“There is no let-up in humanitarian needs in the world,” the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos, told reporters here after she and other senior UN and humanitarian aid officials launched the appeal.
“They are displaced from their homes, hungry, unprotected and vulnerable, living with the consequences of natural disasters and violent conflict,” she added.
The funding call is made under the annual Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) that, since its launch by the UN General Assembly in 1991, has become a central tool used by the world body and other aid organizations to plan, coordinate, fund, implement and monitor their activities.
Amos said the appeal is directed at governments, private individuals and businesses, among others, as she called on them to “contribute to saving lives in 2013.”
She highlighted that 520 UN agencies, non-governmental and other aid organizations have come together to launch the call with the aim to “deliver aid in an effective and coordinated way.”
The Under-Secretary-General also noted how international responses both buttress and enhance local efforts, which she saluted, saying that communities, civil society organizations, businesses, local and national governments were the “first responders, and, throughout a protracted crisis, important providers of support and help.”
Amos said that last year’s CAP appeal for US$7.7 billion to help 51 million people in distress remained 40 per cent underfunded.
“This means that people in need in some parts of the world have not been able to get the help they would have had we got the money,” she said, adding that it was too early to tell how the global financial crisis might affect funding levels this year.
She stressed that a “unified response can save lives and help communities become more resilient.”

Bee's Knees August for Leanne
I have never made either of these blocks before. The scrapbuster block (top) was a lot of fun and I enjoyed making it - although I really had to keep my eye on my quarter inch seam! I'm not sure that I could make a whole quilt of these blocks - cutting all those little squares could be a bit tiresome. I guess I'd have to cut a few at a time and make it a longer term project. Making the string block reminded me of many of the stitch and flip projects I made a few years ago.
I've already made a good start on my MidMod Bee block for August. Jess sent us one color and one white piece of fabric. You can read more about her idea here.

Hi, my symantec is prompting the results of an infection with bloodhound.malpe, it keeps apearing on my screen, I have run the scan several times and it says its on quarentine but it can't be deleted. I've seen another log where you guys give drections to clean this malware or virus, but I don't know if it applies to my computer.
I have an old toshiba running Windows XP inside a network.
The symantec report got several virus results such as: "Security.Risk.Cmdow" in "calc.exe" file; "Spyware.Perfect" in A0004208.exe" file and Bloodhound.MalPE in "A0007396.exe" file. So what would you recomend to do?
Oh! I should mention that I have already formated my computer and the virus got back, it might be stored in the backup so it reactivated itself.

Schedule for Scotts Halts Crabgrass Preventer
Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer is a pre-emergence herbicide that contains the active ingredient pendimethalin, which is a crystal-like man-made chemical that is used in a variety of herbicide products. Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer stops the growth of both summer and annual weeds before they have a chance to germinate and establish themselves in your lawn. Preemergence treatments are considered more effective for crabgrass control, and they also are less likely to injure your grass, according to Michigan State University.
The general rule is to apply pre-emergence herbicides when the soil temperatures warm in the spring to at least 50 or 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This is before the grass begins to grow, and therefore allows the herbicide to create a barrier before the crabgrass begins to grow. Note that established crabgrass are not affected by pre-emergent herbicides, as they work only before germination begins.
The application schedule for Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer depends on the type of weed you’re trying to control, according to Scotts.
March to May
To prevent crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), and other spring annual weeds such as spurge (Euphorbia spp.), foxtail (Setaria spp.) and yellow woodsorrel (Oxalis spp.), Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer should be applied in early spring. The key to successful control is to treat the soil before the weed you’re trying to control begins to germinate. In Northern California, for example, Scott’s says to apply the product before mid-March. While crabgrass typically germinates in early May, other spring weeds may germinate at different times, but pre-emergent control of most spring weeds is typically successful when herbicides are applied before outdoor temperatures begin to average 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
August to October
Winter weeds typically germinate in the late summer to early fall, but remain dormant and resume growth when temperatures become warm again. To prevent the germination of these weeds, apply Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer between August and October. Winter weeds controlled by Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer include annual bluegrass (Poa annua), henbit (Lamium amplexicaule), and chickweed (Stellaria media).
Frequency of Application
After the first application, wait at least two months before applying a second application of Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer, and do not make more than two applications per year. This means if you want to control both spring and winter weeds, you should make one spring application and one fall application.
Warnings and Tips
Never use Scott’s Halts Crabgrass Preventer on dichondra (Dichondra spp.) and bentgrass (Agrostis spp.) lawns, newly seeded lawns, or newly sprigged lawns. After the fourth mowing, it is safe to apply this product to seeded lawns, but wait at least five months before applying on sprigged or plugged areas of lawn. On established lawns, don’t plant new grass seed for at least four growing months after applying Scotts Halts Crabgrass Preventer. Avoid raking or aerating your lawn after application of this herbicide product, because it will disturb the chemical barrier that prevents the weeds, which may cause the herbicide application to be ineffective.

There are two ways to determine the composition of an aggregate mix: by means of an "ideal" grading curves and by means of theoretical and practical determination of aggregate packing value.
Aggregate packing concepts developed in the field of high-performance cement concrete, were transposed to the field of asphalt concrete. These concepts, associated with the use of the gyratory compactor on aggregates only, enabled the development of a new laboratory design procedure of dense high-modulus asphalt concretes (HiMAs).

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury (DOT), Employee Benefits Security Administration (ESA), and Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) recently issued a final ruling on the use of employer-funded health accounts. Effective January 1, 2020, employers of all sizes that do not offer a group coverage plan may use HRAs as a vehicle to help employees pay for health insurance premiums. This ruling extends beyond the current scope of health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs), which allows businesses to offer employer-funded accounts for employees to apply to out-of-pocket medical expenses and now allows employees to pay for insurance premiums.
The new ruling is expected to affect more than 800,000 employers and 11 million employees, making it a far-reaching update to the current system. Under the guidance, employers may offer two new types of HRAs:

The town of Cary is really on a roll with the new parks ...
Carpenter Park, 4420 Louis Stephens Rd., recently opened in western Cary. The 16-acre park includes a playground, basketball court, terraced lawn, preserved forest, pedestrian trail, pickleball courts, a picnic shelter, a central pond with an earthen dam and the town's second community garden.
The $3 million park is paid for thanks to the 2012 Community Bond Referendum, which voters approved. An official park dedication is scheduled for spring 2017, but it's open now for play.
Amy Mackintosh, a town landscape architect, shared some pictures of the playground. She tells me that town officials are working to add more shade to the structures. Right now, there is a shade sail over the preschool area, but there's no cover for the play pieces designed for ages 5 to 12.
"We will be planting trees this fall to augment the ones currently planted," Mackintosh tells me. "The playground is in shade for much of the morning thanks to the adjacent woods on the east side, but can get hot at midday and afternoon. Other than that it’s a fun place to play, and the park also includes a pond with a trail around it and informal play lawns, so I think it will be a great place to take kids to burn off some energy."
The park also is home to a privately funded memorial for American Eagle flights 3378 and 3379 that crashed in Cary in 1988 and 1994, respectively. Carpenter Park is about one mile from where Flight 3379 came down, according to a town press release. The memorial’s semi-circular terrace has two sloping walls with five trees in the center representing Flight 3379 survivors; the trees at the back of the memorial are for the 27 people who died in both crashes. All 12 passengers on Flight 3378 died, while 15 people died on Flight 3379.
This is the town's 31st park. This summer, the town also opened Jack Smith Park, which features the town's first sprayground and second dog park.

I think it’s no secret at this point that I split my time between Albany and Buffalo. The drive sucks, but it definitely keeps my life interesting leading two completely different lives. One of the things I’ve liked about Albany life is being able to discover all the local bands/scene. Although there is are like two legit venues for indie bands to play in (with an additional two DIY venues that I know of), the quality coming out of the region is pretty remarkable with what seems to be little support.
This brings me to the band slowshine, an Albany-based three piece that I first discovered when researching the 17 Best Bands to check out at Move Festival. Consisting of the songwriting partnership between Noah Bondy and Cameron Castan, and a rotating drummer, the duo seems to be on the bill for every great indie show coming to the capital region. In late June, slowshine released a new demo, “Solid State,” coming off a forthcoming release yet to be named. “Solid State” continues with the band’s dark shoegaze sound, accented by Bondy’s desperate howls. Fans of The Cure, Yuck, Dinosaur Jr., or Buffalo-based band Zealot would dig “Solid State.”


Associated Press, March 20, 2016
(AP) A fresh start for Wisconsin running back Corey Clement called for a new number in spring practice.
Foregoing his familiar No. 6 jersey for No. 24, Clement also has a different outlook looking ahead to his senior season as he puts the drama of 2015 behind him.
"Me and Coach (Paul) Chryst are really talking about … changing my mindset and attitude toward how I approach practice each day," Clement said after practice Tuesday. "He kind of made a joke out of it. `Can you handle 24, because 24 is really the workload number."
As in the number that used to belong to former Seattle Seahawks tailback Marshawn Lynch, who went by the nickname "Beast Mode." The Badgers certainly wouldn't mind similar results on the field, but Clement said he actually picked 24 because he wanted a number closer to the numbers for other running backs on the team.
Wisconsin's traditionally strong rushing attack figures to have depth this season, with Clement leading the way. At certain points during a roller coaster of a 2015 campaign for Clement, that didn't seem like it would be the case.
He went into spring practice a year ago as the heir-apparent to record-setting tailback Melvin Gordon. Talk swirled that Clement would be next to leave early for the NFL.
But the regular season started with Clement maligned by a sports hernia, with attempts to play through the injury preventing a return to full health. Surgery followed and Clement was never able to stay on the field consistently when he did come back.
Off the field, Clement was involved in a scrum on Nov. 8 at his off-campus apartment building that led to police citing him for disorderly conduct.
Clement said his offseason routine in part has focused on being more "mature in the mind, just doing positive things whether it's on or off the field."
It helps that Clement is around the team and his fellow running backs more now that he's healthier, position coach John Settle said. Clement was on his own more while hurt.
"It's all about making smart decisions because you're under the magnifying glass," Clement said.
Coaches like what they have seen.
"Some of the things that happened to him, some of the things that he went through, I think he's more aware of where he is, not to put himself in certain situations," Settle said.
Physically, Clement said he is feeling much better. The team is proceeding with Clement cautiously through the first week of spring ball, and Settle said the tailback is expected to be at full speed in a couple of weeks, when Wisconsin returns to practice after spring break.
There is no rush, really, with the depth the Badgers have developed in the backfield.
Dare Ogunbowale, who emerged as the leading rusher with 870 yards on 194 carries last season, figures to play a substantial role no matter how Clement is used.
"I don't even know if Corey knows why he changed his number. … We try to stay out of Corey's head, it's kind of jumbled up in there," Ogunbowale joked on Saturday.
Taiwan Deal and Alec Ingold got valuable experience last year in their freshmen seasons. Bradrick Shaw, a promising recruit out of Alabama, could also be in the mix after redshirting as a freshman in 2015.
But Clement will get another chance to shine as the lead back. With the potential distraction of an early departure for the NFL gone, Clement said he is just focusing on the next workout or the next practice.
"Twenty-four is kind of a new start," he said about his jersey number, "and I'm not letting 6 go entirely – just seeing how it goes through the spring."


Hyderabad: Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani has alleged that Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao did not respond to her calls on day when HCU research scholar Rohit Vemula committed suicide.
Making a statement in Lok Sabha on Wednesday, the Union Minister said Rohit’s dead body was not allowed to be taken to a hospital from the premises of Hyderabad Central University. This was done only to play politics over the dead body, she alleged. “I made a call to KCR but I was told that he is busy. I even called up his daughter and MP Kavitha” she said.
On this, TRS MP Jitendar Reddy countered stating that the Chief Minister has ordered a probe and also sought details from Intelligence Chief Shivdhar Reddy. He said that the Telangana Police have already registered a case in this regard.
Stating that she was moved by the death of Rohit Vemula, Smriti Irani said she was in receipt of letters from several MPs including V. Hanumantha Rao, Asaduddin Owaisi and Union Labour Bandaru Dattatraya seeking justice on Rohit Vemula’s issues.
The Union Minister also accused Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi of playing politics over Rohit’s dead body. “Rahul Gandhi had no time to visit a single family of over 600 students who ended their lives for the cause of Telangana statehood. He never visited any other house whose sons or daughters have committed suicide. But he went to HCU, consoled Rohit’s family and even staged dharna with them” she said. (INN)

It was a diabolical plan through and through. The first step was the assassination of a prominent figure. Then, when associates of that person have gathered together on account of his death, a suicide bomber mingles with the crowd. It went like clockwork, and now two terrorist networks are claiming responsibility for the latest terror attack to hit Pakistan.
Al-Jazeera reports that a hospital in Pakistan’s Quetta City was rocked by an explosion on Monday August 8 from a suicide bombing that killed at least 70 and wounded 112. Sarfraz Bugti, home minister for Balochistan province where Quetta is located, said that the victims were mostly journalists and lawyers, who have gathered at the hospital at the news of the fatal shooting of attorney Anwar Kasi, president of the Balochistan Bar Association, on his way to work earlier that morning.
Amidst the media reporting on the death, and the legal representatives mourning and discussing funeral arrangements for Kasi’s body, an explosion occurred in the hospital’s emergency ward at around 9:30 AM local time. The mass of people were caught in the blast.
As Saeed Shah of the Wall Street Journal describes the aftermath, “It was a scene of utter horror and devastation in the courtyard hospital. There were bodies strewn everywhere, bleeding lawyers trying to get up."
The suicide bombing and the shooting of Kasi were both immediately claimed by the Pakistani Tehreek-i Taliban terrorist group. An email sent by TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan took responsibility for the two attacks and warned that more terror strikes will be carried out soon. The message ended with the announcement of a video report documenting the killings to be released later. In addition, ISIS also took credit for the attacks, as its news agency Amaq claimed that the suicide bomber in the hospital was one of theirs, a “martyr from the Islamic State”.
Pakistani political leaders were quick to condemn the bombing. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared, "No one will be allowed to disturb peace in the province that has been restored due to countless sacrifices of security forces, police and the people of Balochistan."He then called for the utmost vigilance in the country’s law enforcement and military, along with increasing security details for the legal community and judiciary.
Of a morbidly interesting note, the same hospital was also the site of an earlier terror attack back in 2010.

Ashton Kutcher took the stand on Wednesday morning in the trial of an alleged serial killer, Michael Gargiulo, who is accused of murdering his friend, Ashley Ellerin.
Gargiulo is facing two counts of murders in the deaths of two women, including Ellerin. Kutcher was called to the stand at 9:36 a.m. to testify about his plans to go out with Ellerin the night that she was stabbed to death in 2001. Kutcher, who wore a blue suit and a red tie, told the court that he made plans for a date with Ellerin on Feb. 21, 2001. He said he last spoke to her at 8:24 p.m. that evening, and called her after to let her know he was on his way home and then to a party, but she didn't answer her phone. He said he arrived at her home at 10:45 p.m.
A few people in the courtroom chuckled when Kutcher said he didn't call her too much because he was trying to take her on a date and didn't want to seem overeager. The 41-year-old actor testified that when he eventually arrived at her home, he "knocked on the door and there was no answer." He said he looked through a window, tried the front door, and looked through a second window.
"I thought it was odd that lights were on and she wasn't there," he testified. "I saw what I thought was red wine spilled on the carpet."
The actor said he left the home thinking she wasn’t there and had left because he was late. He also said he did not recall seeing Gargiulo at any parties.
Kutcher was calm and well-spoken on the stand during his testimony and only addressed the court when spoken to.
Prosecutors told jurors during opening statements that they believe Gargiulo attacked Ellerin from behind after she exited her shower on Feb. 21, 2001, CBS News reports. Deputy district attorney Daniel Akemon said he believes that the the spilled wine Kutcher said he saw was actually blood.
Gargiulo is also charged with the 2005 murder of Maria Bruno, and the attempted murder of Michelle Murphy, who was stabbed in her home in 2008. He is also facing a murder charge in Illinois in the 1993 death of Tricia Pacaccio, who was found stabbed to death outside her home.

An alternative form of sightseeing that reveals a whole new Kyoto landscape
The experimental spaces devised by the team of designers and architects who make up researchlight form an indispensable part of the Kyoto Experiment landscape. At the spring and autumn festivals last year, researchlight created an installation in ROHM Square, the courtyard at ROHM Theatre Kyoto bordering Okazaki Park, that reconfigured various elements of urban infrastructure and architectural remnants into a whole new kind of spatial experience for audiences.
For Kyoto Experiment 2017, researchlight will turn to aspects of the city landscape that are not adequately covered by maps. Kyoto attracts many tourists, who tend to move around the city using a variety of maps. However, people are rarely aware of the things that are not mentioned on these maps and tend to pass these by without noticing. This is an attempt to create and install signs drawing attention to such places.
The project involves UMA/design farm, the design team responsible for the festival’s art direction, and dot architects. Visualizing a whole new Kyoto landscape, Something Here will offer a quietly unsettling experience of the city.
- Locations around Kyoto
- Osaka, Japan
Formed by Toshikatsu Ienari and Takeshi Shakushiro, dot architects is based at Coop Kitakagaya, an interdisciplinary collective in Osaka that brings together people from the fields of art, alternative media, archiving, architectural, regional research, clubs, and nonprofits. The collaborative practice of dot architects involves both specialists and nonspecialists in design and construction. In addition to design, it also works in research and art projects as well as on-site construction. Its current members are: Toshikatsu Ienari, Takeshi Shakushiro, Wataru Doi, Hidefumi Terada, Keiko Miyachi, and Ai Ikeda.
Founded in 2007 by Yuma Harada and based in Osaka, UMA/design farm creates cultural, community and welfare projects that aspire to create new experiences and visualize ideas through graphic design, spaces, exhibitions, and project planning. With a focus on collaborative thinking and creativity, its design practice is based on repeated dialogue and experimentation. Its current members are: Yuma Harada, Keisuke Yamazoe, Ryosuke Nishino, Yuka Tsuda, and Kanae Hirakawa.

Jaylen Alexander raced 65 yards on the first play from scrimmage as Orange County rolled to its third Jefferson District win in four weeks by a 50-7 margin over visiting Monticello.
“Jaylen’s a workhorse,” said Orange coach Jesse Lohr of the Hornets’ senior running back, who surpassed 1,000 yards for the season and 5,000 for his career with 213 yards on just 17 carries. “He runs in there against loaded boxes night in, night out, and he’s never complained. I’m proud of who he is and where he’s going.”
Alexander propelled OC’s offense with two more first half touchdown runs from 24 and 49 yards, while the Hornet defense thwarted three promising second quarter drives by Monticello. First, senior defensive lineman Ricardo Flores-Umana chased down MHS quarterback Malachi Fields on a fourth down run after he had passed the chains, dislodging the ball for Rebel Fretwell to recover. Junior defensive back Doug Newsome intercepted Chase Hummel’s pass in the endzone to halt the next drive in Hornet territory. Finally, after the Mustangs advanced to first-and-goal at the 1 on their final possession of the first half, the defense stuffed two runs and disrupted two pass plays for a turnover on downs, thereby sending OC into the break up 30-0.
“We did a good job tonight of rallying to the football,” said Lohr. “Our 3-4 scheme at times can look like a 3-man box that drops eight; at times, it can look like a 5-man line. Then we bring guys out of the secondary or linebackers blitzing, so the defense can do a lot of different things. Those guys down there on the goal line stand made a good play; there’s nothing cute about it besides just playing some football and holding their ground.”
The Hornets’ offense averaged an impressive 10.3 yards per play as it outgained Monticello 474-237. With Alexander and sophomore Paul Poirier picking up chunks on the ground, senior quarterback Walker Johnson led an effective passing attack that delivered three touchdowns. Johnson completed 7-of-9 for 166 yards despite being sidelined for most of the second quarter after a hard sack. Poirier tallied OC’s fourth first-half touchdown with a 15-yard run midway through the period and Siboniso Mthethwa followed it up by passing to Jireek Washington for the two-point conversion.
Still, Lohr will have plenty to address as the game tape will also feature 10 penalties. Personal fouls on consecutive plays late in the first quarter cost the Hornets two touchdowns.
“They come out here each and every week and just fight and play with passion,” Lohr said. “Sometimes its gets us the penalty flags, but most of the time it’s just playing with raw emotion.”
Monticello got on the board after receiving the second half kickoff and driving 64 yards in seven plays. Fields connected with Tony Frazier for a 37-yard score. With the Mustangs down three offensive linemen, its top two running backs, and a receiver, coach Jeff Lloyd had to get creative with the offensive gameplan.
“We tried about everything,” Lloyd said of Monticello’s efforts to get Fields the ball with some space as a passer, runner, or receiver. “He’s a really talented kid. You watch film and you know he is our offense.”
Chase Hummel shifted to quarterback with some regularity and completed a pair of passes for 26 yards, both to Fields. The duo also combined for a 33-yard trick play where Hummel pitched to Fields who ran wide before launching a pass back across to Hummel. Fields led the Mustangs with 54 yards on nine rushes and completed eight passes for 158 yards; all together, he accounted for 238 total yards, exceeding the team’s net total by one.
“Malachi Fields is a heck of an athlete,” said Lohr. “He’s just a special guy and we had to be smart about where he was on the field at all times. Coach Ferguson and his defensive staff and players executed a really good gameplan of understanding where he was and rallying to the football.”
Orange answered Monticello’s third quarter touchdown with three more of its own. Johnson, who returned at quarterback in the second half, hit Alexander on a middle screen that ended up going 40 yards for a touchdown.
“Teams bite on the run a lot, so we tried to hit them by letting them come in, and I just slipped through,” said Alexander.
The defense struck again as Newsome made his second pick of the night and setup the Hornets at the MHS 45. Johnson promptly hit Mthethwa for a catch-and-run touchdown to make it 43-7 and establish a running clock. Johnson rounded out the scoring on OC’s next possession with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Washington.
“Orange is a big, physical football team, and with a lack of kids to put in the game, it kind of wore on us,” Lloyd said.
Monticello (1-7, 1-3) hosts its final home game next Friday against Charlottesville. Meanwhile, Orange (3-5, 3-1) will look to continue its march back to .500 after a bye week when it hosts Fluvanna for Senior Night at Porterfield Park.

Sen. Mark Warner Demands Answers From Meta on its Pixel Practices
A Virginia Democratic senator is adding to the pressure on Meta following revelations that its online Pixel tracking tool captures sensitive health information.
Sen. Mark Warner wrote to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg last Thursday expressing concern over the company’s ability to obtain data including medial conditions, appointment dates and treating physician names.
Controversy has steadily mounted this summer and fall over revelations that hospitals and other healthcare providers have incorporated into patient portals web tracking technology offered by Meta and Google.
A recent study by data privacy firm Lokker found that more than 2,500 U.S. hospitals and healthcare provider websites and patient portals use tracking tools.
“It is critical that technology companies like Meta take seriously their role in protecting user health data. Without meaningful action, I fear that these continuing privacy violations and harmful uses of health data could become the new status quo in healthcare and public health,” Warner said in his letter to Zuckerberg.
A Meta spokesman responded to Information Security Media Group’s request for comment on the letter by stating, “Advertisers should not send sensitive information about people through our business tools as doing so is against our policies. We educate advertisers on properly setting up business tools to prevent this from occurring. Our system is designed to filter out potentially sensitive data it is able to detect.”
Advocate Aurora Health, a large healthcare provider in the Midwest, earlier this month reported to federal regulators its use of web tracking technology in its web portal and scheduling apps as a data breach (see: Health Entity Says Tracking Code Breach Affects 3 Million).
A Supreme Court decision in June ending the nationwide right to abortion “shined a spotlight on the sensitivity of health information,” says attorney Maneesha Mithal, a partner at law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and a former Federal Trade Commission official.
Nonprofit investigative reporting organizations The Markup and Reveal reported in June that Meta collects abortion-related information about users (see: Lawsuit: Facebook Collecting Patient Data of ‘Millions’).
Where sensitive health data can be sold, or subpoenaed, it provides “a hyper-efficient, low or no-cost investigatory engine for law enforcement,” says technology attorney Steven Teppler of law firm Sterlington.
Meta faces at least four proposed class action lawsuits about to be consolidated in the Northern District of California related to its use of Pixel and the privacy of health data.
Meta is not the only tech giant facing scrutiny over its data collection practices. But some tech vendors are beginning to respond to the concerns.
In July, Google announced it would soon begin deleting location history pertaining to individuals’ visits to facilities offering sensitive healthcare services in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and as some states begin to ban and criminalize abortion (see: Taking Action to Enhance Sensitive Health Data Privacy).


The government is working on a blueprint for the domestic manufacturing of aircraft and also looking at aircraft financing from within the country. Speaking to the media at the Global Aviation Summit 2019, organised jointly by the civil aviation ministry, the Airports Authority of India and Ficci, the minister emphasised on carrying out of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) work domestically, Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu said on Tuesday.
He also said that, we will soon roll out a road map for manufacturing of aircraft in India. Stating that the country needs 2,300 new aircraft to meet the future air travel demands, we would like to join hands with top players from across the globe. The government wants aircraft financing to be done by domestic players. We are already working on financing of aircraft and how that should happen from India. We are losing out lots of resources to outsiders. The government wants aircraft MRO to happen in the country. There are so many planes and the maintenance and repairs that can be done in India.
Prabhu warned that if MRO work is not carried out in the country then the government will be losing out lots of money, besides job opportunities. The domestic passenger traffic has been growing at 17-18 per cent. The government is also now focusing on cargo and has for the first time unveiled a policy to boost the growth in the segment. The government has recently launched a drone policy and would like to make sure that drone becomes one of the preferred uses for many sectors such as agriculture and disaster management, among others. We will make sure that drones are manufactured in the country.

- Fetish Retardant: In one of the OVA episodes, Necromancer summons a bunch of undead cats and has them lick the heroines. The way it's framed shows that it's supposed to be Fanservice, but many people found it to be gross instead due to being a (literally) unholy combination of necrophilia with bestiality. Not to mention the Fridge Logic of the cats still having tongues in spite of having been reduced to skeletons.
- Fridge Horror: Episode 9 shows that Death Is Cheap for the heroines, as even if they die they can be resurrected if their companions pay a tribute to the town church. So, how many times have they died off-screen? Given how Too Dumb to Live they are shown to be, "a lot" seems like a safe bet.
- Les Yay: The series has an all-female cast, so this was unavoidable. Examples include Fighter groping Paladin while under the effects of a suspicious potion and Paladin admitting in a later episode that she wants to lick Mage's body. Then there is the ending of episode 8.
- The OVAs ultimately did away with this trope by taking away the "sub" of subtext.
- Moe: Mage as a cute, little, cowardly witch. Ai Kakuma's performance is certainly a plus.

Narke x Nowt, lovely colours in this Acid Junkies piece. Really liking this by Rambo.Mornin’ beautiful! Why thank you Miso!TCM wonderful wall, featuring Zero, Trik9, Prone Kode, Mars and Legal.Mist1, Sheffield legend, had someone in Bristol asking me about this chap.Link, had a birthday recently I hear… Sico, with a valentine message for someone special, I think 🙂 Pawski, on top form with this lovely lady.Alex Ekins tribute/show of solidarity to the Charlie Hebdo victims. Olds, not sure if he’s a local or a regular visitor, but I like his work.Stampy Longnose, by one of the youngest artists on the scene at the tender age of 8!Ogosh x Alas deadly combination.
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to put this post together,but it has. The jam at the ball courts, Sheffields biggest graff event on the calendar, was as always well attended with many of the great and the good from here and further afield turning up to paint. Byne and Haste were on it, in the same spot as last year, I believe.Iron Man being wonderfully recreated by Mace.Ryak, dressed appropriately for the weather,as were many others, because it was blooming hot!, working on their signature pieces.Si2, Hull Graffiti working his magic again, I’m so glad he likes coming to this city.Kosh painting a pooch.Trik9, having a little dancing interlude.
Only paid a flying visit to the jam on the day, due to having a very hot dog with me! Here’s some finished masterpieces.Si2 Hull Graffiti.Meth, CoLor, Kode and Lone.Byne and Haste.MTH, Irek Onger and Suer.Surge.Sone.Haven’t got a decent shot of this complete due to the goals being put back up, don’t know the artists name either.Cantastic Art.This one was spoilt by the goal too.I don’t know the names of these guys, sorry.Trik9, Prone and Xanone.Pawski and Shoe.Public Offender.Open and Link.Ryak and ?.Core.And finally…
Sadly, as much as this is an annual event, so too is the dogging of some of the pieces as soon as the jam is over, lucky there was some star who came and retouched them all…… warms the cockles of my heart! 🙂
Prones’ first burner of the year, with a very appropriate quote from Nikola Tesla,not sure that he was referring to graffiti though.TCM – Rack One, Lone Kode Trik and Bern, awesome!A touching piece by Robo, a lovely tribute.Suek, I love this, hurts my head, but love it anyway. Temal, anybody know if there is a significance to the me me me?Cantastic Art, like this much.Fox by ABC, new to Sheffield I think, good to see new artists getting out and about.Foundry, Pawski and Ample Aerosolisz, simply amazing.Mr Kent, seems to know more about my childhood than I would like…Sour, sneaky piece.Eug x CoLor Art, not a new one, just took me a while to get around to seeing it.And this weeks award for painting in awkward places to photograph goes to Bine and Xastexo, fabulous staircase, pictures don’t do it justice. Oh and this is is Jim, apparently.
Some of the pieces shown have already disappeared under the Halloween walls, but they’re very worthy of a viewing here. I don’t know this Gusk, a visitor I think, but I like it.Gzos, holy cow!MTH had paid a visit, not sure of the individual names, but it’s Boaster on the right. And Dilk on the left.Don’t know who but it’s fresh. It’s by Tals, a lovely lady writer, thanks for the info.Don’t know this one either, but I’m guessing part of MTH I can read this (!) , but I read it wrong and it’s Irek.CoLor Art and Eug, love the colours in this.Eug busy as always,Teas, a welcome but less frequent visitor, he should get out more.KRS One by Mars,H2i, awesome!D7606s post box featuring Marilyn Monroe, love it.One of Coloquix’ luscious ladies.Nice to see Prone back on it after his extended tour of America with this colourful collab with Lone.Kisk, Risk, Trik9 and Such, with an absolute stunner.Sadhu by Alex Ekins, and me, contemplating the universe, as you do.
I’m almost up to date since my holiday, apart from all the ones I haven’t got to yet!
I love Halloween, and I’ve been well happy this year that so many artists have got into the spirit, so to speak. Love this piece by Coloquix.Part of a huge wall in the city centre, this section features Trik9, Jaer and New Yorker Eli One.Trik9(again) and Kisks’ bit.Such, with the most amazing Evil Mickey I have ever seen, Kode and Lone.Gzos’ contribution. The whole wall is fantastic,I broke it down into sections so you can see more of the detail.CoLor Art went over to the darkside. Mila Ks piece, sensational as always. This beast of a wall features the talents of Booms, CoLor Art, Danks, Trik9 and Prone.Lone did this spooktacular(did I just say that!) take on Jason.
All in all made me a very happy undead vampire bunny!
Just before popping off on my holidays I called in at this event at the Nursery Tavern, organised by My Life Project https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Life-Project/275414552515098 . I had expected a small scale event with just a few local artists, how wrong I was! Kisk and Trik 9 were working together on a wall.
A lot more artists were painting than I expected, many others had called in for support and a catch up, it was great to see so many friendly faces. 🙂
Such a fantastic event, lots of artists and lots of spectators, the landlord was an absolute star as well, I do hope they do it again.
Third and final trip, probably, to Wakefield and the last ‘Revive’ Jam of the year, and what a turnout! Kem Mef paid a visit and did a cracking piece that I managed to not get a single decent shot of.
Apologies to any artist painting that aren’t featured, once again just too much good stuff, not that I’m complaining…
Sadly though I have to report a number of the large pieces had been dogged within days, jealousy makes children of some people it would seem…. but lots of photos were taken on the day by lots of photographers, so the images will remain in all their glory on line at least.
Skema and Apps travelled up early from Walsall to take part in this years Jam, producing a stunning Star Wars themed collaboration. Perhaps it was part of a cunning plan to make sure they got finished sooner and didn’t fry like the rest of us, because it was certainly a scorcher.
So yes all in all a good day out, met lots of people, got burnt to a crisp, saw some wonderful graffiti/art, got a Booms piece of my own and had some fabulous indian food, does it get any better than that? Probably not…
P.S. Apologies to any artist not featured here, there was just too much!
A sign we’ve had some decent weather recently, the pace of work in the city has been frenetic. A recent visitor to Sheffield Rateone, brought a cuddly cyclops with him.Boms and CoLor Art produced this clever collaboration that is even better in the flesh.
Mila has been busy too with the fab piece above and the wonderful character below which, is in such a place that a little conversation kept running through my head….’So can you tell me how you managed to break your leg a second time?’…’Well, it was like this…!’
And that’s not the half of it!!

Every courageous life is lived in the grit and difficulty of existence – David Whyte
Like many kids, I grew up with stories that started with, “Once upon a time…” and ended with, ” … and lived happily ever after.” Excellent, a good cheery start for kids.
But at some point, possibly during adolescence, possibly during second adolescence (aka mid life), you kind of start to realise that somewhere in the ending there really ought to be a mention of the fact that, as well as the happy bit, “Sh*t still happens.”
Because it does: Things don’t work out; People you love go away, fall ill or have the audacity to die; Your circumstances change in a way you don’t like; You fall in love and sometimes you fall back out again; Dreams come true and then you discover the dream comes with some tedious rubbishy stuff to deal with too…
So, this quote is nurturing to me because it reminds me that life is amazing and we can blossom into the most wonderful new ways of living and sharing our particular talents. And whilst all that gorgeous stuff is happening, it’s absolutely normal for stuff to hit the fan sometimes, and we manage it as best we can. That’s part of the story, it’s part of the deal. It’s part of life, along with the happiness.
So there’s no need to throw your toys out of the pram if things don’t go your way. Just decide what you can do about it. Keep the faith and carry on, deal with the sh*t and enjoy the happiness 🙂

Ellport woman could handle the work in the Air Force
ELLPORT -- Sheri Paganie, 49, joined the Air Force in 1984 and became a jet engine mechanic working on F-4 Phantoms, the supersonic fighter-bombers used extensively in Vietnam.
Paganie was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina, working on planes that had flown in the war.
"I was the only woman mechanic on the flight line, which is the planes that were flying in and out. There were other women on the base, and we lived in coed barracks," Paganie said. "Some guys were nice and some weren't."
The jet engine tools were about the same size as tools for repairing cars, so that was not a problem. The dirt, grease and oil were another matter, though.
"I hated the oil and grease. We washed our own clothes, and you just couldn't get it all out. A can of Coke in the washing machine helped," Paganie said. "I kept my hair braided and off my collar so it wasn't a problem. At the time, I would not have cut my hair."
Paganie worked the night shift, from 4 p.m. until whenever they finished their job or when the next crew came in the morning. "We would get tired, but we couldn't quit," she said.
When her four-year enlistment was up, Paganie wanted to change her job, but her request was denied because jet mechanics were in high demand.
"I took my discharge then. I would have stayed if I could have had another job, but thinking about it now, I would be retired with a pension," Peganie said. "The service had great job security."
Peganie enlisted while she was a senior at Lincoln High School, and she chose the Air Force because her mother, Roberta "Bobbi Lou" Popescue Ewart, had served in the Air Force in the 1960s. Peganie said she joined the service because she didn't want to go to college, but when she was discharged, she went to college for accounting.
When Paganie graduated from high school, she was sent to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas for her basic training.
"It was awful. All the rules and being away from home. It was the most I ever missed home in my life," Paganie said.
Paganie, who lives in Ellport, said she was glad there was no war when she was in the service.
"I had some fun and I made a lot of good friends in the Air Force, and now, thanks to Facebook, we keep in touch all the time," Pagainie said.

John Herbert Gleason (February 26, 1916June 24, 1987) was an American actor, comedian, writer, and composer known affectionately as "The Great One".

While Boom! Studios isn't exactly new to mobile comics on digital devices having had certain titles (like "Hexed") available since 2009, the publisher is making significantly more consolidated headway in the digital space today with an all-new branded app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch via comiXology.
This morning, Marvel Comics announced that Matt Fraction and Carmine Di Giandomenico's "Invincible Iron Man Annual" #1, an 80-page monster featuring Matt Fraction's definitive retelling of the origin and Marvel Universe history of archenemy the Mandarin, will be released day-and-date on the Marvel Comics iPhone/iPad app alongside the printed copy.

Webb: Forget Roseanne. Here are 3 actual threats to free speech
Very few people understand the First Amendment.
That’s my jolly conclusion after absorbing the inferno-hot takes piling up since “Roseanne” – that blue-collar juggernaut with Evansville ties – was canceled on Tuesday after its star, Roseanne Barr, compared former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett, a black woman, to an ape.
That crossed the line for ABC, which thought it was A-OK for Barr to be a 9/11 truther and believe the Boston Marathon was a false-flag attack.
The response from Roseanne’s supporters has been what it always is after someone gets punished for saying something stupid: “The First Amendment is under attack!”
For the infinity-th time: the First Amendment only protects you from government censorship and has never once, in the history of America, shielded you from consequences. And since Roseanne will spend the rest of her days living in a mansion and tweeting whatever she pleases, as opposed to rotting away in a CIA black site prison, I think she’ll be fine.
But in a weird way, Roseanne’s supporters are right. The First Amendment is often attacked. It just has nothing to do with the star of “Look Who’s Talking, Too.”
If you’d like to get angry about the suppression of speech, here are several actual examples.
Gerrymandering is a huge problem in Indiana. Since Republicans redrew congressional districts in 2010, the GOP has gone on to win 70 out of 100 seats in the House and 41 out of 50 Senate seats.
“We are a Republican state, but we’re not an 80 percent Republican state,” Julia Vaughn, policy director for Common Cause Indiana, told me last year.
When Democrats were in charge, they drew themselves into House advantages for eight years between 2000 and 2010.
But neither state legislators nor Attorney General Curtis Hill seem to care. Hill has argued in favor of gerrymandering, and state legislators refused to do anything about it last year.
Elsewhere, legislators are dumping on the Constitution in even more egregious ways. An Indy Star investigation found that state and local lawmakers have extended early voting opportunities in Republican-dominated areas such as Hamilton County while shrinking it in Democrat-heavy Marion County.
Earlier this year, Evansville City Councilor Michelle Mercer mused that, technically, there’s no state law forcing the council to allow public comment at meetings.
That line of thought was shot down by her fellow councilors before it went any further.
"All hell would break loose if we didn’t allow people to speak," at-large councilor H. Dan Adams said.
But currently, City Council limits public comments to three minutes – a small window of time that’s often cut into by interrupting councilors and a talkative audience.
Councilor Justin Elpers tried to extend commenters’ time to unlimited – and found support from Connie Robertson and John Hayden – but the council ultimately voted it down.
The executive branch
We’re all aware of President Donald Trump’s attempts to stifle the free press. Some of his acolytes are even worse. The National Rifle Association recently took to Twitter to ask Congress to pass a law limiting the press’ ability to report on mass shootings.
But it ain’t all Trump’s team. Not even close. President Obama’s administration vigorously prosecuted leakers. According to the New York Times, it even spied on journalists. And Hillary Clinton’s PR team was about as friendly to the press as an angry chihuahua ripping into a throw pillow.
All of us – conservative, liberal and Whig alike – only worry about free speech when we agree with the speech in question. We all pretend like it’s a sacrosanct thing, but the only time we get up in arms about the First Amendment is when we willfully misunderstand it.
Roseanne will be fine. The rest of us? I’m not so sure.

Your mouth contains dozens of different bacteria. That’s natural. However, when the bacteria and the food you eat form plaque and tartar on your teeth, this can lead to a serious gum infection known as periodontal disease.
When people have periodontal infections in their gums, they develop “pockets" between the gums and teeth. As periodontal disease gets worse these pockets become deeper, providing more space for the infection to grow below the gum line. This can cause bone and gum tissue loss. If too much bone is lost, you can lose your teeth.
You might think you can clean this at home yourself. However, as the gum pockets get deeper, they are much harder to clean with just a toothbrush and dental floss. If periodontal disease reaches the jawbone, the teeth can become loose and may have to be removed.
The good news is these deep pockets can be treated with pocket reduction. A dentist or an oral surgeon can measure the depth of your pockets to see if they need professional care.
Pocket reduction surgery (also known as flap surgery) is effective at eliminating bacteria, reducing inflammation and saving teeth.
During pocket reduction surgery, the dentist or oral surgeon makes tiny incisions in your gum, pulls back the gum tissue, exposes the roots, and removes the bacteria causing the infection.
Periodontitis can cause bone loss, so scaling and root planing may be needed to remove tartar from the surface of the root and smooth the damaged bone where bacteria can hide. Medication can also be injected to eliminate bacteria.
The gum is sutured up with small stitches that will dissolve in days. If a soft tissue laser is used to do the surgery, then no stitches will be needed and there is little, if any, bleeding.
Your gums and teeth may be sensitive after your pocket reduction surgery, but you will be given painkiller to manage the pain. You can also hold an ice pack against your mouth to help reduce any swelling from the procedure. Pocket reduction surgery can stop gum disease and improve the look of your smile. This is a procedure that you won’t regret having.
If you notice inflammation and pain in your gums, you should contact Dr. Molayem. You do not want to put this off because periodontal disease can cause serious problems. The sooner you get help, the better. Delaying treatment will mean more problems and more pain.

Launch site: Plesetsk 43/4 (62°55'44.06"N, 40°27'24.71"E)
Launch date: November 2, 2010
The launch time is:
03:58:39 Mocsow DST 02.11.2010
00:58:39 UTC November 2nd, 2010
8:58:39 p.m. EDT November 1st, 2010
Payload: Meridian military communications satellite
Spacecraft: Meridian (14F112)
The launch has already happened, and it was okay. Does anybody want me to supply more info?
Okay, here we go:
Manufacturer: JSC "Information Satellite Systems Reshetnev Company"
Meridian series satellites serve as a part of the United System of Satellite Communications 2nd generation (USSC-2) used by various governmental agencies of Russia, including the armed forces. Placed in a Molniya orbit, it provides high latitude transponder coverage, while Raduga class satellites residing in the GEO, provide global coverage. Meridian is viewed upon as a replacement for the older Molniya-3 spacecraft class.
It is believed to have a pressurized hull part and overall design similar to Uragan-M class satellites that are currently employed as the mainstay of the GLONASS navigation system. Unlike Molniya series that only worked in the solar-facing attitude, the Meridian has full 3-axis stabilisation and rotating solar arrays.
Meridian satellites reside in Molniya orbits (900 km x 39000 km; 65°)
Spacecraft type history
In the middle of 2006, the Russian government released a transcript of the Security Council meeting in Kremlin, which quoted Russian Ministry of Defense Sergei Ivanov as saying that flight tests of the new Meridian spacecraft were scheduled for no later than the 4th quarter of 2006, with the goal of upgrading the telecommunications segment of the military command and control system. (Transcript Moscow, Kremlin, June 20, 2006.)
According to unofficial postings on the web, the Meridian satellite is equipped with a pressurized service module and a three-axis attitude control system. Some of the systems, including onboard flight control computer and propulsion might be similar to those developed for the Uragan-M navigation satellite. The spacecraft also sports solar panels capable of rotating themselves toward the sun, along a single axis.
Both, Uragan and Meridian satellites were developed at NPO PM in Zheleznogorsk, where the latter project apparently originated back in 1978. NPO PM developed absolute majority of Russian spacecraft for telecommunications and navigation, both military and civilian.
As with Uragan satellites, the production of operational Meridian satellites was apparently subcontracted to PO Polyot in the city of Omsk. During several aerospace exhibitions in Russia circa 2001, the organization released a photo of a satellite, which was advertised as “new” Molniya, which is a communications satellite, operating in the highly elliptical orbit. At the time, sources at PO Polyot told reporter with the Kommersant newspaper Ivan Safronov (R.I.P.) that the spacecraft had already been built but had little chance of getting off the ground due to lack of funds.
Meridian-1, not given a Cosmos designation, launched on December 24, 2006. Two and half years later, during the coverage of the second Meridian launch, the head of NPO PM (then remaned ISS Reshetnev) Nikolai Testoedov told Russian media that the first Meridian satellite failed before the end of its projected lifespan. He blamed a collision with space junk for the premature demise of the spacecraft.
Meridian-2, also not designated a "Cosmos-####", launched on May 21, 2009 (see our thread).
According to the official Russian sources, the launch vehicle successfully delivered the satellite into orbit at 04:13 Moscow Time. The spacecraft established contact with the ground and its systems worked well, the Russian space forces reported. However, western radar found the Meridian and its Fregat upper stage in the 275 by 36,473 and 191 by 36,377-kilometer orbits. Independent observers noticed that these parameters, especially perigee, were considerably lower than those of the original Meridian satellite, inserted into a 1,009 by 39,818-kilometer orbit. Also, the perigee of the spacecraft was within a range of altitudes, where the friction of the upper atmosphere could quickly degrade the satellite's orbit, unless maneuvers to raise it were taken urgently.
A respectable source on the Novosti Kosmonavtiki forum reported that preliminary data indicated the shutdown of the third stage of the launch vehicle three seconds earlier than planned. The Fregat upper stage apparently made an attempt to compensate the underperformance of the third stage with its own extended burn, until it run out of propellant.
As it transpired in the first half of June 2009, the investigation commission traced the problem to an erroneous input of data about the payload into the flight program, as a result of poor interaction between the customer and the developer. It led to overuse of propellant during the first and second burns of the Fregat upper stage (not the third stage of the Molniya rocket as was originally reported.) At the end of the second burn of the Fregat engine, it was shut down prematurely based on the propellant level data. Fortunately, the third (aborted) engine burn was expected to be very short, consuming the amount of propellant just enough to ignite the main engine. The problem during the insertion triggered the separation of the upper stage and its payload, as it was designed in case of emergency.
Thus far, all Meridian missions never saw a full success.
Meridian-4 launch is expected to happen in 2011 (same launcher, same launch facility).
Launcher: Soyuz-2-1A with Fregat upper stage
Manufacturer: Samara Space Centre
Number of stages|3
Liftoff mass|312 tonnes
Maximum length|46.3 m
Nose Fairing diameter|2.7 m; 3.0 m; 3.3 m; 3.715 m; 4.11 m
It can deliver up to 6830 kg of payload into 220*220 km circular orbit with inclination of 62.8° when launched from Plesetsk.
The upper stage: Fregat (meaning Frigate)
Manufacturer: NPO Lavochkin
Flight qualified in 2000, the Fregat upper stage is an autonomous and flexible upper stage that is designed to operate as an orbital vehicle. It extends the capability of the lower three stages of the Soyuz vehicle to provide access to a full range of orbits (LEO, SSO, MEO, GTO, GEO and escape). In order to provide the Fregat with high initial reliability, several flight-proven subsystems and components from previous spacecraft and rockets are incorporated into the upper stage. The upper stage consists of 6 spherical tanks (4 for propellants, 2 for avionics) arrayed in a circle, with trusses passing through the tanks to provide structural support. The stage is independent from the lower three stages, having its own guidance, navigation, control, tracking, and telemetry systems. The stage uses storable propellants (UDMH/NTO) and can be restarted up to 20 times in flight, thus enabling it to carry out complex mission profiles. It can provide the customer with 3-axis stabilization or spin-up of their spacecraft.
The dry mass of a Fregat (as of October 2006) is 924 kg; with fuel the mass is up to 5350 kg. Current modification of the main engine has a specific impulse of 332 s and a thrust of 2018 kg. The reaction control system includes 12 engines, each having 5 kg thrust, 225 s Isp, using pure hydrazine, with mass up to 42 kg.
The vehicle's reliability statistics according to http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/reliability2010.txt:

Launch Complex 43/4 (62°55'44.06"N, 40°27'24.71"E)
After a 9 min long boosting stage, the payload assembly is put into 62.8° inclined initial orbit with mean altitude of 210 km. After a 15 min long coasting, a second Fregat's 613 seconds long burn puts the payload into a transfer orbit. After reaching the apogee, the orbit's shape is finalized.
