Galaxy Note 9 May Get Under Display Print Reader; Other Android Makers Looking To Face ID Clones; GM Buys Lidar Maker For Self-Driving; Food Delivered to Your Mouth-We Will Become Like In Wall-EPosted: October 9, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: 3D, AR, Cruise Automation, Electric cars, Fingerprint sensors, Food levitation, General Motors, LIDAR, self-driving car, Strobe, Sussex, TastyFloats Leave a comment
Apple had to ditch the effort for the iPhone X, but Samsung is working on putting under screen fingerprint sensors in the Galaxy Note 9 for next year. Businessinsider.com reports that they are planning to let you unlock your screen simply by touching a finger on part of it.
Meanwhile, other Android makers are turning to developing 3D sensing for Face ID clones like Apple has in the soon to be released iPhone X. Appleinsider.com says the number of makers looking at 3D sensing has tripled since Apple showed off the tech in September. It’s not all about unlocking phones…the 3D tech also opens the door to AR…augmented reality.
General Motors has bought Strobe, a 3 year old startup that makes lidar tech for self driving vehicles. According to the New York Times, the company will be folded into Cruise Automation, the GM self-driving subsidiary. The General says it will help accelerate its efforts to develop and build electric cars with self-driving capabilities. They are saying the tech will help bring such cars to the market sooner than you think!
Researchers at University of Sussex have developed TastyFloats…a food delivery system that levitates food morsels right into your mouth…no hands or utensils! Thenextweb.com says it’s not really ro make us like the denizens of Wall-E, but to test if food tastes differently without touch or manipulation. It uses two phased arrays of ultrasonic transducers to transport the morsels of food. OTOH, someone may ‘monitize’ the idea, and then we really could all become porky couch potatoes.

The Glorious Revolution abolished absolutism and established a constitutional monarchy in England in which parliament had basic sovereignty over the king. The Glorious Revolution led to the 1689 English Bill of Rights which was quickly followed by the 1689 Mutiny Act which sought to limit the maintenance of a standing army during peacetime to one year.
Glorious Revolution and the American Colonies
The Glorious Revolution led to a spate of short-lived rebellions in the colonies which can be seen as precursors to the American Revolution. The English Bill of Rights, that followed the Glorious Revolution, also had a massive influence on the colonies in North America and the Constitution of the United States.
The Glorious Revolution in England
The Glorious Revolution in England changed the role and powers of the Kings of England from those of an Absolute monarch to a Constitutional monarch.
- An 'Absolute Monarchy' meant the king had the power to do do anything without any constraint by law or parliament
- A 'Constitutional Monarchy' meant the king acted as a figurehead whose power was limited by parliament

text: What’s going on with the Dam on the Oetz river? by JK Team | Jun 17, 2020 | Australia, Internationalisation | 0 comments Most likely you have seen one or the other post about the dam on the Oetz river in Tyrol. I thought it might help to write a short recap of what has happened to make it easier for you to understand what is going on at the moment. It started in march 2020 when they began to build the hydro power plant without all the legal permissions. WET – a club that fights for the rivers in tyrol – together with the „Free rivers fund“, „Save our rivers“ and the WWF created a petition against it. Additionally to that, while the petition was spreading through the internet, they a made a e-mail template so everybody could easily send a complaining e-mail to the government. To our all surprise, the government replied! If you are interested in what they said, check this link: http://stubaiwasser.at/email-tyrolean-government/ It also shows a fact based reply by WET to what the government is saying. After that, they organized a demonstration where the involved clubs handed over the petition to the government. The petition was signed by 22.800 people!!! When the petition was handed over, the politicians made a statement. There was a short amount of time to ask questions and as it came to a discussion between a female activist of the WWF and Josef Geisler, he called her a „disgusting slut“. Let’s see where this leads to in the next weeks! Finally some notes about how the hydro plant would look like if it was built: They are planning a diversion hydro power plant in the Ötz Valley. From above Achstürze Falls the river’s natural flow will be diverted through pipes. This power plant would be the first in an otherwise free-flowing Ache river. With Achstürze Falls running dry, this steep and ecologically unique section of waterfalls would be lost. This would also seriously affect the river section below, the ‘Wellerbrücke’ rapids the world famous run of the Sickline Extreme Kayaking World Championships. The upper section of the Wellerbrücke would run dry, and the lower section would no longer follow a natural flow regime – instead the levels would rise and fall according to how much energy the electricity company chooses to sell. The residents living near the planned reservoir in Tumpen are rightly concerned of the increased flood risk for Tumpen and Habichen. With the risk of a flash flood the Wellerbrücke section would be too dangerous as it is so steep and difficult, so small changes of the waterlevel can be a serious problem. -Andi Brunner Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.

SpaceX launched 22 Starlink satellites to orbit Sunday night (July 23) and landed the returning rocket on a ship at sea.
The Falcon 9's first stage came back down to Earth for a landing about 8.5 minutes after liftoff as planned. It touched down on the SpaceX droneship Just Read the Instructions, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
It was the sixth launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description.
The Falcon 9's upper stage, meanwhile, kept hauling the 22 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO). The spacecraft were deployed there on schedule, about 65 minutes after launch.
Starlink launches are hardly a novelty these days; SpaceX has now sent five batches of the internet satellites to orbit this month already.
The company has launched more than 4,850 Starlink craft to LEO in total, according to astrophysicist and satellite tracker Jonathan McDowell. And the number will grow far into the future; SpaceX has approval to deploy 12,000 Starlink satellites and has applied for permission to loft another 30,000.

Audrey McKinven: Don't sweat over mental health '“ get physical and reap the benefit
World Mental Health Day, on Wednesday is an opportunity to talk about mental health and raise awareness of what can be done to look after it.
It is important to highlight the difference between mental health and a mental health condition. Mental health is our ability to enjoy life and cope with its challenges. Our mental health influences how we feel about ourselves and others, and how we respond to the things that happen to us.
Just as physical health can change over time so can our mental health. There are many things that can be done to support good mental health. The New Economic Foundation identifies five tips to improve wellbeing.
Connect – staying in touch with family and friends can help us feel valued, and in turn make us happier and more secure.
Take notice – interact with the world around you. Taking time to be aware of what is going on around you and reflecting on your experiences can help you understand what matters to you. Another way of doing this is to practice mindfulness, a therapeutic technique where you focus your awareness on the present moment.
Keep learning – learning enhances self-esteem and confidence. It can also be a great way to meet new people. Try something new, take up an old hobby or set yourself a challenge that you will enjoy achieving.
Give –giving can be very rewarding and can enhance feelings of self-worth. It may involve doing something nice for a friend or stranger or volunteering your time for a charity.
Be active – being active isn’t just good for our physical health, it’s also proven to have a positive effect on our mental health and wellbeing. Physical activity doesn’t just mean going to the gym, it could include going for a walk or run, doing some gardening or dancing; any movement that raises your heart rate and, preferably, something you enjoy.
These activities help us maintain good mental health and they can also improve mental health conditions, such as depression.
It is estimated that 23 per cent of people living with a diagnosable mental health condition are not receiving the help they need. In some cases, this is because they are not aware that they are living with a mental health condition.
The first thing people living with an undiagnosed mental health condition might notice is a change to their physical health. It may be reoccurring headaches, an upset stomach, or a rapid heart rate. Living with a mental health problem can make it difficult to relax and switch off. Lack of sleep is another common side-effect. This can have a negative impact on how a person feels and how well they cope with everyday stresses.
Physical activity can help relieve stress as it relaxes the muscles and alleviates tension in the body. It also increases the level of endorphins and serotonin, the natural feel-good chemicals in the body, which contribute to wellbeing and happiness. Physical activity can also be a great way to meet people and have fun.
Edinburgh Leisure, a charity dedicated to creating opportunities for local people to live active healthy lives, understands the positive impact physical activity can have and the difference it can make to people living with a mental health condition such as depression, stress or anxiety.
Through funding from Edinburgh’s Health and Social Care Partnership, Edinburgh Leisure delivers a physical activity programme, Healthy Active Minds, which uses physical activity to help improve mental health. Last year, the programme supported 625 people across Edinburgh to improve their mental health through physical activity.
Graeme, 57, said: “Healthy Active Minds has been life-changing and life-enabling – being active has lowered my anxiety levels and lifted my spirits. Meeting new people no longer scares me and I actually look forward to social interaction. What a turnaround.”
Edinburgh Leisure welcomes referrals from any mental health professional working with an individual with a diagnosed mild to moderate mental health condition. Once referred, individuals will meet with a Healthy Active Minds instructor for an initial consultation where goals, motivation and support requirements are discussed to enable them to become physically active. Participants will also receive subsidised access to Edinburgh Leisure’s gym, swim and fitness classes.
Being physically active is one of the best things that can be done for our physical and mental health. So, let’s talk about our mental health and look after it by fitting regular activity into our daily lives and walk, run, dance or swim our way to better health and wellbeing.
For more information on Healthy Active Minds please contact Edinburgh Leisure Active Communities team on 0131 458 2260 or email [email protected]

As freeing as being in the wilderness – hundreds of miles from another soul in the dead of winter – can feel, carelessness can result in a deadly trap.
According to Avalanche Canada statistics, 11 people have died as a result of avalanches in British Columbia since 2016.
While Mother Nature can be unpredictable, back country aficionados can always prepare to give them the best possible chance of a safe return home at the end of their trip.
The first step is education.
Full Throttle Motorsports hosted a free avalanche awareness seminar at their shop on Nov. 8.
Seventy-four snowmobile riders attended the event, which was facilitated by Dave Merritt of Outside Ventures.
The seminar focused on terrain awareness, group decisions and safety gear. It was a solid refresher for those who possess avalanche skills training and an eye opener for those who don’t.
Merritt has spent many years doing mentorships in order to become a professional member of the Avalanche Association and is a strong proponent of safety in the back country.
He says these types of seminars are valuable for anyone. “There’s avalanche terrain within most city limits in British Columbia,” Merritt says. “I live in Prince George and we have avalanche slopes there.”
Many adventurers need to take into account they are putting more lives in danger than their own when taking unnecessary risks. This can include their travelling partners as well as search and rescue teams that get called if the worst occurs.
“If you’re traveling with a group of friends and you know what the risks are, you can have those candid discussions of whether you want to do it or not,” says Merritt.
“If you’re ignorant to what you don’t know or don’t want to learn it, then you’re putting yourself and everybody else at risk.
“We all want to enjoy the back country, we all want to enjoy the outdoors but we need to ensure that we have an understanding of the risks we’re actually taking.”
One of the key benefits from these seminars is they get people thinking and exchanging ideas.
“I had a lot of people come up and talk to me afterwards about potential risks they were taking where they didn’t realize things were risky,” Merritt says
It generated a lot of discussion,” he continues. “There’s a few of us around Western Canada doing these things and that’s what we want, for people to start having those discussions.”
Full Throttle’s owner Brad Dunn is a big advocate for snowmobiling, and is a director for the Wells Snowmobile Club. Avalanche awareness is something very important to him and the company.
His continued support of the sport is one of the reasons he was awarded the BC Snowmobile Federation’s (BCSF’s) Excellence Award for Outstanding Dealership this year. The local company won the award out of 77 nominees, the largest number of submissions in BCSF history, according to the Federation’s website.

Many Americans from the Puritans of the 1600's to the student protesters and educational reformers of the 1960's have believed education to be vitally important in society. It is somewhat surprising, therefore, to realize that historians have made comparatively few studies of education in the United States apart from chapters in general works of social history, quick analyses as part of a call for educational reform, or uncritical studies of particular educational institutions (usually by a faculty member).
This omission is even more glaring in the case of the education of black Americans. 1 While there are very few general or specific studies of black schools, most of the studies that do exist deal primarily with the political actions of white legislatures to segregate and discriminate against black public schools. 2 The main recent social history of black public education and white philanthropic aid to black schools in the South, Henry Allen Bullock, A History of Negro Education in the South ( New York: Praeger Publishers, 1970), deals primarily with the period since 1901.
Subordination or Liberation? explains and describes the development of black private and public, elementary, secondary, normal, and collegiate education in Alabama from emancipation to 1901. A state study is large enough for synthesis and small enough to permit detailed analysis. All public schools are in state systems. Since most graduates of black private colleges before 1915 taught in state schools or followed their professions in the state where they received their education, state studies are important for private schools. Many other social groups such as teachers' associations, professional organizations, churches, and lodges are largely statewide bodies. Many black public schools began as private schools, which philanthropic organizations turned

This is the first Tier List post-Infernity Destruction’s release. It is also the Tier List heading into the upcoming MCS this Saturday.
Infernity Destrction is interesting at first glance because we got a lot of different decks (Infernity , Weather Painter , Simorg and Demise Rituals) iin addition to support for older archetypes (Fur Hire , X-Saber). However, while everyone thought Infernities would be instantly Tier 1 thanks to Infernity Archfiend and Infernity Launcher, turns out to not the case due to the deck’s consistency issue, and if you play the Infernity Inferno skill to help resolve these issues, the deck becomes very slow. Weather Painters are a consistent deck that gets a lot of card advantage but it lacks power plays. In my opinion, the biggest winner of this Box is Darklords because of Simorgh of Darkness. Since the nerfs, Darklords were forced to play the Lightsworn engine. which meant they couldn’t use Cosmic Cyclone, thus making them weak to backrow decks, but Simorgh of Darkness helps with this problem by not only being a big resummonable body, but also providing a way to play through backrow. Darklords have the potential to come back to the Tier List since most other decks have also been nerfed, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a comeback.
Blackwings have been promoted back to Tier 1. In this meta, there are many decent decks and each of those decks have hard match ups, so determining the Tier 1 and 2 decks is not easy at all and depends a lot based on the week. Blackwings could be very solid against High Tiered decks like Witchcrafters or Blue-Eyes but have been plagued with very difficult matchups against control decks, most specifically Elementsabers. At the moment, Elementsabers are in a weird spot in the meta, as matchups against decks like Witchcrafter can be really difficult. As a result, if less players are playing Elementsabers, then it will only help improve Blackwings’ tournament results.
While not as popular in the west, Level Reduction Blackwings is very popular in Japan and showing to be a very good variant. One of the main benefits of Level Reduction is simply the ability to easily play through cards like Witchcrafter Madame Verre and Fiendish Chain. Normally if a Blackwing player does not have Blackbird Close, then Verre constantly negating an already established Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower can be very annoying. However, with Level Reduction you usually have multiple ways to apply pressure. For example, if you have Raikiri and a Blackwing - Harmattan the Dust (which is level 2) in hand against a Verre or Fiendish Chain, you simply can reduce your Raikiri’s level by 2, summon the Harmattan, and use Raikiri’s effect. When they choose to negate, you simply summon Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe, re-summon the Raikiri, and use its effect again. This is just a basic example and there are ways to summon Raikiri 3 times in a turn, which can be very overwhelming for many decks.
It took a week, but Shiranui has finally adapted to the current meta, and started to build their decks around it. The more stable the meta is, the easier it gets for Shiranui to pick their tech cards, to be able to fight against the other top decks. The current lists are runningg Karma Cuts to get rid of problematic monster monsters such as Witchcrafter Madame Verre and Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower permanently. Some of the lists also swapped Floodgate Trap Holes for Paleozoic Canadias. Canadia is way better in the Witchcrafter matchup, since Witchcrafters have an easy way to dodge Floodgate by tagging out, or by summoning Madame Verre on Chain Link 2. As we go into the week of MCS, Shiranui can be a popular pick, since their only hard losing matchup in Dark Magician has started to fall in popularity. A well-teched Shiranui deck can perform well against any other meta deck.
Despite just coming off of a Meta Weekly win, Elementsabers are not really in a good position in the meta, having some very hard matchups against some of the most popular decks. It still has a really good Blackwing matchup so it will still be seen quite often in tournaments.
Gouki is a super consistent deck with access to the best Traps in the game so it deserves a spot on the Tier List. Additionally, the fact that the Gouki monsters search each other really makes this deck favorable in a mid to late game situation, especially when combined with Endless Trap Hell.
Tier 3 is a perfect fit for Ritual Beasts, this deck has some good match ups all around the Tier List in Gouki, Blackwings, and Crystrons. It can also win against Witchcrafters thanks to the Shadow Game skill and backrow like Karma Cut or Floodgate Trap Hole. The biggest problems for this deck are Invoked Neos and Blue-Eyes, RB’s toughest matchups. They can easily stop their combos with Counter Traps and then push for game with their boss monsters. For example, Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon on field alone is enough to stop every possible Ritual Beast play, therefore you must run backrow and/or copies of Herald of the Abyss / Lava Golem to clear the opponent’s field.
Elementsabers has been demoted to Tier 3 due to the lack of good matchups across the board. If you observe the Tier List you will see that Blackwings are the only clear good matchup currently. Witchcrafters can constantly negate your pushes and Invoked Neos can just Karma Cut you to oblivion. Shiranui is not terrible because they don’t main Artifact Lancea anymore but Games 2 and 3 you will likely get Lancea’d. That being said, the deck’s flexibility will always be a strength. It is recommended to main outs to Witchcrafter Madame Verre like Karma Cut and Bad Aim and maybe tech in some cards for Neos like Wall of Disruption. Your games will not be easy but Elementsabers still have the ability to get it done just like we saw in the last Meta Weekly.
Gouki has officially arrived with a couple Top 4 finishes in recent tournaments and a decent showing in the KCGT first stage. At first, this deck was viewed as a meme, yet, Traps seem to have an immense value in the current format. One well timed Bad Aim or Ballista Squad can truly swing the tide and Gouki have the ability to play these types of cards perfectly. The deck has the power to grind things to a halt while also suddenly OTKing out of nowhere. Gouki Twistcobra not only plays around backrow by tributing for cost but also serves as a killing machine in the Damage Step. This deck is scary and cannot be slept on any longer.
Gouki has finally entered the Tier List. Their main strengths lie in their near-endless monster cycling and in their ability to play some of the most powerful spells/traps in the game (such as Ballista Squad, Enemy Controller, Necrovalley, etc.) without really going minus or being slowed down as a result. They can cripple most of the currently Tiered decks, as long as they manage to set up their plays and interruptions in time.
Infernity has so many ways to be playied like with the Infernity Inferno Skill or the Avenger from the Void Skill and it still needs to be determined if any of them will be consistent enought to make it onto the Tier List. The problem compared to TCG Is that in Duel Links we miss Foolish Burial-esque effects like Dark Grepher so we struggle to set up a Turn 1 combo consistently enough. The deck has a lot of potential since it can do cool combos, search powerful Traps, or just OTK. We will see after MCS if someone will come up with a build that’s consistent enough.
Weather Painters are a new control deck from the latest box that is centered around using Continuous Spells and Traps to give its monsters powerful effects. The Weather Thundery Canvas allows you to bounce monsters back to the hand without targeting and The Weather Snowy Canvas lets you search Weather cards. The Weather Painter Snow also searches cards to give the deck more consistency. Non-targeting monster removal in the form of Thundery Canvas will also allow this deck to be able to deal with problematic monsters like Shiranui Sunsaga and Invoked Cocytus. Because this deck can search on either players turn, it can quickly generate card advantage and discard traps like Raigeki Break, Karma Cut, and Ultimate Providence become very effective in this deck. This could potentially struggle against decks that can easily deal with its spell/traps, but its consistency, searching power, and easy access to Thundery Canvas has convinced us to place this in High Potential.
Soon to be known as the best deck, Infernity is the first deck in Duel Links with actual combo deck capability. Currently, the deck is being held back by the fact that people are still trying to play the Infernity Inferno Skill. The deck can easily set up 2-3 searched Traps with multiple Synchros on Turn 1, which no deck right now can beat with a realistic hand. Access to multiple Infernity Launchers lets the deck easily play trough any hard removal trap going 2nd. Field clogging Traps like Paleozoic Canadia and Floodgate Trap Hole are the biggest threat to the deck. Personally, I still have 10+ concept builds that have to be tested and optimized, but I am convinced that Tier 0 potential lies in here somewhere.
With the newest main box comes Weather Painters - a new control deck that generates advantage through its Continuous Spells and Traps. The deck has a lot of potential as a result of its core removal card, The Weather Thundery Canvas, being very easy to access. Weather Painters also pair well with multiple strong tech card choices - such as discard traps because the deck generates so much hand advantage with The Weather Snowy Canvas. The most popular skills with this deck currently are Shadow Game, Balance, Draw Sense: High-Level and Middle Age Mechs (in no particular order), with other variations floating around. Middle Age Mechs is used because it essentially turns The Weather Painter Thunder into more copies of The Weather Painter Snow. Draw Sense: High-Level is generally used to get to Lava Golem. Balance is arguably the most consistent version of the deck, but it’s not able to use Lava Golem, Kiteroid or Psychic Wheeleder as well as the other 3 variants can.
Infernity is one of the new archetypes from new box, and its an OTK deck that has to wait for your second turn to use your Infernity Inferno Skill. It’s kinda similar to Shiranui in the sense that you can make your engine as small as possible. At the moment, your engine is around 9 cards. For the rest of the spots, you need to fill your deck with backrow removal and protection to save you until your second turn. With the Skill, you can send Infernity Archfiend and Infernity Beetle to GY directly and resummon then with Infernity Mirage and Infernity Launcher. Launcher’s second effect can be used multiple times with Archfiend’s search effect and allows you to Synchro Summon so many times in a single turn. This archetype has some potential we will see where it could fit on Tier List, hopefully after the MCS.
Off the Tier List
It’s no secret that HEROs have been struggling for a while now. Similar to Elementsabers the amount of easy matchups has been dwindling while the amount of uphill battles has been rising. HEROs are just not scary anymore and there are not that many Dark Magicians to feed on. While it is possible to top with the deck, the amount of luck required is just too great to justify this deck being Tiered anymore. However, if we receive any future support this deck will be back.

To administer the EDSCLS, states, districts and schools need the support of survey and IT administrators. This webpage provides what survey and IT administrators need to get started (or to update their EDSCLS platform), how IT administrators can navigate technical details, how survey and IT administrators can get assistance, and other related resources, including how you can get more information regarding EDSCLS platform updates and relevant training materials.
Materials to Get Started/Update Your EDSCLS Platform
We recommend that you download and read the User Guide before downloading the platform. The guide includes a section for IT administrators and a section for survey administrators.
IT administrators can now save time when updating the EDSCLS platform without having to redownload it. Simply use the new script designed to expedite the update process. This script can be used to update the VM when using the same database. There is a change in the database from EDSCLS VM 4.8.1 to VM 4.9.1 so a full re-installation will be needed.
If you choose to administer the EDSCLS surveys outside of the EDSCLS platform, you can still run data reports, including scale scores, by importing your EDSCLS survey data into a EDSCLS VM platform or using R Code. Reference these detailed instructions to learn how to do that.
Materials Were Last Updated on January 29, 2024
EDSCLS VM Installation Materials
Feel free to call the EDSCLS Help Desk at 866-730-6735 between 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Eastern Time or email EDSCLS@air.org any time for assistance in:
- navigating the installation instructions in the User Guide,
- clarifying EDSCLS Frequently Asked Questions,
- using the survey administrator dashboard before, during, or after your survey administration,
- asking general survey administration support questions, and
- connecting with other users via the User Information Exchange.
We have staff standing by.
Notes For IT Administrators
- The Virtual Machine is an extremely large, ranging from 6 to 8.2 GB file depending on the update, and depending on your internet connection, could take quite a while to download. Also, you may need to attempt the download more than once.
- Use the 66cb2ed65013f9e9ebc92fc800ad503a-499 hash on the page to confirm the download file.
NCSSLE provides a host of resources that can guide you in administering school climate surveys and implementing school climate improvement plans in your school and district. These resources include:
- The School Climate Survey Webinar Series:
- School Climate Measurement Resources:
- School Climate Survey Compendium:
- The School Climate Improvement Resource Package:
The EDSCLS can accommodate up to 500 concurrent respondents using the minimum requirements as detailed above. Up to 500 additional concurrent respondents can be supported if dual servers are used with the following server settings: 8 vCPU, 16GB Memory, 100GB disk.
If a user wishes to support more than 500 concurrent respondents, multiple copies of the EDSCLS platform can be installed and results from the multiple copies can be combined (see 2.2.11 Exporting and Importing Respondent-Level Survey Results). Due to these load limitations it is recommended that large education agencies (for example, State Education Agencies) install multiple copies of the platform. Large education agencies may also wish to reduce the load on the EDSCLS platform by staggering their survey administration such that a limited number of students attempt to access the platform at once.

(Reuters) – Twitter said on Tuesday it will not recommend Russian government accounts to users as part of a rule change affecting accounts run by states which limit access to the open internet and are engaged in armed interstate conflict.
The social media company also said it would now require the removal of posts depicting prisoners of war posted by government or state-affiliated media accounts. Ukraine’s government has posted content featuring prisoners of war on social media in recent weeks.
Russia has battled big tech companies to control information flows after it invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. The Kremlin calls its actions in Ukraine a “special military operation.” Moscow has throttled access to Twitter by slowing its service and has banned Meta’s Facebook and Instagram.
“When a government blocks or limits access to online services within their state, undercutting the public’s voice and ability to freely access information, but continues to use online services for their own communications, a severe information imbalance is created,” Twitter said in a blog post.
The company said its new measure of not amplifying the accounts would apply whether Twitter itself was blocked or not and that it would first apply the policy to Russian government accounts.
It said under the new rule it would not amplify or recommend Russian government or state affiliated media accounts, including on users’ Home timeline, or the search or explore functions. A spokesperson said this would affect more than 300 Russian government accounts.
The company also said it would require government or state affiliated media accounts to remove any media published that features prisoners of war. It said in cases where there was a “compelling public interest” in accessing the content, such as for evidentiary purposes, it would instead add a warning to the tweets.
During the conflict, Ukrainian government social media accounts have posted videos appearing to feature Russian prisoners of war answering questions or making phone calls home. Asked about these posts on a call with reporters, Twitter’s head of site integrity Yoel Roth said such tweets would be covered by the scope of the new rules but the policy would not be applied retroactively.
“We don’t want Twitter to be used by state actors to infringe on international humanitarian law and, to the best of our ability, we want to disincentivize governments from engaging in this type of behavior,” said Roth, citing the Geneva Convention, which protects prisoners of war against abuses including insults and public curiosity.
Twitter also said it would require the removal of tweets posted by any user with prisoner of war content shared with abusive intent.

My back is hunched, I am bent over, supporting the weight of the man beside me. My right arm is wrapped tightly around his waist, as I pull him close and steady his footing. My eyes are focused on the ground in front of me watching every step, one step at a time.
I had set out with Annie and my oldest son for Annie’s daily hike when I saw a man in the distance, gingerly pulling himself off to the side of the path, his two were dogs nervously pacing around him in circles. I had noticed as he scooted back that he kept his left leg straight.
We approached cautiously as Annie becomes anxious when other dogs are nearby. One of the dogs next to the gentleman began barking loudly causing Annie to join in the alarm. I approached first, standing between my son holding Annie on the leash and the other dog. My previous experiences on the trail have taught me to proceed with caution when dogs are involved.
I was now standing directly across from the older gentleman as he sat upon the ground. The dog closest to him tethered on his leash was still barking in warning. The other dog was unleashed, but was silently watching. As I looked at the man he raised his voice, “I didn’t break my leg, but it’s hurt badly. I can’t walk.”
I took a moment to wrap my mind around what he had just said. “You fell?” I asked. He responded, “Yes, back on the last incline I took the lower path, but there was a patch of ice hidden beneath the snow. It was a sheet of ice, there was nothing I could do.”
Without hesitation, I said, “Let me help you. Can you stand?” I reached my hands toward him, grasping his hands in mine I pulled him to standing, as he winced and cried out in agony. This was not the pain of a bruise or a sprained knee. This was an acute, stabbing pain with the potential to cause him to black out from the intensity and rush of pain surging through his body. He explained, “I believe I passed out when I fell. I found this stick beside me and I used it to leverage myself off the ground and get this far.”
I understood now, this would be difficult. We would have to go extremely slow. I had him place his arm around my shoulders for support. I was taller than him which forced me to bend at the waist, almost parallel to the ground, for him to lean on me. This made it easy for me to fix my eyes on the rocks, snow, ice and uneven terrain before us.
To calm the dogs, I asked my son to go ahead of us and return to the car with Annie. His dog quieted down and stayed close once Annie was out of sight. The dogs could tell their owner was in pain and that they needed to stay close and remain alert. The gentleman and I were alone now and free to focus on the task at hand; getting back to the car.
I took a few steps and the gentleman gasped in torment once more. We stopped, as he breathed through the pain shooting up his body before taking the next step. I would have to let him lead and act as a support only. I watched, felt for his lead and allowed the process to unfold one step at a time.
He asked my name. I shared it along with the history behind my name. My grandmother was a war bride from World War II. She was from Vienna, Austria. Her father Viktor was in a camp in Russia, hence my name Anastacia, which means resurrection.
I did my best to distract the gentleman with stories as we slowly moved down the path. I wanted to distract him from the pain and the distance between us and the parking lot.
Every few steps he would push too hard, reaching too far ahead in his step or misplace his footing and the excruciating burst of pain would take hold of him once more. As an empath, I felt it all. I explained that I understood and that I could feel the pain he was experiencing and how it coursed through his body. I could feel the wave of energy move through his torso and the arm he had draped across me for support. I felt it shoot upward and out through the top of his head with a slight shudder. His response was so sweet, “I’m sorry Anastacia.” he was apologizing for me having to share in his experience.
He had no intention of causing me to suffer in an effort to help him. I expressed that I had learned how to cope with being an empath. I am aware of the energy, but have learned to view it objectively and not take it upon myself as my own emotion and body sensation. Instead I can see it and put a boundary of distance between he and I even though we had indeed become tethered together, bonded by the intensity of the experience at hand. In fact, we were even physically bonded, tied together as I was the support for his left leg and the steadying element as the pain coursed through him.
I commended him for allowing the pain to pass without holding onto it or becoming swallowed up in the overwhelming awareness of his condition. He would experience it, breath through it and begin again, every few steps the process repeated without relenting. One step at time we continued to move forward, despite the wariness and fatigue we were fighting.
I shared with him how my father had taught me that pain was all in the head and nothing more than a mental game. You could shut it off at will, bypass the pain and see it as only energy, a burst of warmth emanating outward. I could see this was true as I witnessed the pain forcing his body to shutter involuntarily, the pulsing had created an actual vibration that emanated outward.
We continued to share stories to keep the awareness of pain or time from enveloping us. He told me the story of his dog Tess, the one who had barked. He explained that she had been a rescue dog from the Humane Society, that she had been abandoned on the streets for several years before being brought in. She was timid and fearful of humans, but aggressive toward other dogs, except for those considered to be a part of the family. Bodi was his other dog, a purebred Border Collie, who remained alert and calm through it all, leading the way ahead.
Tess followed close behind, but her leash kept getting caught on rocks and ice or in the brush. I would make sure the gentleman was balanced, then let go and find Tess and release her from whatever had caught her. She would never make a sound. She would simply lay down where she was and wait silently for me to come back and release her from whatever had tied her in place. It was up to us to keep an awareness of her presence at all times to make sure we didn’t leave her behind.
I could feel how much energy the gentleman was expending and was becoming concerned that he would have the stamina to make it back to the car. He revealed that he was seventy-five years old with a smile and a sideways glance. I knew this was taking everything he had, but he wasn’t giving up and neither was I. We just had to focus on the next step.
In the distance, I could see the flicker of sunlight hitting a car in the parking lot. I was elated we were within visual distance of the end of our journey. This was going to be the hardest part trying to remain calm, focused and patient while knowing the end was within sight. This is when mistakes happen and I couldn’t afford for him to fall again. I kept reminding him to be careful and to take his time. Every few steps we would stop he was beginning to stumble, the sweat was pouring off both of us as his mind began to become aware of how long the struggle had endured. It had taken us nearly an hour to get this far and we weren’t done yet.
Just as we reached his car, parked on the far end of the parking lot he slipped on another patch of ice. I had shifted my weight to open the car door for his dogs to jump in as he stepped on a patch of ice and his feet slipped out from beneath him causing him to slam to the ground once more.
He writhed in pain on the ground, almost beneath his car. I asked, “What can I do? Can I lift you back to your feet?” He responded, “No. Please let me lie here for a bit. I’ll be ready in a moment. Do you have a business card you could give me from your car?” He wanted to distract me for a moment so he could collect himself and regain the remainder of his strength.
As I returned he had gotten himself up to standing. I handed him my card which he glanced at and commented, “A real estate broker?” with surprise. I smiled as I seldom identified myself as a Realtor. I typically said author in response to any question that pertained to my occupation. Or I would express that I was a certified personal trainer to explain why I had so much information about health, wellness and the body in general. I rarely think in terms of titles and typically do not identify myself in such ways. I see myself by the qualities of my character not by positions, titles or occupations.
I collected his backpack and gloves from the ground and placed them in the front seat of his car. I opened the back door and called the dogs to jump into the backseat. I turned again and guided the gentleman to his seat and allowed him to pull his left leg into the car and move it into place and out of the way, so he could position himself to make the drive to the hospital by himself, as he had requested.
He thanked me, telling me I was an angel, conceding that he couldn’t have made it back to the car without me. It had taken us a slow agonizing hour to cover the short distance from where he had fallen back to his car. I believe he wanted my card to have something to hold onto, a name, a face to make the whole experience real; to remind him that someone had indeed stayed with him, encouraged and supported him. That he hadn’t been abandoned and left alone on the side of the path.
My back was sore from the contraction and weight of supporting his body, my arm wrapped around his waist had been tense the entire time for fear of him falling out of my grasp. Only now did I become aware of my own body. I had been so consumed with his suffering and concern for our every step that I hadn’t noticed anything outside of the moment at hand, not my body or the time consumed.
As I drove off I knew it would take time for me to adjust,
to allow him to separate from me, as I had become so bonded and tied to his fate and the outcome of his injury. I kept him in my thoughts the rest of the day, praying that his injury would heal quickly and that the doctors would be guided as they tended to him.
It reminded me
of the beauty of compassion and the many gifts received in giving and stepping up to be present when there is a need. It was my honor to be of service to that gentleman on this day. It was a true blessing for my soul and I rejoiced in the gift of being able to be a true blessing in someone else’s life. It provided an overwhelming sense of abundance and beauty into my life and I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to be of service in such a deep and heartfelt way. One step at a time, I was shown the beauty and gift life is and a true connection with another human being. Thank you.

If your laptop is slow, unresponsive, and slowly becoming unreliable, you may have issues with overheating. Laptop overheating symptoms can vary from poor performance to visual glitches that interfere with the user experience. Aging laptops are prone to overheating due to stress on the internal components. When your laptop overheats, it can cause catastrophic problems that significantly shorten the unit’s longevity.
Laptops use lots of processing power to ensure your favorite games and streaming programs run smoothly. The more you ask your laptop to do, the more computing power it will use, which generates heat. If your laptop’s cooling system isn’t functioning correctly, this heat can cause severe problems with your system.
However, if you address some of the common causes of overheating, you can extend the usable life of your laptop. Check out the following laptop overheating symptoms, along with some tips to improve performance.
1. Old Battery
If you suspect your laptop is beginning to overheat, there’s a good chance your battery is showing some signs of damage. The older batteries get, the less efficient they become at keeping their charge and distributing energy. Old laptop batteries struggle to control energy, which causes them to produce heat, contributing to your overheating problem.
If you notice your battery life is too short, there’s a good chance you need a replacement battery. Leaving your laptop plugged in is a habit that can harm your battery. It increases the amount of heat they produce. Also, leaving your laptop plugged in all the time reduces the number of charging cycles your battery can handle. If your laptop has a replaceable battery, it’s a worthwhile investment to get a few extra years out of your laptop.
2. Loud Fan
If your laptop sounds like a plane taking off, there’s a good chance your fans are plugged. Circulation is essential to prevent your laptop from overheating. The laptop’s fans take heat away from the internal components and push it out of the vents. The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo is an example of a laptop with a custom cooling system. The ZenBook Pro Duo uses a dual-fan setup in combination with six heat pipes to efficiently expel heat from your laptop.
A loud laptop fan is a sign of poor airflow, often caused by a clog. Dust and debris build up over time which reduces your laptop’s ability to stay cool. Using compressed air to blow the blockages clear is a cheap and effective strategy to help your cooling system remain in working condition.
You can also regulate fan noise by using software to control how hard your fan works. Programs such as SpeedFan for Windows will help you manage and slow down your fans when necessary. These programs can also estimate your internal temperature with real-time monitoring. Using software to regulate your fan speed is a quick fix to address noise. However, you must manage the debris and airflow if you want your laptop to stop overheating.
3. Hot to Touch
A laptop that gets hot to the touch quickly becomes uncomfortable to use. When your laptop gets too hot to keep on your lap, it’s a clear sign your unit is overheating. Many times, this overheating is caused by dust and debris clogging your laptop’s cooling system.
If your laptop is too hot to touch, check your fans to ensure that they’re running. Restricted airflow around your CPU and other internal components leaves nowhere for the heat to escape. When your laptop gets this hot, it’s also worth running a virus scan. Sometimes, spyware programs occupy lots of your resources in the background, which can stress your laptop and cause it to run hot.
4. Find a Proper Surface
Even though it’s called a laptop, your lap is rarely the best place to use your computer. Using your laptop on your lap usually blocks the areas of your computer where heat is supposed to exit. When you combine this with an already clogged ventilation system, your laptop gets hotter even faster.
Look for a smooth, hard surface that you can rest your laptop on and allow air to blow out the back. Depending on the location of your vents, it may be worth slightly raising your laptop off the table or investing in a cooling pad.
5. Random Visual Glitches
Another sign of overheating is when your screen randomly flickers or glitches. Whenever your GPU starts overheating, it’s common to expect lines across your screen and other visual glitches. Anytime your laptop is running this hot, you likely have some serious issues that are impacting performance.
When the thermal grease and thermal pads in your laptop deteriorate, they can also cause extreme temperatures that cause visual glitches. Laptops like the ASUS ProArt StudioBook have displays designed for professional use. They use customized cooling systems to enhance performance. Anytime your laptop’s display starts failing due to heat, it’s worth getting your computer inspected.
6. Sudden Crashes
Overheating also commonly causes your laptop to shut down suddenly without explanation. Many laptops are programmed to shut down automatically if they sense any problems with the internal components. When your Central Processing Unit (CPU) runs hot, your device is more likely to shut down randomly. When this happens, you’ll lose all your unsaved data, which is hugely frustrating.
Thermal throttling is a common reason that causes your laptop to slow down and eventually shut down. When your internal components get too hot, thermal throttling engages, causing your CPU to use less processing power. By reducing the power consumption from your CPU, it will generate less heat and begin to cool down.

There are plenty of ways to create the home you have in mind, especially when you consider the wide range of styles. You may want the sophistication of a French Country home, or maybe you want the cozy atmosphere of a Hygge design.
Then again, you may be unsure of what style you want for your home. With such a wide selection of ideas, the sky is the limit when choosing your home design.
Are you ready to change the vibe in your home? Do you need help coming up with ideas for your next home design? Find a little inspiration with these home decor styles.
Bring Your Dream Space To Life With These Home Decor Styles
The French Country design is the perfect combination of traditional and countryside elements. You can create this design using rustic pieces, natural materials, and elegant decor.
With shades ranging from beige to soft pink, it is easy to create the right palette for your bedroom. For style and function, think of antique pieces, such as a vintage bench at the foot of the bed. The cherry on top of this gorgeous design is your French decor.
If you crave home decor styles inspired by a day at the beach, you are sure to love the Southern Coastal design.
Achieving this look is easy with shades of blue and white, rattan accents, and a caged ceiling fan. The best part is adding touches of your personality to your Southern Coastal home. How can you say no to a pineapple light fixture? Pineapple decor is ideal for bringing a little southern charm to a beach-inspired home.
The great thing about the Bohemian style is it can be mixed with other styles. One example is the Western Boho home design.
Imagine a design that allows you to combine your favorite rustic elements with the carefree attitude of the Bohemian style. With the Western Boho design, you can dress up your home in colored patterns, seagrass baskets, cactus accents, and whitewashed panels to create a warm but unique space.
Speaking of mixing home decor styles, Western Coastal is a fun take on rustic and beach-inspired elements. This design may seem like a crazy match, but that is the beauty of it!
It is easier than you think to create the Western Coastal design. Start with neutral shades such as light brown, as this shade works in both Western and Coastal styles. Next, add textures with rattan chairs and wooden tables. When it comes to decor, pieces such as a beige-and-blue floral vase and a tin candle fit both designs.
You may want your home to feel calming and cozy, and the best style for a peaceful space is Hygge.
The idea of Hygge is to feel content while enjoying the little things. A clutter-free space and comfy materials are essential to creating a Hygge home. There is nothing like a fuzzy area rug, lavender candle, and wicker basket to create the warm, happy space you need.
A Mid-Century Modern home is known for its muted tones, vibrant colors, clean lines, and natural materials. A mixture of the past and present, this style creates a spacious feeling while encouraging conversation.
If you are planning to add new pieces to your home for the new season, you may want to refresh your home with Mid-Century Modern elements.
The clean lines of a wooden console table, vibrant shades of vintage botanical wall art, and the natural texture of a woven canister all work together to create a beautiful Mid-Century Modern home.
If you want a design that combines nostalgia with a touch of nature, Cottage Core is just the home design for you. This design is full of vintage elements, as well as textiles such as beautiful fabrics and distressed wood.
Wooden pieces and floral elements are the staples of Cottage Core. To create this cozy but whimsical home design, look for vintage-style floral pillows, round wooden cabinets, and ivy leaves floating shelves.
Whether you want the excitement of Western Boho, the elegance of French Country, or the coziness of Hygge, you can choose from a range of home decor styles. Once you choose your next home design, bring your ideas to life by shopping for the right furniture, accessories, and decorative pieces.

Jameis Winston has thrown a lot more interceptions than any other quarterback due to the fact he entered the NFL in 2015. Marcus Mariota has made 3 of the league’s most feeble begins, by completion percentage, in that span. Each of them ought to be nearing their finish as starters for the teams that produced them the best two picks of the 2015 draft.
Winston threw 5 interceptions (and lost a fumble) on Sunday in the Buccaneers’ 37-26 loss to the Panthers, bringing his profession total to 68 interceptions in 59 begins. Mariota was benched in the Titans’ 16- loss to the Broncos right after finishing seven of his 18 passes (38.9%). Given that the commence of the 2015 season, the NFL has had 15 games with a quarterback finishing 40% of his passes or significantly less. Mariota has 3 of them, per the database at Pro Football Reference.
Mariota and Winston are playing out the fifth-year possibilities on their contracts, producing them eligible for no cost agency right after this season. Nothing at all we saw Sunday offered explanation to think they ought to return in 2020.
Let’s commence there for ESPN’s Week six QB Awards, our Tuesday assessment of highs and lows making use of information culled from ESPN Stats & Details and NFL Subsequent Gen Stats.
On their personal, one particular turnover-filled game and one particular benching would not spur any group to uncover a new quarterback. But the performances of Winston and Mariota had been microcosms of profession-lengthy problems. The pattern has continued into Week six of their fifth seasons.
Winston actually entered Sunday’s game with the NFL’s second-best Total QBR (94.8) against the blitz. We touted him for his newfound calm against the pressure just two weeks ago in the QB Awards column. But he didn’t just slip against the Panthers’ blitz. He crumbled in a way that gave his team no chance to win. Blitzed on a season-high 22 dropbacks Sunday, he threw three interceptions, took three sacks, lost a fumble and completed eight of his 18 attempts.
At times against the Panthers, Winston showed the kind of strong and accurate arm that NFL teams covet. But he has committed at least four turnovers in five games in his career, a completely unacceptable total for a fifth-year starter. No other quarterback has more than two such games IN that span.
Mariota, on the other hand, has wilted in coach Mike Vrabel’s run-first philosophy. He ranks 16th in the NFL in total dropbacks (192), but he has the second-most (46) in third-and-6 or longer. That’s hardly a recipe for success in the passing game, but it’s more than fair to expect a better performance in such conditions.
According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Mariota compiled 20.6% fewer passes than would have been expected considering down, distance, defensive pressure and other factors in Week 6. That’s the worst mark by a quarterback this season and the seventh-lowest since the start of 2016, with a minimum of 15 attempts.
To be clear, the Buccaneers and Titans share some blame for their current predicaments. Winston and Mariota have played under seven offensive coordinators between them, including new hires for both in 2019, and that lack of continuity would stunt the development of most players. But it’s clear that both players are well short of the standard that would prompt smart decision-makers to extend their contracts.
Cousins has been on a tear in the two weeks since I awarded him the title of “least consequential” NFL quarterback. In that span, he has completed 44 of 56 passes for 639 yards, six touchdowns and one interception (and it bounced off his intended receiver). On Sunday, Cousins led the NFL with a 91.4 Total QBR en route to a 38-20 victory over the Eagles.
The passes he completed against the Eagles, including two touchdowns to receiver Stefon Diggs that traveled at least 40 yards past the line of scrimmage, were far from inconsequential. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, he led the league by completing 14.5% of his passes above expectation. In other words, he was connecting on relatively high-difficulty throws for much of the game.

The Vikings have identified a functioning formula for Cousins by acquiring him outdoors of the pocket on play-action passes. He has thrown for at least 150 yards on play-action in every of his previous two games.
Does this imply Cousins has broken via? Or has he basically taken benefit of two defenses — the Eagles’ and Giants’ in Week five — that rank amongst the NFL’s bottom half in defensive QBR? It may well be a whilst just before we uncover out. The Vikings never play a defense at present ranked in the best half of the league in defensive QBR till Week 10 against the Cowboys.
From an work standpoint, I have no doubt that Rosen attempted his hardest in a 17-16 loss to the Redskins. But he appeared to have been swallowed up by a losing atmosphere in quick order, a great deal as he was final season with the Cardinals, just before he was replaced by Ryan Fitzpatrick.
There is no shortage of information to back that up, but here’s one particular element that pops: Rosen’s typical pass arrived at its target eight.9 yards quick of the line to get a initially down, according to NFL Subsequent Gen Stats. Primarily based on investigation from ESPN’s Seth Walder, that is the worst such mark due to the fact the stat was initially tracked through the 2016 season.
To no one’s surprise, the Dolphins gained only 3 initially downs in Rosen’s 30 dropbacks Sunday. Fitzpatrick, by comparison, led the Dolphins to seven passing initially downs in 18 dropbacks.
Darnold let it rip in his return from mononucleosis. He threw nine passes that traveled at least 15 yards previous the line of scrimmage in a 24-22 victory more than the Cowboys and completed seven of them for 240 yards. His 92-yard touchdown pass to receiver Robby Anderson traveled 40 yards in the air, a career high.
The longest TD from scrimmage this season.

All round, Darnold was in exceptional command for a player who just recovered from a overall health crisis. His results was hardly the outcome of breakdowns in the Cowboys’ defense.
According to NFL Subsequent Gen Stats, Darnold threw into tight windows — significantly less than 1 yard among the target receiver and the nearest defender — on 31.three% of his attempts, the second-highest price by a quarterback in Week six. His receivers had been classified as “wide open” — with a defender no closer than three yards from the target — on six.three% of his attempts. Only 3 quarterbacks benefited in Week six from fewer wide-open receivers, and all 3 lost.
