Not long ago Sega unveiled the latest arcade title in their line-up called Dream Raiders. We will be getting some hands-on time with the game in about a month when it makes an appearance at the IAAPA 2012 trade show in Orlando, FL. I wanted to find out more about the game before then and so I got a hold of Patrick Michael, the head of Sega Amusement Europe’s R&D division. He has been extremely busy getting Dream Raiders and some other games ready for the show but he was kind enough to answer some of the questions I had for him about this new game.
Adam Pratt (Arcade Heroes): How long has the Dream Raiders project been in the works?
AP: What were the inspirations for the game? Could you describe the brainstorming process that was behind the development of this title?
PM: We have always been interested in creating a product to bridge the divide between “passive” simulator rides and game experiences. Our goal was to create a “ride” with a casual shooting element that encouraged inexperienced players and gave them a more interactive experience and ultimately delivered a sense of achievement. We wanted to have a wide range of motion experiences that were suitable for all ages and felt that a dream motif was a great way to encompass such a variety of level designs. We wanted the cabinet to be strong link to the theme and brainstormed the idea of it being a “Dream Machine” that transported its occupants into these adventures.
The cabinet development process was very detailed and involved a lot of prototyping. Quite early on in this process we realized that if we wanted more freedom of motion the guns would be need to be attached to the seat and move with the players rather than be fixed to the monitor cabinet. In developing the seat itself we did a lot of experimentation with the positioning of the players centre of gravity and how that affected the sensation of motion. We discovered by simply allowing the players feet to hang naturally rather than supporting them with a foot rest the sensation changed.
We carried out a number of secret site tests quite early on in the development process to look at how players reacted to the cabinet and software. The first test had only a handful of completed levels but gave us a real insight into the more casual audience that we were hoping to attract. Gamewax and Sega staff spent a lot of time watching reactions and analysing players interactions with both the cabinet and software. In a way this is my favourite part of the development process where players first interact in a real world environment. It is easy in this industry to have preconceived ideas about what players want from a game only to have them destroyed at an initial R & D site test. Thankfully the early reactions were really good.
AP: What is the storyline behind the game and the motivation for what the player will do?
PM: We did have a pretty complex back story but that has slowly been stripped during development and testing as we really did not want to lose the momentum of the game by using cut scenes and other narrative devices. We have tried to make it a casual experience that allows the player to make their own interpretation. You begin the game in a futuristic laboratory seated inside the “Dream Machine” with a cybernetic host inviting you to simply select the dream adventure of your choice. You are then transported into a strange world with no real explanation. Each level features a very different theme and mode of transport but they all have crystals to collect and enemies to destroy!
AP: Are there any new features that sets this game apart from other on-rails light-gun shooters?
PM: I would describe it as an evolution rather than a revolution. We have tried to create a cost effective cabinet that still delivers a “wow factor” and a different game experience.
AP: How big of a team has been involved in the creation of the game? Has it all been produced in house in the UK?
PM: In total across hardware and software around 30 people have been working on the project in the U.K. We have of course had a great amount of support from our colleagues in Sega Japan R & D with the development.
AP: With dreams being the inspiration, are there any elements from real dreams from a team member being integrated into the experience?
I would say there are hints of a few real dreams hidden away in the game along with nods to some films and games that we love. Just don’t ask me where the idea for the 50 foot garden gnomes came from!
AP: What was the greatest challenge the team faced in creating the game?
PM: I would have to say the biggest challenge in this kind of development is delivering a unified experience, bringing the cabinet, visuals, audio, motion & wind together create a great game.
AP: How has the game tested so far? How have player reactions been to it?
PM: On the whole really positive. It is always incredibly satisfying to see non-traditional players of all ages play your game and we have seen a lot of repeat play from people wanting to see all the game has to offer.
AP: This has been marketed differently than other Sega arcade titles in recent memory, with “SpyCam” sneak peeks and a dedicated Facebook page to reach out to fans. Why the change in direction and has it been effective?
PM: This was really born out of our new online/social direction. I am really keen to get players involved with our games as early as possible. It is so important to remember that without the players we are nothing!
AP: Will there be a non-motion version available at some point as well?
PM: No plans at present. Personally I do feel that the motion is too integral to the experience to remove it.
AP: What is the target price for Dream Raiders?
PM: At the moment TBC but I expect it to be competitively priced next to similar pieces.
AP: The video seemed to present one particular enemy type, how many different kinds of enemies are there? Are there bosses?
PM: The robots are a recurring theme throughout that came from the original back story but the enemies are linked to the level themes and are pretty varied. Each level features a “boss” at its end.
AP: Are there any secrets players will want to seek out?
PM: My lips are sealed!
AP: With various options in hardware to pick from, why was Ringwide selected as the unit to power the game?
PM: Primarily this decision was based on cost. In the current economic climate we need to deliver cost effective products that will maximize an operators return on investment. Ringwide has been designed by Sega Japan to deliver a robust, reliable system with a long lifecycle for video products whilst meeting the all-important price point that the market demands. Obviously given a more buoyant economic situation we would have loved to use a cutting edge system to deliver a more detailed graphical experience but we are all very pleased with the results.
AP: With the 55″ screen, what resolution does the game run at?
The game is running at 720p. With a higher specification game board we would have liked this to be a true 1080p title.
AP: Could you describe how the wind effects work in step with the game as it plays?
We are using an axial flow fan sited in the control panel area to try to mimic the acceleration in airflow that the player would feel based on their perceived velocity and what is happening around them. We originally sited the fans above the monitor but due to the motion we could not direct the airflow satisfactorily towards the player in the moving seat. It is a nice addition to the gameplay experience.
AP: Is there any sort of “deleted content” that had been planned for the game but was ultimately cut?
PM: Sadly as with all games development there are always elements that end up on the “cutting room” floor. There are always things that we would love to do given more time/budget not only in the game software but also in the cabinet design and peripherals. We are very pleased with the results that we have achieved but we always wish for more!
That’s all for now, I really want to thank Mr. Michael for taking time out of his busy schedule to answer my questions and provide some new media of the game, it’s greatly appreciated! We will have more about Dream Raiderssoon, including video showing the game in motion and of course the game will be at IAAPA in a few short weeks were we will get some hands-on time with it as well. Thanks for reading!

Like Family: Growing Up in Other People's Houses, A Memoir. Paula McLain. Little, Brown. $23.95. 256 pp.
It's one thing to hear about the disintegration of the family and quite another to read the true story of what happens to one family of children once they are abandoned by their mother. The tragic mistakes of the foster-care system often make the headlines, but what about the small heartbreaks and the simple pain of abandonment that aren't exactly newsworthy but comprise the reality of so many children?
Paula McLain's story of her ordeals in the foster-care system is told with a dispassionate grace that puts a human face, actually three human faces, on the alarming statistics.
McLain is the middle of three girls whose mother drives off into the sunset with a boyfriend after their father goes to prison for a botched robbery. The girls--aged 6, 4 and 3 -- get shuttled between family members until finally a foster home is found for them.
What they receive in one foster home after another are the basics -- food, shelter and education. But that's where the care seems to end time and again. Of course, the sexual molestation that at least two of the girls endure is so mundane as to be part and parcel of the landscape.
The last foster home where the girls wind up belongs to the Lindberghs, who have decided to become foster parents in order to provide sisters for their only child. Needless to say, this is a poor excuse to bring children into your home. And yet this couple offers a better life for the girls than anyone before or after.
By this time, the girls are 10, 8 and 7. The father, Bud Lindbergh, actually horses around with them and treats them like daughters while they are young, but the mother never opens her heart to them. When they are introduced to acquaintances, she is quick to point out that they are not her real children.
As the girls become teenagers, the Lindberghs continue to provide for them, while the girls continue to ache for something like love. Hilde, the mother, not only cannot show them any affection. She is sometimes physically and often psychologically abusive.
Finally, the split between the foster girls and their foster family becomes sealed when they falsely accuse the eldest girl of theft. When the Lindberghs take a "family" vacation without Paula and her sisters, a sense of freedom pervades the house.
"Without Bud and Hilde, the house expanded like a lung, rising weightless around us. We drank lemonade so thick with sugar the granules rained toward the bottom of the jug. We stood with the refrigerator door open, took thirty minute showers, let the dogs on the carpet ... I strung a dream in which I was a whole family, all by myself: the mother and the father and the baby playing with its toes."
McLain's book is likened to The Liar's Club, a misleading comparison. In spite of McLain's credentials as a poet, Like Family does not have (nor does it really need) the lyrical power of Karr's memoir.
However, this book has a power of its own -- the raw force of a memorable and well-told story of children who overcome the injustice of their abandoned state and grow up to fashion some sort of reasonable adulthood for themselves. You're likely to have a lump in your throat by the end of this gutsy and honest tale.

A list of all the recipes Cynthia D. has tested.
Perhaps the simplest and most sophisticated dinner party precursor ever. Just make the savory shortbread dough, freeze, slice, and bake. You’re welcome.
True story: This luscious little number inspired one toddler to dip and dunk his way through an entire bag of baby carrots. An entire bag. Behold, the power of the dipper!
In this inspired Italian creation, traditional lasagna noodles are supplanted by polenta. Trust us, you’ll feel no guilt nor regret over forsaking custom.
Mark Scarbrough and Bruce Weinstein had hoped for a quiet, rustic dinner in the French countryside. Thanks to this storied liqueur, what they ended up with was far, far more memorable.
“Little explosions of flavor” is how the author describes these luscious little orbs of yellow, orange, or red goodness. We don’t disagree. Neither will you.
Stunning and sophisticated, this cocktail relies on rhubarb for tartness, orange for intrigue, sugar for sweetness, and tequila for an afternoon nap.

A traditional torchiere floor lamp design from the Kathy Ireland brand.
Faux marble accents. Resin construction.
Bronze finish base and column. Metal construction. Alabaster glass shade.
Our decorating style is Italianate.
Beautiful design. Fits well with my living room furniture.
Close match to lamp I have.
Right size. Right style. Good price.
They're perfectly suitable for both my living and dining rooms. 150 watts? I hope they have dimmers.
Great looking light, price, and Lamps Plus is a great service oriented company.
does it have an on/off switch or just foot dimmer switch?
BEST ANSWER: Just the foot dimmer which can be slid all the way to off. Works great!
It says it has a foot dimmer switch and yet a reviewer said he wished it had a dimmer switch. I’m confused?
BEST ANSWER: Hi - I can confirm this includes a foot dimmer switch for easy lighting control.
I always check for a dimmer switch and prefer one on the pole vs. the foot dimmer.
what is the diameter of the pole?
BEST ANSWER: The pole has an estimated width of 1 3/4" - 2".
Seems like a question Lamps Plus should be able to answer. I gave the lamp away before moving from one state to another, but at a guess I'd estimate the diameter of the pole at about 1-½ inches.
BEST ANSWER: This lamp weighs 20 lbs.
I really like the classic look of this lamp. It has a vintage look to it, with simple lines that keep the lamp from being too busy. I like that the switch is located mid way on the pole so that it is easy to reach . . . not high up on the lamp. The color of the top glass bowl helps the lamp give off a nice warm illumination. I only wish that the lamp's switch was a dimmer so I did not have to buy a floor dimmer switch to make the lamp more versatile.
I purchased the sister lamp to this one on sale (mine had a fabric shade). The lamp looks nice enough although I noticed the long shaft seemed crooked. I thought it was the floor until I noticed that where the long lamp shaft screws into the base it did not stand firm. The whole lamp wables where it connects to the base. I tried to screw the shaft into the base further, but it won't tighten. So, the lamp just leans over a bit - depending on which way you want to push it. I would have sent it back, but by the time I paid the shipping charge twice, what's the point. It'll just have to do until I can find something better.
Assembly was easy. Lamp is sturdy and well made. Nice design, fit and function for bedroom. I especially like the alabaster amber-toned glass, it gives warmth to the room. I also like the on/off dimmer switch on the pole (wish they made more like this) as opposed to a floor/foot switch) and better than the 3 way switch up top. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Kathy Ireland line, simple but elegant and a wide range of pricing for everyone.
Lamp arrived in good shape and went together easily. Seems very sturdy! We are happy with it's looks and operation along with the unbeatable price!
Beautiful, well made, easy to assemble and a great price. What more can I say?
Really nice light, with a good dimmer. Quality made. Love it in our room.
I love the lamp!!! I want another one!!????
My floor lamp I purchased is just perfect in my living room as I have the right lighting in that area.
Thank you. I really liked this floor lamp. It goes well with a similar lamp. Thanks again.
Such good quality and product I love it ????
Very good quality and perfect in my space. Beautiful.
Lamps are perfect. 1 had to be shipped and arrived timely and in great condition.
This item shipped perfectly and was easy to assemble. I loved the colors and it seems like it could work with many colors. The light brightens up my room and I can turn it down easily.
Well worth the money, great purchase.
I purchased two of the lamps, they were well packed and easy to assemble. Very attractive and a great compliment to my family room placed on both sides of the couch. The fact that the lighting is adjustable allowing for just a hint of light or full lighting for reading is a definite plus.
After assembly, lamp leans to one side. Do not purchase. Other reviews stated the same problem. Leveling pads just make it look bad at base.
Hi Danny G., sorry to hear that your floor lamp leans to one side even when using the leveling pads. Our customer service team would be happy to provide some troubleshooting tips in order for you to enjoy your lamp. Please reach out to them via phone, email, or chat. Thank you.
Beautiful but I expected it to last longer than a year.
I love this lamp. It’s beautiful and sturdy. However I am very disappointed that after 14 months the very first time the light bulb went out, it also blew the dimmer switch. When I put a new bulb in, not only does it not dim but I can every turn it on or off. I expected better quality/longevity for the price.
Hi Carolynn P., so sorry to hear that the bulb went out on your floor lamp and caused some issues with the dimmer. This could be due to the type or wattage of bulb being used, or the electrical issues with the outlet the lamp is connected to. Our customer service team would be happy to look into this for you and assist with troubleshooting, so please reach out to them via phone, email, or chat. Thank you.
Unless you're house is a mini-Trump Tower, this is one [ugly] light. Garish, cheap glass, lousy illumination.
Kathy, Kathy, Kathy... You ought to be ashamed of yourself, putting your name on a light like this. DOWN TO THE BASEMENT IT GOES!

Starting a new business takes courage, capital, passion, and persistence, even in Austin, Texas, a city known for its culture and lifestyle appeal.
But having the right business and economic environment – issues like good small business job growth, median income and unemployment rates – matters, too.
New businesses need to have access to a highly trained workforce, and that’s one of Austin’s greatest assets. In January, Popular Mechanics recognized Austin as one of the country’s best start up places, partly because of its abundance of tech talent. The Central Texas town is home to the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business and local programming schools and bootcamps, like MakerSquare.
In addition, IBM, Texas Instruments, and other hardware companies are based in Austin. These are just a few of the reasons why Google Fiber, a superfast broadband internet and cable television service, expanded to Austin two years ago.
Austin also has a reasonable cost of living and low unemployment. According to a Kiplinger Magazine, the city has a 4.2 percent unemployment rate, and the cost of living is about 5 percent below the U.S. average. Overall, Kiplinger ranks Austin as the fifth best place in the U.S. to start a business.
Entrepreneurs will also be pleased to know they can find mentors in Austin to help them navigate the tricky challenges and opportunities that come with starting a business. Austin technology start-ups have access to Capital Factory, a business incubator and shared workspace, and the Techstars business accelerator. The city also hosts the Austin Startup Games, a friendly business competition and fundraiser for local charities.
Last, and perhaps most importantly, the availability of investment in Austin is significant. Recently, Investopedia named Austin as one of the five of hottest startup cities for 2015, noting it received about $620 million worth of funding in 2014, a 40 percent increase from the previous year.

Pima County Office of Emergency Management and the Pima County Sheriff.
NOTE: Weather is unpredictable, so floods are too. We will occasionally be wrong, but that does not mean that the safety messages should be ignored. It is your responsibility to use sound judgment in and around flood waters. Please read the Disclaimer tab below for a more detailed explanation.
The following messages are examples of what you can expect to receive when the District observes flow at the stream gage for this area. Actual messages may vary slightly depending on conditions. For each example message we provide the stream gage discharge at which the message is expected to be sent and an explanation of the purpose of the message and actions you should take when you receive that message.
Current stream flow data can be obtained on the ALERT page for Gage 2123 (Google Chrome recommended, may not work with Internet Explorer).
per second) Flooded homes possible, especially near Craycroft Road. Be prepared to evacuate or shelter in place. If emergency responders are present, follow their instructions. If you are experiencing flooding and feel like you are in danger call 911. Homes may start to flood at around 30,000 cfs. Flow may still be rising, putting more homes at risk. Pay attention for future alerts and be prepared to take emergency action. Make sure your flood preparedness and evacuation supplies are handy.

Flood waters on Tanque Verde Creek can arrive quickly, with little warning. So it is extremely important that you plan ahead and take appropriate safety precautions. General flood safety information and ideas can be found on our Be Flood Safe web page.
Tanque Verde Creek breaks-out on the right overbank onto Woodland Road at 13,000-15,000 cfs. There is an ALERT system trigger for this discharge.
Based on modeling, Tanque Verde Creek breaks-out of the main channel at Tanque Verde Loop Road between 14,000-16,000 cfs.
Based on modeling, Tanque Verde Creek breaks-out of the main channel at Houghton Road between 12,000-14,000 cfs.
The southern part of 49ers subdivision is subject to overbank flooding from Tanque Verde Creek at around 14,000-16,000 cfs.
Hazardous conditions exist at the dip crossings of Tanque Verde Creek at Wentworth Road.
NOTE: The alerts provided err on the side of caution. It is possible that you may receive a warning and the events described do not occur. This is, in part, because floods in Pima County can develop so quickly that we have to anticipate possible events early in order to give the public reasonable time to react to the potential threat. In addition, there are many factors that affect the extent of flooding that are unpredictable. Flood damage may be lower or higher than what we expect. The District strives to provide the best possible information based upon the best available data and is not liable for errors. No message can guarantee your safety.
We will occasionally be wrong, but that does not mean that the safety messages should be ignored. It is your responsibility to use sound judgment in and around flood waters.

As some of you may know, Google Chrome has put some severe limitation on Greasemonkey scripts.
Without require, I can't find a way to include the jQuery library in Greasemonkey script under Google Chrome.
Does anybody have some advice in this matter?
From "User Script Tip: Using jQuery - Erik Vold's Blog"
// @description  This userscript is meant to be an example on how to use jQuery in a userscript on Google Chrome.
I have written a few functions based on the Erik Vold's script to help run me run functions, code and other scripts in a document. You can use them to load jQuery into the page and then run code under the global window scope.
// @description    An example, adding a border to a post on Stack Overflow.
You can click here to install it, if you trust that I'm not trying to trick you into installing something malicious and that nobody has edited my post to point to something else. Reload the page and you should see a border around my post.
Loads the script at url into the document. Optionally, callbacks may be provided for onLoad and onError.
Inserts a function or string of code into the document and executes it. The functions are converted to source code before being inserted, so they lose their current scope/closures and are run underneath the global window scope.
A shortcut; this loads a script from url, then inserts and executes functionOrCode if successful.
But, For cross-browser scripts, why not take advantage of a nice, fast, local copy of jQuery, when you can?
The following works as a Chrome userscript and a Greasemonkey script, and it uses the nice local @require copy of jQuery, if the platform supports it.
// How far may comments be indented?
// How many pixels of indentation per level?
Also, you could pack your script with jQuery to Chrome extension. See Google Chrome's Content Scripts.
Chrome extensions, unlike Greasemonkey scripts, can auto-update itself.
Easier solution: cut+paste the contents of jquery.min.js into the top of your user script. Done.
I found various problems with the recommended answers. The addJQuery() solution works on most pages but has bugs on many. If you run into issues just copy+paste the jquery contents into your script.
EDIT: DRATS! After testing it appears this code does not work since Google Chrome runs userscripts/extensions in a separate scope/process from the actual webpage. You can download the jQuery code using an XmlhttpRequest and then Eval it, but you have to host the code on a server that allows Cross-Origin Resource Sharing using the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header. Sadly NONE of the current CDNs with jQuery support this.
Perfect extension to embed jQuery into Chrome Console as simple as you can imagine. This extension also indocates if jQuery has been already embeded into page.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged jquery google-chrome greasemonkey require userscripts or ask your own question.
Why doesn't jQuery work in Chrome user scripts (Greasemonkey)?
GM_getValue is not defined (in injected code)?
Any hosted versions of jQuery that have the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' header set?
How can I get my cross-domain Greasemonkey script to work in Chrome, even though it requires jQuery and Greasemonkey API functions?

A $7 million federal grant will be used to rebuild the an international bridge and make repairs on the track that runs north to near Coleman.
A $7 million federal grant will be used to rebuild the Presidio-Ojinaga International Rail Bridge and make repairs on the track that runs north to near Coleman, a news release stated.
The Texas Department of Transportation was awarded the grant as part of a public-private partnership to replace the bridge, which was closed in 2008 after a fire, and reconstruct 72 miles of track on the state-owned South Orient Rail Line.
The grant, announced Thursday, Aug. 3, is being hailed as a critical investment in the West Texas oil and gas industry by Texas Transportation Commission Chairman Tryon Lewis.
“The South Orient Railroad has become an increasingly important freight line for the agriculture and oil and gas industries in West Texas ... the improvements ... will allow enhanced freight opportunities for communities in Texas and between Texas and Mexico, with greater efficiency and safety,” Lewis said.
The South Orient Rail Line is a 391-mile line running from Presidio through San Angelo to just south of Coleman.
“The Presidio bridge is a critical project to increase jobs and investment in the Permian Basin and Texas’ oil and gas industry,” said Rep. Drew Darby, Chairman of the House Energy Resources Committee.
391 — miles the South Orient Rail Line runs from Presidio to south of Coleman.
2008 — year Presidio-Ojinaga bridge closed after being damaged by fire, blocking one of seven rail gateways between the U.S. and Mexico.
72 — miles of track, bridge and draining improvement funded from the border to Alpine.
16.2 — amount of money - in millions - needed to complete the public-private rehabilitation of the South Orient Rail Line.

text: The JES10-5A2 antibody binds specifically to human IL-13, an immunoregulatory cytokine produced by activated Th0, Th1, and Th2 lymphocytes. IL-13 is a nonglycosylated protein with a molecular weight of 12 kDa. The IL-13 gene is located in the same region as the genes encoding IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, and GM-CSF. IL-13 shares 30% amino acid sequence homology with IL-4 and can induce similar processes. IL-13 has a diverse range of biological effects including suppression of macrophage cytotoxic activity, up-regulation of IL-1RA expression, suppression of proinflammatory cytokine secretion (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-8 ) and prolonging survival of human monocytes. IL-13 is produced by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, but it is expressed in its membrane-bound form primarily on CD4+ T cells.

With only months remaining before Americans can start buying insurance through their State’s insurance exchanges, it is important to get familiar with the vast variances of insurers between states. Depending on your state of residence, your policy choices could be limited to current and dominant plans. States like California, Colorado and Maryland have attracted an assortment of insurers, but states like Maine, for example, could be restricted to a mere two insurance companies to choose from.
What insurers can you expect to find? Insurers already active in the market, that have established relationships with local hospitals, physician groups, and state regulators, are the most likely to be available to you within the exchanges. “What we’re seeing is a reflection of the market that already exists,” said Timothy S. Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University in Virginia and close follower of health care law.
The concept behind the new exchanges is to allow consumers more control, and greater clarity, in making their choices about health insurance. For the first time, millions of Americans who face a poverty level income will qualify for government subsidies to offset the cost of their premiums. Additionally, insurers selling plans on the exchange must cover a basic set of benefits and offer coverage to consumers with preexisting medical conditions. Currently, there are no plans that cover as many benefits as will be included in all plans next year.
With new and existing insurers working harder to provide more appealing plans, competition will certainly follow. As consumers are required to purchase health insurance in 2014, the competition between insurers should generate lower prices to entice new members. Despite the competition between insurers, one major goal is in the works: increasing access to affordable health care. This change will directly impact many of our clients who have been denied access to treatment or access to health benefits, simply because insurers have been permitted to turn away the sick.

Today in the world, we all are on the journey of shifting from desktop to smartphone. The web applications are migrated to smartphone applications, or we can say are replacing into Mobile Applications and having a quality Internet Access on. Mobile applications are moderately coming to be a part of human life, and having a growing and increasing impact on both society as well as on business. Companies are developing Mobile Applications according to increasing demands and earning in both aspects in terms of fame such as Brand Recognizations as well as in terms of money too. As a society or peeps around are making their life easy going and better than before by using their Mobile Apps and having a good impact on their life which never occurred and it is endless, unstoppable which is good aspects of both.
Mobile apps are playing a vital part in the industry, for example, there are several services identified which earlier looks very tough to introduce but it has to be in existence in future like Blockchain App Development, Wearable App Development, Medical like Health/Fitness App Development, Artificial Intelligence, Internet Of Things, and Virtual Reality.
Mobile Applications are software or programming applications considered to keep running on Phone/smartphones, tablets and other devices like smartphones which are portable. Mobile apps are regularly accessible through application stores which are owned by the developers or company which have developed.
The idea of the app is to build/create a successful mobile application, the main thing developer should consider or cleared in his mind that your app is being developed for resolving a problem and on demand or need to fulfill. So, feature your app like you do have own problem to be resolved by this app, keep this in mind. Without a plan/idea to make available in the market your application, it is very difficult to establish it in the market. So fully decided idea should be in mind from the beginning of app design to launching it. Identifying the Target consumers/customers, an app should take place, it will enhance the successful branding of an app. What developer is developing should be in the criteria which should be decided before only that Application should be supportable at mentioned platforms. Some essential keys need to be considered for selecting mobile application development which should cover support like device support, performance, and looking features. The app market is boosting up like never before it had.
Designing a mobile app can be considered one of the essential and the key factor for having success for an app in the market economy. Mobile App Developer should focus more on the UI design, multi-touching motions for touch-enabled devices and consider platform design standards as well. The significance of the UI design for an app is like it plays a crucial role in the successful design of an app. Designing an app for mobile app development is becoming demandingly popular and growing very fast as it creates an instant/quick impact on the mind of the customers while ensuring usability of an app and ease in access of an app.
Developing a prototype/Structure, the process of turning the idea into some architecture of an application with some basic functionality defining some features. A prototype makes it simply easier to sell the idea to potential buyers who are interested and can see the benefits instead of just visualizing or reading a product description document or some written document, simple is that structure helps a lot to make easy understanding and having an initial look of product at early stage/phase to buying industry. The primary benefit is that it is helpful in attracting investors and working with manufacturers.
Selecting the Approach for Mobile Application Development is a secondary thing while developing the mobile app. The Mobile Application Development Company provides different platforms – Native App Development, Hybrid App Development.
Native apps are developed platform specific and require expertise along with knowledge in a particular or specific platform. Native apps are costly and time consuming for developing and delivering the highest user experience.
Testing and eliminating the bugs is the least we can say for development, but it is not last it still needs maintenance and updations again and again. A testing app on different platforms on the devices which eliminate bugs. Quality Assurance looked out in the phase of having better functionality and behavior of the application.
Everything needs a plan so as, deploying a Mobile App needs a plan, there are two types from which one can deploy the app to the web server (API) into a production environment that is scalable or deploying to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. It needs to be scheduled and controlled according to the surroundings or environment by looking at all the movement of releases to test. It ensures the honor of the environment is protected and that the correct components are released.
This is a 3D Mobile Application Development which a Mobile Application Developers follows as casually for every Mobile Application Development.

This site recently fell victim to a hack, whereby someone managed to inject some malicious code which went on to mess with large parts of my wordpress installation. The code served to redirect visitors to sites that looked innocuous enough, but contained malware.
Thankfully, I caught it very fast and the malware was pretty out of date, so my computer identified it immediately, quarantined it and then trashed it.
Unfortunately, it took me a long time to get rid of the infection. I spent all of last night working on the site, trying to figure out where the remaining parts of the malware were.
Eventually, the only solution that provided me with some confidence that the site was clean was to roll back everything to the way the site was over a week ago, including the database.
How Can You Tell You’ve Been Hacked?
If you’ve been hacked, either your website has been defaced, or more likely repurposed to serve someone else’s goals, and it will be pretty obvious that this has happened.
In my case it was the unwanted redirect – my homepage would appear very briefly and then a sequence of redirects would lead people to another site that tried to use a couple of old exploits to put malware on the computer.
In other cases, a hack might be less obvious. In this case the hacker is trying to keep the compromised site alive and ignorant of the problem for as long as possible.
They do this by either burying the altered content somewhere you won’t find it, or by using code to exclude you, search engines and indexes for the compromised content. When you log in, everything seems fine. When Google indexes your site, it looks normal. When one of your users visits the site, it suddenly looks very different.
Buried content can use your website to push another website up the google rankings by polluting your content with links to an unrelated URL. This means the other site benefits from your search engine reputation, but you don’t realize you’re being used in this way.
How Does A Hack Work?
The WordPress installation is so huge there are almost limitless places for malignant code to hide. Typically, however, code hides in a few favourite places because that’s where it’s easiest to put it.
The code will be obfuscated, which means it’s been made unreadable so you can’t figure out what it does.
These instructions are instructing PHP to fetch and execute a PHP file from elsewhere on your site. That file will contain much more obfuscated code that will then seek to compromise your system further. The gibberish after “include” or “require” is a way of expressing characters using escape codes that makes them hard to read. You can de-obfuscate them with a PHP de-obfuscator such as unphp.net to see what files they point to in your system. Often the PHP they’re including is hidden in a file that’s masquerading as an image.
There are files on your server called “.htaccess”, and these contain rules that are applied by the web server when it’s serving up your website. These rules include useful things like rewrite rules that make the URLs of your articles look neat and tidy, or access rules that control access to directories with passwords.
Unfortunately, they can also contain rules that redirect certain visitors to others sites, and you the administrator will be none the wiser if the hacker has carefully excluded you (or perhaps all administrators) from the rule.
.htaccess files are a favourite target for hackers.
Most of your wordpress blog exists as database entries.
A website hack often compromises the database because then, even if you are careful enough to clean all of your php files, when the compromised code is run from the database, your entire site is recompromised.
Virus is the appropriate term for this kind of hack, because if you don’t eradicate every last trace of it, it comes back.
In this case, template entires in the database are often targeted as these are “EVAL”ed, which means they are executed as code, often with administrator access.
If someone compromises your database, they own your site.
I spent the better part of 2 hours erasing bits of virus here and there where I found it. Then I realized that when I checked my site by loading the front page, the bits I’d deleted reappeared.
That’s when I realized the hack was more serious than a bit of script to redirect visitors away. The code was designed to reinstall any bit of itself I deleted as soon as any part of it was run again.
An HTML file appeared in my home directory with an obscure name, containing the password to my database in clear text – clearly the database was compromised also.
I downloaded the database to my harddisk and started looking through it in a text browser, and quickly came to the conclusion that I could never be sure I’d rooted out every last part of the hack, and I would always be at risk of it coming back.
I couldn’t install any new plugins because any attempt to go to the administrator panel redirected me to some fake blog about travel insurance that tried (and failed) to install a virus on my computer.
So I logged into my hosting provider control panel and rolled back all my files and my database 10 days. Then I cleared my browser cache and related cookies. I lost almost 2 weeks of content, but my website was suddenly back up and running.
I then disabled and deleted any plugins that weren’t essential, changed my admin and my database passwords, installed both WordFence and Sucuri and took a local backup of my entire site.
I went to bed at 2am, frustrated and angry at the crazy loss of time.
Make sure your hosting provider takes regular backups of your database and files, and that you can roll your website back to a previous backup with ease.
If for some reason they can’t or won’t do that, find a way to take a local back up of your own website and database and start doing it regularly.
Pick one of the security plugins (or more) and install it, to improve the chances of catching anyh infection early. The earlier to notice you’ve been compromised, the less damage you’ll do to your visitors and to your reputation.
Make sure the wordpress files have appropriate permissions (655, for example) to ensure no-one can write to them. Make sure any files with configuration data (passwords or logins) cannot be viewed, downloaded or modified by outsiders.
Make sure all your passwords are strong. Make sure you understand what a strong password is. For example, T&M0ThY is not a strong password, but vantagepoint4412giftedmouse is a strong password. Most advice on passwords is wrong, so read up a little on what a strong password really looks like before picking a word with a number tacked onto the end.
There are multiple points of entry to your website – the database, wordpress vulnerabilities, plugin vulnerabilities, your ftp server, your web hosting provider access… and I’m only naming the obvious ones. Each of these has a password. They should all be different, and they should all be impossible to guess. If your blog is a bit like a job, having strong passwords is part of that job.
Since you can never be 100% safe, you should keep an eye out. The plugins above will help, but you should never leave your website unattended for a week at a time. You should be taking a look at the front page, preferably from an unknown IP address, every once in a while, just to see what it looks like from the outside. If a popup you didn’t install happens, or it reidrects to another website, or there’s content you don’t recognize, you’ve been hacked. Deal with it quickly.

It is 2039 and you are all roughly the age your professor was in 2019 (😱💀😩). Hardware and software have both changed so much in the past 20 years that while many websites from 2010s still exist, they no longer work on modern machines.
What site would be most vital to preserve to help future students, scholars, or the general public understand the internet (or the broader culture) of the teens? Why is this site so important?
What would the scope of preservation be for your chosen website? What technologies are involved? What surrounding materials (linked sites, embeddings, etc.) would also need to be preserved in order for your chosen site to make sense?
What technologies will you need for preservation? Will you require operational software and hardware from the early 2000s, or will you be able to emulate those computing environments on newer hardware?
How would you need to present the archived version of your chosen website in order for people to understand its content, but also its modes of engagement? Would simply presenting the material on the site be sufficient, or are there modes of interaction that would also need to be preserved, ported, or simulated?
What context will you need to provide for those interacting with your archive in order for them to understand the site you chose and why?

Starting out as a lock and hardware company, Switzerland-based USM – founded in 1885 by Ulrich Schaerer in Münsingen, thus the name – built a new factory and office in 1961, which led to the transformation of its business. To outfit the new space, USM CEO Paul Schaerer and architect Fritz Haller created a modular furniture collection based on the steel construction system used for the building. Precision-crafted and able to accommodate the spatial demands of a growing business, the USM Haller Collection (1961) soon became the company’s number-one line. Constructed of steel and built to last for generations, pieces bought 50 years ago can be paired with those purchased today, and you can continue to add others as needs change. Made in Switzerland.

The looming fight over one of the nation’s oldest firearms preemption laws has taken on national importance thanks to reports in at least two popular online “news and views” websites, and it might be a signal for traditionally lethargic gun owners to get active in state and local politics.
Tuesday’s primary election results in Washington State have signaled what veteran Seattle P-I.com columnist and blogger Joel Connelly called a “blue wave” that spells trouble for Evergreen State Republicans. If his analysis is accurate, it also means trouble for state gun owners who were once able to boast a high level of activism, not to mention genuine “common sense” gun laws that held criminals responsible for crimes, not guns or the people who legally owned them. They defeated anti-gun Initiative 676 in 1997 by a whopping 70-percent vote turnout.
However, in recent years that has been changing, thanks to deep pockets Seattle-area elitists who have weaponized their wealth to erode the gun rights of honest citizens, according to Second Amendment activists. Many of them will gather this weekend in Puyallup for the monthly Washington Arms Collectors gun show, perhaps to discuss what can be done to fight back.
There are immediate concerns, including lawsuits against the cities of Seattle and Edmonds, both of which have recently adopted local gun control ordinances that are likely illegal under preemption. Even Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat acknowledged in a July 27 column that Seattle’s ordinance is “almost certainly illegal.” The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have taken both cities to court. Likewise, SAF founder Alan Gottlieb, acting as a private citizen, and the NRA have filed separate challenges to initiative 1639, the latest gun control proposal that strips young adults of their right to own a modern sporting rifle, and mandates waiting periods, registration and safe storage, while classifying popular .22-caliber rifles as “assault rifles,” critics assert.
“The Washington State Legislature enacted a preemptive ban on local jurisdictions from making laws that might limit the sale or possession of firearms in our state.
If Democrats gain more ground in the Washington Legislature come November, it could portend a serious run at repealing state preemption in January. It is a law that has worked well for 35 years and prevented local governments from regressing to the time when gun owners faced a patchwork quilt of often confusing and even conflicting gun regulations. Preemption, which brought uniformity to gun laws from border to border, sensibly solved that, say preemption defenders.
With Town Hall’s attention to this looming conflict, it sends a message to rights activists in other states to pay attention because what happens in Washington could be coming to their states.
Evergreen State voters largely sat out Tuesday’s primary, and the result was a bad news day for conservatives and gun owners. If they learn from their lethargy by November, and return those important ballots – which do not even require a stamp, so there is really no excuse for not voting – gun owners just might pull this one out of the fire, provided apathy doesn’t get the better of them.

The Trump administration has abruptly halted work on a highly regarded program to help physicians, families, and others separate effective “evidence-based” treatments for substance abuse and behavioral health problems from worthless interventions.
The program, called the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices, was launched in 1997 and is run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Its website lists 453 programs in behavioral health—aimed at everything from addiction and parenting to HIV prevention, teen depression, and suicide-hotline training—that have been shown, by rigorous outcomes measures, to be effective and not quackery. The most recent were added last September.
The administration said last month that it had advised agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to avoid using seven words—including “evidence-based,” “science-based,” “fetus,” and “transgender”—in budget documents and to instead use language that wouldn’t antagonize members of Congress.
But critics alarmed by the SAMHSA decision said it suggests that what they described as the administration’s skepticism about scientific evidence has now been extended.
Throckmorton said his interest in the field grew from his realization that “change therapy”—to alter people’s sexual orientation—has no scientific basis.

Daniel Clowes’ comic book inspired the film, and graphics take centre stage in the collection. Enid’s ‘Raptor’ t-shirt gets a nod in an appliquéd motif. An ice-cream cone makes a witty placement print on t-shirts, and appears embroidered onto candy-coloured knitwear. And a cartoon ghost floats by, as a patch, and as a repeat print on cotton mussola shirts, crêpe de chine peplum tops, and shirtwaist dresses.
Elsewhere cotton and lurex knits in yellow, lilac and blue have something of the synthetic beauty of small-town America, as does a jacquard Jensen calls Twist – perhaps in reference to Enid’s interest in sixties dance routines. But this isn’t the time for all-out glamour. The designer is more interested in the tomboyish daywear that the characters slum around in – crisp shirts, cotton pants – a well as skirts and tops that would have been perfect for Enid’s so-called ‘little old lady phase’: printed shirts with frill sleeves, gathered-waist skirts, jacquard skirts with patches, and oversized dresses that would be perfect for the Prom – except that you totally hate the Prom, naturally.

Interference Archive and Families for Safe Streets (FSS) are excited to collaborate on an upcoming propaganda party to create materials for the World Day of Remembrance, commemorating lives lost in traffic crashes across New York City. Join us on Sunday, September 16th from 2-5pm at Interference Archive (314 7th Street, Brooklyn NY 11225) to make posters, memorial banners, buttons, and more. FSS is comprised of a group of individuals who have lost loved ones or have been injured in traffic crashes. Their mission is to channel grief into action and through grassroots campaigns, help realize a city where pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles safely co-exist.
What is a propaganda party? It’s where we invite organizations, activists, designers, and folks like you to come together, hang out, meet each other, and make and distribute stickers, posters, buttons, and more. At this event we’ll be collectively printing graphic material to spread the word about the work and values of FSS — both for you to take back to your community to share, and also for FSS to use in their current organizing.
Why do we use the word “propaganda”? “Propaganda,” from the same root as “propagate,” refers to information that is shared in support of a cause. In modern times, the word propaganda has been weighted with negative connotations; we aim to reclaim the word. Our daily lives are saturated with supposedly “neutral” material that implicitly supports existing power structures. We use the word propaganda because we have no desire to feign neutrality.
Learn more about the work of Families for Safe Streets online and on facebook.
This event is part of a project that is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).


text: Thyroid has become a common disease now-a-days. It is caused due to increase in the level of thyroxine that is produced by endocrine gland. It depicts deficiency of iodine in our body due to which our throat swells. If thyroxine is produced excessively then a patient grows fretful, feel angry,perspires excessively and underweight.Contrary to it, the patient feels lumber pain and becomes overweight due to lack of thyroxine production in the body. We should include raw fruits and vegetables in our daily diet along with morning walk and exercises in daily life. Kamalgatta, Singhada (water chestnut),makhane (dry fruit) and natural eatables should be part of our daily meal. Grind coriander leaves alone on Sil using Batta and eat it when your stomach is empty in the morning for regulating thyroxine in our body.

Security is based on three characteristics: prevention, protection and detection. Grsecurity is a patch for Linux kernel that allows you to increase each of these points.
This howto was performed on a Debian Lenny system. Thus some tools are Debian specific. However, tasks can be performed with other distro specific tools or even with universal tools (make).
Everything will done with root privileges. However, you can perform them with a limited account thanks to sudo and fake-kpkg tools.
Now, the environment is ready. Let's go hardening!
Now the patch is applied and the source of the kernel was modified. Let's configure the kernel to enable Grsecurity.
In this example, we will configure the kernel using a console menu (make menuconfig). This is why we installed the libncurses5-dev package. However, you can configure in pure console mode (make config), or in GUI mode (make xconfig).
Grsecurity has predefined levels: low, medium, high. It can also be configured in custom level where you choose to enable or not option by option. See http://www.grsecurity.net/confighelp.php/ for more info on each option. In this HowTo, we will configure Grsecurity in High level.
Now, we will enable Grsecurity in the menu.
Go to Security options > Grsecurity > tick Grsecurity. Then, you can go to Security Level and tick High.
During the installation, an initrd image will be generated. This may take a while depending on your CPU power and RAM availability! You may also check that the new kernel image is really a kernel !
NB: unless you are using high grsecurity level or custom level, you will have a vulnerable kernel. Indeed, you are only getting userland ASLR protection in a medium mode.
I tried the grsecurity package on a Lenny.
However the configuration of Grsecurity is not in high-mode.
Don't forget that in low or medium mode, you only have userland ASLR.
If you are using Lenny or Sid (unstable), you can find a package for it to be installed instead of compiling the Kernel by hand.

The Two Orbs of Humanity | Fourth Dimension Inc.
The popular conceptions of “spiritual” East and the “Materialistic” West, stated in dogmatic exclusive terms, are a half-truth and a prototype. The West has its periods of rich spiritual flowerings, like for example the era of Christian Mysticism with its great mystics like St. John of the Cross, Meister Echart, St. Teresa of Avila. Similarly East has its materialistic and sensuous tendencies like for example Kama Sutra, philosophy of Carvaka. However, when we examine the history of East and West, we will see that in the East most of the best minds gravitated towards an inward looking religion, philosophy and spirituality and in the West towards an externalized science, technology and organization. This indicates two distinct tendencies or two orbs of human consciousness with complementing temperament and genius. Both are needed for the integral perfection of human life. This article is a message of Sri Aurobindo to the West, sent on15th August 1949, which is his birthday.
Interestingly we would like to inform our readers that, Sri Aurobindo gave the logo to the Institute of Chartered Accountant of India, which was adopted by the council of the institute on 15th August 1949. What a coincidence!
I have been asked to send on this occasion of the fifteenth August a message to the West, but what I have to say might be delivered equally as a message to the East. It has been customary to dwell on the division and difference between these two sections of the human family and even oppose them to each other; but, for myself I would rather be disposed to dwell on oneness and unity than on division and difference. East and West have the same human nature, a common human destiny, the same aspiration after a greater perfection, the same seeking after something higher than itself, something towards which inwardly and even outwardly we move. There has been a tendency in some minds to dwell on the spirituality or mysticism of the East and the materialism of the West; but the West has had no less than the East its spiritual seekings and, though not in such profusion, its saints and sages and mystics, the East has had its materialistic tendencies, its material splendours, its similar or identical dealings with life and Matter and the world in which we live. East and West have always met and mixed more or less closely, they have powerfully influenced each other and at the present day are under an increasing compulsion of Nature and Fate to do so more than ever before.
There is a common hope, a common destiny, both spiritual and material, for which both are needed as co-workers. It is no longer towards division and difference that we should turn our minds, but on unity, union, even oneness necessary for the pursuit and realisation of a common ideal, the destined goal, the fulfilment towards which Nature in her beginning obscurely set out and must in an increasing light of knowledge replacing her first ignorance constantly persevere.
But what shall be that ideal and that goal? That depends on our conception of the realities of life and the supreme Reality.
Here we have to take into account that there has been, not any absolute difference but an increasing divergence between the tendencies of the East and the West. The highest truth is truth of the Spirit; a Spirit supreme above the world and yet immanent in the world and in all that exists, sustaining and leading all towards whatever is the aim and goal and the fulfilment of Nature since her obscure inconscient beginnings through the growth of consciousness is the one aspect of existence which gives a clue to the secret of our being and a meaning to the world. The East has always and increasingly put the highest emphasis on the supreme truth of the Spirit; it has, even in its extreme philosophies, put the world away as an illusion and regarded the Spirit as the sole reality. The West has concentrated more and more increasingly on the world, on the dealings of mind and life with our material existence, on our mastery over it, on the perfection of mind and life and some fulfilment of the human being here: latterly this has gone so far as the denial of the Spirit and even the enthronement of Matter as the sole reality. Spiritual perfection as the sole ideal on one side, on the other, the perfectibility of the race, the perfect society, a perfect development of the human mind and life and man’s material existence have become the largest dream of the future. Yet both are truths and can be regarded as part of the intention of the Spirit in world-nature; they are not incompatible with each other: rather their divergence has to be healed and both have to be included and reconciled in our view of the future.
The Science of the West has discovered evolution as the secret of life and its process in this material world; but it has laid more stress on the growth of form and species than on the growth of consciousness: even, consciousness has been regarded as an incident and not the whole secret of the meaning of the evolution. An evolution has been admitted by certain minds in the East, certain philosophies and Scriptures, but there its sense has been the growth of the soul through developing or successive forms and many lives of the individual to its own highest reality. For if there is a conscious being in the form, that being can hardly be a temporary phenomenon of consciousness; it must be a soul fulfilling itself and this fulfilment can only take place if there is a return of the soul to earth in many successive lives, in many successive bodies.
The process of evolution has been the development from and in inconscient Matter of a subconscient and then a conscious Life, of conscious mind first in animal life and then fully in conscious and thinking man, the highest present achievement of evolutionary Nature. The achievement of mental being is at present her highest and tends to be regarded as her final work; but it is possible to conceive a still further step of the evolution: Nature may have in view beyond the imperfect mind of man a consciousness that passes out of the mind’s ignorance and possesses truth as its inherent right and nature. There is a truth-consciousness as it is called in the Veda, a supermind, as I have termed it, possessing Knowledge, not having to seek after it and constantly miss it. In one of the Upanishads a being of knowledge is stated to be the next step above the mental being; into that the soul has to rise and through it to attain the perfect bliss of spiritual existence. If that could be achieved as the next evolutionary step of Nature here, then she would be fulfilled and we could conceive of the perfection of life even here, its attainment of a full spiritual living even in this body or it may be in a perfected body. We could even speak of a divine life on earth; our human dream of perfectibility would be accomplished and at the same time the aspiration to a heaven on earth common to several religions and spiritual seers and thinkers.
The ascent of the human soul to the supreme Spirit is that soul’s highest aim and necessity, for that is the supreme reality; but there can be too the descent of the Spirit and its powers into the world and that would justify the existence of the material world also, give a meaning, a divine purpose to the creation and solve its riddle. East and West could be reconciled in the pursuit of the highest and largest ideal, Spirit embrace Matter and Matter find its own true reality and the hidden Reality in all things in the Spirit.
