title: Enigmamachines

text:
Early on in the scholarships programme, we attended a CPD event hosted by the scholarships team in Birmingham. One of the highlights of the day was making an enigma machine out of a pringles tube.
Once I arrived in my first placement school, one of the first things I looked for was an opportunity to do the same with some students.
The school I was working in, Thurston Community College in Suffolk, runs a lunchtime club for gifted and talented maths students every week, alternating between KS3 and KS4. Following discussions with my colleagues in the maths department, we agreed this was the ideal place to give enigma machines a go.
I visited each of the clubs two weeks before we were due to make the machines, firstly to prime them to bring in a pringles tube for their next session, and secondly to talk about enigma, Bletchley Park, and ciphers in general.
What was really surprising was the amount many of the students already knew. Many had been to Bletchley Park, and knew a lot of the information we found out on the Scholars’ super visit in November, such as the way that weather reports from the North Atlantic were sometimes used to crack the codes.
Two weeks later, everyone arrived with their pringles tube, and we set to work making our enigma machines. They seemed to really enjoy the practical aspect of making something physical, but it was when we started to discuss the way the machines worked that things got really interesting!
We used their school initials – TCC – as the key in the machine, and we worked through a simple encryption before explaining how to work ͞backwards͟ from an encoded message. We also went through some of the more advanced ways they could adapt their machines, and they all took away the rest of the enigma kit to carry on with at home.
Overall the students (and the two teachers) had a great time doing something a bit different. One of the really positive things is that they have gone away with something tangible which they can adapt and make more advanced themselves. We also discussed how if they agreed the parameters between them (e.g. the key, the rotors, the plugboard combinations), they could communicate with each other using their enigma machines.
It was a really fun thing to be involved with as a teacher as the students clearly got so much out of it. It would also be great to be able to use it to link in with other subject areas such as computer science and history. It’s an activity with a huge amount of potential so now I am about to start at my second placement school, I definitely hope I get the chance to repeat the experience there!

My husband and I have always been movie junkies, so it is no surprise that our daughters’ favorite night of the week is family movie night. Every so often I like to mix things up and make family movie night extra special by eating on the floor, having a special treat or playing a game. In celebration of The Secret Life of Pets on Blu-Ray/DVD, I created a special themed treat — a Puppy Chow Chex Mix Recipe. It may look like a dog treat, but I promise it is a sweet treat not to be shared with your pup.

Puppy Chow Chex Mix Recipe
My kids thought I was hilarious when I handed them ramekin bowls filled with what looked like dog treats. “Silly mom, is this for Bear and Bella.” I had to reassure them multiple times before they would try my special treat, but once they tried it — they couldn’t stop snacking. This party mix is people food, but it sure is a cute way to celebrate a puppy party or The Secret Life of Pets.
- 7 cups Rice Chex Cereal
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Scooby-Doo! Baked Graham Cracker Sticks
Melt chocolate and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute and stir. Heat again at 50% power for 30 seconds and stir again (repeat until smooth).
Put Chex into a large bowl and pour chocolate and peanut butter mix over Chex. Gently fold in chocolate until fully coated.
Put powdered sugar and cocoa into a large plastic bag, shake bag to mix well.
Add chocolate cereal, seal bag closed and then shake, shake, shake!
Let mixture cool. When you are ready to serve add in the Scooby Snacks. (I add them in last and on top so they don’t get covered too.)
Enjoy the Puppy Chow Chex Mix Recipe with your family and The Secret Life of Pets!
For even more The Secret Life of Pets fun, check out the online activities, more video clips, art work, local events and more on the official website.
I am pretty sure this is the face my dogs wanted to give me when we wouldn’t share the Puppy Chow Chex Mix Recipe with them. But remember, no chocolate for dogs. Sorry pups!

"This all happened 40 years ago this year, so we felt obliged to acknowledge and celebrate this marker in time."
Beasts Of Bourbon, or The Beasts Be Suburban, will perform two very special shows in Melbourne and Sydney this August to celebrate 40 years of the mighty Beasts Of Bourbon.
Celebrating the good old days of rock and roll, Tex Perkins, Kim Salmon (guitar, banjo, vocals), Charlie Owen (guitar, banjo, organ), bassist Boris Sujdovic and drummer James Baker are heading for the road.
“With respect, this isn’t the Beasts of Bourbon,” the band said upon announcing their 2018 album, Still Here. “It would need to have (Spencer) Jonesy on every track to be that! But loudly and proudly this is: The Beasts Still Here.”
These upcoming shows at Sydney’s Factory Theatre and Melbourne’s Croxton Bandroom have a similar mindset behind them. “Obviously, our fallen comrade Spencer Jones will not be with us, but long time Beast Charlie Owen will help us chase that feeling one more time,” Tex Perkins wrote in a statement. Tickets are on sale now.
You can read his full statement below.
“40 years ago, I was a skinny 18 year old kid living in Darlinghurst in Sydney having the time of his life - playing gigs, taking and drinking everything within arm’s reach!
Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter
“Constantly meeting and bonding with people in other bands who would turn out to be lifelong friends.
“When my band up and left me in the dead of night by the side of the road with a month long residency, it was those friends that were there to help me pick things up and start again.
“Spencer Jones and Boris Sujdovic were there when we decided to call it the Beasts of Bourbon.
“James Baker, who would occasionally feed me, soon found his way to his rightful place at the drum kit.
“Kim Salmon, friend and mentor, and singer of my favourite band in the world (The Scientists) completed the early ‘classic line-up’.
“At first, we played a few songs of mine and a lot of covers. Alice Cooper, The Stooges, The New York Dolls and Creedence were among the go to songs we all knew well but never had the chance to play live before.
“It was a free for all, fuck it, let it fly kind of thing!
“A few months later we spent 6 hours in a studio and recorded our first album The Axeman’s Jazz.
“As I said this all happened 40 years ago this year, so we felt obliged to acknowledge and celebrate this marker in time.
“Obviously, our fallen comrade Spencer Jones will not be with us, but long time Beast Charlie Owen will help us chase that feeling one more time.
“We hope y’all can join us for some dirty ol time rock n roll played by sweet hearted old punks from the swamps of Surry Hills.”

title: 50642 coa upholds denial of stepmothers adoption petition

text:
As a subscriber you can listen to articles at work, in the car, or while you work out. Subscribe NowA Hendricks County stepmother cannot adopt her husband’s son because the child’s mother was justified in her failure to regularly communicate with the child for several years, the Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled.
Stepmother J.P. is married to Co.P., the father of C.P., who received sole custody of the child due to mother M.W.’s drug use. J.P. petitioned to adopt C.P. in May 2018, arguing M.W.’s consent was not necessary under Indiana Code sections 31-19-9-8(a)(1), (2) and (11).
But Co.P. did consent to the adoption and told the Hendricks Superior Court that M.W. had not made efforts to arrange parenting time since January 2016. But M.W. did ask the court to grant her parenting time in February 2018, and during the adoption proceedings she told the judge she was off drugs, had another son and wanted “the chance to be in (C.P.’s) life again.” When asked why she did not have contact with C.P., M.W. said she “wanted to get things right.”
The trial court then denied J.P.’s adoption petition, agreeing with M.W. that it was in C.P.’s best interest that she not have contact with him while she resolved her substance abuse and criminal issues. Thus, the court held, the mother had justifiable cause not to significantly communicate with C.P.
J.P. appealed in In Re the Adoption of C.P., Minor Child J.P. v. M.W., 18A-AD-2947, arguing again that M.W.’s consent wasn’t required because her lack of communication wasn’t justified. J.P. further argued that she was the only mother C.P. had known, as he was only 1-year-old when he was removed from M.W.’s care.
But “(t)he trial court specifically found that Biological Mother’s testimony was convincing, that she had filed a request for parenting time prior to the filing of the petition for adoption, the parent-child relationship between Biological Mother and Child can be reestablished, and it is not in Child’s best interests that the adoption be granted,” Judge Elaine Brown wrote, upholding the trial court’s ruling.
“The trial judge is in the best position to judge the facts, and we will not reweigh evidence or assess the credibility of the witnesses,” Brown wrote. “We cannot say under these circumstances that Stepmother has met her burden to overcome the presumption the trial court’s decision is correct or that the evidence leads to but one conclusion and the trial court reached the opposite conclusion.”

title: Rationalization of the electromagnetic equations

text:
The symbols which appear in physical equations may be interpreted as denoting either physical quantities or the numerical measures of these quantities if the units in terms of which the measures are expressed belong to a coherent measurement system, but not otherwise. Because coherent systems are generally used, this property is frequently taken for granted. However, if the rationalization of the electromagnetic equations is regarded as resulting from changes in the specifications of units, the rational system is noncoherent when the nonrational system is coherent and vice versa. If it is regarded as resulting from changes in the definitions of physical quantities, both systems will be coherent if one of them is coherent. For this reason the I.U.P.A.P. considers that rationalization should be regarded as resulting from changes in the definitions of quantities. This report determines sufficient conditions for the development of coherent systems from quantity equations, describes the Heaviside and the Fessenden types of rationalization, and develops several coherent measurement systems in terms of physical quantities.

What is Logging in Node.js?
Logging helps developers know what it is that their code is actually doing, and can help developers save hours of debugging work. One of the key purposes of logging is to save information about each flow or runtime. This is the same information that a developer uses to understand their application.
Best NodeJS Logging Libraries
Winston is designed to be a simple and universal logging library with support for multiple transports. A transport is essentially a storage device for your logs. Each Winston logger can have multiple transports configured at different priority levels.
Bunyan is a simple and fast JSON logging library for node.js services. Just like Winston, it also supports logging into multiple transport options. Other features include a neat-printing CLI for logs, a log filter, serializers for rendering objects, snooping system, etc.
Pino is a super fast, all-natural JSON logger. There are claims that it is 5x faster than other Node.js logging libraries besides providing standard features such as the ability to choose a storage medium, log levels, and formatting capabilities.
Morgan is an HTTP request logger middleware for node.js implemented using Express & Node.js. It can be used to log requests, errors, and more to the console.
A logging library that is hackable and configurable to the core, signale can be used for logging purposes, status reporting, etc.
Tracer is a powerful and customizable logging library for node.js. It lets you print log messages with a timestamp, file name, method name, line number, path or call stack, customize output format with micro-template and timestamp format, support user-defined logging levels, etc.

Are moles ruining your yard? Call Tri-State Wildlife Management (TSWM) today to set up an inspection! (859) 635-0037.
Moles become quite a nuisance when they take up residence inyour yard. Although you will never see a mole since they live exclusively underground, they very literally leave paths of destruction as evidence of their presence. They can dig at a rate of 18 feet per hour, so it doesn’t take long for them to noticeably damage your lawn. Moles have runways and burrows deep beneath the surface of your lawn, but they also have surface tunnels, which are shallow, underground paths used for hunting worms, insects, and grubs. Moles create ridges in your yard when tunneling just below the surface. You may also spot mole mounds, which are accumulated dirt from tunneling. Moles do more damage than create unsightly ridges and mole mounds in your yard; they also kills grass and plants. When moles dig surface tunnels, it causes the roots to disengage from the surrounding soil. In the winter, the roots freeze from lack of insulation from the soil, killing the grass or plants. In the warmer months, the roots lose their access to the water from the soil. If not corrected, the the affected grass/plants die.
To take the guess work out of mole management, a trapping program should be implemented to ensure the violating mole can no longer be a nuisance. There are many home remedies that claim to rid your lawn or garden of moles, but there are no repellents or frightening devices that are proven effective (Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management). If the mole isn’t removed, problems will continue to arise. Trapping is the most effective and safest method of mole control, therefore the method used by Tri-State Wildlife Management. TSWM is fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind all our work. Let us take care of your mole problem for you!

title: The influence of cultural trends on fashion in film and tv

text:
Fashion has always been a mirror reflecting the diverse cultures and customs of society. From traditional garments to modern streetwear, cultural influences continuously shape the fashion landscape. Whether it’s the vibrant colors of Indian textiles or the minimalist aesthetic of Japanese design, designers draw inspiration from a myriad of cultural elements to create unique and expressive collections.
In recent years, there has been a notable shift towards promoting diversity and inclusivity in the fashion industry. Brands are embracing cultural diversity by featuring models from various ethnic backgrounds and collaborating with artisans from different regions. This cultural fusion not only adds richness to the fashion world but also opens up opportunities for cross-cultural exchange and understanding.
Impact of Cultural Influences
When examining the influence of culture on fashion, it is evident that various societal factors play a crucial role in shaping trends. The values, beliefs, traditions, and customs of different cultures inherently impact the way individuals choose to present themselves through clothing. This influence can be seen not only in the designs and styles of garments, but also in the colors, patterns, and materials chosen by designers.
Moreover, the increasing interconnectedness of the world through globalization has led to a rich tapestry of cultural influences in the fashion industry. Designers are constantly drawing inspiration from diverse cultural backgrounds, incorporating elements from different traditions and regions into their collections. This blend of cultural influences has resulted in a more inclusive and diverse fashion landscape, reflecting the interconnectedness of our modern society.
Fashion Evolution in Film and TV
The power of film and television to influence fashion trends cannot be underestimated. Throughout history, iconic characters on screen have sparked style revolutions, setting new standards and redefining what is considered fashionable. From Audrey Hepburn’s chic elegance in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” to Carrie Bradshaw’s eclectic and daring combinations in “Sex and the City,” the impact of on-screen fashion evolution has been undeniable.
Moreover, the ability of costume designers to create memorable and culturally significant looks for characters has played a crucial role in shaping fashion trends. Whether it’s the bohemian style of the 1970s immortalized by characters like Penny Lane in “Almost Famous” or the preppy aesthetic popularized by characters in teen dramas like “Gossip Girl,” fashion in film and TV continues to be a reflection of societal values and trends.
How do cultural trends influence fashion in film and TV?
Cultural trends play a significant role in shaping the fashion choices of characters in film and TV. Designers and stylists often draw inspiration from current social and political movements to create authentic and relatable looks for characters.
What impact do cultural influences have on the evolution of fashion in film and TV?
Cultural influences can lead to the evolution of fashion in film and TV by reflecting the changing attitudes and values of society. Fashion choices in media often mirror the trends and styles of the time, providing a visual representation of cultural shifts.
How has fashion evolved in film and TV over the years?
Fashion in film and TV has evolved dramatically over the years, reflecting the changing tastes and preferences of audiences. From the glamorous Hollywood costumes of the golden age to the edgy streetwear of contemporary shows, fashion in media continues to evolve with the times.

07/13/2023 / By News Editors
It’s been almost two months since the Texas House of Representatives and its leftist “impeachment managers” targeted the state’s Attorney General Ken Paxton, in a scheme that even makes President Donald Trump’s first foray into the same experience seem positively transparent by comparison.
(Article by Raheem J. Kassam republished from TheNationalPulse.com)
Now, a full 53 days later, there are still no answers as to why and on what grounds the Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan has been dragging one of the most popular America First figures in the country through this process. Or perhaps Paxton’s “America First” credentials are, in fact, the answer here. Maybe you can find out by giving the Speaker’s office a call.
Because up to this point, even Paxton’s legal counsel is struggling to get answers. Answers which, by the way, are required under Texas law. People have a right to know what they’re being charged with, and any evidence related to those charges. But again, two months on, there hasn’t been so much as some vaguely drafted articles of impeachment which include catch-all phraseology such as “disregard of official duty,” and the ever-green “obstruction of justice.”
In this case, however, it appears to be the prosecutors obstructing justice and the pursuit of it. Paxton’s lawyer Tony Buzbee blasted them on the matter this very week, in a lengthy statement:
“At the direction of Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, and with the guidance of lawyers from the Obama Administration Biden Justice Department, the House voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton after what can only be described as a secretive and now discredited sham investigation. Now the House Managers appointed by Phelan, including Andrew Murr, Briscoe Cain, and Cody Vasut, continue to disregard individual rights and due process guaranteed by the United States and the Texas Constitution by withholding basic information they are legally required to disclose. We have demanded this information to which Attorney General Ken Paxton is entitled. In every court in the country this type of information would be freely exchanged by prosecutors, and we have demanded that it be produced. The House has ignored our demands and the Attorney General’s constitutional rights.
“Due to these refusals, the House Mangers have abandoned the rule of law and have demonstrated nothing but contempt and disrespect for the Texas Senate as they openly mock the process and rules adopted by the upper chamber.
“The Texas Senate has clearly stated that it intends this process to be fair. However, because of the intransigence of Phelan’s House Managers and their refusal to disclose documents as required by law, it is imperative that the Senate take immediate action to force the House Managers to follow the law. The House voted to impeach Attorney General Paxton without any evidence and now they are desperate to manufacture new charges; apparently they want to saddle the Senate with weeks of testimony over baseless allegations. While the House is trying to cover their tracks, I hope the Senate will embrace transparency and order Phelan’s disciples to follow the law and disclose required information to the defense.
“That’s why I have asked Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to enter a strict and comprehensive scheduling order to set pretrial deadlines that will govern this proceeding. Phelan’s Managers are openly mocking the intent of the Texas Senate to have a fair and open proceeding, and are clearly withholding information that would routinely be disclosed. It is critical the Senate enforce our constitutional guardrails to prevent further institutional damage inflicted by the Texas House.”
And Buzbee is right. How any voters let alone MAGA Republicans in Texas can stand by and watch such a sham of a process take place is beyond me. And how Phelan and his cadre can so readily flout the law by failing to provide any evidence for their claims should be a matter for investigation and impeachment itself.
There is one person who could set this process right: Senate President and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, who can use Senate rules to force mandatory disclosure of the evidence that uniparty Republicans and their left-wing impeachment managers are resisting. Maybe you could let him know via his office, or his Facebook page, or his Instagram, or his Twitter. Maybe all of them?
Because what Dade Phelan and the gang will be hoping is that MAGA Republicans across Texas and around the country are pre-occupied with the Republican primaries, the looming election, and the Groundhog Day-style indictments of President Donald J. Trump. But I think the America First base is more than capable of walking and chewing gum. And it’s about time to show it.

RabbitMQ allows having a queue of tasks that summons worker to process audio samples and output their generated fingerprints, for them to be indexed for further comparison.
FP Worker #
FingerPrinting workers are atomic entities that only exist to process audio and turn it into fingerprints. Those fingerprints are then sent to the database.
Storing files is a tricky tasks, especially at scale. This is why we use an object storage to store pictures, resources, and tracks. Minio has the advantage of being open source and fully self hosted.
Elastic Search #
ES allows us to implement an efficient, fast, and robust search system. The user can search for other users, tracks, releases, resources, or resource packs.
Leveraging ES and filebeat, we can have indexed logs from the API, and search them efficiently whenever needed, this allows for great alanytics of the application, we can know exactly how it runs and what happened when it doesn not run properly.
Filebeat retrieves logfiles and sends them to Kibana.
Android app #
For a music streaming platform, an Android app is an absolute must. Track retrieving via samples can also be done through that android app. It uses the same API endpoints as the frontend.
The frontend is made using Svelte and SSR for an optimal SEO, allowing artists to get more visibility.

Workplace trends 2022
We’ve come a long way since the beginning of the pandemic, and a lot of major cultural shifts have occurred in global workplaces. Society has adapted immensely and it’s important for business owners to continue to be aware of how company culture and workplace data has shifted in order to retain and motivate staff.
Here are some of the latest workplace statistics to keep in mind when managing a business:
Better employee recognition and performance reviews
According to a study from Microsoft, around 40% of global employees have considered leaving their job in the last year.
The need for improved communication and better strategies for things like performance reviews and company culture are necessary for nurturing employees and making them feel valuable.
Hybrid and WFH employees
Life after the height of the pandemic means that more workers are continuing to work from home or only work partial time in the office.
According to recent reports, two in five workers in the UK have adopted hybrid working models, and 45% of office workers would consider changing jobs to be able to continue to work in a hybrid model. Only 30% of businesses predict that they will have their full workforce 100% back on site by the end of the year.
Good B2B business models should consider allowing flexible working and also adapt their business models and communication strategies to continue to have high employee satisfaction.
Mental health as a workplace priority
The strains of the last two years have brought mental health to the top of employers’ priorities, with 19% of lost working time being due to mental health reasons in 2021, according to GoodShape’s UK PLC 2021 Workforce Health Report.
Business owners and HR managers should keep track of employees’ leave and provide additional support for staff experiencing struggles with mental health.
We continue to face many challenges, yet it is not all negative. Ease in restrictions has meant that people are finally able to take well-deserved and much-needed holidays, we’re able to safely meet face-to-face and business is back on track for many industries.

title: First home with 5 deposit

text:
The First Home Loan, supported by Kāinga Ora, is designed to help eligible first-home buyers enter the property market sooner.
What is the First Home Loan?
Typically, banks require a 20% deposit, making homeownership challenging for many first-home buyers. The First Home Loan removes this barrier by allowing approved applicants to secure a mortgage with only a 5% deposit. These loans are available through selected banks and lenders, with Kāinga Ora underwriting them to reduce the lender’s risk.
If saving even a 5% deposit is difficult, you may be able to use your KiwiSaver first-home withdrawal or receive a gifted deposit from family to help meet the requirement.
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible for a First Home Loan, you must:
✅ Be a New Zealand citizen, permanent resident, or resident visa holder living in New Zealand.
✅ Applicants must be currently employed in New Zealand and have been with their current employer for at least 12 months.
If employed for less than 12 months, applicants must provide evidence of stable employment in the same occupation or industry over the past two years.
✅ Be a first-home buyer or in a similar financial position to one.
✅ Have an annual income of:
$95,000 or less (for individuals with no dependents).
$150,000 or less (combined, for couples or individuals with dependents).
✅ Have a minimum 5% deposit, which can come from savings, KiwiSaver, or a family gift.
✅ Be purchasing a property to live in, not as an investment.
How to Get Started
1⃣ Check Your Eligibility – Ensure you meet the above criteria.
2⃣ Choose a Lender – The First Home Loan is available through selected banks and lenders.
3⃣ Secure Your Deposit – Whether from savings, KiwiSaver, or a family gift, ensure you have at least 5%.
4⃣ Apply for Pre-Approval – Your lender will assess your application, including any additional lending criteria.
💡 Pro Tip: Obtaining a pre-approval will give you a clear idea of your budget before you start house hunting!
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my application is declined by one lender?
Each lender has different criteria, so it’s worth approaching multiple lenders to explore your options.
Can I use my KiwiSaver for the deposit?
Yes! If you’ve contributed to KiwiSaver for at least three years, you may be eligible to withdraw funds for your deposit.
What is the 0.5% fee associated with the First Home Loan?
This is a Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) premium, which covers the lender’s risk. It can often be added to your loan amount.
Can I use the First Home Loan to build a new home?
Yes, some lenders allow the loan to be used for new builds. Check with your lender to confirm their requirements.

Case Brief: Florida v. Jardines, 569 U.S. 1 (2013)
Court: Supreme Court of the United States
Date: March 26, 2013
Facts: The case arose when the Miami-Dade Police Department received an anonymous tip suggesting that Joelis Jardines was growing marijuana in his home. To investigate the tip, detectives approached Jardines' residence with a drug-sniffing dog. They conducted a canine sniff at the front porch of Jardines' home, during which the dog alerted to the presence of drugs. Based on this information, law enforcement obtained a search warrant, leading to the discovery of marijuana plants inside Jardines' home. Jardines was subsequently charged with drug-related offenses.
Jardines moved to suppress the evidence obtained from the dog sniff, arguing that the detectives had conducted an unlawful search in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Issue: Did the use of a drug-sniffing dog on the front porch of Jardines' home constitute a "search" under the Fourth Amendment, thereby requiring a warrant?
Holding: The Supreme Court held that the canine sniff conducted at Jardines' front porch constituted a search under the Fourth Amendment, and thus, the evidence obtained was inadmissible as it was obtained without a warrant.
Expectation of Privacy: The Court emphasized the sanctity of the home and the expectation of privacy that individuals have regarding their residences. The porch is considered part of the curtilage, which is the area immediately surrounding the home and is afforded the same protections as the home itself.
Nature of the Dog Sniff: The Court found that a dog sniff is a form of search because it involves law enforcement's intrusion into an area where the homeowner has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Unlike a typical observation that anyone could make, the use of a trained dog to detect the presence of illegal substances represents a sophisticated investigative technique that is intrusive in nature.
Precedent on the Curtilage: The decision drew on previous rulings that recognized the importance of curtilage in Fourth Amendment analysis. The Court cited earlier cases emphasizing that the protections of the Fourth Amendment extend to the areas immediately surrounding the home, which are integral to the privacy and security of the home.
Public Policy Considerations: The Court expressed concern that allowing such searches without a warrant could lead to excessive governmental intrusion into private lives and homes, undermining the principles of privacy and personal security enshrined in the Fourth Amendment.
Conclusion: The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jardines, concluding that the dog sniff at the front porch constituted a search under the Fourth Amendment. The Court's decision reinforced the notion that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the curtilage of their homes and established that law enforcement must obtain a warrant before conducting such searches.


title: Assay sample prep

text:
A critical process, transforming a sample into a compatible format for analytical procedures like PCR, NGS, and cell-based assays.
Assay Sample Prep can involve extraction/purification, concentration/dilution, or modification, depending on the assay requirements. Despite its importance, it poses significant challenges such as maintaining reproducibility, avoiding contamination, and managing labor-intensive workflows – particularly when performed manually. Automated systems can address these issues, offering improved accuracy, enhanced reproducibility, time and labor savings, and reduced contamination risk.
Manual normalization, normalization using a liquid handling system, and normalization using a microplate reader are some methods employed for this process. However, automated systems are increasingly preferred due to their higher accuracy, reproducibility, and efficiency, as well as their reduced risk of contamination.
Assay sample preparation is fundamental to many workflows in molecular biology and proteomics:
Opentrons helps you automate assay sample prep with open-source protocols for the OT-2 and Opentrons Flex
Assay sample preparation is often considered the most challenging part of the experimental process. It requires a high level of precision and accuracy to ensure reproducibility. It is also where the sample is most vulnerable to contamination or degradation, which could lead to inaccurate results. Furthermore, the optimal sample preparation protocol can vary widely depending on the type of sample and the specific assay to be performed.
Automation of assay sample preparation can be achieved with robotic liquid handling systems. These systems can accurately dispense precise volumes, mix reagents, and even perform operations such as heating or cooling. The use of such systems can reduce human error, increase reproducibility, and significantly speed up the sample preparation process.


title: Apple tv apps coming 2015

text:
Last week’s WWDC keynote turned out to be disappointing for us since Apple TV 4 failed to make the stage. It was initially expected that the new Apple TV 4 with slimmer profile, its own SDK, new Xcode based firmware, support for Siri and more, would be announced at the WWDC. But just few days before the event NYT, BuzzFeed and Re/Code reported that the Apple TV had been cut off from the keynote and that turned out to be true.
Three days before WWDC 2015 keynote, in a podcast interview with John Gruber [episode 122, 13-19 mins], Mark Gurman, who earlier vouched for Apple TV 4’s WWDC announcement, said that the Apple TV SDK has already been cooked into iOS 9 and that even with Apple’s maximum efforts, we could pick up some references in the firmware:
I even spoke to someone very reliable after those reports came out, who said that the SDK ‘n all that they are preparing for Monday still has (or as of that day, still had) the TV Kit stuff intertwined in there. So when the developers pull this thing apart, I won’t be surprised to see some references to that on Monday afternoon or whenever people get their hands on it.
Either Apple has released an earlier version of iOS 9 as the first beta or they have done an excellent job of cleaning it up, because no reports of references to the Apple TV SDK has been made till now. However, it seems Apple left one clue in the new developer program which indicates third-party app support on Apple TV.
Apple TV apps are coming pic.twitter.com/wOR98JOY6e
— Ouriel Ohayon (@OurielOhayon) June 9, 2015
At WWDC, Apple announced that they are merging the Developer Programs for watchOS, Mac OS X and iOS, so that a single subscription of $99 allows developers to make apps for all Apple devices. And as a part of the merging process, Apple reallotted the maximum number of devices that can be registered for beta testing of apps. Consequently, Apple TV picked up a massive 100 device limit on par with that of iPhones and iPads, for beta testing of app.
This might be reserved for the mere testing of Apple TV beta softwares, but 100 seems to be a bit overdo for such a purpose. And that is why, analysts think that Apple TV apps are coming soon, meaning Apple TV 4 is coming sooner.
The Verge’s Chris Welch:
What’s notable about these latest changes is that Apple TV is being mentioned more explicitly, and not only that, it’s receiving the same number of test slots that developers get for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch — all products that run thousands of third-party applications.
In the interview, Gurman also says that he now expects the Apple TV 4 to be launched in September, along with the next iPhones.

Dr. Emily Cartwright, a distinguished figure in the realm of retail marketing and consumer behavior, recently shared her insights on the evolving landscape of retail marketing strategies. With her extensive background in digital marketing and consumer psychology, Dr. Cartwright has become a go-to expert for retailers looking to refine their marketing approaches.
“In today’s retail environment, understanding and implementing the top 5 marketing strategies is not just beneficial; it’s imperative for survival,” Dr. Cartwright begins. “Retailers need to invest heavily in digital marketing, including search engine marketing and social media advertising, to stay relevant and visible to their target audience.”
Dr. Cartwright emphasizes the importance of a multi-faceted approach: “The key marketing strategies that retailers should focus on include leveraging UGC (User-Generated Content) to build trust and authenticity, employing advanced data analytics to tailor strategies based on demographics, and creating a unique in-store experience that complements online efforts.”
She also highlights the role of content and engagement in attracting customers. “Retailers must understand that attracting customers in the digital age goes beyond traditional advertising methods. It’s about building and maintaining relationships through engaging content and meaningful interactions.”
Regarding the allocation of resources, Dr. Cartwright advises, “A substantial portion of their annual budget should be dedicated to these five key areas. This isn’t just about spreading the word; it’s about creating conversations and experiences that resonate with consumers on a personal level.”
Dr. Cartwright also points out the often-overlooked value of quizlet-style interactive content and the power of search engine marketing. “Incorporating educational and interactive elements like quizlets can significantly enhance engagement, while search engine marketing ensures that your brand remains top of mind for those actively seeking your products or services.”
“Moreover,” she continues, “retailers invest heavily in strategies that drive loyalty and repeat business, understanding that the retailer’s success is deeply intertwined with the satisfaction and engagement of their customers.”
In conclusion, Dr. Cartwright stresses the need for retailers to adapt and evolve. “The digital landscape is constantly changing, and so are the strategies that retailers use to connect with their customers. By focusing on these five marketing strategies, retailers can not only survive but thrive in the competitive retail market.”
Dr. Emily Cartwright’s insights serve as a valuable guide for retailers aiming to navigate the complexities of modern consumer engagement and digital marketing strategies. Her expertise underscores the critical nature of adapting to and embracing new marketing methodologies to achieve success in the retail sector.
Conclusion: The Strategic Allocation of Marketing Budgets in Retail
Retailers consistently allocate a significant portion of their annual budget to marketing strategies that have proven effective in attracting and retaining customers, driving sales, and building brand loyalty. From digital advertising to personalized marketing, influencer collaborations, data analytics, and loyalty programs, these strategies represent the lifeblood of retail marketing efforts. By investing in these areas, retailers can ensure they are not only meeting but exceeding the expectations of their customers, thereby securing their position in a competitive market.

Elton John and Brandi Carlile almost abandoned their new album
Almost as soon as Elton John began recording his latest album, he started blowing the whole thing up.
In 2023, he and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin reached out to singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile and proposed making an album together — in just 20 days.
"We went in with Andrew Watt (the producer), Brandi, Bernie Taupin and myself," Elton John told Morning Edition host A Martínez. "We had nothing. But that's what excited me. I didn't want to know what was going to happen. I was wanting to be unprepared and have a big adventure."
That "big adventure" became the new album Who Believes in Angels?
The project was unusual in more ways than one. It's the first time Elton John ever let a camera crew document his writing and recording process. And what viewers see is: The first few sessions were disastrous.
The video also reveals something stunning: Even after all his success, Elton John still gets nervous.
"The fear led to me having self-doubt about my writing, about what the album should be like," he says. "I was in pretty low spirits, kind of ornery for the first five or six days, to put it mildly. And a couple of times, I thought, 'I don't know whether we should continue with this.' But once it fell into place, it just went ahead like a rocket."
In the end, Elton John called it "one of the greatest experiences that I've had in recent years in the studio."
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
A Martínez: It sounds like there was a tense moment in the studio.
Brandi Carlile: There were tense moments. But, you know, he wears his heart on his sleeve, let's put it that way. We joke about it because it was very intense — and it did look touch-and-go for a while. But I can't think of anything more musical than just acting how you feel when you're creating music. And that's a complicated thing. But you hear it. You can hear it in the recording, and you don't hear that kind of thing anymore because things can get really synthetic in studios, but not with Elton John there.
Elton John: And the frustrations that I had were mostly frustrations about my own ability to get the lyric right or the melody right or get the harmony right. Doubt is something you always have when you're doing an album.
A Martínez: But, wait a second: You're Elton John! How do you have doubt about making music?
Elton John: You have to have doubt. I think every artist — whether they're a painter or a composer or a dancer or a photographer — doubt is a part of the process. Am I doing the right thing? Is this the best I can do at this particular time?
When we started, I was frustrated about that. But then it all fell into place when Bernie gave me the lyrics to "The Rose of Laura Nyro" and "Little Richard's Bible." And then she wrote "Swing for the Fences." Once we'd done those tracks, it was easy sailing.
If you don't have doubt, then you shouldn't be there, because you're coasting. You never should coast. I've never coasted and I never want to coast.
A Martínez: Brandi, did you have any doubts?
Brandi Carlile: Oh yeah, about myself — just like Elton had doubts about himself. But the album was a leap of faith — of our friendship and each other's musicality and whether or not those things would blend. You can't have faith without doubt.
A Martínez: There was a point in that video, Brandi, where you said, "I'm having a hard time connecting with Elton." What was going on there?
Brandi Carlile: Well, I was having a hard time connecting with Elton!
I was a little afraid at first. It took me a second to get strong. But one of the main things that was happening was: He was wanting to call it a day. He didn't want to go and do the album. There were really sad things happening in the world, and he was thinking maybe it wasn't a good time. And everybody else, including Bernie, was like, "This is fine. Elton's just having a moment of doubt and insecurity." But I respect Elton so much that I was, like, "I want to honor this." If he doesn't want to do this right now, I want to pay attention to him because maybe there's some wisdom in it.
And I'll tell you a story: The first song that we wrote and recorded didn't make the album, and it actually wasn't that great of a song. When we came in on the second day and the producer played it back for us, I watched Elton do something I've never been brave enough to do. The song ended, and Elton looks at me and Bernie and Andrew and he goes, "I hate it, absolutely hate it." And then he goes, "I won't be continuing."
I died in that moment. But then I thought to myself in the days after: Actually, it wasn't good. Why wasn't anybody brave enough to say they hate it except him? There's something really pure about that reaction.
Elton John: Yeah, that was a typical Elton John do-it-by-numbers-type song. And I just was so upset at my boring chord sequence and the boring things that I did for that song. So I was being very critical of myself and I did hate it. It wasn't the record I wanted to make. It sounded like it could have been a track on an album from 10, 20 years ago. I know that wasn't for me.
Brandi Carlile: And if you hadn't said that — and we had just kept on going along like that — we may have made a whole album like that. But you are the one that stopped that from happening.
A Martínez: Brandi, the song "Swing for the Fences" — I read that you felt like that was your gem that you were going to bring to this whole thing.
Brandi Carlile: It's a love letter to LGBTQ youth. It is also a thank-you letter to Elton in some ways.
He really wanted me to write a rock and roll song. He really wanted it to be positive and uplifting and exciting. It was the only song that felt like an assignment to me, you know? And I just wanted him to love it so bad.
It's the first song that I brought to him in the studio. And he did love it.
Elton John: I went, "Hallelujah! She finally got it! Hallelujah! This is what I've been wanting her to do for a long time." It was like manna from heaven. I absolutely loved every second of it.
A Martínez: Elton, it seems like mortality comes up quite a bit on this album, either accepting the end of things or maybe fighting to enjoy the days we have left. Was that a theme you were consciously trying to include here?
Elton John: No, not really. The song that Bernie gave me, which is the last song I recorded ["When This Old World Is Done With Me"], I was halfway through the lyrics on the bus, and then I got to the chorus and found out what it was about. And then I broke down.
When this old world is done with me/
Just know I came this far/
To be broken up in pieces/
Scatter me among the stars/
When this old world is done with me/
When I close my eyes/
Release me like an ocean wave/
Return me to the tide.
I think when you get to a certain age, you think about mortality. And if you have children and a family, you think about it. But I'm not a gloom-and-doom person. I think I have so much more time on this planet. I'm in good shape. I'm in good health. But it's a time when we do think about what's going to happen, how are they going to be if I'm not here? It's just a human thought.
It's an optimistic song in a way. If you can sing about it, you're okay with it. It's a part of life. And it's important to sing about it. But I've never sang about it so meaningfully as this song. The lyrics touched me so much.
Brandi Carlile: It's really interesting the way that Elton and Bernie are connected. When it came in through the printer and I held it in my hands for the first time, I looked at it and went, "I wonder how Bernie's feeling in this moment," you know? Elton and Bernie have been so connected throughout the years — Elton's sung Bernie's story so many times that I think that this lyric is a connection between the two of them. And it was really beautiful to watch that come out and see the connection between these two men play out in real time.
Elton John: Yeah, it's just about as much about Bernie as it is about me. And that's what made me even more upset, because we had the closest relationship anyone could have, as partners and songwriters and friends and allies. It's so special that when you see it written down like that in black and white, you're thinking, "I wonder which one he means? Does he mean me? Does he mean him?"
A Martínez: Was that song hard to sing?
Elton John: I broke down. Then I composed myself. But Andrew said, "No, that's no good. You're not in the right frame of mind singing today. You come in tomorrow when you're fresh and you do the piano and vocal live at the same time."
And that's what you hear. I came in, did it first-take — piano and vocal live — and that's what you hear.
A Martínez: Brandi, is there anything that came out of this process that maybe makes you a better songwriter?
Brandi Carlile: Oh my God, don't even get me started.
I was recently writing for a new album — a Brandi Carlile album — and missing Elton so much … but remembering that the Elton music I witnessed in the studio live is a well that I'm always going to be able to draw from.
I have rigidity about me. It's not my favorite thing about myself. I have little rules and nuances and boundaries. And Elton — as a writer, a musician and also just as a friend — he blows those boundaries apart. He just blasts right through them. And I always will because of this. Those rigidities, they're gone.
I have them around other things now!

title: Barratry

text:
Texas has criminalized barratry since 1876. Citing legal dictionary definitions, courts in Texas have stated generally that barratry is the “vexatious incitement to litigation, especially by soliciting potential legal clients,” or “the offense of . . . exciting and stirring up quarrels and suits, either at law or otherwise.” Those vague descriptions say little and could apply to most forms of permissible lawyer advertising, solicitation, and marketing.
In Texas, at least, the better approach to ascertain the meaning of barratry is probably to examine the “functional definitions” in the Texas Penal Code.
In 2011 the Texas Legislature amended Tex. Gov’t Code § 82.065 and added § 82.0651. Those statutory changes strengthened civil remedies for clients and created a new civil remedy for nonclients who are subjected to solicitation that violates laws or disciplinary rules regarding barratry.
Barratry issues can arise in a variety of legal settings, including fee disputes, association of counsel, motions to disqualify, and lawyer discipline cases. Herring & Panzer counsels clients regarding barratry issues in each of these types of matters. The firm can provide advice to clients who have been a victim of barratry, as well as lawyers who may face their own allegations of barratry.Two principal Texas Penal Code sections address barratrous conduct: § 38.12 and § 38.18.
Section 38.12 of the Texas Penal Code is the key barratry prohibition. It is entitled “Barratry and the Solicitation of Professional Employment” and defines three categories of criminal offenses, each of which has multiple subcategories.
Chuck Herring has testified as an expert witness for the State of Texas in a rare, successful criminal prosecution of a lawyer for the crime of barratry.
The first category of criminal offenses has subcategories that focus on (a) unauthorized claims; (b) solicitation; and (c) paying or transferring value to obtain employment. Specifically, the first prohibition provides that a person commits an offense if, with “intent to obtain economic benefit,” the person:
The second category of offenses focuses on financing the foregoing activities, or knowingly accepting employment based on such prohibited solicitation. Specifically, it creates criminal liability for a person who:
An exception to § 38.12(a) or (b) exists if the “conduct is authorized by the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct or any rule of court.”
Section 82.0651 provides that a contract for legal services is voidable by the client if it is “procured as a result of conduct violating Section 38.12(a) or (b), Penal Code, or Rule 7.03 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. . . .”
Under the statute, even if a contract is declared void for barratry, an “innocent” lawyer may still obtain a quantum meruit recovery if the client does not prove the lawyer committed barratry or knew of the barratry “before undertaking the representation,” and the lawyer reported the barratrous misconduct to the disciplinary authorities unless (a) someone else already did or (b) the lawyer reasonably believed reporting would “substantially prejudice” the client.
In addition to providing that the contract is voidable by the client, the statute allows a client to recover the following from any person who has committed barratry:
