Celine Dion famously performed at which legendary hotel from 2011 until 2018?
Caesars Palace is one of the oldest casinos on The Strip, dating back to 1966. When the hotel opened, it threw a massive $1 million party and invited everyone from Johnny Carson to Jimmy Hoffa to attend. Frank Sinatra really helped put the hotel on the map after Howard Hughes cut him off at the Sands, so he moved to Caesars where he was making $100,000 a week until the owner pulled a gun on him during a fight.

Questions How to automatically add file attachments to an outgoing email
Scenario: Field service technician fill out reports. Technicians time and materials are used to create invoices. The FS reports are attached to the invoices as pdfs.
Want to automatically attach the invoice file attachments to the the email invoice to the customer. Does anyone have a method for doing this?
Looked at the following options:
- Using a business Event import scenario that updated the email with the attachments. Whilst the import scenario on the Email Activity screen includes a facility to "Attach files", I can't seem to get it to work
- Including images in the invoice. That is a limited solution because the Report Designer does not support display of pdfs and some images may be multiple pages long
- Including links to a website in the email, where the attachments are stored. Possible but maybe some security issues.
Including the attachments is the preferred solution.
I can't think of a way to do it. Maybe using an outside tool like Power Automate?

Campfire charger
A handy little thing, but not particularly powerful, it can fill the battery of an iPhone smartphone in 2-3 hours. It feeds exclusively on flammable materials, you can use everything, cones, leaves, dry grass, or ordinary sticks. let's say thanks to the Japanese, they are the inventors, but they have already established production in China, so the price of the device should not bite.
Using solar panels
Dynamo machine
The second most popular answer to the question is how to charge iPhone 5s without charging? Dynamo cars have been known for more than two centuries, with the help of them the first electricity was obtained, why not use this principle away from the city. These cars are not expensive, you can find working copies for less than 100 rubles.
Battery charger
Practical, convenient, proven by many travelers thing. But for work, you will have to periodically replenish the stock "cartridge" in the form of AAA or AA batteries.
Speed up battery charging
To speed up the charging time and not waste hours on fully charging your iPhone, just follow a couple of simple steps:
- We turn on "Airplane mode". it will help to save a lot of time for filling the iPhone battery, reduce the time by 30%
- We reduce the backlight of the iPhone screen to the minimum, the backlight drains the battery of the smartphone great, you need to remember this.
- After we have charged the iPhone battery by 50-70%, we turn off all unnecessary functions, GPS, 3G, Wi-Fi, it is they, more than all other functions, that consume valuable energy. So we will give up the Internet, but we will still be able to take an important call while we get to the outlet.
We are looking for assistants
- We negotiate with the seller at a nearby outlet, leaving him with his iPhone for a while. In 5-10 minutes, the phone battery is enough to charge for making 2-3 calls, or for 10 minutes of surfing the Internet. This method has its risks. they simply may not return the iPhone, said that they see you for the first time.
- We are looking for a special stand for recharging phones; in any self-respecting shopping center there are similar devices. Usually on such stands you can find a cord with lighting and micro-USB connectors.
- We go to the cellular salon and ask the seller to recharge the device, which has sat down, they will not refuse you, but they will take a small fee, usually no more than 50 rubles. The risks of this method are much less when compared with the first.
- We find a special kiosk where, for a nominal fee (about 50 rubles per hour), you can fill the battery of your device.

Overview of the most effective ways to "power" without using a standard power supply
Perhaps, let's start with the most elementary, but not always available option for powering a mobile device. You may not know how to charge your iPhone from your computer. Therefore, let's consider this charging method, which, as you understand, involves the use of a laptop, tablet, or a device equipped with a USB connector. If the operating level of the battery has become critical, and your device is "tired" of warning about it. it blinked the screen and went out, you need to connect it to any available device that has the necessary port. Thanks to which you will be able to answer the question of how to charge an iPhone without charging, with a practical action.
Today you can buy a case with a charger. That is, the design feature of such a device will be the presence of a built-in battery, the capacity of which varies from 1500 to 3200 mAh. That allows you to use the phone for quite a long time without recharging. The comfortable cover is not only ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing. The demanded device will help to effectively solve the problem of how to charge the iPhone without charging, as well as give an anti-shock property to the device. over, protection against mechanical damage to the back of the iPhone is guaranteed in any version of the charging case. An indicator on the front panel of the device shows the battery level, thanks to which the user can always visually determine the level of performance of the auxiliary battery.
In search of promising technologies
First of all, the question requires some specification. After all, each of us knows that without the influence of a certain type of energy, none of the known inventions of the "human genius" will be able to function. Therefore, the question of how to charge an iPhone without charging does not yet have a full answer. Certainly, some of the developers' attempts to change the principle of "life support" of the phone were crowned with success. It goes without saying that the standard charger will undergo dramatic changes in the near future. The "purposeful universality" problem already has several fundamentally different solutions. However, today it is still not possible to "globally decouple" mobile units from the habitually used power outlets. However, how to charge an iPhone or other "brainchild" of the electronic industry when there is no access to the "benefits of civilization" is already a real reality. But the low efficiency (efficiency) of the developed and, incidentally, mass-produced devices and, at the same time, the incomplete thoughtfulness of the "mechanism" for supplying a certain charge power is somewhat removed from being a full-fledged alternative to a 220 W source or another nominal value of the generally accepted standard of centralized electrification. As a result, we observe an ever-increasing need for alternative energy sources and a genuine interest of manufacturers It is these facts that push developers to search for the most acceptable technological solutions.
A little about the disadvantages
How to charge iPhone without charging? Charging iPhone without a charger
Today it is impossible to imagine a modern person without a mobile phone.

Splitgate Needs to Shake Up Its Ranked Mode Offerings
Splitgate has some nice recreation modes, however in terms of ranked, it might positively use some extra choices to vary issues up just a little bit.
It's been no secret that Splitgate has acquired a ton of assist from followers since beta launch. For good purpose too, as many who've performed the sport have identified. It completely blends the arena-style first-person taking pictures of traditional Halo with the on-your-feet mind puzzles of Portal, making for an gratifying expertise that feels recent in an business oversaturated with free-to-play shooters. It was just lately introduced that the game would be staying in open Beta for the foreseeable future as 1047 Video games continues to excellent the title.
The sport has loads of followers asking for Splitgate to obtain greater eSports leagues, and its ranked modes counsel that 1047 has that in thoughts for its future. Because it stands presently, the ranked modes depart just a little bit to be desired when it comes to capitalizing on all of the fascinating options that Splitgate has to supply. With solely three modes obtainable thus far, it feels just a little bit underwhelming when wanting on the plethora of modes obtainable in non-ranked play. It's value declaring that the ranked recreation modes have already been tweaked and adjusted over time, so it looks like 1047 is already wanting into making the ranked modes as enjoyable as doable.
Options for Ranked Splitgate Modes
When dreaming up the very best ranked modes for Splitgate, one doesn't must look far for inspiration. There's already loads of glorious recreation modes included in un-ranked lobbies that 1047 Games could use for ranked. Clearly, not the entire modes like Gun Sport would work, as they're extra arcade-style enjoyable than the rest, however a superb handful could be value together with within the ranked foyer rotation.
It looks like Showdown is an obvious pick for ranked play, because it already seems like a spectator sport with its 11 discrete rounds. The 3v3 permadeath mode feels excellent for ranked because it requires gamers to really know every weapon within the recreation with the mode's randomized loadouts. Due to the permadeath in every spherical, it lends itself nicely for spectators as gamers are capable of pull out nail-biting, from-behind victories in the event that they're expert sufficient. By together with Showdown in Splitgate's ranked circuit, it could additionally enable for veteran gamers to all the time be paired with equally extremely ranked gamers to make for top-tier Splitgate moments.
The arguments towards together with Workforce SWAT in ranked play for Splitgate does make loads of sense, as having an instadeath mechanic included within the mode doesn't all the time make for fascinating performs — it's exhausting for a player to have the ability to counter an assault in the event that they have been killed earlier than they'd the prospect to show round. However, nonetheless, it could actually take a look at a player's talents to hit constant headshots and be one step forward of the enemies which might be closing in. As a result of Workforce SWAT additionally ditches a number of components of the HUD, it pushed gamers to be much more vigilant and conscious of their environment making for much more cut-throat matches with high-level Splitgate play.
Due to its team-based nature, VIP additionally seems like a shoo-in for ranked, nonetheless, it could require everybody taking part in to be utilizing a microphone or be within the crew chat. As factors are solely scored when taking down the VIP, it could require cooperation and communication between these on offense and people on protection. What's extra, because the VIP is randomly modified as soon as the present VIP is killed, it could make for some fascinating play modifications because the title may be given to anybody on the crew. If the mode isn't an ideal match for the sport's ranked mode, then hopefully it may be included if and when Splitgate ends up with an official league.
Splitgate is out now in beta for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Collection X variations additionally within the works.

Italian fashion company Versace is mulling to allow external investors to boost the company's expansion in foreign markets.
The family-owned business is seeking investment options to expand its brand in Asian markets such as China.
On the basis of 2012 earnings, the company is valued at €690m, while it is expected to grow to €1bn by 2014, reported Reuters.
In an interview with the news agency, Versace chief executive Gian Giacomo Ferraris remarked that the family is debating over the funding for future growth.
"We are asking ourselves how fast we could go if instead of a Mercedes we owned a Ferrari," he added.
"We are aware that it could be a road but not immediately."
Allegra Versace holds 50% stake in the company, while chief designer Donatella Versace and her brother Santo Versace own 20% and 30%, respectively.
In 2012, the company appointed Goldman Sachs and Banca IMI as advisers after it posted profits in 2011 following three consecutive years of losses.
Taking to The Wall Street Journal, Ferraris remarked: "It's just a matter of deciding whether to grow faster — by injecting external resources — or a little slower by ourselves."
Ferraris also asserted that the advisers are likely to present the best possible options for the company's growth in next few months.
Meanwhile, the company is seeking potential markets to extend its brand presence. The US accounted 13% of the total global revenues of the company grabbing retailer's attention.
"This is all about our new lines and accessories, which are becoming more and more popular there. Donatella Versace has been looking at it closely and made it more appealing for American taste and for young people," noted Ferraris.
The company is also planning to unveil 10 outlets in China over the year, besides scheduling the launch of three stores in Brazil by May 2013.
Versace is also keen on exploring markets such as South Korea and Turkey.

This post originally appeared on VICE UK
When it comes to Christmas stories, it's usually all baby Jesus, braindead Schwarzenegger vehicles, and abandoned children named Kevin trying to maim hardened criminals. The one genre that generally doesn't get represented is science fiction. Somehow, reflecting on the existential paradoxes of the human condition by projecting the psycho-spiritual impacts of rapid technological advancement just doesn't seem right for that 6 PM nexus of hangover and mom-induced food coma.
So, being the contrarian provocateur that he is, it was only natural that Charlie Brooker should make a sci-fi christmas special for his ongoing exploration of tech-horror, Black Mirror.
"White Christmas" presents three vaguely intersecting stories set in a near-future world in which the line between social media and IRL has become blurred. Gadgets called Z-Eyes have been implanted into all people, allowing them to record and share their experiences in real time. OK, you say—so far, so Google Glass 2.0. But, interestingly, the etiquettes and mores of social media have also been internalized, allowing characters in this world to block each other, rendering them as weird, pixellated non-people. Like all sci-fi, this premise initially sounds great—everyone who posts links to to Glenn Beck and Alex Jones gone forever. But, inevitably, it leads to unintended and horrifying consequences.
But what's really interesting here isn't actually the technobabble or clever commentary on social media. What Brooker has done with "White Christmas" is to present a Samuel Beckett play disguised as a science-fiction story. This is about the true stuff of Christmas: existential horror, the howling intimation of ultimate meaninglessness, and a profound despair at the unending futility of it all. And some food.
The action opens with Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall waking up on Christmas morning in some kind of cabin in a snowed-in netherworld. Neither seem to know quite where they are, or why they are there. This framing device is straight-up Endgame stuff—but deftly executed, setting the uncanny, alienating tone of the story to come.
Hamm proceeds to talk us through a flashback of his life as a pick-up artist, coaching hapless losers to manipulate their way to instantly regrettable fucks at office parties. This is an inspired piece of casting: Not only is one of the characters in Endgame actually named Hamm, but Draper in Mad Men nicely foreshadows the whole PUA phenomenon with his creepy mix of overbearing machismo and advertising strategy. This plot line is also our next step into the Beckettian universe that Brooker is creating. What could be more sterile, void, and Sisyphean than the world of the pick-up artist, forever seeking sex through a manipulative hokum that renders the sex itself completely joyless?
And where does the Hamm character ply his trade most effectively? Where else but at office Christmas parties—zones of such unfathomable ennui that they can only be dealt with by dunking your head into the punch bowl and stuffing your face with charcuterie until the boss gives his speech and it's time to go home.
Neatly avoiding any spoilers, Brooker also manages to play with the same sex-death dynamic that underpins all Western art, implying that perhaps what all PUAs are really seeking so desperately isn't sex at all, but their own annihilation.
We're then introduced to the second narrative, featuring Oona Chaplin as a woman who clones herself to create the perfect domestic servant, one who knows her own wishes and desires in advance. The plot may slow here a little, but it also introduces Brooker's next major dystopian theme: the experience of "nothingness" used as a form of punishment. Here Brooker may think he's being all dour and Heidegger-y, but what this actually recalls most is the excellent book (and much more uneven films), The Neverending Story. If you haven't read the book, you definitely should—"The Nothing," a "a force of absolute oblivion that erases everything and everyone it touches from existence and leaves no trace whatsoever," is one of the most terrifying antagonists in all literature and traumatized the fuck out of me when I was 11.
It's in the third narrative, when the action shifts to Rafe Spall as an estranged father, that "White Christmas" comes into its own. Discussing whether or not Spall's character is "a good man," the two protagonists settle on "a good man who has done bad things." Suddenly the drama is given a more human face, and the three plot lines are neatly brought together in a gratifying, if foreshadowed, twist.
The banality and nullity of modern life are the underlying preoccupation of most of Brooker's pieces—they're like Radiohead albums with better jokes. Here, the ambition of the experiment totally pays off; the writing and performances are perfectly pitched, making for really excellent television. And, come to think of it, maybe sci-fi is actually the perfect genre for a holiday that revolves around a fat guy riding a sleigh drawn by flying reindeer and an omnipotent God having babies with the still-virginal wife of a Jewish carpenter in what's now the West Bank.
Ultimately, what Brooker is dealing with here is the age-old theme—rehearsed from ancient Greece to Jean-Paul Sartre to every Christmas party throughout all eternity—that anything fun, made mandatory, becomes excruciating. And that any activity, repeated infinitely, becomes a torture.
The only music used in "White Christmas" bar Jon Opstad's original score is Rossini's "Thieving Magpie Overture," nicely referencing A Clockwork Orange, and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday." As one listens to that novelty-glam refrain, Brooker makes one consider its true, horrifying implications. What if it were actually Christmas every day—can you imagine anything more terrible?

How does GCP work?
GCP differentiates itself from the other public cloud providers in a variety of ways, including a comprehensive security model, a unique billing model, and a strong reliance on data analytics to ensure optimal performance.
What you would commonly think of as software and hardware products are known in GCP as "services." These services work together to create a solution that benefits your organization and helps you reach your business goals.
Google Cloud Platform services
Google Cloud Compute Engine
What is it?
The Compute Engine service allows users to run virtual machines in Google's global data center. According to Google, "Compute Engine's tooling and workflow support enable scaling from single instances to global, load-balanced cloud computing."
What are the benefits?
As an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) part of Google Cloud Platform, Compute Engine is built on the same infrastructure as Google's search engine and other services, which offers high-level performance and low latency.

GCP Cloud Storage
What is it?
Cloud Storage is an online file storage web service used for GCP. Though it is often mistaken for Google Drive, they are two different services.
What are the benefits?
Cloud Storage has different varieties to suit your IT needs, no matter what industry your organization is in. You can choose the right storage class for your data including multi-regional, regional, nearline, and coldline — each provide specific benefits ranging from maximum availability to the lowest cost storage possible.

GCP Data Pipeline
What is it?
The GCP Data Pipeline is a way to collect, maintain, and process data faster and more efficiently than before.
For example, if you're a retail organization that sells a product, you can use a data pipeline to combine two sets of data warehouses: one that houses purchase data and another that keeps inventory data. A data pipeline can combine the two, so you can determine when your stock is running low. When bulked together, all of these steps comprise a Data Pipeline.
What are the benefits?
GCP Data Pipelines are used for a variety of reasons across industries, but the most important is the data visibility it provides.
Since data analytics is a growing field, organizations need the power to crunch information even faster through improved access to their data and the resulting improved business decisions.

GCP Autoscaling
What is it?
Autoscaling is a tool that allows your apps to efficiently handle increases in traffic by dynamically adding compute capacity. It also reduces capacity and costs in periods of low traffic and resource demand.
Once you determine your organization's goals, you'll create an autoscaling policy that is centered around your target utilization level. Autoscaling will continuously monitor your MIG and collect usage information based on that policy.
What are the benefits?
Being able to add or remove virtual machines (VMs) based on resource demand and traffic allows your organization to build a resilient, cost-effective GCP infrastructure that uses just the right amount of resources at the right time for your application's workload.
This intelligent, dynamic scaling tool helps you keep your actual spending in check, reduce expenses, and eliminate pay-as-you-go surprises — even when unexpected spikes occur.

Google Cloud DNS
What is it?
Domain name systems (DNS) are hierarchical databases that store information to turn user-friendly domain names, such as onixnet.com, into numeric IP addresses. These IP addresses function on the internet in the same way a phone number works, allowing users to get to the right destination on the web.
There are two types of zones:
Each zone is a container of DNS records and allows for more granular, administrative control of DNS components.
There are two types of zones:
- Public zones are visible on the internet and are the publishing location for your external apps. In these zones, Cloud DNS uses what are known as "authoritative name servers" to respond to public queries, no matter where these queries originate.
- Private zones only can be queried by your organization's authorized Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks and are assigned to specific projects, meaning only specific users can access them. These zones give you an easy-to-manage internal DNS solution that focuses on your virtual machines, load balancers, and other GCP resources.
Cloud DNS allows your organization to publish your DNS zones and records easily, either for external users or for your internal teams, without requiring your IT team to manage the necessary servers and software.
What are the benefits?
Cloud DNS provides users with a high-performance, resilient, and global DNS service that makes it easier to manage your applications while giving users easy access to these applications without having to remember a string of numbers.
Some organizations choose to manage their own DNS services, but you can streamline that effort through cloud computing. Cloud DNS relieves that management burden and allows for a focus on other critical activities. And it delivers reliable, low-latency access to your services to users anywhere in the world.
Related blog: GCP 101: What is Cloud DNS?
GCP Cloud SQL
What is it?
The Google Cloud SQL database is a fully managed, relational database that's designed to help you set up, maintain, manage, and administer your MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server relational databases on Google Cloud Platform.
What are the benefits?
This service ensures your relational databases are reliable, scalable, and secure in the cloud. Cloud SQL delivers powerful services for performance-intensive workloads, delivering up to 60,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) with no extra cost for IO.
GCP SQL also provides high availability of data, consistent at-scale usage, and daily binary logging and backups with point-in-time restoration.
Related blog: GCP 101: Exploring Google Cloud SQL Database
What is it?
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) computing network is similar to a physical one, however, a VPC is "virtualized" in a cloud computing environment, such as Google Cloud Platform. In short, VPCs allow you to easily (and virtually) expand your IP space. This service provides a number of uses to organizations:
- Networking functionality to Compute Engine VM instances, along with other cloud-based services, such as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) containers and the App Engine flexible environment.
- Addressing load balancing needs with native, internal TCP/UDP, and proxy systems for internal HTTP(S).
- Utilizing Cloud VPN (virtual private network) tunnels and Cloud Interconnect attachments to allow users to connect to on-premise networks.
What are the benefits?
A Google Cloud VPS is global, shareable, and expandable — making it great to help connect your team with each other and the information they need. Using VPC gives you managed, global networking functionality for all of your Google Cloud resources through subnetworks, known as subnets, hosted in Google Cloud data centers, which are each assigned to a specific region.
A single Google Cloud VPC and its subnets can span multiple regions without ever communicating to the public internet or being associated with any specific region, so your information is secure.

GCP Suite
What is it?
Google Cloud Operations Suite (formerly Stackdriver) is a tool that monitors, troubleshoots, and helps improve application performance across your organization's Google Cloud environment. It automatically collects metrics, logs, and traces, which are then made available to you in your dashboard.
What are the benefits?
This offering equips your organization with valuable insight into your cloud infrastructure and apps, revealing data about their health, performance, and availability so that you can quickly identify, troubleshoot, and repair issues.
Your organization may find several benefits, including lower latency, increased security, reduced cost, more efficient work, and more. The operations suite integrates with Google Cloud Platform but also reaches outside of the Google universe, including Amazon Web Services and popular open-source packages.

Google Cloud Platform security
GCP works to keep your information safe through a number of steps, including:
Protected infrastructure
With protection that's built into the system, you can be confident that your information is secure. As Google explains, "Our stack builds security through progressive layers that deliver true defense in depth."
With multiple layers of encryption, Google's products and services help secure your data.
Security is incredibly important for every organization — but some industries have certain compliance requirements that must be met. Google has a number of global compliance standards that help keep your information protected.
Data privacy
Your organization's data is exactly that: yours. This is why Google is committed to protecting your data and transparently informing you what they do (and do not do) with your data.
By allowing users to know what's going on in their cloud system, GCP builds trust in their services. They also utilize what they call "Trust Principles" to keep you in the know about their security policies.
GCP knows security is at the top of the list when choosing a cloud provider, which is why they have a multi-step security process built into their platform.
Google Cloud Platform pricing
Cost-effectiveness is likely one of the reasons you're interested in moving your organization to GCP. With a pay-as-you-go platform, your organization can avoid hefty fines, extra fees, and other expenses that drain your budget.

More importantly, the current design of the package system is generally perceived as a failure in the XEmacs community, even by Steve. (I'll be happy to explain why if anyone's interested.) Thus, it may not be desirable to adapt this code for Emacs. I have designed a new one, but have not been able to spend much time on implementing it. It would be useful to explain why, and post your design--perhaps someone here could help work on new package code.

Lesions in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis disrupt corticosterone and freezing responses elicited by a contextual but not by a specific cue-conditioned fear stimulus
Sullivan, GM and Apergis, J and Bush, DEA and Johnson, LR and Hou, M and Ledoux, JE, Lesions in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis disrupt corticosterone and freezing responses elicited by a contextual but not by a specific cue-conditioned fear stimulus, Neuroscience, 128, (1) pp. 7-14. ISSN 0306-4522 (2004) [Refereed Article]

DOI: doi:10.1016/j.neuroscience.2004.06.015
The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is believed to be a critical relay between the central nucleus of the amygdala (CE) and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) responses elicited by conditioned fear stimuli. If correct, lesions of CE or BNST should block expression of HPA responses elicited by either a specific conditioned fear cue or a conditioned context. To test this, rats were subjected to cued (tone) or contextual classical fear conditioning. Two days later, electrolytic or sham lesions were placed in CE or BNST. After 5 days, the rats were tested for both behavioral (freezing) and neuroendocrine (corticosterone) responses to tone or contextual cues. CE lesions attenuated conditioned freezing and corticosterone responses to both tone and context. In contrast, BNST lesions attenuated these responses to contextual but not tone stimuli. These results suggest CE is indeed an essential output of the amygdala for the expression of conditioned fear responses, including HPA responses, regardless of the nature of the conditioned stimulus. However, because lesions of BNST only affected behavioral and endocrine responses to contextual stimuli, the results do not support the notion that BNST is critical for HPA responses elicited by conditioned fear stimuli in general. Instead, the BNST may be essential specifically for contextual conditioned fear responses, including both behavioral and HPA responses, by virtue of its connections with the hippocampus, a structure essential to contextual conditioning. The results are also not consistent with the hypothesis that BNST is only involved in unconditioned aspects of fear and anxiety.
