I assume this is a bug of some kind. Is there a workaround so I can have some security in that directory and have styles applied too?

Skill Level Beginner
Earlier in this chapter, I showed you how to change the size and/or the resolution of a photo in order to share it in print, or online. There may be times when you need to change the size and/or the resolution of more than one photo at a time. I'd like a show you a way to save time when you're doing that by using a special command in the Expert edit workspace in Elements Editor. Here in that workspace, I'll go to the File menu, and I'll come down to the Process Multiple Files command. That opens the large Process Multiple Files dialog box.
Here, I can not only resize images, and change the resolution, but I could also change the file name of multiple images, the file type of multiple images; I could even apply auto corrections to multiple images at once, and as I'll show you in the next movie, I can apply a watermark or a caption to multiple images at once. So, let's say that what I'm trying to do is resize a number of photos that I've put into one folder, so that I have them all the proper size to upload to a particular photo sharing site.
I'll start here in the Source field by identifying the source of those photos. Because I put all the photos into one folder, from this first field, I'll choose Folder, and then I'll click the Browse button to the right of the Source field, and I'll browse directly to that folder, and select it, and click OK, and that enters a path to that folder full of photos here in the Source field. If there were subfolders inside that folder, I would check Include All Subfolders too. Now I have to set a Destination for the finished, or processed files. I could check Same as Source, and that would put the processed files in the same folder as my original files, but I'm going to set a different destination, so I'll click the Browse button to the right of the Destination field, I'm going to browse to my Desktop, I'll click Make a New Folder, and I'll make a new folder for the finished files, which I'll call processed, and I'll click OK.
In the next section, I could rename the files. I'm not going to bother with that right now, but I am going to come down here to the Image Size section. I'll check Resize Images, and that makes all these other settings available. If I were preparing files for print, then I would change the unit of measurement next to the Width and Height fields to inches, and I would go to the Resolution field, and choose the appropriate resolution for inkjet printing, which, as I explained earlier, is somewhere around 300 pixels per inch.
But because I'm preparing these files for online upload, I really don't care what's here in the Resolution field, and I want the width and height to be measured in pixels, so I'll change those fields back to pixels. I'll make sure Constrain Proportions remains checked, and I know that the width of these files can be no more than 300 pixels, so I'll type 300 into the Width field. I don't have to bother typing anything into the Height field, because I do have Constrain Proportions checked. At the same time that I change the size of all of the images in this folder, I can also set their file type, and in the case of JPEGs, the JPEG compression quality. So, I'll check Convert Files to, and from this menu, I'm going to choose the quality of JPEGs that I want. Because I'm uploading to a Web site online, I know that the files have to be JPEGs, but I don't wanted them to be very large, so I'm going to go down to a Medium Quality.
The higher the JPEG compression quality, the larger the file size will be, but also the better the files will look. Now, I don't like to apply auto corrections to multiple files at once. I'd rather control that process myself beforehand in the Editor, so I'll leave these fields unchecked. But one thing I do like to do to all the photos before I upload them is usually to sharpen them, so I will check this Sharpen box here. As I said, in the next movie, I'll show you how to use this Watermark feature to add a copyright to all of the files you're processing at once, but I'm going to leave that blank for now, and I'll just come down and click OK to start processing these files with these settings.
I can see Elements quickly processing all of the files in the source folder, and when it's done, I'll go up to my Desktop to see the results. Here on my Desktop, I can see that processed folder that I created. I'll open it and here I have a copy of each of the five files. If I select one of these files, you can see down here at the bottom of the Explorer window the new dimensions of this file: 300 pixels wide, and this particular file was set to 225 pixels tall, because I constrained the proportions.
And the same is true of all these files; none of them is more than 300 pixels in width. So, I've managed resize them all at once, saving myself a lot of time as I process these files for sharing.

Derwentside Homes welcomes new business manager
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities
North Durham housing provider, Derwentside Homes has appointed a new manager to support its growth aspirations and aim of developing new services to its tenants and the local community.
Vicky McCourt, 49, from Framwellgate Moor has been appointed as New Business Development Manager to help it focus on new business growth opportunities and secure future investment that will benefit and add value to the services that it currently provides.
The not-for-profit company which reinvests any surpluses into maintaining and investing in its existing homes, the development of new homes and the communities it serves, has ambitious growth plans for the next five years.
As part of its growth strategy, the business aims to deliver new opportunities to compliment and support its existing award-winning community-based services, which are already proving popular with local residents. These include SHED which provides training and qualifications to unemployed people, a telephone befriending service for older tenants called Silver Talk and The Smarterbuys Store – a weekly payment store set up as an affordable alternative to other high street stores and door step lenders.
Vicky is an enthusiastic and self-motivated manager with 14 years' experience of working in economic development and regeneration and 12 years in social housing. She also holds a Masters in Science in Urban Policy and Regeneration, which she gained from University of Northumbria.
Commenting on her appointment, Vicky said: "I am delighted to have secured employment with Derwentside Homes in what is a very successful and ambitious organisation.
"I am looking forward to utilising the skills and knowledge I have developed throughout my working career to help drive the business forward and support its business objectives and growth strategy. These are very exciting times for me and Derwentside Homes and I am pleased I have the opportunity to be a part of that."
Keith Tallintire, Director of Resources at Derwentside Homes, said: "Vicky is an excellent new addition to Derwentside Homes and will be a great asset to the team. She brings with her a wealth of experience, knowledge and contacts, which I'm sure will benefit the business in future and she is looking forward to working on and delivering some key projects for us over the next couple of years."
Vicky joined Derwentside Homes from Durham County Council where she worked as Area Regeneration Manager and then more recently as an Area Based Housing Regeneration Project Manager.
In her spare time, she is a voluntary Board Member for The Haven Ltd in Tyneside, which provides supported housing for ex-offenders, homeless, and former substance misusers.

Reduction of employer contributions
The Social Security Office yesterday expressed concern that the plan to lower employers' monthly contributions further could threaten the stability of the Social Security Fund (SSF).
As the government's policy to raise the minimum daily wage to Bt300 takes effect across the country next month, employers have demanded that the monthly contributions, equivalent to 2 per cent of their employees' salaries (the maximum salary ceiling recognised by the SSF is Bt15,000), be lowered throughout 2013.
"If this demand is met, SSF will receive Bt40 billion less than what it should next year," Social Security Office secretary-general Jeerasak Sukhontachart said yesterday.
The SSF offers employees medical, old-age, unemployment, disability and childbirth benefits.
According to Jeerasak, the employers' monthly contributions - if reduced - should at least amount to 4 per cent of the employees' salaries.
"We are now in the process of gathering details about the impact from the lowering by 2 per cent," he said.
Jeerasak said the board of the Social Security Office (SSO) would convene a meeting on December 18 to decide whether to accept the demand made by the employers.
Labour Ministry permanent secretary Somkiat Chayasriwong said employers also wanted the monthly contributions lowered by 1 per cent in 2014.
"They suggested that the contributions for the medical benefits may be optional and employees should be allowed to simply use the universal-healthcare scheme instead," he said.
Somkiat said the government had introduced a number of measures to cushion the significant wage hike on employers. Among them were tax incentives and soft loans.

"On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree"
Most of you know this old Christmas song, I know it's not yet the time for it. Though I had my last dinner in a restaurant while listening to jingle bells, odd enough. Some days ago my true love went to Germany and Spain and back home he gave me German cooking magazines. One of them is dedicated and packed with mouth watering recipes for apples and pears. No partridge in a pear tree but I would love to have such a tree and bake all the nice treats in this magazine.
That's not all Mr. F brought home from his recent trip to Europe. He also arrived with an over a week long jet-lag. Which was the cause for: "are you still asleep?" at night times. What kind of question is that anyway? At 3 am? I don't wanna sound like a sissy, but not enough sleep makes me sluggish and I don't even want to mention the other side-effects. Spending one week overtired and exhausted was let's say challenging. Concluding I have to say this bunch of cooking magazines came with a high price tag for my well-being, but totally worth in view of bringing some Caribbean treats into our autumn days. And I am able to share this cake with my true love and two great friends who are coming all the way from Kansas City to visit us!
One of my favorite German cooking magazines is Lust auf Genuss unfortunately not available here in the US (or not that I know of). My mum is collecting all issues for me and every time someone makes the way over the ocean, I get a stack of magazines. It's not that we are traveling every week to Europe so I get most of the issues when they are out of season. Autumn arrives some weeks later here in mid south and that's the reason why 09/12 "Äpfel & Birnen" (apples and pears) is just in time and it's one of the best issues to far. I had been slobbering all over the pictures and finally decides it has to be the Caribbean pear cake. I don't own a 26 cm springform pan and just 'downsized' the recipe to fit in my 24 cm pan. I also swapped starch from the original recipe for whole wheat flour, which made the texture more rustic.
Caribbean pear coconut cake
- for the cake batter:
- 185 g / 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 90 g / 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 185 g / 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 140 g / 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tsp coconut liqueur
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- for the filling:
- finely grated zest of one lime
- juice of one lime (about 2 Tbsp)
- 4 ripe pears, at least 1.5 pound
- 3 egg white
- 140 g / 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 150 g / 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- about 3 Tbsp coconut chips
- Preheat your oven to 175 C / 350 F. Grease your 24 cm / 9.5 inch springform pan.
- For the cake batter: in a medium bowl measure and stir flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In your bigger bowl or stand mixer with a paddle attachment add butter and sugar and mix until creamy. Add one egg at a time and continue mixing until pale and fluffy. Add flour mix, liqueur and vanilla extract stir shortly just until combined.
- Spread evenly in your prepared springform pan and bake 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the filling: Peal the pears, cut in quarters, remove cores and stones and slice quarters into half. Coat with 1 Tbsp lime juice and set aside.
- Add lime zest to sugar and rub with your fingers.
- Beat egg white, lime-sugar and remaining lime juice (about 1 Tbsp) until they form firm peaks. Fold in coconut flakes.
- Spread the meringue over cake and sprinkle with coconut chips. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. You might have to cover cake with aluminum foil if coconut chips browns too quickly. Let cool and remove from the pan.

Shrimp-market showdown expected tonight
Published: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 at 11:00 p.m.
HOUMA - A local seafood-market owner has asked the Terrebonne Parish Council to ban all mobile seafood vending in the parish.
But Arthur Eschete and his wife, Linda's, pleas to limit their competition drew no response from council members Tuesday.
The Eschetes have asked the council at previous meetings to strictly enforce the parish ordinance regulating mobile vendors for sanitary reasons but in the past stopped short of asking for an all-out ban.
The council may discuss the matter at its meeting tonight when shrimper Kim Chauvin plans to make a presentation on open-air markets and seafood vending.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Courthouse Annex, Goode and School streets.
A familiar face to council meetings over the past three months, Chauvin told the council Tuesday that she is saving her comments for tonight. She said she will bring a video and guests to support her assertions that an open-air market will be a sanitary venue in the parish, a notion contrary to the Eschetes' argument.
Chauvin and the Eschetes sat on opposite sides of a section of seating in the Parish Council meeting room Tuesday night, occasionally casting unsmiling glances with furrowed brows at one another.
Chauvin's small daughter, Mariah, cuddled up under a navy-blue blanket next to her mother during more than an hour of drainage discussion before the council broached the seafood vendors' topic. The Chauvins' shrimping boat, the Mariah Jade, is named for their daughter, who whispered soft requests to go home during the meeting.
She and her brothers have accompanied Chauvin to several meetings while their father is out shrimping.
Chauvin has been selling some shrimp at local grocery parking lots on weekends to make ends meet. She has informed council members of shrimpers who have gone under in a harsh market.
Some shrimpers, hammered by a season of low dock prices attributed to a national flood of cheap imports, are selling their catches direct to the public from boats and pickups along Terrebonne Parish roadways and bayous. The price crash affects shrimp fisheries throughout the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, placing not only shrimpers but also some docks and processing plants at risk of closure.
Shrimpers have asked council members to lift what they say is an oppressive local requirement that a $5,000 bond be posted for roadside sales to be allowed. The council's response was an investigation of the open-air market possibilities, as well as changes in local laws aimed at addressing the shrimpers' needs. No action has resulted from the investigation.
Parish law permits mobile seafood sales under strict conditions. Shrimpers have asked that those conditions be suspended because of hard time they're having, though they have received little support other than sympathy or resolutions asking legislators for help.
