text: News Leprosy – a teenager's perception of the disease I'm Alice, a 15-year-old girl who grew up in the UK. I recently read Sakshi's story about her experience battling leprosy which made me feel all sorts of emotions – the main one being sympathy. Since I was born, I have been surrounded by support and protection. I have had access to education, free healthcare, hot water and electricity – things that normally I may take for granted slightly. I have never had to go through anything remotely similar to what Sakshi has had to go through, however, I'd like to think if I did I would have her strength of character to be strong and fight through it. I admire that through all her pain she still carried on with her dream of being a teacher and didn't let leprosy stop her. Sakshi is like any other child, like me at that age, growing up in a loving family with aspirations of a job. Similar to any other child around the world, she is hugely impacted by her peers' view on her and ultimately quit school because people were pointing out her insecurities. I find it interesting that although she was in pain and was suffering from leprosy, one of the things that hurt her most is the cruel words of others. In a way, reading her story makes me feel guilty. Problems that I, and many others, take so seriously - like if the phone charger doesn't reach your bed, or when the hotel you're staying in doesn't have Wi-Fi - are, thinking about it now, nothing compared to those in the developing world. Opportunities for Sakshi don't come around as easy as they may for me. Life is especially challenging for her as she has leprosy, the prejudice and discrimination that comes with the disease could affect her forever. It makes me upset to think that she had to spend a whole year of her life out of school taking the wrong medication when the treatment is so simple. It also makes me upset thinking how lonely and scared she must've been. It scares me to think that if Sakshi's parents hadn't pushed her and the doctors to find the problem, she may be living a completely different life right now. But, I feel glad to hear she is doing well now and I hope that her dreams of being a teacher come true for her. I hope that leprosy becomes a disease which is more widely known and that more people seek the cure before disability develops through being able to recognise their symptoms and no longer fearing diagnosis through prejudice. Additionally, I would want medical staff around the world to be more informed, so that children like Sakshi wouldn't have to go through a course of wrong medication and waste time that could be spent learning. To increase knowledge, especially in rural places, I would set up programmes teaching children and adults the importance of spotting diseases such as leprosy early and other basic information to stop the prejudice and ensure people go to get help without being worried. Mostly, I hope that in the future the battle against leprosy can end. I believe this can happen if everyone works together. Want to find out more about our work? Visit our projects page

Having had my fair share of anxiety ridden Christmases, here's what I've learned about dealing with anxiety, stress and discomfort!
1. You don't need to spend the most money or buy the most extravagant gift in order to put a smile on someone's face. If they are worth buying for, they will appreciate whatever you buy them, and the thought that goes into it. Don't cripple yourself with the idea of finding the 'perfect' gift because in actual fact, they will just appreciate you being with them on Christmas day
2. I know a lot of people don't enjoy Christmas and find it difficult for a whole host of reasons so make sure you look after yourself properly. Eat well, don't drink so much that you forgot who you are, and make sure you get enough sleep. Especially if you suffer with a mental health problem, whether it be anxiety, depression, eating disorders etc. If you are in a healthy place, then you will find the whole festive period far easier
3. Don't let people force you to do something you aren't comfortable with. You don't have to partake in a mince pie eating contest if you don't want to. Nor do you have to sing karaoke if that's not your thing. Simply being present is more than enough! It's your Christmas day too, so that last thing anyone needs is added pressure and anxiety.
4. A huge mistake people make, is bottling up their emotions. Show your excitement, happiness, negativity, anger towards Christmas and talk about it. Many people convince themselves that no one cares or that they are being a nuisance, when clearly they aren't. If you need someone, go to a friend. They will be more than happy to talk to you and help you in whatever way possible.
5. Finally, Christmas is the perfect time to enjoy yourself. Embrace the food, drink, family, presents, music, films, jokes and games. Wear your Christmas jumper everyday (along with a Christmas pudding hat for me..)! It only comes once a year so challenge yourself, do something new, build a snowman, make some Christmas cards. Despite it sometimes being difficult for some, it really does only come once a year, and once it's gone, it's gone. You deserve to be happy at Christmas.

In Windows Vista or later, Microsoft introduced Windows Error Reporting (WER) feature. It usually detects hardware and software issues on Windows and report to Microsoft plus provides available solutions to users regarding the issues.
There is no need to additionally turn on Windows Error Reporting feature as it is enabled by default on your Windows operating system.
You won't notice this feature that is running in background, unless you receive Windows Error Reporting has stopped working message. In that case, the feature is crashing and you need to fix it.
Well, if you ever need to disable Windows Error Reporting feature and later need to enable again, here's how to do this.
How To Enable/Disable Windows Error Reporting In Windows 10/8.1/8/7
Registry Disclaimer: The further steps will involve registry manipulation. Making mistakes while manipulating registry could affect your system adversely. So be careful while editing registry entries and create a System Restore point first.
1. Press + R and put regedit in Run dialog box to open Registry Editor (if you're not familiar with Registry Editor, then click here). Click OK.
2. In left pane of Registry Editor window, navigate to following registry key:
3. Right click Windows registry key, select New > Key. Name the newly created sub-key as Windows Error Reporting. If the registry key already exists, skip creation of new key. Now in the right pane of Windows Error Reporting registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting), right click and select New > DWORD Value. Name the newly created registry DWORD (REG_DWORD) as Disabled. Double click on the DWORD to modify its Value data:
4. Finally set the DWORD Value data to 1 and this should disable Windows Error Reporting. Click OK, close Registry Editor and reboot the machine to make changes effective.
To re-enable Windows Error Reporting later, simply restore Disabled registry DWORD to 0 or delete it.
So this is how you can manage Windows Error Reporting feature in Windows 10.
That's it!

Years ago I dreaded Monday mornings! Why? Because I viewed them as the day that interrupted the bliss of my weekend. I remember waking up with a headache that wasn't caused from a hangover. But from a deep depression of having to go to my dreaded place of work and grind for another 5 days before the weekend euphoria set in again.
I spent years drudging through Monday morning, clock watching and lip pursing as I put my lipstick on in the ladies at 4:15pm awaiting the 4:30pm end of day close off. Coat, hat and bag all lined up at my desk in a row Continue reading

If you and your partner have established yourself as a married couple -- even through a Common-law union -- your divorce will perhaps be more "legal" than the marriage itself. In this country, the division of shared property must still be established by legal means.
You and your partner will be advised to get separate attorneys to handle the official disbursal of possessions. While your marriage will not need to be dissolved in a legal way per se, your shared assets will need to be legally divided.

Providing Constituent Support
One of the most important functions of a member of Parliament is to provide effective constituency support services. This means helping you navigate government processes. If you have a problem dealing with the federal government, we can sometimes help you address it.
Within a week after the election, my full constituency support team was up and running, serving the needs of the riding — even without an office. And I am glad that many of you have already been in touch about various areas where you need our help.
Since that time, we have identified a location for our constituency office to serve you more efficiently. Once open, it will be in the three-storey glass office building beside the Sherwood Park Mall, just east of the TD branch. We are very pleased with the opportunities that will come with this location. However, while the space is well suited to our needs, substantial renovations are required before it will be ready.
Until those renovations are complete, our full team will still be up and running and able to assist you, but working primarily off-site. The best way to get in touch with us is by e-mail, at email@example.com. E-mail is preferred, but you can also reach my constituency assistant, Daniel Schow, by phone at 587-337-7451.
When it comes to constituency services, our main role is to help people understand government processes and act as an advocate along the path to problem resolution. However, an MP's office cannot help with everything. There are some areas where hard and fast rules prevent us from achieving a desired outcome. In many cases, there are processes in place that must be observed. We cannot bend rules and we cannot arrange for anyone to skip vital steps in an application process. But we can help you get the information you need and we can advocate for you within the existing rules.
To better serve you, we are designing our office space to hold regular constituency roundtables to discuss key issues and your ideas. If you would like to participate in some of our upcoming roundtables, please get in touch with the office, and we will add you to our contact list.
We will also be setting up regular office hours at a location in Fort Saskatchewan so that constituents in and around that area will be able to access constituency services very close to home on a regular basis.
Once renovations are complete, we will be holding an open house in both Sherwood Park and Fort Saskatchewan so you can meet our team and check out the spaces we are using.
I look forward to serving in the coming years as your member of Parliament. As we cross into the holiday season, I want to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.
Garnett Genuis is the member of Parliament for Sherwood Park-Fort Saskatchewan. He can be contacted by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Genuis was first elected in October 2015.

WhatsApp calling feature now available on Android but you need a friend to get it
Reading Time: 2 minutes
|Whatsapp update now only for ANDROID users
If you use WhatsApp on Android, you can use this app not only to send and receive messages but also to ring up your friends. The calling feature is now rolling out to Android users. To get the feature, Android users need to update the app to the latest version and then find out a friend who already has the feature. Then ask the friend to call you using WhatsApp and voila! you will get the feature activated on your phone.
If someone who already has the WhatsApp calling feature tries to call a user who has the older version of the app, the message tells the user that the app needs to be updated.
While the calling feature is available in several other instant messaging apps, with nearly 600 million users WhatsApp is in a position to change the telecom industry with this feature.
The version of WhatsApp that supports calling is 2.11.528. Currently, it is not clear if Android Lollipop is required for the feature or not. Earlier, when WhatsApp was testing this feature in a limited way, it worked only on Android phones running the Lollipop.
The WhatsApp calling feature adds a new tab called calls into the app window. Under this tab, call history will be stored. Also, the feature adds a call icon on top of a chat window. We tried the feature on the Google nexus 5 phone. Although it also seems to have a bug that is stopping a few users from picking up the incoming call.
As it happens in other messaging apps, for the calls made using WhatsApp users will be charged only for the data consumption. They will not be charged for "call charges" that they have to pay for the regular calls.
Update 1: The WhatsApp calling feature doesn't require Android Lollipop. It also works on Android KitKat.
Update 2: While calling feature is available with WhatsApp Version 2.11.528, it is buggy. For the better experience, use the Version 2.11.531, which is available directly from WhatsApp website.

You've locked down plans for your fabulous wedding, but you and your soon-to-be spouse haven't decided how you're going to celebrate your next chapter as newlyweds. You've thought about heading to Mexico for your honeymoon, but you don't have any solid plans yet. What's your honeymoon style? Do you want to explore a small colonial town, take a whale-watching tour or go museum hopping? Vacation is here to help! From Cabo San Lucas to Mexico City to Cancun, we've pulled together five popular honeymoon destinations and day trips you should consider for a post-nuptial celebration.
1. Cabo San Lucas
Located on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, this popular resort city is known for its beaches, scuba diving locations, whale watching, deep-sea fishing and golf courses designed by golf pros Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus – it is known as "Latin America's Golf Capital." And in case you didn't know, Cabo San Lucas together with San José del Cabo is known as Los Cabos. That means newlyweds won't have a shortage of things to do and see here. Head down to the Marina (Downtown Cabo) to experience the city's vibrant nightlife and sample the fresh seafood at world-class restaurants. For honeymooners looking to explore more than the regular haunts, we recommend a private sailboat tour to the famous El Arco to spend the afternoon swimming and snorkeling on Lover's Beach. Or for a fun immersive jaunt, watch artisans demonstrate how they transform glass into exquisite artwork at the Glass Factory.
Where to Stay: We highly recommend Los Cabos – where the desert meets the sea! Honeymooners who want to be stay near the action – including tasty restaurants, shopping, hip nightspots and access to a variety of watersports – should consider staying in Cabo San Lucas. Large resort complexes with a grouping of pools, restaurants and bars in a center courtyard is commonplace here. Relax and maximize your pool time in the Corridor area – the route that hugs the shoreline and connects San Jose del Cabo with Cabo San Lucas. Book a suite for your sweet at one of many all-inclusive, beachfront resorts that offer spectacular balcony views of the Pacific Ocean, and where a few resorts are home to some of the best golf courses in the world. And in the north, San Jose del Cabo is a stark contrast to Cabo San Lucas. The quiet colonial town is perfect for laid-back newlyweds who enjoy walking the streets to browse through art galleries, clothing and jewelry stores usually stocked with local-handcrafted items. And the boutique-sized hotels here evoke the intimacy and comfort of private homes.
Day Trip: Explore the Baja Peninsula
If you want to get away, rent a car (or hire a driver) to explore one or more popular cities and towns in the Baja Peninsula. Start with an hour-drive to Todos Santos, a small village surrounded by the majestic Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and known for its art galleries. On your way, don't miss out on the small surfing towns and beaches, like San Pedrito and Los Cerritos. Feeling adventurous? Continue your road trip an hour north of Todos Santos to La Paz, an old colonial town and the capital city of Baja California.
Vacation Expert Tip: Couples visiting La Paz can take a boat ride to Isla Espiritu – a prime location for snorkeling, kayaking and spotting wildlife such as sea turtles, whales and whale sharks. One of Vacation's travel specialists can help you plan fun excursion with your new spouse!
2. Cancun
Located in southeastern Mexico on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cancun is the honeymoon destination for couples who enjoy shopping, dining at well-renown restaurants and celebrating at trendy nightclubs. Cancun is the most accessible beach destination in Mexico with nonstop flights from over 20 U.S. airports, and most of the hotels on Avenida Kukulkán are less than an hour transfer from the airport. White sand beaches, turquoise blue waters, and a variety of tours and excursions are just a few reasons why Cancun is a popular travel destination. Take a Playa del Carmen jungle tour, a cenote snorkeling excursion, a day trip to Chichén Itzá or visit the archeological sites in Tulum with the option of an underground river swim. The world is at your fingers tips with help from one of Vacation's travel agent.
Where to Stay: First you should know that Cancun is comprised of three main tourist areas: the town's resort strip (also known as the Hotel Zone), Playa Mujeres (north of Cancun) and Puerto Morelos (south of Cancun). Here's the 4-1-1 on where to stay. On the Northside of Cancun, honeymooners can book a hotel near calm waters with an amazing view of Isla Mujeres in the distance. High-rise hotels with white sand coastline (think Miami Beach in Mexico) is what you should expect if you stay on the eastside of Cancun. Newlyweds who enjoy golfing will appreciate the sprawling resorts and golf communities located from Playa Mujeres to the area north of downtown Cancun. Looking for large, all-inclusive resorts? Consider staying south of the airport near the small fishing village of Puerto Morelos.
Day Trip: Plan a Romantic Getaway to Isla Mujeres
While visiting Cancun, adventurous couples looking for a perfect day trip should consider taking the ferry from Puerto Juarez to visit Isla Mujeres. The ferry costs between $8 and $10 per person, and it leaves every 30 minutes between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. Honeymooners will appreciate this island because it's not crowded and has a quaint, small-town charm with roadside vendors selling their goods, including fresh coconuts and seashells. For $50, you can rent a golf cart for the entire day to get around the island to experience the sun, sand and surf at beautiful Playa Norte, visit the cliff-side sculpture gardens at Punta Sur and check out the Turtle Farm in Tortugranja (the south side of the island). After your unforgettable experience with sea turtles, head back downtown to drop of your golf cart and grab a cocktail at a local bar to watch the sunset before heading back to Cancun.
Vacation Expert Tip: Spend more time on Isla Mujeres! A Vacation travel agent can book a room for you at a luxury resort featuring a 5-star restaurant that serves fresh seafood and an infinity pool with the perfect view of the ocean. Feeling adventurous? We can help you arrange an excursion to swim with whale sharks, too!
3. Playa Del Carmen
Once a small fishing village, Playa del Carmen is now a vibrant town with shops that sell everything from homemade leather belts and silver jewelry to standard souvenirs (think t-shirts, mugs and key chains). Yes, there are American restaurant chains here, but we recommend trying the locally-owned restaurants where it's not uncommon for chefs to cook and personally serve your food. And you can't leave Playa del Carmen without having a fresh seafood meal on the patio of a local eatery – where you can enjoy an authentic meal paired with beautiful weather.
Where to Stay: Playa del Carmen is for couples who want to stay in luxe oceanfront accommodations and experience a variety of things to see and do, including beautiful beaches and a lively nightlife when the sun goes down. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Puerto Aventuras is a laid-back alternative to Playa de Carmen, which is just 14 miles north of this slow-paced locale. Home to almost 6,000 people, this quiet town is divided into two parts: west of Highway 307 is the residential subdivision, and to the east of the highway (along the Caribbean coast) is the tourist zone with hotels and resorts, which is part of Riviera Maya. Nature lovers will enjoy a secret swim in a nearby Cenote Azul and Cenote Cristalino, or visit eco-park Kantun Chi. And 26 miles south of Puerto Aventuras, Tulum is the hot spot for history buffs who enjoy learning about Mayan archeological sites and relaxing on white sand beaches with crystal blue waters lapping at their toes. Most people take a cab to Playa del Carmen to hit the bars and nightclubs, but that can get expensive. And the hotels that line the beaches here are varying degrees between rustic and luxe accommodations.
Day Trips: Theme Park Hopping to Xel-Há, Xplor and Xcaret
Newlyweds looking for a day trip to experience Mexico's natural habitat and culture should consider visiting one of three popular theme parks: Xcaret, Xel-Há and Xplor. Couples seeking an immersive experience should consider a day trip to Xcaret, located 6 miles south of Playa del Carmen. Cultural and wildlife highlights include the Mexican Folk Art Museum, Mayan archeological sites, pre-Hispanic dances, the "Xcaret Mexico Espectacular," the Coral Reef Aquarium, the Butterfly Pavilion and the Island of Jaguars. At Xplor, just an 8-minute drive from Xcaret, honeymooners can take a zip-line tour or explore caves and underwater rivers on an amphibious ATV. And about 30 miles south of Playa del Carmen, Xel-Há Park is perfect for couples who like to stay active during their vacay. Go snorkeling to explore the marine life in the park's amazing coves and cenotes; hop on a bike for a fun trek through the jungle; or take a relaxing inner tube ride across a river with your new spouse.
Vacation Expert Tip: Consult with one of Vacation's travel specialists to help you determine which park fits your honeymoon personality or if you're considering a visit to more than one park. Maximize your fun with a travel agent!
4. Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is where Mexico's majestic mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. This city is known for its beautiful city center with cobblestone streets as well as its local art galleries, shopping and 5-star restaurants. Head to Pueblo Viejo and stroll along the beachside promenade downtown where old-world traditions meet trendy pop culture. Fishing, snorkeling, golfing and ATV excursions are just a few fun activities that will keep newlyweds busy.
Where to Stay: Puerto Vallarta's Hotel Zone and Marina Vallarta are just a few miles from the city's airport and right on the waterfront. Popular Playa Los Muertos is located on the city's southern side, where expansive luxury resorts near beautiful stretches of sand are easy to find. Stay in El Centro if you want to explore the city's oldest architecture and streets, including the renowned Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Hidalgo Street. North and east of the city are popular pueblos or towns that offer a less commercialized and more authentic glimpse of the Mexican lifestyle. If small towns and watersports are more your thing, you may want to consider staying in a beach town like Punta Mita or colonial town like San Blas. A Vacation travel agent can book your accommodations based on your honeymoon style.
Day Trip: Take a Tequila Tasting Tour
Get in the spirit! Newlyweds can book a tequila tasting tour to see how the popular liquor is made from the blue agave plant. Learn about the differences and characteristics between the various types of the tequila as you taste them. Rancho Verano Distilleria de Tequila and Tequila Mama Lucia are a couple places in Puerto Vallarta that offer tastings and tours.
Vacation Expert Tip: Need more day-trip options? Go shopping in Guadalajara for handmade goods (i.e. pottery, jewelry, soap, glassware, furniture); go surfing in the ex-pat town of Sayulita; get some sun, sand and surf on a secluded beach in Yelapa; or go whale-watching near the Marietas Islands. Leave the planning to us… a Vacation travel expert can customize a fun day-trip excursion for you!
5. Mexico City
One the largest cities in the world, Mexico City can be an alternative to newlyweds looking for an urban escape rather than a beach getaway. Celebrity chef-owned restaurants, more than 150 museums, and the Teotihuacan Pyramids are a few things to keep you and your beloved busy. Take a stroll down Avenida Michoacán to check out the hip boutiques along La Condesa's main drag. Take a break or two at a popular outdoor café to watch the world go by. Visit one of the oldest Latin American cathedrals (Metropolitan Cathedral); take a romantic boat ride through a series of man-made islands in Xochimilco; take a tour of the Soumaya Museum where more than 60,000 works of art, including art by famous artists such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Vincent van Gough. History buffs have found the perfect haven to explore Mexican cultural at its best… in Mexico City!
Where to Stay: It may be hard to find a quiet respite in the middle of a city with 20 million residents, but a Vacation travel agent can help you book a room at an urban resort located in Mexico city's elite neighborhood near major businesses, boutiques and attractions. Stay in a contemporary suite with luxurious amenities, including an aromatherapy kit, a bathroom with a multi-jet tub and walk-in shower, a personal concierge service and a spa that offers revitalizing treatments using ancestral techniques.
Day Trip: Experience Picture-Perfect Puebla
Need a break from the city? Take a 2-hour road trip to Puebla (southeast of Mexico City), where history and modernity strike a beautiful balance. This city is renowned for its colonial-era charms, colorful buildings adorned with painted ceramic tiles and a thriving art scene. A well-preserved city center and awe-inspiring cathedrals will appeal to honeymooners who are history lovers. And foodies can discover a long history of traditional, regional cuisine at local restaurants.
Vacation Expert Tip: Don't miss the world-renowned Ballet Folklórico de México perform traditional folk dances at the Palacio de Ballas Artes or Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. Foodies will be happy to know that 50 regional cuisines from across Mexico can be found in this city and that fine dining options are available at modest prices. Buen provecho!

Leonard Mlodinow — Randomness and ChoiceMay 1, 2014
Fundamental forces of physics somehow determine everything that happens, as physicist Leonard Mlodinow has written, "from the birth of a child to the birth of a galaxy." Yet he has intriguing perspective on the gap between theory and reality — and the fascinating interplay between a life in science and life in the world. As the child of two Holocaust survivors, he asks questions about our capacity to create our lives, while reflecting on extreme human cruelty — and courage.

Hospitals and Large Groups Must File with Attorney General
In a new law that came into effect on October 1st, the State of Connecticut is increasing filing requirements for hospitals and large medical practices of eight or more physicians. Public Act Number 14-168, titled "An Act Concerning Notice of Acquisition, Joint Ventures, Affiliations of Group Medical Practices and Hospital Admissions, Medical Foundations and Certificates of Need.", will require incidence and yearly filings for hospitals and medical practices that are making changes to their business or corporate structure.
First, the law requires that any group or hospital given written notice to the Attorney General within 30 days of any change in corporate or business structure if:
- The merger, consolidation or affiliation of a group practice with a hospital or another group practice resulting in a group of eight or more doctors;
- The acquisition by one group of all or substantially all of the property, assets, stock or membership interest in a hospital or another group resulting in a group of eight or more doctors;
- The employment by one group of all or substantially all of the physicians of a hospital or another group resulting in a group of eight or more physicians; and
- The acquisition of an insolvent group practices by another hospital or another group practice resulting in a group of eight or more doctors.
The written notice shall identify each party to the transaction and explain the material change in the business or organizational structure. More specifically, the notice must include a description of the nature of the proposed relationship, the names and specialties of each physician, the names of the business entities under which medical services will be provided after the change, the address of each location at which the medical services will be rendered, a description of the medical services that will be provided at each location, and the primary service area that will be covered by each location.
The new law also demands a yearly follow up filing, to be filed no later than December 31 of each year, detailing the same information as is required on the initial filing. However, the follow up filings are limited to hospitals and group practices of thirty or more physicians only.
Due to the recent changes in the medical industry, many physicians have joined hospital systems or formed medical groups, to share risk and expenses. This new law seeks to gain information on these larger medical service providers, and to keep updated records on their hospital or group size, the services they render, and the areas they cover, by placing the burden of providing this information on the medical service providers themselves.
The Law Office of Eugene Glouzgal is proud to specialize in the legal business needs of Connecticut's medical services providers. If you are a medical services provider in Connecticut and need assistance in creating your business entity and acquiring licenses and/or staying current with the mandatory filings of the State of Connecticut, please contact us today to discuss our legal consulting services.

The Active Directory Users and Computers console has a nice feature that allows you to copy a user account. This is especially helpful in
situations where you want to create a "template" user account that contains mandatory information shared by all of your users. When you attempt
to copy a user account, you'll notice that not all of the fields are included in the copy process. This is by design.
For instance if you want to include additional attributes in the copy process, you'll need to modify the searchFlags attribute.
You'll need to use the ADSI Edit utility. In addition, you can only modify this setting for attributes that are members of the User Class.
If you attempt to do this using the Active Directory Schema, the option to do so is unavailable, even if you log in as a member of the Schema

According to a Nikkei insider, Nintendo's upcoming NX console will run Android.
Up until now, all of Nintendo's consoles and handhelds have run off their own proprietary operating systems. But, an insider from leading Japanese business newspaper Nikkei is now claiming that this won't be the case for Nintendo's mysterious upcoming NX console, which he claims will use Google's popular mobile OS: Android.
The insider explained that the usage of Android "would be able to speed up getting all game developers on board." He added it would also mean that development could be expanded to smartphones, tablets, and other devices, something Nintendo is currently experimenting with.
If true, rather than simply running the same Android that is on your phone, the new console would run an OS that is based on Android, just like everyone's favorite Android-based console: the Ouya.
The newspaper reports that the reasoning for the chance also stems from Nintendo's traditionally poor third-party support. The Wii U is not compatible with other consoles, which makes cross-platform development quite difficult (something that devs such as Ubisoft and Activision have no qualms lamenting).
Nikkei has had a pretty good track record with Nintendo rumors before, most recently correctly revealing Nintendo's plans to enter the smartphone sector earlier this year.

When was the last time you got a sticker? If it was back in elementary school atop a spelling test you aced, then you've got some catching up to do.
Stickers are all the rage when it comes to mobile messaging. They are bigger, fancier — sometimes even animated — versions of emoticons and emoji, those smiley, winking and frowning faces we've been using in email for years. They can act as a sort of bridge between emoticon/emoji and Internet mainstays such as GIFs and memes:
Remember: Things move fast in mobile communication. Cell phones have only been must-have consumer devices for the last 10-15 years. Texting has gained ubiquitous popularity during just the last five. Now, people are abandoning texting in favor of mobile messaging apps like BBM.
Today, consumers on the leading edge aren't even using words anymore.
Stickers are absolutely part of our monetization strategy. Now that BBM lives independently of the BlackBerry operating system and devices, it has its own business model: to become a platform for engaging with the mobile economic ecosystem. How do animated stickers fit into that grand scheme?
People love 'em
Consumers love stickers. According to November, 2013 research from OnDevice, 40% of smartphone owners actively use stickers, and 20% of sticker users have purchased them at least once. As those numbers are nine months old, they've almost certainly increased by now.
The whole sticker craze started in Asia, where typing out messages in characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Zhuang) can be tedious and slow.
They can get the job done in a few taps when thumb-typing what you need to say could take upwards of 20 strokes, and can also help you communicate when words fail.
From a business perspective, stickers are a great way to monetize because they enhance the BBM experience, instead of bogging it down..
They don't slow it down or interrupt you. Instead, they're just quietly waiting for you in the BBM Shop should you want to employ a Frozen, South Park or Paul Frank character to convey a particular feeling or provoke a laugh.
And if you never want to buy stickers, you don't have to. But come on: they'll only set you back a dollar or two.
And they're fun!
Surprise: Stickers Make Money
Japanese messaging app Line kicked off the current trend when it announced its earnings from stickers in Q1 2013: $17 million. In case anyone thought that was a fluke, Line followed up in Q2 with $27.4 million in sticker sales. The numbers have stayed impressively high ever since.
Another messaging and VoIP app, Viber (which sold to Japan's online retailer Rakuten for $900 million earlier this year), revealed that during the first three months it offered stickers, its 300 million users downloaded 100 million packs (both free and paid).
And the revenue isn't just from consumers.
Line and others also offer branded stickers. Users can "friend" a brand within the app to get its stickers. For example, a Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel Sanders collection was popular with Line users during the last Christmas season. Line reportedly charges brands $100,000 for the privilege.
Additionally, two characters from Line's original sticker collections have made the leap to the real world: Brown the bear and Cony the rabbit are now available as plush toys, figurines, phone cases, and other gadgets.
Stickers have now become 'table stakes' in the mobile messaging world, from both a business and consumer perspective.
Blazing a Trail
Not only are stickers crowd-pleasers and revenue-generators, they're also trailblazers. Stickers pave the way for payments, and introduce users to the idea to that a messaging app can become a content distribution platform.
The first time you click the button to buy a sticker pack from the BBM Shop (Why not? They're fun!), you may wonder what's going to happen: How will BBM collect your money?
Good question.
BlackBerry isn't interested in becoming a bank. We are, instead, integrating with established payment providers. On your mobile, that depends on what platform you're using: BlackBerry users pay through their account on BlackBerry World, Android users' purchases go through Google Play, iPhone purchases leverage iTunes accounts, and Windows Phone users transact through the Windows Phone store. We also offer direct-to-carrier billing as well. A few clicks take care of it. You get your stickers immediately, with your electronic receipt following in short order.
It's easy!
So easy, in fact, that sticker purchasers will have a good experience under their belts, and not hesitate to buy more stickers or other virtual goods and services down the road.
Payment infrastructure: established.
Growing the Relationship with the Customer
From there, the roadmap is relatively simple: Other messaging apps are selling themes, games, virtual goods inside games (strength, energy, the ability to skip levels, etc.), and other content, even actual goods. Really, the sky's the limit.
It's no secret, as evidenced by some substantial investments made lately. I already mentioned Rakuten, one of the largest e-commerce retailers in the world, buying Viber. Alibaba, the largest online and mobile commerce company in the world in terms of gross merchandise volume, has invested $215 million in Tango. China-based WeChat is forging ahead with innovative offerings including selling smartphones, fruits, movie tickets, taxi rides, even health insurance.
Stickers are really just the tip of the iceberg; the distant roar of the coming tsunami.
Beyond Hot Dog Emoji: Giving the People What They Want
If you're new to the sticker bandwagon, you can get your feet wet with the BBM sticker pack, which is free in the BBM Shop. Others sell for $0.99-$1.99, and come in packs of 20-25. Packs feature all your favorite (or your kids' or grandkids' favorite) Disney characters from Frozen and Toy Story, as well as a dedicated pack for Mickey Mouse and Disney Villains.
You'll also find kid's cartoon characters Shaun the Sheep and Julius the Monkey by Paul Frank, plus lots of original characters created just for us by talented artists and illustrators. We have packs to help you cheer on sports teams and celebrate holidays, and we're adding more every week.
We are all about giving people what they want, as evidenced by the only-in-BBM hot dog emoji.
If you have any requests for stickers, tell us about it here – We'll look into it.

I have a problem with a fresh install. Everything ok but when I log in to the backend I can not see the page well because I crawl bugs on both the CSS and the JAVASCRIPT resource paths.
What could be the problem?
I also attach pictures to show you the problem.
Thank you
You might want to check out this issue: https://github.com/AsgardCms/Platform/issues/434. I resolved it by doing what richardfeliciano suggested and it fixed it. Perhaps not the ideal solution but it works for now.
Hi, Have you solve the issue? I have solved the icon issue by running
- npm install
- npm run dev
These 2 commands in AdminLte folder
Now i can see the icons but CSS and JS files are still not found. I can't see any thing in pages tab
modify the file: \public\mix-manifest.json
and set the correct path for '/js/app.js' and '/css/app.css'
After this i get no error in the console but still i can't see anything in the Page module.
I deleted all files and reinstalled it again via asgardcms and now it works.

Thirty-Day Movie Challenge: Day Twenty-Three
30 Day Movie Challenge
Day Twenty-Three: Film That Inspires You:
Slacker (1991)
Directed by: Richard Linklater
Starring: Richard Linklater, Stella James, Marc Weir
Slacker was another one of those glorious accidental discoveries. I couldn't sleep, I switched on what I believe was IFC, and there it was. The movie had just started. Had just opened on that wonderful, completely random scene of a man (writer-director Richard Linklater, who has almost always managed to blow me away) getting in a cab, rambling through some story about how he should have stayed at the bus station. There's more to it than that, but I won't go into it, if you haven't had the distinct pleasure of seeing it for yourself. Describing and much of the movie is difficult. Impossible in the sense that it's immensely tricky for me to relate with words what you should see for yourself.
For example, wouldn't you like to know which one of these guys has probably been drinking a bit too much coffee?
Obviously, I'm going to try and relate my love of this independent (back when that meant something, or at least back when it meant more than it does now), but I'm just saying that it's going to be difficult. It might help if you take my word for it now, see the movie and then get back to me.
Maybe. It couldn't hurt. This is one of those times when I feel as though I can only write for the people who have already seen it. I'll try to keep the rest of you in mind.
Anyone who has ever successfully managed to listen to me for more than five minutes without running me over knows that the eventual goal of all this writing I do is to eventually get a chance to make a film. Hopefully, you've been paying attention to these rambling thoughts on films, but if you haven't it might be worth noting that my greatest creative passion through the years has been filmmaking. I've never been to college (and there's a good chance I probably never will get to go), so I've tried to give myself the best education possible with the vocation I'd like to spend the rest of my life in. Acting is fun, but I want to put the whole thing together. I watch movies for pure entertainment, but I also try to pay attention to the ones that really blow my hair (what little of it there usually is) back. Should I ever get an opportunity I want to at least have a rough idea of what I need to do. It's an overwhelming, intimidating vocation. I barely know where to begin. Just writing the scripts I've written has had a difficult learning curve going for it.
Film inspires me for all kinds of different reasons. Some encourage me in the whole ridiculous thing of making a movie. Slacker has been a fixture on that last since seeing it in on TV that night. It was around 1999, and it's unreal how much time has just flown past me since. The film is certainly a product of its time in certain ways (the way Austin was at that time, the whole Generation-X vibe), but in its most important ways, it doesn't seem like something that belongs in a time capsule. This is largely due to the fact that I know people like this still exist. Slacker captures a long-gone time and place, but people like the character's of the film's world haven't gone anywhere. Take out the inspirational aspect of the film, and it's the characters that I love the most about Slacker. I know people along those lines. I've known a couple of guys like the Kennedy fanatic. I've seen friends compel a buddy to hurl something that belonged to his ex-girlfriend over a bridge (it was a moving car in my experience). I've run into people trying to sell things eerily similar to a piece of Madonna pap smear.
I've encountered dozens of real-life counterparts for the wide array of wonderful, believable and engaging personalities that make up Slacker. They're one of my favorite things about traveling so much. Linklater uses non-actors and unknowns to bring them to life. That helps considerably with the realism and strength of their portrayals. Almost every performance here gets me in some way. A few are more interesting than others, but all are memorable.
Slacker is one the films I've paid the most attention to as an on-again, off-again unofficial film student. It's also served as a long-standing influence on not only the few screenplays I've written but also on a great deal of the other things I write. It's living proof of function winning out over form. At first glance it looks like a two-hour vacation film. Everything about the movie suggests a concept that just barely managed to be realized. Linklater is still going strong as a filmmaker. He would use this loose, multi-character story structure again in Dazed and Confused. He then moved from that to make a startling range of films. His resume includes the surreal adaptation of A Scanner Darkly to the straight-forward, commercial remake of The Bad News Bears. Slacker is still the reigning champion for my favorite of his filmography. It was not the first film to use this kind of wandering structure, giving us one character's life for a moment, and then switching to another when they pass someone on the street. Not the first, but it's one of the best. I think that's because Slacker represents a mindset and culture unique to not only its era but to the city in which it was filmed. There aren't twenty or thirty films exactly like Slacker (although I know there are numerous films and documentaries that certainly seek to evoke a similar spirit).
As far as I know, this is the only one.
That doesn't automatically grant it greatness, and there will always be some who just can't get into a movie like this. Slacker feels like the sort of thing in which a camera just happened to be around by coincidence. That kind of thing can annoy tastes that prefer stories to be a bit more linear and focused. Slackers is pretty easy to follow, and it has a linear form of sorts, but it's not the kind of linear everyone tends to expect from their movies. To some Slacker may just seem like a whole lot nothing. Nothing in the way of the point and nothing in the way of a real story or meaningful, deep characters.
The structure, story (such as it is) and characters work just fine for me, and it seems to work pretty well for a lot of others. Slacker opts for a far-less traditional breed of storytelling and filmmaking at almost every turn. Less-than-traditional, but it works as both a compelling, funny and strange story, and as a lesson to anyone who wants to make movies on their own time. It proves that a good story, a great cast and an endless amount of creative enthusiasm can potentially override anything else that might be working against you. There isn't a suggestion of a guaranteed artistic victory, but at least it conveys the fact that it can be done.
Slacker comes out of a different filmmaking era. This is very true. It's also true that a whole lot more has to happen than what I listed above for a movie to go from idea to finished cut. I keep this mind, and I still choose to consider Slacker an inspiration.
I'll watch Slacker because it's just a great movie. My favorite scene remains the one in which a young man (Michael Laird) has his life changed by breaking into the home of an old anarchist (the great writer and Philosophy teacher, Louis H. Mackey). It's the most appealing scene in the film, and one that had a tremendous impact on me. That kind of thing can indeed happen in the real world, and it perfectly illustrates a fundamental about Slacker that nothing in its celluloid world is artificial. Coincidence can change someone's life, and we are sometimes most altered by the random. I'd love to know what happened to that burglar the next day.
I love this movie, but I continue to pay the most attention to its biology. Hopefully, I'll get a chance someday to see if I can create something worthwhile out of what's available to me. Filmmakers are out there doing that right now. That gives me a steady line of hope. It reminds me that it's not easy, but it's not impossible either.

With 41 million likes on Facebook, "Fast & Furious 6" star Vin Diesel is one of the most popular celebrities on the social networking site.
But how did the action star create such a successful online persona? He got in the game early.
"What Facebook didn't realise is something very big was about to happen, and that was — for the first time in history, and it's kind of a fluke they didn't see this coming — when I jumped on that page in April 2009, I started talking to people. In the realest ways," Diesel tells Entertainment Weekly in a new interview.
"So, when I had started my page, the only person that had a million fans was Barack Obama. Because it was first-quarter 2009, and he'd just got elected as President, because of social media," Diesel explains. "So, when I started talking to the fans, I became the No. 1 page in the world. Over Coca-Cola, over huge companies. And it was only because I said: 'Hi, guys, I love you.'"
The 45-year-old actor continues, "Imagine if you could've been a Facebook friend to Marlon Brando, or whoever your role models are. Imagine, if you were able to Facebook Elvis, and talk to him, and hear from him without the Hollywood of it all. That was the 'Fast & Furious' experience."
"I think Hollywood, and the choices Hollywood has made, would've been radically different if Clark Gable had 40 million people on his Facebook page," Diesel added.
At one point, Diesel was the number one fan page in the world — and even Facebook corporate didn't understand why.
Diesel says the Facebook team asked him "to come up to their office to explain what the f— I was doing, and why I had so many fans."
"Facebook really owes me billions of dollars," he jokes. "But whatever."

Ecommerce Fashion Boutique Business Plan Template
An e-commerce business is one that exists solely online, without a physical component'"unlike a brick-and-mortar business, which exists as a physical store. The e-business concept describes the rationale of the business, its goals and vision, and products or offerings from which it will earn revenue. Schooley Mitchell Telecom Consultants is the #1 Business Consulting Franchise in North America in a 16 billion dollar industry, growing at 12% annually. Kabir leads investments in technology, consumer and financial services at Eight Roads Ventures India (formerly Fidelity Growth Partners). We believe your web site should be a tool to build your bottom line; should meet your business objectives; and MUST work well with existing business applications and marketing materials.

Just 11 percent of small business owners say they created their own site using their own skills to do so.

Here are a few provisions that you should think about including in any contract for the sale of an e-commerce business.
Amazingly, in less than two years, the app has been downloaded more than 14 million times Corey Epstein, co-founder and creative director of DSTLD , predicts virtual reality-enabled online multimedia shopping experiences will be huge in 2016. When your site contains enough sellers and products, you may begin marketing your eCommerce website to potential customers. There are technical valuations of businesses based on ROI, and then value based on how saleable the owner has made the business, and how comfortable a new owner would feel running it.
Because this section is a summary of the rest of the plan this is the one you will write last. Whether you plan to jump into the market right away, or delay the process, you must have a plan. So you need to focus on those issues which have biggest impact on the business bottomline.

You can start small by designing a few kid-friendly apps and see where your business goes from there. Ecommerce is a great way for bricks and mortar stores to expand their customer base, as well as a great platform for dreamers to start great businesses, after all was a little ecommerce store once. From an investment standpoint, most eCommerce businesses sell for between 2 – 3 times annual net profit, which means an annual return on investment of 33% – 50%. The third section of the business plan will further describe the services offered by the E-Commerce Website. E.g. Xiaomi launched all of its phones and other products exclusively in partnership with FlipKart in India. We'll also think about what not to do when starting an Ecommerce business from scratch. As an eCommerce business owner, one should stay active on social media and provide customer services, as fast as possible. Buyers in businesses can be quite restricted in how they procure products and services.
At this point, brick-and-mortar businesses can go off and work on securing real estate or a commercial space for their business.

Prior to joining Sequoia Capital, he served as the Senior Vice President at BhartiAirtel where he helped scale the business from a few states operation into a leading national wireless carrier. A huge proportion of businesses I talk to now have no offline presence and built their business to operate solely online. They also considered the Inventory Model in the past which terribly failed and now they publicly shrug that model as if they never thought about it. As ecommerce companies face rapid growth, the possibility of using terabytes of data and intense spikes in demand, they require a solution that can meet all of these challenges without imposing costly and complex IT demands. Their efforts were misguided because they were thinking of a subscription business as an ecommerce business.
This ecommerce model enables the online businesses to try out some new products without disbursing too much finance. As owner of my top-tip for growing your e-commerce business is to automate your operational tasks and for those that can't be automated then outsource.

You don't necessarily have to use an ecommerce template" as all of Squarespace's template can be used with ecommerce features.

As the new year approaches, make sure you take the time to work on your business, and not just in your business.

Sochi: Bob Costas 'Hoping I'm Back by the Weekend,' 'Certainly' for Second Half (Audio)
Bob Costas will be back to NBC's primetime Olympics coverage, the veteran sports broadcaster reassures.
VIDEO: Olympics: Obama, Bob Costas Chat About 'Tough Guy' Putin During Interview
After struggling with an eye infection -- which has likely been exacerbated by the studio lights and makeup -- since the start of the games, Costas stepped down from his platform in Sochi on Tuesday.
While "in isolation" in a Sochi hotel, as interviewer Ryan Seacrest described it, Costas gave an optimistic update on his recovery while calling in to Seacrest's morning radio show.
"Here's the thing -- I feel fine, which seems weird," he said with high spirits. "If you could remove my eye from the equation, which I admit is a rather large factor, I feel fine. I'm not really sick, but I have this eye infection, which has gone from my left eye to my right."
The NBC personality has hosted every Olympic Games since 1992 and has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of myriad obscure Olympic sports and athletes. Meanwhile, Matt Lauer has filled in as anchor for the past two nights.
"I did the first five nights wearing glasses, even though people could see how red and swollen my eyes were," he continued. "I didn't care because I could still function. I could still read the notes I had to read on the athletes and find my way around the studio. But then in the last 36 hours, it got to the point my vision became so blurry and sensitive to light, I can't even be in regular room light, let alone studio light. I couldn't be of any use to them."

He compared the NBC Olympics broadcasting team to the athletic teams he reports on, noting that he would normally continue on if dealing with a bad back or a headache, for the sake of the team. But with an eye infection, "you have involuntary reactions, and it's simply impossible."
Despite his current condition, he was full of humor: "When something like this -- and this is a bad pun -- both I and the situation have gone viral," he joked of his health status becoming a trending topic on the Internet, also adding that he and the NBC teams have received thousands of emails and calls from fans offering both clinical and home remedies. "Everybody's trying to help, and they're killing me with kindness."
Costas believes he'll soon return to the field to report on the Olympics in Sochi. "In sports, there's a term that they use for people who are on the injured list -- they say, 'He's day-to-day.' And I am day-to-day. I'm hoping that I'm back by the weekend and I certainly think I'll be able to do the second half of the games. The virus, they tell me, won't run its course for two or three weeks, but the symptoms will crest at their worst and start to get better pretty soon. As soon as the symptoms get to the point where I can be in the studio, I'll be there."
