Our design, marketing and R&D teams analyze current market trends to create innovative, eco-designed and functional packaging concepts, applying an approach which typifies CGL Pack's acute sense of innovation and imaginative observation of the markets.
An astute pack for salads and other fresh products which lets you dress the content without opening the pack. No risk of projections since you shake the pack without opening it. After partial consumption, the pack can be reclosed.
This packaging concept lets you dress your salad without danger for your fingers: squeeze the sauce compartment, the sauce is liberated and all that remains to be done is to shake the pack, open it and enjoy your dish.
Food trays for meat and fish often include an absorbent pad to capture the product's juices, no longer needed if you choose Absorpack®, a honeycomb base that does the same job but adds an excellent presentation for your products.
With the Clipseal 2 Clips packaging solution, you can eat part of the product at a time whilst keeping the remainder fresh: the cover can be replaced on the tray and the 2 clips under the seal hold the film in place to reclose the pack without needing a lid.
The principle of this packaging solution is simple: the tray is sealed with a plastic film plus a cardboard insert; the two can be instantly separated and the cardboard insert can be repositioned on the tray for continued protection of the contents in the event of only partial consumption.

Dear Mr. Knight:
As I am leaving Florida today on an extended trip
and probably will not see you until next winter, I
shall not have the opportunity to personally compli¬
ment you on your Sunday, March 24th editorial in
"The Editor's Notebook". I read this very clear
and concise article with keen interest and found in
it a message that I wish it were possible for every
citizen in our nation to read.
As I have followed your editorials through many
months, I have often times thought how unfortunate
it is that we do not have more newspapers that dis¬
play the courage and principles yet maintain the
dignity of John S. Knight.
I am sure that this fact has not gone unnoticed by
those who have had the privilege of reading your
editorials but I wanted to express my own personal
appreciation for the great service you are doing for
the American public.
Kindest personal regards.
Very sincerely yours.
Mr. John S. Knight, Editor & Publisher

Denver 911 provides residents with disabilities numerous ways to communicate with 911, as well as a registry that helps ensure police provide appropriate response services during an emergency.
In addition to TTY services, deaf, hard of hearing, and residents with speech disabilities can now text or email Denver 911 to report emergency and non-emergency situations occurring in Denver and around the metro area.
Text Message: (303) 513-6909
Text Message: (720) 491-0866
Text Message: (720) 723-8911
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Be sure to text or email the following information:
TTY is an electronic device for text communication with infdividuals who are deaf. The device uses a series of tones which allow users to communicate via a keyboard and telephone interface at 911. Deaf and hard of hearing community members are encouraged to maintain a TTY machine to access 911 when a text pager or email is unavailable.
Denver's 911 call takers are trained on the use of the TTY and check all 911 hang-ups and "silent" phone calls or "open lines" using both voice and TTY commands to verify if a member of the deaf or hard of hearing community is on the line.
You may now submit information about yourself or other members of your household who have disabilities in order to help 911 respond appropriately during an emergency. Your information will remain confidential and will give officers advance warning about your circumstance prior to responding.
This form should not be used to report emergencies. If you have a current emergency, please call 911 immediately.

On Friday 25 September I attended the European Digital Communication Awards in Berlin. It's the fifth time since it was launched in 2011 that I participate as a jury member, and it's always a great learning experience.
Jury member, a tough but rewarding job
As a jury member at the Digital Awards you don't get to decide on the 34 awards to hand out: that would take several days! Instead, you are assigned to 4-5 categories in which the shortlisted projects are presented to you in a short 8-min pitch by the project owners (either by the organisation itself or their agency).
Every year I get assigned different categories and learn from the best European communication projects. I feel very privileged! And while some years have been easy on me as a jury member, with easy choices to make, this year I have experienced a lack of consensus in some categories.
In some cases it was because the projects presented were all of a very high standard, as in the Online Event category, which was won by two fantastic projects:
- the Planica 2015 virtual ski experience using VR orchestrated by Zavarovalnica Triglav. What I liked most about this project is that they managed to create an emotional connection between a flagship event for Slovenian people and their own brand. They did this by staying fully aligned with their core business and brand promise (insurance company promoting a dangerous experience but in a safe context, also leveraging the fact that their company name and logo refers to the main mountain in Slovenia). They also jumped on the VR bandwagon but in a thoughtful and re-usable fashion, moving away from the hype to actually create a useful product that can even serve for athletes' training.
- the live Twitter coverage of the Philae robot landing on a comet. This latter project won my heart by demonstrating that public institutions (in this case a consortium led by the German Space Agency ) can communicate with citizens in a humane, humorous and relevant way even on the most technical subject, and in real time. It's a great case for us to learn from in the EU institutions.
In other cases it was more difficult because projects were so different: different budgets, different ways to evaluate impact and results, different levels of engagement with key audiences, different overall levels of ambition.
Sometimes projects were clearly below standards or were assigned to the wrong categories by the project owners. But the overall trend I spotted – and this is not new – is the lack of proper evaluation and impact measurement. It's not that the tools or data are not available, it's more that from the very start the expectations and ambition levels are not clearly defined. When asked about what success looks like on a project, many communicators are only able to provide an answer once the campaign is over, and more often than not by focusing on the figures (no. of followers, of views, etc.). How many times did I hear that this campaign is to 'raise awareness'…
In the end, you can only vote with the information you receive, ie the description of the project in the jury package and the live presentation of the shortlisted project. If the presentation is a mess, this has an impact on your judgment, even if the project sounds like an awesome product launch or an innovation social media strategy.
The winners: watch out for…
Among the winning projects, I would recommend paying attention to the following, some of which have been regular winners at the European digital awards. I'm sure the comms people in these organisations would be more than happy to share more insights with you if you ask.
- Strategy of the Year: Sky News' social media strategy for the UK General Election 2015 coverage. If you haven't watched Sky News' video teaser, you missed out on a great viral campaign! The whole campaign by the way s wonderfully orchestrated and Sky News reached a total of 10 million video views, 10 million referrals to the Sky News website as well as worldwide and UK Twitter trending content during the campaign period.
- Innovation of the Year: the AkzoNobel Visualizer allows paint consumers to visualize walls in different colours and shades, in real time, before applying a single drop of paint. This app sounds like something easy to implement but it's not! Akzo Nobel developed groundbreaking technology to make the user experience very smooth and seamless. The challenge for Akzo Nobel now will be to make sure the app is actually used to by their paint, but it's still a great marketing coup!
- NGO: I'm proud that colleagues from the EU's Humanitarian Office were recognised for their contribution to the Disaster Resilience Journal campaign, co-launched with the International Red Cross among others. They used a web documentary in 11 languages and combined it with clever (social) media outreach and live events to reach a total of 125 million sessions, impressions and participants. Considering the technicality of the topic, this is quite a feat.
- Institutions: the German Federal Ministry of transport launched a campaign to invite kids to wear their bike helmets, calling on Darth Vader to make helmet wearing 'cool'. The fact that the hashtag they created #dankhelm generated a meme and is still used months after the campaign is testimony to the success of their initiative. Walt Disney also allowed free use of the Darth Vador character, which also explains the fantastic results achieved through the campaign.
- Not a winner but I also really liked the angle adopted by the Herosz animal shelter campaign in Hungary.They turned traditional representation of animal shelters upside down by running an online campaign featuring a joyous shelter dog and asking people to finance one hour of happiness for the animals in the shelter. Thanks to the campaign, they collected enough money for the shelter to operate for a full year. This clearly demonstrated how positive messaging can help engage online users more and generate more donations than the traditional gloomy campaigns.
There are also companies whose name crop up every year among the winners: Jyske Bank (for their amazing use of video), Volvo, Heineken, Mattel, Maersk Line, Vodafone. It's well worth checking out their winning entries and looking at their recipes for digital success.
All the winners and shortlisted entries are available with a short description at www.digital-awards.eu.

What do wonderwoman and heavy lifting have in common?
Probably nothing, but it sounded like a pretty kick ass title!
It's been a long time since I have written anything and the last few months were crazy for me as a coach.
After 10 years in the Marine Corps you would think that crunches would be my favorite exercise, right? Well after a few years of research and learning from some of the greatest fitness professionals in the world, I have come to find out that crunches are the enemy to developing a strong core and a sexy six-pack.
Today is our first installment of exercises that you should include in your routine.
By now, I am sure that most of you have heard about Barbell Hip Thrusts.
Lets reflect on last week….What is it that you really want? What is your real goal? Is it really to lose weight?
Alright guys, here is the first part of a 7 part series of going after what you want and achieving your goals for the body you have always wanted.
From the day I stepped on those yellow footprints on Parris Island, standing tall and upright became more than just an option, it was a way of life.
Nearly three years ago today, I made the decision to leave the Marine Corps. After deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and 10 years of faithful service to the country and corps, it was one of the toughest decisions I ever had to make.
Hi, I'm GEORGE
Join the MARINE STRONG community and receive your ultimate starter kit.

Land and Property: Transfer of a Going Concern
The VAT People provides support and guidance for businesses with regards to every aspect of the VAT process, including transfer of a going concern (TOGC). We can help organisations, whether they are a purchaser or seller, to draft necessary clauses in contracts to ensure you are fully compliant with the rules regarding complex processes.
Our specialist team has many years of experience in this complicated area, and are best placed to offer any guidance necessary. We have helped many businesses to navigate the TOGC process, and can answer any queries you may have.
Contact The VAT People by calling our helpline on 0161 477 6600, or fill out an enquiry form and we will be in touch at a convenient time.
What is TOGC for VAT purposes?
Usually, the sale of the assets of a VAT-registered or VAT registerable business will be subject to VAT at the appropriate rate. However, a TOGC is the sale of a business including assets that is treated as a matter of law, as "neither supply of goods nor a supply of services" by virtue of meeting a number of conditions. In cases where the sale meets these conditions, then the supply is outside of the scope of VAT, and therefore the levy is not chargeable.
TOGC rules are mandatory, and not optional. Therefore, it is important to establish from the outset whether or not the sale is a TOGC.
What are the main conditions of TOGC?
The main conditions involved in TOGC are as follows:
The assets should be sold as part of the transfer of a business as a going concern
The assets should be used by the buyer with the purpose of carrying on the same type of business as the party selling it, although this does not have to be identical
In scenarios where the seller is a taxable individual, the purchaser must be a taxable person already or become one as the result of the transfer
In respect of land that would be standard rated if it were supplied, the purchaser must notify HMRC that they have opted to tax the land by the relevant date, and must notify the seller that their option has not been disapplied by the same date
When only part of the business is sold, it must be capable of operating separately
- There must not be a series of immediately consecutive transfers of business
How we can help
The VAT People has helped many businesses regarding TOGC, whether they are a purchaser or a seller. We have assisted in drafting any necessary clauses in contracts, as well as advising on whether or not transactions qualify as TOGC's.
It is important to consider that if incorrect, HMRC may not only seek the VAT involved to be paid (if incorrectly not charged by the seller), or repaid (if incorrectly charged and claimed by the purchaser), but also interest and penalties.
Planning is vital to ensure any desired savings are correctly achieved.
Below is an example of how a TOGC can assist in a property transaction.
We advised a client that owned a large commercial building, which was being developed into both residential and commercial, on the most efficient VAT structure of transferring the building to an off-shore trust. An option to tax was needed for the vendor, given that circa £250k VAT was at stake on the obtainment of planning permission for residential conversion. The physical application of VAT to the purchase price would involve additional £120k SDLT being payable, which the purchaser wanted to avoid. There were existing tenants in the commercial element which were to remain, and the residential conversion was to be developed out. We managed to facilitate TOGC status to give both parties actual savings, and this included detailed submission to, and agreement from, HMRC that TOGC status applicable.
Contact us
TOGCs can afford both cashflow and actual savings, and, as with all things connected to land and property transactions, prior planning should be conducted to maximise the VAT position.
For help and advice on any issue related to TOGC, contact The VAT People by calling 0161 477 6600, or fill out an online enquiry form and we will be in touch.

What's this? Find out here.
Time now for the second "pack" of Night Owl's childhood cards, featuring a Philly phanatic's phantasy:
1976 Topps Greg Luzinski PHI #610
1976 Topps Garry Maddox PHI #38
1976 Topps Tim McCarver PHI #502
I'm a Tim McCarver fan. He was, to say the least, polarizing as a color man. He could be annoying at times, but I kinda liked him for the most part. But it's his playing career that I'm a fan of. I'm all about pitching. Good field generals behind the plate are a corollary interest of mine, and by all accounts McCarver was excellent in that respect. Unfortunately, he was done by the time I got started watching. But you can see what Gibson and Carlton saw in him if you catch the oft repeated 1968 World Series, Game 1, on ESPN Classic. Plus he's a catcher who once led the league in triples, and that's pretty cool, too.
1976 Topps Nelson Briles TEX #569
1976 Topps Steve Brye MIN #519
1976 Topps Dick Ruthven PHI #431
1976 Topps John Denny STL #339
I find a card as old as 1976 of John Denny interesting because he didn't really exist for me until he won the '83 Cy Young Award. I was surprised at the time to find that he'd been around awhile, and had even won an ERA title the year this card came out. Plus it's a really unusual picture. You don't see many introspective super-closeups on baseball cards.
1976 Topps Ken Brett PIT #401
I like the Brett for a few reasons other than Ken's sibling ties to a Hall of Famer. One, he's a member of the all-time Dodgers roster. Two, both Ken and George played against my cousin Craig in high school. Finally, I love the color scheme on '76 Pirates cards, with the uniform-matching yellow and the universal baseball (grass) color, green.
1976 Topps Tom Veryzer DET #432
1976 Topps John Ellis CLE #383
More sweet, sweet cardboard. Thanks Night Owl.

How to launch the CSS Hero editor
After product activation, you will notice a new "Edit with CSS Hero" link on your top WordPress administration bar, appearing both in the frontend and in the /wp-admin/ backend.
Clicking this link will launch the CSS Hero editor on that page.
ALTERNATIVELY: Should you have hidden the wp admin bar from your frontend, [it's a user preference], remember that:
- You can launch CSS Hero from the /wp-admin/ as well,
- …and then navigate – inside the editor – just switch the "click mode" to the navigation (mouse icon)
- You can launch CSS Hero from the page editing screen – and you will directly edit THAT page
- You can manually launch CSS Hero on any site page just adding ?csshero_action=edit_page to the browser URL.
EG: you are visiting a page with an URL like https://www.mysite.com/my-page/ – you can start editing that page opening the URL: https://www.mysite.com/my-page/?csshero_action=edit_page
FOR FORMER USERS: In the past CSS Hero had a bolder, bigger launch trigger, the "blue bolt" button. We've removed that in v3 – chooosing a more lightweight, elegant, standards-compliant way to launch the editor.

What is the best way to communicate with people about social issues to maximize the likelihood that they will modify their behavior as a result? It turns out there are "correct" answers to this question. These answers lie in decades of in-depth psychology research.
Say you want someone to go vegan. Should you tell them facts about factory farming or a story about one individual animal? Should you share graphic images of factory farmed animals, or cute images of rescued pigs? Does the guilt based messaging that we see so often on Facebook actually work? Do incremental steps (like going meatless on Mondays) make people more or less likely to go all the way (vegan)? Are pledges and public commitments effective? Watch to find out:
Nick Cooney is the founder of The Humane League, mastermind behind Farm Sanctuary's Compassionate Communities Campaign, and author of the new book Change of Heart. In his book Nick writes about what psychology can teach us about spreading social change. If we all start learning and applying these concepts and begin thinking more critically about the advocacy we do, we can become significantly more effective without any additional effort.
Why is this so important? Many of you have seen the terror in a pig's eyes as she is forced down an ramp towards the slaughter line. Frantic, she is pushed forward toward the sound of shrill squeals as the pigs before her get bolts to their heads and are hoisted by their legs onto a moving rail where they are dipped into boiling water and have their throats slit. We owe it to her, and all the others that will face a similar end, to be the most effective advocates we can be.
Together, we can start a Change of Heart revolution.

Seanad abolition is not an entirely new concept in Ireland's political history, given this House met this fate in 1936. Arguably a political decision at the time, almost 80 years later it is clear the reasons for proposed abolition are multi-fold and far more reasoned.
A chamber modeled on the British House of Lords, it is regarded as a place of sober second thought, which makes it sound like a nice, genteel rationale for retaining an upper chamber, but, when you think of what exactly the Seanad does, it's clear its legislative teeth are pretty blunt in that it can only delay the passage of a bill and initiate a non-money bill once it does not propose to amend the constitution.
At a cost of €20 million to run, it would be an anathema to me if this was the totality of the force of the Government's argument. It is not. The Senate lacks "input legitimacy" given the way Senators are elected. Even worse than not being elected by the people, senators are almost impossible to get rid of. If they vote against the interests of the people, if they misbehave, if they misuse their expense account, they have a job for life in the upper chamber once they keep 100 county councillors happy or a small percentage of students and alumni from their alma mater. Senators do not have any mandate from 99 per cent of the country and consequently this lack of legitimacy makes it the weakened vessel it is.
Furthermore, a lack of regional equilibrium means that some counties have numerous senators to represent their point of view. However, if you are unlucky enough to come from Offaly, you have no Seanad representative to do similarly. And, if you are a migrant, not one representative from your community have ever found themselves in Seanad Eireann, despite the fact a large number of immigrants ended up on these shores over the past decade.
Infantilism features strongly as an occupational hazard in our overtly political Seanad. We only have to look at July past when one senator used choice language to describe a parliamentary colleague's utterances on this very topic. Overtly graphic language was utilised to describe an antiquated abortion procedure in front of children in the gallery and we spent two hours voting in order to try to agree the order of business for the day. Hardly a feature of mature debate! But this dichotomy of views only serves the senator and their particular interest groups not the public. We must be mindful; politics is not a game of definitive colour. Sometimes negotiation, bartering and other such concessions are required for the greater good.
Senators must be more outrageous in their propositions in order to get media attention, a fact fuelled by newspapers' reluctance to appoint a journalist to report on it. Fillibustering continues to be the weapon of choice and has played its part in the destruction of the Government's legislative agenda. We saw this with the bill to abolish the Seanad and indeed the abortion bill, where we spent two hours debating the title of the bill.
While the commentariat have expressed concerns that opening up the constitution is like opening up a can of worms and the abolition of the Seanad will lead to all sorts of constitutional grievances emerging, we must be mindful that constitutions are not meant to shackle a society indefinitely. Just because there are copious references to Seanad Eireann in Bunreacht na hEireann does not mean it is unalterable. Admittedly, changing a constitution should be difficult and should not be done on a whim; Constitutions are meant to reflect the societies that create them and evolve just as societies do. And, while I acknowledge change is difficult for people who form part of the establishment, we, as serving members of the Oireachtas, must look outside the box and look at the very best political structures to suit the greater good and not just for the small elite.
Ireland is out of kilter with OECD norms in that bicameralism is almost singularly confined to federalist systems and countries of large populations. Indeed, within the OECD, Ireland is one of two countries with a bicameral parliament where there is a population of less than ten million. Twentieth century trends indicate 30 countries abolished their second chamber during this period. Other progressive small countries like Denmark and Sweden have shown they can manage their affairs better, at less cost with single chamber government. But to retain the Senate – elected or unelected – as a high-paid debating society or research institution is ridiculous.
Yet, in spite of the contributions made by a number of good Senators over the years, I've concluded the right answer is "yes" to abolition. Senators have the power to introduce, amend and delay bills, but we are not accountable to the people and there is a need to make our politics more accountable and democratic. We shouldn't let unelected people make laws because representation by popularity is the bedrock principle of democracy and this in essence is the problem with the Seanad. Senators are not elected by the wider electorate, which makes up 99 per cent of the population.
People of such calibre do not need to be Senators to exercise influence over Irish society; they did so before becoming Senators and could do so equally without a second chamber to be appointed or elected to. It is clear to me that if you feel you have something to contribute, contest a general election or join the public service but seeking suffrage in this undemocratic relic is not on. For the most part, the problem with the Senate is the Senate, not the senators and I have great respect for all members of our parliament and their enthusiasm to serve.
The reality is we have this anachronistic, completely unaccountable body that does not seem to make much sense in a democracy in 2013. A recent opinion poll demonstrates the people want this institution abolished. The Senate simply could not block its own abolition in defiance of public opinion; that would only prove how out of touch it really is.

When you buy and sell stocks and other investments, you might be required to pay capital gains taxes on the profit you made. Over time, the impact of those taxes can really eat into your returns, so it is a good idea to use investments and strategies designed to reduce your capital gains tax liability. From holding high-flying funds in retirement accounts to using index funds for the bulk of your portfolio, there are a number of ways you can reduce your capital gains taxes without sacrificing return or portfolio performance.
Place as much of your portfolio as possible into tax sheltered accounts like IRAs and 401k plans. Buying and selling stocks and mutual funds within these investment vehicles does not trigger a capital gain, since the funds are only taxed when they are withdrawn in retirement.
Check the turnover ratio for each mutual fund you are considering. The turnover ratio is a measure of how often the stocks in the fund are bought and sold. The higher the turnover ratio the higher the capital gains it is likely to generate. One sound strategy is to hold high turnover funds in your tax sheltered accounts, while holding index funds in your taxable accounts.
Choose index funds for your taxable accounts. Managers of index funds do not try to time the market by constantly buying and selling stocks. The managers of these funds only buy and sell when the makeup of the underlying index changes.
Review the capital gains statements you receive each year from your mutual fund holdings. Consider selling the funds that generate the highest capital gains, or buy those funds within a retirement plan instead of a taxable account.

Content Management: Alfresco, Document Management Software and Drupal 8.8.0Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Monday 20th of January 2020 02:10:35 PM Filed under
Alfresco Helps George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust Begin Its Paperless Journey
Alfresco Software, an open source content, process and governance software company, has announced the successful implementation of its Digital Business Platform by George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust to enable paperless processes. By digitising clinical and non-clinical forms, the Trust is able to make creation and changes quicker and easier, as well as give patients more control over their health and well-being. After just four months, patients and staff are seeing such a positive difference that there are plans to expand the usage of the Alfresco Digital Business Platform to digitise more processes.
Should You Use Open-Source Document Management Software?
A document management system (DMS) can play an integral role in the organization and efficiency of your business. Companies that want a paperless office or a streamlined way to store and access digital documents turn to document management software. The most useful systems allow you to perform a variety of tasks like scan paper documents, control file versions, organize various folders, set user permissions and collaborate with other team members.
Not all applications are created equal; you must, therefore, choose a DMS that serves your needs and integrates with your other business platforms. Business owners and developers who want added flexibility and customization often turn to open-source DMS solutions.
Drupal 8.8.0 is available
The last normal feature release of Drupal 8 includes a stable Media Library as well as several improvements to workspaces and migrations. The new experimental Claro administration theme brings a fresh look to site management. This is also the first release to come with native Composer support.

11 Best Web Browsers I Discovered for Linux in 2020Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 17th of January 2020 10:20:23 AM Filed under
Web Browser is a software that provides an interface to surf the web. With an introduction in around 1991, there development and advancement have advanced many folds till the current stage which we see today.
Earlier there used to be mostly text-based sites with few having images and graphical content, hence only text-based browsers sufficed with some of the early browsers being: Lynx, Netscape, and Opera.
But, with the advancement of technology to support audio, video, images and even flash content, browsers also need to be that advanced to support such content. This has pushed the advancement of browsers to what we see today.
A modern browser requires the support of many software which include: web browser engines like Geeko, Trident, WebKit, KHTML, etc, Rendering engine to render the web site content and display in a proper format.
Linux being an open-source community gives freedom to developers across the globe to experiment with features they expect from an ideal browser.

Mozilla on CRLiteSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 10th of January 2020 03:16:02 AM Filed under
Introducing CRLite: All of the Web PKI's revocations, compressed
CRLite is a technology proposed by a group of researchers at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 2017 that compresses revocation information so effectively that 300 megabytes of revocation data can become 1 megabyte. It accomplishes this by combining Certificate Transparency data and Internet scan results with cascading Bloom filters, building a data structure that is reliable, easy to verify, and easy to update.
Since December, Firefox Nightly has been shipping with with CRLite, collecting telemetry on its effectiveness and speed. As can be imagined, replacing a network round-trip with local lookups makes for a substantial performance improvement. Mozilla currently updates the CRLite dataset four times per day, although not all updates are currently delivered to clients.
The End-to-End Design of CRLite
CRLite is a technology to efficiently compress revocation information for the whole Web PKI into a format easily delivered to Web users. It addresses the performance and privacy pitfalls of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) while avoiding a need for some administrative decisions on the relative value of one revocation versus another. For details on the background of CRLite, see our first post, Introducing CRLite: All of the Web PKI's revocations, compressed.
To discuss CRLite's design, let's first discuss the input data, and from that we can discuss how the system is made reliable.

Opera 66 Makes it Easier for Users to Reopen Closed Tabs and Access Add-OnsSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 9th of January 2020 05:48:50 PM Filed under
Opera Software kicked off 2020 with a new stable release of its cross-platform, Chromium-based Opera web browser for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms.
Opera 66 has been released earlier this week as the latest and greatest version of this Chromium-based web browser, adding various enhancements to the user interface to make it easier for users to access sidebar extensions, as well as to help them more quickly reopen tabs that were closed by accident.
"We have an easy solution for this, one that doesn't require going to the full history section. When you click the clock icon that takes you to history, your browser will ask if you would like to reopen your recently closed tabs. If you click yes, they will come back as if you had never closed them in the first place," said Opera Software's Joanna Czajka.

App Highlight: Falkon Open Source Web Browser from KDESubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Monday 23rd of December 2019 05:48:29 PM Filed under
First thing first, Falkon is not a new web browser. It has been in development since 2010 but it was known as Qupzilla.
In 2017, QupZilla moved under KDE umbrella and changed its name to Falkon. Being under KDE umbrella means that project is actively maintained following KDE standards.
It uses the QtWebEngine rendering engine – which is a striped down version of Chromium core.
In this article, I shall take a closer look at what it offers and how it's different than other dominant web browsers on Linux out there.

Firefox UX: How people really, really use smart speakers [Ed: There's no such thing as "Smart speakers". They're listening devices or microphones connected to someone else in the wiretapping sense.]
More and more people are using smart speakers everyday. But how are they really using them? Tawfiq Ammari, a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan, in conjunction with researchers at Mozilla and Yahoo, published a paper which sheds some light on the question. To do this, he gathered surveys and user logs from 170 Amazon Alexa and Google Home users, and interviewed another 19 users, to analyze their daily use of voice assistants.
Users of both Google Home and Alexa devices can access a log showing all the interactions they've had with their device. Our 170 users gave us a copy of this log after removing any personal information, which meant we could understand what people were really using their devices for, rather than just what they remembered using their devices for when asked later. Together, these logs contained around 259,164 commands.
We collected 193,665 commands on Amazon Alexa which were issued between May 2015 and August 2017, a period of 851 days. On average, the datasets for our 82 Amazon Alexa users span 210 days. On the days when they used their VA, Alexa users issued, on average,18.2 commands per day. We collected 65,499 commands on Google Home between September 2016 and July 2017, a period of 293 days. On average, the datasets for each of the 88 Google Home users spans 110 days. On days when they used their VA,Google Home users issued, on average, 23.2 commands per day with a median of 10.0 commands per day.
For both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, the top three command categories were listening to music, hands-free search, and controlling IoT devices. The most prevalent command for Amazon Alexa was listening to music, while Google Home was used most for hands-free search. We also found a lot of items in the logs reflecting that both devices didn't often understand queries, or mis-heard other conversation as commands — that's 17% in the case of Google Home and 11% in the case of Alexa, although those aren't quite comparable because of the way that each device logs errors.
People used their smart speakers for all sorts of searches. For example, some of our respondents use VAs to convert measurement units while cooking. Others used their VAs to look up trivia with friends. Users also searched for an artist who sang a particular song, or looked for a music album under a specific genre (e.g., classical music).

Setting the Record Straight: PinePhone Misconceptions
The misconception concerns the openness of the PinePhone. On numerous occasions I've seen the PinePhone being refereed to as closed-source on one level or another. I don't know the origin of this misconception nor do I understand the reason why it has become propagated throughout the internet. What I do know, however, is that it has been repeatedly quoted in online articles covering the PinePhone or other Linux devices for over a year now.
So let's set the record straight: the PinePhone is not 'full of closed-source firmware' and, moreover, is one of the most open devices out there.Also: announcing arduino-copilot
