![]() ![]() The new AI based Generative Search Experience that Google is soon to launch has search results page loaded with images that are pulled from web pages. Google and other search engines have started showing images even on the web search results pages. If you think image SEO is done only to help you rank higher on Google Image Search, then you are wrong! Image SEO involves using best practices to ensure your images are crawled, indexed, and displayed on search results for a relevant search query. With search engines now doing all the heavy lifting to find the best relevant images, users are provided with a sea of opportunities to not only consume images but create images using AI tools. “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Even though this adage was used first during the print era, its relevance doubled if not multiplied in the internet era. The answer to this lies in the decreasing attention span of people and their growing tendency to consume visual content. So, why should you care about Image SEO in the first place?

Prior to this, the company had announced it would be integrating Lens with Chrome on the desktop, as well, in the “coming months.” This April, Google also rolled out Lens-powered multisearch capabilities on mobile allowing users to search with both text and images combined - hinting at the company’s broader plans to further invest in Lens technology to make searches feel more natural. Previously, Google had offered Lens capabilities in Image search and Google Photos on the web, but its fullest offering was on mobile devices. Instead of opening a new tab to perform a search, you’ll be able to use Lens on the same page in your Chrome browser to do things like translating an image’s text, identifying an object in an image or getting the original source from an image. Today, Google is rolling out a new way to use Google Lens on the desktop. Google has been working to better integrate its visual search tools from Google Lens into its browser to enable new types of searches that can identify what you see, not just search for things you type.

The Latin Proserpina, which is probably only a corruption of the Greek, was erroneously derived by the Romans from proserpere, "to shoot forth." (Cic.

Sometimes she was shown in the company of her mother Demeter, and the hero Triptolemos, the teacher of agriculture. Persephone was usually depicted as a young goddess holding sheafs of grain and a flaming torch. In other myths, Persephone appears exclusively as the queen of the underworld, receiving the likes of Herakles and Orpheus at her court. Her return to the underworld in winter, conversely, saw the dying down of plants and the halting of growth. Her annual return to the earth in spring was marked by the flowering of the meadows and the sudden growth of the new grain. Zeus consented, but because the girl had tasted of the food of Haides-a handful of pomegranate seeds-she was forced to forever spend a part of the year with her husband in the underworld. When she learned that Zeus had conspired in her daughter's abduction she was furious, and refused to let the earth fruit until Persephone was returned. Her mother Demeter despaired at her dissappearance and searched for her the throughout the world accompanied by the goddess Hekate (Hecate) bearing torches. Once upon a time when she was playing in a flowery meadow with her Nymph companions, Kore was seized by Haides and carried off to the underworld as his bride. Persephone was titled Kore (Core) (the Maiden) as the goddess of spring's bounty. This agricultural-based cult promised its initiates passage to a blessed afterlife. She was also the goddess of spring growth, who was worshipped alongside her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries.

The mathematical model is a way to predict ALNM. However, even if there is no evidence of cancer metastasis, further surgery is needed to determine the ALN staging. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of the ALNs can effectively improve the preoperative diagnosis rate. Ultrasound, mammography, CT, MRI and other imaging examinations can improve the accuracy of prediction, but there are high false-negatives. Clinical examination is the most traditional and basic means of ALN examination however, the doctor’s experience has a great impact on the results. Clinical examination, imaging examination, ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and mathematical models are commonly used to predict ALNM status. Therefore, a series of predictive methods were suggested to screen patients with a low risk of ALNM and to avoid SLNB. However, SLNB is still an invasive procedure. SLNB can be used to predict ALNM with high accuracy, and it precludes the removal of the ALNs and the subsequent complications associated with axillary clearance in node-negative breast cancer patients 7, 10. SLNB, an operation devised to reduce the need for ALND and a method of staging the axilla of patients with clinically negative axilla 5, 6, has been performed as a standard procedure in breast cancer surgery 7, 8, 9. In these cases, ALND can be deemed a significant overtreatment that is associated with significant trauma and many complications 4. It provides the most complete and accurate information however, as many as approximately 70% of early breast cancer patients exhibit no ALN metastasis. ALND is a standard surgical approach for all patients in the 20th century to both assess ALN status and treat metastatic ALNs. To accurately understand the axillary lymph node (ALN) stage and to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, it is very important to select a safe and effective treatment for the preoperative prediction and diagnosis of the ALN status 3.Ĭlinically, the gold standard for assessing the metastasis of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer usually includes axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Whether ALNM is involved has great significance for breast cancer staging, therapy and prognosis of patients and is also one of the important reference indexes for postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Breast cancer is often accompanied by axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM). More information on sentinel lymph node biopsy in general can be found on this page (which refers more specifically to breast cancer, but equally applies to the procedure for melanoma).Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among US women (excluding skin cancers) and is the second leading cause of cancer death among women after lung cancer 1, 2. It is very important that a sentinel lymph node biopsy is performed if the melanoma is: One or several lymph nodes are removed in this procedure and are sent for pathological analysis. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a procedure where lymph nodes are checked to see if there is any evidence of cancer cells having travelled there from a tumour. Lymph nodes are located in the armpit (axillary lymph nodes) as well as in the groin (inguinal), abdomen, chest and neck (cervical). The fluid that carries these substances is called 'lymph' and, once it has reached its destination lymph node, it passes back into main blood vessels. They are a part of the lymphatic system, which is a mechanism for the body to collect potentially harmful substances within the body (bacteria for example) and drain them out via the lymph nodes, where these substances are filtered out and destroyed. Lymph nodes are present in a number of locations around the human body. ![]() clarifies that rest breaks must also be "duty-free." The Court noted that "rest" is the opposite of "work," so that in order to have a "rest break", you cannot be working. In 2012, the California Supreme Court held that all meal breaks had to be "duty-free." The recent decision of Augustus v. Trucking companies and companies that have logistical functions should review their meal and rest period policies and call their attorney if they have specific questions about applicability of the FMCSA preemption order to their drivers.The California Supreme Court published another decision that confirms that California employees must be relieved of "all duty" for both meal and rest breaks. ![]() Overall, this case provides some certainty for trucking companies that their short-haul drivers are also exempt from California meal and rest period requirements. Tseng’s approval of Company policies regarding payment of the truck drivers that lead to violations of the Labor Code, which was sufficient involvement for personal liability under Section 558.1. While the Court confirmed that the owner must have some affirmative involvement beyond mere ownership status, it did not require that the owner be involved in the day-to-day operations for individual liability to potentially attach. The Court analyzed whether an owner needs to be involved in the day-to-day operations for personal liability under that section. The trial court awarded damages against the Company’s owner Ed Tseng under Labor Code section 558.1. In addition to the preemption arguments, the Court also addressed the issue of individual liability for wage claims. Thus, the Court held that short-haul truck drivers fall under the FMCSA preemption order and are not governed by California meal and rest period laws. Second, the Court noted that if the FMCSA wanted to exempt short-haul truck drivers from its 2018 preemption order or restricted its application to long haul drivers, it would have simply done so. On appeal, the Second District Court of Appeal analyzed whether the federal rules covering long-haul truckers were also meant to cover short-haul truck drivers like Espinoza.įirst, short-haul drivers, while exempt from one federal hours-of-service regulation, are still governed by many other HOS regulations. The trial court denied Hepta Run’s motion for summary adjudication and Espinoza prevailed at trial. filed a motion for summary adjudication, asserting that Espinoza’s meal and rest period claims were preempted by FMCSA’s preemption order. He filed a lawsuit alleging, among other wage and hour claims, that he was not provided the opportunity to take California-compliant meal periods and rest breaks. Plaintiff Espinoza worked as a short-haul truck driver. Hepta Run, Inc., 2022 WL 167770 (2022) now directly addressed the open question of whether federal law also preempts California’s meal periods and rest break requirements for short-haul drivers (drivers that generally drive within a 150-mile radius from their work location), in the affirmative. It has since been clear that this preemption order applied to long-haul drivers (drivers that generally complete trips outside of a 150-mile radius from their work location) in California. On December 28, 2018, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) issued a preemption order that expressly held that California’s meal and rest break laws do not apply to drivers of commercial motor vehicles subject to the federal hours of service (“HOS”) requirements. Employers in the trucking industry have repeatedly tried to challenge the applicability of California’s stringent meal and rest break laws to their workers, in light of the practical difficulties of complying with those rules and its conflict with contrary federal regulations. ![]() ![]() One of the first people assigned to this division was a young 24-year-old employee named Toru Iwatani. Company president Masaya Nakamura created a small video game development group within the company and ordered them to study several NEC-produced microcomputers to potentially create new games with. Īfter acquiring the struggling Japanese division of Atari in 1974, video game developer Namco began producing its own video games in-house, as opposed to simply licensing them from other developers and distributing them in Japan. An integer overflow causes the 256th level to load improperly, rendering it impossible to complete. The game increases in difficulty as the player progresses: The ghosts become faster, and the energizers' effect decreases in duration, eventually disappearing entirely. Ghosts become slower when entering and exiting these tunnels. ![]() To the sides of the maze are two "warp tunnels", which allow Pac-Man and the ghosts to travel to the opposite side of the screen. Eating a certain number of dots in a level causes a bonus item-usually a fruit-to appear underneath the center box the item can be eaten for bonus points. After a certain amount of time, blue-colored ghosts flash white before turning back into their normal forms. Eating multiple blue ghosts in succession increases their point value. Pac-Man can eat blue ghosts for bonus points when a ghost is eaten, its eyes make their way back to the center box in the maze, where the ghost "regenerates" and resumes its normal activity. Placed near the four corners of the maze are large flashing "energizers" or "power pellets." When Pac-Man eats one, the ghosts turn blue with a dizzied expression and to reverse direction. Each of the four ghosts has its own unique artificial intelligence (A.I.), or "personality": Blinky gives direct chase to Pac-Man Pinky and Inky try to position themselves in front of Pac-Man, usually by cornering him and Clyde switches between chasing Pac-Man and fleeing from him. If Pac-Man is caught by a ghost, he loses a life the game ends when all lives are lost. In between levels are short cutscenes featuring Pac-Man and Blinky in humorous, comical situations. Levels are indicated by fruit icons at the bottom of the screen. When Pac-Man eats all of the dots, the player advances to the next level. The objective of the game is to eat all of the dots placed in the maze while avoiding four colored ghosts-Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (cyan), and Clyde (orange)-who pursue Pac-Man. Pac-Man is an action maze chase video game the player controls the eponymous character through an enclosed maze. At bottom left is the player's life count, and at bottom right the level icon (in this case a cherry). The ghosts are in the center with Pac-Man below them. The game remains one of the highest-grossing and best-selling games, generating more than $14 billion in revenue (as of 2016 ) and 43 million units in sales combined, and has an enduring commercial and cultural legacy, commonly listed as one of the greatest video games of all time. The character of Pac-Man has become the official mascot of Bandai Namco Entertainment. Pac-Man was a widespread critical and commercial success, leading to several sequels, merchandise, and two television series, as well as a hit single by Buckner & Garcia. The original Japanese title of Puck Man was derived from the Japanese phrase "Paku paku taberu" which refers to gobbling something up the title was changed to Pac-Man for the North American release. ![]() The in-game characters were made to be cute and colorful to appeal to younger players. Although the inspiration for the Pac-Man character was the image of a pizza with a slice removed, Iwatani has said he also rounded out the Japanese character for mouth, kuchi ( Japanese: 口). Iwatani wanted to create a game that could appeal to women as well as men, because most video games of the time had themes of war or sports. Game development began in early 1979, directed by Toru Iwatani with a nine-man team. Eating large flashing dots called "Power Pellets" causes the ghosts to temporarily turn blue, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points. The player controls Pac-Man, who must eat all the dots inside an enclosed maze while avoiding four colored ghosts. In North America, the game was released by Midway Manufacturing as part of its licensing agreement with Namco America. Pac-Man, originally called Puck Man in Japan, is a 1980 maze action video game developed and released by Namco for arcades. Single-player, multiplayer (alternating turns) ![]() Portland breweries including Little Beast, Baerlic, and Gigantic had already begun shuttling beer around the city, but West, a former computer programmer, took it a step further. He decided to keep his bar staff employed by turning them into delivery drivers. Nat West, the namesake founder of Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider, closed his North Portland taproom just before the shutdown. ![]() “We'd say, 'Look what's going on in Portland: There's a bunch of incredibly wonderful things happening because people are putting these brewpubs in.' They just didn't want to do it at that time, but now they'd be more open to it.” Special delivery ![]() “We'd talk to property owners, we'd show them our business plan and we'd show them our capital, and they'd say, 'Oh, I don't want to cut a trench drain, I don't want to do this to my facility, I don't want to do that,'” Taylor says. At the time, there were just three active breweries in Hillsboro ( Vertigo, Ambacht, and McMenamins' Cornelius Pass) and only two in neighboring Beaverton (Cascade Brewing founder Art Larrance’s Raccoon Lodge, which was later known as the Lodge at Cascade Brewing, and an offshoot of McMinnville’s Golden Valley Brewery.) Suburban beer snobs had to schlep into Portland to sample most of the city’s beers. It's a big change from just a decade or so ago, when Alan Taylor, brewmaster for Portland's Ascendant and Zoiglhaus Breweries, first visited Hillsboro to scout a location for Zoiglhaus. Even those that aren't building brick-and-mortar locations have found a booming market for their beer on the shelves of Washington County supermarkets and convenience stores, and via home delivery from DoorDash-style services. I’m not a huge fan of pork or even fried chicken so I tried some and while it was good, it definitely isn’t for me.A growing number of Portland's flagship breweries are settling down in the city's populous western suburbs, a trend that's accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. These were house pork cracklings featuring Tilting Hog Ranch pork with a malt vinegar dipping sauce. It was amazing, almost like something I would plan on ordering at Bollywood Theatre. Like the Tostones, this isn’t something I’ve ever had before. Grilled sharp cheddar, spicy roasted serranos, pickled sweet peppers and neufchatel. I’ve never tried anything like this and I loved it. These were fried green plantains, covered in buffalo sauce (like wings) with a mojo jicama slaw. I’ll never be able to go back to plain ketchup after this.

Regarding to your question, why I thought, that the two possible workarounds aren't really good, I have to say, that I confused Point 2 with Point 3 from the official statement you sent to me above. Well OK, I understand now - Sandboxie-sourcecode was changed by intention by its developers. This is not recommended as it leaves your sandbox open to a print spooler exploit. This enables you to permanently open the folders a particular printer driver uses to store its work files.ģ) You can manually add the setting AllowSpoolerPrintToFile=y to sandboxie.ini. There are 3 ways to allow the print spooler to print to file:ġ) If you trust the process that is printing, you can double-click the SBIE1320 (that follows SBIE1319) to allow the print spooler to write files outside the sandbox for that particular process.Ģ) The spooler can write files outside the sandbox according to OpenFilePath settings. In this situation, you can safely ignore SBIE1319, hide the error message, or open the folder as described below. In these cases, you will get SBIE1319 even when printing normally (not to file). ![]() NOTE: Some printer drivers write temporary files to their own work area, even when not printing to file. If Sandboxie detects that the print spooler is attempting to write a file outside the sandbox at the request of a sandboxed application, it will issue "SBIE1319 Blocked spooler print to file". An application could use the print spooler to write an arbitrary file outside the sandbox. any help is welcome.Ī security hole with the Windows print spooler has been plugged. I do use the lastet BETA of Sandboxie 5.01.6 and latest Firefox ESR 38.1.1 and FinePrint 7. Remember, that also normal printing, when selecting the physical, real printer, without using FinePrint, printing doesn't work anymore without that error-message. In compatibility-settings of Sandboxie there is FinePrint marked with this symbol "-" but not a "+". I tried to search informations about that issue here in the forum and I know, that I do have the possibility to configure Sandboxie, to exclude the temp-directory of the print-spooler, or simply click "allow" within Sandboxies error-messagebox to do my print-out, but both workarounds are not really good solutions. I can't tell exactly the version of sandboxie, when that behavior arised, but I think, it was a version of sandboxie before V4.20. ![]() ![]() Now, since several month, when I do some printing within Firefox (running in Sandboxie), USING OR NOT USING FinePrint as the printer, I always get a message-box from sandboxie "SBIE1319 Blocked spooler print to file. While installing, Sandboxie recognized FinePrint and setup a compatibilty-setting for it, witch was always working well. I am using Windows 7 圆4, Sandboxie and FinePrint Version 7 for several years now - I never had an issue with that combination. Dear developers of Sandboxie, hello everyone ! |
