Watch the clip below to see what happened when JoJo attempted to flip Jenna upside down: In a 15-second TikTok, JoJo and Jenna were captured attempting their last lift of the routine for the first time during rehearsals-and it definitely tested JoJo’s strength. ![]() For the special episode, JoJo and Jenna danced the Argentine tango to Britney's “Baby One More Time” and their energetic routine earned praise from the DWTS judges, especially for the lifts.īut as it turns out, the pair had had some difficulty nailing the routine. The ABC dancing competition show aired its highly anticipated "Britney Night" recently, honoring pop star Britney Spears with choreography and outfits inspired by her. But while she and her pro dance partner Jenna Johnson make performing every week look easy, JoJo is showing folks that practice makes perfect with some heart-stopping behind-the-scenes footage. On Saturday night's most recent episode of Strictly Come Dancing (the British equivalent of DWTS), all the dance pros gathered together for special opening routine to Taylor Swift's classic tracks "Lover" and "Love Story." Johannes Radebe, who is currently competing with Great British Bake Off's John Whaite in the competition, stole the show when he arrived to the Strictly ballroom and started dancing the waltz with Kai Widdrington.Dancing With the Stars season 30 is now well into the competition, and YouTuber JoJo Siwa keeps bringing it to the ballroom. Siwa and Johnson's Disney-themed routine comes on the heels of some epic performances from previous weeks, the likes of which include a routine to Britney Spears' iconic 1998 smash hit ".Baby One More Time," Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's pandemic bop "Rain On Me" ( where they got the second-highest score of the night), and the "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" performance the week before that, where they topped the entire episode with the highest-scoring performance in the competition!Īnd this wasn't the only same-sex waltz in the DWTS universe to capture audiences' attention! It was Disney Heroes night on DWTS, and the out Gen Z superstar and Dance Moms alum gave us the queer, Disney-themed dance routine we've always wanted to see when she and her competition partner Jenna Johnson danced the Viennese waltz to the classic Cinderella anthem "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes."ĭitching the usual princess garb that is typically expected of women for princess-themed anything, Siwa donned Prince Charming's classic costume to dance with Johnson (who took on the role of Cinderella's to Siwa's prince), and as expected, they slayed the ballroom floor for the fourth week in a row, scoring 35 out of 40 points total and getting the first 9s of the season from the judges' panel! Sometimes being a princess is overrated, and it's better to be the prince! At least that's what JoJo Siwa was proving when she served up some Prince Charming excellence on last night's episode of Dancing With the Stars!

For example if my favorite animal was a jaguar and I chose jaguar as a keyword, we could use this to make a password like “23#jaguarsrock!”. For this question, if the user says “yes” we ask them what their keyword is. The code below tells the user that the computer will generate a random password, and then uses the input function to ask them if they would like a keyword. Embedding a keyword in your password Now we write the main driver routine. We also randomize the choice of lowercase or uppercase and transform the character appropriately. For the letters, we create a string containing all letters and then select a random integer from 0 to 25 to decide on the index into the string. To obtain a random number we use the same function, i.e., randint, to obtain a number from zero to nine inclusive. If we obtain 1, we will select a random number if we obtain 2, we will select a random letter and if we obtain 3, we will select a random character. We use the random.randint() function for this purpose. ![]() Here is the full function To decide what type of character to generate we choose a random number from 1 to 3 (inclusive). This function (and everything below) makes heavy use of the random package in Python. The below code defines a function that returns a random character, which could be a letter (uppercase, lowercase), a number, or a special character. Choosing a single random character To begin, let us make a function that chooses a single random character for our program. In the first run we choose to have a password keyphrase (here, “kodeclik”) and in the second we do not have a keyphrase. Sample runs Here are two runs with our Python program that we present below. ![]() For instance “kodeclik” is not a good password choice but “Y!*kodeclik9Bx” could be. There could be some memorable keywords inside the password but in overall it should not be an obvious choice. Further, the letters should be of different cases, ideally. Aren’t you tired of thinking up new passwords for every application or website? Wouldn’t it be nice to create your own personal password generator? In this blogpost we show you how! What makes a good password? A good password should be difficult to guess and it should have a mix of different types of characters: letters, numbers, special characters. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Merth is a do-it-yourself influencer, part of a growing group of well-coiffed women who track their home improvement projects online through sleek videos and posts studded with affiliate links. Similar to running bond layouts, herringbone layouts use more material than linear layouts.W hen Brittany Goldwyn Merth ripped up the carpets in her Maryland home in March 2019 and laid down vinyl tile, she meticulously documented the process. Herringbones involve aligning tiles in angled patterns, usually 45 or 90 degrees. Running bonds generally use about 10% more material. Running bond layouts (like those used with brick walls) involve offset rows or columns of tiles, usually with a 2:1 length to edge ratio. The most common pattern used is a linear grid, with square or rectangular tiles, or a pattern involving angled squares or rectangles that form a typical diamond shape. There are many different patterns used when installing tiles. They also offer the illusion of blending into grout edges, giving off an overall uniform look. Stone tiles include marble and granite, which provide unique and natural stone patterns, textures, and colors that are difficult to achieve using ceramics. Quarry tiles have rough surfaces that are good for floors that require grip, and are commonly used outdoors and in restaurant kitchens. Glass tiles, while not appropriate for flooring because they crack under pressure, are visually unique and interesting they are most commonly used for kitchen and bathroom backsplashes. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most cost efficient, and come in a variety of different styles. There are a number of different classifications of tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, glass, quarry, and stone. However, installing larger tiles results in more wastage, while using smaller tiles can help add texture to a room. Large tile sizes can make smaller rooms appear bigger, as well as more open and clean because there are fewer grout lines. While straight edge tiles (rectangular, square, parallelogram) are the most common, unique tile shapes also exist, though installation is not as easy. Square sizes (same width and length) are the most popular, accessible, and easiest to install. Tile size can range anywhere from smaller mosaics that are 3/8", to 24" × 48" slab tiles and everything in between. Either enter a positive value if there is a gap between the tiles being used, or a negative value if the tiles overlap. The tile calculator can account for both of these situations. In some cases, such as with roofing tile or the wood siding of a wall, rather than having a gap between them, tiles overlap to prevent leakage. For more uniformly cut tiles such as granite, smaller grout spacing can result in less visibility of grout lines between each tile. Although it is typically more difficult to have small gaps between tiles due to lack of a uniform shape and size, the use of rectified tiles (tiles that undergo additional processing to ensure that they are uniform) can allow for smaller spacing, though at an additional cost. Different sized tiles, materials, and design needs all affect the size of the gaps. Grout is a form of concrete, and the gap between tiles can range from anywhere between one-sixteenth of an inch to half an inch in size. These gaps are most commonly filled with grout, and as such, are often referred to as grout size, or grout lines. Tile grout spacing, use negative value for overlaps.įloor or wall tiles are typically installed with gaps between the tiles because the average tile may look quite similar to the next tile, but they are often not uniform in shape and size, and would not fit properly if installed without any gaps. ![]() ![]() Some park-goers were out with their children, flipping over rocks, presumably so they could see little crabs scurry out – a rite of passage in oceanic education.

Bumble, for example, which calls itself a feminist app, has had a number of reported cases of stalking, sexual assault and rape, and users have been quoted as saying that the company has failed to address their concerns as they would have hoped.Īnd then there are Big Dating’s faulty promises of long-term relationships. How, I’ve wondered, in the #MeToo era, are these companies still able to get away with this outrageous lack of accountability?ĭating platforms which market themselves as female-friendly aren’t always any better in dealing with the problems of harassment and sexual assault on their sites. But these same women say that when they’ve tried to report these incidents, the dating apps in question often don’t even respond. Nearly every one of the hundreds of women and girls I’ve interviewed about online dating over the last several years has told me she’s experienced some incident where she didn’t feel safe, if not something much worse. These are astronomical figures, and yet somehow still largely left out of the online dating conversation. In a 2019 survey by ProPublica and Columbia Journalism Investigations of 1,200 women who said they had used an online dating platform in the past 15 years, “more than a third of the women said they were sexually assaulted by someone they had met through a dating app” and “f these women, more than half said they were raped”. Yet they do next to nothing to help women with their very real concerns. ![]() What some would chalk up to “the new dating culture” are actually crimes that women have been told to laugh off lest they look like they’re just not cool girls.ĭating app companies, which inhabit a multibillion-dollar industry, have been very adept at co-opting feminism in the marketing of their products as “empowering”. Unsolicited dick pics, harassing messages, and the non-consensual sharing of nudes are now routine features of dating for women across demographics. But dating apps have led to the normalization of abuses which would have been considered appalling in other, supposedly less progressive eras. This isn’t to say there haven’t always been more risks for women when it comes to dating – of course there have. Since Covid, business media tell us, online dating has “ surged”. All of which has only gotten worse since the pandemic, when dating sites have become pretty much the only way to date for millions of people across the world. (Although, from what I’ve heard from my sources and media reports, LGTBQ+ women have plenty to complain about as well.) For years I’ve been puzzled by why no one wants to be the one to say it – is it fear of looking like an “old” or a prude? – but here goes: I believe that online dating has made single women overall less happy, less likely to find a long-term partner, and more at risk of experiencing sexual violence. Let’s face it: dating apps have been terrible for women – especially straight women like me who have to deal with the straight men who use them. ![]() ![]() The iteration counts for master passwords.The more comprehensive guide includes 10 points: ![]() The Security Bulletin: Recommended Actions for LastPass Business Administrators was prepared exclusively after the event to help businesses that use LastPass. Dark web monitoring alerts users when their email addresses appear in dark web forums and sites. LastPass also asked users to use the Security Dashboard to check the security score of their current password strength, to turn on and check the dark web monitoring feature, and to enable default MFA. To reset LastPass master passwords, users can follow the official LastPass guide. LastPass master passwords should be ideally 16 to 20 characters long, contain at least one upper case, lower case, numeric, symbols, and special characters, and be unique - that is, not used on another site. The company also urged users to reset their passwords. The Security Bulletin: Recommended actions for LastPass free, premium, and families includes best practices primarily centered on master passwords, guides to creating strong passwords and enabling extra layers of security such as multifactor authentication. Here are the key details from those bulletins. LastPass issued recommendations for affected users and businesses in two security bulletins. After the hacker had the decrypted vault, the cybercriminal exported the entries, including the decryption keys needed to access the AWS S3 LastPass production backups, other cloud-based storage resources and related critical database backups. The second attack was highly focused and well-researched, as it targeted one of only four LastPass employees who have access to the corporate vault. The LastPass vault also includes access to the shared cloud-storage environment that contains the encryption keys for customer vault backups stored in Amazon S3 buckets where users store data in their Amazon Web Services cloud environment. LastPass has confirmed that during the second incident, the attacker accessed the company´s data vault, cloud-based backup storage - containing configuration data, API secrets, third-party integration secrets, customer metadata - and all customer vault data backups. “The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered after the employee authenticated with MFA and gained access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault,” detailed the company´s recent security incident report. ![]() New Malware Targets 97 Browser Variants, 76 Crypto Wallets & 19 Password Managers How Generative AI is a Game Changer for Cloud Security Must-read security coverageĨ Best Penetration Testing Tools and Software for 2023Ħ Best Cybersecurity Certifications of 2023 ![]() The second attack targeted a DevOps engineer’s home computer.
