The development is part of the Southwest Dixon Specific Plan, which was approved by the City Council in 2004.

Celebrities have traditionally played an important role in Iran’s political sphere, calling on their supporters to vote for their favored candidates. But things are changing. In the latest presidential elections on June 18, celebrities went quiet. This influential group of athletes, actors, singers and other artists began to play a central role in politics in the controversial 2009 elections, when many artists and social groups came out in support of candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi to prevent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from being reelected. They also played an active role during the post-election protests, urging people to continue protesting against the government, sparking anger among the Iranian security apparatus. Some pro-government political groups have tried to attract artists' support ever since. Although the 2009 elections were disappointing for the celebrities who campaigned against Ahmadinejad, they did not pull back from the political public sphere. Four years later in the 2013 presidential vote, the artists, who were not at all happy with increasing government censorship and security crackdowns during Ahmadinejad’s second term, came out in support of moderate Hassan Rouhani.  » Read More

Panaji: The North Goa deputy collector’s refusal to grant Goa Yachting Association ownership of the clubhouse and garage at Dona Paula is a major setback for sailing in Goa, said the sporting association on Thursday. President of Goa Yachting Association Siddharth Satardekar said that the deputy collector’s move to dismiss the case is yet another instance of “government departments trying to snatch away the legitimate assets” of sporting organisations in Goa. “Despite being directed by the revenue department to re-hear the case and pass an order based on merits, the deputy collector chose to dismiss the application,” Satardekar said. “It is a known fact that there are plenty of private parties who work in connivance with officers of the government departments so as to favour their interests in these sorts of properties that would render them handsome compensation,” he added The Indian Navy was using the structures at Dona Paula to run a sailing institute after Goa’s liberation and according to Satardekar,  » Read More

It looks like Twitter is trying to make Spaces a first-class experience on the web. As spotted by 9to5Mac, web developer Nima Owji has posted a screenshot of Spaces on the web. While users have been able to tune in to a Space on the web since May, they have never been able to host or speak in a Space using Twitter's web app. According to Owji's screenshot, that appears to be something Twitter wants to solve. It appears that Owji has uncovered that Twitter is working to allow users to host a Space from the Twitter web app. This would enable users to not only speak in a Space but also host a Space on the web. "You wish you could talk when you join a Twitter Space using the web app?! Twitter is working on it!" You wish you could talk when you join a Twitter Space using the web app?! Twitter is working on it!#Twitter #TwitterSpaces #Leaks pic.twitter.com/p1w95x0xEY— Nima Owji (@nima_owji) July 8,  » Read More

These days, working with brands and sponsored campaigns is not the only way you can get paid for creating and sharing content. Some social media platforms will also reward creators for their hard work with financial incentives. But which companies pay for content, and how can you earn money from these platforms? Here are nine social media platforms that will pay you to create content. 1. Snapchat According to CNBC, Snapchat pays up to $1 million per day for content created on the platform. Snapchat users can submit their best snaps to Spotlight, an entertainment platform that shares this kind of content from around the world. The content is moderated and, if it meets Snapchat's requirements, will be shared. This means that other users can find your snap in both stories and search results.

You can earn multiple payouts, though, according to Snapchat Support, this service is only available in selected countries.  » Read More

Hybrid and multi-cloud architectures are all the rage in enterprise IT infrastructure. But enabling the flexibility to deploy the right tool for each task requires a complex set of technologies that interlinks all the varied assets. That creates a bigger attack surface for hackers. The more services you rely on to run your business, the harder it is to keep track of how secure they all are. Some of the most recent examples of this problem have been tied to APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). In the past few months, Peloton, Clubhouse, Experian, Equifax, Instagram, Amazon, and PayPal have all been in the news for API-related cybersecurity problems. APIs are how applications talk to one another. A mobile app or a web frontend, for example, might use an API to communicate with a backend database. That means the backend database is vulnerable if the API is exploited. An API used by Clubhouse, for example, let anyone query the entire database of the social network’s public user profiles. According to a report released in February by Salt Security,  » Read More

Americans now spend more time on TikTok than YouTube. At least, according to analytics firm App Annie’s latest State of Mobile report, which tracks trends in consumer behavior on a wide range of mobile apps from 2019 to 2021. The report found that in the U.S., people who use Android phones now spend an average of 24.5 hours in TikTok per month, compared to 22 hours per month in YouTube. Two and a half hours may be a slim difference, but judging by App Annie’s data, that gap will widen: In December 2019, the beginning of the firm’s management period, Americans were spending just 16 hours per month on TikTok versus around 21.5 in YouTube–meaning TikTok’s user engagement has grown significantly, while YouTube’s has grown very little. TikTok also leads YouTube in the U.K., where users spend around 26 hours per month on TikTok and around 16 per month on YouTube. However, it’s not ahead in all countries. In South Korea, users spend more than double the amount of time on YouTube (around 40 hours per month) as they do on TikTok (17 hours/month).  » Read More
