HTML Tags List

<!DOCTYPE html> Basically tells the browser what kind of document we’re loading, in this case good ‘ol HTML. This guy likes to be the first element in the document, even before the opening <html> tag. This page, for example, starts things off with <!DOCTYPE html>

<a> a for anchor, also known as a hyperlink, or simply a link. To make an actual link using the <a> tag, use the href attribute: <a href="http://eastmanreference.com">Link</a>

<abbr> Abbr is an abbreviation for abbreviation. Use it with the title attribute to define abbreviations. <abbr title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</abbr>. Safari 12.0 hovering the mouse over CSS brings up a little tool tip generated by the abbreviation tag.

<address> Contact information for the author. Alternatively, this could be general contact information for the website.

<area> Establishes areas in an image map. <area> is always used inside of <map>.

<article> The <article> tag is new in HTML5. This tag can be used to contain blog entries, forum posts, etc.

Camera doesn’t work in Windows 10

When your camera isn’t working in Windows 10, it might be missing drivers after a recent update. It’s also possible that your anti-virus program is blocking the camera, your privacy settings don’t allow camera access for some apps, or there’s a problem with the app you want to use.

Open Camera

Before you begin

Before working through the possible solutions listed, do these first:

  • Check for updates. Select Start , then select Settings  > Update & Security  > Windows Update  > Check for updates. If you see the option to View optional updates, select it to see if there are updates available for your camera. Allow available updates to install, then restart your device when it’s ready.
  • Restart your PC. If you haven’t restarted your device since the camera stopped working, you should do so. Select Start , then select Power  > Restart. Waking up your device from sleep isn’t the same thing as a restart.
  • Test your camera with the Camera app. Select Start , then choose Camera from the list of apps. If you’re asked to allow access to the Camera, select Yes. If the camera works in the Camera app, the problem might be with the app you’re trying to use. 

    Open Camera

If your camera still doesn’t work, here are some other things to try. For best results, try the possible fixes in the order presented.

Check for a camera switch or button your device

Some laptops and portable devices have a physical switch or button that turns the camera on or off. When turned off, your device won’t recognize that there’s a camera installed. If your computer has a switch or button, make sure it’s in the on position before using your camera.

Check your settings

Give your apps permission

If you recently updated Windows 10, you might need to give apps permission to use the camera. In newer versions of Windows 10, some apps don’t have default access to the camera. 

To let your device access the camera, select Start , then select Settings  > Privacy  > Camera . In Allow access to the camera on this device, if Camera access for this device is turned off, select Change and turn on Camera access for this device. 

Allow access to the camera on this device

Note: If camera access for the device is turned off and you can’t select Change, you’ll need an administrator on the device to turn on camera access for you.

Before any app can access your camera, make sure camera access is turned on for apps in your user account. Make sure that Allow apps to access your camera is turned on. 

After allowing access to the camera, go to Choose which Microsoft Store apps can access your camera and turn on camera access for the apps you want. Only apps installed from the Microsoft Store will show in this list. 

If you installed the app from the internet, a disc, a USB drive, or your IT administrator installed the app for you, it might not be a Microsoft Store app. To check, go to Allow desktop apps access to your camera and make sure it’s turned on. Many video conferencing apps, like Microsoft Teams, are desktop apps that require this setting to be turned on.  

To learn how you can configure your camera privacy settings in Windows 10, go to this Windows Community (in English) page.

Check your antivirus software

In your antivirus software settings, look for settings that block access to your camera or permission to use your camera. For help, visit your antivirus software company’s website. 

Check your hardware drivers

Try a different USB port and scan for hardware changes

If you’re using an external camera, try using it with a different USB port on your device first. If that doesn’t work, or your camera is built-in to your device, try this: 

  1. Select Start , enter device manager, then select it from the search results.
  2. Find your camera under Cameras, Imaging devices or Sound, video and game controllers.
  3. If you can’t find your camera, select the Action menu, then select Scan for hardware changes.
  4. Wait for it to scan and reinstall updated drivers, restart your device, then try opening the Camera app again.
  5. If these steps don’t fix your issue, continue to the next steps.

Check for an incompatible camera driver

Some older cameras that were designed for older devices aren’t compatible with Windows 10. Here’s how to check if you have if your camera is compatible:

  1. In Device Manager, look for your camera under Cameras, Imaging devices or Sound, video and game controllers.
  2. Press and hold (or right-click) the name of your camera, and then select Properties.
  3. Select the Driver tab, select the Driver Details button, and look for a file name that includes stream.sys. If it’s there, your camera was designed before Windows 7 and you’ll have to replace it with a newer camera.
  4. If you don’t find a file name that includes stream.sys, continue to the next steps.

Roll back the camera driver

If your camera stopped working after an update, try these steps:

  1. In Device Manager, press and hold (or right-click) your camera, and then select Properties.
  2. Select the Driver tab, select Roll Back Driver, and then choose Yes. (Some drivers don’t provide this option. If your driver doesn’t have Roll Back Driver available, go ahead to the next fix.)
  3. After the roll back is complete, restart your device, and then try opening the Camera app again.
  4. If rolling back didn’t work or isn’t available, continue to the next steps.

Uninstall your camera driver and scan for hardware changes

  1. In Device Manager, press and hold (or right-click) your camera, and then select Properties.
  2. Select the Driver tab, then select Uninstall Device. Select the check box for Delete the driver software for this device, then select OK.
  3. In Device Manager, on the Action menu, select Scan for hardware changes.
  4. Wait for it to scan and reinstall updated drivers, restart your PC, and then try opening the Camera app again.

April Fools’ Day

April Fools’ Day—celebrated on April 1 each year—has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery. April Fools’ Day traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools’ Day prank. While its exact history is shrouded in mystery, the embrace of April Fools’ Day jokes by the media and major brands has ensured the unofficial

Origins of April Fools’ Day

Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. In the Julian Calendar, as in the Hindu calendar, the new year began with the spring equinox around April 1. 

People who were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved to January 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March through April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes and were called “April fools.” These pranks included having paper fish placed on their backs and being referred to as “poisson d’avril” (April fish), said to symbolize a young, easily caught fish and a gullible person.

Hilaria

Historians have also linked April Fools’ Day to festivals such as Hilaria (Latin for joyful), which was celebrated in ancient Rome at the end of March by followers of the cult of Cybele. It involved people dressing up in disguises and mocking fellow citizens and even magistrates and was said to be inspired by the Egyptian legend of Isis, Osiris and Seth.

Vernal Equinox and April Fools’

There’s also speculation that April Fools’ Day was tied to the vernal equinox, or first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when Mother Nature fooled people with changing, unpredictable weather.

History of April Fools’ Day

April Fools’ Day spread throughout Britain during the 18th century. In Scotland, the tradition became a two-day event, starting with “hunting the gowk,” in which people were sent on phony errands (gowk is a word for cuckoo bird, a symbol for fool) and followed by Tailie Day, which involved pranks played on people’s derrieres, such as pinning fake tails or “kick me” signs on them.

April Fools’ Day Pranks

In modern times, people have gone to great lengths to create elaborate April Fools’ Day hoaxes. Newspapers, radio and TV stations and websites have participated in the April 1 tradition of reporting outrageous fictional claims that have fooled their audiences.

In 1957, the BBC reported that Swiss farmers were experiencing a record spaghetti crop and showed footage of people harvesting noodles from trees. In 1985, Sports Illustrated writer George Plimpton tricked many readers when he ran a made-up article about a rookie pitcher named Sidd Finch who could throw a fastball over 168 miles per hour.

In 1992, National Public Radio ran a spot with former President Richard Nixon saying he was running for president again… only it was an actor, not Nixon, and the segment was all an April Fools’ Day prank that caught the country by surprise.

In 1996, Taco Bell, the fast-food restaurant chain, duped people when it announced it had agreed to purchase Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and intended to rename it the Taco Liberty Bell. In 1998, after Burger King advertised a “Left-Handed Whopper,” scores of clueless customers requested the fake sandwich. Google notoriously hosts an annual April Fools’ Day prank that has included everything from “telepathic search” to the ability to play Pac Man on Google Maps.

Office Trivia: Remote Team Edition

A take on the office trivia game but for remote teams. Team members have to match the office with its owner from a set of pictures. A nice way to break the ice when running remote events.

Number of participants: 4-24

Duration: 20 minutes

Objective: Break the ice and get people to know each other better, improve team cohesiveness.

How to play

1. Ask all participants to send pictures of their home offices in advance.

2. Get everyone together on group chat.

3. Show a picture of one of the offices chosen at random.

4. The group has to guess which team member the office belongs to.

5. Repeat the process until you’ve covered all team members.

Optional: For future events, ask office trivia questions related to each team member’s office (like “Whose home office has a giant poster of Elvis Presley?”, “Whose office has white tiles?”, etc.).

Strategy

Team building becomes much harder when you’re running a remote team. Sharing something ‘intimate’, such as a private office, can help remote team members to open up. This simple activity is great for a weekend group chat and can build better team cohesion.

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) along with Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has announced the launching of “CoWIN”, a Grand Challenge for strengthening the COVID Vaccine Intelligence Network (CoWIN) system, a digitalised platform to be used to effectively roll out and scale up the mechanism for COVID Vaccine Distribution System, nationally.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said “India‘s innovators have played a crucial role in our fight against COVID19. I invite innovators and startups for grand challenge to strengthen CoWIN platform for roll out of COVID19 vaccination program across India.”

To be launched on the MSH (MeitY Startup Hub) portal, a collaborative platform developed under the aegis of MeitY towards building meaningful synergies in the Indian tech startup space, the challenge invites participation from talented and innovative startups and emerging technology specialists to augment and scale the CoWIN platform. MoHFW has identified seven (07) focus areas of technology development to holistically address the likely limitations associated with complete and effective vaccine distribution system (VDS) and its seamless administration across India. These challenges try to broadly address the priority areas relating to infrastructure, monitoring and management, dynamic learning and information systems, constraints of human resources-including technical capacities, vaccine logistics management and tracking enlisted beneficiaries for any adverse event following immunization on real time basis.

The Challenge kickstarts with registration process at https://meitystartuphub.in on 23rd December 2020 and is open for participants to apply till 15th January 2021. The top 5 applicants will be provided the CoWIN APIs (Application Programming Interface) to prove the efficacy of their solutions for possible integration with the platform. Each shortlisted applicant at this stage stands a chance to win Rs. 2 Lakhs covering their logistical requirements. The solutions once integrated with the platform through open APIs will be assessed for robustness and scalability. Top 2 contestants from the challenge will be rewarded with Rs. 40 Lakh and 20 Lakh respectively post successful migrations of the developed solutions on the cloud on which the CoWIN is hosted, apart from their integration with CoWIN.

CoWIN App to Be Official Vaccine App for India: All You Need to Know

CoWIN will be the digitisation platform for the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, but don’t download any apps from Google Play just now, as the official app has not been released. Before downloading any app for such a sensitive matter, make sure you are getting the correct app from a trusted source. The central government has introduced a new CoWIN app to roll out and scale up the mechanism for COVID-19 vaccine distribution system across the nation. The app is reported to be currently in its pre-production stage and hasn’t gone live on Google Play or the App Store.

CoWIN (COVID Vaccine Intelligence Network) is supposed to be a one-stop digital platform to make the phased-out vaccination process streamlined. IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad even announced a challenge asking developers to augment, scale and strengthen the CoWIN platform.

It is still reportedly still under development, and will launch in the future. As the central government readies to administer the vaccine to frontline workers, details of the app have now emerged. These details have been listed on the MeitY (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) site. The CoWIN app is said to have several modules – Administrator Modules for bulk registration, beneficiary registration module for self-registration and individual registration, vaccination module for verification of beneficiary details and updates of vaccination status, and beneficiary acknowledgement and status updation module for SMS alert details, issuance of electronic vaccination certificate, and a CoWIN dashboard with all the information including details such as name, age, mobile number, vaccination status, date and time of vaccination, place of vaccination, session site, health facility and name of vaccinator.

As mentioned, users cannot currently download the CoWIN app from the app stores, nor can they register on the official website. Only few users are given access to the platform, and only these users can login or access the app. Once live, all users should be able to download the app for free and register themselves for a vaccine.
