I'm blown away by this command, get calendar appointments from Office 365 using REST

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/calendarview?startDateTime=$(Get-Date)&endDateTime=$((Get-Date).AddDays(7))" -Credential $o365cred |  ForEach-Object { $_.value } |  Select-Object -Property Subject, Start , End It returns the date in universal time format, ie:  2015-08-27T00:00:00Z However, it also includes the time zone and any language should be able to convert the time directly into local time

Tip to create an underline on a heading shorter than the heading itself

You can use a pseudo element with :before (or :after ): h1 { font - weight : 300 ; display : inline - block ; padding - bottom : 5px ; position : relative ; } h1 : before { content : "" ; position : absolute ; width : 50 %; height : 1px ; bottom : 0 ; left : 25 %; border - bottom : 1px solid red ; } http://jsfiddle.net/9e27b/ This is another solution that centers the heading, the problem here is that the underline gets shorter as the column gets shorter. h2 {   display: inline-block;   padding-bottom: 15px;   position: relative;   width: 100% ;   text-align: center; } h2:before{     content: "";     position: absolute;     width: 8%;     height: 1px;     bottom: 0;     left: 46%;     border-bottom: 1px solid red; }

Questions How do I or can I convert a page to an index ? It appears that styles are applied to text, but it is not clear how these styles are actually activated.  eg, sometimes text appears large or with borders, but the edit box gives no real indication that this is happening. How do I create hero bars and sliders ? How are images licensed, is there really stock images that can be used ? Squarespace galleries don't seem to want to sit within an index- you can only add pages to an index. How do you add a background image for a page When doing testing thursday night, 20/8, it appeared that additional pages had a left hand side menu, that isn't going to work for me.  Events, I need to test that out. Notes An index contains pages in one long view Q's for 8sw The footer background on the home page is black, do you really want it black ?, I used #ada1ab (a slightly red grey)  Tell Ness wwe wont need the developer edition. I seem to be achieving everythign I...

Set permissions in a directory using powershell and a CSV file

import-csv "C:\useraccounts.csv" | ForEach-Object {    $directory = "D:\Personal\" + $_.SAM    $domainAccount = "COMP\" + $_.SAM    $rule=new-object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule( $domainAccount ,"FullControl","Allow")   $acl=get-acl $directory   #Add this access rule to the ACL   $acl.SetAccessRule($rule)     #Write the changes to the object   set-acl $directory $acl } This however, wont set permissions recursively,  you'll need something like this from technet.  Notice the "for each file" https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.02.powershell.aspx #ChangeACL.ps1 $Right="FullControl" #The possible values for Rights are # ListDirectory, ReadData, WriteData # CreateFiles, CreateDirectories, AppendData # ReadExtendedAttributes, WriteExtendedAttributes, Traverse # ExecuteFile, DeleteSubdirectoriesAndFiles, ReadAttributes # WriteAttributes, Write, Delete # ReadPermissions, R...
