text: Ok, so I;'m running everything on a Supercard DS One. I first tried to load up Crystalis, and that would not load. I tried Megaman III, and that didn't work. I loaded up Megaman 6, and that worked, but when I went to File>Load Rom, it froze. I tried Megaman II and that worked, as did every other Megaman game after. So I decided to load up a different version of Crystalis since the game is on the compatibility list, only to experience the same freezing. I tried Zelda II, and Startropics, and they both froze. The only game that is working is Megaman 6; the other Megaman's are not loading up anymore. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem, with getting games to load up properly? Also, does anyone know how to fix the in game rom loading problem, that doesn't allow me to load up another rom while playing a game?

Knee-jerk opposition to the VAT is unfortunate. The recommendations of economists are dismissed on false assumptions by Congressmen who see VAT only as a political hot potato.
The economy could be structured for better success in world trade by replacing other taxes (corporate income and payroll) with a REVENUE-NEUTRAL VAT that would work to offset a competitive disadvantage to the U.S. The VAT is border-adjustable and subtracts the burden of governments from the price/value comparison of goods and services among countries.
Analytical discussion of the best way to collect revenues is irresponsibly sacrificed. For example, why not evaluate the impact of the sweeping tax reform recommended by Mitch Daniels – replace all taxes with a VAT and a flat income tax with a high deductible. Rather than examine the benefits and potential good for business, some Republicans expressed outrage and silenced the thought before it could possibly achieve traction. Unfortunate.

Popping, scrubbing, tanning—ever heard that these help your skin? Well, it's time to set the record straight.
Acne is something that only happens to teenagers. Teens definitely do suffer from acne, but some people develop acne for the first time in their 20s or 30s. In fact, in Manhattan's business districts, most patients treated for acne vulgaris are women between the ages of 20 and 45.
Acne occurs because your face is dirty. Many people feel like acne means their face is somehow unclean -- but that's just not true. The truth is, acne is a complex skin disorder that can't be boiled down to simply "dirt." It's likely that the connection between the skin condition and dirt was made because blackheads are, well, black -- but blackheads aren't caused by dirt, either.
To relieve acne, scrub your face really hard. Remember, acne isn't caused by dirt -- so you can't just wash it away. A cleanser with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and sulfur compounds will help clear the skin, but it won't clear it any faster if you scrub harder. Scrubbing acne too hard can actually inflame blackheads, so be sure to be nice to your skin.
Popping your pimples makes everything better. Will you people please stop picking at your faces? Popping pimples spills inflammatory gunk into surrounding tissues, which can cause scarring.
Tanning will help clear acne. Tanning does help hide acne, but the UV rays ultimately dry the skin, and can make the skin condition worse. And do we really need to remind you that tanning causes premature aging, not to mention skin cancer?

Tilly And The Buttons - Coco
I've been following Tilly Walnes' lovely blog Tilly And The Buttons with interest for some time now and am so pleased to finally get my hands on the much anticipated Coco sewing pattern!
Coco is a lovely jubbley nautical but nice pattern for a dress, tunic or top - I love how versatile the design is! I'm going to start with a classic Breton striped dress but am also itching to make a plain version with contrasting patch pockets! I picked up my stripy fabric at The Cloth House in Berwick Street yesterday - they've got some truly marvelous stuff including every shade of cotton jersey under the sun as well as luxurious wool/cashmere blends and even some fantastic organic cotton sweater material (which may or may not be next on my list!).
Tilly's blog is a great resource for sewing hints and tips and right now she's walking us through making the Coco pattern step by step so if you needed any extra encouragement to give it a try for yourself, hop over and take a peek!

However, the exact EEG changes necessary for diagnosis must be clearly stipulated, as EEG may show epileptiform activity associated with similar cognitive and behavioral changes in cases that are not in nonconvulsive SE. ++ Kaplan proposed the following definition of nonconvulsive SE, which takes into account both clinical and electrographic criteria:2 ++ Altered consciousness or behavior from the baseline state for at least 30 minutes without convulsive movements and The presence of one or more of the following epileptiform patterns: Repetitive focal or generalized epileptiform activity (spikes, sharp waves, spike and wave, sharp and slow-wave complexes) or rhythmic theta or delta at more than 2 per second The above EEG patterns at less than one per second, but with improvement or resolution of epileptic activity and improvement of the clinical state following intravenous (IV) injection of a rapidly acting antiepileptic drug (AED), such as benzodiazepine A temporal evolution of epileptiform or rhythmic activity at more than one per second with change in location or frequency over time ++ Nonconvulsive SE encompasses both generalized nonconvulsive SE, including absence SE and myoclonic SE, and localization-related or focal subtypes.

In absence SE, alteration of contact with the environment is more continuous, in contrast to the cyclic variations in responsiveness levels that may be seen in complex partial SE.3 Motor signs in absence SE consist of generalized myoclonus compared with more focal or lateralized findings, such as head or eye version, focal limb posturing, or focal weakness in complex partial SE. Prominent fear, anxiety, irritability, and speech and memory difficulties are more suggestive of complex partial than absence SE. Finally, whereas automatisms may be seen in both absence and complex partial SE, prominent lip smacking and lateralized automatisms would suggest the latter. ++ Patients with absence SE can be divided into several distinct subgroups: ++ Persons with typical absence SE and a history of idiopathic generalized epilepsy Persons with atypical absence SE and a history of symptomatic generalized epilepsy Adults who present de novo with typical absence SE and who frequently have coexistent metabolic dysfunction, infection, medication-related toxicity, or atrophy Borderline cases, which look like generalized nonconvulsive SE but have some focal components, often in the context of a history of focal epilepsy, particularly frontal lobe epilepsy ++ Because these groups are clinically quite distinct, the epidemiology, ...

Open Security Training's Introduction to Reverse Engineering class contains a detailed walkthrough of the Bomb Lab challenge, a crackme used for beginner reverse engineers. The course covers six phases necessary to defuse the bomb; however, there is also a secret phase hidden inside the original challenge. In this guide you will learn detailed steps necessary to locate and solve the hidden challenge.
Spoiler Alert: Try to solve this challenge on your own first and refer back to this guide for tips and tricks in case you get stuck.
Bomb Lab Refresher
Before we get into the secret phase of the bomb lab, let's revisit some key parts of the program that are relevant to the solution below.
Within the
main function there are several repeated blocks of calls used to obtain user input strings and perform appropriate checks for each of the bomb's defusion phases.
Here is a small snippet corresponding to the first phase:
.text:00031085 loc_31085:
.text:00031085 call sub_317C0
.text:0003108A push offset aWelcomeToMyFie ; "Welcome to my fiendish little bomb"
.text:0003108F call ds:printf
.text:00031095 add esp, 4
.text:00031098 push offset aWhichToBlowYou ; "which to blow yourself up. Have a"
.text:0003109D call ds:printf
.text:000310A3 add esp, 4
.text:000310A6 call funGetSolution ; Obtain user input for Phase 1
.text:000310AB mov [ebp+solution], eax
.text:000310AE mov edx, [ebp+solution]
.text:000310B1 push edx
.text:000310B2 call funPhase1 ; Check user input for Phase 1
.text:000310B7 add esp, 4
.text:000310BA call funDefuseBomb
.text:000310BF push offset aPhase1Defused_ ; "Phase 1 defused. How about the "
.text:000310C4 call ds:printf
.text:000310CA add esp, 4
NOTE: I have renamed most of the default function names for convenience (e.g.
sub_31870 is now called
The first call to
funGetSolution is used to obtain user input. After obtaining a possible solution, the program calls the appropriate bomb phase checker (in this case
funPhase1). Assuming the bomb does not "blow up",
funDefuseBomb is called which in turn checks whether the bomb is completely defused and prints out the "Congratulations! You've defused the bomb!" message.
Below is an illustration of the above pattern for all six phases:
+----------------+ +-----------+ +---------------+
+--> | funGetSolution | +-> | funPhase# | +-> | funDefuseBomb | +---+
| +----------------+ +-----------+ +---------------+ |
| |
+------------------------[ goto next phase ]------------------------+
As a quick reminder of how solutions are stored in memory let's take a look at the following snippet from
funReadLine (originally
sub_31810) that is called by
funGetSolution. The
funReadLine function is responsible for obtaining the actual solution string from STDIN or a file:
.text:0003181D mov ecx, File
.text:00031823 push ecx ; File
.text:00031824 push 80 ; MaxCount
.text:00031826 mov edx, phase_level; Calculate offset in the solutions array
.text:0003182C imul edx, 80 ; based on phase_level index
.text:0003182F add edx, offset byte_34F80 ; Get absolute address
.text:00031835 push edx ; Buf
.text:00031836 call ds:fgets ; Read and store string at the above offset
The take away from the above is that all of the solutions are stored for the duration of the program in an array of strings located at
If you are using IDA, you could create a custom data type called
Solutions and apply it to the
byte_34F80 buffer to make things easier to recognize in the future:
struct Solutions {
char phase1[80];
char phase2[80];
char phase3[80];
char phase4[80];
char phase5[80];
char phase6[80];
Please see Chris Eagle's excellent The IDA Pro Book, Chapter 8 on how to easily parse and apply C structure declarations.
Finding the Secret Phase
In order to locate the secret phase, let's take a look at how
funDefuseBomb checks whether the bomb is defused or not:
.text:00031990 ; Attributes: bp-based frame
.text:00031990 funDefuseBomb proc near
.text:00031990 num_items= dword ptr -5Ch
.text:00031990 solution= byte ptr -58h
.text:00031990 digit= byte ptr -4
.text:00031990 push ebp
.text:00031991 mov ebp, esp
.text:00031993 sub esp, 92
.text:00031996 cmp phase_level, 6 ; Check current bomb phase
.text:0003199D jnz short loc_31A07 ; return if not at six
.text:00031A07 loc_31A07:
.text:00031A07 mov esp, ebp
.text:00031A09 pop ebp
.text:00031A0A retn
.text:00031A0A funDefuseBomb endp
Until you defuse all six phases of the bomb, the conditional jump at
.text:0003199D will simply return from the function so you could progress to the next phase. However, a different branch is taken once all six phases are complete and the jump does not take place:
.text:0003199F lea eax, [ebp+solution]
.text:000319A2 push eax
.text:000319A3 lea ecx, [ebp+digit]
.text:000319A6 push ecx
.text:000319A7 push offset aDS ; "%d %s"
.text:000319AC push offset Solutions.phase4 ; Corresponds to 35070h
.text:000319B1 call ds:sscanf ; Read a format string
.text:000319B7 add esp, 10h
.text:000319BA mov [ebp+num_items], eax
.text:000319BD cmp [ebp+num_items], 2
.text:000319C1 jnz short loc_319F9
.text:000319F9 loc_319F9: ; "Congratulations! You've defused the bom"...
.text:000319F9 push offset aCongratulation
.text:000319FE call ds:printf
.text:00031A04 add esp, 4
Once again we are looking at the solutions buffer at the offset corresponding to the Phase 4 solution. If you recall, the solution for that phase consisted of a single digit. In this case we are still scanning for the same single digit; however, we are now looking for an extra string! The expected content of this extra string (called
solution above) is revealed further down:
.text:000319C3 push offset aAustinpowers ; "austinpowers"
.text:000319C8 lea edx, [ebp+solution]
.text:000319CB push edx
.text:000319CC call funCheckStrEqual ; Corresponds to sub_31740
.text:000319D1 add esp, 8
.text:000319D4 test eax, eax
.text:000319D6 jnz short loc_319F9
.text:000319D8 push offset aCurses ; "Curses, you've found the secret phase!\"...
.text:000319DD call ds:printf
.text:000319E3 add esp, 4
.text:000319E6 push offset aButFin ; "But finding it and solving it are quite"...
.text:000319EB call ds:printf
.text:000319F1 add esp, 4
.text:000319F4 call funPhaseSecret ; Corresponds to sub_31620
Aha! So if an extra string,
austinpowers, is appended after the normal solution to Phase 4 we are redirected to the secret phase. Let's proceed.
Talking to myself
If you have followed this guide so far, you should be inside
sub_31620 (called
funPhaseSecret from now on) which performs the checks necessary to defuse the secret bomb phase.
The secret phase begins with a typical call to
funGetSolution to obtain another line of user input and immediately performs some preliminary checks:
.text:00031620 ; Attributes: bp-based frame
.text:00031620 funPhaseSecret proc near
.text:00031620 result= dword ptr -0Ch
.text:00031620 solution= dword ptr -8
.text:00031620 Str= dword ptr -4
.text:00031620 push ebp
.text:00031621 mov ebp, esp
.text:00031623 sub esp, 0Ch
.text:00031626 call funGetSolution ; Obtain user input
.text:0003162B mov [ebp+Str], eax
.text:0003162E mov eax, [ebp+Str]
.text:00031631 push eax ; Str
.text:00031632 call ds:atoi ; Convert input string to integer
.text:00031638 add esp, 4
.text:0003163B mov [ebp+solution], eax
.text:0003163E cmp [ebp+solution], 1 ; solution >= 1
.text:00031642 jl short loc_3164D ; BOOM!!!
.text:00031644 cmp [ebp+solution], 1001 ; solution <= 1001
.text:0003164B jle short loc_31652
.text:0003164D loc_3164D:
.text:0003164D call funExplode ; BOOM!!!
So far we know that the input must be an integer between 1 and 1001. Let's proceed further down:
.text:00031652 loc_31652:
.text:00031652 mov ecx, [ebp+solution]
.text:00031655 push ecx
.text:00031656 push offset dword_34688
.text:0003165B call funPhaseSecretCheck ; Call another check
.text:00031660 add esp, 8
.text:00031663 mov [ebp+result], eax
.text:00031666 cmp [ebp+result], 7
.text:0003166A jz short loc_31671 ; Confirm the output is 7
.text:0003166C call funExplode
Interesting! In the snippet above
funPhaseSecretCheck is called with two parameters: an address of some data structure (
dword_4688) and the user provided number. The result of this function is compared against number 7. If the result does not match then the bomb explodes.
Just out of curiosity let's take a peak at the mysterious data structure at
.data:00034688 dword_34688 dd 24h ; DATA XREF: funPhaseSecret+36o
.data:0003468C dd offset unk_3467C
.data:00034690 dd offset unk_34670
Looks like some kind of a linked data structure with an integer value at offset
+0 and pointers to other similar looking structs at offsets
+4 and
Let's push the above information on our mental stack as we dive into
.text:000315C0 ; Attributes: bp-based frame
.text:000315C0 funPhaseSecretCheck proc near
.text:000315C0 pnode= dword ptr 8
.text:000315C0 solution= dword ptr 0Ch
.text:000315C0 push ebp
.text:000315C1 mov ebp, esp
.text:000315C3 cmp [ebp+pnode], 0 ; Compare node->value == 0
.text:000315C7 jnz short loc_315CE
.text:000315C9 or eax, 0FFFFFFFFh ; Return -1
.text:000315CC jmp short loc_31618
.text:00031618 loc_31618:
.text:00031618 pop ebp
.text:00031619 retn
.text:00031619 funPhaseSecretCheck endp
The first check makes sure the current node value (offset
+0) is not null. If the value is null, this function will simply return -1.
The case where the initial node value is non-zero is more interesting:
.text:000315CE loc_315CE:
.text:000315CE mov eax, [ebp+pnode] ; Get current node
.text:000315D1 mov ecx, [ebp+solution] ; Get solution
.text:000315D4 cmp ecx, [eax]
.text:000315D6 jge short loc_315F1 ; If (node->value > solution)
.text:000315D8 mov edx, [ebp+solution]
.text:000315DB push edx
.text:000315DC mov eax, [ebp+pnode]
.text:000315DF mov ecx, [eax+4] ; Get another node (offset +4)
.text:000315E2 push ecx
.text:000315E3 call funPhaseSecretCheck ; Recursive call
.text:000315E8 add esp, 8
.text:000315EB shl eax, 1 ; Return 2 * funPhaseSecretCheck()
.text:000315ED jmp short loc_31618
The first thing you should notice is the recursive call to
funPhaseSecretCheck. Here an address stored at an offset
+4 is passed to
funPhaseSecretCheck along with the user provided
solution integer. Next the result of this recursive call is multiplied by two using left shift and returned to the original caller.
So far so good, let's look at another branch:
.text:000315F1 loc_315F1:
.text:000315F1 mov edx, [ebp+pnode] ; Get current node
.text:000315F4 mov eax, [ebp+solution] ; Get solution
.text:000315F7 cmp eax, [edx]
.text:000315F9 jnz short loc_31601 ; If (node->value != solution)
... ; or simply "node->value < solution"
.text:00031601 loc_31601:
.text:00031601 mov ecx, [ebp+solution]
.text:00031604 push ecx
.text:00031605 mov edx, [ebp+pnode]
.text:00031608 mov eax, [edx+8] ; Get another node (offset +8)
.text:0003160B push eax
.text:0003160C call funPhaseSecretCheck ; Recursive call
.text:00031611 add esp, 8
.text:00031614 lea eax, [eax+eax+1] ; Return 2 * funPhaseSecretCheck() + 1
Another check and recursive call to
funPhaseSecretCheck. In this case the current node value is checked not to be equal to the
solution. Based on the initial comparison at
000315D6 this could also be interpreted as the current node value being less than the solution. Once again the next node at an offset
+8 is passed to itself. The result of the recursive call is both doubled and incremented by one before being returned to the calling function.
The last scenario in
funPhaseSecretCheck is simply the case where both
node->value and
solution are equal:
.text:000315FB xor eax, eax
.text:000315FD jmp short loc_31618 ; Return 0
Nothing exciting here, simply returning 0.
With all of the above information in mind, it is now possible to write some pseudo-code to clear up the algorithm:
struct Node {
unsigned int value;
struct Node *node_4;
struct Node *node_8;
int funPhaseSecretCheck(struct Node *pnode, unsigned int solution)
if (pnode->value == 0) { return -1; }
if (pnode->value > i) {
return 2 * funPhaseSecretCheck(pnode->node_4, solution);
else if(pnode->value < i) {
return 2 * funPhaseSecretCheck(pnode->node_8, solution) + 1;
else {
return 0;
Thinking back to the original call from
funPhaseSecret this series of recursive calls must return the number 7 by navigating the linked structure based on the user provided number.
Climbing the tree
At this point, we must understand exactly how the linked structure looks like and see how it can be traversed to produce the desired result.
If you are using IDA it is convenient to define a simple data structure based on the information learned above:
00000000 Node struc ; (sizeof=0xC, align=0x2) ; XREF: .data:000345E0r
00000000 ; .data:000345ECr ...
00000000 value dd ?
00000004 node_4 dd ?
00000008 node_8 dd ?
0000000C Node ends
Let's apply the structure to the initial node from
funPhaseSecret and continue applying to any linked nodes from there:
.data:000345E0 Node <3E9h, 0, 0>

The above structure corresponds to a sorted full binary tree.
It is now possible to figure out how to navigate the recursive calls to produce the desired pattern. The solution to the problem is the number

Welcome to my fiendish little bomb. You have 6 phases with
which to blow yourself up. Have a nice day!
Phase 1 defused. How about the next one?
That's number 2. Keep going!
Halfway there!
So you got that one. Try this one.
Good work! On to the next...
Curses, you've found the secret phase!
But finding it and solving it are quite different...
Wow! You've defused the secret stage!
Congratulations! You've defused the bomb!

Homepage > Spa and health resorts > Kneipp spa resorts
Kneipp health resorts play a special role in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Spa landscape, particularly if they are located directly at the Baltic Sea and the influence of the sea provides additional positive effects. In about 1855 in Feldberg, the cornerstone for hydrotherapy was laid in our state with the hydropathic spas at the inland lakes of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
a) various facilities for carrying out scientifically recognised hydrotherapeutic treatments, in particular according to Kneipp, in at least three Spa facilities with in-patient facilities,
b) scientifically recognised and experientially proven climatic qualities and a corresponding air quality, which are monitored,
c) at least one spa doctor's practice,
d) supervision by physical therapists, physiotherapists, or people with permission to use the professional title "massage therapist and medical pool attendant",
e) spa gardens, games, sports and sunbathing areas sufficiently undisturbed by traffic, as well as forests with marked trails for terrain treatments,
f) dietary advice during the spa time; the employment of at least one dietician in hospitals and dietary cuisine.
The third largest seaside resort on the popular holiday island of Rügen, which is also a certified Kneipp spa, is located in the centre of the lovely Mönchgut peninsula, in the middle of the south-east Rügen biosphere reserve.
Unspoilt nature, clear water, fresh air - ideal conditions to treat your body and mind to take a break, unwind, and recharge your batteries for everyday life.

Omaru Creek Sketching
It was a Beautiful Sunny Day at the Omaru Creek. Rooms 17, 18 and 16 walked down to the creek to do some sketching. Different places we went, I went near the Rubbish Catcher and near Elstree Ave. Wind was blowing in my face while sketching the trees in front of me.
It was quite fun working with some friends. Only if I could draw somewhere more easy. Everywhere I had went near the lake there was Duck Poo, I said to myself " EWW Duck POO everywhere" But lucky I hadn't stood on any.
Sketching across the lake I had just noticed a building in front of me it was the Glen Innes Family centre. Where many families in Glen Innes come together. "The water is so dirty and green" I said to my friend. Omaru Creek is the best place to sketch, draw or visit it has great flowers and a great place to walk.

October 6, 2009 (CHICAGO) --The family and friends of a 17-year-old Julian High School student killed while riding a CTA bus remembered her on the one-year anniversary of her death. Kiyanna Salters, 17, was an innocent passenger when she was shot and killed a year ago Monday night. Her family and friends held a prayer vigil at the stop where she died.
Police say the gunman, Milton Wardlaw, had gotten into a altercation with another passenger prior to the shooting. When he got off the bus, he allegedly fired at the man he was arguing with but hit Salters.
Wardlaw is awaiting trial.

Our Big Goal for 2016/17 – An Extension to our Outdoor Play Area!
This year our challenge is to extend the outdoor play area within the playground by adding a play structure for the children to use during their playtime. The school's outside space is relatively small so the utilisation of any unused space will make a big difference to the children's playtime experience. Our target is £10,000.

Citing the need to boost employee morale, the Internal Revenue Service's new commissioner said Monday that he will pay out millions of dollars in bonuses to agency employees, reversing a decision his predecessor made to save money amid the sequester budget cuts and other belt-tightening last year.
The agency remains under fire for targeting tea party groups, but Commissioner John Koskinen said the bonuses are needed to retain and attract good employees in a time of cutbacks.
"This is money best spent on our existing employees," he said in an email to agency employees. "The performance award payouts are in recognition of that great work done in very trying circumstances. I firmly believe that this investment in our employees will directly benefit taxpayers and the tax system."
The move didn't sit well with congressional critics who have been stupefied by the agency's targeting of tea party groups and, more recently, proposed rules to crack down on an even broader class of political activities by tax-exempt groups.
"It's hard to think of a group of people less deserving of bonuses than IRS employees. Frankly, this is outrageous," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee.
He said while "not every IRS worker" was involved in the tea party targeting, it sends a "wrong signal" to reward the agency.
Mr. Koskinen is slated to appear on Capitol Hill for an oversight hearing Wednesday.

Student-Selected Panel
Presented by the Bren Environmental Justice Club
"Environmental Justice, Not Just an Afterthought"
David Pellow, Faculty, Environmental Studies, UCSB
Asma Mahdi, Interim Executive Director, Green Muslims
Hahri Han, Associate Professor, Political Science, UCSB
Moderated by Timnit Kefela, PhD Student, Bren School
11:30 - 12:45
Bren Hall 1414
"In a time of great inequality, what can we do to ensure that environmental costs and benefits are distributed equitably among all people? Join us as we discuss what the Bren community and society at large can do to promote a more just and fair world."
—Wendy Lisa Bagnasco, MESM 2018
David Pellow
Asma Mahdi
Hahri Han
Timnit Kefela
What is Environmental Justice? Who does it effect and why? Environmental injustice tends to arise when marginalized parties experience disproportional exposure to pollutants, and it is often only addressed after damage has occurred. How can we as scientists, economists, and environmental managers change this narrative that is far too often repeated? Join the Bren Environmental Justice Club as we tackle these questions and more.
David N. Pellow is the Dehlsen Chair, Professor of Environmental Studies, and Director of the Global Environmental Justice Project at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he teaches courses on environmental and social justice, race/class/gender and environmental conflict, human-animal conflicts, sustainability, and social change movements that confront our socioenvironmental crises and social inequality. He has volunteered for and served on the Boards of Directors of several community-based, national, and international organizations that are dedicated to improving the living and working environments for people of color, immigrants, indigenous peoples, and working class communities, including the Global Action Research Center, the Center for Urban Transformation, the Santa Clara Center for Occupational Safety and Health, Global Response, Greenpeace USA, and International Rivers.
Asma Mahdi is a native Angeleno and has been an environmental advocate for nearly a decade. Her passion for environmental justice led her back to Los Angeles to work for the Sustainable LA Grand Challenge, an ambitious research initiative at UCLA aimed at transforming Los Angeles into the first sustainable region in the US by 2050. She is also the interim executive director of Green Muslims, a nonprofit organization focused on providing spiritually-inspired environmental education and resources to the Muslim community, that strives to inspire Muslims to live the environmental spirit of Islam. Before returning to Los Angeles, she worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington, DC, where she co-wrote and hosted the Regional Emmy Award-winning education series Trash Talk. Asma received her Bachelor's from UCLA in Environmental Studies and Geography, and earned her Master's in Environmental Science and Management from the Bren School at UC Santa Barbara.
Hahrie Han is the Anton Vonk Associate Professor of Environmental Politics in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. From 2005-2015, she was an Associate Professor of Political Science at Wellesley College and a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Scholar at Harvard University (2009-2011). She specializes in the politics of environmental and social policy, focusing particularly on the role that civic associations play in mobilizing participation in politics and policy advocacy. Her recently published book, How Organizations Develop Activists: Civic Associations and Leadership in the 21st Century (Oxford University Press 2014) examines the strategies that the most effective civic associations use to engage activists and develop civic leaders in health and environmental politics. Another book, Groundbreakers: How Obama's 2.1 Million Activists Transformed Field Campaigns in America (co-authored with Elizabeth McKenna, Oxford University Press 2014) describes the strategies the 2008 and 2012 Obama campaign used to engage so many grassroots activists in communities across America. Her first book, Moved to Action: Motivation, Participation, and Inequality in American Politics (Stanford University Press, 2009) examined the ways in which people become motivated to participate in politics, looking particularly at means of engaging underprivileged populations in political action. The book was the subject of a series of "Critical Dialogues" in Perspectives on Politics, an Author-Meets-Critics panel at the Southern Political Science Association, and positive reviews elsewhere.
Timnit Kefela is a first-year PhD student in the Holden Lab at the Bren School. Her research interests lie in the investigation of how pollution affects the unseen environment. Her undergraduate and master's research focused on the role of rhizobacteria in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in plants. Timnit is committed to connecting people to science and was heavily involved in STEM outreach efforts in the greater Philadelphia area for the last five years. She also served as an educator for two years at both the secondary school and collegiate level in Camden, New Jersey. As a Rutgers-Camden Civic Engagement Graduate Fellow she led a project focused on the use of native pollinator species for the phytoremediation and beautification of abandoned plots in Camden. Additionally, she was the Rutgers Graduate Fellow in the LEAP STEAM Fabrication Lab, where she served as the team scientist for the 'Food Desert to Food Forest' project, which was selected as the national track winner at the First Annual National Social Justice Challenge in Newark, New Jersey.
NOTE: Community colloquia are generally talks of broad interest geared toward a diverse, sophisticated audience. Their purpose is not only to enhance knowledge and understanding, but also to bring people together and promote interaction that will strengthen the community.

It takes a lot to be recognized as a successful member of the food and business industries. nowadays, these industries have become too large to allow companies to reach large corporation style status. Nonetheless, companies continue to attempt successful stints in these companies. However, it's even more impressive to look into companies such as OSI Group. What makes OSI Group so significant is the fact that they are not only a successful company in the food industry, naturally, they are a giant player in the business industry as well. Specifically, this meat processing company based in the United States has grown to global scales in monumental ways. As a matter of fact, OSI Group has several bases across Europe with plans to grow to even larger scales. Worth mentioning, OSI Group has been around since the early 1900's with the same level of success they have today. In reality, it has been one of the leading factors that have allowed them to stay relevant throughout the times. Approaching a century's worth of experience as a company, it is more than impressive to see OSI Group still standing. Also, considering they are still growing, we need to start asking if this company should be regarded as one of the best company's in America's history. Even if this is not the case, they are certainly up there with the best of America's companies. With that said, let's discuss more on the company's century mark as a company.
A Century's Worth Of Experience
Also known as OSI Food Solutions, there is no denying that the company had to get creative to adapt to the times. As we can see from this article on OSI Food Solutions & how they have succeeded for nearly a century, OSI Food Solutions had to innovate as the years went by. According to the article, without innovation on the part of OSI Food Solutions, there was a great chance that the company would have crumbled a long time ago. This could not be further from the truth nowadays. More than anything, the fact that they are approaching 100 years of business is a testament to great leadership and guidance from its organizers and creators. Certainly, without the company's founders have set the company for future success, OSI Food Solutions would have been lost in the long line of failed American company's. Since this is not the case, we need to appreciate the amount of work OSI Food Solutions has put in over the years.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A U.S. Postal Service mail carrier in Tennessee and 24 other people have been charged in connection with the sale of heroin and other drugs.
Media reports say Memphis police and the district attorney in Shelby County announced Thursday the results of a seven-month investigation called "Wait a Minute Mr. Postman."
Police said mail carrier Letravius Shaw helped the Grape Street Crips gang bring drugs into Memphis through the postal system. Court records show he is charged with two counts of conspiracy to manufacture, deliver and sell a controlled substance.
It's not immediately clear if Shaw has a lawyer.
During the investigation, authorities seized marijuana, heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone, plus 13 guns, 33 vehicles and cash.
Police have issued warrants for those who were indicted but have yet to be arrested.

It Can't be True! The Book of Incredible Visual Comparisons by the editors of DK Publishing, 192 pages.
Did you know that the world's biggest iceberg was the size of the entire country of Belgium, and that the tallest iceberg stood higher above sea level than the Great Pyramid? Did you know that the weight of the Great Pyramid is equivalent to sixteen Empire State Buildings … or that the moon is the same size as Australia?
Readers will probably also be intrigued to know that the world's longest snake is the length of twelve men, that the world's smallest bird (the bee hummingbird, which lives only in Cuba) can perch on the tip of a pencil, and that the world's tiniest computer is smaller than the nail of a person's little finger.
Many of the astonishing facts in this book will take readers – even adult readers - aback. Is it really possible that our entire Earth could fit inside Jupiter more than 1000 times, or that the biggest star is 1,400 times the size of the sun?
As the title promises, many eye-catching visuals accompany the incredible facts revealed in this book about our world and the universe.
"It can't be true!" is likely to be on the lips of both avid and reluctant readers over and over again.
** Recommended for ages 8 to 12 years.
100 Most Feared Creatures by Carey Scott, 112 pages.
To no one's surprise, sharks (ten types of them) are included in Carey Scott's gallery of the top one hundred terrifying and dangerous creatures on our planet, along with a plethora of scary snakes, poisonous frogs and jellyfish, carnivorous mammals, spiders, biting insects and even some deadly birds and fish.
Some of the creatures on the list are large – even enormous - and some are quite small. Some are deceptively lovely – for example, the beautifully-coloured poison dart frog or the delicate-looking Australian box jelly (one touch from this little critter can cause a person to suffer a heart attack).
Facts (size, habitat, habits and deadly abilities) and photos are included for each specimen.
Many facts in this book are quite incredible. For example, did you know that the King Cobra Snake can measure 5.5 metres or 18 feet in length … or that it can actually growl as well as hiss?
What creature is considered by the author to be the most fearful of all? Perhaps it's the creature that can spray acid-filled blood from its eyes, or the predator which can swallow a creature twice its size … but you'll need to read the book to find out!
Various other titles in the "100 Most" series, such as 100 Most Awesome things on the Planet, 100 Scariest Things on the Planet and 100 Deadliest Things on the Planet, are also available at the Stratford Public Library.

On Monday, we packed up our tent for the season. Swept it out carefully, flipped it over on its ceiling so its underside could dry, and rolled it up tight with its poles for another winter of storage in the shed. We love camping; we've gone on at least one camping trip every year we've known each other. Since Isabel's birth we've gone on three camping trips: once with my parents, on a bitterly cold Thanksgiving weekend; once with a group of friends in mosquito infested Bon Echo Provincial Park; and once, just this past weekend, with Mark's family.
Let me pause for a moment and be perfectly clear about what we consider camping. Luxuriating in a trailer, complete with running water, hydro, air conditioning, a television with satellite, and readily available wifi is not camping, not even close. When we camp, we use a tent, a little two burner, propane stove, a charcoal barbecue, and coolers filled with ice to keep all our food cold.* We rarely have hydro and even when it is accessible to us, we may not use it. We rough it. We love it.**
Isabel loves it too. We have found that camping with a baby is really not difficult at all, though we have learned a few things during our three separate trips.
- Skip the playpen unless your little one is used to it and plan to co-sleep. I know, co-sleeping isn't for everyone, and since every baby and every couple is different, this bit of advice might not work for you either. But, I found our pack'n'play took up a lot of room in our tiny little car, but Isabel refused to sleep in it both camping trips we attempted it. It gets cold at night while camping, and being all by herself in her little bed wasn't warm enough. We ended up co-sleeping instead so we could keep her warm, and feeling safe and secure with our body heat. It also made it easy to quickly sooth and nurse when she woke up in the middle of the night, so we mostly managed to avoid waking up our camping buddies.
- Related: pack warmer clothes than you think she'll need. Those fleece sleepers that you've packed up because it's summer? This is the time for them. It gets cold at night while camping, especially in August. If you're camping in the fall, like we did last year, you'll want to think about even warmer clothes. I packed Isabel a big chunky knit sweater for cool evenings and even cooler mornings and I was so glad I did.
- Relax on hygiene. I mean, a lot. Isabel had the best time while we were camping when we let her roam free a bit, which meant crawling around on the dirt, finding sticks, maybe ended up with those sticks in her mouth, and dirt all over her face. Her clothes got messy and it felt like we were scrubbing dirt out of her hair for a week after, but she was the happiest, most easy-going baby during those hours we just let her go. Of course, not every kid is going to love being grubby. For those kids, bring a big tarp or picnic blanket to play on out of the dirt instead, and, no matter what your kid is like, bring a good stock of wipes to get at least a little cleaned up before dinner and bed.
- Stick to your schedule. This one might be tough, especially if you're camping with people who don't also have babies. Isabel naps twice a day, once at 9 and again at 1 or so. She eats lunch around 11:30 and dinner around 6:30, and promptly goes to bed right after. Her need to nap and eat didn't change just because we were camping. One of the days we were gone this past weekend, she fought her afternoon nap, so we gave up – a little too easily – and simply skipped it. By 4, she was almost unbearable and when food wasn't quite ready in time, we were in melt-down mode.
- Bring a baby monitor. This wouldn't have worked for us this time around, but in the future, we'll definitely be adding this to our camping gear. This past weekend, our group included another couple with a baby. It was great to have the girls together, and we love that Isabel has a cousin who is very close to her age. But, our site was well out of ear-shot from their site, which meant that after bed time, it was impossible to have all four parents settled around a campfire at once. Someone always had to miss out. A baby monitor wouldn't have helped much, since I think the sites were too far apart for it to have worked, and since our site didn't actually have the appropriate hydro hook-up, but if we had been just one or two sites away, I could have put Isabel to bed and rejoined the party, knowing I could hear her on a monitor if she needed me. Keep this in mind if you're planning a trip with another family with young children.
I'm actually kind of sad that we're done camping for the season. Maybe we'll tag along with my parents on their annual fall trip again. Maybe we'll take a couple day trips to the beach before the summer is over. Either way, itself definitely time to start planning for next year already!
*I know, lots of you might protest that even this isn't camping. Air mattress instead of a sleeping bag on the ground? Camp stove instead of boiling water for coffee slowly over an open flame? A car to get to your site? Such luxury!
**We will readily acknowledge that if/when we can afford to purchase a trailer and store it somewhere on our property, we will both be ready and willing to make the change. The idea of a real bed is just too attractive. I won't call it camping though. I don't know what I'd call it. Just, not camping.

The Judgement Seat of Christ- Part 2
The Bema Seat: Rewards or Loss
In our last installment we talked about the Judgement Seat of Christ being a place where believers receive rewards for service to the Lord in this life. The word for judgement is actually the Greek word bema. The Bema seat of Christ, like the bema in the Greek Isthmian games, is not a place of punishment, but a place of rewards. Salvation is not decided here. Jesus Christ died to save us. Our works can never add to that finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. His death, burial and resurrection took care of our eternal destiny, if we accept His sacrifice on our behalf.
The interesting thing is that it is God who saved us and God who sanctifies us. He gives us the power to live a godly life. And at the end of that God-empowered life, he promises to reward us for service done for Him. We have a gracious and wonderful God.
I. The Participants and the Time of Judgement
The question that we must answer is, who are the people who will stand before the Bema seat of Christ, and when will it take place? The participants are members of the Church, the Body of Christ. That is all of those who are living and have died in this age of grace that we have been experiencing for over 2000 years now. God has temporarily cast aside His people Israel (Romans 9-11) and has given salvation to all mankind, Jew and Gentile alike. And He has placed them in the universal Church. All who trust Jesus Christ by faith are in that Church. And it is to the Church that the Apostle Paul was writing when he spoke of the Bema Seat of Christ.
The resurrection and rewards of the Old Testament saints are to be after the Tribulation. The Tribulation is a seven year period of time in which God's wrath and judgement are poured out on sin. It is also called the Time of Jacob's Trouble, because it will be a time when God will begin once again to deal with Israel and bring them back to Himself. Paul teaches that the believer in this Church age will be delivered from the wrath to come (I Thessalonians 5:9-11). And Paul, earlier, in I Thessalonians 4:13-18, teaches that we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. The Rapture, or catching up of the Church, is God's way of delivering us from the wrath, so it will take place before the Tribulation. And the Bema seat of Christ will follow the Rapture.
II. The Judge of the Bema
The righteous judge that we will stand before, is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In Romans 14:10 Paul calls this time of examination, the Bema of God, and in II Corinthians 5:10 he calls it the Bema of Christ. So Jesus, who is God, is our examiner and our rewarder.
III. The Criterion and the Rewards
As we have stated, works which we have done for the glory of God will determine the believer's rewards. We learn in Ephesians 2:8,9 that a man is saved by grace, through faith. But verse 10 says that he is saved to do good works. Good works follow a true salvation experience
In I Corinthians 3:11-15 our lives are compared to a building. Jesus Christ is the only foundation. What we build on that foundation is up to us. We can choose to build our lives for God's glory. These are the lasting materials called gold, silver and precious stones. When these things undergo the fires of judgement, they are refined and not destroyed. They get rewarded.
On the other hand, we can choose to build on the foundation things done for our own glory. These are likened to wood, hay and stubble. These works, when tried by the fire, are burned up. Nothing is left of them. Paul tells us that if we build nothing but wood, hay and stubble, we will lose it all. However, because the foundation of Jesus Christ remains, we will be saved, "yet so as through fire." Though getting into heaven is much better than Hell, what a sad day it would be to see your whole life completely go up in smoke. To me that would be embarrassing to have nothing but wood, hay and stubble to offer the Lord on that day. Though we don't really know what the rewards ultimately will be, they will be glorious things to receive from the hand of the one who deserves all of our praise. And it would indeed be a loss to receive none.
IV. The Incentive
The expectation of rewards should be a wonderful incentive to give our whole lives to the Lord and His service. And the negative aspect of this is a desire not to have the Lord displeased with the life that we have to offer Him on that day. If we truly are grateful for what the Lord has done for us on the cross of Calvary, we will ultimately want to hear Him say: "Well done, good and faithful servant." What a wonderful thing to hear from our Savior.
For those who know the Lord Jesus Christ, I hope that you are continually building on the foundation, things that will last for all eternity. To those who have never accepted Christ, now is the time to make Him the foundation of your life. There is no other foundation that will not ultimately collapse. To borrow from an old commercial: "Jesus: don't leave earth without Him."

In this article I will describe how to programmatically translate an instruction address from a Win32 executable to a source line. The described approach uses the Microsoft debugger engine dbgeng.dll. Therefore you should have it installed. If you don't have it, you can download and install the Windows debugger WinDbg which will install dbgeng.dll.
To use this approach you will need to have installed windows debugger engine – dbgeng.dll. If you don't have it, install WinDbg debugger. This will install dbgeng.dll
Many debuggers support debugging at source code level. The debugger is capable to provide debugging at the source level by translating instruction addresses to lines in source code files. In our approach we use the same mechanisms that debuggers use. This particular solution, to translate an instruction address to a source line, uses functionality provided by the windows debugger engine dbgeng.dll.
In overview, we create a process from the Win32 executable file from which we want to translate instruction addresses. Then we attach the debugger engine to the created process. To create a process and attach the debugger to it we use CreateProcessAndAttach function. When the debugger is attached, we call function GetLineByOffset to do the actual translation. After we finish with the translation task we terminate the process with the function TerminateCurrentProcess. Besides these procedures there are few more things that are necessary to do which I explain in the implementation.
First we create objects that implement the following COM interfaces: IDebugControl , IDebugClient, IDebugSymbols. To create these objects we use function DebugCreate.
static IDebugClient5 *dbgClient5 = NULL; static IDebugSymbols *dbgSymbols = NULL; static IDebugControl *dbgControl = NULL; ... DebugCreate(__uuidof(IDebugControl), (void**) & dbgControl); DebugCreate(__uuidof(IDebugClient), (void **) & dbgClient5); DebugCreate(__uuidof(IDebugSymbols), (void **) & dbgSymbols);
Before crating the process from the executable we set the debugger engine filters so that the target process breaks into the debugger immediately after it is created. To set the debugger filters we use function SetSpecificFilterParameters.
DEBUG_SPECIFIC_FILTER_PARAMETERS filter[10]; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { filter[i].ExecutionOption = DEBUG_FILTER_BREAK; filter[i].ContinueOption = DEBUG_FILTER_GO_HANDLED; filter[i].TextSize = 0; filter[i].CommandSize = 0; filter[i].ArgumentSize = 0; } dbgControl->SetSpecificFilterParameters(0, 10, filter);
Using function CreateProcessAndAttach we create a windows debug process and attach the debugger to it.
ULONG64 server = 0; PSTR commandLine = executableName; ULONG processId = 0; ULONG attachFlags = 0; dbgClient5->CreateProcessAndAttach( server, commandLine, DEBUG_PROCESS, processId, attachFlags);
To translate the instruction address to a source line we call function GetLineByOffset.
ULONG64 offset = instrAddress; ULONG fileNameBufferSize = MAX_FILE_NAME_SIZE; memset(sourceInfo->fileName, 0, fileNameBufferSize); sourceInfo->lineNo = 0; sourceInfo->fileSize = 0; sourceInfo->displacement = 0; HRESULT isOk = dbgSymbols->GetLineByOffset( offset, &sourceInfo->lineNo, sourceInfo->fileName, fileNameBufferSize, &sourceInfo->fileSize, &sourceInfo->displacement);
If we want to translate multiple addresses, we have to call function GetLineByOffset multiple times without repeating the earlier operations. After we finish with the translation we detatch the debugger from the process by terminating the process with function TerminateCurrentProcess.
HRESULT isOk = dbgClient5->TerminateCurrentProcess();
The code complete source code is available for download from InstructionToSourceLine.zip. Note that the instruction address provided as input should be a decimal number but not hexadecimal.
C# Version
There is also a C# implementation of this tool that you can download from InstructionToSourceLineCSharp.zip. This C# implementation consists of 2 parts – DbgEngManaged and InstructionToSourceLineCSharp. DbgEngManaged is a managed c++ library wrapper for the debugger engine DbgEng.dll. InstructionToSourceLineCSharp is a C# console application that references DbgEngManaged library. Note that the error handling here is not done properly so don't judge me for it The provided code here is something that I have quickly prototyped and decided to share for those who for some reason need to use the debugger engine. It can also serve as an example of using native and managed code together.
address, c++, csharp, DbgEng, instruction, interop, managed, native, source, source line, translate, win32, WinDbg, windows

The Groan Heard Around the WorldI'm not sure why anyone was surprised at the proprietary connector. I certainly wasn't surprised, except when I saw that it had shed a multitude of its pins. At first glance it's advantages were that it is proprietary, which is a financial advantage for Apple, and that it is reversible.
The problem, of course, is that it is not standard. No other phone will have this connector, and Apple has patents to assure this. Nothing on the iPhone is standard, everything is proprietary. This is fine for Apple because it forces everyone to kowtow to their dominance. It sucks for everyone who doesn't own an Apple device. It's not that Apple couldn't set standards here, it is that everything Apple does with their i-devices is anticompetitive.
The problem for the consumer, and the reason for the groans, is that this means more i-device-only cables, more expense, and more waste. The proliferation of cables and adapters is a problem that other tech companies are attempting to solve. Apple was always part of the problem and they have now doubled-down on their selfish commitment to it.
The Fanboy Cavalry and a Slight RedemptionIt didn't take long for the fanboys to do a 180 on this topic, that is if we assume they didn't celebrate the new adapter out of brazen consumer idolatry. The same old arguments arose, that USB standards were not up to the task and that this connector is somehow physically better than USB, and that this connector will allow added functionality that i-device users enjoy. Mix that in with some claims that reversibility is a killer feature and you have their argument. Yawn. Fanboys will be fanboys, but we shouldn't dismiss their arguments on that basis alone. Let's offer some counterpoints.
Point: The USB standards are subpar for video.
Counterpoint: This is false, but even if we assume it is true there are alternative standards that could be supported. For instance, there is MHL which builds on micro USB to deliver higher transfer rates and is able to output to either USB or HDMI. I'll backtrack a little and say that the claim that USB as fast is true if we focus purely on the current micro USB spec. Apple's cable should be faster than most micro USB cables, but that is easily overcome without this wasteful proprietary move.
Point: The new connector is physically better than micro USB.
Counterpoint: I think this claim is somewhat valid but with the caveat that the port is better but the cable itself is likely not. If you look at the port on the new iPhone you will see a very solid construction. I believe that this port will have less problems with wear and tear than micro USB ports have. Instead, I think the rigidity of the port will likely mean more wear on the cable. That's actually preferable because a cable is easier and cheaper to replace than a port. The one counterpoint I can offer is that there are designs for more durable micro USB ports that don't take up any more space. Still, I'll give this one to Apple, and I think in a few years when older micro USB devices become harder to charge and iPhones do not we'll fully understand the benefit of this.
Point: This connector will allow added functionality that i-device users enjoy.
Counterpoint: I call BS on this. The added functionality comes from supporting Apple's proprietary systems. This is essentially the same benefit that users of Microsoft Word enjoy. There is no reason why a standard micro USB connector couldn't deliver the same ability to stream audio (though for video you should see my first counterpoint above). The cable is not requisite for this or the other end of the cable would not be a standard USB connector, only the proprietary software interface is required. The connectors are about bandwidth more than anything, everything is digital so there's no reason for this except perhaps the absence of a competing software standard.
Point: The new connector is reversible.
Counterpoint: This is a good usability feature, but it comes at the cost of usability otherwise. Think about this, would you rather have a single, ubiquitous cable standard or to not have to spend an extra half second flipping the cable over? Ideally, I'd rather have both. Apple has created a world where we can have one or the other. From a convenience and waste perspective, I would absolutely rather have the standard.
As you can see here the counterpoints to some of these arguments are not very strong. Apple clearly didn't create their own connector without ensuring it would be a quality product. The problem I have with this is that the only party that benefits fully from this connector is Apple. Consumers lose out because standards are bucked again. The world loses out because non-standard connectors contribute to waste.
An Allegory at U.S. Robotics
I mentioned U.S. Robotics in this article because the story is so similar. USR was notorious for constantly developing their own technologies when the rest of the industry had long since agreed on a Hayes standard. As with Apple piggy-backing USB in their proprietary connectors, USR would start with standards and build proprietary technologies atop them.
The result of USR's hijinks was increased sales to BBS operators and ISPs. The reason is that only USR devices could support their version of HST. If a customer had a 19.2 modem and they connected to a modem that was not made by USR, their connection was the same 14.4 as everyone else. No consumer is going to accept the argument that you object to USR's practices, so service operators simply switched to USR.
For customers this wasn't transparent, though. USR's HST standard could've been better, and it showed. Most connections were no better than 14.4 anyway, so the promise of better performance was never met. Modems equipped with their HST technology cost more and delivered the same performance, which is likely what we'll see out of Apple's new cable.
Eventually the industry would top out with a standard of 56 kbps. USR couldn't offer a stable proprietary competitor that topped that, so they lost their speed advantage. They won against Hayes, as they outlasted that company before being gobbled up by 3Com. They lost out in the end, though, because generic competitors were able to undercut them using standards.
That's where the stories diverge, though. While I have no doubt that Apple will eventually come crashing back down to Earth, this cable will not lose out to standards as easily. The biggest reason for this is because the cable exists for connecting to Apple's products, and Apple is the number one company in the world at making people believe they need their products. USR did not control either end of the connection so thoroughly and their modems had to talk in a standards compliant way to both the client computer and the host modem.
What's more is that Apple has filed two patents on their cable. The rumor is that Apple intends to use these patents to go after cheap copies. If Apple can prevent third parties from selling cables cheaply, they can make a lot of money when the cables fail. If I'm right about the design favoring the cable failing, this will translate into another boost in profits for Apple. Even if the cable does prove to be sufficiently durable, Apple will still control the entire add-on market at the expense of the consumer.
How to Fix the Problem
There is a way for Apple to fix the entire problem. They won't do it, of course. Rather than snubbing their nose at standards, they could participate in the process or allow the industry to use theirs. Apple is terrible about standards. They constantly come up with proprietary technologies that ensure lock-in and are incredibly favorable to their devices, yet they rely on standards that others spent millions to develop. This poor neighbor standing and Apple's frivolously litigious nature are the only reasons I can support suing the company for using patented standards.
I won't hold my breath for Apple to change. No company ever changes if their tactics bring them so much profit. This cable design is but a microcosm of their entire ethos, and I'm sure they'll profit from it.

Fashion Designers Giving New Twists to the Typical Salwar Suits
Salwar suit is a boon to numerous women in India.
Thousands of working women in India wear salwar suits for comfort and because they are far easier to wear as compared to the saree.
The salwar suit is airy and roomy enough to be worn in the stifling heat and the attire is equally comfortable and at the same time conservative enough for traveling across the city.
Salwar kamiz has been a hot favorite to Bollywood fashion designers and so heroines in the Hindi movies have been sporting beautiful and colorful salwar kamiz sets since time immemorial. However, salwar kamiz has always been regarded as primarily a small-town attire. Of late, some designers are coming up with great ideas to give the traditional dress a new twist to make it look more chic and sophisticated.
The Designers' Efforts and the Twists
It really proved to be a great challenge for fashion designers to update this quintessential Indian outfit. However, creative and highly talented designers like Abraham and Thakore came up with salwars ending mid-calf. They have designed kurtas with absolutely no side slits. Nobody advocates the dupatta anymore and designers such as Masaba Gupta have come up with chic prints featuring truly funky icons such as the cow and the camera.
Kolkata-based designer Soumitra Mandal presents kurtas that resemble shift dresses. Mayank Anand and Shraddha Nigam's kurtas look like togas teamed with cigarette pants and also, canvas shoes. The PATINE label provides bell-bottoms paired with short tops including turbans. The so-called behenji outfit has finally been transformed into chic, modern and sophisticated. Here are some new twists that are making salwar suits popular again in India today.
So what's New?
Shruti Sancheti Collection
Shruti Sancheti, a Nagpur-based designer presents her own unique version of salwar kamiz dupatta (SKD). Shruti's SKD follows the typical idea of separates as prevalent in the west. She creates a version of SKD by pairing palazzo pants with a smart crop top, which is shorter in front for showing off the midriff. In yet another version of her SKD, Shruti presents a kurta touching the floor just like a gown or like a long Anarkali salwar kameez. This highly talented and creative fashion designer decided to transform the traditional salwar kamiz dupatta and break all the set rules.
Her customers are mostly NRIs and they simply love her various adaptations. Shruti's clientele includes working women who would love to go for mixing it up daily. The designer believes that in order to stay relevant, the SKD should actually be reinvented as per your mood. So the crop top could be teamed with your jeans and the pants could be used simply as pants.
Payal Khandwala Collection
This Mumbai-based designer comes up with a SKD that is layered and bohemian. The pants have been designed in such a manner that they look flowing and wide-legged bound with a wide belt at the waist. The kurta seems to be a smart halter top shorter at the front and longer in the back. This is usually, teamed with a dupatta draped like a shawl. Another version comprises a long, low waist and a backless kamiz. The designer opted for edgy designs because most women would be wishing to hide their wobbly bits. Her creations are neither too masculine nor too feminine, neither too fussy nor too fitted. They are often made from unconventional men's wear fabrics.
Kiran Uttam Ghosh
This famous Kolkata-based fashion designer has presented salwars with sheer flares toward the bottom, mermaid-style and kurtas come in fitted silhouettes. Some of the designs include really thin and long poncho draped around the neck but showing off enough midriff for looking sensual. Her outfits may look Indian but they have a global feel.
Author Bio: Meena Sarabhai is a fashion journalist and has been writing on the long Anarkali salwar kameez for quite some time now. She contributes regularly to a well-known fashion journal and she recommends https://fashionbuzzer.com/ for the latest in Indian attire.

Purchasing real estate as an investment is a wonderful opportunity to make some money and build your own business. Of course you need to do your research and ensure that the investment you choose is going to warrant a profit and continue to do so for years to come.
If you choose to purchase a building for the sole purpose of renting out the apartments, then you need to select an area where there is a need for accommodation. There is no use buying a block and trying to rent the apartments out if there is no need for accommodation in that area. How you decide to renovate the building must be done according to the income bracket of people living in the area or looking for homes in the area. Find Solana Beach real estate agent who is well educated in the area of apartment blocks and knowledge of the landscape of the area in which you would like to buy. The real estate agent may be able to give you some very useful advice on what areas are prime spots and will obtain a high percentage or rentals and fast.
Purchasing an apartment block with the intent of renovating it into a classy, upscale accommodation source is something that is worth looking into. Your real estate agent is the perfect person to move you in the right direction and enable you to find a block in an upmarket area where higher rentals can be obtained. If you are going to spend the money on renovating the block you need to be able to guarantee that you will get return on your money spent and that these will happen quickly.
A great idea is to purchase real accommodation is areas where it is a known tourist destination and where there are always people looking for holiday accommodation. Because of the locations of these areas like along the beaches, you can really get your cash flow turning and generate revenue.
The key to making money off your investment is to do the proper research. Be sure of your target market and direct your efforts in that direction. Don't try to put up an upmarket and expensive apartment block in a working class area where there is no chance you will rent the properties out. You are simply wasting your money.
A great real estate agent who knows the game will advise you how best to make the most from your intended investment.
