text: Clio Blog Technology Posts Why You Need To Increase Your Password Security Written by Derek Bolen When cloud computing comes up in conversation, one of the primary topics (after explosive growth) has always been data security. And with good reason: while 94% of small and medium sized businesses are finding security had actually improved when migrating to a cloud solution, there were a small number of high-profile security breaches that drew attention to the perceived fallibility of the cloud. Users have a reasonable expectation that their cloud provider ensure account data is protected. Ultimately, however, lawyers are the ethical gatekeepers to their data, and the single most important thing they can do to ensure data security is using a secure password. If you're anything like the average Internet user, you're bad at passwords. Don't take it personally, though, you're in good company: 59% of users use the same password across most (if not all) sites, and judging from this list of the most commonly used passwords of 2015, it wouldn't matter even if you mixed it up. These habits, a holdover from a time where you used a password to access a device that was physically bound to your desk and 'Hackers' were just a plenty awesome Jonny-Lee Miller/Angelina Jolie vehicle, are now woefully out of place in a society that is always connected, processing previously unheard of amounts of data, and requiring security on an unprecedented level. While password security is less of a problem when dealing with your Hotmail account from 1997 (I'm looking at you, email@example.com), it becomes slightly more problematic when the backbone of your legal practice (including sensitive client data) is stored online. With 1 in 3 attorneys stating they use some form of cloud computing solution in their practice, we felt this was a helpful time to revisit some best practices for password selection and management. First of all, if you're a Clio administrator, you have the option of enabling strong passwords via your settings page. While not a failsafe, this will ensure that all firm members within Clio update their passwords to use a more secure option. When choosing a new password, keep the following in mind: Never store passwords in word documents, text files, or any other non-encrypted form on your local computer, or worse, on a Post-It note Never store passwords "in the clear" on a remote host (such as Google Drive, Evernote, or any other non-encrypted remote service) Never 'share' passwords (don't use the same password for multiple sites) Try not to use real words in your passwords (words that you would find in the dictionary) Try not to use common variations or trivial permutations of real words in your passwords ('p@ssw0rd' is not appreciably more secure than 'password', even though it contains both a symbol and a number) Try to use a password a minimum of 10-20 characters in length Try to use a random combination of letters, numbers and symbols Finally, never share your passwords with anyone, regardless of your relationship with them. Most cloud solutions have data sharing options that do not require sharing your password. Proper password practices result in a tricky catch-22: you're not allowed to write it down or use one password across multiple sites, but the passwords have to be intrinsically meaningless and difficult to remember. Unless you're Jonas Von Essen, you'll probably find yourself locked out of your accounts on a regular basis. Luckily, there are solutions in the form of password management utilities. If you're looking for a desktop application (for best results, use on a password-protected computer), 1Password is optimized for OS X, while KeePass works well for Windows. By using these tools, you're able to maintain a password database and save the encrypted password database to a cloud service such as Dropbox so that it's synced across multiple devices. If you prefer a cloud-based solution, ensuring all of your passwords is accessible to you via a web interface, we highly recommend Passpack. By utilizing these practices, you will ensure that your cloud data remains secure, even in the event of a third-party breach. If you're still reading, do yourself a favor and change just one of your online passwords; you'll be that much closer to securing your data. This post was published on February 13, 2014.

Heating and cooling systems have a way of breaking down when the weather is at its worst; on the coldest day of a frigid winter, or during a sizzling summer heat wave; times when your comfort system must work the hardest, and when you need it most.
Regular check-ups will help to maximize the life expectancy of your system; unfortunately, even the best maintenance won't prevent normal wear and tear.
Dirt & Neglect are the top causes of heating and cooling system inefficiency and failure. To ensure energy efficient system operation, it is important to perform routine maintenance. Proper maintenance by a qualified technician is one of the most important steps you can take to prevent future problems.

It wasn't just Olympians and Paralympians returning to Nottingham with medals this summer. City-based horticultural experts, Hosta Consulting, took Gold for their 'drop of urban green' inspired garden from this year's Royal Horticultural Show at Tatton Park.
Just a few months on, Hosta has brought the garden home, reinstating it at Manvers Court in Sneinton. The team, which has worked with Nottingham City Homes (NCH) on a number of projects, vowed to bring the garden back to one of the city's communal spaces, so tenants and residents have the chance to make the most of the award-winning design.
Hosta worked with Nottingham-based ground working specialists, Thomas Bow, to create an urban pocket park inspired garden for display atthe RHS Tatton Park flower show in July this year. The garden represents what can be achieved in unused and unloved pockets of space in towns and cities across the world.
Originating in the USA, research has found pocket parks and green infrastructure are hugely important for cities, providing a restorative environment away from these stresses of a busy city. They also provide little green corridors for wildlife such as pollinators to visit and help cool and improve the air quality in towns and cities.
Manvers Court, along with its neighbouring blocks, Kingston and Bentinck, have recently benefited from a raft of improvements provided by NCH, creating warmer, more efficient homes, with a whole new look to the exterior of the buildings. Residents will now be able to enjoy this drop of green space on their doorstep.
Nottingham City Homes' Chief Executive, Nick Murphy, said: "We're committed to creating homes and places where people want to live. I'm delighted that HOSTA is bringing this garden back to Nottingham and making it available as a communal space for some of our tenants. It's truly very special".
Wide ranging research has shown the positive impact of green spaces on a person's mental health, helping to tackle anxiety, depression and stress. A recent study by the University of Edinburgh discovered a person's stress level was directly linked to the amount of green space in their direct surroundings, suggesting the more green space that surrounds them, the less stressed a person is likely to be.
Ed Higgins, Architectural and Landscape Designer at Hosta Consulting, said: "The garden at Manvers Court is part of a re-landscaping scheme which aims to improve residents' environment and promote biodiversity.
"The relocation of the RHS Tatton Park garden, 'A drop of urban green', originally envisaged as an urban pocket park, has been placed at Manvers Court to provide residents with a place to relax and enjoy the British-native wildflowers. At RHS Tatton Park show one of the key aims of the garden was to highlight the benefits of exposure to nature, including stress-reduction and anxiety."
The garden not only features a range of planting, landscaping and seating areas, it also includes the words of local poet, Ben Norris, who's poem 'Salvage Yourself' is inscribed on the wall of the garden.
His words, designed to inspire those sitting in the garden to relax and leave the stresses of everyday life behind, will now be on display for NCH tenants for years to come. Ben said: "Working on this poem was a new and exciting challenge for me. I love nature and have always found it calming and restorative, so I was able to channel that into the writing, but beyond that I wanted to create a piece that spoke not only of nature in general, but specifically to the garden itself; physically tiny but spiritually and anthropologically vast.
"I want people to be able to step into the garden, and into the world of the poem, and feel like they are miles away from the myriad anxieties modern living throws at us, without having to actually escape the city they live and work in. I wanted to celebrate nature without vilifying the urban. Also, it's nice to have something you've written inscribed onto a massive wall!"

i know – shocking!
but i promised my wassail (pronounced wassel) recipe the other day, and i'm following through!
my mom gave me this recipe and i've celebrated nearly every christmas with it. as soon as it heats up it makes the house smell like christmas to me!
4 cups tea – i used earl grey tea, but any plain tea would be fine, and i just brewed it in the coffee maker
4 cups apple juice
4 cups cranberry juice
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
a handful of cloves
a few cinnamon sticks
pour all this into a big pot on the stove and leave it on low all. day. long. and your house will smell like christmas!

[OPl17a] Dynamic Shared Spectrum Allocation for Underlaying Device-to-Device CommunicationsRevue Internationale avec comité de lecture : Journal IEEE Wireless Communications, vol. 24(5), pp. 88-93, 2017, (doi:10.1109/MWC.2017.1700064)
Mots clés: D2D communications, spectrum sharing, frequency allocation, power allocation, SIMO communications
Résumé: This article provides an overview on spectrum sharing in D2D underlaying communications for 5G and beyond 5G applications. Various spectrum sharing algorithms are summarized within a framework of underlaying D2D communications in cellular networks to increase spectrum efficiency. Dynamic spectrum sharing algorithms in the frequency, power, and spatial dimensions are proposed for underlaying D2D communications with both single antenna and multiple antennas at the base station. Performance evaluations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in terms of average data rate per D2D pair.

Salafi Ban Reflects Tajik Officials' Growing Fear

Afghan Director Tackles Subject Of Rape In New Film
Breaking one of his country's taboos, Afghan filmmaker Abdul Rashid Azimi has made a movie about rape, a prevalent wartime crime that has scarred many women's lives. In a country where rape victims and their relatives prefer to keep silent -- fearing shame and disgrace -- the filmmaker is drawing attention to Afghan society's prejudices and its tragic consequences.

Former Soviet States Weigh Israel Ties Vs. Popular Anger
As Israel widens its offensive in the Gaza Strip, demonstrations in some mainly Muslim former Soviet states have put some governments in difficult positions. Many have had relations with Israel since the collapse of the Soviet Union, but now seem to be reluctant to express support for either side in the conflict in the face of public opinion. Other countries like Russia and Georgia are taking sides more openly, according to their strategic interests.

Fellow Nobel Winner Urges 'Serious' Protection Of Ebadi
Iran says that there was no need for any international concern over Shirin Ebadi's safety and that the government will protect her, as it protects each and every Iranian citizen. This followed widespread international concern over Ebadi's safety following several incidents -- including the closure of her center in Tehran and accusations by hard-liners that she has an Israeli bias regarding the Gaza crisis. Fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jody Williams, who along with Ebadi and several other Nobel Peace laureates established the Nobel Women's Initiative, tells RFE/RL's Golnaz Esfandiari that she remains concerned about the safety of her Iranian colleague.

Central Asia's Cheap Gas Era Comes To A Close
Uzbekistan has increased the gas prices it charges neighboring Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan by 60 percent. The two customers say households will no longer be able to afford their gas bills, but there is little they can do as Uzbekistan courts more affluent customers like Russia and China.

Uncle Joe is at it again. He is, once again, using the tried and true Democrat tactic of trying to scare people into letting the government spend more money. It is time to pass yet another failed stimulus bill, and if you don't pass it, oh, you don't even want to know the horrors the country will face.
The argument, this time, is: "If you don't let the Federal government tax and spend even MORE of your hard earned money, local police forces won't have enough cops to be able to stop the skyrocketing number rapes that will occur. Only the Federal government can solve problems, you see."
Mr. Biden, the Federal government doesn't need to spend more of our money to stop rapes, the second amendment already allows the citizens of this country to stop rapes from happening to them.
If Federal spending can stop rapes, then I wonder how many rapes would've been stopped with the wasted Solyndra money.

I have been in a needle felting frame of mind. I have some commissioned pieces I need to get out and I am also working on some other designs that have been floating around in my brain, jostling to get out.
Here are some pictures!
You are probably already familiar with the piggies. The bunny/heart is a fridge magnet. These are all my own design and I am very proud of them.
The chick and the bunny are both new designs and I am very pleased at how they turned out!
You know your needle felting is going the way it should when you are giggling with delight, and I was!
I have decided to start selling my little creations, since some of you have expressed some interest in actually buying one! If you are serious, they are 8$ plus shipping. I am guessing shipping won't be much since they don't even weigh an ounce. I won't have a set price for shipping, since I will charge whatever the post office charges me. I do take paypal. If you are interested in a piggy or bunny or chick email me at lakotajo2 at msn dot com. Custom colors available and each one will be pretty much made individually to your order. Because each one is handmade and an original, there will be some differences in each piece. If this turns out to be fairly popular, I just might open an Esty! Who knows? I just know they make me happy and are made with love and laughter.

A Loaded Mountain Monday
I guess this is what happens when you don't blog for a whole week! I have a ton to share. But first, because it is Monday and we must follow our own rules. The mountains. I was so hoping to share something better than gray and cloudy, but no, another storm is coming in, just like last week. I did try to spice it up a bit, so we shall see.
First off, our good friend, Ms. Tenacity, the oak leaf. Still hanging in there and ignoring all the naysayers. Go leaf!
Beautiful wild rose hips:
It is snowing up there!
The storm laying across the top of the mountain:
Hard to tell where the mountains end and the sky begins:
This is the view west of me:
On Friday, I got to enjoy all THREE of my granddaughters. Cute isn't the word. Squid is feeling much better and has bounced back wonderfully. I want you to know, I just put two pictures up per granddaughter and it was HARD!
Squidling age 6 months
The Pea, age 3 1/2
Check out June Bug's delectable piggy tails! She is 1 1/2.
Kristina organized a HUGE blogger lunch on Saturday.
I got to ride down with Amber, Me and Bonnie. It totally made my day, cause we had our own little personal blogger get together there and back again. The lunch? Well, Goodwood will never be the same, and oh so much talking and laughter happened. I am sure the folks who work at Goodwood will be talking about our lunch as the craziest one they ever saw where no drinking was involved ever!
Christa won the needle felted piggy I made for a drawing.
She named him Phillip. I am sure he has a great home now.
Here I am in the infamous snuggie. I now wear my bathrobe backwards in honor of the snuggie.
A good time was had by all. Good thing, cause the boy caught a bad cold and was home from school today. Which is why this post is late. And he is coughing again, so my guess is he will be home tomorrow again. It is a good thing I have some good memories to make me chuckle.

Presidential Monday
The post won't be presidential, but I get tired of just posting Mountain Monday and it was the best I could come up with!
Squid is out of the hospital! Stupid RSV. I didn't get any pictures, just lots of cuddling. She had an IV in her head and O2 in her nose and she was such a sad little thing. Much perkier now.
Speaking of perky, I am feeling better too! Look at that, things are looking up all around here.
And now, on to the Mountains. I thought it was very boring outside today. (Don't throw snowballs at me, please!) There is another storm coming in and the mountains were outlined against a gray sky, so the contrast is poor. But I will do my best to snazz them up.
Here is our little oak leaf, still hangin' on against the storms. Some would say, this leaf is unwilling to let go, to accept the inevitable reality of what will happen. I on the other hand, being an incurable optimist, say this leaf is filled with tenacity and faith, unwilling to accept the prevailing winds of "wisdom" and instead, continues to carve its own path into the future. What say you?
I find this to be a bit humdrum for my taste.
I thought the mountains looked prettier framed through the bare branches.
This frame seems to help this picture be a bit more formal.
And because I am playing with the frames on photoshop, here is before:
And after:
Definitely not my best pictures, but ah well, one can't have perfection every week, can they?
We didn't have any respite on Saturday, so we took the boy and the Pea to a children's museum. It was... well, good and bad.
They had a little play there and the characters are picked from the audience. The director chose Little Man as one of the guards for the wicked queen, complete with little guard clothes.
Little Man did really well. Much better than we expected and he did a couple of funny things that made the whole audience laugh. We were sooo pleased. Until the end, when he very deliberately stomped on a fellow guard's hand. Why did he do that? He had been doing so well. It was so mean and so on purpose. I tried really hard to put it in two separate boxes in my mind, so I didn't just erase all his good behavior from before, as we sternly corrected him for hurting another child.
I have a new commenter, Cyndi, who doesn't have a blog, but is an old friend from high school who found me. It has been awesome to catch up with our lives. :::waving:: Hi Cyndi, thanks for the nice comments and you need to start your own blog so you can have nice comments too!
I have so much to tell you, but it will wait until tomorrow or the next day for its own post. My Monday was so so, with Little Man being home from school and being super clingy, but we all survived. Tomorrow is my Monday and I can't wait!
Friday, February 13, 2009
1. The main reason this will be short, I am just feeling under the weather, so I am not doing any commenting or even much reading. My apologies, I promise I will catch up when I am feeling better.
2. Squid is in the hospital with RSV and I have been driving back and forth with that.
3. Many good things going on too, just too tired to write.
4. Hugs to all of you.

Regularly Scheduled Mountain Monday
Fear not, in spite of my mushy, gushiness, Mountain Monday will still happen. I have a couple of sets of pictures to share. Last week it rained and cleared the sky out, so I headed off to my favorite bird refuge/sunset place for what I hoped would be some good sunset pics.
I know it is blurry, because I couldn't get any closer, but it is a BALD EAGLE! How cool is that?
Blue Heron mating season, and it was so beautiful watching them.
This view was to the east of me.
This vista to the west of me.
I stood there for an hour, listening to all the different bird calls around me, breathing deep and letting the beauty all around fill my soul. How lucky am I?? Very lucky, very lucky indeed!
Random hawk flying, I am experimenting with frames here.
It was so beautiful and I went home renewed in mind and heart.
Today, there weren't exactly any mountains to see, because it was SNOWING like crazy! I went to a nearby park and I had to be careful. The snow was very wet and heavy and large tree branches were snapping off around me. While I was taking these pictures, TWO large branches snapped off with very loud cracks and then crashed to the ground. I made sure I wasn't near any trees with big branches. I braved the dangers of heavy snow just to capture these pictures for you!
As usual, I am ever impressed by the beauty that surrounds me every day. Thanks for letting me share it.
How can I tell you how grateful I am for you? For your tender, sweet emails and offers of kind generosity? I have shed tears of joy and gratitude for the open hearts and open hands within my circle of friends. And I know, more than ever, the world can be a good place, filled with people who care. People who don't have to, people who struggle through their own days, and still, still can find the love and energy to reach out to one of the little ones. You amaze me, humble me, lift me. Thank you darling, darling friends. I am in AWE!
After you read this, close your eyes and imagine that I am standing in front of you. I am looking into your eyes, you can see my tears and my joy shining, shining just for you. I take my hands, I place them over my heart and then I reach out and place them on your heart. And you carry a part of me with you, as you have cared for a precious soul, she and I will always be a part of you now. Thank you. Thank you.

And Then I Cried
Crazy day today. I had to drive to Salt Lake to exchange my hubby's cell phone that wasn't working, and in general just do a ton of errands. On my way home I stopped to see Little Man's baby sister. I am so glad we know where she is and that we can see her whenever we want, but going there breaks my heart. On so many levels.
First level: The grief over her life. She had a serious birth injury, and while she certainly had illegal drugs in her system, the birth injury was not the birth mother's fault. Seeing this little girl, laying in a crib, almost totally unresponsive just kills me. I wonder so many things when I see her. She is completely vent dependent and is fed by, guess what? A g-tube. Insert ironic laughter. Ha ha, they are tube twins. Why does that hurt? She doesn't have a mama, and she doesn't get to live in a home where she is adored.
And the second level. This baby girl is so neglected. Not by the care place, they take care of her physical needs, she is clean, dressed, her curly hair in a pony tail. But she has nothing! She has no beautiful blankets, she has no toys, nothing in her crib to stimulate what brain function she has. I guess this is what happens when both sides of your family are struggling with serious poverty. I asked the nurses what she needed and they said clothes and hair detangler! I asked about toys, they did say music and something like a crib music player. But they said she needed clothes much more. I can do nothing about my first level of grief, but I can do something about the second. So I am hunting at my local second hand kid's places, looking for toys, for things to help this little darling. If any of you feel like you would like to help her, she is wearing a 3T. She is partially blind and partially deaf, but needs toys to help stimulate her on any level. She can't touch a toy to make it work, so she needs things that basically go on their own. If you want to help, drop me an email, lakotajo2 at msn dot com and you have two choices. You can either mail them to me, or if you live locally and would like to meet this precious little girl, it can be arranged too. I can't do this by myself, but with your help, this little girl will get what she needs and what she deserves.
I kissed her little hand goodbye today, the hand that looks so much like my son's. I drove home, and then I cried.

Mountain Monday
I took off with my hubby's car when he got home from work this afternoon so I could go snap some Mountain Monday shots. When I got back, he said, "that didn't take long" and I said, "well, when you have perfect beauty and it just sits there and doesn't move, it isn't hard!"
I love this little leaf, clinging against all hope against the winter storms!
The Pea has a new pet! A mini bunny named Dodger. He is the sweetest thing.
Little Man got a new pet too! A dumbo rat named Ben, (As in Ben 10). Ben is my guilt gift to my son on Friday. Little Man had such an emotional day and when he cried for his pet rat Peter who died, well, that did me in. So now we have a new one. I am a sucker, what can I say?
Here is the Pea being a monkey:
This little piggy is my first commissioned piece! I meet with Bonnie from The Zoo tomorrow to facilitate the adoption process. We shall also do lunch! Yay!
I doubt any of you had a Monday as good as mine, cause mine ROCKED!

Customer Reviews
As I have already said. I purchased three plants raspberry Glen Coe. Two plants arrived in good condition. The third has been loosened in transit and fell from the pot. There is just a small ball of compost the size of a golf ball on the bottom of the plant and no sign of any roots in it. It is obviously not a root ball. I do not think anything in this condition will grow. I do not have a camera so I cannot send a photo.

In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple Watch Will Use Skin Contact for Apple Pay Security
Both Rene Ritchie of iMore and Cult of Mac report that when a user first puts on the Watch they must type in a PIN code to authorize Apple Pay. Once it's on, the Watch uses constant skin contact, which it can sense using the four sapphire-covered lenses on the underside of the device, to authorize payments. However, once the device is removed from a user's wrist, they must re-enter their PIN when putting the device back on their wrist.
Thanks to sensors on the Apple Watch's back, the device can tell when it's being worn and when it has been taken off. When you first put the watch on, you must enter a code. When the watch is removed from your wrist, the watch locks itself and can't be used for payments unless the code is entered again.MasterCard's mobile payment executive Ed McLaughlin also told Re/code that the Watch would use the four sensors on the back of the device as a security measure, while Visa CEO Charlie Scharf said that Apple understood the risks of contactless payments and has a solution.
The Apple Watch is due to arrive in early 2015 and will start at $350.

Unless they take your wrist with the watch...
Yes, I can just picture a thief walking into a store with a severed hand and paying for something with no one saying 'gee, that looks weird"
Not very secure. Crafty thieves would just have a slither of plastic at body temp to slide underneath the watch as they nab it. Im sure someone will start selling a tool. Bad idea to leave something authorised for a long time period. Asking for trouble.
Oh Jesus christ
Jerks making up flaws in a system they know nothing about that isn't going live for another month: 0
So you enter your PIN and can make payments. Then every night you get home and take it off to charge and the next day you have to re enter the PIN. Sounds like just one more POS to remember every morning while I'm getting ready for work. No thanks.
If your world is on the cusp of crumbling because you have to enter a 4-digit code once per day, you might have bigger problems bro.

We're BACK with another episode of The Friday Fix! Take 60 seconds out of your day to learn a new tip you can use to improve your fitness results and get the most out of your training! Check back every week for the newest episode. Get the archives here.
The Problem?
I recently became a member at LA Fitness to use their basketball courts and discovered a problem that I didn't even know still existed. As I look out on the gym floor, I see the masses of people doing their thing and among the cringe-worthy sights… this one pops out the most.
Letting the dumbbells touch at the top of your DB Bench/Military Press variations.
Please stop this. Here's why.
What's the Big Deal?
This may seem nitpicky and very unimportant but this is actually something I strongly believe everyone should avoid doing. I try to limit the times I speak in absolutes or say "this is wrong, don't do it," but I may have to use a free pass here. I can't think of any reason why I would want to allow the DB's the bang against each other – or why I would recommend it to anyone.
First and foremost, and I didn't even mention this in the video above, but this is not good for the equipment. If you get a couple of heavy DB's banging against each other for 8-12 reps, multiple times a day, for a few months… your dumbbells are going to look like crap.
If you're in a facility, it's disrespectful to the owners and to the equipment to tarnish the dumbbells. Again… tiny details but a mighty impact over time. Nobody wants to train in an environment that looks like the equipment isn't valued.
Secondly, this has a negative training effect. Let's look at a DB Bench Press. You are loading the pecs with tension during this exercise. Every time those DBs come crashing into each other, even if it's just a tap, you are redistributing the tension. In other words, you are losing chest activation and losing opportunity to make maximal gains.
Whether you realize it or not, you will not get the same contraction within the reps OR from rep to rep during your set. This means you're not going to successfully overload the muscle you intend to and, in turn, not get the most out of your training.
Lastly, this is just unsafe. When you begin to move heavy weight overhead or above your face, the last thing you want to do is challenge your grip. If you allow the DBs to hit each other, you may knock one loose. You may lose your grip. You're definitely going to lose some pec activation. All of these could lead to potential injury, with the worst case scenario being your face crushed by a dumbbell.
It's just not worth it.
The Solution?
The solution is really boring and simple. Slow down, OWN the movement and control the weight. Here's the deal… if you can't pick up both dumbbells from the rack, walk them to your bench, properly set yourself up for the press, knock out the lift, properly de-load yourself from the lift and walk them back to the rack… they are too heavy for you.

The sacred month of fasting — Ramadan — has come to an end with Muslim devotees all around the world looking forward to celebrate Eid Ul-Fitr on July 6 or July 7. Many filmmakers consider the festive season the best time to release their movies, and some of the most anticipated films of the year are scheduled to hit the theatres this week.
Three major Mollywood films — "Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum," "Karinkunnam Sixes (6's)" and "Kasaba" — will be released during the festive season this year. Here is a brief introduction to the movies that will lock horns at the Kerala box office.
"Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum"
The comedy romantic entertainer "Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum" stars Kunchacko Boban, Jayasurya and Amala Paul in the lead roles. The Boban Samuel-directed film has already raised the expectation of the audience, after the release of its trailer and video songs. The multi-starrer, bankrolled by Ashiq Usman Productions, is set to hit the screens as a Eid release on July 6 at the Kerala box office.
"Karinkunnam Sixes"
The upcoming sports drama "Karinkunnam Sixes" narrates the incidents that happen in the life of a few inmates at the Poojapura central jail. The convicts are trained to play volleyball by coach Vandana, played by Manju Warrier. The Deepu Karunakaran-directed film is being produced by Jayalal Menon and Anil Biswas under the production banner Backwater Studios. It also has Anoop Menon, Babu Antony, Gregory Jacob, Baiju, Padmaraj Ratheesh, Santhosh Keezhattoor, Suraj Venjarumoodu and Lena in significant roles and is scheduled to clash with "Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum" at the box office in Kerala on July 6.
Mammootty's "Kasaba" has been making headlines even before it went on floors in February this year. The film has become the most-hyped film of the megastar following the release of its first-look poster that went viral after being heavily trolled on social media. The 28-second teaser of the debut directorial venture of Nithin Renji Panicker has also gone viral, becoming the fastest Malayalam movie teaser to cross 1 million mark within 99 hours of its release. The Mammootty-starrer, which also has Neha Saxena and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar in the female lead roles, will be released throughout India on July 7.
"Anuraga Karikkin Vellam"
Asif Ali and Biju Menon's family entertainer "Anuraga Karikkin Vellam" will also be released on July 7, pitted against the Mammootty-starrer "Kasaba." The Khalid Rahman-directed movie has Asha Sarath, Sreenath Bhasi, Rejisha Vijayan and Soubin Shahir in significant roles. The film is being bankrolled by actors Prithviraj Sukumaran, Arya, businessman Shaji Nadesan and cinematographer-director Santhosh Sivan under the banner of August Cinema.

I read this book when I was training to be a nurse. It really opened my eyes to the patient experience and about truly caring and taking the time with patients. It shows how the small things can make a difference and about being "truly present" when you are caring for patients. It shows just what makes a nurse for those who are in our hands.

I inherited boxes of old linens,
now what do I do with them?
Blog| Laundry Tips | Marghab Patterns | I inherited boxes of old linens, now what? | Living with Old Linens
Linens have always been the "lowest of the low" in the antiques world, they were "woman's work," household furnishings in the realm of housekeeping. They have no particular value unless you have a buyer for them. (a provenance from royalty or museum quality importance may be an exception, but not always.) My main advice would be to keep and use anything that attracts or bedazzles you or that may be particularly useful such as old towels for dust cloths and have a tag sale with the rest.
Value comes from rarity, condition, beauty and whether or not things are in demand. Demand constantly changes but since 2008, mainstream trends are for things that look like Pottery Barn, hotel linens and items that are brand new. When Martha Stewart devoted an article to antique Turkey red damask tablecloths, prices for Turkey red work soared. That fad lasted a while, then faded. But just like other things that have gone out of style, the red damask that was acquired at those high prices is just generally worth far, far less now, although nobody wants to know that.
if your textiles have holes, please throw them away. If you tug on a piece and it comes apart in your hand, it has dry rot.
Please throw it away.
Bigger is often better (although "too big" is its own worst problem); perfect is better; rare is better; gorgeous is better; unused condition is better; high quality is better and, often, older is better.
The country of origin also counts... as French, Czech, Madeira, Italian and English usually have better work than Chinese. But old Chinese (pre-1930) is better than later Chinese. So there are exceptions to every rule.
Designs also matter. Figural items often command more than florals but only to a collector who likes figurals. Rarer flowers command slightly more than common flowers such as roses or chrysanthemums.
To research a value, my best advice is to encourage you to buy books on linens and laces and textiles and spend a little time becoming educated on them. Down deep inside, I am hoping that you also might learn enough about them to get hooked!
A great place to check the value an item is by searching ebay's "completed items" to see what prices similar things have realized. (You can only use this feature if you are a registered ebay user.) Most likely, you will not be thrilled by the prices of things but it is a great barometer for current prices and/or to see what is in demand. Most buyers on ebay are the end user; a dealer would most likely not pay that amount. Yes, I do understand that it takes some time to search on ebay for things that are similar, especially when you have box-loads of things. It's the same with learning from experience and from books.
It is called research.
How/Where to SELL:
• sell them at a tag/garage/yard sale. (be realistic; they are used goods)
• donate them to a charity for a tax write-off.
• look for someone in your area to appraise (yellow pages: appraisers) or buy them outright
• visit local antiques shops and to antique shows and look for someone who sells textiles. Yes, I know there are fewer and fewer; as I stated: "old linens don't have much value unless you have someone who wants them."
• call an auction house where you can consign them. Auction houses have knowledgeable appraisers. Many auction houses may not accept them because they can not make a profit on them. But, they will usually take them on if you are consigning an entire estate. (They also want/need to stay in business.)
• call a local used furniture / antiques dealer who specializes in clearing out houses. They will have the ability to assess silver, china and furniture as well.
• search some of the huge vintage textile show websites and scan their dealer lists to see if there are any dealers from your area. or anyone else who is buying.
• sell them on ebay. And, yes, I really do understand how time consuming it would be to wash, iron, measure, describe, photograph and list your items there, not to mention the packing, shipping and tracking them if they sell.
Even though stacks of linens often appear to be in perfect condition, it is not until one completely unfolds each piece or unwraps decades-old cleaning tissues, ribbons and plastics that one discovers damage, holes, repairs, water damage, dry rot and mouse nibbles. The weight of the linen compresses the stack and makes it look flat and new. Many times I have been assured that items were in new, unused condition and when I unfolded a towel or tablecloth, they were full of stains and holes. The owner's jaw would drop! "The stack looked so good, I just never dreamed..."
Also, when items have been professionally cleaned, people assume that their family member would not have bothered sending imperfect or damaged items out to a laundry or dry cleaners... but, in times past, everyone was more apt to repair their family linens and to continue to use things until they fell apart. Your heart might sink at the thought of opening a tablecloth that had been spectacularly packaged in cellophane and ribbons and stored for decades. But, you won't really know what you have unless you do. And, you can't sell it unless the buyer also knows what to expect.
Yes, size matters.
In bedding, when the modern world uses queen and king sized beds, there is no demand for twin sized sheets and bedding.
Napkins: the bigger the better. 25" and over is desirable. Three or four FEET is great!
Tablecloths: big is great until you get to too big. Some important old cloths were bigger than rooms in our modern houses. They are unwieldy, unmanagably heavy and impossible to launder, iron, care for or use.
Handkerchiefs: bigger is better.
Older is better. Handmade lace, other than crochet, is better. Perfection is imperative.
(Relatively) VALUABLE ITEMS:
Items that were made before 1900 (earlier is preferable: 1780-1850s) in impeccable condition.
museum-quality textiles, museum-quality monograms, rare items, unused is preferable
napkins larger than 24" (napkins are most valuable in sets of 12, 18 or 24. (fewer than a dozen is not really a set.)
monograms: a single letter is preferable than a monogram with two or three initials
linen pillowcases in superb condition that will fit queen/king sized pillows
handkerchiefs from the mid-1800s with handmade lace edging (that is not crocheted lace)
paisley shawls: most desirable are hand woven kani weave or hand embroidered
old handmade lace from the 1600s and 1700s such as bobbin laces and needle laces
or things that just seem mesmerizing and beautiful
crochet: in any form is not rare or desirable. Bedspreads are especially so common that they are devoid of value. Every household had "Grandma's hand crocheted bedspread. Every one of them was stored away and never used. They are large, very heavy and suffocating to sleep under. None of them were ever used. Gazillions of them exist and they are not rare.
In the past decade, droves of antique stores have gone out of business because "used things" are not in style. Everyone wants everything new from IKEA and Target and Pottery Barn. Call a local auction house, sell things on ebay, get on with living and let them go without regret!
My very best wishes,

You might be owed thousands of dollars in unpaid overtime!
Field service engineers, field service technicians, tool pushers, mud engineers, and other field service workers are a vital part of a company's operations, especially for oil and gas companies. Unfortunately, these workers are often misclassified as exempt employees and are not paid overtime. However, this is usually not legal. Most oil and gas field service workers are entitled to receive overtime pay and may not be classified as exempt, as their job duties do not fulfill all necessary requirements for exemption. Sometimes, companies agree to pay technicians a "per day" or "per job" rate, regardless of the hours it takes to complete the task. While this sometimes may work to your advantage, especially if the job is not very time consuming, it also can be a disadvantage if you are required to spend long hours on the task. Employers often fail to pay these workers overtime, which is illegal. Even though you have a "per day" or "per job" rate, that still does not exclude you from receiving overtime pay. If you are a non-exempt employee, then you are legally entitled to receive overtime. Therefore, if you are a field service technician and have worked more than 40 hours per work week, you may be entitled to receive unpaid overtime compensation. As a field service technician, you may be owed wages for unpaid work time that includes:
- Calling in to check your day's schedule
- Travel time to your first job site
- Travel time between job sites
- Meetings
- Other unpaid work-related activities
- Safety meetings.
- Paperwork done at home of outside the normal work schedule.
Can I receive overtime if I'm on a salary?
Many field service workers are paid on a salary and believe that they are not entitled to receive overtime. This is not true! Most field service technicians are not exempt and, therefore, are entitled to receive overtime, even if paid a guaranteed salary! Whether you are paid a salary, hourly or on a day rate is only one of many questions that must answered in determining if you are exempt.
If you are a oil or gas worker, field service technician, or field worker who has worked more than 40 hours per week and not received compensation for overtime, then you need to speak with an unpaid overtime attorney today. Contact a Houston unpaid wages lawyer at Kennedy Hodges L.L.P. for a free case review and discussion about your rights to compensation for working overtime.
To find out more about your rights to overtime compensation, order a free copy of 10 Biggest Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Wage & Overtime Claim. This informative book, written by the overtime lawyers at Kennedy Hodges L.L.P., contains the overtime law information your employer doesn't want you to know.

Sir Alex Ferguson blames the "X Factor generation" for condemning Premier League managers to weekly trial by public jury and, as one who could have been eliminated had the lines been left open at Manchester United in 1990, he will always be the riposte to short-termism. But the paying public are entitled to their voice and they do not always get it wrong.
Anfield hosted its latest excruciating audition of the season on Saturday night but this time it was not the Kop calling for Kenny Dalglish to replace Roy Hodgson but West Ham pleading for Paolo Di Canio to succeed Avram Grant. Their repertoire did not end there, with allegations about the visiting manager's private life interspersed with the standard "sacked in the morning". It was painful stuff, causing the co-owners, David Sullivan and David Gold, to shake their heads in the directors' box, though not as distressing an experience as the one their supporters endured.
West Ham's first-half display was simply abject. Havant and Waterlooville and Northampton Town displayed greater desire, adventure and, compared with Victor Obinna and Herita Ilunga, quality here than the Premier League's joint-bottom club. Liverpool, on edge before kick-off following defeat at Stoke City and the absence of Steven Gerrard plus Lucas Leiva, mocked any suggestion of a contest containing two managers in the dock.
Hodgson spoke from raw experience afterwards of the change in English football culture. "We have to learn to live with that these days, I'm afraid," he said. "When I first went to Switzerland in the early 1990s we used to watch French football and I was astounded by how often a team was booed off at half-time if it was losing or the cat-calls that came at the end. I remember saying to my wife: 'That wouldn't happen in England.' Here at Anfield in particular I remember seeing away teams applauded off after winning, which may have been a one-off, but today all of that has gone out of the window."
Yet while professing sympathy for his counterpart, Hodgson, along with everyone else inside the stadium, accepted the away end had a point. Hodgson added: "I've got to say I thought the West Ham fans were quite humorous in what they were singing. They travelled a long way to watch their team here. They came with high hopes and they've watched their team given very little hope of getting anything out of the game, so I suppose they found their comfort where they could."
It was only eight months ago that Sullivan penned an open letter to West Ham supporters that castigated Gianfranco Zola's team, and undermined his manager, following a 3-1 home defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers. The sentiment from on high, at least from Gold, was markedly different on Saturday. Gold said: "We came up against a Liverpool side back on form and we have to accept we are bottom of the league but there is no question of a change of manager. But we must do better." It is third-from-bottom Wigan Athletic at home on Saturday, and there will be no margin of error.
Grant's assertion that there were positives to be gleaned from a resilient second-half display was futile in the extreme. Liverpool were three goals up inside 38 minutes and hard done by at that. Glen Johnson, back in the side after injury and a public spat with his manager, opened the scoring after West Ham had failed to deal with a Raul Meireles corner and excelled throughout. Dirk Kuyt took Gerrard's advice to put a penalty against Robert Green straight down the middle following Danny Gabbidon's handball and the impressive Maxi Rodríguez glanced home Paul Konchesky's perfect cross for the third. Hodgson now finds himself only three points off fourth place. It may be a congested league but Grant is a long way from redemption.

And So It Goes On
The Normalisation Committee set up by FIFA and mandated to smooth the transition of leadership at the PSSI is being accused of succumbing to the demands of a pro reform faction in breach of FIFA instructions.
To show what a cock up the whole thing is the pro reform have asked the NC to sign a letter overturning sanctions imposed by former PSSI chairman Nurdin Halid on players and coaches involved in the rebel Liga Primer Indonesia and three key members have refused to do so.
One NC member is refusing to quit if it continues to dance to the tune of the rebel PSSI members and not FIFA.
Nothing is ever simple in Indonesia. Instead of just letting the NC get on with their job, and surely both sides are working towards the same goal, people just feel the need to stick their size 9s in, presumably to stake a claim in any future leadership.

The song comes from Durk's "Signed To The Streets 2.5" EP.
Lil Durk has shared the official video for "India," one of the most R&B-influenced tracks on his 2017 EP Signed To The Streets 2.5. The song is about Durk's infatuation with a woman, who hew ants to do everything "one on one" with, despite not being in a relationship since '09 (so he claims). "I can't lie, I can't tell my guys / That I'm in love and I feel so shy," he sings in the first verse. "And we both turnt up we from the Chi / But I don't ask about her other guy." The video finds Durk FaceTiming a woman before they get close in a bathroom and things get progressively more intimate between the two.
Signed To The Streets 2.5 is the precursor to Durk's upcoming Signed To The Streets 3. It's one of a few projects from the Chicago rapper this year, including collaborative projects with both Tee Grizzley and Lil Reese.

Zoe - gone to the Bridge, April 7, 2008We welcomed Zoe into our hearts six years ago. We adopted her and her sister Zsu from an all breed rescue...Zsu was 10 and Zoe was 5..Zoe would meet you at the door with a toy in her mouth and the ever present "whooooo whoooo" song that Clumber Spaniels sing...She loved everyone she met..she especially enjoyed her "spa" days and car rides... she loved attending Pugalugs at the park with Deb..Sadly today our beloved Zoe crossed the bridge to meet her sister Zsu.
Zoe has been dealing with loss of sight and hearing due to the aging process this past year. A few months ago she started stumbling and appeared confused and cound not manage her way about...the act of letting her go was our final act of love...Zoe will be missed.

Connected world
Driving smarter transport solutions
Paul Garner, Head of Future Business Technology Research Practice
The ability to connect billions of devices, extract useful data and then connect back to decision-makers - whether machine or human - represents a hugely exciting prospect for the world of business and for society at large.
It's against this fast-moving backdrop of promise that my Internet of Things and Cloud Services research and development team carry out the work we do.
The transformation of transport is a major area of focus for us.
And that's down to a number of drivers. For example, we recognise that there is huge pressure to reduce the amount of traffic congestion in urban areas.
At the same time, we know we need to find ways to provide more effective transport for people in rural communities including creating better mechanisms for transporting schoolchildren.
All of this is aligned with a pressing requirement to mitigate the effects of transport-created pollution and poor air quality.
All about connections
The work we are doing is all about connectivity and how we can build open and connected ecosystems that help make daily activities work more effectively.
A good example is the smart city work we have been doing in Milton Keynes over the past ten years. In fact, we are proud our R&D activities have enabled BT to become smart city pioneers in the UK.
And right now, we are working closely with collaborators such as the city council and many other industrial partners to deploy 5G mobile cellular technologies in central Milton Keynes.
Driverless cars
Our ambition is to generate vast bandwidth connectivity to be used by autonomous vehicles that can move around the city without human control.
Cloud and IT services is another area of emphasis for us. A good example of a successful R&D programme is the work we produced to boost the effectiveness of BT's cloud networking capabilities.
We have shown how technologies like software-defined networking can help us to link cloud computing, storage and networking requirements together and become totally on-demand services for BT's enterprise customers.
This research programme underpinned the launch of BT's ground-breaking hybrid cloud offering in partnership with Amazon Web Services.

Zio's Italian Kitchen Chicken Pepperoni
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4-6 ounces good quality sliced pepperoni
1 jar Bertolli Marinara (if you double this recipe, use 3) (or whatever your favorite is)
1 pound penne pasta
1 large sweet onion, julienned or large chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, julienned or large chopped
1 green bell pepper, julienned or large chopped
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced thick
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 small can black olives, drained and sliced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Olive oil
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese (optional)
Put 4 quarts water on to boil in a 6-quart pot. When water is boiling, add pasta.
In hot skillet, add 2 teaspoons olive oil, then sauté onions, peppers, mushrooms and pepperoni until vegetables start to sweat. Add garlic, olives and chicken, stirring often (I cooked my chicken with the garlic and red pepper flakes separate from the veggies, then added the veggies back when the chicken was done) . When chicken is white and onions are translucent, remove from heat (be careful not to overcook vegetables or everything will be too soft)
Drain pasta when done.
In large bowl add pasta, meat mixture, topped with grated mozzarella, covered with marinara and tossed lightly. Top with grated Romano or Parmesan to taste. Serve immediately.
Serves 4-6.
