Features & Specifications
OCZ quotes read speeds of 33-55MB/sec and write speeds of 26-30MB/sec for the OCZ ATV Turbo. Storage capacity for the drive is 4GB and the rubber housing is shock and water-resistant. The drive has an orange LED light on the end that flashes and glows when connected and data is transferring. Supported operating systems include Windows and Mac OS X.
Benchmarks & Testing
To test the OCZ ATV Turbo I used two synthetic benchmarks including HD Tach and Sandra XII. HD Tach showed an average read speed of 27.9 MB/sec and an average write speed of 23.5 MB/sec. That average read speed is right in the promised times from OCZ, though the wire speed is a bit under what I expected to get.
To compare to the recently reviewed corsair Flash Survivor GT HD Tach numbers showed an average read speed of 23MB/sec with an average write speed of 20.6 MB/sec. That makes the OCZ ATV Turbo significantly faster than the Corsair Flash Survivor GT.
The next performance test up was with Sandra XII's removable storage benchmark. Sandra gave the OCZ ATV Turbo a device index of 7740 ops/min, compared with the Corsair Flash Survivor GT's score of 9575 ops/min. The endurance factor for the OCZ ATV Turbo was 19.70 compared to 16.4 for the Corsair drive.
The final test I preformed on the OCZ ATV Turbo was to write a large folder consisting of 944MB of photos to the ATV Turbo and then times writing the same folder from the OCZ ATV Turbo to the system hard drive. Writing the folder to the OCZ ATV Turbo took slightly more than 1-minute and 9-seconds. Reading the file from the OCZ ATV Turbo and writing it to the system hard drive to slightly under 41 seconds.
As I like to do when manufacturers claim shock and water resistance for their flash drives, I did some real world durability testing consisting of throwing the drive down onto hard tile floors as hard as I could and running the drive through a wash and dry cycle with some jeans. I ran these same tests on the Corsair Flash Survivor GT drive, which survived without issue.
I was worried when the wash cycle with the OCZ ATV Turbo ended because when I extracted the ATV Turbo from the washer the rubber cap had come off. I feared when I first say that the rubber cap simply presses onto the ATV Turbo and relies on friction to keep it on that it might come off easily. I want to note here that I pressed the rubber cap onto the USB connector firmly before I put the drive into the wash. I fully expected that the OCZ ATV Turbo would be dead after a wash cycle where the cap had come off at some point.
Very much to my surprise the drive operated flawlessly when plugged back into my computer. The data I had written to the OCZ ATV Turbo was intact and I could open the files. I could also write new files tot eh ATV Turbo with no problems. Since water and electronic devices don't mix well, I can only surmise that the cap may have come off only at the end of the wash cycle during the spin cycle and not received a complete dunking.
After the wash cycle was complete, I recapped the OCZ ATV Turbo tightly and tossed it into the dryer on medium heat inside the pocket of a pair of jeans. After a full 60-minute cycle in the dryer was done, I dug around until I found the drive. Again, the cap had come off the OCZ ATV Turbo during the dry cycle. Again, despite the cap coming off, the drive still functioned normally. I think a wash and dry cycle are about the limits that the vast majority of our flash drives will be exposed too. While the cap didn't stay on the drive, showing a possible issue with the OCZ ATV Turbo, the drive was still perfectly functional.
The problem with the cap coming off rather easily turned out to not be that severe in my testing. However, it could be very severe over time. As long as you are careful and don't wash your OCZ ATV Turbo you should be able o use the drive for a long time with ease. It's one of the fastest flash drives I have tested and looks cool too.

Top 10 Cybersecurity Blogs You Should Add to Your Feed
The world of cybersecurity is never a dull one. Thousands of news and articles about the latest trends in technology are published every day, it's almost impossible to catch up. In a sea of tech blogs claiming to feature relevant news and engaging topics, we understand if you're having a hard time choosing one. Here's a list of credible cybersecurity blogs to help you get started.
Digital Guardian
Starting way back in 2013, The official Digital Guardian blog has been a main source of news and articles mainly focusing on data protection and threat research. Just like its main service, the blog focuses on preventing data theft on corporate networks, mobile devices, cloud applications, and other traditional endpoints. Aside from the latest news, the blog also features insightful feature articles, infographics, and their weekly news round-up Friday Five. To add more credibility to the blog, Digital Guardian recently added veteran cybersecurity editor Chris Brook to their team. Check it out if you're looking for content collated by a renowned data security provider.
Graham Cluley
Graham Cluley worked as a programmer in the computer security industry in the early 90s and worked for industry leaders in Sophos and McAfee before starting his personal blog in 2009. Since then, his pet project has racked up awards on an annual basis. It even earned him a spot in the Infosecurity Europe Hall of Fame. His security blog has been featured and quoted on numerous computer security publications, including Computer Weekly, IT Week, and the Telegraph, among others. Aside from news articles, the blog also features podcasts and videos from his program Smashing Security where he and other security experts talk about trending topics in the IT industry.
Schneier on Security
The man behind this award-winning website is none other than "security guru" Bruce Schneier. He started his personal blog in 2004 and he has never looked back since. Featuring the latest cybersecurity news, tech essays, and academic papers, Schneier on Security has attracted over 250,000 readers in its 13-year run. Schneier definitely knows his stuff since he's the Chief Technology Officer of IBM Resilient and a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, among his other impressive accolades. Aside from his blog, Schneier runs an equally influential monthly newsletter called Crypto-Gram that started way back in 1998. He also plays Pokémon Go, but he's not too proud about it.
Daniel Miessler
Another tech blog from a renowned security expert, Daniel Miessler's official blog stands out because of its diversified content. Aside from technology news, the Daniel Miessler blog contains essays, tutorials, and different columns regarding business, pop culture, and politics. It also features engaging articles about happiness, creativity, and humanity as a whole. Miessler really poured himself into it, claiming that the blog serves as his artistic avatar and to some extent, his own child. He started the blog in 1999 as a way to organize all the things he wanted to learn. Since then, the blog grew popular for being both an informative website and an artistic experience.
The Hacker News
The Hacker News boasts over five million monthly viewership and over 3 million social media followers, legitimizing its claim as one of the most recognized information security channels in the industry. It provides daily cybersecurity and technology news, analyzed technical reports and insightful columns for every type of tech enthusiast. Respected tech expert Paul Graham started the blog in 2007 as a cybersecurity news platform in an attempt to educate readers in keeping the internet a safe environment. With the help of dedicated technologists, The Hacker News bridged the gap between numerous tech communities from leading security researchers to the common tech enthusiast.
Krebs on Security
A notorious hacker group took over Brian Krebs' home network while he was trying to set up a firewall in 2001. This incident introduced him to the world of computer security in what he describes as an obsession. He was so obsessed, he launched the daily blog Security Fix in 2005. Four years later, he started his own blog Krebs on Security and it became a huge hit. The blog is built around recurring themes: online crime investigations, which is the main focus of Krebs himself; latest cyber-threats and data breaches; security updates in the hacking world; and cyber-justice, where Krebs writes about hacking suspects being apprehended. The blog was so influential, it helped take down several cybercrime groups.
Troy Hunt
Joining the list of security experts starting popular blogs is Australia's very own Troy Hunt. He is a Microsoft Regional Director and he doesn't even work for the tech giant, he's just very passionate about educating web developers about web security. His knowledge commands respect among the cybersecurity community, as he consistently demonstrates on his personal blog. Hunt writes weekly updates on security news, insights on various security topics, and short tutorials taken from his cybersecurity courses he himself wrote. Aside from hosting his own blog, he is also the creator of the data breach service Have I Been Pwned where users can check if their personal accounts have been compromised.
SC Media (SC Magazine)
An institution in the cybersecurity industry, SC Media claims to be synonymous with the term cybersecurity itself. That distinction is hard to dispute, especially if you consider SC Media's over 25 years of experience in covering numerous tech stories on different media platforms. From the infamous Y2K fiasco to WannaCry, SC Media has seen various technology trends come and pass. Their website alone features an extensive amount of content consisting of in-depth features and timely news, analysis and insights from top thought leaders, and independent product reviews. You can also check them out through their eBooks, newsletters, scheduled events, and their monthly magazine.
Threatpost prides itself for being an independent cybersecurity blog with great coverage on cybersecurity, ranging from cloud security and critical infrastructure to cryptography and web security in general. Led by prominent security journalist Michael Mimoso, the Threatpost editorial team pledges their dedication to produce quality content on a daily basis. Their blog is packed with the latest security news, feature reports, videos, and podcasts for every type tech enthusiast. Threatpost already made their presence known as leading news outlets including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, MSNBC, and USA Today, among others, has quoted their website on numerous occasions.
A bit cheeky, sure, but considering a 200% growth in traffic and 1570% growth in subscribers, we think our readers would agree we're worth a follow. We started our blog in 2012 and have worked since then to provide comprehensive analysis on the latest tech trends and security updates, both PKI- or crypto-related and otherwise. From think pieces on the role of cryptography and identity in modern businesses to deep dives into PKI concepts to technical how-tos and updates on the latest threats, our aim is to reach as many people as possible in the world and help them understand cybersecurity so that they can better use it to protect their business and their customer data.

BCG – Understood?
I have mentioned BCG in the past, but when I went for treatment number 10, I was told that due to the shortage I would only get 1/3rd dosage. Being the inquisitive sort (some, including my wife – think anal retentive is a better term), I decided I would do some more research via the internet to learn more about the shortage. But first, the long version of BCG. Bacllus-Calmette-Guerin is a form of bovine Tuberculosis that is considered the gold standard for Bladder Cancer treatment (other than an outright bladder removal). The full dose is 81 mg, mixed with 50 ml of saline solution that is inserted into your… Read MoreContinue Reading

Dear Friends,
I hope you will forgive me if I use this article for a moment of personal privilege. My wife and I recently returned from the college graduation of our youngest child. It was an extraordinary event for so many reasons and both of us felt deep emotion on so many different levels. Maimonides teaches that when our youngest grandchild becomes Bar/Bat Mitzvah, we have fulfilled the mitzvah of v'shinantam l'vanecha, teach your children diligently (taken from the Shema and V'ahavta in the Torah). On a secular level, we both remarked about the significance of this event for our parents. My parents didn't have the opportunity to graduate from college. My dad never attended and my mother attended for just a short time. Times were different since it was the depression. My in-laws both attained PhD's and spend a significant amount of their lives (and my mother-in-law continues to spend time) in an academic environment.
We both remarked about the special meaning this day would have had for them. My dad felt it was so important for all my brothers and me to graduate college and I remember the tense conversation about whether I would go for a professional baseball tryout when I was 19 years old. If I went to the tryout and was good enough to be assigned to a team, I would have had to drop out of college which was unacceptable so I did not try out. My mother was always the one who helped with homework and felt very strongly about the importance of a college education. We have been told that if she had been able to attend, she might have enrolled at the University of Chicago because of her academic abilities.
The day following graduation we went from Bloomington, Indiana to visit my mother-in-law in Urbana, Illinois so that we could celebrate this momentous occasion with her. She remarked how special it was to know that all of her grandchildren have graduated from college or are currently attending college. We also visited my father-in-law's grave so that our youngest could make a connection with the person after whom he is named and so he could in some way share the moment with his namesake.
So…why am I sharing this with you? As we sat at graduation, it was an emotional moment for both of us. I know that my wife was crying and although I would never admit this publicly , I had tears in my eyes. When we thought about how for the last 32 years we always talked about how our purpose was to be able to help our children attend college. Realizing that this phase of life is over (although loans remind us that it really isn't over yet:-)), we are both excited and in search of new purposes in life. Many of us make significant sacrifices in our lives so that our children can obtain a college education and teaching our children diligently is an important purpose.
As we discuss our "new purpose" in life, we are realizing that "teaching our children" never ends and that as they grow and face new challenges, hopefully sharing our experiences will allow us to continue to be role models and teachers.
Mazel tov to all who are reading this who are either graduating or have family members graduating. Graduation is clearly a very significant occasion in all of our lives and yashir koach (may we all derive strength) from these moments.
If you are graduating and/or are college student, please take a moment to say thanks to those who make your college education a possibility.
Shabbat Shalom and thanks for allowing me to share these personal thoughts. We feel truly blessed at this shecheianu moment in our lives, a wonderful time to give thanks and to be grateful to have reached this significant occasion.
Enjoy a wonderful summer!
Rabbi Bruce Aft

It's dark and cold outside and with grey skies overhead there are always thoughts of finding some winter sun. Somewhere people can top up the vitamin D warmth people crave so much at this time of year. Although I have to say - I'm not one of those people! The thought of a beach holiday rather fills me with dread, I'm not very good at the sitting around doing nothing and I can think of so many more interesting ways to spend holiday time. I'd always rather be too cold than too hot - cold crisp winter sun, maybe sone snow, beautiful views or architecture and plenty of things to entertain my … [Read more...]

Beautifully tasteless things
This is my first time linking up with Magpie Monday, but the purchases made yesterday were just too good not to share! I was spending the day with my old chum Sewlovecraft whilst Bernard had her first university interview (but that is her story for another day!) So to kill time while we waiting for the little ones to finish school and Bernard's train to get her back to use, we went for a charity shop hunt round sunny Bedford! And here is my new kitchen favourite - the most wonderfully, tasteless and oddly decorated pie dish! I can only imagine why you'd h … [Read more...]
Kids off to uni? Turn their room into a study!
It's one of the biggest moments in the life of any 18-year-old.

After the best part of two decades, the transition that has seen your loved one evolve from screaming infant, to cranky toddler, to moody adolescent has now come to an end. That appraisal makes it sound like it has been something of an ordeal, but the … [Read more...]

How to grow your own feminist
I didn't go to Blogfest, I don't know what was said. I do know friends whom I love dearly were upset and made to feel unworthy, which makes me very cross. So having written and pondered and re written and deleted my thoughts not to publish them but to clear my head and organise my thoughts as I often do, I found this in my inbox last night, with a little note "Mumisckles, would you post this on your blog for me?"

Is it too much to ask for decent service?
My late entry to this weeks Ranty Friday Dear High Street salesperson, Do you ever wonder why people do more and more of their shopping on online?

The best budget-friendly cars for students
Heading to university often means moving to a new city - and for many students, this will require them to buy a new car. All the latest motors can be found here, meaning it is a great place to begin their search. We all know the financial constraints students are under nowadays, so it is important they find a model that doesn't break the bank. While the actual price of the vehicle is the main cost to bear in mind, there are other outlays - such as insurance and the price of petrol - to take into account. However, there are more considerations than just cost when it comes to buying the … [Read more...]

Claremont, Calif. - Junior midfielder Claudia Zaugg (San Diego, Calif.) had a pair of first half goals as the Pomona-Pitzer Women's Soccer team coasted to a 3-0 win over La Verne in a SCIAC contest on Wednesday afternoon.
(pictured: celebration after the second goal for Zaugg - #16)
With the win, the Sagehens improve to 8-4 on the year and 5-3 in the SCIAC, remaining in a tie for second place. La Verne slips to 2-8-3 overall and 1-7 in conference play. The eight wins for Pomona-Pitzer already exceed last season's win total of seven.
Senior forward Traci Lopez (Sante Fe, N.M.) started the scoring with her team-high ninth goal of the season at the 11:07 mark. Freshman midfielder Sam Thompson (Huntington Beach, Calif.) set her up with a long through ball up the middle that put Lopez in alone behind the defense. Lopez took two dribbles to measure her angle, and then tucked a low shot into the side netting inside the left post.
"I think the biggest challenge for us coming in was that it was our third game in five days and the weather conditions were not ideal with the heat," said head coach Jen Scanlon. "I think we did a really good job of coming out focused and taking control of the game early, which took some of the pressure off and allowed us to rotate in fresh players."
Zaugg then netted the first of her two goals at the 22:52 mark when she scored an opportunistic goal by following the play. Sophomore midfielder Allie Tao (Alamo, Calif.) had the ball inside the box with her back to goal, when she turned over her right shoulder past a La Verne defender. She got a clean look, but her shot deflected off the near post and rolled back through the goalmouth. Zaugg's hustle proved fruitful, as she sped in past the La Verne defense from the weak side and scored into the empty net.
Sophomore forward Lilli Barrett-O'Keefe (Evanston, Ill.) then set up Zaugg's second goal by turning the corner along the right end line. She sent a low cross out of the reach of Leopards goalie Delanie Pacheco, and it found Zaugg open at the top of the six-yard box, where she had no trouble finishing at the 31:15 mark to stretch the lead to 3-0.
"The nice thing about having good depth is that you can put players in off the bench who can contribute with quality minutes," said Scanlon. "And it was nice to see some of their hard work rewarded. Claudia was able to get us two goals just through hustle and hard work. She was in the right place at the right time, but only because she hustled to get there."
The Sagehens outshot La Verne 12-2 in the first half on their way to the big halftime lead and finished with an 18-6 edge. Sophomore goalkeepers Emma Wolfarth (Arlington, Va.) and Jana London (Chevy Chase, Md.) combined for the shutout, as Wolfarth had one save in the first half and London had two in the second. Pacheco had fives saves for the Leopards in the losing cause.
Pomona-Pitzer will next be in action when it travels to face local rival Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Saturday for an 11 a.m. contest.

(a) Low- and medium-voltage three-phase alternating-current circuits used underground shall contain either a direct or derived neutral which shall be grounded through a suitable resistor at the power center, and a grounding circuit, originating at the grounded side of the grounding resistor, shall extend along with the power conductors and serve as a grounding conductor for the frames of all the electrical equipment supplied power from that circuit, except that the Secretary or his authorized representative may permit
(b) Diesel-powered electrical generators used as an alternative to power centers for the purpose of moving equipment in, out, and around the mine, and to perform work in areas where permissible equipment is not required, must comply with the following:
(1) The diesel engine powering the electrical generator must be approved under 30 CFR part 7, subpart E.
(2) A grounding resistor rated for the phase-to-phase voltage of the system must be provided to limit the ground-fault current to not more than 0.5 amperes. The grounding resistor(s) must be located:
(i) Between the wye-connected generator neutral and the generator frame; (see Figure I in Appendix A to subpart J of this part) or
(ii) Between the wye-connected generator neutral and the generator frame and between the wye-connected transformer secondary and the transformer frame when an isolation transformer(s) is used and the generator is supplying power to the other equipment; (see Figure II in Appendix A to subpart J of this part) or
(iii) Between the wye-connected generator neutral and the generator frame when an auto-transformer is used. (see Figure III in Appendix A to subpart J of this part)
(3) Each three-phase output circuit of the generator must be equipped with a sensitive ground fault relay. The protective relay must be set to cause the circuit interrupting device that supplies power to the primary windings of each transformer to trip and shut down the diesel engine when a phase-to-frame fault of not more than 90 milliamperes occurs.
(4) Each three-phase output circuit that supplies power to equipment must be equipped with an instantaneous sensitive ground-fault relay that will cause its respective circuit interrupting device(s) to trip and cause shutdown of the diesel engine when a phase-to-frame fault occurs. The grounded-phase protection must be set at not more than 90 milliamps. Current transformers used for the ground-fault protection must be single window-type and must be installed to encircle all three phase conductors. Equipment safety grounding conductors must not pass through or be connected in series with ground-fault current transformers.
(5) Each three-phase circuit interrupting device must be provided with a means to provide short-circuit, overcurrent, grounded-phase, undervoltage, and ground wire monitoring protection. The instantaneous only trip unit for the circuit interrupting device(s) in use must be adjusted to trip at not more than 75 percent of the minimum available short circuit current at the point where the portable cable enters the equipment or the maximum allowable instantaneous settings specified in § 75.601-1, whichever is less.
(6) The equipment portable cable length(s) must not exceed the length(s) specified in 30 CFR part 18, appendix I, table 9, Specifications for Cables Longer than 500 Feet.
(7) Permanent label(s) listing the maximum circuit interrupting device setting(s) and maximum portable cable length(s) must be installed on each instantaneous trip unit or be maintained near each three-phase circuit interrupting device. The permanent label(s) must be maintained legibly.
(8) The circuit interrupting device that supplies three-phase power circuit(s) to the equipment being powered must be limited to the use of only one circuit interrupting device at a time when equipment is being moved in, out, and around the mine.
(9) The grounding system must include an MSHA-accepted ground wire monitor system that satisfies the requirements of § 75.902; or have a No. 1/0 or larger external grounding conductor to bond and ground the frames of all
(10) All trailing cables extending from the generator to equipment must comply with § 75.907.
(11) A strain relief device must be provided on each end of the trailing cables that extends between the generator and the piece of equipment being powered.
(12) Prior to moving each piece of equipment or performing work, a functional test of each ground fault and ground wire monitor system must be performed by a qualified electrician who meets the requirements of § 75.153. The ground-fault circuit must be tested without subjecting the circuit to an actual grounded phase condition. A record of each test must be maintained and made available to authorized representatives of the Secretary and to the miners in such mine.

Today I'm participating in Where's My Backpack's Travel Theme photo challenge. This week's theme is "motion". If you like what you see, feel free to subscribe and receive nature photography updates a few times a week.
I took a lot of great photos of the Fourth of July fireworks last night, and I thought I'd use this week's photo theme on motion to start sharing them. Fireworks are in constant motion as they go up, as they explode, and as they make their way back down. For the first time last night, I did everything I was supposed to do to get the best fireworks photos I could get: use the right camera, a tripod, and the perfect settings in full manual mode. The trick is to have the perfect timing to capture the motion for the best effect. I still have to work on that part. That means more practice next year!
Here are a few of the photos I've edited so far. Remember you can click on these photos for a larger view. Enjoy!
Here's the first multi-color fireworks I've ever seen. Don't they look great?
I'd never seen fireworks like these below but they looked really nice.

films that make a difference
£ 15.00
In July 2009 award-winning director Nick Read arrived in Mumbai to work with co producer Batul Mukhtiar for 3 months, spanning the monsoon, the Ganesh festival and Ramadan.
We spent several weeks meeting and talking to hundreds of children to understand their experiences and challenges. Although local NGO's were helpful (Railway Children, SAATHI, Pavement Club etc), most kids we met on the streets – at traffic lights and soup kitchens, in day centres and doorways. All initially showed interest (many assuming we were Bollywood producers), and we started filming with a few. But there is so little structure in these children's lives, it soon became apparent that only a few would we be able to follow over several months.
We worked in the smallest possible crew: Nick, Batul and our long-suffering assistant Vishal Waghmare, and with a small camera (the Sony Z5, recording 1080 HD 25p tapeless – for the techies amongst you). Our aim was to be as low profile and unintimidating as possible. One of the unique challenges of filming in India is the interest a film camera generates in any public space. Sometimes we'd be filming with over a hundred people behind the camera – carefully persuaded to stay just out of the frame. So the mantra of all documentary filmmakers 'Just pretend we're not here' begins to sound a little lame. But in time people lost interest, and that's when we began to capture some sense of the reality of our kids' lives.
It's important to pack a limitless supply of patience when working in iIndia – especially in the monsoon season, when any agreed schedule goes out of the window. We'd wait days for the weather to clear, and the traffic to abate sufficiently to make a simple journey across town.
Without mobile phones or a fixed abode, just tracking some of the kids down when we arrived to film became a major headache. We met twins Hussan and Hussein early on, and at least knew that whenever we returned to the Pipeline slum, we could usually find them somewhere in the neighbourhood. There were other challenges filming in the slums. Once the monsoon set in, the streets turned into open sewers. Humidity levels were extremely high, when the camera lens would mist up – inside the lens, not just on the front element – delaying any filming by several hours.
We met Deepa one rainy evening with a group of several kids selling flowers and other trinkets at the traffic lights at Bandra West. If you've visited Mumbai, like as not you've driven through this busy thoroughfare. Deepa was so small and fragile that she became an obvious choice, but it took several weeks of getting to know her, her brothers and grandmother before we started getting the strong material in the final cut.
We spent weeks around Victoria Terminus trying to find a runaway child who had recently arrived there, and met hundreds of the (mainly) boys who live around the station, some as young as 6 or 7. Theirs is a much more transitory, peripatetic existence than the slumkids, and so many of them are stoned on solvent, it was difficult to engage with them.
When we met Salaam we only had a few weeks left to film. But he was such a smart, bright lad who seemed to understand what we were doing from the outset, and seemed to completely lack the 'self conscious' gene. Most of all we managed to achieve a sense of having fun with him, more than any other kids we worked with, and I'd like to think that ended up in screen.
Despite being a major tourist attraction, filming around Victoria Terminus is tricky. There are so many commuters (up to 5 million a day!) to work around, and – since the terrorist attacks of November 2008 – the police are under orders to move anyone on, including streetkids and film crews. (Ideally we would have liked to film in the station itself, but the railway authorities charge an eyewatering £2000 a day to permit filming there, which was beyond our budget).
Filming with children anywhere, and especially unaccompanied kids living rough, poses exceptional ethical questions. To all the children, we explained in great detail who we were, and what we were doing – their informed consent is vital, and we endeavoured to ensure nothing was lost in translation. We set out to 'give them the microphone', and let them tell their stories in their own words. Sometimes it took several sessions for them to express themselves – but it was always worth the wait
During the 6 week editing, we did our best to minimise our words (in commentary). No doubt the cynics will say we indulged in so called 'poverty porn' or manipulated them in a variety of nefarious ways. All I can say is we looked after the children while filming as best we could, and tried to present their stories with dignity and sympathy.
Since filming stopped, we continue to stay in touch with the kids who feature in the film and look after them. True Vision has set up a Foundation to fund their education (which viewers can also contribute towards), and we have found school places for both Salaam and Deepa, with the help of local NGO's. Now all we have to do is persuade Hussan and Hussein to return to school!
It's a drop in the ocean, but we strive to deliver a duty of care beyond our departure and the film's transmission, that will mean that Salaam, Deepa, Hussan and Hussein do not think we have forgotten them. We hope you won't either.

Our carbon offsetting service is here to help our corporate partners achieve CO2 neutrality and mitigate their impact on the planet. By offsetting your carbon in the wild Caledonian Forest, your business is also supporting a globally unique habitat.
Trees for Life works with corporate partners to offset carbon in two ways: through accredited offsetting (governed by the Woodland Carbon Code) and through tree planting (which is unaccredited). In both instances, our carbon offsetting partners are helping to restore and sustain a wild forest of global significance.
This product is currently offered to businesses only. If you are looking to mitigate your personal carbon impact, why not consider starting a personal grove of trees? Click here to find out more.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a major contributor to climate change. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon that has been locked away for millions of years is released into the air, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.
Since trees have a vital role in the balancing of CO2 and oxygen levels, widespread deforestation across the world has also had a negative impact by releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere.
Ideal for larger CO2e offsets
Scottish Carbon Offsetting accredited by the Woodland Carbon Code
Our accredited carbon offsetting site is located at our conservation estate, Dundreggan, and has the capacity to offset over 50,000 tonnes of CO2. This carefully planted site – containing over 250,000 new native trees which have been planted by 530 passionate volunteers – is validated and verified under the Woodland Carbon Code, the gold-standard for woodland carbon sequestration. The Code offers carbon credit buyers the assurance that each woodland scheme will deliver the benefits that we say it will, and that that woodland represents genuine new planting. Projects are certified to ISO standards by a UK Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited third party and an ongoing monitoring programme for the woodlands is agreed between the parties.
For pricing and availability, please contact us to buy →.
Great for small businesses
Carbon mitigation through tree planting
Offsetting through the Woodland Carbon Code is the best way to sequester carbon in an accredited way, but many of our partners prefer to take more direct action to mitigate their carbon impact. Planting trees in the wild Scottish Highlands is a great way to do this.
As a general rule of thumb, we calculate that four mature trees will offset one tonne of C02e. However, this can change depending on the species we are planting. This scheme is not accredited under the Woodland Carbon Code, but is a great way for small and medium sized businesses to address their carbon surpluses and make a difference to wild nature.
To calculate the number of trees you need to plant to mitigate your carbon impact, simply take your total tonnage and multiply by four. Your trees will be planted in a corporate grove.
Calculate your carbon footprint
We do not offer a carbon calculation service, but we can recommend this tool for businesses to calculate their impact: www.carbon-calculator.org.uk

Today I am excited about introducing you to Paul Loeb.
Paul is a another young entrepreneur that is a great case study of taking action.
I've been bringing you several young entrepreneurs lately because I want you to see how important it is to constantly take action even if you're not sure of what the next steps are to be once you take that action.
Your knowledge comes from the act of doing. In this episode we talk about several of the businesses that he's started. What it took to finally start getting traction.
How he created a business in one vertical. And then began creating other businesses that fed directly into one another.
This is a brilliant way to grow multiple businesses at the same time because you're driving revenue from your other businesses.
As always there's a lot to take away in this episode.
In This Episode:
- Treating your company as a business
- Understanding what it takes to grow
- Multiple ways to making money
- Staring multiple companies that are connecting vertices
- Getting paid to listen
- Building 7,000 members in a short period of time

- Getting rid of his __________
Paul Loeb, the 28-year-old CEO of DropTrack – an innovative file-hosting service providing simple marketing tools for artists and producers – has been playing at the intersection of music and tech since childhood.
Loeb began his career by assisting computer-illiterate neighbors in Aurora, CO, eventually hosting a web server from his home as a teenager. At USC, Loeb created the award-winning www.usc.edu/transportation website, expediting campus transportation and parking for over 80,000 students, faculty, and staff. Next, he co-founded Portcard, a Facebook app helping protect children from internet predators, partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of America. He went on to co-create Fresh Intermedia, a freelance app and web development company, making websites and apps for musicians, hospitals, real estate companies, and more. Loeb's creative character, as much as his business ethos, has always been influenced by technology.
The intersection of music and tech sparked Loeb's interest in EDM. As a DJ and prolific producer with dozens of collaborators, it only made sense for him to start an indie record label.
His NoEgo Records is now home to 65 artists. Today, Loeb is applying his expertise to help up-and-coming artists meet their goals via DropTrack.DropTrack is music marketing software for managing relationships with music industry contacts, streamlining processes for both content providers and consumers.

Paul's Favorite Quote:
"When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

My latest beauty obsession has been, without a doubt, sheet masks! They seem to be everywhere and it looks like there is a sheet mask for each and every single need your skin may have.
So, I have been trying a few sheet masks I was able to find here in Buenos Aires, but I was really looking forward to testing a real Korean sheet mask because I feel like this was a thing that they have invented so they probably are the best in this topic and also because I have been really into Korean beauty lately.
I have already tried their Rich Moist Soothing Serum which I like a lot (you can read my full review of this product here) and I continue to use every day on my skincare routine so I was hoping that this mask also gave me the same good results.
What I like about this sheet mask is that is very gentle and it has very basic and natural ingredients, such as, aloe vera leaf extract, hyaluronic acid, and Centella Asiatica extract along with 5 different types of ceramides which work together to strengthen the skin barrier.
The mask is very easy to use, it's divided into two pieces, one for the forehead and eye area and then another part for the mouth area. I think that this makes it a lot easier for me to apply. After you apply it, you have to wait for 15-20 minutes and then you can remove the mask and pat the remaining product so that your skin can absorb it.
During the 20 minutes, I left the mask on, it didn't move or fell from my face and it felt very refreshing, cooling and soft. It doesn't have a strong scent and to me, that is a plus because it feels more natural.
After I removed the mask, I could tell that my skin felt great, a lot more hydrated and recovered from all the stress I was carrying on from the week. These masks became a new weekend ritual for me now because since I have started working again I feel like my skin is suffering those fewer hours of sleep and maybe not eating as well as I was doing before.
So they are really helping my skin to be at a better condition and I totally consider getting them again in the near future. I really hope you find this review helpful and let me know if you are using any other sheet masks at the moment? Which ones are your favorites?
