Autumn looms, chilled like a moist towelette left in the freezer while you're in the middle of Rib-Fest on the other side of the house. The frost grows now on the pumpkin, not because mornings are cold, but because it's an aggressive strain of frost, whipped up from a mixture of devil loogies and grape Popsicle freezer burn. First, the pumpkins. Next, the neighbor's schnauzer. And…finally…you…
Oh, one other thing.
It's HALLOWEEN.
It's a time for the undying regret you live with all year to shuffle forth like sorrow zombies. Purge yourself of your failed efforts, indiscretions and occasional felonies. Bathe in the purifying rejuvenation of nougat and assorted chocolate confections. Here, I'll go first.
nom nom nom
I'm sorry I confused "Milky Way" with "Three Musketeers". Clearly, I'm a horrible, horrible person.
I'm sorry I compared your smile to a jack-'o-lantern. It was rude. Still, burning me with your candle was uncalled for.
I'm sorry about my leather trick – or – treat bag. But was I supposed to do with all those scabs I've been saving?
I'm sorry the Halloween party broke up early. But if people don't like to play bob-for-fingers, they should say so on the RSVP.
I'm sorry that "dead" isn't a color. It totally should be.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was bringing a friend along. But what was I supposed to do? He wouldn't stay in the casket.
I'm sorry I made fun of your costume. I totally wasn't fooled, though. Wait…who are you? Oh, sorry, I thought you were Steve. But he doesn't have two heads. My bad.
I'm sorry I screamed "This house is haunted!" In front of those people who wanted to buy your house. I really thought that shower curtain was spooky. Besides, I think you can probably collect insurance for the damage.
I'm sorry about sending your grandma the first prize for best costume. I thought she was a great zombie. I had no idea….well, my condolences.
I'm sorry for the rearranging of the pumpkins and other gourds on your porch. I agree phallic displays are not appropriate for Halloween. That's totally a Christmas thing.
I'm sorry I called at midnight to see if you were still alive. Excuuuuuuuse me for caring about your mortality on all hallow's eve.
I'm sorry I used super glue to hold my mask on, but those damn wimpy strings never stay attached. No big deal. I can be "Donnie Osmond" next Halloween too. And Thanksgiving. And Christmas. And, um, every other day.
I'm sorry I called the blood bank and said, "this is Dracula. Can I place a carry out order?" Ninety- seven times.
I'm NOT sorry I bought the ten pound bag of Reese's Pieces at discount barn I AM sorry I ate the whole thing. And also sorry about your carpet.
I'm sorry I ruined your HALLOWEEN party. Excuse me if I wanted to play something more original than charades. I thought "reanimate the dead pets" would be timely and fun.
See you next HALLOWEEN! (Unless I can't make bail.)

I am an Occupational Therapist Assistant. I know most everyone is now like "Is that like Physical Therapist?" or "You help people work?". I am part of a rehabilitation team and I work to get elderly patients home. I work on getting them back to doing things like dressing, toileting, and standing balance. One of the things people have to do upon returning home is to take their meds and learn to keep them straight. I made a pill sorting activity tonight that I can take with me to teach people how to properly sort their pills.
I found a pill label template and I edited the contents of the labels to make it easy for my patients.
I only included the name of a fake pharmacy, a joke doctor name (See one says Donna Noble…a la Doctor Who lol), real drug name and when to take it. I filled them with different colored beads and included an empty pill box for them to sort the "pills" into. I then used scotch tape to fasten them to the bottle then layer other strips to "laminate" it to the bottle. Done!
Now you don't have to use this for a therapy job! I have found many uses like party favors (filled with candy)….joke gifts…and many other! It's a fun, simple activity that had multiple uses! Make labels for chill pills, happy pills, fun pills and fill them with candy and hand out to friends/family! Go crazy and have fun with it!

Step 1In a medium saucepan heated over medium-high heat, combine the cocoa powder, corn syrup, sugar, coffee extract and water and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent the cocoa from burning, until the fudge sauce bubbles and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Step 2Remove from heat, add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the brandy and set the fudge in a warm place until you are ready to serve it.

His name will forever be a part of football folklore in Tahiti and now striker Steevy Chong Hue is aiming to become one of the few Tahitians to make the grade in a top flight European league.
The fleet-footed Chong Hue, whose goal in the 2012 OFC Nations Cup famously netted Tahiti passage to the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013, has earned a trial with France Ligue 1 side FC Lorient.
Marama Vahirua is undoubtedly Tahiti's most well-known footballer having spent over a decade successfully plying his trade for a variety of clubs in Ligue 1.
Now Chong Hue, who has previously played in Belgium's lower leagues, is aiming to follow in Vahirua's footsteps with a two-week trial at the Brittany outfit.
The trial was facilitated by Vahirua who made a call to his former coach Christian Gourcuff.
"I had already spoken to him at the time of the Confederations Cup to tell him that I had noticed Steevy, that I think he has the larger qualities of a professional even if he is still missing some of the basics," said Vahirua.
"I've explained to him that in a few months he could become a complete pro, a pro with a big future despite his age. He's going to train with Lorient and that's how Gourcuff can see if he has the level or not."
After the Confederations Cup I hoped that I would have a chance like this and now it's up to me to go right to the end.
For Chong Hue the opportunity is a dream come true. "It is all thanks to Marama and his contacts that I have the opportunity to do this," he says. "After the Confederations Cup I hoped that I would have a chance like this and now it's up to me to go right to the end."
"I'm not going just to say I've gone and that's it. I want to succeed. Being separated from my family is not a handicap for me. I've waited for this opportunity and I'm ready to go right to the end."
Chong Hue's football journey has already been a long and colourful odyssey with the 23-year-old being the only player on the Toa Aito roster at Brazil 2013 that was born away from the main island in French Polynesia. Born and raised in Raiatea, an island of just 12,000 inhabitants located 200 kilometres away from Papeete, Chong-Hue made the move to the capital for football when he was 17.
If Chong Hue is contracted, he will link up with club captain Wesley Lautoa, a fellow Pacific Islander born on Wallis and Fortuna who represents New Caledonia.
Meanwhile, Georges Gope-Fenepej, another New Caledonian who featured prominently at last year's OFC Nations Cup, started in the season opener for Troyes last weekend as the club seek to bounce back to Ligue 1 following relegation.

Veteran Female Police Officer Files Lawsuit against LAPD for Failure to Accommodate
McNicholas & McNicholas, a Los Angeles-based plaintiff's trial law firm, filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 20-year Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Veteran, Officer Tami Morrison, alleging discrimination, failure to accommodate, harassment and retaliation for attempting to protect and secure her rights under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
Assigned to the Workers' Compensation Fraud Unit within the Special Operations Division of the LAPD, Ms. Morrison was placed on "injured on duty" status for a neck injury in 2011 and medical maternity leave in 2013. Upon returning to work from maternity leave, she was placed on light duty restrictions due to her disabilities. Ms. Morrison completed an extension request form in order to remain in the same Unit, which was routinely granted; however, she alleged her extension was denied for having a "lot of 'injured on duty'" time. Ms. Morrison was then forced to transfer out or face possible demotion.
As a direct result of the LAPD's failure to accommodate Ms. Morrison's disabilities, or otherwise engage in the interactive process, she has suffered humiliation, embarrassment and anxiety, as well as losses in earning and employment benefits.
"After being transferred, Ms. Morrison's 20-year career and reputation plummeted," says lead counsel Matthew McNicholas, who serves as Panel Counsel to the Los Angeles Protective League. "She is entitled to a working environment free from hostility and the department has shown no sign of compassion given her unique situation."
Similar in nature in early 2014, Mr. McNicholas obtained a $12.3 million verdict in a jury trial which held that the LAPD did not accommodate several injured recruits in the police academy. In addition, Mr. McNicholas obtained a $1.5 million settlement earlier this year against the LAPD for failing to accommodate a 17-year veteran of the force after he injured his knee and required surgery.
Please see conformed complaint for more details.

Huh? Who is that?
It's the Lord, Noah
Noah, I want you to build an Ark
What's an Ark?
(from Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Guy...Right)
I respect the rights of all Americans to believe whatever cockamamie thing they want to believe. Seriously. I may decry Young Earth Creationists and their willful blindness to scientific evidence, but I won't insist they believe differently, so long as they don't push their views on me or anyone else. I also respect the rights of complete atheists, who believe that all that happens here is completely controlled by us and that when we escape this mortal coil, we become nothing but food for worms. They don't share my belief in the immortal soul, and that's cool, so long as they don't insist I dispel my own belief in some plane of existence that transcends this place.
It's all good.
It's all good, that is, until religion starts to influence public policy, especially on things like education and energy, which affect all of us now and well into the future.
Enter John Shimkus
Mr. Shimkus is a Republican (seriously; was there any doubt?) from Illinois who insists that Global Climate Change is a myth and will not cause us any long-term harm, because God promised Noah he was done messing with us after the Great Flood. As a result, he claims, we should continue to carry on as we please and not pay attention to whether our actions have any effect on the environment.
Seriously. I can't make this stuff up.
And no; that link will not be taking you to The Onion. The dude is serious.
So like I said, he has the right to believe what he wants. But here's where I am getting a little nervous: Congressman Shimkus wants to lead the House Committee on Energy and Commerce! To which I say, "Holy Carbon Footprint, Batman!" I mean, even if he's right: even if God is going to save the planet from burning up into a French's Fried Onion, doesn't it make sense to try to take care of the place between now and the Deus Ex Machina rescue scene? And criminy; what if he's wrong? What if the authors of Genesis, through the generations of oral tradition that preceded the actual commitment to papyrus of the Enlightened Word of God, might have left off a key clause, like,
"...Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though all inclinations of his heart are evil from childhood and never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done, unless you really really screw up again, and then I'm kicking you all to the curb."
I'm reading that covenant over and over again, people, and I don't see anything that stipulates that God is obligated to save our sorry butts from our own stupidity. I think He just promised He wouldn't flood us again. Am I missing something here?
The bottom line is this: Do we really want our lawmakers designing energy policy based on a 5000-year-old myth? Whose myth do we believe?
Are you willing to take that chance?

#84 - Interview with Ben Jessel from Kadena
Blockchain technology is still in its early days and has a long way to develop in order to be adopted on a wide scale by industry. Today we present an interview with Ben Jessel from Kadena who are trying to help with that. Kadena has built PACT, which is a programming language for smart contracts that is more easily human-readable than other languages out there, as well as a "Chainweb" which is an approach to increasing the throughput of blockchains while maintaining a proof-of-work consensus algorithm.

Cellular Automata And Complexity: Collected Papers
cellular automata and Complexity Collected Papers by Stephen WolframAre mathematical equations the best way to model nature? For
: Are mathematical equations the best way to model nature? For many years it had been assumed that they were. But in the early 1980s, Stephen Wolfram made the radical proposal that one should instead build models that are based directly on simple computer programs. Wolfram made a detailed study of a class of such models known as cellular automata, and discovered a remarkable fact: that even when the underlying rules are very simple, the behavior they produce can be highly complex, and can mimic many features of what we see in nature. And based on this result, Wolfram began a program to develop what has become A New Kind of Science The results of Wolfram's work found many applications, from the so-called Wolfram Classification central to fields such as artificial life, to new ideas about cryptography and fluid dynamics. This book is a collection of Wolfram's original papers on cellular automata and complexity. Some of these papers are widely known in the scientific community; others have never been published before. Together, the papers provide a highly readable account of what has become a major new field of science, with important implications for physics, biology, economics, computer science and many other areas.

In CA models of cardiac dynamics, the cells are either active, refractory or excitable. The length of time each cell spends in each state, as well as the size of the neighbourhood and the threshold for activation, are all adjustable parameters. A similar model is formally described here

Gliders In "Life"-Like Cellular Automata
An online interactive database of rules with gliders, by D. Eppstein.Category Computers Artificial Life Conway s Game of Life other definite class4 two-dimensional cellular automata were found in a random sampleof several thousand outer totalistic rules. Are gliders really so rare?
: John Conway's "Game of Life" has fascinated and inspired many enthusiasts, due to the emergence of complex behavior from a very simple system. One of the many interesting phenomena in life is the existence of "gliders": small patterns that move across the grid. Some authors have asserted that the gliders and other complex behaviors occurring in Life are unusual, for instance Wolfram: "Except for a few simple variants on the Game of Life, no other definite class-4 two-dimensional cellular automata were found in a random sample of several thousand outer totalistic rules." Are gliders really so rare? I have investigated whether gliders exist in many semitotalistic rules similar to Life, where the behavior of a cell depends only on its own state and the number of live neighbors. The results show that the existence of gliders is commonplace, contradicting Wolfram and calling into question his classification of cellular automata Jason Summers' c/5 diagonal spaceship in Life Online interactive database of rules with gliders Paper describing my glider search program and MSRI talk on streaming video Rules with self-replicating patterns
Cellular Automata
Notebooks cellular automata. (Tue May 14 175859 2002) This is the only sciencefiction I've read featuring cellular automata in any serious way.
: -T. H. Huxley Take a board, and divide it up into squares, like a chess-board or checker-board. These are the cells. Each cell has one of a finite number of distinct colors - red and black, say, or (to be patriotic) red, white and blue. (We don't allow continuous shading, and every cell has just one color.) Now we come to the ``automaton'' part. Sitting somewhere to one side of the board is a clock, and every time the clock ticks the colors of the cells change. Each cell looks at the colors of the nearby cells, and its own color, and then applies a definite rule, the transition rule, specified in advance, to decide its color in the next clock-tick; and all the cells change at the same time. (The rule can say ``Stay the same.'') Each cell is a sort of very stupid computer - in the jargon, a finite-state automaton - and so the whole board is called a cellular automaton

: 15 January 1997 There are few topics in computer science that are as diversely applicable and as actively explored as cellular automata. Much of the research going on in computer science today finds some basis in cellular automata or utilizes cellular automata in some fashion. It has turned up in artificial life, image processing, distributed computing, and encryption, to name a few. In fact, it doesn't stop at computer science; cellular automata have been used to model population growth, urban development, energy diffusion in a gas, decentralized goal-oriented behavior, and an enormous list of other things that I don't care to enumerate. Now that you're sufficiently intrigued by the topic, I'll proceed to give you just enough background on cellular automata to get yourself in trouble at parties . First, a definition suitably detailed to allow the article to make sense and suitably vague so as to annoy the mathematicians: A CA is characterized by a set of cells and a set of rules. The cells are commonly, but not necessarily (as we'll see later) organized into a two-dimensional grid extending infinitely in both directions. The cells have characteristics or states , generally something along the lines of on/off or a numerical value.

Perhaps men take the most care of their hair as it is regarded as one of the beautifying natural object of our body. It makes us beautiful and gorgeous. Moreover, a good volume of silky hair makes us look young. But, we torture our hair most to become more beautiful.

About Hopscotch Childcare & Preschool, Otorohanga
Hopscotch Childcare and Hopscotch Preschool are two privately owned centres in the rural town of Otorohanga. They're managed by the owner and Licensee, Charlotte Clapcott. Both Centres are open from 8am to 5.15pm.
Our centres are family-based with strong ties to the community. Our children are able to experience many out of centre activities such as: We take regular walking trips to the park, Kiwi House, library and Beattie Rest Home. Our local fire station and ambulance officers visit us at the centre. We get to watch the College school performance and Kapa Haka groups. In the summer, our Preschool children visit the local swimming pools every week to have fun and gain some water confidence. We visit the local primary school for their annual pet day. Every year we go on a bus trip to the theatre in Hamilton where we watch a production designed for preschool children.
We have a great outside space with lots of challenges, a huge sandpit and a vegetable garden for the children to grow plants and flowers. Our inside areas are open plan with high ceilings. Resources are constantly being upgraded and improved to ensure the children are interested, stimulated and creative in their play.
We like to provide a calm, consistent yet adaptable environment where all children can have fun, gain independence, confidence and respect, and have the opportunity to express individuality.
Teachers have regular planning meetings to discuss the curriculum and current focuses, which are based around the children's strengths and interests.
Our latest ERO reports are available on the Education Review Office website – see the link below.
Hopscotch Childcare is purpose-built and opened in February 2005. It's licensed for 35 children, including 12 under the age of two.
The childcare centre is split into two areas: Infants and Toddlers.
Infants are aged from 3 months to approximately 18 months. We have two teachers in this area. A Support Teacher works part-time every day to cover breaks and time off the floor to prepare children's profiles. We try to have no more than six children in this age group. However, if the numbers increase, we recruit additional staff as we like to keep the staff to child ratio at 1:3.
Toddlers are aged from 18 months to around 3½ years. We have four permanent full-time staff in this area. An additional Support Person covers their breaks and time off the floor to prepare the children's profiles.
Morning and afternoon tea and a late snack are provided by the centre. Parents are required to bring a lunchbox and water drink bottle for their children. The children have a short mat-time three times a day, before meals. All meals are eaten together at a table (or highchair).
Children are given free choice as to the activities they would like to be involved in throughout the day.
The Preschool is a fully refurbished ex-church hall and opened in May 2008. It's licensed for 30 children over the age of three. Children generally transition to the Preschool between the age of 3 years 5 months and 3 years 8 months.
Most children at the Preschool attend at least three days a week. However, this is a personal choice and not a requirement.
The Preschool provides morning and afternoon teas as well as a late snack. Parents will be required to bring a lunchbox for their child each day.
All our full-time teachers at the Preschool are fully qualified. We also employ a full-time office manager.
The Preschool focuses strongly on preparing the children for school. This involves individual plans, time for literacy and numeracy activities and emphasis on becoming independent.

Tech Report: Flexible RAID arrays
This month storage analyst Jerome M. Wendt's "Tech Report" takes look at RAID arrays. As anyone who purchases large-scale storage systems would know, arrays come with RAID, and generally mixed RAID. Wendt says the key to good management is " selecting the right mix of disks and RAID levels."
Jerome notes, knowing which RAID implementation to deploy depends on a range of factors:
In order to help you sort all of this out, our Tech Report this month is geared to offer you some RAID aid.TECH REPORT
Webcast: Flexible RAID arrays
Storage magazine extra: Accommodating arrays
Additional information on RAID arrays
Webcast: Users regularly encounter storage arrays that offer both Fibre Channel and SATA disk drives to complement their wide number of RAID options. Yet storage vendors report that despite offering multiple RAID settings, many of their arrays get configured simply as RAID-5. This webcast covers when and under what circumstances users should use mixed RAID configurations, the pros and cons of using mixed RAID configurations and some tips that can help users better manage their mixed RAID arrays.

With our heater's on high and the moisture being sucked out of the air (and us!), it's surprising how much water we loose in the winter when we aren't sweating under the smoldering sun. Today's guest post by Dee Adams reminds us how important it is to keep hydrated.
Since a young age, we have been taught about the basic food groups. First it was the seven basic food groups. Later it dwindled down to the four basic food groups, only to shortly thereafter endure a slight modification bringing it up to five. Because the general public was thoroughly confused as to what was healthy to eat, in 1992 the USDA released, what could be likened to an infograph of today, known as the "Food Pyramid."
This Food Pyramid has been no stranger to changes as well. Throughout all the various propaganda to eat and stay healthy, there has rarely been mention of water intake. The general rule of thumb has been that humans should drink at least eight cups of water each day, the equivalent of two quarts. For some, that is easy to do on a daily basis. Others may struggle to guzzle down even half a cup, as we live in a society that offers our taste buds sweet soda pop and other flavored drinks that only harm us.
We may have taken for granted how important water is to our bodies and our health. What does water do for our bodies? Because we lose so much water through our sweat, tears and urine, as well as our breath, that lost fluid must be replaced. Water transports nutrients throughout our bodies and carries off wastes. It lubricates our joints and to maintain that baby soft skin, we need water to keep our skin soft and supple.
Over the counter moisturizers do not add moisture to skin but act more as a moisture protectant to impede losing that moisture. As we age, our skin loses the ability to hold water, hence wrinkles set in.
There are cases where it has been revealed that the body can forego food itself for a length of time, but it must have at least water to keep it alive. Given the makeup of the human body, it is believed that when Jesus walked as a human on the earth during his 40 day fast in the wilderness with no food, he at least drank water. When the disastrous earthquake occurred in Haiti recently, there were people trapped in crumbled buildings and rubble for days and weeks. Some of those victims were fortunate to have had access to water during their plight and lived to tell about their survival tactic.
Dehydration can be deadly. During an afternoon of swinging the tennis racquet or playing golf out on the course, you certainly want to keep hydrated. One danger during such sports activity is consuming iced tea or even alcohol, which will expedite the body's dehydration. This could cause some to feel dizzy or worse yet, have a stroke. Caffeine and alcohol act as diuretics causing the body to expel water.
Not drinking enough water daily can negatively impact your kidneys, among other key internal organs. Did you know that kidney stones are created when there exists more minerals and salts in your kidneys than there is water? Keeping enough water in your body at all times is essential.
Because we are all unique, our daily water needs will vary. So what do the experts say in regards to the recommended dose of water to maintain hydration? The Mayo Clinic states the amount of water needed is determined by the amount of exercise, the environment, any prevalent illness and pregnancy. They further state, as long as you drink enough water to not be thirsty and can produce at least six cups of colorless or light yellow urine a day, you should be fine.
If you must know the exact amount of water, you could use a tool called a Hydration Calculator. This calculator computes how much water you should drink, given that day's activity. After plugging in your weight, amount of exercise, alcohol intake, and a few other health questions, it will reveal how much water you should drink that day.
Surprisingly, for example, a female weighing 155 lbs. with no alcohol intake, low exercise and not pregnant, it was revealed she should drink about 10 cups of water in a day. Bear in mind, eating a healthy diet will provide up to 20% of water derived from your food. Therefore, she could reasonably drink about 7-8 cups of water. Use these methods as a benchmark to determine where your personal water intake should be.
If you find it difficult to meet this goal of drinking water daily, there are ways to encourage this charge. Some people choose poor alternatives over grabbing a glass of water because it's tasteless. Jazz up your water by adding sliced cucumbers. And mint leaves floating in your water might add a nice zing to your drink also.
Get stamped with a "water mark." Bottoms up!

we have programs written in AcuCobol which use temporary files. They have been running without problems for several years. Now one of our customers reports that since yesterday they sometimes get the file system error 39,01. Our application has to be restarted after that (Batch Queue).
In the documentary error 39 is described as: "Existing file conflict with the COBOL description of the file. (open)" The secondary error code 01 says: "mismatch found but exact cause unknown (this status is returned by the host file system.)" Not very useful...
The programs have not changed. The disk is not full and there are no other temporary files. The file name is valid (i.e. '\s4kip').
What can cause the problem?
Check all files for duplicates with some third party app maybe.
Guess it could be a ntfs permission issue too.
A Pit Bull is like a gun you can pet. And there is no safety on it.

• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
• Food Safety
• Information Security
Corporate Social Responsibility
More and more organisations around the world are becoming aware of the need for, and benefits of, socially responsible behaviour as a means of contributing to sustainable development. An organisation's impact on society, the economy and the environment has become a critical element when measuring its overall performance and ability to continue operating effectively.
ISO 26000 is the first internationally approved standard to provide guidance on social responsibility. It explains what CSR means, what issues a company needs to address in order to operate in a socially responsible manner, and what best practice in CSR is.
Antaris can facilitate organisations who are interested in CSR with a range of services including:
• Training at all levels to assist in understanding CSR and related standards such
as ISO 26000
• Gap analysis of your business's existing CSR system and controls against the
ISO 26000 standard
• Implementation of a CSR management system based on ISO 26000
• Consultancy, guidance and advice on the options open to organisations wishing to gain
recognition of good practice in Corporate Social Responsibility, e.g. the Chambers Ireland
CSR Awards and/or BITC Awards
Food Safety
Antaris assists food producers to implement an ISO 22000 Food Safety Management system, the recognised standard for all sectors of the food industry, from local food retailers and caterers to multinational processors.
ISO 22000 specifies a documented food safety management system, which incorporates the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and the essential hygiene and infrastructural requirements for safe food production.
We assist organisations anywhere in the food chain to maximise the benefits of implementing an ISO 22000 based Food Safety Management standard through:
• Cost-effective control of food-borne hazards
• A proactive approach - identifying and controlling hazards
• Complementing other quality management systems
• Meeting the requirements of Irish and EU food safety legislation
• Demonstrating compliance with industry codes of practice and legislation
Information Security
Information is an essential asset to any modern business and its security is becoming one of the issues paramount to companies' survival. At Antaris we provide practical, understandable advice and assistance to enable you to protect and manage your information from a wide range of threats in order to:
• Ensure business continuity
• Minimise business risk
• Maximise return on investments and business opportunities
We assist businesses in implementing an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on the latest international standard ISO 27001, using guidance and best practice such as ISO 27002 (Code of practice for information security management).
Antaris can work with your organisation to develop all of the documentation you need to implement an effective ISMS that meets international standards. We guide you through the entire process, from defining your information security policy and security risk assessment through to managing the identified risks and preparing a "Statement of Applicability" (SoA).

I am a lover of plaid. It's such a fun pattern and I especially love wearing plaid during the Holidays. I wore this dress to the office recently and I'm planning on wearing it throughout the Holiday season. The colors are really festive. I love the pleats at the bottom, it's adorable! I paired the dress with black booties. For a office Holiday party, I would add high heels and a fur vest so I'm extra toasty!
I scooped up this top at this really cute store in Austin - where I was for work a few weeks ago. I fell in love with practically everything! I finally decided on this dress - perfect for work and for the weekends. Austin had a ton of cute little shops with the greatest clothes. I'll be sharing some of what I got in some upcoming posts!
I'm always stumped when it comes to deciding what to wear to an office Holiday party. Check out my Office Holiday Party outfit guide for some ideas! You're guaranteed to be the most stylish at your party.
Thank you so much for reading!

Influencing creative practice world-wide
- Research into the relation between humans and objects is inspiring theatre practice around the world
All photographs by Giselle Leeb
Object theatre uses everyday items not just as props, but as characters and key drivers within the drama.
Research conducted at Loughborough over the past seven years – into objects in performance, literature and philosophy – is influencing the methods and understanding of a range of theatre practitioners and industry professionals – in relation to object theatre – generating new ways of thinking and creative practice.
It is also impacting the learning experience of students at training institutions such as the Central School of Drama, as well as the ways the public interact with artefacts in museums including Nottingham City Museums and Galleries.
Collaborative work with Nottingham Trent University led to the formation of the Object Theatre Network in 2011. Events held by the Network to date have been attended by more than 130 key practitioners – informing performance theory and practice world-wide.

It is well documented that people who suffer from diabetes are more susceptible to developing infections than non-diabetes sufferers. It is not widely known that periodontal disease is often considered the sixth complication of diabetes, particularly when the diabetes is not under proper control.
Periodontal disease (often called periodontitis and gum disease) is a progressive condition that often leads to tooth loss if treatment is not promptly sought. Periodontal disease begins with a bacterial infection in the gingival tissue which surrounds the teeth. As the bacteria colonize, the gum pockets become deeper, the gums recede as tissue is destroyed and the periodontitis eventually attacks the underlying bone tissue.
Diabetes is characterized by too much glucose (or sugar) in the blood. Type II diabetics are unable to regulate insulin levels which means excess glucose stays in the blood. Type I diabetics do not produce any insulin at all. Diabetes is a serious condition which can lead to heart disease and stroke.
Reasons for the Connection
Experts suggest the relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease can worsen both conditions if either condition is not properly controlled.
Here are ways in which diabetes and periodontal disease are linked:
Diagnosis and Treatment
It is of paramount importance for people suffering from any type of diabetes to see the dentist at least twice yearly for checkups and professional cleanings. Studies have shown that simple non-surgical periodontal treatments can lower the HbA1c (hemoglobin molecule blood test) count by as much as 20% in a six month period.
The dentist will use medical history, family history and dental X-rays to assess the risk factors for periodontal disease and determine the exact condition of the gums, teeth and underlying jawbone. If necessary the dentist will work in conjunction with other doctors to ensure that both the diabetes and the gum disease are being managed and controlled as effectively as possible.
Non-surgical procedures performed by the dentist and dental hygienist include deep scaling, where calculus (tartar) will be removed from the teeth above and below the gumline, and root planing, where the root of the tooth is smoothed down to eliminate any remaining bacteria. Antibiotics may be applied to the gum pockets to promote healing.
Before and after periodontal treatment, the dentist and hygienist will recommend proper home care and oral maintenance as well as prescribing prescription mouthwashes which serve to deter further bacteria colonization.
If you have questions or concerns about diabetes or periodontal disease, please contact our office.

My son came in for his first dentist appointment today. I have been coming to your office since I was little, and my whole family comes there too. I was nervous for him to see the dentist because I didn't know how he would react - he's almost 3 years old. Everyone in the office was so great with him. He is already more excited about brushing his teeth with his cool new Minions toothbrush. I wanted to thank Dr. Owens and everyone else today who helped make his first trip to the dentist such a positive experience!

For a few years we've been experimenting with different stainless-steel plate stocks, trying to find one we could machine as consistently as the cast-and-ground tool plate aluminum we use in our Precision Squares. When we found one, we put many of the features of our aluminum squares into the new stainless-steel design, and then added a few more, too. The result is a versatile square, ideal for project lay out work, material and assembly checking and machine set up. Learn More
Woodpeckers MFT Layout & Assembly Square makes quick work of the often-tedious task of aligning your track saw guide rail with the fence of your Festool Multi-Function Table. At 3/4" thick, this solid phenolic square can rest flat on the table and intersect with both the fence and the rail at the same time. No more trying to hold a framing square along the guide rail and hoping you've got it aligned. If that was this tool's only trick, it would be a great addition your shop, but there's more.Learn More
At first glance, the Delve Square looks like a smaller version of the square almost every framing carpenter carries in his tool belt. But take a closer look and you'll find features that make the Delve Square ideal for every furniture and cabinetmaker. Whether you're laying out hand-cut joinery or marking up stock for machining, the DelVe Square offers convenience and accuracy in a tool small and light enough to keep in your pocket all the time.

Whether you have 40 years of woodworking experience or 40 hours, those tiny lines on rules and tapes can be difficult to see and even more difficult to transfer accurately to your work. Woodpeckers Saddle T-Squares improve your lay out accuracy with three unique features – a series of holes to guide your pencil, an edge that wraps around your work, and a high-contrast laser-engraved scale. These three great features are packed into tools that easily drop in your shop apron or carpenter jeans pocket, so you're always ready for precision layout work.Learn More
Drawing straight, accurate lines can be challenging when relying on a tape measure and a scrap of wood as a straight edge. Now there's a better way, the new Woodpecker T-Square. Whether working off a factory cut edge or not, the Woodpecker T-Square will help you draw straighter, more accurate parallel lines in less time than you can imagine.
When doing layout work on the narrow edge of stock, most typical woodworking rules are a little awkward. They usually need to be aligned to the face of your stock, but they're wider than the edge you're trying to measure, so you can't get to the stock to mark it without giving up the alignment you just carefully adjusted. Working on the face of a piece is usually a little easier, but you can still struggle to keep the edge of the rule parallel to the edge of your work.Learn More

In the hills of western North Carolina professional woodworker Greg Paolini builds one-of-a-kind commissioned furniture and exquisite custom kitchens. In his spare time, he tries to figure out how to make woodworking faster, easier and more enjoyable. Several years ago, he inspired us to come up with the ideal woodworker's pocket rule. Paolini Pocket Rules have been a favorite OneTIME Tool ever since. A simple add-on rule-stop and thoughtful calibration layout make these the perfect fit for your apron pocket. Answering thousands of requests, the Paolini Pocket Rules are now joining our permanent product line-up.

Woodworkers love the Edge Rules we introduced in the Fall of 2018. Sales have exceeded all expectations and customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. One request our "early adopters" made over and over is an adjustable stop, so our product developers put their heads together and came up with a simple, economical stop that fits the Edge Rule profile like a glove. With the stop in place, it didn't take long for one of our clever developers to figure out that we could now hang the Edge Rules in a storage rack.
For decades, craftsmen have used squares to layout projects on flat work pieces. Another handy layout tool, but often overlooked, is a triangle. It simultaneously serves as a square and a 45, all in one. A pocket or apron sized triangle is just the tool for squaring from the inside of boxes and drawers during assembly. Triangles are also great tools for quickly drawing perpendicular lines from an inside reference edge. Learn More
Get it straight. Whether it's your jointer or table saw, getting multiple horizontal surfaces on the same plane can be a challenge. Woodpeckers new 24" Straight Edge Rule will simplify this task along with numerous others in your shop. Learn More
Our reputation started with and still rests on our layout and measuring tools. Our Precision Woodworking Squares, T-Squares, Carpenter's Square and Mini-Square will improve the accuracy of your woodworking joinery, carpentry and home remodeling projects. We manufacture several different styles of rules, rulers and scales including the Edge Rule, Paolini Pocket Rules and our original Woodworkers Rules. In addition to those we manufacture ourselves, we also sell squares and rules from Starrett, Incra and Fastcap.

So my original analogy for how the mind works was the metaphor of the thief and the wizard. Your brain has two general thinking styles: Intuition, represented as a thief (i.e. System 1), and rationality, represented as a wizard (i.e. System 2). The qualities of the two types of thinking (hopefully) being intuitively grasped by the qualities you associate with thieves and wizards. Thieves are fast, wizards are slow. Each thinking style has its strengths and weaknesses, just like thieves and wizards; you wouldn't use a thief to cast Meteo on Golbez or use a wizard to steal into the vault needing two keys in the Ratway. However, the only wrench in this analogy is that the thief leads the party, not the wizard.
Reading more about how the brain works, and how we think, I think this analogy can be further improved upon. Instead of there just being one thief and one wizard representing how our brains think, it looks like it would be more accurate to describe our brains are more of a Thieves' Guild and a Mages' Guild. But even then, I don't think this properly represents the analogy I'm going for.
It seems even more likely that our brains are more like Congress, with some congresspeople acting on behalf of the Thieves or Mages Guilds. So I think a better analogy would be to describe our brains as a Congress with a two party system: Those who represent the Intuitionists and those who represent the Rationalists. The Intuitionists have the majority of seats in Congress, so Congress as a whole is going to lean Intuitionist, and there is very little bipartisanship in this Congress. And if there is, it's overwhelmingly only when the Intuitionists deem it necessary.
As a matter of fact, even among Intuitionists there is not as much intra-party communication as you would think. Moreover, there is a sort of speaker of the house, or press secretary that explains the decisions of Congress to the outside world. This press secretary is only given information that it needs to know about how Congress made its decision, not all of the information that Congress used to make its decision. The general public wouldn't want to know that, to get Congress to arrive at some decision, Intuitionist Jones made an under the table — possibly illegal — deal with Intuitionist Smith and Rationalist Jacobs.
There are a few experiments that show that when communication is physically severed between the two halves of the brain, each side of the brain gets different information. Yet, the part of the brain that does the speaking might not be the part of the brain that has the information. So you end up with rationalizations like split brain patients grabbing a shovel with their left hand (since their left eye was shown snow) while their right eye sees a chicken. When asked to explain why they grabbed the shovel, they — well, the side of their brain that only sees the chicken — make up an explanation, like the shovel is used to scoop up chicken poop! That press secretary, pretty quick on his feet.
But this doesn't just happen with split brain patients. It seems to happen a lot more than we think, in our normal, everyday brains.
So for example, there was one experiment where people were asked to pick their favorite pair of jeans out of four (unbeknownst to them) identical pairs of jeans. A good portion of the people picked the jeans on the right, since they looked at the jeans from left to right. But they were unaware that that was their decision algorithm, and they rationalized their decision by saying they liked the fabric or the length or some other non-discriminating fact about the jeans. Liking the fabric of one pair of jeans more than the others was demonstrably false since the jeans were identical, yet that was the reason they gave. There's still no persistent across the isle partisanship in your fully functioning brain, so the press secretary has to still come up with a good, socially acceptable story about Congress' decision for the general public's consumption.
This is one reason why it is inefficient to flat out ask someone something controversial. People make decisions based on information they don't even know they're using, and from there the entire existence of bias (the flip side of that is if you get someone to admit to some group identity or position publicly, they"ll be biased to act more in line with that group identity or proposition in the future without even realizing it). They're not going to give you their "real" answer, they're going to give you the socially acceptable answer since that is the entire job of the press secretary, and any psychological study that simply asks people questions has a fatal flaw.
Furthermore, it doesn't even make sense to think that there is a singular "real" answer, since there are multiple congresspeople voting for a decision based on representing their constituents, and different congresspeople get more say depending on the social situation that the person finds themselves in at the moment.
The worst part about all of this? There is an introspection illusion bias that makes us think that we're good at introspection, or knowing our "true" internal state of mind or the "real" reason we made a decision. People are biased to think that they aren't biased, even after they've been told about bias they still perform in a biased way. As though they were never told about bias in the first place. The only cure for bias is adhering to the laws of thought.
The link to religion? Well, if we have a two-party Congress that makes up our brain and how we come to decisions, then it makes no sense to think there is a singular persistent "I" that constitutes the soul. The concept of a soul is woefully inadequate in describing the human condition, not only for the cognitive science reasons above, but for laws of physics reasons as well. The soul is, at best, a metaphor.

The Lady in the VanDVD - 2016

Another movie in which a miserable, rude, self-absorbed adult behaving badly has everyone else tip-toeing around them.
I thought this might be hokey, but it turned out to be profound. Upbeat! Loved the authors' dual characters - aren't we all often of two minds? Maggie Smith was fantastic. Enjoyed the neighbors too. Ends on such a high note, was so grateful for that.
Maggie Smith is a true talent. She has made me feel much better about the ending of my story. It shows what people can achieve when they do not judge, help out the less fortunate, and befriend a senior citizen. In Canada they are our true jems in the rough, and I am glad I cared for many in palliative care. They are missed, but never forgotten. Who is yours?
I loved this film, as it's the perfect mix of humor and drama. Maggie Smith is brilliant in her portrayal of Mary, an elderly woman who parks her van in a playwright's driveway and, against his wishes, lives there for fifteen years. Highly recommended!
Titles that come to mind are 'The Man Who Came To Dinner', and 'Down and Out In Beverly Hills' (Bondu Saved From Drowning'). In Albee's 'Delicate Balance' neighbors move in, perhaps until death. The mysterious stranger here is a force of nature, and few would find more than enough of her very appealing. While the backstory might seem to locate the blame with convent experiences, it seems this one was off the beaten path long before that. All sorts of complexities are in the mix. This material started as a magazine article, became a book, then a play, finally this. 'The Making of' feature speaks to that, 'without Maggie Smith this doesn't get made'. If nothing else, this provokes some thought about how much you need to give to the beasties not in your group.
Maggie Smith is her usual bad-ass self and burnishes this film into something more interesting than a writer's musings. Raises good questions about autonomy, independence, grace and history, community, and aging in place--even if that place turns out to be a van. The English trait of tolerating eccentricity helps this film work.
This is an almost unbelievable tale, told in a quirky dead pan style. It could have been farcical, but that would have robbed the title character of her dignity and the story of its pathos. It could have been told as an indictment of various organizations, but that would have ignored the humor in everyday life. It's rated PG-13, but I think you might need more than 13 years of life to understand the motivations and relationships of the persons involved.
Very funny stuff in here! A must watch..
Heavy emphasis on "don't judge a book by its cover" with a little mental illness, inconvenient truth and helping the down-trodden. It's an interesting and slightly sad drama, but it may not hold your interest and unfortunately none of the characters are really easy to empathize with.
