"FUSION: fashionART" Exhibit by Ruben Gomez
Born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, but raised in the tropical Rio Grande Valley, Ruben Gomez received by Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio/Painting from the University of Texas Pan American in 2000. He is a self-taught artist that has also found a passion in teaching students at the Academy of Arts and Humanities (at La Joya High School). Also teaches, about the many elements of art along with the importance of art marketing and business.
"I have been blessed to have found a career where I can work in what I find passion in, that is learning, creating, and teaching Art." Said Mr. Gomez, "Art is undeniably about passion. It is about putting all of what you are, and what you are attempting to communicate, into what you have created. One of my favorite quotes by Vincent Van Gogh, derived from a letter he wrote to his brother Theo; "I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart." This quote defines me. I feel this is something that I have tried to communicate with my artwork. All of my pieces relate to one another either visually, or with a feeling. I try to capture moments that I find beautiful. Moments such as the way light and shadow wrap around a figure, or the way colors evoke emotion."
The McAllen Creative Incubator prides itself in supporting local Artists like Mr. Ruben Gomez, by providing Artists a space at the Incubator where they can display their artwork at no cost to them. McA2 is located at 601 N. Main Street, McAllen and opens daily from 9am-6pm. All artwork on display is available for sale.
FUSION: Fashion Art Exhibit by Ruben Gomez, opens on Friday April 7th during the Art Walk event, from 7pm- 9pm.

Smith calls first-place Falcons an imperfect 4-0
Associated Press | Last updated October 01, 2012
The Atlanta Falcons are an imperfect 4-0. That was the message from coach Mike Smith on Monday, one day after Atlanta's 30-28 win over Carolina. Matt Ryan, whose health is crucial to the Falcons' continued success, was sacked a career-high seven times. Smith says pass protection must improve but the line doesn't deserve all the blame. Smith says the defense gave up too many explosive plays to Cam Newton and the Panthers. Smith also critiqued himself. He says he was too emotional when he grabbed assistant coach Ray Hamilton as the Falcons had only 10 defensive players on the field in the closing seconds. Despite the imperfections, Atlanta leads second-place Carolina and Tampa Bay by three games in the NFC South. The Falcons play Sunday at Washington.

Lowlights and Highlights for Brunettes
Both on light and brunette hair highlights and lowlights look great. Search for the latest trendy and hot hair highlights and take blond hues to have a natural look. Several years ago strong colors have been commanding the hair color scene. We can say that lowlight and highlight shades are again back because these hairstyles create both tempting and chic looks. Females who showed their love for brunette hairstyles, gained a wonderful styled hair by changing properties of colored layers. If you are ready for different kinds of experiments try lowlights and highlights for brunettes.
It is important to think about the technique you will go for before trying these hairstyle. So, highlights were made to brighten and lighten hair color by using special shades that are much brighter than your hair, while lowlights were created to add darker shades to hair. With these shades you are going to have a fashionable and at the same time natural look. Nowadays hair coloring methods synthesize the power of highlights and lowlights to gain more natural alluring effects that are graceful, so feel free and do not afraid to use these techniques to get unforgettable and astonishing hairstyle.If blonde highlights on brunettes are not the result that you would like to have, go for softer and warmer tones like mocha, caramel, honey, light brown, which are one of the best highlights for brunettes. To add more sharpness to the look you can choose blonde highlights, then coloring pigments will turn them into yellow, green, purple or cute pink highlights.
Brunette with bright highlights
Day by day lowlights for brunettes get richer hues and give you an opportunity to have a unique hair color which is impossible to get on basis of your hair. Highlighting is usually possible to do by using peroxide so if you want to get your desired result you should try to find really a professional hairstylist. If highlighting is not right done the chances of damaging your natural and healthy hair are great. Fabulous and pretty locks will complete your highlighted or lowlighted hairstyle.
Here we have several pictures of lowlighted and highlighted hairstyles which can inspire you.

2016 has been a turbulent year, and I am a bit worried it's just a warm-up for things to come ... but let's keep the hope, do good things, create lovely stuff, be nice to people of all stripes and see if we can help steer things back on course in some way (even if it takes a little while).
Best foot forward!

Daniel G. Stroppa holds a Diploma (2007) in Engineering Physics from the Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil and a PhD (2011) in Mechanical Engineering from the State University of Campinas, Brazil, with the thesis "Nanocrystals modeling by advanced QHRTEM techniques". During his doctorate, he worked on the quantitative characterization of oxide nanocrystals using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and complementary techniques. As a post-doctoral researcher he stayed for 2 years (2011-2013) at the Ernst Ruska Centre in Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. There he worked with advanced TEM techniques aiming on the extraction of quantitative information from nanostructures with high spatial resolution. For this purpose he explored imaging and spectroscopy TEM approaches and theoretical calculations. In January 2013 he started as a Staff Researcher at the INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, where his research will be focused on the development of quantitative TEM techniques and their application to improve nanostructured semiconductor devices.

Former Evansville News Anchor Makes Global Mission Trip [PHOTOS]
couple of years ago, I met really cool chick at the BBQ Festival in Owensboro. She worked in the media business too on a local TV station, so after a long evening of covering the Fest, a few of us went out for pizza and beer. Of course, in this digital age, we found each other on Facebook and became official "friends." A few months later, I noticed that she rented out her condo in Newburgh and had moved to Louisville to work at a much bigger station. Then, I noticed on Facebook that she quit media all together and was about to embark on a journey around the world.

Hi all, I don't know if this is the place to ask but I'm checking for any any reputable pay day loan entities? I've seen the scams but wonder are there any that are actually decent companies? Seems like I could use them in my situation.
Any advice helpful.
As far as I am aware, payday loans are incredibly dangerous and can amount to a lot of unnecessary trouble. Are you not able to speak to your bank about a loan or an overdraft instead? This could really damage your credit score, as well as make any debt problems you have significantly worse.
Perhaps speak to those you owe money as well, or temporarily borrow off of a family member?
Good luck!

Oculus Rooms and Parties explained: How does Facebook see us being social in VR?Oculus
Virtual reality isn't limited to gaming.
Ever since the Oculus Rift VR headset debuted a few years ago, most of the talk surrounding the latest VR craze has centered around gaming. Most of the demos we've seen for the Rift, for instance, are some type of game. Although we know VR can extend into other applications, including to travel across the world from the comfort of your home, one area that hasn't been discussed a lot is social.
Well, Facebook-owned Oculus VR has a social strategy and recently demoed it while at the Oculus Connect 3 conference in early October. Here's everything you need to know about being social in VR, including the Oculus platform's new social features and coming support for live streaming.
How does Facebook see us being social in VR?
Think about it: imagine being able to step into a VR world and communicate with your best friend who lives in some far-away country. The two of you can chat with each other, play cards together, watch movies, and do whatever you want - including take selfies using virtual selfie sticks.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently demoed this exact type of functionality for the Oculus platform. He showed developers what a "live VR chat" experience looks like, and then Oculus VR introduced two new social features - called Rooms and Parties - for Rift and Gear VR owners. Oculus VR also announced that it would soon support the ability to livestream straight from the Rift headset.
What is 'live VR chat' for Oculus?
It's an in-development project that Facebook is working on so that you can use VR to be social. These were the key concepts demoed:
While on stage at Connect 3, Zuckerberg put on a Rift headset and jumped into a VR social experience he called "live VR chat". We saw cartoon avatars appear of Zuckerberg and two Oculus engineers. Their avatars displayed emotions and facial expressions in real time. The Rift's Touch controllers come with new emotion options, which allowed Zuckerberg and the others to show their expressions such as smiling, etc.
Live locations
Zuckerberg also showed how the Rift's live VR chat experience not only gives your own avatar but also allows you and your friends to travel to anywhere in the world - and beyond. He instantly went from Oculus Connect 3 to Mars, and then he went to Facebook's offices. After that, he went home to check his dog, Beast, and make a video call with his wife, Pricilla. The three of them even took a selfie with a virtual selfie stick.
Oculus VR doesn't just want you to have avatars and be able to transport anywhere; it wants you to be able to interact and engage with friends. During the live VR chat demo, Zuckerberg played cards with two Oculus engineers and fenced with them. He also watched a video of a falcon, and the video was able to expand into a cinema-size screen so that the three of them could watch it together as if it were a movie.
Then, when Zuckerberg went home during the demo, he showed developers that he could open up a video call through Facebook Messenger, then he chatted with Priscilla in real-time, and took a photo with her. He even posted that photo to Facebook. Again, while all this was happening, he stood on stage at Connect 3, and his avatar did all the traveling, chatting, and social interacting. He just live-streamed the whole thing.
What are the new Oculus social features?
To make live VR chat possible for Oculus users today, Oculus introduced two new social features, called Rooms and Parties, and announced that support for live streaming from VR headsets is coming to the platform.
Rooms and Parties
Lauren Vegter, Oculus platform product manager, took the stage to demo Parties, which allows you to chat with friends on your friend's list, and Rooms, which is a a social VR hangout for up to eight people. While Parties lets you message and connect up to eight people for a voice chat, Rooms lets those friends meet up in a lounge and watch videos together (provided by Facebook), listen to music, and play games.
You can even gather around an app launcher in Rooms, which allows everyone to jump into the same game or experience at the same time. Oculus is offering developers the coordinated app launch API so they can integrate it into their multiplayer games and experiences. Both Rooms and Parties will be coming to Gear VR and Oculus Rift.
Live streaming
In order to show developers in the audience at Connect 3 how live VR chat works, Zuckerberg put on the Rift and live-streamed his view straight from the headset. Oculus said support for live streaming is coming soon to the Oculus platform, so that you can show your friends your view too.
When will these features be available?
Facebook launched Oculus Rooms and Parties on 16 December 2016 for the Gear VR headset and the Oculus platform, thought the feature set won't be available for the Oculus Rift headset until early 2017.

P&G's Lafley Makes Progress on Cost Cuts as Sales FalterLeslie Patton
Procter & Gamble Co. Chief Executive Officer A.G. Lafley is making progress on trimming costs from the world's largest consumer-products company. Reviving sales growth has been harder.
The maker of Tide detergent and Pampers diapers today posted third-quarter profit that topped analysts' estimates, helped by a 5.1 percent drop in selling, general and administrative costs. Yet sales fell 0.2 percent, missing expectations because of declines in its beauty and grooming businesses as well as a strong dollar that reduced the value of its revenue abroad.
Since returning to P&G last year, Lafley has sought to increase productivity by reducing expenses while at the same time creating new products that will boost revenue and win market share. He's also re-evaluating P&G's portfolio of businesses and earlier this month agreed to sell most of its pet-food operations.
"We're operating in a slow-growth, highly competitive environment, which places even greater importance on strong innovation and productivity improvement," Lafley said today in a statement.
Net income in the three months ended March 31 climbed 1.7 percent to $2.61 billion, or 90 cents a share, from $2.57 billion, or 88 cents, a year earlier, Cincinnati-based P&G said in the statement. Excluding certain items, profit was $1.04 a share. Analysts estimated $1.02, the average of 24 projections compiled by Bloomberg.
P&G fell 0.3 percent to $80.36 at the close in New York. The shares have slid 1.3 percent this year, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 1.5 percent.
Sales Fall
Sales fell 0.2 percent to $20.6 billion. Analysts estimated $20.7 billion, on average. Net sales were down in the company's beauty, grooming, health care and baby, feminine and family-care business units.
Revenue in its home-care unit rose 2 percent in the quarter, driven by a 6 percent increase in sales volume. Selling, general and administrative costs fell 5.1 percent in the quarter.
The company reiterated its forecast for profit growth, excluding certain items, of much as 5 percent in fiscal 2014.
Lafley, who first led the company from 2000 to 2009, replaced Bob McDonald last year after P&G lost market share in some important categories and trailed competitors in sales growth.
Earlier this month, P&G agreed to sell the Iams, Eukanuba and Natura pet-food lines in some markets to Mars Inc. for about $2.9 billion. The sale, which would include the brands' businesses mainly in Europe, may help P&G as the stronger dollar weighs on international revenue.
Sales growth for the year will be hurt by foreign-currency exchange by as much as 3 percent, P&G said today.

Seven Mistakes To Avoid In An Rv Road Trip With Family Members
Flash lights? Check!
Folding chairs? Check!
Graham crackers and marshmallows? Check!
According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), a US-based motor federation, 76 percent of families prefer a road trip to any other form of traveling. After all, family road trips do have a unique set of benefits. Interstate traveling in used recreational vehicles (RV) is more cost-effective for a large family than taking a trip by rail or air. With different age group of people touring together, they can take frequent breaks whenever they feel the urge, whether it be to cook a small barbeque meal or gaze at the setting sun over the horizon. In fact, these little moments can serve the real purpose of the road trip – to improve the familial bonds.
Before potential RV buyers take the decision of purchasing the rig from a reputed broker, they need to realize that a road trip with different generations of family members will not result in a smooth ride every day. However, they can obviously stay away from making the most common mistakes during family road trips. This will ensure memories worth cherishing for a very long time.
Here are seven things you should avoid during a family road trip:
Mistake 1: Choosing the wrong RV size:
Often in a bid to save money, RV buyers end up purchasing a rig that is either too small or too big for their families. Buyers need to find reputed brokers online or in their locality, and go through their collection very carefully. They need to inform the broker about their family size and different requirements of each member. This will make it easier for the broker to suggest them the perfect Class A, B or C rig.
Mistake 2: Traveling during the peak seasons:
One of the biggest blunders during a road trip is to select a period that is a favorite of RV travelers. Crowds are an annoyance for everyone. Furthermore, camp site owners are also in a mood to boost business during the road trip seasons such as spring breaks. Campsites have huge tariff rates and roadside stalls sell goods at skyrocketing prices. Too many people around you can spoil the comfort level that your family needs to enjoy the trip.
Mistake 3: Booking the campsite late:
An increasing number of families are adopting the RV lifestyle. As a result, the campsites usually remain full. It can be a tricky business if you are planning to reach a campsite and then book a place. Stop acting like a vagabond bachelor when you have the responsibility of a family. A successful RV road trip requires prior planning of the route and the stopovers. If you know where you're considering parking the rig for the night, why not book it beforehand? If your rig is a big one, it's better to book two spots rather than squeezing it in a tight space.
Mistake 4: Excluding others in the planning process:
Not everything can be done alone, especially when it comes to chalking out the plan for a family trip. If you keep everything to yourself and ignore inputs from others, chances of a goof up are naturally higher. According to a research by hospitality brand Wyndham Group, over 50 percent of kids feel that they are better trip organizers than their parents are. Therefore, involve everyone in the planning process and combine every idea to come up with a unique schedule.
Mistake 5: Eating questionable food:
Even if you or some of your family members love gorging on street food, it's not the smartest thing to do during an RV vacation. Down with food poisoning and raging a battle to get inside the single bathroom with your dearest is not a very desirable thing to do on a road trip. Avoid eating food whose ingredients you are not sure of, or is not stored hygienically. Avoid drinking tap water; instead buy bottles of packaged drinking water, as they are much safer.
Mistake 6: Forcing people to have fun:
The best memories are created when you're not looking for them. Yes, a road trip is meant to be a fun time that your family can enjoy together. However, you might end up getting people riled up if you keep on reminding them about the 'need' to have fun. A road trip is more about soaking up nature than indulging in activities per say. Let things take their own turn. Traveling in an RV amid the beautiful countryside will soon lift their spirits up, and they will be able to enjoy the journey as they wish. For occasional engagements, don't forget to pack some board games though.
Mistake 7: Spending all the time together:
Eating a meal with everyone sitting around the campfire is a different story. No matter how much you love your family, don't forget that everyone has a distinct idea about a road trip. While some may want to go swimming in a lake nearby, others may seek a trekking adventure in the forest. No one wants to spend the entire day with family members, doing the same thing as they would have done, back home. If some people want to head to the beach, others may just want to stay inside the RV and read a book. Don't be obstinate with 'togetherness'.
Lastly, never forget that this is your vacation, too. Never ignore the fact that you've earned this family road trip as much as anybody else. It's a tough job being the primary planner, as you start feeling obliged to monitor whether everyone is happy or not. Although you've put your heart and soul into the road trip, don't fail to remember that you need to relax as well. Get that extra load off your shoulders every now and then, and make the most of this time with your family.
Planning a family vacation on the road is a great way to rejuvenate the loose ties between ménages. However, RV buyers need to avoid making the common mistakes when they are on a road trip with family members. Only then can they expect to create an unforgettable vacation that is etched deeply into everyone's memory.

I'm at the twenty-fifth Security Protocols Workshop, of which the theme is protocols with multiple objectives. I'll try to liveblog the talks in followups to this post.
Category Archives: Security engineering
The University is Hiring
We're looking for a Chief Information Security Officer. This isn't a research post here at the lab, but across the yard in University Information Services, where they manage our networks and our administrative systems. There will be opportunities to work with security researchers like us, but the main task is protecting Cambridge from all sorts of online bad actors. If you would like to be in the thick of it, and you know what you're doing, here's how you can apply.
Last week I gave a keynote talk at CCS about DigiTally, a project we've been working on to extend mobile payments to areas where the network is intermittent, congested or non-existent.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation called for ways to increase the use of mobile payments, which have been transformative in many less developed countries. We did some research and found that network availability and cost were the two main problems. So how could we do phone payments where there's no network, with a marginal cost of zero? If people had smartphones you could use some combination of NFC, bluetooth and local wifi, but most of the rural poor in Africa and Asia use simple phones without any extra communications modalities, other than those which the users themselves can provide. So how could you enable people to do phone payments by simple user actions? We were inspired by the prepayment electricity meters I helped develop some twenty years ago; meters conforming to this spec are now used in over 100 countries.
We got a small grant from the Gates Foundation to do a prototype and field trial. We designed a system, Digitally, where Alice can pay Bob by exchanging eight-digit MACs that are generated, and verified, by the SIM cards in their phones. For rapid prototyping we used overlay SIMs (which are already being used in a different phone payment system in Africa). The cryptography is described in a paper we gave at the Security Protocols Workshop this spring.
Last month we took the prototype to Strathmore University in Nairobi to do a field trial involving usability studies in their bookshop, coffee shop and cafeteria. The results were very encouraging and I described them in my talk at CCS (slides). There will be a paper on this study in due course. We're now looking for partners to do deployment at scale, whether in phone payments or in other apps that need to support value transfer in delay-tolerant networks.
There has been press coverage in the New Scientist, Engadget and Impress (original Japanese version).
Hacking the iPhone PIN retry counter
At our security group meeting on the 19th August, Sergei Skorobogatov demonstrated a NAND backup attack on an iPhone 5c. I typed in six wrong PINs and it locked; he removed the flash chip (which he'd desoldered and led out to a socket); he erased and restored the changed pages; he put it back in the phone; and I was able to enter a further six wrong PINs.
Sergei has today released a paper describing the attack.
During the recent fight between the FBI and Apple, FBI Director Jim Comey said this kind of attack wouldn't work.
USENIX Security Best Paper 2016 – The Million Key Question … Origins of RSA Public Keys
Petr Svenda et al from Masaryk University in Brno won the Best Paper Award at this year's USENIX Security Symposium with their paper classifying public RSA keys according to their source.
I really like the simplicity of the original assumption. The starting point of the research was that different crypto/RSA libraries use slightly different elimination methods and "cut-off" thresholds to find suitable prime numbers. They thought these differences should be sufficient to detect a particular cryptographic implementation and all that was needed were public keys. Petr et al confirmed this assumption. The best paper award is a well-deserved recognition as I've worked with and followed Petr's activities closely.
The authors created a method for efficient identification of the source (software library or hardware device) of RSA public keys. It resulted in a classification of keys into more than dozen categories. This classification can be used as a fingerprint that decreases the anonymity of users of Tor and other privacy enhancing mailers or operators.
All that is a result of an analysis of over 60 million freshly generated keys from 22 open- and closed-source libraries and from 16 different smart-cards. While the findings are fairly theoretical, they are demonstrated with a series of easy to understand graphs (see above).
I can't see an easy way to exploit the results for immediate cyber attacks. However, we started looking into practical applications. There are interesting opportunities for enterprise compliance audits, as the classification only requires access to datasets of public keys – often created as a by-product of internal network vulnerability scanning.
An extended version of the paper is available from http://crcs.cz/rsa.
Yet another Android side channel: input stealing for fun and profit
At PETS 2016 we presented a new side-channel attack in our paper Don't Interrupt Me While I Type: Inferring Text Entered Through Gesture Typing on Android Keyboards. This was part of Laurent Simon's thesis, and won him the runner-up to the best student paper award.
We found that software on your smartphone can infer words you type in other apps by monitoring the aggregate number of context switches and the number of hardware interrupts. These are readable by permissionless apps within the virtual procfs filesystem (mounted under /proc). Three previous research groups had found that other files under procfs support side channels. But the files they used contained information about individual apps– e.g. the file /proc/uid_stat/victimapp/tcp_snd contains the number of bytes sent by "victimapp". These files are no longer readable in the latest Android version.
We found that the "global" files – those that contain aggregate information about the system – also leak. So a curious app can monitor these global files as a user types on the phone and try to work out the words. We looked at smartphone keyboards that support "gesture typing": a novel input mechanism democratized by SwiftKey, whereby a user drags their finger from letter to letter to enter words.
This work shows once again how difficult it is to prevent side channels: they come up in all sorts of interesting and unexpected ways. Fortunately, we think there is an easy fix: Google should simply disable access to all procfs files, rather than just the files that leak information about individual apps. Meanwhile, if you're developing apps for privacy or anonymity, you should be aware that these risks exist.
I am at the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS 2016) in Darmstadt until Friday, and will try to liveblog some of the sessions in followups to this post. (I can't do them all as there are some parallel sessions.)
Royal Society report on cybersecurity research
The Royal Society has just published a report on cybersecurity research. I was a member of the steering group that tried to keep the policy team headed in the right direction. Its recommendation that governments preserve the robustness of encryption is welcome enough, given the new Russian law on access to crypto keys; it was nice to get, given the conservative nature of the Society. But I'm afraid the glass is only half full.
I was disappointed that the final report went along with the GCHQ line that security breaches should not be reported to affected data subjects, as in the USA, but to the agencies, as mandated in the EU's NIS directive. Its call for an independent review of the UK's cybersecurity needs may also achieve little. I was on John Beddington's Blackett Review five years ago, and the outcome wasn't published; it was mostly used to justify a budget increase for GCHQ. Its call for UK government work on standards is irrelevant post-Brexit; indeed standards made in Europe will probably be better without UK interference. Most of all, I cannot accept the report's line that the government should help direct cybersecurity research. Most scientists agree that too much money already goes into directed programmes and not enough into responsive-mode and curiosity-driven research. In the case of security research there is a further factor: the stark conflict of interest between bona fide researchers, whose aim is that some of the people should enjoy some security and privacy some of the time, and agencies engaged in programmes such as Operation Bullrun whose goal is that this should not happen. GCHQ may want a "more responsive cybersecurity agenda"; but that's the last thing people like me want them to have.
The report has in any case been overtaken by events. First, Brexit is already doing serious harm to research funding. Second, Brexit is also doing serious harm to the IT industry; we hear daily of listings posptoned, investments reconsidered and firms planning to move development teams and data overseas. Third, the Investigatory Powers bill currently before the House of Lords highlights the fact that surveillance debate in the West these days is more about access to data at rest and about whether the government can order firms to hack their customers.
While all three arms of the US government have drawn back on surveillance powers following the Snowden revelations, Theresa May has taken the hardest possible line. Her Investigatory Powers Bill will give her successors as Home Secretary sweeping powers to order firms in the UK to hand over data and help GCHQ hack their customers. Brexit will shield these powers from challenge in the European Court of Justice, making it much harder for a UK company to claim "adequacy" for its data protection arrangements in respect of EU data subjects. This will make it still less attractive for an IT company to keep in the UK either data that could be seized or engineering staff who could be coerced. I am seriously concerned that, together with Brexit, this will be the double whammy that persuades overseas firms not to invest in the UK, and that even causes some UK firms to leave. In the face of this massive self-harm, the measures suggested by the report are unlikely to help much.

Security Protocols 2016
I'm at the 24th security protocols workshop in Brno (no, not Borneo, as a friend misheard it, but in the Czech republic; a two-hour flight rather than a twenty-hour one). We ended up being bumped to an old chapel in the Mendel museum, a former monastery where the monk Gregor Mendel figured out genetics from the study of peas, and for the prosaic reason that the Canadian ambassador pre-empted our meeting room. As a result we had no wifi and I have had to liveblog from the pub, where we are having lunch. The session liveblogs will be in followups to this post, in the usual style.
