Kim Kardashian marches out of court flanked by TEN sheriffs... as furious judge blasts her estranged husband Kris Humphries over no-show
- Attorneys failed to make a settlement due to Humphries' no-show
- Case will move forward with trial set to begin on May 6
Her estranged husband Kris Humphries may not have turned up in court to attend their mandatory divorce settlement conference on Friday.
But Kim Kardashian certainly made her presence known.
The 32-year-old pregnant star was escorted out of a LA court house flanked by not one, but ten uniformed Los Angeles County sheriffs.
Flanked: Kim Kardashian was flanked by ten Los Angeles County sheriffs
as she left her mandatory divorce settlement conference on Friday
Walking directly in the middle of the group of men, the reality star made sure she had the utmost protection as she made her way to a chauffeured car.
Kim wore her most demure maternity-style outfit yet for the court hearing.
Gone were the low-cut tops, tight dresses and leather trousers, and instead Kim opted for a decidedly conservative look.
The reality star slipped on a grey patterned jacket, which was buttoned all the way up to her neck and billowed out at the waist into a somewhat baby doll style.
Well-protected: Walking directly in the middle of the group of men, the reality star made sure she had the utmost protection as she made her way to her chauffeured car
If looks could kill: With a look of steely determination on her face, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star appeared as though she had just come back from battle
Kim wore the dress over a pair of white trousers and accessorised with demure black stilettos.
Scraping her hair back into a tight ponytail, her features looked stronger than ever and she highlighted her famous pout with lashings of red lipstick.
With a look of steely determination on her face,
the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star appeared as though she had
just come back from battle.
Kim, round one: Kim seemingly won the first round battle in her divorce case after her estranged husband Kris Humphries failed to show up in court
The usually smiling star stared straight ahead and put on a pout.
It appears as though Kim came out as the winner in her first round battle with estranged husband Kris.
The pro-NBA player had been intent on taking his ex-wife to the cleaners in their divorce case, but he seemingly dropped the ball after not showing up to court on Friday.
Maternity style: Kim wore her most maternity-style outfit yet for the court hearing - a green-grey patterned jacket, which was buttoned all the way up to her neck and billowed out at the waist into a somewhat baby doll style
Strong: Scraping her hair back into a tight ponytail, Kim's features looked stronger than ever and she highlighted her famous pout with lashings of red lipstick
While Los Angeles-based Kim arrived punctually for the hearing, Kris was still in New York.
A source told TMZ that the basketballer was spotted in the Big Apple at 1am on Friday morning.
The insider says that Kim's former husband of just 72 days, looked 'visibly upset'.
settlement conference was scheduled for 8.30am, but the only New York
to Los Angeles bound flight on Friday morning was 6.30am, arriving in at
LAX at 9.15am.
Swarmed: The paparazzi surrounded the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star
Walk this way: Kim was escorted all the way to her chauffeured car
That would mean that Kris would have been late for the hearing anyway.
According to TMZ, while
the court was told that Kris was detained in New York, Judge Goldberg,
who was presiding over the case, was unimpressed and set a sanction
hearing, which means Kris could face fines for not turning up.
During the court hearing, Kim reportedly sat in the jury box, her hands crossed on her lap as the case was called.
Motherly: It appeared as though Kim was going for a more demure and motherly look
Solo: Kim was not joined by her famous family members nor her boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, Kanye West
A judge sealed the proceedings, citing rules mandating confidentiality for divorce settlement discussions.
Attorneys did not reach a settlement. Humphries' attorneys declined to comment on settlement discussions but said a May 6 trial date remains.
While Kris, who is seeking an annulment based on his claim the pair's 72-day marriage was fraudulent, did not appear in court, he was represented by three attorneys.
Kim arrived once again under heavy security and was brought into the courtroom through a back entrance.
Polished: Not a hair was out of place on the reality star
A pre-court workout: Kim was seen heading to the gym ahead of attending the pretrial hearing in her divorce case with Kris
She kept her hands crossed on her lap while she listened to Judge Goldberg explain to reporters that the hearing would be closed.
'I always wanted to be a juror,' she joked to deputies before taking her seat.
Kim and Kris are both expected to testify at the trial, which will focus on their relationship and whether elements of it were staged for the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The Brooklyn Nets power forward has not yet laid out his specifics to support his fraud claim.
He claims the marriage should be annulled because Kim only married him because of her reality show.
Media circus: News vans line the street as Kim and Kris's pretrial divorce hearing takes place on Friday
Kim is expecting her first child with
boyfriend Kanye West later this year.
For her court date, she was not accompanied by her famous sisters or Kanye to court.
No-show: Kim's estranged husband Kris Humphries was a no-show at the court hearing on Friday
Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe
Kardashian are not on their sister's proposed witness list, but their
mother, Kris Jenner, will likely testify about the pair's relationship.
Kris has not yet filed his witness list for the trial, which is expected to last a week.
Kris's no show comes after sources told Radaronline that the NBA player, who claims he was tricked into marrying Kim for the sake of her hit reality show, was eager to face his estranged wife in court.
'Kris has been absolutely trashed by the Kardashians in the press,' the source said.
'He has taken the high road and never spoken negatively about Kim, or her family, despite the hell they have put him through.'
The pro-baller wants the former couple's 72-day marriage annulled, while Kim, who denies duping Kris, wants a divorce to be granted.
Kim and Kris's divorce case is certainly heating up, and it was recently revealed that Kris is desperately trying to get Kim to admit under oath that scenes for her reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians were staged to make him look bad.
A witness list in the case include several producers and television executives who are testifying in the case.
Jay Russell, a producer on the show, has already said to have been grilled in one deposition.
According to Radaronline.com, he admitted that one episode of the show, featuring Kris, was 'scripted, reshot or edited'.
According to Russell, the scene was was intended to paint Kris as a 'villain'.
Another particular scene of the E! reality show will also be picked apart.
It is the moment when Kim tells her mother and manager Kris Jenner that she wanted a divorce from Kris whilst the pair are on a business trip to Dubai.
It has since been revealed that the particular plot line was filmed after Kim and Kris's divorce was confirmed and was shot in a Los Angeles studio.
Kris is also set to take the stand where he will be questioned about the show's legitimacy, according to a Radaronline source.
'Kim is freaking out that she is going to be forced to testify that aspects of the Kardashian reality show are fake,' the insider said.
'Kim has always said how much she loves her fans and viewers. Kris feels that this proves unequivocally he was duped into marrying Kim.'
The divorce trial is scheduled to begin on May 6.

Dining Out: Fuller's Old Fashioned BBQ has new Fayetteville location
article courtesy the Fayetteville Observer
Fuller's, which started in 1986, is famous for its shredded pork barbecue cooked in a pit. They use the whole hog and the meat is smoked over hickory wood for 12 hours.
Tell us about your place:Fuller's Old Fashioned BBQ opened on Raeford Road in west Fayetteville in December. It is owned by Eric and Karen Locklear. Locklear's parents — Delora and James Fuller Locklear, who are deceased — established the first Fuller's restaurant in 1986 in Lumberton. There is also a location on Eastern Boulevard. Damage from Hurricane Matthew caused the Lumberton restaurant to temporarily close in October. "It was a devastating loss," said manager Deidre Rogers. Finding a new location was a blessing that came at the perfect time, she said. "It has allowed our employees to go back to work again."
Specialties:"We're famous of our shredded pork barbecue. It's our specialty,"said Rogers. "We use original recipes that were developed by the Fullers.''
The barbecue is cooked in a pit; John Locklear is the pit master. They use the whole hog and the meat is smoked over hickory wood for 12 hours.
The menu includes country favorites, which are available on the buffet or by individual order. Menu items include black-eyed peas, corn on the cob, collards, corn bread, homemade biscuits, candied yams, mac and cheese, chicken gizzards and livers and catfish.
There are weekly specials, including quail on Tuesday, pizza and spaghetti on Wednesday and oysters and shrimp on Thursday nights.

The N.C. Peach Festival is a testament to the peach growing history of Montgomery County. We have a strong generational connection to the peach industry dating back over 100 years. It all began in the late 1800's when "Mr. H.R. Clark of Aberdeen, along with J.G. Tomlinson, A.W.E. Capel, and J.R. Page (prominent Montgomery County citizens), formed the Candor Fruit Company. An organization that was the first of its kind and would support peach growing on a commercial scale. In 1902, Mr. Clark purchased acreage below Candor and set out 30,000 young peach trees to start the first commercial peach orchard. From that point on, the peach industry thrived in the Candor and Sandhills region of North Carolina." - From the book "Pattern of Timeless Moments" A History of Montgomery County, by Mable S. Lassiter.
Join us for the 21st annual N.C. Peach Festival proudly held every year on the 3rd Saturday in July, downtown Candor, NC. The parade begins at 10:00 a.m. with a wonderful showing of local floats, firetrucks, and other fun parade entrants. Afterwards, stroll down to Fitzgerald Park where the rest of the festivities are located. Bring your lawn chairs, sit back, relax, and enjoy the best live entertainment around. There are always lots of fresh, sweet, local peaches, arts & crafts, and of course, the best homemade peach ice cream in the Great State of North Carolina!
Grown-ups and kids alike, can enjoy an abundance of vendors and activities including: Bounce Houses, Petting Zoo, Camel Rides, Gyro Ride, Mechanical Bull, Gaming Trailer, Bungee Trampoline, Pony Rides, Helicopter Rides, Rock Wall, Putt-Putt, and so much more!!!
This year, the N.C. Peach Festival will feature an awesome line-up of live entertainment including: Jim Quick & Coastline, The Sand Band, Rockin' Acoustix, and the McKenzie Brothers. We look forward to seeing you on SATURDAY, JULY 15TH, 2017 FROM 10:00AM - 4:00PM!

Civil War – A National Historic Landmark
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (June 2014)
Joseph Aquiler "Joe" Thompson (December 9, 1918 – February 20, 2012) was an American old-time fiddle player, and one of the last musicians to carry on the black string band tradition. Accompanied by his cousin Odell, Thompson was recognized with several honors for performances of the old-time style, particularly when the genre was repopularized in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, he recorded his first studio albums, consisting of a repertoire rooted in the authentic string band approach.
Thompson was born in Orange County, North Carolina on December 9, 1918.[1] His father John, a fiddler, and uncle Walter, a banjo player, performed at local square dances and corn shuckings.[2] At seven years-old, when Thompson took up the fiddle himself, he closely observed his father's techniques which were rooted in old-time African tradition.[3] He joined his father and uncle for performances, and later formed his own string band with his older brother Nate and cousin Odell, both of whom were banjo players.[4] Much of the band's repertoire consisted of family songs past down since before the American Civil War, including "Hook and Line" and "Cindy Gal".[5]
After serving in a segregated unit during the Second World War and as the popularity for traditional string band music waned, Thompson stopped playing the fiddle to work in a furniture factory as a rip saw operator for 28 years.[6] In 1973, musicologist Kip Lornell, then a recent college graduate, heard rumors about Joe and Odell Thompson's mastery of the old-time style, and urged the duo to make a comeback. Thompson and Odell began performing as the New String Band Duo across the United States and abroad, becoming popular fixtures at folk festivals. Among the notable gigs the duo played at included Carnegie Hall, the National Folk Festival, the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, and the Tennessee Banjo Institute.[2][5]
In 1989, they recorded the studio album Old-Time Music from the North Carolina Piedmont for the Global Village record label. The duo was awarded the North Carolina Folk Heritage Award in 1991 for preserving black folk music traditions. When Odell died in a car accident in 1994, Thompson pondered quitting music altogether, but recorded the solo album Family Traditions, released on Rounder Records in 1999.[6] A stroke Thompson suffered in 2001 severely impaired the use of his left arm, but after extensive rehabilitation, he returned to playing. Although he lamented at the lack of interest for old-time music, in 2005 he began mentoring the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a modern-day African American string band. In 2007 he received the National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C..[6]
Thompson was married twice and had one son and six step-children. He died in a nursing home in Alamance County, North Carolina from pneumonia; Thompson was 93 years-old.[6] Folklorist Wayne Martin commented that "Probably more than anyone else, Joe was the inspiration for a national revival of stringband music among young generations of African American musicians".[7]
Some of North Carolina's greatest treasures can be found off the beaten path. You never know what you might find... an old-time general store, local artisan, or simply a picturesque view that takes your breath away. You'll be swept away by the untouched natural landscape found on the backroads of this rural county.
In Anson County, you can discover all that and more. Come. Visit. Surround yourself with the beauty of North Carolina's best kept secret.

Jackie Bristow - Whistle Blowin'
Just below is a music video to a song that was love at first listen by a refreshing new artist onto our radar by the name of Jackie Bristow, who is originally from the deep South of New Zealand. The song is titled Whistle Blowin' from her upcoming Shot of Gold album set for a 2016 release. The song feels like it should be a hit on CMT and Country Radio nationwide. The album was produced by Mark Punch and the beautifully shot music video was directed and produced by Mark Tierney. Enjoy! GC & MLV

I edited some of my Images today & all of them reset the vote & stumbleupon counts back to zero. Since higher vote counts raises an Image in the FAA Search. it is very maddening that this happens. I am not going to ask for this to be changed because I am sure it won't. So I will make sure I will not have to edit any new Image. I post rarely to these message boards so please do not get on me about anything. I did not want to post this but I have never seen any post about this issue.

Hmmm, this is a quirk I haven't run into. I've been doing lots of edits this week, and today, with no problems. My only question (and I'm betting you've already checked) is, are you sure the votes are gone? Sometimes, the vote box shows '0', but when you click on it the existing votes are revealed.
If that's not your situation, I'd definitely contact tech support.
I hope you get it straightened out. Votes are hard to come by; I'm sure most of us would like to hang on to the ones we've received.

that's an easter egg... only it's not zero, it just looks that way, if you hit vote again it will show you that the votes are still there. it's bad when you edit and the image is gone - i've had that happen a few times.

Mike is right. I clicked on vote & it recorded my vote for my image which I have never done & will not again. I will just wait until a viewer votes after editing an Image. Jean, Thanks for your comment.

Study On Communication In Ad Hoc Networks Computer Science Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are lately a hot spot for research. MANETs are a type of ad-hoc networks which are wireless networks and have a decentralized network structure.
MANETs contain mobile nodes connected by wireless links within the network range. Lately, the increase in the usage of laptops, cellular devices etc have demanded the enhancement of mobile ad hoc networks. Nodes present in MANET's are usually mobile and hence the links between the nodes keep changing frequently. Therefore, the network flexibility has to be very high in order to accommodate the mobility of nodes.
Communication in ad-hoc networks does not involve fixed routers as in wired networks where they are used solely for enabling communication between nodes. These networks are self-configuring and hence can be used in varied application domains where centralized nodes cannot be of help. Lack of pre-existing framework requires the nodes to participate in routing packets from source node to destination node by transferring them to the neighboring nodes.
Communication in MANET's can be achieved by cooperation between the nodes involved in transfer of packets. As the nodes in MANET's are mobile, a fixed architecture cannot be implemented. The network topology keeps changing with the mobility of the nodes. The decision about which nodes need to participate in communication is made dynamically based on network traffic and statistics. The decision onto whether or not to participate in communication is based on their self interest. The presence of selfish nodes creates a problem as they do not take part in transfer of packets thus disrupting the communication process between nodes. Nodes behave selfishly sometimes to save their battery, errors etc. Some malicious nodes present in the network do so to invade private content, disable packet transfer between nodes.
Proper communication establishment in MANET's is a key field of study. It is proven that even selfish nodes cooperate when necessary. This can be attained by providing impressive incentives to the nodes to be cooperative. Therefore, mechanisms that enable communication need to be implemented at different layers. The incentives provided to the nodes have to be such that the nodes gain an edge over the other nodes in the network.
Reputation based incentives are one of the types of incentives that can be awarded to the nodes that wish to participate. Mechanisms that provide this kind of incentives evaluate reputation value or trust value of a node in the network. The nodes with adequate reputation, as they are supportive can use the networks resources. Those nodes with lesser reputation may be identified as malicious nodes and are not let to use network resources. Hence, implementing these principles many trust management models are proposed which use the value of trust to identify the presence of malicious nodes in the network.

MANET's are greatly in use these days as they provide uninterrupted network service even though the node is moving around. Because of this advantage, MANET's are very helpful in emergency situations. Therefore, the reliability of the network has to be paid attention to. Reliability can be increased if the nodes that involve in communication are genuine nodes and not malicious nodes. Reliability can be retained when the malicious or detrimental nodes are identified and banished from affecting the network
Network performance is another aspect that has to be high in a network. Both network performance and reliability are interrelated. If the network performance is aggravated, network reliability would increase rapidly. Network performance can be improved if cooperation between nodes is achieved for communication.
To achieve reliability, performance, efficiency etc many reputation models have been proposed. Many of them involved calculation of reputation of nodes in the network. These values were used in identifying misbehaving nodes, avoiding Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by some models. Some models also proposed ways to encourage nodes to cooperate in communication. But, the models that are currently in use have certain drawbacks and there is no enhanced model that combines the advantages of the available models. All these conditions have persuaded in the introduction of a new upgraded model for trust management.
The main objective of trust models is calculating the trust of the nodes. Imbibing trust on each other between nodes would encourage in attaining secure communication. Generally, trust is defined as the magnitude of confidence or certainty stimulated by the nodes behavior in the network.
The trust value of a node is maintained if the conduct of the nodes behavior is appreciable. Nodes with inadequate value of trust are identified as non-cooperating nodes.
The trust value of a neighboring node can be obtained by monitoring the node to know about its practice in packet forwarding. At times, the trust value of a stranger node has to be known. The neighboring nodes of the unknown node share their trust information about the stranger node. This gives the trust by recommendation. In many models, trust value of a node can be determined from the trust attained by direct observations or from the referential trust from other neighboring nodes about the behavior of the node. The trust value of the node that is recommending is also taken into account and based on that the trust by recommendation value is evaluated.
Cooperation of Nodes 'Fairness in Dynamic Ad-hoc Networks (CONFIDANT):
CONFIDANT is one of the important trust based models available. The main purpose of this model is to identify and separate misbehaving nodes in the network.
Trust evaluation:
In order to get the value of trust of the other nodes, a monitoring system is employed by nodes to detect the behavior of the nodes. A copy of packet is maintained at the sending node and the monitoring system of the node continually listens to the transmission of next node to ensure that the contents of packet are not altered while forwarding them.
Trust evaluation of any node is based on experience with other nodes, direct observations or reported information about the behavior from other nodes. In this model, the value of trust given to a node is high if the behavior is known by direct observations, is small if the observations are in the neighborhood, and is even more small value if the trust is through reported experience.
Each node maintains a table with trust values of other nodes. Trust values are changed only when there is enough proof about the behavior of the node. If the trust value thus obtained is less than a predefined threshold value then the node is identified as malicious node.
This model lacks a secure way of recommending other nodes. And also the nodes with trust value less than defined threshold do not have any mechanism to regain trust and participate in communication. This is very important because the reason for inappropriate behavior by some nodes may be to save their battery, errors etc.
Collaborative Reputation (CORE):
CORE is a reputation based model which is very effective to avoid misbehavior by nodes in the network. Actions such as Denial of Service (Dos) are best prevented. This model promotes cooperation among the nodes as it makes selfishness unattractive.
Reputation Evaluation:
In this model, reputation of each node is evaluated. To evaluate the trust value of a node, three different types of trusts are considered. They are:
1. Subjective reputation: Is calculated from nodes observation.
2. Indirect reputation: Is calculated by considering the information provided by neighboring nodes.
3. Functional reputation: Is calculated by using different functions in calculating subjective reputation and indirect reputation.
The collaboration of the above mentioned reputations give the final reputation value of a node. If the reputation value goes below the defined value, the node is considered as a selfish node and is not allowed to use any of the network resources.
The referential reputation by other nodes can be forged by mutual cheating by nodes. Lack of provision for re-obtaining reputation for nodes.
Secure and Objective Reputation based incentive (SORI):
SORI is also a reputation model that is implemented to inspire effective packet forwarding. It helps in disciplining the behavior of the nodes.
Trust evaluation:
This model involves the calculation of reputation of each node and is called as Local Evaluation Record. For this, a monitoring system is involved. One of the unique features of SORI is that the reputation of node is quantitatively obtained by objective measures. That is the reputation value is obtained by evaluating the ratio of 'number of packets sent to a node' to the 'number of packets that node has forwarded'.
Apart from encouraging nodes to cooperate in communication, a mechanism to punish selfish nodes is also implemented in this model. Whenever a node (S) identifies another node (M) as a malicious node, then the node (S) spreads the reputation information about node (M) to the neighboring nodes so that all other nodes punish node (M) by dropping the packets forwarded by node (M). Hence, a malicious node is punished by all the nodes present in the network.
SORI lacks rationality in reputation evaluation as it involves ratio of packets received by a node to the packets forwarded by the node. And also a mechanism that would help non- malicious nodes to regain reputation is not defined.
Proposed Hybrid Model:
A hybrid model for trust evaluation is proposed to overcome majority of the drawbacks present in the models currently in use. In this model, trust value for each of the nodes present in the network is calculated. Based on the trust values, the nodes are allowed to access networks resources.
The trust values are divided into three ranges. The nodes that are trusted by majority of nodes have great trust value hence fall in the 'high' range of values. The nodes that are averagely trusted fall in the 'medium' range. And the least trusted nodes have very less value of trust and hence are in 'low' range. If the value of trust is in 'low' range that is below a defined threshold level then the node is considered as malicious node and is not allowed to participate in communication.
Each node maintains a table consisting of the values of trust of other nodes. The calculation of trust is to be done when the node newly enters the network or when the trust value of a node is changed and needs to be updated.
New node in the network:
Whenever a new node enters the network, the other nodes present in the network do not know whether or not to trust the new node as the trust value is unknown. Hence, the new node is assigned a 'medium' range trust which is greater than the threshold value.
A monitoring system is implemented by each node which would then continually monitor the new node to observe the behavior. As long as the behavior of the node seems acceptable, the value of trust keeps increasing towards 'high' range.
Change in trust value:
The value of trust need to be updated based on the behavior of the node. The recent behavior of nodes is taken into consideration. If any non-cooperative behavior is observed, the trust value is decreased periodically.
The changes are made only when there is enough evidence to prove the misbehavior. The trust value is taken into consideration before a request for packet forwarding is made to any node. Therefore, if the trust value of a node is below the threshold level, the node is isolated from the network.
Hybrid model trust evaluation:
Each node in this hybrid model maintains a table consisting of the trust values of other nodes present in the network. For having a rational methodology of calculating trust, the trust value is based on network stats. The overall trust value of node is obtained by the usage of trust values obtained in two different ways.
Trust by direct observations - Two nodes are neighbors if they are in the transmission range of each other. Every node monitors its neighboring nodes and based on direct observations, a trust value is assigned to the neighboring node. This is the trust value attained by direct observation. It is represented by (Td)
Trust by recommendation - If a node is not a neighboring node then the behavior of the node can be known by considering the recommendations provided by other nodes that are neighbors. The trust value of the node recommending is also taken into consideration. Trust by recommendation is represented by (Tr) and can be obtained by:
Tr = Number of packets forwarded to a node
Number of packets forwarded- Number of packets the
node is destination
The trust by recommendation is evaluated in an interval of time thus paying more attention to the recent behaviors of the node. This helps in knowing whether or not to trust a node.
Overall trust - The final trust value is obtained by using both the trust obtained by direct observations and the trust by recommendation. The overall trust thus obtained is represented by (T).
T = ? (Td * Tr)
The value of 'T' is stored in the table containing trust values of each node.
Methodology for trust by recommendation:
The mechanism used for considering trust by recommendation has to be accurate and forged recommendations should be avoided. Some rules need to be followed to obtain recommendations from other nodes properly.
- If nodes 'a' and 'b' are not neighbors to each other's but are neighbor to another node 'c'. Node 'a' has a trust value 'Tc' and node 'c' has a trust value 'Tb' on node 'b'. Then node 'a' has trust value 'TcTb' on node 'b'. The propagation of trust results in depreciation of trust. This rule is called trust depreciation rule.
- If trust through recommendations about a node is obtained through two different paths then the resulting trust indicates upgrading of trust.
If node 'a' has got trust by recommendations 'T1b' through one path and 'T2b' through other path, then node 'a' has '1-(1-T1b)(1-T2b)' trust on node 'b'. The propagation of trust results in upgrading of trust and hence called as trust upgrading rule.
- If a node 'a' wants to attain the trust of other node 'b' as shown
Here, the node 'b' is an intermediate node which is copied to form two distinct parallel paths.
The trust value of node 'b' is divided into equal parts to support the number of parallel paths. This is called division of trust rule. The recommendations of the other nodes in each of these paths are evaluated and the total trust by recommendations is obtained. Even if the recommendations are forged in one path, the impact on the overall trust is hence minimized.
1. Identify the number of input and output links of the intermediate nodes present.
2. Exclude the links which involve nodes containing trust value less than the minimum defined threshold value.
3. Obtain parallel paths using the nodes in between.
4. If a node can form more than one parallel path then apply division of trust rule.
5. Apply trust depreciation rule or trust upgrading rule through all the intermediate nodes.
6. Obtain the trust by recommendations from all the intermediate nodes using
Tr = ?(Tr1 * Tr2 * Tr3'.. Trn)
This algorithm would be effective to provide secure referential trust and to remain unaffected because of forged recommendations.
Trust Regaining methodology:
Trust needs to be regained by nodes to be a trustable node and to participate in communication in the network. A regaining methodology is a must to help the nodes regain trust.
This is most useful for the nodes that are considered as malicious nodes. Sometimes nodes do not cooperate to save their own resources like battery or lack of network coverage etc. So, though not malicious some nodes have trust value that fall in the 'low' range of trust values. A mechanism that provides an opportunity to regain trust is proposed.
For every stipulated interval of time, all the nodes that have trust values less than the threshold value are identified. And their trust values are increased to the minimum threshold value and the nodes are monitored. These nodes gain trust and hence can again start participating in communication.
If a nodes trust value repetitively decreases and falls in 'low' range then after a certain number of times, the node is completely identified as malicious node and is ignored. If the node maintains its trust value then the node's trust is periodically increased and is allowed to actively take part in communication.

This is a book on attitudes and attitudinal phenomena. It approaches these issues in a unique way from a Zimbabwean context in comparison with similar researches elsewhere in the world. The book portrays a comprehensive conceptualisation of the phenomena. It presents measurements of form 3 pupils attitudes towards mathematics and related issues in urban secondary schools in Zimbabwe, based on the variables: gender and school type.These variables have been found to influence attitudes, which in turn affect performance. Armed with such knowledge, learners, instructors and even policy makers, are better placed concerning learning and instructional issues in mathematics at secondary school level.

Natasha Pavlovikj, Kevin Begcy, Sairam Behera, Malachy Campbell, Harkamal Walia, Jitender S.Deogun University of Nebraska-Lincoln Evaluating Distributed Platforms for Protein-Guided Scientific Workflow 1 XSEDE '14, July 13 - 18 2014, Atlanta, GA, USA
Introduction Gene expression and transcriptome analysis are one of the main focuses of research for a great number of biologists and scientists The analysis of this so called "big data" is done by using a complex set of multitude of software tools Enhanced demand of powerful computational resources where the data can be stored and analyzed 2
Assembly Pipeline Assembly of raw sequence data is a complex multi-stage process composed of preprocessing, assembling, and post- processing Assembly pipeline is used to simplify the entire assembly process by automating steps of the pipeline 3
blast2cap3 Multiple approaches used for assembling the filtered reads produce high redundancy of the resulting transcripts Overlap-based assembly program CAP3 is used to merge transcripts based on the overlapping region with specified identity However, because most of the produced transcripts code for a protein, a protein similarity should be also considered during the merging 4
blast2cap3 Blast2cap3 is a protein-guided assembly approach that first clusters the transcripts based on similarity to a common protein and then passes each cluster to CAP3 Blast2cap3 is a Python script written by Vince Buffalo from Plant Sciences Department, UCD The recent use of blast2cap3 on the wheat transcriptome assembly shows that blast2cap3 generates fewer artificially fused sequences and reduces the total number of transcripts by 8-9% 5
blast2cap3 The assembled transcripts are aligned with protein datasets closely related to the organism for which the transcripts are generated, and afterwards, transcripts sharing a common protein hit are merged using CAP3 The current implementation of blast2cap3 supports only serial execution 6
Pegasus Workflow Management System The modularity of blast2cap3 allows us to decompose the existing approach on multiple tasks, some of which can be run in parallel The protein-guided assembly can be structured into a scientific workflow 7
Pegasus Workflow Management System Pegasus WMS is a framework that automatically maps high-level scientific workflows organized as directed acyclic graph (DAG) onto wide range of execution platforms, including clusters, grids, and clouds Pegasus uses DAX (directed acyclic graph in XML) files to specify an abstract workflow The abstract workflow contains information and description of all executable files and logical names of the input files used by the workflow 8
blast2cap3 with Pegasus WMS Each node represents a workflow task, while each edge represents the dependency between the tasks Archive of all required built libraries and tools (Python, Biopython, CAP3) The step of downloading and extracting this archive is defined as a task in the workflow Pegasus WMS implementation of blast2cap3 reduces the running time of the current serial implementation of blast2cap3 for more than 95% 9
Execution Platforms The resources that scientific workflows require can exceed the capabilities of the local computational resources Scientific workflows are usually executed on distributed platforms, such as campus clusters, grids or clouds Used execution platforms 11
Sandhills: University of Nebraska Campus Cluster Sandhills is one of the High Performance Computing (HPC) Clusters at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Holland Computing Center (HCC) Used by faculty and students Sandhills was constructed in 2011 and it has 1440 AMD cores housed in a total of 44 nodes Every new user account of HCC is required to be associated with a faculty or research group 12
OSG: Open Science Grid OSG is a national consortium of geographically distributed academic institutions and laboratories that provide hundreds computing and storage resources to the OSG users OSG is organized into Virtual Organizations OSG does not own any computing or storage resources, but allows users to use the resources contributed by the other members of the OSG and VO's Every new user applies for an OSG certificate 13
Amazon EC2: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a large commercial Web-based service provided by Amazon.com Users have access to virtual machine (VM) instances where they deploy VM images with customized software and libraries Amazon EC2 is a scalable, elastic and flexible platform Amazon EC2 users are hourly billed for the number and the type of resources they are using 14
Experiments Investigate the behavior of the modified Pegasus WMS implementation of blast2cap3 when the workflow is composed of 30, 110, 210, 610, 1,010, and 2,010 tasks respectively Run the workflow multiple times on the different execution platforms in order to detect the different workflow performance as well as the different resource availability over time 15
Experiments Compare the total workflow running time between different execution platforms Examine the number of running versus the number of idle jobs over time for each workflow 16
Experimental Data Diploid wheat Triticum urartu dataset from NCBI The assembled transcripts were generated using Velvet as a de novo assembler These transcripts were aligned with closely related wheat organisms (Barley, Brachypodium, Rice, Maize, Sorghum, Arabidopsis) "transcripts.fasta", 404 MB big, 236,529 assembled transcripts "alignments.out", 155 MB big, 1,717,454 protein hits 17
Comparing Running Time on Sandhills, OSG and Amazon EC2 for Workflows with Different Number of Tasks 18
Comparing the Number of Running Jobs versus the Number of Idle Jobs Over Time for Workflows with Different Task Number 19
Comparing the Number of Running Jobs versus the Number of Idle Jobs Over Time for Workflows with Different Task Number 20
Comparing the Number of Running Jobs versus the Number of Idle Jobs Over Time for Workflows with Different Task Number 21
Comparing the Number of Running Jobs versus the Number of Idle Jobs Over Time for Workflows with Different Task Number 22
Comparing the Number of Running Jobs versus the Number of Idle Jobs Over Time for Workflows with Different Task Number 23
Comparing the Number of Running Jobs versus the Number of Idle Jobs Over Time for Workflows with Different Task Number 24
Cost Comparison of Different Execution Platforms 25 The main and the most important difference between the commercial cloud and the academic distributed resources is the cost Sandhills: generally free resources OSG: completely free resources Amazon EC2: complex pricing model 50 m1.large spot instance X $0.04 per hour = $122.84
Conclusion Using more than 100 tasks in a workflow significantly reduces the running time for all execution platforms The resource allocation on Sandhills and OSG is opportunistic, and its availability changes over time The results are almost constant when Amazon EC2 is used Workflow failures were not encountered on Sandhills and Amazon EC2 26
Conclusion The predictability of the Amazon EC2 resources leads to better workflow running time when the cloud is used as a platform For our blast2cap3 workflow, better running time and better usage of the allocated resources were achieved when Amazon EC2 is used Due to the Amazon EC2 cost, the academic distributed systems can be a good alternative 27

The long-awaited Jerusalem Waldorf Astoria Hotel project will soon be underway after the Jerusalem Regional Planning and Building Committee authorized the Jerusalem municipality to issue building permits. The $107 million project, which has been 10 years in the planning stages, is to be built by IPC Jerusalem, owned by Paul and Joseph Reichmann. It will have 180 rooms and 40 suites, and an eight-story residential building with 28 units is planned next door. The new hotel, a brand of Hilton Hotels Corporation, will be built on the site of the Palace Hotel and the historic customs house between Agron Street and King David Street, not far from the Old City of Jerusalem. The site of the new hotel is listed for preservation and developers have been told to design the façade in keeping with its listed status.

Jamui is a city and a municipality in Jamui district in the Indian state of Bihar. It is the district headquarters of Jamui district. Jamui was formed as a district on 21 February 1991 as a result of its separation from Munger.
Historical existence of Jamui has been observed from the Period of Mahabharta war. Archaeological and historical evidence shows its close association with Jain tradition for a long past to the present time.
There are mainly two hypotheses which have been mentioned by historians regarding the origin of the name of the district Jamui. The first hypothesis said that the name of Jamui derived from "Jambhiya Gram" or "Jribhikgram" village, which has the place of attaining 'Omniscience' (Kevala Jnana) of Vardhaman Mahavira and according to another hypothesis the name Jamui is originated from Jambuwani.
Jamui is located at 24°55′N 86°13′E / 24.92°N 86.22°E.[1] It has an average elevation of 78 metres (255 feet).
Jamui is well connected to the rest of the country via road while the Delhi-Howrah rail line is 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away at Mallepur (Mallepur railway station is also known as Jamui railway station). Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Airport in Patna is about 161 kilometres (100 mi) and Gaya Airport 136 kilometres (85 mi) away.
Situated along the Bihar-Jharkhand border, Jamui is dotted with hills and the small retreat town of Simultala falls within the Jhajha block, on the main Delhi-Howrah rail line. The town of Gidhaur, situated 17 kilometres (11 mi) away was the seat of kings during the British Raj and many buildings from the period still survive. Minto Tower in Gidhaur is a prime example of architecture from the period. Jamui district is also known for having many places related to the origin of Jainism.
The district has untapped reserves of resources including mica, coal, gold and iron ore.
As of 2011[update] India census,[2] Jamui had a population of 87,357. Males constitute 52.6% of the population and females 47.26%. Jamui has an average literacy rate of 64.33%, lower than the national average of 74.04%: male literacy is 57.39%, and female literacy is 42.6%. In Jamui, 16.22% of the population is under 6 years of age.

United Utilities ICQM Project
The integrated catchment modelling studies were designed to include the main river systems of the Calder, Mersey, Micker Brook, Douglas, Irwell, Darwen, Weaver, Irk, Medlock, and Glaze river catchments. The study area covered about 3,900 km² and included 1,500 km of watercourses. The aim of the study was to assess the compliance of the river systems within these catchments against water quality standards (i.e. UPM standards and WFD chemical standards) and to identify, with supporting information on existing river condition, potential locations where intermittent discharge may be contributing to failing watercourses.
We provided sewer modelling services to simulate urban discharges to the river systems within the catchment. This involved updating and upgrading over 100 discrete urban drainage network models comprising;
- 1,781 Combined Sewer Overflow outfalls,
- 97 Wastewater Treatment Works final effluent outfalls,
- 2,645 Surface Water outfalls.
We developed a process, in conjunction with the client UU and the client's framework consultant MWH, for upgrading the models from just hydraulic to water quality standard. This involved, for each model;
- Disconnection of CSO spill pipes from SW networks to allow clearer identification of high pollutant loading sources,
- Conversion of all fixed pumps to screw pumps to avoid state change instabilities in the water quality simulation parameters,
- Addition of tank drain down mechanisms where these were missing to allow continuous simulation (rather than discrete design storms),
- Removal of all 'dry' pipes as these too invoke instability in the water quality calculations,
- Addition of population and trade flow water quality parameters and calibration to historic WwTW values,
We ran continuous simulations for 10 years of historic rainfall for each sewer model and collated the spill results for each of the 4,523 outfalls. Just the logistics of running such a large number of models for such a long length of time was challenging. There were also model stability issues to either resolve or accommodate in the results preparation.
In a follow on stage we developed outline solutions at key assets. A large part of this work was to identify opportunities for strategic scale sustainable drainage systems (SUDS).

What Your Salary Tells You About the Health of Your Business
Are you indispensable to your business? Do you have "jobs" in your company that you or someone like you must do each day/week/month? We could talk about EMyth principles or scalability, but I'm not beating you up about that (yet). Running a business where money comes in the door is no small feat and you should be proud of yourself, but to understand the health of your business you need more. Here's what you need to know:
1. Revenue Alone is Less Than Useless
Warning: There's a fake number running around out there masquerading as hard data – revenue. Picture an ad for a high end Mercedes (I love me a good Benz) – shinny, chrome, fancy dashboard, dialed in. There it sits in all its luxurious glory, but until you tell me about the engine I know nothing. Do I know if I want to buy that car? No sir. The outside of the car the topline revenue number is awesome, but it's only a starting place and tells you nothing except that you have a product or service people will pay for.
People will brag about their chrome, their revenue, all day long. They'll blog about it, they'll use it as a selling tool, as in "I made multiple six figures from this launch". Even the leading entrepreneurial magazines trot the revenue number out as a measure of success in business magazines. It can really do a number on your confidence. As my 7-year-old Constance says, it can make you "feel like junk".
What we all ignore when we're counting numbers in decimal places, i.e., four, five, six, multiple seven figures, is that until we know what's in the engine, we have no idea of the health of the business because we don't know what it costs to bring in those decimal places. Just like I Love Lucy taught us, if it takes $2 to make a jar of salad dressing you're selling for $1, volume is not going to cover it.
So if revenue isn't the measure, what is?
2. Your salary tells you how successful your business is.
Remember how excited you were to take home your first dollar? That's really the one that should be framed, but I digress.
As someone right there in the trenches of your business, you are indispensable to your business. You,or someone who fulfills your role, must be there. As such, you are overhead to your own business and that's fair. So to know if you're getting $2 for a $2 jar of salad dressing, you need to pay yourself a reasonable salary.
If your business is able to pay you what you'd have to pay to replace yourself, your business is at least breaking even.
Lots of business are rigging the numbers by not paying their most valuable employee, the founder & CEO, a reasonable salary. They're not counting as a cost a position that absolutely has to exist. The founder & CEO sometimes prefers it that way, because it makes the business look more successful that it really is. It makes the business looks like it's making $100-$200k more a year than it really is. They the founder takes that home in "profit" and feels good about himself, but it's a Mercedes with a crummy engine.
Unfortunately, even if that's a better scenario for tax purposes, the founder is fooling themselves into thinking they've built a successful business, but it's $2 salad dressing for $1 all over again.
The health of your business is found in what you pay yourself – a salary reasonable for the position you fill. [TWEET THIS] Once you've done that, you've covered all your overhead and what's left over is true profit, it's pure profit, it's something to be incredibly proud of.
I'm knee deep in the process of developing a 4-week course titled "Untangling Money Spaghetti; Financial Mastery for Small Business Owners". If you think it might be something you're interested in, shoot an email to email@example.com and we'll send you information as we move toward launch in mid-September.
Stephen LaheyAugust 20, 2013 at 5:59 pm
Great advice, Emily. For me, paying myself well is also about maxing out my SEP (and my daughter's 529) contribution. I think that too many business owners forget that they may not be able to sell their business at the right time, for what they think it's worth, etc.

Fellowship and thanks
Nov 22, 2012 (Odessa American - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- For those who wouldn't otherwise have a Thanksgiving meal, the Salvation Army on Thursday hosted its annual Thanksgiving lunch, complete with potatoes, stuffing, turkey, and all the fixin's.
But one man attended the lunch knowing he had two turkeys waiting at home, one he was going to donate, and enough money to, as he said, buy whatever he wants.
Geoffrey Jameson said it wasn't always that way, as he was homeless for a while after being diagnosed with a lung disease that rendered him unable to work.
Jameson said he is a street preacher and speaks to people who are going through the things he went through just a few years ago.
Working in the oilfield, Jameson was making enough money to support himself, he said, but that was about to end.
"When (the disease) hit me, I couldn't work. So I lived on the streets," he said.
Jameson said he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, or an inflammation that can occur in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin or other tissues.
Since he began receiving disability pay in 2010, however, Jameson said he still comes to the Salvation Army to speak with the people who are going through similar struggles he went through while on the streets.
Those like Michael Williams, a former Army soldier who is out of work in Odessa and wanting to help themselves even though he had family in the area.
Williams said he was honorably discharged in 1983 after serving as a demolitions specialist.
Growing up in Odessa, Williams said he has family, but as a "grown man" he said he wants to take care of himself.
"(The Salvation Army meal) is a blessing from the Lord and some people aren't grateful. We take things for granted sometimes," Williams said.
Lt. Joe Contreras with the Salvation Army is not one of those people, however.
Contreras said he's been in Odessa for the past five months, coming from College Station, and enjoys the opportunity to give people a warm meal when they need it.
In his past, Contreras said he was there himself when his father was in prison and his mother was trying to feed three children.
"Having those people do this for me when I was young, it affected me," he said.
And there are others passing through who otherwise wouldn't have a meal.
Dewitt Tranberg, who came from San Jose, Calif., a few months ago, said he's a plumber working in the area and possibly transferring out of Odessa to another location.
In the meantime, a friend of his is letting him stay in a shop.
Tranberg said he's grateful for the meal provided by Salvation Army, especially without any family in the area and with only recent concerns that he might not make it in Odessa and might not have enough money to get back to California.
Thanksgiving also has a special meaning for Tranberg, he said, as he can trace his lineage back to the original colonists.
He said this time of the year is for giving thanks.
