THE curtain comes down on the Wearside League season tonight when Ashbrooke Belford House aim to defeat Boldon CA at Silksworth and finish in the top half of the table.
Following an indifferent campaign, Tommy Dobbing's side has come good in recent weeks and a win in their final game would enable them to leapfrog Peterlee Town into 10th place.
"It's been a bit of a topsy turvey season, but the lads have picked up some good results recently. We'll be going all out for the three points tonight and if we succeed we'll finish equal on points with Peterlee and ninth placed Boldon CA," said Dobbing.
Kenny Taylor, Mark Green and Martin Deacon are ruled out, but Kyle Anderson, Stuart Burton, Michael Melmoe and Adam Drayton come into the plans of Dobbing.
Coxhoe Athletic, who have finished bottom, make the long journey to Cleator Moor Celtic in the other fixture.
John Ward, meanwhile, has severed his 12-year connection with Hartlepool where, in recent seasons, he was chairman.
"The committee took the decision to sack manager Chris Lax and this was the last straw" said Ward.
H The final of the Brooks Mileson Memorial Cup between STL Northern League Second Division Champions Team Northumbria and FA Carlsberg Vase beaten finalists West Auckland Town takes place at Coach Lane, Benton to wind up the STL season.

Hello everyone. I'm starting a project with baitboat. I have looking for gps for my boat but original gps system for baitboat costs over 500€. I'm guessing if I use ardupilot 2.6 but without connected outputs for servos will that be working? I must drive boat by myself only thing what I need is that boat is shown by my smartphone that can I drive more times to same location. Any suggestions? Help is greatly appreciated. Thank's David
Hi, yes that should work. Wou will need: apm,gps,telemetry.For the telemetry you can use wifi/bluetooth/3dr radios (with usb otg) + an Android device.I would suggest against apm though, go for a pixracer or pixhawk, because apm is no longer supported by the new firmware versions.
Thank's for the help. What is the best gps for the pixhawk that can I use? I'm guessing can I connect servos and all necessary but still driving in manual mode? Will be able to see exactly where boat is driving on screen even system is in manual mode?
Yes you can simply keep the boat in MANUAL mode all the time but it will still send all the telemetry to your ground station on your smartphone.Regarding GPSs the M8N's are all the rage these days.Depending on how far out your baitboat goes you will need a good telemetry radio system - wifi from you phone just won't go far enough. A 1W RFD900p on your baitboat and a standard 100mW telem radio connected to your smartphone would be a good start.
Thanks, Grant.

Asana and I have had an on and off again relationship for several years.
I tried Asana. Then I switched. I tried to match any application I could to David Allen's Getting Things Done method. For a while, the other options were good. Then recently when Asana upgraded it's interface, I decided to give it another try.
I love the new Asana.
The interface is clean and useful, without being distracting. The iPhone app gives me what I need when I'm in the moment, and the Desktop platform adds even more utility, with the expanded real estate of a large screen monitor.
Here are 9 features of Asana that make it a stand-out product in my view:
1. The Asana Interface Makes You Feel Like You Want to Get Stuff Done
The look and feel of Asana is beautiful. It provides functionality, without overwhelm. And many of Asana's tools (open task detail, select projects, edit task detail) are just a click away. Many of the panels within Asana can be expanded or collapsed (there's also a full screen view for tasks) which means you can focus on the things that make most sense to you.
2. Focus on Projects or Tasks…You Choose
The Projects panel on the left of the screen seems simple, but together with 'My Tasks', it really boosts the capability of this platform. I use the 'My Tasks' view to see everything I need to get done for the next 7 days. This keeps me focused on the things that matter during the week. But I also like to see the overall context for projects. So by going into individual projects, I can see all the milestones that need to be achieved to deliver that project. When a project milestone is due (and assigned to me), the task automatically drops into My Tasks, so I never miss a thing. Switching views between 7 Day Focus and Project views are incredibly valuable.
3. The Notes Panel is Incredibly Useful, Especially with Rich Text
The notes panel is where I keep all my notes on tasks. If I'm working on a task that spans multiple days, I add updates to the task status in the notes section. I also wrote this blog and others in the notes section of Asana. With a few keyboard shortcuts, Rich Text can be used easily, which helps to bring some of the functionality of a word processor (eg. bold items, add bullet points, etc).
4. Make Tasks Private or Collaborative
Any task in Asana can be made Private or Collaborative. By setting up Private Projects, users can store tasks they do not wish to be seen by others within Asana. But, if you want to collaborate with other members of your team, you can setup and assign tasks to team members that are not private. While at first this seems bizarre (because you are blending private and collaborative tasks in one platform) it makes sense after some practice, because any productivity tool should help the user accomplish all things, not just some things.
5. The Collaboration Features Help Teams Organise
Asana has some excellent collaboration features to help teams work together. Team members can assign tasks to each other, have text conversations, share files and update task notes. This takes work away from email (which everyone struggles to cope with these days) and into a central place where people can share, discuss and progress tasks. Asana is free for teams to 15 people, which makes it incredibly useful for small teams. This is especially relevant for non-profits, which often work with very distributed committees.
6. Switch Between Life's Contexts
One of the features of Asana is to setup and manage different workspaces. So you can have a workspace for your Personal projects, another one for the Community Organisation you're involved with, and another for your place of Work. Whatever life's contexts, you can setup a work space for it. According to Asana "a Workspace is a collection of people that collaborate on projects and tasks". As a Workspace Member, you can administer the workspace, including inviting or removing Workspace Guests.
7. Sections Give Amazing Flexibility
It would be easy to underrate the power of Sections in Asana. As a user you can create a section by adding a column to the end of any task title. Sections can be moved up or down in any task list. Here are some of the things you can use headings for:
- to categorise tasks lists (eg. grouping tasks that relate to each other, like 'things to buy when shopping')
- to categorise priority (eg. breaking task lists into high, medium and low)
- to setup processes and sequences (eg. when organising a picnic, setting up Sections for things to do before the picnic, at the picnic, after the picnic)
- to categorise activities (eg. fundraising, website, administration, etc)
Get the idea? Sections make Asana infinitely flexible not just for task management, but all types of organisation.
8. Leverage Repeatable Processes, Not Just Tasks
One of the features of Asana is to 'archive' and 'copy' projects. So if you run a particular process this year (say 'Setup and run an Annual General Meeting) and that process will be just as relevant next year, you can easily copy and re-use the process. This saves tremendous amounts of time for processes that are repeatable. It means we no longer have to 'rethink' activities, but instead can search for similar activities we've run in the past, and benefit from that prior thought. Very neat!
9. Search, Search, Search
Finding notes or tasks quickly and easily is a dream with Asana. The search bar is exactly where it should be. Front and center in the top panel of the screen, the faint grey lines hinting at you, just in case you need it. You don't even notice the search bar unless you're looking for it, and as soon as you are, it's there! Presto! Fantastic design. When you're managing hundreds of tasks due soon or a year into the future, search helps you deal with the complexity of your bold plans. And it does this extremely well.

189lb skate caught off Irish coast
Dutch angler Cornelius Plomp made the long trip to Northern Ireland in the hope of enjoying some rod-bending action, but got more than he bargained for when he landed this huge 189lb common skate.
After booking a trip aboard the Predator II charter boat, he was taken to a deep trench in the Red Bay off the coast of Northern Ireland which has a history of producing big rays.
A trio of other large skate were also landed during the same week by Cornelius, who said: "I've done a lot of fishing in my lifetime but this is a trip I'll never forget."

My hCG update. I am still anti the hCG diet! Don't do it! In fact, I won't be having anyone on my radio show that promotes this diet. There are numerous reasons I will share. The first two days on it I almost threw up each night. I am used to eating a clean and healthy, but the directions for the first two days are to eat as much fat and sugar as you can. It actually lists fried foods and ice cream. Made me ill! I didn't even eat that bad the second day, but tried to eat more than usual, and I was still sick. You may be thinking, I already eat badly, so what a great diet! Well, first I would work to eat better; second, I would still steer clear of any diet that promotes eating a lot of fat and sugar! Both in high amounts are not healthy. Also, foods high in fat and sugar are not nutrient dense, so there are two day your body is not getting the vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly.
Day three suddenly reduces you to a very low calorie diet, 500 calories to be exact. You stay on this restrictive diet for the remainder of phase II of the plan. The directions do not allow breakfast, but you can drink coffee in the morning. Then you can have 100 grams of protein, a vegetable, a piece of fruit and a bread stick for lunch and dinner. I was tired the morning of day three and had an important interview scheduled, so I drank coffee. I was sick as a dog all day! I almost fainted at the store trying to find bread sticks and a piece of fruit.
Day four, I made a fruit smoothie for breakfast, as I did not want to harm my body and my metabolism any further and had planned to attend SPIN class later, where I would burn off more calories than I was allotted for the day. Well ended up having massive stomach pains and feeling sick later in the day and was up all night in pain.
Needless to say, day five, I am absolutely exhausted and not on the diet any longer. I would not allow my best friend to stay on something this harmful to the body, so I decided to treat myself like my best friend.
500 kales a day is not enough to support your Basil Metabolic rate (resting metabolism). I don't care if you are on hCG or anything else that touts a different story. Your body requires a certain number of calories to function efficiently. 500 calories is also not enough calories to get all the nutrients your body needs.
Now, many are saying, well I lost weight on this diet. You could lose weight on a 500 calorie diet without the hCG, but I guarantee you won't keep it off for the long term. Of course there are outliers, as with any weight loss program or diet, so probably the usual 3% of people that do the hCG diet will keep it off for five or more years. I have asked three so called hCG experts that sell this diet at enormous prices for data showing a large cohort of people that have lost the weight and kept it off for five or more years. They have come up with 0. I even talked to one that admitted to doing it, gaining the weight back, and then doing it again. That is not my definition of being successful.
Yes, I am sure many of these people mean well. They may be among the 3% that kept it off and think they are helping people. I am not saying they are all shysters. I don't think these people are trained in nutrition and/or metabolic function, so they don't fully understand the damage it is doing to the body.
Any diet that promotes losing 30 lbs in 30 days or says it has been hidden from the public is obviously not healthy, so why do it to your self one more time? You did not gain 30 lbs, in 30 days, if you don't want to gain it all back; you better not plan to lose it in 30.
I think losing weight and finally keeping it off and being healthy sounds a lot more sexy than lose 30 lbs in 30 days, stop being scammed my these types of diets.
Without the nutrients your body needs, you will also look older faster and you won't look fit, you will look like a thin flabby person. Just something to think about! So please, make an attempt to actually eat nutritiously and move your body more, before doing another fix it quick scheme.
If you need my help, let me know!

text: FXStreet (Delhi) - Sean Callow, Research Analyst at Westpac, suggests that the ECB's dovish tone at its Oct meeting helped drive AUD/EUR as high as 0.6950 (EUR/AUD down to 1.4350) last week as expectations for aggressive new easing measures reached a crescendo. Key Quotes "Market disappointment over the ECB's cautious steps on 3 Dec should ensure AUD/EUR remains well short of last week's highs. Indeed bounces should be capped ahead of 0.6750 (EUR/AUD dips should find buyers above 1.48)." "But not all the rally in AUD against EUR between the 2 ECB meetings was due to EUR short positioning. Australia's decent domestic data has cooled expectations for further RBA easing and the M&A pipeline into Australia remains substantial. This should help limit AUD losses to EUR0.65 (EUR/AUD 1.54) multi-week." For more information, read our latest forex news.

iMac Pro review
MSI-K7N2 Delta2 Plat problems over clocking
I am new to all this so please forgive me if I seem a bit stupid, but we all have to start somewhere.
I have just built myself a new system (see my specs at the bottom of post) as far as I am aware this set up should allow for some pretty good over clocking, but I am having some problems. On first boot-up I entered the bios and changed the cpu fsb to 200mhz and set the fsb spead spectrum to "disabled" I noticed that the memory timings was set to "optimized" and the timings were;
T(ras) 5
T(rcd) 2
T(rp) 2
Which is what they should be according to Corsair.
I did not change anything else (except AGP aperture to 128mb) after loading windows XP sp2 and all was working fine I thought I would try and up the FSB a bit so back into the bios and I tried 205fsb but I noticed that when I changed this it automatically changed the memory timings (sorry can't remember what to but they were not 2-2-2-5) when I saved and exited it booted to my desk top but nothing would work (mouse or key board) rebooted back into bios reset 200fsb and it all works fine again (when you go back to 200fsb the mem timings revert back to 2-2-2-5)
I can go up as far as 203 fsb without any probs but anything over this and it just won't run. I know that a AMD Barton 3200+ 400mhz cpu is a good over clocker and I thought that the Corsair 3200XL was a good memory to overclock. I must be doing something wrong please can anyone help?
I have run memtest 3.1 for four hous with no errors, I have tried setting the DRAM Freq to spd,auto and 1.1 but it made no difference.

Hello WLF.com community.
Every year I end up with the worse poison oak ever. Typically during the pre-season I do research to see if there are any new ideas or products that are out there to help prevent poison oak. If anyone has suggestions for me that would be great. I get it so bad that I think I might need a cortisone shot this year.
Thank you.

There is nothing you can take that will prevent you from getting poison oak (or ivy) if you've touched it and the oil is on your skin.. I did see a website (www.techlabsinc.com) that has products that if used right away, will remove the oil from your skin.. the only problem here is that you have to pretty much wash the oil away as soon as possible. The only other preventative measure is to completely avoid contact… being that you're a wildland firefighter, this may be difficult, if not impossible to achieve..
Good Luck!!
Go online and order a bottle of oral ivy. I used to get oak bad but after taking this stuff as directed I only get a very small rash at most.
What capt38 says. I moved away from poison oak decades ago, but through the 1970s & 1980s that was the only solution I found reasonably effective in NoCal & W OR. At the time, steroids were considered a post-exposure extreme measure — not sure what the current game is.
I assume you've talked to your personal physician? That should be your first stop for health-related advice. They may well not be an expert on poison oak as such, but should be involved in your decisions if it is as bad as you say, and may be able to prescribe antihistamines or steroids ahead of time that could assist with heading off a severe reaction, or treating it early.
MTDC did a report on preventing poison ivy and recommended IvyBlock. It is no longer available but have heard from the field that IvyX seems to work.
This could be a little off topic but what happens when poison oak smoke is inhaled? Does it enter the blood stream and cause for extreme poison oak cases?
Don't know about that but…we were on the SQF burning and holding line. We had four lighters and the rest of the crew was holding. Smoke came over the line for a while, naturally. The next day the whole crew was in the hospital getting prednisone shots and pills. If I remember correctly the diagnosis was poison oak from ingestion.
It is probably a little late in the season for this but if you are really having severe problems increasing in severity each season depending on the response you get from your primary provider I would recommend seeing an allergist if you have one in your area,
But actually nothing will beat using whatever is the best cleansing agent that you can fine and using it as promptly and thoroughly as possible. Then you have less to treat. but you know that.
I have heard Certo works. I haven't tried it, but I have talked to some that have and they say it works. Worth a try.
Ditto on the Certo………. from a friends son who was highly allergic to P.O.
use Dawn dish soap to scrub away the oils
Take some dawn dish soap and wash up as fast as you can with it once you come in to contact. You can shower and wash gear fast and cheep. Zanfel I understand is a good fix but $$$$ http://www.zanfel.com/help. Steroids like cortisone and prednisone are aid once you have it and NOT returning to it as it is not a prevention. Also note the use of Steroids have there own problems and should be taken with care. Let you medical provider the last time you were given any. Also TAKE all pills and in the timeline given as cutting your dose to fast if on for an extended time can case other major problems like depression etc.
I used to get the "Oak" pretty bad when I worked in SOCAL. For me, the best thing was a six pack and a day at the beach. Salt water is actually a pretty good cleanser and the six pack ……. I caution about getting sun burned. Burned skin can't sweat and if you can't sweat, you are more likely to get sun stroke. I found that out from experience. On one fire, the medical folks set up a double nozzle shower across from their tent so folks could wash away their oak. This was in the middle of the camp and there were a couple of pallets and a tall 2 x 4 to hold the nozzles. This was hooked to a garden hose. There were no partitions or blinds at all. A buddy and I were prescribed to use the showers. I've never felt as exposed as I was then standing naked in the middle of fire camp.
I carried a bottle of rubbing alcohol in my pack and used it as soon as I could after exposure. I'd rub myself down then rinse with canteen water to get rid of the poison oak oils. Alcohol is water soluble so it worked pretty good. If you reduce the contact time of the poison oak oil, the allergic reaction will be less. Not perfect, of course but pretty good.
You need to break it into 3 different issues. 1. Preventing the oil on the skin, keep sleeves down, gloves on, don't touch face with gloves, ever, and use an ivy block or ivy-x product. This keeps the oil from getting on you. 2. getting oil off of you BEFORE you break out. Use Technu liquid cleaner, use it right, most people use it wrong. Put it on DRY skin that has poison oak exposure, not wet, and rub it in for a FULL 2 MINUTES on each affected area. Repeat if needed, rinse it off. 3. Stopping the itch if you break out. Use Zanfel cream for this, or a prescription cortisone product. Zanfel cream does very well IF you have all the oil off of you. Remember you can clean all you want, but if the oil is on your boots, or hardhat, or gloves, and you touch those, you have the oil on you again. Try various things, but these 3 steps are what you need to do. Good luck.
Give this a look over. It may be useful.
I'm hyper-allergic. I got it once shaking hands. I had a standing Rx from my allergist for prednisone shot, cream, and pills. I was in NCal about 5 years ago and ran across a soap called Poison Oak&Ivy soap, has a red leaf on the cover with the name. You can google it. It takes the oil right off my skin, I usually don't even itch. I carry a bar in my pack. The bar will melt, so I keep the box in a zip lock, soon as it cools off it reforms and still works. Haven't used my Rx since.
My advice from someone who used to be very sensitive to ivy/oak: consider moving/working in a different part of the country where these plants do not exist. If that is not possible, research/get testing as to why you have a compromised immune system from a naturopathic approach. Mine stemmed from food allergies, leaky gut syndrome, and autoimmune issues. This approach takes an incredible amount of self-discipline and commitment for many years but the associated benefits of healing yourself from the inside could save/lengthen your life.
I too got poison oak so bad that I missed a whole month of school and had to repeat the 5th grade. When I was in high school I was on a hoshot team for Oregon State Forestry. My Doctor gave me a series of shots over about a 4 or 5 month period prior to the fire season to reduce the effect exposure to poison oak had on me. I am now 65 years old, retired Forest Service with lots of fire exposure. To this day my reaction to poison oak is that I only develop a small patch rather thanit covering my entire body. The Doctor was also very concerned about smoke and breathing burnt poison oak, so be very careful.
Hope this helps, talk to your Doctor. Be safe.

The college essay is without a doubt one of the very best tools offered within the application procedure to allow your student to considerably attract attention from the competitors. The reason this holds true is due to the fact that what admissions officers are looking for in the essay is information about the student's character that can not be caught in other parts of application. Simply puts, how well the student understands themselves and the quality through which they can communicate that understanding. The essay section is more of a believed test than it is a composing test. The goal obviously being one easy thing: to convince your audience to accept the student into their college. Where most students fail in the essay writing process is focusing too greatly on composing to impress their audience rather of composing to persuade their audience. Got that?
I remember when I initially started public speaking I use to believe that the best way to talk with an audience was packing them up on smart sounding realities and figures. I would constantly attempt to impress my audience with a comprehensive selection of information in order to reveal them that I was qualified to be a public speaker. This constantly led to audience members passively listening and generally losing interest after being overwhelmed by too much unnecessary information. It had not been till I read a book by a guy named Jonathan Sprinkles that I finally discovered the value of emotionally connecting to an audience when I finally learned ways to convince my audience and get them to do something about it.
The significant lesson with both public speaking and college essay writing is that true persuasion is all about emotionally connecting to your audience. It meanses demonstrating through deeply rich stories and examples that your student's life teems with both emotionally extreme hardships and unbelievable marks of individual achievement. Informing stories that generate strong emotions of empathy, admiration and interest are exactly what make a lasting impression to any reader including the admission officers.
Essays fulled of too many remarkable but empty titles, redundant scholastic statistics, and elegant words fail since they eventually do not have any sticking power; they become a blur in the mind of admissions officers after they've checked out a thousand or more essays of a similar nature.
In college admissions writing the true measure of an exceptional essay is not the sophistication of the student's writing however rather the elegance of the idea that preceded the writing. Among my preferred quotes by Albert Einstein is that "Everything should be as basic as it is, however not easier." An intelligent state of mind to have when starting the essay writing process is to try not to make the composing tasks more difficult than it truly is by focusing too much on how to impress the reader. The following concepts utilized in my system are developed to assist your student both creatively and systematically craft some of the finest college admissions essays practical.
Getting Ideas
Making sure that your student creates leading producing college essays initially starts with creating great ideas. As a starting point, I suggest having the student sit down with a stack of flash cards and jot down all potential essay ideas that come to mind and write them down on the front of each flash card. After having actually doinged this to then go over each idea on the flash cards and expand more intimately on what each idea indicates to the student by writing notes on the back of the cards. These notes need to include anything relevant from certain examples of how the idea connects to their past experiences, individual stories that might develop the concept to life experiences that show the core message of exactly what they want to communicate.
Another concept you desire to keep in my as your student brainstorms prospective topics is to bear in mind that the path has actually already been laid out by previous high school students. What this means is that examples of top essays held as great by admission officers already exist and by tapping into and modeling these shown essays your student will be more likely to produce an excellent essay themselves. So take the time to study leading college essays and discover the commonness they all share. Such commonalities I have actually observed in leading producing essays include:
Having a special theme
Eliciting powerful emotions
Being particular in its examples
Personal to the student
Well arranged and clear
I will certainly warn you nevertheless of focusing too much on trying to make the college essay innovative. It is far more smart to concentrate on making the essay in fact sellable to the admissions workplace in contrast to being merely imaginative in nature. A great example of exactly what I imply by this is when the Greek statesmen Aeschines spoke, his nation said, "How well he speaks." However when his challenger Demosthenes spoke, they stated "Let us march against Philip." The lesson being that it doesn't matter how creative your student's essay is if the college doesn't in fact doing anything since of it.

1 billion Android devices shipped in 2014, but not how Google intended
Last year was a landmark year for Android, as the number of devices shipping with the operating system exceeded 1 billion for the first time. The impressive figure, taken from research firm Strategy Analytics, means that Android's share of the smartphone market is now 81 percent. But while it is impressive, that's not how Google intended it.
This figure is considerably higher than the 15 percent share of the market held by Apple's iOS, and theoretically means that there are now enough Android phones in circulation to supply one in seven people in the world. But the figures also reveal that iOS market share reached 20 percent (74.5 million units) in Q4 2014 for the first time in Apple's history, putting it on par with market leader Samsung.
Apple's end-of-year boom can be partly attributed to the release of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in September, while Samsung didn't release a major flagship phone during that period. Nevertheless, Apple's market share improved more year-on-year than any other manufacturer.
Another caveat to Android's success is that the 1 billion units shipped include not only certified (OHA) versions of Android from major manufacturers, but also 'forked' or AOSP (Android Open Source Project) versions. These Android variants use Android's source code (which is free for anyone to customize), but replace Google's apps and services with their own ones, making it much harder for Google to profit from them.
Forked versions of Android have been on the rise in emerging markets like India and China, where local manufacturers strip back Android's features to optimize it for budget devices. According to Strategy Analytics, around 37 percent of Android devices now ship with forked versions of the OS.
The forked threat could grow further if Cyanogen makes good on its aim to "take Android away from Google". The company behind the Android re-skin CyanogenMod could reportedly receive backing from Microsoft, and is looking to go fully forked and break away from Google's loosening grip on the Android ecosystem.
Are you excited to see developers reworking Android to be less Google-centric, or do you feel the OS is best left in the hands of the company that propelled it to becoming the world's most popular mobile platform?

Habit, fear of changes, stagnation, vanity and fashion enslave the Apple crowd. Apple sells hardware and software at very expensive prices.
Google is an ethical, utilitarian Corporation birthing useful devices (and other activities). How many diseases had Apple mapped genetically?. Does Apple have a Solo driving car?
Is Apple going into space as Google is?.How precise is the Apple GPS?......etc.,etc.
Statistics is another way of manipulating the truth.
Simply put Apple prices to the Google number of devices and your deception is clearly obvious. It is not all about money.
All plastic all the time nexus 6 $929
IPhone 6+ $1269
Strangly not 3 times more expensive.
Thanks for fixing your article Robert! I do believe it is inevitable that there will be, and should be, a pure Android (Google free) smartphone at some stage. Providing it's done right, unlike Nokia's half hearted effort, it would be quite a success. I'm sure there's a great many people who'd be interested! God bless Android!
The google free android device, may never come(would be sweet thou), Most os's , have something that just"comes" with it. Every os made, has something that comes with it. Like a identity.
Google did not create Android they bought it. Google are not your friend, they have been invading your privacy for quite some time now. And yes, I would like to see a Google free Android device! There has yet to be an actual Android phone, all we mostly have now are actually Google phones that use Android. Google fill the phones up with their apps, you have to join Google to really get full use of the phone, you can't put a review on Google Play unless you join Google+ which I refuse to do. Previously having an gmail account was enough but not anymore. You have to allow them access into your contacts so goodbye privacy of your friends and family! I suspect Google suffers with delusions of big brother. I use to like them but after learning more of them I distrust them. Android is an open source project, I think it would be better with a lot less Google!
if it bothers, you could always choose Apple.
Or a non-smart phone.
edit- Or...build your own smart phone, and program your own os. I vote you do that one. :-D
Ah, silly slip-up. Article has now been edited. Thanks Yanwyn

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to computer security.
2. Related Art
In a data delivery system, data receivers need to know whether they can trust information they receive from senders. This need is increasing due to the growth of data exchanges and business transactions taking place on the Internet over non-secure communication links.
The growing Public Key Infrastructure ("PKI") provides a way for receivers of data to know whether they can trust information they receive from senders. In the PKI, trusted third parties issue digital certificates ("public key certificates") that attest to the authenticity of the binding of a public key to its owner. These trusted third parties are known as certification authorities "CAs", or sometimes are called "public CAs" if their services are available to the public. These digital certificates are created and used using known encryption and decryption security techniques. Verisign, Inc. is an example of a public CA. Senders obtain a certificate from a CA, and include the certificate with the data they wish to send to the receiver The certificate includes enough information for the receiver to verify that the sender's self-identification is accurate (verification of identity), and that the data was not compromised between the sender and the receiver (validation of contents).
The PKI has the general drawback that digital certificates accepted by the receiver are limited to those from certification authorities that the receiver already trusts. Thus the general problem of providing trust information to the receiver is inherent in the PKI. The trust information required by the receiver can include the identities of trusted senders, for what purpose the senders are trusted, and sufficient information to authenticate messages from the trusted senders.
For instance, Secure Socket Layer ("SSL) is a widely adopted protocol that is used within the PKI for authentication and encryption. To authenticate a message, the client must have enough trust information regarding the digital certificate sent by the SSL server ("server certificate")—at a minimum the client must have an authentic copy of the certificate of the CA who issued the SSL server certificate. However, computers, particularly in the consumer market, have limited resources, including limited nonvolatile storage, to store such information.
A computer administrator must decide which CA's to trust. In the case of personal computers used in homes or small offices, the user may be unsophisticated, lacking in knowledge, or unwilling to make and implement his trust decisions. A common solution is providing a factory-defined set of trust relationships. This makes the security measures transparently available to the user. However it is impractical for inexpensive personal computing devices due to the high cost of nonvolatile memory. In addition this solution provides a static set of trust relationships, and does not provide for updates.
The Incorporated Disclosures provide a method for a computing device to acquire trust information after it is manufactured. These applications disclose the general approach of using Security Information Objects ("SIOs"), with a single Trusted Security Information Provider (or at least a single level of TSIPs) defining the trust relationship for all parties. One drawback of the method disclosed is only the TSIP can issue an SIO. Furthermore, the TSIP must administer all parties's trust information, when the TSIP may only be interested in detailed definition of the trust relationship between the TSIP and its closest business partners. Yet, the TSIP may wish to retain some general control over what other partners can do.
In addition, complex interrelated business relationships exist and are evolving on the Internet, and it is desirable to design a system that will also provide accountability and enforcement of complex business relationships and rules. An example business hierarchy is shown in
Accordingly, it would be advantageous for a security system to provide a way for each business party to dynamically provide trust information to its clients based on its own business and security requirements, while centralized control is maintained where desired. The system would be transparent to the end-user, and would be easy to implement.
The invention provides a Hierarchical Open Security Information Delegation and Acquisition System which allows secure and dynamic distribution of security information to multiple clients over non-secure channels. It also allows parties to modify the security information, within boundaries that are set by higher-level parties. Such modification can include adding third-party CAs to the list of entities trusted to issue SSL certificates. It provides a technique for each business party to define its own trust relationships with other entities including public CAs, within the parameters that are hierarchically set.
The invention provides a method and system for secure data transfer and dynamic definition of trustworthiness of various entities by multiple parties in a hierarchy tree or graph structure. Each party in the business hierarchy can control and define various trust information including trustworthiness and delegation authority for the entities it deals with. The ability of a party to redefine or add trust information is controlled by the parties with which it has a relationship that are above it in the hierarchy. Trust vectors and delegation vectors are used to store this information. Each party can add trusted third parties to a security object without compromising the integrity of security objects already issued.
In the following description, a preferred embodiment of the invention is described with regard to preferred process steps and data structures. Those skilled in the art would recognize after perusal of this application that embodiments of the invention can be implemented using one or more general purpose processors or special purpose processors or other circuits adapted to particular process steps and data structures described herein, and that implementation of the process steps and data structures described herein would not require undue experimentation or further invention.
Alternative embodiments may use other and further forms of authentication and certification, using other forms of cryptography either in addition to or instead of public key cryptography, and are within the scope and spirit of the invention.
Inventions disclosed herein can be used in conjunction with inventions disclosed in the Incorporated Disclosures, referenced previously.
The invention provides a secure and dynamic way of distributing trust information from a centralized authority to parties in a hierarchy that have a relationship with it. Among other things, it provides client with enough information to identify trusted SSL servers and authenticate messages from them. It allows each party to define its own trust relationship with the other business parties in the hierarchy and with other entities, including public CAs, within boundaries that are set hierarchically.
The invention provides a way for the hierarchical structure of business relationships to be incorporated into a security system. The party that is directly above another party in the hierarchy has control over the security information of the lower party—including what kind of third-party entities can be added by the lower party.
A root certificate of the top-level entity in the hierarchy, the Software Provider ("SP") in the preferred embodiment, is preferably stored in non-volatile memory of a computing device at the time of manufacture. Because subsequent SP root certificates are chained together as described in the "Incorporated Disclosures", the computing device can verify any later SP root certificate by chaining back to the one stored in its non-volatile memory. (Or, it can verify by chaining back to a more recent SP root certificate it has stored locally subsequent to time of manufacture.)
Each of the other parties provides its own root certificate to the party directly above it in the hierarchy. The higher party includes a fingerprint of the lower party's root certificate in a digital object, called the Root Security Information Object (RSIO).
Each party can define detailed trust information, including additional trusted third-party public CAs. Each party generates its own RSIO, which it digitally signs and passes to the next higher party in the tree. RSIOs are the basic source of trust information.
For any party in the hierarchy, a path can be traced back to the top level party. Each party in the path has an RSIO. When the RSIOs are chained together, that object is called a Hierarchical Security Information Object (HSIO). The RSIOs of the parties (chained into an HSIO) are able to authenticate by tracing an unbroken path of authentication all the way back to the top of the tree, i.e. the Software Provider in the preferred embodiment. Because the SP's root certificate is locally available to all other parties, it can verify the SP's RSIO and each subsequent RSIO can also be verified, given the structure of the RSIOs, as described below.
A "digital certificate" is a non-forgeable, tamper-proof electronic document that binds an entity's identity to its public key, as is known in the art of public key cryptography. Public key cryptography is discussed in the "Incorporated Disclosures."
A "root certificate" is a self-signed and self-authenticating digital certificate.
An entity's "fingerprint" or "signature" is unique data that another entity can recognize as genuine but cannot duplicate. It can function as a person's fingerprint or signature functions in everyday life. In the preferred embodiment, an entity's fingerprint is a SHA-1 hash of its X.509 version 3 certificate.
A "client" is any computing device that participates in the system, including a classical end-user of a conventional network. Examples of a client are a conventional personal computer or workstation, personal digital assistant, a set-top box, cellular telephone, or digital pager. In discussions of the preferred embodiment the term "client" refers to a set-top box used by a customer of an ISP which could be, for instance, a cable TV service.
A "party" is one of the entities that is authorized to issue RSIOs.
Business Scenario in the Preferred Embodiment
For clarity, the invention is described as applied to a business model in the consumer market, as described below, with the hierarchy having three levels. A sample business hierarchy is shown in
In the preferred embodiment, the party at the top of the hierarchy is the Software Provider (SP). It provides software that runs on servers and clients of a web-based TV system.
The SP has a business contract with one or more Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs"), for the OEM to manufacture and distribute client and server devices that use SP's software. The OEM is the owner of the hardware (servers and clients that run SP's software) used by the lower levels. The OEM is a large national cable TV company that broadcasts shows. The OEM is the middle level of the hierarchy.
The OEM contracts with one or more Internet Service Providers ("ISPs"). The ISP provides service to individual customers. The ISP also provides its customers with OEM client computers running SP software. The ISP is a small local cable company. The hierarchy can assume many shapes. For example, an ISP may contract with several OEMs, or an OEM may contract with several ISPs.
The invention can be practiced with many other business models. The top-level entity need not be a software provider and need not be affiliated with web-based TV. It can be any entity requiring computer security, including a financial institution, an insurance company, a retail store, a government agency, etc. Likewise, the lower-level entities, if any, can be any entities having a business relationship with the other entities. Currently in the cable television business, it is common for an OEM to also function as the ISP. The business model can have fewer or more than three levels.
Root Certificates
Each party in the hierarchy provides a root certificate. The root certificate is preferably in X509 version 3 format. A schematic depiction of this format is shown in
There are three types of root certificates in the preferred embodiment: SP root certificate, OEM root certificate, and ISP root certificate.
Chaining of SP Root Certificate
Being the top authority, the SP root certificates are chained together as described in the "Incorporated Disclosures." Using this locally stored root certificate, subsequent chained SP root certificates can be verified and validated, as described in the "Incorporated Disclosures." Briefly, root certificate chaining is accomplished by placing, in the current certificate, a digest—obtained by means of a one-way secure hash function—of the public key of the next key pair, i.e. the key pair which will replace the current key pair when the current certificate expires.
Revocation of the root certificate is accomplished as described in the Incorporated Disclosures.
At the time of manufacture, the most recent and valid root certificate for the SP is stored in nonvolatile memory of the computing device. When an updated SP root certificate is received, the computing device stores this most recent root certificate. (Thus, a later SP root certificate need only be verified to the most recent root certificate that the computing device has previously stored, which saves time.) However, if the client system reverts to its initial operating state (for instance because of a system malfunction resulting in the loss of all data in writable storage), the client will always be capable of verifying a later root certificate using the root certificate that is stored in the computing device's nonvolatile memory at the time of manufacture.
OEM and ISP Root Certificates: Self-Signed and Self-Authenticating
The root certificates of lower level entities (OEM and ISP root certificates in the preferred embodiment) are just like any public CA certificates: they are self-signed and self-authenticating as known in the art of cryptography. They are not chained together. To renew or revoke such a root certificate, the certificate is reissued with new key pairs. Note the higher level party should also remove such a compromised root certificate by removing the root certificate from its RSIO.
Root Security Information Object and Hierarchical Security Information Object
Each party (SP, OEM, ISP) generates its own root security information object (RSIO). A sample RSIO for an OEM is shown in
The OEM's RSIO and the ISP's RSIO each contains its current active root certificate. The SP's RSIO preferably contains the SP's entire root certificate chain. That is, referring to
A party's RSIO preferably contains an entry for each entity directly below the party in the hierarchy and can also include a list of the third party CAs that the party trusts. Each trusted entity (preferably either an OEM, ISP, or third party CA) has an entry in the RSIO. Each entity is identified by its fingerprint (to save space).
The trust information for the each trusted entity is given in the RSIO, and is preferably implemented by a vector of bits. The delegation information for each trusted entity is given, and is preferably implemented by a vector of bits.
Trust Vector and Delegation Vector
Each entity has associated with it a trust vector. Each bit in the trust vector designates a role the entity may play. Preferably, some bits in the trust vector indicate things the entity may do. A sample trust/delegation vector is shown in
The trust bits can also indicate what role a Public CA can play. For example, some Public CAs may only be trusted to issue certificates for low-security applications such as personal email, whereas other Public CAs may be trusted to issue certificates for high-security application such as securities trading or electronic funds transfer.
Other bits in the trust vector identify the entity as belonging to a certain class, which is trusted to do certain acts. For instance, bit 2 may indicate that the entity is an OEM (and thus trusted to issue OEM RSIOs) and bit 3 may indicate that the entity is an ISP (and thus trusted to issue ISP RSIOs. Other bits may indicate the entity is one of SP's special business partners such an SP system software publisher, which is trusted to do certain acts.
Preferably, each trusted Entity listed in the RSIO has associated with it a delegation vector. Preferably, each bit in the delegation vector designates whether the corresponding trust vector bit may be turned on by the entity next lowest in the RSIO hierarchy. For instance, the delegation vector in the RSIO for a specific OEM indicates what bits ISPs of that OEM may turn on. This has the effect that an ISP may reduce the trust roles the OEM has assigned an entity (by turning off a trust bit) but may not enlarge the trust roles the OEM has assigned to an entity in the RSIO.
In addition to enabling the OEM to retain control of the changes that an ISP may make, the delegation vector enables the SP to define what authority the OEM or any lower level party has. Thus, the SP can control to some extent what authority all other parties have by being able to prohibit lower entities authority to take certain actions by turning off the delegation vector bit for that action.
Chaining of RSIOs
The RSIO for an entity contains the fingerprints of its children in the hierarchy. The fingerprint is preferably a hash of the root certificate. That is, the OEM's RSIO contains a hash of the ISP's root certificate, and the SP's RSIO contains a hash of the OEM's root certificate.
A chain of RSIO's from the SP's RSIO to OEM's RSIO to ISP's RSIO forms a Hierarchical Security Information Object. Preferably the chain is formed using the fingerprint of the root certificate of the next entity in the chain as the link, as shown schematically in
HSIO Validation
In the preferred embodiment, the client obtains updated trust information via an HSIO. Before the client relies on the trust information in the HSIO, it must check that the HSIO is genuine and has not been tampered with. An HSIO is a chain of RSIO's from the client back to the SP. In the preferred embodiment, for a client of ISP1, that is an ISP of OEM1, the RSIO chain will consist of SP's RSIO→OEM1's RSIO→ISP1's RSIO.
The client can validate the HSIO by the following procedure set out in
If the HSIO passes the checks set out in the previous paragraph, it is a valid and genuine HSIO.
Update of HSIO
Preferably, the ISP generates new updated HSIOs, because it is the lowest level in the hierarchy, interacting directly with clients. (However, updating of HSIOs can be done by another party.) To generate a new HSIO for a given chain, the ISP needs the current RSIOs of the SP, OEM, and its own RSIO.
Preferably, the client periodically sends the latest timestamp of the three RSIOs in the HSIO (RSIO chain) to the ISP so that the ISP can determine whether a new HSIO should be sent.
Events that trigger generation of a new HSIO are the issuance of a new root certificate by any link in the ISP-OEM-SP chain, and when the trust information in any of the RSIOs has changed.
An example use of the invention is set forth here. The SSL protocol is widely used. It may often be desirable for a client to be able to do a transaction with a computer using SSL that is not one of the SP's business partners. For example, a client (cable TV customer) that wants to purchase products over a web-based TV application may need to exchange information with a financial institution SSL server.
The client will receive a server certificate, either signed by a CA or else self-signed, from the third-party server. Suppose server certificate is signed by Verisign as a public CA. The client must determine whether this CA is trusted to issue a server certificate.
In the preferred embodiment, the ISP is delegated authority to designate trusted SSL servers and to designate CAs trusted to sign SSL server certificates (In actual application any specific ISP may or may not have such authority depending on how higher level entities have delegated authority. To check whether an ISP has authority to designate CAs trusted to sign SSL certificates, the trust/delegation vector of the OEM RSIO entry for this ISP would be checked.) In the preferred embodiment, the ISP having authority to designate CAs trusted to do so, the client checks the ISP RSIO to see if Verisign is included as a CA trusted to sign SSL server certificates. (Instead of a CA signing the server certificate, the server certificate may be self-signed, e.g. by Citibank. In such a case, the client checks the ISP RSIO to see whether Citibank is a trusted SSL server.)
If the CA signing the server certificate (Verisign in our example) is not authorized to do so in the ISP RSIO, then the client checks the OEM RSIO to see if Verisign is included as a CA trusted to sign SSL server certificates. (Or, if instead of CA such as Verisign signing, the server certificate is self-signed, e.g. by Citibank, the client checks the OEM RSIO to see that Citibank is a trusted SSL server.)
If no authorization is found in the ISP RSIO or the OEM RSIO, then the SP RSIO is similarly checked. If this check fails, then the client cannot do a transaction with this SSL server.
If authorization is found in any of the RSIOs in the HSIO, then the standard SSL handshake protocol proceeds.
Using strong encryption internationally is strictly regulated by the U.S. government. However, a trust bit can be designated to control whether a party is not trusted to use strong encryption. Preferably, this trust bit would be turned off in the SP RSIO for computing devices where strong encryption is allowed. The respective delegation bit would also be turned off, so that lower level entities could not enable strong encryption.
Although preferred embodiments are disclosed herein, many variations are possible which remain within the concept, scope and spirit of the invention, and these variations would become clear to those skilled in the art after perusal of this application.

I have had writer's block for the past few days trying to write this post. I had so many ideas, but as I began to write them, none, and I mean none (I wrote like 3 different posts y'all) resonated with me. After looking at them, I didn't feel connected to what I was writing. With the first couple of posts I wrote, it was feeling way too advice-y and that's not how I wanted this to start. So finally, here I am, writing this piece: from social media to social impact.
Over the past couple of months, I have noticed an almost 180 degree change in my approach to certain things. What once seemed so important, no longer gives me the gratification it once did. My focus has shifted from self-elevation to how I can use what I have to help others. Let's be real, a lot of times when it comes to helping others, we tend to think of how that helps us and our ego…or was that just me? Yikes…
My mom spent the last quarter of her life devoted to helping others while also spreading the Gospel. This yearning for others to know Jesus as she knew Him prompted her to start a women's ministry focused on helping women from all walks of life: single, married, divorce, with kids, barren, etc., with the love of God being at the center of all her advice. After she passed, I saw the IMMENSE impact she made in that short amount of time. When we leave this earth, people don't talk about how much we had or possessed. But instead, the focus is on our character and what we did for others. Her actions have inspired me to be more intentional about what I post and share with you all. She had her platform and now I have mine.
If you've followed my Instagram page for some time now, you may have noticed a shift in the way I present my pictures. Not just aesthetically, but in the captions. With a lot of my posts now, I try to write something that is more than just a "hey look at me and my stuff". While initially (and still even so) it was a way for me to release some of these emotions I had, I realized that these captions resonated with people. Sure, nice pictures are pleasing to the eye. But a nice picture only goes so far. I was tired of posting similar content with similar captions. Really. It was doing absolutely nothing for me. And it was starting to make me feel extremely discontent.
Which brings me to my point of turning social media into social impact. I've mentioned countless times that social media is a beast. There have been times that I literally exit out of Instagram feeling empty. So I've been on this social media purge, unfollowing the unnecessary and filling my timeline with things that are actually impactful. Pages that push me to do more for others, focused on self-love, and social justice. I want my page to be of substance because there is too much inauthenticity going around these days. I think of young celebrities such as Yara Shahidi and Zendaya who use their platform and following to speak on issues affecting the world. To me, a following doesn't mean squat if all I'm doing is talking about my clothes, and my shoes, and my outings, etc.
And that sentiment, to me, has gotten lost in the sauce these days. People have taken the term inspiration and have turned into a "I show my things, in turn, people become inspired by those things". They have become complacent in being silent in order to not scare off their "followers". And guess what? I'm tired of that. I refuse to sit back and watch as people's lives are literally discarded because of the lack of empathy in this world. Social media to some people is just a platform, but it can be a powerful tool used to help and impact people on a large scale. And I am ready to take that on.
Until next time…
"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4

The Los Angeles Kings played the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday and despite needing blind luck, they extended their win streak to seven games.
While the Kings may not have had their best game in terms of scoring despite having 50 shots on goal against their former goaltender Ben Scrivens, they found a way to get the goals when they needed them, however lucky they needed to be. Forward Jeff Carter, the first star of the game, scored two goals and neither came directly from his stick. While many people deny it, luck is one of the biggest variables in the game of hockey; after Sunday's game, Carter would most certainly agree with that.
His first goal came off a centering pass of his that was inadvertently kicked into the net by Oilers defenseman Philip Larsen, the epitome of a lucky goal. His second goal was was no different, as a rebound bounced off of his leg and past Scrivens to increase the Kings' lead. Los Angeles goaltender Jonathon Quick made 25 saves on 27 shots, sealing the victory for the Kings after Alec Martinez and Trevor Lewis added a goal each to help the Kings win.
While the Kings are still struggling to be at the place that they want to be this season, they continue to distance themselves from the teams below them in the standings as they continue to win. The Kings are in third place in their division in a playoff spot, and they are 11 points ahead of the Phoenix Coyotes, the team below them in the division standings.
The Kings might not be entirely happy with their season, if they continue to play the way they have been, they will easily make the playoffs. This will offer them a chance to redeem their season by making a statement when it counts.

The victory of the Queen's Carlton House in the Dante at York three years ago created a huge amount of pre-race publicity for the Investec Derby, racing's blue riband. On Wednesday the Queen can give the Derby's sister Classic, the Oaks, a similar boost by winning the Tattersalls Musidora at York with Shama.
The Queen provided one of sport's great feel-good stories when Estimate won last year's Ascot Gold Cup – the television footage of her reaction was unforgettable – and much like her terrific stayer, Shama is the result of a breeding collusion with the Aga Khan.
Not so long ago it would have been beyond comprehension for a potential Classic filly to not have raced on turf by the middle of May but several Classic winners have started life on an artificial surface and it is now fairly common practice.
Shama has run twice, both times on the all-weather. After a nice introduction at Kempton in November, she sluiced up in her maiden at Lingfield by 4½ lengths from Court Room at the start of April.
She may not have beaten much that day but she did it in good style, she is bred to get the Oaks trip and much like Sir Michael Stoute's Snow Sky – who put himself into Derby contention by winning his trial at Lingfield on Saturday – she is almost bound to come on for that first start.
It is a tough ask to go from her maiden to a Group Three against others with similar potential, including William Haggas's unbeaten Queen Of Ice and Cambridge, the Charlie Hills-trained filly who won her only start at two, a mile maiden at Nottingham.
Regardez and Lady Chiang both looked smart when winning as juveniles, while the highest-rated of the lot last year was the Philip Kirby-trained Lady Heidi, who will relish the soft ground.
John Warren, the Queen's racing adviser, said Shama was enormous. "She's very, very big, as big as they come," he explained.
"She looks like a galloper and the Queen is fascinated by her. We will learn a lot more about where we go next with her being thrown in the deep end today.
"We are quietly confident she is a class filly but, as yet, she hasn't done something at home to make us think she is a Group One filly.
"That, however, isn't Sir Michael Stoute's way; he doesn't test them out at home which makes it all the more fascinating."
He added: "She's a big powerful filly so I'd be surprised if the ground [which is soft] was to her detriment. It's not like she's a little thing with little feet."
Warren also said that Estimate was behind schedule in her preparation for the defence of the Gold Cup and that the next three weeks would be crucial to her chance of a repeat.
Three-year-olds are always reckoned to be at a disadvantage against their elders, but Middle Park winner Astaire is returning to the course, distance and ground on which he won last year's Gimcrack and can win the Duke of York Clipper Logistics Stakes for Kevin Ryan while Clever Cookie can get the May meeting off to a good start for Yorkshire by winning the opening StanJames.com Stakes.
Peter Niven's gelding was a smart bumper horse, is just a notch off top level over hurdles and made an impressive, if belated, start on the Flat at Newcastle in similar conditions last time.
Six runners have been declared for Thursday's Dante but the trainers of two, Saeed Bin Suroor and Peter Chapple-Hyam, say that Derby second favourite True Story and Arod respectively will run only if the ground is good enough.

Entrepreneur.com recently published an article displaying the common misconceptions made about social media marketing. In response to this, the site has allowed vice president of business development at GraphEffect, Greg Lieber, to produce a rebuttal, entitled "Five truths about social media marketing."
Here is a selection of the responses directed at the original article's list of "misconceptions":
- Size does matter, actually – Possessing a large group of 'fans' or 'followers' on Facebook provides an extremely valuable channel for distribution. Lieber states: "The more people signing up to view your message, the more likely you'll be able to effectively cultivate and monetize these relationships."
- Medium is the message – Both the medium and message are linked. Social media has given marketers a fantastic opportunity to distribute their message in a way that is unique. Brands that are performing the best integrate the two seamlessly, Lieber says.
- 'New' media – social media certainly is – Whilst traditional textbook principles still provide the foundations for brand marketing, both marketing and advertising are "yielding to this wild and crazy 'new media'." Social media marketers who show marketing basics within this so-called 'new media' are those that display the best results, according to Lieber.
