Nurses and midwives on the frontline in Nepal
For millions of Nepali women, the only professional care they receive throughout their pregnancies is from nurses and midwives, not doctors. Nurses and midwives support women from the beginning of pregnancy to the months after birth: they are the frontline of the Nepali maternity system.
Kamala Junari is an auxiliary nurse midwife in a small village in Nawalparasi, a low-lying district in the Terai plains of central-southern Nepal, close to the border with India.
Auxiliary nurse midwives perform a vital role in Nepali communities. They link people to health services from local, grassroots services. Kamala is based at a clinic run by the Family Planning Association of Nepal, the country's leading NGO for family planning services. Her work involves antenatal and postnatal checkups, general health checkups, family planning support and the distribution of contraception.
"Nurses in this area have so many responsibilities," she says. "They have to take care of pregnant women right from the beginning of their pregnancy to post-delivery. They are the most important people to advise people on safe motherhood."
Women here know very little about how to stay healthy during pregnancy. The FPAN team advise them on nutrition and on how to stay safe and well, including cutting down on work and reducing travel during the first trimester. "We advise pregnant women not to do heavy work, to have antenatal checkups regularly, to have nutritious food alongside iron pills," Kamala says. "And we advise them to go to the nearby hospital or birthing centre for birth."
Unfortunately, in an impoverished and patriarchal country like Nepal, some of this advice is beyond the reach of many people: women are often unable to stop work or cut down on chores. But their chances of staying healthy are much higher if they at least know what to do.
The FPAN team also advise women and their husbands on different forms of contraception. "We recommend having proper birthing space between children," she says. "And we can recommend short acting methods like condoms, injectables and pills from a full method mix."
Despite their passion and commitment, the FPAN team here are still constrained by a lack of facilities. "We can't provide laboratory service, for blood testing, for example; or tetanus and diphtheria vaccines," Kamala says. "It would be good if these services could be started as soon as possible."
She also says that all staff, not just the auxiliary midwives nurses, would benefit from more advanced training. "At the moment, the other staff only have basic training. There needs to be regular training for all staff."
Overall, though, the clinic's progress has been remarkable, given the limited resources. And, as well as delivering regular services to women and families, the clinic is now self-sufficient, with funding from a range of livelihood projects in the area.

A man from Ohio is facing federal charges after he took to social media to threaten Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Just ahead of the weekend, 41-year-old Timothy Ireland was arrested at his residence in Toledo and was later charged in a U.S. District Court for claiming the Democrat congresswoman "should be shot," ABC News reports.
"Can't fire me, my employer would load the gun for me," Ireland reportedly said in the July 23 post, alongside the threat.

— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) August 12, 2019
ABC News reports a court affidavit said Capitol Police questioned Ireland about the post where he reportedly bragged about its contents. Ireland was subsequently charged with "one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, one count of being a fugitive in possession of a firearm and one count of making interstate threats."
U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman said threats of this kind should not be tolerated in society, especially threatening messages towards those that serve in a government office.
"There is absolutely no place in the marketplace of ideas for threats of violence against any person, especially those who are elected to represent the American people," said Herdman, who represents the Northern District of Ohio. "Disagreement on political issues cannot lead to acts of violence, and if it does, we will seek federal prison time."

ABC News adds:
Agents found seven rounds of ammunition in Ireland's home, officials said.
It was not immediately clear if Ireland had legal representation.
A spokeswoman for Ocasio-Cortez declined comment.
Last month, Ocasio-Cortez was also threatened with being shot after a Louisiana police officer called her a "vile idiot" who "needs a round." The officer, Charles Rispoli, was fired four days later.
Timothy Ireland, Jr. is escorted out of U.S. District Court in Toledo. Ireland was charged for making threats against U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and illegally having ammunition. The story by @lizskalka @toledonews

Everything advanced.
From there we visited 8mm celluloid reels, and home xxx projections, for selected audiences – to enjoy movie theater like experience at personal privacy of your house with partner, spouse or good friends.
10 years after we got into the VHS and BETA period, and home VCRs are more and more an absolute must have thing. The mass creation of video performing and recording devices made them affordable, so the selections of porn tapes piled up, and most important it gave totally new aspect to home porn creation – amateur videos bloomed !
And we think it's great!
That was then. As the story proceeds just with new technology appeared – the Dvd videos. Better, faster, laser technology dominated the same home archives sheleves once filled by vhs tapes.
Internet porn was there, but the rates of speed of dial up and isdn connection were not "wide" enough for video content, and also to mention also very expensive!
And there is a growth of super fast broadband cable connections, revolutionizing all we knew about the online porn and the adult entertainment idea overall!
DVDs were slowly ignored – online porn channels gained recognition and we could easily download the complete DVD without the need to visit rental place.

As houseplants enjoy another wave of intense popularity, horticulturists are getting a lot more questions about pet-safe plants. Just a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine messaged me asking how to ID cat-safe houseplants after her furry baby chewed on a plant and spent a few days at the emergency vet. While pets and plants can happily co-exist, there are risks associated with many plants that we keep both indoors and out. Most home hobby plant keepers and gardeners have no idea how many commonly kept plants are toxic to their pets.
Pets and plants usually go hand-in-hand in our business. People who love plants usually also love pets. Even so, when I'm asked for resources on how to prevent plant related pet poisonings, I don't usually direct them to any specific garden center website, but rather the ASPCA's poisonous plants list (aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants).
Each year, the organization publishes it's "Top 10 Toxins" for pets. Plants and garden products consistently occupy the 9th and tenth spots on the list, respectively, year after year. Most garden centers that do reference plant toxicity or pet-safe plants on their websites usually redirect visitors to the ASPCA site.
Common knowledge
Unfortunately, many of the popular houseplants happen to be some of the more toxic species for common pets. Philodendron, ZZ plants, ficus, pilea, African violet and aloe are easy plants for beginners, but toxic to dogs and cats. Many common garden plants, including most culinary herbs, are also toxic to our household critters. Because there are a few important exceptions such as basil and catmint, which are safe for your kitties to munch on, many gardeners wrongly assume other garden herbs are safe as well.
Often, it's only after someone has had to race to the emergency vet, or worse, lost a beloved pet, before they discover specific plants in their home or garden are toxic. While linking to or directing your customers to the ASPCA is fine, it seems to me you're giving away a lot of agency — and customer traffic — by doing so. Independent garden centers should be the experts and take the extra steps to help their customers safely cohabitate their pets and plants.
Staff education
How familiar is your garden sales staff with pet-safe plant choices? If you haven't yet done in-house training, now's the time. Given the large number of house and garden plants that are toxic, a faster training solution is to single out pet-safe plants in your inventory and make sure all of your customer-facing staff has a list of at least 10 pet-friendly options they can suggest to customers off-hand.
If you invite your customers to bring their pets in to shop, make the effort to label pet-friendly plants, as well as key plants that are highly toxic to dogs and cats.
Clear signage with specific warnings — or an icon system — will help your customers feel more confident about their plant choices. Your pet-owning customers will love you for it.
If you're moving more houseplants these days, which I suspect you are, consider curating a pet-safe houseplants collection section. Just imagine how much easier shopping will be for those customers and how much their average sale might increase because you've made great choices easy for them.
Keep the traffic
Why redirect your customers to someone else's website for pet-friendly plant info when they started at your website? Consider creating a special section on your website, or at minimum, a downloadable handout with your top pet-friendly plant picks. You might also do the same for pet-toxic plants. Keep some hard copies of these lists in the garden center so customers and staff can refer to them in person while shopping.
Get paws-on
Host a pet-friendly plants workshop and invite customers to bring their pups along. Many less experienced and new plant keepers are very uncertain about their plant ID skills. Doing some hands-on plant show and tells for both toxic and safe plants will put these customers at ease. Create a "tasting buffet" of healthy pet-safe herb plants their pets can sample. You might just attract an entirely new group of customers, especially new indoor gardeners.
When it comes to our pets, there is nothing worse than realizing we could have easily prevented their sickness, or even loss, if we'd only known a little more about the plants we keep. Partner up with your pet-loving customers to make sure your plants and their pets live happily ever after.

Buenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second-largest metropolitan area in South America, after Greater São Paulo.
1. Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur
This beautiful marshy nature reserve is surprisingly close to downtown Buenos Aires, and on sunny weekends hundreds of picnickers, cyclists and joggers come for fresh air and views of the city skyline. Keep your eyes peeled for river turtles, iguanas, nutria (river rats) and bird species that migrate here.
2. Cementerio de la Recoleta
You could wander for hours in this 14-acre necropolis, where countless lanes are lined with impressive statues and marble sarcophagi. Peek into crypts stacked with dusty coffins cradling the remains of BA's elite, including presidents, military heroes and politicians, alongside the grave of Evita herself.
3. Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
The grand, Neoclassical national art museum makes for an ideal escape if rain showers hit town. Stop by for inspiration from European impressionists such as Cézanne, Degas and Van Gogh, while also getting to know Argentina's own masters – Benito Quinquela Martín, Xul Solar and Eduardo Sívori.
4. Feria de San Telmo
Every Sunday, the picturesque neighbourhood of San Telmo puts on a street fair. Hundreds of vendors hawk souvenirs, knick-knacks and edible treats like choripán (sausage sandwiches), empanadas (savoury turnovers) and fresh orange juice, but the best attractions are the boisterous street performers.
5. Casa Rosada
Buenos Aires' pink palace, on the east side of the Plaza de Mayo, is home to current president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's offices, but visitors are welcome on weekends, when free tours are available. Check out the balconies from where Evita crooned to her adoring masses – as did Madonna.

Although, I did get my belly pierced some time back and luckily it worked perfectly fine for me. Nonetheless, I am excited about getting my lips pierced this time and then try this incredible vibrating tongue ring, which I saw my friend wearing. I am 21 years old. I want to know if it is a suitable age to get tongue pierced, and a few designer lip piercing jewellery selection. Can somebody please help? Thanks.
Can anybody tell me some latest lip piercing jewellery?

Usually, if you lay on a social function then your staff are liable for tax as a benefit on their share of the costs. However, where an annual event takes place (such as Christmas parties) open to all staff, then an exemption can apply.
There is a limit to the exemption of £150 per annum per head and it is an exemption, not an allowance. If your Christmas party cost £155 per head, you might think that £150 would be exempt and £5 would be chargeable but no! The exemption won't apply at all and the entire £155 would be considered a taxable benefit.
If you had (say) a summer BBQ at £90 a head and a Christmas party at £100 a head, you could claim for one or the other. If your BBQ had only cost £50 a head, you could claim for both. This might not make sense but those are the rules and HMRC are strict in imposing them.
Surprisingly the taxman is generous in allowing staff to bring guests to Christmas parties. If 12 staff each bring a partner, then the cost is divided by 24 to calculate the 'per head' amount.
There are no fixed rules, but could each staff member bring along their spouse or partner and all their children? If you tried that to get a 'per head' amount, you might be asking for trouble!
As you might expect, the Taxman is none too generous here. Any cash Christmas bonus is taxable the same as ordinary pay. So would be a voucher redeemable in a store.
You can give your staff what the Taxman calls a 'trivial' gift at Christmas. HMRC give examples such as a bottle of wine or a turkey. But it can't be much more than that.
HMRC frowns upon you giving a case of wine or a whole hamper, suggesting these are not 'trivial'. Each case is looked at on its merits, so you may have to hope the taxman is in a good mood!
Suppose you still want to splash out and really treat your staff? Well, you can agree with the Taxman that you will pay the tax for your staff through a "PAYE Settlement Arrangement" ("PSA").
So even at Christmas, by careful tax planning you can avoid unpleasant surprises. If any of the above raises question, please get in touch with me, Andrew, at firstname.lastname@example.com or on 01962 832513.

Could Hurricane Joaquin be another Superstorm Sandy?
Hurricane Joaquin, a powerful Category 3 storm, could strengthen, forecasters say
Ed Payne and Jason Hanna | 10/1/2015, noon
(CNN) It's October. A powerful hurricane is brewing in the Bahamas. The whole system is threatening to head straight north to the United States.
You can't blame the people along the East Coast if they're having a Superstorm Sandy flashback when it comes to Hurricane Joaquin.
The powerful tropical system became a major hurricane overnight. And over the next day, the Category 3 storm is expected to only get stronger.
The good news: If current projections hold, Joaquin won't be another Sandy.
The not-so-good news: Hurricane projections are notoriously unpredictable. And regardless of whether Joaquin makes landfall, it probably will cause plenty of rain and more flooding along an already soaked East Coast.
Where it is now
For the next couple of days, Joaquin will be pounding the Bahamas, an archipelago nation with more than 350,000 people, before heading north.
Thursday morning, the storm already was whipping Bahamian territory with hurricane-force winds, with the eye about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the country's Samana Cays.
Its maximum sustained winds were at 120 mph, midrange for a Category 3. But forecasters say it could strengthen to a Category 4 -- with 140 mph winds capable of causing catastrophic damage -- by Thursday night.
The slow-moving storm is expected to batter the Bahamas through Friday. Ten to 20 inches of rain could fall over much of the central Bahamas through Friday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Rain isn't the only concern: Dangerous storm surges -- with water levels as high as 5 to 8 feet above normal tides -- are possible on the central Bahamian coasts.
Swells from Joaquin also will affect the southeastern U.S. coast by Thursday, potentially creating life-threatening rip currents, the hurricane center said.
Where it might make landfall in U.S.
Joaquin's forecast track shows it could be near North Carolina by Monday and possibly New Jersey a day later, hauntingly close to where Superstorm Sandy made landfall in 2012.
It was just three years ago this month that Sandy slammed the northeastern United States, devastating parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
But the projected path of the current storm system already has changed multiple times and could change again.
And should Joaquin make it back to the areas Sandy devastated before, it's not expected to pack the same punch.
How bad it's likely to be
When Sandy made landfall on October 29, 2012, it had hurricane-force winds. Joaquin is projected to be a tropical storm once it gets that far north.
The rain? Now that's a different story.
No matter where Joaquin goes, the storm is expected to bring significant rainfall to the East Coast, where some states already were dealing with flooding from separate systems this week.
"One way or the other, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and on up will get between 5 and 10 inches of rain -- even without a direct landfall," CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said. "If we get a landfall, we get 15 inches of rain and winds of 80 mph.

Conference Highlights
Thursday, October 31, 2013
7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Keynote Address
Persistence in Science by All Students:
Lessons from the Little Red Hen and Other Fairy Tales
David J. Asai, Senior Director, Undergraduate and Graduate Programs, Science Education, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Persistence of undergraduates in science fields is of critical importance to the future of our nation. More than just crossing the finish line, our work on persistence should be about adding value to the undergraduate experience, encouraging students to discover new ideas about themselves and science. Persistence in science by all students is poor. Persistence of students from underrepresented ethnic groups is abysmal. Even when factors that affect persistence are the same, minorities leave science at a significantly greater rate than do whites and Asians. Dr. Asai will discuss key ingredients to improving persistence in science by all students: 1) What we teach—providing authentic research
opportunities for all students early in college; and 2) How we teach—examining the way we think about student development. What are our expectations and how do we define excellence?
Friday, November 1, 2013
9:15 – 10:30 a.m.
Metacognition and Motivation: Advancing STEM Learning for All Students
Saundra Yancy McGuire, Assistant Vice Chancellor and Professor of Chemistry, Louisiana State University
Many learners today seem more focused on becoming credentialed, and less concerned with gaining a deep understanding of the concepts and principles taught in their courses. At the same time, faculty may find it challenging to provide engaging learning activities for students who present a wide range of interests and levels of college readiness. Enhancing undergraduate STEM learning, particularly for
underrepresented students in both STEM and non-STEM majors, begins with a clear understanding of how students learn and what motivates them to learn. Dr. McGuire will address how educators can instill a desire to think critically and teach metacognitive learning strategies that will advance STEM knowledge, skills, and careers for all students.
5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
Community Forum
Advancing Scientific Thinking and Integrative Reasoning Skills: The STIRS Project
Katherine Hunting, Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health, The George Washington University; and Kevin Hovland, Senior Director of Global Learning and Curricular Change, AAC&U
The STIRS project aims to make evidence-based reasoning a more explicit outcome of liberal education. STIRS rests on the belief that, to become engaged and productive citizens prepared to address the critical challenges of the twenty-first century, college graduates in all fields of study need to be able to use scientific reasoning to gather and evaluate evidence; understand how scientific and social science studies are designed and executed and recognize the implication of design choices; use statistical reasoning to evaluate data and use data to communicate effectively; and base decisions on analysis of evidence, logic, and ethics.
Forum participants will explore how they might create and use case studies to integrate evidence-based thinking across liberal education—focused by engagement with big questions, and anchored through active involvement with diverse communities and real-world challenges.
Saturday, November 2, 2013
9:15 – 10:15 a.m.
Institutional Change: An Evolving Revolution That Begins One Voice at a Time
Tuajuanda C. Jordan, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Professor of Chemistry, and Chief Diversity Officer, Lewis & Clark College
The science education landscape is gradually changing as educators redesign individual courses, pedagogies, curricula, and co-curricular activities to engage students in the process of doing science. But the full promise of these approaches remains unmet as the culture of most higher education institutions evolves more slowly than these individual advances. Drawing on experience as a student, faculty member, and administrator, Jordan will offer suggestions on how to empower those on the forefront of change to facilitate institution-wide transformation–beginning with one voice at a time.

A digital compensation scheme based on a perturbation theory for mitigation of cross-phase modulation (XPM) distortions is developed for dispersion-managed fiber-optic communication systems. It is a receiver-side scheme that uses a hard-decision unit to estimate data for the calculation of XPM fields using the perturbation technique. The intra-channel nonlinear distortions are removed by intra-channel digital backward propagation (DBP) based on split-step Fourier scheme before the hard-decision unit. The perturbation technique is shown to be effective in mitigating XPM distortions. However, wrong estimations in the hard-decision unit result in performance degradation. A hard-decision correction method is proposed to correct the wrong estimations. Numerical simulations show that the hybrid compensation scheme with DBP for dispersion and intra-channel nonlinear impairments compensation and the perturbation technique for XPM compensation brings up to 3.7 dBQ and 1.7 dBQ improvements as compared with the schemes of linear compensation only and intra-channel DBP, respectively. The perturbation technique for XPM compensation requires only one-stage (or two-stage when hard-decision correction is applied) compensation and symbol-rate signal processing.

Images for the First Week of October
As tired as I am, being JoJo's taxi driver to all his soccer games and practices, I also love the fact that I am able to spend more time outside, and welcome new discoveries.
One of the fields we went to had this beautiful large circle drive full of different flowers. After we parked the car, I rushed over to take a few pictures since the soccer field was way in the back of the park.
Beautiful Baby Pink
The rain stopped half an hour before the game began, and I saw this beautiful delicate looking flower full of water droplets on it. This color is so soft on a cloudy day.
Stood Out
Among black-eye Susan, roses, and petunias, this flower holds its head high, and attracts many admirers that walking by. The ooh and aah for its beauty excited me as well.
Late Bloomers
The weather is getting colder here in Michigan, and this was the last bloom for the year as we all know it. I was very happy to have a few pictures of this beautiful baby pink flower.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Media Studies offers students the chance to investigate the media and its place in the modern world. It combines academic rigour and creativity.
Students will be asked to view the media through a theoretical framework. They will need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the contexts of media and the influence of them on media products and processes. For example students would be asked to consider the role of changing ideas about representations and identity in society and the impact that has on the media. Students will also need to analyse media texts including websites, TV and social media. They will analyse and compare how media products construct and communicate meanings through the interaction of media language and audience response. Furthermore students will be required to debate key questions relating to the social, cultural, political and economic role of the media through discursive writing. The course will also require students to create media products for a specific audience.
The course offers students the opportunity to learn how to use media technology and then to utilise these skills when they create their own media products.

The HPI-Stanford Design Thinking Research Program strives to apply rigorous academic methods to understand how and why Design Thinking innovation works and fails.
The Design Thinking Community are current participants and alumni of the program. At regular workshops project teams present findings of their ongoing research.
Multidisciplinary research teams from Stanford University and HPI work on diverse topics concerned with Design Thinking, its process, method, interaction patterns and tools in order to investigate the phenomena of innovation.
All research findings are published in the volume "Understanding Innovation" as well as in various papers and articles.
PI: Professor Dr. Christoph Meinel
While people get ill everywhere, medical expertise is often concentrated around urban regions. At cities many doctors reside; there are specialists for all kinds of health problems. Moreover, due to the sheer number of specialists, doctors who speak particular non-native languages can usually be found in cities if required. By contrast, in many rural areas medical expertise is often missing: There are few doctors, who by implication cannot offer the same breadth and depth of specialization, or the same plurality of language skills. A likely solution could be to offer remote care, e.g., connecting a French speaking patient with lung cancer at village A via the internet with a French speaking specialist on lung cancer at city B. The legal situation is presently changing (in Germany) as new laws have been passed in favour of telemedicine. Conventional remote care approaches include phone calls, internet chats and video conferencing. Tele-Board MED is well suited to offer remote care solutions with much greater task-specific effectiveness, as patient and doctor can not only hear and see each other, but can also synchronously work with treatment documents over distance. We propose a comparative study, where user experiences and effects of different remote care approaches are compared, looking at treatments over distance via (1) online chat, (2) phone calls, (3) video conferencing and (4) Tele-Board MED. In addition, the usage of Tele-Board MED in remote care shall also serve as a case study to further elucidate innovation-adoption processes.

|Source: RCP Video-Piers Morgan-
Ann Coulter actually make a good point about the mentally ill in America and their access to guns. Which is why we need to fully fund mental health care in America both in and out of institutions. And no longer release mental patients because of costs because now we are putting the resources in to fund mental health care in this country. And there are a variety of ways that we can do this. Requiring health insurers both private and public to cover mental health care would be one of them. And there will be a future post on this blog about how exactly could we fund mental health care in this country.
The mental health care may the only issue I agree with Ann Coulter on. And since I have so much disrespect for her and basically see here a hate-monger for the far-right, I may have to rethink my position on this. But where Ann goes back to Crazyland and visits her good friend Michelle Bachmann is that she's not willing to do anything that would actually keep the mentally disabled for whatever reasons from getting access to firearms in the United States.
There are big government policies to cutting gun violence. Basically trying to repeal the 2nd Amendment that democratic socialist talk show how and writer Thom Hartmann suggested a few weeks ago. Or make it so weak that it is basically worth nothing. There are no government policies on this issue which is to do nothing. And there are limited government solutions to this problem which is to prevent criminals and the mentally disabled from getting firearms. While responsible adults would still be able to get firearms as long as they are responsible with them.
What we need is a twenty-four hour background check on anyone inside of the United States purchasing a firearm. And that check would be to make sure that no one with a violent felony criminal record, someone convicted of a violent crime or violent crimes could get access to firearms. Or the mentally ill someone with a record of metal illness could get access to firearms. As well as seeing that no one who still needs to be in a mental institution is able to leave until they are ready to.

Mahari, Marliya (2006) The application development of "Directory Connoisseur" / Marliya Mahari. Student Project. Faculty of Information Technology and Quantitative Sciences, Shah Alam. (Unpublished)
This research project proposed the service application called "Directory Connoisseur'. Currently in Malaysia, fixed line phone directory are still in forms of manual books and online directories. This means users have to do manual search and this might take some times to find the appropriate address and contact numbers preferred. With the application being proposed, the manual process of directory search could be eliminates. Thus, it could saves time and provide better and faster directory search. The application developed in this thesis involves the use of SMS (Short Message Service). The SMS is the intermediate between requestor or user and the directory. Requestor will request for the preferred directory using SMS. SMS provide users with two-way communication by enabling users to request for the preferred directory in a specified format. The request then will get a response from the system. The preferred information will be send back to the requestor through SMS reply. With the use of this application, the user will have the convenience to apply it anytime and anywhere as long as the user had a mobile phone.

J-CAT (the Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce) was launched today, 1 September, to gather national police intelligence, then drive global action against the key cyber criminals and threats it identifies - from underground forums and malware coding, to banking Trojans, botnets, crime-as-a-service, online fraud and other top-end cyber crimes.
Based in The Hague, J-CAT is described as the first ever permanent cyber crime taskforce – though it has an initial six months to prove its worth – and is headed by Archibald, deputy director of the UK NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit.
He will have a team of up to 18 cyber experts drawn from the countries involved in J-CAT – currently the UK and US, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria and Canada.
Australia and Colombia have also committed to the initiative.
Archibald issued a statement saying: "There are many challenges faced by law enforcement agencies with regards to cyber criminals and cyber attacks. This is why there needs to be a truly holistic and collaborative approach taken when tackling them.
"The J-CAT will, for the first time, bring together a coalition of countries across Europe and beyond to co-ordinate the operational response to the common current and emerging global cyber threats faced by J-CAT members."
Troels Oerting, head of the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), stressed the role of private-sector security firms and government agencies in sourcing the crime intelligence J-CAT will need.
"The goal is to prevent cyber crime, to disrupt it, catch crooks and seize their illegal profits," he said. "That goal cannot be reached by law enforcement alone, but will require a consolidated effort from many stakeholders in our global village. But the J-CAT will do its part of the necessary 'heavy-lifting'. I am confident we will see practical tangible results very soon."
The importance of police and private firms joining forces on crime intelligence was also picked up by cyber crime expert Charlie McMurdie, former head of the Met Police e-Crime Unit and now a senior crime adviser with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Analysing J-CAT's launch, she told SCMagzineUK.com: "This new unit is a physical hub, bringing together European and wider partners, which I think is probably long overdue and much needed, and should deliver some real significant benefits.
"Bringing existing resources together is a benefit, but the greater benefit is that unit bringing in the wider capability within industry.
"Most of the intelligence and most of the infrastructure and most of the capability around these types of cases exists within industry - and you need to capitalise on that benefit. Private sector firms need to play a much greater part, and law enforcement needs to be open and actively progressing that engagement."
McMurdie acknowledged the UK's leading role in the taskforce but said that was not the whole story: "I think it's great that the UK has a seat at the table and is leading that capability, but the benefit of that sort of unit is bringing together trusted partners and joining everything up, no matter who leads it.
"Whereas we had a virtual taskforce in the UK this is a physical taskforce with all the various partners together."
She also welcomed the global dimension of J-CAT. "Everything needs to have that global connectivity now. Ultimately when you take on these high-level cyber investigations there's bound to be some sort of international nexus to them – whether it's money flow, IP infrastructure, suspects or victims."
David Emm, senior security researcher at Kaspersky Lab, also welcomed the launch of J-CAT as another step in the trend for law enforcement to become more international – following Interpol's Global Complex for Innovation (IGCI) and the launch of EC3 in January 2013.
He told SCMagazineUK.com via email: "The internet allows cyber criminals to operate across geo-political borders – they don't need to be resident in the same country as their victims. They can launch an attack from one country, using servers spread across other countries and using anonymous internet-based financial services to launder the money they steal.
"Law enforcement agencies, by contrast, have to work within specific geo-political boundaries. This is why international co-operation is so important. In recent years we have seen several initiatives to help overcome these limitations. This new initiative is clearly a further step in this direction."
Europol said: "Police forces across the world face similar crimes and criminal targets. For that reason, more than with any other type of crime, it is crucial to share intelligence and align priorities."

Accueil du site Projets de développement Projets de recherche pour le Développement Projets de Fondations (Ecologie) Filling the gap of knowledge for a science-based assessment of the conservation status for an iconic species (i.e. Welwitschia mirabilis
Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund
Titre : Welwitschia (Welwitschia mirabilis) Namibia
Pays : Namibie
Date attribution : 09-04-2019
Numéro projet : 182519816
Bénéficiaire : Pierluigi Bombi
Welwitschia mirabilis is recognized as a symbol of the Namib Desert ecosystems, where it also plays a crucial ecological role. Despite considerable attention to the plant, the conservation status of W. mirabilis is largely unknown. Available data indicates highly variable population densities across the species range, with uncommon to rare individuals in the Kunene subrange. A substantial reduction of climatic suitability in northern Namibia by 2050 was predicted as a consequence of climate change and increasing threats from black Aspergillus fungi, ecotourism, domestic livestock, and mining were evidenced.
Main aim of this project is laying the basis for the development of a long-term management plan for this species. To do this, we will address the lack of data in the Kunene subrange, collecting relevant information to fulfill the following secondary objectives : 1. Define the area of occupancy of the species in this remote region. Detailed data on species distribution will allow identifying priority areas for conservation and planning management activities. 2. Clarify demographic trends of the populations. Basic information related to population size, recruitment, mortality rate, and fungal infection will be collected for defining population structure and recent dynamics. 3. Quantify local threats to populations. Effects of intensive browsing on individual plants were reported and mining activities become a larger problem in the last years. Threats to the species are evolving but their effects have not been adequately defined. 4. Assess the current conservation status in the area. An objective assessment of the level of threat inspired to the IUCN criteria will be performed using field-based information. 5. Identify possible effects of climate change. Possible effects of climate change on the species will be detected by analyzing the geographic pattern of response, representing an early warning system for the Namib ecosystems.

"I posted this and someone wrote me – I don't think anyone wanted to see this.My response – Art isn't always about whats aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes you need to show people reality. This is real shit.
This is what life is after partying and being a wild thin teen and reading bullshit books about werewolves. It isn't clear skin and skinny bodies and free time forever. Its stretch marks, wrinkles, shitty baby diapers and laying in weird ass positions to keep your children happy because you love them more than your comfort or your smooth pert body.
It's being overweight and having sex, wrinkly fat sweaty real shit adult parent long term relationship sex and then trying to slip in half an hour of sleep before your kid flips shit at 1am. And its poetic and awesome. Fuck your skinny smooth boring ass ideal of what life should be that you ripped out of some dumb ass teen cosmo. My life is goddamn beautiful even if my belly is a wreck.

Love Forward: Ep 14
Drama ReviewsTaiwanese Dramas
Although Love Forward is still moving slowly, this episode especially had a lot of scenes that had me flailing TO NO END. I'm pretty sure it's concrete that Ai Xing & Tian Ze are gonna be together after this episode. There's no way it's not gonna happen after all the hints they dropped.
Tian Ze goes back to his usual weepy child-like mode. It's so cute when Ai Xing puts her hands on her knees and leans down to talk to him like a kid. Since he wants to be carefree like Zhi Xing, Ai Xing decides to pretend he's Zhi Xing to cheer him up. Then she PATS HIS BACK and he LEANS HIS HEAD ON HER SHOULDER while she talks to him as though she's his older sister. AHHHHHHHHHHHH. And to make it BETTER? Jing Jing just so happens to walk in on them and see how dependent Tian Ze is on Ai Xing.
"Because all I care about is your future."
Since Ren Wei is a control freak, he thinks that marriage includes monitoring every aspect of Jing Jing's life. This is the part where I was all, NO, REN WEI, NO. BUT..BUT…….
JJ: "I would never love you."
RW: "I don't need love."
"I can get you out of this cage. You want to breathe, I can let you breathe. You want freedom, I can give you freedom."
^THAT is what Jing Jing needed to hear, not "tell me where you're going and what you're doing all the time". If Ren Wei had left out the part about being in control, I think it would've actually been a pretty decent proposal. The look in Jing Jing's eyes when he said that..AHHHHH. And then Ren Wei puts his hand to her cheek…AHHHHHHH.
Ren Wei leaves Jing Jing in a huge dilemma because she must decide whether or not to marry for money. The huge problem with this is that Jing Jing still doesn't know (and perhaps Ren Wei isn't completely aware of it either, like Ling Li says..) that Ren Wei loves her. Her misconception is that this marriage is meant to make her suffer. Ren Wei's view is that he's simply giving her a chance to pick herself back up and rebuild her life.
Every. single. episode. There have been Ai Xing x Tian Ze scenes all over the place. BUT…THESE ONES…I seriously felt like these scenes were purposely planted here to point Ai Xing & Tian Ze towards a relationship. ALL THE HINTS ARE THERE. EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE. If only the drama would JUST HURRY UP AND LET THEM GET TOGETHER. While Jing Jing x Ren Wei are quickly becoming a new reason to watch Love Forward, Ai Xing x Tian Ze is clearly my main motivation. Please stop trolling us and just let it happen already.
Ai Xing & Tian Ze bicker while Jing Jing observes them. Jing Jing comments that they seem just like a couple when they fight, and that other people must've told them the same thing. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID THIS, JING JING. Considering how many people have told Ai Xing & Tian Ze this, you would think the two of them would brush it off really quickly like usual. However after Jing Jing says this, there's the MOST AWKWARD PAUSE EVER. They try to quickly recover and deny it, but clearly their response is not the same as usual. PLEASE. LET THIS BE A SIGN.
And Jing Jing's comment is so true, they are just like an old couple. Your 'first love' and the first stages of a relationship may seem like they'll last for ever, but in reality, they're not. The person who you understand and can comfortably be with forever is the person you love. *hint* AI XING & TIAN ZE *hint*
"The thing I'm curious about is why you're the one with Du Tian Ze, instead of Zeng Ai Xing? Zeng Ai Xing is the one who's been with Du Tian Ze all along."
THANK YOUUUUU. *instantly converts into a Ren Wei fan* REN WEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW YOU WOULD PULL THROUGH!!!!!!!! Ren Wei bluntly asks OUT LOUD the question we've all been wanting to ask. In front of the whole group. I'm so proud of Ren Wei now.
After Jing Jing & Ren Wei leave, Tian Ze tries to put on a stern face but fails. He instructs Ai Xing..
"If he asks you this question again, I don't want you to answer him seriously."
WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?? (Seriously, does someone know what Tian Ze is trying to say here? :/)
AND REN WEI JUST PROVES HIMSELF EVEN MORE. He tells Jing Jing that he just asked the question he knows is on her mind. Ouch. It's true. There have been a few scenes where we see Jing Jing's insecurity over how close Tian Ze & Ai Xing are. All Ren Wei is doing is voicing her doubts.
"It's been so long, can't you tell?…They actually like each other, but because of you, they're not together."
REN WEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUUUUUUU! He reasons that there must be a reason other than money problems for Tian Ze to live with Ai Xing. It's not like he HAD to live with Ai Xing, there's so many other options, and yet he's still living with her. And as if Ren Wei could redeem himself any more for me, he says that Ai Xing & Tian Ze don't understand their own feelings for each other, but Jing Jing understands it all.
"You're only lying to yourself if you don't understand this."
^bottom right pic: favorite pic of Jing Jing this episode. Not her usual expression…somehow this one is much darker.
Jing Jing is not someone like Ai Xing, whose confidence is clearly apparent. She still has a strong will, dignity, and a more quiet sort of strength. I feel like she's come a long way. Even though I feel like she's still stuck in a rut, Jing Jing is by no means a weak character. It's a wonder that she hasn't completely crumbled yet considering we've been going at this for 5 whole episodes. It feels draggy but in fact Jing Jing has changed a lot.
Two Jing Jing scenes stuck out to me: Firstly when she tells Ren Wei, if he has no intention to pay back their debts, she's not gonna let him mess around with her family any longer. I love it when she puts her game face on and owns Ren Wei.
"I don't want to waste time playing with you."
Secondly when she & her mom go to visit an old family friend, who may be their last hope. Jing Jing overhears him talking to someone on the phone, saying that there's no way he'd help them. She doesn't try to make a big deal about it, she doesn't even blink an eyelash..she just smoothly covers it up and leaves. Jing Jing's pride was hurt but she handled it in a mature way. Go Jing Jing.
For some reason I feel like this episode had much nicer shots of Ai Xing. Finally they do her justice by changing her hairstyle a bit to give her sorta-side bangs. They look so much better now. I know, it's like blasphemy that I didn't put Ai Xing x Tian Ze as the featured image for this post…I figured I would finally pay tribute to my favorite character you know. 😉
AI XING, AI XING. She's so good to everyone. She's so hardworking and earnest. And of course she hasn't lost that spunk…she gives Ren Wei an attitude because she's mad at him. Ahahaha. I just love Ai Xing. Her heart is gold. I don't even know what to say about her anymore.
And lastly, I love Ling Li & Ai Xing's friendship. They are such unlikely friends and yet they're so much fun together. The scenes with Ling Li were so heartwarming. :'(
And of course, her insight is always spot on!
"Actually Ren Wei's heart is really lonely."
Ren Wei x Jing Jing, what a pair. They have great chemistry together. Story-wise I think it would be a wise move to have Jing Jing marry Ren Wei, just for the irony of it all. However I'm not sure if they would dare to go through with it. Of course I don't want Jing Jing in an unhappy marriage..I want Jing Jing & Ren Wei to truly fall in love with each other and get past their problems.
I feel like Ren Wei & Ling Li's dialogue is being used as a sort of narrative tool for the story. Their lines are in no way subtle, but since Love Forward isn't exactly all the best at story telling, I guess it's the only way. Love Forward has obviously done a great job at showing us Tian Ze & Ai Xing's bond, but this episode basically spelled it out in huge neon letters for us. Not that I don't appreciate it (I completely ate it up, I was grinning the whole time during these scenes) but I think it could've been done better.
As always, I'm hoping that Ai Xing & Tian Ze will get together. I feel like this episode confirmed it, so now I feel like I have even higher hopes for this OTP. Maybe it's just my shippy self, but there were way too many hints for it not to happen. Everyone, FIGHTING!!

Asian Chicken Salad Recipe
Asian Chicken Salad Recipe
The weather is finally turning and I'm ready for fresh and crunchy salads! I whipped up this
After marinating the chicken in teriyaki sauce overnight you just have to bake it for 30 minutes in a baking dish. What's great is, the time the chicken takes to bake is plenty of time to chop the veggies, portion it out and make the peanut sauce. Then let the chicken cool, chop and top each salad with the chicken. Then sprinkle the top of each salad with some chopped peanuts and sliced green onion. Yum!
What is your favorite easy spring salad?

Let's say you implemented an IDM solution about a year ago. Everything hummed along just fine for a while, but now momentum has slowed and you're experiencing a stall. Here's how to prevent that stall by doing the right things from the very beginning.
Tip #1: Automate to Foster End-User Participation
Perhaps more than any other enterprise security domain, identity management and governance processes require active and meaningful participation from end users, which can be difficult to foster when processes are manual and/or ad hoc. Consistent, automated processes provide users with a better experience, deliver high satisfaction and increase efficiency. What's more, the interface needs to be hospitable to the business user, not just the IT-savvy user. In fact, a recent Aberdeen report indicates that a focus on the user experience can increase user productivity by 60 percent and user satisfaction by 80 percent.
Tip #2: Drive Adoption
In driving adoption, training is a must-have—especially the combination of formal education and informal knowledge transfer.
CA Education has a lot of excellent courses for IDM that are excellent for implementers and administrators. In my experience, clients who take advantage of these courses are invariably better prepared for governance when we leave.
Also essential is to leverage ongoing technical knowledge transfer from our technical people—the consultants—to your team's technical people. We work with your team to show them the ins and outs of the solution, including configurations, log reading, daily backups and recovery, to name just a few. We work hand in hand with the client to be certain the client team is ready to take over governance of the solution. Alternatively, we can provide short- or long-term application management services.
Then there's the all-important documentation. I'm not talking about reams of paperwork, but we make sure we leave behind enough material so that a year after implementation, when the client wants to expand the project, they have what they need to move quickly. Plus, they don't have to review everything and figure out what the previous team had in mind.
CA Communities are a great forum for customers, CA colleagues and partners to share experiences, knowledge, and information about new offerings.
Tip #3: Keep Current on Releases
Software is dynamic and undergoes continuous improvement. CA Identity Management is a great example of how feedback we receive from our clients results in new capabilities. Approximately every six months, CA releases a new service pack with new capabilities and code modifications. Because upgrades are inevitable, it's just logical—and essential—to plan ahead. By doing so, you get both new capabilities and program modifications. Most clients plan upgrades in 18-month cycles. Look for a future blog to deep dive into the planning process.
Tip #4: Minimize Customization
This is so crucial to preventing stall that it has its own post. If you haven't read it already, take a look.
I welcome your input on what works for you in avoiding the dreaded stall. Please feel free to leave your comments.

Here's what I got done at the last art fair.
I usually prefer to finish one critter at a time before moving onto the next. But for demonstrating I figured watching a horse face materialize would be more interesting than a shadowy neck. So I got a couple of floating heads.
So today I worked on adding the shadowy necks and anchoring my horses. This took longer than I expected since I put in far more detail than I originally thought I would. I always feel better once my subjects anchored.
Once again since the distance photos appear so dark so I included a detail shot.
The muzzle areas are still unfinished. Also I think I'm planning on covering the right horse's left eye with forelock. I put in the eye to help me visualize but it will most likely get covered. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to finish up the necks and begin face number three.
