Latest iOS App Security Best Practices
06 Feb. 2019 Mobile App
iOS from Apple is one of the most secure platforms. Also, the applications created using this platform are not as vulnerable as those built on other competing mobile platforms. Even then, businesses cannot put code, logic, data, and its communication open for any possible malware activity.
Through this article, we wish to present some of the app security best practices that can be actioned upon while developing innovative iOS applications.
iOS Application Security Best Practices
- User Data Storage
iOS devices protect data at rest by relying on AES encryption with 256-bit keys linked to the unique gadget's identifier. It prevents copying, modifying or decrypting the file system and storage components by associating the data with each terminal. Setting a password for the device using Keychain enables this protection for all stored files. It is in addition to application-specific protection mechanisms. The suggested iOS app security best practices also help encrypt moving or in-transit data. Even, the IT department can take advantage of features such as enabling a VPN connection on demand, or a continuous basis to prevent business data from being unprotected.
- Protect The Code
The Objective-C architecture makes segmentations in iOS rather simple. Tools like Clutch or class-dump make it easy for hackers to analyze any application. They can even look into your code and modify it. Code obfuscation for an added security layer is, thus, vital for iOS application security.
- Avoid And Detect The Jailbreak
iOS devices allow digitally signed applications with a validated certificate, such as those provided by Apple to developers. Jailbreak-ed terminals can bypass this protection mechanism – as well as others. It paves the way for the execution of unauthorized and potentially malicious applications and, hence, the compromise of sensitive internal data. You can reduce this risk by defining a rule that prohibits this process on managed devices. It must use an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) tool that detects jailbroken devices and quarantines them.
- Control The Transfer To Third-Party Applications
If iOS applications are isolated from each other, in sandboxes, they can exchange data via system APIs. It means that unprotected business data may be at risk: for example, an enterprise application allowing the access of files with a third-party application. EMM tools enable configuring the rules for data exchange with third-party applications, thus protecting data flows between managed applications. Further, developers might decide to control the use of certain features of the terminal or devices. In short, it is not about protecting data at rest, but also about where data can migrate and how to block it.
- Test and Updation
Conducting a security audit for any app with the help of a checklist from iOS app security best practices is crucial before its release. The regular update ensures the inclusion of new security layers for future versions.
Security is one of the key differentiators for the success of any iOS mobile app. It is necessary that you abide by the iOS application security practices while developing the mobile applications. And, further, identify vulnerabilities specific to emerging industry standards. As an iOS app development company, Rishabh Software can help you develop robust, security compliant mobile applications that offer a high level of performance.

Transition to paid support
We're a small software shop. Our software is web-based and hosted by us.
We didn't really think about our policy until FogBUGZ 3.0 came out... the policy we have now is an attempt to do what people expect, what other software companies do, and what's fair, but we've had to fine tune it over the years.

Why don't you add a Skype UserName for International customers?

You don't know how much I empathize with your situation. I used to work for a company that wrote libraries and tools for developers using Borland Delphi. As part of the business model, we provided free technical support (and the customers had the same behaviors you're seeing). In the end, engineers were spending around 50% of their time just doing technical support. Despite well-intentioned discussion, we never made the jump to paid technical support. We went out of business early last year. So my advice is to figure out a good plan by looking at what other companies in your field offer and then decide what would be best for you and your customers. Then implement the plan. Let your customers complain and let some of them leave. But in the end you'll be glad you did it and you'll feel like you're being paid adequately for what you provide to your customers.
Sean Winstead
Don't forget that many people are used to paying for support, especially in the form of a 18-22% annual maintenance agreement that includes free upgrades. Larger companies will buy these automatically. And we kick in 90 days of free support so that we can be certain that you have a chance to get the software up and running at your site with all the help you need at no extra cost.

As well, people will often bother support staff with trivial RTFM questions if they get free support.

On May 21, 2018, the IRS Large Business & International Division ("LB&I") announced its fourth set of compliance campaigns. The six new campaigns include one campaign centered on Forms 3520 and 3520-A compliance. A Form 3520, Annual Return To Report Transactions With Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, must be filed to report certain transactions regarding foreign trusts under section 6048 of the Internal Revenue Code, including:
- Creation of a foreign trust by a U.S. person
- Any transfer of money or property to a foreign trust, including by reason of death
- Ownership of foreign trusts, including death of the U.S. owner of a foreign trust
- Loans and distributions from foreign trusts
- Gifts or bequests from foreign individuals or estates
- Gifts from foreign corporations or partnerships
A Form 3520-A, Annual Information Return of Foreign Trust With a U.S. Owner, must be filed annually by a foreign trust with a U.S. owner.
The other five new compliance campaigns focus on (1) withholding, depositing, and reporting requirements of withholding agents under Forms 1042 and 1042-S; (2) compliance with tax treaties providing for exemptions from U.S. income; (3) itemized deductions claimed on Form 1040-NR, the U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return; (4) tax credits claimed on Form 1040-NR; and (5) the capitalization of interest associated when the construction of real and certain personal property. As in prior campaigns, in addition to conducting audits, education of taxpayers and practitioners will be an important aspect of most of these campaigns.

Patients With Low-Risk Colon Cancer Can Have Less Chemotherapy, Reducing Neuropathy
According to findings presented at ASCO 2017, patients with low-risk advanced colon cancer would benefit from reducing the length of chemotherapy after surgery.
BY Anita Shaffer
PUBLISHED June 04, 2017
The majority of patients with low-risk advanced colon cancer would benefit from reducing the length of the typical oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy regimen they receive after surgery by half, without notably increasing their risk of recurrence. The shorter therapy course also decreases the likelihood that they will develop neuropathy, according to research reported at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
The results of the IDEA international collaboration, which involved more than 12,800 patients, demonstrated that a 3-month course of adjuvant chemotherapy is nearly as effective as the standard 6-month course for patients with stage IIIC, lymph-node positive, colon cancer who have undergone surgery.
Overall, the 3-month regimen was associated with a less than one percent lower risk of recurrence compared with a 6-month course as measured by the three-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate (74.6 percent versus 75.5 percent, respectively). In a subset of patients categorized as low risk of cancer recurrence, defined as cancer spread to one to three lymph nodes and not completely through the bowel wall, there was almost no DFS difference between a three-month versus six-month course of therapy (83.1 percent vs 83.3 percent).
Additionally, the rates of grade 2 or higher neurotoxicity were approximately 30 percent less with the shorter duration of chemotherapy.
The findings will change the standard of care for 60 percent of patients with low-risk colon cancer, which accounts for about 20,000 patients annually in the United States and approximately 400,000 individuals worldwide, said senior study author Axel Grothey, M.D., an oncologist at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center in Rochester, Minnesota, who discussed the results during an ASCO press conference June 4.
For higher risk patients, the analysis provides a framework for doctors to discuss balancing risks versus benefits, Grothey said. "We come into clinical judgment," he said. "How much are we willing to push patients into 6 months of therapy for a very small minimal difference in disease-free survival?"
Since 2004, adjuvant therapy for these patients has consisted of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy administered over 6 months. In the study, investigators examined pooled results for patients who had received either FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin) or CAPOX (capecitabine, oxaliplatin), which also is known as XELOX.
Although these regimens have improved survival for patients, oxaliplatin is associated with cumulative dose–dependent nerve damage, such as numbness, tingling, and pain that many patients find debilitating and that can persist long after therapy ends, sometimes permanently. Grothey said dose reductions and early discontinuation due to neurotoxicity are common.
The IDEA investigators reached a consensus on a risk-based approach to adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage III colon cancer: for patients with T1-3 N1 disease, they recommended 3 months of chemotherapy; for patients with T4 and/or N2 or other high-risk factors, they advise determining the duration of therapy by tolerability, patient preference, assessment of risk recurrence factors, and choice of regimen.
"This is a great day for patients throughout the world," said Nancy Baxter, M.D., F.R.C.S.C., Ph.D., chief of the General Surgery Department at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada, who served as ASCO's expert commentator during the presscast. "What we've heard today is practice-changing work that shows for most people with stage III colon cancer, 3 months of treatment provides all the benefits of 6 months of treatment with fewer risks. Less is more."
Collaborative Effort Highlighted
Grothey pointed out that the IDEA research was funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), public agencies in other countries, and philanthropies. He noted that commercial companies do not focus on shortening therapy.
"This type of work can only be done with federal funding," agreed Baxter. "The pharmaceutical industry is not interested in giving less treatment. This study is a great example of how NIH funding can have a major and immediate impact on the lives of cancer patients."
The data for the study were pooled from these trials: SCOT in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, Australia, Sweden, and New Zealand; TOSCA in Italy; Alliance/SWOG 80702 in the United States and Canada; IDEA France (GERCOR/PRODIGE) in France; ACHIEVE in Japan; and HORG in Greece.

I'm never really surprised to hear that succession planning is not a top priority in functional business units. For example, today Robert Half Technology released a survey indicating nearly 80% of CIOs haven't identified a successor in the event they have to stop work unexpectedly.
But when you think about it, why would they? If they have to stop work unexpectedly, it means they've either 1. Left the company for a better job 2. Retired 3. Had a medical issue or 4. Been fired or laid off. And in none of those scenarios is the performance of their prior organization a top priority (I suppose you could argue "retirement" but I know a few retirees and none of them seem all that concerned about how their successors are performing).
But while the CIO might not be ready to pick his or her own successor, they are in an extremely advantageous position to help their company fill the talent pipeline. Because information -- and information technology -- has a very big role in managing talent today.
As SAP's Oliver Conze, vp of solution management, points out in this insiderPROFILES article, to manage talent needs "you need the right information. And as we all know, with so much information out there, we can't do it on our own. Choosing technology that caters and adapts to your business processes, not vice versa, is key. We need technology that has effective analytical capabilities built-
in so that we can construct the best strategy for our organization. With this technology, we can predict, execute, monitor, and analyze to make the correct decisions for our organization's success."
This pro-technology message has been received in the HR organization -- to a certain extent. According to a survey earlier this year from Towers Watson, 31% of organizations polled planned to increase or significantly increase their investment in HR technology this year. But when you drill down into SAP users, the pro-technology message has only gotten so far.
According to the Towers Watson survey: "A surprising percentage of organizations running SAP have not fully developed upgrade plans ... 40% of organizations running SAP's enhancement pack 4 or earlier do not know what an enhancement pack is or don't have plans for it."
And THAT's a missed opportunity that the CIO can rectify. Educating the HR organization and ensuring that their organization's HR technology -- and all of its IT -- is updated to best leverage the latest functionality is a key component of the CIO's job. While HR might not always be thought of as an IT-centric organization, the CIO and the rest of the IT organization needs to pay it the proper due and get those systems updated because a company is only as good as its people.
Of course, there's much more to HR than IT. And to that point, Towers Watson cautions, "Companies that rely solely on technology to implement their programs will be far less effective than those that deploy it as simply one part of a more holistic plan. Leaders must provide strategic input, and managers need to steer programs using proper processes, governance and the necessary metrics."
But there's certa
inly a good argument here for the vice president of HR and the CIO to have lunch together once in a while, isn't there?
As always, I welcome your thoughts and opinions.

There is a moment – as the full realization of debt out of control hits – when, at least metaphorically, the knees buckle, the head swims, and the urge for flight swells to an almost irresistible force.
This is the 'Moment of Panic.' More exactly this is the start of a very long moment of panic. And for quite a while it will return in short bursts. And there is every reason to have such a Moment and such moments. For you have no idea what lies before you, and no idea what mess you are in. You have, after all, never been there before, and probably don't know anyone else who has either.
I say the Moment! Savor it, milk it, stroke yourself with it! Soon enough you are going to come to your full shaken senses. Then you will have to handle matters coolly, calmly and thoughtfully.
While in The Moment:
- Make no decisions
- Sign no papers; and
- Don't try to make reason of anything.
To do any of certain, you must be as bright and as objective as you can manage. During your Moment you are not going to be that.
The panic is fed, of the route, the reason of the whole world falling on your head, of fingers pointing at you in the street and of being cast from your home to ramble the streets begging crusts from strangers.
Or maybe even of being thrown in prison and breaking rocks in some cold and hostile place.
Well in England and Wales at least this last is not going to happen. There are only two situations involving debt that can lead to prison here. One is where rates are involved, and unless you are withholding rates on principle, it is unlikely that this will happen since there are probably other problems that can be addressed.
The other is where you have committed fraud, and if you have done that you are not going to be reading this article. Having bad luck, being silly or being ill is not fraud. Losing your job is not fraud, suffering the effects of inflation is not fraud. Being old is not fraud. And having a mental disorder is not fraud.
You are not in a debt crisis because you chose to be. Something has happened since you took on the loan, and – in England and Wales at least – your creditor is expected to take that into account and negotiate a solution.
There is a structure of priorities which places those things you need to live as priorities and most loans as non-priority. But there are some difficulties where you own assets, especially a house, which requires a lot of thought about how to go forward.
Since it is a priority to have accommodation and mortgage or rent are priority debts, it makes no sense for mortgage lenders to repossess in many circumstances, and that is very much so in a weakening house market. For, unfortunately, while you possess the house, the mortgage is a separate debt secured on the house. Repossession of the house does not clear the debt, and the money received from selling the house may be far less than the mortgage figure.
If the lender places you in a position of having less money available he is cutting off his nose to spite his face. For you to stay in that property paying rent and looking after the property makes more sense, especially if it is by reviving the mortgage when things pick up again. An idea worth exploring at least, if it is needed.
BP bonds have now fallen in cost significantly following the leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The downturn is giving a sign that BP will soon default on its debts according to many analysts. Although shares are beginning to show signs of recovery the bonds are still falling steadily.
Rating agencies are now threatening to cut BP's credit rating and even threatening more downgrades as they wait to see what the full extent of the spill in the Gulf of Mexico will mean for the company.
Many of BP's investors are restricted from owning lower grade bonds and therefore if BP suffers any more cuts the investors could be forced to sell their shares.
BP revealed last week that it had cut a faulty pipe from the leaking source which will hopefully make a big difference to the spill.
Even though recent happenings have shown a lot of negativity surrounding BP, it is clear that the company still has a good investment grade credit rating. The current AA rating was described as being 'a very strong rating,' by BP spokesman Mark Salt this week.
BP owes £14bn in total debts, whereas stock markets currently value the company at £84bn which means its debt levels are very low currently.
Investors in the shares such as many UK pension funds now fear that BP will cut their dividend as a result. The next dividend meeting is set for July 27th, which means a wait for many.
Lots of room for negotiation – once you are over The Moment of Panic. Similarly with other debts whether secured or unsecured. In all cases what makes sense can usually be agreed.
Though sometimes you have to argue your corner pretty strenuously. And if all these possibilities are at the back of your mind in Your 'Moment of Panic' you will be less likely to rush to decision or signature. For that period keep out of the water, there were many sharks.

Over the last month I've done the opposite of many computer users. I've switched from a Mac to a PC. Sure, it's not the coolest thing to be doing - at least if I pay attention to the ads and what the cool kids are doing. But I wanted to see something - is there really much practical difference between OS X Lion and Windows 7?
It's important to understand what I'm trying to do and what I'm not trying to do. This isn't going to be a hardware discussion - it's going to be about software and real-world use. I'm leaving the hardware out of the discussion because the range of hardware that can run Windows is so vast that I think there's a hardware solution for every type of user and budget. Just so that you know what I am using - in case that's important to you in casting a judgement on the veracity of my opinions - I will note what hardware I'm using in my transition.
I've turned my iPhone off and have switched to HTC HD7 running Windows Phone 7.5 (also known as Mango). In place of the 11-inch MacBook Air I normally carry, I'm using an Acer Iconia W500 tablet. That was the most difficult piece of hardware to choose as the MacBook Air is probably the best mobile computer I've found for my specific needs. I'm hoping that the W500 will cover off my iPad as well as the ability to switch between notebook and tablet mode using the keyboard dock makes it quite versatile. That said, lots of iPads are used by Windows users so I don't feel that I'm compromising the test by keeping my iPad handy.
In the office, I've decided to not replace the 27-inch iMac I normally use as I run both OS X and Windows on that already. I work at a client office some of the time and I use a 22-inch HP TouchSmart 9100 there with Windows 7 so I already have a decent Windows environment.
The main jobs I do each week are as an IT Manager and a writer. For that, my main tools are email, a web browser, Microsoft Office and a text editor. My working data is stored in Dropbox so it's easily accessible as I move between machines and client sites. That means that the migration issues many people face when making the switch between platforms aren't a big deal for me. I use Google Apps for email so I don't use an email client at all as I only ever access my email via a browser connected the web, my phone or iPad.
So, the plan for the next few days is to cover the swap outlining the challenges and solutions. I'll start with the out of the box experience with the Iconia, then look at swapping from the iPhone to Windows Phone, applications, media access and sharing, and finish up with a list of tips and tricks I've learned along the way.

A tribe… family we choose
I mentioned the profound love I felt for a newborn as being my catalyst for change but that suggests I don't love the other children in my life as much. For sure there is something primal about your own child giving birth when you're there to witness it, the continuation of your lineage. Sometimes there are no words because the experience is somatic, it's got its own release of 'feel good' when you simply engage the mind in how wonderful it all is.
For most of us it's a given, we love our family, they can be the most unlikely bunch when you put them together, they certainly wouldn't pick each other out to hang around with, so why is that? Why do we end up with siblings we have very little in common with, relatives that test our patience, in-laws we despise! I've pondered the 'mirror' theory – we're all offering an opportunity for self-reflection…
What about the family you do choose? My daughter asked me once when referring to her 14 year old friend 'could you love him like a son?' I said sure. To be honest there's not very much I refused my daughter whether she was looking for money to save someone's eyesight, pay for a child's education, or hire the worse home help in the world (dear Marlie, she broke more than she cleaned!), I normally gave in and helped her to help those less fortunate. At this point I have to say we were not wealthy but somehow I managed to stretch what we had to reach out beyond our own needs.
So this boy, now 30 is definitely part of my family and his gorgeous children, all 3 of them know me only as their grannie; they will no doubt grow one day to ask how come their grannie has white skin, Scottish heritage and is not the natural parent to their mother or father, but right now the bond is love and the bond will survive those questions
It doesn't end there as there is another son, also almost 30, now with a baby on the way, grandchild number 6. Again, there is no logical explanation for why this relationship exists, unless you look at connection on an energetic level.
What is it that is so valuable about this global family? On a micro level we experience and overcome the problems that are affecting humanity as a whole. We are multi-national, multi-cultural and yet we co-exist in peace, with respect and love. Amongst us we are Scottish, Emirati, Thai, Yemeni and Sudanese; the privileged to the terrorist and everything in between – by popular opinion of course, and yet we're a family.
I lived in Dubai for almost 20 years and folks thought I must be wealthy; I had periods when I was better off than others but for the most part I supported this extended family and money in the bank wasn't a driver. For what can only be considered a brief moment in time, I had all the nice things at once, the large house, the Bentley, the Rolex , Chanel, Louis Vuitton… but it came with stringent terms and conditions. I will give you this and I will love you if you do this and behave this way and look like this….. but if you don't I will take it away and give it to someone else.
It could be argued that you must make your own money generate your own wealth so you may never have the rug pulled from under your feet, but it could be argued that this is not wealth, that wealth is realising the value of relationships that are not dependent on what you give in order to receive.
I am extremely wealthy, I have 5 small children who shower me unconditional love, I have 3 big kids and their partners who (I believe) value my guidance – there is after all nothing smart about repeating the mistakes I've already made!
Of course it's important to have a comfortable life and this is where I witness the injustice of the passport lottery first hand. I have a daughter who can travel anywhere with her UK passport, she has a husband who couldn't visit his new born in the UK because he's Sudanese and was refused entry. I have an Emirati son with mixed heritage who was not afforded the privileges of a 'pure' Emirati in his career, then there is the Yemeni, who pretty much can't go anywhere and will always be paid around a quarter of what the Emirati will be paid because his kind are struggling to obtain residency anywhere on the planet!
I'm not sure number one son fully comprehends the struggles and injustice number two son faces, I'm not sure number two son felt compassion for the son in law who missed bonding with his new-born because at that time some of his relatives were missing feared dead in Yemen. Not for one minute am I suggesting that I've found a formula for world peace but I have nurtured a family and there are 5, soon to be 6, mixed race children spending summers together with their white Scottish grannie in the Highlands of Scotland; they are raised with love and tolerance and they will each grow to understand the tribulations facing the other and they will naturally choose change. They will desire a world with freedom of movement and an end to the passport lottery.
I look at the choice I made as a soul incarnating into the body of a white Scottish woman – don't get me wrong I could have made a better choice – I faced adversity by the shed load but I never faced prejudice. If my theory is correct and we choose where we will end up then I'm surrounded by game changers, every single one of them have chosen mixed-race and the dilution will continue into the next generation. How beautiful is it to be the expression of the creators' gene pool – to take the black skin with the white, the round blue eyes with the narrow brown, the curly hair with the straight and the product… the most beautiful children you've ever seen. And they are children who cannot judge because they are the embodiment of change themselves.
If I'm head of a family of trailblazers then my purpose it to pave the way for them. Why do I study quantum physics, neuroscience, bioenergetics medicine, why home-schooling over mainstream? The opportunity to nurture a young human to be free to express themselves, armed with the awareness of their individual power, their connectedness to source and access to healing is huge. If those same kids take back what's rightfully theirs, access to healthy foods, saying no to poisoned crops and drugged livestock, finding alternatives to corrupt banking systems and unfair taxes, treating cause instead of symptoms in healthcare, we're one step closer to utopia. This is such an exciting time to be alive; as it is I'd like to live to be 104 – to attend Kai's 50th – but honestly if every day were to last as long as 3 days it wouldn't be enough for me. Every day has the potential to be really amazing and if it's not for you then my advice would be to visit your values, find your big WHY. Why do you want to be the best version of you that you possibly can be?

Society of the Spectacle
The arrival of the Acid House scene in the late 80s had transformed audiences into participants. At The Hacienda in Manchester and at underground parties in London, I'd experienced a real sense of involvement and social equality. Once that equality had been glimpsed there was no going back to the old rock n roll relationship between performers and audiences. A relationship that – whether intentional or not – reinforced the old power structures of us and them. At the underground parties, the dance floor was no longer the pit for the worshipping minions. No longer a place to gaze up adoringly at some contrived act strutting about on a pedestal. The dance floor had been reclaimed by the people as a free social space – a place where people felt centred, balanced – together. Not a new idea, but one that successive overlords have relentlessly outlawed – and attempted to write out of history.

The EU's incoming Bulgarian president Boyko Borisvo brings an 'unmissable opportunity' to address the issue of transfer of value from creators to digital platforms, industry experts have advised.
More than 20 organisations including the global collecting societies' umbrella organisation CISAC and international recorded music body IFPI have called on the new leader to close the 'value gap'.
In an open letter to Prime Minister Borisov, they said: 'The value gap is the growing mismatch between the value that online User Uploaded Content (UUC) website services extract from creative content and the revenues returned to the creative community.
'User uploaded content services have become vast distributors of our creative works e.g. film, music, photos, broadcasts, text and sport content – all while refusing to negotiate fair or any copyright licences with us as rightsholders.
'This problem is caused by a lack of clarity surrounding the application of copyright to certain online services and the abuse of European copyright "safe harbour" rules in the e-Commerce Directive by those services.'
The letter, which arrived in time for a key copyright meeting in Brussels today (Wednesday), went on to say that Bulgaria's EU presidency provides the 'unmissable opportunity for a solution' as it will lead the Council's work on the new EU Copyright Directive proposal.
The organisations specifically call for UUC services to be obliged to obtain licences for their use of copyright works, unless they are specifically eligible for safe harbour allowances.
They also call on the European Council to acknowledge that UUC platforms which play an active role in the promotion or optimisation of content cannot benefit from the safe harbour loophole.
John Mottram, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at PRS for Music, has signalled the organisation's support for the letter, saying: 'PRS for Music is working closely with representatives from across the creative sectors to secure the essential copyright reforms necessary for a well-functioning digital market.
'Ambiguity in the current copyright right law is allowing some platforms to generate vast incomes by making available creative works, while paying little or nothing to the creators' of those works.
'This letter, which comes at a pivotal time in the legislative process, is an important reminder that a successful creative industry depends upon a copyright regime which protects creators' rights to be paid for the use of their works.'
Alongside the IFPI and CISAC, signatories number organisations representing authors, performers, publishers, filmmakers, TV producers, football leagues and photo agencies across the continent.

This week's SLIAC Game of the Week features two teams that have made each of the last two women's basketball conference tournaments and are looking to head into the New Year on the right track to another tournament appearance; Eureka College at Spalding University.
At a
On Saturday, December 20 Spalding University will play host to Eureka College in a SLIAC women's basketball contest. Spalding will enter the game with a 4-3 overall record and are just one of two undefeated teams in conference play with a 2-0 mark. Eureka College begins the week with a 3-3 overall record and are 1-1 in the SLIAC. Game time is set for 12 p.m. and you can watch the game live on video HERE
About Eureka
Eureka is currently 3-3 on the season and are coming off a 76-55 win over Fontbonne last Friday. Eureka will host Monmouth on Wednesday night and will be looking for their first back to back wins of the season. The Red Devils are averaging 73.5 points per game, which ranks first in the SLIAC. Eureka has been strong on the boards this year, ranking first in the SLIAC in rebounds, while also having success behind the arc with 8.0 three's made per game.
The duo of Kelsey Shoemake and Emily Camden are the strength of the team. Shoemake, a senior forward, leads the team in scoring (18.8 ppg) and rebounding (13.2 rpg). Shoemake, a Second Team All-Conference performer last year, is shooting 48.9 percent from the field and ranks second in the league in scoring, rebounding, and blocks this season. Camden, a junior guard, is averaging 17.8 points per game and is one of the top shooters in the league; ranking second in three-pointers with 19 and third in free-throw percentage.
Spalding enters the game 4-3 overall and are coming off a 67-43 loss to #14 ranked DePauw last Tuesday. The Golden Eagles will have had 11 days off between games when they step on the court against Eureka on Saturday. Spalding stands undefeated in SLIAC play with wins over Greenville and MacMurray and were the 2014-15 SLIAC Preseason favorites in the coaches poll. Spalding is averaging 62.6 points per game this season but are the league's top defensive team, allowing just 56.0 points per game. They have a high pressure defense that is forcing a league high 13.0 turnovers per game and are also the top rebounding margin team in the league.
The Golden Eagles are led by the athletic forward combination of senior Jessica Guy and freshman Kayla Styles. Guy, a First Team All-Conference player and the SLIAC Tournament MVP, is averaging 11.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game this season. Styles, a transfer, leads the team in scoring at 14.6 points per game while averaging 9.4 rebounds per game. The duo have also combined to average 3.6 steals and 3.9 blocks per game.
Game Notes
- Spalding leads the all-time series against Eureka 7-3, sweeping last season's series.
- Eureka is the only team in the league with multiple players ranking in the top five of the league in scoring. Kelsey Shoemake is second while Emily Camden ranks third.
- It will be a battle on the boards Saturday as Kelsey Shoemake (Eureka) ranks second in the league in rebounding while Jessica Guy and Kayla Styles of Spalding rank fourth and fifth in the league.
- Eureka has made three consecutive SLIAC Tournament apperances, their only three trips.
- Spalding has made two straight SLIAC Tournament appearances, their only trips to the post-season.

About 15 percent of adult Americans currently smoke cigarettes. This habit can cause cardiovascular disease, cancer and respiratory disease, among other complications. What many people don't realize however, is that smoking can also cause gum disease. For World No Tobacco Day on May 31, consider kicking the habit and taking care of your teeth and gums.
Common Oral Symptoms of Tobacco Use
Tobacco affects the bones attached to your teeth as well as your gum tissue cells' function. It also impedes blood flow, which can prevent wound healing. Smoking can cause the following symptoms:
· Tooth discoloration
· Bad breath
· Bone loss within the jaw
· White patches, called leukoplakia
· Buildup of tarter and plaque on teeth
· Gum disease
· Slowed healing after periodontal treatment, tooth extraction and oral surgery
· Risk of oral cancer
· Unsuccessful dental implant procedures
Types of Tobacco and Their Complications
While many attribute health complications to cigarettes, they aren't the only form of tobacco that can cause oral problems. Those who smoke pipes and cigars are at risk for tooth loss and bone loss, throat cancer and periodontal disease. They also generally experience bad breath and stained teeth. Chewing tobacco can increase chances of oral complications even more than cigarettes, pipes and cigars. Smokeless tobacco products have 28 chemicals, if not more, that increase the risk of throat, oral and esophageal cancer. Chewing tobacco has higher levels of nicotine, and a can of snuff has more nicotine than 60 cigarettes.
Getting Back on Track
Fortunately, complications from smoking and other uses of tobacco don't have to be a lifelong sentence. Quitting tobacco can greatly increase the health of your teeth and gums. Even just lowering your tobacco use can have a significant effect. Drs. Saunders and Dickson can help restore damaged teeth and gums with LANAP laser treatment in Harrisonburg and Winchester, VA. This treatment often eliminates the need for oral surgery by using a laser to vaporize bacteria and tissue that has been affected. Give us a call to go over treatment options and to get you back on the road to oral health.
