Physical security requirements for next generation identity documents, by Dr Roland Gutmann
Modern identity documents have to meet various technical requirements in order to be considered secure and fully functional. In addition, they should enable a fast and reliable match between documents and their owners. The security requirements aside, modern documents need complex graphical background designs, ideally reflecting the national identity and lifestyle of the issuing country. There are various approaches to achieving an effective solution for states and supranational organisations. As many citizens of industrialised states are frequent travellers, their documents are used in a large number of countries, so document security should be considered an international topic.
In this article, Dr Roland Gutmann shares his forward-looking definition of highly secure identity documents. The production of secure identity documents is a very complex topic since various distinct aspects have to be considered. Before production can start, a process has to be created covering data capture, data transmission (in case of centralised personalisation) and the delivery of the document to its owner after production. When the production of a security document is planned, the production environment, the specified security level, customer requests or concerns, the durability of the document and the individual security features have to be considered. And lastly, the control, the verification and the identity match between the document and its owner have to be dealt with.
Security requirements for document production facilities
Production facilities for identity documents have to meet various security requirements. These include: a secure and CCTV-monitored building, employee access/exit control, and two or more security levels for the administration and the production area with entrance control and reporting of all incoming and
outgoing data, materials and products. Documentation of the material flow, including the registration of waste material and the destruction of invalid documents, is an additional requirement. Furthermore, all partners, subcontractors and customers have to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Finally, a highly secure data network with limited and registered access which is controlled by certification and/or customer audits is strongly recommended. For more details, please consult the security production recommendations of ICAO.
Security requirements for documents
The security requirements for the identity document itself are of highest importance, because these documents, once released, will be scrutinised for their potential to be re-engineered, manipulated or otherwise tampered with. Hence, it is of the utmost importance that identity documents are able to withstand attacks such as the change of personal details, the separation
and re-use of individual security elements or the design and production of a counterfeit document. A recommended approach for customers would be to insist on a background design with a high resolution, the use of non-CMYK colours, security printing and a combination of different printing techniques in order to prevent forgery and counterfeiting. A highly secure card set-up should also protect the background design and the personalised data and different personalisation methods and data redundancy will further enhance the protection.
Non-surface personalisation technologies such as laser engraving or an ink penetration into the substrate layer allow the data to be integrated in the printed security layer. Data and background overlaying security printing and the encapsulation of the card with a transparent overlay with a graphical structured surface also offer essential protection. The following paragraphs will cover this highly sophisticated approach in more detail and provide several examples which will give the reader more insight into the creation of secure ID documents. As not all aspects can be discussed here in detail, data handling, including data acquisition, encryption, transmission and the electronic recording on the RFID chips are not covered in this article.

Day 2
It was a moment of weakness. I had to have it. The plunger never looked so good. I went out and got pastries and some ground coffee. It felt like a lifetime waiting for the water to boil.
It was hot and steamy. All the good things I was craving.
Pastries and coffee in the morning.

In New York City, ten years after September 11, 2001, two new square pools, angled diagonally to each other in the footprints of the World Trade Center buildings, now carry the etched names of those who died during the attacks. Fountains cascade down the inside walls of these two pools, creating a sense of refreshment and peace that comes only from falling water. Trees surround the pools with greenery and new life. Read more: http://bit.ly/u5CKYH (English only)
What is special about this memorial is that the honored names are not engraved in alphabetical order but by relationship. The names of those who died in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC are in clusters, so that co-workers, friends, family, first responders to the attacks, and passengers on the same planes, are placed near each other now as they touched each other in life.
The designers of this memorial got it right. What is most important after all is relationship and that is what is being emphasized at the September 11 Memorial. Our work at the United Nations is also one of relationships, inspiring and equipping people for international citizenship. When we work on major global issues of our time such as social protection for all, an end to trafficking in persons, empowerment of women and girls, climate change, we do this because we are in relationship with all peoples across national boundaries. We live in a world community of partnership with each other and with our earth.

For the 25th Eurovision Song Contest, the Swedish entry was chosen in the national selection Melodifestivalen 1980. The Swedish Final was held on March 8th at the SVT TV Studios in Stockholm, hosted by Bengt Bedrup. The winning song was chosen by the votes of 11 regional juries. Tomas Ledin won with the song Just nu!, which he had written himself.
01. Just nu - Tomas Ledin, 112 points
02. Växeln hallå - Janne Lucas Persson, 96 points
03. Hit men inte längre - Liza Öhman, 94 points
04. Mycke' mycke' mer - Chips, 75 points
05. Låt solen värma dig - Ted Gärdestad & Annica Boller, 57 points
06. Utan att fråga - Kenta, 56 points
07. Jag ger mig inte - Eva Dahlgren, 48 points
08. Å sjuttiotal - Tania, 41 points
09. Tusen sekunder - Paul Paljett, 32 pointa
10. För dina bruna ögons skull - Lasse Lindbom, 27 points
At the final in The Hague, he came 10th (out of 19) with 47 points.
Tomas Folke Jonas Ledin (born 25 February 1952, in Rätan, Sweden) is a Swedish singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer. He grew up in the town of Sandviken.
Tomas Ledin started his career in 1972 when his first single, Då ska jag spela, was a big hit. Other successful songs followed: Blå, blå känslor (1973), Knivhuggarrock" (1975), Festen har börjat (1976), and I natt är jag din (1977). At the beginning of the 70s, Ledin was influenced by hippie fashion and demonstrated against the Vietnam war. He also took part in a Swedish stage production of the musical Gospell in 1975 and performed in 140 concerts in the Swedish folkparks in 1977.
In 1979, ABBA member Benny Andersson offered him a chance to record for the group's company Polar Music. The singer joined ABBA on their 1979-1980 tour as a backing vocalist, but also got the opportunity to sing his own composition Not Bad at All during the show. Tomas Ledin also appeared on the ABBA Live DVD and on the Super Trouper Video.
Tomas participated several times at Melodifestivalen:
1972: Då ska jag spela, 8th
1977: Minns du Hollywood, 5th
1978: Mademoiselle, 5th
1979: Det liger i luften, 2nd
1980: Just nu, 1st
He won the Swedish Melodifestivalen in 1980 and represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest that year with Just nu!. The song was a big hit in Scandinavia, but also in Greece and Portugal since Ledin recorded an English version, Right Now!.
In 1982, he released the duet Never Again with Agnetha Fältskog of ABBA. The song reached number one in Chile (in its Spanish version Ya nunca más) and was popular across Europe. Ledin also composed Take Good Care of Your Children, which Agnetha Fältskog released in 1983 on her album Wrap Your Arms Around Me. Another composition by the singer, I Got Something, was released by Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA on her album Something's Going On.
In the 80s, Ledin was very successful in Scandinavia but his career abroad failed to reach the same level. He nevertheless toured Germany and the Netherlands on a small scale in 1982, and the following year, he played in front of 60,000 people at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, in a show with other international acts.
He decided to put an end to his career in 1984 and started to act as a producer for Record Station, his wife's record company. He discovered other singers and successfully produced artists such as Pugh Rogefeldt and Magnus Uggla. In 1985, he organized a concert for ANC featuring several Swedish artists.
Three years later, Tomas Ledin started to compose again and wrote songs in English. The album Down on the Pleasure Avenue was released but was not successful. Ledin was very disappointed but started to compose again, in Swedish this time. He started to enjoy success again in 1990 when he released a compilation and a new album, Tillfälligheternas spel, and has been one of the best selling artists in Sweden since then.
In 2000, 260,000 copies of his compilation album Festen har börjat were sold in Sweden, which meant he was awarded three platinum records there. The same year he was also awarded a gold record in Finland for the first time. In 2002, he went on the biggest tour ever planned in Scandinavia and performed in 27 shows in Sweden and 8 shows in the rest of Scandinavia. More than 250,000 people saw this show in Northern Europe.
He has been married since 1983 to record company president Marie Ledin, daughter of Stig Anderson.

The flower head at the center is called a LilyPad Arduino. It is a microcontroller board designed for wearables and e-textiles that can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted power supplies, sensors and actuators with conductive thread. Working with the LilyPad Arduino Rebecca Stern composed this circuit to see what she could do. The embroidery uses traditional floss and techniques mixed with lights and sounds generated by the onboard software. The amount of light sensed by the sensor changes the speed and pitch of the lights and sounds generated, with more light increasing the overall pace.

The Storm-Proof Vented Umbrella is one of the most popular vented umbrellas in our range. With a polyester (190t) canopy it means that the umbrella is very strong. With the addition of the second canopy, it becomes a vented umbrella. Due to this, it is storm-proof allowing it to be used in strong winds while having no effect on the stability of the umbrella. The foam handle adds a little comfort to the umbrella as the soft foam prevents a gust of wind forcing a hard-plastic handle into your hand. With matching carrying sleeve, you don't have to worry about dripping rain water everywhere. This umbrella comes in 2 stock colours.

How does Kanye West have enough energy to promote his new album "Watch the Throne" and constantly chase supermodels? West was spotted having an "intimate dinner" with Australian supermodel Sian Honeybell at La Bottega in the Maritime Hotel the other night. Spies say West and Honeybell split a burrata caprese and an artichoke salad to start, and then she followed it with a pizza robiola while he ate rigatoni with peas and prosciutto. "They downed plenty of Pinot Grigio," a spy said. West seems to have a roster of models on his "to do" list and has recently been cozying up to Victoria's Secret models including Kate Upton, Candice Swanepoel and Selita Ebanks. On Monday night, he was chatting up gorgeous Romanian model Alina Puscau at his album after-party at The Darby. His rep didn't get back to us.

So we have been doing a lot of this to beat the SUN and its scorching, blistering, sizzling, stifling and oppressive heat rays. All I have to say is, In your face Mr. Sun...take that!

Tropicana Center approved by St Petersburg EDC
June 10th, 2007 categories: Real Estate News
St. Petersburg, Florida, June 6, 2007
The Environmental Development Commission today approved the Tropicana Center proposal for twin towers with condos, hotel and retail to be built in downtown St Petersburg, covering the block from Central Avenue to 1st Ave N and from 1st St N to 2nd St N. Giving the city its wanted north-south pedestrian walkway in the center, connecting BayWalk with the South Core Parking garage, the project gained a vacation of the east-west alley dividing the block. The main objection to the project had been raised by Tim Baker, who was also a lead objector to the Fuel Group hotel-condominium project proposed for 1st St N and 5th Ave N.
Tropicana Center is planning two towers. The 36 story tower on the west will have 151 hotel rooms and 264 condo units, as well as 400 parking spaces and 46,000 sq ft of retail space. The 33 story tower on the east will have 321 condo homes, 480 parking spaces, and 46,000 sq ft of retail space. The two towers will be perpendicular, with different architectural styles.
With completion not scheduled until 2012, prices have not yet been announced for the downtown condominiums but sizes are expected to range from 850 sq ft to 1,250 sq ft.

Vinoy Marina Construction Started in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida
March 28th, 2007 categories: Real Estate News
When Hurricane Dennis came through in July 2005, the Tampa Bay area was basically spared, but a unique combination of winds and tides created havoc in the Vinoy basin, and the floating docks of the marina at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, were destroyed.
Many of the condominium owners at Vinoy Place kept their boats at the marina, and had to relocate them. Slip rentals at the Vinoy marina are available only to Vinoy Club members (memberships in the Vinoy Club are not limited to owners at Vinoy Place). The hotel only leases 49 of the 74 slips, keeping the others for hotel guests and short term rentals.
The Vinoy hotel has been ready and anxious to rebuild, but the permitting process through the state has been long and slow. The permits issued require the Vinoy to be a "clean marina". The 74 slips approved are the same number as before, but the slips will be larger, in order to accomodate larger boats.
Russ Bond, General Manager of the Renaissance Vinoy Resort, expects some of the Vinoy slips to be occupied by July, and that the entire project will be finished by October.
Downtown St Pete residents and visitors will be happy to see the marina completed and the yachts back. The new pilings without the floating docks attached has had a desolated look. Rental rates have not yet been set for these slips, but are anticipated to be competitive with other marinas in the area.

Private Facility Buildings / Arruga Movie Studio
The project is born from the decision to locate the Arruga cinema studios in an industrial area of the periphery of Barcelona, considering movie and advertising production an industrial activity.
Thus, a building intended to harbor a creative activity, would have to co-exist in a gray and mute world – without language – of factories and stores with activity schedules typical of the industrial areas.
Because of the impossibility of generating a dialogue with its neighbors, the building becomes the image and the reflection of its own essence, thus showing itself in the only possible way: a building to make movies.
Its main façade becomes a piece of celluloid at night, converting into cinema the activity of the building itself: production, post-production, execution.. with the rest of the program hidden behind the blind box: casting, wardrobe, attretzo, stores, assemblies, workshops, dressing rooms and services, and finally the great space used as movie stage which presents itself in its most neutral form.
The construction, material, structure and facilities of this space are put to the service of the main activity reinforcing the neutrality of the project.
The building is built with the technology and budget of an industrial warehouse: exposed steel structure with fires protection, deck floor slabs, concrete block walls, polished concrete floors, exposed services, façade of cement-wood boards.
The project incorporates a linear plantation of populus teixana, as an external element, close to the main facade.
This vegetation reveals a new interstitial space which is the negative of the interior. This space relates the internal activity with the outside space, and also uses its changing condition.
In summer a thick green mattress protects from the sun, in autumn it changes color and purges its leaves, in winter it becomes a reflection on the arge glazed window and in spring it shows its different colorings.
There is an open space intended for arrival and vehicles traffic between this tree screen and the street of the industrial area.
Finally, in an industrial area, a gray box poses an architectural issue: the relationship between the envelope and the internal space articulated by light.

So here it is! The Tango Movement Blog is finally up and running.
And here I am, staring at a blank page and thinking of all the directions we could take this.
So I thought we could throw it back to you. After all, it's you - our student and fellow tango dancer - who will be reading this blog.
What would you like to read about? Do you have any burning issues to discuss (and we tango dancers certainly seem to like discussing things!). Would you like technical tips? Stories from our classes?

I was excited this morning to receive a request to invoice a handful of images for the latest Nature Sauvage. One of the shots used was labeled as 'Page 1". Evidently, Page 1 means the cover for this particular magazine! What a thrill! Nature Sauvage sets the very highest standard for Quebec natural history publications. It seems that their editorial staff choose the images that appear in the magazine based on the visual impact of the images and not any other secondary considerations. ;)

What is WorkKeys®
WorkKeys is a job skills assessment system measuring "real world" skills that employers believe are critical to job success. These skills are valuable to any occupation you are considering and at any level of education. When you use WorkKeys to show you are ready for work, you have an advantage with employers who accept or require job applicants to have WorkKeys scores. A growing number of states nationwide also are adopting WorkKeys to ensure that all their workers have needed skills.
The West Virginia Career Readiness Certificate ensures that an individual has certain foundational skills that are important across a range of occupations. The WV CRC offers individuals, employers and educators an easily understood, conveniently attained and universally valued credential that will contribute to the state's workforce and economic development objectives.
Recipients are awarded certificates of Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze depending on their skill levels in Applied Mathematics, Reading for Information and Locating Information. The certificate can complement diplomas, degrees, and resumes, and it gives job seekers an advantage in the interview process.

Posted on Wed, Oct 1, 2008
Youth With A Mission is calling on its 17,000 workers worldwide to join in three days of prayer and fasting for the church in India as it continues to face violent attacks from Hindu radicals.
YWAM said in a report that more than a dozen of its staff and students had been beaten and injured, lost their homes and suffered damage to personal and ministry property at the hands of radicals, who blame Christians for the death of their leader, despite authorities declaring Maoists to be responsible.
The wave of violence was triggered by the killing in late August of a radical Hindu leader in the sectarian violence-prone state of Orissa. At least 51 people have died in violence in the eastern state alone, while tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes in a bid to escape the violent mobs that have burned hundreds of homes and churches to the ground. The violence has since spread to the west coast state of Karnataka.
Teams of YWAM workers are working to provide refugees with basic necessities and praying for God to intervene in the crisis.
YWAM India joined 90 Christian leaders in Mumbai last week in praying for an end to the violence. They drew comparisons between the situation facing Christians in India to the book of Esther in the Old Testament.
One of the YWAM India leaders who took part in the meeting was quoted in the report as saying, "Queen Esther appeals, through Mordecai, to the people of God to go on a three day fast. The rest is history. God intervenes. That's the objective of this call to pray and fast. Accordingly, we are urging all our friends to declare three days of prayer and fasting for India from Monday the 29th to Wednesday the 1st of October."
YWAM's International Chairman, Lynn Green, threw her support behind the prayer call.
"This coming Thursday is YWAM's monthly Global Day of Prayer and our focus is on strengthening yourself in the Lord," she said. "Our brothers and sisters in India are suffering in a way many of us have never faced and we must stand with them, strengthening them with our prayers as they pursue God's purposes in that nation."

BOSTON -- Today, MassGOP Chairman Kirsten Hughes called on Senate President Stan Rosenberg to remove Senator Brian Joyce from all committee posts - including the chairmanship of Special Senate Committee to Improve Government, which is tasked with increasing transparency - after the Boston Globe published the third detailed report of Joyce's apparent flaunting of ethics and campaign finance laws. Chairman Hughes cited mounting evidence that Joyce consistently runs afoul of the regulations that are in place to keep lawmakers honest and government free from undue influence for the need to remove Joyce from important and influential positions of power.
The Boston Globe today published the account of Joyce's apparent ethical lapses as he reportedly received tens of thousands of dollars in free dry cleaning services. (Andrea Estes, "Dispute over senator's dirty laundry raises questions," Boston Globe, 1/12/16)
Ethics watchdogs called out Joyce's free dry cleaning scam as a violation of state ethics rules. "Good government advocates said that...Joyce appears to have abused his position." (Andrea Estes, "Dispute over senator's dirty laundry raises questions," Boston Globe, 1/12/16)
Joyce previously used his position as a state senator to receive sunglasses at a heavily discounted price. (Andrea Estes, "State senator's lavish gift raises concerns on ethics," Boston Globe, 1/30/15)
According to a second report, Joyce apparently violates ethics and campaign finance regulations by mingling private and public matters. (Andrea Estes, "Brian Joyce thrives at the edge of a fuzzy boundary," Boston Globe, 5/3/15)
In late 2015, Senate President Rosenberg complained that state ethics rules are "way overreaching." (Joshua Miller, "Rosenberg: ethics regulations can be 'overreaching,'"Boston Globe, 12/16/15)
Joyce is the chair of the Special Senate Committee to Improve Government which is charged with increasing transparency across state government.(Massachusetts State Senate, "Brian A. Joyce,")

One of my sponsors, Ragadoodle, generously offered to make something for my daughter. Emerson is almost 3 and started dance class this year. She needed something to carry her dance stuff in and this bag is just perfect. To say that she loves it would be a serious understatement.
The heart on the bag is sparkly!
It is the perfect size to throw her dance shoes and a snack into.
You can't tell from the pictures, but the other side of the bag is personalized with her name!
She doesn't look happy in this picture (she was tired of the camera) but I promise you that she loves it. She shows her dance bag to everyone that comes over.
If you like this bag, you are in for a treat. Ragadoodle is having a giveaway here next week. Stay tuned!

The law places a limit upon the extent to which the defendant is liable for the loss which occurs from his breach of a duty of care to the plaintiff, once it is established that the loss sustained by the plaintiff is one recoverable in negligence. The test of remoteness of damage limits this liability by defining certain types of damage or losses as being irrecoverable as a matter of law. The test is carried out to protect the defendant in breach of their obligations from unusual or unexpected claims.
The test for remoteness was for some time considered to be that laid down in Re Polemis and Furness, Withy & Co. Ltd where it was held that all harm suffered as a direct result of a breach of duty was recoverable, which meant that as long as some damage to the plaintiff is foreseeable, the defendant is liable for all the damage that results directly from the negligence and even applies to a plaintiff who was not within the reasonable foresight of the defendant.
However due to the conflict between this proposition and the neighbour principle laid down in Donohue v Stevenson and the general reluctance of the courts to make the defendants liability limitless, this proposition was soon rejected.
The current test of remoteness used by the courts was developed in the case, Overseas Tankship (UK) Ltd v Morts Dock & Engineering Co Ltd (The Wagon Mound) No 1. In this case, Lord Simons said that it was the foresight of the reasonable man which alone can determine responsibility. However there does not appear to be any definition of what exactly constitutes reasonable foresight.
Since The Wagon Mound No 1 the courts have frequently reiterated that the defendant may be liable even though he could not...

In the News: Water Shortage Strains Capital
The water crisis in Delhi only seems to be worsening, with reports that hospitals and malls are facing severe shortages – think no air conditioning and stinking toilets – and private consumers are facing exorbitant rates for a drink.
What's behind the water shortage remains a matter of debate. Delhi blames the neighboring state of Haryana for not supplying the amount of water it requested. Haryana says Delhi's getting more than its share of water but is so wasteful that there's a shortage nonetheless. A meeting between the chief ministers of both states failed to resolve the issue, leaving Delhi, for whichever reason, scrambling for water.
News that the monsoon may be arriving a few days later than anticipated is only making matters worse despite Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's own personal gesture to the crisis: She has asked water authorities to curtail the water supply to her residence.
The biggest impact of the water shortage has been felt at some of the city hospitals, where life-saving surgeries have reportedly been delayed. The Times of India reported that the city's largest municipal hospital, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, had to cancel as many as 40 surgeries over the past week because water required for the procedures couldn't be arranged.
At other hospitals such as the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital, Ambedkar Hospital and Safdarjung Hospital, patients said they had to buy water from outside as hospital taps ran dry, the report said.
The newspaper also reported that at many of these hospitals, washing and cleaning to prevent infections had been put on hold and the toilets had begun to stink.
Many Delhi residents, meanwhile, are facing a sharp increase in the prices they pay for private water, sometimes as much as three times what they pay in more plentiful times. A report in the New Indian Express said that tankers use groundwater and sell it at rates of 1,500 rupees (approximately $26) to 4,000 rupees for a 10,000-liter tanker.
"At these rates, and consumption figures that go up to 400 liters per capita in the city's tony neighborhoods, this tanker business has an annual turnover that runs into thousands of crores," the newspaper wrote. Taking up all that water has hit supply levels, with The Hindu reporting that production capacity has fallen to 55 million gallons a day as water levels in ponds fell.
According to a report in the Hindustan Times, residents in Noida were paying as much as 30% more than the maximum retail price for bottled water.
In hot times like these, malls are often the favored hang-out for Delhiites. But not anymore. Some malls reportedly have had to stop their air conditioning and close many toilets because of the water shortage persisted, hurting business, according to another Times of India article.
Water experts have said the perennial shortage of water in Delhi is in part because of its poor water management and failure to implement rainwater harvesting. Perhaps city authorities can learn from Delhi's international airport, which has started recycling water and reusing it for toilets and watering plants. According to a news report, the airport saves approximately 25 million liters a day from rainwater harvesting.

Good morning from rainy Boston! Yesterday's cooking class was quite an experience. The turnout was lower than expected, but I still gained the experience of cooking food for 12 people for a solid 7 hours. Needless to say, my feet and back are tired, but it was great. I am separating the three courses into three different posts, and I hope you all enjoy the recipes. Before everyone came, I took out some interesting reading materials and also laid out some of my go-to paleo products so people could see some of the food I eat and ingredients I use.
We started off the feast with salmon cakes/patties/burgers/whatever. I am going crazy over this canned wild salmon I found at Trader Joes, and I'm sure I will come up with some other salmon recipes over the next few weeks. Salmon cakes are incredibly easy to make, and they are perfect for leftovers. You can have one over scrambled eggs for breakfast, with a salad and sliced avocado for lunch, and with some roasted broccoli and a sweet potato for dinner! This is making me hungry...
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 5-7 strawberries, chopped
- 1 lime
- Salt, pepper, & garlic powder
- Two 14.5 oz. cans of wild salmon
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. coconut flour
- 2 Tbsp. dill
- 1 lemon
- Salt, pepper, & garlic powder
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Mix avocado, tomatoes, strawberries, and lime juice in a mixing bowl
3. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
4. Refrigerate so flavors meld while you prepare the salmon cakes
5. Add canned salmon to a large mixing bowl. Note that this wild salmon from Trader Joes (only $2.99!) has skin and bones. You can mash it all together to get the full health benefits.
6. Add onion, egg(s), coconut flour, dill, lemon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder
7. Mix well with a fork, and then dive in with your hands to solidify the mixture
8. Form into patties and arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet
9. Bake for 30 minutes and then remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes
10. Serve with a dollop (or two) of salsa

Cybercriminals update Pony Loader malware to steal your bitcoins
The Pony Loader malware has been updated to v2.0 and has nasty new tricks to help compromise users and steal bitcoins. The updated version is able to compromise a large group of different cryptocurrency wallets, including Litecoin, Namecoin, Terracoin, Goldcoin, Junkcoin, and Anoncoin.
To counter this new malware threat, it's recommend users update to the newest bitcoin client, which gives users a way to encrypt private keys with passphrases.
"Given the capability to steal stored credentials from a wide variety of software, users should consider storing their passwords and bitcoin private keys using these programs risky," said Isaac Palmer, Damballa malware reserve engineer, in a blog post.
Security companies warn of the evolution of malware, designed to compromise users quickly and silently. Attacking cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, is popular because the funds are stored electronically and security is still improving.

Check out Our ADVENT RESOURCES:
AND get I Am Only the Messenger for free.
74-page book filled with ideas for engaging the entire congregation in hearing and learning THE WORD.
$4.75 per congregation
Five-act play written for a 7-member cast. Each act calls for only two or three cast members, making it easier to schedule rehearsals.
Welcome Is A Verb! is a three-module training to help congregations create an intentional evangelism plan with the resources they already have.
Evangelism is often taken for granted. Members think the pastors are responsible. Pastors think members should work harder at it. THE RESULT: We tend to hang a welcome sign by the door and go about business as usual.
We can't take welcoming for granted any longer.
Declining statistics have worn down morale. Changing demographics, culture and expectations create daunting challenges. Often small congregations don't know where to begin. Yet small churches have a lot to offer. We just need a plan!
Welcome Is A Verb! provides an Intentional Plan for Church Growth
MODULE ONE starts by assessing every aspect of current church culture as it affects our ability to reach out.
MODULE TWO provides a checklist to help congregations see their ministry through the eyes of outsiders.
MODULE THREE contains practical ideas for crafting an intentional and measurable welcoming plan with the resources on hand.

by Doug Holder artist
Multi-talented artist and writer Tori Weston dropped by my usual table at the Bloc 11 Cafe in Union Square. We were there to talk about her creative work. Tori, is a thoughtful woman, with an easy smile, and seemed to be somewhere in her early 40s.
Weston—originally from Rhode Island—moved to Somerville from Cambridge, Ma. And she has lived here for 12 years. She told me that she loves the Somerville arts community and has participated in the Open Studio events both as a participant and volunteer. She said, " Somerville is an easy place to connect with people."
Weston got her MFA from Emerson College in Boston. There—she counts as her mentors—Senior Writers in Residence, Richard Hoffman and Margot Livesey. As for Hoffman, Weston said, " Richard started each class with a poem. He intensively reviews the work that is submitted to him. He made sure we were all 'ready' to write our stories-- both from the personal aspect and the audience's perspective. He always discusses the impact the story will have on the audience."
As for the Scottish novelist Margot Livesey, Weston offered an anecdote, " Once in class a white student said that my characters did not sound 'black.' Livesey asked the student, ' What do you think a black character should sound like?' The white student had no answer. Livesey focused on the writing—not whether the writer was black or not. I appreciated that."
This Somerville writer is a painter as well. She studied independently—taking classes at the Museum School. She also studied with a Somerville artist Carolyn Musket, who owns the Musket Studios on Cedar Street. Weston told me that she is currently engaged with litho printmaking. She said that this process uses an aluminum plate or stone, where an image is cast in ink. Weston reflected, " The process is like writing. Things can end up very differently than what you started out with." Weston told me about one print she completed called, " City Girls." In her depiction the girls wear hoodies. " The simple act of wearing a hoodie transforms the traditional idea of femininity. When girls wear hoodies—there is certain grit or confidence about them. You own yourself more."
Weston told me about a print of hers that was displayed at the Open Studios. It depicted the bodies of black women. Inside the bodies were were negative stereotypical words associated with black women, like: "Mammy," " Brown Sugar", etc... But on the outside the bodies have hopeful words, like, " Soul Sister, " Classy, " " Mother of Civilization," etc...
Weston writes personal essays as well—one of which was published in the online magazine, "Sleet." The essay dealt with her own childhood abuse. Weston paused, " It took me three years to write it it. It is hard to make people understand the trauma of this kind of thing."
Weston works at Emerson College in Boston. She runs a pre-college program for high school students. The program teaches kids acting, theater, film making, etc... Weston was inspired to start this program at Emerson from a program she was in years ago at Brown University. She said, " it opened up my world."
Undoubtedly Weston open up more worlds for kids and adults—through her writing and art.

A 35-year-old man was bludgeoned to death in front of his father for eloping with his loved one, who was forcibly married to another boy three months ago.kolkata Updated: Sep 13, 2012 11:53 IST
A 35-year-old man was bludgeoned to death in front of his father for eloping with his loved one, who was forcibly married to another boy three months ago.
The 'execution' took place within half-an-hour of a hastily assembled 'kangaroo' court at Pahunshi village under Kursakanta police station in Araria district of northeastern Bihar, pronouncing the 'guilty' verdict on Sunday. Gobind Singh, a resident of Madhubani village under the same police station, was clubbed to death by the villagers at the instigation of Baldeo Singh, the father of the girl.
"The whereabout of the couple was traced which led us to Punjab from where the two were lured back to the village on the promise that they would be allowed to marry with social sanction. Gobind was later executed in the presence of his father", police said. An FIR has been lodged against 18 people connected to this. Kishanganj's superintendent of police RK Mishra said on Wednesday that one person was arrested and a special police team had been set up to arrest the other accused.
"We'll ensure speedy trial of the accused and the guilty will be brought to book at the earliest," he told HT. A deputy superintendent of police (DSP)-rank officer had been assigned to look into the case. Describing the incident as 'barbaric', Araria subdivisional police officer Hari Shankar Kumar said that raids were on to arrest the others accused in the senseless killing. Sources said that the girl was in love with Gobind but her family had forced her to marry Bechan Singh of Sikatia village, about three months ago. But the lovers eloped two weeks ago.
"The girl's family members thought the elopement maligned their image and had taken a vow to teach Gobind and his family a lesson", a source familiar with the case said. Their whereabouts were soon traced which led the police team to Punjab and they were convinced to return to their village. Upon returning Gobind was beaten to death after being pronounced 'guilty.' "All this happened in front of my eyes. I begged them to spare my son's life but they laughed at me", a sobbing Baldeo Singh said.

Twenty Years of al-Salafiyya-al-Jihadiyya
New York- It's been twenty long years since Eyad Ismail, Ramzi Yousef and co drove that Ford Econoline Ryder rental van through the Holland Tunnel from Jersey City and parked a massive urea urea nitrate bomb in the parking garage of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Today was a quiet anniversary of an event largely forlorn in America's national collective conscience in the shadow of the much more dramatic 9/11 attacks.
That wintry day two decades ago, the United States faced the beginning of a poorly outlined struggle against the decentralized doctrinal ideology of al-Salafiyya-al-Jihadiyya [Salafi-jihad]-a form of Islamism that articulates violent means to achieve political gains.
One of the points about the Sunni jihadi attack on New York in the winter of 1993 is that it marked an unexpected pivot from the perceived threat of highly centralized millenarian Shia revolutionaries and resistance terrorism epitomized by the rise of the clerical regime in Iran in 1979 and the formation of Hezbollah in Lebanon in 1982.
This suited America's so-called 'moderate' Sunni or Sunni-dominated allied nation-states just fine. These regimes could be free to espouse anything from the export of the Wahhabiyya strain of Salafism that serves at the state theology in Saudi Arabia and Qatar to the Marxist-tinged radical Arab socialism emblematic of the Hizb-al-Ba'ath (Ba'ath Party) or the post-Nasserist-turned-personality cult regimes of Egypt and the Maghreb. That was of course until these ideas either collided with American foreign policy as in the case of Iraq or collapsed under their own weight as in the case of Tunisia.
A friend who was stationed for the U.S. State Department in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province-where the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing took place-and later Bahrain, privately hinted to me this view of the Shia threat had changed little at least in some official channels even while the U.S. was propping up a succession of Shia prime ministers in its Iraq project and its Special Forces had fought alongside Shia irregulars to oust the Taliban in northern Afghanistan.
But while the United States has done a great deal to degrade Ba'athism by invading Iraq in both 1991 and 2003 and aiding Syrian rebels bent on demolishing the Ba'ath in Syria at present, for instance, American foreign policy still remains fixated on Iran and Hezbollah and would still not dare challenge the vitriolic Wahhabism prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula. Though it is a fool's errand to pit absolutist wings of Islam's great schism against one another for purely hypothetical purposes, it has been transnational Salafism that has attacked the American homeland in 1993 and 2001 and in East Africa in 1998 and Yemen in 2000. If the two fronts of radical Islamism were simplistically made analogous to the space race, Khomeini may have successfully launched Sputnik first, but it was bin Laden who put a man on the moon.
We should be reminded that the 1993 attack was connected to 9/11 through the common thread of Khalid Sheikh Muhammed (KSM as he came to be referred to in intelligence jargon-inflected reporting) who is currently in the pre-trial hearing phase of the never ending, apparently never closing saga at the sweltering detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
Though Yousef and the other 1993 plotters were not known to be formally pledged members of a then fairly embryonic al-Qaeda, they certainly were connected to the Peshawar-based jihadi nexus borne out of the CIA and Saudi funded anti-Soviet jihad that took place west of the Durand Line. The radicalization of the Masjid al-Farooq in Brooklyn and its refugee center-cum-Office of Services set-up visited by Abdullah Azzam was a definite factor in the 1993 plot. While the trial of the five accused al-Qaeda men in Cuba (KSM, Walid bin Attash, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ammar al-Baluchi, and Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi) is referred to by the United States government as a "9/11 trial" In sense, it dates back the events of 1992-1993 in Brooklyn and Jersey CIty involving the men linked to KSM and the original plot against New York City.
Though there are conflicts about some of the precise specifics, one of Omar Abdel Rahman's sons, Mohammed Omar Abdel-Rahman was nabbed (by the CIA, the Pakistanis or a mix of the two) in Quetta, Pakistan around the time of KSM's apprehension when Pakistani authorities were hunting KSM. Mohammed Omar Abdel-Rahman is now a free man back at home in Egypt after having been listed as one of the CIA's "ghost prisoners" (as was KSM) in 2005. He was released by the Mubarak regime in 2010.
KSM was apprehended in Rawalpindi, Pakistan ten years ago (though alternate sources may say he was actually captured in Quetta a month prior and the news of his arrest delayed by Pakistani authorities). His and four other co-conspirators' painfully deliberating preliminary hearings has been described as being in "discord." From what information does come out of the proceedings, it has partly the air of a circus what with Walid bin Attash (a.k.a. Khallad) making multiple outbursts about violations of attorney-client privilege and his defense lawyer wrapped in "a black abaya out of respect to the religious sensibilities of her client" according to a Guardian report.
The Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg describes the awkward goings on at Guantánamo as primarily focused on the ways in which the five suspects were captured and the conditions under which they were detained before being exfiltrated from "black sites" to the American naval base on Cuba's southeastern coast. In other words, these proceedings are not about 9/11 .
The Truth Left Behind-The Debut of the Pearl Project
Washington D.C.- This morning the Pearl Project- an investigation into the murder of WSJ reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan nine years ago-debuts today and I'm proud to say it received top billing on today's Washington Post homepage. I worked on the investigation at its outset in February and March of 2008 in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. The project was produced by a group of 32 students and two professional correspondents at Georgetown University in conjunction with the Center for Public Integrity. The report in its entirety can be seen here. Jane Perlez has a piece in today's New York Times here and Ben Farmer from The Telegraph has a piece datelined from Kabul here. The investigation was run by Asra Q. Nomani and Barbara Feinman Todd and again, I'm happy to have had the opportunity to be a part of it. Additionally, Nomani has a piece on the Daily Beast here and Bloomberg's Tony Cappacio and Flavia Krause-Jackson have a piece here.

"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan

Food For Thought
I've been doing some research lately on homeschooling in the Montessori tradition vs. sending your child to a Montessori school.
I've found a variety of opinions but haven't yet decided what I prefer to do with my own child.
In this search I've stumbled upon the term "unschooling". It hasn't been the first time I've heard the term; this time I just did a little more research on it.
I find there are some similarities between Montessori education and Unschooling.
Here's an interesting quote I thought I would share:

National Volunteer Week Recap
Posted: April 30, 2017
In honor of National Volunteer Week (April 23-April 29), we profiled JCHE volunteers who play a critical role in helping JCHE foster vibrant communities that allow seniors to live a full life of connection and purpose in a dynamic, supportive environment.
JCHE hosts a volunteer training on the first Monday of every month. If you have interest, talent, skills, and time to share, we'd love to see you at one of these training sessions, where you will discover how you can enrich your own life while touching the lives of others.
RSVP to Kate White at email@example.com. To see the diverse volunteer opportunities we offer, click here.
April 28
Russian speaking residents joined Boston University students enrolled in "Russian in Boston"--a new course that challenges students to immerse in Boston's Russian culture--for the Russian Department's end of year celebration!
Over the last month, students and JCHE residents met weekly over tea and talked (in Russian, of course!) about their lives and experiences. The students made a video of these get-togethers, which we will be showing at our Brighton Campus in May.
At the party, the students recited poetry by Boris Pasternak and Alexander Pushkin, and showed residents some of their other student project videos.
We look forward to working with BU's Russian Department in the future!
April 27
Tufts Health Plan hosted JCHE at the annual Tufts Health Plan volunteer fair. We are thrilled to partner with an organization that places such a big emphasis on community service. We look forward to hosting Tufts Health Plan for their company-wide service day on June 20th at our Coleman House in Newton and our Shillman House in Framingham.
April 26
As part of our "Generations Together" program and commitment to expanding our volunteer network, students studying Mandarin Chinese at Weston's Rivers high school visited our Mandarin-speaking Brighton residents to help make dumplings, while practicing their Mandarin skills!
We host these get-togethers approximately every six weeks, and they're incredibly valuable for students and residents alike.
Students benefit from practicing conversational Mandarin with native speakers, and our residents derive joy and fulfillment from mentoring students who are interested in their language and culture.
April 25
For 17 years, Sofya Raskina has taught English grammar to JCHE residents at our Brighton campus. And for the past 10 years, she has taught U.S. history to residents preparing to take their U.S. citizenship test.
Her wonderful volunteer work is all the more impressive when you consider that when she immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus, Sofya didn't speak any English and knew virtually nothing about U.S history.
Exemplifying the determination that defines the immigrant experience, Sofya resolved to become proficient in English. While studying English at Bunker Hill Community College, she developed a passion for U.S. history and soon became a history buff!
April 24
Over the last four years, JCHE volunteer Carol has hosted a Current Events Club every week at our Shillman House in Framingham and at our Coleman House in Newton. Engaging residents in lively conversations about the latest news, Carol brings energy and enthusiasm to each session that our residents truly appreciate.

Branding and identity for a fictional music group
The objective of this course was to experiment with branding and identity, exploring the branding process, and applying it to a functional design structure for a band of our own creation. The band I came up with was "sealionstigersharks&bears," an indie-rock band comprised of four math nerds, originating from Boston, who's music is heavily inspired by anything they deem "awesome." I created three posters for their upcoming tour, all the venues being located at zoos along the East Coast, where all the information is given in simple math problems. Along with the posters, I created a vinyl record for them, buttons for merchandise, and a album promo video.
For the band's logo, I combined the band's affinity for mathematics, and love for awe-inspiring (plain awesome) animals.
The posters outlined the band's upcoming tour "Oh My" along the East Coast, all the venues being located at local zoos (where else?). Ticket prices, dates, and times are all given in basic math equations.
The record's theme played off of the band's name, becoming a modern day, "hipster" recreation of the Wizard of Oz, replacing the main characters with members of the band. The packaging is made of recycled paper, and contains two double sided records and a accordion style lyric booklet.
Buttons were to be handed out on the day of the concerts.
Album Promotional Video: The video was creating by splicing together various footage from The Wizard of Oz, and the band Post War Years's song "Whole World On Its Head," an accurate representation of the genre of music that sealiontigersharks&bears falls into.

Seagate has unveiled a new lineup of hard drives that offer up to 10TB of storage. Called the Guardian series, Seagate's new drives can be used in multiple platforms including desktops, laptops, NAS boxes and surveillance systems. The drives include BarraCuda Pro, IronWolf and SkyHawk, and offer industry standard speeds and cache sizes.
Read the complete press release below:
Seagate has now come up with a new range of hard drives with up to 10TB of capacity. They represent a 2TB increase over the capacity of its previous hard drives in the small business and consumer category.
The high-capacity drives, called the Guardian Series, are meant for laptops, desktops, network-attached storage (NAS) and surveillance systems.
The new line of hard drives, the Guardian Series, consists of BarraCuda Pro desktop drive, the Seagate IronWolf for NAS applications and the Seagate SkyHawk for video surveillance systems.
The speed, of the resurrected BarraCuda line of hard disk drives, ranges from 5,900rpm to 7,200rpm and capacities range from 500GB to 10TB.
The drives also come with 16GB to 64GB of DRAM cache, depending on the overall capacity. They are being offered in 2.5-in. laptop form factors which is 7mm thick, small enough for ultrathin notebooks; it offers up to 2TB of capacity. Also, BarraCuda drive comes in 3.5-in. desktop sizes.
Besides, Seagate has also announced a new drive, called BarraCuda Pro, which also has up to 10TB of capacity. The drive has a 7,200rpm spindle speed and a data transfer rate of up to 220MB/s. It comes with a five-year limited warranty.
The updated BarraCuda drive line will offer sustained data transfer rates of up to 210MB/s.
Another one in the Guardian Series is IronWolf. Seagate has refreshed its NAS drive lineup, for small businesses, with the IronWolf brand. The IronWolf brand is aimed at NAS devices with one to 16 drive bays and comes with up to 10TB of capacity and Seagate's AgileArray (formely NASworks) software on it.
AgileArray software supports error recovery controls, power management and vibration tolerance for reliable usage when used in multi-bay NAS devices.
The IronWolf is rated for up to 180TB of writes per year and the drive can also power down into a sleep mode while not being used.
Moreover, IronWolf comes with a Rescue Data Recovery Service plan that protects against data loss from viruses, software issues, or electrical and mechanical breakdowns in a NAS or RAID environment. A failed drive can be sent back to Seagate where its in-house "Rescue Service" will attempt to retrieve data.
The drive comes with a three-year limited warranty.
SkyHawk HDD, Seagate's new lineup, is a rebrand of the previous Sv35 series video surveillance hard drive. The new drive has a spindle speed of 7,200rpm and comes with a storage capacity of up to 10TB for storing up to 10,000 hours of HD video.
It also comes with ImagePerfect firmware from MTC Technology. The main purpose of the firmware is to power down the drive when not in use in a bid to reduce heat generation and excessive power consumption. The HDD then powers up quickly to provide uninterrupted recording.
The SkyHawk drives use rotational vibration sensors to help minimize read/write errors quite similar to that of IronWolf. Designed for modern, high-resolution systems running 24X7, SkyHawk drives also come with a data recovery services option.
The 10TB SkyHawk HDD also supports up to 180TB worth of data writes per year and has a three-year limited warranty.

Sebastian Vettel wins Belgian Grand Prix 2013
Sebastian Vettel overtook pole sitter Lewis Hamilton in the Kemmel straight and there after comfortably maintained his lead to win the Belgian Grand Prix at spa. Fernando Alonso made a good start from his P9 starting position and came second. Pole sitter Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes finished on third position.
Rain evaded the Belgian Grand Prix and hence the results were not as interesting as yesterday's qualifying. Predictably Sebastian Vettel comfortably maintained his lead after overtaking in the first lap.
Mark Webber didn't have a good start and finished at 5th position. His season seems to be finishing in a whimper. Too often this year we have seen either the Red Bull messing up pit stops of Mark Webber or some problem cropping up in his car. So he must be having some relief at getting a few points in this race.
Jenson Button finished at sixth. Felipe Massa finished at 7th. Romain Grosjean finished on 8th. He must have been surprised to be pushed off the track by Sergio Perez as Grosjean in 2012 was known for his rash driving and was even banned for a race. Perez was duly handed a penalty which pushed him down and he eventually finished out of points at 11. Adrian Sutil finished at 9th. Daniel Ricciardo of Toro Rosso who is in the running to get the Red Bull seat vacated by Mark Webber next year, had a terrible qualifying yesterday. However, he managed to get the 10th place and importantly finish ahead of his team mate Jean-Eric Vergne who finished at 12th.
This race also saw Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus retiring from the race. Earlier his car was seen throwing black dust from the front brake. This ended his record breaking run of 27 straight points finishes.

At last week's Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards, Star 107.9 in Cambridge rather lived up to its name, scooping both Station of the Year (under 300,000 listeners) and Presentation Newcomer for its mid-morning host Ryan Taylor . Back in the studio yesterday, Taylor was sounding bowled over: "I'm a very, very happy man indeed."
Mind you, Taylor sounds chirpy about everything. The Love at 11 feature is, he enthused, "a great opportunity to emotionally touch someone special". Before a track by The Killers - which other stations have been playing for yonks - he sounded astonished at his good fortune in being able to announce it was "another new track added to the playlist". It's easy to knock such good cheer, but Taylor is a steady, sunny guide through the morning.
It's also good to hear a radio newcomer rewarded, and radio needs to promote its own more, instead of shipping in TV talent. Star 107.9 is a good local station, if you can bear the very specific ads ("East Anglia's fastest-growing embroidery company!"), with a buzzy, chummy air. The awards ceremony, said Taylor, was "one of the biggest nights of our lives". Nicely, he still seemed to be reeling from its magnitude.

Information: What happens in the brain of tango dancers as they glide and swirl? Tango is synchronization, two bodies connected through the embrace, moving as one. But are dancers' brainwaves synchronized too? On March 26th, neuroscientist Suzanne Dikker will allow us to peer into tango dancers' minds in a live experiment showing their brain activity in real time. Three couples will be fitted with wireless headsets that will sense their brain waves and transmit them to a computer as they dance. Brain wave synchronization—or lack thereof—in each couple will be translated into dynamic visualizations projected on the walls.
Time: March 26, 2014, 8:00pm
