Hi folks,
last week Microsoft launched the Windows 8 Developer Preview at the BUILD Conference in Anaheim, CA.
The first thing that you will notice is the new so called "Metro Style" UI with its "Live Tiles". This UI should look somewhat familiar to you if you use a Windows Phone 7. Windows 8 still provides the "old" desktop as well.
As an embedded developer I am particularly interested in Windows 8's ARM SoC (System-On-Chip) support. So far Windows 8 runs on ARM based SoCs from NVIDIA, Qualcomm as well as Texas Instruments. As of now those SoCs supporting Windows 8 consist of a CPU and a GPU only. So far the only ARM based devices that Windows 8 was shown on are Tablet PCs. I am really eager to see how (and if) Windows 8 will be brought into the embedded world…
Windows 8 also comes with a new framework to develop "Metro Style Apps", called Windows Runtime (WinRT). The classical application development frameworks like Win32, .NET Framework, Silverlight and HTML5 are still available.
Unlike any of the classical application development frameworks, the new WinRT allows you to develop your "Metro Style App" in any language you prefer, based on the same framework (namly WinRT), allowing a better interaction between "Metro Style Apps".
So go ahead: download and play around with the Windows 8 Developer preview!
Have fun!

Mold and Die Laser Welding Michigan
Mold and Die Laser Welding Repair Hits the Right Spot Every Time.
It's Much Cooler Than You Think.
If you're in the metal stamping industry, chances are you regularly deal with your molds and dies cracking and breaking. Because of this, you may need to make engineering changes. Have you heard the many benefits to mold and die laser welding repair?
According to an article by Carl B. Miller, U.S. Laser Corporation, many manufacturers are hesitant to use laser welding because they may not be as familiar with the technology. Miller states an estimate of 2,000 laser machine tools are currently being used for welding, drilling, and cutting. As more manufacturing leaders discover the benefits of laser welding, that number could grow to 30,000 by 2030.
Compared to traditional welding applications, laser welding offers several key benefits:
Traditional Welding Method vs. The Benefits of Laser Welding
Gas Metal Arc Welding
It has a much lower distortion rate.
You don't need to use additional filler.
It offers a faster welding rate.
You only need to make a single pass for two-sided welding.
Electron Beam Welding
It offers shorter cycles and higher uptimes.
Does not need to be performed in a vacuum.
It can weld magnetic materials.
It does not require radiation shielding.
Submerged Arc Welding
You do not need to use flux or additional filler.
It offers lower distortion.
This method is much faster.
Resistance Welding
This method is non-contact so it prevents debris buildup.
The laser can reach typically inaccessible locations.
It is much faster to complete the job.
We have posted several videos for you to see firsthand how efficient and accurate our laser welding process is.
The most important thing you should take away from this article is that laser welding results in very little distortion or scribe lines in the mold or finished tool.
If you're looking for a precise and fast solution for your mold and die laser welding repair, Accurate Welding offers you skilled tradesmen who perform the job right with the newest technology. We've been offering complete welding and fabricating solutions since 1975 we continue to strive to be the industry leader in quality and on-time delivery!

Educational standards outline the knowledge and abilities students should possess at important points in their educational career. Standards function a basis of educational reform across the nation as educators and coverage makers respond to the decision for a clear definition of desired outcomes of education and a strategy to measure student success when it comes to these outcomes" (Nationwide Analysis Council 2001). National, state and local educators play an necessary function in bettering student learning by improvement and implementation of requirements all through the nation. The instructing classroom was furnished with a still camera, television monitor on which I could see myself as I spoke, a pc, an Elmo overhead projector, a TELEVISION-VCR used to point out videos to students in the classroom and at distant sites, and a Xerox Dwell Works(C) board. The latter instrument features very like a white board on which the trainer can write or show slide presentations. Pupil tables in any respect sites have been furnished with microphones that enabled them to take part in school discussions or ask questions of the teacher.
That statement is simply as related in at the moment's scenario because it was when Woodson made it! As a matter of fact it could be copied and utilized by the present Director of the Affiliation and it will be true besides that the demand for services has increased a thousand-fold. The research of the Black man is still new on this era, however such advances as have been made are in large part because of the imaginative and prescient, insight, writings, and publishing of pioneers like Carter Woodson. Certainly his analyses and conclusions regarding the whole educational system and its unrelatedness to future needs of the students stand firm, on strong floor. They have been extendable to the 1960's, and student attitudes and actions make it fairly clear that the reasoning and proposals of Mis-Education represent a handy level of departure for the present reformation of educational institutions.
College students could have a chance to learn how to navigate the Bear Tracks system for the purpose in fact registration, build a first-12 months schedule, and ask UAlberta advisors questions. Students must have accepted their admission supply with a purpose to access course schedule information. Atojoko, S. (2007). Taming the monster. TELL, Nigeria's Impartial Weekly (Free Copy, May 14, p. 20).
Having learn that, I assumed, 'Nicely, could not we all do with some 'mindfulness', particularly if the strategies described work?" They don't seem to be rocket science. We are able to all practise them. They merely take us to a journey of consciousness of our own perceptions of ourselves and our skills, in order that we can rationally analyse our perceptions of others and the world.
America is unique. We are a melting pot of immigrants. With each new wave of immigrants, our country is made better and richer and stronger. Have you ever wonder why so many different nationalities have come and succeeded and yet many black residents seems to be left behind. How is it that an immigrant who cannot communicate our language, arrive here with little assets and yet after a couple of brief years become successful? What is their secret? Why can't some of our own citizens obtain the identical? My private believe is that our current social insurance policies have stifled the poor and trapped them in a perpetual state of poverty.

Working after cancer
As many as 63,000 people living with cancer today want to work, but are encountering barriers that prevent them because the right support isn't in place for them or their employers (Oxford Economic research carried out on behalf of Maggie's and Unum).
If the right support was in place, by 2030, an additional 136,000 people with cancer who want to work could. This would contribute an additional £3.5bn to the UK economy.
That's why we're pleased to be partnering with Maggie's - a charity that offers free emotional, practical and social support to people with cancer and their families and friends – to help put this support in place. To help employees get back to work when they are ready and talk to their employers, we've developed these handy guides to help.
If you have a question about returning to work after cancer or another long term illness, Joy Reymond, Head of Rehabilitation Services for Unum and Lesley Howells, Centre Head and Consultant Clinical Psychologist for Maggie's are on hand to offer their advice.

Providing Laboratory Services
The Isotope Hydrology Laboratory (IHL) of the Water Resources Programme, located at the Vienna International Centre provides isotopic analytical services to the IAEA and its water resource development programmes and expert technical advice to member states to help ensure the quality of isotope hydrology measurements conducted in laboratories around the globe.
Since 1995, over 50 countries have benefited from IAEA supported acquisition of new or upgraded isotope hydrology analytical facilities. To promote the adoption of isotopic methods into water resource assessments, the IHL also provides technical advice and hands-on training to Member States. Accordingly, the IHL conducts global laboratory proficiency testing for stable isotope and tritium assays, and provides participating laboratories with test samples and software to help improve their analytical performance. The laboratory provides global leadership through testing of new technological isotopic measurement advances in the areas of laser absorption spectroscopy, isotope-ratio mass-spectrometry, radio-isotopes, the noble gases and their rare isotopes.
The IHL also provides analytical support to the Water Resource Programme's global hydrology monitoring networks, including the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP), and the Global Network of Isotopes in Rivers (GNIR). Isotopic data produced by the IHL are contributed to the GNIP and GNIR databases, data which is made available cost-free to Member States via the internet. The IHL supports Technical Cooperation (TC) projects by facilitating isotopic analytical services for δ2H, δ18O, δ13C, noble gases, tritium, and CFCs.
Analytical Facilities
The Isotope Hydrology Laboratory (IHL) houses state-of-the-art analytical equipment for the collection and measurement of stable and radiogenic isotopes and noble gases from water and hydrological samples for global programmes (GNIP/GNIR),for use in coordinated research projects (CRPs), ground water age dating, and for the purposes of global isotope laboratory proficiency testing.
Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry
The Isotope Hydrology Laboratory (IHL) houses two large sector static mass spectrometers for precise determination of noble gas isotope abundances dissolved in groundwater. The systems are optimized for accepting gas samples collected by passive diffusion samplers and portable membrane contactor samplers, or using a gas extraction system for water samples collected by copper tube samplers. The mass spectrometers are integrated with ultra-high vacuum gas purification systems and cryogenic traps that separate each noble gas for mass spectroscopic analysis by a sector mass spectrometer for helium isotopes and by quadrupole mass spectrometers for heavier noble gases. Operation and data acquisition of entire system is fully automated for maximum sample throughput.
Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
Laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) is a newly developed technology that offers a low cost, high-precision, method for the measurement of δ2H and δ18O in ground and surface water samples using optical methods. The IHL currently houses Off-Axis and Cavity Ring Down laser spectrographs for routine water isotope analyses, and operates a dedicated laser lab for instructional training courses for staff in Member State laboratories.
Stable Isotope-Ratio Mass Spectrometry
Ultra-high precision stable isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) is used for many decades for the measurement of stable isotopes in water and its dissolved constituents, like δ2H and δ18O in water and δ13C in dissolved inorganic carbon. The IHL currently houses a dual-inlet IRMS system with a CO2-H2O and H2-H2O equilibration device for the automated H and O isotope analyses of liquid water samples.
Radioactive tritium and its decay product 3He is used to precisely age date ground water resources over a 60-year time period. 81Kr is used to date very old fossil groundwater to at millennium timeframes. The IHL houses analytical facilities for conventional and enriched tritium analyses and for 3He by mass spectrometry, radon-222, and has developed new custom field collection devices for the extraction and collection of Kr and other radiogenic gases from groundwater for external isotopic assays.
CFC's and Radon-222
The IHL houses a CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) gas-chromatograph system for measuring CFCs as tracers in hydrological investigations and age dating of recent ground water. Additionally, the IHL has field portable 222Rn instrument used to quantify surface and ground water interactions.
Software and Training
LIMS for Lasers
The IHL has partnered with the U.S. Geological Survey to develop a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) system for water oxygen and hydrogen isotopes analyses for users of laser absorption spectrographs. LIMS for Lasers is a user-friendly data management system for all off-axis (OA-ICOS) or cavity ring-down (CRDS) laser absorption spectrographs (LAS) used for δ2H and δ18O assays of water. This software enables new and current users of LAS instruments to improve their laboratory productivity and QA/QC outcomes, and is available cost-free to all laboratories.

Laser Spectroscopy Training
The IHL houses a dedicated water-isotope laser spectroscopy student training facility. Incorporating diverse laser spectrographs and a computer lab, the facility offers week-long courses on the principles, operation, maintenance, and data management of laser absorption spectrographs (LAS) used for δ2H and δ18O assays of water, for up to 10 students from Member States. Currently courses are being offered in the spring and fall via the Technical Cooperation (TC) program.
Laboratory Standards and Field Sampling Devices
Laboratory Measurement Water Standards for Lasers
New laser spectroscopy laboratories frequently have difficulty obtaining appropriately scaled laboratory measurement standards for the daily routine normalization of δ2H and δ18O data from water samples. The IHL assists member state laser laboratories through provision of a supply of ready-to-use pre-calibrated daily-use secondary standards, and provides training in the development of local laboratory standards and the calibration to IAEA's primary reference materials.
Noble Gas Laboratory Standards
The IHL has a large-volume (600L) isothermal air-water equilibration system for production of copper sample tubes containing precise fixed amounts of noble gases dissolved in water. These samples can be used as matrix-equivalent laboratory standards for groundwater analyses by noble gas mass spectrometry. Owing to the size, stability and flexibility of temperature, the IHL can produce a large number of noble gas laboratory water standards for internal and use in Member States.
Tritium Laboratory Standards
As a part of the current tritium intercomparison (TRIC2012), the IHL created a large stock of the six samples containing known amounts of tritium. These samples can be used as quality control laboratory standards, and are available for distribution to assist developing and established tritium laboratories worldwide.
Field Sampling Devices
The IHL conducts R&D on new sampling devices and technologies for noble and radiogenic isotopes. One recently completed device is a gas sampling device that enables the time-efficient field sampling of dissolved gases at the well-head in a field portable design. The device separates dissolved gases from water using membrane contactors and collects them in a small copper tube for analysis by mass spectrometry. The IHL further improved a field sampler for extracting gases from large volumes of water for analysis of radioactive krypton isotopes (81Kr and 85Kr) for groundwater dating purposes. This device compresses the extracted gases into a 12 L liter cylinder in about 1 hour.
VSMOW2 and SLAP2 Primary Water Isotope References
The international primary water isotope reference materials VSMOW2 and VSLAP2, as well as other stable isotope reference materials are currently offered for sale to member states through the IAEA Reference Products commercial web portal (http://nucleus.iaea.org/rpst/).
Global Proficiency Testing
The Isotope Hydrology Laboratory organises proficiency testing for Member State laboratories engaged in the analyses of stable and radioactive isotopes commonly used in hydrology. These multi-year exercises are a core part of IAEA's goals to promote quality assurance and improve the reliability and comparability of isotope measurements.
The IHL recently completed the 2012 Water Isotope Intercomparision (WICO) proficiency test. The WICO tests are conducted approximately every four years and are used to test the performance of laboratories around the world that conduct measurements of δ2H and δ18O in liquid water samples.

Abstract. This paper presents a new signature forgery strategy.
The attack is a sophisticated variant of Desmedt-Odlyzko's method 11]
where the attacker obtains the signatures of m1 ; : : : ; m ?1 and exhibits
the signature of an m which was never submitted to the signer; we
assume that all messages are padded by a redundancy function before
being signed.
Before interacting with the signer, the attacker selects smooth1 (mi )-
values and expresses (m ) as a multiplicative combination of the padded
strings (m1 ); : : : ; (m ?1 ). The signature of m is then forged using the
homomorphic property of RSA.
A padding format that di ers from iso 9796-1 by one single bit was bro-
ken experimentally (we emphasize that we could not extend our attack
to iso 9796-1); for iso 9796-2 the attack is more demanding but still
much more e cient than collision-search or factoring.
For din ni-17.4, pkcs #1 v2.0 and ssl-3.02, the attack is only theo-
retical since it only applies to speci c moduli and happens to be less
e cient than factoring; therefore, the attack does not endanger any of
these standards.
1 Introduction
At a recent count (http://www.rsa.com), over 300 million RSA-enabled prod-
ucts had been shipped worldwide. This popularity, and the ongoing standard-
izations of signature and encryption formats 2, 13, 20, 21, 22, 36] highlight
the need to challenge claims that such standards eradicate RSA's multiplicative
1 an integer is `-smooth if it has no bigger factors than `.
Exponentiation is homomorphic and RSA-based protocols are traditionally
protected against chosen-plaintext forgeries 9, 11, 35] by using a padding (or
redundancy) function to make sure that :
RSA( (x)) RSA( (y)) 6= RSA( (x y)) mod n
In general, (x) hashes x and concatenates its digest to pre-de ned strings;
in some cases, substitution and permutation are used as well.
While most padding schemes gain progressive recognition as time goes by,
several speci c results exist : a few functions were broken by ad-hoc analysis
( 16, 24] showed, for instance, that homomorphic dependencies can still appear
in (m) = a m + b) while at the other extreme, assuming that the underlying
building-blocks are ideal, some functions 5, 6] are provably secure in the random
oracle model.
The contribution of this paper is that the complexity of forging chosen
message-signature pairs is sometimes much lower than that of breaking RSA
by frontal attacks (factoring and collision-search). The strategy introduced in
this article does not challenge RSA's traditional security assumptions; instead,
it seeks for multiplicative relations using the expected smoothness of moderate-
size integers (the technique is similar in this respect to the quadratic sieve 33],
the number eld sieve 32] and the index-calculus method for computing discrete
logarithm 1]).
As usual, our playground will be a setting in which the attacker A and the
signer S interact as follows :
A asks S to provide the signatures of ? 1 chosen messages ( being
polylogarithmically-bounded in n). S will, of course, correctly pad all the plain-
texts before raising them to his secret power d.
After the query phase and some post-processing, A must exhibit the sig-
nature of at least one message (m ) which has never been submitted to S.
Previous work : Misarsky's PKC'98 invited survey 30] is probably the best
documented reference on multiplicative RSA forgeries. Davida's observation 9]
is the basis of most RSA forgery techniques. 16, 24] forge signatures that are
similar to pkcs #1 v2.0 but do not produce their necessary SHA/MD5 digests
31, 34]. 15] analyzes the security of RSA signatures in an interactive context.
Michels et al. 28] create relations between the exponents of de Jonge-Chaum
and Boyd's schemes; their technique extends to blind-RSA but does not apply
to any of the padding schemes attacked in this paper. Baudron and Stern 4]
apply lattice reduction to analyze the security of RSA in a security-proof
A Desmedt-Odlyzko variant 11] applicable to padded RSA signatures is
sketched in section 3.5 of 30]. It consists in factoring (m ) into small primes
and obtaining the e-th roots of these primes from multiplicative combinations of
signatures of messages which (mi )-values are smooth. The signature of m is
forged by multiplying the e-th roots of the factors of (m ). The complexity of
this attack depends on the size of and not on the size of n; the approach is thus
inapplicable to padding formats having the modulus' size (e.g. iso 9796-2). In
this paper we extend this strategy to padding schemes for which a linear com-
bination of n and the padded value is small; when applied to William's scheme
our attack allows to factor n.
2 A general outline
Let fn; eg be an RSA public key and d be the corresponding secret key. Although
in this paper will alternatively denote iso 9796-2, pkcs #1 v2.0, ansi x9.31,
ssl-3.02 or an iso 9796-1 variant denoted F, we will start by describing our
attack in a simpler scenario where is SHA-1 or MD5 (in other words, messages
will only be hashed before being exponentiated); the attack will be later adapted
to the di erent padding standards mentioned above.
The outline of our idea is the following : since (m) is rather short (128 or 160
bits), the probability that (m) is `-smooth (for a reasonably small `) is small
but non-negligible; consequently, if A can obtain the signatures of chosen smooth
(mi )-values, then he could look for a message m such that (m ) has no bigger
factors than pk (the k-th prime) and construct (m )d mod n as a multiplicative
combination of the signatures of the chosen plaintexts m1 ; : : : ; m ?1.
The di culty of nding `-smooth digests is a function of ` and the size
of (m). De ning (x; y) = #fv < x, suchpthat v is y-smoothg, it is known
12, 14, 19] that, for large x, the ratio (x; t x)=x is equivalent to Dickman's
function de ned by :
if 0 t 1
(t) = > Zt
(v ? 1) dv if n t n + 1
(n) ?
(t) is thus an approximation of the probability that a u-bit number is 2u=t -
smooth; since (t) is somewhat cumbersome to compute, we refer the reader to
appendix A for a lookup table.
Before we proceed, let us illustrate the concerned orders of magnitude. Re-
ferring to appendix A, we see that the probability that SHA/MD5 digests are
224 -smooth is rather high (= 2?19 ; 2?13); this means that nding smooth di-
gests would be practically feasible. This was con rmed by extensive simulations
as illustrated by :
MD5(message =
30854339 successfully forged)
214 3 53 13 227 1499 1789 2441 4673 4691 9109 8377619
Several heuristics can, of course, accelerate the search : in our experiments, we
factored only digests beginning or ending by a few zeroes; the optimal number
of zeroes being a function of the running times of the attacker's hashing and
factorization algorithms (parallelization is also possible).
In any case, denoting by L the size of the digest and by F(L) the factoring
cost, the complexity of nding pk -smooth digests is :
CL;k = O( (L=F(L)(p )) ) = O( (L=log2 (pk ))) ) = O( (L=log2 (k ln k) )
kL kL
log2 (k ln k))
log2 k log2 (pk
this is justi ed by the fact that pk -smooth L-bit digests are expected only
once per 1= (L= log2 (pk )) and that the most straightforward way to factor L
is k trial divisions by the rst primes (where each division costs L log2 (pi ) bit-
These formulae should, however, be handled with extreme caution for the
following reasons :
Although in complexity terms L can be analyzed as a variable, one should
constantly keep in mind that L is a xed value because the output size of speci c
hash functions is not extensible.
Trial division is de nitely not the best candidate for F(L). In practice, our
program used the following strategy to detect the small factors of (m) : since
very small divisors are very common, it is worthwhile attempting trial and error
division up to pi = 2048 before applying a primality test to (m) (the candidate
is of course rejected if the test fails). As a next step, trial and error division by
primes smaller than 15; 000 is performed and the resulting number is handed-
over to Pollard-Brent's algorithm 7] which is very good at nding small factors.
Since it costs O(ppi ) to pull-out pi using Pollard-Brent's method we can further
bound F(L) by L pk to obtain :
L k ln k
CL;k = O( (L= log (k ln k)) )
3 The attack
The attack applies to RSA and Williams' scheme 37]; we assume that the reader
is familiar with RSA but brie y recall Williams' scheme, denoting by J(x), the
Jacobi symbol of x with respect to n.
In Williams' scheme (m) = 6 mod 16 and :
p = 3 mod 8 e=2
d = (n ? p ? q + 5)=8
q = 7 mod 8
Before signing, S must check that J( (m)) = 1. If J( (m)) = ?1, (m) is
replaced by (m)=2 to guarantee that J( (m)) = 1 since J(2) = ?1.
A signature s is valid if w = s2 mod n is such that :
w w = 6 mod 8
w = 3 mod 8
(m) = > 2w w if
>n ? w = 7 mod 8
2(n ? w) if
w = 2 mod 8
3.1 Finding homomorphic dependencies
The attack's details slightly di er between the RSA and Williams' scheme. For
RSA, ? 1 chosen signatures will yield an additional (m )d mod n while in
Williams' case, chosen signatures will factor n. All chosen messages have the
property that there exists a linear combination of (mi ) and n such that :
ai n ? bi (mi ) is pk -smooth
where bi is pk -smooth as well.
It follows that (mi ) is the modular product of small primes :
p mod n for 1 i
(mi ) = i;j
Let us associate to each (mi ) a k-dimensional vector Vi with coordinates
vi;j taken modulo the public exponent e :
(mi ) 7?! Vi = fvi;1 mod e; : : : ; vi;k mod eg
We can now express, by Gaussian elimination, one of these vectors (re-
indexed as V ) as a linear combination of the others :
˜ X i Vi mod e; with
˜ 2
i e
From equation (1) we get :
v ;j = e for all 1 j k
i i;j j
p? j :
and denoting x = j
(m ) = x (mi ) i mod n
For RSA, the forger will submit the ? 1 rst messages to S and forge the
signature of m by :
=x mod n
(m )d (mi )d i
In Williams' case, the signature of m will be computed from the other
signatures using equation (2) if J(x) = 1, using the fact that :
u = x2d mod n = ?x if x is a square modulo n
x if
=x mod n
(m )d (mi )d (2)
If J(x) = ?1, then u = x mod n and (u ? x)(u + x) = 0 mod n. Since
2 2
J(x) = ? J(u) we have x 6= u mod n and GCD(u ? x; n) will factor n. A can
thus submit the messages to S, recover u, factor n and sign any message.
3.2 Expected complexity
It remains, however, to estimate as a function of k :
In the most simple setting e is prime and the set of vectors with k coordi-
nates over e is a k-dimensional linear space; = k +1 vectors are consequently
su cient to guarantee that (at least) one of the vectors can be expressed as a
linear combination (easily found by Gaussian elimination) of the other vectors.
When e is the r-th power of a prime p, = k+1 vectors are again su cient
to ensure that (at least) one vector can be expressed as a linear combination of
the others. Using the p-adic expansion of the vectors' coe cients and Gaus-
sian elimination on k + 1 vectors, we can write one of the vectors as a linear
combination of the others.
Finally, the previous argument can be extended to the most general case :
e= pri
where it appears that = 1 + !k = O(k log e) vectors are su cient to
guarantee that (at least) one vector is a linear combination of the others; modulo
each of the pri , the attacker can nd a set Ti of (! ? 1)k + 1 vectors, each of
which can be expressed by Gaussian elimination as a linear combination of k
other vectors. Intersecting the Ti and using Chinese remaindering, one gets that
(at least) one vector must be a linear combination of the others modulo e.
The overall complexity of our attack can therefore be bounded by :
CL;k = O( CL;k ) = O( (L=log e (kkln k)) )
Lk ln k
and the attacker can optimize his resources by operating at a k where CL;k
is minimal.
Space complexity (dominated by the Gaussian elimination) is O(k2 log3 e).
4 Analyzing di erent signature formats
4.1 The security of iso/iec-9796-1-like signatures
iso/iec-9796-1 21] was published in 1991 by ISO as the rst international stan-
dard for digital signatures. It speci es padding formats applicable to algorithms
providing message recovery (algorithms are not explicit but map r bits to r bits).
iso 9796-1 is not hashing-based and there are apparently no attacks 16, 18]
other than factoring on this scheme ( 30] : \...iso 9796-1 remains beyond the
reach of all multiplicative attacks known today..."). The scheme is used to sign
messages of limited length and works as follows when n and m are respectively
N = 2 + 1 and -bit numbers and = 4` is a multiple of eight.
De ne by a b the concatenation of a and b, let !i be the i-th nibble of m
and denote by s(x) the hexadecimal substitution table2 :
s(x) = E 3 5 8 9 4 2 F 0 D B 6 7 A C 1
Letting s(x) force the most signi cant bit in s(x) to 1 and s(x) complement
the least signi cant bit of s(x), iso 9796-1 speci es :
(m) = s(!`?1 ) s(!`?2 ) !`?1 !`?2
s(!`?3 ) s(!`?4 ) !`?3 !`?4
s(!3 ) s(!2 ) !3 !2
s(!1 ) s(!0 ) !0 616
The attack that we are about to describe applies to a slight variant of iso
9796-1 where s(x) is replaced by s(x); this variant (denoted F) di ers from iso
9796-1 by one single bit.
Let aj denote nibbles and consider messages of the form :
mi = a6 a5 a4 a3 a2 a1 6616
a6 a 5 a 4 a 3 a 2 a 1 6616
a6 a 5 a 4 a 3 a 2 a 1 6616
which F-padding is :
(mi ) = s(a6 ) s(a5 ) a6 a5 s(a4 ) s(a3 ) a4 a3
s(a2 ) s(a1 ) a2 a1 216 216 616 616
s(a6 ) s(a5 ) a6 a5 s(a4 ) s(a3 ) a4 a3
s(a2 ) s(a1 ) a2 a1 216 216 616 616
2 actually, the bits of s(x) are respectively x3 x1 x0 , x3 x2 x 0 , x3 x 2 x 1
and x2 x1 x0 but this has no importance in our analysis.
Restricting the choice of a6 to the (eight) nibbles for which s = s, we can
generate 223 numbers of the form (mi ) = x ?23 where x is the 8-byte number
s(a6 ) s(a5 ) a6 a5 s(a4 ) s(a3 ) a4 a3 s(a2 ) s(a1 ) a2 a1 226616 and :
?23 = 264i
Section 3 could thus apply (treat ?23 as an extra pi ) as soon as the expecta-
tion of pk -smooth x-values reaches k + 1 :
k + 1 223 (3)
log2 (k ln k)
Using k = 3000 we forged thousands of 1024-bit F-signatures in less than
a day on a Pentium-PC (an example is given in appendix C). The attack is
applicable to any (64 c + 1)-bit modulus and its complexity is independent of
c 2 (once computed, the same x-strings work with any such n).
# of pk -smooth x-values (amongst 223 ) forgeries
345 346 1
500 799 298
1000 3203 2202
1500 6198 4697
2000 9344 7343
2500 12555 10054
3000 15830 12829
Table 1. Experimental F-forgeries for 64-bit x-values, prime e.
The attack is equally applicable to 32, 48, 80, 96 or 112-bit x-strings (which
yield 7, 15, 31, 39 and 47-bit plaintext spaces); a combined attack, mixing x-
strings of di erent types is also possible (this has the drawback of adding the un-
knowns ?7 ; ?15 ; : : : but improves the probability of nding pk -smooth x-strings).
Long plain-English messages ending by the letter can be forged using a more
technical approach sketched in appendix B (6616 represents the ASCII charac-
ter Note, as a mere curiosity, a slight (= 11%) experimental deviation from
formula (3) due to the non-uniform distribution of the x-strings (which most
and least signi cant bits can never be long sequences of zeroes). Finally, since

Khamosh Paani is a movie primarily set in 80's, during Zia's regime, in the Punjab region of Pakistan, briefly traveling between different time zones. It is about a community facing the oppression of a military dictator, communist-capitalist war of ideas, poverty and disorientation.The partition of Indian-subcontinent was indeed a tyranny for women. They were savaged, killed, raped, killed by their own family member to save honor, forced to do suicide again to save honor and traded. The central character is of a Sikh women later named Ayesha snatched from her family during the partition riots, had no choice but to marry a muslim in the Muslims-dominated Pakistan, had a child named Saleem and ironically she ends up teaching Quran to Muslim kids four decades after partition. Her kid grows up in love for a girl his mother is very fond of. Things are rosy till Zia-ul-Haq comes up with his brand of Islam in a country that is marred by a failing economy and a fairly young environment which turns from secular to so-called Islamic in the space of ten years of Jihad against Soviets. The life of Saleem follows the pattern of a typical lower middle class youth of a country struggling with religion and geo-politics. It was indeed no wonder when young Saleem who had fallen head over heels for Ayesha found solace in the extreme ideology of religion and a confused lifestyle. It is not only a look at personal lives of some individuals in difficult circumstances but it is also a commentary on the absurd government controlled religious propaganda radicalizing Pakistan It was interestingly part of the narrative how the young boy changed from a romantic lover to a radical cleric who was serving a higher purpose and had no space of love in his life. The same people with beards, the boy made fun of, gradually fascinated him with their lofty ideas. The flamboyance and energy of the youth turned a corner and started serving something which was beyond comprehension. A woman is forced to marry and a woman decides not to marry in a space of 60 years, from partition to one dictatorship and to another dictatorship, the movie was indeed ironic to begin with and to end up. It also shows hypocretic character of "chaudry "(land lord of certain area) . Movie shows that landlord is allowed to do his anti-islamic activities ; like watching mujra (girl dance show) at his place . The next day the Land lard addresses people and ask them that you people are deviating from Islam and there are some people sent by government to preach you, people are expected to follow their teachings.It shows that purpose of the Government was not to implement Islam in the whole country but purpose was to gather people. This movie also shows that the women were very much effected by new ruling. The movie beautiful portrays different basic human emotions like love, hate, anger, anxiety and confusion. It succeeds in touching upon a difficult time in the history of Pakistan.
Khamosh Paani is a film having a fictional story based on the true events that changed the course of history for Pakistan during the 80's era when a military dictator toppled a civilian government. The events that followed included soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Pakistan and U.S.A joined hands to counter the spread of communism through introducing a Jihadi ideology in Pakistan. The military dictator Zia-ul-haq suited the needs of this new policy shift. Until then the 'Mullahs' were in the back seat just concentrating on religious education of the population. This new policy shift pushed them to the driving seat where they were handed the task of introducing the youth to the 'jihadi brand of Islam'.
It is also the story of disoriented and disgruntled youth looking for a higher purpose in life. Zia was deemed as some kind of holy savior of the only country founded on the name of Islam or such is the prevalent perception. Saudi money was pumped in and a parallel system of education i.e., Madrassah system was set across the country. People were sold the idea of radical islam in the name of global domination of islam, renaissance of the glorious past and exit from, evil and failing capitalist economy. Poor People found it logical to donate one or two kids of theirs to madrassas, some respite from the poverty and a service to Islam; killing two birds with one stone that is to say.In the reign of dictatorship of Zia-ul-haq there were few historical which were changed.for example actually Mohammad Ali Jinnah ideology was secular. Zia-ul-Haq removed secular tag from the ideology of Pakistan and presented Islam as the actual reason of creation of Pakistan. Mohammad Ali Jinnah first speech as Governer general of Pakistan was wrongly quoted. Zia-ul-Haq showed Mohammad Ali Jinnah as a upholder of Islam. Zia-ul-haq also spread that Islamic character was as important as security of Pakistan was. Zia's Islamization was actual turn of islam towards voilence. There was no tolerance when some work is about islam. Women were victimized by these new so called Islamic laws. Women were intolerated in any case,if its against the Islam.
Dr Javed Iqbal said about the ruling of Zia-ul-haq in his book "Islam and Pakistan's Identity" that "Zia's Islamization was based on personal restrictive interpretation of Shariah Laws and it was never subjected to Ijtehad in the parliament. The bulk of Islamic criminal legislation was merely decorative or cosmetic. These laws done nothing but worsened the conditions of women who were victimized under these laws. In brief, the form of Islamization introduced by Zia was a complete departure from the interpretation of Islam favoured by founding fathers of Pakistan. It disseminated intolerance and sectarianism which increased to such an extent,that the rival group of sectarian terrorist did not hesitate to slaughter their fellow muslims even while they were praying in mosque"
In short Zia's take over and execution of Bhutto was another setback to the democracy in Pakistan. Zia made changes in the constitution which were suitable to him. Major change in constitution was that president had powers to dismiss prime minister. In this way he took over all the powers from the prime minister. Military was supreme compared to parliament in Zia's era.

Ghaziabad: Two teenagers who ventured mid-stream in Hindon canal in Ghaziabad to save a man who was drowning, were themselves drowned on Sunday, even as the man whom they had rushed to save, swam out to safety on his own, said the police.
City Superintendent of Police Akash Tomar said the bodies of the two boys, both 17, were fished out by local divers and sent for the post-mortem examination.
The victims were identified as Shivam and Gunjan of Daulat Pura under Sihani Gate police station area.
The police said the duo had gone to take a dip in the Hindon canal near its barrage along with their two other friends Rahul and Akram to beat the heat around 2.30 pm.
While Akram stayed back on the bank to look after his friends' belongings, the three other boys went into the canal.
While taking their bath, the police said, someone on the bank raised an alarm that a man swimming mid-stream was drowning and needed help.
At this Shivan and Gunjan rushed midstream to save the man but were washed away by the strong currents there while the man who was feared to be drowning managed to swim out to safety on his own.
As Akram and Rahul saw their friends drowning, they raised an alarm, prompting some local divers to jump into the canal to save them, but it was too late.

Correction on the release date - November 19th. Look for it in stores and for download on that date. We got the CDs yesterday and they look lovely. Should be posting more songs soon for the listening.
In addition to the Philly and Boston shows, we've added a CD release show in DC at the Black Cat on Nov. 21st, and another in NY with Maritime on Nov. 27th. It'll be weird to watch those Maritime songs from the sidelines.
We took some new pictures the other night, should be around soon, in case you needed pictures or something.
That's it for now. More news about the release as it happens. Our site will have a page with links how to find it.

Essay: My reality.
I finally understand what is meant by: "Anya, take off rose-colored glasses" or," When you will grow up?" Did I behave incorrectly? Many times I have asked myself this question....
I understand, I understand everything and everybody, and who would understand me. I'm not serious, moody... My dreams are only the dreams of a teenager in whom is raging youthful maximalism. Those, that they see around. I can give a money in the debt and to forget for it, it seems to me that I still will pluck a big jackpot, and magnificent success is waiting for me in my life. Great job, lots of money, I will be able to afford everything, countless admirers... That is all I will have, and the time inevitably runs forward and is only a question when? We all are waiting for the inexplicable miracle...
Sometimes I sit and I just know that I'm not ready for my future...
I always wanted to live in Moscow. This city is for me as my soul, though I have never been there, I do not know anything about it, but I know that this is my city! From one its name it intercepts my breath and aches in my chest. When I imagine Moscow, I can smell the city by the cars gas pollution. Center, always in traffic, nervous drivers, always rushing somewhere pedestrians, and of course the evening lights, Red Square... waxed cars, expensive dressed men and shining women...
I know that life, boiling inside the city is for me! I always dreamed about it, to be there, in the spotlight of this city!
While I realize that dreams rarely come true, or come true, but only when we do not need this... But even despite this, I want to believe that this "rare" will occurs with me. And with this faith I live for several years. There was not even one day that I did not think about my dream, realizing that the distance is blame for everything, my dream and faith become the goal and moves me only ahead!
Sometimes I think that if my Moscow was located across the street from my house, I still would not have been ready for it at this stage of my life... It would seem that its here - take it, but even so, my city would have remained out of reach for me.
I know what we need for the last, crucial step. All the matter in the mental balance of faith, faith in yourself, your dream, understanding your goals and readiness for their implementation. I believe that my goal approaching me, and I am rapidly moving to it!
Each person is given a test before give him, what he wants... A person needs only to dare and go to meet his dream, stepping over his fears and feelings, that its just may not be possible, if you are ready then go forward, take the prize, but if not ready, you'll step on your dreams and your fears will quietly, slowly, but surely eat your dream... breaking your confidence and your will!
Believe in yourself, the world loves strong people! And I believe, believe. that I can do everything, and I will ask God that he give me more tests and I will pass them all. We all know that we are given only those test, which can be overcome.
Step by step, I'm doing what I need. I believe that everything is not by chance. The case is the just thread of a large tangle, which is called life. Even match lying on the road, which you saw is not an accident. The other will not even notice it.
And you go, and notice, look directly into the eyes of the world, walk with head held high and know that in spite of everything, there ahead is your dream and it have been waiting for you...
Already a month, as I live in Moscow! I can not describe the feelings that now embrace me, I'm happy to tears! People believe in yourselves, let everything come true in those who know what he lives for and goes to his intended goal!

Regardless of the matter, the solutions we deliver are practical and economical and demonstrate a commitment to adding value for clients whatever their involvement in bankruptcy cases.
Bankruptcy sales provide great opportunities for purchasers to acquire assets at bargain prices. However, bankruptcy sales contain many unique features not encountered in other contexts -- features designed to protect the rights of parties who are neither the buyer nor the seller. HWA helps parties regularly through the sales process.
Section 503(c) of the Bankruptcy Code imposes formulaic limits on severance or retention payments that a debtor can promise its employees during Chapter 11 proceedings. HWA helps debtors work around the new restrictions to accomplish largely the same results as were obtained pre-BAPCPA.
Managing creditors, assets and pitfalls before and during a Chapter 7 proceeding takes the skill, foresight and communication savvy that only comes from long-time experience. Hughes Watters Askanase has overseen hundreds of Chapter 7 liquidations, always making the best of our clients' situation, whether debtor or creditor.
We have structured and negotiated intricate buy-outs of numerous businesses and assets in bankruptcy cases across the country. Our understanding of federal statutes and our depth of experience in bankruptcy matters result in superior performance -- regardless of the industry involved.
Our attorneys have substantial experience in the planning and execution of Chapter 11 re-organizations and asset sales as well as the lending and investing that are an integral part of these cases.
Our firm delivers optimal results and opportunities with the least disruption of our clients' business operation as is possible.
Chapter 15 is the newest chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, having gone into effect in late 2005. Because Chapter 15 is based on the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency that was adopted by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, the United States interpretation must be coordinated with the interpretation given by other countries that have adopted it to promote a uniform and coordinated legal regime for cross-border insolvency cases. HWA has significant experience in these proceedings.
Creditors can rely on HWA to advise on consumer or corporate bankruptcy debtor's cases. We actively protect creditors' rights.
HWA has vast experience in handling matters involving both the prosecution and defense of preferences and fraudulent transfers under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code. There are limitations and defenses to these actions, and HWA successfully navigates these rules and exceptions on behalf of its clients.
Hughes Watters Askanase has represented countless creditors and debtors in pre-bankruptcy planning and restructuring negotiations involving sales, lending and equity investments.
From a thorough pre-bankruptcy analysis to a plan that is both fair and aggressive, Hughes Watters Askanase has the people and processes in place to identify, eliminate and exploit issues before they arise.
With the backing of Hughes Watters Askanase, our clients are prepared whenever an adversary wants to go to court. We often take on clients who have consulted with bankruptcy partners who are afraid to defend their clients' position when circumstances demand confrontation and solutions.
If it becomes necessary to go to court, the depth and experience of HWA bankruptcy litigators stand ready to advise and represent clients in any adversarial proceeding or contested matter.

Pickling tender green peppers in lemon juice is something we learnt from my erstwhile neighbours. The Subramaniams were our neighbours for over 15 years. Subramaniam Aunty was from a proper Tamil Iyer family while Subramaniam Uncle was from a Palakkad Iyer family. Both were foodies to the core and used to invite us over to taste absolutely yummy stuff. 🙂
Subramaniam Aunty taught my mom to pickle Tender Green Peppercorn in Lemon Juice and it has become a staple in our home. A couple of days ago when I saw fresh green peppercorns in the market, I could not but give in to the temptation of making this delicious Green Pepper Pickle.
How to Make Tender Peppercorn Pickle | Fresh Green Pepper Pickle
Making Time: 45 Mins
Pickling Time: 2 weeks
Equipment: Air-tight glass bottle with a wide mouth (at least 250 ml capacity)
- Tender Green Pepper on Stem – 100 gms
- Salt – 3 tbsp
- Lemon Juice – 1 to 1.25 Cup
- Ensure that you have a completely dry glass bottle
- Wash the tender pepper and pat with a cotton cloth.
- Set aside the tender pepper to dry completely. Do not separate the peppercorn from the stem.
- Place the peppercorn in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
- Pour the lemon juice over the peppercorns.
- Add the salt.
- Using a dry spoon mix well and set aside for 1 hour.
- Transfer the peppercorns with the lemon juice and any residual salt into a dry glass bottle.
- Ensure that all the pepper is submerged/completely covered in the lemon juice.
- Close the bottle and set aside to pickle for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Gently shake the bottle every couple of days.
- After the pepper has pickled (it will turn a paler green and eventually blackish), mix well with a dry spoon.
- Serve a little of the green pepper pickle (Kurumilagu Uragai) with Thayir Sadam or Dal-Chawal.
- When you buy the green peppercorn, ensure that the peppercorns are green and tightly stuck to the stem. This means that they are fresh.
- Do not separate the peppercorn from the stem. If you do, the pickle will go bad very quickly. 🙁
- If you have some peppercorn that have separated from the stem, do not add them to the pickle.
- As time passes, you will find that the stem of the peppercorn goes black and then the peppercorn itself starts to turn black. That is perfectly natural.
- As with any pickle, ensure that the peppercorn, the bottle, and any spoon or utensil that you use is dry.
- Do not pickle this in a steel vessel. You will find it corroded and the pickle spoilt.

I may receive a commission if you purchase through links in this post. I am not a doctor; please consult your practitioner before changing your supplement or healthcare regimen.
Many articles recommend using glutamine (also labeled L-glutamine) as a supplement to help heal leaky gut. It provides energy to the small intestines and when converted to glutamate can accelerate healing. Tangentially, it is also recommended by some to abate sugar cravings, or among body builders and athletes for performance and recovery. Certainly many doctors prescribe glutamine for their patients with leaky gut.
Glutamine concentrations decrease during periods of disease or stress, thus one motivation for supplementation. And the body's ability to expel glutamine means that many doctors see glutamine as benign, with no side effects even at high doses. Its depletion causes compromises in gut function…so why not supplement?
As mentioned, glutamine is a precursor to glutamate or glutamic acid. When this conversion occurs, the properties and effects of glutamate can be attributed to glutamine. Glutamate is one of two excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain that can cause anxiety. Excesses in brain tissue (remember the gut-brain correlation) can also cause cell damage. So while glutamine in excess seems benign, once it converts to glutamate, that status is called into question.
Glutamate is heralded for abating alcohol and sugar cravings, healing wounds, and increasing energy, but it is also an amino acid that can cause extreme damage when in excess.
Paul Jaminet Ph.D., author of Perfect Health Diet, adds an insight regarding glutathione, of which glutamine is also a precursor:
Glutamine, a supplement frequently recommended for gut ailments, can also enhance glutathione production. However, I would generally avoid this, because it can promote proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.
In addition to promoting pathogen overgrowth, several studies are emerging with additional concerns or supporting, cautionary data: One study on oral hygiene and disease (1) shows that glutathione produces bacterial growth, proving it can become food for invasive pathogens. Another study (2) shows the virulence of cancer cells when exposed to glutamine. A third study (3) shows increased mortality among patients given glutamine. Glutathione has also been linked to the thinning of gut lining when used long term.
There are many more articles and testimonies available about the honorific effects of glutamine and glutathione than the converse. What we're discussing here is not a black and white issue. (Often in life we must understand the subtleties.) The complexities of amino acids, their roles in the human body, and also the complexities of antioxidants and pathogens is still beyond the full scope of our understanding. The benefits of glutamine and glutathione supplements have been studied far more than their pejorative potential. Because noteworthy and well-respected practitioners are beginning to recognize and acknowledge the dangers of this amino acid and this antioxidant in certain settings, it is wise for us to know their potential not only for good but also for harm.
One of the reasons glutamine is a beneficial amino acid in general is that it increases glutathione. Glutathione is a key antioxidant in the human body, one which protects the body from inflammation and pathogens. Glutathione also helps the body to detoxify and promotes proper liver function.
Yet there are better ways to encourage glutamine's (and glutathione's) presence naturally without supplementing with isolated glutamine.
Yes, that's right: we're again talking about co-factors and a balanced diet.
Glutamine is good. But it is best and safest when it is found amidst the other amino acids around which it's found in nature. So…supplement with glutamine by consuming gelatin, in which case you will actually be consuming the healing glutamate/glutamic acid and, in turn, promoting healthy levels of glutathione production. Remember, too, that gelatin is most effective when consumed with its co-factors, whole food sources of protein and fat.
Whole food, digestible sources of glutamine are meat, fish, eggs, soaked beans, raw milk and cheese, human breast milk, bone broth, raw spinach, raw parsley, kombu and cabbage.
Here is the grass-fed gelatin that I recommend. Collagen is also wonderful, and even easier to digest than gelatin. Stir collagen into hot or cold beverages.
For more ways to incorporate gelatin into your diet, I recommend this post.
If you've noticed a gut-healing benefit from taking a glutamine supplement, this post may or may not apply to you. But I believe we are safer, based on recent studies, consuming gelatin and whole food sources.

Pests have the characteristics of choosing dark and secretive places to nest over open playgrounds and parks. What are the places that suit their needs best? Well, your home, garage, and the store room in your office support them with the required criteria. Be it summer, winter or rainy season, pests like rodents and termites strictly abide by the characteristics of their shelter. This is to say, rats and mice would sneak in to your house to keep warm and secure, as they get both the right space and food in your kitchen. We know it's annoying and disturbing to find out their presence in your Central Coast home. Let us discuss how you can handle the situation smartly. Keep reading to win over your little cunning opponents!
Secret of getting rid of rodents
Have you already tried some tricks and baits to catch them? None of those worked? If so, it is time you call for pest control in Central Coast. The skilled and experienced pest inspectors know the secrets of keeping rodents away from commercial, industrial, domestic and rural properties. They use a special bait system such as ditrac to shun these little creatures.
The system consists of a cylindrical block that sets a perfect encouragement for rodents' gnawing habits. All they wait it for the rodents to feed in the bait. As soon as the rats get in and feed, they are fatal. The specialty of this bait is its durability in different weather conditions.
Where the rodent baits are placed
The ditrac system is generally adjusted in the roof cavities. They are smartly diffused in the area to ensure the rodents enter the bait. This is how the population of rats and mice are controlled professionally.
Giving an explanation of the process, the blocks consist of a hole in the centre from where threads connect it to the beams on the path along which rats and mice travel. This is considered to be a wonderful option in areas of hay sheds and rural constructions.
Pest inspection in commercial and industrial properties
Like domestic properties, commercial and industrial properties should also be inspected for any kind of pest issues at regular intervals. Just ask your pest inspection technician to perform a special program for you at regular intervals. A good maintenance program prevents pest infestation and keeps them away in future.
Ditrac is useful bait systems to restrict rodents enter your house. It deploys lockable boxes around the suspected areas in the building. Regular checks are carried out to ensure no pests enter the premises or destroy your valuables. In a way, you should also note things to consider when buying a property to stay away from harmful pest infestations.
After the serious discussion on the ways to keep rodents away from your house or workplace, Let us now talk about some fun and interesting facts about pests that would surprise you.
1. Rats
Rats are everywhere in the world. These creatures hold the capacity to instigate harmful diseases. However, they are highly affectionate little pests, enjoying the company of other rats and domestic animals. They are also close to humans though always competing with them for food. Rats and mice are mostly used in scientific laboratories to perform certain experiments.
2. Mice
Mice are nocturnal animals which also spread dangerous diseases like Leptospirosis and Salmonella like rats. The continuous dribbling of urine infects and contaminates the food stuffs. They have poor eyesight, however this inability is balanced with their strong hearing and olfactory ability. Did you know a mice's tail can grow to the same length as its body. They are such gluttons that they can eat 15-20 times each day.
3. Cockroaches
Did you know the amazing fact about cockroaches that they survive seven days without a head? These are nocturnal creatures spending daytime hours amidst cracks and crevices around food sources (sinks and cookers) and water. It is a pest that has the ability to hold breath for the highest to 40 minutes and can survive under water for 30 minutes. It is not done yet; they can run 3 miles in an hour's time.
4. Houseflies
These are considered among the most irritating pests. Houseflies consist of an eating tube not just a mouth. They have 4000 lenses in the eye which enables a broader viewing range. They can travel 13 miles away from their birthplace. Even if they have wings that beat 20,000 times a minute, they can only travel 5 miles in an hour.
5. Fleas
Did you ever imagine a flea has the ability to jump 130 times its height? It passes through four different life stages: egg, larva, pupa and finally a biting adult. They generally feed on blood and can line for 100 days on an average. A female flea is capable of laying 2,000 eggs all her life. Now this is something amazing to hear.
6. Spiders
To your surprise, there are around 35,000 species of spiders in the world. Out of the thousands, 27 are capable of causing human fatalities. The most amazing fact about these web creatures is the male spiders pluck the cobweb similarly one plays a guitar to impress the female spider.
7. Ants
Did you know that ants never sleep? If their queen dies, the entire family will head towards their demise as there won't be any chances of new workers. Ants are the only insects that can live up to 30 years, having the longest among all the living insects. Once there was an ant colony that travelled over 3750 miles or 6000kms in length. There are some certain ants that travel the fastest in the entire animal kingdom.
8. Bedbugs
These pests are smartest in hiding. For them, night is for feeding dn in daytime they prefer hiding in cracks and crevices. When darkness sets in, the bed bugs leave their nests to feed on your blood. They only attack when you are in sound sleep. Smart little critters! immediately contact pest control service provider for bed bug control in Central Coast.
Weren't these facts surprising and interesting? There are a lot more you would love to know. But for now, keep these harmful creatures away from your home and workplace with help of pest control in Central Coast.

My determination for this year was to use every day to create the life I want. Each day should be invested not spent.
My best life features lots of art, family, friends, and self care. It includes a variety of settings - mostly in my hometown of Los Angeles. It improves the world through activism, volunteer work, and connecting with people.
So there it is. My resolution is to fill this year with plays and music and books and art. Outings and games and movies and cocktails. Family gatherings and baby showers and birthday parties. Home-cooked meals and mint tea and yoga.
I kicked this campaign off with a Day 1 New Year's Day family outing to the Post Parade Viewing of the floats at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. If you've ever watched The Rose Parade, you really must go see the workmanship up close. It will inspire you to spend less time on social media and more time meticulously arranging tiny objects to create a breathtaking effect. Or maybe bake a pie. Whatever floats your boat. (See what I did there?)
After the floats, we had delicious hand-crafted Mexican food at Urbano Mexican Kitchen. Best chicken enchiladas of my life. Then we put the little one to bed and watched I, Tonya - a spitfire of a movie. It inspired me to be more good but less nice and I really hope that makes sense but I'm not gonna worry about it cuz nice girls worry too much.
Project Good Life is Go!!!

Vicky is not a "she," Vicky is an "it" — a coed Icelandic quintet that doles out a violently sexy brand of thrashing mall metal. "Tender Demand," for instance, commences with a spoken-word intro backed by dissonant arpeggios in the vein of A Perfect Circle, before the band erupts into a super-distorted, ferocious chorus. But vocalist Eygló's throat-straining laments always cut through the cacophony and exhibit range that saves Vicky's music from falling into the land of bleak, Evanescence-esque modern rock. In fact, her vocals have as much in common with Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as they do Regina Spektor — at least in more tender moments.

Richard love you but please change your garden competition promo , the year is TWENTY 17 !!!! Thank you Teri in London xx
What a cracking year it's been (so far!) for summer bedding plants. The warm weather in June has really spurred them on and our geraniums (which can sulk a bit in prolonged rain), have been especially good.
With a bit of care (and, of course, a dash of continuing decent weather), our displays can get even better in the following weeks. Here's my top tips to get the very best from them:
- It's important to keep your plants well watered. If you let them continually dry out for a few days, then give them loads of water, the plants tend to stop/start their growth so they never fulfill their potential.
- Just as crucial is regular feeding. All summer bedding plants, including fuchsias, petunias and begonias need that potash! Twice weekly feeding with Flower Power will make a huge difference to their performance.
- Remove the finished flowers as they begin to fade. This helps prevent those flowers from going to seed (which can slow or stop flowering) and the added benefit is that regular deadheading helps tidy up the plant.
- If any of the plants are getting a bit too vigorous and start overpowering the others, then simply trim them back a bit. This will help restore a bit of balance to the display.
With a bit of care, your summer bedding plants can continue to delight until the end of September. Please do take pictures of them at their peak, especially if you've been using flower Power to feed them. I love seeing your garden pictures and , who knows, I might end up showing them on QVC next season!
Happy gardening,

Date: 10th February 2018
Venue: One Devonshire Gardens, Glasgow
First wedding of 2018 and I was excited to be back in action. I was invited to the very stylish One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow for the wedding of Kimberley & Jody and also a naming ceremony for their 2 boys, Leo and Freddie. Firstly hats off to these two troupers for handling their two little boys amazingly during the day. Little Freddie was a bit sickly and Leo stuck by Mum and Dad for most of the day but Kimberley and Jody sailed through it not letting anything stress them out. I joined Kimberley as she was upstairs getting ready with the girls.
Beautiful decor throughout the hotel.
I absolutely loved Kimberley's head piece.
Kimberley was such a stylish bride.
Downstairs the boys were keeping things under control.
Kimberley was walked down the stairs by proud Dad, Jim.
Jody looking amazed and a bit relieved that his bride made it 🙂
They had a beautiful ceremony with lots of laugher and fun. The boys managed to join in too.
The family during the naming ceremony.
Being February in Scotland, it was absolutely freezing! But the braved the weather to come out for a few photos.
I love the West End of Glasgow for its hidden backstreets and lanes. Always make for great photos.
We had some beautiful light coming through the stained glass windows.
Kimberley and Jody chose to theme their wedding on Toy Story as its the boys favourite movie.
We had lots of laughs during the speeches. Best man Leon stole the show with his celebrity videos to wish the happy couple a great day!
We had cake cutting at the top of the stairs and then I whisked them out to the back garden for some photos underneath these dreamy lights!
Finally Kimberley and Jody took to the dance floor to celebrate their day. All the guests joined in and it looked like it was going to be a long night! Congratulations to the happy couple, I wish them all the happiness in the world. It was a beautiful One Devonshire Gardens Wedding.

Sewer Line cleaning Toronto experts mention "Basement Flooding is common when it comes to heavy rainfall in the city or town. There is nothing you can do about the heavy rainfall, it is the nature and you have a deal with the positives and negatives it come up with." However, only heavy rainfall is not the reason for basement flooding, there are others including:
Plumbing is a big industry and what makes it bigger are those basics which everybody doesn't know and need plumbers for guidance. But have you ever realized that learning small tips and tricks about plumbing will not only make you independent but save your money and water also.
Moisture can damage framing, drywall and flooring in the basement. Moreover, excessive humidity can also harm your health. Fungus and mold spores spread through the air and cause different types of diseases. Therefore, it is essential to protect your house and family from that unpleasant humidity, and find the right Basement Flooding Solutions to avoid the problem in the future.
At first you might think that the main problem is choosing and purchasing the necessary equipment, but you would be surprised how easy this stage might be if you hire our team. Toronto Plumbing Group offers guidance on every stage of the installation process.
Every water supply is connected to the Sump Pump. The installation is quite complex and demands careful attention. If you attempt to install it yourself, pay attention to everything written in the instruction and follow it precisely. However, you do not need to worry if you hire a team of our Highly Qualifies Professional Plumbers to do the job and spare yourself an effort.
In old houses where the basement wasn't constructed properly and with poor hydro isolation, mould and mildew are a constant occurrence, occasional flooding is present as well. In this case there are two possible solutions: Dig Up a Trench and Waterproof the Wall from the outside or to Install a Sump Pump, which would be much simpler and less costly.
To manage a successful Installation of a Drain Tile, you must follow the next steps:
- The first step to install a drain tile is to dig up a trench around your house.
- On the bottom of your trench you must make a layer of sand and gravel.
- Waterproofing of the foundation wall is necessary, better to do it in two layers.
- Pour some concrete solution on to the gravel and then comes the drainpipe itself.
- The filter layer is made of larger gravel and without sand.
- On top of it you put a net to keep the dirt from getting into the pipe and soiling it.
- The final set would be to put back all the dirt where you have taken it and to do some landscaping so you house would look cosy and beautiful again.
The Basement Sum Pump System consists of a controller with a battery fluid sensor and a duel float switch, a pump with a pipe adapter, a plastic wire tie, a charger, a battery box, and a battery cap. If you aim to complete the installation by yourself, you'll need a whole set of other equipment.
Waterproofing your Basement is always a great deal of work. Water flows downhill, which means that your basement is the best place for it to stop. And with time the pressure of water takes over and water begins to penetrate the house through the Cracks and Holes in the Foundation, or even creating its own Cracks.
The main Problem with your Basement is you have to think how to keep the water out. Most of us have turned our basement not only into storage room, but also into entertainment chambers. If you let water into your house, you have to worry about painting failing, wood rotting, mould and mildew.
You have this invaluable space in your house that could be anything. You could turn it into a playroom or a luxurious bathroom with hot-tub, Jacuzzi, or make of it anything that you ever dreamt of, but there is a problem on your way. This problem is Moisture in your Basement.
