FTP exists primarily for the transfer of data between two end points. FTP differs from HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, used for serving websites via web browsers) fundamentally as it is an application made up of two distinct TCP connections:
Control connection: This TCP-based connection is used to provide a communications channel for the delivery of commands and replies. This is effectively the mechanism that enables the user to tell the server which file is being requested, which directory it is in, and so forth.
Data connection: The second TCP-based connection is used for the actual transfer of user data. Once the Control connection has been used to exchange information on which file is required, the Data connection is used to transfer the file between the client and server.
Using these two communication connections, two distinct modes of operation determine in which direction the connections are established: Active mode and Passive mode.
FTP is a TCP based service exclusively. There is no UDP (User Datagram Protocol transports data as a connectionless protocol, using packet switching) component to FTP. FTP is an unusual service in that it utilizes two ports, a Data port and a Command port (also known as the Control port). Traditionally these are port 21 for the Command (Control) port and port 20 for the Data port. The confusion begins however, when we find that depending on the mode, the data port is not always on port 20.
Active FTP
In active mode FTP, the FTP client software connects from a random unprivileged (unprivileged port is a port which is higher than 1023) port. Let's say N is the FTP server's command port, port 21.
Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20.
Here in this mode of FTP, Altin Groups IT Solution Center doesn't need to open any additional non-secure ports on our servers firewall and hence is secure from the server-side.
Passive FTP
In passive mode FTP, the FTP client initiates both connections to the server. When opening an FTP connection, the client opens two random unprivileged ports, lets say N and N+1. The first port contacts the server on port 21, but instead of then issuing a PORT command and allowing the server to connect back to its data port, the client will issue the PASV command. The result of this is that the server then opens a random unprivileged port lets say P and sends the PORTcommand back to the client. The client then initiates the connection from port N+1 to port P on the server to transfer data.
This method of FTP is insecure, as a random unprivileged port is opened on the Server. This is a potential security issue and it isn't advisable to use the Passive mode of FTP.
All Altin Groups IT Solution Center Windows and Linux web servers support both Active as well as Passive modes.
All popular FTP software allow users to select the data connection mode (Active or Passive), when uploading/downloading data to a web server.

'Are You Grad?' sounds like the title of a play I probably don't want to see.
- June 7, 2011 at 9:37 AM
WV: "snota"
That snota a cake I'd buy.
p.s. black icing is just yucky. - June 7, 2011 at 9:43 AM
LOL! That last one could be worse- at first i thought i saw, "Cumgratulations"
- June 7, 2011 at 9:43 AM
"Scungratulations"?? Really? Really?
Today's trivia from the Urban Dictionary: "Scun is the 60's LA Hell's Angels term for brown sticky highly potent bath tub methamphetamine. Scun is also a sludge metal(bongzilla/eyehategod-esque) band from Arkansas." Now you know.
WV: "Muffi" All I can think of is dirty things for that. - June 7, 2011 at 9:43 AM
I think the odds are fair that the sign invites you to celebrate the city of Gradua, Tennessee-- in cake-- provided such a place actually exists, of course.
There's almost always a minor problem with all my theories, however. - June 7, 2011 at 9:44 AM
That first cake looks like it's to celebrate a disaster movie...."It was a dark and stormy 2011...There were earthquakes...and tornadoes that look ilke gilded bones or wonky Corinthian columns. But look, life! vines! or are they--dum dum DUM! man eating plants?? look, all they left of the graduate was his cap and diploma!
It must be set in Asia, where they ask, "Are you grad?" (Glad what, the graduate has been engulfed in man eating vines during an earthquake?)
Yeah, Scungratulations to you too. - June 7, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Well, at least that last one doesn't say "Scunradulations". Baby steps, right?
- June 7, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Scungratulations? * facepalm * I'm so glad my parents didn't order me a fancy graduation cake...
- June 7, 2011 at 9:49 AM
- tina said...
Is that a "S" or a squiggly decoration on the last cake. To me it reads "scungratulations" which is makes it even more of a wreck!
- June 7, 2011 at 9:50 AM
- Erin @ Brownie Bites said...
Wow - I think I've figured out a way to hide cracking icing or fondant! Genius!
- June 7, 2011 at 9:51 AM
I think maybe that Grad Tornado was trying to be a marble Greek Grad column, but these days it's kind of hard to tell.
Sharon - June 7, 2011 at 9:59 AM
2011 has been a year marked by an incredible amount of natural disasters: earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, the apocolypse. It's only fitting that this years' graduates commemorate their survival with a tasty treat.
I congraduate them all.

- June 7, 2011 at 10:03 AM
"Scungratulations" sounds vaguely dirty. And the Scu- makes the whole rest of the word look off, even though it's actually correct.
I don't mind the sign in the first pick. They obviously don't have room for the whole word.
WV: buster. Hey, buster! Fix that cake right now! (or, it might be "louster"--I can't tell.) [It was louster. Dang!] - June 7, 2011 at 10:13 AM
I'm sensing that the "Are You Grad" cake was the result of a phone order for a Rutgers University grad cake.
- June 7, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Actually, "are you graduating" is a phrase many parents hopefully ask their offspring this time of the year (mine did). That one gets a hall pass (if said emphatically enough in a hopeful tone it doesn't need a question mark) but those very, um, voluptuous" swimmers" make me think of technicolor Jabba-the-Huts in the making.
What the heck is the tornado one supposed to be?? I see a big old dinosaur bone (considering the size ratio to the little cap). I suppose dinosaur walker isn't any more scarce as an occupation than most traditional jobs today.
-Barbara Anne - June 7, 2011 at 10:19 AM
- Stephanie M said...
All I have to say is, it's a good thing the baker of the last cake didn't accidentally add a 't' after the first 'n.' Dirty mind that I have, that was the first thing I thought of.
wv: "didem" I didem cakes real good. - June 7, 2011 at 10:20 AM
WV: sorshe--Graduation cakes remain a perennial sorshe of amusement for all!
- June 7, 2011 at 10:20 AM
- Caroline said...
Given that the Joplin tornado hit right after a high school graduation ceremony and several recent graduates were killed, I think that second cake is pretty inappropriate.
- June 7, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Now, if only that "2011" cake had been "2012"... they could have sold it as a late movie tie-in!
- June 7, 2011 at 10:40 AM
@Barbara Anne - I think the tornado cake is supposed to be a paper scroll, the way some diplomas are depicted. If that isn't it, I got nothin'. Yes, wrecky (graduation) day. I'm guessing there will be several more to come this season...
WV: amodea - I may need some Amodea after eating the black icing. - June 7, 2011 at 11:11 AM
"Scungratulations" -- my new favorite buzzword! Although, "Are you grad?" is right up there!
- June 7, 2011 at 11:14 AM
Silly me, I thought there were no more ways left to misspell "congratulations." Wrong again.

Idoustal those wreckerators graduated finished high school themselves! - June 7, 2011 at 11:26 AM

Did Earthcake not remind anyone else of a cracked tombstone? No one else heard those ominous drums and thunder? No? Only me? Crap.
- June 7, 2011 at 11:32 AM
Once again proving you can not make a "cake" out of a bunch of cupcakes.
And I believe that "2011" was created by someone on work-release parole after being convicted of "tagging" buildings with spray paint.

Scungratulations! Your Awsom!
- June 7, 2011 at 11:41 AM
oh, so close the cungratulations cake! Got to love the heart dotting the I. It adds a tremendous sense of pride and love to the whole cake. I can just imagine how happy the decorator was with that detail.
- June 7, 2011 at 11:51 AM
- Sarah said...
I'm pretty sure that the last cake just says "cungratulations", and what everyone thinks is an S at the beginning is just one of the squiggly decorations placed unfortunately too close to the word itself. There's another one just like it in the top right corner of the cake.
With that said, I like how the i is dotted with BOTH a dot and a heart :) - June 7, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Brain...can't...comprehend...the stupid O_o
- June 7, 2011 at 12:39 PM
I know of a school who's mascot is the Golden Tornado....maybe that cake was for them?

Am I the only one who wondered why the third one (a dastardly CCC anyway) was in the shape of a Corinthian column??? Anybody else? No, I thought not.

That last cake. Oh, dear. I need to go scrub my brain.

@ kayk - my first thought was related to the ole RU Screw also...did they open a bakery?
- June 7, 2011 at 12:45 PM
- Miss Mindy said...
@Anne-Marie - I thought it was supposed to be a diploma, too, except for the vines on it... Maybe ivy-covered columns? Hey, it's a wreck, so why am I even trying to guess?
- June 7, 2011 at 12:47 PM
Stephanie M... Actually I thought of that too, although I guess I should be ashamed! Cakes all look off...
- June 7, 2011 at 12:54 PM

That first one is cracking me up. :) At least it only costs $4.
- June 7, 2011 at 12:54 PM

That looks like scungratulations. Which seems to turn it from a naughty word for genitalia to a VD.
"Man, I need a shot for my scungratulations." - June 7, 2011 at 1:00 PM
I was alos thinking "Are you grad" could be a cake for a couple with a newborn..."Are you Glad?"
wv: sidedles
I wish I had sidedles on having the last cake look so WRONG! - June 7, 2011 at 1:00 PM
Glad I'm not the only one that didn't see that squiggly in front of the "Cun..." cake as an "S." Also glad I'm not the first one that thought of naughty words when I first saw it!!!
- June 7, 2011 at 1:01 PM
- Unknown said...
I love it how they painted the 2011 on that cake like it was some bad grafitti on wall :D
- June 7, 2011 at 1:03 PM
- Lee said...
As an RU Grad (as in a Rutgers Uni Alumni) all I can think when I see the Are You Grad! cake is that someone mistook school pride with text speak. So not the time to correct it.
- June 7, 2011 at 1:12 PM

Nothing says "We're SO PROUD of you!!!" like a $4.00, single-layer, airbrushed cake that's been dropped on the floor.
=^o.0^= - June 7, 2011 at 1:19 PM
- sendingtheclowns said...
If I'd been there, I'd have snuck up on that last cake, snagged a bit of that dopey little heart i-dot with my pinkie, and used the crap to close up the top of the first "u" so it'd look like an "o". Then I'd take a swipe at the superfluous giant "S" swirl, wipe it off on the back of the next person who walked by, and get the hell out of there.
I get uncomfortable at really high-class gatherings.
=^-.-^= - June 7, 2011 at 1:34 PM
I cannot believe Wreckporters have managed to scrounge up yet another way to misspell Congratulations. Seriously?! At this point surely Jen has enough for a third book just about misspelled Congratulations cakes.
- June 7, 2011 at 1:36 PM
Grad, Grad - really, really Grad
Niiiiice, Jen.

On seeing the title of today's post, I thought, "that must be a reference to one of the hundreds, nay, thousands of movies I haven't seen. I wonder which one it will be." But it was not so. Dang. Moving on...
#1 (Even though it isn't generally considered edible) "I know there isn't enough room for the whole word. But I'm not hyphenating it, no way! If I put that dash thing in the wrong place, sure as taxes it will wind up on Cake Wrecks!"
#2 Could there be a better metaphor? I know about (hopefully) food-grade airbrushing, but '2011' still looks like it was done by a tagger.
#3 I'm guessing this was the wreckerator's first Corinthian(s) column. Ahem.
Is the parenthetical comment an 'old' reference? Who's old here, youngster? Why, I'll have you know that I used to have to read my computer screen by candlelight. And I counted myself lucky! Consarn kids these days... Where was I? Oh, yes...
#4 Shouldn't this say, 'Aren't you Grad!' Better yet, shouldn't it say something else altogether? Shouldn't we ban swimming balloons -- or in this case, brightly colored figs with squiggly...never mind.
#5 This is like, what happens when you order from the Valley Girl Bakery. OMG! - June 7, 2011 at 2:06 PM

I'm only admitting this because I've been home with a fever for the past two days:
I saw the "S" and read Scrumpdelicious which was the old Dairy Queen campaign from the '70s.
AnnMarie- good guess but I'm still going with dinosaur bone. I do see your point but I'm not feeling like giving them a free ride on that one! :D

This isn't a cakewreck, but it is definitely a grad wreck. On my high school diploma, Education was misspelled Educaiton. We ended up on Leno for that.

Being of Japanese heritage, I'll get flak for this, but if you say, "Are you Grad?" with a Japanese, ESL mindset, it makes perfect sense.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

In the U.S. Senate, it's down to the Final Four versus the Dynamic Duo.
Only four Democratic senators remain who do not support same-sex marriage. Across the aisle, there are now two Republicans who have announced their support.
The new alignments mean that a majority — 53 senators — now support a concept that 85 senators voted to ban in 1996 with the Defense of Marriage Act.
Indiana's Joe Donnelly and North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp on Friday became the latest Democrats to join what's now the dominant position in their party. Heitkamp put out a press release, while Donnelly announced his view via a posting on Facebook, as did Montana's Jon Tester, Virginia's Mark Warner and North Carolina's Kay Hagen earlier.
The use of Facebook isn't surprising. Gay marriage is now supported by a majority of all Americans, but by an overwhelming majority of younger Americans — which is to say, those more likely to tune into social media sources.
Democrats started announcing their support of gay marriage en masse last week, when the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on two cases on the subject. But the trend was really begun by Ohio Republican Rob Portman, who declared he had changed his mind after his son announced he was gay. So far, Illinois Mark Kirk has been the only other Republican to join Portman.
As to the remaining four Democrats, it's unclear if any of them are contemplating a change of heart. South Dakota's Tim Johnson is retiring, though his son is a potential candidate to replace him in 2014. West Virginia's Joe Manchin represents a culturally conservative state, but does not face re-election until 2016.
The last two, Louisiana's Mary Landrieu and Arkansas's Mark Pryor, also represent deep red states, and are likely to face tough re-election battles next year.

text: Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Cameroon's Olympic team was a hit in the opening ceremonies, walking around the track in colorful national costumes. Now several of its athletes appear to have taken a walk, and not the kind that's an Olympic sport. The head of team Cameroon has confirmed that a swimmer, a soccer player and five boxers have disappeared from the Olympic Village. Cameroon is a poor country, so some speculate the athletes are on a quest for a better life instead of Olympic gold. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

All technologies that contain links.
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to provide a mechanism to bypass a block of material by skipping to the end of the block. The first link in the block or the link directly preceding the block moves focus to the content immediately after the block. Activating the link advances the keyboard focus past the block. When there are multiple blocks to be skipped, the user skips from block to block via these links.
The pages on an organization's Web site include a navigation bar or main menu containing links to major sections of the site, the site map, information about the organization, and how to contact the organization. The first link in this area is titled "Skip Navigation Links". A user activates the link to skip over these links.
A book contains an index that is divided into a set of pages. In the content at the beginning of each page of the index are links for each letter of the alphabet, linking into the index where the entries start with that letter. The first link in the set is titled "Skip Links into Index". A user activates this link to skip over the links.
All the pages on a Web site include a section containing links to the site map, information about the organization, and how to contact the organization. All the pages in each section of the site also contain a set of links to its subsections. The first link in the first block is titled "Skip Navigation Links" and skips over the first set of links. The first link in the second block is titled "Skip Section Links" and skips over the subsection links.
This example demonstrates both the use of Heading elements at the beginning of each section (H69) and links that skip to the end of each section. This allows people to skip blocks of repeated content using keyboard navigation or using heading navigation, depending on the capabilities of their user agents. Note that some sections of the content are wrapped in a
element to work around a limitation of Internet Explorer (see the User Agents Notes for Creating HTML links to skip blocks of content (future link)).
Example Code:

Content title

Main Navigation

Sub Navigation

Link A

Link B

Link C

Link J

Resources are for information purposes only, no endorsement implied.
Check that a link is the last focusable control before the block of repeated content or the first link in the block.
Check that the description of the link communicates that it skips the block.
Check that the link is either always visible or visible when it has keyboard focus.
Check that after activating the link, the keyboard focus has moved to the content immediately after the block.
All checks above are true.
If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.

For homeowners, each season brings its own unique set of challenges and maintenance tasks, and prevention is always easier and less expensive than repairing something that's broken. As fall approaches, consider protecting your home by taking the time to assess and address any issues in the following areas:
- Insulation from the cold. As the weather gets colder, poor insulation can be both uncomfortable and expensive, as your furnace or heating system struggles to produce more heated air faster than it leaves your home. Make necessary repairs where possible, and consider installing heavy drapes over windows that you know may cause a draft.
- Ventilation. If you have an indoor fireplace, clear out the ash and make sure the chimney is clear. Consider hiring a professional for this task so it is performed correctly. Check air ducts for dust and other debris, and change air filters to keep your family healthier as cold season approaches. Now is also a good time to clear the dust out of your clothes dryer exhaust duct and the space beneath the dryer.
- Water pipes. Just as you need to check your home for insulation problems, you also need to check caulking around sinks and tubs to prevent leakage. Furthermore, if you've been noticing a dripping faucet, now is the time to deal with it! Fixing a leak now will be much easier than repairing a broken pipe that froze. Your water heater may also need attention, especially if your water is hard, as mineral deposits will accumulate over time and block water flow.
- Clean the gutters. Check for and clear out leaves, nests, and other debris that have accumulated and could clog the gutter, and remember to continue to do so as the autumn leaves fall, especially if your home is surrounded by trees.
- Fire safety. As temperatures fall, the risk of a house fire rises for homeowners across the country. Check for and eliminate hazards such as frayed wires, loose outlets, and overloaded extension cords, and have your furnace inspected by a professional. Inspect your smoke detectors and make sure you have a functional fire extinguisher accessible and ready to use just in case.
- Lawn and garden care. Depending on your home and climate, maintaining your yard area could be minimal or quite extensive. Make sure that exterior water pipes are insulated to prevent freezing as overnight temperatures drop, and drain irrigation systems if necessary. If you are putting away gas-operated lawn equipment for the colder months, make sure to ensure that any gas in the tank is depleted.
As you prepare your home for the fall, don't forget to review your homeowners insurance so that you know exactly what you're covered for in the event of a seasonal mishap. We can sit down with you to review your policy and ensure that it meets the needs of your household. Contact us to review your policy and explore your options as fall approaches.

Judging by its Facebook network, Hastings High School in New York has one strange senior class. A student named "FunkMaster Floikes" is somehow rubbing shoulders with Lizzie McGuire and the fictional parents from That '70s Show. Meanwhile Samwise Gams (a nickname of a hobbit in Lord of the Rings) is listed as a 2012 alum. At first glance, such social media profiles have all the makings of crude online pranks. But in reality, they have been strategically created by actual Hastings seniors determined to shield themselves from the prying eyes of college admissions officers. "There's a fairly big party scene there," says Sam "Samwise" Bogan, who is now a freshman at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania. "When the college search process comes around, people start changing their Facebook name or untagging old photos that they don't want anyone to see. It's kind of a ritual."
Amid decades-old worries about GPAs, resumes, extracurricular activities and campus interviews, today's college applicants must reckon with a new high-tech dilemma: Are colleges judging me based on my online activities? With top schools closely guarding the reasoning behind admissions decisions, many high schoolers are now assuming the worst and implementing online safeguards that would have never occurred to teenagers five years ago, when Facebook was just a private network and Google was still a noun.
(COVER STORY: College Is Dead. Long Live College!)
It turns out students have good reason to worry. According to a recent Kaplan Test Prep survey of 350 admissions officers, more than 25 percent of school officials said they had looked up applicants on Facebook or Google. Off campus, a similar percentage of private scholarship organizations also acknowledge researching their applicants online, according to a National Scholarship Providers Association survey. Still, many admissions directors are reluctant to provide specifics in how they scour social feeds. No, many say, they don't look up every applicant online, but yes, if they somehow come across an inappropriate tweet or Facebook post, it could factor into their decision. No, they'd never use it as the deciding factor between two similar applicants, but yes, students should be mindful of what they post.
Such ambiguity has sparked an array of conspiracy theories. Bogan speculates that colleges use the emails they gather on campus tours to later find students online, even if they've changed their names to cover their tracks. Other students openly claim that schools are colluding with Facebook to gain full access to applicants' restricted online profiles. Meanwhile, some students worry that going dark on Facebook will make them seem anti-social,when colleges are actually looking for outgoing applicants.
Numerous students interviewed by TIME ultimately opted for a full social media lockdown, ahead of submitting their applications. Abigail Swift, a senior at BASIS Scottsdale in Arizona, deleted her Facebook account at the start of her junior year, just as she was beginning her college search. She says she plans to revive it in 2013, after being accepted to a university. "I don't want what I put on my Facebook or what I don't put on my Facebook to sway their opinion of me," she says. "I just don't think it's fair for them to base acceptance on that." Many of her classmates agree, and have already restricted privacy settings so that their names don't appear in a public Facebook search. One student went so far as to delete photos taken during 8th grade that didn't reflect the image she is now trying to convey to schools. As young as 16, some students are already making an effort to wipe the digital slate clean. Just in case.
Almost every student has heard a horror story. At the start of the school year, a BASIS college counselor told her class of a student whose acceptance to an elite college was revoked when he was caught badmouthing the school on Facebook. At Williams College, a student's admission was rescinded because he posted disparaging remarks on a college discussion board. At the University of Georgia, when an admissions officer discovered an applicant's racially charged Twitter account, he took a screenshot and added the tweets to the student's application file. Though these are extreme examples, it's difficult to pinpoint when a teenager's social media habits shift from innocuous to alarming in the eyes of admissions officers. Anna Redmond, a 30-year-old former interviewer for Harvard University who blogs about college admissions, says she began regularly googling prospective students years ago (interviews with alumni are a minor component of Harvard's admissions criteria). "You could sometimes find old blog posts where they were complaining," she says. "Maybe there was a photo of a kid drinking a beer. I don't think it's personally that damning, but somebody else might."
(SPECIAL REPORT: Reinventing College)
With the Kaplan survey showing that only 15 percent of colleges abide by a strict social media policy when it comes to applicants,such vetting is often at the discretion of individual officials. College officials point out that time restraints would make it nearly impossible to analyze every applicant through social media. However, some admit to exploring applicants' social media timelines to make a "high stakes" decision, like awarding a prestigious scholarship, says Nora Barnes, a marketing professor at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth who has interviewed hundreds of schools about their social media practices. She says the actual number of schools doing online sleuthing could be higher than statistics show, with some wary of being viewed as invasive if they own up to the practice. "It's a touchy subject in academia," Barnes says. "It's common knowledge that employers do it, and people seem to accept that. But somehow higher ed is held to a higher standard."
Nancy McDuff, associate vice president for admissions and enrollment management at the University of Georgia, says an applicant's online profile is fair game to be evaluated. "If a student mentions something in their application that isn't well explained, and you're looking for more information, you may check their Facebook," she says. "They're writing about themselves. That's no different from what a guidance counselor may write about them when they ask for someone to write a letter of recommendation." But other admissions directors say including an inconsistent variable like Facebook profiles into the regimented application process can be unfair to students. "We like to get the same information from every candidate," says Christoph Guttentag, the dean of undergraduate admissions at Duke University. "What one might find [on Facebook] would be close to random. There's no guarantee that we would be getting the same kind of information between two applicants."
For students who choose to change their Facebook names to ensure privacy, there can be consequences for violating the company's official terms of use. About eight percent of the network's 1 billion accounts are fakes or duplicates, according to summer filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Facebook can ban such users permanently when caught, and the company encourages users to report fake accounts. Some colleges might also view such tactics as unethical: "If a student changes their name on Facebook because they want to hide something, you just wonder whether they want to be at an institution that values an Honor Code," McDuff says. Back at Hastings High School, students don't view their actions as unethical. "One way a lot of people in my class coped with the stressful college application process was by being a little bit cynical about it," Bogan says. "This is just a part of that. It's kind of a coping mechanism."
While some students rebel, others adapt. Among many high schoolers, there is a grudging acceptance that these are the new rules of engagement in the 21st-century admissions game. "Maybe it is a little unfair, but at the same time you're being judged on what you have created for yourself in the past four years of your high school experience," says Maxton Thoman, a freshman at the University of Alabama. "All that stuff is cumulative, and so is Facebook." Thoman, who boosted his privacy settings and untagged photos of himself during the college admissions process, continues to keep a close eye on his digital profile at college. He knows that medical schools and later employers may one day be interested in what he's posted online, so he considers his status updates before spouting off. He and many of his peers, rejecting the culture of oversharing, seem to understand intuitively a fact that has taken some adults years to grasp: "The Internet is written in ink, not in pencil."

- "This ancient and mysterious charm conjures a magical guardian, a projection of all your most positive feelings. The Patronus Charm is difficult, and many witches and wizards are unable to produce a full, corporeal Patronus, a guardian which generally takes the shape of the animal with whom they share the deepest affinity. You may suspect, but you will never truly know what form your Patronus will take until you succeed in conjuring it."
- —Miranda Goshawk[src]
The Patronus Charm is a charm that evokes a partially-tangible, positive energy force known as a Patronus (pl. Patronuses[2]). Patronuses are also called spirit guardians[3][1] though this may only refer to corporeal Patronuses. It is primarily designed for defence against otherwise unbeatable Dark creatures like Dementors and Lethifolds, though there are other uses such as messaging.
The Charm[]
- "Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up… Just remember, your Patronus can only protect you as long as you stay focused… Think of the happiest thing you can."
- —Harry Potter teaching the Patronus Charm to Dumbledore's Army[src]
It is apparent from old woodcuts and scrolls that the Patronus Charm has been used since ancient times.[4]
To successfully cast the spell one must muster a happy memory (the happier the memory, the more powerful and tangible the Patronus will be) and incant "Expecto Patronum". It is unknown if there are any other elements required in casting, such as physical gestures (aside from drawing and pointing the wand forward prior to or during incantation).
The happy memory one requires when casting does not necessarily have to be a specific moment in your past. Arguably more important than content, is how the memory or thought makes you feel now. Harry Potter, for instance, is often seen to produce his more powerful Patronuses when he his merely thinking of the people he loves. Harry also often thinks of his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger and produces successful Patronuses. One time Harry also used the thought of Dolores Umbridge being sacked to produce a Patronus for his Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. Harry uses his love and happiness, evoked from thinking of his friends and family, to produce a Patronus, rather than having to remember emotions felt in the past.
The Patronus Charm is widely regarded as advanced magic (so much so that its not even taught in Charms on the Hogwarts curriculum). It is a very complex charm and many qualified wizards and witches have trouble with it. In fact, Harry Potter is one of the youngest known wizards able to cast a Patronus; he was taught how to do so in early 1994 at the age of thirteen by Remus Lupin[5]. In a Dumbledore's Army lesson, Harry taught the members how to use the charm. Some were even successful in casting a corporeal form, though Harry said this might be because there was no Dementor to make them frightened[6]. However, some members were later shown to be able to cast corporeal Patronuses in the presence of Dementors[7].
Amelia Bones and potential members of the D.A. were all very impressed when Harry Potter revealed that he could cast not only a Patronus Charm but a corporeal one to boot, which is notably more difficult than casting an incorporeal one. Given that the success of the charm is directly reliant on the caster retaining a particular mental state the Charm is more difficult to cast in emotionally trying circumstances. For instance, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger all had difficulty casting their Patronuses when under the negative influence of Salazar Slytherin's Locket, one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes, and after witnessing the death of Fred Weasley in battle[7]. This feature of the Charm is particularly unfortunate since the Charm's primary use is to defend against Dementors, Dark creatures specifically equipped to mentally unhinge people (and hence is partly why it is regarded as such advanced, difficult magic).
Self-confidence may also play an important role in casting the spell. In 1994 Harry is able to cast the spell successfully, driving off a large number of Dementors (which according to Severus Snape is only achievable by a very powerful wizard) thus saving Sirius and a younger version of himself, seemingly without recalling a happy memory, when he realises that he has already done it. Although Harry could have had a "happy memory" upon realizing that he had saved all three of their lives.
Only wizards who are "pure of heart" are able to cast Patronuses. If the Patronus Charm is attempted to be cast by a Dark or otherwise not pure-hearted wizard, who would otherwise be magically capable of casting one, rather than the intended effect of a spirit guardian bursting forth, a horde of maggots will be conjured from the caster's wand, which will attempt to consume the caster. The first recorded instance of this happening is with the Dark Wizard Raczidian.[8]
For this reason, Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters were not able to cast a Patronus Charm (not that it was necessary, as they already had the dark creatures under their control via their affinity to darkness, and would have no use for Patronuses).[9] However, Dolores Umbridge is able to produce a corporeal Patronus, despite the fact that she was considered an evil person; her wearing of Salazar Slytherin's Locket, which was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, was what enhanced her strength due to her evil affinity. She was able to produce a corporeal Patronus due to the enhanced strength. Conversely, Draco Malfoy was unable to cast one despite his waning evil. Severus Snape is the only Death Eater capable of casting the charm, as his love for Lily Evans was his one redeeming point.
The Patronus[]
A successfully conjured Patronus can take two forms: non-corporeal or corporeal, and both types vary greatly in their appearances and strength.
A non-corporeal Patronus is one which does not resemble any living creature and has few distinguishing features (if any). Non-corporeal Patronuses resemble a burst of vapour or smoke without any clearly defined form shooting from the tip of the wand. While they may be partially effective at halting dementors (but not repelling them), non-corporeal Patronuses are not "fully-fledged" Patronuses, and are regarded as a more primitive or weaker version of the true Charm.
While even the most advanced wizards, like the prodigious Severus Snape, appear to have to use the spoken incantation Expecto Patronum to conjure a corporeal Patronus, Remus Lupin casts a non-corporeal Patronus on the Hogwarts Express as a Nonverbal spell. This suggests that only non-corporeal Patronuses can be conjured without the spoken incantation.
A corporeal Patronus is one that is fully-formed, taking the shape of bright-white, translucent animal. The specific animal forms that corporeal Patronuses take vary from person to person and reflect each individual's personality.
Patronus forms, however, are subject to change if the caster goes through an emotional upheaval of some sort, including falling in love. For example, Nymphadora Tonks's Patronus changed from its previous form to that of a four-legged creature which others guessed was a werewolf because then it would reflect her love of Remus Lupin, himself a werewolf[6].Another example is Severus Snape, whose Patronus was that of a doe, the same as Lily Evans, though this may have been the case all along rather than a change from its original form, as Snape was in love with Lily for most of his life. Based on the fact that Patronuses are conjured by recalling happy memories, it stands to reason that a Patronus might change its form after one falls in love and the memories used to conjure the Patronus largely revolve around the person the caster is in love with. In addition, it seems that some couples have "complementary" Patronuses (male and female forms of the same animal), such as Lily and James Potter. It is, however, unknown if this is a coincidence or not. If a wizard is an Animagus and can summon a corporeal Patronus, the two may take the same form, as was the case for Minerva McGonagall and James Potter[7].
Most Patronuses take the form of an ordinary animal, but magical creatures, such as Albus Dumbledore's phoenix Patronus, are not uncommon. However, it is extremely rare for Patronuses to take the form of extinct animals.[4] Hedley Fleetwood's woolly mammoth Patronus is a notable exception.[4] Andros the Invincible was the only wizard capable of casting a Patronus of a giant.
The corporeal Patronus is also better at repelling Dementors than the incorporeal form.
There are two known uses for the Patronus Charm. The first and main use of the Patronus is to drive off certain Dark creatures such as Dementors and Lethifolds, and is the only known charm that will work against them. As Dementors feed on happy memories to render humans to drown in sorrow and sadness, the Patronus acts as a shield of sorts, of which the Dementor would try to feed off of instead - the Patronus is comprised exclusively of positive feelings and cannot comprehend negative emotion, so the Dementor's influence cannot harm it.
The other use was devised by Albus Dumbledore, who invented a way of using the Patronus (corporeal and non) as a means of communication. They can deliver messages, speaking with the voice of the caster. This source of communication is believed to be exclusive to the members of the Order of the Phoenix. Using the Patronus for communication offers great advantages in security, as Patronuses identify the caster and are Dark-proof.[6] A good example of this was when Minerva McGonagall used her feline Patronus to call for help to the other heads of houses in 1998 when she found out Harry Potter had returned to Hogwarts in search of Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem. Multiple Patronuses can be cast for communication, as McGonagall was able to create three. Another is when Severus Snape used his Patronus to lead Harry Potter to a pool in the Forest of Dean in 1997, where he had laid Godric Gryffindor's Sword for Harry to retrieve.
Patronus means "protector", "guardian", or simply "patron" in Latin, specifically reflecting the entire role that the Patronus Charm plays. In archaic Latin, it meant "father", which is very interesting, considering that Harry Potter's Patronus is the same as his father's Patronus and Animagus form, a stag. The Latin word exspecto or expecto means "I look out for" or "I wait for", thus the charm's incantation roughly translates into "I await a guardian."
Known Practitioners[]
- "A Patronus is a kind of positive force, and for the wizard who can conjure one, it works something like a shield, with the Dementor feeding on it, rather than him. In order for it to work, you need to think of a memory. Not just any memory, a very happy memory, a very powerful memory… Allow it to fill you up... lose yourself in it... then speak the incantation "Expecto Patronum"."
- —Remus Lupin teaching Harry Potter the Patronus Charm[src]
Known Patronuses[]
Witch/wizard | Patronal form | Notes |
Andros the Invincible | Something allegedly the size of a giant (possibly an actual giant) | Stated on his Chocolate Frog Card as the only wizard to make a Patronus that size. |
Illyius | Mouse | Initially, Illyius's fellow villagers mocked him as they had never seen such a small and weak-looking Patronus, which corresponded to Illyius's timidity and tongue-tiedness. However, when dark wizard Raczidian invaded the village with his army of Dementors, Illyius's mouse Patronus proved to be stronger than the others, making him a hero. |
Flavius Belby | Something with horns | In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it's recorded that he cast off a Lethifold by performing the Patronus Charm. It says the Lethifold was thrown into the air on the horns of his Patronus. |
Cho Chang | Swan | Seen in the last Dumbledore's Army meeting in 1996. |
Michael Corner | Squirrel | Seen in the last Dumbledore's Army meeting in 1996. |
Aberforth Dumbledore | Goat | Summoned outside the Hog's Head in an attempt to convince the Death Eaters who had seen Harry's Patronus that they really saw a goat. |
Albus Dumbledore | Phoenix | The bird whose loyalty he earned, Fawkes, was a phoenix. Also he used it in 1995 as a message to Hagrid when Krum was stunned. It was described as "a ghostly bird that flew off in the direction of Hagrid's house". |
Seamus Finnigan | Fox | He could not yet produce a fully formed (corporeal) Patronus in Dumbledore's Army, though in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, he managed a Patronus in the shape of a fox. |
Hedley Fleetwood | Woolly mammoth | An unusual form due to the extreme rarity of extinct Patronuses. |
Hermione Granger | Otter | Seen in the last Dumbledore's Army meeting in 1996. It is apparently the only spell Hermione has trouble with, as said in 1997 while escaping from the Ministry of Magic. |
Harry Potter | Stag | Harry's Patronus is in the shape of his father's Animagus form and Patronus. He learned how to conjure a Patronus at an exceptionally young age. |
James Potter | Stag | James' Animagus form was also that of a stag. |
Luna Lovegood | Hare | Seen in the last Dumbledore's Army meeting in 1996 and in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. |
Ernie Macmillan | Boar | Seen in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. |
Minerva McGonagall | Cat | Just before the Battle of Hogwarts, she sent her Patronus out to alert the other Heads of House that Hogwarts Castle would soon be under attack by Lord Voldemort and his followers. |
Lily Potter | Doe | Mentioned in conjunction with Snape's Patronus. It was also the female form of her husband's Patronus. |
Symposia Rawle | Ladybird | An unusual form that was very powerful despite its tiny size. |
Kingsley Shacklebolt | Lynx | Seen in 1997 when he warned the Order during Bill and Fleur's wedding of the downfall of the Ministry of Magic and Rufus Scrimgeour's death. |
Severus Snape | Doe | Acted as Harry's guide through the woods to where Godric Gryffindor's Sword was hidden. Snape's Patronus mirrored Lily's due to his unspoken love for her that began when they were small children. |
Nymphadora Tonks | Werewolf (previous Patronus unknown) | The form of Tonks' Patronus changed in 1996. It became a werewolf due to her love for Remus Lupin, though Harry Potter and Hermione Granger initially believed it was a black dog, triggered by the death of her second cousin Sirius Black (whose Animagus form was a black dog). Changes of Patronus are rare and usually caused by devastating life traumas. Occasionally when a witch and a wizard are married, their Patronuses will match each other (most likely because the witch/wizard's happy thought will be that of their spouse). |
Arthur Weasley | Weasel | First seen when he sent a message about Rufus Scrimgeour's arrival on Harry's seventeenth birthday. Later seen when Arthur sent a Patronus to 12 Grimmauld Place to inform Harry, Ron and Hermione that the Weasley family was safe. |
Ginny Weasley | Horse | Seen in the last Dumbledore's Army meeting in 1996. |
Ron Weasley | Jack Russell Terrier[12] | Seen in the last Dumbledore's Army meeting in 1996 and in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. |
Dolores Umbridge | Cat | While interrogating Muggle-borns at a trial, she had cast a Patronus to ward the Dementors from the prosecutors. Her favourite animal, as shown by the many plates with cats on them in her office. She was able to cast the Patronus due to her affinity with the locket Horcrux's evil influence. |
Behind the scenes[]
- Two Patronuses planned for the films but ultimately cut include a Thestral and a chimpanzee[13]
- The Patronuses of James Potter and Minerva McGonagall match their respective Animagi form. These are the only characters whose Patronus and Animagus forms are known. It is uncertain whether all Patronuses will match the form of the Animagus, but so far, an instance of differing forms has not been revealed.
- In the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a white peacock appears in the gardens of Malfoy Manor. Some fans believed this bird to be Lucius Malfoy's Patronus. However, J. K. Rowling stated that no Death Eater except Severus Snape could (or had a need to) conjure a Patronus, because Death Eaters fight alongside that which Patronuses fight against.[14] This means that the peacock was in fact a living creature. It is stated in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that the creature was i, in fact,n albino peacock.
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the more moderate Expecto Patronum is a ball of light (before cast, a white ring goes up Harry's arm and if it reaches top of the wand, Harry has to try the spell again) and is used only to attack Dementors. At the climax of the game, a stag (Harry's Patronus) jumps out of the wand to drive away all the Dementors nearby attacking Harry and Sirius.
- In the said video game, the first video game adaption of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4/5-7 the Patronus Charm appears to push the Dementors away with the first shot and a second shot kills them.
- The lecture that Harry gives on Patronuses to Dumbledore's Army in the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is extremely similar to the lecture Remus Lupin gave him in the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Dolores Umbridge's Patronus seems to emanate a shield that keeps the Dementors separated from everyone in the courtroom. In addition, Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus is described in the novel as taking the form of a lynx, however in the film it is depicted as a shimmering comet of light from which springs silvery images of witches and wizards screaming in terror as Kingsley's voice details the death of Scrimgeour and the fall of the Ministry.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Voldemort, Lucius Malfoy, Walden Macnair, Barty Crouch Jr., and an unnamed Death Eater can all cast the spell, despite the fact that Rowling stated that no Death Eater besides Severus Snape could produce a Patronus.
- According to W.O.M.B.A.T., it is possible that Patronuses vary in strength according to which animal's form they take. Later canon from Wonderbook: Book of Spells, however, stresses that this is not the case and that the form of the animal has no correlation to the strength of the Patronus (see, for instance, Illyius and Symposia Rawle).
- The Patronus spellbook, owned by Remus Lupin, includes information and instruction on the Patronus Charm.
- In an interview, J. K. Rowling stated that the happy memory that would produce the strongest Patronus for her would be the births of any of her three children, though a close fourth would be when she learned that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was going to be published.[15] She has also stated that she'd like for her Patronus to be an otter, like Hermione's, but she has a feeling it might actually be a large dog.[14] Additionally, in a 2000 interview, she stated that the Patronus Charm was her favourite spell in the series so far.[16]
- Although Lupin provides most of the information within the books about the Patronus Charm, his Patronus is never identified.
- Luna Lovegood's hare Patronus is possibly a reference to the moon rabbit, a figure in East Asian mythology.
- Learning to cast a Patronus is one of the tasks given to the player in the final Chapter of the game Wonderbook: Book of Spells. For learning the incantation and gesture, the player is given the Trophy "Expecto Patronum!" On the next page, the player is given the chance to cast a true Patronus, the form of which is apparently chosen randomly. Amongst the possible Patronuses are a bat, a bull, a cat, a goat, a horse, a rabbit and a scorpion.[17] For discovering their Patronus, the player is awarded the Trophy "True Patronus."
Patronuses in the films[]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, his Patronus physically attacks the Dementors by charging at them, as depicted in the books. Also, Patronuses produced by the members of Dumbledore's Army make noises and are capable of interacting with physical objects, such as Ron's dog Patronus knocking over Neville Longbottom.
- There was a noted change in appearance of Patronuses in general in the Order of the Phoenix movie. In movies 5-8, Patronuses very wispy and airy, while in the third film they look more substantial, solid and brighter.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, during the infiltration of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge's Patronus was very clearly seen several times in the same scene and often looked less like a cat and more like a reanimated, feline corpse, with the skeletal features visible. This is odd for a Patronus (they usually look quite 'alive' and well) and its twisted form may be a nod to both Umbridge's nature and the circumstances under which it was cast.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Patronus in its powerful wave-like form emits a deep reverberating sound. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 this effect was also used when Aberforth Dumbledore protected Hogwarts from Dementors.

Considerations When Selling…Or Buying
Important questions to ask when looking at a business…or preparing to have your business looked at by prospective buyers.
• What's for sale? What's not for sale? Does it include real estate? Are some of the machines leased instead of owned?
• What assets are not earning money? Perhaps these assets should be sold off.
• What is proprietary? Formulations, patents, software, etc.?
• What is their competitive advantage? A certain niche, superior marketing or better manufacturing.
• What is the barrier of entry? Capital, low labor, tight relationships.
• What about employment agreements/non-competes? Has the seller failed to secure these agreements from key employees?
• How does one grow the business? Maybe it can't be grown.
• How much working capital does one need to run the business?
• What is the depth of management and how dependent is the business on the owner/manager?
• How is the financial reporting undertaken and recorded and how does management adjust the business accordingly?

By Vince Chadwick
PARENTS of women with intellectual disabilities are going straight for sterilisation procedures rather than ''existing and viable options'' to help control menstruation and contraception, a national Senate inquiry has heard.
Associate Professor Sonia Grover, a gynaecologist at the Royal Children's Hospital, told the hearing she was horrified when she received ''straight-out'' requests for hysterectomies. She said increasing access to respite care, helping women manage their periods, and ensuring contraception is in place are options ''so these young women, if they are able, can enjoy a close sexual relationship without risks of pregnancy if they are not able to have a pregnancy and care for a child''.
Under Australian law, parents wishing to sterilise a child or adult children who cannot give consent for non-therapeutic reasons must apply to the Family Court or, in some states, a guardianship board.
However, Dr Grover expressed frustration with the therapeutic test. ''The question really is: Is this a procedure you would do on a non-disabled person?'' she said. ''We should not be doing a sterilising procedure if we would not be doing it in somebody who did not have a disability.''
The inquiry into the involuntary or coerced sterilisation of people with disabilities in Australia began in September as part of the government's response to a series of calls from the United Nations for an end to non-therapeutic sterilisation without consent, regardless of disability.
The executive director of Women with Disabilities Australia, Carolyn Frohmader, said options such as family planning and menstrual management were not being explored because the sexuality of young women with disabilities was not widely accepted.
''Parents and other care-givers are not made aware of these or are discouraged from understanding their effectiveness,'' Ms Frohmader told a recent hearing in Melbourne.
In one case from Queensland in 2010, an 11-year-old intellectually disabled girl (''Angela'') was sterilised after she began getting her period, which was heavy and irregular, at age nine. Contraceptive pills were ineffective, two gynaecologists reported she would benefit from the removal of her uterus, and a Family Court judge was satisfied less-invasive treatments had been exhausted.
''I am not a doctor but I am the mother of a nine-year-old child and I found that case very problematic for a whole range of reasons,'' Ms Frohmader said.
The inquiry has so far received just five submissions, including one from a parent explaining her wish to have her 27-year-old intellectually disabled daughter sterilised.
''Her own life is not stable enough to support another life,'' the parent wrote. ''Advocates who say she has the 'right' to have a child need to factor in her ability to be responsible for that child.''
The author said they had already raised three children, but at 54 did not want to raise their grandchild. ''Sterilisation of my daughter is one thing that I can ensure for her before I die, otherwise who will?''
The inquiry is receiving submissions until February 22 and is due to report on April 24.
