Chapter 137: The Half-Blood Prince
A/n: Chapter 136 was posted yesterday, this one is (finally) the last Chapter.
Severus was on his knees in front of an open cavity behind one of the store cupboards in the Dungeon hideout. It was where he had hid his Great-grandfather's book; Lily's handwritten notes; the lock of hair she had given him back in third year for preparing Invisible Ink...
It was that he cradled in his hand now. It lay like a dark-red, glossy ribbon across his palm, soft and sweet-smelling. It felt almost like he still held a part of her somehow, but he knew it was only an illusion brought on by the smell of her, by the many spells crowding his mind as he thought about what a single strand of that lock of hair could make possible. It was only the end of June, but Lily had become like a ghost in his life: there but not there, transparently visible...
A rat stood on its' haunches a few feet away, watching him intently through bright, cunning, black eyes and twitching whiskers.
He glared at it and turned to put the lock of Lily's hair back into the small hiding place he had created by removing one of the old stones of the dungeon wall. Placing it gently in a small box on top of his Great-grandfathers tome The Dark Arts, he muttered the incantation that caused the old stone to grind back into place. It felt uncomfortably like he was burying someone or something.
Perhaps he was.
Noticing that the rat was still intently observing his movements, Severus pointed his wand at it - these damned rats had gnawed some of his textbooks and ingredients, but the rat took one look at the wand and scurried off towards the door, just as though it knew he was about to curse it.
It passed through the door unimpeded, for the magical seal did not repel vermin. Severus was surprised that the magical seal still worked at all, given what had happened between him and Lily. Their magic had been so closely connected when they had set up that magical barrier that Severus had fully expected to see it fail somehow, to find it dissipated, the spell broken just as effectively as his heart had been. But the faint, ice-cold feeling every time he passed through it assured him that it was still strongly in place and would allow none but himself and Lily through it.
Only Lily would never come through it again.
He was sure of that now. It had taken a whole week of shocked denial after that fatal day of their DADA exam to realise that that had been the last day Lily Evans spoke to him as a friend.
He had begged her forgiveness that same night, something he had never begged of anyone alive, but she had been angry and unwilling to listen. She hadn't given him a chance to explain why he considered her so very different from others. And the reason why, had nothing to do with being Muggleborn or not! The reason was because she was Lily Evans and he had been hopelessly in love with her since they were children.
That would have been a difficult thing to explain, even if there weren't so many sinister reasons not to! But she had stormed off inside the common-room, before he could stop her, closing the portrait quickly behind her, leaving him staring at the Fat Lady, his hands slammed pleadingly against the old portrait. The Fat Lady's eyes remained closed in pretended slumber, but there was a deep, rosy flush on her plump cheeks that Severus did not like. Whether it was disgust or pity, he didn't care anymore. His hands had balled into fists against the canvas, then he pushed away from it and with a wave of his wand extinguished the one remaining torch at the end of the corridor, plunging himself into darkness, so that the painted old harridan would not see his face.
He didn't know how long he stood in numb shock outside the Gryffindor common-room, trying to imagine – to feel - what Lily was doing on the other side, but his heart almost stopped altogether when he heard the portrait open again, and Lily came back to give him the pendant and tell him she'd seen the memory inside.
He had felt a chasm open in front of him at that revelation! Her face had been wet with tears and there was blood on the palm of her hand. It couldn't have been more than a few hours since she had opened it. He remembered how, in a disassociated kind of way, he had even felt guilty for having unwittingly caused Lily to cut herself.
He had expected her to shout at him for daring to mess with her mind, and she was a bit angry, but more so at whatever she had seen of the Dark Lord in that memory.
He had almost given in when she had placed her hand so gently on his arm, pleading for the truth, asking him to trust her. He had almost told her then, that Voldemort had his eyes on her, on both of them, and that there was no other way of ensuring she got out of the war unscathed. But if he had, it would have been a betrayal in the Dark Lord's eyes, and he would have found out, just as surely as the rumoured taboo he placed on Death Eaters gave away those who uttered his name with disrespect. Voldemort always knew everything. And Lily's words proved him right, for she confirmed she would have gone running straight to Dumbledore...
And he wouldn't have convinced Lily anyway. It was still too early, she still laboured under the misguided impression that the war could be won by those who wanted the magical community to stagnate under present conditions, and see magic itself slowly disappear, eroded by the dwindling numbers of witches and wizards, and by the dilution of magical blood through intermarriage with muggles.
He veered away sharply from such thoughts. Lily's blood, wherever it came from, was so powerfully magical, that she would be an asset to the whole wizarding world; though, of course, to him she was precious just because it was her, Lily. With a shock of understanding, he realised that even now, if Lily had to suddenly lose all her magic, he would still want her and no-one else, for nothing and nobody mattered to him as much as she did...
He had tried to tell her that, that night, when she asked him why he had given her back her memory in the Pendant. He had tried to remind her, in a last ditch attempt to keep her there, of what she had seen in the pendant, but the sad look in her eyes told him it was too late.
She said she knew the reason why he refused to tell her what she meant for him. But she didn't understand the real reason - not all of it. However, before he could contradict her, to his complete amazement, Lily, unpredictable as ever, had whispered the words that he had refused to let pass his lips...
'I will always love you. Always' she had whispered.
He couldn't help himself then. God help him, but he couldn't help kissing her, for as long as he could, clutching her fiercely to him, as though somehow, that would keep her there with him forever. But he knew it wouldn't. He had seen her tears and he knew, when Lily said goodbye, that something had broken inside her and it wouldn't be the same again.
But he hadn't wanted to believe it. Hope springs eternal far more frequently in youth than in cynical old age, and Severus was still very young, as well as ambitious and strong-willed. He couldn't stop thinking that she'd returned his kiss after all: in spite of what he'd done to her memory, in spite of her misgivings about the Dark Lord's shadowy plans; in spite of his looks, his House, and his poverty-riddled background; she'd kissed him, and this time it was with the full knowledge and possession of her memory!
So he had bided his time the following days, hoping to catch her alone in the Great Hall for lunch or breakfast during that weekend, but he was disappointed, for when she did finally venture downstairs on Sunday evening for supper, she was surrounded in a tight pack by Gryffindor girls, who did not leave her alone for one second. Apart from looking a bit pale and thin, she looked fine. He tried to catch her eye from the Slytherin table, but she did not look once in that direction, though the girls surrounding her more than made up for it with the belligerent looks they cast at him.
It was the same during their last week of exams. He tried to keep his distance at first. Lily had been upset enough that night and did not want that to affect her exams. But throughout Potions on Monday, and Care of Magical Creatures on Tuesday, she determinedly avoided him, and her face still had a pale, marble-like quality that started to worry him, even though he could see that she had at least done as well as he had in Potions, and certainly better than him in Care of Magical Creatures. Finally, Wednesday night, after their Astronomy practical exam, he managed to corner her briefly as they were putting away their telescopes and asked her how she'd done in Arithmancy that morning.
It was an innocuous enough question (Mary MacDonald was already looking daggers at him) and a stupid thing to ask really, but he was desperate just to say something – anything – that would get her to talk to him. What Lily answered, however, really threw him. She told him politely and briefly which questions she answered; what she thought the answers were; and that she'd done reasonably well, then finished with a polite smile before bidding him goodnight and leaving with Mary through the turret. He was left staring disbelievingly at her. It was like she was speaking to a complete stranger - the same polite friendliness with which Lily spoke to everyone. Only it held none of the warmth that Lily Evans infused in her words even when speaking to complete strangers. It wasn't exactly coldness, just an emptiness of feeling that was completely unlike her.
It was the same the next day, after History of Magic, their final exam. He caught up with her as she was leaving the Great Hall, and ignoring the looks on her girlfriends' faces, he tried to speak to her again. She actually fell back slightly to let him speak, but her replies had the same chillingly polite, coldly indifferent quality about them that Narcissa Black would have been proud of. It wasn't what he'd been expecting: he had expected further recriminations, or a vehement insistence that he leave her alone, or, Merlin forgive him, he had even hoped that perhaps, just perhaps, there would be a blush or a confused shyness in her expression at what had transpired between them. But this calm politeness left him speechless. It was so un-Lily-like he forgot what else he had to say to her, and was left staring, white-faced, at her until she politely bade him goodbye again with a small smile that barely wrinkled the corners of her mouth. Lily's smiles usually used up the whole of her face, crinkling up her eyes, making their green light shine brighter. Now there was a dead, hard quality about her eyes that he had last seen the day he'd called her Mudblood.
He'd have preferred it a thousand times over if she'd shouted angrily at him, even for all to hear, about how badly he'd treated her, or even if she'd've hexed him soundly! This polite indifference was worse than if she'd slapped him in the face!
It was only the pale, taut lines of her face, and the brief flash of something familiar in the green depths of her eyes before she turned away from him, that gave an indication as to what this resolve was costing her.
He had watched her figure join that of her friends down by the lake in the bright sunshine that last day of their exams, his mind only then starting to reluctantly accept that things had changed for good between them. Even as she moved away from him, he could see her tense, hunched shoulders relax as she hailed the other girls sitting by the lake, her voice sounding immediately happier and relieved, as soon as she was not talking to him.
The scene, with the chattering, laughing students, the lake and the sunny skies seemed like a déjà-vu of what had happened a week earlier, even though Potter and his gang were not in sight, so he had made his way straight to the castle dungeons to spend the remaining few days before the end of the month in the cool, undisturbed depths of his dungeon hideout, failing miserably at forgetting what had happened.
Even so, treacherous hope kept intruding, saying that perhaps, when they were alone again in Castleforth, away from everything that had ruined their friendship, Lily would come round, perhaps something would happen that would make her secretly admire (like Narcissa had admired Lucius) the brave young rebels who had taken on the whole might of the Ministry in order to fight for the right to carry a wand openly; perhaps she was just confused at the prospect of contradicting her own principles...
The core of cold, logical reasoning that never deserted Severus even in the direst situation, was telling him that he was a fool to think she would, but then Lily Evans hadn't met the Dark Lord...
Severus had at least managed to spare her that. Lily just didn't understand how right he was about everything, and more importantly, how powerful! And he did not suffer fools gladly. He had seen Voldemort's wrath and it hadn't been pretty! He couldn't just walk away from it all, especially with Lily directly involved. No-one ever did and remained alive to tell the tale, rumours said, and he believed them.
And he was the only flimsy barrier that remained between Voldemort's wrath and Lily Evans!
For the Dark Lord would get to know, if he didn't already, that he had fought with Lily and he wouldn't be pleased. His calling her a Mudblood had certainly raised his status among many Slytherins, who could never understand why he still associated with her. The story of what happened that day under the Beech tree had done the rounds of all common-rooms, though probably it was only in Slytherin that his actions had been applauded. They thought he'd put Evans in her place, and even more importantly, he had punched the Gryffindor Quidditch champion in the face!
But he had seen Seth Mulciber looking coldly at him. Uncharacteristically, Mulciber had told him nothing yet – his Uncle's death had curbed his excesses, but he was still watching him, a calculating look on his face.
The opportunity for studying the rare power of Combined Magic had been put on hold because of his quarrel with Lily. The news of this would soon reach the Dark Lord and he would be angry – very angry. If he, Severus was not around to bear the brunt of that anger, then possibly Voldemort might even seek out Lily and vent his anger on her, or else try to force her to cooperate.
And Lily would not be forced. Severus understood her well enough to know that she was very much a free spirit. She would not yield and she would be broken in the attempt.
He could not risk that.
He needed to face Voldemort again. He did not know what he could do - perhaps he could buy some more time, or perhaps, with some luck, convince him Lily was useless now. After all, she couldn't be accused of having betrayed the Dark Lord, if he hadn't told her what he wanted her to do.
But she did know, whispered a treacherous voice in his head. You made it possible by foolishly sharing your mind, your emotions, with her that Christmas afternoon. Now she is in a worse danger than she was in before you wiped out her memory!
If anyone had to read her mind, or even slip her some Veritaserum ... Aurors were licensed to do that...the secret of their combined magic would be out as well as the Dark Lord's intentions, and that would mean trouble from both warring factions. Probably it would be more likely Dumbledore who'd forage into his student's minds, if he convinced his own self-righteous conscience that it was for her own good. But if the worst had to happen, and Voldemort decided to investigate Lily's capabilities for Combined Magic for himself, then it would be a disaster! If he, Severus, did not manage to turn Lily round by the time she came to graduate and leave Hogwarts for good (and he knew that the chances of that happening were very slim now), he knew that Lord Voldemort would seek her out for himself. It would happen sooner or later, and since Lily had no Occlumency skills to speak of, Voldemort would see everything: - see her blind faith in Dumbledore; her choice of supporting the wrong side in this war; and he would see what happened last Christmas as well as hear their final conversation outside Gryffindor common-room. Voldemort would see him, Severus, vacillate in his resolve, though perhaps he could explain that he was pretending to sympathise with Lily in order to win her affection, the same like he had seen Lord Voldemort do the night they flooed to that deserted house, in order to win over the students brought before him.
All these reasons had flashed through his head, leaving a cold fear in their wake, when Lily had revealed what she had seen.
That was why, that night, he hadn't allowed the words Lily so obviously wanted to hear, pass his lips.
She herself was already in an extremely vulnerable position now, and if he had told her the truth, that his true love, his true loyalty, would always lie with her, then that would seal his fate as a betrayer in the Dark Lord's eyes, and also make him more vulnerable in Dumbledore's prying eyes. And he trusted that old, conniving, twinkly-eyed Headmaster even less than those sadistic Aurors, like Sol Fenwick, him and his Order were in league with. The latter, at least were easy to understand and predict, but Dumbledore was a completely different story. He felt there was so much more than benevolence behind those piercing blue eyes, though he could never be sure, exactly, what there was.
Madeira had always taught him to be wary of handing over emotional ammunition to such wizards. Madeira herself was trapped by her own emotional baggage into causing the death of the man she loved.
However, he had to admit that at this point, his most immediate concern was not Dumbledore, but Voldemort...
He had seen with his own eyes what happened to betrayers. ... the smell of burning flesh, the sight of Percival Prewitt's corpse going up in flames, still haunted his nightmares.
He was Lily's only protector now, for only he knew what Voldemort was after, and the Dark Lord was not easily put off. He would re-surface in one or both their lives sooner or later, for the War had gathered so much momentum that it had spread across all of Britain and beyond. No-one, magic or even muggle, was unaffected, and the ranks of the rebel Death Eaters were swelling at an extraordinary rate, (which clearly demonstrated, if nothing else did, just how discontented the magical community was with the way things were run by the Ministry)!
It would not be long before the numbers of the Dark Lord's forces were large enough to be classified as a true army, and now that Voldemort had discovered their secret, the power of their Combined Magic, he would pursue them both for the use of their magic as a 'weapon', but also to stop it from falling into Dumbledore or the Ministry's hands!
He sighed heavily and stood up. Right now, he could do nothing more. He pushed the Dark Lord from his mind, the reckless, restless mood that had plagued him in the past few days since the end of exams, returning: he'd deal with him when the time came.
In the meantime...he went over to one of the desks, shoving some books into his bag and returning the rest with a wave of his wand to the open shelving of one of the cupboards. Today was the 30 th of June, and tomorrow he'd be leaving Hogwarts for Spinner's End.
It was the first time in years that the grim prospect of returning home was unmitigated by the fact that he would be alone with Lily for the duration of summer. His mouth set in a grim line. Well, perhaps it was time he struck out a bit on his own now! He looked down at the last book on the desk. It was his mother's old Potion Book Advanced Potion-making. He had been debating whether to take it home with him or not. He decided he would. It was next years' textbook, and it held more than just stuff on potions: it held his growing skills both in Potion-making and in forging ahead, proud and alone, in the field of ancient magic, taking the first steps in that art he knew would one day be famous for.
And, with his mother around to confuse the Trace, he might just be able to practise some of that magic if he was confined to Spinner's End.
Confined there he would be, for he certainly would not be going round to Lily's house this summer! He would never, for the rest of his life, lay himself so vulnerably at anyone's feet again, or beg so humbly as had that night outside Gryffindor common-room! Lily had seen what she meant to him, she'd seen him lose control as he had never done since before he was too young to remember, and yet she'd refused to forgive him! Or if she had forgiven him the 'Mudblood', yet she didn't trust him anymore. It was the one thing he could be sure of, because though he had gone over that night's conversation a hundred times over in his mind, he still felt a bit confused over why had she severed all contact with him (he discounted that parody of polite conversation outright).
Or rather, he knew what she had objected to, but damn it all, he was risking his neck for her (though perhaps she didn't know all the details about that)!The least she could do is drop that false tone of indifference that didn't suit her one bit, and look him in the eyes with some meaning! Just because he supported the opposing side in this war, the side fighting the Ministry, didn't mean they had to stop being... well … friends, at least! Why the bloody hell was she doing this to both of them?
But he knew the answer to that question. Much as he hated to admit it, he had misjudged Lily. He had taken too much for granted, especially her warm, forgiving nature. He breathed heavily through his nostrils, trying to calm his racing thoughts. Admittedly, Lily couldn't see what she stood to gain as a muggleborn and he wasn't free to tell her, but still, even though he knew that things couldn't go back to what they were before, not after what happened, but surely this parody of friendship couldn't be what Lily had in mind, either? He'd rather not talk to her at all, than have her speak to him like that!
He scowled down at the open book Advanced Potion-making on the desk before him, realising he was leaning on the desk with clenched fists again. Somehow, these last few days, he was finding himself ever more often with fists curled into balls, eyes staring in mixture of anger and horror as he lived and relived that fateful day, that fateful night, over and over again, as though that way he could find answers, find solutions to fix the unfixable, to erase the hateful memory. His worst memory.
He slowly forced himself to loosen his grip, one finger at a time, and to breathe evenly. He knew he was only trying to whip himself into being angry with Lily to make the separation easier. He couldn't be angry with Lily Evans for long. Besides, the last time he did, he had called her a Mudblood, and his whole world had come tumbling about his ears.
Potter was to blame for that! That hated name acted like a catalyst for the anger that seethed like lava within him, these days it was barely millimetres below the surface of his control, and his fists clenched again, the desk swimming in a red mist before his eyes. If that bloody bastard hadn't humiliated him that day, if he hadn't made him so fucking mad with rage and shame, he wouldn't have lashed out at the only person he cared about in the whole castle, and right now, he could have been looking forward to spending the summer with Lily! He slammed his fists on the desk, setting the inkwells rattling, wishing he had Potter's face within reach so he could smash his fist into his face again!
But Potter and the rest of the Marauders had been keeping away from him, just as he was steering clear from them.
An uneasy truce he knew would only last till the end of the OWLs.
Forcing himself to breathe deeply till the desk swam into view again; his anger subsided with the grim promise that he would never ever allow himself to be humiliated by Potter again. He'd rather use an unforgiveable curse and risk Azkaban, than allow Potter to publicly humiliate him again. And if Potter dared look at Lily Evans again...
He shook himself angrily. Well, he probably wouldn't: Lily made it abundantly clear that she preferred the Giant Squid to Potter.
As for himself, he would pick up the pieces and start again, and carve himself out a life that would fulfil all the ideals and goals he had set for himself. He would take over where his Great-grandfather had left off and become a respected scholar in the re-discovery of Ancient Magic. In a few more months he would be of age…
Somehow the thought of being so close to the day when he would finally be free to use magic, something he had so long anticipated, triggered a new sensation in him. As the anger of a moment before grudgingly dissipated, he felt a new resolve take hold of his mind, and suddenly a shiver of excitement ran through him. He could feel the thrill of being on the threshold of something new, of infinite possibilities, and a new energy coursed through him, a concentrated, single-minded purpose that successfully pushed the dull, aching throb of Lily's rejection to the back of his mind, where he hoped it would be, if not forgotten, then at least temporarily ignored.
And he would join the Death Eaters...Not only because that was the only way he could protect Lily when the time came, but also because he wanted prove to himself, to the Dark Lord, and to all the wizarding world at large, that he, Severus Snape, a half-blood, was worthy to stand amongst the elite of those Pure-blood snobs. And the Dark Lord would take him for what he was, alone and on his owns merits, or not at all. He would become a Death Eater without the extraneous magic the presence of Lily would have provided. He did not need that advantage. He'd stand alone.
And, as he allowed the feverish energy to course through his veins, filling him with renewed vigour, he knew he didn't even care anymore what it took. Something had broken inside him too, and the previous reckless mood was increasing to a point of rash insanity – he felt like he had overdosed on Euphoria-inducing Elixir - there were no barriers to what he could do now and the possibilities seemed endless, the consequences unimportant. It was a guilt-ridden feeling of liberation, but an exciting one, nonetheless.
He looked down at the flyleaf of the battered book lying open before him. There should have been 'Eileen Prince' written there, but his mother hadn't even signed it. Was the memory of her Grandfather's banishment from Hogwarts still too fresh? Well, he didn't care! It should have born the proud name of Prince.
And it would again.
He was a Prince. He had always felt the link to the Prince side of his family much more strongly anyway.
He slowly took a long, black quill into his hand, but as the nib hovered over the book's flyleaf he paused, his mind going back to a promise he had made a couple of years ago, in the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree in the muggle home of the red-headed girl that had so recently become a shadow in his life. They had been looking at the young buck on the Armorial crest of the Snape and Evans family crest, and Lily had extracted a promise from him that he never forget his muggle roots. It was as though she felt the need, even then, to be somehow connected to him, even through their common, muggle, roots.
If she'd thought about it, it was really their magic that had first linked them so inextricably together.
He leaned over the desk and flipped over the pages till he got to the back cover. This signalled the end of era and the beginning of a new one next year, when he'd actually start using this sixth-year textbook. He slowly reached out to dip the quill in the ever-ready inkwell embedded at the top of the desk. He hesitated a moment but then a grim, cynical smile spread across his thin face.
He never broke a promise: he would always remember his muggle roots: in defiance of all the snobbish purebloods in Slytherin and those in the Dark Lord's ranks, he would never, ever, hide the fact that he was half-blood.
But this book represented a fresh start too. A new name, but one that was ancient, and was his by right of blood: Prince. He had decided long ago that he would bring back the respect that name deserved.
Placing the nib of the quill on the yellowing pages, at the bottom of the back cover, where the mystery would be even more pronounced than the prominence of the front page, he wrote in black ink:
This Book is the Property of the Half-Blood Prince.
With a last grim smile, he closed the book with a snap, stuffed it in his bag and strode out of the Hogwarts dungeon into the darkness of the labyrinthine corridors outside and the start of a new life.
A/n: This is the end of the fic that revolves around Sev and Lily's childhood and then their Hogwarts' days: their early formative years. I had to end it at this point because it represents a very important turning point in both their lives. I hope the fic has gone some way in providing an explanation, as well as an exploration, of the main characters' later actions and choices, the ones we are familiar with from the HP series.
I will be updating my Profile Page re future fics/sequels, but for the next few months I will be lying dormant and will definitely not write anything. Since I started writing in Autumn of 2008, I have put a lot of RL stuff on the back burner in order to keep up the chapter-a-week pace, so now I have to deal with the accumulated consequences of that before I start to write again.
Lily and the Half-Blood Prince is my first and only fic, but I am sure it will not be my last, for I've enjoyed writing it and will continue to do so as long as my unlikely muse, Severus Snape, continues to inspire me.
So, finally, a big THANK YOU to all of you, for all the reviews that have made my writing doubly enjoyable: I've looked forward to reading your comments as much as I have looked forward to posting each new chapter! If you are still interested keep me on your alert list and hopefully one day, I'll have something new to offer ( check my updated profile page)!

Could Your Posture Predict Health Issues?
Let me share with you some very interesting research about posture and it's relationship to key health areas.
PLUS – One Easy Trick To Improve Your Posture
Increased Thoracic Kyphosis Increases Early Mortality:
This research study demonstrates the correlation of hyperkyphotic spinal posture as a predictor of early mortality in older men and women. Kado et al. (2005) evaluated the link between hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine and early mortality among community dwelling, elderly men and women.
Kado, D., Huang, M., Barrett-Connor, E., & Greendale, G. (2005) Hyperkyphotic Posture and Poor Physical Functional Ability in Older Community-Dwelling Men and Women: The Rancho Bernardo Study. Journals of Gerontology: Biological Sciences, 60(5), 633-637.
2) Hyperkyphosis in Thoracic Spine Predicts Mortality in Women:
Hyperkyphosis of the thoracic spine in women predicts mortality, independent of the presence of vertebral osteoporosis. The authors of this study concluded that the presence of an increased kyphosis in elderly women showed a 1.14-fold increased risk for death.
Kado, D. et al. (2009) Hyperkyphosis predicts mortality independent of vertebral osteoporosis in older women. Annals of Internal Medicine 150:681-687.
3) Hyperkyphosis Increases Risk for Fracture, Early Mortality, and Impairs Quality of Life:
The authors concluded that hyperkyphosis has many associated health complications, including increased risk for fracture and mortality, and is associated with impaired physical performance, health, and quality of life. Women with hyperkyphosis report more physical difficulty, more adaptations to their lives, and greater generalized fears than women without hyperkyphosis.

Hey, in this short video, I'm going to share with you some really scary research about posture, and how it relates to your health. And, also talk about an important feedback loop between posture and our emotions, plus I'm going to share with you my simple trigger tip, so you can have better posture, stand taller, and be healthier.
Hey, it's Dr Leevi from Wises Road Chiropractic. So, what is proper posture? Proper posture, just think about a nice, neutral spine. So, neutral spine, when we talk about the upper body, is that, from the side, your ear hole should be above your shoulder. So if you look at me from the side, a nice, proper, neutral posture should be like this, with the ear falling directly below the shoulder.
Unfortunately what we commonly see a lot now in society, with time spent on mobile devices, desk work, and our sedentary lifestyle, is people are losing the battle with gravity, and they end up in that hunched, sort of question mark position. So it's really common, instead of the ear being over the shoulder, we start to see that head drift forward and then the upper back start to round. And we get in that very round chested type of posture, that round shoulder type of posture.
That is not the posture that we want to be in. In fact, that increased curve, through the mid-back, that rounding through the mid-back, has actually been related to an early predictor of mortality. In other words, poor posture has been shown to correlate to an earlier death rate. So, really scary stuff.
Poor posture has also been shown to have;
- an increased rate of fractures – chance of fractures
- poor performance,
- a lower quality of life and performance.
When we talk about posture, from an emotional standpoint, there are so many things that we can talk about, but you yourself would know, there's such an intimate relationship between our mind, and the body. And, the body talking back to the mind. Really easy, when you think about things, and when people are trying to act like a depressed person, or a sad person, what type of posture are they going to adopt? They are going to adopt that forward hunch type of posture. And this is my depressed posture, my unhappy posture. It's also my stress posture. So when we think back in the day, when we get in that accelerator mode, that fight-or-flight stress response, we're in that protective posture aren't we, because we're going to run, or we're going to be prepared for a fight. So we shut down, and we protect ourselves.
So, really important to understand, your brain is feeding back to your body to control it, but, the body also feeds to the brain. So, if we are hanging out in that poor posture a lot, the messages that body is sending the brain, "I'm stressed. "I'm uncomfortable. "I'm in the fight-or-flight response. "I'm not happy." "I'm not positive." So, we see a very intimate relationship between body and the brain, and that's another reason why posture is so important.
So, what can we do about this?…
Along with getting adjusted with your chiropractic, and the the active exercises that I've been giving you, here's my simple posture trigger tip that I want to share with you. So you can use this any time throughout the day, just to help trigger your mind to get back in proper, normal posture. Really easy.
I call it the, "Where's my balloon" trigger. All you need to think about it is, think about a balloon, coming from the top of your chest, and the balloon goes up to the ceiling. And, it pulls your chest up to the ceiling. That's all you need to think about. So, when we are feeling like we're losing the battle with gravity, like that. You think about, you say to yourself, "Where's my balloon? "Where's my balloon." And the balloon, going up to the ceiling, like that.
Now, that's a really simple trigger that you can start using on a daily basis, just to bring your awareness to your posture.
Thanks again for watching. And if you know someone who could benefit from better posture, please share this video on your timeline, you never know who you could help out.
Thanks again for watching, and I'll speak to you soon.

Acquired: Pet store
Gender: Male
By Writerlady00
United States
Posted Nov 09, 2014
Peeper was my very first pet. His name was actually supposed to be "Peter," but since I was four years old my mom thought I said, "Peeper," and the name stuck. He was a gorgeous turquoise blue budgie, and uncommonly gentle. He was extremely tame, and he used to fall asleep tucked into my shirt collar while I read to him. (Yes, I read early and all the time.)
The only bad thing about Peeper was that my parents were new to small bird-keeping, and didn't have his wings clipped. I'd only had him for a few months when he flew into a window in the house and died a day or two later, likely from a brain hemorrhage. So, budgies are wonderful birds, but they are also delicate, and should have their wings clipped like any other bird who is not flight-trained. I have a special place in my heart for Peeper, who was the most gentle bird I ever knew. I would also not recommend them for very young children, as to keep budgies very tame they need a lot of handling. They are very easy to take care of, not needing a huge cage or a lot of extra kinds of food as parrots can do.

Spartanburg County School District 7 selected Harper to serve as the Construction Manager At-Risk for the construction of their new elementary school, Drayton Mills Elementary. During the design phase, Harper met regularly with the Project Team to provide input and analysis, empowering District 7 to make informed decisions concerning the final design of the building. Harper collaborated effectively with District 7 and its Design Partners throughout the 14-month timeframe to complete design.
- Performed two budget exercises as the design matured.
- Explored a variety of options relating to systems, exterior cladding, and finish materials. This provided information related to first-time costs, durability, energy efficiency, and life cycle costs.
- Created and maintained the Master Schedule outlining key activities for design, pricing exercises, permitting, owner decisions, and construction.
- Coordinated with utility providers to formalize a plan with design engineers for the removal of existing services and the provision of new services to feed the school.
- Performed additional exploration of the existing site conditions to better plan for the final grading design to mitigate costs for rock, unsuitable soils and excess top soil.
- Performed value management exercises to promote better value with minimal impact to overall design intent and result in more cost-effective solutions.
- Completed pricing and agreed upon the final Guaranteed Maximum Price.
When the project moved into construction, Harper's field team exercised strong leadership with a team of qualified trade partners to successfully complete the project on time and in budget. Harper engaged in key actions to produce the desired outcome for District 7:
- Managed the procurement and execution of an early site preparation package to meet the schedule requirement as the building design documents were completed.
- Conducted regularly scheduled Owner-Architect-Contractor Meetings (OAC) to promote alignment and clarity.
- Provided regular updates concerning costs and schedule.
- Effectively managed changes to the scope of the work securing accurate and competitive costs from vendors and trade partners. Presented information in a professional manner so that owner and design professionals could properly vet costs.
- Coordinated the efforts of the owner supplied systems and materials effectively with the overall construction schedule.
- Managed work adjacent to the school campus including DOT work on Skylyn Drive and the construction of a loop road constructed to county specifications.
- Produced a successful outcome for District 7.

"I like to to dig into the unknown and find out what I don't know."
My name is Esmaeil and I studied Production Engineering & Management at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Before that I had nine years of experience in ship building and the oil and gas industry.
What drives me personally is to provide good opportunities for my children. At work I like to to dig into the unknown and find out what I don't know. Not knowing something doesn't stop me, instead it's like I'm on a constant search to find something new. That's a good professional driver to work here, because you face challenges on a daily basis.
There's not much routine. Everyday you learn and have to solve something new, and day by day you pile up experience and knowledge. This really isn't like a more routine job, where you pretty much head in one direction. Here you have the opportunity to experience many new things and find new ways to move ahead.
The most interesting thing about modularity for me is that you can separate whichever product you have, whether it's a service, software or physical product, into smaller modules and still maintain a holistic view over the whole assortment in a very effective way. This is special.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Getting Error When Try To Root / Easiest Way To DoJul 21, 2010

Everytime i try to root i get an error whats the easiest way. I tried the one click root and the manual and they don't workView 9 Replies
Let me start by saying I am new to this so there is probably a really easy fix...here it goes
I am trying to root my Hero by following the guides that are provided in this forum. When I enter the following command I am getting an error.
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb devices
'adb' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I am sure I am doing something wrong. Any suggestions would be helpful. I did download the .6 update and reverted back to the .5 version.
I have tried rooting using both the Regaw method and using the writeup from CCapasso. Using the Regaw method after Step 3 I get the error msg "cannot stat 'unrevoked': No such file or directory. Using the CCappasso method after Step 6 I get the msg: [1]killed/data/local/asroot2/system/bin/sh.
I have downloaded the files and have them in C: drive
I have turned on debugging
I have unmounted the SD card
I have installed HTC Sync
I have phone on "charge only" when hooked to the computer
I am trying to route my HTC Hero (locked to Orange UK).Following jUsT2eXy's instructions :-
1)Download it.
2)Save it to your SD Card ROOT (not in any folders)
3)Open up a file manager on your phone (Download ASTRO File Manager from the marketplace..if you don't have a file manager..)
4)Find the 'InstantRoot.apk' file.
5)Run it.
6)It will say it's been successful
Ok, so on step 4, I am opening ASTRO, clicking InstantRoot, clicking Open App Manager (other displayed option is Browse file), clicking Install (then Install again). It then displays 'Application installed'. However, I get a notification stating 'Install Root failed / Root access was not acquired'. What am I doing wrong? More info if required Firmware = 1.5

I went to best buy to exchange my evo cause of some minor issues. It had the new ota update installed so I thought it was a pain in the butt to root it. So I got the new evo and I checked the software number and I have 1.32.651.6. Is it easier to update this phone to the new ota and use the simple root method over in xda or do it manually using the 1.32.651.6?View 3 Replies View Related

I'm looking for advice on the simplest and easiest way to root. I know theres something that wipes the phone, rolls back to 2.1 and then roots it. I just got my second eEo because my first overheats. It came with 2.2, is that an issue? What do I need to know about ROMs? I hear fresh evo is a good one. I don't mind losing all the sprint stuff as well as HTC. I prefer launcher pro so any widget loss doesn't bother me. I heard about the method to rollback 2.2, root it then whatever, but everywhere I found today from that day says that a simpler method should be out in a couple weeks. It has been a month, is there a simple point and click method yet?View 5 Replies View Related
i've tried out all the radios to test out which is the best for me..and i devided on the one that was based off the verizon radio..so i got an error message saying "You must be a Sprint Customer to use this feature" so i changed to the newest radio out 2.42.01.04.27 and i still get the same issue..what could it be?View 1 Replies View Related
have leak #3 and I got the OTA update a few days ago.I would like to go to ROOT.using EvilEris 3.0 I'm seeing all sorts of ways to do this..and looking for the simpilist fastest way.I'm familiar with the "put a file in the root of the SD card" and re-boot method. Is that the easiest way to get going? If so - what file do I need? "EvilEris3.0.zip" or "PB00IMG.zip" (and if so - do I need a "latest" one)?View 1 Replies View Related
Well, upon attempting to read as much as possible before taking the plunge, I've run across a few methods to accomplish the same thing. I'm currently running 2.1 OTA(stock) and wanted the most basic way to root with the least chance of bricking.
I've gone through the guides, but have also run into DroidMod's guide on flashing 2.1 with recovery.
RSD is a little intimidating to me and I'm afraid if I breathe wrong on the phone, it will become a paperweight.
Is using RSD the only/easiest way to gain root? Sorry for the redundant question, however there are a few threads on this topic and dated within a few months of one another and I'm which route to take.
I need the easiest route to root an HTC incredible. I'm not a technical expert.View 5 Replies View Related
What is the easiest way to root on froyo. It has to be very easy or I wont risk it. Apparently the one click I used on 2.1 wont work with 2.2View 6 Replies View Related
Just plucked up the courage to root my Desire. And now want to have a go at installing Froyo and looking for the easiest way. I've looked at ROM Manager and was wondering if its worth getting the paid version as it says you can get all the popular ROMs downloaded to your phone. Was wondering how good this app is and if anyone has had problems with getting the ROMs.View 11 Replies View Related
If this has been asked I cannot find it. What is the easiest, quickest method for root right now? There seems to be a new method being developed every week. I know there are basebands available to load that will help with the signal issues. Are there fixes with root that will resolve the audio issue with Pandora?View 8 Replies View Related
So I finally got the 2.0 root off that the guy before me had this phone on. He rooted it with droid mod, and that seemed pretty easy to use.

I recently rooted my phone and was wondering how to install custom themes and lock screens for my hero. I am new to this as the title implies, so a link/instructions on how to install/create these would be what I'm looking for. I also am looking for solutions that do not need to install a new ROM as I just want to mod the current one that I have since i haven't found one I like.

I recently installed the new security patch that came out around the release of the EVO because I was unaware of what it entailed. However this battery life problem has become sickening and I would really love to root my phone and get rid of all this sprint trash on my phone.View 3 Replies View Related
With a free sunday at my disposal, i thought i would try and sort my hero out as it has become super-laggy after the OTA 2.1 update (HTC hero locked to 3UK network, previously had 1.5).
So i've been trying to read as much as i can on this and other forums and got as far as installing Universal Androot, which reported success in rooting the phone.
However have now installed (and bought PRO ver) of Titanium Backup which refuses to recognize the root. It returns:
ERROR: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again.
Yet, TB is listed as 'allowed' under SuperUser Permissions. And even weirder when the error dialogue box comes up sometimes a strapline flashes briefly across the screen 'Titanium backup has been granted .. permissions'. I take it that this is Superuser informing me.
So why doesn't Titanium recognize the root? Have tried re-starting and rerunning Androot (which reports that phone is already rooted, do you still wish to proceed). It's almost as if superuser isn't giving the OK fast enough or something.
Obviously don't want to start messing around with ROMs if i can't first backup my data!
Does anyone know if the upcoming Android 2.1 update to the Sprint Hero will allow us to save apps to the SD card without having to root the phone? And also, some things to think about: remember that the Hero only runs class 2 speeds, even if the card is class 6. Do you think this will change once we receive Android 2.1? Because if not, I would imagine that the phone would be slow opening apps (assuming apps to SD will be available).I know that if they do program the Hero to allow class 6 speeds, and allow apps to SD (without root) then the Hero could run MUCH faster than it does now.View 2 Replies View Related

I am having a problem with my voicemail, not sure if it is related to my phone or not.
If my phone rings, and I ignore or miss the call, the caller will hear a recorded voice say "The number or code you have entered is incorrect, please check the number or code and try again. Message 7, Switch .."
BUT, if the phone never rings (like it cannot connect b/c of no service or in data and call never comes thru) then the caller is forwarded to my voicemail, can leave a message, and it comes thru on visual voicemail.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the voicemail app, no such luck. I think this may be a Sprint-side problem.

Depending on the size and type of business or government agency, there are rules, regulations, standards, legislation and court rulings that impact the security mission, and sometimes conflict with each other or are confusing.
But don't automatically knock regulations and rules; most have a genuine security purpose and can enhance the perception of the security operation while also helping justify the purchase of equipment and the contracting of services. They can be both "golden" rules to security's bottom line and a regular headache.
For bank security executives, it comes down to such regulations as the Bank Protection Act (BPA) and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).
A Must-Have Security PlanRevised in 1991, the BPA requires banks to adopt appropriate security procedures to discourage bank robberies, burglaries and larcenies, and to assist in the identification and prosecution of persons who commit such acts. A bank's board of directors is responsible for compliance, which requires a written security program for the bank's main office and branches. Each bank is required to have a designated security officer. The Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC each has its particular version of the BPA to enforce, but there is very little difference in the language in these versions.
In addition to door access controls, intrusion and holdup alarms and security video, bankers today must think about suspicious transactions, criminal referral forms and money laundering. Because of the BSA, many banks, for example, no longer sell negotiable instruments when purchased with cash, requiring the purchase to be withdrawn from an account at that institution.
According to John Shriner, senior vice president and director of physical security at Wells Fargo, the financial company, bank regulations are part of the routine business of these businesses. "There are compliance and risk management people aware of the overall environment. There is internal reporting to alert to potential noncompliance and security vulnerability on a regular basis." For him, a more recent challenge relates to physical access controls at the many branches around the country to meet both security and business needs.
With more than 20 years in the banking business, Shriner has seen a lot of change and improvements. A while back, banks changed from still camera use in lobbies to digital cameras. And financial institutions, especially in Japan and some other countries, employ biometrics at ATMs.
Hackers a New Financial Threat
Just this summer, a hacker in Miami was indicted for conspiring to hack into computer networks supporting major American retail and financial organizations, and stealing data relating to more than 130 million credit and debit cards.
Legislation and government regulations addressing these new-age threats have accelerated after the tragedy of 9/11. An initial step in fighting terrorism domestically, there is the USA Patriot Act, a statute originally enacted in October 2001 that has touched most everyone. The act increased the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury's authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhanced the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism.
Rules Covering Specific Businesses
Just as often, such rules are wrapped around an alphabet soup of terms such as TWIC, HIPPA, FIPS 201 and REAL ID, to name just a few. Knowledge and understanding of the rules and regulations specific to a type of business or agency can lead to security strength and specialties.
For instance, the unique circumstances and institutional cultural issues found in healthcare facilities play a major role in decisions regarding security staffing, according to a recent survey of hospital executives.
While quality of service, professionalism and cost were cited as important factors in staffing decisions, survey respondents agreed that security personnel must understand the cultural sensitivities and security challenges specific to a hospital setting.
The survey, which included interviews with senior level administrators at 22 organizations representing 190 acute care and specialty hospitals across the country, also underscored the importance of specialized training. In addition to understanding HIPAA and other healthcare regulations, administrators believe security personnel should receive training to de-escalate common hospital incidents and protect vulnerable populations including infants and behavioral health patients.
Healthcare Best Practices
Erik Dietrich, senior consultant, national facilities services, physical security and systems technology for Kaiser Permanente, said he stays ahead of the curve with "best practices that are out there. There also are construction standards which cover security and life safety."
Using self-imposed audits, Dietrich is measuring the performance of the security operations centers using a number of metrics such as ratios of systems to people and response time of the operator. "Operators appreciate this, feel more professional and improve with the input," he said.
Specific to HIPPA regulations, the Office for Civil Rights enforces that privacy rule, which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information, and the confidentiality provisions of the Patient Safety Rule, which protects identifiable information used to analyze patient safety events and improve patient safety. HIPPA goes beyond protecting records to include the placement, use, handling and storage of certain security video, too.
A more recent twist on HIPPA requirements may affect businesses not traditionally covered, according to Andrew Serwin, a partner with Foley & Lardner LLP, where he is chair of the privacy, security and information management practice. .
The FTC's Health Breach Notification Rule has its origins in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. According to most privacy experts, one of the administration's priorities is the expansion of personal health records (PHRs), while trying to maintain the privacy and security of these electronic health files. Vendors of PHR systems were recognized as falling outside the scope of HIPAA, even though the data stored within a PHR may be no different from that covered in another context by HIPAA's privacy and security requirements, said Serwin. The Final Rule specifies that notice of a breach must be made without unreasonable delay but, in no event, no more than 60 days from discovery. It also details the method and content of notification as well as a humbling notice to media if an incident affects more than 500 people.
While it may appear that the impact of the FTC's Final Rule is small because it focuses on vendors of PHRs, it also applies to related entities of the PHR vendor and any service providers supporting PHRs. Microsoft, Google, hospitals and health systems are increasingly offering PHRs to consumers, pointed out Serwin.
Accreditation Impact on Security
For hospitals in urban settings, as one example, the potential for violence in the emergency department often comes with the territory. Emergency departments (ED) are the country's 24/7 medical safety net, so any crime, drug-related activity, weapons and behavioral health issues that exist within the area surrounding the hospital can sometimes enter through the front door.
William (Bill) Masterton, chief operating officer, and Mike Dunning, director of security and emergency management, at the Atlanta Medical Center – part of Tenet Georgia, shared the commitment that "safety of the patients, employees and visitors is all important," said Masterton. Dunning added, "Located in the heart of the city, Atlanta Medical Center's ED treats patients from across the socioeconomic spectrum and accepts the challenges that accompany that mission. A year ago, the ED staff spoke up to request additional help securing the ED so they could keep their focus on caring for patients. To ensure success, everyone had to be on the same page from the beginning." So an ad-hoc security advisory committee was created, which included the ED manager and chief physicians. Among its accomplishments:
- Newly installed panic buttons promote a sense of "contact" with security for certain situations.
- A limit of two visitors per patient and the installation of card readers, intercoms and door buzzers help security control foot traffic.
- A system of codes allows security to know when not to let a visitor into the patient care area of the ED.
- Physical barriers and containment areas were set up for violent patients along with "quiet rooms" if they are placed in seclusion.
Much like healthcare facilities, colleges and universities are micro-communities with a diversity of stakeholders, including far-away parents; sprawling campuses in urban, suburban and rural areas; and unique regulations by some states and on the federal level.
eated in part by a lawsuit payout in a tragic campus murder, Security On Campus, an advocacy group honored last year as one of the 25th Most Influential by Security magazine, first lobbied states for safety and security regulations and then pushed through the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act on the federal level. One aspect of the federal legislation is the posting and distribution of statistics of certain crimes and offenses.
Challenges at Colleges and Universities
In fact, for the latter life safety need, more campus safety regulations on the federal side are coming down the road. Triggered by new higher education legislation, the proposed guidelines would overhaul how colleges and universities respond to and report campus emergencies, fires in student residences on campus, missing students and hate crimes. The U.S. Department of Education will publish the final rules next month.
Under the new guidelines, colleges would, among other things, have to articulate how they will confirm "all hazards" emergencies on campus and issue immediate notifications to the affected segment or segments of their campus population. They will also have to report an expanded list of hate crime statistics, including intimidation and theft. Colleges with student residential facilities on campus will have to disclose the level of fire safety in residences along with three years worth of statistics on fires as well as fire related deaths and injuries, in addition to its policy for dealing with missing students.
While there have been physical security improvements covering security video, bollards and door/gate access control, the granddaddy of much federally-directed anti-terror regulations, the federal Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, got the identity ball rolling when the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a program for improving the identification and authentication of Federal employees and contractors for access to Federal facilities and information systems. FIPS 201 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201) is a United States federal government standard that specifies personal identity verification (PIV) requirements for Federal employees and contractors.
It also provides detailed specifications that will support technical interoperability among PIV systems of Federal departments and agencies. It describes the card elements, system interfaces, and security controls required to securely store, process, and retrieve identity credentials from the card. The physical card characteristics, storage media, and data elements that make up identity credentials are specified in this standard.
No doubt, there have been successes and bumps along the FIPS 201 road.
Identity and Authentication
This is where specialty software development in physical security plays an essential role, according to Geri Castaldo, CEO of Codebench. "It takes a keen understanding of middleware and interfaces in the areas of HSPD-12, TWIC, First Responder Authentication Credential (FRAC) identity cards, and PIV II, among others," she said.
Castaldo worked with Bill Crews, port security and emergency operations manager for the Port of Houston Authority, on his TWIC project.
Anyone needing unescorted access to secure areas of the Port of Houston Authority, as well as any federally regulated facility along the Houston Ship Channel, must either have a TWIC card or be escorted while on the property.
The TWIC is a "smartcard" that contains the worker's name, photo and biometric information (fingerprint template). To obtain a TWIC, an individual must successfully pass a security threat assessment conducted by TSA, which looks at criminal background, immigrant status, terrorist watch list screening as well as mental capacity. It takes an average of 21 days from application to receive the credential. Individuals who are required to have a TWIC include certain port employees, longshoremen, truckers, steamship lines personnel, stevedores and vendors.
Crews wears a number of hats. "My job combines three things – maritime security, emergency operations and law enforcement." But, as with other security executives, he said "I have a business mission focus. It's all about moving the commerce, now with the aid of TWIC." Of course, there is intelligent video and intrusion detection as well as the on-site law enforcement and security officers. Still, the access control system (Amag Technology) tied into TWIC, thanks to Codebench as well as appropriate use of Datastrip handheld readers, makes the difference in meeting the regulation.
"It's a continuous process," contended Crews, who keeps closely in touch with colleagues at other ports and through the American Association of Port Authorities. "For key technology, you need to check out active installations and products that are being used." It also counts when service and systems providers know facilities such as ports and the government market overall.
So it's not surprising that many vendors and systems integrators have a focus on the sector. Joseph Menke, president, Electronic Security Concepts, sees solid growth in the government sector. "We handle work for the city of Phoenix and the Grand Canyon Airport, for example," he said. Many government agencies emphasize the need to have an audit track of who is coming into the sites. And with more sophisticated systems to meet regulations, mandates and even encryption, "you have to know what you are doing specific to information technology."
Cybersecurity Mandates Coming
There are, however, glimmers of hope. NIST recently published cybersecurity recommendations for government users to create a unified framework that will result in the defense, intelligence and civil communities using a common strategy to protect critical federal information systems and associated infrastructure. "NIST Special Publication 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations represents a solidification of the partnership between the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community and NIST and their efforts to bring common security solutions to the federal government and its support contractors," said Ron Ross, of NIST's computer security division. "The aim is to provide greater protection for federal information systems against cyber attacks."
Another case in point is the Common Access Card (CAC), a United States Department of Defense (DoD) smartcard issued as standard identification for active-duty military personnel, reserve personnel, civilian military employees and state employees of the National Guard and eligible contractor personnel. There are numerous versions of the CAC. It's used as a general identification card as well as for authentication to enable access to DoD computers, networks and certain DoD facilities. The CAC enables encrypting and cryptographically signing e-mail, facilitating the use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication tools and establishes an authoritative process for the use of identity credentials.
Changing CAC requirements was one challenge at the National Defense University, within Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. It provides graduate-level, joint professional military education for future leaders of the armed forces, State Department and other United States government agencies. Lincoln Hall, its newest among seven campus buildings, is a 250,000 square foot facility that houses classroom, meeting room and conference space.
Integrator Diebold was tasked with the design and layout of the electronic security solution and subsystems, and to represent the electronic aspects of the security subject matter. One particular challenge required an understanding of how the existing and next-generation common access card (CAC-NG) credential would impact the new system. The access system was engineered to ensure compatibility with current and forthcoming security card technology, including the more stringent FIPS 201 and HSPD-12 standards. The result: a "contactless" card technology that remotely connects with the reader's operating system but communicating the new upgraded technology and information.
Local Government and Information Requirements
So one firm saw an opportunity. With no standardized, dedicated and secure distribution infrastructure for disseminating critical instructions and information issued by local, state and federal officials that overcomes the delays and incomplete-distribution limitations of the everyday news-coverage system, enter America's Emergency Network (AEN). Its goal is to be sure that every emergency manager, whether from a large county or small town, has an outlet to reach the public, the media and other government officials. The AEN satellite-based video distribution system is designed to continue to operate after a disaster when all power and communications lines are knocked out.
Working more recently with VBrick's advanced IP-video distribution technology, AEN has deployed VBrick Systems to power its satellite-based emergency video distribution system.
Privately-owned or operated critical infrastructure ranging from utilities to petrochemical plants call for myriad life safety and security measures, especially as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and various infrastructure industries work through the various facilities and types of businesses with new physical and cyber rules and regulations.
Screening and Rules
Beyond smart hiring, a number of critical infrastructure security system solutions are fairly straightforward but important when it comes to security and utility operations in meeting rules and regulations.
To protect the water storage tanks of the borough of Kutztown, Pa., officials brought in IP video. The two massive tanks, located at separate remote sites, hold up to one million gallons and serve 15,000 residents. The existing surveillance system was upgraded after a group of individuals climbed one of the tanks – a prank which cost the municipality $9,000 and forced a 48-hour shutdown in order to inspect the premises and ensure the water supply was not compromised.
Both tanks have been equipped with wide dynamic range IP cameras (ioimage) with built-in self-sustained video analytics to monitor the top hatches and service maintenance ladders. Surveillance staff at the monitoring center is instantly alerted to unauthorized vehicles and persons entering the premises, loiterers and accidental security breaches such as an employee neglecting to lock a gate. Notifications are also sent to officials' Blackberries and via e-mail. The project and system, partially funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and installed by LANtek Inc., worked well, according to Frank Caruso, IT director for Kutztown. "Our previous surveillance system was unreliable and prone to false alarms," he said. "We had to search through reams of video to find what triggered an alert, which could have been anything from a deer to one of our own maintenance vehicles."
Grid Security More Complex
However, with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC-CIP) standards, the electric power industry has taken the lead in applying government mandated physical and cyber security requirements to the country's aging electrical grid.
The chemical industry followed suit with its own Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS), designed to properly regulate high-risk chemical facilities.
Rob Hile, director of integrated security systems with Siemens Building Technologies, said, "Elements can include command and control, multiple technologies, business process management, branding and public relations" as well as chemical industry and CFATS compliance issues." Hile's firm has a CFATS white paper available on the Web.
Future technology approaches, according to Hile, will include geospatial sensors and artificial intelligence as well as situational awareness. On the geospatial side, such sensors and devices can include, for example, flood gauges, air pollution monitors, stress gauges on bridges, Webcams and satellite-borne earth imaging devices. In much the same way that HTML and HTTP standards enabled the exchange of any type of information on the Web, micro and macro sensor networks built on standards could one day alert and track chemical-related security needs.
Monitoring Processes
This is causing many companies to seek out solutions that simply allow for a defensible position from an audit perspective, rather than a layered defense technology deployment that would allow for the company to truly achieve the physical and cybersecurity standards originally put forth, warned Brian Ahern, president and CEO of Industrial Defender. The company has performed more than 100 security assessments on critical infrastructure facilities such as chemical plants, electric power generation plants, transmission energy control centers, water plants and oil/gas production, refining and pipeline systems, since 2002. His bottom line advice: The government and private sectors can work together in order to move compliance solutions from "defensible" to "effective."
Enterprises should not base their security actions solely on avoidance of penalties, continued Ahern. There must be incentives on both the physical and logical sides. "Tax credits. The rate base. Are the citizens of the U.S. willing to pay for a secure infrastructure?" asked Ahern.
And, according to Ahern, there will be additional regulatory and legal concerns when it comes to the so-called smart grid. "We may be looking at a potential digital Pearl Harbor."
Avoiding the Dangers
"You just have to make sure that you are facilitating the business," observed Andrew Wartell, CEO, Wartell Consulting, LLC. Wartell was vice president of global security and director of special projects at Goldman Sachs, where he provided facility physical and technical security design, including the $2.1 billion Goldman Sachs headquarters building in New York City, among other security and compliance projects.
"For some industries facing new and emerging regulations, it will be tough for them to carve out the money for security," he added. "But, when it comes to systems, avoid grabbing onto technology just because it is neat."

This time of year I'm looking for lingerie that doubles as outerwear that I can wear to a festival or on a night out. I spotted the Lovehoney Strappy Opaque Body and thought it would be great to wear not only as underwear but at a forthcoming festival I'm attending, underneath a sheer top or coupled with a cropped jacket. Thanks to the Lovehoney team for sending me this to review!
My measurements & overall fit
This item comes in One Size which is usually approx size 6 – 16. I'm a size 10 with 32E boobs and it fits me really well. There's a lot of stretch to the material, enough that when I pull this I can make it double in size! So it should fit a variety of sizes.
Opaque Body – Looks
The Lovehoney Strappy Opaque Body is very well made with thicker fabric than I was expecting. It feels like a medium thickness high quality pair of opaque tights. I was pleased to spot the closed crotch! I prefer non-crotchless lingerie generally.
The double spaghetti straps shoulder straps are attached at the same place, which means you can wear them however you wish – one on top of your shoulder, one on the side, or both on top.
The Front
The Opaque Body has a straight neckline at the top with a netting-style section on top of my boobs which runs right down the centre to my naval. It showcases my cleavage beautifully. It's very revealing, but it can be altered. When I first tried it on my full boobs were showing including my nipples peeking out of one of the holes! After some adjusting, I had covered the girls up and just left the tops visible through the fabric.
The straps start a good few inches away from my armpits which for me means that, unfortunately, the little pockets of fat I have at the tops of my boobs are quite visible. If you don't have these pockets of fat then it won't be an issue! But for me, it does make me feel quite self-conscious. I appreciate that with a one-size piece it is made to fit everybody and if you are of a smaller frame then the straps may be closer to your armpits anyway. It's a minor gripe and not one that would put me off wearing it, but it doesn't sit as well on my shoulders as i might prefer.
I like to wear the straps both on my shoulders but with one leaning out towards the edge of my shoulder. You could also wear one on the shoulder and one off the shoulder.
The legs are cut quite high showing more flesh and a lot more of the groin area! Showing lots of skin like this makes me feel sexier and I'm quite confident with this part of my body, so I like to show it off.
The Back
The body is cut high at the back showing the full shape of your bum, not just the cheeks! It came up a wee bit too high for me to be comfortable with, but only because I don't like my bum that much. I don't mind the bottom of my bottom(!) and I'm comfortable showing a glimpse of my cheeks. But you will need to be booty confident in this as there's absolutely nothing left to the imagination when it comes to the rear.
The way I plan to wear the Lovehoney Opaque Strappy Body is with denim shorts and perhaps a little shrug when I attend festivals. So that solves the 'bum out' issue!
The Fabric
As mentioned above the fabric is thicker than I was expecting. That doesn't make it uncomfortably hot – quite the opposite, it's incredibly comfortable! I have found this with all Lovehoney's own lingerie and I wasn't disappointed this time. But the quality of the fabric is definitely there and by being quite thick, you're unlikely to put your finger through it. It's smooth too and feels wonderfully soft against my curves.
I would recommend the Lovehoney Opaque Strappy Body to:
- People between a size 6 and 16; there's ample stretch
- People who are confident with their bum
- People who want to wear it as a top with shorts or jeans
- Anyone who loves black net style lingerie
Where to Buy
You can buy the Lovehoney Strappy Opaque Body from the Lovehoney UK site for just £19.99*! If you're in the EU get it from Lovehoney EU for €21.95*. And if you're in the States get it from Lovehoney.com for $24.99*.

Manama : Petrol prices in Bahrain have been increased beginning at 2 pm today. Jayyid (91-octane) is now sold for 140fils/litre after it was sold for 125fils/litre, while the Mumtaz (octane-95) is sold now sold for 200fils/litre after it was sold for 160fils/litre.
A source in Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) told DT News today that "the company instructed its concerned personnel to temporary stop the operations at the fuel pumps in the Kingdom while the systems are updated".
However, no official statement was available from the company. This is the second time gasoline prices are increased in the country within two years. In January 11, 2016, Mumtaz prices increased by 60fils and Jayyid increased by 50fils, as the government decided to remove gasoline subsidies as part of its cost-cutting procedures back then.
