Ox-tales: art on boxes
To raise funds for Oxfam projects in Africa, 14 leading artists created boxes to house specially-commissioned books of short stories
Michael Craig-Martin's Ox-tales box
To raise funds for Oxfam projects in Africa, 14 leading artists created boxes to house specially-commissioned books of short stories
We're a little late on this project but it is so beautifully done and for such a good cause that we thought we would post about it anyway.
For its Ox-tales project, Oxfam asked 38 renowned authors to contribute short stories based on the four elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. These were
printed as paperbacks for sale in bookshops nationwide.
Joe Tilson's box
As a way of raising further valuable funds for two Oxfam projects in Africa, a limited edition of 200 boxed sets were produced, each signed by all the writers (still available to buy here). An even more limited edition of 14 boxes with the same signed books was then commissioned, inviting 14 eminent artists including Antony Gormley, Michael Craig-Martin and Peter Blake, to create their own interpretation of the four elements on and in these boxes.
Peter Blake's box
Keith Tyson's box
Carter Wong designed a catalogue for the auction, each artist being given two spreads for their finished work, with detailed shots from all facets. The catalogue featured bespoke greyboard covers, blind blocked with a number 14 mark.
The auction, which was on 16 March, raised £45,000.

A fan dressed in a gorilla suit or depending on what report you read - a fan dressed as Harambe, rushed the field yesterday in Chicago during a Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears football game.
Forget parking, Uber is now the official rideshare partner for the Detroit Lions 2016 season!
Detroit Lions fans may not always have something to cheer about. That's okay because the team now has cheerleaders to take care of that. The team practiced for the first time at Ford Field. Could these girls be just what Detroit needs to have a successful season? We shall see. It will certainly make the games more fun! Go Lions!
For the first time in over 40 years Lions fans can expect to see cheerleaders rooting the team on. The last time that the Lions had cheerleaders was 1974 when their home field was Tiger Stadium.
Calling all football fans - well football fans from 6 years of age to 14 that is. For the first time ever Fenton will be hosting Detroit Lions Summer Football Camp!
The Detroit Lions 2016 schedule was released this week, and there are noticeably less prime time games than a year ago.
The Detroit Lions announced Tuesday morning that star wide receiver Calvin Johnson is retiring from the NFL.
The Lions reportedly fired two high-ranking personnel people on Thursday.

The military trainer that shot and purportedly killed the terrorist who rammed his truck into a group of people killing four in Jerusalem's Armon Hanatziv neighborhood on Sunday claimed that IDF soldiers on the scene were hesitant to shoot due in part to the conviction of IDF soldier Elor Azaria on manslaughter charges.
The military trainer, identifying himself as Eitan, told Army Radio that "after rolling back on the grass, I saw the truck go in reverse, and then I realized that it wasn't an accident."
Eitan said, "I ran toward him and emptied my whole clip. He drove backward and onto the wounded again. I saw them quiet, some wounded and some scared. It wasn't a good scene."
Eitan said that he then began trying to evacuate the wounded and call for help.
He claimed that the soldiers who were on the scene were hesitant to shoot at the truck that slammed into the group of people. The fact that Elor Azaria was convicted of manslaughter for shooting a wounded terrorist was the reason for this hesitation, according to Eitan.
"There was hesitation to open fire. I have no doubt that this was a significant factor, because all they tell them recently is to be careful. It could be that a few minutes less of hesitation and the situation would have been better," he added.
Commander of the Officer's School Col.Yaniv Aluf carried out a preliminary investigation of the incident, which appeared to contradict Eitan's version of events.
Aluf's investigation suggested that at least two cadets fired at close range toward the terrorist.
IDF Spokesman Moti Almoz backed this assertion, saying that it was incorrect to say that soldiers hesitated to shoot, or that the trial of Elor Azaria had some bearing on the incident.
Almoz said that some 300 people were in the area when the attack happened.
The soldiers did not understand at first that it was an attack, thinking it was a car accident, he said. "The moment that they realized that it was an attack, two cadets fired towards the truck," Almoz added.
It was not clear if their shots killed the attacker or stopped the attack, but it is clear that they used their weapons, he said.
"The army does not know of any soldier who was afraid to shoot because of Azaria," Almoz said, rejecting Eitan's take on the events.

From George Washington to Amelia Leigh Lloyd, 4 September 1782
Head Qrs Verplanks point 4th Septr 1782.
A mind susceptible of disappointments, and pained by suspence, can readily enter into the feelings of others, under similar circumstances—Be assured then[,] that your Letters shall suffer no delay—no disappointment in my hands. Nor will I keep you one moment in suspence, with respect to the receipt, or delivery of them.
Actuated by these motives, I have the honor to inform you, that the last Post brought me your favor of the 20th ulto, & that the packet for Mr White has passed my lines, for New York.
I pray you to be assured, that nothing which can contribute to the happiness of Mrs Lloyd, will be deemed a trouble, by her most hble & obedient servant
G. Washington
P.S. Be so good as to present me to Mr Lloyd & let him know that his Letters to Major Murray, and Mr Watson went in, some days ago.

Taken From the History of LaSalle County, Illinois Volume II
Chicago: Inter-State Publishing Co. 1886

Jan writes " Nancy, Here is some stuff you may be able to use. It all pertains to Northville in one way or another. I have included all the info I have on each excerpt, include the date published. FYI - All Culmers, Hamans (actually Haymond) and Carrs listed in the various pieces are in my family."

Northville embraces all of the congressional township 46 north, and range 5 east, except that portion which lies south of the Fox River. It is situated in the northeast corner of LaSalle County. De Kalb County bounds it on the north and Kendall County on the east. Fox River forms the southern boundary and Serena and Adams townships the western. Somonauk Creek flows from the north to the south across the township, and is the only stream of any size in it. This creek is bridged in five places. Four of the bridges are iron and one wooden; all rest on stone abutments. This stream is skirted by timber and it is for this reason that early settlements were first made near it.
In an early day Northville was frequented by many Indians, who also inhabited Mission, which was their proper headquarters. The customs and peculiarities of these strange people are always interesting. Below is a sketch of a sepulcher of an Indian murderer. In 1834 Samuel D. Barber, while looking for land, found on the north side of Fox River, in what is now Northville Township, an Indian grave. It was covered with clapboards one end of which was resting on the ground and the other ends meeting forming a sort of roof. Over this was erected a scaffold about as high as a man's head. Upon the top of this scaffold was a wooden trough covered with bark. Near this structure, firmly planted in the ground, was a pole some twenty feet in height, on the top of which was a white flag. Mr. Barber approached this curios structure and lifting the bark from the trough found that it contained the decaying skull of an Indian. The body to which the head belongs was placed in the rude grave beneath. He afterward learned that this was the sepulcher of an Indian murderer and that the white flag was a sign denoting that beneath it lay the body of a murderer whose head had been severed from his body as a punishment for the wicked deed.

Northville Township lies between the main line and the Fox River branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, the main line just touching the northwest corner. For this reason Northville has no trading or shipping points of its own and it neighbors get the benefit of its wealth. Sandwich is its principal market. The township is now thickly settled and has nine good school-houses and two churches, viz.: Evangelical and the Methodist. The former was built before the war by the Lutherans, but afterward it passed into the possession of the Evangelical Association and is now controlled by it. It is a brick structure situated in the southern part of section 32. On section 30 in 1873 the Methodists erected a large, handsome church and still occupy it. At present the society numbers about twenty, under the pastorate of Rev. Dix. The Sunday-school is large for a rural district and is under the superintendency of B. Brayton. Just south of the church is a store and blacksmith shop, also the Northville postoffice, which was established in an early day. The town hall which is located near the center of section 22, was built some ten years ago.
About 1845 Fred and Henry Elerding erected a mill on section 32, and one still stands near the old site, owned by a nephew, Ferdinand Elerding, and the heirs of Fred Elerding. It was first only a saw-mill, the flouring mill having been added subsequently. The saw mill was swept away in the high water of February, 1857, and the flouring mill badly injured. A new flouring mill was completed the same year. It is two and a half stories high, 32 x 40 feet in size. There are three run of burrs. In the summer of 1885 Ferdinand Elerding had a miraculous escape from a stroke of lightning. He was in the basement of his mill when the lightning struck it. The discharge came down through the mill without any great damage and all or a portion of it struck Mr. Elerding, entering his clothing on the left hip and proceeding down his legs to his feet where it burst through his shoes, tearing the soles from the upper parts. His lower limbs were for the time completely paralyzed but he was not unconscious. He dragged himself to the bottom of the stairway and called for help, which soon came. He was taken to his home and is slowly recovering; as yet he can wear nothing upon his fee and on his hip is a running sore.
The mill on section 32 was built some years after Elerding's mill, by Joseph Brignan and is still used. Both mills are propelled by water power.
In an early day, on section 13, there was an embryo village called Asberry, It had a store, blacksmith shop and postoffice; the latter was kept by W. L. F. Jones, the blacksmith, until the Fox River branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad was built when it was removed. Nothing now remains of the village.
Northville Township
Northville embraces the most of Township 36, R. 5. The F"ox river forms its southern boundary, and running southwestwardly cuts off from that township about as much territory as it takes from the town south of it.
The town lies between the main line and branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and has several railroad stations and market towns near its borders, but none within its limits, consequently its market places, social institutions and churches are mostly in the adjoining towns, giving them the benefit of the wealth and population created in part by the business from Northville. The town occupies the northeast corner of the-county.
It is watered, in addition to the Fox river, by Somonauk creek, which runs southerly a little west of the centre through the entire length of the town: the timber along its banks relieved the monotony of the otherwise unbroken prairie and prompted the settlement which commenced in 1834, most of the early settlers coming in the next three or four years.
Letsome, Dubois, and Armstrong, were frontier men who came in at an early day and settled near the Fox, where they made claims and sold to Messrs. Carr, Heath and Lewis.

Bristol prepares for two-day celebration of Independence Day

In advance of the celebration, the Fourth of July Ball will be held this Saturday, July 29, and will feature cocktails, dinner and dancing. The event is a fundraiser for the Fourth of July celebrations.
As we move into July, the Herreshoff Marine Museum will feature musical entertainment provided by The Rovers on July 3. There will also be cocktails, a barbecue, Blunt chowder, s'mores on the beach, and a fireworks display.
On July 4, Bristol will be holding its 228th Fourth of July parade, which makes it the oldest in the country. The parade will begin at Hope and Chestnut Streets. Before the event, the Herreshoff Marine Museum will be holding a light breakfast with entertainment provided by the Ancient Mariners Dixieland Band.

It is likely that visitors from all over the area will want to attend at least one of these events, including those from nearby Johnston. Local printing companies will no doubt be providing products like flyers for advertising.

"Reality Rant" 09/12/07 {Big Brother 8-Daniele Did It!}
Wednesday September 12, 2007
By Linda Venezie
talent network, inc.
SHE DID IT! Daniele pulled off the last Veto competition – the most important Veto competition of the whole game, mind you. And it wasn't even close! Well, her dad Dick actually did come close at first (he had all but the first number wrong when he hit his buzzer) but then he started switching them all around and was completely lost. Zach and Jameka were sadly horrible – I don't think Zach had a single number right. And it serves him well. I said early in the game "if Zach is in the final 2 it will be very upsetting" because he didn't do a damn thing the whole game but get on people's nerves. Also, he showed some questionable behavior that CBS quietly swept under the rug. You'll have to use your imagination to try and figure out what it was. (Hint – it involved one of the final 4 players in the game.) Zach seemed to feel he played a flawless game and said that he threw all of the early competitions on purpose. Listen Zach, only one player – my boy Will Kirby – truly threw every competition he was ever in. And he is the only player that it ever worked for. If Zach thinks his game play was on par with Will he's sorely mistaken.
Anyway – Daniele DID it... and at the end of the special live episode last night we had our Final Three – Daniele, Dick and Zach – standing on stumps, holding onto their house key, and jumping over a bar as it spun around. Then they started pouring rain on them and I'm sure it got a lot harder, not to mention colder. Especially for the whippet thin Daniele. I could have watched the Showtime feed last night to see who won, but I've been doing that all season and I have to say it's rather anti-climactic to know who wins competitions and who gets nominated before it's shown on CBS. I started a boycott of the Showtime feed early last week, mostly because it is like watching paint dry now that there are so few people left.
And they finally showed the Sequester House – I was beginning to think it didn't exist, because by this time last year they'd shown quite a bit of footage from the antics going on there. Once again, the truth is that nothing is going on there. Let's face it, folks – if Dick and Daniele weren't on the show this year, it would have been another boring summer, just like Season 6 when the "Nerd Herd" took over the house near the end. Ugh. Thank god for Dick, even though I don't agree with his tactics and especially the way he disrespects women – he sure made for some captivating television. And the reason I'm really routing for Daniele is because she PLAYED THE GAME. None of the hiding behind other players and letting them do the dirty work. Just like my personal favorite Janelle – who also won had 5 Veto wins… Daniele tied her record with her win last night. Let's hope this time Daniele actually wins the game!
So there's only 3 more BB episodes to go. I'm looking forward to the "Best Of" episode they're showing on Sunday night…when we can feast our eyes on the man candy Nick once again.
And my fellow Reality fans, our next obsession will be Survivor China. I saw a special about it on TV Guide Channel (check local listings, I'm sure they will replay it) and there are some interesting characters this time around. They've gotten rid of Exile Island (thank god) and are taking it back to Survivor of old. I predict it will be a lot of fun!

Archangels are extinct and the world is now inhabited by a half-human/half-angel race called Nephilim. But it's been told that one Archangel remains: a child born of fire only known as The Legend.
Twenty-one-year-old Nephilim Scarlett Porter is about to start her Angel training at the infamous Blackbell Academy, so she doesn't have time to worry about dreams of mysterious dark angels. The last thing she expected was her dream angel to be Dyston Blackbell or that finding her was part of his mission - a mission Dyston is prepared to fail to keep Scarlett and the secret of who she is safe.
But, danger is closer to Dyston and Scarlett than they realize.
War is brewing, led by a group of Nephilim called The Lucifites, and they need The Legend to carry out their plans. With the help of their friends, the two must find the leader of the Lucifites and stop his plans for destruction. But will Dyston and Scarlett's love survive what's coming? How far will Scarlett go to save those she cares about the most?

Book 1
Fallen angels have mated with humans and created a race called Nephilim. Because of this, the world is changing. Both the human race and the angelic race are dwindling and archangels exist only in stories. However, legend says that a half archangel born from fire will save the world.

The storyline was amazing! The narrator wasn't.
I wish this question wasn't asked! How can I tell anyone that without spoiling the whole book?
I got whiplash listening to it! There was no pause between scene changes! It was like I was rushed through the story, or rather dragged through it. The narrator has a pleasant voice but doesn't give the reader a chance to take a moment to process what has just happened.
The romance was irresistible, BUT the audiobook would have been better if the narrator had taken a pause between the scenes.

- FAQ's
Turmeric Root Extract:
1) What are the health benefits of Turmeric?
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a powerful medicine that has long been used in the Chinese and Indian systems of medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent to treat a wide variety of conditions, including flatulence, jaundice, menstrual difficulties, bloody urine, hemorrhage, toothache, bruises, chest pain, and colic.
2) What is the effect of Curcumin present in Turmeric?
Curcumin is thought to be the primary pharmacological agent in turmeric. In numerous studies, curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects have been shown to be comparable to the potent drugs hydrocortisone and phenylbutazone as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory agents such as Motrin. Unlike the drugs, which are associated with significant toxic effects (ulcer formation, decreased white blood cell count, intestinal bleeding), curcumin produces no toxicity.
3) What is the effect of turmeric extract on conditions of high cholesterol?
Research suggests that taking turmeric extract by mouth twice daily for 3 months reduces total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol, and triglycerides in overweight people with high cholesterol.
4) What are the side-effects of using Turmeric extract supplements?
Turmeric is usually safe when taken by mouth. Turmeric usually does not cause significant side effects; however, some people can experience stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, or diarrhea.
5) What is the recommended daily dosage of Turmeric Root Ext for adults?
Individuals use 2-6 capsules for targeted benefit, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
6) What are Vegetarian capsules made of ?
HPMC -- Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose -- is derived from vegetable cellulose. 100% natural, these capsules contain no preservatives, gelatin, wheat, animal by-products or starch, and they are made from pure cellulose of either pine or poplar. Capsules are fast dissolving in the stomach and easily digestible.
7) How big is the capsule ? Is it hard to swallow ?
The capsule size is medium to small. It's very easy to swallow.
8) Is the product manufactured at a GMP certified plant?
Yes. All the products are manufactured at GMP certified plant (Good Manufacturing Practice) only

11) Is Dicalcium Phosphate safe ?

Dr. Pierone is absolutely an amazing man and doctor.I have had some bad experiences in the past and and took a long time for me to decide what to do until I kept seeing a friend posting beautiful pics of her and other men and women having procedures "not" surgery looking great and no down [...]
First and foremost I'm so glad I met Amie. She is very professional but still acts like she's known you as a friend and explains all procedures to a tee.

Dr. Pierone is the best. My experience could not have gone smoother. I flew into Orlando in the early afternoon, had the procedure and flew home that same night. Dr. Pierone makes you feel very comfortable and is so gentle. I love the results. Highly recommended!
Part 1 March 1, 2015 I hope to regain a more normal fullness in my temples, cheeks and under my eyes. Hopefully this will also give my face a mild/moderate lift as well as added volume. In addition I am hoping Dr Pierone can add structure and definition to my chin a little as it [...]

graphic designing
Graphic design isn't about layouts, compositions, algorithms or calculations but rather about making an absolutely rational message seem interesting to the end-user by using the skills to combine simple elements like texts and images.
It's about creating that stern balance where visual communication paves the path with a coherent message being displayed using nothing but the beauty of words played according to pictures. The graphical design in the form of a strategic pattern should not only effectively generate a notion of interest but should also reach the heart, spark an interest in the brain and keep the viewers glued to the page quenching their thirst for information simultaneously. Be it your offline printing or your website's graphical requirement - an apt graphic designer should hold the power to engage in lucid communication using nothing but graphically arranged messages. That is what graphic designing means to us. Want to know about our full range of services?

There's a short movie and an interactive section.
Neat - thanks for sharing.
Hi Joe,
Thanks for letting us know. interesting film.
Joe, Thanks for sharing this. Interesting and informative.
Is the "tt" in her name really pronounced "ch" or is the expert putting on airs? Obviously, I don't know Italian.
very nice film. Thanks for the link!
Juan, unless Modotti came from an odd part of Italy, "tt" is pronounced "tt" in Italian.
On the other hand, Barcelona is pronounced "Barthelona" in Barcelona. It seemed a Spanish king had a definite lisp, and being the Spanish King ....
Very cool.
Actually, Barthelona is how you would pronounce it in the rest of Spain. Barcelona is part of Catalonia, which has its own language, Catalan. The lisping thing is Castillian, but gets practiced throughout most of the rest of the country. They may say it that way in Barcelona as well, when speaking Spanish, but not Catalan. In Catalan, it is Barselona (pronunciation, not spelling). Spain has a bunch of regional accents, and three separate languages - Castillian (aka Spanish), Euskara (Basque), and Catalan. Euskara is NOT an indo-european language, and has little in common with any other regional language.

Catalyst Conestoga Co-op
Congratulations to Professors Sarah Turner & Ann Callaghan and Students of Conestoga College's Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours)
You are all winners
The energy and enthusiasm at The Pines on the evening of May 11th was absolutely infectious. Design teams from Conestoga College presented their vision for a public gathering space at Catalyst137, the subject building of the 2017 CSC Student Design Competition to an audience of AEC professionals at Connections Cafe, an annual networking event sponsored by the Grand Valley Chapter of Construction Specifications Canada.
The 475,000 sq ft building located at 137 Glasgow Street in Kitchener, historically used for warehousing tires and footwear will soon house the world's largest maker space campus, a hub for the talent, hardware, engineering services and venture capital support needed to build the next generation of IoT companies.
The theme of the Design Competition, "public collaboration and connection" inspired student designers to create a space that would invite social interaction between building occupants and neighbours of Belmont Village. Interaction with the natural environment added a strong complement to the theme, through various strategies including the use of the Iron Horse Trail for commuting to the site.
Team Two Takes top prize of $2,000!
Congratulations Team Two: Thiska Meereboer, Erin Wetzel, Henry Dowling and Mike Latter for winning first place and for making such a great impression on the crowd at Connections Cafe that they voted your work for
The People's Choice Award
Nicely done!
Second Place winning $1000…
Congratulations Team Three: Brooklyn Taylor, Emily Turchi, Maria Van Woundenberg & Han Xie
Third Place winning $500…
Congratulations Team One : Brianna Dancy, Jandi Gunn, Laura Kular & Tessa MacDonald
Fourth Place awesomeness…..
Congratulations Team Four: Stephanie Moraweitz, Mia Bartels, Gemma Gorkes & Kelsey Elford
The scope of the design competition did not impose budget constraints on the proposals, but the inclusion of specific construction materials and a detailed product specification was required to qualify (view competition documents here) More about the 2017 CSC Student Design Competition here and Connections Cafe here
Construction Canada Announcement here
Catalyst Conestoga Co-op?
The Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours) program has been designed in consultation with the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO) and is on ARIDO's list of recognized interior design programs. It provides a unique co-op experience, with a focus on technical competency that stresses the importance of building code compliance, accessibility, sustainability, energy efficiency, building maintenance and operations to inform design intent and provide both aesthetically pleasing and build-able solutions.
Invited guests from the local construction and design community joined event sponsors in rallying around the competing teams while students seized the opportunity to network with industry professionals, welcoming the spontaneous "peer review" of their projects while vying for the "People's Choice Award" decided by popular vote during the evening.
Thank-you Community Partners, Catalyst137 and iGuide and members of the Design Competition Team at CSC Grand Valley and CSC Toronto for making it happen…
See you next year!

Cryptographic statements such as, for example, but not limited to, X.509 certificates and XrML licenses, enable secure and verifiable communication. To validate the status of or the trustworthy nature of a cryptographic statement, it is often necessary to acquire additional information, which may be referred to as cryptographic evidence. This cryptographic evidence may include references to additional cryptographic statements. The cryptographic statement that is being validated may include a number of locators such as, for example, uniform resource locators (URL's), that point to the locations of the necessary cryptographic evidence. To retrieve this cryptographic evidence, a number of different cryptographic evidence retrieval schemes have been developed. These schemes may include protocols and methods such as, for example, but not limited to, a certificate revocation list (CRL), online certificate status protocol (OCSP), simple certificate validation protocol (SCVP), and delegated path validation (DPV).
CRL is an earlier developed cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme that bundles evidence for a collection of cryptographic statements onto a single list. The list may be downloaded and cached so that it is accessible to a client. When one of the cryptographic statements within the collection is being validated by the client, the necessary evidence within the list is identified and re-validated. If the cached evidence is no longer valid, then an on-demand wire retrieval process may be used to obtain the updated valid evidence. CRL is advantageous because, assuming that the evidence on the list is still valid, it alleviates the need to retrieve evidence every time a cryptographic statement is validated. On the other hand, however, CRL is limited in that it requires an entire list of evidence to be downloaded even if only a small number of cryptographic statements need to validated. This limitation may be analogous to downloading an entire telephone book when there is only interest in small number of telephone listings.
To overcome this problem, later developed cryptographic evidence retrieval schemes focused on reducing the quantity of evidence that needed to be downloaded. In particular, OCSP is a cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme that enables a CRL list to be partitioned down to indicate a validation status for a single cryptographic statement. OCSP may be analogous to dialing directory assistance, rather than downloading an entire telephone book, to obtain information for a single telephone listing. While OCSP obviously provides advantages in scenarios where a smaller number of cryptographic statements are being validated, the effectiveness of OCSP is limited, often when a larger number of cryptographic statements are being validated. In particular, OCSP requires a query to be submitted every time that a known set of cryptographic statements needs to be validated, and a typical OCSP response is one to two kilobytes in length. Accordingly, when a large number of independent or duplicate cryptographic statements from the same issuer are being validated, it is often more economical to use CRL rather than OCSP. For example, if each OCSP response is assumed to be two kilobytes, a client may request, retrieve and cache 100 megabytes or more of OCSP responses after validating 50,000 cryptographic statements. By contrast, if each CRL entry is assumed to be 80 bytes, a CRL list with 50,000 entries will only be 4 megabytes in size. Moreover, in addition to requiring caching of a larger amount of data in the aggregate, the employment of OCSP may also require the management of a larger number of objects. Furthermore, implementation of OCSP may also result in additional protocol overhead in comparison with implementation of CRL.
In addition to the problems set forth above, OCSP is also limited in that it may result in user experience problems arising from problematic network conditions. For example, the retrieval can be time consuming due to, for example, the size of cryptographic statements being retrieved, connection bandwidth, network load, server load and bandwidth, and network latency. The retrieval may also fail due to, for example, server unavailability, the physical location of the user, network equipment failure, and other like problems. These limitations are amplified by the fact that a cryptographic statement often has a limited life span, and, once this life span has expired, the cryptographic statement typically cannot be relied upon. Conventional applications typically handle this problem in one of three ways: prompting the user with an often incomprehensible message; failing the operation; or simply assuming that the statement is trustworthy and ignoring the retrieval failure.
The present invention is directed to efficient retrieval of cryptographic evidence. An efficient cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme may be selected in accordance with a local policy and at least one relevant factor. The relevant factor may be, for example, but not limited to, a user preference for a particular cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme.
In an embodiment of the invention, a determination may be made as to whether CRL or OCSP is a more efficient protocol for retrieving cryptographic evidence. To make this determination, one factor that may be considered is whether a stapled OCSP response has been provided along with the cryptographic statement. Another factor may be the quantity of CRL and/or OCSP responses that have been provided along with the cryptographic statement. In particular, if only one type of responses is provided, then this may be an important factor. Additionally, a quantity of cached OCSP responses from the same issuer may be calculated and compared with a predetermined threshold number that, when exceeded, would make OCSP a less desirable alternative. Another factor that may be considered is a default and/or a user preference for either OCSP or CRL.
Furthermore, updated cryptographic evidence may be prefetched during a time period in which there is a low volume of requests for cryptographic evidence. This low volume period may be defined, approximately, as an overlapping window in which both a first cryptographic evidence publication and a second cryptographic evidence publication are valid. To avoid overloading evidence providers with prefetch requests during this low volume period, each requestor may select a random number and the use the random number to calculate a particular time within the low volume period at which to submit its prefetch request.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
The illustrative embodiments will be better understood after reading the following detailed description with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
The subject matter of the present invention is described with specificity to meet statutory requirements. However, the description itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. Rather, the inventors have contemplated that the claimed subject matter might also be embodied in other ways, to include different acts or elements similar to the ones described in this document, in conjunction with other present or future technologies.
An exemplary cryptographic statement validation environment in accordance with the present invention is depicted in
To validate a cryptographic statement, client 102 may need to retrieve cryptographic evidence, which may include one or more additional cryptographic statements. Caching proxy 103 may be used by client 102 and other connected clients (not shown) to place requests for cryptographic evidence and to cache the cryptographic evidence that is returned. To retrieve cryptographic evidence, client 102 may employ a selected cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme, which, as also set forth above, may be, for example, but not limited to, a certificate revocation list (CRL), online certificate status protocol (OCSP), simple certificate validation protocol (SCVP), and delegated path validation (DPV). In particular, CRL is often, although not always, an advantageous protocol when a large number of cryptographic statements from the same issuer 102 need to be validated. OCSP, on the other hand, is often, although not always, an advantageous protocol when smaller numbers of cryptographic statements are being issued from different issuers 102.
In certain circumstances, cryptographic evidence, such as, for example, an OCSP response, may be stapled along with the cryptographic statement that is provided to client 102. A cryptographic statement may also include a number of extensions that provide locators for the cryptographic evidence necessary to validate the statement. These locators may be, for example, uniform resource locators (URL's). In particular, a CRL distribution point (CDP) extension may provide one or more locators for retrieving a CRL. An authority information access (AIA) extension may provide one or more locators for retrieving OCSP responses. A single cryptographic statement may include both CDP and AIA extensions. The locators within these extensions may be cached upon receiving the cryptographic statement.
Flowcharts of two exemplary methods for selecting a preferred cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme in accordance with the present invention are depicted in
Referring now to
If not, then, at act 202, it is determined whether the cryptographic statement has OCSP locators but does not have CRL locators. This may occur, if, for example, the cryptographic statement has an AIA extension but does not have a CDP extension. If so, then, at act 210, OCSP is determined to be the selected cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme.
If not, then, at act 204, it is determined whether the cryptographic statement has CRL locators but does not have OCSP locators. This may occur, if, for example, the cryptographic statement has a CDP extension but does not have an AIA extension. If so, then, at act 212, CRL is determined to be the selected cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme.
If the cryptographic statement has both OCSP and CRL locators, then, at act 206, a quantity of cached OCSP responses for the cryptographic statement from the same issuer is calculated. To determine the issuer of an OCSP response, a prefix convention may be employed in which, whenever an OCSP response is cached, each response from the same issuer is assigned the same prefix. This may be accomplished by, for example, hashing a CDP extension and assigning it as a prefix to each OCSP response entry in the cache. Then, at act 206, the quantity of OCSP responses from the same issuer may be determined by counting the number of entries in the cache that have the same prefix.
At act 208, the quantity calculated at act 206 may be compared with a predetermined threshold number. The threshold number may be a user selected number or may also be a default number. The threshold number may be determined by taking into account requests from both high volume devices and low volume devices. High volume devices may be, for example, authentication servers such as domain controllers. Low volume devices may be, for example, personal computers operated by home users. If the quantity calculated at act 206 exceeds the threshold number, then, at act 212, CRL is determined to be the selected cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme. If, on the other hand, the quantity calculated at act 206 does not exceed the threshold number, then, at act 210, OCSP is determined to be the selected cryptographic evidence retrieval scheme. The determination of whether to use CRL or OCSP may also be based, at least in part, on a user preference and/or a default preference for one protocol or the other. These user and/or default preferences may also play a role in the determination of the threshold number.
At act 214, it is determined whether there is a valid cryptographic evidence object stored at the caching proxy 103. Issuer 104 may assist in this determination by assigning special headers to cryptographic evidence that is submitted to caching proxy 103. In particular, one such special header, which may be referred to as a "cache-control" header, may specify a maximum time period ("max-age") for which caching proxy 103 may cache the cryptographic evidence without the need to re-validate the evidence with issuer 104. For example, client 102 may submit a CRL request to caching proxy 103, which, in turn, forwards the request to issuer 104. Issuer 104 may then provide the CRL to caching proxy 103 at 9:00 a.m. on June 1. Issuer 104 may specify a max-age of 86,400 seconds (24 hours) in a cache-control header along with the CRL. The CRL may then be forwarded to client 102. At 8:00 a.m. on June 2, a second connected client may request the same CRL from caching proxy 103. Because this second request is received at caching proxy 103 less than 24 hours after receiving the CRL from issuer 104, caching proxy 103 may provide the CRL to the second connected client without first re-validating the CRL with issuer 104. Later, at 10:00 a.m. on June 2, a third connected client may request the same CRL from caching proxy 103. This time, because the third request is received at caching proxy 103 more than 24 hours after receiving the CRL from issuer 104, caching proxy 103 must re-validate the CRL prior to providing it to the third connected client.
Another special header that may be assigned by issuer 104 may enable, upon re-validation of evidence, a determination to be made as to whether the evidence has been updated since the last time it was downloaded or validated from issuer 104. For example, if this header is assigned to the CRL in the above example, then, when caching proxy 103 re-validates the CRL for the third connected client, caching proxy 103 need only re-download the CRL from issuer 104 if the header indicates that it has been updated subsequent to 9:00 a.m. on June 1. This header may be referred to as an "Etag."
If, at act 214, it is determined that there is a valid cached object, then, at act 218, the object is retrieved from the caching proxy server 103 or through whatever protocol or mechanism that is appropriate and used to validate the cryptographic statement. On the other hand, if, at act 214, it is determined that there is not a valid cached object, then the object is first downloaded at act 216 and then used to perform validation at act 218.
As set forth above, when cryptographic evidence is downloaded from an issuer 104, special headers may be assigned to the cryptographic evidence to set the lifespan within which the evidence may be cached without the need to re-validate the evidence. In many circumstances, once this lifespan expires, it may be desirable to prefetch updates to the cached evidence, meaning that the cached evidence will be updated even before it is actually requested by a client 102. Prefetching may improve the response time for providing evidence once it is actually requested by a client 102. Also, the value of prefetching may be maximized when it is performed during a time period in which there is a low volume of requests for cryptographic evidence. This reduces latency during the low volume time period and also increases bandwidth during higher volume periods. This low volume period may be defined, approximately, as an overlapping window in which both a first cryptographic evidence publication and a second cryptographic evidence publication are active.
An exemplary low volume time period in accordance with the present invention is depicted in
At act 400, an evidence cache may be scanned to identify a publication with an NPT that is earlier than the current time (CT), which, in the example of
At act 406, a first part of the prefetch time (PT) may be calculated. The first part may be calculated as the modulus of the proxy identifier and half of the adjusted time period. At act 408, a large random number may be selected. At act 410, a second part of the prefetch time is calculated. The second part may be calculated as the modulus of the random number and half of the adjusted time period. At act 412, the prefetch time is calculated. The prefetch time may be calculated as the sum of the NPT, the delta period, the first part, and the second part. At act 414, it is determined whether the calculated prefetch time has already occurred. If so, then the prefetch may be skipped until and then recalculated at a later time such as, for example, after the first publication expires. If the prefetch time has not yet occurred, then the prefetch may be requested at the prefetch time. If the prefetch does not run at the calculated prefetch time, then a new adjusted time period may be computed by incrementing the NUT by the lesser of the delta period and the difference between the original TUT and NUT. The exemplary method of
Accordingly, as set forth above with reference to
The present invention may also be embodied in the form of program code that is transmitted over some transmission medium, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics, over a network, including a local area network, a wide area network, the Internet or an intranet, or via any other form of transmission, wherein, when the program code is received and loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention.
When implemented on a general-purpose processor, the program code may combine with the processor to provide a unique apparatus that operates analogously to specific logic circuits.
Moreover, the invention can be implemented in connection with any computer or other client or server device, which can be deployed as part of a computer network, or in a distributed computing environment. In this regard, the present invention pertains to any computer system or environment having any number of memory or storage units, and any number of applications and processes occurring across any number of storage units or volumes, which may be used in connection with processes for persisting objects in a database store in accordance with the present invention. The present invention may apply to an environment with server computers and client computers deployed in a network environment or distributed computing environment, having remote or local storage. The present invention may also be applied to standalone computing devices, having programming language functionality, interpretation and execution capabilities for generating, receiving and transmitting information in connection with remote or local services.
Distributed computing facilitates sharing of computer resources and services by exchange between computing devices and systems. These resources and services include, but are not limited to, the exchange of information, cache storage, and disk storage for files. Distributed computing takes advantage of network connectivity, allowing clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire enterprise. In this regard, a variety of devices may have applications, objects or resources that may implicate processing performed in connection with the object persistence methods of the present invention.
It can also be appreciated that an object, such as 110 c, may be hosted on another computing device 10 a, 10 b, etc. or 110 a, 110 b, etc. Thus, although the physical environment depicted may show the connected devices as computers, such illustration is merely exemplary and the physical environment may alternatively be depicted or described comprising various digital devices such as PDAs, televisions, MP3 players, etc., software objects such as interfaces, COM objects and the like.
There are a variety of systems, components, and network configurations that support distributed computing environments. For example, computing systems may be connected together by wired or wireless systems, by local networks or widely distributed networks. Currently, many of the networks are coupled to the Internet, which provides the infrastructure for widely distributed computing and encompasses many different networks. Any of the infrastructures may be used for exemplary communications made incident to the present invention.
The Internet commonly refers to the collection of networks and gateways that utilize the TCP/IP suite of protocols, which are well-known in the art of computer networking. TCP/IP is an acronym for "Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol." The Internet can be described as a system of geographically distributed remote computer networks interconnected by computers executing networking protocols that allow users to interact and share information over the network(s). Because of such wide-spread information sharing, remote networks such as the Internet have thus far generally evolved into an open system for which developers can design software applications for performing specialized operations or services, essentially without restriction.
Thus, the network infrastructure enables a host of network topologies such as client/server, peer-to-peer, or hybrid architectures. The "client" is a member of a class or group that uses the services of another class or group to which it is not related. Thus, in computing, a client is a process, i.e., roughly a set of instructions or tasks, that requests a service provided by another program. The client process utilizes the requested service without having to "know" any working details about the other program or the service itself. In a client/server architecture, particularly a networked system, a client is usually a computer that accesses shared network resources provided by another computer, e.g., a server. In the example of
A server is typically a remote computer system accessible over a remote or local network, such as the Internet. The client process may be active in a first computer system, and the server process may be active in a second computer system, communicating with one another over a communications medium, thus providing distributed functionality and allowing multiple clients to take advantage of the information-gathering capabilities of the server. Any software objects utilized pursuant to the persistence mechanism of the invention may be distributed across multiple computing devices.
Client(s) and server(s) may communicate with one another utilizing the functionality provided by a protocol layer. For example, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a common protocol that is used in conjunction with the World Wide Web (WWW), or "the Web." Typically, a computer network address such as an Internet Protocol (IP) address or other reference such as a Universal Resource Locator (URL) can be used to identify the server or client computers to each other. The network address can be referred to as a URL address. Communication can be provided over any available communications medium.
In a network environment in which the communications network/bus 14 is the Internet, for example, the servers 10 a, 10 b, etc. can be servers with which the clients 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc. communicate via any of a number of known protocols such as HTTP. Servers 10 a, 10 b, etc. may also serve as clients 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc., as may be characteristic of a distributed computing environment.
Communications may be wired or wireless, where appropriate. Client devices 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc. may or may not communicate via communications network/bus 14, and may have independent communications associated therewith. For example, in the case of a TV or VCR, there may or may not be a networked aspect to the control thereof. Each client computer 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d, 110 e, etc. and server computer 10 a, 10 b, etc. may be equipped with various application program modules or objects 135 and with connections or access to various types of storage elements or objects, across which files or data streams may be stored or to which portion(s) of files or data streams may be downloaded, transmitted or migrated. Any computer 10 a, 10 b, 110 a, 110 b, etc. may be responsible for the maintenance and updating of a database, memory, or other storage element 20 for storing data processed according to the invention. Thus, the present invention can be utilized in a computer network environment having client computers 110 a, 110 b, etc. that can access and interact with a computer network/bus 14 and server computers 10 a, 10 b, etc. that may interact with client computers 10 a, 10 b, etc. and other like devices, and databases 20.
Although not required, the invention can be implemented via an operating system, for use by a developer of services for a device or object, and/or included within application or server software that operates in accordance with the invention. Software may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by one or more computers, such as client workstations, servers or other devices. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures and the like that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Typically, the functionality of the program modules may be combined or distributed as desired in various embodiments. Moreover, the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations and protocols. Other well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers (PCs), automated teller machines, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based systems, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, appliances, lights, environmental control elements, minicomputers, mainframe computers and the like.
With reference to
Computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer readable media. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media include both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data.

Communication media typically embody computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and include any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media include wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media.
The system memory 130 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 131 and random access memory (RAM) 132. A basic input/output system 133 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 110, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 131. RAM 132 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 120. By way of example, and not limitation,

The modem 172, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 121 via the user input interface 160, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 110, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation,
Thus, the efficient retrieval of cryptographic evidence has been disclosed. While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather should be construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the appended claims.
