Internet Security & Ransomware
Ransomware is of increasing concern to medium and large publishers.
Ransomware is a type of malware that restricts access to the infected computer system in some way; usually by encrypting your files, and demands that the user pay a ransom to remove the restriction. If you don't have a backup you have to pay the hackers to gain access to your data.
Sony Pictures is one media company that was affected by a ransomware attack.
Often a system is infected by a phishing attack where a user inadvertently downloads malware or inadvertently provides a hacker with their user ID and password.
Information on Ransomware
A good source for information on ransomware is the Malwarebytes Labs blog. As of April 2017, a recent article presented a detailed analysis of the Sage ransomware.
Advice For Large Publishers
At Kensai we recommend that large publishers consult with internet security specialists from E&Y or PWC. Very large publishers should consider Accenture.
- Ernst & Young Cyber Security: http://www.ey.com/gl/en/services/advisory/ey-cybersecurity
- Price Waterhouse & Coopers: http://www.pwc.com/us/en/forensic-services/video/cyber-security.html
General Advice
Protecting a book publishing software system against such intrusions requires multiple levels of protection.
Staff Training
Staff should receive instruction in best practices for internet security. Over 95% of security breaches are caused by an employee inadvertently providing their user name and password to a hacker.
Backup your data
Restoring a backup file can often negate the extent of a ransomware attack.
Internet Security Software
It starts with ensuring that every workstation that accesses your system has internet security software running. Internet security products can deny access to clients (local or remote) not running internet security software. For small and medium sized publishers with security concerns we recommend using Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud. Enhance this by also using Malware Bytes Endpoint Security. Malware Bytes; like Sophos Intercept X, is designed to detect and stop ransomware attacks.
Medium and larger sized publishers should consider products such as Sophos Intercept X. Intercept X includes technology that detects spontaneous malicious data encryption to stop ransomware in its tracks. Even if trusted files or processes are abused or hijacked, this technology will stop and revert them without any interaction from users or IT support personnel. It works silently at the file system level, keeping track of remote computers and local processes that attempt to modify your documents and other files.
Hardware Firewalls
We recommend cloud managed hardware firewalls. Hardware firewalls are harder for hackers to breach. A cloud managed firewall includes hardware that needs to be connected to the network. The firewall is managed through the cloud by a service provider. Managed firewall services provide 24×7 firewall administration, monitoring, and quick responses to any malicious attacks.
Secure Passwords
Your company should enforce secure password specifications. This includes minimum character length, the exclusion of dictionary words, and a requirement that passwords be changed periodically.
Two Factor Authentication
We recommend two factor authentications for all email access logins and system logins. In addition to a user name, and password a third identifier such as a passcode sent to the user's phone or a smart card is required for system access. Two factor authentications for system administrator logins should be required because these users have access to all systems.
Segment Your IT Systems
We recommend that large publishers segment their IT systems so that hacking one system does provide access to all segments of their IT infrastructure. Ransomware attacks are often successful because obtaining a single IT administrators password provides access to the entire system. Best practices call for software (i.e. folder access rights) and hardware (server access) based system segmentation.
An example of system segmentation is storing royalty contract documents on a separate physical server. The hard drive is encrypted. Access is limited to those with a need to know. Out of 400+ users, only 30 users; including the system administrator have access to this server and the royalty contract files stored there. The system administration has a separate username, password and utilizes 2nd factor authentication for accessing this server. Country-blocking is activated so the server cannot be directly accessed by users outside the home country. The server is backed up daily using two online backup services and monitored by Sophos Intercept X.
Encrypted Drives
Employee laptops should have encrypted drives. This will prevent unauthorized users from accessing data stored on a lost or stolen laptop. We recommend services such as Absolute LoJack for Laptops that allow the IT administrator to remotely erase drives on misplaced laptops.
Physical Security
Locate servers in secure rooms with keyed access.
Changing Publishing Business Models
Publishing is changing. Faced with an increasing digitize world publishers are becoming providers of content to third parties that repackage their content. Consumers can obtain content in chunks, as subscriptions, temporary access and via the traditional book purchase.
A recent article by Wolf-Michael Mehl; Executive Vice President of Klopotek, touches on several current and future challenges in publishing and explains what Klopotek can do to support publishers in these specific fields.
The highlights of the article are:
There is a trend towards books being purchased in smaller numbers, while the types of products offered has to increase in order to remaining successful….Keywords such as "lending" content and flat rates for access to content are becoming more and more important.
The Klopotek author portal; STREAM Application – Authors Online, allows authors and agents to access royalties, sales, rights transactions and royalty statements online. This reduces the work for the staff and emailing statements instead of mailing them saves the company money.
The STREAM Application – Rights Sales Manager, allows publishers to focus on the marketing of available rights. All the information regarding a title and its component rights are accessible via a single portal. The rights manager also tracks potential licensee's topics of interests.
Klopotek tracks "chunk" products for each title. A "chunk" is a component of a title. Examples of "chunks" are a chapter, a table, or a form." "In Klopotek, "chunk" variants can have individual titles, prices, and information on page number, so they can be sold and invoiced just like e-books."
The STREAM Application – Permissions and Compliance Manager, contains all of the content, asset and license metadata that allows the publisher to ensure that any content sales are in compliance with the licensing agreements.
Klopotek O2C; order to cash, application supports traditional sales models along with online subscriptions, bundles, bundles that include a subscription product along with the sale of customized products.
In addition to the points listed above I would add the importance of content discovery functionality. Content chunks only sell if a consumer or potential licensee discovers it. Context oriented discovery engines such as Google Scholar or Microsoft Academic can help a user find the content that he is looking for. These search engines index the full text and/or metadata of each indexed article/book.

IT Security for Royalty Software
This 2014 hack of the Sony computer system has lead many larger publishers to examine the security of their royalty software systems. The requirements in recent RFP's often mention security as one of their key criteria.
What is security for a royalty software?
From our point of view royalty software security is composed of three components:
- Data file encryption
- Document management system encryption
- User access rights
- Security monitoring / auditing
Data File Encryption
Most royalty applications are built on a MS-SQL server.
For these applications here is a listing of the ten SQL database security tasks. These tasks include implementing cell level encryption and encrypting the data that is transmitted between the app and the database.
Document Management System Encryption
The DMS (document management system) stores copies of royalty agreements. PDFs of scanned royalty agreements may be stored within the royalty application or in a separate location.
For document security, we recommend that PDFs be stored on an encrypted drive. Access to the documents should be limited to the royalty software. Only users logged into the royalty software can access these documents in their unencrypted state.
User Access Rights
Access rights controls which users can access the software. Many software intrusions result from the hacker breaking in with a user's password. For greater security against this threat we recommend two factor user authentication for users accessing the royalty system.
Single factor authentication relies on the user submitting his user name and password.
Two factor authentication requires a users password and a PIN that is dynamically generated when the user attempts to sign in. This PIN may be created by a physical device that a user has access to or it may be emailed to the user's mobile phone.
When an employee leaves the company their access rights should be immediately terminated.
Security Monitoring / Auditing
Third party IT security solutions and services can monitor access to the selected folders and files to prevent downloading and copying to unauthorized locations.

Software Selection: Vendor Area of Expertise
An important criteria of any book publishing software purchase decision is the vendor's area of expertise.
Publishing software solutions often focus their development in a few specific areas. While some vendor solutions excel in financial management others focus on title information management, production management, royalties & rights, sales order processing or ecommerce sales.
A vendor's area of expertise can be identified by their software development roadmap, reading press releases to see what are the most commonly implemented modules are and viewing the vendor's website to see what functionality receives the most emphasis.
Example 1: IBS Bookmaster is known for their sales order processing, distribution management and warehouse management along with integrated financials. Most of their clients operate have distribution and warehouse operations. A review of their website shows an emphasis on supply chain management and financial reporting.
Example 2: Klopotek is known for their production management, title information and royalty & rights management functionality. This is where most of their ongoing development has occurred.
Example 3: knkPublishing is known for their integrated Microsoft Dynamics financials. Publishers that purchased their software did so in large part because of their integration with the financial management modules provided by Microsoft Dynamics.
Example 4: Firebrand Technologies is known for their turn-key title information management.
Example 5: Easy Royalties is known for their powerful royalty solutions for small publishers.
Example 6: Publishing Technology is known for implementing ecommerce solutions for publishers and their order to cash solutions for publishers.
Example 7: Virtusales focus is title information management, production management and royalties. They do not handle sales nor offer integrated financials.

It's back-to-school time for us and I see parents anxiously requesting information on the best places for new backpacks and lunch boxes and fretting over fall wardrobes. Like most holidays or life events (weddings! college!) we tend to zone in on preparing ourselves by buying stuff. Yet, the emotional, psychological and physical strain of these changes and events usually can't be smoothed over with new shoes or a fresh hair cut. So in response to these lists of must-buy-now-to-ensure-student-success lists here are four things your kids really need for back-to-school.
Four Things Your Kids Really Need for Back to School
Yeah, that's right, your kids really really really need good sleep. So don't worry if their jeans are running a bit short or you don't have a winter jacket for them yet, try to encourage and enable good sleep. Limit screen time in the evening and insist on lights out at the same time each night. Your kids need sleep like they need good and nutritious food. It's essential. And the benefits are not just less grumpy and more energetic kids: quality sleep reduces their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Change can be hard even for the most adaptable and easy going kid. We notice during this season of transition back to school that even our no fuss kids can have a rare meltdown or explosive behaviour(this book is really helping my family right now). If you have a sensitive child or one that struggles with change or transitions – you probably already know that the next few weeks are going to be tough on all of you. What to do? Give them some extra reassurance that you're there for them and that even if it's a rocky start to the school year, it will all be alright.
Lunch. Plain and simple.
This is the time of year where articles keep popping up with '30 school lunch ideas' and Instagram is filled with beautiful bento box lunches that look like a boutique Manhattan deli made them. If beautiful school lunches are your jam and something you love doing for your kids – enjoy! For the rest of us: just pack a lunch. Note: I got these YumBox lunch boxes for our family a few months back on sale (Vancouverites: Vancouver Community College clears them out at the end of the school year at a good discount) and they have actually made our life easier. I so rarely recommend products here but these really are great. We eat very simple lunches – fruit, vegetable, something substantial that is easy to make or leftovers – and these containers have made it easy for me to offload lunch making to my husband and the kids. They're also so fast to fill up that if we are in a rush before leaving for a day trip I can have these things packed before I convince myself that buying lunch out is a good idea.
Your attention.
Even ten minutes of your time each day in the next few weeks can be gold. No television on, no multi-tasking, no checking your phone. Be with them. Ask them how it's going, who's in their class and if they have any concerns. If they don't want to talk about it and then do something with them: play, a board game, Lego, a walk around the neighbourhood, reading a chapter book together.
My oldest needs a new pair of shoes (and we will get them eventually) but I also know that the more important back-to-school items for him are sleep and a lot of quiet time as he gets used to a new school, new teacher and new classmates. My youngest also has a transition this fall so we won't be planning much for the early evenings the next few weeks as he will be extra tired and emotional. And yes, I have to remind myself of all this stuff too as the onslaught of what to buy for back-to-school is everywhere. It is so pervasive that I even start to think, do we need to go shopping? What are we missing that's important? Guess what, we're not missing anything. The bigger things my kids need in a season of change can't be bought in a store.

An organized workspace is an efficient workspace. Press brake technicians should have all the tools they need to perform a changeover. Unlabeled punches and dies, stored haphazardly on a rack, on the floor, or in boxes, only make their jobs harder.
As fabricators experience increased demand for heavy-plate forming services for the shipbuilding, structural steel, and heavy equipment industries, they need to improve thick-plate bending throughput.

Something fresh hits television screens in the UK in September – and, just for a change, it has nothing to do with chefs, home improvements or wannabe celebrities and pop stars.\r\n\r\nAs the UK's third largest driving school, we've decided it's time to make our mark, launching our 2011 TV advertising campaign, which aims to cement our place in the UK consciousness from September 5th.\r\n\r\nOf course, the Bill Plant brand is already well-established across the nation; every day, thousands of people will see our distinctive red-and-yellow logo emblazoned on our fleet of more than Hyundai i30 cars all over the country.\r\n\r\nHowever, thanks to the way we've marketed ourselves in the past, many believe Bill Plant is local to them – that we're their very own "local national driving school".\r\n\r\nNow, though, we think it's time to underline our true position in the market – another no-nonsense, Yorkshire company offering good, old-fashioned value for money in return for a fair and honest service.\r\n\r\nEveryone excels or struggles with different things and we want to be sure we do all we can to ensure each one of our pupils feels their lessons match their ability. There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to learning; it's very much a personal thing.\r\n\r\nBut we're not just here for new drivers; road safety is a key part of the Bill Plant ethos and we're ready and able to help with more advanced driver training, with packages developed for corporate clients, for winter driving and economic motoring.\r\n\r\nYou'll find more details elsewhere on our website – along with dozens of safe driving tips we hope you'll find useful but, in the meantime, we hope you enjoy the TV adverts – and feel free to let us know what you think! \r\n
Month: August 2011
The New Hyundai i30…WOW!
Here at the Bill Plant School of Motoring we have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with Hyundai.\n\nWe have used their vehicles the last 3 years, giving our students the very best in terms of quality and safety when learning to drive in the UK, and allowing parents to remain at ease knowing that not only are their children catered for by extremely highly qualified and impeccably professional driving instructors, but also safe in the knowledge that the vehicle used to practice the driving skills is voted one of the safest vehicles on our UK roads today!\n\nThe Hyundai i30 1.6 diesel CRDi 90 Classic ISG 5dr is the car used by the majority of the Bill Plant driving instructors today with a few of our instructors using the ix35 to teach their students, both the instructors and ourselves have nothing but praise to offer to Hyundai, their vehicles are fantastic.\n\nThe Bill Plant School of Motoring franchise has over 600 instructors nationwide, offering their specialist training to students up and down the country, and at price deals deemed unbeatable by some.\nThe "5 for £56" is one of our most popular deals, and has been in circulation since Bill Plant himself began his driving school in 1993.\nThe price was 5 lessons for £56 then, and this price has carried through right up until present day, as such the value only increases as each day passes!\nCurrently the Bill Plant School of Motoring offers a regional offer of "5 for £25" too, this is for those students in the Blackburn area at present, and this offer will migrate from region to region as time goes on; could this be an offer that stays just like the "5 for £56" offer?\n\nThese offers coupled with the quality of instruction and vehicles used in the Bill Plant School of Motoring franchise have allowed us to grow and expand, letting us offer our unbeatable services to students up and down the country.\n\nIt gets better…\n\nBill Plant Ltd will be using Hyundai for some time to come, and with the brand new Hyundai i30 looming just around the corner, things really can only get better.\nWhatCar have this to say about Hyundai"s new i30:\n\n\n\n"This is Hyundai"s next i30, previewed in a design rendering ahead of its public debut at the Frankfurt motor show.\n\nThe new Focus-sized hatchback replaces the model introduced in 2007 and brings some of the styling cues that were introduced recently on Hyundai"s i40 Tourer, including a hexagonal front grille and pronounced "shoulders" over the front wheelarches.\n\nHyundai has yet to release technical details, but we"d expect further efficiency gains over the current model, including a lean diesel variant that takes CO2 emissions under 100g/km.\n\nA hybrid or full electric i30 is unlikely in the near future, though; Hyundai has been trialling those technologies in other countries, but has concerns about customer demand for them in the UK.\n\nThe new i30 is due on sale early next year and is the first in a range of revamped models for Hyundai over the next 18 months.\n\nThe styling of the line-up – which also includes a new Santa Fe and i20, plus the Veloster coupe – is designed to be more "emotional", according to Hyundai Europe"s president Chang Kyung Han. "The new generation is a real leap," he said. "The model line-up is moving forward emotionally and technically.""\n\nTo the Bill Plant School of Motoring this is great news, not only will our students be learning their driving skills in one of the most stylish looking vehicles on the roads, but they will be safe, secure, environmentally friendly, and as always, in the very best of hands.\n\nFor more information or to ask us absolutely anything driving related, please do not hesitate to contact us;\n\nFREEPHONE number: 0330 555 2254\nEmail: email@example.com
Flooding: Take Extra Care When Driving!
Reports are coming in thick and fast regarding the absolutely awful weather we"re having here in parts of the UK, and the flooding that is resulting up and down the country is causing problems for all, let alone the drivers.

The Bill Plant School of Motoring has pledged its continued commitment to road safety, despite concern that financial pressures could lead to a rise in risks on the road.\r\n\r\nThere were 1,857 people killed in road accidents last year – 16 per cent fewer than in 2009 and the lowest since records began in 1992, according to provisional government figures released yesterday.\r\n\r\nSome analysts fear government spending cuts could reduce the number of accident reduction initiatives implemented by local authorities and other public bodies, and figures could rise.\r\n\r\nHowever, Bill Plant – the country's third largest driving school – has vowed to maintain all current initiatives developed to train drivers to the highest possible standards, both before and after their test.\r\n\r\nThe company has already discontinued the enrolment of PDI's (provisional driving instructors) and has confirmed that by winter 2011, all of its PDI's will be expected to have passed exams to become fully-fledged approved driving instructors (ADIs), offering pupils the best possible training.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the company has also promised:\r\n\r\n• ADIs are offered continuing professional development (CPD) free of charge, to ensure the quality of instruction they offer remains of the highest possible standard.\r\n\r\n• Bill Plant – which trains a vast proportion of its own instructors and then offers each the opportunity to pass their knowledge down to learner drivers – will continue to equip ADIs with a handbook for each student, allowing them to keep a written reference of each one's individual progress, ensuring they're only put forward for tests when they're ready.\r\n\r\n• The company's fleet of Hyundai i30s – and, more recently, iX35s – are maintained to the highest level, covered by a manufacturers' warranty, and are serviced every 20,000 miles.\r\n\r\n• Bill Plant will continue to offer training for all drivers in techniques used in poor weather such as snow, ice and fog. The sister-company, Corporate Driving Management Ltd works with the corporate sector, offering coaching to company vehicle drivers, enhancing road safety awareness and reducing company insurance premiums.\r\n\r\n• The company will continue to seek ways of working with council road safety teams to deliver road safety seminars to schools and youth groups, using the company's own Billy Bee literature and merchandise.\r\n\r\n• The company remains committed to its road safety road show, touring towns and cities around the UK to promote the Bill Plant road safety initiatives. Upcoming venues for 2011 include Cornhill, Lincoln on the 9th August, Bolton on the 11th August, Great Yarmouth on the 13th August, and Kidderminster Market on the 18th August.\r\n\r\n"Obviously, we can't maintain the good work alone – it has to be a partnership with other agencies," said Bill Plant spokesman, 'Robert Pallister' "We hope that with our high-quality training, and by offering a helping hand to cash-strapped local authorities, we can do our bit to make the UK's roads that bit safer".\r\n\r\nMore information about driver training and road safety initiatives offered by the Bill Plant School of Motoring can be found online at www.billplant.co.uk or by calling our FREEPHONE number 0330 555 2254.\r\n
Bill Plant tackles high costs of driving!
Radio 1's Newsbeat has had quite a lot to say about driving schools over the last couple of weeks.\n\n \n\nFirst, the programme ran a story about the push to have only approved driving instructors take students out on the roads; today, the headlines are about a 19% decline in young learners since 2005 – the result of the higher costs of learning to drive and then running a car.\n\n \n\nWe're pleased we're a little ahead of the game on both counts at the Bill Plant School of Motoring.\n\n \n\nFor example, the company has announced just last month that it will only be recruiting ADIs in future, asking the company's existing probationary instructors to step up to the mark and complete their training as soon as possible.\n\n \n\nMeanwhile, lessons with a Bill Plant instructor remain among the most competitively priced in the UK – a policy which has helped us grow since 1993 to become the UK's third largest driving school with a reputation for going that extra mile.\n\n \n\nWe think five lessons for £56 is pretty fair but we don't just offer cost-effective training that will help you shed your L plates as soon as possible. Our website includes free hazard perception training, an online theory test, tips on learning the highway code and how to prepare for your test, enhancing your chances of cutting your costs by passing first time.\n\n \n\nHowever, we're committed to road safety and the long game and we hope students who pass their test with us will be back for coaching in how to cope with bad weather such as ice, snow and fog. After all, the quicker you persuade your insurer you're safe on the roads, the quicker your insurance premiums will fall.\n\n \n\nWe can also teach even experienced motorists how to drive economically; we can't do much about the cost of petrol and diesel, but the less you use the better – both in economical and environmental terms.\n\n \n\nIf you can't afford a new car, you could always try our online road safety competition. Answer one simple question and you're in with a chance of following in the footsteps of 17-year-old waitress Gemma Bellfield from Milton Keynes, who won a brand new Hyundai i30 in our draw in June.\n\n \n\nIn summary, Newsbeat's story on the decline in young drivers is no surprise in the current economic climate – but, before you give up and resign yourself to endless commutes on the bus and the train, give us a call. We'd love to help if we can.\n\n

I notice they've included moths as well. Thanks for the link, I usually have my lunch over the meadows at the back of Ealing Hospital, I'll print this off and add to the count. I have seen quite a few over there this year so far.
Just as an aside, I notice Dragon flies are around as well, there's quite a few of those around the Grand Union canal.

Study Abroad/Off-Campus: From Global to Local: Crafting Contemporary Art in India
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Kochi
January 3-17, 2017 (depart January 1 or 2 if flying directly from the US)*
*Note: Dates and itinerary subject to change
We are pleased to announce that the India Study Trip will be co-led by Faculty members Katarina Weslien, Fiber and Material Studies, and Nora Taylor, Art History, Theory and Criticism, with the Assistance of Katherine Trimble.
This course will focus on India's rich regional history, its material culture and craft traditions and their manifestations in Contemporary Art. Activities will include visits to craft centers, art galleries and markets in Delhi, the historic city of Jaipur, the Taj Mahal and the old Fort Cochin, or Kochi, home of India's only international art Biennale. Students will witness the changing landscape of arts and crafts in India partially rooted in a conservative Hindu caste system where every caste traditionally had an ascribed status based on their profession in the society where crafts sustained generations of villagers around the country. In the 21st century, craft traditions are in transition in light of global trade and rapid economic development that relies more on mass industry than household enterprise. Artistic practices have also evolved over the past century and students will have the opportunity to visit artists' studios in Delhi and witness the dynamic atmosphere of a world-class biennale set in the historic town of Kochi.
These layers of history will be evident throughout the course of the 15-day journey from North to South. We will begin in the northern capital of Delhi, where we will visit Mughal architecture including the precursor to the Taj Mahal, Humayan's Tomb, and the 12th Century Qutb Minar, as well as the Gandhi Smriti (museum dedicated to the history of Mahatma Gandhi) to learn about Delhi's history. We will visit the Old City, walking the lanes of the spice, textile, bookmaking, recycling markets, and the temples and shrines of Jain, Hindu and Muslim faiths. We will visit the National Gallery, the Nature Morte Art Gallery as well as the beautiful garden campus of the Sanskriti Foundation. Artists' visits include Mithu Sen, Sumakshi Singh and Amar Kanwar.
We will then travel to Agra by train to visit the famed Taj Mahal and take another train to Jaipur to view the City Palace, the astrological observatory Jantar Matar and the markets of the Pink City. We travel by plane to the smaller Southern city of Kochi, where we will meet with the Kochi-Muziris Biennale curator and an art historian of contemporary Indian art. We will view the historic buildings of Fort Cochin, that include India's oldest Catholic church and one of the few remaining synagogues in India. We will spend time in the Biennale viewing works by contemporary artists and tour some of the Biennale collateral projects. The Kochi Biennale is only in its 3rd edition and already it has received praise for its efforts at building community both locally and globally. The venues for the Biennale are scattered around the city. Kochi is walkable and students will have an opportunity to safely scour the city for materials for their studio projects. We will also have a unique opportunity to attend performances of Kerala's unique dance tradition of Kathakali as well as visit the only all-female troupe.
The trip will offer both studio and art history credit by providing opportunities for students to research Indian art, crafts and visual culture and develop their studio practice by responding to elements of Indian culture in their work based on their experiences in the country. The art history portion of the trip will include group sessions to go over the reading and students will develop their own research projects on Indian art based on direct observation. In pre-departure meetings we will discuss strategies of how each student can develop their unique way of recording the experience.
Credits: 3 credits STUDIO and / or 3 credits ARTHI (4000-level)

From last winter's India course evaluations:
• This has by far been one of the best experiences of my life. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had this opportunity. That's why I have put off filling out this course evaluation until two hours before it's due because I can't sum up this trip it's amazing and far too dense.
• I feel that many of my views have changed and I am thinking of concepts and issues in the world that I've never considered before.
• This trip was really grounding in a way that was refreshing after not having traveled outside of the country for many years and especially being so caught up in the bubble that can occur at SAIC.
• Do lots of research before you leave, pack plenty of medicine and toilet paper. Make sure to have clothing for extreme heat and cooler nights.
• Be ready with your finger on the mouse when it comes time to register – make sure you get a spot. This was the most adventurous and insightful experience of my life to date. I enjoyed each and every day of the trip, and I wouldn't trade those three weeks in India for anything.
• Really do your research about India before you consider this trip. It is not for everyone but it is an incredibly fruitful experience that will definitely take you out of your element. An experience of a lifetime, especially for a school study trip. You will likely never have access to the places and people that you get to meet over the course of this trip.

I'm not even a football fan, much less a Ravens fan, but in the interest of history, Poe was actually from Boston and spent most of his life bouncing between several cities, and then died in Baltimore after living there for 14 years.
This message brought to you by the Professional Association of English Majors.

which is why i did not say that balty was the birthplace of e.a.p. i simply called it his home, which is not at all untrue. the city does boast an edgar allan poe house and museum, and considers itself the "home" of the creepy writer who mostly bounced around. it is interesting that they would name their pro football franchise after a poem by a man that really didn't even hail from baltimore. i'm not sure how much thought went into that. but maybe the baltimore crabs just didn't have the same ring to it...

That's so funny. Richmond VA also has an Edgar Allen Poe museum. I'm starting to wonder if Edgar Allen Poe museums are like Steelers bars--there's one in just about every town you might visit, just in case.

Privacy Statement News NUGEN Audio NUGEN Audio Delivers Loudness Toolkit 2 at 2015 NAB Show NUGEN Audio Delivers Loudness Toolkit 2 at 2015 NAB Show 8th April 2015 NUGEN Audio has released Loudness Toolkit 2 bundle, the latest generation of the company's suite of loudness metering and correction tools. Consisting of the VisLM-H 2 loudness meter , LM-Correct 2 quick-fix tool, and ISL 2 true-peak limiter , Loudness Toolkit 2 now offers workflow enhancements and upgrades designed as a companion for users of nonlinear editors (NLEs) and digital audio workstations (DAWs). While these upgrades are available now, NUGEN Audio will launch an additional version of Loudness Toolkit 2 for AVID Pro Tools | HDX power users by this summer, delivering Pro Tools | HDX-compatible versions of the company's VisLM-H 2 loudness meter and ISL 2 true-peak limiter. Loudness Toolkit 2 integrates a loudness measurement and compliance workflow into the NLE suite, placing the engineer at the heart of the process with faster, smarter tools that take the guesswork and iterative processing out of loudness compliance. Engineers can realize profound time-savings through quick-check and correction processing at up to 100 times faster than real time, within an NLE or as a file-based application. With a single click, they can ensure loudness compliance and prevent costly mistakes. By combining program and short-term or momentary loudness corrections, Loudness Toolkit 2 ensures engineers are fully equipped for evolving loudness regulations. Improvements to the industry-standard VisLM-H loudness meter include a clear, resizable user interface with zoomable and scrollable logging and history. Another powerful new function in VisLM-H 2 is NUGEN Audio's ReMEM program loudness overdub mode, which instantly overdubs changes and recalculates loudness on the fly. ReMEM saves time by building and remembering the loudness profile, locking it to the timecode, and saving it between sessions. In addition, offline loudness calculations can now be imported into the real-time VisLM meter. With NUGEN Audio's ISL 2 on the master bus, engineers can "set and forget" the tool with the assurance of true-peak compliance at all times. ISL's new dynamic auto-release mode enhances algorithm transparency by intelligently adjusting recovery for low-frequency content. Unique channel-linking visualizations and interdependency controls make ISL 2 an unprecedented solution for a new generation of production requirements. LM-Correct 2 now provides users with single-click analysis and correction to accelerate workflow for every seat, executing loudness analysis and correction up to 100 times faster than real time. This includes combined program and short-term or momentary loudness correction that enables simple compliance with new regulations. In addition, NUGEN Audio now offers professional users its industry-leading DynApt dynamic adaptation technology as a time-saving optional extension for LM-Correct 2. For the first time, DynApt uniquely brings loudness range (LRA) correction into the timeline for rapid re-versioning or dynamic content repurposing. DynApt identifies and respects transitions and meets specifications intelligently while preserving dialog clarity. Loudness Toolkit 2 is available as a plug-in suite that also incorporates stand-alone versions of VisLM-H 2 and LM-Correct 2. Supported plug-in formats for VisLM-H 2 and ISL 2 include AAX, RTAS, VST2, VST3, and AU. VisLM-H 2, ISL 2, and LM-Correct 2 are also available as AVID Audio suite plug-ins. Price: $949. Current owners can upgrade to Loudness Toolkit 2 for a special price of $299 until June 30, 2015, and for $399 thereafter. Clients who have purchased the current version of the Loudness Toolkit, VisLM, ISL, or LM-Correct after Jan. 1, 2015 will receive complimentary upgrades to the respective new versions. In addition, special pricing and upgrade paths will be offered to all current owners. Pricing and availability for HDX versions will be announced at a later date.

What is your actual study question? Write it out.
What is your actual hypothesis given the question?
Hi everybody,
I'm really new on this topic of statistical testing and I hope to find some help here.
I was trying to figure out which test I need for analyzing my data. However, I guess by reading that much I confused myself.
This is my data:
I analyzed two different retailers with respect to the avialbility of their products for 3 months. I would now like to test, if the difference in availability is statistically significant. First I thought I would use a independant sample t-test... But now I'm confused.
Because: I think it does not make sense to compare the average number of available products, as the number of total products at a retailer are different.
Let's say:
Retailer A: day 1: 12 of 14 products available, day 2: 15 of 18 products available, ..
Retailer B: day 1: 36 of 40 products available, day 2: 38 of 41 products available, ..
First I thought I could test the average of available products, so summing up 12+15+ ... /90 for retailer A and 36+38+.../90 for retailer B.
But as the total number of products differs each day, I think I better use percentages?
Because I think just comparing the average number of available products does not make a lot of sense as one retailer in general offers more products than the other.
Retailer A: day 1: 85% available, day 2: 83% available , ...
Retailer B: day 1: 90% available, day 2 92% available, ...
Can I compare the means of these percentages with a t-test? Because I saw people also used Chi-Square, but this is only for non-metric data ...
And I think I can't use a "normal" mean, but a weighted one, right?
As you see, I'm really new to the topic! Therefore, I'm thankful for any comment!!
Thank you very much!!

What is your actual study question? Write it out.
What is your actual hypothesis given the question?
Stop cowardice, ban guns!
Thank you!
You're right, I was not clear, I'm sorry!
I would like to see two things.
1)if differences in average number of products are statistically relevant between the tow retailers
2) if differnces in average percentage of products that are available at a retailer are relevant
For the first one, I clearly would use unpaired sample t-test, but for the second I am not sure, if
- using percentages is correct as amount of products differs each day
- a t-test can be applied to those percentages
Hope that was clearer now Thank you!
Whether percentages are o.k. or not is up to you to decide.
If the % represents what you want to know about, then use it.
I do not know what you mean by statistically relevant, but1)if differences in average number of products are statistically relevant between the tow retailers
anyway, do you mean by "availability" the sheer number of
available products, or do you mean the differences between
products and available products?
You can use either as DV, using t-test or U-test. But
since you have day-to-day data, observations within
groups are possibly not independent. Or does availability
(number of available products/number of non-available
products/ % of available products) on day i NOT affect
availabilty on day i+1?
With kind regards
Dear K. and all the others!
Thank you very much. I somehow get the feeling this is more complicated than I thought..
My data regarding products listed looks like this (A = retailer A, B = retailer B)
day A B
19-May 36 11
20-May 38 20
21-May 39 19
and so on.
Regarding question 1
So, I observed that on average for 3 months at one retailer 38 products were listed and on the other 17;
and now I'm doing a t-test to see if the differece is statistically significant as one retailer is a supermarket and the other a drugstore. So there might be differences. That's the first thing I would like to do.
Data set for the second question regarding availability looks the same, showing only number of products available for purchase --> sheer number, not difference
days A B
19-May 30 11
20-May 31 18
21-May 32 18
Now, I think I have various options. As the amount of listed products varies each day, I thought when comparing availability, it would be useful to compare average percentage of available products between retailers.. So, calculating percentages
days A B
19-May 83,33% 100% of products available for purchase
20-May 81,57 % 90% of products available for purchase
21-May 82,05% 94,7% of products available for purchase
Now, I would compare the average percentage of available products between those retailers because they have different stock order management systems.
First question on calculating avergaes of percentages:
Is it simply (83,33+91,57+82,05)/3 in order to get the average or do I have to take account for the differing number of products generally listed each day.. ? arithmetic mean or geometric mean?
Besides that, no I obersved that on average at retailer A 82,3% of its products were available and at retailer B 94,9% were available.
That are the two means I would like to test and use a t-test, right?
Many many thank to you!!
You may see I'm kind of lost here..
The reason is, I first gathered the data and told my advicer that there is no sense in statistical testing to which she agreed...however, when presenting here what I already did (will hand in my paper in 2 weeks), she said I have to test the data somehow -> depends to me, what to test; but if I wont do a statistical test, I will get a bad mark.. so it's not the typical way of first thinking what to do and then do it but rather to see what I can do with my data that makes at least somehow sense...
Because of the assumptions underlying the t-test.however, when being out of stock on day i, for sure another day i + 3 it may will be on stock again, here being out of stock influences being in stock later again.. I'm a bit consfused as I don't know why this is important.
The calculation of the p-values assumes independent
observations. Seemingly, your observations (or, correctely
speaking, the errors/residuals) are not independent, but
autocorrelated, and the standard errors used for the
calculations are not correctely estimated.
One remedy could be to use only a subset of your data,
e.g. every 4th day or so, so that observations are
less correlated. Unfortunately, this would hughely
reduce the sample size and therefore the power of
the test.
Ok, so maybe you just do it incorrectely and performbut if I wont do a statistical test, I will get a bad mark..
t-tests without considering bias through autocorrelation...
With kind regards

The Magical Wish
You have been fortunate enough to meet a short red-bearded fellow dressed all in green (maybe the Notre Dame mascot). He tells you that he cannot leave unless you release him by making one wish (sounds a lot like a leprechaun). The wish must somehow change your life, but you must make a wish or the little fellow must stay with you and make your life a living hell. The wish can only be fulfilled if you place your own image into another environment and give it to the strange little man.
Here are your choices and guidelines:
Size, Mode, and File Type:
Picture and Subject

Manual classification of soils into textural classes with the USDA textural triangle is tedious. This computer program can perform the same task easier and faster. The algorithm is based on the fact that each point in the textural triangle represents a unique combination of sand and clay content. For a given textural class, all combinations of sand and clay content are bound by a polygon. Finding the textural class is equivalent to finding the polygon where a particular combination of sand and clay is located. Both a World Wide Web interactive version and a Windows 95 console program are available. On a 133 MHz Pentium microcomputer, the Windows version can classify 1000 soil samples in about a second.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Transportation to Branson is getting even easier in 2009. Up until this year 2008 aprx. 95% of Bransons visitors came by vehicle. These included private automobiles, RVs, chartered bus and rented cars from the Springfield-Branson Airport Springfield, Mo about 40 miles to the north. The other 5% probably arrived by private or chartered airplane flying into the Taney County Airport . This airfield is a smaller airport on the grounds of the College of the Ozarks in Branson and not large enough for commercial airplanes.
While the above transportation options will still be the main travel source Branson will, in the spring of 2009, have it's own commercial airport called the
Branson Airport and it is in the city of
Hollister , a Branson suburb, and is only 8 miles or 15 minutes from Branson. The
Springfield-Branson Airport will continue to bring in passengers to Branson where they maybe able to make better connections from their home city or find better fares. Surface transportation from Springfield would make the savings smaller.
This new airport will also bring in folks to the new Branson Convention Center . Grayline will provide ground transportation of all types from the new airport as well as to and from Springfield. The Branson Airport will also have a hotel built soon and is very close to several Golf Courses and Branson Creek Lodging . Click on the airport link for much more on the new facility.
Even though millions of folks arrive yearly at Branson via Motor Coach. In my opinion they have one major setback. The coach tours are booked so filled with shows (to make them sell better) they leave no time for leasure or side trips. They will often have 3-4 shows a day with only time between to eat quick meals and sleep. We have had friends arrive this way and they had to give up shows to come and see our new home overlooking Table Rock lake and the Branson skyline. We picked them up and returned them because they had no private surface transportation. With that said I think the Motor Coach tour is a good way to first visit Branson and get a general feel for the city and the area and all the Entertainment and Attractions. The next trip you might like to have your own transportation so you can see more of the Ozark Mountain County and the beautiful lakes we have in abundance. You may also want to make a side trip to Eureka Springs which is really a wonderful experience as it is a great look at a early Ozark Mountain Country Town built deep in the hills with lots of quaint Victorian architecture and narrow steets winding along the mountain canyon floor with the homes and businesses hanging on the mountain walls. I remember one shop that had the mountain face as it's back wall.
Your own transportation would also give you a chance to get in some great fishing and boating and you could even stay at a Lake Resort and still be only minutes from the famous Hwy 76 Country Music Boulevard. There is also good fishing and kayak/canoe/tubing on the Buffalo River just to our south. We also made a side trip to Little Rock Arkansas and visited the President Clinton Library. Our surface transportation is really much better since they completed the second lane on highway 65 south from Branson to the Arkansas state line where there were 4 lanes before. This improvement also includes a new super traffic exchange in the city of Hollister that illiminated two traffic lights that used to back up traffic for miles to Branson and points farther north or south. Highway 65 is also a main north south route for lots of truck traffic and that also makes for tough bumper to bumper traffic. Now there is never a slowdown on highway 65 unless there are repairs or an accident.
OK, now lets talk about traffic on Hwy 76, also known as Country Music Blvd., except during the winter off tourist season this 5 mile stretch of hwy. is bumper to bumper. The city has tried to limit the number of stop lights as they really slow down the through traffic. There is however 4 traffic lights and they are really needed to handle all the merging and cross traffic at major intersections. Folks here, well the locals usually, will slow down the 76 traffic or even stop a little short to let merging traffic get in line or at least into the center turn lane. This turn lane really helps keep the traffic moving.
After being here a while you will see or read about the traffic relief routes. They basically are parallel or circle routes that take traffic off the main drag and move them around the traffic back ups and back to the hwy. close to their destination. We locals use them all through the busy season to get around quicker. You need to stop at a visitor center and get a map that has all the traffic relief routes marked on them and those maps will also have all the attractions/entertainment marked as well. These routes are designated by colors such as the Green Route, Red Route or Blue Route Etc.
One great way to get a tour of the city and lake area is to take a tour on the Ducks. These are amphibious military style crafts that go on land and in the water. These are being built here in Branson now. They will take you through part of the city and out to Table Rock Lake where you will take a cruise over by the Branson Bell Showboat and you will see the State of Missouri Campground and Marina Then you travel up to a couple high look out spots where you can look out over the lake and the city.
There have been some studies made on how to alleviate some of the traffic along the strip. They have looked at closing the strip and only using trolley or monorail but that would only put the traffic somewhere else and be hard on those that have disabilities. They also want to preserve the original flavor of the strip and not make it look commercial. The way it is works OK you just have to allow lots of extra time to go only a few miles at bumper to bumper speed of aprx. 5 MPH. Most of the tour bus drivers know the back streets and usually stay off the main drag. All the shows have special parking spots for the tour buses. Many folks book lodging on the strip and walk to their shows it's almost as fast as driving. There is cab service but no city bus service in Branson.
Another fun thing you can do is visit the older downtown part of Branson, the Business District, where the Branson Convention Center and Branson Landing is located and go for a scenic trip on the Branson Scenic Railroad. We took the train trip when all the trees were in fall color and it was really beautiful. The trip takes you out of the city and down the valley out into the country through a tunnel or two and stops on a high curved tressel. No it doesn't turn around there it is just pulled back to town by an engine on the other end. Yup it has an engine on both ends. This is a great get away ride.
Train passenger travel service stopped coming to Branson many many years ago but the track is still there going north and south through town and it hauls frieght on the most costly section of the entire rail line. All the grade was hand made with dynamite to blast the mountain sides and the loose rock was used to fill in the low spots on the grade. The tunnels were carved through the mountain and bridges constructed over the river and Taneycomo Lake. There is also scenic Tethered Baloon and Helicopter rides available in town. If you are up to a scenic drive you wouldn't want to miss the Wineries, Table Rock Dam . State of Missouri Fish Hatchery Complex and travel through the Ozark Montain Country. You can make a day trip all the way around Table Rock Lake and visit all the neighboring villages and cities along the way. There are some companies that give private tours of the area also.
We covered travel by Automobile, RV, Tour Bus, Airplane, Boat, Train and even the Ducks. We are glad to see about 8-10 million folks a year and with the new airport and Branson Convention Center we are hoping to extend our season to nearly year around.
