Table of ContentsTypes Of Software Vulnerabilities:How To Detect & Prevent Software Vulnerabilities?1. Static Techniques2. Dynamic Techniques
Software vulnerabilities could be in any form. Even a flaw, some error in code or in system could be used by the attackers to get into the system.
As the numbers of software are growing gradually day-by-day, vulnerabilities are also increasing with them. And, even a small loophole in it can allow attackers to gain access to obtain personal data or to alter the system environment. This makes it very important for the developers to know about the vulnerabilities and their preventions. This knowledge will help take necessary actions and steps to develop software without any loopholes and weaknesses.
So, today, in this article we will be talking about types of the software vulnerabilities and ways to detect and prevent them.
Types Of Software Vulnerabilities:
Let us know about types of software vulnerabilities and how can they be used by attackers:
1. Buffer Overflow: This occurs mostly in fixed length buffers, where sometimes data is written beyond the specified capacity, resulting in overflow. This may lead to disturbance in functioning of system, as the new data will overwrite the previous one, leading to corruption of ongoing processes and tasks. Attackers could use buffer overflow to deploy malicious modules and alter programs in order to gain control of the system.
2. XSS or cross site scripting: Well, this is basically for web-based applications. As some of them might already have malicious code injected, so it opens the door for an attacker to bypass controls and take control of the system in an easy way.
3. SQL injection: Here, the injection of code is deployed to exploit the content of database directly. This happens usually when the inputs are not managed in a right way.

How To Detect & Prevent Software Vulnerabilities?
For detection of software vulnerabilities there are two methods, which are: Dynamic and Static. Both techniques contain various methods for detection of vulnerabilities; let us take a look at them:
1. Static Techniques
These are the ones that are implemented directly to program code without even running it. The basic purpose of this is to find loophole in source code before executing. There are several methods for detecting the vulnerability statically, which are:
A. Pattern Matching – Used for searching a 'pattern' in particular string of source code.
B. Lexical Analysis – It is an add-on step before pattern matching, where source code is converted into sequence of tokens.
C. Parsing – When code is being parsed, a parsing tree is formed to evaluate the syntax and semantics of code.
D. Type Qualifier – Used for modifying types & properties of variables in programming language.
E. Data Flow Analysis – To determine values an expression or variable can have during execution.
2. Dynamic Techniques
The dynamic techniques are used to detect vulnerabilities after execution of the program code. Here are some of the dynamic methods used to detect software vulnerabilities:
A. Fault Injection – It's a testing technique to find security flaws in system. In this work faults are deployed in system to observe the system behavior.
B. Fuzzing Testing – In this a random code or data is given as input to the application to observe if it can handle it correctly. This is also used to get better coverage of system.
C. Dynamic Taint – It allows discovery of possible input validation problems which are reported as vulnerabilities.
For prevention, there are several ways to prevent software vulnerabilities. But, the most common methods are by understanding vulnerabilities by using models and theories to find any defects or error and correct them at the early stage of development.
Basically, it is called software inspection, a process for reading and inspecting the code by an expertise. One should always follow and develop software according Software development lifecycle (SDLC), so that there would be no loopholes and vulnerabilities in software.

Delhi NCR and Haryana is on High alert after Ram Rahim have got convicted in rape case. Being a Security Service company it is our duty to help you in staying secure from all the possible threats. Here are few tips on How to stay secure in a riot situation?
Prepare yourself
1- Get yourself familiar with your locality.
2- Keep in mind the possible escape routes and safe places while driving on road.
3-If your workplace is in the riot hit zone then better know all the escape routes in case of any attack by mob.
4-Keep small amount of cash to pay off looters, or address your basic needs.
Keep yourself calm
1- keep your head down and Avoid confrontation.
2- Walk not run if not necessary as you might attract unwanted attention.
Don't get yourself involved
If you're caught in a riot, the last thing you want to do is try to take sides, help out, or stand out. In fact, you should avoid any attention while you move outside of the mob.
Keep close your loved ones .
If you're travelling with your loved ones, then grip the hands or lock elbows with all of the people who are with you. If you're with a child, hold him in your arms so he doesn't get trampled. Stick together.
Drive your car carefully.
1-When you are driving in a riot zone then don't let a few angry people stop you from driving your car and keep going unless you absolutely can't.
2- While driving stay firm, but not aggressive, to avoid giving the wrong impression.
Move away from the riot calmly.
1-Keep moving with the crowd until you can escape.
2-If you're in the middle of a crowd move in the direction of crowed. Once you find an escape route, move aside.
Avoid crowded areas.
1-Avoid main roads and other high traffic areas. These places are likely to be crowded with rioters. Try to use less-traveled side streets to avoid the mobs.
2-Avoid public transportation. Buses, subways, and trains will likely be out of service, and stations and depots will probably be packed with people.
Keep yourself informed – Social media may provide rapid information but it is not always trust able.

Electricity, Renewable energy, Nuclear
The French pavilion at the India Nuclear Energy exhibition will host seventeen companies from the nuclear sector and two professional federations under the French pavilion organized by Business France at the INE 2015 exhibition. Besides attending the exhibition, they will meet key players like Larsen & Toubro, Areva and NPCIL.
The French nuclear sector is a cutting-edge industry with three major operators: Areva, EDF and Alstom. During the Indian Prime Ministers official visit to France in April 2015, considerable progress has been made on negotiations on the Jaitapur project. AREVA signed a Pre-engineering Agreement (PEA) with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with & Larsen & Toubro, to prepare for the EPR reactor licensibility in India and increase localization, within the frame of the "Make in India" policy.
In addition to these major industrial operators, the French nuclear industry boasts a network of different types of suppliers offering special products and services. The French nuclear industry's turnover is € 46 billion of which € 5.6 billion is the contribution from exports. It employs 220,000 people and France is the leader in Europe and has second position worldwide in terms of nuclear power generation (with 58 standardized reactors).
The Indian government is increasingly introducing initiatives to accelerate the development of civil nuclear power, making the sector a key priority to meet the energy needs of the country with limited impact on the environment. Indias current annual output of nuclear generated power is 5.78 GW, which it aims to increase to 14.6 GW in 2020 and 63 GW in 2032. The country is therefore set to become the second biggest market for new reactors between 2015 and 2032. India also offers opportunities in terms of maintaining and extending the service life of its current capacity, most of which is Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR).
There are ample opportunities for French companies interested to work in the Indian nuclear market by developing their contacts and preparing their offer for the upcoming tenders.
Since 2010, the French pavilion has the biggest and most visible international presence at the India Nuclear Energy exhibition organized by UBM. The French pavilion is set up in partnership with two federations:

What we do:
We study how and why the human body is the way it is from head to toe in both the field and the laboratory.
Evolutionary Anatomy and Physiology
We develop and test biomechanical and physiological models of how the human musculoskeletal system evolved to perform important physical activities. Our focus is the evolution of human physical activity, including its relevance to health and disease.
Key activities we study include: standing, walking, running, carrying, digging, throwing, chewing, and more.
We study these activities literally from head to toe including: feet, knees, the pelvis, the spine, the shoulders, the arms and the head.
The methods we use integrate a variety of experimental techniques including high speed 3D kinematics, kinetics, electromyography, strain gauges, and respirometry. We also use numerous imaging methodologies including CT, ultrasound, MRI, and histology.
Current projects include:
- The effects of shoes on the development and function of the foot
- Foot biomechanics in walking and running
- Biomechanics of the knee during walking and running
- Effects of bone metabolism on bone growth
- Adaptations for ventilation during running
- Upper body function during walking and running
- Head stabilization during locomotion
- How phsyical activity and energy affect the immune system
- The biomechanics of carrying
- The biomechanics of digging
- The biomechanics of throwing
Evolutionary Medicine
Many of the above research questions we ask are motivated by an interest in using evolutionary theory and data to find new, better ways to prevent and treat musculoskeletal disease. These currently include:
- Prevention of osteoarthritis
- How variations in shoe design may help prevent flat feet (pes planus) as well as high-arched feet (pes cavus)
- Preventing running injuries
- Treating and preventing lower back pain
- Understanding cephalopelvic disproportion (when a fetus is too large to pass through the mother's birth canal)
Field Research
Nandi Hills and Eldoret, Kenya
Since 2009, we have been working in the Nandi Hills and Uasin Gishu Counties, Kenya, primarily in the city of Eldoret and in the rural community of Kobujoi. There we study differences between Kalenjin-speaking people who are traditional subsistence farmers and those who have post-industrial lifestyles. Research questions include differences between barefoot and shod running, the effects of shoes on foot structure and development, how physical activity and muscle strength affects the lumbar lordosis and other aspects of the body, and more. This research is in collaboration with researchers at Moi Medical School, including Prof. Robert Ojiambo and Dr. Paul Okutoyi.
The Sierra Tarahumara, Mexico
The Tarahumara (Ràràmuri) are among the last Native American peoples who still practice subsistence farming. Since 2012, we have been studying their running biomechanics. We are also now studying musculoskeletal and cardiovascular aging in this population in collaboration with researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (Dr. Aaron Baggish) and the University of British Columbia (Prof. Robert Shave), and with the assistance of Mickey Mahaffey and Silvino Cubesare.

Piquette, or "little wine" is traditionally made for the vineyard workers. Refreshing and light in alcohol (5.5%) this wine is made from the second pressing of the grapes with the addition of a water. An ancient wine style that dates back to Roman times.
Because our wine production is focused on the production of ultra premium table wine, we press our fruit very gently. Typically small wineries get around 625 L/tonne of juice from white grapes, but we average around 510 L/tonne. This means we have very wet skins left with a lot of valuable juice. Piquette makes sense for us, because the quality and quantity of juice available to use as a base is exceptional.
When we begin making the piquette, we add a fraction of the juice yield to the skins and allow to macerate and ferment for up to two weeks. We then press and settle the wine and bottle shortly after.
Our Piquette is named for our daughter Audrey Ophelia, who like the wine, is bubbly and always brings a smile to the room.
Our original sparkling wine. Pet-Nat or Petillant Naturel, finishes fermentation in the bottle creating carbonation.
We changed our process a little this year to clarify the wine a little more then we have in the past. The two main varieties (Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc) cofermented to completion and we cold stabilized and settled. Once this was completed, we added a suss reserve of Vidal juice and immediately bottled.
The resultant wine is deliciously fresh and aromatic with tight bubbles and a bright, clean pallet.
We are biased, but this may be our best pet-nat yet!
This wine is actually a Pet-Nat, but for some reason we decided to call it sparkling Vidal. It is a little more rugged than our Pet-Nat that we call a Pet-Nat though. This is because we partially skin fermented it. No yeast inoculation, no nothing.
A little on the wild side, low in alcohol (9%) and high in acid. A lot of fun though.
Fun fact: When trying to decide what to name this wine, we checked the Wu-tang name generator for "sparkling Vidal". The Wu-tang name is "Midnight Destroyer", which we believe to be rather prophetic.
we will begin shipping second week of December 2019

8 days, 7 nights in Cornelia Diamond in a Standard Room
All Inclusive Restaurants and Bars
Green Fees
Free Wi-Fi
VIP Antalya Airport Transfer directly to/From Cornelia Diamond
Currently ranked as 75th within Continental Europe's Best Golf courses, The Faldo course is, according to us, the most challenging and demanding golf course in Belek, with curving and narrow fairways, perched greens, all accompanied with umbrella pine trees. Let's just say that the strategic player will have a definite advantage against the driver-boomer.
Belek is a small village about 30 km east of Antalya. It has developed into a seaside resort of international allure in a relatively short time. It is a small, quiet place, situated in a green environment where dunes, pine trees, pine forests and eucalyptus trees determine the beautiful landscape. You are here in one of the most beautiful and still unspoilt nature reserves of the Mediterranean coast. Did you know that more than 100 species of birds live here and that about 570 plant species grow? In the original center there are a few nice shops in the area of clothing, jewelery, leather goods, mini markets and also some bars, but it is certainly not a busy resort. Belek is known as a golf paradise. You navigate with your clubs on the perfectly maintained and playful landscaped fairways and greens. Bogazkent belongs to the region of Belek. It is a quiet and green area located about 30 km from Belek.
Excursion tips:
The beach of Belek consists of a gravel / sandy beach with pebbles along the water line. Behind the beach there is a row of dunes in many places. The beach is in many places in pine forests.

The Sopranos: too close for comfort
By ED BARK
Sunday night's episode of The Sopranos indirectly but chillingly evoked the horrific events at Virginia Tech University, even though it was scripted and filmed months earlier.
In a featured storyline, a still addled Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) had a precarious friendship with fellow mental ward patient Carter Chong (Ken Leung), a young Asian with serious anger management problems.
During one of their conversations, Chong recalled how his demanding father asked him where the other four points were after he came home with a 96 on his report card. He then pointedly cursed both his father and the memory.
Chong's mother later visited, telling her son, "Now apparently you are becoming a bully." He instantly despised her for saying that.
His feelings of rejection continued to boil close to the surface, although Chong enjoyed the company of the old gangland heavyweight. It also excited him when Uncle Junior retaliated against another patient by kneeing him in the groin.
"Get him! Get him!" Chong urged.
One couldn't help but draw parallels to Cho Seung-Hui, the now infamous mass murderer whose posthumous "multimedia manifesto" seethed with hatred. Would Chong also go berserk?
He eventually did, but only to the point of physically attacking Uncle Junior after feeling betrayed by him. Until that time it had gotten very unsettling. Very unsettling indeed.

Sorry I missed you. That reminds me...(see email).
But you're in a ghetto there, like the SF Book Fair. I know liberals who consider the NY Times conservative.
Yeah, I know. And they control the film industry, music, books, most other media, pop culture on the coasts, and academia.
Yet they're very angry that "no one represents their viewpoint."
Sounds like a good time nonetheless. I think though it is wise to pick our battles and getting the snot beaten out of you by some buck-toothed peace-lovin' hippy on meth sitting behind you may not have been the best one in which to go down in a blaze of glory, which you probably knew on some level. We must be strategic in our selection of glorious martyrdom :p
the fact that you do stand out among the lefties is what leads them to believe that everyone is left, and that left is the usual "state of nature." then, they are not only surprised but find it difficult to accept either emotionally or logically when right ascends.

Psychological torture, including some of the techniques reportedly used on Guantanamo Bay detainees, appears to inflict the same kind of long-term mental damage as physical abuse, a study released Monday said.
Researchers who evaluated the mental health of soldiers and civilians tortured during the 1990s Balkan wars found that victims of psychological abuse were just as likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression as victims of classic physical torture methods.
The researchers also reported that the torture victims rated some techniques such as stress positions, isolation, sleep deprivation and blindfolding as distressing as most physical torture methods.
"Ill treatment during captivity, such as psychological manipulations, humiliating treatment, and forced stress positions, does not seem to be substantially different from physical torture in terms of the severity of mental suffering they cause," the study's authors wrote.
"Thus, these procedures do amount to torture, thereby lending support to their prohibition by international law," they wrote in the journal of the Archives of General Psychiatry.
The investigators said their findings undermine moves by the US government to narrow its definition of torture in order to free interrogators to use certain psychological methods aimed at breaking a prisoner's resistance.

Photos by Terry Carr (TC), Glen Bodie (GB), Brian Avent (BA), Chris McVittie (CMcV), David Hoar (DH) & Roger Meyer (RM).
More photos at our DNCB Flickr site
Thirteen DNCBers enjoyed a surprisingly almost-rainfree and birdy Wednesday morning wandering through a few parks in Ladner. Enjoy the close-up-and-personal photos on our Flickr website at: www.flickr.com/groups/dncb, then click the magnifying glass icon in the "Photo Pool" row, and add 2017-15 to "DNCB Photos" in the Search box at the top of the page.
Six guys met at Petra's at 7:30 am and car-pooled to our first destination Ladner Harbour Park. Roger Two drove Terry C, David H and Mike B, and Chris came with me in the Jeep. We arrived at the Park parking lot around 8:00 am where Roger M, Johnny Mac, sisters Pat & Maureen, Glen B and Richmond Brian were waiting and enjoying the Warblers singing in the trees (Time-challenged Margaretha came fashionably later to make the 13).
Roger took the Group Photo of us surrounding the Playground Slide, with the resident Pussy. Many Yellow-rumped Warblers (mostly Audubon's in this park) were flitting about and we got good looks as the leaves have not yet fully developed.
We also may have heard other species, Yellow, Wilson's, Orange-crowned and Common Yellowthroats, but couldn't actually spot any. Kinglets were there too and we recognized Ruby-crowned.
Lots of Bushtits around, some nesting and others collecting nest material. It was kind of a "nest day" for us as we not only saw a nice hanging Bushtit nest, but also a Northern Flicker expanding its nest cavity and an American Robin sitting on a nest under the picnic shelter.
We followed the Swenson trail, avoiding the many dog walkers, and were surprised by several Brown Creepers "creeping" up various tree trunks, some also collecting nesting material.
There was at least one Golden crowned Kinglet in the area of the creepers. Lots of Wrens singing too, both Pacific and Marsh. We walked out to the shoreline at a few spots and found the one Greater Yellowlegs. At the water's edge were Green-winged Teal, a couple of Buffleheads and American Wigeon and Mallards. A flock of about 20 Dunlin gave a nice fly-past. A few Hummers around, probably both Anna's and Rufous.
Downy Woodpeckers posed too. The park paths were easily traversed and the marsh area was packed down and dry (low tide) so we could access and get good views of the river that we normally don't get towards the Summer. It's a gorgeous area; Pat pointed out the "Lions" behind Cypress Mountain in the distance.
Continuing on to the infamous non-Lookout behind the off-leash dog park, more warblers, and lots of Swallows hawking insects.
We saw Tree, Violet-green and finally a few Barn Swallows. Probably other species too. Roger One snuck off on us and scared up the Wilson's Snipe. David saw the Snipe, but it was a fly-by view twice. By the time the rest of us found Roger, the Snipe was long gone.
But we did get great looks and photos of two Lincoln's Sparrows in a marsh bush. We clearly saw several Sparrow species this day, Song, Fox, Golden- and White-crowned as well. And brilliant Finches too, both House and American Goldfinches.
Before leaving Ladner Harbour Park, we wandered over to the adjacent provincial Wildlife Management Area but couldn't see any development of the new bridge and boardwalk that is apparently planned for this area.
Next stop was the park on Ferry Road where the stream crosses from the marsh, it may be called Earle Burnett Park. Anyhow, we went to the little bridge where Mike "jimmied" the gate so we could get through to view the many Wood Ducks in the creek.
This has been a good nesting area for Wood Ducks, however residents have told me that they are not successful because of predation from Racoons and Otters. We moved on to the next park, and followed the trail along the slough through the condos to Cove Links Golf Course. Lots of Warblers here too, interestingly more Myrtle than Audubon's Yellow-rumped. Roger regaled us here with his infamous historic feat of getting a "House Birdie" on the 4th hole of the Cove Links course; his errant tee shot bounced off a house roof onto the green.
It started to sprinkle (why not? It always rains on DNCB days) as we wandered back to Ferry Road. It was about 11:30 am and by "almost-democratic vote", we decided to abort a visit to South Arm Marsh Wildlife Park and go directly to Speed's Pub in Ladner for lunch.
Good decision, as twelve of us (including Jim K, a Drop-in from the Probus Candidates meeting) bonded nicely and had tasty dishes at very reasonable prices. I had Speed's Club Sandwich with a Veggy Soup, of course with a couple of delectable pints of Okanagan 1516 Beer, on Special which I always appreciate. It was another very pleasant DNCB outing, and I got home in time to rest before entertaining the grandkids while their parents took Dance Lessons.
Next Wednesday, April 26, we will have a special outing to Burnaby's Deer Lake Park where Nat Marion Shikaze will lead our adventure. We will leave Petra's at 7:30 am and meet Marion at the Royal Oak Road parking lot at 8:15 am. Note: accessible only heading north off Royal Oak, on right.
Check out our website for more outing info, and reports and photos.
Sunday, April 23; the Bird Walk and Fish Release at North Delta's Watershed Park, 11:30 am to 2:00 pm, and the Birds in Focus Photography Workshop at Cammidge House, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
As always, your comments are appreciated, and please tell me if these weekly missives are annoying and you want off my e-mail List. Cheers: Tom (finally enjoying a gorgeous sunny Friday)

'Big companies would buy the shares'
* You say voucher privatisation is 'spin' * 'Preposterous, laughable and crazy' * Motorists don't want 1500 a head...
'We already own the roads. Remember when road tax was called the 'road fund licence? We have paid for these roads a thousand times over.
'They're trying to sell us what we already own, and I'll bet they will still want road tax and fuel duty with VAT added to the excise duty a tax on a tax (the original tax being the larger part of the price of fuel already).
'It's yet another government scam! That is what we have come to expect from our corrupt politicians.'
John Bisbrooke
'Do people actually get paid for producing such bizarre nonsense such as this?
'Drivers already 'own' this country's roads, having paid for them many times over. All but 8 billion of the 52 billion paid annually by drivers goes into the pot for health, education, policing, social services and so on for the benefit of the whole population.
'This foundation should put its efforts into ideas to reduce costs in all these services, so that more of the taxes paid by drivers can go towards the cost of desperately needed new and improved roads, without which our whole economy will continue to suffer.'
Bernard Brewer
'What nonsense! We already own the roads, paid for many times over by road tax. The government (mis)manage the road network on our behalf, they don't own it. This is an attempt to sell us what we already own.
'The shares would then be bought up by big companies (how many of the shares from Thatcher's privatisations are still in the hands of small investors and how many have gone to big banks and multi-millionaires?) who would then be able to charge us whatever they like, knowing we had no alternative. Forget 10p a mile - how about 2.50?
'Hopefully, this will never happen, and if it does then hopefully public anger will be such that they'll elect a government which will take the roads back into public ownership without compensation.'

$887,000 to Quit Smoking!
It's not reward, but fact that one Russian billionaire splashed out to help his girlfriend to give up smoking. He gifted her a diamond studded e-cigarette. This world's most expensive healthy alternative to tobacco smoking comes from the UK company, Shisha Sticks.
With its 46 yellow Swarovski crystals a six-carat oval diamond, 246 other diamonds, and a 24-carat gold button and clearomizer base, it more looks like piece of jewelry. Other luxury features of the piece is authentic Italian hand blown glass from Murano. The device – Shisha Sticks Sofia was manufactured on the personal order of a London-based Russian oil magnate. It took over four months to design and create.
Anthony Mixides from Shisha Sticks claims: "This was a dream brief for us. We were asked to design the ultimate shisha vaping device for class, style and luxury. We were told that, within reason, money was no object on the project. Once the design was approved we set about sourcing the finest diamonds, yellow crystals, glass and gold available."

Huang, W. Costa, M. M. Secombes, Christopher J. Fish gC cytokines gC receptors Expression Modulation 15 páginas, 7 tablas, 1 figura Themammalian gamma-chain (gC) cytokine family consists of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21. They signal through a receptor complex containing the common gC and a private alpha chain, and in the case of IL-2 and IL-15 an additional common IL-2/15Rb chain. Deficiency of gC signalling inmammals prevents CD4þ T cells from developing effector functions and CD8þ T cells from developing immunological memory. Thus gC cytokines are critical for the generation and peripheral homeostasis of naïve and memory T cells. This review will give an update on the gC ligands and receptor subunits in fish, and also present some new data on the cloning and expression of a second gC and two IL-2Rb chains in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. In recent years, aided by the availability of sequenced fish genomes and expressed sequence tag databases, five of the six mammalian gC cytokines and their cognate receptors have been discovered in fish, with only the IL-9/IL-9R homologues apparently absent. Paralogues have been discovered in diploid fish and all the receptors described in the tetraploid rainbowtrout, including gC itself, IL-2Rb, IL-4Ra, IL-13Ra1, IL-13Ra2 and IL-2/15Ra, have duplicates. As a consequence of the teleost and salmonid whole genome duplications, even more paralogues may yet be discovered. Some of the paralogues have changes in domain structures and show differential expression and modulation, suggesting the potential for a change in function. Functional characterisation of fish gC cytokines is beginning butmademore difficult by the co-existence of somany paralogues of the ligands and their receptors. Initial functional studies have shown that fish gC cytokines can modulate the expression of key cytokines (e.g. interferon-g, IL-10 and IL-22) of the adaptive immune response, andmay thus have promise as adjuvants to improve vaccination efficiency in fish. 2012-08-01T08:29:36Z 2012-08-01T08:29:36Z 2011 artículo Fish and Shellfish Immunology 31(5): 673-687 (2011) 1050-4648 http://hdl.handle.net/10261/54301 10.1016/j.fsi.2011.05.016 eng http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fsi.2011.05.016 closedAccess Elsevier

Two Saudi tankers among vessels attacked near Fujairah
Two Saudi oil tankers were among vessels targeted by a "sabotage attack" off the coast of Fujairah in the UAE, Saudi Arabia has said.
Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources Minister Khalid Al-Falih also confirmed that at 6am yesterday (May 12), two Saudi oil tankers were subjected to a sabotage attack in the exclusive economic zone of the UAE, off the coast of Fujairah, while on their way to cross into the Arabian Gulf, said a Saudi Press Agency report.
One of the two vessels was on its way to be loaded with Saudi crude oil from the port of Ras Tanura, to be delivered to Saudi Aramco's customers in the US. Fortunately, the attack didn't lead to any casualties or oil spill; however, it caused significant damage to the structures of the two vessels, he was quoted as saying.
The minister denounced this attack that aims to undermine the freedom of maritime navigation, and the security of oil supplies to consumers all over the world, the report said.
The Saudi minister also emphasised the joint responsibility of the international community to protect the safety of maritime navigation and the security of oil tankers, to mitigate against the adverse consequences of such incidents on energy markets, and the danger they pose to the global economy, it said.
An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed Saudi Arabia's condemnation of the acts of sabotage that targeted commercial and civilian vessels near the UAE territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman, towards the eastern coast near the Emirate of Fujairah and in the exclusive economic zone of the UAE, said a Saudi Press Agency report.
The source stressed that this criminal act poses a serious threat to the security and safety of maritime navigation, which reflects negatively on regional and international peace and security. It stressed the solidarity of Saudi Arabia with the UAE in all measures being taken to safeguard its security and interests.
The UAE had yesterday said that four commercial vessels were sabotaged near Fujairah emirate, one of the world's largest bunkering hubs lying just outside the Strait of Hormuz. It did not say who was behind the operation, which took place amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry called the incidents "worrisome and dreadful" and asked for an investigation into the matter.
The strait, a vital global oil and gas shipping route, separates the Gulf states and Iran, which has been embroiled in an escalating war of words with the United States over sanctions and the US military's presence in the region.

Relationships are built on open and honest communication. When that key factor is missing, it is hard to create a healthy bond with your child. Making it crucial to ask your children questions that encourage them to open up to you about their thoughts and feelings.
Your son or daughter are going to go through a lot of changes as he or she grows up. With that comes certain challenges, but there is nothing more rewarding than parenthood. If you are feeling discouraged with the current relationship you have with one or all of your children, you are not alone! In fact, communication is one of the most common family therapy issues for which many parents seek help. With the right tools and resources on your side, you can make an honest effort towards creating a healthy, long-lasting bond with each child in your family.
Encouraging Conversation with Your Child
A lot of parents try to open a dialogue with their child by asking about his or her school day. If you just ask how their day went, you might get a one-word answer. To encourage your child to share more details, try to get specific with your questions. The following are a few ways you can ask about their day without asking the generic question, "so how was school today?":
- What made you laugh today?
- Who do you like to sit by in class? Why?
- Tell me about something you learned today.
- What do you think you should do less of at school?
- What was your favorite part about recess?
If you would like to gather some more ideas for encouraging conversation, you can search the internet for a long list of questions to ask your kids. You can also work with your partner to brainstorm questions that focus on your child's specific interests or characteristics you are trying to instill in your child. For example, you could ask if they did something kind for another student or if they helped hold the door open for another person.
Seeking Outside Help
You can show up to the dinner table with an armory of questions in an attempt to get your child to open up about their day, but sometimes that is not enough. In these cases, many families find it beneficial to seek outside help through therapy. If you are wondering, "what is family therapy and how does it help," you have come to the right place. Simply put, it is a specialized type of counseling that focuses on issues involving family function. At a typical family therapy session, a therapist treats the family as a whole while helping each member develop their own healthy coping mechanisms for an overall stable home environment.
To find out more about how family counseling in Little Rock, AR could help you and your family, do not hesitate to reach out to the Arkansas Relationship Counseling Center.

The online providers disrupting the market
Private digital firms are posing a threat to traditional general practice. Nicola Merrifield reports
In 2016, the Dr Jefferies and Partners practice in west London was an unremarkable practice. It had a patient list size of around 16,000, nine GPs and a CQC rating of 'good'.
It has now become the symbol of a fundamental shift in general practice. Its patient list exceeds 44,000, it has forced its CCG to borrow money from neighbours just to afford its global sum and NHS England has proposed changes to the GMS contract in response to its business model.
The reason for this sea-change? The practice hosts the new GP at Hand online service in partnership with private provider Babylon. It offers patients across London the chance to 'see an NHS GP for free 24/7' and a video consultation usually within two hours. It also promises in-person appointments 'the same or next day' from Monday to Saturday. It is using rules that allow practices to register patients from outside their area, with no obligation to provide home visits.
And patients have been flocking to it. For many – including, importantly, the new health secretary – it seems like a great use of innovation, and the direction general practice should be moving in.
The emergence of Babylon is part of a wider trend. There are now 37 private providers registered with the CQC to provide online consultations in England. In Wales, regulators have received five enquiries in the past year from online GP providers wanting to register, and Scotland is currently registering its first online primary care providers.
Some of these are now looking to access the NHS funding on offer by partnering with NHS practices to give younger, fitter patients services they can't get from their bricks-and-mortar practices.
Others are using apps to make private consultations more convenient for patients and attracting NHS GPs to work for them. They are using major advertising campaigns and comparing themselves with consumer brands. It seems genuine market competition could now exist in general practice.
But, for many, this is a worrying development. Although some patients might enjoy the benefits of a speedy service, GP leaders say this is a threat to traditional practices and has the potential to harm vulnerable patients.
Two-tier general practice
East London GP and deputy chair of Doctors in Unite Dr Jackie Applebee has been leading the protests against GP at Hand. She says the trend towards online services has serious ramifications for general practice. 'There will be an increase in patients moving around… there is cherry-picking of younger, fitter patients – on whom we rely. Some practices could go under, because they are losing these patients.
'This could mean two-tier general practice. General practice for the internet-savvy – and general practice for those who are less able to use the apps, or who are sicker and need a different level of care.'
As RCGP chair Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard put it, GP at Hand is 'disruptive innovation at its most disruptive'.
Most of these online providers started by offering their apps at a cost to patients, either charging a fee for video consultations or providing convenient appointments booked through an app, with patients retaining their registration with their usual practice.
But over the past year, many have been targeting partnerships with NHS practices. Push Doctor – a private service that currently offers video consultations with GPs 'in minutes' for £20 each – is in talks with Birmingham-based superpractice Modality about offering its service to patients for free in order to attract NHS patients.
Online triage and consultation tool eConsult is being rolled out across numerous practices after it was trialled in the capital. The Hurley Group, which developed the tool, has said its own NHS superpractice in London plans to see patients face to face only when necessary in the future.
And Now Healthcare Group is offering its app-based video consultation technology to practices for free, in a bid to reach more patients to whom it can advertise its repeat prescription delivery service.
Meanwhile, Babylon is looking to expand. Medical director Dr Mobasher Butt tells Pulse 'tens of practices' are interested in partnering to offer GP at Hand. Importantly, it seems this model of general practice has the backing of NHS England, which has set out requirements to ensure safety.
But suspicions have been raised about whether GP at Hand has had behind-the-scenes support, after NHS England chair Professor Sir Malcolm Grant said the service was an experiment 'we have been conducting in London'. NHS England has denied this, saying it has only been involved in commissioning and assessing the service.
Support for technology from new health secretary
In any case, GP at Hand has another influential cheerleader. New health secretary Matt Hancock – previously the digital, culture, media and sport secretary – is signed up and has reportedly claimed it to be 'brilliant'.
Such developments are concerning, says Dr David Mummery, joint-chair of Hammersmith and Fulham LMC, where Dr Jefferies and Partners is based.
He says: 'There wasn't much of a warning. GP at Hand was a bit of a bolt from the blue.
'It was full-on and quite aggressive advertising. Posters when you got off the tube at West Brompton, things on the underground. It was clever marketing.
'It created a lot of anxiety for GPs as to whether all their healthy patients would be attracted to GP at Hand.'
The Drum, a website for the advertising and marketing industries, said Babylon's media agency PHD Media looked at which of the capital's boroughs outside west London would be best to target 20- to 39-year-olds – it chose Hackney and Southwark.
Crucially, GP at Hand advises certain patients to 'discuss' whether it may be 'appropriate' to register with 'a practice closer to home'. These include pregnant women and patients with learning difficulties, drug dependency, complex mental health conditions, frailty or dementia. It says this advice followed discussions with NHS England.
Practices in London are already feeling the effects of this disruption. One said it was losing an average of 10 patients a week to GP at Hand and that the practice's growth had slowed considerably in the past year (see further below).
Just as importantly, the flock of patients registering with the service is playing havoc with CCG funding (see graphic directlybelow).
babylon effect on general practice
Increasing numbers of staff working for private providers
On top of this, the online providers are luring GPs to work for them at a time when most practices are struggling to recruit. NHS practices are finding it hard to compete with private providers that offer incentives, flexible working and even the option to work from home.
Babylon says it has more than 200 GPs on its books. Push Doctor launched in 2015 with 7,000 GPs providing private consultations, Doctaly works with 70 NHS GPs and nine private GPs – up from 40 GPs at the end of 2017 – across 49 practices in eight areas of England and two in Scotland. Now Healthcare Group's Now GP app has 'access to hundreds of NHS GPs' across the UK for its paid consultations.
Dr Applebee underlines that this activity is far from helpful in a recruitment crisis: 'There's no two ways about it – if GPs are not working in traditional general practice and are working for an online provider, that is creaming off staff.'
Babylon is bullish about its offering, saying competition already exists and there is nothing to stop other practices offering online services.
Dr Butt says: 'It's an even playing field. Any practice is able to think of innovative ways to provide care and there's nothing about the launch of GP at Hand that precludes anyone else from forming similar innovative solutions.'
But BMA Council deputy chair Dr David Wrigley disagrees: 'Most practices struggle to offer basic GMS care at the moment due to gross underfunding and lack of staff, so it is unfair that companies who seek funding from city financiers set up services to compete with surgeries. That's not a level playing field.'
Babylon hasn't had it all its own way though. NHS Birmingham and Solihull CCG has objected to it expanding to the second city, while the changes proposed to the GP contract by NHS England to distribute funding more fairly between 'digital first' practices and the rest could see a slight reduction in funding for Dr Jefferies and the like.
However, in England, regardless of any stumbling blocks facing online providers at the moment, the long-term direction of travel is clearly towards 'digital-first' practices, where patients access their GP online before face to face.
As NHS England itself says in its consultation document on the contract reforms: 'We know that by the end of the next decade digital technology is likely to have transformed general practice.'
For Hammersmith and Fulham GP Dr Mummery, 'it's pretty likely' others will follow the GP at Hand model: 'Most people think this horse has bolted. It's a game changer.'
'We're losing young, healthy patients'
dr gary marlowe
The De Beauvoir Surgery in east London was previously seeing 1,500 patients join its list each year – but in the past 12 months just 200 have registered, according to its principle GP Dr Gary Marlowe.
He said the practice list mainly comprises younger patients, who attract less funding. But the healthier ones are signing up with GP at Hand.
Dr Marlowe said: 'We are already quite affected financially because the majority of our patients are between the ages of 20 and 40. They are often in highly stressed jobs in the City and can take up a huge amount of time and appointments for mental health issues and work-related stress.
'But because of their age and their conditions, they don't carry a QOF code, which means our prevalence for heart failure, COPD and so on is really low, which affects our income.
'The patients we are losing are our really young, healthy patients who maybe contact us once a year… that allow us to see the other patients who are coming in to consult once a week.'
Readers' comments (8)
(1) '.....the changes proposed to the GP contract by NHS England to distribute funding more fairly between 'digital first' practices and the rest could see a slight reduction in funding for Dr Jefferies and the like.'
As I wrote before , stop 'cherry-picking' by simply giving peanuts for them to pick instead , especially if the provider insists on exclusion criteria.
(2) In a way , the healthy secretary is indirectly aggravating a disparity in funding for different practices creating clear 'winners' and 'losers'. We already have dispute over practices in affluent vs deprived areas in the funding formula. We certainly do not need more inequalities to exist .
(3) As a result, the provider is more capable to offer lucrative working conditions to our younger colleagues whom nobody should blame for pursuing a better work-life balance and quality.
(4) As far as moral issue is concerned, these smartphone apps are widening an inter-generational conflict . Yes , one can argue the traditional GP model is more favouring the older and more debilitated cohorts of the population . Now this one is for younger , fitter patients. I think our country is already divided enough because of arguments on Brexit.
(5) Sarah Wollaston, you need to produce a statement.
I was very bored and looked at the recent CQC / Babylon emails around their CQC report.
The very interesting stuff is around number of prescriptions issued and also appointment counts. The PR is brilliant but the raw numbers simply do not suggest a massive 'disruption' in the next 5 years.
Is there a market? No, there isn't. There is a corrupt NHSE which has decided to siphon off money from the NHS to Private providers creating parallel economies but favouring the private providers with more money for the same work and leaving the basic system crumbling.
Funds from NHS for primary care services should not be given to private providers.
If the Tories wish to have a parallel private NHS, they should look for funding from central resources. How do you compare a £20 per patient for a visit with an eat all for £85 per year?
Babylon and all the private services looking to skim off money from the NHS - need to be reported to the GMC for effectively breaking the requirement to do no harm.
If the RCGP criteria of community orientation is look at - they are harming the overall health economy and directly causing harm to patients at neighbouring practices - as they steal valuable resources which in turn will reduce the ability to recruit and keep staff who may also be poached off.
BMA report them and help your members by protecting them from this DOH led and supported policy - as the GMC can for once show itself to be protecting patients and supporting doctors.

Hello, Anglers and outdoors lovers. I'm seeing a lot of work being done on deer leases in the area with trailers hauling a bunch of ATVs instead of boats. Even though the daytime temps don't show it currently, fall is not far away and full-out hunting season is close. There is a cool front on the way, according to long term forecasts which will also bring even more teal down into our area for our duck hunters. By this time next week, we should see a moderate change in our weather. I'm for that!

I told you I really wanted to build a new keyboard when I finished the previous one. Well here I am again, but with a different build in mind this time. First, I'm going for a smaller size. Second, I'm taking parts from different places (well, 2 different sellers…). Third, the RGB underglow is gonna be useful this time. Let's dive in.
Wanting to build another keyboard is cool, but there's no point in building one that I already own, so let's find something new.
What do I want exactly?
Well, first, I wanted to try a smaller yet "complete" layout. I've seen a few 75% before and I was always interested by them, I wanted to try it out. It's smaller than a TKL, yet it has almost all the keys. The layout on KLE.
The second thing I wanted is full firmware customization. The XD87 is fully customizable, but its firmware is based on TMK (an open source keyboard firmware library, see also TMK keyboard firmware collection) which is kind of old and not easy to dive in. However, as I explained in that blog article, there's a nice tool that helps you configure your layout. I wanted at least the same level of customization, more if possible. "More"? Yes, QMK is another open source keyboard firmware library that is easier to use and customize (well, from a developer point of view) and allow for more functionality. A QMK-compatible PCB would be perfect.
Lastly, RGB… Yeah, yeah, I know, lame "gaming" fashion. But wait, did you ever see RGB underglow with a full acrylic case?
I really like that look, way better than those gaming RGB keyboards from Logitech or Corsair. And if I can customize it exactly how I want it, hell yeah!
So, let's recap: 75% layout, QMK firmware, RGB underglow, acrylic case. Now we can start searching.
Finding the parts
And searching didn't take very long, as the choices out there are very limited. 75% isn't very popular, so of course, there's not a lot of options available. Luckily though, AliExpress offers all I need!
I found a few 75% PCBs:
- YMDK 84 kit has underglow, has QMK but not supported officially (official customization is via bootmapper).
- XD84 (from the same seller as the XD87, kprepublic). It's running a TKG firmware officially, but people ported it to QMK. And it has underglow.
- KBD75, from KBDFans. Runs QMK officially, has underglow. It is available in a v1 and v2, although the v2 layout is… weird?
So not that bad! Now, onto the case.
Well this was quick. Only one available.
YMDK is the only seller offering such case, and it's compatible with the YMDK PCB (of course) and the KBD75 one. As the KBD75 has official QMK support I went for that PCB. Might not have been the smartest choice, as it's quite more expensive… But at least I knew QMK would run perfectly on it. The downside of community-made things is that sometimes, it just doesn't work 100%. Stabs and plate are included with the PCB. Not the best stabs, but that way enough for me.
Switches… I really wanted to try some fancy linear switches like Tealios, Healios or vintage blacks but I'm having a hard time to justify their prices, especially as I find Gateron linear switches quite good already. So I went for Gateron again, but black this time.
Their actuation force is higher, meaning you need to push harder on the switch, 45g for the reds, 50g for the blacks. Maybe some day, I'll bite the bullet and buy fancy switches… The good news is that I was able to get a pack with the PCB and all and switches, saving shipping costs and a bit of money as well on the switches.
Well, not this time, or not yet. I have already keycaps sets at home (yeah… not sure if that's a good sign) so I'll just use the ones I have. For now. 😉
Everything is ordered. Now, we wait.
And while we wait, why not go and read QMK documentation. It's long and might be hard to understand, but I have at least 2 weeks ahead of me before my orders arrive. I've learned a bit of C in the past, it shouldn't be that hard to get to it.
