One of our mistakes as Christians is to believe that we, you and I, are in control and that we should have the ultimate decision as to who we are, what we do, where we live, and how we live. Not really what James 4.13-15 says however.
And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, "Today – at the latest, tomorrow – we're off to such and such a city for the year. We're going to start a business and make a lot of money." You don't know the first thing about tomorrow. You're nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing. Instead, make it a habit to say, "If the Master wills it and we're still alive, we'll do this or that."
According to St Augustine, this mistake comes out of one sin which can lead to all other sin, namely pride. CS Lewis describes the process of this as "a creature trying to set up on its own and exist for itself" (my paraphrase). This pride has the effect of causing rebellion, resistance, unwillingness, and ultimately opposition to God.
So our constant choice is do we seek God, and by inference, God's will as stated in the Bible, or do we seek self; do we seek our Creator, or do we seek the created.
Left to our own devices, we will choose whatever has the strongest pull on us, but God loves us and wants the best for us. If you need reminding of this wonderful truth, check out Eph 1. 3-6
How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He's the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
Romans 8.26-30 tells us that God's desire for our good means he doesn't leave us to cope alone.
26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
29-30 God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.
Because of His great love for us, we want to love God, to be like Jesus and to minister like Jesus even when we don't feel like it. But each day is a challenge to lay down our pride, rebellion, self-seeking, self-will and to seek the Father, to constantly turn to Him every moment of the day. Some days we will do better than others. As CS Lewis says we about to, are, or are repenting of turning away from God all the time.
And within that general will for us, God has a specific requirement for each one of us. Because we are unique, individual, and special, God has specific and personal things for each one of us to do, everyday. He has bought each one of our lives, so he owns our relationships, responsibilities, locations, abilities, and time. We therefore each have our own personal responsibility before God to be willing to allow Him to make us what He wants us to be, and put us where He wants to put us each day of our lives. Our job is simple. Each morning, we give Him our day, ask for guidance in what we have to do, and determine to turn back to Him whenever we realise we have turned away. This is the process of salvation changing us and making us more like our Friend and Master, little by little.

From the stylists/photographers Britney & Marlayna: This shoot was born from our love of the locally grown and intimate Baltimore wedding. Keeping the day cozy with the guest list doesn't have to mean going small on gorgeous details and amazing food. Even better is getting to treat your adoring guests to a sweet and sustainable celebration, which shows off the best of the area. Our inspiration for the shoot was a wedding that felt attainable and beautiful.
Many of the vendors on this styled shoot team are already focusing on using locally grown goods, especially La Cuchara, which served as our venue, and Local Color Flowers. La Cuchara, a Basque-inspired restaurant makes it their priority to use ingredients from nearby farms or farmer's markets. They create delicious dishes including our shoot's family style meal of whole roasted chicken from Zahradka Farm, which filled the space with the scent of fresh herbs and charred local spring onions. (You can check out the full menu from the shoot below.)
Local Color Flowers uses flowers and foliage sourced locally from farms within 100 miles of Baltimore. For the shoot, they created beautiful centerpieces with deep fall hues and lined the table with planted herbs in repurposed containers. From the floral to the meal, the room not only looked gorgeous, but also was deliciously aromatic. For the ceremony, a floral frame was constructed, with flowers and greens weaved through the patterned wall on La Cuchara's patio. The addition of the arch transformed the outdoor dining space, balancing the edgy modern and industrial materials with lush organics.
Inspiration can be found anywhere. La Cuchara's grid wall sparked the stunning, metallic, hand-painted liners and copper calligraphy in the invitation suite from Candace Cage Design. The invitation and RSVP cards gave a nod to the lattice designs on the restaurant's plates, and are printed on an environmentally responsible, recovered fiber.
Jennifer Dawes is the designer behind the gorgeous engagement ring and band from St. John's Jewelers in Ellicott City. She creates each piece by hand, for those wanting non-destructive, sustainable and conscientious jewelry. For brides wanting a simple elegant and more modern gown, we loved reaching out to Bella Bridesmaids shop for a sleek and timeless After Six gown. This more modern detail is again balanced by softer touches like a low and loose up do and natural warm beauty tones by Caitlyn Meyer.
For couples wanting to incorporate some personal DIY touches, you can check out the tutorial we used for our concrete candleholders here. This is a fun and simple project that adds raw industrial touches to the tables, and is something that couples can enjoy doing together. Couples can even learn the steps to creating their own pressed flower guestbook like the one in our shoot, during a workshop with UpDown Bindery and Local Color Flowers later this fall!
La Cuchara Locally Grown Styled Shoot Menu:
Pintxo and charcuterie plates: Valdeon cheese with champagne grapes; Manchego with Marcona almonds; Gildas, marinated white anchovies with piquillo peppers and queen's olives; and Morcilla, blood sausage with fried quail eggs and strawberry Dijon.
Entrée plates: Zahradka Farm whole roasted chicken with fresh herbs and charred local spring onions and grilled eggplant.
Dessert: Cinnamon churros, annatto, black pepper, warm chocolate sauce and a two-tiered French Vanilla cake with raspberry and lemon curd filling and American buttercream.

Sony Xperia Z5 has shiny and impressive looks outside, but does it carry the same inside? To find out you would need a Xperia Z5 teardown. But wait for a moment; before you dare tearing down your Xperia Z5 here we bring some pictures for you from iFixit, which has built its reputation in this regards. The tear down pictures show the different parts of the Sony flagship laying on table for you. If you find it that much fascinating inside, then you can go ahead with your own Xperia Z5 but at your own risk.
The process of teardown is quite common as we have seen many other devices that met the same treatment. First we have the SIM card tray removed from the slot, this task looks simple. Now in next, to soften the adhesive the device's back cover is heated up. After that a suction cup with the help of metal tool makes the cover of Z5 cracking apart.
As we have seen in previous Sony devices each and every part is packed neatly. The arrangement of parts is impressive inside the assembly. Thus placing parts after they were removed for any reason seem a bit easy job. Here you will find many parts visible on first look while some other tiny areas need a little finding.
Among the areas that we can point out in first look include the heat pipes. The two copper pipes actually work as heat sink and cool down components that heat up easily. With these heating pipes, your devices remains cool through hard jobs like making 4K video recording.
Though you may not find many tiny parts out of the pics but they are really present there. What you should assume to be there include Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset and a 3GB RAM. There is also a 23megapixel camera on rear and 2900mAh battery that you should not have any trouble finding on your Xperia Z5.
You can learn the Sony Xperia Z5 teardown at iFixit official in very simple steps.

Carly Roberts Corinthos Jacks AKA Caroline Benson
Played by Sarah Brown/Tamara Braun/Jennifer Bransford/Laura Wright
Carly came to town in 1996 (then played by Sarah Brown) to track down her
birth mother, Bobbie. Carly was pretty screwed-up. She had a loving mother in
Florida where she grew up, but growing up without a father and finding out she
was adopted left her with scars and an empty emotional void. It didn't help that
her best friend, Carly, died in a car accident and she blamed herself for that.
Born Caroline Benson, Carly decided to take her friend's name, Carly Roberts,
and head to Port Charles.
We didn't know all of this about Carly when she first arrived, however. We knew
she was up to something, but we didn't know what. She got a job at General
Hospital and seemed to be studying to be a nurse, which put her close to her
mother, Bobbie. The two did not get along well and Carly seemed to be a lazy
We soon came to find out that Carly was pretty good at two things: lying and
messing up her own life. First Carly decided to seduce her step-father, Tony
Jones (Bobbie's husband). Tony and Bobbie were having marital problems, and they
still did not know that Carly was Bobbie's daughter. Tony was having a mid-life
crisis, and he fell for Carly. The two were engaged to marry and moved in
together. Tony even wrote a song for her and played it on his guitar. But Carly
had other plans...
After spilling the beans to Bobbie about being her daughter and then rubbing her
nose in the fact that she had stolen her husband, Carly kept treating Bobbie
like dirt and refusing to have anything to do with her. She and her new uncle
Luke did not get along well, either.
One night while drunk, and angry at Tony, Carly went to the pool hall Jake's and
slept with a total stranger, A.J. Quartermaine. A.J. didn't even remember their
night together because he was so drunk himself. Later, she also slept with
another handsome stranger, Jason Morgan (A.J.'s brother). Carly got pregnant and
wasn't sure which of the three men was the father!
Carly soon learned that she couldn't stand A.J. and that she was through with
Tony, so she wanted the baby to be Jason's. She found out it was A.J.'s and knew
that if he found that out, he would try to take the baby from her (since he
comes from the wealthy and powerful Quartermaine family). She switched some
paternity tests to make it seem like it was Jason's baby. Tony was devastated to
find out that it wasn't his. A.J. was completely clueless to the whole thing
because of her lying about the blood type.
Jason found out the truth but had sworn not to break Carly's confidence. He knew
that A.J. was not a fit parent, anyway, and that the Quartermaines would try to
take the child. Carly kept trying to get Jason to love her, but his heart was
already taken by Robin. Eventually, Robin found out the truth and told A.J. that
little Michael was his.
In the meantime, impending mother seemed to soften Carly, so she made up with
Bobbie. Unfortunately, her adopted mother Virginia died about the same time
while visiting Port Charles. After Carly had her baby, she was struck by
post-partum depression and refused to touch her baby. She then fled town,
leaving the baby in Jason's care.
After Carly returned, now played by Tamara Braun, a long custody battle with A.J.
ensued. At one point, Carly came up with the plan to marry A.J. in order to get
custody, or his money, or something like that...the story kept changing. Jason
was in on the plan but kept telling her it was a bad idea, like most of her
plans. She and A.J. did marry and for a time they actually seemed like they
might be in love, but things did not work out, due to both of them being so
When Sonny returned to Port Charles after an absence, he and Carly did not get
along at all. Sonny values honest above all else and Carly was a manipulative
liar. They were constantly forced into each other's company because of their
mutual friendship for Jason. At one point, they had a huge fight and the passion
of the fight ended up in a different kind of passion. They instantly regretted
their impulsive display. Jason and Carly had been working on a relationship at
that point, so it was a betrayal to him. Jason left town, upset with them both.
Carly got pregnant after her one-night-stand, and she and Sonny slowly seemed to
get along better. She went to confront A.J. At one point, they got into an
argument at the top of the stairs. A.J. was drunk, and she was baiting him. They
were both pushing each other's buttons. He went to grab her and she fell
backwards, down the stairs. She lost Sonny's baby.
At one point she also shot Tony Jones, almost shot A.J., and was in a mental
After that, she and Sonny had a lot of grieving to go through, but it seemed to
bring them closer together. It took them a long long time before they admitted
they loved each other. They only got married so that she couldn't testify
against him in court (I forget why), but at that point they already loved each
other (even though they couldn't admit it). Eventually they admitted their
In the meantime, Sonny kidnapped A.J. and made him sign a paper that gave Carly
full custody of Michael. He then adopted Michael as his own son.
The couple have had a rocky road. Carly kept trying to get pregnant and tried
not to lie to Sonny. She and Sonny keep arguing and fighting. She got scared by
Sonny's dangerous lifestyle, so she came up with a stupid idea to force him to
give information to the FBI so that they would have to go into the witness
protection program (it didn't make much sense then, either). To Sonny this was
the ultimate betrayal, especially after what happened with Brenda, his former
fiancée who had done almost the same thing. They separated for a long time and
came very close to divorce. Sonny grew closer to his attorney, Alexis, and Carly
grew to be good friends with Zander and also Jax, who backed her new nightclub.
Sonny even had a one-night-stand with Alexis, which Carly inadvertently walked
in on. She was upset and ended up sending her car over a cliff. They thought she
was dead, so she let them think that for a few days, to punish Sonny.
Eventually, the two almost divorced but decided they loved each other too much
to go through with it. Their marriage seemed fairly solid but several things
threatened it, such as Brenda's return and Alexis' baby, which Carly and Sonny
don't know was his. Carly is very insecure and probably always will be, so these
things usually cause her to freak out and so something stupid again.
Carly has grown a lot since she came to town. While she still has these impulses
to lie and cause pain for herself and others, she generally ignores them now.
She has learned from her mistakes. But what keeps her interesting is that we
know she has that little voice in her head that wants to go back to being the
bad old Carly. She is always drawn back to Sonny. She depends on both Sonny and
Jason's friendship and counsel.
Carly got pregnant with Sonny's son, Morgan, but his brother Ric kidnapped
her and kept her in his house's panic room. He intended to kill her and steal
her baby so that he and his wife, Elizabeth, could raise it on their own.
Lorenzo Alcazar rescued Carly and they fell in love. He helped deliver her baby.
Unfortunately, Sonny thought that Lorenzo was hurting her, so he shot at him,
hitting Carly in the head, so Carly was in a coma for a while after she gave
birth. Carly and Lorenzo were together for a while. Carly was played for a while
by Jennifer Bransford. She became mentally unstable, thanks to Faith's drugging
her, and she had to be committed. Lorenzo rescued her, but she was always drawn
back to Sonny, so she and Lorenzo eventually broke up.
Carly found her biological father, John Durant. He was a Federal prosecutor
but also became D.A. in the town for a while. He hated Sonny and wanted to bring
him down. He was a bit obsessed, though, and a little corrupt. He loved Carly
but was killed in a shoot-out. Carly's children were also kidnapped, which was a
horrible thing for her to go through.
In 2005, Laura Wright started playing Carly. She made the role her own. The
role seemed to be written much stronger with her playing Carly. Sometimes she
comes over like a harpy and seldom shows her softer side.
Carly had good instincts when she didn't trust Sonny's new girlfriend, Reese,
but no one listened to her. They just thought she was jealous. It turned out
that Carly had been seduced by Reese's father when she was a teenager, back in
Florida. This broke up Reese's happy family. Reese got into a terrible car
accident after talking to Carly, and her mother angrily told her father that
Reese was dead, so he killed himself. Carly once again had a mental breakdown.
Reese ended up dying in a terrible train crash.
Carly was briefly taking care of her dead friend Courtney's son, but it
turned out that the father was Nikolas, so he took custody of the boy, which
kind of broke Carly's heart. She and Jax bonded over the boy and fell in love.
It took a very long time, but they eventually were married. Their relationship
has always been rocky.
Carly fell back into bed with Sonny during a hostage crisis with Jax's
brother Jerry, and both realized it was a mistake. She told Jax the truth about
it, for once, and they finally got married.
Her son Michael was shot and went into a coma for over a year, and she blamed
Sonny. This was a really terrible time for Carly. She has always been a good
mother, above all else. Carly got pregnant with Jax' daughter, Josslyn. It was a
tough pregnancy, but Josslyn survived and was born. Carly had a bitter foe with
Sonny's wife Claudia. She turned out to be the one who shot Michael. She helped
Carly give birth to Josslyn and then tried to steal the baby, but Michael
stopped her by hitting her over the head. She died, and Michael went to prison.
Michael's coma, trying to get over it, and then going to prison, has all been
very difficult for Carly. She always worries about him and particularly wanted
to protect him from Sonny's life.
Josslyn got very sick from kidney cancer, so Carly had to beg Elizabeth,
Lucky and Jason to let Jake save her life. Jake had just been declared brain
dead after being run over by a car. He saved Josslyn, so Carly and Jax
were very grateful.
Carly is always running to Jason when she needs help. Even though she can be
exasperating, they are great friends. She is always jealous of Sonny and Jason's
relationships with other women. Carly doesn't generally get along with women,
but she has hit it off okay with Olivia. She and Jax owned the Metro Court Hotel
together but when he left town, he sold his part of it to Kate, knowing that it
would annoy Carly. Carly hates Robin, Sam, Elizabeth, and Kate especially.
Carly fought Jax for custody when they were breaking up. Sonny helped her by
destroying Jax and his reputation by planting drugs and other things. Jax
eventually gave up and left town. He tried to kidnap Josslyn but Shawn rescued
her. Sonny tried to kill Jax, but he survived. However, he's been out of town
ever since. It's been hard for Carly, who still loves him.
Carly was attracted to her bodyguard, Shawn, but they never acted on it. She
has been dating Johnny, Sonny's enemy, but he betrayed her by sleeping with

Suicide prevention
GEHA | September 14, 2019
Suicide affects people of all ages and is often preventable. While there is no single cause for suicidal behavior, there are several risk factors.
Some risk factors include:
- Depression, mental disorders or substance abuse disorder
- Access to firearms
- Serious or chronic medical conditions
- Prolonged stress
- Recent tragedy or loss
- Prior suicide attempt
- Family history of suicide
- A history of abuse or violence
- Gender. Men are four times more likely to die by suicide.
Many people have some of these risk factors but do not attempt suicide. A normal response to stress is not suicide. Suicidal thoughts or actions are a sign of extreme distress and should not be ignored.
Family and friends are often the first to recognize the warning signs of suicidal behavior. These warning signs include:
- Wanting to die
- Feeling empty, hopeless or having no reason to live
- Great guilt or shame
- Feeling trapped with no solutions
- Feeling unbearable emotional or physical pain
- Feeling of being a burden to others
- Increased use of alcohol or drugs
- Acting anxious or agitated, or extreme mood swings
- Withdrawing from family and friends
- Showing rage or seeking revenge
- Taking great risks that could lead to death
- Putting affairs in order
- Saying goodbye to family and friends

By Detlef Houdeau, Infineon Technologies.
Back in 1979 the International Civil Aviation Organisation, called ICAO, published the standard on Machine-Readable Passport (MRP). Passport booklets with this function need a Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) based on the typeface Optical Character Recognition (OCR-B). The phase out of all non-MRP was set for CY 2015. By springtime2006 ICAO has collected the first standard on electronic MRP, also named eMRP. Both "world standards" of travel documents have significant impacts on border control securityand processes. This article give an overview on both aspects, the border process and the travel documents round the globe, starting with the application view.
Border control security without any electronic equipment
With the movement of persons into other territories since the late 19th century, passport and visas are used to allow foreignersto enter, remain within, or to leave another territory. The first travel document captured handwritten text, a seal and stamps of government authorities. The border control process along such travel documents was a completely manual workflow. Border police or other public or private authorities inspected the travel documents at the sea, air or land border and verify the face photo in the travel document with the face of the traveler.
Over many years, some of the weak aspects of this manual workflow were published. For example, the travel document isoriginal and valid, but the traveler is not the same as the data inthe travel document (it is reported that Malaysia airline flight370 had two illegal travelers in the aircraft). Border police haveoverseen some minor differences between photo and the travelerface, where the travel documents showed some manipulation.
The only binding aspect between the travel document and the traveler is the face photo. This means many document frauds are based upon a manipulated face photo. To avoid such fraud, travel documents capture, as well as the face photo, a second hologram image of the photo, typically in smaller size. However, human behavior also plays a role; Border police can store typically upto 10 face photos of "wanted persons" in their mind. Computerscan verify the traveler face photo with many thousand photos in central databases in a very short time. Two examples of such databases are Schengen Information Systeme (SIS) in Europe and Visitor and Immigration Status Indication Technology (VISIT) in the US, with hundreds of millions of traveler data sets. To avoid this weaker aspect of border control security, ICAO has collectedand published the MRP-standard, as reflected in the next section.
Border control security with electronic document verification
With the roll out of MRPs, border police can use MRZ-inspection systems at the three borderlines – land (green), sea (blue) and air – in a 2-way inspection approach:
- The inspection system will read and verify the MRZ-line in the holder page with an optical scanner.
- The MRZ information represents all the data printed in thedata page of the booklet. The first symbol of the MRZ-line define the country that issued the travel document. The inspection system uses this information to verify all optical security elements of the data page against a reference data set, stored in the inspection system in a library, which are based on optical security level 1 (visible) and level 2 (visible with simple technology, like UV-lamp).
With this approach, the inspection system can verify existing travel documents from all 189 member-states of ICAO in different document generations. The document library in the inspection terminal requires, from time to time, an update of the data because some states change the optical feature set of travel documents – typically every 10 years or more.
This new technology has increased border control securitysignificantly. However, some fraudulent travel documents look very similar to the original. The verification of the face photo inthe travel document with the holder must be done manually by the border police. To avoid such weakness, ICAO has collected the international standard on biometric verification of the traveler against the travel document, as addressed in the next chapter. Today, more than 50% of the ICAO member states use MRZ-Inspection systems and many airlines use swipe readers in keyboards computer for the check-in process. In addition, many banks needs the MRZ inspection system to register a new bank customer with 3rd country nationality.
Border control security with electronic document and biometric holder verification, offline
With the standard ICAO 9303 part 3 and the related electronic travel documents (eMRP), border police have the possibility to usethe 3-way verification approach:
- Verify MRZ and the validity of the travel document
- Verify the face photo in the booklet against the face of the traveler, manually
- Verify the electronic stored face photo against a camera photo of the traveler with a computer
- Verify the face photo on the data page with the electronic stored data, manually
The face photo as an image data set is stored in Data Group 2 (DG2) of the chip. Typically, JPEG or JPEG2000 compressed photos of the faces are stored. This could reduce the data set of 12 kbytes and with this, the reading time of the inspection system.The ICAO standard refers to the quality of the digital photo in ISO/IEC 19794-5.
If the procedure with the verification of the electronic stored photo and the camera photo of the traveler fails, some states have stored two fingerprint images (DG3), a second biometric dataset, for a second line verification process. In Europe, this policy is defined with the directive EC/2252/2004 and since 2009,travel documents must be issued in all EU member states with both biometric data sets. In addition, some states in Asia, such asSingapore and Thailand, store two fingerprint data in the eMRP.
The data set in the ICAO-standard for fingerprint biometrics defines the ISO/IEC 19794-2. On the point of data transmission quality, some government authorities have published their own requirements, like the FBI in the US with EFTS/F and theBSI in Germany with TR 03104. One fingerprint image needs approximately 16kbyte of data.
As well as the face photo image and two fingerprint images, ICAO has also defined an iris image, but this is not in use today along border control systems. The first tender on border control system based on iris have been publish in March 2019, for example, in Colombia. With the increase of passenger numbers(in air-traffic), some countries and the related airport ground handlers have fostered the development of Automatic Border Control (ABC) systems to speed up the security border control process. The next section describes the principle of ABC-systems also called 'e-gates'.
Automated border control systems (e-gates), offline
After the first wave of eMRP's roll out in 2006, it took two years for the first installation of e-gates to be implemented at airports, which use the electronic travel documents along with the ICAO standard.Some years earlier, some states spent effort on e-gates based on the Registered Traveler Programs (RTP). Such examples of these gates are CLEAR in the US, ABG in Germany, PEGASE in France, SAPHIRE in The Netherlands and iPass in Japan. Today more than 50 member states of ICAO have e-gates in use, mainly at airports, using the ICAO standard and the related travel documents. More than 90% of such e-gates are using face recognition technology. Between 2014 and 2018 the EU Commission spent some effort on pilot tests of ABC-systems along seaports and land border control systems, with two public funding projects FASTPASS andABC4EU. Overall, ABC-systems can speed up the secure border process and can deliver the same high quality for the inspection process over many hours and perhaps more importantly, the human factor, as fatigue appearance can be avoided.
Automated border control systems online
The ICAO-standard has specified not only electronic travel documents collected with biometric data, but also many infrastructure aspects and so called 'background checks' are described. Some examples of this are;
- PKI/CSCA: member states of ICAO, which issue eMRP, must create an individual document identifier, created in a PKI trust center from a Country Signer Certification Authority(CSCA).
- CSCA-master list: this can be used to verify if travel documents from another country are valid or not.
- PKD: a worldwide central database can be used to identify lost or stolen eMRPs.
- "No-Fly-list": PNR- and CSCA-data can be used to identify no-fly passengers.
- "Wanted-list": different databases can be used to find "wanted persons", for example SIS and API in Europe or VISIT andPNR in the US.
In any case, additional background checks need an online connection to a central database and consume more time at the e-gates than offline systems.
Travel document, trends on optical and electronic security
Back in the summer of 2003, ICAO NTWG started the standardization of electronic MRPs. Some 16 years later, a broad range of ID documents use this standard beside passport booklets (ID-3), such as;
- National ID-card with travel function; ID-1
- Residence Permit with travel function; ID-1
- Seafarer ID-Card with travel function; ID-1
- Frequent traveler card with travel function; ID-1
This section mirrors all relevant ID-documents, new standards, possible synergies and technical trends.
eMRP, 1st Generation
Based on the US Patriot Act from Oct. 2001 and the EU Thessaloniki declaration from Jun. 2003, ICAO NTWG started the work on the standardization of eMRP; on data groups, on access security, on mutual authentication and on biometric data. The world-standard for the 1st generation was publishes springtime 2005 and addresses four biometric data sets, with face (mandatory), fingerprints, iris and handwritten signature, and three security settings, with Passive Authentication (PA),Basic Access Control (BAC) and BAC/AA. AA stands Active Authentication. The deadline for issuing for 26 US Visa WaiverCountries was defined by Oct. 2006. The EU regulation 2242/2005 fixed the deadline for 27 Member States 2 months earlier in August2006. The worldwide frontrunner was Belgium, with the issuing started by Nov. 2004.
eMRP, 2nd Generation
To reduce document fraud a 2nd generation of eMRPs were created from the Brussels Interoperability Group (BIG) by 2007, which captured an additional key, called EAC-key, to get access to the two-fingerprint data in the chip. The Brussels Interoperability Group (BIG) was an ad-hoc expert group under the article-6- committee of the EU Commission. The deadline roll out of all 27 Member States was set for Jun. 2009. Today, few states outside of Europe use this security architecture in their travel documents.
eMRP, 3rd Generation
To reduce the risk of eavesdropping travel documents, ICAO NTWG created and published an additional standard in 2012. SAC replaced the access security protocol BAC, now named PACE. The deadline for the EU Member States was fixed in Dec. 2014. TodayPACE is mainly used in Europe.
eMRP, 4th Generation
During the first wave of issuing passports in 2006, ID-3 Polycarbonate (PC) holder-pages were only used in a few countries, like Finland, Sweden and The Netherlands. Since 2018 more than 55 countries around the globe are now issuing passports with a PC-holder-page. This evolution can be define as 4th generation eMRP to avoid document manipulation and fraud.
Today worldwide, more than 130 states issue eMRPs; the mainstream today is the 1st generation of eMRP. The annualcumulated volume is close to 150 million pieces. ICAO has definedthe phase out for non-eMRP by the end of 2022.
LDS2.0, a new standard
With that view in mind, (the ICAO 9303 standard digitally addresses mainly the printed data of the holder-page (or cover- page) and biometric data),in 2014 ICAO NTWG started a new work item on digitalizing the "rest" of the booklet, meaning visas and stamps. As well as the previous Logical Data Structure LDS1.7, a second container is standardized, named LDS2.0. The standard has been published at the end of CY 2018. The integration into Doc 9303 is pending.
National ID-card with travel function
More and more countries put the ICAO-data set, including electronic security, biometric information and contactless interface into National eID-Cards. The first country to do so wasSweden in 2005. One of the largest programs running today is in Turkey with more than 10 million issued documents per year. Last year the EU Commission published a new directive COM(2018)212 on the minimum security of Member states ID-cards and refers to the ICAO-standard. The implementation deadline is defined forMay 2021.
Residence Permit Cards with travel function
More than 50 states issue Residence Permit cards in ID-1 format for 3rd country nationals. These documents typically also use the ICAO-standard for data, security and biometrics.
Seafarer Card with travel function
ILO publish in 2012 at a technical recommendation for a secure seafarer card, and refer in this recommendation to the ICAO 9303 standard. One of the frontrunners is Myanmar.
It is expected, that in a few years, the cumulated annually issued quantity of ID-1 documents, which need the ICAO standard, would be higher than the traditional ID-3 booklets.
Frequent traveler card based on the ICAO standard
Back in 2009, China tested, and later implemented, along the border control process to Hong Kong and Macao, a frequent traveler card, as a replacement for a booklet with a short time valid visa. The administration effort for the application can be reduced and the speed at the borderline can be increased significantly. Along both borders approximately 700.000 travelers cross the borderline every 24 hours.
Synergy amongst various ID-documents
Using the ICAO standard in different ID-documents can create some synergies in;
- Document production, such as personalizing
- Infrastructure, such as PKI/Trust Center
- Forensic lab, e.g. for verification of level 3 optical security elements
For the police on the street, a family concept on the optical design between the holder-page in booklets and ID-cards could be helpful.
Similar to banknotes, the transparent window technology has moved to ID-documents, such as ID-3 booklets and ID-1 cards. In addition to banknotes, inside the transparent window an additional individual hologram can be placed. This hologram could be the face image of the document holder.
Another optical security topic would be a color photo in PC-ID1- Cards, which can ́t be created using traditional laser engravingequipment.
Some security companies have created samples with 3-D face photo, collected on the PC card or holder-page.
All such research programs address additional optical security, toreduce fraud of official travel documents.
The worldwide number of travelers is increasing dramatically, mainly in the area of air-traffic. IATA forecasts that passenger numbers will grow from 4.1 billion in CY 2017 to 7.8 billion in 2036. New standards for travel documents, such as the change from MRP to eMRP, and new technologies, as seen with the change from manual processes to ABC-systems, increases both border security as well as speed for the border process itself. In combination with other smart border processes, such as Electronic System for Traveler Authorization (ESTA) for online registration trust is increased for all stakeholders, such as travelers, transport organizations, border police and government.
If the border process doesn ́t need visa and/or entry- or exit-stamps, the ID-card with the ICAO data and functions will take over the role of the travel document. As well as trust this will bring additional convenience to the traveler.
New standards, such as LDS2.0 and passport datasets stored in HW-security in Smart Phones have the potential to create new workflow processes and further increase border security and speed once again. The standard LDS2.0 has already seen over 95% of data collected. So, it is safe to say that the technology change from SIM-card to eSIM will remain a priority for the immediate future.

The Bunker Museum of Contemporary Art is a unique place that used to be a bomb shelter. No less unique is the multimedia art performance of Pablo Picasso's farcical play.
It is not widely known that the famous artist was also a playwright. The performance with the immersive exhibition elements is based on the play Desire Caught by the Tail authored by Pablo Picasso in 1941. His paintings literally come alive, accompanying and complementing the audio performance.
The play often called "surrealistic" or "just weird" is rarely staged, since not everyone will understand it.
Among the exhibits, you will also find paintings and sculptures by modern artists who are ahead of their time.
Where: the Bunker Museum of Contemporary Art at the address 50, Mytnaya Street, next to Shabolovskaya metro station, Moscow.
When: from January 2, 2019, to March 31, 2019.

And so it dawned…. our last day in Orlando. And actually we were just about up to see it. The alarm went off at 615 – it was still dark outside – and Bob heroically put the coffee on to drip and knocked on Daisy's door.
I got up and made them both toasted Everything Bagels with crispy bacon and cheese filling and somehow we made it out of the apartment with Daisy fully packed and ready for the airport by 0710.
As is our tradition, we were having a last visit to the Magic Kingdom on our last day. We like to begin and end there. Today, the MK opened at 8 and we wanted to be there for that and get a couple of good hours in, before lots of people descended. At that point we were off to Typhoon Lagoon till it was time for the airport run.
It worked out really well. The crowds in the park for the first two hours were really light. Some parts were empty! And we could really enjoy the decorations which were really lovely. We managed to ride all the big attractions as well and even had a circuit on the People Mover, an aerial train that gives a view of the park.
We finally said farewell at about 1015, taking some last pictures in front of the giant Christmas tree. I must say the Memory Maker photo pass that was included in our tickets was an absolute bargain and we have literally hundreds of pictures of all of us around the parks, and even some little videos. They are ours to download. A great extra.
Drove to Typhoon Lagoon and took up position in a quietish area around the big wave pool. Pretty much reran yesterday afternoon: sunbathe; read; lazy river; family raft ride; repeat. The weather was picture perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Daisy got showered and changed into her travelling clothes and we drove her to Orlando Airport for check in at 5. Her first flight is to Washington DC and then on to London overnight. So very sorry to see her go. We have had a really amazing time with her. It has very much "made" our trip to have her out in Orlando with us. We almost certainly would not have done all the Disney stuff if we'd been on our own and as you can tell, we've really enjoyed that. She's great company and I've also enjoyed shopping with her. We'll see her in a little over two weeks when the girls come down to stay with us after we get home.
Back to the condo and did our packing. Two suitcases with all our purchases and summer clothes. Two suitcases with cruise wear for the QM2 crossing and New York, plus other stuff, one carryon with electricals, jewellery, overnight for the train. And of course the "dead body"…. otherwise known as Bob's golf clubs in their travelling case which also carries some overflow packing. Its a lot…. and a lot more than we came out with. I have stocked up on sun products here. My Hawaiian Tropic is about $7 for a big bottle here whereas at home it is about £11. I use a lot so it is well worth it.
Anyway, we are ready for the next stage of our adventure! We have had such a fantastic month here in central Florida. So much love and thanks to all our extended "family" who helped make this stay so wonderful: Fran and Dave for their endless hospitality and great company and for introducing us to their lovely circle of friends; David for driving down from Tallahassee and being great company! Stacy for her hospitality and company; Buddy and Harriet for just being the greatest; Danny for being the best Disney and restaurant guide; Heather for being lovely and for her unbelievable and unforgettable rum cake!!!! Michael, Laura, Hannah and Asher for coming down to Florida and letting us play for a while and enjoy the pleasure of having little kids to take to the park once again. We love you all very much and look forward to seeing you again soon somewhere in the world – or back in Florida.

This case is interesting from a psychological perspective because Mr. Ravi may not have been convicted were it not for Mr. Clementi's Twitter and Facebook feeds. Those feeds documented his mental state and beliefs leading up to his suicide. According to the article, jurors were fairly convinced that Mr. Clementi thought Mr. Ravi was targeting him because of his sexual orientation. If this same case had occurred 10 years ago, prosecutors would have had an extremely difficult time determining what Mr. Clementi had been thinking around the time of his suicide. But, with Twitter and Facebook documenting all of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in an up-to-the-minute kind of way, prosecutors were able to convince the jury fairly quickly that Mr. Ravi was guilty.

Abstract (EN)In Majority Judgment, Michel Balinski and Rida Laraki argue that the traditional theory of social choice offers no acceptable solution to the problems of how to elect, to judge, or to rank. They find that the traditional model—transforming the "preference lists" of individuals into a "preference list" of society—is fundamentally flawed in both theory and practice. Balinski and Laraki propose a more realistic model. It leads to an entirely new theory and method--majority judgment—proven superior to all known methods. It is at once meaningful, resists strategic manipulation, elicits honesty, and is not subject to the classical paradoxes encountered in practice, notably Condorcet's and Arrow's. They offer theoretical, practical, and experimental evidence—from national elections to figure skating competitions—to support their arguments. Drawing on insights from wine, sports, music, and other competitions, Balinski and Laraki argue that the question should not be how to transform many individual rankings into a single collective ranking, but rather, after defining a common language of grades to measure merit, how to transform the many individual evaluations of each competitor into a single collective evaluation of all competitors. The crux of the matter is a new model in which the traditional paradigm—to compare—is replaced by a new paradigm—to evaluate.

Note: This was cross-posted from IIAR board member Evan Quinn's blog: link.
An AR friend of mine recently asked if there was a formula or guideline for right-sizing AR teams. Unfortunately, there is no simple formula to the staffing question, but off the top of my head there are five factors that contribute to determining a reasonable headcount model for right-sizing an AR team, whether full-time employee or 3rd party agency or contractors.
1. Enterprise focus: Vendors that have more of an enterprise focus will tend to need to more AR staff per revenue dollar than consumer-oriented IT vendors. E.g., IBM, which is essentially 100% enterprise focused, would likely have more AR headcount/revenue than say Acer which sells plenty of PCs to consumers.
2. Sales model: Vendors with a higher percentage of sales through a direct sales force will tend to require more AR headcount/revenue dollar versus vendors that depend heavily on an indirect channel sales model. Why? Because direct sales is more directly impacted by IT buyer influencers, like Gartner and Forrester, than through the channel. There is nothing like your own sales force calling the AR team and saying, "Hey, Gartner is in this deal, and…"
3. Product/service Diversity: Vendors with more diverse product lines tend to require more AR headcount/revenue than vendors with vendors with less diverse product/service lines. For example, say there was a pure-play storage vendor, and competing vendor who offers both storage and security. Everything else being equal, the latter firm (storage and security) would tend to require a few more AR headcount because of a more diverse product line.
4. Geographic Diversity: Vendors with a true global reach will tend to need more AR personnel, just for geographic coverage purposes. E.g., say there were two 2 billion/year revenue enterprise-oriented vendors with similarly diverse product lines and similar sales models; but one has geo splits of 60% US, 35% EMEA, 5% APJ. The other vendor has 40% US, 35% EMEA, 25% APJ – you might expect another headcount to support APJ at the latter vendor.
5. AR Program Model: I like to think of AR programs as coming in "small, medium and large" models. That doesn't indicate the headcount, but indicates the role of the AR team in the overall context of the vendor, thus:
· Small – An AR program that basically chases PR: AR has little budget, analysts are treated as an extension of media, there is little market intelligence buying; minor analyst event spending; little to no spending on analyst advisory or custom research projects. The "small" AR model usually has AR reporting into PR, or into a very PR-oriented head of Corporate Communications.
· Medium – An AR program that focuses on core AR work versus media-think: MQs, Waves and market share are treated seriously. But advisory and custom research projects with analysts are relatively few and far between, and AR plays only a minor role in co-marketing, events, or market intelligence buying. Most of the spending with analyst firms does not come from the AR budget, though the AR team has a enough discretionary budget to capture the interest of analyst firm account managers.
· Large – The AR program is treated as a strategic element of sales/marketing: Perhaps more than 50% of the all spending on analyst firms emanates from the AR budget, and the AR team carries strong influence on other analyst-related spending like events and custom research projects. AR is directly involved with market intelligence buying, is front-and-center in analyst firm negotiation, and senior management and the strategy team at the vendor are willing to engage with top analysts.
Naturally the "large" model will yield more AR headcount/revenue than the small model.
In summary, IT vendors that are (1) enterprise-focused, (2) largely use a direct sales model, (3) have diverse product/service lines, (4) are geographically diverse and (5) take their AR seriously and empower it as a strategic function should carry more AR headcount/revenue than similarly-sized vendors that do not exhibit that criteria.
Of course, this simple 5 criteria analysis only scrapes the surface. Plenty of other factors go into determining headcount, such as how important are metrics to the AR team? Does the AR team maintain internal and external web portals, or participate actively in social media on an on-going basis (versus just as tracking tool at vendor AR events)? Does the AR team travel extensively? Is the team heavily weighted AR experience-wise to one end of the scale or the other (in theory more experienced AR people should be a little more efficient and effective per headcount)? Does the AR team work with a wider set of influencers and experts, or only strictly industry analysts?
Next post will focus on 5 gotchas for wrong-sizing AR teams.

In Tallahassee, Florida, 117,000 retail electric and natural gas customers will see rate relief on October 1, according to a report by the local Tallahassee Democrat.
Deputy City Manager Reese Goad told the news outlet that customers of the municipal utility – the fourth-largest in the Sunshine State – will see a 2.3 percent drop in electric costs and a 2.5 percent decrease in natural gas expenses.
The reason? Goad said that both changes could be attributed to declining natural gas prices. He credits city decision makers for sticking with natural gas fuel and choosing to use efficient equipment.
Tallahassee City Electric — which continues to face scrutiny for the 100,000 customers who experienced power outages after Hurricane Hermine made landfall in Tallahassee and Talquin, Florida earlier this month— has seen its electricity prices drop steadily over the years as a result of natural gas use, the utility said. A household using 1,000-kilowatt hours (kWh) today pays $108.20 per month compared to $157.80 in 2008.
"(Our prices) are going in a good direction and we feel really good about that," Goad told the Tallahassee Democrat. "These things, they take a lot of forethought and leadership."
Meanwhile, customers of the nearby not-for-profit Talquin Electric Cooperative saw a slight uptick in their rates at the beginning of the month.

Did you miss NCECA? Or maybe you were at NCECA, but missed New York Magazine senior art critic Jerry Saltz's charismatic keynote speech? Well its your lucky day! The speech is now available in our library! If you are already a member, watch the speech, or begin your 30-day free trial of cfile.campus.
Speaking for the first time to a giant auditorium of ceramists, Saltz implores:
"All of you are called to make your work. I would tell all artists not to be artists. Don't be an artist… unless you really really really really really have to be. Because you're going to spend a real lot of time alone — ungodly amounts of time alone until you love it in a diseased way. Right now we're out here with each other in public, but we're barely functioning!
Jasper Johns says an incredible thing. You do everything you can do until you are helpless to do the thing that you have to do."
And later, on artists who call themselves "ceramists":
Here's my only advice…don't call yourself a ceramist. I know, this is where the talk goes south. Jerry tanked. You know what I call you: artists. You're sculptors you assholes! In other schools and other conferences, a painter that uses fabric doesn't say 'I'm a a macreme-ist, motherfuckers.'
I mean lets get our priorities straight! Don't define yourself only by medium. You can't stop the painters… fuck them."
Saltz has been the senior art critic for New York Magazine since 2007. Previously, he was senior art critic for the Village Voice. He is a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Criticism and has published two volumes of criticism. The 2007 winner of the Frank Jewett Mather Award in Art Criticism from the College Art Association, he has lectured widely including at Harvard, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has taught at Columbia University, Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, among many others.
Among younger generations, Saltz is known for his bawdy and much loved Instagram presence, wherein he posts erotic painting and political commentary. Saltz is married to New York Times art critic Roberta Smith.

Download Your Favourite Content on YouTube TV App
According to the latest reports, the YouTube TV app on Android will soon get an update of version 5.06.2. After you open an app, it will make a system notification that reads "Looking for Incomplete downloads". This is similar to the YouTube and YouTube music apps.
As of now, the download feature is not yet available, but it is for sure that the function will come soon with the latest release of the app. There will be various restrictions on how long the content is available offline and still it is not clear that how much content can be downloaded.
The strings in the app confirm the offline download feature. When your device will not have an active internet connection, YouTube TV will alert you and take you to a download page to see what's there. When you watch a show, you will see a download button. It is said that the feature is most likely coming on both Android and iOS.
Apart from this, there are many Streaming services available like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, HBO, etc. Almost all of these services allow you to download content to watch it offline. And now, even YoutTube TV is working on this feature.
Google has already started rolling out version 5.06.2 for YouTube TV on Google Play Store. So, you don't need to wait for so long as the new feature will be available soon for all the users.
These days, streaming services have become so popular that most of them use it to watch their favorite movies, series, and TV shows.

4 Nonfiction Titles You Have to Pick Up This December!
| Dec 6
While the Get Lit squad loves its fiction (seriously, we can't put down our December fiction picks!), we like to make sure we switch it up every now and then, and get some of that real-life inspo in our TBR.

It's my great pleasure to introduce this week's top author. Gilli Allan is a member of my Facebook book group, Lizzie's Book Group and I always love to hear about her amazing writing journey. Today I have asked her to answer my questions in photos, so we can learn a little bit more about her life in a different way.
1. Post a photo of you that we won't have seen everywhere else.
This is the author picture for when I was first, main-stream published in the pre-digital age!
2. Where do you write?
The study. Colloquially known as Gilli's cave
3. Use three photos or images to describe your personality.
I am an artist and illustrator. This is the front cover image from my son's first publication, the children's book, The Tale of King Harald – The Last Viking Adventure.
I love the English landscape, particularly the view from the back of my house down the valley
I love family. I can't find a picture of all of us together, but this is me and my son.
4. Share a photo of your favourite holiday destination.
Assos, in Kefalonia. Unfortunately it is not looking so beautiful at the moment as they suffered a lot of destruction as a result of the recent medicane (Mediterranean hurricane) we will be returning as soon as possible because we have so many friends there.
5. Post a photo of something that you baked, learnt or made, during lockdown.
During lockdown I discovered the location of the grave (plus some additional information) about my great grandfather, John James Allan (stage name JJ Dallas). He was buried in Ladywell Cemetery, Lewisham as were other members of the family. I already he knew he was a Music Hall performer and a sometime member of the D'Oyley Carte Company, touring with them in America.
Find out more about Gilli and her amazing work here:
Buried Treasure:

Other books – Amazon author page:
author.to/GILLIALLAN or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gilli-Allan/
Gilli Allan began to write in childhood – a hobby pursued throughout her teenage. Writing was only abandoned when she left home, and real life supplanted the fiction.
After a few false starts she worked longest and most happily as a commercial artist, and only began writing again when she became a mother.
Living in Gloucestershire with her husband Geoff, Gilli is still a keen artist. She draws and paints and has now moved into book illustration.
She was published by Accent Press, now Accent Headline, and each of her books, TORN, LIFE CLASS, FLY or FALL as well as the independently published BURIED TREASURE, has won a 'Chill with a Book' award.
Following in the family tradition, her son, historian Thomas Williams, is also a writer. He is published by William Collins.

Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

Back to California — For Genealogy, of Course!
Both trips were to give talks that had been scheduled before my move out of state. The first was a presentation to the Contra Costa County Genealogical Society (CCCGS) last week on Thursday. I flew to Oakland (via Ontario!) and took BART out to Concord, where Martha Whittaker graciously picked me up and took me to the premeeting group dinner, and from there Lisa Gorrell drove me to the meeting. It was gratifying to see that the room was full for my presentation about using resources compiled for Jewish research to help research non-Jewish ancestors. I was very glad that everyone appeared to enjoy the talk and several people came up to say they learned a lot.
The second trip was today (Tuesday), to the Santa Clara County Historical and Genealogical Society (SCCHGS). This time I flew into San Jose, where Linda Sanders met me and took me to the Santa Clara City Library. The topic was immigration and naturalization records, and the room was again full of genealogists. I took up all the time allotted and had to leave a couple of questions unanswered because librarian Mary Boyle wanted to make sure I got to the airport on time for my return flight. This talk also went well, and Mary said everyone appreciated the information.
I am grateful to CCCGS and SCCHGS for inviting me to be a speaker and then keeping me on the schedule after I moved. Thank you both for your support, and I really enjoyed both presentations. I hope I'm able to visit again soon.

After 32 years, artist and writer DICK LOCHER is retiring from the DICK TRACY newspaper strip. The strip is being taken over by artist JOE STATON and writer MIKE CURTIS. Their first strip will appear on March 14th. I've been a fan of DICK LOCHER's work for years! I have enjoyed his editorial cartoons that appeared in the Chicago Tribune and, of course, his work on DICK TRACY! I attended a terrific lecture that LOCHER gave at Columbia College Chicago when I was going to school there back in 1988. Congratulations to JOE STATON and MIKE CURTIS! I've always enjoyed STATON's work. I will miss the work of DICK LOCHER, though! DICK TRACY was created by CHESTER GOULD. You can read more HERE!

Leslie and I had another great visit to DISNEYLAND today! Perfect weather and it wasn't crowded...we literally walked right into PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and the HAUNTED MANSION. On this visit, we rode the DISNEYLAND RAILROAD around the park and saw the very cool PRIMEVAL WORLD exhibit that Walt Disney created for the 1964 World's Fair in New York. We try to do and see a few different attractions each time we go to DISNEYLAND.

The History of Japanese-American incarceration in the United States is, I think, one of the clearest examples of what happens when we ignore the United States Constitution.
— Rose Masters
Rose Masters is a Park Ranger specializing in oral history at Manzanar National Historic Site. In this interview Rose talks about the conditions that led to the signing of Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the eviction of ethnically Japanese Americans from the Western United States and the incarceration of nearly 70,000 American citizens.
Learn how this episode destroyed a pioneering American agricultural community and what we can do to avoid repeating in the future what President Gerald Ford called a "setback to fundamental American principles."
