In addition to Dr. Vora's advanced education and training, we also utilize the most state of the art dental and facial imaging equipment available. This helps us ensure optimal success for every implant procedure.
A key to the safety and success of complex dental surgery is advanced radiography. Cone beam digital CT scanning allows us to take 3-Dimensional, low radiation, high resolution CT scans of your facial anatomy. We can then view these images from different angles, take precise measurements, and easily share 3-D data with other doctors.
Cone beam imaging is ideal for patient comfort. It offers an "open-environment" design that reduces anxiety, and images can be taken in as little as 8.5 seconds, limiting discomfort and exposure to radiation.
Correct implant placement maximizes safety, longevity and the cosmetic end result. Precision implant placement begins with a CAT scan that must be extensively analyzed.
SimPlant is a computer system that automatically analyzes CAT scan information and provides exact placement perimeters for optimum results. This advanced system gives immediate guidance as to the exact size of implant needed and the ideal placement location. Case planning between Dr. Vora and your restorative dentist can then be done.
Additionally, the SimPlant analysis can be immediately sent to our dental lab who will use it to manufacture a surgical guide. Implant placement becomes completely computer-guided, eliminating any possible surgical error.

Hey guys, just to inform all of you that there's an upcoming H-Artistry event this 8th of September 2012 at the Kenanga Wholesale City (KWC) Kuala Lumpur. So if you have missed the party in Penang at the Straits Quay Convention Centre last June (my blog post here). Anyway, I'm sure this second instalment will be hell of an excitement for all the party goers out there!
As H-Artistry zeros in on Kuala Lumpur's latest wholesale fashion hub, around 3,000 party goers will be treated to a mix of world-class music and the trademark H-Artistry atmosphere. Seasoned H-Artistry enthusiasts and new initiates alike will be blown away by a revamped Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone featuring the Hennessy 360 Cam, as well as other interactive party elements; making it one of the premier party experiences this September.

This instalment of H-Artistry will be headlined by international vocal powerhouse and EDM (electronic dance music) siren Eva Simons, Jakarta's cult-status DJ Angger Dimas, as well as Kuala Lumpur's fast-rising electronic dance nu-breeds B.A.T.E. (Brain And The Eye). The night will charge on till the end with the hard-hitting, hipster-worshipped duo Mr.Nasty & GuruGuru (a.k.a. Bass Agents).
|Eva Simons
Headlining H-Artistry this September at KWC KL, Dutch vocal powerhouse and EDM siren Eva Simons has come a long way since her beginnings. Back in 2009, Eva Simon's track entitled "Silly Boy" started to gain popularity on the internet and received attention from the likes of Kanye West. Bolstered by this initial success, Simons went on to sign a worldwide record deal at EMI, which led to even more notable records from her up to mid-2010. This was when Eva Simons & Mike Hamilton (also known as the writing team Topline Ink) wrote the song "Take Over Control".
They played the idea to DJ Afrojack, who produced a hit single that went on to spend 6 weeks on the Billboard Top Dance Airplay Chart. "Take Over Control" also topped iTunes dance charts globally, gaining Platinum status in Australia and certified Gold in the US. Today, the song has become a global dance crossover anthem.
In 2011, Eva Simons went on to sign another major record deal in the US and was featured on LMFAO's track, "Best Night", subsequently joining the Los Angeles party rocking duo on their "Sorry for Party Rocking" tour. In addition, Simons has also collaborated with will.i.am on tracks for his upcoming solo album.
Eva Simons has since premiered her new single "I Don't Like You" under Interscope Records, and her tracks continue to pump up dance floors around the world with her distinct and power-packed vocals.
|Angger Dimas
In a short span of time, Dimas' talent landed him a record deal with Australia's mighty Vicious Recordings in early 2009. Dimas went on to spend the rest of his early years fine-tuning his craft, making a huge impact not only in Jakarta's thriving club scene, but also amongst international electro house / EDM heavyweights such as Laidback Luke and Steve Aoki.
Dimas' debut release "Duck Army" has been played by the likes of Tocadisco, Joachim Garraud and Laidback Luke, while another Dimas track entitled "She Got It" was dropped by Sebastian Ingrosso as his opening track at the famed "Sensation" event, in front of a 20,000-strong Melbourne crowd. Dimas' tracks are often included in the playlists of David Guetta, Chuckie, Armand Van Helden, Steve Aokie, Laidback Luke and Axwell.
|Brain and the Eye (B.A.T.E)
B.A.T.E., made up of local duo Wai Hong and Ethan Curzon, are two fast rising nu-breeds aspiring to be the next big DJ duo in the local scene. Despite being relatively new, B.A.T.E. are no strangers to Kuala Lumpur party goers. The duo is frequently spotted tearing up the decks at various nightspots around the city such as Barsonic at Zouk, Vertigo, LUST, Bakita and Bedroom.
Known for their hand-picked selection of only the finest tunes in Disco, Techno, Big Room and Electro, B.A.T.E. are heavily influenced by EDM juggernauts such as Laidback Luke, Boys Noize and Steve Angello. Eager to set the energy and pace this 8 September at H-Artistry, party goers can expect an adrenalin-laced set with lots of fist-pumping moments as B.A.T.E. brings their eclectic sound to the biggest party in Kuala Lumpur this September 2012.
|Nasty and Guru Guru
Infamous household names of the Kuala Lumpur party scene, Nasty and GuruGuru who come together as the Bass Agents need no introduction. Anchoring the hipster continent of Zouk Club KL, with their monthly residency at Basonic, the Bass Agents have well established their mark in the region with their complex and edgy lashings of electro, hard trance and hard style.
Known for their dirty, energetic electro house and big room tunes, their monthly parties at various locations around Kuala Lumpur such as CTRL at Zouk, Avant/Garde at Vertigo and TOP at Bakita have earned them borderline cult status and potent street cred. The Bass Agents will be hitting the overdrive button at H-Artistry as they push energy levels through the roof, all the way until the end of the night.
Be sure not to miss out on this H-Artistry by checking out their website at www.h-artistry.com.my or Facebook page www.facebook.com/HennessyMalaysia
H-Artistry is open to those above 18 years of age and non-Muslims only.
See ya'll at the party!

After finishing the scan the status appears to be false positive. those it mean all scanned issue is false positive?
It means if the target system reply wrong codes back to the Penetrator.
example if you goto website
then the website must return 404 error code but sometimes websites turn wrong code 200 OK back.
When this happen you can send us the report and we make an intelligent learning in the Penetrator.
So it can recognize it in the future like a human and wont be fooled by it.

Dublin's most famous street trader will be back to work in the coming weeks following an intensive two-month rehabilitation programme.
The Molly Malone statue was removed from the bottom of Grafton Street at the end of April to clear the way for work on the Luas Cross City line, which will link the existing Red and Green Luas lines through Dublin city centre.
The statue, erected more than 25 years ago to celebrate the city's millennium, has become a significant tourist attraction and has suffered structurally from the attentions of visitors, Donncha Ó Dúlaing, heritage manager with the Railway Procurement Agency, said.
"Her condition was quite poor. Unlike other statues in the city she is at person height and so get s a huge amount of attention, which leads to ongoing wear and tear."
Damaged fingers
The statue has two main sections, the figure and her barrow, but was cast in more than 30 pieces which were then welded together in situ when it was installed in 1998. Significant cracks have developed between the bronze pieces, with the fingers of one hand now in a particularly precarious state.
When lifted, it also emerged that there was a series of hairline cracks on the underside of the statue. Bubbles which can occur when bronze is being cast have also caused small holes in the statue.
The repairs being carried out by Bushy Park Ironworks involve welding of the cracks and filling up bubble holes with a hard wax. Several coats of micro-crystalline wax are also being applied over the whole statute to protect it from water damage. The statue will be given a new Irish granite platform because of damage to the stone work on which it stood.
The cost of removal, repair and reinstatement of the statue is expected to be up to €50,000, but visitors should notice little change in her when she appears back in town at her new temporary location outside the tourist office in the former St Andrew's Church on nearby Suffolk Street later this month. "We are carrying out some patination, to bring her back to her original dark brown colour, but we are leaving the areas where she's been rubbed over the years, so she will look as people remember her, but she'll be a lot stronger," Edward Bisgood of Bushy Park Ironworks said.
The statue will remain on Suffolk Street pending the end of the Luas works in 2017 when it will be relocated to Grafton Street, slightly north of its original location.

I contemplated for a long time whether or not to write this – not because I am at all ashamed of it, but because I'm very unsure of how people might receive this sort of content on my blog. Mental Health is a topic that has been close to my heart since high school, when I first started to understand the struggles of people around me, and unfortunately it is also one that we don't discuss enough. Every time it is brought up, the words Anxiety and Depression are spoken in hushed whispers, like it's a secret that needs to be buried and hidden.
Except it isn't. Not at all.

I had a major craving for pastrami recently. One of the best places to eat in Santa Barbara was Norton Pastrami. One of the most popular sandwich shops in town, Norton's obviously specialized in that wonderful salty meat. Usually they just served it on a squishy roll after dipping it in au jus. It was perfect and I wanted that.
However, only Norton's really made that kind of sandwich with pastrami. So it was up to me to see if I could find a good source of pastrami even if I couldn't find that specific sandwich. A quick google search turned up the most popular spot, a food cart (of course) called Pastrami Zombie.
It was across town from where I live, but luckily I was driving through on my way back from a hike so it worked out to stop there. It's part of a large food cart pod located near a popular bar in the area. You can get drinks at the bar, use their restrooms if you need, and warm up inside if you want. Also any and all of the food carts looked great and have good reviews. I just had a specific craving.
Once there, they didn't have the same style of sandwich I was looking for. But that was fine, I just wanted pastrami on anything. They had the traditional pastrami on rye, but instead I opted for Da-Burg, a hamburger with a generous amount of pastrami on top.
I sat down and warmed up as best I could. It's getting to be very cold out. It didn't take long for my sandwich to show up and I wasn't disappointed. It had full, rich pastrami flavor complimented by the burger and toppings. It just came with a bag of chips, I would've preferred french fries but they were still tasty.
All in all I liked it and will definitely go back to try out their more traditional offerings. They also have a brick and mortar location somewhere that I want to try.

Do you have back pain? Statistics show you likely do. Or you have had it in the past or will in the future. Back pain can be a million different things, and you can get it an equal number of ways. Until you've suffered it, you don't realise how disruptive it can be.
Trying to fix back pain is a superb way to make people understand the power of scientific method and how to use it. In many ways, we all use scientific method in daily life. We just do it intuitively, under-the-hood. Like when you cook a recipe the first time and decide it isn't quite to your taste. You try again, making modifications. You like the second one better.
You've just cooked two experiments and interpreted the results. You made objective measurements with your taste buds; this informal approach works as well as a particle accelerator in this context. Iterative trials and judgements of empirical data are core to the scientific method. (Plus, anyone who has spent time in the lab will attest to the fact that much of lab work is exactly akin to cooking. Get and follow a recipe. Repeat.)
Scientific method is a simply a centuries-old, proven way of collecting empirical evidence for or against a particular idea. In scientific parlance, the idea is called a hypothesis. It's a hypothesis since you can't say yet it's true or not. To eventually deem it correct, you need objective evidence (evidence that is repeatable). It isn't an opinion, but an observable fact. Best of all, science is self-correcting. Countless hypotheses ticked off as 'true' have been modified or even thrown out under the weight of new evidence.
So, how does this help us solve back pain? Why the link to scientific method? Because your ability to follow it might be just what you need. You are best-placed to understand your body. Careful observation of what causes your pain, and relieves it, and how things are progressing during treatment, will prove crucial to getting back on track.
Applying rigorous scientific method to your back predicament can often mean the difference between chronic pain and relief. Many sufferers give up and just live with the pain. They don't progress through the options well enough to reverse what is an unexpectedly, tricky problem.
Back pain is often not simple to fix for many reasons that all have to do with the nature of the human body. This machine is wonderfully complex and has all kinds of safety features, some of which can interfere with fixing yourself. Your body will try to protect muscles from being used. While this is super while you are injured, once healed, you need to use these muscles, or they will atrophy and the supporting muscles that have taken over in their stead while likely become even more stressed.
The back is full of moving parts. Many work in groups and chains. Pain in your neck can be related to problems in your lower back. Whether the bottoms of your feet are flexible can help contribute to whether or not you can touch the floor with your fingers. The muscles in your arches link to your calves, to your hamstrings, and up into your back and then to your arms. The whole chain can seize up at any point, hindering flexibility. When you lose flexibility, you invite pain.
Back pain due to muscles can often be caused what we call 'referred pain'. The pain you feel can often be the result of problems six inches or more away from the point you touch on your back that hurts. Entire maps of referred pain from trigger points in muscles can be found and might help you navigate your twinges and aches. Often, many trigger points can conspire to work together as one or more initial injuries get protected, straining neighbouring muscles. Like a traffic jam often starts with just one car putting on the brakes, you can end up with a massive snarl of cars, or inflamed trigger points.
Your pain could be due to bones, ligaments, muscles, or more rarely, another condition, including bacterial infections. Just like skin needs time to heal, so do these heavy-duty structural parts of your anatomy. The right type of relief might be working, but the pain will still be there for a while. Just like failing to take a full course of antibiotics, stopping short is a common cause of failure to fix back problems.
If one piece of your anatomy is damaged by injury, misuse, or overuse, it can cause other parts around it to fail too. They take too much of a load they aren't explicitly designed to hold. Now you have any number of secondary issues too. The more aggravated the jam of problems becomes, the more you have to fix.
You might also get loads of conflicting advice. Should you push into the pain or avoid it? This decision will depend on how fresh the injury is. You shouldn't exacerbate a wound trying to heal up, but once it has recovered, pushing into the pain to stretch what has become too tight can be what you need. Stretching is often as important as building muscle.
Fixing a long-term back problem often involves working through layers of problems to get to the underlying cause. How many of us have harboured aches and pains that we just ignore? Like a bag of trash, they just decay over time. Many of us only reach out for help once it's unbearable. We should all learn to take out the trash bad as soon as its full, not waiting for it to fester and draw flies.
You could also be suffering more than one problem. Symptoms can even contradict each other. Things that are good for one injury can flare up a competing one. A final factor to keep at the forefront of your mind is that back pain can involve a long process of healing.
All of the above reasons can make unravelling the origin of back pain head-bangingly confusing. The first critical step is to develop your working hypothesis, or in medical terms, a diagnosis. In an ideal situation, you nail the problem immediately and get it fixed on the same day you visit your expert. I'm thinking about times that your bones are misaligned. YouTube abounds with videos of chiropractors cracking people's joints. Until you see examples, you don't quite believe how painful the starting condition of a misalignment can be and how immediate the benefits are of getting it corrected. People often go from excruciating pain and immobility to 'fixed' in seconds.
But snap-fixes are rare.
Just getting a diagnosis can be problematic. You might go to a range of potential experts for a diagnosis, depending on your means, situation, experiences, and pains. Paths towards help could include the doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor, masseuse, yoga instructor, or another knowledgeable person.
If the issue is bone alignment and you go to a physical therapist, there is only so much they can do. If it's in your muscles and you go to a chiropractor, there is only so much they can do. If you go to a doctor, they will often just refer you to the physical therapist. If the physical therapist diagnoses a leg length difference you'll be right back to the doctor for a referral to get a CT scan to confirm it. Then back to the physical therapist. If you have a mix of problems, you'll have to jump around.
With the right diagnosis, you take action. You assess the action to see if it helped. The hypothesis proves correct if applying the fix reduces the pain. If not, you start again.
All of this reminds us that medicine doesn't know everything yet. Science is constantly self-correcting and while new information collects, different hypotheses can be deemed 'the truth'. Pelvic tilts used to be all the rage. Now a neutral pelvis is common advice. You'll often have to inform yourself, use common sense, a lot of trial and error, and do your best.
A good practitioner at any level should willingly admit there is still much that medicine needs to learn. If she does, you know you are in good hands. Make yourself a part of your therapy, and use scientific method to help you.
Ideally, in the future, there will be "Scientific method back pain centres." You'd be seen by a group of experts and shuttled to the right expert or combination of experts to help you. At the same time, you'd be taught scientific method and encourage to take your health into your own hands. The expert teams at such an idealistic centre would also expect to learn from patients, charting what didn't work as actively as what did.

When two wormholes collide, they could produce ripples in space-time that ricochet off themselves. Future instruments could detect these gravitational "echoes," providing evidence that these hypothetical tunnels through space-time actually exist, a new paper suggests.
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has already detected space-time ripples, called gravitational waves, emanating from merging black holes—discoveries that led to the Nobel Prize in 2017.
But while LIGO's detection was just one of many observations supporting the existence of black holes, these exotic objects still pose theoretical problems. For instance, they seem to be inconsistent with the laws of quantum mechanics. One way to resolve these problems is if black holes were actually wormholes.
Point of no return
One of the main features of black holes is the event horizon, a region of space-time beyond which nothing can escape, not even light. If you throw anything into a black hole, it's lost forever—to an extent. Stephen Hawking discovered that, thanks to a phenomenon known as quantum tunneling, black holes could actually produce a tiny bit of radiation, which would come to be known as Hawking radiation. Over a long time, black holes could even evaporate away due to this radiation.
"But what comes out is random," said Amber Stuver, an astrophysicist at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, who was not involved in the new research. The radiation contains no clue as to what went into the black hole. [Stephen Hawking: A Physics Icon Remembered in Photos]
"In quantum mechanics, if you know everything about a particular system, then you should be able to describe its past and its future," she said. But because any information that goes into a black hole is gone for good, an event horizon doesn't jibe with quantum mechanics.
To resolve this so-called black hole information paradox, some physicists have suggested that event horizons don't exist. Instead of abysses from which nothing can return, black holes actually could be a host of speculative black-hole-like objects that lack event horizons, such as boson stars, gravastars, fuzzballs and even wormholes, which were theorized by Albert Einstein and physicist Nathan Rosen decades ago.
Black hole look-alikes
In a 2016 study in the journal Physical Review Letters, physicists hypothesized that if two wormholes collided, they would produce gravitational waves very similar to those generated from merging black holes. The only difference in the signal would be in the last phase of the merger, called the ringdown, when the newly combined black hole or wormhole relaxes into its final state.
Because wormholes don't have event horizons, gravitational waves that hit these objects could bounce back, producing an echo during the ringdown.
"The interior of the object is a sort of cavity where gravitational waves are reflected," the researchers of the new study told Live Science in an email. "The production of gravitational echoes is not very different from ordinary sound echoes in a valley."
In the paper, published in January in the journal Physical Review D, the team of physicists from Belgium and Spain analyzed wormholes that rotate, which are more realistic than the non-spinning variety studied in the 2016 work. They calculated what the resulting gravitational-wave signal would look like if the wormholes merged.
Because the strength of the signal drops during the ringdown, that section of the signal would be too weak for LIGO's current configuration to detect. But that could change in the future, as researchers continue to upgrade and fine-tune the instrument, the researchers said.
"By the time we are running at full design sensitivity, I believe it may be possible to resolve the ringdown phase where these echoes are predicted to be," said Stuver, who's also a member of the LIGO team.
Still, wormholes are less science fact than science fiction, often used in movies and books as intergalactic highways. For wormholes to be traversable, however, you would probably need some unknown exotic matter to keep them open. Last December, physicists came up with traversable wormholes that don't need exotic matter, but, like all wormholes, they're highly speculative. "On the other hand, the repercussions of a detection of echoes would be of dramatic importance in physics," the researchers wrote in an email to Live Science. "So, given that an actual experimental test will be available soon, it is worth exploring them."
"Now it's the time to take seriously the possibility that there are other objects which can be as massive and compact as black holes," said Vitor Cardoso, a physicist at the University of Lisbon in Portugal, who was part of the earlier study on nonspinning wormholes. "This is one of the most exciting things we can do with gravitational waves."

Happy Endings!
Purr Monster
Purr Monster came to our hospital in September 2015. He had been missing for several days and finally returned home with a mysterious injury on his left front leg. His family brought him in right away, but it was unfortunately much too late to save the leg. His paw was very swollen and infected (maggots had already moved in), two of the bones in his leg were exposed, and the limb was almost detached- far beyond the point of ever being used again. After consulting with the veterinarian, Purr Monster's family decided the best thing we could do was amputate the leg. Dr. Lawson did the surgery the very next day, and the rest is history!
Purr Monster has adjusted wonderfully to life as a three-legged cat. He is still his friendly, happy old self but now enjoys an indoor-only lifestyle. There are so many dangers outdoors, especially for cats. Purr Monster can tell us that the safest place for our kitties is indoors!
Betsy came to us early in December after getting her muzzle stuck in a coyote snare. Although we were able to remove the metal snare with wire-cutters, that was just the beginning of her journey. Due to severe trauma from the tight snare, she had lacerations surrounding her mouth and her face was so swollen she was almost unrecognizable. Eating and drinking were nearly impossible, and necrosis (death of the tissue) and severe infection were the next challenges she had to deal with.
Luckily for Betsy, her amazing family was dedicated to her complete recovery. Over the next month, she underwent two reconstructive surgeries with Dr. Arvidson to remove dead tissue and repair her face, as well as multiple visits in between to check her progress and administer additional treatments. During that time, Betsy charmed everyone at the hospital with her sweet, happy personality. It was amazing to watch her transform from a fearful dog that didn't trust us, to a bouncy girl that could hardly wait to come through the door to give us kisses!
The trapper who owned the snares did contact the family- the day Betsy returned home he had found her in his snare, cut her loose and she ran off before he could help her. Unfortunately, Betsy's sister Emma was not so lucky- she had also become caught in a snare but sadly passed away before the trapper discovered her.
Now, Betsy is fully recovered and more beautiful than ever (she has a cool scar now, too). And while Betsy isn't wandering very far from home anymore, she would like to remind dogs and their owners to be cautious in the great outdoors- you never know what hazards are hidden out there!
This is Bond. He came to us in October 2013, and was here for nearly two weeks because he was so ill. The family that he belongs to now, had found him the day before in a parking lot, cold and alone. The next day they brought him to the hospital for what they thought would just be a routine checkup because he had some diarrhea. The family did what ever it took to make him better, and eventually no one could resist this sweet little guy. He now is a permanent family member of the people that rescued him.
Bond looks great now, back in October he was very thin, he could not eat on his own and no one was sure if he would make it. His new family never gave up on him. He is so full of love, thanks to his second chance on life.
Meet Sally!!
Sally came to us in December 2012. She was found on the side of the road with severe trauma to her tail. After a few days of TLC we were able to confirm the trauma to her tail did not cause any nerve damage to her hindend. She was now fit to under go surgery. The plan was to spay her and amputate her tail. Sally recovered quickly and it was time to find her a forever home.
On Christmas eve Sally went to her new home. She now lives with her new family, 2 little boys that she loves and 2 dogs that she rules.
Meet Stanley!!
Stanley came to us as a stray back in November. He was about 5 or 6 months old and weighed only 3 pounds. Stanley had fleas and also a very swollen right front leg. Dr. Lawson examined him and found a large abscess over his elbow. He was treated with antibiotics, given pain medication and the wound was clipped and cleaned.
After a month on antibiotics, we were certain that what ever caused the infection in the front leg had also infiltrated the elbow and caused severe joint damage. The joint damage left him unable to use his front leg normally. It was decided , the best treatment for him would be to amputate the leg.
Two weeks after his neuter and amputation, on December 24th,2012, Stanley went to live with his forever family.
Bottle Babies!
Sunni, Bear and TJ came to the clinic in May, when they were only 10 days old. We took them in and nursed them back to health. Today Sunni is now 'Moo', she lives in Edmonton with her new brother and a very loving family.
TJ and Bear are living with their new family together in Lacombe. They now spend their days hanging out with two really cool bunnies and a very wonderful family.

Cold Boot Attacks Against Disk Encryption
Nice piece of research:
We show that disk encryption, the standard approach to protecting sensitive data on laptops, can be defeated by relatively simple methods. We demonstrate our methods by using them to defeat three popular disk encryption products: BitLocker, which comes with Windows Vista; FileVault, which comes with MacOS X; and dm-crypt, which is used with Linux.
The root of the problem lies in an unexpected property of today's DRAM memories. DRAMs are the main memory chips used to store data while the system is running. Virtually everybody, including experts, will tell you that DRAM contents are lost when you turn off the power. But this isn't so. Our research shows that data in DRAM actually fades out gradually over a period of seconds to minutes, enabling an attacker to read the full contents of memory by cutting power and then rebooting into a malicious operating system.
Interestingly, if you cool the DRAM chips, for example by spraying inverted cans of "canned air" dusting spray on them, the chips will retain their contents for much longer. At these temperatures (around -50 °C) you can remove the chips from the computer and let them sit on the table for ten minutes or more, without appreciable loss of data. Cool the chips in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) and they hold their state for hours at least, without any power. Just put the chips back into a machine and you can read out their contents.
This is deadly for disk encryption products because they rely on keeping master decryption keys in DRAM. This was thought to be safe because the operating system would keep any malicious programs from accessing the keys in memory, and there was no way to get rid of the operating system without cutting power to the machine, which "everybody knew" would cause the keys to be erased.
Our results show that an attacker can cut power to the computer, then power it back up and boot a malicious operating system (from, say, a thumb drive) that copies the contents of memory. Having done that, the attacker can search through the captured memory contents, find any crypto keys that might be there, and use them to start decrypting hard disk contents. We show very effective methods for finding and extracting keys from memory, even if the contents of memory have faded somewhat (i.e., even if some bits of memory were flipped during the power-off interval). If the attacker is worried that memory will fade too quickly, he can chill the DRAM chips before cutting power.
There seems to be no easy fix for these problems. Fundamentally, disk encryption programs now have nowhere safe to store their keys. Today's Trusted Computing hardware does not seem to help; for example, we can defeat BitLocker despite its use of a Trusted Platform Module.
The paper is here; more info is here. Articles here.
There is a general security problem illustrated here: it is very difficult to secure data when the attacker has physical control of the machine the data is stored on. I talk about the general problem here, and it's a hard problem.

[UPDATE February 6, 2014] – Quickguns has been completely recut and remastered from the original source footage. This is a new edit of the film with a new opening title, credit roll and previously unseen shots. The gun muzzle flashes and sound effects have also been left out for a cleaner look. The film has been upscaled to 1080p high definition. Although the original source footage was shot in standard defintion, this new upscaled version is cleaner for watching on HD televisions and monitors.
A thief breaks into a gunman's house looking to steal a disc containing important information and get out. However the gunman Gabriel Vigario hears something and upon investigating, the two discover each other and quickly take action.
QuickGuns is a test film we made back in 2003 to try out some muzzle flashes (removed in 2014 version) and gun play action scenes. However a bigger story is being developed out of the Gabriel Vigario (gunman) character. That story is being written right now into a feature length screenplay.
Running time: 2:13
Flash File Size: 8MB's
Year: January 2003
Format: DV
Camera: JVC DVM75U
Music: Edgen Animations (http://www.edgen.com)
Cost: priceless
Shoot time: 3 hours
1. Why is he stealing a blank CD case?
We were trying to be cool and used a clear CD thinking it would come off as a futuristic version of what are called holographic discs currently in development.
2. Why are the only sounds (besides the music) from the guns?
As said this was a test film to test out action gun play. Guns, especially fake guns come off looking more real when they are presented with sound effects and muzzles flashes.
[UPDATE 2014] The new 2014 remaster of the film has no sound effects, only music.

Three Ways to tell if You Have Found the Best Investor to Buy Your Mortgage Notes
If you are looking for a mortgage note buyer, it is very important for you to do your homework first. Since there are many different companies that have entered this business, you should know what criteria is best to use. Specifically, when you are comparing your needs versus the mortgage company that you are dealing with at that time. So, for those you who are considering selling a mortgage note, here are a few ways that you can make the best decision possible.
1. Look for the Company's Accreditation
Just like with any financial institution that you are dealing with, there are some keys to making a good decision. Some of which are common in any industry, especially when it comes to ensuring a company has the right accreditations. For instance, Amerinote Exchange note buyers is now being reported by the better business bureau with a rating of A+. So, if you are looking for a mortgage note investment company that is accredited, you should check the BBB and the associated rating that the company has as its credit.
2. Professional and Extraordinary Service
Once you are in the market for selling your mortgage note to any company, you should pay close attention to the services that they provide to their clients. Because of the amount of money involved in these financial transactions, each member of the company must be professional, while also offering superior customer services with every question and response. For instance, you should feel comfortable in trusting the these mortgage investors with your business.
#3. Are You looking for a Note Broker or a Direct Note Buyer?
Before you start the process of finding the best investor for your mortgage note, you should know and understand the differences between the note broker and the direct note buyer. Pay close attention to what you are doing here because there are some major differences between each type. Two of the most commonly known are those that have been provided for you below.
– Note Broker:
The note broker is the middle man between you and the direct note buyer. The role that the note broker plays is significant and costly too. Therefore, you may have to pay them thousands of dollars in order to obtain their services. So, it is essential that you are familiar with what they do and what they charge in fees before you hire them to complete your transactions.
– Direct Note Buyer:
The direct note buyer cuts out the middleman and allows you to handle the business directly without added fees. However, you will need to do the work of the note broker when you are making the deal. In either event, you can make the choice that will fit your needs and circumstances best.
Finding the best investor to buy your mortgage notes may not be as simple as some people may think. However, there are some guidelines that can be followed to find the best. Three of the more commonly known include looking for their accreditation and their professional services.

Intense rainfall in northeast Argentina and neighbouring areas in Mercosur members has caused devastating floods, amplifying the economic burdens of Argentina's recession. Over 5,000 people have evacuated the region, and millions of hectares of crops have been sent underwater.
The flooded region, which extends into Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil, has received about five times more rain than expected since the beginning of the year. Some areas received a whole year's worth of rainfall in the first 15 days of the calendar year.
Damages to farmland ring in around US$2 billion, according Coninagro, an Intercooperative Agricultural Confederation based in Buenos Aires. The group reported that 2.4 million hectares of soybeans are flooded. The greatest losses come from the Pampa Húmeda region, one of the main food producers in the world. Other crops like corn and cotton, along with livestock have suffered across the Northeast.
In Uruguay some 1.500 people have been evacuated to temporary housing because of flooding and much of the highways network has been seriously damaged with some bridges washed away. Rains have hit wheat harvesting, soybean and rice plantations. Overflowed hydroelectric dams have been forced to ease water further aggravating the situation. However for cattle breeding in Uruguay, pastures are abundant.
Just last year, Argentina was plagued with severe drought, the worst that had hit the country in half a century. This drought crushed the country's agricultural sector and strained the country's economy. It's blamed in part for the current run on Argentine currency.

Heavy rains can waterlog growing crops or interfere with key sowing and re-seeding processes, Coningrado said. And in provinces like Corrientes, where water has reached in some places nearly two meters deep, herds of cattle and other livestock can be displaced.
If the rain keeps coming, farmland will continue to be aggravated since there is a limit to what the soil can absorb. Forecast models show that rain will continue in the affected areas over the next two weeks. Soils should begin to dry by mid-February, an analyst from Refinitiv Agriculture.
Any further rain could have serious economic implications, Julio Calzada, chief economist of the Rosario Cereal Exchange said. The harvest will depend on the climate and the economy will depend to a great extent on the harvest, Calzada said. The concern is that the volatility of the climate could continue until the end of January.

Scary New Superbug Is Popping Up in More Places
Colistin-resistant E. coli has been in the U.S. more than a year—and other countries are seeing the superbug morph into new threats.
The "new superbug" MCR—actually a gene, carried by gut bacteria, that confers resistance to the absolutely last-ditch antibiotic colistin—has been in the United States for at least a year, according to a new report.
The gene was first identified last year and caused a flurry of alarm when it was spotted for the first time in the U.S. in May, after being found in bacteria from people, animals and meat in more than 30 countries.
That first U.S. identification came from a just-diagnosed woman in Pennsylvania. But in a letter posted Monday by the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, researchers from JMI Laboratories in Iowa say they have found a second instance of MCR that is more than a year old. It was found in a stored sample of E. coli that was collected in May 2015 in New York.
The new discovery confirms that the Pennsylvania case was not the first MCR-related infection in the U.S., but only the first to be found—making it a reasonable assumption that there are others that have not been identified yet.
Also, in both patients the bacteria harboring the gene were susceptible to other antibiotics—which raises the possibility that this new resistance factor may be less of an immediate health threat, and more like a time bomb with an unpredictably long fuse.
But along with new European research announced last week and a troubling new finding reported today, the U.S. discovery reinforces that for medicine and public health to protect the population from that time bomb going off—that is, from the arrival of completely untreatable infections—they will need to start doing a lot more looking for MCR than they do now.
New 'First' Case
Some details on the New York finding: JMI Laboratories is a private company that tests bacteria sent in by hospitals around the world. The testing is commissioned by antibiotics manufacturers who want to see how existing drugs are holding up, and to gauge the vulnerability of bacteria to new compounds. The system under which hospitals send in bacterial samples is called SENTRY; it has been drawing thousands of samples a year from almost 200 hospitals around the globe since 1997.
JMI holds on to samples after initial testing, and periodically does fresh research with them. The new publication draws on those collections of bacteria.
The researchers at JMI looked for colistin resistance in 21,006 E. coli and Klebsiella samples collected in 2014 and 2015; they found 390 that were resistant. Then they used PCR (a test that returns a genetic fingerprint resembling a bar code) to see whether those bacteria were resistant because they possessed the gene mcr-1. Nineteen of them were: eight collected in 2014 and 11 from 2015. The samples came from Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Russia, and Spain, and a single one from New York.
Mariana Castanheira, PhD, one of JMI's research directors, told me the lab doesn't know anything yet about the patient the sample came from. "We know it was a gastrointestinal sample," she said by phone, adding that the hospital where it was collected "is investigating the clinical history."
The E. coli from the patient's system also possessed ESBL resistance, meaning it would not have responded to penicillins or to cephalosporin antibiotics. But, Castanheira said, "It was susceptible to carbapenems, to nitrofurantoin, to fosfomycin, and to new compounds that have just been approved by the FDA."
Rapid Spread
MCR resistance has generated so much concern because the gene mcr-1 resides on a plasmid, a small piece of DNA that can move freely from one bacterium to others. When resistance is plasmid-mediated, it spreads more quickly among bacteria than if it were passed down from one generation of bacteria to the next. Plus, resistance DNA carried on plasmids can stack up in bacteria like cards in a poker hand, rendering those bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics even if they have never been exposed to the drugs.
Castanheira said her lab has not yet determined whether this mcr-1 is on a plasmid or not. "We're working on that now, and we expect there will be another publication," she said.
The new MCR finding reinforces the prediction made to me a few weeks ago by distinguished microbiologist Barry Kreiswirth of Rutgers, that as institutions scour their bacterial collections for any instance of the gene, more instances of MCR that have been in the U.S. for a while will be found.
"I think we can expect more cases are going to be reported," Jean Patel, a microbiologist and the Deputy Director at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office of Antimicrobial Resistance, told me. "Our best predictions right now are that they would just trickle in at a slow rate, because we think this is still a very rare event."
What's Next
To keep MCR from becoming more common, a few things are necessary. First is finding out where it is lurking, which requires more testing. Patel said most clinical labs don't routinely test for colistin resistance. (In fact, the first MCR discovered in the U.S. was found only because the Department of Defense, which operates the outpatient clinic where the Pennsylvania woman was treated, had set up a special surveillance project.)
Recognizing that the gene is present would let the public health system push to increase infection prevention in hospitals, and also to avoid using colistin—because using a drug that bacteria are resistant to has the paradoxical effect of encouraging those bacteria to multiply. And when bacteria have acquired resistance to multiple drugs through plasmids, using any of those drugs can increase the spread of all of those resistance factors.
But news from Europe, released last Thursday in the journal Eurosurveillance and also today in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, reinforces how complicated—and urgent—finding MCR may turn out to be.
The finding announced last week comes from a group of Belgian scientists who made news in January when they found more than 12 percent of 105 pigs and calves from different parts of Belgium were silently carrying mcr-1 in their feces. (Colistin is widely used in European agriculture, unlike the U.S., which has probably contributed to the spread of MCR resistance there.) Now they have gone back through the samples from that study, and discovered that some of the animals were also carrying a related gene that they have dubbed mcr-2.
The new gene was more common than mcr-1 in the E. coli samples taken from pigs: in 11 out of 53, compared to 7 out of 53. It also resides on a plasmid, and it appears to have genetic elements that make it more able to move between bacteria than mcr-1 does. However, it shares only about three-fourths of the genetic material of mcr-1. Thus, the scientists warned, the newly identified gene may be missed by the tests that countries are scrambling to set up to search for MCR.
And in a development that medicine has been braced for, Italian researchers say today that they have found yet another variant of the superbug gene, mcr-1.2, in a child hospitalized with leukemia in Florence. That variant, like mcr-1 and the newly named mcr-2, creates resistance to the very last-resort antibiotic colistin.
But what especially rang their alarm bells is that they found the gene in a strain of bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae, that was already resistant to the almost-last-resort antibiotic class, carbapenems, and to several other classes as well. Those bacteria are known by the acronym KPC, and since the early 2000s, they have spread through hospitals around the world. So the Italian discovery signals two things that medicine has feared: that MCR has landed in bacteria that are already good at spreading through healthcare, and that it has begun the process of stacking up in bacteria, alongside other resistance DNA, on the way to creating what could be a truly untreatable bug.

When many individuals think of fish tank accessories, decorations are often the first thing that comes to mind. Of course, fish tank decorations are ideal, especially if your fish tank is prominently displayed in your home or in your office, but fish tank décor is not all that fish tank accessories include. In fact, there are a few fish tank accessories that may end up being vital the survival of your fish or other fish tank inhabitants. Those accessories include protein skimmers and aquarium chillers.
If you own fish now or have in the past, you likely already know how easy it is for the tank water to change. Unfortunately, that change isn't always good. Overtime, nitrate buildup can occur. That buildup makes it difficult for the fish inside your tank to breathe. It does so by eliminating the amount of oxygen that the water inside your tank receives. Oxygen is important to all fish, including other marine animals. That is why, if you don't already have a protein skimmer for your fish tank, you are advised to purchase one, as soon as possible.
While it is important to know what a protein skimmer is and how it can help you and your fish, you may be wondering more about them. Protein skimmers, like a number of other fish tank accessories, come in a number of different sizes and styles. How your protein skimmer works will all depend on the make and model that you decide to purchase. Despite a variation among protein skimmers, you will find that most either hang on the side of the tank or have a sump hook-up. In fact, a large number of protein skimmers allow you to do either. Collection cups and water level adjustment dials also come standard with many protein skimmers.
As previously mentioned, aquarium chillers are another fish tank accessory that you should purchase, if you don't already have one. There are a large number of fish and other fish tank inhabitants that need to have a specific water temperature. In fact, this water temperature may be vital to their survival. Unfortunately, it is impossible to accurately control your fish tank's water temperature without the right equipment. That is why it is advised that consider purchasing an aquarium chiller.
Although you might assume that your fish tank's water temperature is too cold, you may be wrong. Actually, the problem, in most cases, is that the water temperature gets too high. With fish tank lightening, often high intensity lighting, it is relatively easy for the water inside your fish tank to heat up to an uncomfortable level. That is where an aquarium chiller may come in and help. Aquarium chillers are often compared to kitchen refrigerators, with the way that they help to keep the water cool. With most aquarium chillers having a low noise output or no output at all, you may not even notice that they are there.
If you do not have, but you would like to purchase an aquarium chiller or a protein skimmer, you will need to find a place to make your purchase from. Although your first thought may be to head down to your local pet store or pet supply store, you may want to save yourself a trip. A large number of pet stores or pet supply stores are limited on the types of products that they carry. This means that one of your local pet stores may not even have aquarium chillers or protein skimmers in stock. If they do have them in stock, there is a good chance that the available selection would be relatively small. That is why you may want to think about doing your fish tank accessory shopping online, with a company such as FishTanksDirect.com.
With FishTanksDirect.com, you will find a relatively large selection of protein skimmers and aquarium chillers to choose from. Even if you are shopping on a budget, you should be able to find exactly what you need for your fish tank. For example, FishTankDirect.com has aquarium chillers that start selling around four hundred dollars. As for protein skimmers, they tend to start retailing at around one hundred dollars each. Essentially, this means that no matter what your budget is, you should be able to purchase the fish tank accessories that may make your fish tank the perfect home for your underwater friends.
About the Author: Protein Skimmers is a great filtration option for your saltwater fish tank. An Aquarium Chiller can also reduce fish stress.

the MAMAS who clean together…
Our business was born during a day of housecleaning.
During a walk with our dogs, we had mourned the days when we had jobs that warranted hiring people to keep our homes tidy for us and how the feeling of "everything clean at once" was not happening now that we were stay at home moms. Oh, everyone was fed and clothed and breathing, but our homes would get vacuumed and dusted or the kitchen was clean for 30 minutes, but never all at the same time. So we thought we'd try cleaning both of our homes TOGETHER at the same time in one 5 hour period of time.
And it worked! I would vacuum and dust at her house while she cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms and floors and we would swap roles at my house, spending 2.5 hours on each home. Of course Jumping Castle the day before we would do laundry, change sheets, put away mounds of toys and shoes and junk and HAIR ACCESSORIES in preparation for our cleaning day. The point is IT WORKED! And we chatted while we worked and asked important questions and caught up on each other's daily lives.
Here's the thing… when your friend is vacuuming in the other room you CANNOT stop and chat with your mother on the phone for 45 minutes. While she dusts you don't get rabbit-trailed into another side project when you should be scrubbing the tub. You use every loving minute of that 2.5 hours to stay completely focused so that when times up your house is totally clean!
Those were purposeful days. And on one such day, during a hypothetical conversation about how we would spend all of our time when our youngest kids went to school full time in the fall, our business was born. And now we don't clean house together anymore, we just don't really have that luxury of time. But I miss those days spent serving my best friend and being served by her. Rich times indeed!
3 Responses on "the MAMAS who clean together…"
Really great piece of information.Enjoyed reading it…
What a wonderful idea! Now I just need to find a willing friend!
We highly recommend it!

A combined application of boundary-element and Runge-Kutta methods in three-dimensional elasticity and poroelasticity
Research Institute for Mechanics, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhni Novgorod, 23 Prospekt Gagarina, Bld. 6, 603950 Nizhni Novgorod, Russia

Published online: 7 September 2015
The report presents the development of the time-boundary element methodology and a description of the related software based on a stepped method of numerical inversion of the integral Laplace transform in combination with a family of Runge-Kutta methods for analyzing 3-D mixed initial boundary-value problems of the dynamics of inhomogeneous elastic and poro-elastic bodies. The results of the numerical investigation are presented. The investigation methodology is based on direct-approach boundary integral equations of 3-D isotropic linear theories of elasticity and poroelasticity in Laplace transforms. Poroelastic media are described using Biot models with four and five base functions. With the help of the boundary-element method, solutions in time are obtained, using the stepped method of numerically inverting Laplace transform on the nodes of Runge-Kutta methods. The boundary-element method is used in combination with the collocation method, local element-by-element approximation based on the matched interpolation model. The results of analyzing wave problems of the effect of a non-stationary force on elastic and poroelastic finite bodies, a poroelastic half-space (also with a fictitious boundary) and a layered half-space weakened by a cavity, and a half-space with a trench are presented. Excitation of a slow wave in a poroelastic medium is studied, using the stepped BEM-scheme on the nodes of Runge-Kutta methods.

Recap New York Fashion Week FW2019
New York Fashion Week might have scaled down a bit, we're as inspired as ever for what's to come. To give you a short summery of the #nyfw highlights and to inform you on what styles you might be wearing six months from now we've selected the biggest trends for the new season.
So far it seems the aw2019 season is going to be a colorful one, purple being the main color of choice (Michael Kors, Sies Marjan, Anna Sui). The dress up game is either classic and super feminine – think: Victorian collars (Marc Jacobs, Zimmerman), cinched waists (Prabal Gurung, Proenza Schouler) and glamorous feather skirts – or androgynous and sharp – & crispy white – (Prabal Gurung, Ralph Lauren, Proenza Schouler).
Interesting were the quilted evening gowns Oscar de la Renta sent out, amazing how the label turned such heavy fabrics into elegant dresses. Talking heavy fabrics, the patchwork trend made it's way onto the runway too (Prabal Gurung, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta).
And good news for anyone who isn't planning on giving up his/her collection of leopard printed fashion pieces: the trend is here to stay (Marc Jacobs, Coach, Anna Sui).
Below our galleries of all the above trends, a first sneak peek for the upcoming season, FW2019.
Crisp & Sharp
Animal prints
Victorian collars

Undertaking transformations can take a toll on leadership. That's why it's important to regroup and reenergize for the second half to ensure success. Sarah Elk, a partner with Bain's Results Delivery® practice, discusses the six questions leadership teams should ask themselves at the 12- to 24-month mark of transformations.
Read the Bain Brief: Fighting the Battle for Energy
Read the transcript below.
SARAH ELK: Transformations are tough. They can really take a toll on a leadership team. And usually at about the 12- to 24-month mark you need to take the time to reenergize for the second half, and have a good conversation with the leadership team, to regroup and make a game plan. Typically that involves answering a series of questions.
First would be starting with success. What have we achieved together? And that's collectively and individually. And taking the time to really appreciate what each member of the team has brought to you as an individual, and sharing that across the team.
Next is why did we start all of this? And reconnecting with the purpose and mission of the transformation and the overall ambition and goal for what the leadership team is trying to achieve. Also the teams need to reflect on what we've learned. How the team has grown together, but also what we've learned about the business and what that might mean for the second half.
In addition, it's important to acknowledge how the market competitors or customers have changed. And so the original plan that you had set out in the beginning may need some adjustments given how forces outside the company have changed. And then aligning on the goals ahead of us, and what are the priorities and things that we're going to take on as part of that game plan in the second half.
And lastly, it's the personal commitment of the team, and taking a moment for each member of the team to recommit to each other, because it's tough. Every leadership team hits a wall at some point in the middle of the transformation. And it's important to take the time to step back and reflect and reenergize on that game plan for the second half.
Fighting the Battle for Energy: How to Reenergize Your Transformation for Its Second Half
Every leadership team has its own dynamic, just as every CEO leads in his or her own way.
