XenApp and XenDesktop offer a secure-by-design solution that allows you to tailor your environment to your security needs.
One security concern IT faces with mobile workers is lost or stolen data. By hosting applications and desktops, XenApp and XenDesktop securely separate sensitive data and intellectual property from end-point devices by keeping all data in a data center. When policies are enabled to allow data transfer, all data is encrypted.
The XenDesktop and XenApp data centers also make incident response easier with a centralized monitoring and management service. Director allows IT to monitor and analyze data that is being accessed around the network, and Studio allows IT to patch and remedy most vulnerabilities in the data center instead of fixing the problems locally on each end-user device.
XenApp and XenDesktop also simplify audits and regulatory compliance because investigators can use a centralized audit trail to determine who accessed what applications and data. Director gathers historical data regarding updates to the system and user data usage by accessing Configuration Logging and OData API.
Delegated Administration allows you to set up administrator roles to control access to XenDesktop and XenApp at a granular level. This allows flexibility in your organization to give certain administrators full access to tasks, operations, and scopes while other administrators have limited access.
XenApp and XenDesktop give administrators granular control over users by applying policies at different levels of the network - from the local level to the Organizational Unit level. This control of policies determines if a user, device, or groups of users and devices can connect, print, copy/paste, or map local drives, which could minimize security concerns with third-party contingency workers. Administrators can also use the Desktop Lock feature so end users can only use the virtual desktop while preventing any access to the local operating system of the end-user device.
Administrators can increase security on XenApp or XenDesktop by configuring the Site to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol of the Controller or between end users and Virtual Delivery Agents (VDA). The protocol can also be enabled on a Site to provide server authentication, data stream encryption, and message integrity checks for a TCP/IP connection.
XenApp and XenDesktop also support multifactor authentication for Windows or a specific application. Multifactor authentication could also be used to manage all resources delivered by XenApp and XenDesktop. These methods include:
XenDesktop can be integrated with many third-party security solutions, ranging from identity management to antivirus software. A list of supported products can be found at http://www.citrix.com/ready.
Select releases of XenApp and XenDesktop are certified for Common Criteria standard. For a list of those standards, go to http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/cc/.

Chapter 7, Modesty and the Poetry of Love Summary and Analysis
As previously mentioned, romantic relationships pose a threat to the patrilineal social structure that the Bedouins hold dear. Because these romantic relationships are considered somewhat subversive, they are a common topic for ghinnawa poetry. One of the most common themes in poetry about love is thwarted love. Arranged marriage is the culturally accepted model of marriage among the Awlad 'Ali. Families have the right to arrange marriages for their children. Many of these marriages end up being long lasting, but some arranged marriages are miserable.
Oftentimes, the reason for misery in arranged marriages is that one or both partners wanted to marry somebody else. This, therefore, is a topic often mentioned in ghinnawa poetry. The author talked with the Haj about this, and he told her that there were...

How Can I Dispose of Fallen Leaves?
Date: November 6, 2015
There are several ways to clean up the leaves in your yard. The options include blowing them away in a nearby forest, waiting for leaf vacuum trucks to take them away or allowing them to decompose naturally. Follow these tips to learn more leaf removal options:
- Contact your local town officials and ask them about the fall cleanup policy. Your municipality may have specific regulations on how to dispose of leaves and should give you the necessary instructions.
- If you own a piece of land (woods or fields) near your property, use a leaf blower to blow the leaves into these areas where they can decompose. First, check whether your town has ordinances controlling leaf blowing.
- Gather the leaves into piles using a rake or leaf blower and put them into bags. Some local governments send trucks to pick up leaves each fall, so have the bags ready when they come.
- Alternatively, if you know your town sends leaf vacuum trucks each fall, gather the leaves into piles at the curb and wait for the trucks to come and take them away.
- WARNING: when gathering leaves at the curb, don't block the fire hydrants or the storm drains and make sure you don't park cars near the piles to avoid fire hazards.
- An earth-friendly option is to shred the leaves (using a lawn mower with a mulching blade) and leave them on the lawn to decompose naturally. This not only enriches the soil, but it's a faster way to dispose of leaves, too.
- Add the leaves and other carbon-rich plant material to your existing compost piles. You can also make a new compost pile from the leaves and dead plants in your yard. Just keep them moist and turn them periodically.
- Burning leaves is not recommended, as it causes pollution, health problems and fire hazards. Keep in mind that burning is banned in some states. However, if you choose to do so, find out if and when your town permits burning and take all the safety measures.
Large piles of leaves can sometimes result in accidental fires, so keep a fire extinguisher or sand nearby just in case. For professional fire, mold and water restoration services, contact your local PuroClean office.
PuroClean is a leading commercial and residential restoration franchising company. Founded in 2001, the company offers fire and water cleanup and restoration services, mold mitigation and remediation, and biohazard cleanup and removal throughout the United States and Canada through its franchise network of 240 offices.

Legislation to rewrite the 1934 Communications Act will be assigned to the congressional fast track, with final passage possible as soon as July 4, the new chairman of the House telecommunications subcommittee said Jan. 24.
An optimistic Rep. Jack Fields (R-Texas), only 20 days on the job, said a House bill will be introduced by mid-February, concurrent with hearings to be completed by month's end. A consensus bill is expected to follow a parallel track in the Senate, he said.
Although he declined to offer specifics, Fields told a luncheon gathering of the Media Institute that the bill will include many of the concepts included in last year's measure. But he said it would be "more pro-competitive" than the version that died at the 11th hour of the congressional term.
It will include provisions affecting broadcast ownership, cable TV and telco issues, children's television and international competition. "We are not going to have the train wreck that occurred in the Senate last year," he vowed.
The bill will reflect fundamental Republican interests, such as "unleashing the capital that is parked on the side of the information superhighway." That includes ensuring that foreign markets are opened to U.S. media companies, he said.
He said congressional Republicans gained valuable insight into the concerns of communications companies during last week's Capitol Hill powwow of media chieftains.

By GILLIAN WONG
Associated Press
A Chinese court sentenced the nephew of legal activist Chen Guangcheng to more than three years in jail for assault in a hurried, suddenly announced trial Friday that his parents were barred from attending.
The punishment against Chen Kegui is seen as retaliation by local officials angered by Chen Guangcheng's daring escape from house arrest in April. Chen, who is blind, fled to the U.S. Embassy and set off a diplomatic tussle between Beijing and Washington that embarrassed the central government.
Friday's surprise trial and sentencing were the final steps in the seven-month-long, secretive prosecution of Chen Kegui since he clashed with officials who barged into his house looking for his uncle.
At every step of the legal process, his supporters say, Chinese authorities have showed their willingness to run roughshod over justice in order to achieve their political aims. They blocked his wife and parents from seeing him and prevented them from hiring lawyers for him. His father found out about the trial only hours before it took place.
Chen Guangcheng said he was infuriated by the punishment of his nephew, who he says acted in self-defense as would anyone whose house had been raided by armed men in the middle of the night.
The Yinan County People's Court convicted Chen Kegui, 32, of attacking officials who stormed into his house looking for the activist, and sentenced him to three years and three months' imprisonment, said his father, Chen Guangfu.
The charge of "intentional injury" centers on allegations that Chen Kegui hacked at the officials with knives after he and his parents had been beaten.
The court prevented his parents from attending the trial, Chen Guangfu said, and dozens of police officers guarded the couple as they waited outside the courthouse.
But that was only the latest irregularity in the authorities' handling of the case.
Since Chen Kegui disappeared into police custody in May, Yinan authorities have not officially notified his family about the prosecution nor have they let family members see him or hire their own lawyers to defend him. Lawyers were instead appointed to him, and one of them told his father Chen Guangfu about the trial only on Friday morning.
Chen Guangfu said he was saddened by the verdict, coming just two weeks after a pivotal Communist Party meeting in Beijing in which a new group of leaders was unveiled.
A Human Rights Watch researcher said the conviction was a letdown for those who hoped China's new leaders would abide by the legal system they claim treats everyone fairly.
Chen Guangcheng is a self-taught legal activist who gained recognition for crusading for the disabled and fighting against forced abortions in his rural community. But he angered local officials and served four years in prison only to be released into an abusive and illegal house arrest.
Chen made a daring escape from his village in April and wound up in the protection of U.S. diplomats, triggering a diplomatic standoff over his fate. An agreement was made to send him to the U.S. to study law at New York University.
Beijing activist and Chen's friend Hu Jia said he believed the authorities sought to pressure Chen Guangcheng into silence while overseas by putting his nephew in jail.

State of the City
Public safety was the centerpiece of Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland's first State of the City address, which he delivered last week in Frayser.
Strickland touted his administration's accomplishments, including shortening 911 answer times, paving more streets, and stabilizing the city's fiscal situation. But he said public safety remains the largest challenge for Memphis.
To tackle that challenge, Strickland hopes to hire hundreds of new Memphis Police Department (MPD) officers. The number of MPD officers was around 2,400 in the late 2000s, and that number has dwindled to just more than 1,900.
Strickland said the MPD has recently launched a violent crimes bureau to provide a more focused investigation of serious crimes. The unit will find and arrest violent and repeat offenders.
Midtown Market returns
The project to put apartments and retail space on the site of the shuttered hotel at Union and McLean is back, and developers want a 15-year tax break worth more than $6.6 million to build it.
Belz HRP Partners got a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) deal for the project in 2015 but were not able to get it off the ground.
The company unveiled a scaled-down version of its Midtown Market project last week in documents filed with the Center City Revenue Finance Corp. (CCRFC) in hopes of securing a new PILOT for the new project. Company officials said they can't afford to finance or build the project without the tax break.
In the new project, the four-story office building that fronts the southwest corner of Union and McLean will be razed in the new plan and replaced with new construction. The eight-story Artisan Hotel on the site will be converted into apartments. The new price tag for Midtown Market is $33.5 million, down from $43.5 million in 2015.
Lottery fight
Republican state Rep. Andy Holt and state Sen. Lee Harris, of Memphis, targeted the "predatory marketing tactics" found in Tennessee Lottery commercials with a new bill filed last week.
Holt said lottery television commercials seemed to suggest Tennesseans should buy lottery tickets instead of exchanging Christmas gifts, feeding themselves, or saving for a child's education.
"I have very publicly asked the Tennessee Lottery to ensure me (and the countless Tennesseans who are upset over these practices) that they would no longer run these types of ads," Holt said in a Wednesday news statement. "When the media asked them for comment, they had nothing to say, and they've said nothing to me."
The legislation will set up an independent commission to vet all lottery ads.
Race on Beale
Race will figure into the future of Beale Street's management as Memphis City Council members held a brief but pointed discussion about it last week.
Last year, the Beale Street Tourism Development Authority (BSTDA) agreed to allow the Downtown Memphis Commission to continue to manage the street. A local, African-American-led company called 21 Beale was passed over for that contract, a move that council member Joe Brown called "plain old racism."
The discussion continued last week with council member Janis Fullilove noting that, when it comes to Beale Street from a historical perspective, "We're not getting it." Council member Barbara Swearengen asked and was told that BSTDA member Jamal Whitlow, a black man, made the motion to not give the contract to 21 Beale.
The discussion will continue when the council meets next week.

Who doesn't love Cake? And I'm talking the food, AND the band.
I myself have been itching to see the boys again ever since an epic night in Central Park. Last night I was not only lucky enough to catch them on Conan a few minutes after Rebecca Romijn mentioned that her first ever "adult dream" was to the likes of Steve Martin, with Steve Martin sitting to her right. Anyway, talk of female ejaculation gets me pumped for anything, including a little bit of "Mustache Man"

Q: I've been playing electric bass for about five years, and I'm currently attending the third year in a Music Conservatory. When I play music while other musicians observe me (not the members of the band), I become quite uncomfortable. I feel judged, and my heart starts pounding, especially if it's someone I respect like a teacher or a skilled musician. Of course, this causes me to start messing up. This doesn't happen when I'm on the stage, I think because there is more space between the audience and me. I've tried to let it go, but as time goes on, my anxiety is growing. What do you recommend?
A: Although I recently answered a similar question in a recent column, this is slightly different, and I'll recommend something from a different angle.
In a nutshell, most every response I've given to a question throughout the course of my time writing for No Treble comes down to one basic idea:
Examine whatever it is that is giving you pause by tackling it slowly, methodically, and from as many differing perspectives as you can imagine. Back up any problem to its root and start there. Through time, thoughtful exploration, practice and experience comes the desired result.
What you're speaking of isn't stage fright but rather a hyper-awareness of yourself in the context of your surroundings. More to the point, an awareness (or perception) of people looking directly at you and not the group as a whole. It sounds like you are comfortable with yourself in the group context but less so in the one-on-one.
I don't think that's unusual. The closer the microscope is, the more aware you become with yourself.
Much of who we are musically can be traced back to who we are personally. I'm not even speaking of your "voice" here but rather a less conscious tendency inherent in your personality that may lead to any number of decisions while playing. This isn't true for everybody. Certainly, there are people who are shy one-on-one but find that they are totally comfortable when making music with and in front of people. The reverse is also true for some.
For many of us, though, who we are deep inside very much impacts who we are within a musical context. Some people feel the need to have all of the attention on them while others would rather blend. Some are team players (only want to enhance the overall musical statement) while others like to dictate how the game is played (musically talk over the other musicians and are less likely to follow when they can lead).
Some people prefer to be a part of the consensus but don't necessarily feel less comfortable speaking publicly (feel great when playing the role of the bass player but don't like to solo, for example).
Some may feel pressure to be somebody they are not but rather who they think they should be, or wish they could be.
These may be superficial examples, but I think they ring true for many people. I, for one, have spent some time examining my self-perceived deficiencies as a person and as a musician, and I continue to contemplate any correlations between the two. It sounds like you may not have tapped into who you are yet and are struggling with your identity. Of course, that's my armchair psychoanalysis of why you may feel uncomfortable with people looking at you too closely. Or, you may feel secure in your identity but have not yet spent the time necessary on the instrument to feel confident "speaking" yet. You are also young. This is not a fault, just a cruel reality of your level of experience. You haven't had the opportunity to build on the real world experiences musically to have the confidence you require.
I think this is a good thing! This means that you care very much about what you say, how you say it, and that what you say is thoughtful and honest. Thank you for caring and not wanting to BS your way through it all.
I would suggest you try a few things, both leading to having to do the same kind of work in the end:
- Explore any side of your personality (outside of music) that relates to the issues you're having as a player
- Then explore any issues as a player
- Force yourself to confront them head-on. In the end, the only way to tackle any task is to approach it mindfully and without fear. When you're scared, force yourself to continue on as if you weren't.
The real X factor is likely just experience and confidence, as it is with many things. The more experience you have with something, the better you understand that thing. This leads to higher levels of confidence. In short, if you're afraid of snakes, get a pet snake.
What does that mean, though?
You indicated that the bigger the stage, the more comfortable you are, regardless of the audience size (and without any non-band members nearby). I would recommend you start a duo with somebody and develop enough material to book some coffee shop gigs (or similar). I actually used to love taking gigs where the band was sonic wall-paper (no one is paying attention) because this allowed me a chance to explore things musically in a way that I wouldn't in a real concert setting (practicing on the gig, in a sense). This can also be a great way to get comfortable playing up close and personal, without everyone staring directly at you. Even if it's a coffee shop and people are sitting right next to you and watching, you can keep reminding yourself that this is just a coffee shop gig. No biggie. No one is expecting to hear the second coming of Jaco here. Just have fun.
Even better, book some solo shows! (Yikes, I know). Pre-record some loops, pads, backing tracks of any kind and force yourself to play in front of people with only you and your pedals, laptop, or whatever else you require. Talk about a way to confront your fears! You very well may be subjecting yourself to torture as far as your first gig goes, but I guarantee that if you persist, it will get better, you will get better, and you will develop a comfort level with it.
A slightly less terrifying way to go might be to simply invite your significant other or a friend or two to listen to you play a piece (a tune you're working on or anything else you feel like playing). It can be under the guise of wanting an opinion, constructive criticism or simply just a way to beta-test something you're working on. It doesn't matter the material or the way in which you present it. It only matters that you are forcing yourself to turn everyone's attention to yourself while you play in a safe environment.
As you can tell, I'm basically saying that the quickest route through your problem is to face it head-on. Even though it may feel like you are running into battle alone and only armed with a wiffle bat, I can guarantee you will survive and learn something in the process. Even if you only learn where your limitations are, the knowledge is still useful.
To a certain extent, if you are one who is naturally predisposed to be a bit self-conscious, there is no assurance that you can completely win the war without a determined fight. You may, at the very least, discover a way to deal with it or develop a functional relationship with it. I have had students who were wonderful players but could never get past their own insecurities and wound up quitting music all together. This is a total shame. I always felt that if they would only have addressed their insecurities head-on in their life than they would have broken through them musically as well.
Remember two things through all of this:
- No matter how badly your belly churns and how sweaty your palms get, there is nothing to be afraid of.
- Experience breeds confidence
I have a Nietzsche quote that always struck me as interesting. "What? A great man? I always see only the actor of his own ideal."
Initially, I thought he was calling most people a fraud but I think it's more likely that he is also saying that all of us are winging it to a certain extent and there are those (especially those great men) who have an image of who they believe they should be and act accordingly.
I encourage you to envision what your ideal image of yourself is both personally and musically and then foster that growth. Who do you wish to be? Be that. That is your optimal self and he already exists, he just needs you to do a little work first.
Readers, how about you? How have you faced your fears and conquered them? Please share your stories and advice in the comments.

State Museum to Display William Penn's Charter on Pennsylvania's 332nd Birthday
Feb 21, 2013, 02:12 EST
Family Friendly Activities Planned for Charter Day 2013
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The original Penn Charter that established Pennsylvania in 1681 will be on display for one week only at The State Museum of Pennsylvania. The document will go on display on Charter Day, Sunday, March 10, which is the 332nd birthday of Pennsylvania.
In 1681, England's King Charles II used the charter to grant the land that is now Pennsylvania to founder William Penn. It is sometimes referred to as the state's "birth certificate" and was Penn's personal copy.
"The charter is a tangible link to Pennsylvania's founding," James M. Vaughan, PHMC executive director said. "The fragile historical document is exhibited only once a year and for a very short time in special protective cases with low light and controlled temperature and humidity levels."
Also on display will be a Civil War era note written by Governor Andrew Curtin on June 16, 1863, ordering the defense of Pennsylvania's border from "the Rebel Invader." The document underscores the anxious days just before the Battle of Gettysburg, as General Lee's Confederate army crossed the Mason-Dixon Line.
The Charter and Curtin document will be exhibited from March 8 to March 17.

High End Private Residence
TRAC Builders was hired by the owner of this 1852 Burgess Nightingale Historic Home to complete a major makeover and redesign while still preserving much of the historic features of the home. Although structurally sound, the owner decided to upgrade many of the rooms and living spaces to accommodate their growing family of 6. Some of the amazing features include an outdoor patio what was enclosed and turned into a light filled day room as well as a state of the art kitchen. One of the most striking features of the property include the outdoor patio area added as well as the rooftop deck that is perched high atop College Hill offering spectacular view of downtown Providence. TRAC was successfully able to complete this old meets new project by incorporating modern systems into the historic structure in order to preserve the historic integrity of the home.

Alone on a desolate planet. Or is he?
This experimental lo-fi sci-fi charts a voyage through space to another world. Although the monsters may lie much closer to home...
Props from the film were also used by David Bowie's production team for his penultimate music video, Blackstar.
The film was painstakingly edited by hand, using optical effects to create an authentic, vintage style.

Vin Diesel has one of the largest and most loyal fan-bases on Facebook, totaling more than 42 million fans. On "Conan," the actor said that he loves interacting with his fan, and they love the honest communication back and forth. Another thing they live is creating art inspired by their favorite action star.
Conan O'Brien had some of the more unusual pieces on hand to discuss with Diesel. Fans had a strange close-up image of Diesel's eyes with an elephant superimposed in between them, cat collages, Diesel as a baby, an angel, a dragon and even one image that made him look like an alien.
Check out more images from Diesel's one-of-a-kind fans with a gallery over at Gawker. And they're surely hard at work on the next batch to be inspired by Diesel's work in "Fast & Furious 6."
Find your own inspiration by watching Vin Diesel in "Fast & Furiuos 6," in theaters now. "Conan" airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET on TBS.

What to CookBread
Why You Should Be Baking Your Rolls with Bacon and Brown Sugar Butter
In 2015, we learned that we love rolls with gourds and tubers in them—give us a roll with sweet potatoes or squash and watch it disappear. In 2016, we learned that bacon on sweet potato rolls makes them infinitely better.
These sweet potato rolls are delicious on their own, but what makes them delicious enough to bake again (and again) is the bacon and brown sugar butter that's added on top of each. The bacon, combined in a food processor with brown sugar, isn't overwhelmingly meaty on top of the rolls. Instead, it's a crispy, sweet (and slightly bacon-y) topping that would tempt us to eat just the top of these pull-apart rolls—if the flaky texture of the bottoms wasn't so good, too.
The Potato (and Squash) Rolls of 2015:
The Bacon-Topped Sweet Potato Roll of 2016:
- 12 bacon slices, cooked crisp
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup water, warmed to 80° F
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 whole egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour or bread flour, plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil, to grease bowl
What are some of your favorite things to put on rolls? Will you be trying bacon brown butter? Tell us in the comments below!

Sea Salt Caramels
I could eat caramel every day. I love it more than chocolate (shocking, I know) and when you throw salt on top of the caramel is is pretty much heaven. Ina Garten makes these Fleur de Sel caramels that look amazing but I a) don't regularly keep expensive salt in my house, and b) I don't have the patience that it takes to make a big sheet of caramel and roll it up into cute little treats like Ina does. I tried it once and it ended up being one big, sticky, lopsided caramel pinwheel disaster.
Most of the time, the best ideas that come with online recipes are the comments that people leave about them. They have new and interesting ways to make something, and are always good about calling someone out if there is something off about the recipe. Even someone as world-renowned as THE Barefoot Contessa. Missing the comments is what I did wrong the first time I tried to make these caramels because the amount of sugar and cream are all out of whack. Pretty much every comment talks about the ingredient changes that need to be made to avoid a gooey mess, and there is also the brilliant idea to avoid the whole rolling aspect of the candies and just put the caramel into a smaller pan and cut them up into delicious little nuggets. Why didn't I think of that?!
Sea Salt Caramels
1 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup 1/4 cup water 1 cup heavy cream 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Line the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan (or loaf pan) with parchment paper, allowing the paper to drape over the sides.
Bring the cream, butter, and 1 teaspoon sea salt to a simmer in a small pan over medium heat. Remove it from the heat, set aside and keep warm.
In a deep saucepan combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil until the caramel is a warm golden brown color. Don't stir - just swirl the pan to mix. Watch carefully, as it will burn quickly at the end!
When the caramelized sugar is the a golden color, slowly add in the cream mixture - be ready for it to boil up! It is somewhat scary in the moment, but it goes down quickly. Stir in the vanilla and cook over medium heat for 10 or so minutes, until the mixture reaches 248 degrees F (firm ball) on a candy thermometer. Keep a close eye on the thermometer because there is a very fine line between an undercooked caramel that never forms into the bite-sized pieces that you are looking for, and having caramel hard candies. Walk that line with caution! Very carefully (it's hot!) pour the caramel into the prepared pan and refrigerate until firm.
When the caramels are cool, use the parchment paper to pry the sheet from the pan onto a cutting board, and cut the caramels up into small pieces. Or big pieces. Whatever makes you happy. Then sprinkle a dash of sea salt on top. I found that the bottoms of the caramels were moister (I dunno, maybe something with the fridge), so I made the bottom into the top so that the salt would stick better.
If you are going to be giving these as a gift, put parchment papers in 6 by 4 1/2-inch squares and wrap each caramel in a paper, twisting the ends. Store in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

One of the generally undiscovered treats of connecting all the devices in your home is powerline networking. Most Canadians rely primarily on Wi-Fi to connect devices such as game consoles to their home networks. With a quality router you can happily stream HD-quality movies from the office PC to the Xbox 360 connected to the TV or to another PC on the second floor. Wireless networking has become a relatively simple and efficient way to build a home network and most of us use that method to beam content from room to room.
However, some devices such as the Slingbox Pro HD and HD HomeRun cannot connect to your home network wirelessly. They need to be plugged into a router or a switch, which proved logistically impossible in my case. My living room and office are on opposite ends of the house, and there was no way I was going to string Ethernet cords through the front hallway, around the dining room and into the den. But a powerline Ethernet device – essentially using my home's electrical wiring to convey data to and from my router and living room devices – would do the trick.
Off the shelf, a powerline networking device comes with two adapters. You connect one unit to your router with an Ethernet cord and then plug it into an electrical outlet nearby. The second unit plugs into an outlet near the TV and then to one or more of your networked devices. Some powerline products allow you to connect as many as four devices at once, others just one. And just like the different flavours of Wi-Fi (802.11 a, b, g and n), powerline networking devices are rated by a trade group called the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. Products are rated as HomePlug 1.0, HomePlug AV1 and HomePlug AV2 and transfer speeds of various devices range from 85 megabits per second to 500 Mbps.
Sling Media sent their SlingLink Turbo powerline adapter ($89.99) along with the Slingbox Pro HD and though setup was effortless, neither the Slingbox nor the HD HomeRun could connect to the network. The HomePlug 1.0 device has a top data transfer speed of 85 Mbps – too slow for my setup. Even making sure that both ends of the powerline device were plugged directly into wall sockets – power bars are not recommended – didn't ensure a strong enough connection to sling HD video.
As a test, I plugged the little Asus EeeBox into the SlingTurbo, disconnected the PC from my wireless network and then navigated to a broadband speed test website. Normally when i check internet speed on my main PC, I hit between 25 Mbps or 30 Mbps, which corresponds to my internet package. Running the test on the Asus showed a transfer speed of 5 Mbps. While that isn't exactly an accurate reflection of network speed, by comparison a Netgear Powerline device supplied by Best Buy returned speeds of 25 Mbps.
Yet even the Netgear HomePlug AV2 device ($129.99), which has data transfer speeds of up to 200 Mbps, was not fast enough to stream HD video from the TV. While the HD HomeRun could stream standard definition content, HD programming froze up. The Slingbox setup detected the antenna but got stuck in an endless loop in the middle of the configuration process.
There are two likely explanations for this: The Netgear HomePlug is a four-port device, meaning you can connect four separate devices to it. While you can designate which devices should get priority on the network, the more devices I connected seemed to dilute the connection. Also, powerline devices work best if the wall sockets between TV and router are connected with the same wire. The further you separate them, the weaker the connection.
I made another call to Best Buy and this time they sent me a D-Link PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch Kit ($149.99), rated as having speeds of up to 500 Mbps. That did the trick. I set up the Slingbox Pro HD in about five minutes, and got the HD HomeRun streaming HD video smoothly. As well, the four ports allowed me to connect the home theatre PC and my Xbox at the same time, all of which performed flawlessly.
The lesson in all of this, for me at least, is to go for broke from the start. No messing around with anything less than 500 Mbps, especially if you're planning on streaming HD television. However, the Netgear 200 Mbps HomePlug operated just fine when connected to the Asus EeeBox, streaming Netflix on its highest quality settings without lag or stutter.

Highlighted. Highlit? Anyway, let me know if you don't like the icon or whatever.
Spoiler:Okay, I'm about 12 minutes into the first mission. My problem lies with the dialogue, or lack thereof. Blasting things is only satisfying for so long, the whole attack seems pointless, or rather emotionless. I don't know who these guys are, and I have little motivation to destroy them.
Somebody should move the project's board from "Hosted Projects - Work In Progress" to "Hosted Projects - Fully/Partially Released". I'm downloading it now, I cannot wait to check it out.

To be exact, it means the time of the action inside your sentence.
Your Verb can either be finished or happening now, finished or not yet, etc.
I think it's universal. Most of the languages in the world have at least 3 basic time frames:
1. Past
2. Present
3. Future
In English, each of these time frames has 4 different kinds. Take a look:
Because you're not a teacher and you just need to learn how to speak English, you don't need to remember these complicated names in grammar.
But you must memorize the pattern/ formula for each Tense, so you can make sentences.
But you have to memorize the others because you need them to make sentences in English.
For example:
See? This is why Tense is very important.
You have only 1 Subject and 1 Verb, the same Subject and the same Verb. But you can make 10 different kinds of sentences!
Each and every one of these 10 Tenses has a different meaning and situation. So you can't mix them and use them in the same way.
If you do that, you will be making a mistake.
Now you can see why Tense is really important in English and it's one of the most difficult topics.
Anyway, the first step is to practice making sentences and questions, by using the formulas that I gave you above. Please keep on practicing yourself. In other posts, I will try to teach the individual meaning of the Tenses.
Please practice this way:

text: GovCon Trade Blog: DEAR Department of Energy M&O Contractors: The FAR Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Requirements Apply To You, Too Firm Publication Publications May 3, 2016 The Department of Energy (DOE) has proposed an amendment to the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) that, among other changes, clarifies that FAR Subpart 22.12, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts, and the associated Department of Labor regulations, applies to subcontracts under DOE's management and operating (M&O) contracts. M&O contractors and their subcontractors need to be aware of these changes, particularly the impact on the requirement to hire service employees working on incumbent contracts set forth in contract clause FAR 52.222-17. FAR Subpart 22.12 implements Executive Order 13495 (January 30, 2009), and requires a successor contractor and its subcontractors to offer "service employees," as defined by the Service Contract Act, under the predecessor contract (of the same or similar services at the same location) and whose employment will be terminated as a result of the successor contract award, a right of first refusal of employment under the new contract. Employment openings are generally prohibited until such right of refusal has been provided, meaning an incoming contractor will have limited opportunity to staff its current employees on the contract. Importantly, each bona fide express offer of employment must have a stated time limit of not less than 10 days for an employee response, a time period that successor contractors should account for when determining how long it will take to transition the contract. The contract clause, FAR 52.222-17, has to be flowed down to service subcontracts over the simplified acquisition threshold, typically $150,000. The requirements of FAR Subpart 22.12 do not apply to service contracts performed entirely outside the United States. 77 Fed. Reg. 75768 (Dec. 21, 2012).

Bass, Berry & Sims' Government Contracts & International Trade blog features news, commentary and insight on the demanding and ever-changing regulatory environment of contracting with federal, state and local governments, and international trade issues when conducting a global business.

New & NowEssential Tools
Why a Hammer & Screwdriver Belong in Your Kitchen
This morning, we noticed cookbook author and cookie aficionado Dorie Greenspan using a peculiar yet sensible instrument to crush graham crackers for cheesecake.
When we asked her about how the hammer made its way from the toolshed to her kitchen, Dorie said:
My husband bought it for me, but I can't remember why. [...] I used to crush crackers in the food processor or with a rolling pin, but one day I grabbed the hammer and have used it ever since—more fun.
Not a single-use item, the hammer can also be used, along with a screwdriver, to break up massive blocks of chocolate (perhaps a problem unique to authors of baking books?):
For really large blocks, I pack the chocolate in a heavy garbage bag and drop it a few times on the pavement. I use the driveway and try to do it when my neighbors can't see me—they'd think I'm nuts. The pavement drops gets the block down to manageable—with screwdriver and hammer—chunks.
Dorie also uses the hammer for savory applications: smashed potatoes. "Oh, and [it's] also good for cracking lobster claws," she said.
What other less-than-usual tools does Dorie keep in the kitchen? "I keep a small pair of pliers in that same drawer for pulling out fish bones."
Weird items have also found their way into the Food52 team's kitchens, too, where they earn their place when we realize they do the job better than more traditional tools (or not!):
- Zoe Paknad, like Dorie, turns to a hammer, which she uses to crush nuts for filling baklava...
- and Francesca Andreani has used a screwdriver to shuck oysters (not ideal, she says).
- Kenzi Wilbur's antique ice pick works just as well as a cake tester.
- And, in the best example yet, Hannah Wilken has watched her boyfriend use an iron, rather than a grill pan, to make super-thin grilled cheese sandwiches.
Hannah also uses a salad spinner to wash her sweaters, one at a time, which sparks a whole other question: Which kitchen tools do you use for other tasks throughout your house?
Do you use kitchen tools that are not intended as kitchen tools? Or household tools that originated as kitchen tools? Tell us in the comments!

Hubley Headed to NCAA Swimming Championships
March 1, 2001
PULLMAN, Wash.-- Washington State University swimmer Melissa Hubley will compete at the 2001 NCAA Women's Swimming Championships in the 200-yard butterfly. The meet takes place March 15-17, in Long Island, N.Y.
'I'm feel ecstatic about us being able to continue representation for Washington State at the NCAA's,' WSU coach Rocco Aceto said. 'When you look at the entries, and they take only 24 athletes per event, and those athletes without a question are some of the best in the world. You end up having the fastest meet in the world. So to be invited to this meet has to be an incredible feeling.'
Last weekend, Hubley placed fifth in the 200 butterfly at the Pacific-10 Conference Championships, breaking her own school record in the event with a time of 2:00.36. This strong performance by the sophomore from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, helped lead the Cougars to seventh place, their best ever finish at Pac-10's. Hubley qualified for the 200 butterfly with the 23rd fastest time in the nation. And because she is a qualifier in the 200 butterfly, Hubley will also be able to swim the 100 butterfly, where she has achieved a provisional qualifying time of 55.75 seconds.
'Right now, I feel very excited and very relieved,' said Hubley, who missed the NCAA Championships by four spots last season. 'It's been sort of stressful, because I was in a similar situation with qualifying last year. This year I worked more on my turns trying to get faster. I feel like I worked hard on those things, which worked to my advantage. So I feel good about this season.'
This marks the fourth consecutive year the Cougars have sent athletes to the NCAA Women's Swimming Championships. Each of the last three seasons, Cougar standout Erin Eldridge went to the NCAA championships in the breaststroke, three times garnering All-American honors.

Eyeing big returns, drugmakers ready new hepatitis-C drug launches
The market for the new class of hepatitis-C drugs is becoming more crowded as a higher percentage of patients seek out therapies with shorter treatment durations and drugmakers pursue indications for more stubborn forms of the infection.
Gilead Sciences, which developed Sovaldi and Harvoni, the current market leaders in the category, reported that about 40% of US patients taking Harvoni in the second quarter of 2015 underwent treatment in eight weeks rather than 24 weeks.
"This is an encouraging trend as it suggests the payers should be seeing the value of earlier treatment for appropriate genotype-1 patients," Paul Carter, Gilead Sciences' EVP of commercial operations, said during a call Tuesday with investors. "And we believe this makes a strong case for payers to further ease restriction on patients' access."
Sales of Sovaldi and Harvoni reached nearly $4.9 billion in the second quarter of 2015 and generated 60% of Gilead's total product sales. The therapies, which have been available in the US for less than two years, make up an estimated 90% of the hepatitis-C market.
Despite the blockbuster status of both Sovaldi and Harvoni, the drugmaker is also seeking new indications for Harvoni, its best-selling therapy, including in patients co-infected with HIV; patients with genotypes 4, 5 or 6; and cirrhotic patients. The FDA's decisions are expected by Nov. 15.
Gilead isn't the only drugmaker seeking new patient populations or attempting to bring newer, more advanced treatments to market. The FDA last week approved Technivie (ombitasvir, paritaprevir and ritonavir), to be used in combination with ribavirin to treat genotype-4 infections in patients without scarring and cirrhosis.
AbbVie, the maker of Technivie, also markets Viekira Pak, which was approved in December to treat patients with genotype-1 infections, the most common form of the infection. Viekira Pak brought in $385 million in sales in AbbVie's second quarter.
The FDA also last week approved Daklinza (daclatasvir), a treatment developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb to treat genotype-3 infections in combination with Sovaldi. It does not require the co-administration of interferon or ribavirin.
Merck, which stopped selling an older, less effective hepatitis-C drug called Victrelis in January, announced its own plans to re-enter the market. Earlier this week the company said that the FDA had accepted an NDA for grazoprevir/elbasvir, an investigational daily single-tablet combination therapy for hepatitis C. The regulator is expected to decide on the drug by Jan. 28.
Still, concerns about pricing and which patients should receive treatment remain top concerns for both healthcare providers, as well as among the insurers and pharmacy benefit managers responsible for covering the cost of the pricey treatment.
PBM Express Scripts triggered a hepatitis-C pricing war when it signed a deal making AbbVie's Viekira Pak the exclusive choice for genotype-1 patients on its national formulary in exchange for a discount off the drug's 12-week price of $83,000. A competing PBM, CVS/Caremark, then granted exclusive status to Gilead's two drugs on its formularies.
Other cost-cutting deals have followed, including Anthem's signing an accord favoring Gilead's treatments. Analysts have put the discounts in the 10% to 20% range but they could go higher.
Consolidation in the payer market—namely Anthem's planned buyout of Cigna—and Aetna's pending acquisition of Humana, is only expected to increase PBMs' clout in pricing negotiations.
Nevertheless, Gilead Chairman and CEO John Martin expressed optimism during the firm's investor call, saying that the reluctance of insurers and PBMs to cover treatment for all patients with hepatitis C may start to wane. "I do think that as the market starts to become a bit more predictable now in terms of the numbers of patients coming through that hopefully payers will also feel more encouraged to sort of open the gate," Martin said.

Hey guys...there is Gene Rubin Audio in Ventura. In San Diego there is SonicCulture.com I just bought a pair of Compact 7es3s and they are incredible. I went from the Spendor S35R (I am a Spendor devotee) which I still dearly love. The Harbeth has much more bass, dimension, and spatial accuracy. But its more than double the price. I was considering the Spendor SP1/2R but there is no local Spendor dealer now.
Heavenly Harbeth
The prototype speaker I shamelessly coveted at the 2007 RMAF, the Harbeth 40.1, resurfaced in final form at THE Show's Alexis Park location. Paired with Resolution Audio's exceptional-sounding components, it again made my mouth water. Now positioned on new, lower stands (which, in my not-so-humble opinion, look far more attractive, and far less like a funeral casket, when not draped in black cloth), the full-range 40.1 monitors have an immensely detailed, beautifully layered, extremely controlled midrange whose harmonic richness is hard to resist. Toed-in toward the listener, the speakers' high end was equally compelling.
The drum thwacks on Karina Gauvin's chamber ensemble arrangement of one of Canteloube's Songs of the Auvergne were among the most realistic I've heard from this frequently played CD, as was the decay of room resonance. I also enjoyed the beautiful harmonic richness of orchestra and piano on Martha Argerich's live recording of Beethoven's Piano Concerto 2 with Claudia Albano.
I also delighted to have an extended conversation with Harbeth's warm, delightfully candid owner and designer Alan Shaw. Shaw acquired Harbeth nine years after BBC retiree Dudley Harwood launched the company in 1977, and clearly loves his work. Most disturbing was his report that the BBC, which dismissed its Chief Engineer years ago in a cost-saving move, has now redesigned its new studios as completely glass-enclosed echo chambers. The resonance is so awful that if you have a panel discussion, with some speakers farther from the mikes than others, it can be hard to understand them. The fabled BBC-studio sound of Harbeth loudspeakers is perhaps wasted on such blockheads. Happily, you and I can appreciate it to the max in our homes.
Alan, who is extremely conscious of environmental impact when building his speakers, has designed Harbeths to last. Because people fall in the love with them, and hold onto them for years, any Harbeth speaker can be easily supported and repaired to virtually sound like new. (Note, however that there are so many changes between the 40 and 40.1 that an upgrade is impossible). The speakers are said to extend flat down to 40Hz, present an extremely easy 6–8 ohm load for tube amps devoid of major impedance peaks and dips, and compensate for their unapologetic boxy appearance with wonderfully open sound. With plenty of new dealers in the US, these are major audition components.
Well... I sure hope they get their dealer act together. I live in the LA/OC area and my nearest dealer is down in Escondido. How can Harbeth not have a dealer near in the metropolitan LA area is truly beyond me. I was planning to buy an M30 last year, but lack of time to drive down there and their recent price increases are driving me toward Maggies instead.
If there is one truth in audio it is: "At this level, it's a matter a personal preference". And how true that is when completely different speaker designs (electrostatics, one full range driver, and "traditional" Harbeths)can thrill Jason. Bravo to all the designers who choose their own path (and to the writers, like Jason, who have an open mind). Great coverage!
So if this box is capable of "an immensely detailed, beautifully layered, extremely controlled midrange whose harmonic richness " and if its builder is "extremely conscious of environmental impact when building his speakers, has designed Harbeths to last" one truly wonders about those "gluons" and other ammonites manufacturers who are reshaping their boxes every 2 years! If you guys praise this amateur realization as much as you become extatic in front of some convoluted crafted woodwork, it suggests that 1) the components quality is the key point 2) the rest is expensive marketing.
I have a pair of Harbeth HLP3ES I bought in 1997. I love them as much, probably more, as when I bought them. I have yet to come across a more natural sounding speaker (though I am saving up for a pair of HarbethP7s). These guys build them to last and I can't help thinking that there's deep integrity in this particular enterprise. Congratulations, Harbeth.
Mike Fijne's point that box shape would not appear to be critical is a good one. However, his cynical conclusion goes a bit farther than the evidence warrants. Yes, "quality" of parts matters, but a collection of very high quality parts can sound awful. At least as important as the quality of the parts is the design of the system, including the design of the box, and the design of the crossover, and the design of the drivers.
Wonderful article about our beloved Harbeth, just a short note to say that we have a Spendor Audio Dealer in Sante California at Blackbird Audio. I thank you for the contact info for San Diego Harbeth............I can not wait to hear the Harbeths in all there glory. I have never heard a pair yet, but as a proud owner of 20 year old "True British made Celestion SL6si speakers- from circa 1989" I am very interested in the Harbeths as only true audio lovers will fully understand.Thanks GreatlyDoug Muich San Diego, CA-USA

He did survive. I actually watched this on an episode of air crash confidential. The maintenance crew mistakenly used smaller nuts for the windscreen causing it to fly off when faced with strong winds mid-flight. The co-pilot and an air host held unto the captain's legs for as long as they could. They all had to be treated immediately. That copilot was really brave! The captain was just one helluva lucky man. How he survived that ordeal still beats my imagination! When it's not your time, nothing can take you away. Not even a faulty windscreen.Delete

I've seen a documentation from the second picture.ReplyDelete
The mechanic took off the screws and went to the sparepart warehouse. The manager of the warehouse didn't had the screws and asked him if he was sure. The mechanic went to another warehouse and collected the screws and installed them with the glass.
The mistake was the mechanic before him had put in the wrong screws and nothing happened by coincidence. The second mistake was he didn't check his control book.Replies
I think I once watched the same documentary.ReplyDelete
I got hard-as-pimples goosebumps all over me and they aren't disappearing.
