Laptop can still pick up old wifi even though I cancelled ISP
I was with an ISP for a month. I used a router and named it AAA (let's just say). I initially put a password for it. It was working for all but one roommate (she couldn't connect at all) so we made it open access since we had unlimited internet. We used it this way for about 2 weeks but that didn't work for her either so we decided to switch. The internet service was terminated the next day and then Bell came in the day after to install.
Bell gave us a modem but we used the same router. I reset everything again and connected the router to the Bell modem. Bell had given us the login name and password and we could all successfully connect. We're a month into using internet with Bell but today, I realized that my laptop could still pick up AAA signal (still unsecured). I decided to try connecting to it and the internet worked.
I'm wondering if this is because we used the same router? If I use the AAA signal, will it take up some of our Bell internet usage? I have no idea what's going on Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

When you mentioned Bell's login name and password, you did not specified if that was for wireless or not.
Does Bell's modem has wireless capability as well?
Is Bell's modem ADSL(telephone line) or cable? What kind of connection was supplied by previous ISP (cable or ADSL)?
But likely if you have connected your router to Bell's modem, router has no other option than to take usage from Bell's modem.
If you can't answer my questions, you could just provide us with model numbers for those both hardware units. You can find model names on devices themselves (on little stickers with small print).

The Bell login was for wireless.
The Bell internet is DSL and the previous ISP was DSL as well.
I was thinking the same. I just think it's weird that my laptop can still pick up both wifi names and connect to the old wifi too. When I connect to the AAA one, it has 5 bars while Bell only has 2 bars but when I connect to the Bell wifi, then it has 4 bars but AAA still has 5 bars.

Well, in this case, I guess, you can safely power off and disconnect your own router and keep only Bell's one. Do not worry about "bars", that is only an approximation.

|02 Nov 2012
I'm just wondering, would it hurt to keep the AAA signal? If I use it from time to time, would it count as part of my Bell usage? Part of me is thinking it will but if it doesn't then hey, that's cool hahaa.
|My System Specs
|02 Nov 2012
If your router is connected directly to Bell's box then this means that anybody can connect to your Bell internet via your router since it does not have protection, as you have mentioned.
Any stranger can steal your bandwidth, basically.

I reset the router and I also went to the actual DLINK site to login and fix the settings. AAA is no longer there. Thanks for the explanation!

The Bastille fortress was the symbol of royal absolutism before the French Revolution. Built in the 13th century , it was originally aimed at improving the city's defenses, though by the 17th century it was being used as a jail. Voltaire and the Marquis de Sade were among its most famous inmates. Rumor and pamphleteers had for years disseminated a picture of its dungeons packed with wretched state prisoners. On July 13, 1789, exhorted "to arms" by a young lawyer, Camille Desmoulins, a mob gathered outside the Bastille, that frowning fortress whose guns were menacingly directed on the poor quarter of the Faubourg St-Antoine which surrounded it. The frenzied crowd demanded the munitions that were stored within, while the Governor, the Marquis de Launay, promised not to fire unless attacked. On the following day, July 14, which marks the beginning of the French Revolution, the agitated crowd returned and filled the Bastille's outer courts, which had been left unguarded.
The Bastille Opera
In 1983, Carlos Ott's design was chosen amongst 750 other contestants for the design of a new opera house, which would be situated in the district of La Bastille. His design was characterised by its respect for the characteristics of the district, an inviting sight for the public by it's glass façade and the use of identical materials inside and outside. The Opera Bastille was designed to make new concepts in scenery and stage decor fit together (the three-dimensional sets that complete or replace the trompe-l'oeil of the baroque and romantic period) and for a new public. The Bastille opera house was opened by President François Mitterrand on July 13, 1989.
You'll find art galleries clustered around rues Keller, Tamandiers and the adjoining stretch of rue de Charonne. And, on rue de Lappe, a very Parisian tradition : the "bals musettes", or dance halls of the1930s "gai Paris", frequented between the wars by Piaf, Jean Gabin and Rita Hayworth.
Day and Night Life
The most famous bals musette,"The Balajo", rue de Lappe, was founded by Jo de France, who introduced glitter and spectacle into what were then seedy gangster dives, and brought Parisians from the other side of the city to savour the rue de Lappe lowlife.
The rue de Lappe can still be as dodgy a place to be at night as it was in prewar days. The bouncers at clubs like the Chapelle des Lombards, and at Balajo itself, the heavy drug scene and the uneasy mix of local residents have taken the soul away from a street that ten years ago deserved the special affection that Parisians of all sorts gave it.

Tis the season to spread some cheer and show your clients just how much you value their business. Christmas cards and calendar are a great way to thank customers for their loyalty with the added bonus of promoting your brand at the same time.
3 Reasons Why Sending Christmas Cards Is Good for Business
- It's a chance to keep in touch with your customers, prospects and suppliers
- It reminds customers, prospects and suppliers of who you are and what you do
- It gives you an opportunity to keep your marketing lists up-to-date
How to Make a Great Impression with Your Business Christmas Card
Go for Quality
When deciding what type of business Christmas card you should send to your clients, aim for cards of the highest quality. Sending cheap Christmas cards risks looking not good for your brand image so aim for the best Christmas cards your budget will allow. At the end of the day, quality shows and the quality of your business Christmas card speaks volumes for your products or services and overall brand.
Be Tasteful
When it comes to your company Christmas card, never assume that your recipient will share your sense of humour. You may think a Christmas card design that includes a tipsy Santa is funny but now isn't the time to discover if your clients think so too. It's important to choose a Christmas card design that is appropriate and shows good taste. A photograph of your staff letting their hair down at your office Christmas party might seem like a good idea at the time but you never know what your audience will think once they open that envelope.
Show Good Judgement
Remember that not everyone celebrates Christmas so try to be respectful of your clients' beliefs and avoid blatant endorsements of religion when it comes to your Christmas card design. A generic holiday theme and a message such as Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays helps you air on the safe side. Being sensitive and sincere with your audience is important, so if you know your client celebrates the festive season then it is entirely appropriate to wish them a Merry Christmas.
What about inside your Business Christmas Card?
Taking time to put pen to paper and include a brief handwritten personal message to your client could reap huge rewards for your business in the future. Rather than sticking to Merry Christmas or Seasons Greetings, use the opportunity to personalise your message and make a comment specific to the individual. Try drawing on a shared experience for message inspiration or a simple sincere message such as – Hope 2017 is a wonderful year for you and your family, John!
Spread Festive Cheer Quickly and Efficiently with eCards
We understand that business can be hectic as you head into the silly season so an eCard can make the process a whole lot simpler and time efficient. You can still create a branded eCard with a personalised message to let your recipients know you're thinking of them and spread your festive message quickly and conveniently.
Keep Your Business Top of Mind with Branded Calendars
If you want to make a lasting impression, then a branded calendar can be the gift that keeps on giving. A branded calendar is the perfect way to keep your business top of mind and ensure your brand stays in front of your customers, prospects and suppliers every day of the year.
Remember that you don't need to limit yourself to just sending Christmas cards and calendars to customers alone, as your suppliers, prospects and other contacts will appreciate the gesture too.
Check out Kwik Kopy's wide range of quality Christmas cards, eCards and calendars for your business which can all be printed with your logo and selected message.
For advice on the right festive solution that will see you strengthen relationships well into the New Year, speak to your local Kwik Kopy today.

MONTVALE, N.J. — Mark Lapidos of Montvale, creator of this weekend's 43rd Annual Fest for Beatles Fans , first fell under the spell of The Beatles at age 15.
"The first time I heard 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' I was sitting there doing my homework," he recalled.
"As soon as I heard it, it grabbed me. I'll never forget that moment. I get chills thinking about it now."
WABC's Scott Muni announced the name of the new group from England.
Then Lapidos watched The Ed Sullivan Show so he could see what John, Paul, George and Ringo looked like.
His love affair with the music and The Beatles' story has never died.
In fact, it refuels every year – in New York and Chicago.
All week Lapidos, now 69, has been directing set-up for The Fest for Beatles Fans at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson. The bash starts Friday and runs through Sunday.
Four thousand people are attending.
"They're coming from 28 states, Canada and the UK, just for The Fest," Lapidos said.
"The entire hotel is all booked up with our attendees. We've got all 13 ballrooms and activity rooms inside the hotel, too."
All weekend, there will be music, art exhibits, photo exhibits, discussions, and lots of shopping.
Along the way, The Fest has become the world's largest seller of licensed Beatles merchandise.
The first Fest for Beatles Fans took place in New York City in 1974.
That's when Lapidos, then working at a Sam Goody record store, got the idea to have a convention marking the 10th anniversary of the band coming to the U.S.
Lapidos, who wanted The Beatles' blessing for his Fest, knocked on John Lennon's door at the Pierre Hotel.
After Lennon invited him in, Lapidos got what he came for.
"I'm all for it," Lennon said. "I'm a Beatles fan, too!"
Next thing Lapidos knew, his Fest made the cover of Rolling Stone. The rest is history.
Every year the Fest's special guests excite Lapidos. Each one's life has overlapped with that of The Beatles in some way.
"Part of the charm of The Fest is having these names that people know from books and music come to life," he said.
"They have great stories to tell and people can sit and meet them. It fills in all the blanks."
This year's headliner is Klaus Voormann, who designed the famous sleeve for the "Revolver" album.
Three members of Wings — Denny Seiwell, Laurence Juber, and also Steve Holley — will do a set of Paul McCartney songs.
Liverpool, a Beatles tribute band, will play "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," the eighth studio album of The Beatles.
Released in 1967, it's celebrating its 50th anniversary.
George Harrison's sister, Louise Harrison, will be there.
Plus, "Looking for Lennon," a film, will enjoy its U.S. premiere . Its next stop: the Cannes Film Festival.
Lapidos said first-generation fans keep coming back because "they know what the feeling is."
But new generations come, too, learn some history, and then go back and find all The Beatles albums.
"I'm very jealous about," Lapidos said. "'Revolver' is a brand new album for a 15-year-old kid. We can't have that anymore."

When teaching English in Japan, motivating Japanese students is always a challenge but rewarding too! Using a diary to keep track of what works and what doesn`t with particular groups of Japanese students will be helpful.
(Motivating Japanese Students Photo: The Kari River in Kanagawa)
"We may not be aware of it, but motivational issues take up a surprisingly large proportion of our everyday talk…Our hopes, our dreams, our goals, and what we like and dislike, are some of the things researchers have felt are the main motivational determinants of human behaviour."
–Zoltan Dornyei, "Teaching and Researching Motivation," p. 1
It is a tragedy that more teachers and teacher training programs fail to address the problem of motivating students.
It is a problem that is especially acute in Japan, where I teach. In my twenty year career of teaching English, motivating my students has been perhaps my biggest challenge.
In a general way, I had felt that I knew how to motivate them. Recently though, I have come to the realization that there is a lot I need to learn. I have chosen to keep a diary as a research project into what motivates and demotivates my students.
By keeping a diary of which strategies work for which class, we will gain a record over time of what works and what doesn`t.
Indeed the key phrase seems to be "over time." The diary must be kept for an extended period of time to
benefit from it.
(Motivating Japanese Students Photo: Anne Frank, one of the most famous diary writers)
(Pictured, a junior high school student at Kevin`s English School in Minamiashigara)
To aid in motivating Japanese students you may want to divide it up into different age groups or even different groups ie) people studying to be flight attendants,
science majors, or children aged 4-5 years old. My teaching context: (consists of teaching motivated adult learners at my own chain of schools, a mix of motivated and unmotivated learners at a private junior high school, as well as some motivated and unmotivated learners in some required English Writing and Speaking classes at university in Japan).
Dynamite Debates: One Teacher's Experience
by Tom Anderson
EFL teachers in Japan often come across debate in one or more forms. They might be asked to participate as judges in speech contests carried out by the English Speaking Society, a club activity. The debates might involve teams of students who are club members or perhaps a speech contest featuring student teams from their own club competing with teams from other institutions. Perhaps debate is one activity in an Oral English class. It might even be a required or elective class

Motivating Japanese Students with Exit Slips
One way we can motivate students is to give them more ownership,
or more say in their English classes. Thomas C. Anderson accomplishes that with his Exit slips activity. I recommend
it to classes of junior high and up. Anderson uses it in
his university classes and I intend to incorporate this valuable
motivator in my classes as well.
Thomas C. Anderson talks about how he uses Exit slips in his classes.
Inspiration Motivation, Why should children study hard at school?
How do we motivate our children and our students?
Here are some of the answers I received from other teachers about how to motivate my own children, and how to motivate students in general. One reminded me of a gem:
Praise from Dad is priceless.

TEXAS COURT OF CLAIMS. The Texas Court of Claims was established on August 1, 1856, to handle claims against the Republic of Texas and the state, particularly land claims based upon military service. A commissioner of claims, elected by joint vote of the two houses of the state legislature, was to serve until January 1, 1858. Two years were allowed for registry of land certificates of every description, certain specified classes of certificates being exempt. The commissioner of claims was given the functions of a special commission that had been set up under an act of January 29, 1840, to investigate claims for headrights and colonization grants; this special commission had expired in 1842. Also assigned to the commissioner's office were claims growing out of an act of March 20, 1848, for validation of Mexican land grants; an act of February 9, 1850, granting lands to heirs of soldiers of the Texas Revolution, and an act of February 11, 1854, allowing compensation for services and supplies furnished to the Republic. Two rooms in the basement of the Capitol were set aside for the Court of Claims, and the commissioner was allowed two clerks. An act of January 16, 1858, further defined the duties of the commissioner and extended his term to September 1, 1859, when his duties were supposed to be taken over by the comptrollerqv. In February 1858 the legislature liberalized the bases for proof of claims and authorized a larger number of specified land certificates. The Court of Claims was reestablished by the legislature on February 8, 1860, and the commissioner's term of office was extended to January 1, 1862. Applications were to be made to the local district court or to the county court, that court then forwarding the claim to the Court of Claims. The commissioner was authorized to reject claims which he believed fraudulent, but persons who were thus refused were given the privilege of suit in the Travis County District Court. No special Court of Claims has existed in Texas since 1862, and since that time claims against the state have been referred by the legislature to a committee on claims in the House of Representatives.

Inside FIH
FIH Committees
FIH Committees and Advisory Panels
At FIH we currently have several Committees and Panels who play an important role in the Federation's governance structure. Below is a list of all the members and a summary of each group's function. These will be updated once new Terms of Reference are agreed by each Committee and Panel.
Procedure for appointment to an FIH Committee or Panel
Over the coming months, nominations to FIH Committees will be communicated to the Continental Federations. Nominations must follow the Eligibility Guidelines and be accompanied by a Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct form. The call for nominations will begin on 10 April and close 1 May 2017.
Advisory Panels are appointed directly by the Executive Board, following the recommendations of the President and the CEO, after discussion with the Chair. (Nominations are therefore, not called for from the Continental Federations).
Panels are created to provide expert advice to FIH in its decision-making process. Therefore, the sole criterion for membership of a panel is expertise in the required area. A final list of all Committee and Panel members is proposed to the FIH Executive Board for appointment at the Executive Board meeting in June 2017.
Terms on Committees and Panels are for two years.

From 14 May 2001 Issue:
A Former Experimenter Reflects
By: Sandra Larson, M.S.
I had never heard the term "vivisection" when I started my research career. Although I had always considered myself to be a person who cared very deeply about animals, for some reason the suffering of animals in laboratories had escaped my awareness. However, it became very clear to me after only a short time on the job that the things I was witnessing were morally wrong. And it appeared at least on the surface, that I was the only one bothered by these things.
As the months went by, I found myself more and more incredulous that no one else spoke out against the atrocities happening right before our eyes. As I look back on that time, I now realize what I was witnessing was a behavior commonly referred to as ethical blindness.
Ethical blindness is a disease that is caused by many factors in human society--our parents, TV, books, movies, and schools. Members of the scientific community appear to be particularly vulnerable, because from elementary school on through graduate school, medical, or veterinary school, students are taught to view animals as tools or models. If they started out with any feelings -- of morality or right or wrong, regarding the animals they are using -- over time these feelings disappear. In fact, many scientists do not believe that science itself should have anything to do with morality. Indeed, these same scientists take it for granted that moral thought does not apply to animals. More than once, I had argued with doctors in my own research team who actually denied that animals feel pain.
I vividly remember walking out of one experiment where the senior researcher wanted to cut the heads off baby mice with a pair of scissors, because he said would be quicker than anesthesia and they wouldn't feel anything anyway!
How we treat other animals has always been a moral issue. Nonhuman animals deserve the right to equal consideration of their needs, desires, interests, and inherent qualities. Just like us, they are interested in staying alive and being free of pain and suffering. And just like us, they have a right not be exploited or to suffer from a supposedly moral species that has no need to kill or to cause suffering to other animals. This also means they have a right not to be used in experiments.
Animals do not deserve to be locked up in cages, artificially infected with human ailments, or surgically manipulated in research laboratories. But they are, not because they deserve it, but simply because we have the power to use them.
No ethic about animals will be a blueprint for immediate social change. We have too much invested in continuing to exploit animals in our society. But this generation above all others has witnessed the rise of moral concern for the powerless -- ethnic minorities, children, the elderly, and so on. And now the spotlight has finally turned to the animals.
As we move into the next millennium, let us reject all actions that victimize any innocent beings. We now have the chance, in this generation, to change the paradigm of the way humans regard animals for all future generations.
Sandra Larson is a former research associate at Harvard Medical School and other Harvard affiliated facilities.

Symantec buys Nukona, second mobile acquisition this month
Security giant Symantec on Tuesday acquired Nukona, a privately held provider of mobile application management solutions, for an undisclosed amount. The buy is meant to complement Symantec's purchase earlier this month of Odyssey Software, which makes mobile device management products. The acquisitions speak to the growing demand among employees for access to mobile devices at the workplace. According to Symantec, Odyssey allows organizations to manage device settings on mobile platforms, while Nukona, though an enterprise app store, lets them distribute and control applications, and protect the corporate data contained within them.

Safeguard in the degree: what queries are inquired and the way to get ready the answers?
Safeguard in the degree: what queries are inquired and the way to get ready the answers?
In the safeguard from the diploma, pupils are questioned questions on the theoretical and sensible component. The volume of inquiries, as a rule, will not be a lot more than 10. The complexness of your questions depends upon this content in the statement. In this article, we are going to notify what type of queries are often questioned on the shield and ways to respond to them correctly.
Questions in the protection of a degree or diploma be determined by a variety of variables
So, the diploma work is composed and you may guard it. Would it be basic? Along with the record, the percentage also openly asks more queries to make sure how well a student recognizes this issue. Consequently, you need to extensively prepare, as well as really know what the questions in the protection from the degree or diploma be determined by.
First, the evaluation committee listens towards the student's document and merely then communicates with the scholar college student. The concerns he is asked be determined by several subtleties:
- What kind of examination is open to a student for the diploma or degree undertaking by the reviewer. If the "A" is received and the document is also flawlessly study, then a commission will not be way too rigid to the graduate pupil.
- How fascinating the report was.
- How fast and confidently a student replies. It right away demonstrates regardless of whether he published his degree or diploma work alone or not.
- How performed the scholar pupil research in the entire academic approach.
- How and as outlined by what needs the document is prepared.
Assessment commission payment will ask concerns regardless, but to move this phase easily and quickly, you need to be confident and never being afraid of anything at all.
How to answer questions through the protection of your diploma or degree
One of the most a hardship on an individual is when inquiries are requested from various individuals the certification committee. Each question must be rapidly reacted, well guided and reacted. As a result, the graduate student is inspected to find out how well he has prepared for the protection, is aware of his subject matter and will carry out medical disagreements.
In case the student will not know the answer to the concern posed, the biggest thing is not really to be calm, but in order to respond to because he recognizes the subject. It is better to state: "I have done not be aware of the substance of your query, please rephrase it." When people in the commission payment talk to the pupil, it is important to look them in the eyes, rather than from the floor or roof. By doing this, the graduate university student demonstrates his value.
How many queries could be asked for defending a degree or diploma?
Obviously, diploma or degree pupils are curious about possessing as few questions as possible from individuals the percentage. After all, an assessment is defined up. As a rule, a maximum of 5 inquiries are questioned, all of it is dependent upon how well and properly a student solutions. If the graduate college student is concentrated inside the issue, then your commission is not going to concern him for a long period and may swiftly let him go. Whenever a university student thinks for a long time, replies inappropriately, fails to understand the diploma or degree operate, then there can be far more concerns.
In case a student is aware that the questions are continually asked, he has to check with him or her self: "Why?". Perhaps, there is certainly inadequate assurance or persuasiveness in the answers, or possibly however, the committee truly appreciated the report and desired to communicate with a student similar to a colleague. In any event, you can find reasons why teachers want to listen for the student a lot more.

Constructing rigorous and broad biosurveillance networks for detecting emerging zoonotic outbreaks
Determining optimal surveillance networks for an emerging pathogen is difficult since it is not known beforehand what the characteristics of a pathogen will be or where it will emerge. The resources for surveillance of infectious diseases in animals and wildlife are often limited and mathematical modeling can play a supporting role in examining a wide range of scenarios of pathogen spread. We demonstrate how a hierarchy of mathematical and statistical tools can be used in surveillance planning help guide successful surveillance and mitigation policies for a wide range of zoonotic pathogens. The model forecasts can help clarify the complexities of potential scenarios, and optimize biosurveillance programs for rapidly detecting infectious diseases. Using the highly pathogenic zoonotic H5N1 avian influenza 2006-2007 epidemic in Nigeria as an example, we determined the risk for infection for localized areas in an outbreak and designed biosurveillance stations that are effective for different pathogen strains and a range of possible outbreak locations. We created a general multi-scale, multi-host stochastic SEIR epidemiological network model, with both short and long-range movement, to simulate the spread of an infectious disease through Nigerian human, poultry, backyard duck, and wild bird populations. We chose parameter ranges specific to avian influenza (butmore »

Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
A man in Spring Hill, Tennessee was arrested this week after officers say they found him under a bridge near Allendale Elementary School, committing a lewd act on a two-foot-tall baby doll he'd cut holes into. They were called out to the area after people driving to the school spotted him kneeling on a towel, naked.
Reached by a local news anchor, 56-year-old Daniel Torroll claimed he suffers from a mental disorder that causes him to perform strange sexual acts on himself, but nobody else. The father of two was reportedly not seen by any of the school's children, and he claims that he did not know he was on school property.

The gold pen flickered in the harsh light as he rolled it across his fingers. "I'm moving you to the warehouse." Trent smiled cruelly at her, the gap in his front teeth marring his otherwise perfect features. "Maybe over there you won't cause so much trouble."
Her face grew hot with indignation. Trouble?
The only trouble she'd caused was telling Mr. Gaptooth to keep his paws off her backside. She'd made it clear his advances were unwelcome. When he'd failed to listen, she'd complained to HR. Unfortunately, OBW wasn't the most enlightened company, despite almost eighteen years since the Clarence Thomas hearings.
"I'm a line supervisor, and I won't take a demotion just because you can't control yourself, Trent."
Ginny enjoyed watching his mouth drop open. For a few seconds, she'd actually rendered him speechless.
He stood up, his tan face turning red, the vein in at his temple throbbing. He leaned across his desk and pointed at her. "You can either move to the warehouse, or you're fired."
A month ago, that threat would have scared her. A month ago, she'd been struggling to support herself and her two kids in one of the most expensive cities in the country. A month ago, she hadn't lined up a job as plant manager for OBW's largest competitor.
"You forgot one option, Trent," Ginny said as she lay the neatly typed letter on his messy desk. "I quit."

Big news day for Glenn Close, who will be returning to Broadway and the silver screen.
Close's most recent appearance on Broadway was in Sunset Boulevard back in 1994. Her portrayal of Norma Desmond earned her a Tony — her third. Close previously won for her performances in Death and the Maiden (1992) and The Real Thing (1984). After a 20 year hiatus, Close is returning to Broadway in a limited 18 week-run of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance, a Pulitzer Prize winning play.
Here's what you can expect:
"The play sees 67-year-old Close and [John] Lithgow, 68, as a married couple coping with the return of their 36-year-old daughter after her fourth marriage break-up, alongside a visit from Close's alcoholic sister and two family friends."
Lindsay Duncan (a two-time Tony-winner for Private Lives and Les Liaisons Dangereuses) will appear as Close's sister and Martha Plimpton (The Good Wife, Raising Hope) will play Close and Lithgow's daughter.
Close's new film, The Wife, will also focus on a couple forced to deal with the past: according to The Hollywood Reporter, "The story is set in the literary world as a faithful wife of a famous and philandering New York novelist decides to leave her husband on the eve of his receiving a major book award in Stockholm. That uncoupling prompts a re-examination of the relationship as secrets are revealed."
The Wife is based on a novel by Meg Wolitzer and adapted for the screen by Jane Anderson, an Emmy Award winning writer and director who most recently worked as a consulting producer for Mad Men. The film has been "in the works" for over a decade, and Anderson was originally slated to direct; Swedish director Bjorn Runge will now direct the project. The Wife will be shot in both English and Swedish, and will shoot primarily in Stockholm.
Here's what Meg Wolitzer has to say about the film:
I feel thrilled and honored to have such extremely talented people involved with the film version of The Wife, a novel that I loved writing.

SOURCE: Klayman & Toskes
December 17, 2010 18:35 ET
NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - December 17, 2010) - The Securities Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes, P.A. ("K&T") (http://www.nasd-law.com), representing numerous aggrieved investors throughout the nation, advises all Charles Schwab (NASDAQ: SCHW) YieldPlus Fund investors who are class members of the In Re Schwab Corp. Securities Litigation ("Class Action"), Case No. 08-cv-01510 WHA, that the US District court recently approved an amendment to the proposed settlement of the Class Action. The Court's Supplemental Notice of Proposed Settlement provides that class members may request exclusion from the class. The request for exclusion must be postmarked no later than January 14, 2011, and must be received no later than January 21, 2011. The Class Action was filed on behalf of investors who purchased shares in the Schwab YieldPlus Fund. The YieldPlus Fund sold two classes of shares: Investor Shares (NASDAQ: SWYPX) and Select Shares (NASDAQ: SWYSX).
Presently, K&T represents investors who purchased shares of the YieldPlus Fund from Charles Schwab in securities arbitration claims before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). These investors chose to pursue their claims individually rather than participate in the class action because they suffered large losses. K&T reminds investors of the benefits of filing an individual securities arbitration claim, as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit. By participating in a class action lawsuit, an investor may only recover a nominal amount. However, if one has experienced significant losses in excess of $100,000 in the YieldPlus Fund, it may be more beneficial for them to file an individual securities arbitration claim. In 2003, K&T conducted a detailed study of securities arbitration versus class action. The study concluded that investors who file a securities arbitration claim traditionally obtain an overall higher rate of recovery as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit. To view the full results of the comparison, please visit our web-site: http://www.nasd-law.com/documents/classvr.pdf.
Investors who purchased shares of the YieldPlus Fund from Charles Schwab and sustained significant losses in excess of $100,000 can contact K&T to explore their legal rights and options. The attorneys at K&T are dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of investors who have suffered investment losses. K&T, an experienced, qualified and nationally recognized securities litigation law firm, practices exclusively in the field of securities arbitration and litigation. It continues its representation of investors throughout the world in securities arbitration and litigation matters against major Wall Street brokerage firms.
If you wish to discuss this announcement or have investment losses of $100,000 or more in Schwab's YieldPlus Fund, please contact Steven D. Toskes, Esquire or Jahan K. Manasseh, Esquire of Klayman & Toskes, P.A., at 888-997-9956, or visit us on the web at http://www.nasd-law.com.

With Halloween is just around the corner I couldn't miss an opportunity to join the fun by doing some Halloween nail art. It'll be the first* SoNailicious Halloween nails ever! Firstly because this time last year, SoNailicious only existed as a sketch in my diary. And second, because in Eastern Europe where I grew up Halloween isn't celebrated so I knew nothing about it.
After some research on what Halloween is about I chose to do nails with some of the main symbols of Halloween – black cat, Jack O'Lantern, a ghost and a spider. Conveniently, the new OPI Rock Goddess mini pack had just arrived. It features black, orange, green and yellow shades, so the colour palette of our spooky nail art was sorted pretty quickly.
To create this Halloween Nail Art, we first painted each nail in different Rock Goddess shades. Then using detailing nail art brush painted the Halloween symbols. Finally, two layers of top coat. Done!
Used: Orly Nailtrition – base, OPI Yellowpalooza, Stand in Lime For Days, Rolling Bones and The Drummer is Hot shades from OPI Halloween 2013 mini pack and ORLY Polishield top coat.
Are you doing any Halloween nails or have you done some already? I'd love to feature your creations in our upcoming, big Halloween Nail Art round-up! Tweet or Instagram us your photos @So_Nailicious with a tag #sonailicioushalloween. The more the merrier!
– Maria, xx
* I did some Halloween nails last year but on me personal blog. They are quite cute :)

Much discussion exists about the role of a data steward and what it entails, and in my experience it is quite unclear in many enterprises. A large part of this lack of clarity seems to arise from confusion with two other roles - subject matter experts and data managers. We need to understand how these three roles fit together. Either we should justify them as separate roles or recognize that they boil down to the same thing. The fact that many enterprises have only a fuzzy grasp of what these three roles involve is a major risk for the successful operationalization of data governance. This is because individuals will be assumed to have accountabilities that they have not been formally assigned, and which they are not equipped to carry out. To the extent that these accountabilities are assigned by a data governance program, it is data governance that will be blamed for lack of results.
What are SMEs and Data Managers?
Let's begin by looking at what an SME is. This is an individual who has certain expertise in a particular domain. "Expertise" is usually broken down into knowledge and skills; either the SME knows about a particular topic or knows how to get something done. Since we are talking about data, the SME is typically someone who knows about a particular data topic in the enterprise or how to do a particular thing with data. It is important to recognize that a SME is an individual person, rather than a role. You do not become a SME by being assigned as one.
A data manager is a relatively new role that involves overseeing the processing of data in an operational environment. My experience with this role is mostly in financial services, where it is explicitly recognized and the title is used. Typically, data managers look after master data, such as Customer or Financial Instrument. For instance, in an investment bank there are likely to be a number of data managers involved in onboarding institutional customers. Their tasks will be to check that the data received about a new customer is accurate, perform anti-money laundering checks, "know your customer" checks, credit checks, politically connected person checks, and ensure copies of all relevant documentation such as contracts, certificates of incorporation, etc. are received and stored. There may be quite a range of additional tasks, too. Basically, a data manager is oriented to working with data rather than what the data represents, and ensuring this data is available to the rest of the enterprise for consumption. The fact that data managers exist in back office operational environments also needs to be fully appreciated, but that is a separate discussion.
What is a Data Steward?
This leaves us with data stewards. The term "steward" commonly means someone who looks after something belonging to someone else. Since the data in an enterprise does not normally belong to anyone who works in it, then anybody working with the data can be considered a "steward," which is not very helpful.
Nor is it helpful to rebrand a SME or a data manager as a data steward. All we are doing is introducing an additional title that is not based on a real distinction, which is bound to cause confusion. What about formalizing the data management aspects of a SME or data manager, particularly when the individuals concerned do not have either of these titles? Simply clarifying what SMEs and data managers do is helpful, but if there is no change in what they do, it is difficult to see how any improvements can be brought about. And if this is what a data stewardship program does, and if it really does not result in anything improving, then the program is not going to be successful.
I would argue that data stewardship is a role, but unfortunately a role that does not have an easy analogy to anything else that we are generally familiar with. To me, a data steward has the following characteristics:
- A data steward has responsibility for a particular domain of the enterprise, and knows who does what with data within that domain, i.e., he or she has local knowledge.
- A data steward coordinates the promotion good data governance practices within their domain.
- A data steward assists in getting resolution to cross-organizational data-related issues.
Data Steward Differentiators
We can compare these three characteristics to the SME and data manager. A SME will not be oriented to knowing who is doing what with data outside of their particular expertise, which is likely to be narrower than the domain of a data steward. Nor is the SME likely to be too interested in this - after all, expertise is a personal matter. A data manager will be interested in who does what with data, but within the scope of their operational accountabilities and only within the silo he or she is responsible for. By contrast, a data steward will be concerned about getting to know who is doing what with data in general within a broader domain.
Neither an SME nor a data manager will be concerned with promoting good data governance practices within their domain, unless these are needed to solve a particular problem. Operational environments are rife with tactical decisions about data that solve a short term problem for those immediately affected, but which cause long term headaches for the enterprise as a whole. Yet we cannot expect SMEs or data managers to behave differently because they are not working to a "bigger picture" that a centralized data governance unit would provide. By contrast, a data steward will understand that there is a bigger picture and act to rationalize what is otherwise an unending series of tactical fixes.
Industrial Age management, with its division of responsibilities does not match Information Age needs where data is a common resource driving the business. Very often, the wrong people make decisions about data, or no decisions are made, leaving problems to fester. Neither a SME nor a data manager is really oriented to these concerns. Even worse, since data crosses organizational boundaries, there are cross-organization issues with data that are quite common. Since SMEs and data managers have no mandate to direct activities outside of their organizational silos, these issues tend not to get solved.
Data stewards, or more properly a data steward network, can deal with cross-organizational boundary data issues. Such a network will itself have to be coordinated by a central data governance unit, but it is probably the only way of dealing with these issues that would otherwise fall into the cracks, or discontinuities, of the overall organization.
In conclusion, there is good reason to separate out SMEs, data managers and data stewards. There is a lot more to these roles than can be discussed here, but the important thing is to understand the differences between them.

Ricky Linn made the following infographic and posted it on his Flickr account earlier.
It looks like we've got some Fanboys critiquing his work already. From the comments:
That last bit is famously false. "To boldly go" is infact not a split infinitive, because "go" is actually the infinitive form, not "to go". Traditional grammar rules teach us that using an infinitive without the word "to" is the "bear infinitive", whereas with it is the "full infinitive", but most of these rules were apparently invented in the 1800s because before then there was no objection to "splitting" infinitives in any context. Similar to the rules about not putting prepositions at the end of sentences or the baneful banning of the perfectly legitimate contraction "ain't", the so-called split preposition is an archaic term from a more idealistic, prudish time when people believed that all languages spoken properly must conform to Latin grammar. This all resulted in silly, forced distinctions between nonexistent verb tenses and other rules that classified regional dialects as "improper", and thus by modern standards, which accepts English for the evolving Germanic language it is, that form of writing is meticulous and absurd. "To boldly go where no man has gone before" is grammatically pristine. Don't mislead people as you have been mislead!

State police say a Waterbury man apparently lost control of his motorcycle, and slid under the wire guardrail on the exit ramp from Interstate 691 eastbound to Interstate 91 northbound about 11 p.m. Thursday.
Because the guard rail was not damaged, and because there were no calls to 9-1-1, police didn't even know there had been an accident , and 28-year-old Carlton Crooks, who suffered serious damage to his legs, was trapped and unseen for nine hours.
Friday morning a passenger in a box truck thought he spotted something and went back to check. He found Crooks and called police, who had to cut away b ushes and trees to get him out. Crooks was taken by ambulance to the Connecticut Police Academy, then by LifeStar helicopter to Hartford Hospital.

Luis Suarez is just that good, so we really shouldn't be surprised at allegations that Liverpool can't cope without their Uruguayan star.
There are some in the world that would say that the Liverpool team at the moment is Luis Suarez plus ten other individuals.
It is a great compliment to Suarez, and there is little doubt that if Liverpool had more individuals with his talent and desire to win all over the pitch then the Reds would be in shape to challenge for Champions League football next season, if not that then maybe the Premier League crown itself.
But it isn't, because footballers like Luis Suarez don't come around all that often. His display last night against Norwich was possibly one of the best displays Liverpool fans have seen on a football pitch perhaps since the late 1980's – and one of the most memorable hat-tricks since Robbie Fowler's six-minuter against Arsenal which remains the quickest hat-trick in the Premier League to date.
For as remarkable as Suarez's form has been this season, and how much of a loss to Liverpool he would have been if he left the club, the implication that Liverpool are nothing without him is simply not true.
There have been times when Liverpool have been 'nothing without Gerrard/Alonso/Torres/Suarez.' There's a shock, a football team is nothing without players!
You only need to look at how Liverpool fared during his ten game ban where they only lost one game – which incidentally happened to be the last of his ban against Southampton. During that time Liverpool picked up six wins and two draws in the league and managed to beat Manchester United in the process.
There is a difference however between saying that Liverpool are a one man team, and that one man's form could be the difference between success and failure for the side. Suarez could be the difference of the Reds returning to the top table of European football or not this season, but if you put Suarez into 99% of other sides in the world his contribution over the course of the season could be the difference between success and failure.
His performance against Norwich last night summed him up beautifully, after looking a little frustrated early on he comes up with a bit of sublime skill and magic and he's away, and nobody could stop him. In terms of Liverpool's chances, if Suarez has more looks of sheer joy combined with almost disbelief etched across his face because of his own performance, then it can only be a good sign.

Nokia reports loss as mobile phone sales drop
Mobile phone giant Nokia has reported a loss for the final three months of last year, as sales of mobile devices fell sharply.
The firm made loss after tax of 1.08bn euros ($1.4bn; £905m). Net sales fell 21% on a year earlier to 10bn euros.
Net sales of mobile phones were down by a quarter.
In October, Nokia launched its first two Windows-based smartphones which it hopes will help it gain ground on Apple and Android-based competitors.
"The fourth quarter of 2011 marked a significant step in Nokia's transformation," said chief executive Stephen Elop.
"Overall, we are pleased with the performance of our mobile phones business."
New models
The former market-leader in mobile phones has lost out to the iPhone and other smartphones that use Google's Android operating system.
To try to catch up, it decided to dump its legacy Symbian software in favour of Microsoft for its new range of smartphones.
It launched the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 models in October in a number of markets in Europe and Asia, and earlier this month re-entered the US market. It has now sold more than one million Lumias.
Nokia said it would be launching the new smartphone models in China and Latin America in the first half of this year.
The company said 2012 would continue to be a "year of transition" so it would not be giving any sales or profits forecasts.
On Wednesday, Nokia said it had sold its 1.5 billionth mobile phone based on its S40 operating system.
It estimated there are currently 675 million active owners of S40 phones in the world, and said it is currently selling about 12 phones of the S40 family every second.
