Finding length-3 positive Cunningham chains and their cryptographic significance
A Cunningham chain of length k is a finite set of primes p 1, p 2,...,p k such that p i+1=2p i +1, or p i+1=2p i−1 for i=1,2,3, ...,k−1. In this paper we present an algorithm that finds Cunningham chains of the form p i+1=2p i+1 for i=2,3 and a prime p 1. Such a chain of primes were recently shown to be cryptographically significant in solving the problem of Auto-Recoverable Auto-Certifiable Cryptosystems [YY98]. For this application, the primes p 1 and p 2 should be large to provide for a secure enough setting for the discrete log problem. We introduce a number of simple but useful speed-up methods, such as what we call trial remaindering and explain a heuristic algorithm to find such chains. We ran our algorithm on a Pentium 166 MHz machine. We found values for p 1, starting at a value which is 512 bits and ending at a value for p 1 which is 1,376 bits in length. We give some of these values in the appendix. The feasibility of efficiently finding such primes, in turn, enables the system in [YY98] which is a software-based public key system with key recovery (note that every cryptosystem which is suggested for actual use must be checked to insure that its computations are feasible).

When I first saw these belts by GiGi Belts, my jaw dropped. How mod! So chic! And yes, the perfect accessory for baby! These belts are made SPECIFICALLY for little ones from 0 to 12 months!
Barbara came up with the concept behind GiGi Belts after the birth of her daughter. A onesie & jeans just weren't a complete look - she needed a belt! And not just any belt, but one that is easy to take on & off so that you can still do a diaper change in a snap!
For a girl, my favorite is the punker Baby Wanna Be a Rock Star- Baby Belt. For a boy I like Aliens Among Us- Infant Navy Blue Belt. The belts are 20 inches for 0 to 6 months, 22 inches for 6 to 12 months. And if you see a buckle that you want on a different strap, there is a "You Design It" option! Or maybe you see a style that you need just a little longer, maybe it would be perfect for your toddler, just send Barbara a message via Twitter or Etsy with the length you need for a special order! And with so many photo opportunities coming up in these next two months, make sure your little one is always picture perfect with a GiGi Belt!
Barbara has just created this gorgeous, yellow belt to add to her line-up. The only problem is, she still doesn't have a name. For a chance to win a GiGi Belt, come up with a name for her newest design! Whoever comes up with the best name, chosen by Barbara, will win a GiGi Belt!
Your comment must include TWO things.
1. A name for this new, yellow belt.
2. Your favorite belt from her Etsy store.
* Blog about GiGi Belts and her give-away. Include a link to this post and to GiGi Belts.
* Add GiGi Belts and the Mom Buzz on twitter
* If you do all of the above, you can enter as many times as you want. But every extra entry at this point forward must include a NEW name for the belt and your favorite belt from the GiGi Belts Etsy Store.
* This contest is open to US residents only. Contest runs from November 6th to November 12th, Midnight EST.

And with that turning of the seconds digit, my fourth anniversary of moving to London has arrived. Technically I didn't land till 06:00-something in the morning, but if midnight counts for drinking age, it counts for residency.
I remember back in that time wondering what it'd be like when London was just home and not this new adventure. And I can't even quite remember when it switched, but here it is, all of a sudden, it's home. Sometimes that feels better than others, but it's nice that it's there.
Now all I need are more guests - who's coming next?
Happy anniversary,

The case for Newcastle's defence is growing stronger. While Newcastle United's back line has a reputation for being far too generous towards opponents, the reality is that Shay Given's 11 Premiership clean sheets is more than any other goalkeeper in the top division.
There may be lies, damn lies and statistics but Newcastle have conceded fewer goals at home (eight) than any other team while their overall total of 32 is only two behind Arsenal who seem to be the yardstick for most things these days.
The clean sheet at Elland Road was Newcastle's fifth in eight Premiership matches this year and manager Sir Bobby Robson admitted he had "a nice problem" in what to do with £9 million Jonathan Woodgate who is available to make his debut against Chelsea on Saturday.
"Shay didn't have much to save," said Robson after Newcastle's comfortable win which belied the theory there are no easy games in the Premiership.
Craig Bellamy's verdict was that "we mullahed them - I'm sure the Leeds players would be the first to say that".
Apart from a Harry Kewell effort which was well saved by Given, the home side rarely troubled Newcastle's back-four, which will no doubt be improved by Woodgate and Olivier Bernard who was suspended - "he's done really well for us at left back," said Robson.
"It's not just the defence and the 'keeper," said Given. "It's about how we defend as a team. Recently we've been working to close down the ball when we lose it, get two banks of four and be hard to break down.
"Andy [O'Brien] and Titus [Bramble] were great against top players like Kewell and Alan Smith."
Newcastle are arranging a special practice game today for Woodgate and Hugo Viana to help their recovery from injury but 14 wins in their last 19 Premiership games is growing evidence that Newcastle have the squad to push for a top two position.
Kieron Dyer's first two Premiership goals of the season - his first League goals for 10 months - set up Newcastle's win. Dyer must score more regularly if he is to be regarded in the class of Paul Scholes who fills a similar role but Robson said: "He was outstanding. He has so much energy. I don't know where he gets it from.
"He makes more runs than any midfield player in the country."
Dyer's first goal came after Bellamy and Alan Shearer had made the opening for the midfielder to score with an angled left-foot drive from six yards.
His second three minutes after the interval was created by the dangerous Bellamy and with Michael Duberry standing off Dyer gave Paul Robinson no chance with a well-placed shot.
Dyer also struck an upright after Shearer stepped in front of Duberry to head Laurent Robert's free-kick past Robinson.
Shearer's flailing arms caused a couple of Leeds players to require treatment - Lucas Radebe did not return after being caught in the face. There can be a fine dividing line between using arms legally and illegally and Shearer was fortunate not to have been cautioned for the challenge on Radebe.
Manager Terry Venables had influenza and missed the game as Leeds' encouraging run of results came to an end. "Newcastle are a proper team," said assistant manager Eddie Gray though it did not seem pertinent to ask what Gillingham, West Ham and Crystal Palace were.
Real Madrid's on-loan defender Raul Bravo - "more Juliet than Fiat," remarked one observer - made his second appearance but like just about every Leeds player the Spaniard had an off-day.
"When the second goal went in one or two heads went down," said Gray. "We didn't compete."
Around 80 Leeds fans staged a mini-protest after the game, chanting "3-0 to the PLC" - like the display by the players, though, it was rather half-hearted.

Why the Modern Technology pyramid matters for Educators?
As an educator, you must be knowing how badly students, in this fast-paced world, depend on technology. A K-12 student needs to have his/her phone with them all the time.
According to the Pew Research Centre, the average teen sends and receives 30 text messages per day and 24 percent of them go online "almost constantly". But that's not the only, technology is being used by students.
Evidence suggests that this technology use can be divided into four distinct groups. According to Tony Wagner, Expert in Residence at the Harvard University, these come together to form the Modern Technology Pyramid.
Entertainment, the broadest of the four groups, lies at the bottom of the Pyramid. Above that is information (research, question, answering), then collaboration followed by the creativity which takes the smallest spot at the bottom of Pyramid. This means students fritter away their time mindlessly thumbing through Facebook than stimulating their minds playing brain games, for example.
Unfortunately, this subpar use of technology is costly – not just to their data plans, but to their development.
By engaging students with education-focused apps and tools that fall within the various technology pyramid tiers, luckily, educators have an opportunity to counterbalance the hour's students spend thumbing through Facebook. Here is how.
This category that includes the use of social media apps, like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram as well as messaging with Kiki and Whatsapp and much more falls in the largest tier of the technology pyramid.
The question is how can teachers use this to their benefit? Children, especially teenagers are lured by Skype and Twitter. Interestingly both of them can be easily integrated into the classroom for educational purposes.
Skype has the potential to be even more powerful in your classroom than Twitter— Skype offers the face-to-face interaction and collaboration that Twitter does not, and allows teachers to illustrate the importance of global education. From anywhere in the world, with just a computer and a webcam, you can Video chat with classes teaching students both about different cultures no ways to communicate effectively.
Engage with students in and out of school by posting assignments and updates on Twitter. You can also use it to supplement an engaging, in-class discussion and keep parents informed about what's happening in the classroom.
"Just Google it" is the new age mantra that answers all your queries and that's exactly your students also do if they do not know the answers to a particular question or show their friend a new website. Embrace this curiosity, and take advantage of the ease with which you can instantly access information, using tools like an iPad, Chromebook, or Smart Board. These let you present students with instantaneous information that makes a class more exciting, visual, and engaging.
To collaborate on questions, students can use iPads in groups. Individually, they can be used to research and learn from interactive articles or play brain-stimulating games.With a Smart Board, teachers can present supplemental information and dynamic lesson resources by linking to material from the real world.
Technology is used by students to collaborate outside of school, sharing articles on Facebook or texting with friends to plan an event. Teachers can use this inherent inclination to collaborate and share to improve group work.
Various web-based tools like Forms, Google Docs, the endless number of add-ons and slides can be used to start.
Use Google Slides or Google Docs, as a collaborative, online workspace, where students can create and edit the same assignment at the same time from their own screen.
They can see what's being worked on and the possibility for real-time feedback lets their communication and teamwork skills shine through. It also gives you a better idea of who's participating—simply join the document and see who's typing the most (or least) and redirect the distribution of work for the better of the group.
When thinking of the greatest and latest in the technology, students jump right to the latest app or a new add-on for their gaming system. While this technology is innovative and, if used correctly, could have a place in the classroom, it buggers up creativity.
There could be many reasons why creativity is at the top of the pyramid. One of the probable causes is that kids are not drawn to education-focused technologies as they fall into a division of learning, which, to them, equals work.
Facebook or Snapchat lures children, especially kids as through these apps they can instantly connect with their friends expending minimal brain power.
To enhance their creative STEM skills, kids can use many products. With Raspberry Pi, own weather stations may be crafted to monitor conditions in and out of the classroom. Kano is unbeatable when it comes to creating original content, it can be used in conjunction with Scratch to create games, stories, and animations.
However, this is how their creativity is sparked not ignited but still, it is indispensable for the development of children in the 21st century. All it takes is a discovery or one brilliant idea to find what they want to pursue or what they love to learn about as they get older.
The knowledge of Modern Technological Pyramid helps you guide students to derive optimal benefits from the technology. It is true that technology, if used, properly by the students can benefit them immensely and their progress will be hastened multifold times. On the flip side, if they get into the trap of technology misuse, they risk their future. Which is why a teacher is always advised to keep close tabs on their students and get them advised wherever they are using technology incorrectly. This is a responsibility which lies solely on the shoulders of teachers that could not be fobbed off to anybody else.
It may sound a puissant argument that teacher alone can not help them teach and encourage right ways to use technology and help of parents and other elders is also required but student cannot lend their ears to anybody else as much as they give to their teachers for the simple reason that they count more on their teachers when it comes to learning new concepts.
It won't be an exaggeration to say that every teacher should know about modern technology pyramid as the significant role technology plays in removing obstacles and enhancing productivity cannot be condoned but students can reap full benefits of technology only if they put it to use under able guidance and support of their teachers. Otherwise, in no time, they will be found wrestling with countless problems which are known as hazards of misusing technology.

All babies thrive on touch. For babies, close skin to skin contact is a natural expectation, representing safety, food and shelter. It is within every parent's power to initiate this amazing first embrace and yet parents are not always aware of the power of Kangaroo Care for their new baby. Many dismiss it, believing it is only for premature babies.
Kangaroo Care/Skin-to-Skin Contact has enormous benefits for preterm infants but it also has huge benefits for full term babies and yet it is often overlooked in today's busy birth units. It is often mistakenly thought of as an intervention only for low birth weight and preterm infants however the same life-saving responses a pre-term baby has to being held skin to skin are life-enhancing experiences for all babies and those responses can have an incredible positive effect on all babies development. Practising Skin-to-Skin daily for the first 6 months of a baby's life creates an amazing foundation for them to build the rest of their life on.
Full term babies held Skin-to-Skin remain in deep sleep for longer periods of time, they show improved brain development, regulation of temperature and heartbeat, reduced stress, improvements in weight gain and are at lower risk of serious infection. Close physical contact with their mother stimulates natural breastfeeding behaviours in babies and enables sharing of antibodies and immunity from mother to baby. Production of the hormone 'oxytocin' is raised enormously in both parent and child during Skin-to-Skin Contact and this encourages bonding and greatly reduces the symptoms of Post Natal Depression in mothers.
Whatever your birth environment you can ask for immediate Kangaroo Care/Skin-to-Skin Contact with your baby. It is not just for preterm. Have you added it to your birth plan? Is it something that has been mentioned in your antenatal appointments or classes? Skin-to-Skin contact with your full term baby for 60 minutes immediately post birth greatly increases the chances of initiating breastfeeding successfully and continuing it ongoing. It also immediately implements all the other benefits of Kangaroo Care/Skin-to-Skin Contact – Oxytocin release for mother and child, 10 x less crying, improved mental and physical development for the child, temperature and heart rate regulation in baby, improved sensitivity to infant cues and enhanced bonding.
Regular, daily doses of Kangaroo Care/Skin-to-Skin Contact during a full term baby's early life (up to 6 months/15lbs), offers the chance to maximise the health benefits and positive effects on babies physical and mental development, it increases natural parent and child bonding and will have a lifelong benefit to all the family. Vija Design offer a range of specially designed Kangaroo Care Garments to allow easy, daily Kangaroo Care/Skin-to-Skin Contact anytime, anywhere whilst getting on with the rest of your daily routine. It is our mission to build a smarter, stronger and better bonded society through Kangaroo Care/Skin-to-Skin Contact.

A Taste of Cuba in Rockville (PHOTOS)
With all of the growing attention on Cuba I thought it would be a good idea to check out a local shop with a little Cuban flare. The Cuban Corner in Rockville will give you a taste of Cuba without having to leave Montgomery County.
I had my first taste of Cuban coffee while I was working on a story in Miami last year. I was a little confused when I was given such a small serving, that I ordered another cup just to get my morning coffee fix. I later realized that Cuban coffee is quite strong and sweet so there was no need for a second cup. I am a huge coffee fan so I'm always excited to try new types of coffee.
I didn't want to ruin my dinner so I only tried the coffee and tres leches cake. Both were delicious and I got my coffee to go since I had to beat the 6 p.m. rush hour on the beltway. The interior of The Cuban Corner was friendly and quaint. The owner, Joaquin, was happy to talk to me about a little of Cuban history given the recent news of President Obama's planned trip to the island nation next week. He wasn't shy about sharing his opinion either!

Today I'm going to review PC Desktop Cleaner, a Windows tool to avoid having your desktop flooded of icons.
The interface of this software is quite simple and easy to use. Just a few tabs and buttons, and context menus for some actions.
Allows either cleaning (deleting) or archieving files (moving them to another folder).
The application allows to keep track of activity, from controlling the archive folder, to storing usage logs for a given period of months.
One nice feature is rules for automatic actions (like for example move al .txt files to My Documents\notes). It has few but very useful rules.
Finally, we have some options available, like the archive folder, date format, if we want to include folders on the cleaning process or not, or the number of months to log before truncating it.
As a conclussion, although I prefer having a ultra-tidy desktop, if you are a bit disaster keeping yours in order, the rules and archieving (I'm afraid of "auto-delete" stuff) of PC Desktop Cleaner are nice features that can avoid you manual work.

We recognise that one of the biggest challenges we face when tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) in our neighbourhoods is encouraging people to report incidents to us and act as witnesses.
Witnesses are crucial to tackling ASB, whether you are a direct victim or a witness to ASB.
The direct evidence available from a witness of ASB is of a higher quality and value than hearsay (reported by someone who did not see the incident, but was told about it), and adds more weight in Court to get a successful outcome. It shows to a judge the real distress and annoyance of ASB and how this behaviour affects those suffering from the ASB.
We recognise that victims and witnesses need to be supported from the time they initially report the incident, and we will give you advice on how we can help and support you.
On some occasions it may be helpful to try to resolve the issue directly by talking to your neighbour yourself. By doing this you may be able to sort the matter quickly without having to do anything else. However, if this doesn't work or you don't feel it's appropriate, speak to us and we will advise you on the options available.
Where there are neighbour disputes, one of the most effective ways of resolving the issues can be seeking the support of mediation. However, in some cases it may be necessary for legal action to be taken. If you do need to act as a witness in Court, then the following information may be of use to you.
This depends on the type of Court action and whether it applies to civil or criminal law. Civil law deals with disputes between individuals and organisations and is usually heard in a County Court. Criminal law deals with crimes and their punishment and is heard in a Magistrates or Crown Court.
A WHT Officer will attend the Court hearing and support you on the day. When you arrive they will introduce you to the relevant solicitor and legal representatives. They will also introduce you to the Court usher who will show you where to sit and where to go when the case is called. If you have mobility requirements or need translation services we will try to arrange these for you beforehand.
If you attend Court we can arrange transport for you. If you have childcare responsibilities, or if you are a carer, we will try to help out with these arrangements too.
If charges are brought against the person(s) responsible you may be entitled to receive help from the Witness Care Unit. They will provide you with support as a witness until the case concludes.
When the case is called you will be taken to the Court room and seated to the right of the judge. The defendant will usually be seated to the left. On entering the witness box you will be asked to swear an oath on the bible or a book of your faith. If you do not follow a religion you will be asked to 'affirm'. This is a declaration that what you are about to say is true.
The barrister for both the claimant and the defendant may ask you questions about your statement. It is important you respond honestly, keep to the facts and take your time when you answer. If you don't understand a question you should ask them to repeat it. If you are unsure about something or don't know how to answer, it is fine to say "I don't know" or "I don't remember".
Once all the evidence has been heard the judge will make a decision about whether the case has been proved. If the case is not proved, it's not because they do not believe you. The decision could be for reasons based on a legal point of law or the evidence may not be sufficient to demonstrate the level of proof required.
In civil cases the burden of proof is "on the balance of probabilities" (was the incident more likely to have happened than not to have happened?) In criminal cases a higher burden of proof is required and it must be "beyond reasonable doubt".
You will meet with a Trust Officer who will talk to you about the Court's decision and explain what will happen next. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions if there is anything you don't understand.

Yesterday, I went to WIC office to pick up food vouchers and was hoping to talk to someone about the breastfeeding weaning process. My goal was to breastfeed my daughter for a year. She is about to be 15 months old and I am starting to feel it is time to get informed on the process. I am usually attended by a woman and they are really great at answering my questions about my daughter's nutrition. This time I was seen by a male. He seemed to be a bit uncomfortable with answering my question about child-led weaning breastfeeding. He stumbled and began to say that I would need to put my foot down about it.
Maybe my facial expression was obviously telling him I was not convinced so he asked a front desk attendant about it. She began to tell me she is going through the same thing with her baby and was advised not to co-sleep with her child anymore. I thanked her for sharing. It became clear I would need to keep searching for more resources.
My intuition tells me that this process is not just about Tzintia's nutrition. The process is an emotional one. Our attachment ritual does not have to end but will need to transform into something that still mutually provides the affection and bonding that nursing does. I'm not sure exactly how to go about the process but I know I will need to be gentle, creative and take it one day at a time.
The breastfeeding experience can be difficult but it is such a rewarding experience. The weaning process also requires for me to let go of seeing my tzintia as my baby. I feel as though it's the begining of letting go as a parent. Something that we must do little by little to let them grow into their blessings and choose their paths little baby steps at a time. I look forward to learning about breastfeeding education and being a peer counselor because there seems to be a need for these kinds of resources and education
