Why does my dog wail like a human being who has lost someone?
Wednesday February 6 2019
Dr Herbert Muganwa of Countryside Veterinary Clinic, Ntinda in Kampala, says the howling sound a dog makes that is similar to that of a human being mourning usually happens when a dog is smelling a female on heat.
He says dogs can smell females on heat even when they are at a distance and not able to get to them. "One school of thought suggests that male dogs can sense females on heat as far as three miles away. However, another school believes that male dogs don't sense these females they only track them," he says.
He adds that howling is a male dog's way of sending a signal to the female dog on heat.
He, however, notes: "The howling could also be a sign that a dog is in pain, but the dog owner would be able to notice this by the next day."
Dr Muganwa explains that: "Given that we are now in a dog mating season when most female dogs are on heat, and no sign of pain or injury on your dog, the howling in this case, is a sign that it is signaling a female on heat."
He says the mating season and howling usually lasts about three weeks.

June 23 will mark one month since a rare microburst exhaled a devastating blast of wind across Sealy and Austin County. In the storm's aftermath a swath of destruction and injury was revealed.
We are blessed that none of our residents or visitors were seriously injured, or worse. The immediate action of our first responders, city and county public works employees, and those rushing to our aide from across the region was amazing; departments and agencies worked seamlessly to prevent additional injury while also rescuing the wounded and those trapped in the remains of their homes. CenterPoint Energy made quick work of repairing our electric utility infrastructure; they made it look easy, but we know differently. The cleanup and rebuilding continue.
The piles of debris, the leafless and broken trees, and tarp-covered roofless houses I saw in my travels through Sealy and Austin County this past week give away that those displaced still have far to go to return to a sense of normalcy.
My travels also included the Lazy River area and Stephen F. Austin State Park – areas devastated during the April and May 2016 floods. The freshly-painted buildings and rebuilt homes have an uplifting affect while the vacant lots and lifeless structures loudly proclaim that normal is still far away. Nonetheless, the resiliency, determination, and indomitable spirit of those whom I serve make me proud to be a part of this community and a member of the Austin County family.
With the aforementioned weather related events still fresh in our minds we cannot lose sight of our safety and preparedness while we rebuild and heal; we are already headlong into the 2017 Atlantic Basin hurricane season.
The "NOAA expects 11 to 17 named storms this season, more than the 30-year average for the Atlantic Basin."
Sealy might well end up in the crosshairs of a hurricane or its remnants. The Federal Emergency Management Administration has a very profound adage: When there is no hurricane: Make a hurricane plan. The components of a hurricane plan are to understand your risk, make an emergency plan, make a disaster supply kit, purchase flood insurance, familiarize yourself with local emergency plans, and be able to receive wireless emergency alerts. If you haven't already, visit www.Austincounty.com and sign up for the new emergency notification system by clicking the "Regroup" button on the homepage. To find out how you can become better prepared go to www.texasprepares.org or www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare or www.FEMA.gov
Hurricanes are not surprises; we know when one is coming. Prepare now! If we are subjected to another disaster, the courageous members of our community, its first responders, public employees, and elected officials stand ready to face that challenge.
Love where you live Sealy, Texas!
Chris Noble is the police chief at Sealy Police Department.

From the department of "you gotta see it to believe it": Nutmeg the Chicken-Dog and Maggie, playing with a large, pink plastic bead (far left towards bottom). Yes, it really happened. Maggie would pick up the ball and throw it into the air, and Nutmeg would chase after it. It only lasted for about a minute, but I do believe a breakthrough in poultry/canine relationships was reached.
[and I caught a photo of it!]
On an unrelated note: Spouse baked two gluten-free baguettes yesterday afternoon. I'm currently at work, eating warm baguette slices with butter and black cherry spread, along with a piping hot cup of café-au-lait. It brings back memories of Paris and the cheap (but tasty) petit déjeuner the youth hostels would serve in the morning. I'm a happy, happy girl. Cheers!

Review: "Solo - A Star Wars Story"
by Chris Feil
Han Solo isn't exactly a character that has our affections enmeshed in his origins. As played in the original Star Wars saga by peak hunk Harrison Ford, Han is about 50% swagger, 30% smart ass, and 20% emotional walls. He's a crucial element, but one whose history isn't essential to the story we all know and love - so in tracing his beginnings, Solo - A Star Wars Story needs a strong point of view to be more than a spin on the hampster wheel. It's sadly almost there...
The film's solution is to make Han's origin story a silly fun romp, though it takes roughly half of the running time for all of its pieces to click into place, as if Solo realizes what it needs to be mid-movie. Director Ron Howard also makes it essentially a pirate story, with the galaxy's political unrest revealing a world of thieves and marauders. What could have taken him back to the forgotten fantasy days of Willow is ultimately playing it too safe and unsure.
Like Rogue One, this side entry to the franchise isn't afraid to be grungier or even a little weirder than what we would see on the Galaxy Far Away's main stage. At its best, Solo flirts with Jim Henson fantasy strangeness, bursting with playful creature design and gadgetry and idiosyncratic costume design. Pair that with pristine smoky visuals from cinematographer Bradford Young, still one of the best in the business, and Solo sure is a lot of fun to look at. How can it not be with Alden Ehrenreich's devilish charm doing admirable work to fill Ford's shoes?
In this regard, we get more rewarding and layered introduction to those other beloved characters in Han's orbit: Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian. Donald Glover slips into the charismatic, cape-donning role originated by Billy Dee Williams with delight, with an evident passion for the saga that's kept oddly subdued elsewhere. When Glover arrives around the film's midpoint, his presence is what finally kicks the film into its sweet spot of sly fun. Meanwhile Chewbacca surprisingly serves as the heart of the film and its sole emotional underpinning, serving as the one of the few links to the saga's crucial element of the search for justice.
Unfortunately for nearly its entire slew of other original characters, Solo doesn't make the case for them as crucial players in the history of this universe. It's already a conundrum that the film would give Han a pre-Leia love interest, and the results don't fare any better with the unremarkable Qi'ra played with minimum distinctiveness by Emilia Clarke. Woody Harrelson's Beckett is more leash-holder to Han than mentor and Paul Bettany's villainous Dryden Vos struggles to register beyond simple narrative necessity.
It becomes a bursting supporting ensemble without much intrigue or screen time, save for the ever flawless Thandie Newton. Her Val is like a life-sized action figure for gay people, with her fabulous costuming and signature unimpressed demeanor - but alas, not enough of her either. And there's also Phoebe Waller-Bridge's revolutionary droid L3, hilariously meeting the Star Wars quota for kooky robots we love for their own sake.
Does this sound like both too much and not enough? Sure. The film tracks Han's team's heist for intergalactic uber-fuel as Han tries to get back home to rescue his abandoned Qi'ra, and its plot messiness is mostly forgivable on sheer goodwill. While the film doesn't always serve him, Ehrenreich does the heaviest lifting to keep us engaged as Solo drifts from one disparate fascination to another. It doesn't allow him to play with much of the oddness that's made him such a fascinating performer in the likes of Hail, Caesar! but he does show himself ready to shoulder a massive enterprise. It t'were so simple - he's a star.

Animal Feeding Rounds with Farmer Rob are the highlight for children of all ages on a family holiday at Cwmcrwth Farm.
Animal Feeding Rounds
Farmer Rob loves having help from parents and children with his animal feeding rounds in the mornings. He starts about 8.30am on weekdays, 8am on Saturday and 9.30am on Sunday. Feeding rounds take place every day from February Half Term through to mid November and last about an hour. For stays from From November to February please enquire about prior to booking to avoid disappointment.
Hands on with the Animals
We tend to follow the same general routine during animal feeding rounds to help build the children's confidence during their stay. Starting with the smaller animals in pets corner. Here children and adults are able to stroke the rabbits, feel their whiskers and touch a chicken's feathers and crown. If they are very brave they can hold the bantam chickens Esmerelda, Clementine and Molly.
Depending on the time of year you visit we may have lambs to bottle feed. Bottle feeding the lambs is a huge hit. The children quickly choose their favourite lamb, giving it a name and cuddling it throughout their stay. As our lambs are generally from quads or triplets their sizes vary making them ideal for toddlers to teenagers. Come in mid March to mid May for bottle feeding. From mid April we begin halter training the lambs and then it's time for "lamb on a lead" when the children love leading their lamb to the field each morning.
Farmer Rob's favourite animals are pigs and he loves the rare breed Oxford Sandy and Black pigs. Four 10 week old weaners have just arrived at the farm to start a new herd. Probably too large to cwtch but they love to snuffle your wellies. You can help feed them and clean out their pen. They will soon be friendly enough to feel their course hair, give them a tickle and even touch their curly tails.
If the chickens are feeling generous they may lay eggs to collect for breakfast. Children love opening the nest box to see who has laid an egg but only after they have let the chickens out for a run and fed them a tasty breakfast.
We have 4 rare breed Golden Guernsey goats named Heidi, Daisy, Euan and Freddie who love to feed from buckets and on dry days we lead them out to the field. While our new pygmy nanny with her cute little kid are just the right size for the smaller children to bucket feed and stroke.
Millie and Dom are always hungry. On dry days the children lead them to the field and on wet days we feed them in their stable or barn. In addition the children get the chance to groom the donkeys and catch a ride one morning.
Farmer Rob also takes the children to visit the Highland Cattle one morning. They get up close and sometimes they get chance to comb their long hair.
If the children work hard there might even be a quad bike or tractor ride thrown in!

Nation & World
US business leaders say Cuba is still open, at least to them
When the Trump administration unveiled new Cuba regulations, it sparked a fresh round of hand-wringing in Washington over the return to a posture not seen since the Cold War. But now, behind closed doors, the American business community is quietly spreading the word that things are not so different afterall.
Indeed, what Trump seems to have accomplished is to make it harder for everyday Americans to meet to everyday Cubans, while leaving the doors open for corporate interests to make money on the island.
"The U.S. government has actually made it easier for U.S. companies to engage directly with the Cuban private sector," the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's U.S.-Cuba Business Council wrote in a private note to council members that was reviewed by McClatchy. "Specifically, the rule simplifies and expands the ability for U.S. companies to export directly to the Cuban private sector, private sector agricultural cooperatives and private sector entrepreneurs."
Many Republicans, including some who wanted Trump to tighten restrictions on engagement with Cuba, agree. Much of Florida's Cuban-American congressional delegation, including Sen. Marco Rubio and Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, offered only tepid support of the new regulations, blaming "bureaucrats" with watering down the measures.
The administration, one Republican congressional aide said, "caved to business interests."
"Because of the fact that, in the administration, not many people know and understand Cuba, it was very easy for the business sector to pull one over on some of the government officials in the administration," that source said.
According to the new rules, "people-to-people" exchanges are banned. Americans who want to meet Cubans will now have to travel in groups accompanied by an authorized representative of the trip's sponsoring organization. Americans are prohibited from doing business with 180 entities tied to the Cuban military and intelligence and security services, including 83 hotels, stores, marinas, tourist agencies, industries and even two rum makers owned by the government. U.S. companies also cannot invest in a sprawling economic development zone in Mariel that Cuba envisions as crucial to its commercial future.
That sounds expansive, but lobbyists, consultants and lawyers who represent companies doing business in Cuba say the list is actually quite narrow, focused primarily on the tourism industry. Even then, it does not affect some key tourism brands
Kezia McKeague, who leads the Cuba practice at the McLarty Associates consulting firm, says that even the prohibitions on financial transactions with military-run entities include broad exceptions if the company can argue it is benefiting the Cuban people more than the government.
The Trump administration successfully drafted regulations that scare away American travelers and non-committed business leaders while maintaining access for the companies that want it, said John Kavulich, president of the US-Cuba Trade and Economic Council. The next question is how the new rules will be enforced.
Kavulich said the effects of Trump's regulations could have been even lighter had Washington under the Obama administration and Cuba taken greater advantage of the opportunities presented by the thaw in their relationship to establish greater ties.
"There is not a substantial quantity of impact because so few were impacted; and this is the fault of the Obama Administration and Castro Administration for not permitting more when they could have permitted more," Kavulich said, noting there are only about 52 U.S. businesses on the island.
While small, the nascent private sector accounts for nearly 20 percent of the gross income of the Cuban economy, according to the Havana Consulting Group, a firm that analyzes the Cuban economy for businesses looking to invest and which considers this sector as "a necessary and essential force in the development of the country."
The Trump team has cautioned that it could change the rules and make it tougher to do business there. The uncertainty is enough to give some CEOs pause. McKeague of McLarty Associates said that it's clear to her, from conversations she has had with the State Department, that at least the diplomatic community is worried the administration's rhetoric is scaring the U.S. business community away from deals that the regulations actually allow.
"They are right to be concerned," she said. "Cuba is already a tough place to do business. The added complications posed by the new regulations and the headlines about the tense bilateral relationship don't help."
But business leaders say right now the regulations actually make getting business licenses to work with the private sector easier and likely expand the list of products that can be sent to Cuba.
John Hughes who served as deputy director of sanctions policy at Obama's State Department, said the new regulations did two main things: make it harder for individual travelers to go visit and create a list of businesses and entities that U.S. officials can't work with. He argued that people who are eager for more engagement are making a big deal over a relatively minor change in policy.
"It's really not that much," Hughes said. "If you look at Obama's overall changes, this is about five percent of that, maybe less. It's a pretty small change."
The developments have only focused those who are most committed to Cuba, said Pedro Freyre, an attorney with the Akerman law firm in Miami who represents JetBlue, Carnival Cruise Line and other companies operating in Cuba.
Even without regulations, Cuba is a tough place to operate.
"We have to be honest about the enactment of these rules," Freyre said. "It's not a positive development for engagement, but its also not the end of engagement."

S imply stated, yet extremely wise words. It is clear that businesses can't maintain the status quo while the marketplace around them is in constant flux; Players in the contingent labor industry are no exception.
"What's dangerous is not to evolve".― Jeff Bezos
For example, consider the relationship between VMS vendors and MSPs in the contingent labor industry. In the not so distant past, VMSs and MSPs acted independently throughout the new business process. They were also agnostic – quite careful not to play favorites. But that's not what customers are looking for today; they are looking to their MSP and VMS partners to be more strategic and to jointly deliver more specific value. Customers want clear counsel on the best program decisions and the underlying rationales. They want insights, not noncommittal answers. They want their VMS and MSP providers to be innovative and ready to engage at a deeper level from the earliest stages of implementation.
To meet these evolving customer needs, the relationship between vendors and MSPs has also evolved. Just as Darwin observed species that "learned to cooperate," MSP and VMS providers have found plenty of common ground and through engaged cooperation, all parties (including customers) are benefiting. When MSPs and VMSs are aligned, the combination of strong, innovative VMS technology and experienced, relevant MSP services creates a value proposition for the customer that is more strategically aligned to the customer's business objectives. The message to the customer is clear: "We are in this together from the beginning and through the entire life cycle of our relationship with you. Together, we can provide the best cohesive solution to fit your needs." It's a strategic message unlike the tactical messages typically communicated in the past.
Are you going to work with the same VMS or MSP every time? Of course not. You look at the opportunity at hand and determine your top choice to provide the best possible solution for each individual case. The critical next step is to commit to each other for the entirety of that opportunity. The key is to make this decision early and be coordinated from the beginning. The VMSs and MSPs that commit to each other and the customer early on will enable mutual success.
The IQN Ecosystem and our MSP partnerships help global companies make contingent labor management more efficient, uncovering opportunities while also mitigating risks. For information about the future of the VMS and MSP relationship, follow this link to learn more.

Learn about the anatomy of human heart through these printable diagrams of a heart. Studying anatomy of the heart should be accompanied by a figure or visual illustration, and a diagram will be really helpful. From the provided list below, we have labeled and unlabeled version of heart diagrams that you can choose to download.
As you can see in the diagram of a heart above, the heart contains 4 chambers: the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. The heart is the organ that helps supply blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. The heart is covered with a fluid-filled cavity called the pericardial cavity. The heart wall is made of 3 layers: epicardium, myocardium and endocardium. The walls and lining of the pericardial cavity are a special membrane known as the pericardium. We'll show you the blood circulation through the heart diagram below.
The heart takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries. These human heart diagrams use different colors to show different parts and also labels to show a number of important heart component. The unlabeled version of the diagrams are given below.
With these diagrams, we hope you find more information about the blood flow through heart system in our body. Get more educational diagrams in our site by browsing through numerous categories!

The reasons I using the weekly chart is that this may be the the really big opportunities are previously Forex market. I know how the course is on interim momentum stock investing but make certain thing that i learned over time, the amount of one mistake amongst day traders, even day traders with often of experience; they forget that large money players in current market are visiting longer term charts. In fact, the majority of the the guys that I knew as hedge fund business may possibly have a coronary, hold a heart attack, community told them they in order to look inside a five minute chart.
When raising private money for your real estate investment project, raise A whole lot of money. Set a big number and go software package .. Don't set a small, meager, "oh I'll just settle for this" cell number. Go big.
First the what. A hedge fund is a privately held investment budget. They are not open for your public purchaser shares in. In fact most require massive minimum expenses. Many over million. The investments are managed through small associated with people, sometimes just one. The Andrew Farkas success strategy are paid a fee to direct the investments. Investors are limited as to when they get in or out. Some funds have quarterly windows of opportunity, some semi-annual and some annual.
The Hedge Funds and investment banks that left business in 2008 will be replaced by another group of major guitar players. Who they will be, I cannot say. But, they will bring liquidity and when they will bring opportunity.
Tons of traders constantly asking the strategy actually finds such amazing trades on this type of consistent cornerstone. Due to the fact that this is usually a proprietary strategy and is needed on a hefty Hedge Fund Investing, we can't go into detail about exactly how this strategy works. If this top secret strategy would leak on the public the sum of the Forex market would change dramatically. So we're keeping it a secret right at this moment but you have the probability to cash in on these patterns by utilizing the Currency Cash flow Machine.
Some companies will ask an agent to complete FREE BPO work for the chance to get a REO listings. Getting be risky or rewarding for the agent. The agent isn't necessarily offered the REO listing for that same property they are asked in order to the BPO for, you would like to it is but one in related. I think a broker should always google the company to see what other agents can see with that one company. I have been burned by firms that pretend offer you REO opportunities just in order that can obtain a free bpo from i. BPO's take time, thought and calories. Research the company before accepting the assignment.
Or as Andrew Mickey has pointed out, take a look at at oversold junior resource stocks, which haven't run as must. We expect that to change, even so. Fundamentals have never looked so great.

In December 2016 the village board hired GovHR USA to analyze village salaries, compare them to those in similar suburbs and recommend changes.
MacGillis said he was hesitant at first but now is glad the village chose to pay for the study.
He said the data gathered helped speed up negotiating sessions with the three Round Lake employee unions: Public Works Local 150, Police Officers MAP No. 444 and Police Supervisors MAP No. 459.
"They were faster because of the information we gave them because we had information to back up what we're doing," MacGillis said. "Employees were happy, the administration was happy, I'm happy we didn't spend so much money on attorneys for it."

On Sunday Oct. 30, Geneseo's dance organization Orchesis presented its fall showcase "Beyond the Studio Mirrors" in Wadsworth Auditorium. The house was packed with parents, friends and community members eagerly awaiting the student-choreographed production.
The show opened with the energetic number "See You Dance," choreographed by freshman Michelle Graham. The hip-hop routine showcased the dancers' breakdancing abilities and general talent in the particular genre. Although the execution proved impressive, the repetitive nature of the song was a bit monotonous, especially for an opening number.
The most unique aspect of the showcase was the vast variety in genres, although modern dance appeared most prevalent. The show also included many levels of dance experience as well as genres, giving anyone a chance to be involved in the artistic expression. While beginner routines exhibited simple yet fun moves, the more advanced ones exhibited long-developed technique.
Sophomore Abby Kindler's "To Build a Home" seemed to meld a bit of modern with the classic extensions of ballet. The dancers utilized a wooden bench for many of their syncopated movements. It was junior Chelsey Barker's "On the Radio," however, which shined in the contemporary genre. The girls exhibited sheer talent as they leapt through their barefooted routine.
A tap number opened the second act, accompanied by the Glee cast's "Loser Like Me." The dancers' quirky rainbow suspenders and sheer joy in performance were enough to make the audience smile. Yet another distinctive number was "Reel Around the Sun," an Irish step dancing routine. Irish step dancing in itself is known as a difficult and highly disciplined form of dance, and these girls effortlessly exhibited their skill in the style.
The problem with featuring so many numbers in one sitting is their tendency to blend together after a while. That being said, it was the guest performance by Geneseo Bhangra that really stole the show. The well-known team of dancers took the stage in beautiful and remarkably detailed Bhangra costumes in bright shades of orange, green and purple. Although the performance itself was about 10 minutes, the energy of the performers kept the audience riveted. They used ornate sticks and accordion-like clackers to add to the rhythmic feel of the dance. The group undeniably garnered the biggest applause out of all the numbers.
The last two numbers included much humor and nostalgia. Seniors Andrew Kopp's and Nolan Powers' flirtatious co-ed number "Love with the Butterflies" prompted laughter from the audience. In the spirit of Halloween weekend, the Orchesis officers partook in a remix of Disney princess themes in the final number of the show. The girls dressed as Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White, Pocahontas and Tinkerbell. Following the last number, the entire cast rejoiced in a freestyle to the audience's applause

Chair hire for weddings and events
Finding the right seating for a wedding or event is always difficult, but chair hire for weddings or events is easier than you think. Just check online in the uk, and you will be blessed with ideas. But you also want it to look stylish, but importantly it has to be comfortable and for a big corporate day or wedding most people want something different. The remit or plan for our clients is usually to have something original that makes their day stand out from others that they have been to.
Having met with some great event planners lately as well as attending a lot of fabulous wedding fairs, we are amazed at the variety that is out there these days! Of course most venues offer you their standard seating but these can now be dressed with sashes, bows, balloons, ribbon and lace to match your theme. Often though, if you speak to them early enough, venues can sometimes arrange for padded, metal and wooden chairs to be included in the booking if desired, for an extra charge.
For those who require a more unique style of seating you can have anything from fold-down seating, picnic tables, hay bales and of course Deck Chairs. We have seen a number of events where the hay bales have been dressed with coloured material. This creates a stunning look and co-ordinates well with flower displays, tableware and lighting, especially for an outdoor event. Another great idea that we've seen for a beach wedding is when a bride matches her wedding flowers with beautiful end displays on the aisle seats. This creates an absolutely stunning walkway and this idea could be used for any event.
Here at Anywhere Deck Chairs we can also match our chairs to fit in with your needs, our deck chair hire for weddings are perfect in every way and you can rent them for a day, week or even longer. Another example is our traditional striped chairs can be hired to create a 'beside the sea' or 'vintage' theme. Or you could pick from the range of colours, as shown on our website, to match in with your wedding, party or corporate event.

Song is Co-Founder and CTO of NewSky Security. Song is also a white hat (ethical) hacker and security expert for W3C.
The internet of things (IoT) is being increasingly adopted by the world. According to this Forbes article, "29% of organizations globally and across all industries adopted IoT" in 2017. This made IoT security more important for organizations. When a vulnerability is discovered in an IoT system, how do you mitigate the problem without interrupting the business?
How IoT Vulnerabilities Are Handled Today
Let's look at how IoT vulnerabilities are mitigated today by using connected medical devices as an example. On April 17, ICS-CERT issued an advisory on a defibrillator, exposing a vulnerability on this device. While no details were released on when this vulnerability was reported and how long it took to patch the faulty devices, in the advisory we found CVE-2017-12712 was assigned to this issue. From the method by which Common Vulnerability Exposure numbers are assigned, we can infer this issue was reported back in 2017, most likely around fall time. At least six months have passed since the vulnerability was discovered.
Here is a typical life cycle of an IoT device vulnerability. A researcher finds a security vulnerability on an IoT device, either from a penetration test or by other methods such as a source code audit. The researcher reports the vulnerability to the device manufacturer and keeps this secret from the rest of the world for a given period of time (aka a "grace period"). The grace period is typically 60 to 90 days so that the manufacturer can develop a fix for the problem (i.e., a firmware patch). After the grace period, the researcher will release the discovery to a broader audience so as to create awareness of the vulnerability and affected devices. The researcher can then report the discovery to the proper authorities, and a CVE number is assigned to keep track of this issue.
Both researchers and attackers are looking for vulnerabilities. When a researcher finds an IoT vulnerability and reports it, attackers may also find the same vulnerability, around the same time or even earlier, since attackers are often better equipped. From the moment an issue is reported, attackers probably start attacking devices with that vulnerability.
This left us wondering: During the months after an issue is discovered and device manufactures busy developing patches, are devices and the patients using them properly protected? When a patch is developed, how will it be delivered to the devices?
IoT Security And Business Interruption
Different industries use different approaches to resolve vulnerabilities in an IoT system. For connected medical devices, issuing a recall on the affected device is appropriate. A recall will describe the make and model of devices affected and advise how to patch the device. Before the device is patched, it is vulnerable to attacks, and using an unpatched device has the potential to be controlled by attackers. When patching a device, it requires the user to stop using the device, install a patch and test the patched device before the device can be used again.
In other industries where device usage is less critical, device patches are often delayed. Take video surveillance, for example. Eighteen months after the Dyn Attack, which was performed by vulnerable cameras, a simple Shodan search can still find thousands of vulnerable cameras online. And research shows that the majority of IoT devices (cameras, printers and routers) can be hacked into a botnet in under 30 minutes.
While it's important to protect IoT devices from being controlled by attackers, it's also critical to understand the need to keep businesses running. To summarize the status of IoT security, we see there are two windows left open for attackers to gain access to an IoT device:
1. When a vulnerability is discovered but a patch is not available.
2. When a patch is available but not all running devices are patched.
In the first window, the vulnerability is only known to the researcher, device manufacturer and potentially attackers who also found the issue. A vulnerability that is only known to a limited number of people is often referred to as a zero-day vulnerability. IoT security systems need to provide solutions against zero-day attacks.
For the second window, when a patch is available, another challenge IoT security systems face is how to apply the patch to the affected device and minimize the business downtime caused by patching devices.
An ideal IoT security system should minimize the first window, provide visibility of potential zero-day attacks when patches are not available and minimize the second window, especially to limit the system downtime caused by patching devices and reduce the expense it might cost an organization.
We need a protection mechanism that works faster than hackers do. It should take minutes to protect an IoT system when a vulnerability is discovered, thus protecting a company's data and also ensuring it can conduct business as usual.

When Beyoncé headlines a festival, you know things will be next level. After stints at Glastonbury, Made in America, and that unforgettable "Beychella" moment back in April, the queen of pop is used to raising the fashion bar for performances. Case in point: Yesterday at the Global Citizen Festival, she and her husband Jay-Z brought their act to Johannesburg with fanfare and a slew of custom designer looks chosen by Beyoncé's team of Zerina Ackers and Jenke Ahmed Tailly, plus Jay-Z's longtime stylist June Ambrose.
Each outfit had its own flavor. Jay-Z stuck to royal purple suits by Calvin Klein and a series of casual pieces like a Sacai's sleek Truth hoodie, while Beyoncé provided the night's show-stoppers in several pieces that paid homage to the festival's location and the Carter's affinity for Afrocentric art. The sculptural shape of the Balmain top she wore to perform "Ape$hit" echoed the silhouettes Olivier Rousteing has been featuring within his collections of late, but the addition of a plume of feathers and Egyptian hieroglyphs brought a new verve. Likewise, Mary Katrantzou's puff sleeve cape paired with a sequin-encrusted body suit stayed true to the designer's boldly ornate ethos, but a map print of Africa's 54 countries added another level of visual interest.
As with the On the Run II tour, each segment of the performance came with its own style statement connected to the songs. To perform a special rendition of "Halo" with a local choir and her soulful duet with Ed Sheeran, the star wore a voluminous Ashi Studio gown with cascades of fuchsia tulle ruffles, while "Crazy in Love" called for an intricately beaded Esteban Cortazar mini dress accented by jewelry in the style of traditional Ndebele neck rings. The neon yellow Versace catsuit—topped off with an outsize hat—complemented the anthemic "Run the World (Girls)," and an emerald Quiteria & George cape dress with a bodice covered in hundreds of crystals was a fittingly dramatic finale.
Several of the outfits were assembled on site, and bringing the concert's wardrobe to life was a labor of love. The effort put into this special project may have something to do with the message behind Global Citizen. More than a mere music festival, this year's event commemorates 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela and celebrates his lifetime of political and philanthropic work. In an open letter posted on her personal site and in the South African newspaper Sowetan, Beyoncé outlined how Mandela's influence has shaped her life. The star recalled their meeting in 2004 at the AIDS Benefit Concert in Cape Town and how Mandela's humility and capacity for forgiveness continues to inspire her. "You made it possible for so many people like me to reject impossibilities and understand our capabilities in making lasting change in the world," she wrote, noting that her entire family holds the leader in high regard. Given the Carters' respect for Mandela, it's no wonder that they brought their A-game.

I've never really understood the phrase above, but I'm guessing that it fits here.
It has become clear over the past few months that the Disraeli bridge rehabilitation is a big issue for the 100,000 residents of Northeast Winnipeg. It's also clear that the NDP government has no plan to provide traffic relief for its citizens.
While the City of Winnipeg is attempting to have half of the Disraeli bridges (one lane each way) open during construction, some people I've spoken to who are involved with the project have mentioned that this plan is not as easy as we'd hope.
Most people know that there will be some periods of full closure, in part because there are some construction tasks (such as pouring concrete) that require that there be no traffic using any part of the single-span bridge. What is not clear yet is how long these periods of full closure will last. What is clear is that there needs to be a plan for reducing traffic gridlock when the Disraeli is completely shut down.
That's where the Louise Bridge comes in: the plan I've been putting forward, with the support of Councillor Jeff Browaty, is for the Louise Bridge to be twinned immediately. This requires funding from the province, but there's federal infrastructure cash available, too.
The plan:
- Throw up a new two-lane span beside the existing Louise
- Perform Disraeli rehab
- Replace original two-lane Louise bridge with a second two-lane span.
But there's an issue here: the city would like to realign both the Louise Bridge and Higgins Avenue, connecting Point Douglas to Nairn on the east side of Watt/Archibald. This project involves significant property acquisition, brownfield mitigation (maybe not full clean-up yet), and some serious planning to get it right. It will also take an estimated $100 million and more than one season to complete.
So the best plan for immediate traffic relief for the Northeast is not the plan the city wants long-term. But there is a way to get the city everything it needs (but maybe doesn't yet realize it wants):
Construct a temporary second span for the Louise Bridge.
As long as the Department of Fisheries and Oceans approves, we can add three temporary piers alongside the current bridge and assemble a prefabricated temporary bridge that is wide enough for two lanes of traffic. Once the Disraeli is finished, the city can begin work on its ambitious Point Douglas realignment project. After completion, the temporary bridge and its piers can be removed, and the original Louise can become a heritage active transportation bridge.
Incredibly preliminary cost estimates place the construction of a temporary Louise span between two and four million dollars.
So what stands in the way of this idea? The Doer government needs to show its support for the people of Northeast Winnipeg by committing to funding the temporary bridge, and the city of Winnipeg needs to make a final decision on whether or not the Point Douglas realignment plan should go forward.
No matter what the city decides, it's essential that the provincial government guarantee that there will always be a minimum of six bridge lanes open at all times between Main Street and Henderson, whether on the Redwood, the Disraeli, or the Louise. We have eight bridge lanes open now, with almost 90,000 daily trips across them, and four bridge lanes (two at Redwood, two at Louise) are not enough.

Featured Artist: Vanphirst
Q: Where are you from?
I'm from a village in England, but I live in Vancouver, Canada.
Q: How would you best describe your art style?
Abstract geometric for my t-shirt work, although my background is as a graphic designer where my work is mainly typography based.
Q: Where do you find your inspiration when creating your art?
Since moving to BC my work has definitely been inspired by the local mountains, ocean and waterfalls. But often ideas pop up from anything and anywhere. The shower's good, that's a bit of a cliche isn't it, but I'm often sketching ideas in water onto shower tiles. I should put a desk in there. Often one idea sparks off another and on from there, lots get discarded and when something just isn't working (quite often) I leave it, for an hour, a day, a week and then come back to it later.
Q: When did you know you wanted to make a career in the art world?
As far back as I can remember. The first house I lived in probably still has paint on the exterior walls where my Mum used to tape paper up for me to daub away on. I loved practicing my handwriting (thank you Ladybird book of Handwriting) and remember particularly liking how the number 75 looked...err or was it number 73...either way numbers make lovely shapes. Art was always my favourite subject and for me, my art teacher at school pointed me towards the local art college, once I got there I thought, oh my gosh what am I doing here...but then once I'd settled in I loved it. From there I went on to do a degree in Graphic Design and then worked for a Design Agency in London before working for my own clients.
Q: How does art impact your day to day life or your impression of the world as a whole?
I love it when a city has urban art dotted about for everyone to enjoy, when you see art in an unexpected place it helps you think and see things differently than you previously did before.
Q: What does a day of creating artwork look like for you and how do you start your creative process?
Once everyone has left for work and school I open my mac, look at what I've been working on, get stuck, leave it, work on something else, look in the cupboard for chocolate, sit back down, work on a few new ideas, go for a run outside. Sit back down focus on getting work done, jot down any ideas I had while running. Then I wander over to the cupboard to see if there's any chocolate that I missed the first time I looked. This system works very well, although I need to cut out the chocolate part.
Q: When you're not creating, what do you like to do with your time?
Anytime by the ocean is time well spent, likewise anytime spent in second hand book shops in little English villages or hanging out on the top of a mountain with family and friends. If there was a second hand bookshop on top of a mountain, with a sea view, I'd probably have to move there.
Q: What artist (either current or past) do you most admire and why?
It's mainly designers who come to mind, Jan Tschichold and Muller Brockman were influences early on but I do love Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore's work, their pieces make me happy just by looking at them and you just can't beat a Turner sky.

Price continues to sit between the 100 and 200-hour moving averages
The break of the near-term trendline support saw price fall back below the 100-hour MA (red line) in trading yesterday but sellers were unable to search for a move below the 6 February lows around 109.60. For buyers, more importantly, price is holding above the 200-hour MA (blue line) which means that the near-term bias isn't turning more bearish yet.
That said, risk sentiment isn't lending a hand to buyers as they seek to recapture near-term control of the pair. Asian equities are weighed lower as a result of Wall Street's poor performance overnight and US equity futures are also still slumping to start the day with E-minis down by 0.5%:
Given that backdrop, buyers are finding it tough to crack back above the 100-hour MA as price has been rejected on three occasions already since overnight trading. As it stands, the upside for the pair looks rather limited with the 110.00 handle still holding firm. That will almost certainly continue as trade talks are left hanging now with Trump and Xi not going to meet before the March deadline.
Looking ahead, be wary of a potential break below the 200-hour MA near 109.50 on an extended case of risk aversion. If sellers breach that level, expect more downside pressure to follow towards the 22 January support @ 109.15 and the 109.00 handle.

Michael Knittel is the Founder of Lagunitas Asset Management, a company that helps smart people make smart investments.
I was honored to interview him for Journey To Success Radio.

For the past 17 years, MIchael has been laser focused on empowering and educating investors, while helping them save money in the process. Since he became one of the youngest licensed investment advisors in the country at 21 years old, he has become an expert in helping investors defy down markets. Whether it was the Internet bubble that burst in 2000, or the housing market which popped in 2008, his experience in helping investors protect the downside of their portfolios has truly set him apart from his peers.
In 2013, he founded Lagunitas Asset Management, which through our mantra - "Helping Smart People Make Smart Investments"™ - communicates and pierces the heart of what he strives to accomplish for high net worth individuals, business owners, pension plans, and endowments here in the U.S. Because of the "Boom and Bust" nature of global markets, he feels that it is even more important than ever to have a professional advisor by any investors side to watch over their hard-earned dough!
His chief initiative at Lagunitas is to find unique ways to give back to the community, and is able to accomplish this is by helping charities raise funds, promoting them on social media, and throwing large scale gala's in their honor. As a result, Lagunitas has partnered with the Sacramento Sheriff's and their incredible charity, the Sheriff's Community Impact Program.
Outside of work, Michael Knittel resides in El Dorado Hills with his two sons, Gabriel and Jacob. As a full-time single parent, he also coaches a number of youth sports in order to help young men gain confidence and self-worth through athletic achievement and team play!
As a fee-only Registered Investment Advisory firm that does not charge commissions, our hearts and minds are directly aligned with those of the people we serve. As the investments of our clients rise and fall over time, so does our compensation. Thus it is of the highest importance to choose only the most prudent investments for each individual client, and do everything we can to help each person succeed and achieve positive results.
The name Lagunitas, rather the place and town that's nestled in the San Geronimo Valley just outside of Point Reyes, California, is a natural beauty that holds a special place in the heart of our founder. Every summer of his childhood was spent in this valley where at night the fog rolls in from the coast, and burns off each morning to reveal soaring Turkey Buzzards and California Condors amongst the towering Redwoods that Northern California is famous for. Translated, Lagunitas means "little lagoons", and in choosing this name for our firm, we aim to reflect the beauty of a job well done, while also tying it to the place that our founder's grandparents came to when they moved to California over 75 years ago.

Expert warns over stem cell future
A world expert on adult stem cell research has warned Ireland must look to the future to protect the population.
Prof Colin McGuckin, director of the newly launched Adult Stem-cell Foundation of Ireland, said debate was needed on the controversial issue for the health of Irish citizens.
The Vatican's adviser on stem cell issues said like all countries in Europe, Ireland must be ready for new treatments.
"We cannot simply look back and say, 'I wish we had prepared for that'," said Prof McGuckin. "In my career, I worked with children who would be alive today if more stem cell banks had been available."
The foundation is dedicated to providing awareness and information about adult stem cells, research, development and therapies, as well as supporting people in need of or undergoing stem cell therapy.
It will also back the development of an all-Ireland stem cell bank and to support adult stem cell research and development.
Prof McGuckin believes Ireland must fund adult stem cell research and be ready to understand the socio-economic issues surrounding cellular therapy, stem cell banking, facilities provision, law and the relevant medical technology.
Adult stem cells are found in bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, skeletal muscle, skin and teeth. They have been used to successfully treat leukaemia and related blood cancers for years.
Umbilical cord blood and bone marrow treatments have seen the highest success rate to date and can treat leukaemia, lymphoma, sickle cell disease, thalassaemia and immune deficiencies.
More than 70 diseases are treatable with cord blood and over 15 clinical trials are under way for new conditions.
Prof McGuckin said umbilical cord blood, with 130 million births per year, remains the most available stem cell source.
"The health of Irish citizens demands that we debate now what we can do and umbilical cord blood and adult stem cells must be part of that debate," added the director of the Cell Therapy Research Institute in Lyon, France.
Prof McGuckin's research group was the first to identify a rare group of cells with similar characteristics to embryonic stem cells and to develop them into non-blood tissues such as liver, brain and pancreas.
His latest clinical trial includes the use of a child's own cord blood for the treatment of severe neonatal hypoxia, which may lead to cerebral palsy.
He is also developing a treatment for children with congenital bone malformations such as cleft palate, using the child's own mesenchymal stem cells to make bone implants

Exercising Power
My wife and I live in a fantastic house. It's almost perfect in size for the two of us, sits on a small corner lot and has alot of character. The house was built in the 40's and, of course, has had some upgrades throughout its life over the years. While most were done quite well, others look to have been do-it-yourself projects by previous owners. One example is the dishwasher. On the surface one might look at it and see nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever. But the unique characteristic is what lies beneath the machine. A while back it decided to quit working, so in order to investigate it a bit (all that I'm capable of, really) I went to shut down the power going into it. Over the next few minutes I shut off every breaker in the house and the thing would still purr on. I then went and flipped the main breaker and it still continued to chug away. Fascinated (and a bit frustrated), I decided that this job would require someone with much more experience than I.
As I often think on how oddly that dishwasher was wired, the Lord speaks to me. You see, I'm just like that dishwasher - ALWAYS connected directly to the ultimate power source, God Himself. Many times you hear people in ministries pleading for power on high or seemingly begging for the power to overcome such and such. It's almost as if I can see God peering out of Heaven and saying, "All power and authority has already been given to you, stop asking!". For those who know Him, we are now "hard-wired" if you will, "spliced" into His life giving flow of life and power. If you're looking for a switch to flip on when you need it and off when you don't, then I'd be inclined to say that you just don't understand His power at all.
We must be careful to never take this power for granted however. You see, the dishwasher would sit there until the end of time, still hooked up to the power but broken down and out of service. When we accept Jesus, we receieve power. Each and every moment of every day we choose to exercise that power, that authority - making use of what power we have been given access to. I can sit there and debate with myself and others about how I'm undeserving of such power or how I fall short of walking in such authority or I can lift up my head and stand tall - announcing with my mouth and walking it out with my actions. In Jesus name, those who know Him have been given all power and all authority, so let's walk in power and authority and get to doing what we are created to do!
