How bank refer-a-friend schemes work
Very simply, the banks are asking you to recommend them to your friends and family. In return they'll give you a sweetener that is paid into your account. With First Direct it's £50 and with Nationwide it's £100.
Obviously you need to have an account with the bank in order to play matchmaker, but once you do it's a nice way to earn a little extra.
And your friends will get something in return too. At First Direct they can choose a "Hello" freebie, and at Nationwide they also get £100 paid into their account.
Both work in different ways, so here's what you need to know for each scheme.
First Direct referral bonus
First Direct has a recommend a friend pack which you can order via your online banking, though I got sent a copy in the post. In the pack are a handful of cards to hand out, and on each there's a gap to enter your name and postcode.
When your friend calls up the number on the form they need to quote both of these in order for you to get your bonus. On the call they'll then apply for the new account, which is often voted the number one for customer service.
Then, as long as they also switch their existing bank into this one and pay in £1,000 within three months, they'll be able to choose one of the hello gifts, such as a £150 Expedia voucher or Amazon Echo Spot . Here's my review of which freebies is the best value. They can't have been a previous First Direct customer to get the offer.
As long as that all goes ok you'll then get your £50 with 28 days. You're limited to three referrals in total.
The First Direct account also gives them (and you!) access to a 5% Regular Savings account and a £250 interest-free overdraft.
Nationwide referral bonus
The Nationwide deal works differently. You need to go the Refer-a-Friend page and enter in some details. You'll be emailed a unique link to give to your friend. This link is only valid for 90 days.
Once they've got the link they need to follow it and open up either a FlexDirect, FlexAccount or FlexPlus account with Nationwide and then switch their old bank over. They also need to transfer two Direct Debits set up to come out of this account.
You'll get the money within 30 days of your friend completing the switch. However, make sure they don't close the account within three months as Nationwide reserves the right to get the money back from all of you.
You can recommend five people every financial year, which runs from April 6th to April 5th the following year. You also don't need to have a bank account with Nationwide to refer someone – it works if you have a savings account or mortgage too.
On top of the £100, your friend will get 5% interest for a year on a balance of up to £2,500 if they choose the FlexDirect account. There's also a 5% regular saver with Nationwide that you should take advantage of, and you can apply for an interest-free overdraft for the first year.
Bank switching and other offers to consider
These are both decent deals for you and your friend, with the Nationwide one a top pick. In fact they're both worth getting referred to even if you're not a customer with them and getting your own bonuses (if you know me then get in touch and I'll send you the links!).
But these aren't the only bank switching incentives, and you might be better off at a different bank, depending on your circumstances. These deals change frequently, so I regularly update my bank switching and incentives page. Do check it out.
You also need to remember that bank switching involves closing down your old account completely. However, as part of the Current Account Switch Guarantee, all your Direct Debits and standing orders will be transferred, and any payments in (such as your salary) and out will be forwarded. If something was to go wrong you'd get compensation.
More financial refer-a-friend schemes
Though these are the only decent bank account schemes, other credit cards and savings accounts offer similar incentives.
Though there are quite a number of credit card referral schemes out there, you need to think carefully before recommending a credit card to someone. Will they pay it off in full each month or will they borrow more than they can afford? If you think they can manage it, then there are additional benefits with the Amex and Tandem cashback credit cards.
Get a mate to successfully apply for an American Express Platinum Cashback Credit Card and you'll get £30 (up to £150 per calendar year) and they get £25, which makes it fee-free. They'll also get the normal introductory offer, currently 5% cashback for three months up to £125. Other Amex cards have similar schemes though the rate might vary. If you don't have one you can sign up and get £25 with my referral code.
Another cashback credit card, Tandem, gives a £10 Amazon voucher each for a referral. It's a decent card which gives 0.5% in cashback. Again, if you don't have one then here's my referral code so you can get the voucher when you sign up – (Update: I've been told by a reader that Tandem might need my email address to verify the referral, so bear in mind when applying that this could stop you getting the voucher).
Vanquis also offers £25 if you recommend someone to their credit card, but this isn't a cashback credit card so there's probably a better reward out there for your friend – even if it means you don't get your referral bonus.
Finally, if you're looking at boosting your savings, then referring friends to the app Chip can get you up to 5% interest. You essentially get 1% interest each if they sign up using your code. Check out my review and find out how to start with a 3% interest rate.

June 26, 2017: Study: Fracing, saltwater disposal have limited seismic impact. From Oil & Gas Journal:
Research from a University of Alberta geophysicist suggests hydraulic fracturing and saltwater disposal have limited impact on seismic events.
A team of researchers led by Mirko Van der Baan found no state- or province-wide correlation between increased hydrocarbon production and seismicity after reviewing 30-50 years of earthquake rates from US states North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, and Canadian provinces Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
They also discovered that human-induced seismicity is less likely in areas where fewer natural earthquakes occur. The lone exception was Oklahoma, where seismicity rates have changed dramatically in the last 5 years, with strong correlation to saltwater disposal related to increased hydrocarbon production.They need to study the Groningen. LOL.
Original Post
Had I not blogged, I doubt I ever would have ever even known about the Groningen. But here it is again, in the WSJ, and another reason why I love to blog.
For decades, the giant Groningen gas field beneath the flat, green farmland in the north of this country counted among the greatest prizes for Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM 0.65% and Royal Dutch Shell RDS.B 0.43% PLC.Again, as usual, the comments are most interesting, though somewhat disappointing considering this is in the WSJ.
Then the earthquakes started.
The exploitation of Groningen—the biggest gas field in Europe—has been causing tremors for over two decades, rattling a bucolic province with no previous history of quakes and exposing two of the world's biggest energy companies to a criminal probe and rising reconstruction bills.
Amid a public outcry, the Dutch government has imposed increasingly strict limits that have more than halved Groningen's gas production since 2013. Now, authorities are proposing another 10% cut in hopes of further reducing earthquakes. And a Dutch public prosecutor is preparing to open a criminal investigation into responsibility for the earthquakes.
Groningen was expected to be one of the world's largest gas producers for decades to come. Last year, it made up almost 10% of both Exxon and Shell's total gas production globally and its reserves are among the companies' largest undeveloped resources.

The Texas (Caffey) Family Massacre
When A teenage girl's parents banned her from seeing her boyfriend, she asked him to kill her entire family
Three hearses stand outside the funeral home by White Rose Cemetery on the outskirts of the historic town of Wills Point, Texas. A low black fence circles the lawns and has little eulogies welded into the metalwork: to Amy Louise Harris, town sweetheart; to all the business and professional women interred here. The headstones in White Rose are not imposing - just small, simple slabs dedicated to mothers, fathers and, sometimes, children.
Terry Caffey drives through in his white Chevy truck. He turns down a path, takes a left and pulls up in the shade of a small tree. Since March last year he has made this journey many times. He gets out and walks up to three inconspicuous stones. One reads: Penny Lynn Caffey,…

Shirl's visit to Pensthorpe
6 comments:
Thanks for the link!ReplyDelete
I had a memorable visit to Pensthorpe one winter morning intending to take photos of frost on the different flower heads. It was so cold my camera battery kept giving up, so I had to keep taking it out and sticking it in my trousers (pockets, I hasten to add!) between shots!ReplyDelete
Frost was very photogenic and the hot choc in the cafe afterwards also good!
r. pete free,ReplyDelete
Have you considered posting some of those photos on your blog? I'm sure many of us would enjoy seeing them.
Shirl has inspired me to investigate movies.
Hi again James :-DReplyDelete
It's great your visitors are enjoying my post :-D
Ah... movies! Yes, these are quite different from photos when it comes to control over the final image quality. I would encourage you to try though!
If you want any pointers please just mail me. Perhaps I should do a post on this myself as a slight guide to encourage others try and request that those that already do share tips etc in comments. I've uploaded close to 200. I've a full list of topics for the next couple of weeks but perhaps after that :-D
Great idea to do a post on "how to." I'd like to contact you by email, but Blogger doesn't allow me to see your email address. Can you contact me at golden [at] federaltwist [dot] com? I would certainly like to get some pointers.

Ulric Cross might be the greatest 20th‑century figure you've never heard of. A war hero, diplomat and legal visionary who had a hand in shaping the future of half a dozen countries, his was a life that cried out for a movie treatment.
And now, six years after his death, that movie has arrived. The docudrama Hero is released this Saturday to coincide with Windrush Day, an annual celebration founded last year to mark the contribution made by people from the British West Indies, such as Cross.
Filmed on a shoestring budget by Frances-Anne Solomon, an old family friend of Cross's, Hero has no major distributor. In fact, the film is scheduled to be screened at only a handful of cinemas.
But the story it tells deserves a far wider audience. Not only was Cross the most decorated black serviceman of the Second World War, he was handsome, charming and fiercely intelligent. He loved Oscar Wilde, Tom Stoppard and Shakespeare, and apparently knew Hamlet word for word.
He was also well-connected in unexpected ways. "He and Mick Jagger used to talk to each other about cricket," says Peter Devitt, a curator at the RAF Museum. And, after the war, he rose to become a senior crown counsel in Ghana, a high court judge in Zanzibar and Trinidad's High Commissioner in the UK.
"Ulric Cross was a truly extraordinary man," says Devitt. "He had this charm, this glamour about him. He was an exceptionally gifted navigator, and willing to offer his life to combat tyranny in the world."
Filmed with a cast of unknowns (though with a very compelling lead performance from newcomer Nickolai Salcedo as Cross), Hero finds clever ways to work around its financial limitations, making inventive, stylised use of cheap archive footage.
It begins with Cross's childhood in Port of Spain, Trinidad. He was born in 1917, his comfortable middle-class household hit by tragedy when his mother died and his father moved to Venezuela to find work, leaving Ulric and his six siblings to the cold care of a neighbour. Once a promising student, Cross dropped out of school to work in a string of unsatisfying jobs.
Then he found a purpose. "I worked for a while with the government on the railroad," Cross told historian Gabriel J Christian in an interview for his 2009 book, For King & Country. "But by 1941, Britain stood alone. Dunkirk had been a defeat for Britain and Hitler had conquered all of Europe. The world was drowning in fascism and America was not yet in the war, so I decided to do something about it and volunteered to fight in the RAF."
He was not alone. About 6,000 men and women from the Caribbean joined the RAF during the war – all volunteers. More than 450 flew operations, with an estimated 150 killed in service.
Ulric Cross had this charm, this glamour about him. He and Mick Jagger used to talk to each other about cricket. Cross joined the RAF's 139 Jamaica Squadron. Nicknamed "The Black Hornet" by his comrades, Cross was a squadron commander in Bomber Command's elite Pathfinder Force. As the navigator for a de Havilland Mosquito, he had one of the most challenging jobs in the RAF: to guide the tiny wooden two-seater hundreds of miles through darkness, flying close to the ground over often heavily defended sites, before dropping a flare to mark a target for the bombers.
He flew 80 missions to Germany, refusing to take a rest, while most officers were moved to a less dangerous posting after 30. His unflappable calm made him an invaluable navigator. "You can't be trained not to be afraid, but trained to conquer fear," he once said. "It comes from a belief that what you're doing is right."
On one occasion he was forced to make a crash landing after taking flak over Germany, his plane limping back to the nearest RAF base with a single working engine. "We went over the end of the runway and through a hedge," he recalled. "We plunged down into a disused quarry. My pilot said: 'Ulric, this is it.' I said: 'Yes, Jack.' We thought we were both going to die. We were both rather cool about it."
"His time in the war was something that could take up a whole film," says director Solomon. But Hero tells the dramatic story of Cross's post-war career, too. After taking a job at the Colonial Office and teaching himself law by night, Cross struggled to find work as a barrister and so, in 1953, joined the BBC as a producer for its Caribbean Voices programme. He was soon mixing in the same circles as its literary contributors, V S Naipaul, C L R James and the socialist George Padmore, a fellow countryman.
Padmore, spotting a great legal mind going to waste, recruited Cross to work for Kwame Nkrumah, whom he was advising on his campaign for an independent Gold Coast (now Ghana). "I was in the right place at the right time," the fictional Ulric says in Hero. It seems he always was. Arriving in Ghana just as it won its independence, he was appointed a Senior Crown Counsel, working closely with President Nkrumah's government.
It was a sign of his confidence in Cross that Nkrumah sent him to the Democratic Republic of Congo when its first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, was ousted in a violent coup, asking him to report back on whether Ghana should intervene with military force to help an ally. Before they could, however, Lumumba was dead.
MI6 controller Baroness Park is said to have admitted on her deathbed that she arranged Lumumba's assassination, and Park is a hovering malign presence in Hero, where it's suggested that she had designs on Cross, too.
Cross moved to Cameroon in 1960, arriving at a turning point in its history, in the middle of its complex unification process. According to one former Cameroon High Commissioner, Cross's "visionary ideas" as Attorney-General of West Cameroon were the driving force in forging a new, functional legal framework from the "moribund" sets of contradictory laws in French and English that the country had inherited.
Cross was later a High Court Judge in Zanzibar, then in Trinidad – where the prime minister said his judgments had "changed the landscape" of the country. In his later years, he was Trinidad and Tobago's Ambassador to France and Germany, and the country's High Commissioner in the UK.
In a life that packed, it's understandable that there were plenty of interesting stories that couldn't make it into the film. There's no mention of his wartime relationship with an engaged Englishwoman, Joan, who had his child in 1945, but was forced by her parents to give it up, for fear of scandal. Hidden from visitors (sometimes under the stairs), their daughter Susan was raised by her grandparents, and grew up believing Joan was her sister, only learning the truth about what she called "the whole complicated web of lies and deceit" years later. Susan went on to become the broadcaster Lady Hollick, Channel 4's first head of multicultural programming and chairman of London's Arts Council.
The events that did make it into the film are not just fascinating – they are inspirational. Many young people from the African and Caribbean diaspora feel "lost", says Solomon, "because they don't know who they are… a lot of these lives have been erased by not being documented." But the story of Ulric Cross, "a man from a small island with big ideas and visions of a better world – that tells them we stand on the shoulders of incredible people, that we come from somewhere, that we are somebody".
Hero is at the Brixton Ritzy, London SW2, Sat, then opens in selected UK cinemas
Interesting story. The fact that Cross flew 80 mission and lived to tell about about it is an amazing story in its self.
The attached website is a good browse. They have a few de Haviland aircrafts but I don't see a Mosquito. Quite a few of the planes are air worthy. I look forward to seeing the Lancaster fly over every weekend at about 10:15 am.
Nice little story New Historian . Just to show I am not completely out of the loop.
My 'old man' was one of those soldiers from the Caribbean. Have photos with him and his buddies.
So don't be showing off. lol.
Interesting, which branch did he serve, the RAF? Seems that most West Indians who served were in the RAF, were they more willing to take on "coloured chaps"? It actually wasn't easy for West Indians to enlist - first of all they had to get there, there weren't any recruiting stations in Grenada lol! Hence:
In the early days of the war, coloured chaps weren't exactly welcomed into the British armed forces. Despite the hostilities, the nation's racial standards had to be maintained. In 1939 the Colonial Office issued a statement that the best thing Grenadians and people from other colonies could do to aid the war effort was to stay at home and produce the raw materials and food that Britain needed. If Grenadians wanted to get militarily involved, they should join the Grenada Volunteer Force, a tropical version of Dad's Army, if you wanted to volunteer to join the British armed forces, you first of all had to get there. Such was the zeal to aid the Motherland that regardless of this less than effusive welcome, twenty-one young Grenadians paid their own way to Britain and Canada to join up in those two countries.
For those who don't know:
When I see the Lancaster it reminds me of folks like your dad. People from all over the world that did their part in destroying the Nazi Machine. People that were bombarded at work and at home on a regular basis.
There are so many that went unacknowledged on both sides that helped in putting an end to a time of nonsense that wasn't long ago.
Just to make sure my brother did not hear of :: ::::: A real Trini hero - Ulric Cross - Hero from WW2 --- Now A movie
(which I doubt)
I sent him an e-mail
HERO is at the Brixton Ritzy , London SW2 , SAT . Then opens in selected UK cinemas.
...... now that's history , Historian.

The design of this cross merges the earth of Ireland, religious festival, and Irish culture. Cutting turf in Irelands bogland remains a huge part of Irish cuture and this is a very nice idea, to craft a religious item, an Irish religious festival, out of the land of Ireland.
This St. Brigid's cross is beautifully made from Irish turf and is designed for hanging on the home wall. It measures 7" wide x 7" tall and and comes with a hook so that you are ready to hang it. The Irish peat St. Brigid's wall cross is made in Ireland by Liffey Artefacts.
We'd love to keep in touch with you to inform you of offers and discounts from time to time!

By the Archangel Melchizadek
November has a purpose and a function that is equal to each of the other eleven months of the year. If you stop and look outside (in the Northern hemisphere) you will see very little happening on the surface. November is a month of transition where the plant life is releasing and letting go on the inside. Right up to the point when the leaves fall, or the plants slide down into the ground there is peacefulness, and internal work.
What would happen to these plants if they did not prepare themselves for the cold winter frosts? They would have too much green wood above ground and die. They are preparing for death and new life in the spring by decreasing their vitality. People have a quieter month of preparation to "get ready for the holidays" which seems to involve the tying up of loose ends and plans being made.
This is a short, yearly lesson in life and death. You can expand it to the shorter lives of animals and people, or the very long life of a planet or star. Think of older people in nursing homes who are slowly, slowly shutting down, and do any of you feel that is wrong? The greatest sense of wrong is when someone young and vital dies. But even then, how do you know it was wrong for them to die? Having a negative view of death is the flip side of having a negative view of life. Remember that there is only life, and some of it is not spent incarnate on Earth. When November finishes many of you will begin the season of interior lights and cosy rooms, holidays and socialising. December is no longer life quietly sinking down into the ground, it is life at the beginning of a new stage, the stage of rest and sleep for winter forest trees and plants, and a necessary time of gathering energy for the warmer weather. Not a day is wasted in the cycle, something necessary to life is always happening.
You are a natural creation, and part of the natural world. The more you are able to go with the prevailing energy of the seasons the greater the health of your mind and body will be. You will be in balance. When you are not in balance you have great difficulty maintaining your health. We look forward to the coming time when you reverse your flow into large cities and as you re-balance you will make different decisions. When you are balanced the Earth itself will find it easier to be balanced.
November 2013 saw two enormous and damaging storms, Taiphoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the tornadoes in Illinois. Right in front of your eyes you can see the lack of balance in the Earth and you don't need any scientific studies to confirm this. Scientists can be bought and sold, and so can their data. Use your own senses and make your own decisions; and then take the actions that lead to balance for the Earth. If you balance your own lives you contribute to balancing the planet. When you have balanced yourselves and your societies you can look forward to the Earth's axis resuming an upright position. A planet in balance is a very different place to live.

Kyle and I went through a period where we didn't have a lot of money but we also didn't want to sit inside and stare at each other all day. Not having a lot of money can wreck havoc on a relationship so instead of focusing on what you can't do without money focus on what you CAN do. Here are a few date ideas for the times when you're broke.
People Watching + Cheap Food
This is still one of our favorite dates to go on. We live in a very walkable city so sometimes we go on walks to a cheap restaurant or desert shop and stop for a sit on a bench to watch people. You'll be amazed at some of the crazy things people do in broad daylight on the street. It's a great bonding experience to see other couples or kids and to talk about your life and the future.
Small Theatre Productions
Kyle is not big on theatre but when we find the right production to go to he loves it. There is just something awesome about live shows because they're never the same each night. They also always give you something to talk about because of that. If you're always going to the movies (which isn't cheap these days) you might really enjoy this option. Now that we live in San Francisco I really want to go to a sing-along at the Castro Theatre.
I'll be the first to admit that museums bore the crap out of me. I'm of the mind that once you've seen one you've seen them all (which isn't true.) But if I go to the museum with an open mind I usually take in a lot of cool information. When we lived in San Diego we went to certain museums at Balboa Park for free on Tuesdays.
Going for a walk will never get old. We take walks in our neighborhood, on the beach, down the grocery store isle… the possibilities are endless. Lol
Give me your cheap date suggestions in the comments.

It is a pleasure for me to announce that my mate Alexandra's mega-project of the last four or five years, the book on the relationship between the Common eider and Man, has its end in sight. My role was that of a translator and occasionally a lightning rod for the outbursts of the author's anger at the world dearing to interfere with the process.
Below is a letter from Alexandra to all those interested in acquiring the book or perhaps helping financially in its printing.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our Mother, Grandmother and sister, Harriet Chase, the afternoon of February 6, 2013, in Revelstoke, B.C., with family beside her.
In the home of Harriet's birth, Pantyffynnon, Carmarthenshire, in South Wales, her life was filled with love and caring, family and life-long friends, music and chapel. From childhood Harriet would sing; it was expected of her to come home with prizes from the local Eisteddfod, which she did.
While serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service Harriet met Canadian Thomas Grant Chase and a few years after their marriage made the voyage to Canada with toddler Miriam and baby Grant. Tom's sisters met them, Easter-time, in Vernon, B.C., which would become their family home for over fifty years.
Mam to Miriam Elaine (David) Williams, Andrew George Grant (d Dec. 13, 1993), Thomas Keith (d. Feb., 1948), Pamela Gwyneth Montgomery, Howard Emmett Kent, and Elizabeth (Keith) Hollingsworth; Mam-gu to Keith (Lisa) Chase, Sasha (Michael) Chamberlin, Donovan (Sylvia) and Matthew (Patti) Montgomery, and twenty great-grandchildren; sister of Freda Kathleen (Dennis) Colbourne of Alcester, England. Cousins in Wales, nieces and nephews mourn with us.
In choirs always, enjoying especially the Vernon Ladies', Trinity Chancel and Okanagan Symphony choirs and Scott Singers; long-time membership with Trinity United Church and their Hi-Lo Unit; piano and vocal lessons; to be home with family, knitting, reading, writing letters, adding a few lines of verse from poems she would collect. Harriet met life's challenges with determined strength, maintained deep loyalty to her Welsh upbringing, was superbly bilingual. It wasn't until March 1977 that, with Tom and Elizabeth, Harriet returned to visit family in England and Wales and, after Tom's death April 13, 1992, traveled alone to her homeland in March 1993.
Harriet was so appreciative of Dr. Molder's care, the assistance of Queen Victoria Hospital staff during her brief stays there, and staff at Pharmasave. Her family thanks Rev. Ken Jones for his times with Harriet, and Gary and Chrissie Sulz of Brandon Bowers Funeral Service.
Although a formal funeral was not desired, Harriet's family and close friends will gather in Vernon on March 27 for a memorial service.
Diolch am fod ein Mam a Nain, rydym yn caru ti.
Nos da, Mam, Mam-gu.

St. Patrick's Day was celebrated by parades in the city of Buffalo as long ago as 1848, but the tradition lapsed several times.
The parade pictured here, in 1915, was the first after a lapse of around three decades.
On March 4, 1915, The Catholic Union and Times ran an article headlined, "Parade feature to be revived this year." The story said, "After a hiatus of more than 30 years, Buffalo Irishmen and sons of Irishmen will this year feature a great parade in honor of the patron saint of the old land … St. Patrick."
The Buffalo Courier reported, "St. Patrick's Day this year will be celebrated with probably the best parade of its kind Buffalo has ever seen, although it has been twenty-seven years since there was a public demonstration."
Edward J. Duggan was grand marshal of the parade in 1915 and parade chairman was William J. Shaddock. This photo, marked with numbers many years ago with the names written on the back, shows 1.) Anthony J. McGowan, 2.) Assessor William Burke 3.) William Shaddock, parade chairman 4.) John B. Edwards 5.) Congressman William H. Ryan and 6.) Edward J. Sheehan marching across the Louisiana Street bridge.
The photo was provided by Molly Naples, the granddaughter of McGowan.
According to the Buffalo Evening News, fine weather improved turnout for the 1915 parade, in which many of the marchers were men from South Side parishes "wearing high hats, frock coats, carrying blackthorn canes and winning cheers along the route for their fine appearance and good marching."
Naples wrote that her grandfather left his home in Ireland at age 16, fleeing famine and depression. He settled in Buffalo and became active in politics in the First Ward. He owned the Elk Street Tavern and was assistant superintendent of the Elk Street Market and Black Rock Market.
In submitting the photos, Molly Naples wrote, "A professional probably took the photograph because hardly anyone owned a camera back then. I am very fortunate to have an old photograph of such a happy occasion."
Mary McGowan Naples — Molly Naples' mother and Anthony J. McGowan's daughter — will turn 93 next week.

Effective software patch management has long been the bane of security managers, network engineers, and system administrators. The process is often costly, requires significant resources, and can potentially result in unforeseen disruptions to network functionality by interfering with other applications or by causing a system reboot during the installation process.
The task is even more daunting for the largest networks, and the implementation of software upgrades is often delayed for weeks or even months, resulting in prolonged vulnerabilities that leave sensitive systems rife for exploitation by attackers.
"It is a practical impossibility for most organizations to implement patch management perfectly. Most businesses and government agencies cannot even identify all of the computers and applications they own, let alone patch them," Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT Harvest, told Security Bistro.
In an effort to streamline the patching process, many organizations have opted to employ automated patch management solutions, such as those based on the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) issued by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
This week the NIST issued revised guidelines for automated patch management, and is seeking public comment regarding changes to the agency's recommended best practices. The previous version of the guidelines was originally drafted when patching was accomplished manually, prior to the widespread use of automated processes.
"Professionals need to follow a management process for identifying, acquiring, installing and verifying patches for products and systems. Guide to Enterprise Patch Management Technologies is designed to assist organizations in understanding the basics of patch management technologies," NIST explains on their website.
The revised guidelines seek to better explain the critical importance of effective patch management strategies while providing an overview of the automated technologies available, as well as the establishment of applicable "metrics for measuring the technologies' effectiveness and for comparing the relative importance of patches."
The new guidelines are available here, and feedback on the NIST draft should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com no later than Friday, Oct. 19, 2012.
While automated patch management can provide some insulation from hackers by limiting the potential attack vectors, it is but one small piece of a robust network security strategy that should also include measures to ensure real-time intrusion detection to protect against exploits targeting unmitigated software vulnerabilities for which patches have yet to be issued.
"Sadly, even a perfectly patched environment is completely defenseless against zero-day exploits," Stiennon cautioned.

I've been working on creating explosions in space. With the new native VDB creation tools I've been getting pretty good results. But there's one thing I can't figure out. The explosions always have a -Y gravity effect. I can't figure out how to make it go away. Explosions in space should quickly dissipate with no gravity bias. It doesn't seem to matter if I flip the HV creation null.
Any ideas anyone? Am I missing something? Also, I'm including my nodes just in case I'm doing something else dumb too. Thanks.

Tonight I mentioned that we needed to schedule our baby classes soon. (As in, I'm calling them tomorrow.) There's one that's 6 weeks that I'd prefer – or we can cram it all into one weekend.
The husband reminded me that between now and the end of August, there aren't 6 weeks that he's here consecutively. Where in the world did the summer go?
Oh yeah. His job. (Even though he works in education, he doesn't really get summers off.)
So it looks like we're going to have to cram everything into one weekend – and hope that we can get a weekend we'd prefer. There's a lot going on between him traveling, a wedding in New York, baby showers and getting ready for McLittle to make his appearance.
We do have a few things to look forward to (besides overpriced classes.) I did manage to get the husband Elvis Costello tickets a couple of weeks ago for his birthday, and this morning I bought tickets for us to see Mumford & Sons in Asheville in June. Big shows for a big summer.
I'm ready for a relaxing vacation already.

London – Carl Fabergé's Imperial eggs were a complex thing of shiny beauty. Encrusted with jewels on the outside, some of them bore little surprises on the inside, in the shape of golden animals inside a golden yolk – hey, those addicting Kinder eggs got their great idea from somewhere.
But we'd like to imagine that between the enamel and the golden hens, its inside wall looked something like the new premises of Wartski, a London antiques dealer specialised in the works of Fabergé himself – and, for royal fans, better known as the maker of Kate Middleton's wedding ring.
Designed by local studio Waldo Works, the new gallery carefully weaves contemporary geometries with the lush material applications of yore. Their proposal, which plays with the symbiotic nature of the family-owned firm, has unsuspecting visitors enter a Neo-Classical shop front on St. James Street and step into an oak-and-concrete large-scale kaleidoscope.
The shop is divided into three areas: a front gallery, an arcade gallery and a concealed room for private consultations. These spaces embrace the visitors a tad tighter the deeper they moves within the space, as the facets and angles cut into the concrete walls become more complex – the concrete, by the way, contains chips of slate from the Cwt-y-Bugail quarries in North Wales, as a nod to the company's Welsh origins. In turn, the angles on the ceiling and the beams ricochet from the geometry of the walls, which go inwards and outwards, creating a play of shadow and light that reaches its apex in the spots dedicated to the showcase of the precious objects.

New Delhi: Banned India pacer S Sreesanth has hinted at the possibility of turning up for another country, saying "BCCI has imposed the ban, not ICC".
On Tuesday, a division bench of the Kerala High Court held that the lifetime ban imposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sreesanth can continue.
He was banned for life following allegations of spot-fixing during an Indian Premier League match in 2013.
The 34-year-old hinted that since BCCI has banned him from playing in India, he has the freedom to play cricket for any other country. He also claimed that the Indian cricket board is a "private firm".
"BCCI has imposed the ban, not ICC. If not India, I can play for any other country, because am 34 now and I can only play for maximum six more years. As a person who loves cricket, I want to play cricket. And not only that, BCCI is a private firm; it is only us who say that this is the Indian team, but you know BCCI is a private body after all.
So, if I play for any other country, it probably may be the same. Yes, representing Kerala in Ranji Trophy is different. I had hoped to win Ranji Trophy, Irani for Kerala, but the decision rests upon the BCCI," Sreesanth said.
In August, a single bench of the court had quashed the BCCI's ban on Sreesanth. It observed that "no material or evidence before the disciplinary committee to conclude that Sreesanth was guilty of a violation of the anti-corruption code formulated by the BCCI".
But, while restoring the ban earlier this week, the division bench said the court cannot conduct a reappraisal of the evidence that BCCI's disciplinary committee relied on. It also said that it's only conducting a judicial review and is not sitting as an appellate authority over BCCI's decision.

Christiania, 25 September 1828.
It pleases me greatly, of course, that the hope of an appointment in Berlin is good and I thank you in advance for your efforts. But I implore you, let me know as soon as possible when anything has been decided, be it favorable or not, for if it does not work out as I hope I must be prepared to improve on my conditions here. I can take no steps until I know what will happen. This request you will certainly grant me.
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to copy and send me excerpts from the letters you received from Jacobi and Legendre. You can just imagine with what pleasure I have read these. Indeed, Herr Jacobi says too much. I see from his remarks that he has arrived at the transformation theory for elliptic functions by taking a different path than I did, but if he has throughout found something general then I can not comprehend how he has arrived at this, and I am very curious to learn about his method. Please encourage him to reveal something, for it is clear that he is in possession of excellent things.
If you do not mind I would appreciate if you would publish in the journal the remarks on elliptic functions that are enclosed. Perhaps you have a few pages to spare in the upcoming fourth issue. It pleases me greatly that you will print my "Précis d'une théorie des fonctions elliptiques". I shall exert myself to make it as clear and good as possible, and hope I shall succeed. But do you not think that it would be better to commence with this paper instead of the one on the equations? I ask you urgently.
Firstly, I believe that the elliptic functions will be of greater interest; secondly, my health will hardly permit me to occupy myself with the equations for a while. I have been ill for a considerable period of time, and compelled to stay in bed. Even if I am now recovered, the physician has warned me that any strong exertion can be very harmful.
Now the situation is this: the equations will require a disproportionately greater effort on my part than the elliptic functions. Therefore, I should prefer, if you do not absolutely insist on the article on equations - in that case you shall have it - to begin with the elliptic functions. The equations will follow soon afterward. If you have nothing against it, I would prefer to divide it into short sections, so that something about elliptic functions and something about equations could appear in each issue; for the first issue I should like to send only elliptic functions.
Please let me hear your opinion on this.

hello everyone! As I promised you, here is more pictures from the time in universal studios 🙂 this one is only gonna be with photos. If you want to hear more about the experience, in universal studios that I haven't been posting about, then send me a message and I will answer as soon as possible.
July 2015
We travelled from Denmark to the other side of the world, to pursue our dreams. Universal studios was incredible, such a great and unreal experience. Getting the chance to see where the most of the Movies were filmed and how they made them, and getting behind the scenes of hollywoods most popular and productive movies, was the most awesome experience.
There was so much to see, so we were there in ten hours. My favorite part of the journey in universal was all the 3d rides, we where in the 3d ride of minions, transformers, the Simpsons, Jurassic park ride and King Kong.
Everyone should visit the universal studios, you will have a lot of fun there. There will be a part two with pictures this week.
This month I did a photoshoot, with this talented girl. I saw her photos on Instagram of other models and I loved them, so I had to do a photoshoot with her.
To all my Danish followers if you want a photoshoot by her then contact her on her Facebook page Here and here are so some pictures, from the photoshoot we did together, I'm totally in love with the resultant.
Hey everyone 🙂 here is another LA post of mine. Back in Los Angeles we walked at the walk of fame at midnight, then we spotted this talented man. We so him draw other people and all where standing up in line to get a drawing of themselves by him. We stood in the line and waited for our turn to come. When it was my turn to be drawn, the people who walked at the walk of fame stood and told me " wow that's so weird this looks exactly like you, get excited to see it " I was like really? Can't wait to see it.

The "City of Roses" has taken a less romantic and elegant path, ditching its thorns for fixie bikes and its rose petals, for breweries and dyn-o-mite hand-roasted coffee. But there's nothing quite like Portland's backyard, providing a Jungle Gym for adults who want to share equal custody of their outdoor activities between land, water, and snow.
Post-cycling slumber on this pillow top mattress
Photo by the River's Edge Hotel
The River's Edge Hotel is happy to provide the bikes during your stay, while having generous friends that have access to boats along the Willamette River Water Trail is completely up to you. But since this hotel property is stationed right along the trail, they encourage you to bike with the river by your side into the downtown Portland area and choose your own impromptu adventure.
The Tour de Portland experience:
- First time in Portland? Get a fresh set of wheels and tour the city with Portland Bike Tours where they'll break down the city into its most important components: historic neighborhoods, breweries, green buildings, and the jaw-dropping Eastbank Esplanade.
Rehydrate with a cosmo at Swine
Photo by the Paramount Hotel
Located in the heart of Portland's downtown hub, you don't have to work up a sweat to claim you took advantage of the city's majestic rural surroundings. You can simply enjoy a balcony guest room in the Paramount Hotel, wet your whistle at their moonshine and whiskey bar called Swine, wander in the hotel's front yard, and voilà, you'll find your outdoor adventure awaiting you in their Director Park.
The artsy chillax experience:
- After an old-fashioned bourbon cocktail, check out your Paramount Hotel's worldly surroundings. In particular, we recommend paying your respects with a leisure hike (more of a slow walk on paved ground, but hey, it's still exercise!) to the Portland Art Museum and tour their sculpture garden.
Dip your toes into a pool, jacuzzi, or even a river
Photo by The Red Lion Hotel
The Red Lion Hotel on the River by Jantzen Beach not only offers access to their outdoor pool, but they do one better, they insist you choose a water adventure on the nearby Columbia River over a soak in their jacuzzi. Book a room here and after you check-in, take to the river on a kayak, or try some paddle-boarding.
The extreme adventurer experience:
- Completely submerse yourself in Portland's great outdoors with an adventure tailored to your wants and wilderness needs, with knowledgeable Sherpa-like specialists from Rare Earth Adventures.
Soak in a sudsy bath after your walking tour
Photo by RiverPlace Hotel
Maybe you're tired of flapping your fins swimming upstream. Start by picking a hotel package from a handful of packages the RiverPlace Hotel offers. This boutique hotel offers the Marry Me In Portland wedding night package, the Choose Your Own Adventure family package, the Romantic Revival at the RiverPlace package, and a few others. Once you've chosen your suite accommodations get your swimmies and life vest on—to get in the spirit of exercise—and then take a seat on a jetboat excursion a mile from the hotel and cruise the Willamette River.
The walking trail of laughter experience:
- If you were spritzed on the river, dry off, and treat yourself to a free comical walking tour in true Porlandia fashion. The Secrets of Portlandia Tour promises stand-up comedy on the move, providing laughs, a sense of history, and all the insider tips you could ever wish for.
Mashed potato snow right outside your lodge

To complete your triathlon adventure vacation, we need to get you on the slopes by staying near this mountain top at Timberline Lodge. Mount Hood is the only mountain in North America that's open throughout the entire year. We're dragging you about an hour outside of Portland, but there's no reason why you can't check out of one of the above Portland hotels for a few days and then check-in to the Timberline for year-round snow!
The winter wonderland experience:
- School might be out for the summer and over the weekends, but Timberline Ski & Ride School is in session! Claim a spot in their freestyle day camps if you want to unleash your inner Shaun White and be crowned king of their private terrain park.

Being a numbskulled lefty media type means always having it both ways. A headline from Salon:
"Is the media reporting on the Penn State scandal to hurt conservatives? One insane person thinks so"
The headline just above it:
To call this sort of thing puerile would be an insult to children.
The cheaply partisan contemporary Left makes me miss the old explicitly Marxist Left, at least a little bit. As the Marxists knew, the key to maintaining a paranoid, fantasy-driven worldview is maintaining a narrative that while wildly implausible is internally consistent, just as in sci-fi or horror movies. Which is why everybody knows that the Penn State scandal is really about Dick Cheney, Benjamin Netanyahu, Goldman Sachs, and the Iranians — obviously.

In Dune Messiah Frank Herbert states that "there exists no separation between gods and men: one blends softly and casually into the other" yet in Science Fiction and in Fantasy there exist a number of distinct "power levels" if you will; "human", "superhuman", "weakly godlike", etc... So my question is are these actually hard definitions with distinct criteria or are they simply the product of attempts to put labels where they don't belong or can't be consistent? In particular if someone can point me at a scale that separates these levels along firm boundaries I'd be very interested.
$\begingroup$ This seems like a better fit for sci-fi/fantasy than here. $\endgroup$ – sphennings Sep 20 '17 at 14:10
1$\begingroup$ I asked a different question with a similar theme a while back which might be of interest: worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/77798/… The answer I accepted (which was a good one) points to their being no difference really beyond how they are labelled. $\endgroup$ – adaliabooks Sep 20 '17 at 14:11
1$\begingroup$ @sphennings Yeah it looks that way but no-one over there would be the least interested or helpful with such a question in my experience, they'd send me back here with it, if I was lucky. $\endgroup$ – Ash Sep 20 '17 at 14:12
$\begingroup$ @Ash This question isn't about building a world. It's not a good question for this site. $\endgroup$ – sphennings Sep 20 '17 at 14:13
1$\begingroup$ If this question is about the definitions in the mentioned works of fiction, then this would rather fit the SciFi-SE. If this is rather about the concept of gods and mortals and their blending and what not it's probably a better fit for philosophy-SE. In either case this question does not seem to be about an issue you are facing with your creation but more a question about advise, thus it is not necessarily fitting on here. $\endgroup$ – dot_Sp0T Sep 20 '17 at 16:01
I'm not sure how this question can be appropriately answered without using an opinion, but I'll at least tell you why that is. There is no scientific or even societal scale separating gods from men because gods are a matter of faith (or fiction, as many would say). There existence is a mere opinion, thus has no place in scientific discourse. If, however, you want to know how they are separated in fiction, that is still going to be impossible to quantify. Since the gods in our works are fictional (just as some would say the god(s) in real life are), the rules are up to the author. There is no sliding scale between god and human because science has no proof of gods, much less a few gods lying around they can study to separate from human beings. Most answers to this question will be completely opinion based.
$\begingroup$ That somewhat answers the question, they're labels on the unlabelable. $\endgroup$ – Ash Sep 20 '17 at 15:18
$\begingroup$ Exactly. The cool think is you are the god supreme in your world. You create the rules. $\endgroup$ – A.G. Weyland Sep 20 '17 at 15:19
Divinity has nothing to do with power level. It is fully encompassed in how holy others view you. There are many divine creatures without any special powers in stories. There are also Gods who never uses their powers in the eyes of humans.
Just because someone is super powerful or can perform miracles does not really make them a god. Only when other people worship him does he actually become said to be a god. Godzilla isn't a god just because he is immortal and indestructible and can level cities, all of those qualities actually put Godzilla above the power level of many contemporary gods. However, if people started worshiping Godzilla, then Godzilla actually can be called a god. The reverse is true with god kings, they are technically physically only human but they make people worship them as more than that and thus, they are then regarded as gods or descended from gods and are thus divine.
1$\begingroup$ While I see your point I do find it funny that you're pointing out how GODzilla isn't seen as a god. $\endgroup$ – Virusbomb Sep 20 '17 at 17:23
$\begingroup$ @Virusbomb "Godzilla" is only the Anglicization of the Japanese "Gojira". I don't know the "D" got in there as "Gozilla" might be closer to the original Japanese (making allowances for phonetic shifts between the two languages). $\endgroup$ – a4android Sep 21 '17 at 2:52

Fordsburg can be considered the little India of Johannesburg. The area has survived a violent past, most times we forget how much blood was spilled in this town for us to be able to inhabit it freely at this point.
Last weekend I took my friend to our much-anticipated Mayfair/Fordsburg outing. They are the South East part of the Johannesburg CBD and settlement to the majority of the Muslim community in the city originating from Somalia and India mostly. My reviews are raving, my friend's not so much. She thinks it was just OK. Which on a side note made me realise that I must have an objective measuring standards of my activities/experience. I'll work on that.
The day started with a full vegetarian lunch at restaurant Shayona where I had my first ever taste of masala tea. It is salty and brewed with milk and spices. Interesting concoction but my mind was resistant, it kept saying "no" to salty tea. The restaurant was so cheap it should be a crime. We had a platter for two made up of R 65 with rotis, spiced rice, and six different curries. Everything was spicy save the yogurt and my new favourite Indian food, paneer. I've come to learn there are a few kind, depending on what sauce they get served in. We had palak paneer, which is paneer in a spinach puree sauce. Paneer itself is a fresh cheese made by boiling milk and adding vinegar or lemon juice to separate the water part (whey) from the solid parts (curds) which then get chopped in nice little cubes after cooling.
I liked the relative cleanliness of this part of the city. Lunch time traffic is something to be aware of though; I had to parallel park in peak traffic. Nightmare! But the streets were not congested so walking about was painless. There was no noise pollution, if you've been to Newton/Marshalltown side of CBD you will know what I'm taking about: the taxis, the street vendors, the smell of various roasts from peanuts to cow heads. I found this area safer with a lots of good-looking restaurants dotting Mint street. The flea market doesn't offer much by the merchants in stores sell good perfumes. I met a cook who claims he was on Masterchef SA, I could not verify his claims, but I will say he can toss a naan in the air like a boss. For a wider shopping experience the Oriental Plaza is still the best option.
Two days ago I would have said I'd be hitting the space soon, but I got the worst case of ulcers Monday night. So little India, it seems is not meant for those with weak stomachs.
Happy exploring!

Guidance in cases involving the Official Solicitor21 December 2010
The Official Solicitor and the President met in order to discuss the difficulties which the Official Solicitor had been having in accepting requests to act as guardian ad litem / litigation friend for protected parties in proceedings relating to children. The Official Solicitor's role in proceedings under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 was also discussed. At the end of the meeting the President invited Pauffley J to draft guidance for courts dealing with such cases. The guidance has been seen by, and has the endorsement of, both the Official Solicitor and the President.
