Ex-Rangers and Hibs star Ian Murray back in Scottish football as he's appointed Airdrie manager
The 37-year-old has spent much of the last two years as assistant at Norwegian side Asker but now takes charge of a Scottish club for the first time since leaving St Mirren
IAN MURRAY is back in Scottish football after being appointed as Airdrie's new manager.
The former Rangers and Hibs star has spent much of the last two years as No2 at Norwegian side Asker.
But he will now take charge of a Scottish club for the first time since leaving St Mirren in 2015.
Airdrie announced the news of his appointment as Stephen Findlay's replacement on their website earlier this evening.
And they further confirmed that he will watch the club's clash with Montrose from the stands tomorrow before officially taking charge on Monday.
Speaking to Airdrie's website, Murray admitted the chance to help the League One club fulfil their potential was appealing to him.
He said: "Airdrieonians is obviously a name which is well respected in Scottish football, and the opportunity to help the club fulfil its potential is a huge draw.
"After speaking to the board, it was clear that we share the same views on many aspects of the game, and we hope to implement a number of these ideas over time.
"We will aim for continued improvement - in a very tight league we feel we have a group of players who can compete at the top end.
"The facilities and infrastructure at the club give us a great platform for improvement, which will become evident over the coming months.
"With my experiences of working outwith Scotland for the last two years, I have fresh ideas to bring to the club, and this is a great chance for those ideas to come to fruition.
"I'd like to thank everyone at Asker and wish them well for their two remaining games this season, starting with the local derby on Saturday.
"Now I'm looking forward to a new chapter with Airdrieonians, and I can't wait to get started."
As a player, Murray spent six years at Hibs before joining Rangers in 2005.
He then made the move down south to Norwich in 2007 before returning to Easter Road in 2008.
After retiring, Murray took charge of Dumbarton and spent two-and-a-half years there before taking over at his last Scottish club, St Mirren.

The Huawei Watch 2 comes into its own if you're looking for a smartwatch that can double as a sports watch, thanks to built-in GPS and a heart rate monitor on its rear. Use the 4GB of built-in storage to save your Google Play Music playlists offline and you can pair Bluetooth headphones for a phone-free experience. The Huawei Watch 2 will work with Huawei's own suite of fitness apps, Google Fit, or other third-party apps such as Strava, offering excellent choice.
That same attractive stainless steel design is here. The 240 x 240 pixel display at the heart of the body is by no means the brightest or most vibrant you'll find, but crucially delivers strong visibility in most workout conditions whether you're sweating it out indoors or outside. However, there is no touchscreen or touchpad here, you'll have to resort to pressing some buttons - that could be a deal-breaker for some, but we're sure it won't be a massive one for most.
The Huawei Watch 2 was one of the first smartwatches to launch with Android Wear 2.0 (now known as Wear OS), so delivers the handy Google Assistant straight to your wrist. Other improvements include more ways to respond to messages from your wrist, including a new on-screen keyboard. Wear OS doesn't quite rival Apple's watchOS for app support, but it has a decent stable of apps you'd expect.
Wirecutter writers have been researching, testing, and writing about smartwatches since early 2013, just after the first Pebble watches were shipped to Kickstarter backers. I've personally worn nearly every notable smartwatch since that first Pebble and have written about them for a number of publications, including IT World and Fast Company. I also have extensive experience with Android phones, having written the (since outdated) Complete Android Guide and numerous articles about Android. I also contribute to and help edit the Wirecutter guide to the best smartwatch for iPhones.
We actually got our hands on over a dozen of these smart watches just to get a feel for what it was like to use them. While all of them came with at least one main button (or a home button if you're an iPhone-user), the ones that stood out had scrolling down to a science. On such a small screen, swiping isn't always the most ideal form of navigation. Some of the best smart watches for navigation, we found, had twistable dials or bezels you could turn.
First and foremost, the Movado Connect runs on top of the standard Android Wear specs package — a Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, 512mb of RAM, and 4GB of storage. It also includes a 1.39-inch 400×400 AMOLED display, 300mAh battery, and a typical array of sensors including an accelerometer and gyroscope. There's also an ambient light sensor here and support for NFC, meaning you'll be able to use Google Pay with this watch.
The first digital watch, which debuted in 1972, was the Pulsar manufactured by Hamilton Watch Company. "Pulsar" became a brand name which would later be acquired by Seiko in 1978. In 1982, a Pulsar watch (NL C01) was released which could store 24 digits, making it most likely the first watch with user-programmable memory, or "memorybank" watch.[9] With the introduction of personal computers in the 1980s, Seiko began to develop computers in the form of watches. The Data 2000 watch (1983) came with an external keyboard for data-entry. Data was synced from the keyboard to the watch via electro-magnetic coupling (wireless docking). The name comes from its ability to store 2000 characters. The D409 was the first Seiko model with on-board data entry (via a miniature keyboard) and featured a dot matrix display.[10] Its memory was tiny, at only 112 digits.[9] It was released in 1984, in gold, silver and black.[11] These models were followed by many others by Seiko during the 1980s, most notably the "RC Series": During the 1980s, Casio began to market a successful line of "computer watches", in addition to its calculator watches. Most notable was the Casio data bank series. Novelty "game watches", such as the Nelsonic game watches, were also produced by Casio and other companies.[citation needed]

At the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, a large number of new smartwatches were released from various companies such as Razer Inc,[67] Archos,[68] and several other companies, as well as a few startups. Some had begun to call the 2014 CES, a "wrist revolution"[69] because of the number of smartwatches released and the huge amount of publicity they began to receive at the start of 2014. At Google I/O on 25 June 2014, the Android Wear platform was introduced and the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live were released. The Wear-based Moto 360 was announced by Motorola in 2014.[70] At the end of July, Swatch's CEO Nick Hayek announced that they will launch a Swatch Touch with smartwatch technologies in 2015.[71] In the UK, the Wearable Technology Show had its début in London and was host to several smartwatch companies exhibiting their newest models.
Next is the big focus on health and fitness. The Apple Watch can monitor your heart rhythm and suggest you see a doctor if it detects something irregular, it can call the emergency services you've fallen over, and it will keep you healthy by tracking your run. These potentially life saving features are a major reason people are ditching their traditional watches for an Apple Watch.
Wear OS comes with a focus on fitness features, but unfortunately Huawei managed to simultaneously move too far in this direction and also fall short of it. It doesn't come with a rotating side button for navigation, which is a shame as we really love the button on the LG Watch Sport. It does, however, come with great battery life and a stellar feature set otherwise.
Bottom line: Some fitness trackers work equally well with an iPhone or Android device, but some smartwatches are built to pair with Android phones so you won't enjoy full functionality and pairing on an iPhone. The Apple Watch only pairs with the iPhone so is off limits to Android users. Your existing phone choice will play an important part in choosing a smartwatch.

The RC-1000 Wrist Terminal was the first Seiko model to interface with a computer, and was released in 1984.[10] It was developed by Seiko Epson and was powered by a computer on a chip.[12] It was compatible with most of the popular PCs of that time, including Apple II, II+ and IIe, the Commodore 64, IBM PC, NEC 8201, Tandy Color Computer, Model 1000, 1200, 2000 and TRS-80 Model I, III, 4 and 4p. The RC-20 Wrist Computer was released in 1985, under the joint brand name "Seiko Epson".[13][14] It had a SMC84C00 8-bit Z-80 microprocessor; 8 KB of ROM and 2 KB of RAM. It had applications for scheduling, memos, and world time and a four-function calculator app. The dot-matrix LCD displayed 42×32 pixels, and more importantly, was touch-sensitive. Like the RC-1000, it could be connected to a personal computer, in this case through a proprietary cable. It was also notable in that it could be programmed, although its small display and limited storage severely limited application development.[10] The RC-4000 PC Data graph also released in 1985, was dubbed the "world's smallest computer terminal".[10] It had 2 KB of storage. The RC-4500 (1985), also known as the Wrist Mac, had the same features as the RC-4000, but came in a variety of bright, flashy colors.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: Wear OS, Google's name for Android for smartwatches, still feels like a work in progress, and in our testing, the Google Assistant voice feature frequently dropped responses—though that could improve via software updates. The Q line's button at the 3 o'clock position is easy to accidentally trigger, bringing up Google Assistant and sometimes sending it nonsense questions. Wear OS also lacks a left-handed mode to allow you to switch the watch around. On the workout front, Fossil Q watches lack a heart rate monitor, so they're not able to detect workouts or help with pacing; and the size of these models—and most Android smartwatches, really—and the touchscreen interface make workouts more difficult to monitor and pause than with a dedicated fitness tracker.
None of the newly tested models' time displays time out when the watches are inactive, which we've seen happen on previously tested smartwatches. The time displays of the LG, Samsung, and Motorola models have a setting to keep them always on, though they dim after a little while. The Martian Notifier and Cookoo2 have traditional analog watch faces.
Waterproof to 165 feet, the Versa handles swimming as well as any other exercise, with the screen surprisingly visible underwater. As is standard with many other non-smartwatch Fitbit models, heart rate tracking is built in, which allows for detailed sleep tracking. There's no GPS, though — if you want to track your running route, you'll need to carry your phone or pay the extra for the Ionic model.
The Smartwatch has officially arrived. Not long ago, the idea of a wrist-mounted communications device was the stuff of science-fiction movies and spy novels. Well, you no longer need to be a certain detective in a yellow trench coat to get your hands on a futuristic phone watch. With multiple models available from today's hottest tech brands, a smartwatch puts many of your favorite smartphone functions right at your fingertips. Check out Abt's selection of smartwatches like the Apple Watch or the Samsung Gear S2 Smart Watch today.
The Gear 2 also includes a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a heart-rate sensor. It also can control a TV or set-top box remotely using a built-in IR blaster, and it has the ability to function as a stand-alone music player. And its built-in camera—handily built into the watch itself rather than on the band, like the original Galaxy Gear—takes 2-megapixel stills and 720p video.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Vívosport's screen is highly sensitive to incidental brushes and touches; we ended up activating the screen auto-lock feature, a small annoyance. Compared with a dedicated GPS running watch, the GPS tracking on any fitness band takes longer to connect to satellites; and it's easier to see your pace and other statistics on a running watch's larger LCD screen while moving than on a fitness band's relatively miniscule display. Garmin doesn't have the motivating social network of Fitbit, so it's less likely that your friends or coworkers will connect and challenge you, or that a corporate fitness challenge will work with your Vívosport. A fitness band falls short of a full-featured smartwatch, because typically it won't give you a voice assistant, let you install apps, or let you interact with phone notifications, and many of those notifications will be difficult to read on the Vívosport's small screen.
The touchscreen, button, and dial (what Apple calls the "crown") help you zoom in and out and move between apps fairly effortlessly. With this easy navigation it's easy to forget we're typing on a screen slightly smaller than an Oreo. In particular, we loved Apple's app homepage, which displays all of the apps as icons in a honeycomb-like display. You can use the touchscreen to move around, and the dial to zoom in or pan out, to precisely tap on the one you want.

A Strategy for Sermon Development
Below is a guest post from my friend, Blake Appleby. This guest post challenged me as a speaker, and I felt compelled to share it with you today. "I heard a preacher once say, "Your messages are best cooked in a crock pot, not a microwave." I cannot disagree with this statement. I believe the more time we spend marinating in the text, the more our passion will build and the more effective we will be. It also provides ample time to gather clear thoughts. With that being said, I strive to be twelve weeks ahead. Now, I'm not saying that I have twelve weeks … Continue reading A Strategy for Sermon Development

Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Facts
- The Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle serves as the common name for a species of beetle endemic to portions of Eastern Asia.
- In the United States in 1978, people introduced them as biological control agents. However, the beetles have now become an invasive pest in portions of the country where it often inundates homes in large numbers.
- Unlike most invertebrates, this remarkable insect also often produces multiple generations in a single year.
Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Physical Characteristics
Though it constitutes a rather small variety of insect, the Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle actually measures slightly larger than other beetles of the type often colloquially popular as ladybugs.
The variety also attains an average length of roughly 0.28 in (7 mm), and a width of about 0.22 in (5.5 mm).
Its body develops roughly oval in shape and the head typically hides under the pronotum, which generally resembles a disk.
Lastly, the Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle also displays a combination of red and yellow colors with anywhere from 0-19 small black spots as well.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Coleoptera
Family: Coccinellidae
Genus: Harmonia
Species: H. axyridis
Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Distribution, Habitat, and Ecology
The native distribution of the rather fascinating Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle covers a wide swathe of eastern Asia. This range extends from portions of Siberia to Japan, China, and Taiwan.
However, the ill-fated attempts to utilize the creature to control aphids in North America led to its establishment there. It now inhabits all portions of the continental United States, and portions of Canada.
While its natural dwelling places indicate a preference for a variety of trees, any vegetation will be utilized if need be.
The insect primarily feeds on scale insects and aphids. Relative to its size, these lovely creatures nevertheless remain voracious predators.

Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this Cyberounds®, you should be able to:
The treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) during pregnancy is complicated by the fact that few studies have been conducted on whether clinical care should differ during pregnancy or what the long-term effects may be on the developing fetus. There is a long and appropriate tradition of minimizing the use of medications during pregnancy; however, unlike many medications used for conditions such as asthma and hypertension, psychiatric medications are often considered "luxury" medications and are discontinued, at times without consulting the treating psychiatrist.
Abrupt discontinuation of psychiatric medication can result not only in withdrawal symptoms but relapse of the illness. Further, multiple studies have demonstrated that exposure to psychiatric illness in utereo results in poorer outcomes for both mother and child. This Cyberounds® will discuss the clinical approach to treating major depression during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
How Common Are Mood Disorders During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy was, at one time, considered to be protective against relapse in mood disorders.(1)(2) Further research has shown, however, that pregnancy is not protective but is rather risk-neutral for the development of mood episodes. For example, a recent study conducted as part of the 2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions interviewed 14,549 women with a known past-year pregnancy status and compared rates of major psychiatric illness during pregnancy, postpartum and in the non-pregnant female population.(3) No increase in risk for major depression was found during pregnancy as compared to the non-pregnant population.(3)
Many women experience relapse during pregnancy — both on and off medication.
In the bipolar population, Viguera and colleagues retrospectively compared the risks of recurrence in pregnant and non-pregnant women when tapered off lithium.(4) They found no difference in the risks of recurrence between pregnant and non-pregnant women over the same time period, with rates of 52% in pregnant women and 58% in non-pregnant women, thus demonstrating that pregnancy does not appear to increase the risk of relapse.
Even if pregnancy is risk neutral for recurrence of mood disorders, it is not risk free. Many women experience relapse during pregnancy — both on and off medication. In one study, approximately 50% of women with either major depression or bipolar disorder reported significant mood symptoms during, after or both during and after pregnancy.(5)
In contrast, the risk for relapse during pregnancy increases in both patients with major depression and bipolar disorder in the setting of discontinuation of medications. For example, Cohen and colleagues demonstrated a 68% relapse rate in women with major depression who discontinue their medications during the first trimester.(6) In women with bipolar disorder, Viguera reported that in pregnant women who discontinued mood stabilizer there was a recurrence risk of 81-85.5%, while women who continued mood stabilizer treatment had a much lower risk (29-37%).(4)(7) The recurrence risk in a recent study comparing discontinuation of any mood stabilizer to lamotrigine was 100% in the group of women who discontinued medications.(8) The finding that at least 80% of women with bipolar disorder and 60% of women with major depression will relapse when taken off medication suggests that treatment during pregnancy for many patients is necessary in order to prevent recurrence.
Mood Disorder as an Exposure for the Baby
There is evidence in the literature that exposure to mood disorders in utero increases the risk of poor outcomes for the baby. Depression during pregnancy has been associated with low maternal weight gain, increased rates of preterm birth,(9)(10) low birth weight, increased rates of cigarette, alcohol and other substance use,(11) increased ambivalence about the pregnancy and overall worse health status.(12)
Untreated depression during pregnancy is also one of the strongest risk factors for the development of postpartum depression.
Additionally, prenatal exposure to maternal stress has been shown to have consequences for the development of infant temperament.(13) Children exposed to perinatal (either during pregnancy or postpartum) maternal depression have higher cortisol levels than infants of mothers who were not depressed(14)(15)(16)(17) and this finding continues through adolescence.(17) Importantly, treatment of depression during pregnancy appears to help normalize infant cortisol levels.(18) These findings may partially explain the mechanism for an increased vulnerability to psychopathology in children exposed to depression in utero.(19)
Untreated depression during pregnancy is also one of the strongest risk factors for the development of postpartum depression. One should note that postpartum depression has potentially devastating consequences including suicide and infanticide. While the risk for completed suicides and suicide attempts is lower during and after pregnancy than in the general population of women, suicides account for up to 20% of all postpartum deaths and represent one of the leading causes of peripartum mortality.(20)
Postpartum depression is also associated with worse parenting behavior, including decreased rates of infant safety and healthy child development practices,(21) as well as increased use of harsh discipline practices.(22) Impaired bonding during this critical time has been linked to attachment insecurity in the child. Likely due to changes in parenting behavior, exposure to postpartum depression is associated with slower language development, more behavioral problems and lower IQ in the child.(23)
Clinical Care of Women with Mood Disorders During Pregnancy
Prepregnancy Planning
The patient's past psychiatric history, severity of symptoms and medication response history all play a significant role in designing a course of clinical care during pregnancy. For example, while fluoxetine and sertraline are considered appropriate antidepressant choices during pregnancy, if a woman has a history of not responding to either of these medications they cannot be part of the treatment plan. Severity of illness is important to take into account: a case in which the symptoms of depression were mild, responded well to medication and did not recur could be considered for discontinuation of the medication prior to pregnancy. In contrast, a case in which depression was severe, dangerous and required hospitalization several times would not be a candidate for medication discontinuation. Similarly, a woman's reproductive age should play a role in deciding when and if to attempt to change medications prior to pregnancy: an older woman may not have the reproductive time to experiment with a different medication prior to pregnancy.
At the same time, the patient and her partner's wishes regarding medication use during pregnancy should be taken into account when designing a treatment plan. If one or the other is strongly against medication use during pregnancy, it is best for the treatment provider to make sure they understand the risks of no treatment to both the mother and the baby, the rates of relapse, and to outline a course of close follow-up during and after pregnancy rather than insist on the use of medication during pregnancy. A partnership with good communication with the patient and her partner is important to maintain, so that if there is a relapse of illness the patient will remain safe and is more likely to seek care and treatment.
While each case should be considered individually there are some "rules of thumb" that can be used to design a treatment strategy:
Use medications that we know something about: older is usually better.
Common side effect for many psychiatric medications is sedation — baby should be monitored for excessive sleepiness.
General Recommendations for Breastfeeding
The benefits of breastfeeding for the baby are well documented. Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics advocates breastfeeding through the first six months of life. Most psychotropic medications pass readily into breast milk. As noted above, it often does not make sense to switch a medication, to which the infant was exposed in utero, so the mother can more safely breastfeed. Exceptions to this include: 1) the mother's psychiatric illness has relapsed and the current medication regimen is not working; 2) the mother is on a medication that has a risk of severe side effects with continued exposure for the infant (for example, clozaril); 3) the infant appears to be having side effects or medical complications related to the medication exposure during breastfeeding.
If the medication regimen needs to be changed during breastfeeding, the patient, her family and her doctors should consider whether continued breastfeeding is worth the risks of increasing exposures to medications for the infant. Examples of when the risk may be greater than the benefit of continued breastfeeding include: 1) exposure to a new class of medications (for example, going from an exposure to an antidepressant in utero to a mood stabilizer with breastfeeding); 2) exposure to several new medications while breastfeeding; 3) the addition of a medication that may require blood draws for monitoring in the infant. Again, there are no definite rules — each patient and their infant will have unique circumstances and feelings that will need to be considered.
As noted, it is important to involve the pediatrician in the decision-making process and to ask him or her to help monitor the baby for potential side effects. If the baby is being exposed to a medication that can be monitored via blood levels, then a plan should be worked out for ordering appropriate blood work and checking blood levels in the baby. A common side effect for many psychiatric medications is sedation and the baby should be monitored for excessive sleepiness and decreased feeding, particularly during the feeding after the mother takes the medication. Many babies are fussy, colicky or have feeding difficulties without exposure to medications during breastfeeding, so it can be difficult to distinguish what is secondary to medication side effects and what is simply a fussy baby. When in doubt the wisest choice is to do what makes the mother the most comfortable.
General recommendations for minimizing exposure to medications during breastfeeding include: 1) If possible take medication in one dose, at the same time; 2) Take the medication after the baby has been fed and just before the longest time the baby sleeps; 3) "Pump and dump" for the next feeding and use either stored breast milk or formula for that feeding; 4) Resume breastfeeding for the next meal. While there is little research in this area, common sense dictates that these rules may not always need to be followed strictly for medications that do not, to date, appear to have a high risk of side effects in infants (for example, SSRI antidepressants) and should be more strongly recommended when medications have a higher risk of toxicity for the young infant (for example, lithium). It is good practice to discuss these guidelines with the mother, as many women find it comforting that they can actively do something to minimize exposure for their child.
Take the medication after the baby has been fed.
Choosing Medications During Pregnancy
Prescription drug use during pregnancy is common. Between 1996 and 2000, 64% of all women who delivered a child had a drug other than a vitamin or mineral supplement prescribed in the 270 days before delivery, 97% of which were not FDA Pregnancy Category A (i.e., "safest").(25) The choice of whether or not to prescribe a medication during pregnancy is challenging and prescribing should take into account not only the potential risks and benefits for the unborn infant but also for the mother.
There are a number of reasons why the use of psychiatric medications during pregnancy is controversial. First, psychiatric medications are often considered "luxury" medications, i.e., ones that can and should be stopped during pregnancy, in the same category as ibuprofen or sleep aids. This belief stems from both a common misperception of psychiatric illnesses as different from, and not as serious as, medical illnesses, as well as from the fact that psychiatric diagnoses are made on the basis of clinical history and not via a lab test or physical findings.
FDA Guidelines
Since 1979, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has required that pharmaceutical product information include information about safety during pregnancy.(26) Products are classified under one of five letter categories, largely based, until recently, upon animal studies. The categories are, however, confusing and imply an increasing level of risk from category A to category X, which is not, in fact, the case. For example, oral contraceptives are in category X simply because there is no reason to use them in pregnancy, not because there is evidence of birth defects if they are used during pregnancy.
The level of investigation used to categorize individual medications varies from medication to medication, as does the level of risk actually imposed by a particular drug. Medications may be placed in the same category and have vastly different levels of risk and/or different levels of evidence supporting their categorization. The FDA Pregnancy Categories can therefore provide a "quick and dirty" assessment but may not provide information that is useful in planning clinical care.
Antidepressants and Pregnancy and Lactation
Overall there does not appear to be an increased risk of major malformations with exposure to antidepressants in utero, though for many agents there are few or no data available. The one exception is paroxetine which has been associated with a small increased risk of cardiac defects (2 out of 1000) with first trimester exposure and should, therefore, be used only if there are no other choices for that particular patient.(27)(28)
In general, many practitioners will prescribe SSRI medications during pregnancy for major depression since they are well tolerated. Of the SSRI medications, both fluoxetine and sertraline have more data regarding safety than the newer SSRIs such as escitalopram. The older tricyclic antidepressants should also be considered for use during pregnancy, though their common side effects, particularly constipation and orthostatic hypotension, may be exacerbated by pregnancy.(10)
Most antidepressants appear to be relatively safe during breastfeeding.
Despite limited data on the use of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), bupropion, mitazapine and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, any of these agents may be appropriate in a particular patient. Einarson et al. reported there was no increased risk of major malformations in infants exposed to venlafaxine in utero in a multicenter prospective study of pregnant women taking venlafaxine.(29) Similarly, Cole et al. reported that there did not seem to be an increased risk of malformations for infants exposed to bupropion in utero(30) and one study indicated that it could be helpful for pregnant women who are trying to quit smoking.(31) Finally, Djulus et al. conducted a prospective study investigating the teratogenic effects of mirtazepine and found no increase in major fetal malformations in a group of 104 pregnant women.(32)
Most antidepressants appear to be relatively safe during breastfeeding. SSRIs are generally well tolerated. Fluoxetine has the longest history of use during lactation, but also has a long half-life, which can in theory lead to higher levels, even toxicity, in the young infant.(33) Similarly, citalopram has a high milk/plasma concentration and therefore a higher risk of toxicity.(33) Therefore, these agents should be used with caution and only if used successfully during pregnancy or previously in a particular patient.(33) Tricyclic antidepressants also have a well established history of use during lactation. Serum levels should be followed and the baby monitored for side effects including sedation and constipation. Again, similar to the literature on exposure during pregnancy, there are little data on SNRIs, bupropion, mitazapine and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. The available data are generally reassuring despite one case report of a seizure in an infant exposed to buproprion.(34)
Potential Risks to the Fetus Associated with Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN)
To date, there have been six studies on the association between SSRIs and PPHN in the newborn with conflicting results. The first was published in 2006(39) and is the basis for the FDA Alert issued in July 2006 regarding the possible association of PPHN with SSRI antidepressants. This case-control study compared 377 women who had infants diagnosed with PPHN to 836 matched control women with infants not diagnosed with PPHN. Fourteen of the infants with PPHN had been exposed to a SSRI after the 20th week of gestation; in contrast, six infants of those who did not have PPHN were exposed to SSRI medications.(39) This generated an adjusted (for maternal diabetes, race, body-mass index) odds ratio of 6.1.
A second study, conducted through the Swedish Medical Birth Register for the years 1997-2005, examined the medical records of 831,324 women who had given birth during this period.(40) Antidepressant use was identified at the first antenatal care visit (usually first trimester) and through prescriptions written by the antenatal health service. This method did not include prescriptions written by other physicians such as psychiatrists, and thus information on antidepressant use late in pregnancy was incomplete. Of 506 infants with PPHN, 11 had been exposed early in pregnancy to an SSRI, which generated a relative risk estimate of 2.01 (CI 1.00-3.60). When only those cases with a known exposure late in pregnancy and born at or after 37 weeks were included, the relative risk rose to 3.70 (CI 1.01-9.48).(40)
A third study used data from the HMO Research Network Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics from 1996-2000.(41) Infants exposed to SSRIs (n=1104) during the third trimester were compared to a matched sample of 1104 infants not exposed to SSRIs. Five infants, two from the exposed group and three from the non-exposed group, were identified with PPHN. There was no difference in prevalence rates between the two groups.(25)
Wichman et al.(41) conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of all pregnant women presenting to the Rochester, MN Mayo Clinic site from 1993-2005. They identified ~25,000 deliveries and found that 808 women had been treated with SSRIs at some point in their pregnancy. Of the 16 infants who developed persistent pulmonary hypertension, none had an exposure to SSRIs. Wilson et al.(42) performed a case-controlled study with a 1:6 ratio of infants delivered at Madigan Army Medical Center with persistent pulmonary hypertension from 2003-2009. Twenty cases were identified, none of whom had been exposed to SSRIs. Finally, in the largest study to date, Kieler et al.(43) examined prospectively-collected data from the national health registers in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden from 1996-2007. The researchers found 1935 cases of persistent pulmonary hypertension in the non-exposed group (out of 1.5 million infants), 32 cases out of 17,053 infants exposed to SSRIs early in pregnancy (odds ratio of 1.4) and 33 cases out of 11,014 infants exposed to SSRIs late in pregnancy (odds ratio of 2.1).
PPHN is an extremely rare condition.
One issue that complicates interpretation of these studies is that several factors associated with the development of PPHN in the general population, including maternal smoking, maternal diabetes and high pre-pregnancy BMI, are also associated with MDD and psychiatric disorders in general. Future prospective studies that control for such factors are needed in order to fully elucidate the association between SSRIs and the development of PPHN in the newborn.
It is also important to keep the potential elevated risk in perspective by considering the absolute risk. PPHN is an extremely rare condition, occurring in 1-2 infants out of 1000 in the general population.(36)(37) If one assumes that SSRIs increase the odds of the development of PPHN by six times the rate in the general population, only 6-12 (0.6-1.2%) infants exposed to SSRIs will develop PPHN out of 1000 exposed. Thus, approximately 99% of women who take SSRIs during pregnancy will give birth to a healthy infant who does not develop PPHN. In contrast, the risks associated with untreated depression during pregnancy are much higher and more common.
Poor Neonatal Adaptation Syndrome.
Regardless, the FDA instituted a class labeling change in 2004 for both SSRI and SNRI antidepressants, warning that third trimester exposure to these antidepressants may be associated with signs and symptoms consistent with the syndrome. According to the label change, "reported clinical findings have included respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, seizures, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, vomiting, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, tremor, jitteriness, irritability, and constant crying."
As a consequence of the FDA action, many practitioners have recommended tapering antidepressants prior to labor and delivery even though it remains unclear if tapering decreases the risk for the syndrome and increases the risk for postpartum depression. It should be noted that most cases of the neonatal syndrome appear to be very mild, self-limited and do not appear to be associated with lasting repercussions.(45)
Other confounding factors and unanswered questions further complicate the decision to continue or taper antidepressants including: 1) what effect breastfeeding may have on the risk for the neonatal syndrome? 2) what is the contribution of maternal psychiatric illness? and 3) what is the use of multiple psychotropic agents during pregnancy?(45) Available data suggest that approximately one-third of exposed infants will have at least mild symptoms consistent with the syndrome and that this risk increases when multiple agents, particularly benzodiazepines, are used.(46) Larger more rigorous studies of the syndrome, as well as strategies to minimize its rate, are needed because, at this time, there is not enough evidence from a safety perspective to recommend tapering of antidepressants in the third trimester, particularly in cases of moderate to severe maternal mental illness.
Psychotherapy and Pregnancy
Psychotherapy for patients with psychiatric illness who are also pregnant is an important part of any treatment plan. Supportive therapy that addresses such issues as coping skills, stress reduction, conflicts regarding becoming a parent and improving relationship skills can all be an important part of providing good care to the pregnant psychiatric patient. From a practical perspective, pregnancy is probably not the time to treat deep-seated psychological issues, as the treatment provider's goal should be to minimize stress and the triggering of anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Depression, anxiety and other psychiatric disorders respond to various forms of psychotherapy during pregnancy in the same way that they respond at other times of a woman's life, though little work in this area has been completed. A Cochrane review of psychotherapeutic interventions for the treatment of depression during pregnancy found only one randomized controlled trial in interpersonal therapy, which did reduce depressive symptoms in pregnant women but concluded that there was not enough rigorous work in this area.(47) There has been one trial of interpersonal therapy in pregnant women(48) but in general there is currently a lack of large randomized controlled trials of cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy for the treatment of MDD during pregnancy.(47) Despite this lack of data these approaches should be considered either as adjunctive care to medication use or instead of medication use for pregnant women with MDD who wish to discontinue medications during pregnancy. Future work should better define the use of these modalities in pregnant women with MDD.
Give the fact that Ms. Candice has a history of recurrent depression and that her last episode of depression was severe, Ms. Candice is at high risk of recurrence if her antidepressant medication is discontinued. However, though there is currently no evidence that escitalopram is associated with teratogenic changes in an exposed infant, it is a newer antidepressant and less information is therefore available. Since Ms. Candice has not been treated with other antidepressants in the past (and therefore has not failed other medications), one option would be to change her antidepressant to a medication with which we have a longer experience such as sertraline or fluoxetine.
If Ms. Candice remains stable, ideally for at least three months, she could then proceed with pregnancy. The treatment provider should explain the risks and benefits of treatment during pregnancy, as well as the risks of no treatment. The provider should discuss the option of switching medications, as well as the potential risks associated with switching including relapse and delay of pregnancy. Ultimately the decisions whether or not to switch and whether to use medication during pregnancy should be made by Ms. Candice and her husband, as they will need to be satisfied that they made the correct decision for their family.
In this version, the clinical history is the same but the patient has become pregnant prior to planning medication changes. Should the treatment provider suggest a change in medication to an older and more established antidepressant? The short answer is "no" because the goal is to limit the number of exposures for the baby. Since the baby has already been exposed to the escitalopram it does not make sense to expose the baby to another, different antidepressant unless Ms. Candice were to relapse while taking the escitalopram. The treatment provider should review the risks and benefits of taking medication versus the risks of untreated mood disorder during pregnancy and provide reassurance to the patient. The treatment provider should also discuss the treatment plan with the family and other treatment providers involved with the case.
Since there is no clear history of major depressive episodes and the fluoxetine was originally prescribed for premenstrual symptoms, it is appropriate in this case to suggest tapering off the fluoxetine. Before attempting to get pregnant, the patient should wait for at least three months after ending fluoxetine to make sure that she is psychiatrically stable.
Many women with MDD will need medication management during pregnancy due to the severity of their illness, the high rate of relapse in women who stop their medications, and the poor outcomes associated with untreated MDD during pregnancy to both the mother and the child. A thoughtful approach, weighing both the risks and the benefits of medication use, as well as the potential risks of untreated illness, should be undertaken, ideally prior to pregnancy.
The goal of psychiatric management during pregnancy should be to limit the number of exposures to the baby, including exposure to psychiatric illness. As a class, antidepressant medications are generally not associated with major organ malformations, with the exception of paroxetine, and older medications that we know more about from the literature are preferred to newer ones. SSRIs have been associated with two potential syndromes: persistent pulmonary hypertension and poor neonatal adaption syndrome.
While studies are conflicting regarding persistent pulmonary hypertension, the relative risk is less than 1% of those exposed. Approximately 30% of infants exposed to SSRI medications during the third trimester will develop poor neonatal adaptation syndrome, most with mild symptoms. The long-term sequelae of this syndrome remains unclear and much work needs to be done to better define this syndrome and the clinical practices that can be used to minimize its occurrence.
Overall, the literature to date is relatively reassuring regarding the use of antidepressants for significant psychiatric illness during pregnancy, though every case should be considered individually and the risks and benefits fully explored with each patient.
Future directions of research should include: examination of whether tapering SSRIs during the third trimester minimizes the risk of poor neonatal adaptation syndrome; exploration of clinical interventions, including specific psychotherapies that decrease the rate of relapse in women who discontinue their medications for pregnancy; and a fuller understanding of the association between psychiatric illness during pregnancy and poor outcomes for the child.

Google Unearths Russia-Backed Ads Related to U.S. Politics on Its Platforms
Search giant has shared some of the advertisements with congressional investigators
Google found that Russian-linked entities bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of politically motivated ads on its platform around the U.S. presidential election, according to people familiar with the investigation, the first sign that Russia's alleged attempts to influence the 2016 vote spread to the world's largest advertising business.
Similar to ads that ran on Facebook Inc., the ads on Google touched on a variety of hot-button social topics, without a clear bent toward one candidate or political position, these people said. The ads mainly ran above Google search results and on third-party websites where Google serves ads, another person said.
Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc., has shared some of the Russian-bought advertisements with congressional investigators, the people said.
"We have a set of strict ads policies including limits on political ad targeting and prohibitions on targeting based on race and religion," Google said in a statement. "We are taking a deeper look to investigate attempts to abuse our systems, working with researchers and other companies, and will provide assistance to ongoing inquiries."
Google found that accounts linked to the Russian government bought $4,700 worth of ads, while accounts with other Russian links spent $53,000 on ads, one of the people said. Google used signs such as Russian IP addresses, Russian language settings or payments in Russian rubles to link customers to Russia, the person said. It isn't clear how Google tied some accounts to the Russian government.
Russia has denied U.S. intelligence agencies' reports that it interfered in the election.
Google discovered the ad buys as part of a broad internal investigation into Russian use of its services ahead of the election, one of several probes into Russian meddling in the election by federal investigators, Congress and technology firms. Google's investigation extends beyond ad purchases and examines whether Russian actors used other Google tools, such as posting videos on YouTube.
Facebook and Twitter Inc. have both found Russian attempts to use their websites to influence U.S. voters, including by buying ads. Congressional investigators have asked Google, Facebook and Twitter to testify publicly on Nov. 1.
The Washington Post and the New York Times previously reported Google's discovery of the Russian-bought ads.
Google identified the pool of ads by looking at any ads with political tie-ins that were also bought by customers with any Russian links, one person said. Google identified some of the ad buys by comparing its customers with Russian-linked accounts on Twitter, via data it downloaded from Twitter, this person said. Google is scrutinizing the ads to see which were bought by Russian trolls, or agents who specifically try to spread misinformation, and whether any were legitimate purchases, such as an American who happened to be in Russia while buying ads, this person said.
Foreigners are broadly prohibited from spending money to influence U.S. elections, but many of the rules designed to police political spending were written long before digital media companies became a dominant force in political life.
" We must update our laws to ensure that when political ads are sold online Americans know who paid for them. "
Sens. Mark Warner (D., Va.) and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) are working on legislation that would force digital media companies such as Google, Twitter and Facebook to make public additional information about who is buying political ads on their platforms, and to make such ads available to the public.
"We must update our laws to ensure that when political ads are sold online Americans know who paid for them," said Ms. Klobuchar in a statement. "Foreign agents are taking advantage of loopholes in our laws."
Still, that legislation likely wouldn't capture all of the ads bought by Russian agents. Some of the Facebook groups allegedly run by Russian entities focused on social issues—rather than specific candidates—with posts criticizing everything from immigration to police brutality to gun control.
Google built the world's largest advertising business by serving ads on its hugely popular services, such as YouTube and its search engine, which attract well over a billion users a month globally.
One of the major innovations of Google's ad platform is its automation. Google enables brands to advertise on millions of search terms by simply filling out online forms and entering payment information. No human employees at Google typically sign off on the transaction. That automation has allowed Google's ad business to reach a huge scale, but the lack of oversight has made it susceptible to misuse. The company forfeited $500 million in 2011 for letting Canadian pharmacies advertise prescription drugs to U.S. consumers, for example.
It isn't clear how many people saw the ads sold by Google. Russian use of tech firms' platforms went beyond buying ads. Facebook and Twitter identified hundreds of accounts with ties to Russia, and researchers have said posts by those accounts likely outnumbered ads bought by Russian actors.
Facebook estimates 10 million users saw 3,000 Russian-linked ads on its site. But posts by Russian-controlled Facebook accounts were seen maybe hundreds of millions of times, according to an analysis by Jonathan Albright, research director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University.
YouTube, the world's largest video site, is Google's main social-media network, and it is full of fringe content, including political videos posted by Russian users. For instance, Russian state media RT has amassed more than 5.4 billion views across 20 separate YouTube channels it controls.

KUWAIT CITY, Jan 9: The National Assembly, in its ordinary session on Tuesday, elected MP Nasser Al-Dousari as member of the Foreign Affairs Committee replacing MP Ali Al-Deqbasi. MP Talal Al-Jalal was also elected as member of the Public Utilities Committee in place of MP Mohammed Al-Hadiya. It can be recalled that the Assembly approved, during its ordinary session on Dec 19, 2017, the resignation of Al-Deqbasi and Al-Hadiya from membership of the abovementioned committees.
Meanwhile, a number of MPs stressed the need to allocate a Municipality for each governorate and give them enough power to carry out their work according to the regulations; taking into consideration their importance and close link with the development plan. The MPs presented the suggestion while discussing the report of the Public Utilities Committee on the proposed amendment of Municipality Law No. 33/2016.
They criticized the government for its failure to submit the date of Municipal Council elections, since the work period of the interim committee tasked to specify the election date has already ended. They claimed this is a clear manifestation of the government's hesitation in taking decisions and lack of vision, in addition to the absence of special committees in charge of municipal affairs.
They expressed concern over the possibility that some citizens will be deprived of the right to vote in the election, stressing the need for an election system which ensures justice for all. They stressed the need to activate the role of the council, especially in organizing districts and monitoring their conditions as these are vital in the implementation of development projects including infrastructure.
They also called for declaring the council as a private entity. On another issue, the Assembly rejected the request of the Public Prosecution to lift the immunity of MP Safaa Al-Hashem to stand trial in municipal misdemeanor Case No. 3303/2017. Deputy Speaker Issa Al-Kandari adjourned the session until Wednesday to discuss bills on reducing the retirement age and amendment of the Municipality Law.

Am wondering when the directory last modified date is changed. I modified a file inside a particular directory (via FTP), but the directory's LMD did not change. How is it suppose to function?
The mtime (modification time) on the directory itself changes when a file or a subdirectory is added, removed or renamed.
Modifying the contents of a file within the directory does not change the directory itself, nor does updating the modified times of a file or a subdirectory. If you change the permissions on the directory, the ctime changes but the mtime does not.
2Is it modified when a subdirectory is modified? – Flimm Sep 30 '13 at 9:42
6@Flimm: it depends on the nature of the modification to the sub-directory. If a file is added to or removed from the sub-directory, then no. If the sub-directory is renamed, then yes (because the new name is stored in the directory holding the sub-directory, so what 'really' changes is the entry in the main directory, and nothing changes in the sub-directory). – Jonathan Leffler Sep 30 '13 at 13:02
7@Asmageddon: if something is modified several levels deep, there is no way to know that from the modification time of the directory several levels up. Think what that would entail -- ultimately, the root directory would have to be modified any time any file was modified anywhere, making its in-memory inode a hot-spot for every process that ever does anything with any file. – Jonathan Leffler Oct 28 '14 at 16:23
5@cram2208: Does Gedit create a backup file within the directory, or a lock file, or something like that? What happens if you use
touch somefileinstead of
gedit? – Jonathan Leffler Feb 13 '17 at 23:23
3@JonathanLeffler Good insights I should say, I now understand completely what was going on. It was a backup file in the directory and not the modification of the file in itself. When using touch on the file it actually changed the LMD of the file but not of the directory. Gotta be more careful on those kind of details ... – cram2208 Feb 13 '17 at 23:31
A directory is like a file that contains a list of the filenames in it (indeed, you may have accidentally opened a directory in an editor, where you can see it is a mostly-readable list of its contents) -- so it is modified when a file in that directory is added, removed, or renamed.
1Is it modified when a subdirectory is modified? – Flimm Sep 30 '13 at 9:41
1@Flimm It seems to only update the containing directory's mtime otherwise it would bubble up to the root. – Nick Weaver Jul 2 '14 at 11:54
Out of interest, which editors allow you to open a directory directly? Most (even
cat) seem to complain, or offer a list of file to open instead. – naught101 Jun 7 '17 at 1:15
@naught101 vim will quite happily open a directory. – Ether Jun 8 '17 at 20:12
3@Ether: It doesn't "open a directory" as in actually reading the directory's inode's data (or what ever equivalent on other file systems). It just provides a file browser for that directory. – naught101 Jun 9 '17 at 1:17

Ability to create a Tableau Data Extract (TDE) using 2 or more TDEs.
We have couple of dashboards that use Fact Table A and dimension tables D1, D2, D3 and D4. For this we created data extract TDE1.
Now we got another requirement that needs Fact Table A combined with Fact Table B (union all). And we need D1, D2, D3, D4 and 2 more dimension tables.
We can not use TDE1. We need to create another custom sql for extracting data for this new requirement and create TDE2.
We refresh the data every night, meaning we will pull data from common tables multiple times. With increase in data volume, the extracts take long time and could not be finished in 5-7 hours of window. (Incremental refresh can not be used due to updates on past data)
If Tableau supports a structure in which we can pull data from TDE 1, join with data from another extract or database table using proper join condition (not data blending), it would be great. Also pulling data from TDE is faster than pulling from DB.
Basically, the idea is pull data only once from each table. Then create a layer of many TDEs. Use dashboard specific TDEs to create a one TDE per dashboard.
I checked with Tableau people but this functionality is not supported.
Please let me know more inputs.

Client Testimonies
"Amanda was such a pleasure to have during my pregnancy! I was interested in having a natural birth and using alternative methods throughout my journey. She was well informed regarding all the different options available to me. Amanda listened to my concerns and desires and provided me with exactly what I needed. She accompanied me to various birthing centers and hospital locations in order for me to choose what was right for my birth. I always felt taken care of and in good hands with her expertise by my side! I was also so happy to receive informational emails from Amanda throughout my pregnancy pertaining to my specific needs. All in all, I am so happy I decided to work with Amanda and have her as my Doula!"
Holly C. Cueto
"Amanda was a god send. She was so knowledgeable, comforting and supportive - like a cheerleader, and really helped guide my husband in supporting me. She was a key player to have along during the pregnancy and through the labor. She was always available when I had questions, and showed up quickly when I went into labor on thanksgiving night. She's dedicated, judgment free, strong, caring and sympathetic. Just the kind of woman you'd want by your side for the most special time of your life. I'm blessed I was able to have her with me. "
Haven King
"As a first time mother I had no idea what to expect in pregnancy and birth. But from the very first time I sat down with Amanda I walked away more confident, less scared, and totally empowered. She was always a text away when I had a question and seemed to check in on my at just the right time, every time. My husband and I felt prepared for the unexpected and were able to utilize techniques and tools we learned from Amanda even though my birth experience DID take a few of those unexpected turns. Not a week went by in my pregnancy that we didn't look at each other and say, "Thank God for Amanda".
Brittany Chatburn
"I am so grateful to have had Amanda by my side at the birth of my first baby. She was incredibly supportive and attentive throughout the whole process, especially during the most challenging parts of delivery. We were able to experience an unmedicated birth, and while that was always our hope— I don't know if it could've happened without Amanda's invaluable support and presence in the room."

Novo Nordisk on Thursday announced that the European Commission granted marketing authorisation to Esperoct (turoctocog alfa pegol) for use in adolescents aged 12 years and older and adults with haemophilia A. Chief science officer Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen remarked "we are confident that Esperoct will provide people with haemophilia A a simple and less burdensome, predictable dosing regimen for prophylaxis as well as treatment of bleeding episodes, resulting in improved quality of life."
The approval was backed by safety and efficacy data from a clinical trial programme involving 270 previously treated patients with severe haemophilia A and more than 5 years of clinical exposure. Study results revealed that Esperoct was associated with an annual bleeding rate of 1.18 at a dose of 50 IU/kg every 4 days in adults and adolescents, while the treatment effectively treated and controlled bleeding episodes. The drugmaker added that the therapy "was found to be efficacious in treatment and control of bleeding episodes and perioperative management."
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency issued a positive opinion backing approval of Esperoct for this indication in April. Novo Nordisk said that it plans to launch the treatment in certain European countries in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, Esperoct was cleared by the FDA for the treatment of haemophilia A in children and adults in February.

Symptoms of BPH
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, common in older men. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate involve problems with bladder function and urination problems, such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination in men and inability to empty the bladder completely.
Most men find that symptoms gradually worsen with time and many find that symptoms are made worse by stress and cold weather. There is no cure for an enlarged prostate but BladderVoid can help to ease BPH symptoms, by helping to initiate urination and empty the bladder, providing relief and comfort.
Common BPH Symptoms Include
- Problems urinating
- Difficulty initiating urination
- Weak urine stream and/or stopping and starting during urination
- Dribbling at the end of urination
- Pain or difficulty during urination
- Sudden and urgent need to urinate
- Frequent urination, especially at night
These symptoms are not uniquely linked to BPH and do not necessarily correlate with the amount of prostate enlargement. Symptoms are specific to the individual, someone with slight enlargement may have worse symptoms than someone with more severe enlargement.
If you are experiencing urination problems associated with BPH symptoms, consult with your physician to determine if your symptoms are attributed to an enlarged prostate and to rule out other conditions. Symptoms such as frequent urination in men or difficulty urinating can be a sign of a urinary tract infection, prostate cancer, or other condition.
BPH is a benign condition and is not a precursor to prostate cancer. Since the symptoms are very similar, it is important to seek diagnosis from a physician.
BladderVoid Relieves BPH Symptoms
BladderVoid is specially designed to ease the urination problems and symptoms caused by BPH. BladderVoid works by stimulating the urge to urinate and helping to completely empty the bladder. This medically patented device works by delivering soothing heat to the muscles and nerves in the genital region. This allows the muscles to relax and the urine to flow more freely through completion.

At Let's Talk Payments, we have written about numerous cases of frauds and data breaches that have taken place in the payment space. The victims have to bear the cost of fraud which shows a rising trend as new cases come up. Hackers and criminals target critical payment information parameters mostly linked to the payment card or the account being used. The industry is concerned about the revenue leak taking place through fraudulent incidents. To counter these risks, several companies have started offering fraud detection, security solutions and risk management capabilities. They are also looking into next generation payment technologies in order to develop solutions enabling secure transactions for the end consumer.
In this regard, Knowledgefaber has generated a report covering in-depth analysis of the U.S. Payments Authentication and Security market. The research projected in the report shows that building secure payments system is the foremost priority for retailers in U.S. The security of payments has become a matter of concern for retailers and financial institutions after the recent breaches. Ensuring smooth operation of payment systems is one of the basic tasks of retailers and financial institutions. Safe and secure functioning payment systems are important for building and ensuring trust among shoppers.
Though cyber security and data theft are a global phenomenon, public and private entities in the U.S. over-whelmingly are the most attractive targets of cyber-attacks. All the recent data breaches which include Target Corp., Neiman Marcus, Sally Beauty Holdings Inc., Michaels Stores Inc. and P.F Chang's clearly point out the fact that U.S. consumers are not safe and an enormous amount of work is to be done in the U.S. to stop data breaches. Highest amount of fraud happens in U.S., and hardly a month goes by when there isn't a breach from some large U.S. retailer. U.S. lags in card security as compared to other countries.
Our study has found out that Point-of-Sale (POS) is one of the most vulnerable locations and a large number of frauds occur every year at the POS. Many companies are trying to build solutions to prevent payments fraud.
The study by Knowledgefaber estimates Payments Security Market in U.S. to be US $1,327 Million in 2013. The Payments Security Market includes Fraud Detection and Prevention (Back End) Solutions and End Point Security Solutions.
This report reveals market share of U.S. Payments Security Solutions Providers, Fraud Detection and Prevention (Back End) Solutions Providers and End Point Security Solutions Providers.
The report exhibits payments authentication techniques in U.S. and market size of payment authentication in U.S. The payment authentication market in U.S. is poised to grow at a CAGR of X%.
US Payment Authentication and Security Market Report also tries to illustrate – how Tokenization and End to End Encryption will help in preventing payments fraud.
The evolution of analytics has played a key role in reducing payments fraud. This report showcases the analytics techniques to reduce payments fraud.
Retailers are the most affected by payment frauds. The report shows how much retailers are investing to build a safe and secure payments system and what are the present and expected future solutions to reduce payments fraud.
In this report you will come across companies like First data RSA (EMC), Fidelity National Information services (FIS), Symantec, TSYS, Chase Paymenttech, Magtek, Vantiv, Mcafee, Cisco, BAE System Detica, FICO, Scansource, ReD, Verifone, Trustwave, Trend Micro, Verisign, Sophos, Websense, Blue Coat System, Kaspersky Lab, Fire Eye INC, NCR, ACI, Fortinet, Delego software, ProofPoint, Datacap systems, Crucialtec, Ingenico, ZIX Corp, Cybera, Intrusion INC, Feedzai, Clearswift, Vasco Data Security, Uniqul, EdgeWave, Checkpoint etc. and dozens of other companies.

My annual Club Pogo subscription auto-renewed in Dec. I have Pogo mail stating new & resubscribing members receive $10.00 off membership dues.
I did not receive $10. off, so my Q is:
Is there a difference between renewing & resubscribing?
I tend to think (?maybe?), there is, just not convinced…yet.

'Bad gals do it well!' Rihanna shows off her tattoo as she heads for a dip in the pool... followed by a visit to a shooting range
Ten days into September Rihanna added a new etching to her skin to honor her late grandmother.
Proud of how the intricate design came out, she's wasting no time showing it off whilst the sun is still out as she takes a break from her hectic schedule.
And always one to keep her fans updated via Twitter, the 24-year-old uploaded a picture of herself and her best friend, Melissa Ford, as she got ready to take a dip in the pool.
Poolside: Rihanna uploaded a picture of herself and her bestfriend Melissa Ford to her Twitter page on Friday
Using hashtags to describe the image, the accompanying caption read: '#poolside #bfflife'.
Still as close as ever, Rihanna and her BFF both stood in a pair of denim shorts and their bikini tops.
Lounging: Rihanna also posted this snap showing off her bikini body
Keeping an eye out: The singer lifted her sunglasses for another cheeky snap
Covering up her recently cropped hairstyle the Talk That Talk songstress wore a green fitted cap which was embellished with yellow cannabis plants.
Following her pool session with Melissa, Rihanna headed to a shooting range with some pals.
Quick to post a few pictures, in one shot wearing a printed white crop top and a pair of jeans, the chart topper stares into the camera lens with her circular shades tilted down as her friends pose behind her whilst holding headphones on her wrist.
And another snap sees her standing behind a bullet holed sheet of paper which she is holding up.
'Bad gals do it well': The singer and her friend pulled various poses as they arrived at a shooting range
Bang bang I shot you down: In another snap the 24-year-old stood behind a sheet that had been fired at
Looking forward to her trip, hours before she uploaded any pictures to the micro-blogging site, she made several references to handling guns, using lyrics from her own songs.
Taking a line from her unreleased track G4L off her Rated R album, she tweeted: 'I lick the gun when I'm done cuz I know that revenge is sweet'.
The Bajan singer is widely known for wearing next-to-nothing on stage and has appeared naked in pop videos and magazine shoots
But on Thursday, the Rude Boy singer left it to a professional to do the disrobing as she visited a stripclub.
In the mood for (lap) dancing: Rihanna posted a Twitter photo of her and friend Melissa Forde's legs several hours before her stripclub visit
Rihanna appeared to get very up close and personal with one stripper as she posted a candid photo of her antics on her Twitter page.
A naked lapdancer is seen holding her naked breasts in her hands with her head between Rihanna's thighs while being showered with money.
In a play on U.S. rapper Juicy J's song Bands Will Make Her Dance, Rihanna captioned the photo: 'Bands ah make her dance.'
This isn't the first time Rihanna has visited a strip club - in May, the star enjoyed some dancers at a gentlemen's club called Perfections in Queens, New York.
Making it rain: A topless stripper was covered in money as she stuck her head between Rihanna's thighs
While there, she tweeted some raunchy photos of her and a female friend in suggestive positions with the dancers as they threw money on them.
The dancers were clearly eager to please their star client as they danced and gyrated both on and around her.
While Rihanna sat down in one image, one blonde haired woman in a bikini shook her derrière on the Bajan's thighs.
When she posted the photos earlier this year, she claimed 'my daddy would be proud'.
As well as saying that her father Ronald Fenty would be proud of her antics, Rihanna also claimed that her excursion was therapeutic.
She said: 'Best stress reliever= $tripper$. Kill it Tip it #Cake'.
Exes: Meanwhile Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown was seen leaving Roxbury nightclub in Hollywood on Thursday night
Showing off? Chris was sporting an open vest revealing his bare chest and several tattoos of his own
