[jwl-utmce-widget id=3659]For more than 200 years, our party has led the fight for civil rights, health care, Social Security, workers' rights, and women's rights. We are the party of Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, FDR, and the countless everyday Americans who work each day to build a more perfect union. Take a look at some of our accomplishments, and you'll see why we're proud to be Democrats.
The Democratic Party is the oldest political party in the United States and among the oldest political parties in the world. It traces its roots to 1792 and the anti-Federalists — followers of Thomas Jefferson. The modern Democratic Party arose after 1828 with the election of President Andrew Jackson.
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE, 1920: Under the leadership of Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. Constitution was amended to grant women the right to vote. In August of 1920, Tennessee's became the 36th state to ratify women's suffrage, and it became our nation's 19th amendment.
SOCIAL SECURITY ACT, 1935: One of the most enduring parts of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, the Social Security Act provides assistance to retirees, the unemployed, widows, and orphans. By signing this act, Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to advocate for federal assistance for the elderly. It was largely opposed by Republican legislators.
G.I. Bill: In 1944, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the G.I. Bill—a historic measure that provided unprecedented benefits for soldiers returning from World War II, including low-cost mortgages, loans to start a business, and tuition and living expenses for those seeking higher education.
POST-WWII: Harry Truman helped rebuild Europe after World War II with the Marshall Plan and oversaw the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. By integrating the military, President Truman helped to bring down barriers of race and gender and pave the way the way for civil rights advancements in the years that followed.
1960s: Americans again turned to Democrats and elected President John F. Kennedy to tackle the challenges of a new era. President Kennedy dared Americans to put a man on the moon, created the Peace Corps, and negotiated a treaty banning atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.
And after President Kennedy's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson, offered a new vision of a Great Society and signed into law the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act.
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT, 1964: This landmark legislation outlawed major forms of discrimination against African Americans and women and prohibited racial segregation. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, it ended unequal voting requirements and segregated schools, workplaces, and public facilities.
MEDICARE: President Johnson's enactment of Medicare was a watershed moment in America's history that redefined our country's commitment to our seniors—offering a new promise that all Americans have the right to a healthy retirement.
POST-WATERGATE: In 1976, in the wake of the Watergate scandal, Americans elected Jimmy Carter to restore dignity to the White House. He created the Departments of Education and Energy and helped to forge a lasting peace between Israel and Egypt.
1990s: In 1992, after 12 years of Republican presidents, record budget deficits, and high unemployment, America elected Bill Clinton to get America moving again. President Clinton balanced the budget, helped the economy add 23 million new jobs, and oversaw the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in history.
BARACK OBAMA: In 2008, Americans elected the nations' first African-American president to reverse our country's slide into the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression and undo eight years of policies that favored the few over the many.
PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, 2010: After decades of trying and despite unanimous opposition from Republicans, President Obama and Democrats passed comprehensive health reform into law in March 2010. The Affordable Care Act will hold insurance companies accountable, lower costs, expand coverage, and improve care for all Americans.

Chemical Computing Group Announces Agreement with IBM to Offer Joint Technology Solution for Life Sciences.
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, March 24, 2003
Today at the American Chemical Society's National Meeting, Chemical Computing Group (CCG), one of the world's leading drug discovery software companies, announced it has signed a Marketing Relationship Agreement with IBM, the world's leading information technology company. The agreement will offer innovative and scalable solutions that directly address the growing needs of Drug Discovery scientists. CCG has adapted its flagship product, the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE™), to run on powerful IBM eServer pSeries and xSeries servers running AIX and Linux operating systems, respectively, and IBM to work with IBM's DB2 database technology.
This new relationship offers drug-discovery scientists a comprehensive and integrated solution that enables them to access and share their in-house data across all platforms and operating systems in a collaborative manner. "The fact that CCG is one of the first major software vendors to have ported our entire suite of drug discovery applications to IBM's AIX operating system demonstrates our commitment to IBM. MOE's unique scalability and versatility combined with IBM's wide array of computer products means that our joint solutions give scientists greater choice than ever before. For the first time, they can operate the same powerful drug discovery software (MOE) on anything from a departmental compute cluster like the IBM eServer 1300 or 1350 Linux Cluster, on a powerful UNIX server like the IBM pSeries, or on laptop computers like the IBM ThinkPad running Windows" said Terry Higgins, CCG's Director of Research and Development.
"IBM and CCG are both committed to helping chemical researchers use information technology to speed drug discovery and gain competitive advantage," said Anne-Marie Derouault, Director, Alliances and Distribution Channel Management, IBM Life Sciences. "The integration of our leading technologies, including CCG's Molecular Operating Environment and IBM's DB2 database, creates an end-to-end solution that can help transform the discovery process today and deliver the power, performance and scalability needed for future research requirements."
CCG will showcase MOE operating on IBM platforms in booth #1211 at the American Chemical Society National Exposition in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, from March 24 to 26.

The roof is the largest green roof in Minnesota and, at the time of design, the fifth largest green roof in the United States.
The Target Center is also the first arena in North America to install a green roof.
It is estimated the green roof will capture one million gallons of stormwater annually, preventing drainage into the Mississippi River.

"You don't know what you have until it's gone."
Cliche or adage? All depends on the context. Any pithy statement takes on a cliche connotation when impetuously prated.
But, assign the phrase to a situation of significant value, and the once cliche becomes a maxim.
For me I did not have to lose what I value; instead, I almost loss. If you almost lose your life; the life of another; or your marriage, suddenly: "You don't know what you have until it's almost gone."
Now I am grateful– but I fear time– because time always erodes the grateful into cliche and once again we await the maxim to come.
Sincerely and ever truly yours,

Lessons Learned
Today the National Journal published a list of salaries for the 403 White House staffers. Here are the four most overpaid:
Deborah Nirmala Misir Ethics Advisor $114,688 Erica M. Dornburg Ethics Advisor $100,547 Stuart Baker Director for Lessons Learned $106,641 Melissa M. Carson Director of Fact Checking $46,500
And yes, there is a White House Director for Lessons Learned. We aren't making this up.
Do you think the Director of Lessons Learned learned that they ought to fire the fact checker? You get what you pay for I guess.
Well Rahm Emanuel took the ball and ran with it:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) released the following statement in advance of delivery on the House floor:
"Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about how we spend the people's money.
"Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a 'White House Director of Lessons Learned'?
"Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of the lessons this White House should have learned by now.
"Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say you are going to war without enough troops, you're going to war without enough troops.
"Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina relief, it's time to demand a little accountability.
"Lesson 3: When you've 'turned the corner' in Iraq more times than Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles.
"Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5 hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading to New Orleans.
"I would also ask the President why we're paying for two 'Ethics Advisors' and a 'Director of Fact Checking.'
"They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time than the President.
"Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony."
Good stuff.

Toast Wristwarmers
I knit these over the past few days. I was looking for a quick satisfying knit for myself. Often, I make smaller wrist warmers with buttons but was looking for something longer that would work as sleeves. I had been wanting to try the mohair ones in One Skein for years but wasn't sure how I would feel about the mohair.
I used Malabrigo yarn for these and they turned out very soft and lovely.
I based them on this pattern and used size 9 double pointed needles.
Oh, by the way, I did learn magic loop following the Knit Witch's tutorial on You Tube but, I wanted the double points for this project because sometimes I like them and we can get along and be friends.
Yes, I changed the photo.

Ticked Off!
We did it! We are number one! Pennsylvania tops the list! Blacklegged ticks have determined that Pennsylvania is our nation's most livable state. A recent study revealed that blacklegged ticks, or "deer ticks," have been found in all of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. But cancel the balloons and parade, these meddlesome neighbors often play host to a bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. Infection with Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease which is an inflammatory condition marked by fever, headache, body aches and often a rash. If left undiagnosed, it can lead to arthritis and neurologic or cardiac disorders. The bad news is that because of our blacklegged neighbors, PA currently leads the country in new, confirmed cases of Lyme disease. Yikes! The good news is that Lyme is preventable and treatable. Though Lyme disease is admittedly complicated and in many ways poorly understood, here are the absolute essentials:
- Inspect daily for ticks, especially in those "hard to reach" spots; may require some assistance.
- If tick is found attached, carefully remove with tweezers immediately. For practical purposes, you can assume it is a blacklegged tick. All current evidence supports that it takes longer than 24 hours of attachment for the bacteria causing Lyme disease to transmit to you.
- If uncertain as to timing, see a medical provider to consider if it is appropriate to initiate Lyme prophylaxis. A one time, 200mg dose of Doxycycline, if given within 72 hours of tick removal, has been shown to be effective in preventing infection. Doxycycline is only appropriate if 8 years old and older. If allergic to Doxycycline or if under 8 years old, you should observe closely for any signs of infection.
- As many of the patients who develop Lyme disease were unaware of ever having been host to a tick, it is essential that you see a medical provider immediately if you develop symptoms suggestive of Lyme. This includes any unusual rash, whether it has the typical "bull's eye" appearance or not. The Lyme rash can take many forms and even involve multiple locations simultaneously. As the rash is estimated to be present in less than 70% of cases, any symptoms of fever, HA and body aches that are otherwise without clear explanation should prompt evaluation with a medical provider.
- Short of developing obvious signs and symptoms, diagnosis can be elusive. This is in part related to the fact that it can take 4-6 weeks after infection for your body to make a detectable number of antibodies to the Borrelia burgdorferi. Initial testing involves looking for these antibodies. Thus, treatment should always be initiated if infection suspected.
- Again, Lyme disease is an inflammatory condition caused by a bacterial infection. This bacterial infection is treatable with antibiotics. The longer the delay in diagnosis of the infection, the increased likelihood of complications related to the associated inflammation. Treatment usually involves oral antibiotics (Doxycycline, Amoxicillin or Cefuroxime) for 21 days. IV antibiotics are appropriate if oral treatment failure or in the case of neurologic or cardiac disease.
- Bottom line: If in doubt, check it out!

Imagine being camp-ready in three minutes
GOING camping is always fun... once you get there and go through the set up.
Some people have it down to down-pat, complete with dish washing station.
Others spend most of the set up digging around for poles, buying the poles you forgot to pack and adjusting the ropes to get their camp-site just right.
Imagine being camp-ready in just three minutes, tent, kitchen, beds and all.
Trackabout Off Road Campers have released a new style touring tent on their camper trailers where additional poles are not required in the set-up process.
The awning aluminium twist lock poles interlock and store against the tent when packed down, making it perhaps one of the fastest set-ups for a camper trailer in Australia.
The Trackabout camper is also fitted out with a large aluminium kitchen, 60L fridge, deep cycle batteries, organised storage and a queen size bed.
View the Trackabout Campers range at the 2017 Mackay Home Show and Caravan, Camping Expo at Mackay Showgrounds on May 19-21.

Ben Harper is an American musician, known for his success as an artist, instrumental skills and social activism. He was born on October 28, 1969 as Benjamin Chase Harper to Leonard and Ellen-Chase Verdries in Pomona, California. His father was African American and his mother was Jewish. He came from a musical family which influenced him throughout his life. His father was a percussionist, his mother was a guitarist and singer and his maternal grandparents established a music store by the name of "The Folk Music Center and Museum". Harper learned to play guitar at an early age and was initially attracted to hip-hop but soon turned to blues music in grand family tradition. As a child, Harper attended a concert by reggae legend Bob Marley which helped to define his tastes to a great extent.
Harper had his first stage appearance at the age of 12 and soon began to play the slide guitar in the style of American blues singer Robert Johnson. He then toured with Grammy Award winning blues musician Taj Mahal, and appeared on his 1990 album "Follow the Drinking Gourd". Another collaboration in 1992, this time with Tom Freund, led to the 1992 album "Pleasure and Pain". Harper's own debut album was released in 1994, after he secured a record deal with Virgin Records. It was titled "Welcome to the Cruel World" and was followed by his second album "Fight For Your Mind" in 1995.
Harper was known for his socially conscious music. For instance, his first album "Welcome to the Cruel World" featured a track called "Like A King" which was a reference to both, Martin Luther King Jr. and Rondey King, who was beaten up by the police in a racially motivated incident. Another song on the album, "I Rise" had lyrics adapted from renowned African American author Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise". His second album also contained socio-political messages and he often spoke against issues like racial prejudice. He also participated in the "Vote For Change" concert in 2004 to motivate people to vote in the 2004 U.S. Presidential Elections. He is also part of the No Nukes group which is an organization that speaks against expansion of nuclear power.
Harper has released a number of acclaimed albums over his career including "The Will to Live", "Burn to Shine", "Diamonds On the Inside", "There Will Be a Light", "Both Sides of the Gun", "Give Till It's Gone" and "Get Up!". He has won three Grammy Awards for "Best Pop Instrumental Performance" and "Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album" in 2005 and "Best Blues Album" in 2014. He is renowned internationally, perhaps more so abroad than at home. His albums and tours are vastly successful in European countries such as France, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. He was even named French Rolling Stone magazine's "Artist of the Year" in 2003. He also has a huge fan following in Australia and New Zealand.
Harper is a prominent philanthropist and contributes to nonprofit organizations such as "Little Kids Rock" which works to rejuvenate musical education in poorly funded U.S. public schools. He was first married in 1996 to a woman named Joanna with whom he has 2 children. the couple divorced in 2001 after which he married actress Laura Den in 2005. The couple has two children together. The marriage ended in 2013 when their divorce was finalized.

The Belton City Council is seeking public input regarding the City Charter, which was adopted in May 2005, and includes a provision stipulating that the Charter be reviewed by a committee at least once every 10 years. At its meeting on June 9, the Council took on the responsibility to serve as the initial review committee, reserving the option of designating a citizens committee, if warranted.
The Charter is a city's legal framework, establishing form of government, authority, major departments, and outlining other general provisions. Major changes in Belton's 2005 Charter review process resulted in direct election of the Mayor, establishment of an Ethics Commission, reorganization and simplification of the Charter, and reliance on State law changes over time to reduce the need to amend the Charter.
The 2005 Charter has served Belton well, with few identified issues needing attention. During the review period, if issues emerge that rise to the level of potential Charter amendments, a November election would be scheduled to present to voters. Potential amendments must be determined by August 24, 2015 for the City to schedule a November 3, 2015 general election ballot proposition.
The Charter (see link below) consists of the following 13 Articles:
1. Incorporation, Form of Government and Powers
2. Boundaries
3. City Council
4. Authority and Limitations of City Council
5. Elections
6. Initiative, Referendum and Recall
7. Administrative Services
8. Finance
9. Revenue and Taxation
10. Planning and Development
11. Public Utilities, Franchises and Contract
12. Ethics and Conflicts
13. General Provisions
Belton residents are invited to provide input on the Charter until July 9. Please send responses to Public Information Officer Paul Romer, email@example.com, City Manager Sam Listi, firstname.lastname@example.com, or any member of the Belton City Council:
-- Mayor Marion Grayson, firstname.lastname@example.com
-- Mayor Pro Tem David K. Leigh, email@example.com
-- Councilmember Craig Pearson, email@example.com
-- Councilmember Dan Kirkley, email@example.com

While a military response from the U.S. or Europe is unlikely, there are plenty of other responses that should be immediately considred by Georgia's allies to the West. David Clark of the Guardian offers three clear punitive measures for Russia's strong handed response: No compromise on Georgian membership in NATO, revoking Russia's privileged membership in the G8, and withdrawing Russia's planned host-status for the Winter Olympics in 2014 at Sochi. These measures would make clear that Russia cannot enjoy the perks of the international community while its leaders thumb their nose at international law and human rights.
Sceptics within Nato, like Germany, will see the conflict as evidence that Georgia is an unreliable partner best kept at arm's length. This is entirely the wrong way of looking at it. Georgia's security concerns are real, and Russia is the cause. The onus should therefore be on Russia to reduce the security fears that drive the desire for Nato membership by withdrawing unwanted troops and becoming part of a political solution to the frozen conflicts. If it will not do this, it has to accept the consequences.
...As so often with bullies, the Russian government's behaviour disguises deep insecurity and a craving for respect. This makes it more susceptible to our opinions than we often think. Further aggressive steps against Georgia would certainly be a reason to reconsider whether Russia should continue to enjoy the prestige that comes with membership of the G8.
Another possible response ties in nicely with our current Olympic obsession. Russia is due to host the Winter Olympics in 2014 at Sochi and hopes to use the event, like the Chinese, as an expression of its power on the world stage. There would be very good grounds for asking the International Olympic Committee to consider whether a country that was actively working to dismember a neighbour only a few kilometres from Sochi was an adequate standard-bearer for the Olympic ideal."

Working with Builders
We thrive in new custom homes. Not only because of the quality of our work, but we also have had years of experience working with builders and we strive for what they love. We're not simply a water treatment dealer, or a subcontractor for that matter; we are trade contractors.
Three major points that give us an edge when working with builders:
Scheduling on your time
We understand that the building process is series of steps, and timelines are incredibly important to make sure those steps are executed precisely. We will come in at the beginning of the building process and perform the pre plumb for the purified lines and work with your electrician and plumber to make sure we are all on the same mindset. When ready, we will return to set the equipment, rack, tanks, and perform startup.
You cannot have excellent customer service without clear communication; and we strive for excellent customer service. We will work with you through situations as they arise. We know that building a home can often be a delicate process and sometimes the unexpected does happen. From the transition of sales to installation to service, we promise a clear understanding and confidence in our process.
We approach every job with excellence and experience, building a reputation for quality work and customer service. As we work with our customers, we strive to build a relationship of dependability and trust. We work with many highly-respected building contractors, and we provide high quality, beautiful, custom turnkey systems time and time again.
Once you experience integrated water purification throughout your home, you'll never want to go back.
We always recommend PerfectWater to our customers. We know through the years of working together that our customers will be treated in a professional manner. They do what they say and have creative value oriented solutions for our customers.
PerfectWater is a wonderful company to work with. We have utilized their services in various custom homes.
Their team is always professional, personal, and thorough. They go above and beyond and never fail our expectations.Their quality service and product is refreshing, and our clients are never disappointed.
As a high-end custom homebuilder, I have requests for water filtration systems in homes, and those requests seem to be picking up. I always work with PerfectWater when a client requests water filtration. I appreciate that I'm able to set up a meeting between my clients and PerfectWater, and rely on them to present their products with professionalism and incredible expertise.

Okay, so as I am typing this the very poor weather man from the Weather Channel (yes, the man from the Weather Channel is here in Duluth) is reporting live from Canal Park on our impending blizzard that is going to bring upwards of 14 inches of snow, 50 mile an hour winds, and 20-40 below windshields. Only I feel so bad for him because I hate to say it, but the poor guy is not going to make it. That L.L. Bean jacket and beanie is not going to do anything for him I'm afraid. I don't care what L.L. Bean says on their products, nothing can keep you warm enough for a Duluth blizzard. So to keep in the spirit of it all, I am playing James Horner's Perfect Storm soundtrack today and enjoying every bit of it. The sky is nearly black as the storm comes rolling in. We anticipated being snowed in for a few days so Mom went to the store last night and stocked up on a few items, like tiolet paper, oatmeal, candles, and milk. Oh and then I went to pick up a few movies and chips and soda for a party because over at my house we celebrate storms like there is a celebrity coming to town, almost as exciting when Renee Zelweger and Goerge Clooney came to town to promote their football film that they did. So here goes! It will be a big one! YAY!

Hello! Do you ever feel like this? You've subscribed to a newsletter, but once it arrives in your inbox you don't have time to read it. Newsletters are the first to go under in the daily flood of emails, so once a year we afford ourselves the luxury of publishing a print magazine. Today we launch the fourth edition of SHOWBIZ CULTURE (our not-too-serious motto), in which we feature our projects and the people we work with, as well as exploring the topics that interest us.
Do you ever feel like this? You've subscribed to a newsletter, but once it arrives in your inbox you don't have time to read it. Newsletters are the first to go under in the daily flood of emails, so once a year we afford ourselves the luxury of publishing a print magazine. We launched today the fourth edition of SHOWBIZ CULTURE (our not-too-serious motto). It features our projects and the people we work with, as well as exploring the topics that interest us.
You can read the new issue here, and the printed magazine is on its way to everyone on our subscription list (which you can register for here).
We start by looking back a century to the events that shaped the politics of the 20th century, including a glimpse at life in 1917 through archive photos selected by Retronaut Wolfgang Wild. From there, we travel to Egypt to discover Howard Carter as he optimistically enters the Valley of the Kings to search for Tutankhamun's tomb. There's also the chance to take an early look at Spanish producer Musealia's new exhibition "Auschwitz", made in partnership with the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. Historian Guido Knopp interviews the curator, Robert Jan van Pelt, and we learn about how a group of young German journalists have been meeting Holocaust survivors and recording their accounts using Snapchat.
This issue includes an entire section devoted to street art, with introductions to some of the artists featured in our new "Magic City" exhibition. There's the chance to meet Daze, a New York Street artist that inspired a character in hit Netflix show "The Get Down", by visionary director Baz Luhrmann, and also see pieces by Tristan Eaton and Jordan Seiler. Butterfly Art News talks all things Banksy with "Saving Banksy" director Colin Day, and there's also a "Magic City" radio play by Annie Nocenti, about thoughts of a phone booth that"s seen it all and is about to be hauled away. And last, but not least, Brooklyn Street Art chooses the best artists, exhibitions, festivals, books, movies and cities to keep an eye on.
Elsewhere in the magazine we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Touring Exhibitions Meeting (TEM) by revisiting past gatherings, and speaking with Nick Gray about the origins of the Museum Hack – and 'hacking' this year's conference. Christian Omodeo explores how culture has helped revive western economies, and Stephanie Saldaña learns what refugees and migrants from Syria and Iraq have lost by asking what they've carried with them – both tangible and intangible – from home.
But wait there's more! We're also introducing one of our major new projects: Tutankhamun Centennium. Over the years leading up to the 2022 centennial of the discovery of the pharaoh's tomb, we'll be adapting our touring Tutankhamun exhibitions to reflect a variety of themes, launching a special dedicated website and organising events around the world. If you'd like to be involved, why not contact us?
Finally, we look forward to seeing you at AAM in St. Louis from May 7 – 10 (where conference delegates will be able to read print versions of the magazine before anyone else). And, of course, we would be delighted to have you as a delegate at TEM 2017 in Munich. If you'd like to attend, you can find all the information you need on the conference website: touringexhibitions.org
The early bird deadline is looming – discounted tickets are available until May 31st!
We hope you enjoy the magazine!
All the best,
Christoph Scholz

41% of Health Data Breaches Stem from Unintended Disclosure
The leading cause of health data breaches in 2017 so far are from unintended disclosure, followed by hacking or malware.
Source: Thinkstock
- Unintended data disclosure, such as emails containing PHI sent to the wrong recipient or servers left publicly accessible, accounted for 41 percent of reported health data breaches the first nine months in 2017, according to research from Beazley.
The second most common issue was from hacking or malware incidents (19 percent), followed by insider incidents (15 percent), and physical loss (8 percent).
Organizations need to understand the underlying causes of data breaches so necessary mitigation and management techniques can be put in place, Beazley Breach Response Services Global Head Katherine Keefe explained.
"All organizations face the reality that data breaches have become inevitable," Keefe said in a statement. "And the stakes are high: they hold personal data on trust for customers, employees and patients. The volume of protected health information maintained by healthcare organizations and the digitization of electronic health records have increased the vulnerability for large breaches."
There has also been a dramatic increase in social engineering attacks, the Beazley Breach Insights report showed. Social engineering attacks increased nine-fold, and largely stemmed from fraudulent instruction incidents and W-2 scams.
"Organizations can combat social engineering attacks by training employees to better recognize phishing emails, encouraging that wire transfer requests be verified by phone if new bank account information is provided, and implementing two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized users from using stolen credentials to log into email remotely," report authors explained.
Unintended disclosure was also the leading cause of reported incidents in 2016, with hacking or malware incidents rounding out the second spot. The same trend occurred in 2015, but there was not as far of a gap, as approximately one-third of incidents stemmed from unintended disclosure and about 27 percent were caused by hacking or malware.

Citing data from OCR HIPAA settlements, report authors explained that agreements average $1.8 million. There were 13 resolution agreements made in 2016, and there have so far been nine in 2017.
Conducting regular security risk assessments, updating policies and procedures, and ensuring business associate agreements are in place and current are some of the top takeaways from the OCR settlements, researchers maintained.
Along with the potential costs from an OCR investigation following a data breach, healthcare organizations have to deal with the costs associated with compromised health records.
Healthcare data breaches cost organizations $380 per record, according to the 2017 Cost of a Data Breach Study: Global Overview. That cost is also more than 2.5 times the global average across industries at $141 per record.
Sponsored by IBM Security and conducted by Ponemon Institute, the Cost of a Data Breach study also found that US data breaches cost companies an average of $225 per compromised record. The total average organizational cost of data breach also reached a new record at $7.35 million.
Ponemon and IBM found that 52 percent of US data breaches were caused by malicious or criminal attacks, while human error and system glitches each accounting for 24 percent.
Malicious or criminal attacks were also the most costly, having an average per capita data breach cost of $244, the report found. System glitches or human error had per capita costs at $209 and $200, respectively.
"Data breaches and the implications associated continue to be an unfortunate reality for today's businesses," Ponemon Institute Chairman and Founder Dr. Larry Ponemon said in a statement. "Year-over-year we see the tremendous cost burden that organizations face following a data breach."
"Details from the report illustrate factors that impact the cost of a data breach, and as part of an organization's overall security strategy, they should consider these factors as they determine overall security strategy and ongoing investments in technology and services."

I received an email the other day in response to a blog post I'd written, asking me to try out a tool that helps me organise my inbox. Being a fan of anything that helps me manage my tasks I decided to investigate it further.
The email showed a really nice picture of an inbox organised as a visual board (I won't call it a Kanban board).
Given some of us have treated our inbox as our TODO lists, this didn't seem like a bad idea. Away I went to the site to try out it.
First thing I noticed was a nice big red button saying it's free. Hmm, free to try or free forever?
Before even downloading I tried to look for pricing. Nothing there. Hmm.
So if I'm not paying for the product, then like many other services, I guess I am the product. So let's take a look at their Privacy Policy.
And bingo. Like many other services, what I do is used by them and all the partners they use for remarketing services. While I was somewhat uncomfortable with them accessing my Gmail account, their privacy policy was a dealbreaker.
Looking for sustainable models
To be clear, I'm not taking a dig at this service in particular. For some time now I've been overly cautious of the products I'm using and if there is an option to pay, then I do.
The practice of being the product is all too common. Every day we're selling our private data to companies - how we work, what we eat, what we drink, when we work out, when we don't. They have it all. We're paying one way or another for the things we're using. And when it's with our data, we're putting all our trust in that they not only don't misuse it, even if that means bombarding us with unwanted ads, but that they keep it safe and secure.
We pay with our privacy, while companies hope that with all this data they can be profitable. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to always be the case.
Now, while we as software developers should have a role in protecting not only our own privacy but that of others, this isn't just about privacy, but about creating a business model that is sustainable in the long run. A model that provides a better service for all involved.
As Josh Pigford recently pointed out (recommend you read the entire thread):
"You know, free is always better than paid."— Josh Pigford (@Shpigford) July 10, 2017
I actually know the exact opposite to be true.
Free is not always better than paid.

Google Ad Grants changes for NFPs: Here's how to get ahead of the competition
The Google Grants program, which offers eligible NFPs (Not For Profits) a $10,000 (USD) free advertising spend on AdWords, has recently updated its policies – raising the requirements to maintain Google Grand funding.
This has been an eye-opener for many NFPs, who are now at risk of losing their $120,000/Year in Google Grants funding – and even having their accounts deactivated.
What are the changes?
- Google Ad Grant accounts must now maintain a minimum click-through rate (CTR) of 5% at the account level, or else risk account deactivation. Failing to meet the 5% CTR for one-month results in a warning, but failing for two months in a row will result in instant deactivation.
- Bidding on single word keywords (in most cases) is now prohibited.
If your campaigns heavily relied on single word keywords in the past, their performance will likely suffer. Single words like 'donation' or 'charity' don't actually give much of an idea of what a user wants. While terms like this used to be used to cast a broad net to attract visitors, Google doesn't want this – they want to lead users to exactly what they're looking for. Of course, the point is to stop people from bidding on irrelevant keywords – if your organisation's name is a single word, fear not, that won't be penalised.
- All campaigns must now have a minimum of 2 ad groups with at least 2 live ads.
This has always been good practice, but now Google is enforcing it. This is a great incentive to improve the relevance of your ads, if you haven't already met this criteria.
- All Campaigns must now include geotargeting.
This isn't all bad news, but is just about enforcing good practice. In forcing NFPs to target by location, Google is trying to encourage NFPs to focus on getting more relevant clicks.
- All keywords must keep keyword quality scores above 2.
This isn't a huge imposition, however. With an ad score this low, it's likely that these ads wouldn't be showing up in the first place. As long as you're filling out all the needed sections of your AdWords ads, and as long as you're not trying to rank for another brand's audience, you'll almost definitely be in the clear.
- It'll now be more difficult to bid for branded keywords other than your own.
A lot of NFPs used their excess budget to bid on competing brand's names, in order to catch their competitors audience. Because Google wants to bring people to the sites they're looking for as effectively as possible, this'll no longer be a viable strategy.
However, the good news is that your account won't be reviewed until it is 90 days old, so if you've just started using AdWords, you've got more time to respond.

I decided a few months ago to upgrade our domestic hot water to a hybrid heat pump water heater. We will be buying this device soon. We won't need to burn propane to serve our hot water needs. This new hot water system will save us significantly on our energy needs. Eventually we will hook this into a solar system as well and to offset our energy useage.
Meanwhile we have added a large amount of insulation to our cellar to close gaps in the foundation of our over 100 year old farm house. We will also be super insulating the attic.

The above pictures (on top) are a few of the many pictures placed in the hallways of my school that I teach at. I am excited to celebrate this month for myself, with my students, co-workers, friends, family and more importantly my daughter. The month of February isn't the only month we should spend celebrating and discussing Black culture, and the important people and events that has helped paved the way for Black people, however, it is the month I love to use to provide my students with facts about events and people in Black history. The picture the above (on the bottom), is one of the homework's I've made this month so far for my students Math homework. This homework provided a fact about Madame CJ Walker, a civil rights activist, who was the first African American women to become a self-made billionaire from her specialized hair products. Working in a school with predominately black students, it is important to me that my students are full aware of their very own potential, as well as, aware of the many Black people in our history who have proven we can be POWERFUL!
How are you celebrating Black history Month, this month?

Here's a selection of our latest press releases
There were winning celebrations for hundreds of the race goers who attended the Gold Cup Day at Cheltenham Festival recently, but for four lucky visitors, they were winners before they even set foot through the racecourse gates.
Tracey Coleman and Michael Ford both won a pair of tickets to the prestigious event after entering a prize draw with Bovis Homes, which has its Furlong Rise location situated just a short walk from the racecourse. And the day was made even more magical for Michael and his wife, as they were also celebrating their 33rd wedding anniversary and were thrilled to receive the news that they had won.
"We were absolutely delighted to receive the call to let us know we were the lucky winners," says Michael. "When we visited Furlong Rise a couple of weeks ago we were blown away by how beautiful the homes were and the location is perfect. We are hoping to relocate over to Cheltenham from Barnwood in the near future and we could certainly see ourselves settling down in a Bovis Home. To be attending Gold Cup Day on our wedding anniversary is fantastic and definitely beats the quiet lunch we had planned in a ... more

In January, Transport Minister Andrew Jones, announced £64m will go towards encouraging people to cycle and walk, supporting local projects over the next three years. It forms part of a wider government package of more than £300m to boost walking and cycling during the current parliament. Residents at Kingsmere in Bicester are ahead of the game as Countryside Properties (Bicester) Ltd has already taken several steps towards ensuring that the development is well-connected for sustainable travel options.
Two railway stations within walking distance of Kingsmere ensure that getting to London, Oxford or Birmingham is easy. A huge network of newly created cycle ways in and around Kingsmere and Bicester town centre also mean that those looking to leave their cars at home can do so in safety. There are also two bus services which serve the site, taking residents to Bicester Town centre and the heart of Oxford.
Significant improvements have been made to the bus services and new train services to Bicester Village Station and Bicester North Railway Station has made the town more connected than ever. Now that these are largely complete, new travel information is being provided to all Kingsmere residents, who can also take advantage of free trial bus and rail tickets from partners Stagecoach and Ch... more

The U Grok It SDK for Windows enables easy integration of RFID functionality into a Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 app (currently Intel platforms only).
The SDK is built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017. it can also be used with Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2013, provided you include the Visual Studio 2015 runtime DLLs, which are included in the SDK.
Downloading and Installation
The contents of UGrokItWindowsSdk.zip are:
The APIDemo application demonstrates use of the API. To open ApiDemo, go into the ApiDemo folder in the SDK and open the ApiDemo.csproj file.
For testing compatibility with Windows devices that do not have Visual Studio installed, it is useful to have a stand-alone version of ApiDemo. This can be downloaded here (built with SDK 1.16.13) This ZIP file has sub-directories for various builds (Debug/Release, Win32/x64, VS2017/VS2013). Run the ApiDemo.exe file within any of these sub-directories.
To integrate the U Grok It API into an existing app in Visual Studio:
- Unzip the SDK (creates a UGrokItWindowsSdk folder)
- Copy the contents of the dll/Debug folder from the SDK into your application
- Add a reference to UGrokItApi.dll and enable UgiInternal.dll to be found during execution
There are several ways of doing this. The method described below works for both Debug and Release builds.
- In Visual Studio, select your application and to PROJECT>Add Reference, then click Browse, and select UGrokItApi.dll from the dll/Debug folder and add it.
- Edit the .csproj file in a text editor and change:
- Select the project node and do PROJECT>Properties and add a Post-build event:
copy $(ProjectDir)\dll\$(Configuration)\UgiInternal.dll $(ProjectDir)\bin\$(Configuration)
This copies UgiInternal.dll into the build directory where the .exe file is.
The API is accessed through the Ugi singleton object in the UGrokItApi namespace.
using UGrokItApi;
The singleton object must be explicitly created with the CreateSingleton. This is usually done in your application object:
public App() : base() { Ugi.CreateSingleton(); }
A production level app needs to do a few housekeeping functions:
- Region Setting
A new Grokker must be configured for the region of the world that it will operate in.
- Firmware Update
From time to time, we will release firmware updates for the Grokker.
Calling Ugi.CreateSingleton() as shown above will use standard UI built into the SDK for these functions.
If you want to customize this UI or if you want to be more restrictive about how and when firmware updates are done, you can pass your own configuration delegate object to Ugi.createSingleton(IUgiConfigurationDelegate configurationDelegate)
Communication with the grokker is done via the audio port. For an application that uses U Grok It functionality all the time, this can be done in your application object also:
public App() : base() { Ugi.CreateSingleton(); Ugi.Singleton().OpenConnection(); }
For an application that only uses U Grok It occasionally, the connection can be opened and closed at the appropriate points.
OpenConnection returns immediately, it does not wait for a connection to the grokker to actually be established. If a grokker is connected, the connection takes 400-500ms (just under half a second) for the connection sequence. Your app can get notification of connection state changes vis the ConnectionStateChanged delegate:
Ugi.Singleton().ConnectionStateChanged += ConnectionStateHandler;
The handler method looks like this:
void ConnectionStateHandler(Ugi.ConnectionStates state) { if (state == Ugi.ConnectionStates.Connected) { // Connection was established... } }
Usually a state changed method is not needed, using the Inventory methods described below takes care of this.
By default, the SDK tries to recognize the headphone audio devices, and if it can't, the default audio devices are used. This works well on most Windows devices, but not with a few Windows 8 laptops. You can prevent the SDK from trying to use the headphone audio devices by creating the singleton like this:
UgiDefaultConfigurationUi c = new UgiDefaultConfigurationUi(); c.UseHeadphoneAudioDevice = false; Ugi.CreateSingleton(c);
Finding RFID tags is accomplished by running inventory. Once inventory is started, the grokker continually looks for RFID tags and reports them back to the iOS device.
Starting inventory returns a UgiInventory object that holds the results of the inventory. The application can either save the UgiInventory object or can use Ugi.Singleton ().ActiveInventory to get to it.
UgiInventory does some useful aggregation of the raw data from the grokker and reports back to your application via an InventoryDelegate object. Inventory can be run either with a configuration built from one of the pre-defined inventory types or with a custom UgiRfidConfiguration object.
The application can tell the grokker to report all RFID tags it finds:
Ugi.Singleton().StartInventory(this, // delegate object UgiRfidConfiguration.ConfigWithInventoryType( UgiRfidConfiguration.InventoryTypes.LocateDistance));
Or the application can pass a specific tag to find:
UgiEpc epc = UgiEpc.FromString("35fffffff99c70a063405c48"); Ugi.Singleton().StartInventory(this, // delegate object UgiRfidConfiguration.ConfigWithInventoryType( UgiRfidConfiguration.InventoryTypes.LocateDistance), epc);
Or the application can pass an array of tags to find:
UgiEpc epc1 = UgiEpc.FromString("35fffffff99c70a063405c48"); UgiEpc epc2 = UgiEpc.FromString("35fffffff956734504747454"); Ugi.Singleton().StartInventory(this, // delegate object UgiRfidConfiguration.ConfigWithInventoryType( UgiRfidConfiguration.InventoryTypes.LocateDistance), new List
() { epc1, epc2});
Inventory runs until the application stops it.
Ugi.Singleton().ActiveInventory.StopInventory(() => { // code to run when inventory is completely stopped });
The inventory code reports back to the application via the inventory delegate object. The delegate object must implement the IUgiInventoryDelegate protocol:
public class MainActivity : Activity, IUgiInventoryDelegate
Only a subset of the inventory delegate methods are discussed here.
When a new tag is found, the delegate is notified via inventoryTagFound (the detailedPerReadData is nil unless the Grokker was told to return detailed per-read data).
public void InventoryTagFound(UgiTag tag, UgiDetailedPerReadData[] detailedPerReadData) { // tag was found for the first time }
The UgiTag object contains information about the tag including:
- Its EPC code
- The time the tag was first read, the time the tag was most recently read
- The total number of times this tag has been read
- A history of how many times this tags has been read in recent time intervals (the default being the number of reads per 500ms going back 10 seconds, but this is configurable)
When a tag is found again, the delegate is notified via inventoryTagSubsequentFinds (the detailedPerReadData is nil unless the Grokker was told to return detailed per-read data).
public void InventoryTagSubsequentFinds(UgiTag tag, int count, UgiDetailedPerReadData[] detailedPerReadData) { // tag found count more times }
When a tag is first found, has not been seen for a while (by default 10 seconds, but configurable), or is seen again after not being seen for awhile, the delegate is notified via:
public void InventoryTagChanged(UgiTag tag, bool firstFind) { if (firstFind) { // tag was found for the first time } else if (tag.IsVisible) { // tag was not visible, is now visible again } else { // tag is no longer visible } }
Usually the delegate either implements InventoryTagChanged, or implements InventoryTagFound (and sometimes InventoryTagSubsequentFinds).
The delegate can filter which tags are kept track of via:
public bool InventoryFilter(UgiEpc epc) { if (this tag should be ignored) { return true; } else { return false; } }
If this method returns true, the tag is ignored entirely; InventoryTagFound, InventoryTagSubsequentFinds and InventoryTagChanged are never called for it.
While inventory is running, the app can access the list of found tags via the tags property of the UgiInventory object. Usage is typically:
foreach (UgiTag tag in Ugi.Singleton().ActiveInventory.Tags) { // do something with tag }
Methods in UgiInventory allow tag access for reading, writing and locking. All of these functions work similarly.
While inventory is running, the app can program tags via:
UgiEpc oldEpc = UgiEpc.FromString("35fffffff99c70a063405c48"); UgiEpc newEpc = UgiEpc.FromString("35fffffff956734504747454"); Ugi.Singleton().ActiveInventory.ProgramTag(oldEpc, newEpc UgiInventory.NO_PASSWORD, (UgiTag tag, UgiInventory.TagAccessReturnValues result) => { if (result == UgiInventory.TagAccessReturnValues.Ok) { // tag programmed successfully } else { // tag programming was unsuccessful } });
Sometime after the ProgramTag method is called, the completion will be with the success or failure of the programming.
The UgiRfidConfiguration object holds the configuration to be used during inventory. Several pre-defined types can be used, defined in the UgiInventoryTypes enum. Values that can be configured include:
- Power level
Initial, minimum and maximum power levels can be set. If a range is provided (minimum != maximum), then the power level is varied over this range.
- Q value
Initial, minimum and maximum Q values can be set. If a range is provided (minimum != maximum), then the Q value is dynamically adjusted based on the number of tags in range
- Session
The inventory session (0, 1, 2, or 3)
- Power level and sensitivity for writing tags
The power level and sensitivity used when writing data to tags
- Sensitivity
The reader sensitivity
For more detailed information about RFID and configuration, see RFID Configuration
The SDK uses the Internet in a few cases, see SDK Internet Usage for details.
The SDK contains user visible strings for updating firmware, setting region of the world, and UI building blocks. It is localized into Spanish, French and German. If you are interested in localizations to other languages, contact us.

3. Dehradun to Nainital
The distance from Uttarakhand's capital to Nainital – one of the country's prettiest hill stations, is close to 275 KMs and a 5-7 hour drive by road. The state of Uttarakhand lies on the southern slope of the Himalayan Range, and is blessed with plenty of mountainous forest cover.
The route from Dehradun to Nainital is through National Highway 72 which connects Ambala to the holy city of Haridwar & National Highway 74, which connects Haridwar to Bareily in Uttar Pradesh.
There's plenty of nature's bounty to be devoured along the way – passing through the fabled Kumaon hillside. You will also pass countless ancient shrines including the famous Haridwar & Rishikesh temples, so if you have a religious inclination, this road-trip could well serve multiple purposes. Finally settle into Nainital – a beautiful lake city. Be sure to stay there for a couple of days at least before making your way back or trudge along further to Mussoorie – another pretty little hamlet nestled within the hills.
Another attraction along the way is the beautiful Jim Corbett National Park, which is a slight detour away from the route.

Are You Up To Date With The State Pension Rules?
Be aware of the new pension rules
A brand new state pension was introduced on 6 April 2016 as a result of a massive government shake-up of the UK pension system. The changes were designed to make the whole process easier to understand though it's still far from simple.
The government introduced a single-tier state pension with a 'full level' of £155.65 a week (£8,092 a year). The previous system, where you could pay full National Insurance and get additional state pension – or you decided to 'contract out' of doing this – was scrapped. And whereas previously you were entitled to a full pension after 30 years of NI contributions, it's now 35. To qualify at all, you need 10 years of NI payments.
Key differences
|How it's made up
|2 parts: basic pension + additional pension
|1 flat rate payment + any 'protected payments'
|Maximum weekly payout
|£119.30 basic (+ Avg £40 additional)
|£155.65 (£159.55 from April 6, 2017) + any 'protected payments'
|NI years needed for full rate
|NI years to qualify for min payment
The average state pension payment under the previous system was £130 a week compared to the new £159.55 from April 6, 2017. The big question is will those who qualified after April 2016 be better off under the new system? Some will – and others will be worse off. For example, in the period 2016-2020, some 51% of men who get the state pension for the first time will be better off, but 28% will be worse off, whilst 21% will get about the same.
New state pension winners
People in these groups will generally be better off under the new system:
- women, carers and the low paid who haven't built up an additional state pension
- self-employed people who didn't qualify for state second pension
- people who were contracted out and can access their private pensions at age 55
- workers contracted out who have time to build up years of full NI contributions.
New state pension losers
These groups will generally be worse off, or no better off, under the new system:
- people with less than 10 years of NI qualifying years
- people with more than 35 years' worth of full NI contributions
- high earners who won't be able to build up more additional state pension (ASP)
- younger employees who will no longer be able to build up ASP
- spouses, civil partners, widows and widowers who will no longer be able to claim or inherit a state pension based on a partner's NI contributions
- those already drawing the state pension won't be affected
Whilst these changes have been welcomed by many it's a source of constant frustration that the government keeps meddling with the pension system. While these new measures will likely remain in place for the foreseeable future there's no way of knowing if they'll be changed again. If I was a betting man I'd say the chance is highly likely.

Sandi McElravy's ninth grade English students at Keystone High School recently created public service announcements with a focus on bullying. Keystone participates in the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, so Mrs. McElravy and her students integrated those topics into their study of PSAs. After a quick lesson on making enhanced podcasts using the GarageBand software on their Macbooks, the ninth graders created sometimes poignant videos with anti-bullying messages. See samples of their work below.
