About #WLPC
Since beginning my career as a Wireless LAN Professional, I've wanted to create a gathering of people who love Wi-Fi where we could get together and "talk tech".
I wanted a conference FOR wireless LAN professionals BY wireless LAN Professionals.
This conference was created to allow us as peers to hang out for a few days and "talk shop" without the need for hype or pressure from salespeople. We refer to this conference around here and on twitter as #WLPC, and we have enjoyed seeing it evolve and grow over these past several years.
This is a "vendor neutral" conference that is focused on sharing knowledge, resources, and building relationships. While those other conferences are a lot of fun and have their place, we wanted something a little different.
Whether you were just "nominated" as the Wi-Fi guy in your company or you run a multi-million dollar vendor business you are welcome to join us. We come together for a few days of "going deep" on all things Wi-Fi. Keep reading below for all the details for #WLPC 2019 Prague.
Hope you can join us.

Managing Director Wireless LAN Professionals, Inc.

NOTE: You will only be able to attend ONE of these Boot Camps and space is limited, so please be sure to register right away to secure your spot.
Wireless Pentesting, Hacking, and Defence using Kali Linux Bootcamp
Instructor: Phil Morgan
Kali Linux is the go-to operating system for the would-be Pentester/Hacker. It is a great platform to also learn Linux, as many tools and features are pre-installed. This is the same Bootcamp we offered in WLPC USA, but it is now bigger, better and updated fresh from Black Hat/DEFCON 2019. This Bootcamp will be updated to the latest attacks and hacks available.
In this Bootcamp, we will introduce the student to Kali Linux and Wireless Pentesting, starting from scratch, moving through basic wireless attacks, right up to advanced wireless attacks. The student will learn about security Pentesting and Hacking wireless networks. Students will be given a working Kali Linux platform to use and take with them, they will also be shown how to build their own platform. We will discuss tools in Kali Linux designed for wireless that can be used to test network security and that can be used for defense. This is intended to be a Pentesting class for those interested in wireless and cybersecurity. This class is the all-in-one class that you have been looking for, to learn about CyberSecurity and Wireless. This class will be heavily hands-on focused, as well as providing appropriate theoretical material.
CWNA level wireless knowledge is assumed, but no security or other wireless experience is necessary for class attendees.
ECSE - Design
Instructor: Ferney Muñoz
Includes: Student course materials
The Ekahau Certified Survey Engineer (ECSE) course provides instructor-led classroom lectures and intensive hands- on labs on all aspects of Wi-Fi life cycle management.
This includes:
- Wireless LAN and radio frequency (RF) fundamentals
- Predictive designs
- Pre- and post-deployment site surveys
- Troubleshooting of Wi-Fi issues
- Spectrum (interference) analysis
- Reporting
ECSE - Troubleshooting
Instructor: Eddie Forero
Includes: WLAN Pi, cabling, Comfast NIC, and PoE injector (our big set for WLAN Pi) as well as laminated cards, and a 100+ Page color-printed lab guide
ECSE Troubleshooting boot camp offers many hands-on labs and real-world learning. The ECSE Troubleshooting is exactly what it sounds like: an ECSE course that focuses on troubleshooting Wi-Fi.
It will cover every aspect of the troubleshooting process, including investigating, measuring, validating, analyzing, interrogating, and managing. There's even a lab about how to ask the right questions, so you can learn how to quickly and efficiently get the right information to solve the problem.
On the purely technical side, the ECSE Troubleshooting will cover all of the places where things can go wrong on the network, ranging from the captive portal (ugh) to the Wi-Fi client device (and everything in-between).
You want labs? We got labs: over 10! And they're all over the place, using all kinds of different tools, including the WLANPi, Kismet, HORST, Bettercap, client profiler scripts, iPerf, ZAP, browser-based performance tools, Ekahau Capture + Ekahau Sidekick, and Ekahau Pro. Definitely Ekahau Pro. Of course Ekahau Pro!
The course will review the best tools out there, and how they fit into "free", "low-cost", and "professional" categories, so you can leave the class knowing exactly what you want in your wireless toolkit.
When the course is over, each student will have a ~100-page student manual, full of details and colorful lab exercises to take home as a resource. Oh, and you'll have a hugely respected, industry-recognized certification. And a whole new world of troubleshooting know-how (minor detail).
ECSE - Advanced
Instructor: Blake Krone
Includes: Sidekick labs, workflow optimization, ESS file hacking, Report templates
Requirements to Attend: ECSE is required to attend this boot camp and will be verified.
In this boot camp we will go deeper in areas not covered in the base ECSE and introduce you to the Ekahau Sidekick. Students will get hands on time with the new Ekahau Sidekick to understand new survey methodologies and how to get the most out of the technology.
We'll run through some advanced troubleshooting labs with the Sidekick as well to see the improvements in the RTFM.
Given that the class is in beautiful Prague we'll also be doing a GPS based survey looking at how you leverage GPS to increase efficiencies of large outdoor areas.
Once you have all this data in Ekahau you need to get it out of the program and into your customers or managements hands so we will develop custom report templates for each of your organizations. We'll take a look at all the various report templates tags available to you from Ekahau and how to use them in a report template to build an amazing report in no time.
Finally we'll take a look at how you can work with scripting and the Ekahau project files to do things that you can't in the UI but you need to for efficiencies and fixing things in the file like AP Names, BSSID collapsing, and more.

And you're getting some gear and some hands-on training in the process.
We'd like to announce this year's 'Deep Dive' sessions. These will be two 120-minute sessions – the first to do whatever prepatory work and laying foundational information and then the next day followed up with more hands-on work for getting deep into the subject.
Each Deep Dive has it's own 'kit' of gear that is included for each attendee. Yes – you are going to have to choose only ONE of these options. No mixing and matching of sessions – these are designed specifically to have the same attendees in both the first and second sessions and you'll only receive a single Kit in your attendee bag.
Your decision will need to be made at the time of registration to give us time to source and prepare all the kits. During registration, these Deep Dive sessions will be filled according to first come, first served. When you register, you might not be able to get your first choice. So register early to get the session that is top on your list.

This is the same Deep Dive we offered in WLPC USA, but it is now bigger, better and updated fresh from Black Hat/DEFCON 2019. This Deep Dive will be updated to the latest attacks and hacks available.
In this Deep Dive, we will introduce the student to Kali Linux and Wireless Pentesting. Attendees will be given a working Kali Linux platform to use and take away with them. We will discuss tools in Kali Linux designed for wireless that can be used to test network security and that can be used for defense. This is intended to be a Pentesting session using tools within Kali Linux for those interested in wireless and cybersecurity. This session will focus on using tools that can be used simply and quickly to get you up-and-running fast. The goal of this Deep Dive is to expose the attendees to Kali Linux, and for them to leave with a platform and sufficient skills to start Pentesting in the real-world. The aim is to give the attendee a skill set that they can build on.
This class will be heavily hands-on focused, as well as providing appropriate theoretical material.
CWNA level wireless knowledge is assumed, but no security or other wireless experience is necessary for class attendees."

Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is over active and produces too much thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is under active and produces very little thyroid hormones. Thyroid cancer is defined as condition in which the cells in the thyroid gland have become cancerous.
Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome
Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is defined as a condition of which
affected individuals have elevated serum thyroid hormone levels and
inappropriately normal or elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) but
are usually clinically euthyroid and require no treatment. Selective
pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) is characterized by
resistance in the pituitary gland but not in peripheral tissues(a).
E. Treatments
1. The table
Table. Suggested therapeutic approaches for resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) patients.
Drugs Untoward effects and limitations
TRIAC Effective in almost all patients
D-T4 Effective in almost all patients
T3 Production of daily peaks of very high T3 concentrations, which
contribute to maintain clinical hyperthyroidism
Bromocriptine Transient effect owing to TSH escape from inhibition
Sms analog Transient effect owing to TSH escape from inhibition
Corticosteroid Cause of severe inhibition of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function and cushingoid features
Antithyroid drugs Cause of further increase in TSH circulating level
with consequent increase of goiter size and to hyperplasia at pituitary
thyrotroph level
b-blockers Effects limited to b-adrenergic blockade. Propranolol
inhibits peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, causing a worsening of
tissue hypometabolic state. Cardiac selective compounds, such as
atenolol devoid of effect on peripheral T4 conversion, appear to be more
2. Limitation
According to the study by the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, the
thyroid hormone resistance syndromes are disorders in which the body's
tissues are resistant to the effects of thyroid hormone. Generalized
resistance to thyroid hormone (GRTH) is characterized by resistance in
the pituitary gland and in most or all of the peripheral tissues.
Affected individuals have elevated serum thyroid hormone levels and
inappropriately normal or elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) but
are usually clinically euthyroid and require no treatment. Selective
pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) is characterized by
resistance in the pituitary gland but not in peripheral tissues.
Patients have elevated serum thyroid hormone levels and normal or
elevated TSH levels and are clinically thyrotoxic. Therapy is usually
necessary, but current choices are not completely satisfactory.
Selective peripheral resistance to thyroid hormone (PerRTH) is
characterized by resistance in peripheral tissues but not in the
pituitary. The only patient thus far described had normal serum thyroid
hormone and TSH levels but was clinically hypothyroid and improved with
thyroid hormone administration. All of these disorders are probably more
common than is generally recognized and are often misdiagnosed and
inappropriately treated. GRTH, in most cases studied, results from a
mutation in the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene causing an amino acid
substitution in or a partial or complete deletion of the thyroid
hormone-binding domain of the receptor. The causes of PRTH and PerRTH
remain to be determined(32). Other studies indicated that in this age of
rapidly advancing knowledge, it is reasonable to expect that the not
too distant future will bring specific treatments for RTH. This will
probably not be in the form of gene therapy as the dominant expression
would require excision of the defective gene. The most simple genetic
approach, one within the realm of current technology, is the selection
of an oocyte from the affected mother that does not harbor the abnormal
allele for in vitro fertilization followed by implantation into the
donor. This insures a fetus without RTH but does not guarantee a normal
pregnancy and fetal development. The development of TH agonists and
antagonists that are TR-isoform specific would allow the stimulation or
blockade of specific tissue effects that are perturbed in a given
individual with RTH(33).

I'm a huge #Disney fan. So when the opportunity presented itself to speak at the #PRSASunshine District Conference in Orlando, I was happy to accept. I knew I'd get some time at Epcot, have the chance to share some insights with fellow PR practitioners, but what I didn't expect was the opportunity to listen to a true Disney insider share ideas on innovation and creativity.
Duncan Wardle is vice president of Walt Disney Co.'s Creative Inc. He describes Creative Inc. as (paraphrased): a group of creative ideation & innovation catalysts that look at things differently, bringing unique perspectives, approaches and insights that spark revolutionary thinking and big ideas. We work across the Disney organization as "creative ideation consultants" and "cultural change agents" that design engaging, collaborative forums that capture unlikely connections and produce new ideas.
So picture a typical ballroom setting, opening session, 175 people learning how to think differently, how to step out of their comfort zone and get to a creative idea that can be mutually agreed upon and implemented.Creativity: Habit of continually doing things in new ways for a positive difference in a work environment.
There were a few take-aways for me as it relates to establishing a safe place for brainstorming to happen.
He closed his session with a video that shows what happens when Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Ana, Elsa, Olaf, Cinderella, Buzz Lightyear and other Disney Characters magically surprise unsuspecting shoppers with their #Disneyside. Even if you're not a Disney fan, you gotta admit this is pretty awesome.

That is such an ignorant thing to say. It is always arrogant, privileged white guys hanging out? in a developed nation who lives in a world with the luxury of never seeing these diseases that say such idiotic things. Go to Africa and see first hand what "natural healthy immunity" looks like. Children die. Those that live are not often "stronger or healthier" as a result. Many are permanently disfigured or disabled. Get educated before you spout such naive nonsense. You just embarrass yourself.

KBL targets female consumers with new Cider beer
Wednesday September 11 2019
Beer maker Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) has launched a new brand of cider beer dubbed Sikera Apple as part of its plans to grow sales among female consumers.
It will retail at Sh150 for a 300ml bottle.
Its introduction comes after the launch of Tusker Cider in 2016. The brewer says it will continue to roll out a series of brands of cider beer.
KBL's managing director Jane Karuku said Sikera Apple cider targets consumers aged between 20 to 35 years.
"We realised they needed something else," she said.
Ms Joyce Kibe, head of innovation at KBL, said the product launch had been guided by its consumer research.
East Africa Breweries Limited, KBL's parent company, has in the past few years introduced new alcoholic brands in the region, seeking to grow and diversify its product portfolio.
The strategy comes at a time when the market is witnessing increasingly diverse and sophisticated products, partly brought by the entry of new players including distributors of global liquor manufacturers.
The Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm is betting on the new products to acquire new customers and lift sales in the coming years.

Ron Jolly of WTCM wondered why we didn't hear of any Lake Michigan whale sightings in July. As he put it, "Question is, why the delay? Global warming? Tea partiers? Nestle's Ice Mountain bottling plant?"
I responded, "Perhaps it was just a fluke. [Pause for groans.]
Fluke comes from an Old Norse word meaning flat. It was used to name a flat fish, probably the flounder. It was also a parasitic worm, so called because it resembled a flounder. In addition, it was also the name of a variety of kidney potato.
A second fluke was defined by Admiral Smyth as one of "the broad triangular plates of iron on each arm of the anchor, inside the bills or extreme points, which, having entered the ground, hold the ship." It was also the barbed head of a lance or arrow. From there, by analogy, it came to mean the two parts that constitute the large triangular tail of the whale.
A third fluke was a billiard term, a successful stroke made by accident or chance. Hence, fluke meaning a lucky stroke, an unexpected success, or a piece of good luck.

At long last and Christmas markets
Wow! I've managed to access the website........I am completely hopeless but it seems I've pressed the correct button.
Obviously loads has happened since the last news but at the moment we're busy getting ready for winter. The tups are out with the ewes, the bull has hopefully done his work and is ready to go home, the smaller pigs are inside for the winter and we have quite a few litters due throughout Dec/Jan. We have everything crossed that the hay and silage will last the winter, the dry summer meant we've made a lot less than usual but the grass has grown well in the mild autumn so we've still got grass for the animals to graze which is a big help.
All thoughts are on the preparation for the Christmas markets, we'll have our usual pork and lamb available alongside our Aberdeen Angus beef . We're happy to take orders in advance either via the website or on 07531160935. You will always receive a response so if you don't hear from us the message hasn't got through. We'll be at Newcastle 7th Dec and Hexham 8th, 15th and 22nd Dec.........hopefully see you there.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica is not on the market yet, but many fans and buyers are thrilled to see what is new on it. However, the manufacturer has decided to remain all interesting and attractive things, but to change those which could be interesting for the new generation of buyers, too.
There are high chances that the manufacturer will not change a lot when it comes to the exterior design of 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, remaining all those great things why we loved Pacifica at first place. It includes the same trapezoidal grille with thin grids and well incorporated front lights, to follow the specific shape of the grille. There is also LED line on the bottom instead of daylights. Below them is wide classic air intake and elegantly shaped chromatic line as a frame. The rear end has slightly rounded shape, with wide rear window and modernly designed rear lights. The list of colors will be improved, too.
2019 Chrysler Pacifica remains the same luxury in the cabin with few interesting improvements and changes. There will be found the same leather upholstery in combination with chrome and quality plastic made with dark red accents. However, in term of technology, there are things above the class, like five-inch center touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, USB and auxiliary lights, six-speaker sound system, remote locking and unlocking feature, eight-way power driver seats and many more. There is a wide enough cabin for five passengers, including extra space in the second row and dropping function for seats in a rear row for extra towing.
We are sure in many things, but an engine that will be placed under the hood of 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, unfortunately, not. However, as current model has a 3.6-liter V6 petrol engine, with perfectly matched nine-speed transmission system, there are high chances that the manufacturer will not change anything in this Pacifica in term of the engine strength. It could still produce 287 horsepower of strength and 262 pound-feet of torque and that will be enough for this size vehicle. However, other numbers are good, too, like 7.7 seconds increasing time and 22 mpg fuel consumption in combined driving.
2019 Chrysler Pacifica Release Date and Price
Even though there are many similar models on the market nowadays, 2019 Chrysler Pacifica surely goes much further in modernity and style. The price of $30,000 for the base model is acceptable for the car in this class, so we only should be patient now and wait for the first model to appear.

Frances Hardinge writes wonderfully imaginative, fantasy novels for YAs and has scooped 2 of the most prestigous book awards, the Branford Boase in 2006 and The Costa Book of the Year 2015 - only the second children's book to win the overall prize. Read on for more about this extraordinary author.
Frances Hardinge creates a brilliant sense of menace in this chillingly dark fairy story . Something sinister, beyond just getting wet, happens to Triss when she falls into the Grimmer. Something that causes her to change in all kinds of ways which her parents don't recognise. Triss can feel the changes - she is always hungry, her hair is full of leaves, her tears are like cobwebs and her sister is terrified of her - but she cannot understand why they are happening. Somehow, Triss has been taken over. She is now a changeling and she needs to search through the underworld of the city itself to find the truth. ~ Julia Eccleshare
Award-winning Frances Hardinge is spellbinding is this hugely entertaining and dramatic Victorian thriller. When Faith's father dies suddenly she knows she must try to find out exactly what he was hiding in the local caves she had recently visited with him. Discovering the extraordinary Lie Tree which thrives off hearing lies and, in turn, reveals secrets long kept hidden Faith begins to uncover a web of secrets and mysteries that will change her view of the world forever. Faith is a feisty heroine whose courage combined with a determination that girls can be brave and resolute leads to the exposure of much dishonesty and many deceptions. ~ Julia Eccleshare. WINNER of the 2015 COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR and Winner of the Costa Children's Book Award Shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2016. Winner of the UKLA 2016 Book Award in the 12 - 16 year old category. The Lie Tree is only the second children's book to take the overall Costa Book of the Year prize, and the first since Philip Pullman won with The Amber Spyglass in 2001. James Heneage, chair of the final judges, said: "Part horror, part detective, part historical, this is a fantastic story with great central characters and narrative tension. It's not only a fabulous children's book but a book that readers of all ages will love."
In a Nutshell: Intrigue and artisanal invention in an Alice in Wonderland world An endlessly inventive adventure through the twisting tunnels of a subterranean city that's sent reeling by the arrival of a girl like no other. Caverna is like no place ever imagined. It has passages so twisty they make a person go mad. Wines that make you forget. Perfumes that provoke trust. And there are dark cheese tunnels in which expert artisans create incredible delicacies, none more committed to the craft than Master Grandible: "the cheeses were Grandible's only friends and family, their scents and textures taking the place of conversation." Then the unexpected arrival of a girl shifts Grandible's life onto a different path, and sends Caverna into a spiral of fear and danger, for Neverfell is not like other girls. She's certainly not like others in Caverna, whose faces bear no expression until the Facesmiths teach them how to express anything. Neverfell is issued with a mask to hide her face, for it reveals emotions with terrifying transparency, and that way madness and murder lies…And so an utterly compelling tale of political intrigue, revolution and truths unfolds, with as many unexpected, complex twists as the tunnels of Caverna itself. Hardinge is a truly distinctive writer, from the mind-bogglingly unique concepts and worlds she conjures, to her pithily elegant language, and this is a jewel that defies convention, and sparkles at every turn. ~ Joanne Owen
Winner of the Branford Boase Prize 2006 Fly By Night is a wholly original fantasy peopled with a cast of unusual characters whose adventures unravel at a breathtaking pace. Mosca runs away from home with a manic goose called Saracen who can cause untold harm to her enemies and a tricky charlatan glorifying in the name of Eponymous Clent, having 'accidentally' set fire to her hated uncle's barn. Hounded as a criminal, she ricochets through a series of adventures meeting a huge cast of untrustworthy companions and getting involved in a bizarre espionage plot. Trying to unscramble any truths makes Mosca's story an exhilarating quest. ~ Julia Eccleshare Reading Guide available to download for this title.
A hugely imaginative and inventive fantasy, Gullstruck Island is the wonderful creation of a whole new world in which some of the strangest things happen. Arilou is a Lost, a special child who has the ability to mind-fly with the winds. It's a valuable but dangerous asset and Arilou hides a dangerous secret. Can she and her sister keep the secret and also keep themselves safe from their trackers on the island where volcanoes quarrel? ~ Julia Eccleshare

Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award.

Marshawn Lynch Is 'The Most Interesting Man' On Real Time With Bill Maher (Video)
Did you catch Beast Mode on Bill Maher's show last weekend? We know he does not speak much, esp. not to the press. But he made some memorable TV that night. Watch his segment. Speaking from the heart about President Trump, marijuana, and more.
Raiders running back and Beast Mode inspiration Marshawn Lynch responds to a Trumpian insult and addresses the NFL's restrictions on its players.

Jim Carrey Kicks Some 'Real Time' Wisdom While Proudly Sporting New Nike Kicks (Video)
I keep hearing this… "Canadians are so nice. Canadians are so nice."
They can be nice, because they have healthcare!
– Jim Carrey
Mic dropped!
Tell you what: Jim Carrey just did it big for Nike. Fancy a bit of bold activism with your current fashion? Carrey's your model then. Plopped right down on the set of "Real Time with Bill Maher" and showed the business world how Nike gets what amounts to a bold shoe commerical on ad-free HBO!
Actor and comedian Jim Carrey joins Bill and his guests – David Axelrod, Michelle Goldberg, and former Rep. Charlie Dent – on the Real Time panel.
– Real Time with Bill Maher
Shoe game dope. And par for the course when you get Jim Carrey on nowadays, you get wisdom mixed in with the whimsical. Great segment!

Activist/Reverend Jesse Jackson Says Former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick Should Have The Right To Play And Express Himself At The Same Time (Video)
Above: Bill Maher and Reverend Jackson have a real talk about what is at the essence of Kaep's stand (or kneel) in PEACEFUL protest… not 'standing' for the way Black people are expected to honor the flag & anthem of a country that does not honor them as it should. Kaep can't get a job in the league, and yet he broke no league or team rule that anyone can cite. Owners and major stakeholders, just in their feelings, are keeping him from his bag. Maybe they are 'teaching him a lesson' (maybe teaching US a lesson). Whatever they're doing smells, and Maher and Jackson talk about what it smells like.
He should have the right to express himself. He's not burning the flag, he's not hustling drugs to teammates, he's not shooting people with guns.
– Rev. Jesse Jackson
President Obama: The Full Interview on 'Real Time' With Bill Maher (Video)
Well, here it is… After about 8 years of cosigning, campaigning, contributing and cajoling… Bill Maher gets a sit-down with the President Of The United States aka POTUS aka President Barack Hussein Obama!
President Barack Obama sits down with Bill Maher on the eve of the election to discuss the issues Real Time viewers care about. Original air date: November 4, 2016.
Great conversation! Cannot say it was worth the wait because a lot of this talk has been said by the President and his administration all along. After watching, you'll probably agree that (while a studio appearance would have been awesome & appreciated) this choice of format and venue (directed Q&A at the White House with plenty of time to talk) was the best way to go. We get to hear all of what the President had to say in response to all of what Maher wanted to ask on his viewers' behalf.
You REALLY want to watch the ENTIRE interview, especially if you are an American (regardless of party, belief, etc.).
Bill Maher Tells The Real Truth About The So-Called 'Sharing Economy' On 'Real Time' (Video)
Really hope that you watch the dude Bill Maher from time to time. Biting commentary on the world today, mixed in with a lot of laughs – almost always at some dummy's expense. In the clip above (case in point), the "dummy" is a bunch of "dummies" …US (as in United States)! Our so-called American Dream has historically featured so much greed that things got ugly. It still does – ever-increasing costs of living that stifle even the most modest attempts of most to make a life for themselves. We used to labor under the illusion of work-hard-so-one-day-you-can-play-hard. Not anymore. What's worse is that we are no longer 'in the streets' trying to scare the 1% into some sense of fairness. Nope, we just got really smart about doing without; which in turn supports the rich's pursuit of happiness… all while giving up our pursuit of anything like it. We now have a 'sharing economy' – in which we share rides (Uber) and vacay living space (Airbnb) – built on a vast number of us choosing to fake it since we've given up on ever making it to the 'good life.' See above, where Bill takes aim at the 'darling' Olsen twins; who've gone from playing with dolls to playing their workforce. A billion-plus dollar empire; and you can't pay your interns even a little something?
The one thing we're not sharing are the profits. Somehow they forgot to create an app for that.
– Bill Maher

FDA is clarifying dosing recommendations and warnings for the antidepressant Celexa (citalopram hydrobromide). In August 2011, the agency issued a Drug Safety Communication stating that citalopram should no longer be used at doses greater than 40 milligrams (mg) per day because it could cause potentially dangerous abnormalities in the heart's electrical activity. Use of citalopram is discouraged at any dose for people with certain medical conditions. However, because some patients may lack viable alternatives, the citalopram label (the package insert that comes with a prescription medicine) has been changed to describe precautions they should take when using it. The revised label also describes lower doses that should be taken by people over 60 years old.
Risk: Changes in the electrical activity of the heart—specifically, prolongation of the QT interval, a measure of the heart's electrical activity— can lead to a risk of a potentially fatal abnormal heart rhythm called Torsades de Pointes. People at risk for developing QT prolongation include those with underlying heart conditions and those who tend to have low levels of potassium and magnesium in their blood.
- Do not stop taking citalopram or change your dose without talking to your health care professional. Stopping citalopram suddenly can cause withdrawal effects.
- If you are currently taking a citalopram dose greater than 40 mg per day, talk to your healthcare professional.
- Seek immediate care if you experience an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting while taking citalopram.
- If you are taking citalopram, your health care professional may occasionally order an electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) to monitor your heart rate and rhythm.
- Your health care professional may also order tests to check levels of potassium and magnesium in your blood.
- Read the Medication Guide for citalopram carefully and discuss any questions you have with your health care professional.
- Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report any side effects related to the use of these products to MedWatch.

Special Olympics Rhode Island East Providence
On the weekend of May 31st thru June 2nd, the Special Olympics team from East Providence competed in the Special Olympics of Rhode Island's 2019 State Summer Games, held on the campus of URI. Over 2,000 Athletes from all over the state (including 23 from East Providence) gather together for a weekend of competition including Aquatics, Bowling, Bicycling, Power lifting, Soccer, and Track & Field.
The weather for the weekend, which is always important, worked out. We just had a little rain during Saturday afternoon, but all of the outdoor competitions went on without any issues.
Opening ceremonies started this year with all of the teams marched into Keaney Gymnasium and are cheered on by their friends and family. Then they have the lighting of the Olympic Torch. This is always an inspirational moment.
Saturday was the second day of competition and there was also some additional outside activities provided by Special Olympics of Rhode Island. They had music, Zumba lessons, Yoga lessons, craft making activities, massage booths, and even a Llama petting Zoo. Then later that evening they have Closing ceremonies which was highlighted by the parade of over 550 motorcycles and an outdoor dance party. The theme of this year's closing ceremonies was NEON. So all of the athletes (as well as coaches and chaperones) were adorned with neon clothing and glow lights of all colors and styles. The motorcycle riders even joined the athletes as they took pictures, listened to the music, and even danced. Then the evening was topped off by a Lazer light show display.
It is so enjoyable to see the athletes dance and celebrate with the same athletes that they competed so hard against during the day's competition. The amount of sportsmanship, effort, and courage that is on display during the weekend is truly inspirational. Seeing the look on the athlete's faces, as family and friends cheer them on, is one you will not soon forget.

Before examining the issue of nuclear armed cruise missiles (NACMs) a quick global geopolitical overview is warranted. The short post-Cold War period of cooperation between the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (the P5 in common parlance) has given way to greater direct interstate contestation between them today. Consider the US-Russia confrontation over Ukraine and Syria, the US-China tensions in the South China Seas, not to mention the latent conflict between China and US allies like Japan.
Instead of using the Brics summit to push for greater economic growth and a greater global governance role, India sought to use it more for dealing with Pakistan
On September 29th, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the leader of the Hezb-e-Islami (Islamic Party) of Afghanistan, signed a peace agreement with the Afghan government, by prerecorded video, from an undisclosed location. In the nineteen-eighties, Hezb-e-Islami was the most extreme of the seven mujahideen parties recognized by Pakistan, and Hekmatyar's unblinking black eyes were framed by a black turban and full black beard. Three decades later, Hekmatyar, now sixty-nine, has a different look.

This article examines the main cooperation fields between China and the US in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the post-NATO period. In doing so, this study looks at the initiation of various bilateral joint projects as a distinctive turning point in China-US relations. It argues that existence of such bilateral projects and cooperation in this region does not only produce added value for the countries in question but also have the potential to enhance the mutual relations between China and US.
The 71st UN general assembly (UNGA) session, unlike the somnolent affairs of the past, literally began with a bang. A couple of explosions and the discovery of crude bombs in New York and New Jersey, barely a week after the 15th anniversary of 9/11, revived the spectre of terrorism. The swift arrest of Ahmad Khan Rahami just two days later and his reported trips to Pakistan and Afghanistan focused attention on the region as a base of transnational terrorism.
To the Editor:
A Former Taliban Minister Senses a Growing Demand for Afghan Peace" (The Saturday Profile, Sept. 10), about Agha Jan Motasim, a former Taliban leader, reports that "an early attempt to seek reconciliation" between the Taliban and the Afghan government "through the governor of Kandahar was rejected, so the Taliban had no other choice but to fight."
PRAGUE, For more than two decades, Pakistan has been accused of creating and sustaining the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan as one of the biggest and most ruthless surrogate forces in modern times.
A leading Western expert of the region, however, says the reality of this opaque relationship is much more complex.
Afghanistan expert Barnett Rubin speaks with Qadir Habib about the outlook for Central Asia.
Watch the full interview.
PRAGUE, Author and academic Barnett Rubin, a former senior adviser to the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, is still hopeful that Afghan elite consensus, international support, and regional cooperation will prevent the ship from sinking in Afghanistan amid escalating Taliban violence.
In this Lowy Institute Analysis, Richard Gowan reviews Australia's time as a non-permanent member of the Security Council. Gowan argues that while it has not changed the world, Australia has acquitted itself well, bringing extra rigour and professionalism to the Council's debates. It has carved out a niche on the issue of humanitarian access in the Syrian conflict, and solidified its reputation as a good international citizen and a serious country.
Since 2009, the Center on International Cooperation (CIC) at New York University has supported the development of regional approaches to Afghanistan by co-convening a series of structured dialogues among regional stakeholders. Since the initial meeting in June 2009 in Dubai, CIC has co-convened seven meetings including Istanbul (January 2010), Dubai (December 2010, April 2011), Oslo (June 2011), Dubai (September 2011), Oslo (September 2011), and Abu Dhabi (January 2013).
The five major emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) – have gained on the world stage and their presence is being felt in every multilateral institution. Among them India – the world's largest democracy with a burgeoning economy and a long history of engagement with the multilateral order – is of special significance. For BRICS watchers in general and anyone interested in the future of India in particular, twenty-two scholars of international repute have produced one of the most comprehensive volumes on India's role in the evolving global order: Shaping the Emerging World.

Viewed objectively, it will not be a wrong assertion to conclude that the global object of strategy as used in battlefield, politics and other fields of endeavours, to bring conditions most favourable to one's own side, judge precisely the right moment to attack or withdraw and access limits correctly was disproportionately exploited recently by Nigeria's 9th Assembly Senators screening the ministerial nominees to favour their former Senators that made up the ministerial list forwarded by President Muhammadu Buhari to them for screening.

Department Communication Engineering Year 2004 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language English Page Count 67 Title the reduction of out-of-band power emission in OFDM Keyword out-of-band OFDM OFDM out-of-band Abstract Due to the growth in wireless communications, more efficient utilization of spectrum is necessary. The increased sharing of spectrum translates into a higher likelihood of users interfering with one another. Therefore, interference rejection becomes an important issue in digital wireless communications.
In order to gain high bandwidth efficiency, we try to reduce the out-of-band power. By our proposed method, it can reduce the adjacent interference indeed. By the way, this method has drawback: peak-power phenomenon. To eliminate this problem, we add a constraint, and solve it indeed. Thus, the object of gaining high bandwidth efficiency will be achieved and more channels may be allowed in the specific frequency band.
According to our simulation, two advantages can be achieved as follows:
1. We only need to insert two auxiliary data into the original null subcarriers for reducing out-of-band power.
2. Reduce the out-of-band power spectrum.
3. The drawback of peak-power phenomenon can be reduced dramatically.
4. Increase the spectral efficiency.
5. Do not need to change hardware of current systems.

Some of the most commonly received questions or concerns are those regarding lost, abandoned, or injured wildlife. Please note that the wildlife refuge is dedicated to creating or sustaining habitat for wildlife; we have no veterinary facilities and can not accept injured, orphaned, or unwanted wildlife. The article below (with text from Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife) should answer most questions and point you in the right direction.
In the spring and early summer, you may have the good fortune of observing a baby animal in the wild. Often, the baby you see will be unattended by a parent. Unless something seems amiss, keep your distance and leave it alone. Human intervention is always a wild animal's LAST resort for survival, NEVER its best hope.
Wildlife parents are very devoted to their young and rarely abandon them. Many species are only raised by the mother. Baby wildlife must be left alone the majority of the time while the mother ventures off to find food for herself and her young.
The best thing to do is to keep your distance, and keep children and pets away from the young animal. Wild animals can carry parasites or diseases that can be harmful to humans and pets. Wild animals also defend themselves by scratching or biting.
If you see open wounds or other injuries, or you know without a doubt that a young wild animal has lost its parent, consult your nearest Wildlife District Office or local wildlife rehabilitator. Do not attempt to capture or feed it until expert guidance is provided to you. Also, limit contact with the animal to reduce stress and the possibility of it becoming habituated. Taming a young animal will make it unreleasable into the wild. It is illegal to keep wildlife without a rehabilitators permit. Rehabilitators go through extensive training on how to raise and treat young and injured wildlife. Leave it to the professionals and you'll greatly increase the animals chance of survival. If you take an animal from the wild, there is a 90% chance it will NOT survive.
Assess the situation by asking if any of the following apply:
If the answer to any of these is "yes," the baby animal or bird is likely injured or orphaned. Contact the nearest permitted wildlife rehabilitator for treatment.
If the answer to these questions is "No," but if the baby animal is in a dangerous location, the baby can be moved a short distance to a safer location (do not attempt to move adult animals). After moving the baby animal, quickly leave the area. Do not linger. If possible, you can monitor from afar with binoculars. If the animal is not in a dangerous location, and if you are not positive it is injured, leave the baby animal alone! The baby animal is most likely healthy and waiting for mom to return. Keep children and pets away, monitor from a distance and reassess the situation the next day. Mothers will usually return and move the baby to a new location.

Today's Scoops
President Buhari wants APC aspirants who feel cheated by the party to stay faithful
President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirants who lost out in the primaries to remain "faithful to the country" and "hold on to integrity" as there will be more opportunities to serve along the way.
Backstory: Speaking at a dinner on Tuesday with members of the APC Aspirants Forum (yes – there is such a thing), the President pointed to himself as an example, saying despite losing at the polls in three previous attempts, he persevered and eventually came into power. He said that providence had a role to play in paving the way for the just, committed, and patient politician who intends to truly serve the country.
And then he went after his favorite target – the PDP. "Those who mismanaged the resources of the country are still very much around, with incredible wealth," he said. Nothing was said by the president about members of the APC with similar incredible wealth.
The thing about President Buhari's request is that most of the aggrieved aspirants are not complaining about losing in a fair election. They allege that the party did not conduct a transparent primary process. When Buhari felt similarly cheated and unsatisifed with the direction of his former party, the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), he dumped it and formed a new party, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), on which platform he ran for president in 2011. In this case, he is asking them to simply accept a process they consider to be unfair.
The president also seems to be conflating staying put within the APC with staying faithful to Nigeria. "I urge you to stay faithful if your objective is to serve the country," he said. Isn't it possible that someone may be outside of the APC and still committed to serving and being faithful to Nigeria?
Bottom line: It is uncertain if the president's speech will assuage the pile of grievances within the APC. It would be particularly interesting to see the action that will be taken by the three aggrieved governors. Yes, they are just three out of scores of upset party members, but their next move arguably has the potential to make the largest impact on the chances of the ruling party next year.

World Wood-Based Panels Conference addresses timber legalityThe legality of timber and timber products was a recurrent theme at the Fourth World Wood-Based Panels Conference that took place from 22-23 September 2017, in Linyi, China. The China National Forest Products Industry Association (CNFPIA) formally released China's timber legality verification standard at the opening of the Conference. This voluntary standard sets out the requirements for timber legality for CNFPIA member companies.
Members of the European Parliament praise the VPA process in HondurasWhen Members of the European Parliament visited Honduras in September 2017, they were impressed with the unity of purpose with which diverse stakeholders are working together to address illegal logging, through the Voluntary Partnership Agreement or VPA Honduras is negotiating with the EU.
Briefing compares Japan's Clean Wood Act with the EU Timber RegulationThe EU FLEGT Facility has published a briefing that compares two regulatory approaches that aim to prevent trade in illegally-harvested timber and timber products: Japan's Clean Wood Act and the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR).
New briefing introduces the Chinese Timber Legality Verification SystemThe EU FLEGT Facility has published a briefing on the Chinese Timber Legality Verification System (CTLVS) and associated policies that China is developing to combat illegal logging and trade in illegal timber.
Lessons and inspiration from Indonesia's FLEGT experienceIndonesia was not the only one to celebrate its FLEGT licensing launch last year. Other tropical timber exporters engaged in the FLEGT VPA process en route to licensing welcomed the news too. They see Indonesia's success not just as inspirational, but providing lessons from which they can learn. Mike Jeffree reports
Ghana visits Indonesia to learn FLEGT licensing lessonsWith Ghana moving towards full implementation of its Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the EU on illegal logging, representatives of its forest sector stakeholders have visited Indonesia to learn about its experiences of reaching that goal.
Ghana champions rights and fair compensation for forest communitiesGhana's work to promote the legal timber trade, in partnership with the European Union (EU), strongly emphasizes involving local communities who live in or near forests.
EUTR News – June to August 2017This issue of the EUTR News provides an update on the operation of the EU's law to address illegal logging, the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR), from June to August 2017.
VPAs give communities a confident voiceFLEGT VPAs are not just about delivering legal timber to the EU, but ensuring greater stakeholder participation in timber sector decision-making in supplier countries to the benefit of ordinary people. Mike Jeffree reports on progress in Ghana, Guyana, Honduras, Indonesia, Liberia and Vietnam.
Lessons learned from independent forest monitoring in AfricaThe nongovernmental organisation Fern and its partners in four African countries have reported how independent forest monitoring has had positive effects on forest governance. In a new brief, they share stories of impact and lessons they have learned.

When the stadium lights came on for the very first time at Bristol Motor Speedway on the evening of August 26, 1978 to illuminate the Volunteer 500 NASCAR Cup Series race, no one knew at the time that it was the beginning of something truly special.
Prior to that, only one other track had hosted NASCAR Cup races at night: the Nashville Fairgounds Speedway.
Fans at The World's Fastest Half-Mile have loved the energy and atmosphere created at every edition of America's Night Race since, and simply love watching their favorite sport under darkness in the cool crisp evening air. The race cars sparkle and shine and history has shown that sparks will fly and sometimes tempers will flare as 40 drivers are aggressively running their race cars on the .533-mile all-concrete high-banked oval, beating and banging for track position.
The Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race, set for Aug. 18, marks the 40thanniversary of racing under the lights at The Last Great Colosseum.
"We are proud to celebrate 40 years of racing under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway," said Jerry Caldwell, BMS executive vice president and general manager. "The Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race, or America's Night Race as many have come to call it, continues to be one of the most exciting and most anticipated events for fans on the NASCAR circuit. There have been so many memorable finishes during the race over the years, it never seems to disappoint in terms of action and intensity."
Cale Yarborough raced to victory at the very first BMS Night Race. He drove his No. 11 Oldsmobile to the checkered flag after holding off Benny Parsons for the victory. Yarborough led 327 laps of the race, including the final 193. He beat Parsons by 15 seconds.
Since then there have been many memorable moments during America's Night Race.
Just to name a few, fans remember vividly Tony Stewart's helmet throw in 2012, Ward Burton's anger towards Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2002, Carl Edwards using the famous bump-n-run on Kyle Busch to get the win in 2008 and Kevin Harvick spinning out Denny Hamlin early in the 2014 race.
However, there have been two America's Night Race finishes that really put the event on the map in the mid to late 1990s.
In the first of two America's Night Race tussles between Terry Labonte and Dale Earnahardt Sr., Labonte got the better end of the outcome. The two drivers were racing doorhandle-to-doorhandle in the event's closing laps, when Earnhardt's car ultimately made contact with the back of Labonte's car as the two sped to the finish. After the impact was made, Labonte's machine went sliding across the finish line as the checkered flag waved. The Victory Lane snapshot of Labonte and his crew standing beside his crumpled Chevrolet while it was steaming and spewing fluids remains one of the lasting images of America's Night Race.
Four years later the legendary duo decided to add a sequel. This time Earnhardt got the better of Labonte in a similar bump and grind finish. This time the "Intimidator" sent Labonte's car sliding in turns three and four and sprinted past him in his black GM Goodwrench Chevy to take the checkered flag. In Victory Lane, Earnhardt famously said, "I didn't mean to turn him around, but I did want to rattle his cage."
The winningest driver in Night Race history is Darrell Waltrip, who has claimed seven checkered flags in the event and remains the only driver in NASCAR history to win the event in three consecutive years.
As the 40th America's Night Race prepares to get underway, fans should expect more of the same drama and intensity that has defined the race over the past 39 editions.
There are four races scheduled during three nights of racing at the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race weekend, including action in the Whelen Modified Tour, Camping World Truck Series, Xfinity Series and the Monster Energy Cup Series. During the Cup race, you'll get to see all of your favorite drivers doing what they do best, including Bristol dominator and defending winner Kyle Busch, his arch-rival Kyle Larson, rising star Ryan Blaney, 2016 Night Race winner Kevin Harvick, Daytona 500 winner Austin Dillon, defending series champ Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, Erik Jones, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and Bubba Wallace.
There's so much to do during the weekend around the grounds of Bristol Motor Speedway, including stops in the Fan Midway, Fan Zone and Kids Zone. There's music, games, food, souvenir haulers, driver appearances, autograph sessions and more. There's great video entertainment provided by Colossus TV, the world's largest center-hung video screen. You'll also want to kick back and enjoy some NASCAR-style tailgating with your friends prior to each night's race. And speaking of fun, on Thursday, one of the biggest and longest running fan fests on the NASCAR circuit kicks off with Food City Family Race Night. There'll be plenty of appearances by drivers, legends and other celebrities during this event, which takes place in the BMS hospitality area and lasts from noon until 6 p.m.
If you want to bring the entire clan out to experience the amazing fun that is America's Night Race, Bristol Motor Speedway officials are making it easier than ever for families to enjoy the weekend. Kids' tickets (12 and under) are free and adult tickets start at $30 for Thursday's (Aug. 16) UNOH 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race and the Bush's Beans 150 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race. On Friday (Aug. 17), kids' tickets are free and adult tickets start at $30 for the Food City 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series race and Pinty's Qualifying. On Saturday (Aug. 18) adult tickets start at $70 for the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race and kids' tickets are $10. For all races, each child must have a physical ticket in hand to enter the gates. The Bristol Motor Speedway ticket office is the only authorized location that can produce the free kids' tickets. Tickets can also be purchased for a limited time directly from any neighborhood Food City store. To purchase tickets, please call 423-BRISTOL or buy them online at www.BRISTOLTIX.com.

MORE statistics and results from a recent Canadian study that evaluate the preferences and perceptions of corporate charity in Canada:
Three in ten Canadians said that the amount of their purchase being given to the cause was the most important factor [when deciding whether to purchase a product for a cause]
- 72% agreed that they would buy a different brand if it supported a cause that mattered to them
- Females and people aged 30 to 44 (Gen X) were more likely to agree that, all else being equal, they would buy a brand that supported their cause
- Canadians are willing to travel, on average, up to 18 minutes longer to buy a product that supports a cause they care about
- Fewer than two in ten Canadians (19%) said they were very likely to add a $2 donation to their purchase if asked at a grocery store check-out.
- Overall about half of all respondents said they were likely (52%) to make a donation
- When buying something at a store where the cashier asks whether the customer would like to donate to a specific cause, 67% of Canadians said they are more likely to donate if they found out that the store was matching their donation dollar for dollar
The findings of this extensive study are very relevant to Canadian for-profit social enterprises. They tell us that while Canadian do want to donate to causes by supporting companies that choose to partake in cause marketing and social enterprise, the causes they support and the method in which they collect funds for a cause impact the purchasing decision. Other trends include the slightly higher amount of women and Gen X consumers that would support ethically-conscious companies and the fact that Canadians are willing to take extra time to support such companies.
