Town and Community Councils across Wales given new advice to help residents in fuel poverty
13 March 2015
Fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) Cymru has today issued guidance to town and community councils across Wales to help them address local issues relating to heating and energy bills.
The guidance has been developed as part of a project funded by Calor to focus on new ways to reduce rural fuel poverty in Wales.Households in rural Wales are twice as likely to be in fuel poverty as households in urban Wales.
NEA Cymru has worked with Abergwili Community Council in Carmarthenshire over the last year to support them to develop a localised approach to helping residents who are struggling with their energy bills.Abergwili has fuel poverty levels above the national average and no homes in the area have access to mains gas for heating.NEA has now used their experiences of working with Abergwili Community Council to develop recommendations for other town and community councils in Wales to help them address local rural fuel poverty.The guidance also contains recommendations for other organisations who may be considering approaching their local town and community councils to work with them to tackle high energy bills.
In Abergwili, community councillors wanted to find out the issues that local residents had with heating their homes and paying energy bills so asked NEA Cymru to put together a survey they could take from door to door.NEA also analysed the questionnaire responses to decide what further action the council could take, provided free training for community councillors and other community members on affordable warmth and provided a bilingual information leaflet for Abergwili residents with advice on reducing energy bills.The community council are now considering NEA's analysis of the questionnaire responses to decide what further action to take forward.
Carole Morgan-Jones, Director of NEA Cymru, said, "People who live in rural parts of Wales are twice as likely to struggle to affordably heat their homes as those who live in urban areas so we are always looking for new ways to reach these households.We are really glad that, with Calor's support, we've been able to work in Abergwili to help us understand the opportunities and challenges available for town and community councils across Wales to address rural fuel poverty.We also appreciate the support of One Voice Wales in helping us reach town and community councils and share these findings with them."
Lyn Cadwallader, Chief Executive of One Voice Wales, the umbrella body for town and community councils in Wales, said "One Voice Wales welcomes the findings of the pilot study on tackling rural poverty undertaken by NEA Cymru and Abergwili Community Council. The report will have much relevance to other community councils and offers good guidance to rural towns and community councils on how they could take forward local action on fuel poverty. Furthermore, it shows the valuable role community and town councils can play in addressing rural fuel poverty in times of financial austerity."
Holly Sims, Corporate Affairs Manager, Calor, said, "We have been delighted to partner with NEA and Abergwili Community Council on this project to identify the specific energy issues that rural households are facing. We hope that by sharing the findings from the report, communities and councils across rural Wales will be able to work together to tackle fuel poverty and take action to improve the energy efficiency of their homes."
Editor Notes
1.NEA is the UK's leading fuel poverty charity campaigning for affordable warmth in the homes of vulnerable people. For further details visit http://www.nea.org.uk
2.This project marked the fifth year of Calor's work with NEA Cymru.More information on our partnership with Calor is available here: http://www.nea.org.uk/nea-wales/wales-projects/current-projects/calor-prorgamme
3.The Living in Wales survey 2008 showed that 42 per cent of rural households in Wales were in fuel poverty compared to 22 per cent of urban households.The number of households in fuel poverty has risen since 2008, although no more recent comparison of urban to rural households has been made.
4.Fuel poverty is defined as the need to spend more than 10% of household income on energy costs to achieve an adequate level of warmth.
5.Since 1935 Calor has been providing rural Wales with clean, efficient and modern energy solutions. Calor supports efforts to tackle fuel poverty and climate change and wants rural property owners to have the same opportunity to reduce their carbon emissions and fuel costs as exists in on-grid areas.

Introduction: Wind Up Radio Solar Mod Using LED Garden Lights
Wind up radio solar mod
This is my first instructable, so please bare this in mind when building as I may have missed some things.
Also the pictures have been taken with a mobile phone! Sorry!
I was inspired by the solar radio mod by gotwind but I wanted to mod my wind up dynamo powered radio (with light).
Step 1: Parts
I have used 2 old solar garden lights, a soldering iron, solder & the radio.
Once you have got your lights, save the battery from each, remove the solar cell from the top & then remove the LED, 2 large resistors, diode & wires form the circuit board.
The LED & resistors will be used to replace the bulb in the built in flash light section.
Step 2: Bulb Replacement
Remove the case of the radio & extract the bulb (This may be glued in & will need to be eased out).
Notice how in an effort to cut costs, the same coloured wires have been used for both positive & negative connections!
Once the bulb is out, fit the LED in its place (I connected wires to it first to identify the polarity (Flat edge to negative)) along with the resistors & then connect it to the original bulb wires (As I did not have a meter I had to trace the circuit path on the board for + & - connections)
I tested the first part of the mod with standard alkaline batteries to make sure it worked.
Step 3: Solar Panel Connection & Wiring
Connect the red & black wires to the battery terminals, these will be used to attach the solar cell to charge the batteries. Notice the Diode that was removed from the garden light circuit, this is to stop any reverse current leaking back into the solar panels.
The connections are from Solar positive, into the diode with the stripe pointing to Battery positive. i.e the solar call is in parallel with the battery.
This model of radio has a handy label over a cut out hole, ideal to run the wires out of.
The Batteries are fitted (Please DO NOT use alkaline batteries with a solar panel fitted), ready for use / charging.
Finally the solar cells are attached to the connecting wires & the radio can now relax in the sun while charging..
Step 4: Results & Improvements
The 1.2v 600mAh batteries power the radio ok.
The charging times are a bit long, this may be due to voltage loss through the IN5817 Diode that cane with the garden lights.
The LED is much better than the original bulb & the battery lasts much longer as expected.
As I did not touch the dynamo circuit or battery I can always rely on that during the long winter nights.
This mod could be adapted to charge the internal 2.4v 400mAh Ni-cad battery in conjunction with the hand cranked dynamo, just move the wires from the solar cells to this battery (include the diode as well!).

Kool stuff thanx....
great one.. extra bonus from gotwinds one (which I just loved) with the crank radio and light. What are the pros/cons to using the internal battery circuit to the "external ones"? Good work.
Great Instructable! Its the kind of thing I do in my spare time! Though, I would have put both batteries in parallel, had the dynamo and solar able to charge them both.
Hi, Glad that some one likes it… I didn't wire the panel up with the original battery as the power output is quite poor. I may try linking the batteries in parallel but it does needs a lot of cranking to get a full charge or a summer of sun.. Regards

Demon Spirits Occupy All Idolatry
Idolatry takes place when we worship anything created of man instead of worshiping God. We tend to think of idols as being physical objects or images, but for the New Testament Christian idolatry is not so much the bowing down before a statue, although such is still rampant, rather it is the mental harlotry of replacing God with anything in the mind of the purported believer and worshiper. As soon as anything comes between us and God be it physical or mental that thing is an idol. The Bible repeatedly warns us not to be involved in any form of idolatry either consciously or unconsciously and neither publicly nor in private. All forms of idolatry and every idol whether mental, physical or a combination of the same has a demon associated with it that induces the idolatry with its associated forms of worship. Idols of themselves are nothing without the demons that lie behind them seducing people. The enticement and deception of idolatry in all pagan religions (sports, drugs, sex, horoscopes, adventure, spiritualism, witchcraft, entertainment, knowledge, science) is so strong in the last days that even the plagues sent upon the earth will not deter it. Men will refuse to give up the symbols or the thing that is destroying them and turn to God: "And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:" (Rev 9:20)
Idolatry comprises a most dangerous and deceptive foe because of the spirits that lie behind it. "Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." (1Ti 4:1) These seducing spirits take many into a 'land of compromise' within the Church and we find mixtures of worship of the true God with idols of mental creation. The true object of worship for a plethora of modern ministries comprises their deeds done in the name of the Lord and pursuit of reputation or fame. For many clergy and layman alike we find the material objects of cars, land, houses and 'hobbies' topping our physical idols list. Mentally our prime idols have become love of self, self-image, family, popular heroes and carnal appetites of the flesh. All such activities are based upon the deceit of pride. The prophet Hosea tied together the ideas of idolatry, physical adultery and spiritual adultery into a vivid portrayal of the state of deception we face today. Why? Because the idolater is not simply someone bowing down to a physical object. An idolater is someone who has become a slave to the 'ideas' that his idol represents and these 'ideas' create lusts and desires of one form or another that lead to separation from God. The sins of the mind and the sins of the flesh become bound together in a form of idolatry that we should recognize and avoid at all costs. Such is the case as shown with covetousness, which can be defined as 'an intense desire to possess someone or something that belongs to another person'. One does not normally think of covetousness as 'idolatry' but that is how the apostle Paul labeled such sin: "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry." (Col 3:5) The warning against this form of idolatry is very strong. "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." (Eph 5:5) Those who display the idolatry of covetousness are either steeped in deception or have an arrogant disregard of God's law that shall lead to heavy chastisement. There is a greedy self-centeredness in people that seek out their own hedonistic self-gratification, no matter how great the cost nor method they have to employ to satisfy it. Such are the 'anti-Christ's' among us and people that have been given a 'delusion of God' because of their continuous refusal to listen to His word.
We are to separate ourselves from all idolatry and idols. Do you want to determine if your favorite 'activity', idea or relationship has become an idol and time sucking demon in your life that hinders your walk with God? Simply try giving it up for a period of time. If you cannot then quickly turn toward Jesus and away from the methods of man for you are probably the victim of a seducing spirit.
"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1
A yoke is a bar for oxen that ties them together so they may bear a heavy load. Naturally oxen cannot choose whether to bear such loads or not, for they are under the bondage and restraints of their owners. As members of the body of Christ bondage is anything that keeps us from the freedom in Christ Jesus. Unlike oxen we can choose not to remain in servitude and may cast off the yokes placed upon us by religious institutions and the men that run them. Some men that create burdening circumstances of bondage do so in innocence through their ignorance of the word of God, but others are deliberate yoke makers who merchandise us if we permit them to. (Hosea 4:6) "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you." (2Peter 2:3) Whether from ignorance or deliberate intent, it is these yoke makers that we must deal with to gain our freedom and pass from being the simple servant of Jesus to being his friend. We must take a cursory look at some 'yoke makers' if we are to remain free or gain freedom from the deception they are under and try to perpetuate upon us.
The Yoke Makers
1. "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be the friend of the world is the enemy of God?" (James 4:4) People in this grouping compromise the word of God through the use of worldly methods and values to build the Church and they teach others to do the same. Churches under such leadership mentality usually find themselves caught into a plethora of 'reaching out' ministries that employ methods used by social service organizations. There is an 'end justifies the means attitude' that sees physical growth and size of church community as evidence of God's blessing when in reality it is only man's works. "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." (Luke 16:15) The evil idolatry of such ministry and works truly saddens the heart of our Lord.
2. "This people draw near unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." (Matthew 15: 8-9) One of the greatest transgressors in this arena is the Roman Catholic priesthood with their plethora of special day celebrations and promotion of vain and repetitious prayers such as the 'Rosary' with its endless intercession through Mary as the 'Mother of God'. However, to this battery must also be added 'comfort zone teachers' with their prosperity doctrines and misguided teachings surrounding doctrines of unconditional love. All such teachings remove you from a relationship of simply 'being in Christ' and place emphasis upon receiving things from Him as being a sign of spiritual blessing.
3. "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness." (2Thessalonians 2: 11-12) These spiritually sick groupings actually 'take pleasure in unrighteousness' and within such ranks are certainly found the practicing homosexuals, lesbians and deluded churches that support them. We are not to tolerate this lot but are required to rebuke both the practitioners and their supporters. If there is refusal to listen then "a man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject; knowing that he is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself." (Titus 3: 10-11)
4. Heed this, "for such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (2Corinthians 11: 13-15) Here we encounter the men spoken to by the prophet Jeremiah: "Woe be unto you pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture says the Lord. For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the Lord." (Jeremiah 23:1,11) Such men are found in abundance amid the Catholic priests with their homosexuality and pedophilia and amid the Anglicans with their open tolerance of the men who perform such acts. The former Arch Bishop of Canterbury was one such deluded person who supports all types of these sinners. This clearly is evidence of the deception he is under and the fact he cannot comprehend the simple word of God.
In these ranks we also find people as addressed by Jesus: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matt 23: 13-14) Many well-meaning pastors, Bible college professors, teachers and church administrators swell these ranks. Such men zealously guard their positions for the financial and social benefit it accrues them. They block the advance of the Kingdom through their limiting of the teaching of the unfettered Word to what they are comfortable with or that which does not threaten their own self-righteous standing or misunderstanding. These persons reject His knowledge and thus face the reality that: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no priest to me:" (Hosea 4:6)
The list seems endless, but also amid deceitful workers and false apostles are those that ordain women to the pastoral headship over a flock such as the Four Square Gospel Church and the Assemblies of God. "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." (1Ti 2:12) With such people in abundance we say "it is time for thee to work Lord, for they have made void thy law." (Psalms 119:126) Being we are surrounded by so many spirits of anti-Christ how do we clearly identify those that have been 'transformed to look like ministers of righteousness'? 1John 4:1-4 provides the test and proof absolute but another way of knowing is when those who are deliberately teaching error from an office of leadership repeatedly refuse to repent. Such is the case we find with Roman Catholic bishops who claim that the Bible is not true if it contradicts their church doctrine because they say the church existed before the Bible. What blasphemy to pour out from a sinful man's polluted mouth. When men teach others to deliberately violate the word of God they must repent or face an eternal damnation! It is that simple fate which faces priests, pastors and ministers that demand people violate God's word through any form of idolatry and perpetuate the deliberate breaking of His commandments. Do you need to repent of such odious actions? Do you rank somewhere among the four general ranks of the yoke makers?
Has your life in some manner become a living witness to your idolatry? Has your mouth foolishly spoken against the Lord? Are you nothing more than a stumbling block for those seeking the fullness of a 'life in Christ'? Perhaps you are akin to the foolish followers of Islam and have not yet asked Christ to be the Lord of your life. If you are reading this, it is likely your final time of warning to get right with the God of Creation. You will not like the eternal results of a wrong choice, so examine yourself carefully as Jesus is returning soon whether you like it or not. Wake up, God does not require your permission for anything and His time is drawing to closure exactly as spoken in Bible prophecy. So, with Jesus knocking on the door it is truly a time to repent!
"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" (Galatians 4:16)

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers Drs. Jay Schneider, Joseph Hill and Eric Olson have been awarded a $2 million grant from the American Heart Association to study the development and mechanisms of generating new cardiac muscle cells.
UT Southwestern was one of only three institutions in the country to receive the highly competitive award, which will establish an American Heart Association-Jon Holden DeHaan Foundation Cardiac Myogenesis Research Center.
Each center will conduct a number of basic science research projects to learn more about how cardiac muscle cells develop and work together. The AHA grant provides funding through 2012.
"Our grant submission involved a small-molecule drug that we discovered by screening the UT Southwestern chemical library with cardiac stem cells," said Dr. Schneider, assistant professor of internal medicine. "Original studies of that drug were done in cultured stem cells, but we have now shown that it actually works as a drug in the adult heart by targeting a rare population of native cardiac stem cells and by activating muscle genes in these cells."
Dr. Hill, chief of cardiology, said the finding could lead to treatments that activate stem cells within the heart to emerge as functional muscle cells.
"We are hopeful that opportunities presented to our researchers through the funding provided by this grant will lead to improved outcomes for heart attack and heart failure patients," he said.
The UT Southwestern researchers said their investigations could significantly help advance the understanding of stem cells' role in heart disease and repair, leading to new ways to care for patients with heart attacks or congestive heart failure by stimulating heart cell regeneration.
"The goal is to use small molecules and microRNAs (ribonucleic acids) as probes to understand the mechanistic barriers that prevent the human heart from repairing itself after injury," said Dr. Schneider. "By doing so, we hope to develop new therapeutics based on small molecules and microRNAs that will overcome these barriers and induce the human heart to regenerate after injury."
Dr. Olson, chairman of molecular biology and director of the Nancy B. and Jake L. Hamon Center for Basic Research in Cancer and the Nearburg Family Center for Basic and Clinical Research in Pediatric Oncology, said the award will unite researchers from several fields to attack the problem. For instance, Dr. Schneider worked collaboratively with Dr. Steven McKnight, chairman of biochemistry at UT Southwestern, during the initial research for the grant proposal.
"This grant from the AHA will enable us to translate basic discoveries in the laboratory into new therapeutic approaches for improving function of the failing heart. We intend to take an interdisciplinary approach and draw from the expertise of basic scientists and clinicians to achieve this goal," Dr. Olson said.
His research focuses on genes that control development of the heart in embryos, and how those genes can help repair damaged adult hearts. Other Cardiac Myogenesis Research Centers receiving the grant are the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Minnesota.

Incredible! These tasted so good. Although the sauce is sufficient for 4 cups of shredded turkey, I think next time I will double the sauce because it was awesome!

These were delicious!

I trusted the reviews of others, and quadrupled this recipe for a group, the first time I made it. I was not disappointed! For a single recipe, I used only 1-1/2 teaspoons of oil/butter to saute vegetables in a non-stick skillet. I didn't butter the buns. I also reduced the amount of brown sugar to 1-1/2 tablespoons. Next time I'll make slightly more sauce for the amount of turkey--I like the sandwiches a little more moist.
Apr 1, 2011
This is a delicious recipe and easy. Didn't have turkey so used shredded chicken and cut down on the butter to saute veggies. Used on open faced whole wheat buns w/ a spread of mayo. Yum, yum. Will definitely make again.
Jul 6, 2010
Great recipe and not too spicy. I used vegetable oil instead of butter to saute vegetables and didn't bother buttering the buns since I didn't really see the need.
Jun 23, 2010
Very good recipe, but I made one big change from the recipe as it appears here: I only used 3 Tbsp of butter instead of 2/3 cup. I can't imagine putting that much butter in it!

Nowadays huge attention is paid to reversible data hiding (RDH) in encrypted images, since it maintains the excellent property that the original cover can be lossless recovered after embedded data is extracted while protecting the image content's confidentiality. Recent Methods such as reserving room before encryption with a traditional RDH algorithm sometimes results in error and complicated usage at the time of data extraction and/or image restoration .Hence to overcome this problem, this project propose an efficient method which uses by combining cryptographic primitives based encryption with Histogram Shifting-based RDH algorithm, a high capacity and low distortion can be achieved efficiently, and thus it is easy for the data hider to reversibly embed data in the encrypted image.Extracting Data from Encrypted Images to manage and update personal information of images which are encrypted for protecting clients' privacy, an inferior database manager may only get access to the data hiding key and have to manipulate data in encrypted domain. When the database manager gets the data hiding key, he can decrypt using the same cryptographic primitives and extract the additional data by directly reading the decrypted version.. As the whole process is entirely operated on encrypted domain, it avoids the leakage of original content. The proposed method can achieve real multi level reversibility, that is, data extraction and image recovery are free of any error. Experiments show that this method can embed more than 10 times as large payloads for the same image quality.
Index Terms
|Reversible data hiding, image encryption, privacy Protection, histogram shift.
|REVERSIBLE data hiding (RDH) in images is a technique, by which the original cover can be lossless recovered after the embedded message is extracted. This important technique is widely used in medical imagery, military imagery and law forensics, where no distortion of the original cover is allowed. Since first introduced, RDH has attracted considerable research interest.With the advance of computer networks and signal processing, digital multimedia are spread widely through the Internet nowadays. This causes the security problem of exposing transmitted digital data on the network with the risk of being copied or intercepted illegally. In order to protect the privacy of private data, various cryptographic techniques have been proposed to encrypt these data before conducting data transmission. However, with considerable increasing of the computing powers of modern computers, the security of the data yielded by these techniques is threatened. In addition, though cryptographic techniques encrypt secret messages into unrecognizable forms before transmission, the undisguised appearances of the encrypted message would easily arouse suspicion and bring on unexpected attacks from hackers.
|The development of information hiding techniques provides another solution to protecting digital media. Such techniques may be employed to embed private or secret information into cover media in such a way that the existence of the hidden information is imperceptible but known only to a preconcerted recipient. Information like private annotations, business logos, and critical intelligence can be embedded into a cover image in an invisible form so that many applications, like ownership claim of digital contents, copyright protection of media, covert communication between parties, etc., can be fulfilled. Information hiding techniques used for covert communication are often called steganography, and those for ownership or copyright protection are often called watermarking.
|In the early phase, conventional steganography emphasizes exploring higher hiding capacities and pursuing lower quality degradations in watermarked images (also referred to as stego-images in the sequel). In general, a small amount of content loss will occur in the stego-image, though often imperceptible.
|However, such a loss is not desirable in some applications, such as legal documentation, military reconnaissance, high-precision scientific investigation, etc., because it may lead to risks of incorrect decision making. In view of this, a type of novel data hiding technique, which is referred to as reversible, invertible, lossless, or distortion-free, has been developed in recent years. In this study, a reversible data hiding method which yields stego-images with good qualities and high data hiding capacities is proposed.
|Reversible data hiding techniques can be employed to restore stego-images to their pristine states after the hidden data are extracted.
|Such techniques can be classified into three groups:
|1. Based on data compression
|2. Based on pixel-value difference expansion
|3. Based on histogram shifting .
|The strategy used in the techniques of the first group is to compress message data as well as related information and embed the result directly into the cover image. A method in this group is Barton which compresses the secret message before embedding them into the bit stream of digital data. a high-capacity lossless data hiding method which quantizes each image pixel by into L-level scales, compresses the quantization residues, and embeds the secret bits as well as the compressed data into the quantified image by the least-significant-bit (LSB) substitution technique.
|The second group of reversible data hiding methods aims to explore the redundancy of pixel values in images. A technique of pixel-value difference expansion by performing fundamental arithmetic operations on pairs of pixels to discover hide able space. A location map is used to indicate whether pairs are expanded or not. An enhanced pixel-value difference expansion method proposed here which used a refined location map and a new concept of expandability to achieve higher data hiding capacities while keeping the resulting image distortion as low as that yielded .
|The last group of reversible data hiding methods, to which the proposed method belongs, is based on the concept of histogram shifting. Here a reversible data hiding method which shifts slightly the part of the histogram between the maximum point (also called the peak point) and the minimum point to the right side by one pixel value to create an empty bin besides the maximum point for hiding an input message. Advantages of this method include yielding superior hiding capacities and providing higher qualities in stego-images. The knowledge of the maximum point and the minimum point of the histogram is necessary for retrieving the hidden data and restoring the stego-image lossless to the original state. In addition, the coordinates of the pixels whose gray values equal to the gray value of the minimum point b need be recorded as overhead information when the value of b is not zero. Consideration of multiple pairs of maximum and minimum points was also included in the method in order to raise the data hiding capacity, at the sacrifice of the resulting stegoimage quality. A problem occurs here when too many of such pairs are selected for data hiding.
|In such a case, a rapid increase of the size of the overhead information, which cannot be embedded completely in the cover image, might occur. So the idea of decomposing the entire cover image into blocks and using the peak point of the histogram of each block to hide data. The technique of block division successfully improves the data hiding capacity and keeps the stego-image quality at the same level, later the concept of slightly adjusting the pixel values located at both sides of a histogram peak to embed message data.. The Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of the stego-image needs a modification in some cases. A modification of the method using several pairs of peak points and minimum points instead of just one was also proposed. However, the more of such pairs are selected, the larger the decrease in the data hiding capacity becomes, because more information of the selected minimum points and the reversible points need be kept in the location map. Later used the block division technique to increase the data hiding capacity.
|Since lossless vacating room from the encrypted images is relatively difficult and sometimes inefficient, why are we still so obsessed to find novel RDH techniques working directly for encrypted images? If we reverse the order of encryption and vacating room, i.e., reserving room prior to image encryption at content owner side, the RDH tasks in encrypted images would be more natural and much easier which leads us to the novel framework, "reserving room before encryption (RRBE)".As shown in Fig. 1(b), the content owner first reserves enough space on original image and then converts the image into its encrypted version with the encryption key. Now, the data embedding process in encrypted images is inherently reversible for the data hider only needs to accommodate data into the spare space previous emptied out. The data extraction and image recovery are identical to that of Framework VRAE. Obviously, standard RDH algorithms are the ideal operator for reserving room before encryption and can be easily applied to Framework RRBE to achieve better performance compared with techniques from Framework VRAE. This is because in this new framework, we follow the customary idea that first lossless compresses the redundant image content (e.g., using excellent RDH techniques)and then encrypts it with respect to protecting privacy. Next, we elaborate a practical method based on the Framework "RRBE", which primarily consists of four stages: generation of encrypted image, data hiding in encrypted image, data extraction and image recovery. Note that the reserving operation we adopt in the proposed method is a traditional RDH approach.
|Nowadays huge attention is paid to reversible data hiding (RDH) in encrypted images, since it maintains the excellent property that the original cover can be lossless recovered after embedded data is extracted while protecting the image content's confidentiality. Recent Methods such as reserving room before encryption with a traditional RDH algorithm sometimes results in error and complicated usage at the time of data extraction and/or image restoration .Hence to overcome this problem, this project propose an efficient method which uses by combining cryptographic primitives based encryption with Histogram Shifting-based RDH algorithm, a high capacity and low distortion can be achieved efficiently, and thus it is easy for the data hider to reversibly embed data in the encrypted image.
|Extracting Data from Encrypted Images to manage and update personal information of images which are encrypted for protecting clients' privacy, an inferior database manager may only get access to the data hiding key and have to manipulate data in encrypted domain. When the database manager gets the data hiding key, he can decrypt using the same cryptographic primitives and extract the additional data by directly reading the decrypted version.. As the whole process is entirely operated on encrypted domain, it avoids the leakage of original content.The proposed method can achieve real multi level reversibility, that is, data extraction and image recovery are free of any error. Experiments show that this method can embed more than 10 times as large payloads for the same image quality.
A. Logging Mail by Content Sender
|This module helps to log in to a mail in which this mail is configured and designed especially for sending confidential data with the Encrypted Image to another mail recipient.
B. Generation of Encrypted Image
|Actually, to construct the encrypted image, the first stage can be divided into three steps: image partition, self reversible embedding followed by image encryption. At the beginning, image partition step divides original image into two parts A and B; then, the LSBs of A are reversibly embedded into B with a standard RDH algorithm so that LSBs of A can be used for accommodating messages; at last, encrypt the rearranged image to generate its final version.
|1) Image Partition: The operator here for reserving room before encryption is a standard RDH technique, so the goal of image partition is to construct a smoother area , on which standard RDH algorithms such as [10], [11] can achieve better performance. To do that, without loss of generality, assume the original image is an 8 bits gray-scale image with its size MXN and pixels Ci,j€[0,255],1<=J<=M,1<=J<=N. First, the content owner extracts from the original image, along the rows, several overlapping blocks whose number is determined by the size of to-be-embedded messages, denoted by . In detail, every block consists of rows, where m=[1/N], and the number of blocks can be computed through n=M-m+1. An important point here is that each block is overlapped by pervious and/or subsequential blocks along the rows. For each block, define a function to measure its first-order smoothness
|the image concatenated by the rest part B with fewer textured areas, as shown in Fig. 3.The above discussion implicitly relies on the fact that only single LSB-plane A of is recorded. It is straightforward that the content owner can also embed two or more SBplanes of A into B , which leads to half, or more than half, reduction in size of . However, the performance of , n terms of PSNR, after data embedding in the second stage decreases significantly with growing bitplanes exploited. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate situations that at most three LSB-planes of are employed and determine the number of bit-plane with regard to different payloads experimentally in the next section.
|2) Self-Reversible Embedding: The goal of selfreversible embedding is to embed the LSB-planes of A into B by employing traditional RDH algorithms. For illustration, we simplify the method in [10] to demonstrate the process of self-embedding. Note that this step does not rely on any specific RDH algorithm. Pixels in the rest of image B are first categorized into two sets: white pixels with its indices i and j satisfying (i+j) mod 2=0and black pixels whose indices meet (i+j) mod 2=1 , as shown in Fig. 3. Then, each white pixel, is estimated by the interpolation value obtained with the four black pixels surrounding it as follows
|where the weight wi,1<=i<=4 , is determined by the same method as proposed in [10]. The estimating error is calculated via e i,j=B i,j-B' i,j and then some data can be embedded into the estimating error sequence with histogram shift, which will be described later. After that, we further calculate the estimating errors of black pixels with the help of surrounding white pixels that may have been modified B. Then another estimating error sequence is generated which can accommodate messages as well. Furthermore, we can also implement multilayer embedding scheme by considering the modified as "original" one when needed. In summary, to exploit all pixels of , A two estimating error sequences are constructed for embedding messages in every single-layer embedding process. By bidirectional histogram shift, some messages can be embedded on each error sequence. That is, first divide the histogram of estimating errors into two parts, i.e., the left part and the right part, and search for the highest point in each part, denoted by LM and RM , respectively. For typical images, LM=-1 and RM=0. Furthermore, search for the zero point in each part, denoted by LN and RN. To embed messages into positions with an estimating error that is equal to RM, shift all error values between RM+1 and RN-1 with one step toward right, and then, we can represent the bit 0 with RM and the bit 1with RM+1 . The embedding process in the left part is similar except that the shifting direction is left, and the shift is realized by subtracting 1 from the corresponding pixel values. Suppose we should implement the embedding scheme times to accommodate additional data. In the previous x-1 single-layer embedding rounds, peak points of two error sequences are selected and utilized to embed messages as above mentioned. When it comes to the th single-layer embedding, only a small portion of messages is left to be embedded, so it is unadvisable to accommodate such little data at the expense of shifting all error values between peak points and their corresponding zero points. To deal with this issue, we can either exploit only part of error sequences which has enough peak points to embed the remaining messages while leaving the rest error sequences unchanged, or find two proper points, denoted by and , whose sum is larger, however closest to, the size of remaining messages. By shifting error values between and their corresponding zero points, messages can be embedded into and instead of peak points. Fig. 3 illustrates the idea of selecting proper points. Generally speaking, two solutions can gain significantly improvement in terms of PSNR when the length of data is relatively short, i.e., when. And the superiority of one solution over the other depends highly on statistics of natural image itself which will be discussed in the next section. The same with other RDH algorithms, overflow/underflow problem occurs when natural boundary pixels change from 255 to 256 or from 0 to . To avoid it, we only embed data into estimating error with its corresponding pixel valued from 1 to 254. However, ambiguities still arise when no boundary pixels are changed from 1 to 0 or from 254 to 255 during the embedding process. These created boundary pixels in the embedding process are defined as pseudo-boundary pixels. Hence, a boundary map is introduced to tell whether boundary pixels in marked image are natural or pseudo in extracting process. It is a binary sequence with bit "0" for natural boundary pixel, bit "1" for pseudo-boundary pixel. Since estimating errors of marginal area of cannot be calculated via (2), to make the best use of we choose its marginal area shown in Fig. 2 to place the boundary map, and use LSB replacement to embed it. The original LSBs of marginal area is assembled with messages, i.e., LSB-planes of , and reversibly embedded into .In most cases, even with a large embedding rate, the length of boundary map is very short; thus, the marginal area of is enough to accommodate it. Meanwhile, several parameters such as , payloads embedded into the estimating errors of black pixels , total embedding rounds , start row and end row of in original image, are embedded into marginal area in a similar way. These parameters play an important role in data extraction and image recovery process.
|3) Image Encryption: After rearranged self-embedded image, denoted by , is generated, we can encrypts X to onstruct the encrypted image, denoted by .With a stream cipher, the encryption version of X is easily obtained. For example, a gray value X i,j ranging from 0 to 255 can be represented by 8 bits, X i,j(0),X i,j(1),........Xi,j(7) such that
|where ri,j(k) is generated via a standard stream cipher determined by the encryption key. Finally, we embed 10 bits information into LSBs of first 10 pixels in encrypted version A of to tell data hider the number of rows and the number of bit-planes he can embed information into. Note that after image encryption, the data hider or a third party cannot access the content of original image without the encryption key, thus privacy of the Content owner being protected.
C. Data Hiding in Encrypted Image
|Once the data hider acquires the encrypted image, he can embed some data into it, although he does not get access to the original image. The embedding process starts with locating the encrypted version of, denoted by AE. Since AE has been rearranged to the top of , it is effortless for the data hider to read 10 bits information in LSBs of first 10 encrypted pixels. After knowing how many bit-planes and rows of pixels he can modify, the data hider simply adopts LSB replacement to substitute the available bit-planes with additional data. Finally, the data hider sets a label following m to point out the end position of embedding process and further encrypts m according to the data hiding key to formulate marked encrypted image denoted by E'. Anyone who does not possess the data hiding key could not extract the additional data.
D. Data Extraction and Image Recovery
|Since data extraction is completely independent from image decryption, the order of them implies two different practical applications.
1) Case 1: Extracting Data From Encrypted Images:
|To manage and update personal information of images which are encrypted for protecting clients' privacy, an inferior database manager may only get access to the data hiding key and have to manipulate data in encrypted domain. The order of data extraction before image decryption guarantees the feasibility of our work in this case. When the database manager gets the data hiding key, he can decrypt the LSB-planes of AE and extract the additional data m by directly reading the decrypted version. When requesting for updating information of encrypted images, the database manager, then, updates information through LSB replacement and encrypts updated information according to the data hiding key all over again. As the whole process is entirely operated on encrypted domain, it avoids the leakage of original content.
2) Case 2: Extracting Data From Decrypted Images:
|In Case 1, both embedding and extraction of the data are manipulated in encrypted domain. On the other hand, there is a different situation that the user wants to decrypt the image first and extracts the data from the decrypted image when it is needed. The following example is an application for such scenario. Assume Alice outsourced her images to a cloud server, and the images are encrypted to protect their contents. Into the encrypted images, the cloud server marks the images by embedding some notation, including the identity of the images' owner, the identity of the cloud server and time stamps, to manage the encrypted images. Note that the cloud server has no right to do any permanent damage to the images. Now an authorized user, Bob who has been shared the encryption key and the data hiding key, downloaded and decrypted the images. Bob hoped to get marked decrypted images, i.e., decrypted images still including the notation, which can be used to trace the source and history of the data. The order of image decryption before/without data extraction is perfectly suitable for this case.
|A Reversible data hiding method based on histogram shifting has been proposed, which not only embeds large-volume data into cover images, but also produces stego-images with high qualities by using a strategy of hierarchical block division. The bottleneck of data-hiding-rate increasing at the block size of 8×8 found in existing methods is broken by the proposed non-recursive algorithms. And the proposed recursive versions of the algorithms enhance the performance further both in the data hiding capacity and the PSNR value, which result from the proposed scheme of recursive looking-ahead estimation of the data hiding capacity. The estimation process is a kind of optimal tree search under the quad-tree structure constructed by the hierarchical block division scheme, and so yields an optimal data hiding result under the tree structure. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Future researches may be directed to investigating more block division types for further improvement on the data hiding capacity, applying the histogram shifting technique to other information hiding applications, reducing the key size, eliminating the use to the location map, etc. Future work will be to continue to study the characteristics of image and data hiding methods to increase capacity, PSNR, and security. There should be deep research on increasing the size of the storing data and media data without any latency even if the size of the data increases without any limit.

Recalcitrant thief jailed 50 weeks
A woman branded "a recalcitrant thief" was jailed for 50 weeks yesterday for swiping cash and other property from shops, and stealing handbags from people in public places.
Azma Masoh Di, 46, committed a total of 16 offences of theft or attempted theft over a four-month period, a court heard.
An odd-job worker, she was arrested on Aug 17 for the attempted theft of a handbag at a food centre in People's Park Complex. She was also found to be in fraudulent possession of eight ez-link cards.
Azma, who faced 29 charges, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of theft, attempted theft, fraudulent possession, causing hurt and dishonest misappropriation of a handbag. District Judge Lim Tse Haw backdated her sentence to Aug 19 this year.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jason Nim called her a recalcitrant thief, noting that she had been jailed for theft in 2016. He said the pattern of her offences showed premeditation in that she deliberately exploited the carelessness of her victims.
In some cases, Azma took deliberate steps to avoid detection by distracting victims.
In a July 28 incident, the court heard Ms Wu Shixian, 59, had placed her bag on an adjacent chair when having a meal with a friend at a restaurant in Smith Street. At about 8.30pm, Azma sat next to their table without ordering any food. A few minutes later, she took Ms Wu's bag and left. When Ms Wu discovered the loss, a staff member told her she had seen Azma leave with two bags.
Azma's lawyer, Ms Alice Tan said that her client had a troubled past, two failed marriages and five children. She added that Azma had realised that a life of crime cannot help her deal with her financial and family issues.- THE STRAITS TIMES

New Orleans Saints' biggest stars were in attendance at the Emirates on Monday night as Arsenal beat league rivals West Brom 2-0.
John Kuhn, Drew Brees, Cam Jordan, Mark Ingram II, Thomas Morstead, Wil Lutz, Craig Robertson, Zech Robertson, Zach Wood, Chase Daniel and Taysom Hill all witnessed Alexandre Lacazette's neat double.
The NFL side are currently in the UK ahead of their Wembley clash against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Ingram II and his teammates were lucky enough to go pitch-side where they recorded videos and posed for snaps.
The American Footballers also proudly wore their new Gunners shirts which they seemed to have picked up on the night.
And it was good night for the Saints to attend.
A brace from striker Lacazette helped seal a 2-0 win for Arsenal and extend their unbeaten run to five games in all competitions.
The £52.7million summer signing netted either side of the half to ensure his side claimed all three points, preventing them from falling further behind league leaders' Manchester City and United.
Wenger's men move up to seventh following their win over the Baggies.
The Frenchman's attention will now turn to Belarus where his men face BATE in the Europa League on Thursday.
Saints and Doplhins mark the second NFL game at Wembley this season following on from Jacksonville Jaguars' devastating 44-7 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

For a taste of what to expect, watch last year's performance of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" by our Lindsey Bell Choir.

More Of The Same
Going by Ms. Sharma's track record, we aren't quite surprised to spot her wear the same dress in two colors. Just wish she'd style them a tad bit differently. No, just different footwear doesn't count.

Archives offer artists, historians rich source of inspiration
By Jessica Lacher-Feldman
The wonder of archives is that they allow us to be sanctioned "snoopers," reading personal letters and diaries that breathe new life into some of history's most interesting personalities. Some of those archived letters—such as those between artist Georgia O'Keeffe and her eventual husband, photographer and art promoter Alfred Stieglitz, and to suffragist Anita Pollitzer—are rare glimpses into private conversations seldom seen in today's digital age.
These penned messages are the inspiration for the Letters from Georgia song cycle by Kevin Puts '94E, '99E (DMA), to be premiered on Saturday, November 12, in Rochester, and on Monday, November 14, at Lincoln Center in New York City.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, Puts wrote the piece specifically for the Eastman Philharmonia, a student orchestra at his alma mater, the Eastman School of Music, and for another notable alumna, world-renowned soprano Renée Fleming '83E (MM), who holds the title of Distinguished Visiting Artist at Eastman. It's their first collaboration.
Handwritten correspondence between O'Keeffe, Stieglitz, and Pollitzer are examples of countless archival collections that are housed in special collections all over the world. In this age of emails and text messages, some archivists fear that the old-fashioned letter is dead. For them, written letters do something more than text messages and quick conversations do: they offer thought provoking insights into the inner lives of the writers.
Archivists also point out that special collections libraries support the work of historians by preserving those insights. But that's just the beginning. Like Puts, playwrights, poets, artists, and others can also turn to those libraries for creative inspiration.
The Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation at the University's River Campus Libraries is home to a significant cache of letters from Steiglitz to the architect, author, and theater designer Claude Fayette Bragdon (1866-1946). Bragdon met Stieglitz and O'Keeffe in the mid-1920s, when the three were residents of the Shelton Hotel in New York City. The Bragdon Family Papers contain the personal papers of Claude Bragdon, including communication with Steiglitz, as well as letters of Bragdon's parents, sister, wives, and children.
The Alfred Steiglitz/Georgia O'Keeffe Archive at Yale University's Beinecke Library holds the other side of Steiglitz–Bragdon correspondence. Some copies of these letters from Yale are included in the Bragdon Family Papers.
Jessica Lacher-Feldman is the Joseph N. Lambert and Harold B. Schleifer Director of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation at the University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries.

"In 10 sessions you'll feel a difference, in 20 you'll see a difference, and in 30 you'll have a whole new body." – Joseph H. Pilates
Rachel is a great Pilates teacher. She gives you her full attention. She is ready to modify an exercise to help you not to tense up. She suggests exercises as soon as you express the need to have a better balance for instance. She has an amazing knowledge of her discipline: she can answer any question I ask. It is a big treat to take Pilates classes with her. Sometimes, I will feel a tension, the instructor instantly modifies the exercise with a slight change for instance the hands will not grip the handles but hold instead some little balls. If I relate the slightest discomfort, the teacher is immediately interested: she is learning something about how my body reacts to an exercise and what is going on. If I mention a difficulty I have in daily life, she will nod and a little while later I will have to do an exercise which will help me to deal with the difficulty I alluded to. I am learning so much about how my body functions: it empowers me. I really feel so thankful to my teacher. ~Celiane L.
I had never taken Pilates before working with Rachel. Though learning Pilates could have been an intimidating experience, she always made me feel very comfortable and helped me through the moves, especially when I was unsure of myself. She has a way of teaching that is motivating yet calming. Through speaking of her own experiences, she makes the student feel at ease and very capable. Rachel is a great mentor who I would recommend to take you through the journey of Pilates. ~Jenny Bird
Starting Pilates was a great experience because I had never done it before nor anything like it. Rachel slowly walked me through the different exercises, names of them, and proper way to perform them to get the most out of it. Through the process I learned a lot about what my body was capable of without pain, struggle, and aching. I hurt my groin muscle playing soccer and after 2 sessions with Rachel I was back to normal. She focused on my needs and what my body could do. After months of Pilates I gained an awareness for my body, became more flexible, lost weight, and learned how to use muscles I've never used before. ~Alexis Marzullo
In Pilates, I'm able to do exercises I thought were completely out of reach when I started two years ago. Rachel is a great instructor and personal trainer. In group classes, she encourages everyone, no matter what level, but she also challenges us. I feel I always learn something new in her classes and continue to improve. She is really knowledgeable about Pilates and great explaining the physiology behind each exercise. Plus Rachel's classes are a lot of fun. Her one-on-one sessions are a good way to go more into depth and understand how to dig even deeper. Even after just a few Reformer sessions, I was really able to notice a difference in my Pilates' workouts. ~Petra Kaiser

After being turned away from one campsite, because they had chosen to close without informing ACSI, we managed to get thrown off another because Clare had the temerity to complain about the disgusting washing up area and lack of hot water. Before we left, Clare and Jack scrumped as many mandarins as they dared and we fled to Pompei.
This is a small well-ordered rectangular plot with 27 pitches surrounded on two sides by 20 self-catering rooms.. It is directly opposite one of the entrances to Roman Pompei. Vesuvius looms large and dominates the landscape with its head in the clouds.
Although we arrived early, we decided to wait until tomorrow before visiting the preserved city.
Ben and I went off to look for a kettle at Carrefour, it didn't have one but it did have a 1000 watt electric hob for 15 Euros. Perfect – we already have two kettles. I also bought two 5m extension leads. Back at the site I swapped the plug on one extension lead for a UK plug. So far so good. The UK three square pin socket in the van is just behind the front passenger seat, so I ran the extension lead out of the passenger door, over the top of the van, along the top of the wind out awning, and into the tent awning. So far so good. I unpacked the hob, which is delightfully compact and ran into my first problem. The hob has a 2 round pin round plug. The extension socket has three round pins all in a line.
Back to Carrefour for an adaptor.
Problem number two. Italian three round pin plugs and sockets come in two sizes, large and small rated 10A and 16A. My extension lead was 10A and I bought a 16A adapter. Hook-up is only 6A and the hob 4 or 5 amps, so current shouldn't be a problem.
Back to Carrefour.
I found a 10/16A socket.
So, I now have a continental plug into a 16A Italian adaptor into a 10/16A Italian socket wired onto a 10A Italian 5m extension lead, connected to another 10A Italian 5m extension lead with a 13A British plug.
The hob works. Our 12 volt kettle is now redundant.

I was just pressing the forward key but not long, maybe for a second and stop, and press it again, and stop...etc.
I guess your script is based on the time you press the key, not the distance you do with your car ?
It's indeed slower than people doing it the good way, but it's an easy way to complete levels
