Stroz Friedberg today:
Stroz Friedberg, an Aon company, is a specialized risk management firm built to help clients solve the complex challenges prevalent in today's digital, connected, and regulated business world.
Our focus is on cybersecurity, with leading experts in digital forensics, incident response, and security science; investigation; eDiscovery; intellectual property; and due diligence.
Our aim is to guide businesses through the maze of complexities found at the intersection of law, technology, investigations, compliance and security science. We seek truth—uncovering facts and evidence ethically—to help organizations address their most significant risk issues. Sometimes we are called in after an incident to perform an investigation, while other times we help clients assess how prepared and protected they are from threats. Our clients call us, and we're at our best, when the stakes are high and the potential for damage is great.
At Stroz Friedberg, we are united by a common goal—to maximize the health of an organization, ensuring its longevity, protection and resilience.
The Stroz Friedberg difference:
The skills, backgrounds, and integrity of our people, combined with our industry-leading proprietary incident response and digital forensics tools, are a powerful force when 'getting it right' matters most. Our teams have deep scientific roots: we are elite forensic analysts, computer scientists specializing in malware decryption, decoding and reverse engineering, Certified Information Systems Security Professionals, and Information Privacy Professionals. We are ISO 27001 (Cyber) certified across multiple service lines (cyber resilience and digital forensics) in seven U.S. cities and the UK, where we have also obtained Cyber Essentials certification. Additionally via our Gotham Digital Science subsidiaries, we are certified to offer the industry leading CREST (the Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers), STAR (Simulated Target Attack and Response), and CBEST cybersecurity testing services.
We are experts in eDiscovery (our data centers are SSAE16 certified), helping organizations uncover evidence and comply with litigation-related discovery and disclosure requirements. We are also experienced in due diligence and compliance and work proactively to collect and analyze data to surface meaningful business and marketplace intelligence.
We also have unique experience with law enforcement. We are former members of the FBI and CIA, former attorneys from the Department of Justice, as well as internationally respected former prosecutors, litigators, regulators and members of law enforcement. Our investigation and intelligence teams have Certified Fraud Examiners and licensed investigators.
We've worked on proactive and reactive security and risk management engagements for some of the largest, highest-profile organizations in the world. We've also helped law enforcement navigate some of the most complex and highest stakes investigations in the headlines.
Our history:
Long before cybersecurity was mainstream, Ed Stroz and Eric Friedberg were helping the U.S. government tackle computer crime. Ed Stroz spent 16 years as an FBI agent and was appointed to form a Computer Crime Squad in New York City (only the 3rd in the country at the time). Eric Friedberg spent 12 years as federal prosecutor and led the Computer Crime Unit in New York City, prosecuting numerous cases involving cybercrime e-discovery, digital forensics, intellectual property and online privacy and security.
Toward the end of his FBI tenure, Stroz saw how pivotal digital evidence had become to uncovering the truth and prosecuting crimes. He knew this trend would be a game-changer in the private sector and believed he was uniquely positioned to share his expertise and help industry adapt and thrive in a digital and connected world. He started Stroz Associates and then quickly partnered with Friedberg in 2000 to form Stroz Friedberg. Combining their expertise and vision they built a firm fit for purpose – to help businesses prepare for and mitigate against risks born out of a digital and connected world.
Since its founding, our firm has continued to make the right investments to enhance our ability to serve our clients. On October 11, 2016, Aon announced an agreement to acquire Stroz Friedberg and all of its subsidiaries with the acquisition completed on October 31, 2016. On May 10, 2017, Aon appointed Jason J. Hogg as Chief Executive Officer of Aon Cyber Solutions and Stroz Friedberg, an Aon company, succeeding Michael Patsalos-Fox.
Today, Stroz Friedberg is a firm of 500 people worldwide, and growing.

Hearts have injury concerns ahead of tomorrow's league match with Ross County as head coach Ian Cathro waits for news on four senior players.
Jamie Walker, Aaron Hughes, Don Cowie and Bjorn Johnsen are all rated touch-and-go for the game at Tynecastle.
Walker was taken off against Partick Thistle on Saturday suffering blurred vision. Hughes pulled out 45 minutes before kick-off with a calf problem, whilst Cowie and Johnsen were precluded by rib and hamstring injuries respectively.
The quartet will be given until the last minute to prove their fitness before Cathro decides on his team. Striker Esmael Goncalves is suspended following his red card against Partick last weekend.
"This is one of the reasons we needed to add players and build a more balanced squad," Cathro told the Evening News.
"Defence is the one area where we don't have the balance we'd like. It brings challenges and change and we need to deal with making the right decision.
"Don is pretty much back in full training so we'll assess him ahead of tomorrow. We're still looking at Jamie to see how he is. He had contact and a bit of blurred vision.
"We need to be careful over the next 24 hours in case it was a concussion of sorts. We're unsure if it was. You need to do the sensible thing and look after the players – that's why he was taken off. Naturally, these guys have that in-built determination to keep going but, if there's any risk, then we can't take it.
"There are slight issues with Aaron and Bjorn. They are a possibility for tomorrow. We just need to make the right decisions regarding where they are."
Left-back Lennard Sowah deputised for Hughes in central defence against Partick, while centre-back Krystian Nowak was deployed in midfield.
"Lennard was probably the most ready player to fulfil that role," explained Cathro.
"We had Krystian playing in midfield and we had our reasons for that. Lennard has played in that position before. Tomorrow is a different game and we'll look at the whole picture differently, so it could be different."
Midfielder Prince Buaben is close to a return after a groin problem.
"Prince is no longer injured – it's just about his conditioning. He's working hard and it close to being an option for us," added Cathro.
Tynecastle's pitch has been relaid over the last ten days and is now ready for use after a six-figure overhaul. Weather permitting, Hearts will train on it for the first time today and their players are eager to get on to the new surface.
"It will be a massive help to us. The club have made a tremendous effort and investment to deal with the situation quickly. Everybody involved in getting it ready has been a big positive," said Cathro.
"The players are definitely looking forward to it. It will be different to how they remember the pitch. It's our place, it's our home, we will be the people who feel comfortable there."
Despite many pitches looking worse for wear at this stage of the season, Cathro is determined not to change his coaching philosophy. He insisted he will continue to demand a technical, passing style from Hearts.
"I haven't changed my mind. I wasn't lying before. If there are adjustments it's in dealing with that type of [more direct] play, not playing like that.
"It's a game of decision-making, trying to make the big decisions. Every person will have their own thoughts on the best way to win, because that's the object of the game – they're motivated because they believe that's the best way to win.
"I don't believe that's the best way. So I couldn't do that. That would be me changing myself – and that would be unnatural. That would suggest that I'm not ready to be in the position to make these decisions.
"There has to always be a blend and you have to be flexible. You play the game you are in. For sure, everyone and every person will have their preferences, but what we have to do is how I see things. There are parts which have to be respected, adjusted to and dealt with.
"There is a high percentage of games which is direct ball and second ball, so on and so on. We need to be more resistant to those things, whilst making the right decisions in games."

The last of the new releases over at Ellie Inspired today is the Sandcastle dress and Mini Sandcastle dress for dolls. This one is Sarah's Fourth of July dress this year. I love that this dress also has an option for a full smocked bodice. I have some big plans for a Christmas dress with this pattern! I am hoping to start on it next month but I will see how times goes. The dress sizes go from newborn to 5.
I love the traditional collar and elastic cuffed sleeves on this dress. The fabric we use dis nice and light weight for the hot summer summer days. To give the skirt on the dress a full look I added a pettie skirt underneath. This girl loves her twirly dresses!
I even made smocked pockets! Sarah loves them most of all.
Now for the dolly size ones! I really love to make matching dresses and Sarah right now is loving her Bitty Baby so that was the first request! (This is another pattern of mine through Ellie Inspired!)
Miss Elsa is coming with us to the fire works this year so a matching dress was a must I was told. I am thinking we need a new Doll Carrier from the LTTS book. I am sure Prince C would love one too.
I was told Isabelle would be jealous if she didn't match the other two girl's so her dress was a must too! I made her's sleeveless and left the collar off as well.
Happy Sewing!!

Microsoft's Kinect device is a great device for modifications, as we have documented here on Geeky Gadgets publishing just a few articles from the huge number of hacks and mods that have been carried out on Microsoft's Kinect since its launch a few weeks ago.
If you didn't know already Microsoft restricted the camera resolution to 320 x 240 to allow multiple USB devices to work at one time. However the camera is apparently capable of 640 x 480.
Joystiq has reported that Microsoft is currently working on a new update that will allow the camera to use both its full resolution and by able to accommodate multiple USB devices.
Its still unclear though as to whether the new update will help or hinder the accuracy of the Kinect device as it will now increase the from 15MB/s of data 35MB/s which might slow down processing as it will now have 4 times as much data to process in game.Filed Under: Gaming News

Echoer is truly proud to be partnering with the Montreal Jazz Festival and The Montreal Gazette this year. What started off as a pitch to the world's largest jazz festival only a few months ago is now a reality. Starting today Montreal and the JazzFest venues will be filled with a true wealth of content: event listings, reviews and images from the Gazette, tips, "relevant" Twitter content, and last but not least, the thoughts and discoveries of festival-goers. And the visual icing on the cake: Festival and Gazette content will appear in bespoke echo colors, sometimes inside specially "skinned" echo spaces.
What we are doing with the JazzFest is extremely cool and useful. It's also unique. I've been playing around with the first wave of content, and Echoer really is the perfect interactive guide to what is happening in and around the JazzFest. There's no other platform that can present you with so much varied and useful info/opinions relating to each location; and then allow you to interact with it and share it with others.
I ask that you (and everyone you know) explore the JazzFest area in Echoer; and if you are attending, have a great time and let us know how we can make your experience even better.
– Daniel Cowen (Co-Founder and CEO of Echoer)

What our customers say about us
We look back at more than 12 years of cooperation with you. A partnership which is distinguished by mutual trust and the desire to achieve a common purpose. We are sure that in Thyracont Vacuum Instruments we have found a competent partner and look forward to the next 40 years of excellent cooperation.
Time and again our service personnel are asked for Thyracont compact vacuum meters. The handheld gauges are easy to use and are a great help for our field service staff.
We had a line down and we were in urgent need of a new vacuum transducer. Thyracont responded immediately and sent a replacement and we were able to install the replacement gauge in under 24 hours. This fast response and qualified assistance saved us a lot of time and money.
For more than 10 years Thyracont has been a reliable supplier. To react quickly to customer enquiries, we often have to bring forward delivery dates. Thyracont staff work with us to meet our delivery requirements. This flexibility really makes our daily work a lot easier and our customers happy.
Immediately I had a qualified contact person on the phone who answered my questions. That was a pleasant surprise for me.
Thank you very much! That is first-class support!

I like to talk about progress. This blog is named for our forward walk with Jesus. But when it comes to the church, too often we think we can float along, without any real direction or effort. We like to drift. The problem is that when we drift, we automatically go backwards. The sobering truth is, if you're not progressing, you're automatically regressing. So my desire for my church is to be intentional about being healthy and growing the way God intends.
Progress in the Local Church
Over the years, I have been fascinated with how many models and approaches there are to being and doing church. I love being a student of the Bible regarding the church, and I can't help but watch as church models come and go, even within my lifetime.
More interesting is that the more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm thankful for the idea that our methods must change while our message must not. We are here to uphold the gospel. So when it comes to being the church, it matters not only what we do, but how we do it.
There are all kinds of advice out there telling us to how be relevant and stay relevant as culture shifts. There are also plenty of advocates to teach us how to lead and maintain a healthy, growing church in the midst of changing times. Ultimately what matters are the principles that God has clearly outlined in His Word. If we desire to be His church, which He even calls His bride, our local churches' existence will be based on His principles and driven by His purposes.
The Bible teaches basic principles regarding how to be intentional and strategic in making progress as a healthy church. In fact, plenty of church leaders use these ideas to equip their congregations, although the wording and order may vary. Today we will look at the primary consideration: our purpose in being the church.
God's Word has much to say about the purpose of the church. The New Testament is rich in these concepts. And the bottom line is that if we don't understand what we are to do, and the reason why we're doing what we do, then nothing else matters. Our churches have to be driven by what Jesus has said are His purposes for His church, or we're not Christian communities.
Many have described these purposes or functions of the church. Some have a list of seven items, others have three, but there is general agreement on the basic functions of what the church is supposed to be about. They include evangelism, fellowship, discipleship, service, and worship. Some list prayer separately; I would maintain that prayer supports each of these purposes.
These functions of the local church are taught in the Bible, and specifically, we see them in the Great Commission, and what Jesus Himself called the Great Commandments.
Here's the Great Commission:
The 11 disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. (17) When they saw Him, they worshiped, but some doubted. (18) Then Jesus came near and said to them, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations [Evangelism/Missions], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit [Fellowship/Community], (20) teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you [Discipleship/Teaching]. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28.16-20, HCSB, notes added)
And the Great Commandments:
And one of them, an expert in the law, asked a question to test Him: (36) "Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?"
(37) He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind [Worship/Exaltation]. (38) This is the greatest and most important command. (39) The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself [Service/Care]. (40) All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands." (Matthew 22.35-40, HCSB, notes added)
Again, these five basic ideas are all over the New Testament. But to miss any of them makes us an imbalanced, unhealthy church.
These functions of the church are our purpose. It's why we are the church. Next time we'll move forward to consider our set of values.
[This is part 1 of 5 in a series titled, Principles for Progress in the Church.]

American Footprint says:
As I understand it, nuclear power is expensive, but a lot of this has to do with the fact that no nuke plants have been built in the past 25 years and a lot of old hippies are unduly alarmist about nuclear waste.
Yeah, those old hippies. Just so alarmist about how to take care of nuclear waste for the next thousand years. How silly.
And how powerful. Just think of it: a bunch of pot-smoking hippies stopped an entire billion-dollar industry. Probably just blew smoke in the face of the NRC. Would that it were so.
Seriously, I'd love to believe that nuclear power was practical but that pesky issue of what to do with the nuclear garbage is a real one and nobody seems to have a clue about how to solve it. We can't seem to come up with reasonable plans to "dispose" (i.e. safeguard for thousands of years) of the stuff we already have. To expand our nuclear capability without a real answer to that waste problem seems fairly radical.

Gorgeous dress! I bought this in May 2014 from Bravura Boutique in Snellville, GA before I moved to New York. I only wore the dress to the ceremony, and changed into another dress for the reception. I got SO many compliments on this dress, as it is absolutely stunning. It's just as gorgeous on the model as it is in person. It has asymmetrically draped net fabric, a strapless sweetheart neckline, a drop waist, fit and flare skirt, and corset back closure; as well as a chapel length train, and ruched bodice. The Label size is a 12, I am normally a size 8-10, but lacing the corset back up tightly made it fit perfectly. This dress can definitely fit someone is the size 8-10 range up to a size 12. Per the Mori Lee size chart, a size 12 dress measurements are: B/W/H 38/29/41. I'm 5'9 without shoes and my measurements are 36/27/39. No alterations have been done to the dress. I wore it for my July 24, 2014 wedding. There are no visible stains.
There have been no alterations made to the dress, the dress is bustled.
The dress was cleaned and steamed prior to the ceremony.

I've now completed about two-thirds of my latest project, a book called A Nation of Entrepreneurs, and have begun to confirm some of my hypotheses about the entrepreneurial experience in America.
For example, if you asked the average American what makes an entrepreneur successful, he might point to the abilities of the entrepreneur himself. Leadership, brains, grit—that sort of thing. Let's call this the Jobian Theory of entrepreneurial success. It's a perfectly reasonable position: Smarter, more talented, hard-working people tend to do better in every walk of life, not just entrepreneurial activities.
But then there are those successful entrepreneurs who don't have many, or in some cases, most of those skills. I call them "reluctant" or "accidental" or maybe just lucky entrepreneurs, and profile several of them in Nation. They tend to be minding their own business, making a living, and stumble upon some innovation or novel business model that is so powerful that it appears to carry them to success, despite themselves.
We all know someone like this, someone who we might not trust to order our lunch but who is rich and successful anyway. Let's call this the Business Model Theory of entrepreneurial success.
So we've got two factors, personal talent and quality of business model, which seem to determine success. In the investment world these two elements are sometimes referred to as "jockey and horse," and inevitably the jockey gets more of the focus and drives more of the investment dollars than the horse. It's entrepreneur over idea, so to speak. I don't know if this prioritization makes sense, nor am I sure anyone in an industry that only sees returns on about half of their investments knows for sure, but that's the best current thinking.
My research in Nation suggests, however, that there is a third, related, but perhaps more powerful element of entrepreneurial success than is explained by talent or model, jockey or horse.
In that regard, I recently heard economist Russ Roberts interview Bill James, the sabermetrician who began publishing crazy-cool statistical abstracts of baseball in 1977. James was hired by the Red Sox in 2003 to apply his statistical magic to help them win pennants and World Series which, by all accounts, seems to have worked.
|One of my favorite books
of all time
What was the greatest lesson, Roberts asked James, in moving from the preparation of statistical abstracts about player performance to actually observing the workings of a Major League organization. James answered this:
The most surprising thing was an understanding of how many people contribute to a championship. Literally, it's impossible to explain to an outsider how many people it requires, doing how many different jobs at a high level in order for a baseball team to win a world championship. The number of little streams that feed into that river is almost incalculable.
If you take it on a single player . . . Dustin Pedroia . . . you have to look at everyone who had a big influence . . . This includes his minor league managers and his minor league coaches. It may include scouts . . . his father and his high school coaches and all of those people had some impact on the Red Sox eventually winning world championships. . . .
What James has so nicely articulated is the third, and I think best theory to explain entrepreneurial success. Let's call it the Theory of Community. It doesn't negate the Jobian Theory or the Business Model Theory, but it accepts that 1) every entrepreneur is limited in some way and will require help, 2) every business model needs constant care and an eventual pivot, and 3) the most successful entrepreneurs are those who are most successful in building and leveraging community. It's community that continually supports the entrepreneur, community that allows the business model to grow and adapt.
This lesson comes through time and again in the stories I'm writing for A Nation of Entrepreneurs.
If you were actually to draw, in Bill James's language, all of the tributaries that flow to the iPhone, they would be almost incalculable. It's easiest for us to apply the Jobian Theory to explain the success of this product, but it is neither accurate nor satisfactory.
Likewise, since it's Super Bowl weekend, we might ask if Tom Brady would be Tom Brady if he'd been drafted by the Cleveland Browns. And would Bill Belichick still be Bill Belichick without Tom Brady? It's talent, a great business model, luck--but most of all, it's the community created by Brady, Belichick, and Kraft, and the incalculable tributaries that flow into it.
What's the number one skill of a successful entrepreneur? Identifying, building, and leveraging community. Optimizing the positive tributaries that flow into the business. I can't prove it, but I know it.

The Natural Returns to St. Louis (Charles Krauthammer, 8/17/07, Real Clear Politics)
In the fable, the farm boy phenom makes his way to the big city to amaze the world with his arm. At a stop at a fair on the train ride to Chicago, he strikes out the Babe Ruth of his time on three blazing pitches. Enter the Dark Lady. Before he can reach the stadium for his tryout, she shoots him and leaves him for dead.Posted by Orrin Judd at August 17, 2007 9:13 AM
It is 16 years later and Roy Hobbs returns, but now as a hitter and outfielder. (He can never pitch again because of the wound.) He leads his team to improbable glory, ending the tale with a titanic home run that, in the now-iconic movie image, explodes the stadium lights in a dazzling cascade of white.
In real life, the kid doesn't look like Robert Redford, but he throws like Roy Hobbs: unhittable, unstoppable. In his rookie year, appropriately the millennial year 2000, he throws it by everyone. He pitches the St. Louis Cardinals to a division title, playing so well that his manager anoints him starter for the opening game of the playoffs, a position of honor and -- for 21-year-old Rick Ankiel -- fatal exposure.

A short public-service notice for anyone who is planning to attent the bloggers' meetup with Shel Israel (co-author of Naked Conversations) in Toronto on March 6th – Alec Saunders notes that the venue has changed. It was supposed to be the Peel Pub, but that venerable bar is no more and has been replaced by Filthy Mcnasty's – who are apparently so McNasty that they don't return phone calls. The new venue is Shoeless Joe's on King Street east of Spadina. A map is here (Alec used Mapquest, but as anyone who has seen the Lazy Sunday video knows, Google Maps is the best – double true)

Wouldn't it be nice if you could create a document(s) on your computer and have it sent via postal service, fax, email or short message service (SMS) to cell phones?
When your business first started you could afford to manually enclose your invoices, monthly newsletter or other printed matter in an envelope and even lick the stamps and lick the envelope a few times. But now with 100, 500 or 10,000 customers – licking all those stamps is getting a bit nasty. Not too mention taking so much time.
Esker on Demand Office recently debut, and joins Kinkos and Mimeo which provide similar services/software PC to print document services. Kinkos, Memo and other services, however, only take care of getting your document printed and delivered by mail or just printed. If you want to have it faxed, emailed and SMS'd to others you can't.
Esker on Demand for Office is an on-line document delivery service, that enables users of the most common desktop applications to choose among physical mail, fax, email and SMS as document delivery options.
"With a few clicks, Esker on Demand for Office lets a user send either one or thousands of physical mailings, faxes, emails or even SMS messages, directly from a word processor or via a web browser," said Mitch Baxter, Executive Vice President of Business Development for Esker. "Not only does it save organizations a great deal of time, but eliminates the need for fax machines, printers, even envelopes, it's like having your own personal ?virtual? mailroom staff."
According to a recent poll by Esker, 73% of organizations still rely on word processors like Microsoft Word or WordPerfect to generate business documents such as invoices, purchase orders, contracts, remittance documents, and order confirmations.
"Esker has been a provider of automated document delivery for enterprise applications with Esker DeliveryWare," said Baxter. "But we saw a gap in the organization where users at the desktop level were still generating a lot of documents from their desktop apps and sending them by hand. Esker on Demand for Office can eliminate this inefficiency and make life easier for those in the company responsible for transactional and bulk business correspondence."
74% of organizations' billing and invoice managers in the Esker poll also reported that the responsibility for both generating and mailing their documents falls entirely within their own departments.
"Transactional mail processing is an area in particular where organizations are losing a great deal of time and money by handling it manually," said Baxter. "Although mail houses have long been available, many don't do transactional mail like invoicing, and those who do try to force companies into long-term contracts, high setup fees and volume minimums. With Esker on Demand for Office, organizations can get all the mail processing capabilities they need without any such commitments. We think of it as mail automation for the masses."
As organizations look for ways to minimize costs and streamline operations, interest in software "as a service" is increasing. According to IT analyst Gartner, the widespread adoption of IT infrastructure outsourcing (from data centers to help desks), coupled with the acceptance of outsourcing as a business practice to increase focus and competitiveness, has paved the way for organizations to consider outsourcing the next layer in the IT stack ó their business applications. Gartner forecasts a five-year growth rate for enterprise application outsourcing that exceeds 6%.1
How it works
Esker on Demand for Office combines the power and intelligence of Esker DeliveryWare with a worldwide network built by Esker for sending documents via mail, fax, email and SMS messages. Monitored 24/7/365, the network has processed close to five million pages of customer traffic to date. And, because the service integrates with Esker DeliveryWare, the Esker document automation software for enterprise applications, organizations can have one central platform for all of their document delivery.
The Esker on Demand for Office service can be accessed in three ways:
Via the web – log-in on the Esker on Demand for Office web site and upload documents for physical mail, fax, email and SMS delivery.
Via any desktop application – download a small print-driver application and access Esker on Demand for Office as a print option within any desktop application.
Via mail merge functions in word processing applications – download a small print-driver application, create a mail merge, and print to Esker on Demand for Office to automate bulk, personalized physical mailings.
Pricing and availability
Users can buy document delivery packs or contact Esker to set up an account and be billed on a monthly basis. Pricing depends on the recipient location and medium chosen. The service is free to set up and charges are 100% variable (not fixed), based on actual documents sent. For example, faxes sent anywhere in the United States cost 10 cents per page, and letter-size first-class mail costs as little as 57 cents per letter (including postage). For those establish a credit line with Esker, there is a minimum monthly charge of $100 regardless of volume.
Esker intelligent document delivery solutions include:
Esker DeliveryWare – a single and universal information exchange platform that captures, formats, converts, routes and stores documents – automatically – from any enterprise application. It features the industry's broadest range of delivery media and file format conversion options and is the only solution with the DeliveryWare Rules Engine for document processing intelligence that eliminates the need for custom programming.
Esker on Demand – document delivery services enabling physical mail, fax, email and SMS delivery from enterprise and desktop applications with no printers, mailroom equipment, fax machines, office supplies, etc. The worldwide Esker on Demand network can be accessed via Esker DeliveryWare or on-line via Esker on Demand for Office.

Create custom artifacts for your DevTest Labs virtual machine
Watch the following video for an overview of the steps described in this article:
You can use artifacts to deploy and set up your application after you provision a VM. An artifact consists of an artifact definition file and other script files that are stored in a folder in a Git repository. Artifact definition files consist of JSON and expressions that you can use to specify what you want to install on a VM. For example, you can define the name of an artifact, a command to run, and parameters that are available when the command is run. You can refer to other script files within the artifact definition file by name.
Artifact definition file format
The following example shows the sections that make up the basic structure of a definition file:
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-devtestlab/master/schemas/2016-11-28/dtlArtifacts.json",
"title": "",
"description": "",
"iconUri": "",
"targetOsType": "",
"parameters": {
"<parameterName>": {
"type": "",
"displayName": "",
"description": ""
"runCommand": {
"commandToExecute": ""
|Element name
|Location of the JSON schema file. The JSON schema file can help you test the validity of the definition file.
|Name of the artifact displayed in the lab.
|Description of the artifact displayed in the lab.
|URI of the icon displayed in the lab.
|Operating system of the VM where the artifact is installed. Supported options are Windows and Linux.
|Values that are provided when the artifact install command is run on a machine. This helps you customize your artifact.
|Artifact install command that is executed on a VM.
Artifact parameters
In the parameters section of the definition file, specify which values a user can input when they install an artifact. You can refer to these values in the artifact install command.
To define parameters, use the following structure:
"parameters": {
"<parameterName>": {
"type": "<type-of-parameter-value>",
"displayName": "<display-name-of-parameter>",
"description": "<description-of-parameter>"
|Element name
|Type of parameter value. See the following list for the allowed types.
|Name of the parameter that is displayed to a user in the lab.
|Description of the parameter that is displayed in the lab.
Allowed types are:
- string (any valid JSON string)
- int (any valid JSON integer)
- bool (any valid JSON Boolean)
- array (any valid JSON array)
Artifact expressions and functions
You can use expressions and functions to construct the artifact install command. Expressions are enclosed with brackets ([ and ]), and are evaluated when the artifact is installed. Expressions can appear anywhere in a JSON string value. Expressions always return another JSON value. If you need to use a literal string that starts with a bracket ([), you must use two brackets ([[). Typically, you use expressions with functions to construct a value. Just like in JavaScript, function calls are formatted as functionName(arg1, arg2, arg3).
The following list shows common functions:
- parameters(parameterName): Returns a parameter value that is provided when the artifact command is run.
- concat(arg1, arg2, arg3,….. ): Combines multiple string values. This function can take a variety of arguments.
The following example shows how to use expressions and functions to construct a value:
runCommand": {
"commandToExecute": "[concat('powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy bypass \"& ./startChocolatey.ps1'
, ' -RawPackagesList ', parameters('packages')
, ' -Username ', parameters('installUsername')
, ' -Password ', parameters('installPassword'))]"
Create a custom artifact
- Install a JSON editor. You need a JSON editor to work with artifact definition files. We recommend using Visual Studio Code, which is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X.
- Get a sample artifactfile.json definition file. Check out the artifacts created by the DevTest Labs team in our GitHub repository. We have created a rich library of artifacts that can help you create your own artifacts. Download an artifact definition file and make changes to it to create your own artifacts.
- Make use of IntelliSense. Use IntelliSense to see valid elements that you can use to construct an artifact definition file. You also can see the different options for values of an element. For example, when you edit the targetOsType element, IntelliSense shows you two choices, for Windows or Linux.
Store the artifact in the public Git repository for DevTest Labs or your own Git repository. In the public repository, you can view artifacts shared by others that you can use directly or customize them to suit your needs.
- Create a separate directory for each artifact. The directory name should be the same as the artifact name.
- Store the artifact definition file (artifactfile.json) in the directory that you created.
Store the scripts that are referenced from the artifact install command.
Here is an example of how an artifact folder might look:
- If you are using your own repository to store artifacts, add the repository to the lab by following instructions in the article: Add a Git repository for artifacts and templates.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of SandRidge Mississippian Trust I (NYSE:SDT) dropped as much as 14% today after the company announced a distribution and operational updates.
So what: The trust's distribution will be $0.6029 per unit, which is down from $0.6112 last quarter. The lower distribution is because oil production was lower than expected, at 102,000 barrels. Wells are completed, so the trust expects production to decline each quarter going forward.
Now what: As a result of the disappointing quarter, both Wells Fargo and Raymond James downgraded the stock, which hasn't helped today. The trust's current yield of 17% looks attractive, but given the downward trajectory, I don't think the payouts are worth paying for right now. I'm definitely not a buyer today, and will look for investments with increasing payouts long term instead of this trust.

Each day, students have 30 minutes of class time to enjoy reading their books. As they go, students sticky-note their thoughts, observations about the characters, and questions about historical references.
Students have also been categorizing their sticky notes as literal, inferential, or critical, helping them to better understand the different levels of thinking involved when we interpret texts.
On any given day, students can be found reading in various spots around the room. On the left, Antigona decided she was most comfortable at the high top table, whereas Noah wanted to read on the floor. There is great energy in a room full of readers (even if no one is speaking)!
The second part of each class period is giving students time to build a warehouse of resources that help them understand the historical context of their novels, events they are also studying in World History. So far, we have studied how the migration of the Germanic Tribes affected the evolution of the English language and how the Edict of Expulsion explains the beginnings of the Reconquista in Spain. Next? The Bubonic Plague!
We also used our very own BHHS statues of the Knight and the Baron to give us insight into creating historical fiction. Below, York and Amari decide on the best angle from which to photograph the Knight for their story, and to the right you can see part of Georgia's story about the Baron.
Here's what the students have to say about our unit so far:

FOUR of Bill Shankly's greatest players will appear in a show when the tartan tones of their legendary manager will resonate around Southport Theatre.
Archive clips of Shankly, from an interview only now released publicly, will feature in The Bill Shankly Anniversary Show on October 7.
Kop heroes Ian St John, Ian Callaghan, Ron Yeats and Chris Lawler will be live on stage in a memorial tribute to one of football's most charismatic manager, who died 30 years ago this autumn.
The memories and anecdotes of the four former players will be interwoven through the two and a half hour production with Shankly's own words, extracted from never-heard before interviews with Shankly.
The interviews were conducted by blind former headmaster Frank McFarlane and broadcaster John Keith, the show's writer and presenter.
Mr Keith, presenter of City Talk's weekend chat show Strictly John Keith, said: "We are indebted to Frank for letting us use his interview with Bill which he did in 1979 as part of a series of talks with sporting celebrities for the visually impaired.
"We have blended Frank's material with some of my own interviews with Bill from my days as a Daily Express sportswriter and we also hear Bill's wife Nessie.
"I know it will rekindle many memories for the former players on stage, some funny, some sad, and I'm sure the audience will find it captivating."
Shankly talks on topics including how he landed the Liverpool manager's job in 1959, the players he signed to revolutionise the club's fortunes, and the Liverpool player he rated even better than England's World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore.
Mr Keith described the tapes as "manna from heaven" when there discovery was first revealed by the Visiter in May.
Tickets for the show which is for one night only on Friday, October 7 at 7.30pm are £16 or £13 concessions.
For tickets call 0844 847 2380 or visit www.southporttheatre.org.uk They can be bought at the theatre's Box Office from 11am to 4pm.

Warriors no longer perfect
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Niskayuna's chance to keep its undefeated season fell short Wednesday, but despite the 3-2 loss to Saratoga Springs, Silver Warriors field hockey coach Alison Broomhead felt her team learned a lesson that could result in more wins later this season.
"It was a good loss," Broomhead said. When asked what her team did well during the match, Broomhead said "Nothing," but she characterized the game as a wake-up call that they were getting too comfortable.
"Even though the team continued to work hard throughout the game, they started off slow." Broomhead said. "Once they realized what was at stake, they picked up the pace. But now it's time to go into practice and rebuild."
Saratoga coach Jo-Anne Mostag saw team's her victory as a sign of progress.
"This win feels good because not only is it on our home field, but just shows us that we're getting better," Mostag said. "... Both teams had great teamwork in the second half, but I think we pulled it together a little more. The key in any win is confidence and that helped us keep our lead."
The game started with both teams playing great defense. Midfielder Samantha Petruzzo of Saratoga (10-2 overall, 9-2 Suburban Council) was able to push through offensive players Kelsey McDermott and Mia DiRienzo to give teammate Lindsay Rutz the ball, only to have it knocked back out by the Niskayuna defense. That gave Alexa Angerami of Niskayuna possession, but a scoring chance was lost. Saratoga regained possession.
Niskayuna goalie Emily King saved two shots taken by Saratoga midfielder Emily Petruccione. But with three minutes left in the first half, Niskayuna's defense couldn't hold back midfielder Matties Maclaine, whose shot gave Saratoga a 1-0 lead.
With just less than 21 minutes to play in the game, Petruccione gave the Blue Streaks a 2-0 lead, scoring from close range on an assist by midfielder Kelsey Briddell.
Niskayuna (11-1, 10-1) came back with vengeance, scoring less than two minutes later. With 18:59 to play, Niskayuna midfielder Jackie O'Brien scored off a penalty corner with an assist by Ali Frary. Saratoga padded its lead when King couldn't stop a shot by Streaks forward Megan Leanza, making it 3-1.
The Silver Warriors rallied again, with Angerami gaining possession and passing to teammate Alie Wells, who passed to Carrie Hanks.
Hanks' shot from the left side of the goal made it 3-2 with 3:38 to go.

text: New guidance for outsourcing to the cloud published Share this 28 JUL 2016 By: John McKinlay The FCA have now published their guidance on outsourcing to the cloud for financial services organisations in the UK. This guidance, which follows on from a consultation exercise which took place at the start of the year, sets out the requirements for regulated entities when using the cloud. The guidance supports use of the cloud, and recognises the benefits it can bring to banks, consumers and the wider market. It also brings welcome clarity to certain areas which will be useful in both managing expectations and negotiating contracts - whether acting for banks or suppliers. However, there is no escaping the fact that additional time and resources will be needed, both to justify the decision to use the cloud in the first place, and to agree the contract itself. There are now a series of definite steps which banks and other organisations will need to follow before they can safely use the cloud. Chief among them is the need to carry out due diligence and be satisfied that use of the cloud does not worsen their operational risk, which will include comparing the risks of using different "flavours" of the cloud. There are also detailed requirements around understanding and being satisfied with the entire supply chain, and reviewing the legal risks of using services in different jurisdictions, which will mean additional upfront work when shortlisting suppliers. In addition, the contract itself will need to contain provisions around audit rights, change management, access to premises and remediation of breaches which go beyond what is typically offered in the marketplace today. No doubt suppliers will look to respond to these requirements in different ways, which will create a further opportunity for competitive advantage and differentiation. This guidance will now form the basis of negotiation and contracting strategies, and both customers and suppliers will need to update their policies and documentation accordingly. The guidance is available on the FCA website.

Specific circumstances: Shares and joint purchases
There are only a few kinds of goods which can be owned jointly. The commonest examples are horses, aircraft and ships. If all the shares in a jointly owned good are simultaneously sold to one person, this is a supply of goods. On the other hand, the sale of a share in such goods is a supply of services and outside the margin scheme.
However, there may be occasions where it is clear that one person is responsible for buying and selling the goods, but he is partly financed by one or more other parties.
In such circumstances, the owner should deal with the purchase and sale within his margin scheme; and the financing arrangements (that is, the contributions received from the other parties and the distribution of proceeds to them) can be ignored for VAT purposes. Notice 718 The VAT Margin Scheme and global accounting refers.

To keep Brazil's water resources sustainable, proper regulation by local government authorities is the most important part of public-private partnerships (PPP) in the waterworks sector, water economist David Zetland told BNamericas.
Brazil's sanitation law 11.445 has been providing a regulatory framework that offers security to the sector but, yes, some regulatory improvements are still needed, affirmed president of Brazil's state sanitation companies association Aesbe, José Carlos Barbosa.
As for the goal of regulators, "They should focus on satisfying water consumers [as opposed to concession holders], making sure to treat commercial and residential clients equally. Any bias, and of course corruption and other games, should be eliminated," Zetland said in an interview.
At the same time, concessions should be made in which the contracted water provider is remunerated by revenue from water usage fees as opposed to tax revenues. This will help guarantee high quality service and satisfied consumers, which will bring financial returns to concession holders.
David Zetland is currently a senior water economist at Wageningen University in Amsterdam who holds a PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics from California's UC Davis. He is also the author of "The End of Abundance", a book covering economic solutions to water scarcity.

Android Remote for a Yamaha Network Receiver
NOTE: support for this application has been discontinued
Aventage Receivers
Native Android application(s) that control Yamaha Networked Receivers
For RX-Z7, RX-V3900, RX-V2065, and RX-V867 models. The RX-V1067 and RX-A810 are also supported using the V867 program. Yamaha line of Aventage Receivers are also supported.
These native Android applications will operate all zones of the listed models. This application easily controls volume, source, sound modes, the FM tuner, and the PC/MCX interface. In comparison to Yamaha's Android offering, I personally find this one far easier to use. Basic interface, fewer fancy graphics, larger buttons, less screens.
**Screenshots for the RX-Z7/RX-V3900, RX-V2065, RX-V867 receivers here
**Screenshots for the Aventage receivers here
The are 4 significant advantages to using this android software (with WiFi) over the provided infrared remote control and web interface:
- All zones can be operated from any room, and line-of-site to the receiver is not required.
- The TV's on-screen display is not required to be on when controlling the PC/MCX interface, nor is a desktop computer
- The Receiver's provided infrared remote control is easily misplaced or lost in the cushions, where the android mobile is often carried with you.
- Unlike the remote control, the Phone will provide Artist and Title information for HD Radio and PC/MCX content.
These applications can now be downloaded from Android Market directly (now offered at $4.99). Search for "Yamaha".
BEFORE PURCHASING, PLEASE review the caveats and instructions listed below.
Comparison to Yamaha's Android offering: basic interface, fewer fancy graphics, larger buttons, less screens. As a result (in my opinion) much easier to navigate and use. Primary disadvantage of this program is media browsing: Yamaha significantly improved their remote media browsing and queuing.
Version History:
- Version 2.4.2: update for the RX-V867 to give it 'Sirius Internet Radio" capability.
- Version 2.4.1: update for the RX-V867 receiver solving track skipping, FM tuning, and FM presets. (thanks to Eric at http://www.plainlytechnical.com for the tip)
- Version 2.3: added volume control to the media selection interface, provided support for USB content selection and Pandora, enhanced the 'source selection' dialog to allow for re-ordering (put your most used inputs at the top)
- Version 2.2: added a volume slider, some graphic updates, provided Rhapsody support to the RX-V2065 model, published the RX-V867 variant
- Version 2.0: to be posted shortly. Added "Sirius Internet Radio" support for the RX-Z7 and RX-V3900 models. Created additional applications/variations to support the RX-V2065 and RX-V867 receivers.
- Version 1.5: is now available. Added 'party-mode' functionality for Z7 receivers.
- Version 1.4: added support for non-HD models (European) and fixed the overly long connection timeout when coming back into WiFi coverage (it used to appear as a lockup).
If you run into trouble or detect application bugs, please e-mail us at:
If you are unhappy with the application, please contact us with your transaction ID, and we will refund your purchase.
- Make sure you visit the Yamaha website first and upgrade your receiver with the latest firmware posted. It seems that the receivers out of the box often have unstable firmware and quite often just disappear from the network.
- After starting the application for the first time, use the menu key to find "settings". Enter the IP address of the receiver and then restart the application. It is best/easiest to set up the receiver with a fixed IP address.
- At least with the RX-V3900, the receiver will additionally need to be configured to be left in 'Standby Mode'. Once the receiver is configured correctly, it will continue listening to the network, thereby allowing the Android application to turn the receiver on when it is in the "off" state.

From the 2009 Best of New York issue of New York Magazine
So what exactly does best mean in a city with thousands of pizza joints, hundreds of celebrity masseuses, and museum-worthy concept shops on every corner? Well, in the case of this, our annual Best of New York roundup, there's a heavy emphasis on what's new or what has somehow remained virtually unheard of (until now, of course).

I was only twelve years old when Presley passed over - and I was something of a fan in those days. I remember one school summer holidays there was a season of Presley movies on BBC1, jammed between the morning cartoons and I think Star Trek. Now as a kid I didn't see anything wrong with those films, admittedly few are watchable as an adult but Presley, unlike all those greasy long haired rockers, seemed an ideal to aim for. And even now, two years older than Presley was when he died, I'm still a fan of most of his early stuff as well as some of his later more assured performances. After all no one could deliver Suspicious Minds the way Presley did. And that first LP, Elvis Presley, is still one of the best rock/blues albums ever pressed.
Buying Presley material today is an awkward things since many albums duplicate tracks from other albums but there are several essential buys for anyone interested in the King. The DVD's Elvis 56 and the 1968 comeback performance are must haves and several of his feature films - King Creole, Jailhouse Rock, Flaming Star and if pushed GI Blues are amazingly good. On the CD front Elvis Presley, Elvis,the 68 show, Elvis Country are excellent. And out of the compilations the current Elvis 75 is a good option though I would plump for the two collections Elvis Number ones and Elvis Second to none as these contain the infectious remixes of A Little Less Conversation and Roustabout.
The tracks he cut with Sun records defined all the music that would follow.
I also think Elvis was a far better actor than he is often given credit - this list of missed opportunities in a badly managed film career sadden me. And it's terrible that for many young people their image of Elvis is the fat, flamboyant performer he became in his later years, a kind of butch Liberace. It's criminal that he was allowed to continue to perform in 1976-1977 when he was obviously ill. Those around him at the time must have some weight to carry over this.
The Beatles may have eclipsed him musically - Presley never really wrote his own material.Though it can be argued that Elvis had a greater effect on popular culture than the Beatles and the way he delivered those early blues and country standards is still awesome and has never and will never be bettered. Familiarity breeds contempt but try and listen to Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog or I got a Woman with fresh ears - there is something magical going on within that voice.
One of the first Elvis LP I owned was even an Elvis LP proper. It was called Tribute to the King and had some forgotten Elvis sound-alike crooning his greatest hits. Later I got a few of the real LP's and I realised that this was the real thing. In fact I remember having a record player for Christmas one year - one of those with an hinged lid that looked like a suit-case and the three LP's I had with it all came from Woolworths - a tribute to The Beatles, that Elvis sound-alike and Elvis' Christmas Album. You know I still think the Elvis Christmas album is the best Christmas set ever recorded - he slams through Santa Bring me Baby Back and almost cries out Blue Christmas. And whilst Mama Liked the Roses may be vomit inducing it is still a mighty fine holiday album.
God Bless you Elvis Presley

Isn't it time for another review of ward boundaries in Houghton Regis, especially Houghton Hall?
I was a candidate in the recent by-election to elect ONE parish councillor for Houghton Hall Ward, of Houghton Regis Town Council. The ward ordinarily elects SIX town councillors every four years and TWO Central Bedfordshire councillors every
Parkside and Tithe Farm each elect FOUR town councillors and ONE CBC councillor. It seems to me that it would be a simple matter to split the Houghton Hall Ward into two, allocating three parish councillors and one Central Bedfordshire councillor to each of the two new wards.
In a full election contest all SIX like minded candidates of a certain political persuasion can pool their resources to produce a leaflet for delivery to the electorate. For an Independent person or persons, the possibility of combining resources with 5 other Independents is quite problematical and therefore anti-democratic.
In a by election to elect ONE person to the Town Council the cost of producing and delivering one leaflet is fairly prohibitive.
In the most recent by election:
- many people did not get a leaflet from any candidate.
- the turn out was less than 10%.
- there were spoilt ballot papers, at least one commenting that they had not had any information.
- four polling stations had to be open all day from 7am until 10pm at an estimated cost of £2,000 per polling station (ref 1)
The ward is so large that it is impossible for a candidate to knock on all the doors during an election campaign. It stretches from Frogmore Road in the south east to Sewell in the north east.
Even in a full election contest, the issues of different parts of this very large ward are also very diverse.
The map above shows how the ward could logically be split into Houghton Hall East and Houghton Hall West, the names of the new ward aren't important. I have not gone into how the numbers of voters splits, that needs to be checked.
2011 Census ward profile: Houghton Hall.
Total population: 7,860.
Households: 3,210.
Dwellings: 3,290
2015 Central Bedfordshire Council. 2 Vacancies.
Declared Electorate: 6,160
Ballot papers issued: 3,454
Turnout: 56%
2015, Town Council, 6 vacancies,
Declared Electorate 6160,
Ballot papers issued 3381,
Turnout 55%
2016 Town Council by-election, 1 vacancy
Declared Electorate: 6157
Ballot Papers Issued: 589
Turnout: 9.57%
Since the last review www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/162/contents/made Houghton Hall ward has grown. 'Houghton Hall East' now has extra homes at Frogmore Road, Balmoral Drive, Holyrood Drive. 'Houghton Hall West' now has extra homes at Lake View, Fieldstone, Limestone Grove, Alabaster Avenue, Whiting Square. Two further estate roads are currently being built off Bedford Road.
By 2030, developments in the east and north of Houghton Regis, will double the size of the town, and so the boundaries for this town need to be reviewed much more regularly than is the norm. We are already in the early exploration stages of building over 1,000 new homes that will fall into Parkside Ward.
To divide the Houghton Hall Ward as I describe, could produce a permanent solution for the 'Houghton Hall East' ward. To have a specific Central Bedfordshire Councillor allocated to each ward would be beneficial to the councillors in not needing to share local information so much, and beneficial to the electorate who may be unsure which councillor to ask for help from.
ref1.Cost of elections. Information supplied to me by the Returning Officer, Oct 2017. "As a guideline we quote £2000 per polling station, which includes:
Polling station staff
Count Staff
Hire of Polling Stations
Delivery and collection of Polling Booths
Issue and opening of postal votes
Printing of Poll Cards
Delivery of Poll cards
Ballot Box Stationery
Ballot paper Printing
Please comment below.
A Response from CBC:
You will recall that when Central Bedfordshire was created in 2009, as a unitary authority, an Electoral Arrangements Review was carried out and implemented in the 2011 CBC elections. Included in the review was the 5 year forecast of development and the electorate, the geographical size of a ward is not a consideration I am afraid. In carrying out the review multi member wards were created where it was clear that there was community cohesion.
Based on the December 2016 electoral register of 205962 electors the average electorate should be around 3491 per councillor representation. Houghton Hall has an electorate of 6083 and is served by 2 members which amount to 3041 per member, which is well below an imbalance that would trigger us to consider requesting the LGBCE to carry out a review.
The next CBC election is 2019 (every four years and not five as you state in your blog). Following that election it will be ten years since a review has been carried out and at that point we will assess the representation of the whole of the Council area and consider whether to request that the LGBCE add CBC to their review programme. Should they consider a review appropriate any changes that they may make would be implemented in the 2023 CBC elections.
Yours sincerely

It's a scary cyber-world out there, and fear concerning Internet security is one of the top reasons that bank customers avoid mobile banking. For banks, expanding mobile offerings is win-win, enabling them to shutter expensive branch locations while opening newer, more modern spaces that cater to banking via the Internet.
So, what do banks need to do to assuage customers' fears about mobile banking -- and, more importantly, what is being done to improve security measures to protect consumers' private information?
Many reasons to worry
Cyber crime is becoming more prevalent, and recent attacks on banks' websites, in addition to the recent ATM heist in Manhattan, were highlighted at the Reuters Cybersecurity Summit last month as prime examples of holes in the current framework of network security. A survey last year by Internet security company Metaforic showed that 68% of smartphone users have yet to use mobile banking because of worries about security, and the company's CEO opined that mobile banking apps and the banks that offer them don't do enough to ameliorate risks.
According to American Banker, a newer threat has just emerged: malware. It seems that cyber-criminals have been keeping busy adapting malware to run on the smaller screens of mobile devices, fooling users into giving up private information. The article notes that 350,000 incidences of malware were found on Google's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android apps last year, up from 1,000 just the year before. Though Google has a security app available, the utilization rate is low -- a mere 20%. Again, banks are called out for not supplying customers with suitably secure banking apps.
Banks are getting on board
Some of the biggest banks are taking this threat very seriously, perhaps because they themselves have been the victims of cyber hacking over the past year. Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) recently took second place in the Keynote mobile banking ratings report, receiving special kudos for its privacy and security efforts. Wells has been quite active in this area and has made it a priority to stress communications between the bank and its customers in order to keep its mobile security tight.
Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has a dedicated page on its site for mobile banking security, with tabs explaining the specific types of fraud customers can learn to recognize, as well as tips on self-protection. B of A offers layers of protection, including a special passcode feature for any online transaction, including mobile.
Citigroup (NYSE:C) offers account encryption for both online and mobile and doesn't store account information on mobile devices, in case of phone theft or loss.
New protections on the horizon
A recent article in Consumer Reports noted that some big banks are testing new security measures meant to make passwords -- which are hackable -- obsolete. Though the piece couldn't name names, their source indicated that this new technology could be available later this year. If successful, this new layer of protection may be just what banks need to break through the fear factor and get more customers on the mobile banking bandwagon.

Some people visit dive bars because the drinks are cheap or they want a relaxed environment. Others visit them because of the character of the bar or no-bulls#$% bartenders. We like them because they're not filled with tourists and you can usually get a good seat. Part of the point in a dive bar is that no one knows about them. By listing our favorite dive bars, we're kind of going against the dive bar mentality, but hey, you guys deserve to check out all of what Nashville has to offer.
So what are the criteria for making the best dive bars in Nashville list? Obviously, cheap beer, cash only, crappy food and rugged personnel come into play.
Santa's Pub
Santa's Pub has made quite a name for itself over the past year. With a bartender that looks like Santa and year-round Christmas decoration, it's a place to feel jolly. The outside of the building has several different Santa characters painted on it, and with a holiday wreath on the front door, everyone is welcome. The front deck is usually filled with "hipsters" smoking their cigarettes. The inside has low ceilings and someone is always belting out a random karaoke song. You can also smoke inside Santa's Pub, so be prepared to wash your clothes when you get home. One amazing thing about Santa is he hasn't raised his beer prices with inflation, so you can still grab a $2 brewski.
Dino's Restaurant
Dino's is located in East Nashville and according to their Facebook page, is the oldest bars on the East side. I know what you're thinking, dive bars aren't allowed to have Facebook pages. However, we believe the new dive bar code of conduct seems to be that they can have Facebook pages, but are never, ever allowed to have a website. From comedy nights to bluegrass, you never know what you'll walk into at Dino's Bar. We can guarantee a cheap, cold beer. Some people say the food is great and other's hate it — inconsistency is just another great thing about dive bars.
The Villager Tavern
The Villager Tavern is located in Hillsboro Village, and unlike the other dive bars mentioned, it's location is prime time. Squeezed between a popular gift shop and cookware supply store, you might pass this place without thinking twice. We peeked in a few times before deciding it was time to experience all that The Villager Tavern had to offer. I believe it was the middle of a weekday, so we definitely got a couple stares from the regulars. We ordered a beer and went straight to the back to play darts. Grab $7 pitchers until 7pm every Monday through Friday.
Bobby's Idle Hour
Bobby's Idle Hour is the only bar on Music Row and has been around since 1979. It's known for the impromptu jam sessions with music industry veterans and the bar's regulars. They serve beers starting at $2.50, and in true dive bar fashion, their menu is limited. However, it includes items like a bag of funyuns or a moon pie for $1.00.
Springwater Supper Club
We saved the best dive bar or worst regular bar (depending on how you look at it) for last. Springwater is known for being the diveyest dive bar in Nashville. Super dirty inside, filled to the brim with cigarette smoke and very cheap beer. Most nights there will be a band playing, but if there isn't, you can play pool or darts. The regulars, rugged and drunk, are as much apart of the culture as the place itself. If you love dive bars, this is your dirty, dive bar heaven.
Tell us your favorite Nashville dive bar in the comments!

Alpena News: Peters another friend of NE Michigan
Former U.S. Sen. Carl Levin was a great friend of Alpena.
U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow has been equally supportive.
But the way things keep shaping up, U.S. Gary Peters ultimately could be the best friend of all.
Peters has spent a lot of time in Alpena during his term. Last summer he visited and enjoyed diving some of the wrecks in the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. He also has worked tirelessly on military issues impacting the state, including the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center. Last year he was in Alpena flying a drone in support of our community's Northern Michigan Unmanned Aerial Systems Consortium, and once he learned the region was going to be losing a U.S. Customs agent, he has worked to reverse an initial ruling not to replace that agent.
And, he is a huge defender of Great Lakes issues and ardent supporter of their protection.
This month Peters learned he will be appointed to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, an honor considering Levin chaired that committee for many years. Given the importance of military installations in Michigan, Peters' appointment is especially significant.
Peters said there are seven military installations in the State of Michigan: Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center; Battle Creek Air National Guard Base; Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center; the Defense Logistics Agency at Hart-Doyle-Inouye Federal Center; Fort Custer Training Center; Selfridge Air National Guard Base; and U.S. Army Garrison-Detroit Arsenal. Additionally, Michigan is home to over 16,900 service members, 9,100 civilian Department of Defense employees, 650,000 veterans and a vibrant defense manufacturing sector.
Michigan always has been the arsenal of democracy, Peters said, and it is important to ensure that role continues. He believes his presence now on the committee will give Michigan another strong voice at the table.
"It is important to keep our bases, like the one in Alpena, maintained, operating fluently and vibrant," Peters told Alpena News reporter Steve Schulwitz in a story last week. "Companies in Michigan produce everything from tanks, the armored F-35 aircraft and even footwear for the troops. This is about jobs in the state as well as national defense."
As a Democrat, Peters will be a minority party member on the committee but that doesn't concern him. He pointed to his strong record of being able to work with members of the Senate on both sides of the aisle, and he views that as an asset in representing Michigan on the committee.
Perhaps most importantly, Peters will know first hand about items being discussed on the committee. He volunteered for the U.S. Navy Reserve at age 34, drilling at Selfridge Air National Guard Base and rising to the rank of lieutenant commander. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, he volunteered again for drilling status.
"I look forward to being a strong voice in the Senate for Michigan's servicemembers, veterans, military installations and the defense manufacturers that help our military complete their mission safely and effectively," he said.
I'm excited by this appointment, and what it potentially could mean for the region, and all of us in Michigan.
