Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - PC suddenly turns off
Hi all,
I have just upgraded from XP to Win7 with a clean install. After installing all the updates, the only problem I seem to be left with is the computer will suddenly shut off as if turned off at the mains before restarting on its own (Kernel Power - ID 41 problem). This happens randomly, such as when I first boot up, when I'm mid-game after playing for a couple of hours, when the screen saver is on, when I'm doing nothing, etc - you get the idea. It never did this when I was running it on XP. And, yes, the computer is more than capable of running x64 7.
Ok - spec:
Intel (Quad) Core i7 - 870 @2.93GHz (not over-clocked)
8GB Ram
64-bit operating system (Win7 Ultimate - my own freshly bought full OEM retail version)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 SE running x2 monitors
That's about it - pretty simple set-up. I am running 9 cooling fans in total, so over-heating is not an issue (processors run around 40-50C). Computer was bought around Feb/March time as a custom build from an on-line store. Was running XP without a hitch (installed by myself) until I upgraded to Win7 last weekend. Maybe it is worth noting that XP was not over-written as I thought it would be when I installed 7 - it is still on the hard drive (I get the choice of which operating system to use on boot-screen!?).
Suggested dump programs, etc, attached...
I hope that is all the information needed, and many thanks in advance for the help!

Revenue growth from telecoms services slowed in the UK last year, as declining wholesale sales offset rising demand for faster broadband.
The telecoms industry netted £35.6 billion in 2016, up from £35.4 billion in 2015, according to Ofcom's annual Communications Market Report.
Growth from fixed, mobile and wholesale services slowed last year, however, having risen by £300 million in 2015.
The strongest performing area was fixed retail, where revenues were up 4.3 percent to £14.2 billion.
Fixed internet revenues were £5.7 billion, up 9.9 percent, while fixed access and call revenues were flat at £8.5 billion.
Households spent an extra 11.8 percent on average on fixed internet access last year as they switched to "superfast" services, which the regulator said are around £4 per month more expensive than a comparable standard package.
The number of fibre broadband connections, including FTTP and FTTC, grew by 21.4 percent in the year to hit 6.7 million, leading to an increase in the average download speed, from 28.9MBps in 2015 to 36.2MBps.
The rise in fixed broadband services helped to offset a 7.6 percent decline in wholesale services to £6 billion.
Ofcom said it did not know why there had been a fall, but as BT noted in its financial report for the last three months of 2016, its wholesale division registered an 8.6 percent year-on-year decline following its acquisition of EE.
Revenues from mobile services were flat at £15.3 billion for the third year in a row.
An increase in sales from access and bundled services offset a fall in out-of-bundle calls and out-of-bundle messaging, Ofcom said.
Average household spend on mobile voice and data fell two percent to £45.60 per month as pricing continued to move away from voice towards data services.
The number of SMS and MMS messages sent fell 5.9 percent to 96 billion, while the number of M2M connections rose 13 percent to 7.6 million.
Overall, the average UK household spent £85.26 per month in real terms in 2016, an increase of 0.9 percent year on year.
The promising performance in fixed broadband services comes as Ofcom attempts to address concerns over competition in the sector.
This has included forcing BT to make its infrastructure arm Openreach a legally separate company, with BT branding also being removed from its logo.
Meanwhile, the UK's mobile industry is facing a spectrum auction later this year, which smaller players O2 and Three hope will allow them to compete better with Vodafone and BT, which have bigger holdings of spectrum.

Dr. Lewis Gregory
We hear the phrase victorious Christian living often but I'm not sure very many people know what it really means, much less how to achieve it.
Raising the bar: I once thought the normal Christian life involved much failure and defeat. After all to err is human. And all God expects from us is to do the best we can, because He understands our weakness. But when we die and go to Heaven then everything will be OK. Wrong! It may sound nice, and even be comforting when we consider our future. But as one man said, "how does this help me in the ugly here and now?" It doesn't!
Such a life of failure and defeat is not indicative of God's heavenly kingdom. And it's certainly not victory. That is why Jesus told us to pray that His kingdom would come here on Earth as it is in Heaven. Once you receive Jesus Christ, God's kingdom is within you, because the Kingdom of Heaven is the realm of God's presence. But it is all in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the victor, He is the conqueror, and He is the triumphant victorious king. Hallelujah!
Heaven on Earth, that's the life and the victory that Christ offers. We can live victorious because of the Victor Jesus Christ who has conquered Satan, death and hell. Jesus is victor over all things. Thus we can be victorious over all things through Christ Jesus our Lord-our indwelling king.
Consider some biblical terms that describe victory in the NT:
Strong-in the Lord-Ephesians 6:10,
And yet we are told in Isaiah 33:23 that "The lame take to prey." 2 Corinthians 12:10, Matthew 26:41, Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Triumphant-in Christ-2 Corinthians 2:14-16, 3:5-6 God always causes us to triumph in Christ.
Conqueror -in Christ-Romans 8:37 We are more than conquerors through Christ.
Overcomer-in Christ-1 John 5:4-5 This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
Power/Authority– in Christ- Ephesians 2:5-6 You are Seated with Christ in heavenly places. Romans 5:17 You reign in this life by one Christ Jesus.
Because of your union with Christ, you are in the place of authority and power. You're always in the place of strength, never weakness. You are victorious in Christ!
In union with Christ, you have Victory over sin, victory over fear & worry, victory over circumstances, victory over adversity, victory over difficult people, and victory over anything else that comes your way.
Victory over sin: besetting sins, sinful habits etc. one man had a habit of lying, especially to his wife. I shared with him that it is not about us trying to gain the victory over our sins, but rather relying upon the victorious Christ to live His victorious life through us. Once he realized the futility of his fleshly efforts he gave up. He returned to the cross where he accepted his crucifixion with Christ, so that he could live by the life of another. Christ was now his life. He began to experience victory over sin. There is victory in Jesus!
Victory over fear & worry: A man in his mid 40s, paralyzed by fear and worry so bad that he could hardly function. He developed Agoraphobia; he had a fear of crowds. He felt very insecure and inadequate around people. He rarely went anywhere he didn't have to. He lived with his mother and work a night job at a factory by himself. Yet after I shared with him about the victory that is in Jesus; the Lord set him free, healed him of his emotional wounds, and made him whole. He even attended a retreat we conducted that weekend. It was the first time in many years that he had gone anywhere with a group of strangers by himself. Yet he did great, and his mother was delighted in the change that she saw in his life. There is victory in Jesus!
Victory over circumstances: flight on a mission trip to Mexico changed planes in Houston Texas. Gate change without properly notifying the passengers at the previous gate. When we get to the other gate the door to the plane had already been closed. No more allowed to board. I prayed and asked God to open the door. God opens a door that no man can shut! There is victory in Jesus!
Victory over adversity: Laid off from church staff position FBA. Peaceful, confident expectant. Time to Buy a house. Within three months we had bought a house! The Lord opened new doors of ministry and we never missed a payment on any of our expenses, even though we lost 95% of our income when I was laid off. There is victory in Jesus!
Victory over difficult people: A fellow minister challenged my ministry. He accused me of being a heretic, teaching false doctrine. A meeting was scheduled with a group of pastors to evaluate me. The Lord told me not to even think about it. That I was to take no thought about it. "The battle is the Lord's!" My accuser got laid off and the whole matter was dropped because no one else agreed with his accusations. There is victory in Jesus!
Victory over anything else that comes your way. While on a mission trip in Brazil I was walking along the side of the road in a parking lot when I heard a car approaching. It sound dangerously close so I jumped toward the building just as the driver swerved off the road right where I had just been standing. There is victory in Jesus!
Hallelujah, in all things great and small you have the victory in Jesus Christ your Lord. And nothing is too hard for Him! The Lord is a present help in your time of need, enabling you to be instant in season, and out of season. No accidents, no problems, no worries! In all things, at all times, you can be victorious in Christ. Now that's victorious Christian living!
You can if you stop trying to live your life in the energy of your flesh-your human strength and abilities. Give up, refuse to try anymore. Surrender your life completely to the Lord Jesus Christ who alone is the Victor. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His presence and power so that Christ may live His life through you. Now you're living victoriously in Christ!
LISTEN to this message to learn about a true Champion.

After 17 yrs. with nasal mask the past 10 days with this have been unbelievable. Suffered horrible dry mouth that has been taken care of.
by Greg on October 31, 2012
I use a high pressure and breath through my mouth at times. This mask takes care of both issues. The crown part of the headgear is kind of small, but except for that, it's a great product. My wife says I am a fathead, so if your not, this mask is for you. This mask is the first one I have had that doesn't blow off and start leaking from the high pressure.
by Anonymous on June 6, 2011
Love this mask. One of the very few that fits under the chin. Helps keep my mouth closed when I'm sleeping.
by Anonymous on May 16, 2011
Used this mask for several years and won't use anything else. Very Comfortable. Really helps me sleep.
by jagodfrey275 on April 29, 2014
This is the first mask I have owned that did not wake me in the middle of the night due to leaks. I am a side sleeper and tend to breathe through my mouth and this mask just stays in place. Even with a humidifier I constantly had a dry mouth in the morning and this mask has fixed that. I wish I had found this mask years ago.
Great mask . Was always getting dry mouth and this mask has ended that problem. Would recommend to everyone.
by Anonymous on May 27, 2012
I have used it 5 months and have not had a bad nights sleep. It is great-and I think I have tried them all.
by Anonymous on January 3, 2016
I did NOT like this mask and since I didn't purchase "mask assurance", I am stuck with it. I have been using a CPAP/BiPAP for 16 years and have had many different masks and machines. This mask is by far the worst. It did seal at first, but no matter how many times it was adjusted, it always blew out under my chin or at my eyes. And to allow it to "work", I had to adjust it VERY tightly, which caused red marks on my face that lasted ALL DAY. And, it's a hot mask, so sweating was a constant issue.
This mask might work on 13 or less pressure, not sure on any higher.
by Anonymous on December 26, 2011
Very comfortable mask. I use the cloth liner with it and love it. It keeps my mouth closed by cupping the chin. It corrected the dry mouth problem I had with other masks. Highly recommend, especially for those that can't breathe through their nose.
by Paula on January 26, 2011
I love how this mask seals under my chin. Very comfortable.
by chewy2525 on March 6, 2019
My Cpap is set at 20 the highest setting. I have tried many masks over the last 5 years.
This is by far the WORST mask I have tried.
I thought since it went under the chin it would be good.
I was WRONG !!!!!!!
I shave before bed every night to try to get the best seal, didn't work so I went back to my old Simplex mask. Then a couple of days later I tried Vaseline on my face to try and make a better seal still no good. I had to go back to my old mask again.
If I could I would give this mask a ZERO Rating. I tried the med/large and the Extra large mask still moved all over the place.
I guess I'm stuck with the Simplex mask.
by Anonymous on September 6, 2017
The silicon used for the Forma mask has somehow changed for the worse. I used the Forma for many years and was reasonably satisfied. Over the last two years I have been having a reaction to the mask and everywhere the silicon pillow touches my face turns into an irritated and swollen reaction. I tried "Rmzzz's" liners and Vaseline but nothing works to prevent the reaction I get. I finally changed to a competitive product and have solved the problem. The new mask also doesn't leak when I lie on my back or around my eyes when I lie on my side.
by Anonymous on January 18, 2012
It worked for a month or so, then I felt the air leakage so I kept tigthing the straps. Forehead marks were horrible if not painful. Kept seeking help from the VA with no sucess. I am finally able to get ahold of another person that thinks the parts have gotten old (straps) velcrow. The last straw was to put a piece of thick cotton cloth across my forehead to prevent the marks which inturn would cause air leakage. Gave up
by Anonymous on October 2, 2011
Love this mask. Only one that really works, comfortably.
by Anonymous on May 15, 2013
Tried unsuccessfully to use a ResMed mask, but as a side-sleeper and mouth-breather, it jus didn't work for me. The Forma was suggested by my sleep tech....and it's great! Love the chin coverage and no more leaks. The only drawback is that the clasp on the headgear is poorly designed and difficult to operate. I have to put my mask on in front of a mirror, not real convenient. Could the clasp be redesigned with a button on the top and on the bottom of the female male part to pinch, vs. a tiny button in the middle to press? That's the only reason for the 4-star rating.

Anii Degarienne was a Human female.
Anii Degarienne was a female Human and the wife of Matt Turhaya, son of the Corellian Clone Wars hero Arada Turhaya. Degarienne encouraged Turhaya to follow his dreams of serving in the Imperial Navy; Turhaya attended the Imperial Naval Academy and graduated at the top of his class. A few weeks after his graduation, Degarienne was killed in a freak accident at the weapons manufacturing plant she worked at. Turhaya took their daughter, Alexandra, to live with relatives on Janara III while he served the Galactic Empire. Turhaya quickly became disillusioned with the Empire, and despised its methods and actions, eventually deserting from the service. He made his way to Janara III a year later, only to find that the planet had been raided by Imperial forces[2] commanded by High Inquisitor Adalric Cessius Brandl.[3] Turhaya found no survivors of the raid, and believed Alexandra killed.[2] She had survived, however, and was taken to the planet Garos IV, where she was fostered with the planet's Imperial governor, Tork Winger and his wife, Sali.[4] Alexandra held some memories of her mother, although she believed her name was "Ana."[5]
Behind the scenesEdit
Author Charlene Newcomb expanded the story of Anii Degarienne of her website. Anii Degarienne and Matt Turhaya met on Corellia when they were 18 years old. Anii's accident took place on Carida six weeks before Matt's graduation. It was in fact a murder committed by the Empire because she was the daughter of a Jedi Knight named Lexi Degarienne. Degarienne was not actually his true last name. The Jedi was eventually discovered by Darth Vader's Jedi extermination group on Janara III. The Imperial raid on Janara III was a premeditated attack to kill Lexi Degarienne and it was successful.[6]

Notes and referencesEdit
- ↑ The Essential Reader's Companion dates A Glimmer of Hope to the year 6 ABY; Alexandra Winger is stated to be eighteen years old during the story, and is mentioned to have been six years old when the Raid on Janara III occurred, indicating a date of 6 BBY for the event. Anii Degarienne to said to have been killed a year prior to the raid in Passages.

Which momma are you?
As summer comes to an end and we prepare to send our children back to school, it occurs to me that there are three camps of mommas. 1. The super-emotional momma. 2. The momma who does the happy jig. 3. And the homeschool momma… bless her soul! So, Which momma are you?

'Spa' clients take a licking
Dodgy "spas" are dispensing with massage oil in favor of cream cheese in a kinky new offering in the erotic massage industry, a report said. Sunday's edition of Malay-language tabloid the Harian Metro said its reporters discovered that some spas near Kuala Lumpur were offering customers the option of being smeared with cream cheese. The cheese is then licked from the customer's body by their scantily-clad "masseuse," likely a sex worker from China, Indonesia or Vietnam, the paper said. In a follow-up report yesterday, Harian Metro quoted an official in Kuala Lumpur suburb Subang Jaya as saying massage parlors would face stern action if found to be offering "irresponsible activities." "This activity is a serious disease in today's society," Subang Jaya Town Council official Azfarizal Abdul Rashid said.
School demolished for resort
A rural elementary school built using charity money has been torn down to make way for a sprawling, US$1.6 billion "international resort," local media reported yetserday, provoking outrage online. The school, which mainly served children from farming families in Yanling County, Hunan Province, was torn down less than two years after it was built, the Beijing Youth Daily reported. The 900,000 yuan (US$150,000) cost of construction had been funded by Project Hope, a charity group that promotes educational projects in poverty-stricken parts of the country. It had 28 students who are now studying in prefabricated buildings within sight of the rubble of their former classrooms, the newspaper said. The Daily quoted county officials as saying the site will soon be home to the Shennong Valley International Cultural Tourism Resort, a project with an estimated price tag of 10 billion yuan. According to previous state media reports, the "high-end cultural tourism" project includes health and fitness facilities, a museum and an "original ecological hotel."
Sites hacked over spying
Activist group Anonymous Indonesia yesterday claimed it had defaced more than 170 local Web sites to protest reports that Canberra's overseas diplomatic posts were involved in a vast US-led surveillance network that targeted Jakarta in 2007. "Hundreds of Australian Websites Attacked for #OpAustralia By Indonesian Hackers," it posted on Twitter, listing the sites, which appeared to belong mostly to small businesses. Calling up the pages was met with the message: "Stop Spying on Indonesia" underneath an Indonesian flag imprinted with a black graphic of the face of Guy Fawkes, whose image is used as a mask by Anonymous internationally. The sites were seemingly selected at random, covering businesses from catering to dry cleaning.
Court adjourns Morsi trial
A court yesterday adjourned to Jan. 8 the trial of ousted president Mohamed Morsi over his alleged involvement in the death of protesters during his year in power. Morsi, in his first public appearance since the army deposed him in July, rejected the proceedings and told the court: "I am Dr Mohamed Morsi, the president of the republic... This court is illegal," a foreign correspondent attending the trial reported. He slammed his overthrow and called on military leaders to face trial. "This was a military coup. The leaders of the coup should be tried. A coup is treason and a crime," he said. Morsi and 14 others are charged with inciting the deaths of protesters in December last year. They face execution or life sentences.

Brian Sckipp and John Salvaggio began their Friday with an early morning beer delivery to Gurney's Montauk, a little more than an hour drive from their brewery in Westhampton, as they prepared for their first full summer on the East End.
That was just another morning for the owners of Westhampton Beach Brewing Co., who deliver all of their beer themselves to 120 locations throughout Long Island and Manhattan when they aren't working their other jobs as high school teachers.
"There's nothing typical about our day. We can, we package, we deliver, we do a little bit of everything. So we're running the bar, we're doing the books—you name it, we do it," Mr. Salvaggio said.
Along with their other co-owner, Kate Tedesco, and their master brewer David DeTurris, a former master brewer at John Harvard's Brewery and Ale House, the four of them tackle all daily operations to keep the brewery running, like taking turns hand-labeling and packaging every beer can that goes out the door.
"We're truly a microbrewery still at this point," Mr. Sckipp added. "It's very hands-on."
And now that Memorial Day weekend has unofficially marked the start of summer, they have been stocking up as many places as they can, like grocery stores, resorts, beer distributors and seasonal restaurants and bars.
In only 11 months of being open, the owners expanded their presence from about six nearby locations to 120, going as far as Newport, Rhode Island, where one of the Gurney's resorts is located. The rapid growth was due in large part to canning their beers just three months after opening.
Locally, their brews are found in nearly every place in Westhampton Beach that sells beer, as well as places farther east like Doran's in Hampton Bays, Sag Pizza in Sag Harbor and Rowdy Hall in East Hampton.
"We just started carrying them. We carried them a little over the fall and the beer sold out like crazy," said Eric Silverman, a bartender and server at Margarita Grille in Westhampton Beach. "When it's the locals, the locals really like the beer. When it's more of the city people and the tourists that come out, you have to verbally explain who it's from, what it is."
Margarita Grille currently has the brewery's Jetty 4 Lager on tap, and Mr. Silverman said that he sold a lot of it over Memorial Day weekend.
The brewery owners said they were unable to gain as much traction as they would have liked last summer because they opened in the middle of the season and did not start canning their products until October. Many local beach clubs and restaurants set their summer menus in March, so they were too late last year, Mr. Sckipp said in an earlier interview.
But despite missing that opportunity, Mr. Sckipp and Mr. Salvaggio said business has been going very well and they plan to thank their supporters with a first anniversary party next month.
"Most people have been very generous with their praise and with their support," Mr. Salvaggio said, adding that they appreciate local restaurants taking a chance on them.
Their four signature beers, sold on tap and in cans, pay tribute to the local area. Their Jetty 4 Lager is named after one of the village's two beaches along Dune Road and their Hurricane IPA is named after the hurricane of 1938, which severely damaged the South Fork. They also sell four seasonal beers to make up their eight selections on tap. They partnered with East End Advertising, based in Center Moriches, for their packaging label and logo designs.
For one of their seasonal beers that was released last month, the Copper Ale, a portion of the proceeds goes toward the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, a charity that supports the military and first responders.
The brewery's growth within the last year happened while the three owners balanced the time with their other full-time jobs. Mr. Sckipp and Mr. Salvaggio are both high school teachers farther west and Ms. Tedesco works in finance. Because they have other means of income, the brewery's revenue is reinvested for further growth and production.
"We sacrifice a lot of time right now with our families," Mr. Sckipp said. "We're hoping that once we get through this summer, we'll be able to settle back and maybe hire some more people at the brewery to take the load off of our shoulders."
Mr. Sckipp and Mr. Salvaggio were two longtime friends from Kings Park and former partners of Sherwood House Vineyards in Jamesport. They often visited the East End growing up and were so drawn to it that they later moved to the area, Mr. Sckipp first and Mr. Salvaggio shortly after.
"We used to frequent here quite often, so it only made sense to have our business out here," Mr. Sckipp said.
To start this brewery—a business idea they wanted to pursue before entering the wine industry—they partnered with Ms. Tedesco, who was a former customer from their vineyard and lived in East Moriches, and Mr. DeTurris.
The brewery officially opened last July in a 4,800-square-foot rental unit in the Hampton Business District based at the Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton.
The back of the space, which customers can see through a glass wall, is where the beer is brewed, canned, stored and distributed. Four 15-barrel fermenters that line the back room produce about 1,500 barrels of beer a year. A tasting room that can seat about 40 customers operates out of the front of the unit. In the evenings, the brewery hosts live music and "Paint Nite" events for guests.
Much of their clientele for the tasting room are year-round residents and those stationed at the neighboring Air National Guard Base. Unlike other breweries, Westhampton Beach Brewing Co. does not sell food, other than packaged snacks, because the owners said they do not want to disrupt business at local restaurants.
The owners have already made big plans for this summer. Last weekend, they launched their seasonal Strawberry Blonde beer at Nettie's Country Bakery in Center Moriches during its fifth anniversary event. For upcoming events, in addition to their first anniversary party, they will have a table at the North Meets South farms, food and drink festival in Calverton on June 8 and they will sponsor the Moriches Bay Project's Oyster Fling taking place on June 29.
If they have a profitable summer, the owners said that they will consider growing their staff and production. They are looking to add four 30-barrel fermenters and other brewing machinery in the near future, likely requiring additional space. Moving to a larger location would not be necessary because the business district where the brewery is located has similar-sized units available for rent.
The district's developer, Rechler Equity Partners, intentionally left the adjacent unit vacant in case the brewery wanted to expand, Mr. Sckipp said.
Reflecting on what she and her business partners were able to create, Ms. Tedesco said, "It's very surreal, quite often."

Whenever my friend Katie and I get together, we half-seriously say that the "clearness committee" is meeting. The term references a classic Quaker practice where a group gathers to help a person gain insight into a problem or make an important decision. I started using this term after reading Parker J. Palmer's book A Hidden Wholeness—which is based on the idea of clearness committees—because it describes what happens when Katie and I have long conversations.
In many Sunday schools or Bible studies I've attended, leaders ask questions, but these questions have only one answer.
I am not a verbal processor by nature. I prefer to write my way through problems or decisions. When I do share my deeper thoughts, they're usually things I've already mulled over for a while. Conversations generally move too quickly for me to be able to truly reflect and put new ideas together.
Katie is one of the few people I know with whom I can talk and arrive at conclusions I wouldn't have arrived at on my own. Our talks involve many long silences, where we mull over the topic at hand individually. These silences are interspersed with strings of dialogue where one of us offers up a thought or question, and the other responds. Neither of us feels the need to tie a neat bow on the topic—to pronounce some judgment or pounce on a solution. We are content to let things simmer and see what rises to the surface. Given this hospitable space with a trusted friend, my soul comes out to play.
When was the last time your soul came out to play? I can tell you one thing, sadly—this doesn't happen too often for me in church. In many Sunday schools or Bible studies I've attended, leaders ask questions, but these questions have only one answer. As a participant, I feel cornered into saying the "right" thing, instead of invited to wonder and search honestly for the truth.
When I do venture to share some burning question or gnarly dilemma, many kind and caring Christian sisters and brothers want to help. But "help" often involves rushing to reassure me that God is in control and will solve my problem. In some cases, this is helpful. But I have to wonder, when we do this regularly, if we are not handing people fish, instead of teaching them to fish on their own.
As I mentioned in the last installment of this column, I've come to believe that true and sustainable transformation cannot be forced upon us through external pressures, such as following rules or heeding others' advice. It comes only from within as we listen to our inner voice of truth, God's Spirit in us. We can learn to listen to our own inner teacher through asking ourselves searching questions. Sometimes, though, this isn't enough. We may run up against blind spots in our self-examination. Too involved in our own problems, our myopia may prevent us from stepping back to take a long view, from asking key questions. Sometimes, we need others to help us get there.
It might seem easy enough, but making space for the soul to come out of hiding goes against the cultural grain. In his guidelines for circles of trust (modern-day versions of clearness committees), Palmer cautions, "No fixing, no saving, no advising, no setting each other straight." These tendencies come from our desire to make others (or ourselves) feel better, but it is precisely out of the cauldron of discomfort, of paradoxes not easily resolved, that the heart can break open to new life.
To hold a space for others to work through their own soul paradoxes, we should ask open and honest questions. "An honest question," Palmer writes, "is one I can ask without possibly being able to say to myself, 'I know the right answer to this question, and I sure hope you give it to me.'" "What is the biblical solution to this?" is not an honest question, if you already have an answer in mind that you're trying to draw out. Something like, "What past experiences might be useful to you in your current dilemma?" is. "How do you feel about the situation you just described?" is open, whereas, "Do you feel any anger?" is not.
One summer during my college years, my parents seemed on the verge of splitting up. I met up with Katie in an alpha version of our clearness committee, walking countless circles around her Houston subdivision. She listened without judgment and asked clear-eyed questions. I discovered that I had the capacity to be present to the deep brokenness in my family without walling myself off to the pain and letting the heaviness push me into the ground.
The issues that press on my soul today—how to respect and learn from people whose opinions seem antithetical to my own or how to bring up two boys in a world of mass shootings and easily accessible pornography, for example—are ones that summon the deepest of my own inner resources, as well as wisdom beyond myself. I am so grateful to Katie and others who have helped me access my soul's resources, as well as others' wisdom. I hope that by asking open and honest questions and listening patiently, I can make space for others to find a way through their own dilemmas. Together, I trust, we will hear that quiet, everlasting Voice.

The Best Years of Our Lives
Director: William Wyler
172 min
The Best Years of Our Lives is a wonderful postwar melodrama about returning war veterans and their difficulties assimilating with their old lives.
The films begins with three men returning home after the end of World War II: Al Stephenson (Fredric March), Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) and Homer Parrish (Harold Russell). It is the lives, love and pain of these three men that is woven together into this masterpiece of a film.
First we have Al Stephenson, an older-than-average soldier, who comes home to his wife Milly (superbly characterized by Myrna Loy, in her first role since before the war), daughter Peggy (Teresa Wright) and son Rob (Michael Hall).
The arrival of the family man is of course met with smiles, tears and embraces, but the home coming soon shows to have difficulties to deal with. Al is astonished when he realizes how much his children have grown up. He has also changed as a man by the war, something his wife Milly notices by his hardness and heavy drinking.
However, Al is soon back at work in an influential banking position, but has difficulties there too when it comes to the civil way of thinking and making decisions.
Then, there's Fred Derry. He returns to his parent's home, where he also expects to see his wife Marie (Virginia Mayo). He finds out that she nowadays has a job at a night club, and he sets off to see her. When he can't find her he visits a bar, where he meets the celebrating Al Stephenson and family. Fred and Al get awfully drunk, and gets more or less carried home by Milly and Peggy.
Fred, sleeping in Peggy's bed while she occupies the couch, gets traumatic nightmares about the war, and Peggy puts him back to sleep. The morning after they eat breakfast, have a pleasant conversation and starts liking each other. Peggy drives Fred home to his wife.
Marie is delighted to reunite with Fred, but the long parting seems to have damaged their marriage more than they thought. All while Fred tries to keep a job, and continues to fall for Al's daughter Peggy.
Homer taking piano lessons by Butch Engle (Hoagy Carmichael).
The third postwar destiny we get to follow is that of Homer Parrish, who lost his hands in a fire in the war. (The actor Harold Russell lost his hands in the war too, but in a TNT explosion.) His hands are replaced by hooks who he is trained to handle well.
He is however uncertain about the feelings of his fiancée Wilma (Cathy O'Donnell in her first role not being an extra), a paranoia that is worsened by his family's obvious inconvenience with his handicap.
This is a film that easily could have felt like a patchwork, since there are three different stories told. But the script is brilliant, and the director William Wyler is too good for words. Having the three leading men characters becoming friends, and getting them to meet each other in regular intervals is a great solution for that problem. That also makes the viewer to emotionally sink even deeper into the destiny's of all the characters.
And the characters! Every single little character in the film is brilliantly cast, but the brightest shining star is (not surprisingly) Myrna Loy as the loyal wife. The scene where she brings breakfast to her husband in bed is wonderful. Her hesitation and insecurity, though she's trying to conceal it, fill the room.
In short: The Best Years of Our Lives gives a revealing and emotional insight in the relations of returning war heroes and their families, and the film could not have been made any better.
Film clip: Original trailer, 1946.

Drugstore Beauty Booty (Starting at Just $4!)
Editor's Note: First of all, I LOVE this post from guest blogger Hayden because who doesn't love beauty bargains AND an excuse to visit CVS (so I have a weird drugstore obsession – SO WHAT). Second of all, I saw one product on this list in particular (*cough* Wet n Wild) and was like, "Hayden girl, for serious?" But lo and behold, she has nailed it again, because intensive Internet research revealed that indeed, the foundation she listed is one of those WILD finds (no pun intended) that performs like the big boys but is a fraction of their price. And now I'll let her preach the Budget Beauty Gospel…
Buying your makeup from the drugstore is a great way to tighten up that beauty budget. #TRUTH. But strutting down the aisle dropping any pretty-packaged product in your basket thinking, "Hey this looks good," or "It's just $7," is a CASH DEATH TRAP. You might end up walking away from a brand that you'd actually love, but now hate because you bought the wrong product. And what's worse and absolutely certain is that you are shooting yourself in the financial foot. A bunch of $7 products do add up quick (so says the financially reckless product zombie that possesses my body within a 50-foot radius of a cosmetic aisle).
Drugstore beauty buying does take a little extra pre-purchase research. But for a fraction of the price and often similar quality, the right products will work just as well for you…and even better for your bank account. To help you out, here are a few of my picks for seriously fantastic finds for your face.
1. CoverGirl's LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara ($9): For me, this mascara is the ultimate drugstore buy right now. It gives me the best fluttery length and natural drama of any mascara (high- and low-end) I've used in years. (Editor's note: Allure gave it a Beauty Breakthrough Award, AND I recently tried it myself…and couldn't create a clump if I tried. Very impressed.)
2. Rimmel London's Show Off Lip Lacquer ($5): Compared to bigger brands, these lipsticks are pigment rich and beyond worth the $5 price tag. Be forewarned they can be a tad drying, but if your concerns are rich color and longevity, this product won't disappoint, leaving a pretty stain when it fades.
3. L'Oreal Paris Visible Lift Blush ($12): For the girl on the go, cream blush is key. One of my favorites right now is L'Oreal's Visible Lift Blush in Rose Gold. Can't spend that $30 on the epically popular NARS Orgasm blush? Opt for this product for a healthy flushed, shimmery cheek. (Psst: I think this blush looks even more natural than NARS… just saying.)
4. Wet n Wild Coverall Cream Foundation ($4): If you have really sensitive skin, it's certainly smart to purchase a higher-end foundation recommended by your derm. Sensitivity not an issue? This Wet n Wild Foundation gives you medium-to-full, natural coverage, with a hydrated, satiny finish. For extra staying power, don't forget to set your foundation with a finishing powder (like one of these gems).
5. Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow ($7): Used alone or as a base, these cream eyeshadows are blendable and long-wearing. New to Maybelline's Tattoo Eye Studio Line, they're metallic, pigment rich, and a fun and affordable way to spice up your makeup in the evening hours. (PS, get edgy and use these shadows as metallic war paint).
6. Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin SPF 15 ($10): This is hands-down one of the most classic go-to moisturizers. Cut the fancy schmantsy packaging of most skincare, Olay brings a product that effectively moisturizes skin of all types without causing breakouts or shine.
There you have it, my fiscally responsible friends: Six top drugstore beauty buys with a complete retail value of less than $50. Want more? Download the free Pretty In My Pocket (PRIMP) app and peruse trustworthy ratings and reviews from friends and experts on over 100,000 products (that's a lot).

Prof. Wolfgang Kemmler
In this interview with MEDICA.tradefair.com, Professor Wolfgang Kemmler, who has conducted several studies on the effects of WB-EMS training, describes the target audience for an EMS training program, clarifies whether it is more situated in the field of fitness or prevention and explains whether it is able to replace conventional training.
Professor Kemmler, what is the principle behind whole-body electromyostimulation?
Prof. Wolfgang Kemmler: In the case of WB-EMS, stimulation current is applied to the muscles akin to the well-known local EMS technology. The new aspect with WB-EMS is that it not only activates one individual body area but is able to simultaneously stimulate all major muscle groups, but with varying regional intensity. All in all, this pertains to up to twelve body regions with a surface area measuring approximately 2,800 square centimeters.
What can EMS contribute to preventing diseases or pain from your point of view? Would you rather situate it in the area of fitness or prevention?
Kemmler: EMS has a wide variety of applications. The classic therapeutic realm typically uses local electrical stimulation, for example, when the goal is a regeneration of hamstring tendons after anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Meanwhile, WB-EMS is primarily used in preventive medicine, particularly in the case of systemic diseases. In older people, for example, this pertains to so-called sarcopenia, the loss of muscle tissue as part of the aging process. Having said that, EMS or WB-EMS can also be used in the fitness or competitive sports realm. In competitive sports, it is less used to facilitate improvements in specific disciplines but rather to help strengthen and maintain the back muscles. This applies to runners or cyclists, who don't want to invest time in preventive back muscle exercises for example. On the whole, there are many different areas of application. WB-EMS should primarily be recognized as a strength oriented training technology, that is to say, as long as the training goals are not too specific, WB-EMS can be seen as a time-efficient option to a strength training program. Existing research shows that the effect of WB-EMS on muscle mass and hypertrophy is comparable. However, it produces a somewhat lesser effect on functional abilities like muscle strength or performance.
The study investigated the effect of EMS on age-related sarcopenia.
You have conducted a study on EMS training for sarcopenia. What were you planning to discover?
Kemmler: Sarcopenia is a disease associated with the aging process characterized by a considerable loss of muscle mass and a dramatic functional decline. Many people are no longer able to live independently. Oftentimes, sarcopenia is accompanied by obesity. This combination is called sarcopenic obesity. Physical activity would be a treatment option in this case but many aging adults who have not done any sports up to this point don't want or are unable to get on board with it. This is a case where WB-EMS provides a relatively low-threshold, joint-friendly and individualized training option. The emphasis here is on maintaining or increasing muscle mass. The function of muscles, strength, walking speed and a lower body fat percentage are also key training objectives.
How exactly was this study conducted?
Kemmler: This was a randomized controlled trial with three arms. One group was administered Vitamin D and protein, the second group was supplied with protein, Vitamin D, and WB-EMS, while the third group was only administered Vitamin D as a control group. We conducted a final measurement after 16 weeks where we measured the same parameters we assessed at the beginning of the study.
What were the findings?
Kemmler: One classic parameter of sarcopenia is a loss of muscle mass in the arms and legs. There was a significant muscle mass increase in both the EMS&Protein and the Protein group. Both groups also showed a reduction in the total and abdominal body fat percentage. Abdominal body fat, in particular, is an elevated cardiometabolic risk factor. Strength and walking speed only increased in the combined WB-EMS&Protein group. The 'normal' walking speed is an important fitness parameter because it is closely connected to autonomy and mortality. Incidentally, the control group did not exhibit any changes in body composition or functional ability despite the administration of Vitamin D.
Is EMS training mainly suited for the age cohort of the test subjects, or would you also recommend it for younger people? For whom is this training especially interesting?
Kemmler: I believe that people who are able to and like to do "sports" should continue to do so. Having said that, WB-EMS can be an alternative to time-consuming strength training for endurance athletes suffering from erector spinae muscle pain for example. In fact, WB-EMS is a very time-efficient technology. Especially for people who lack the motivation or the time to do sports, EMS is a great option to implement strength oriented training goals such as increasing muscle mass, strength, stabilization but also fat reduction. As is the case with traditional strength training, the effects on endurance performance tend to be slight. Another important aspect is the fact that WB-EMS should be implemented as part of a personal training regimen, meaning the close interaction between trainer and client, to ensure safety and effectiveness. In doing so, the client has the trainer's constant attention and care plus gets feedback and motivation. This is definitely a key factor for successful training.
Does your Institute continue its research of EMS training and its effects on the body? Do you have plans for further studies?
Kemmler: We have just completed a study on chronic, non-specific back pain. We compared a group that was treated with WB-EMS with conventional back training, whole body vibration therapy, and a non-training control group. The study showed that all three training methods were able to significantly reduce the intensity of pain. Many WB-EMS facilities had already advertised these corresponding effects but this had not been proven yet. Our study was able to fill this academic void.

Since he's been the head of the Isotopes project at Laurence Berkeley National Lab. for years now, is a very well respected, physics Professor at UC Berkeley, and will hold both posts until he retires later this year, somehow I don't think it's appropriate to dismiss Rick Firestone so quickly as merely an insignificant Velikovski wannabe.
And it isn't hard to find their YD comet impact impact hypothesis in peer reviewed literature. In fact, much of what they said in their book can be found in Evidence for an extraterrestrial impact 12,900 years ago that contributed to the megafaunal extinction and the Younger Dryas cooling. By R. B. Firestone et al
EU theorists are fixing to miss a very important opportunity to be the first to get examples of the kind of electric cratering we've seen in Zane's CRT experiments into refereed literature.
There is some revolutionary, paradigm shifting, science going on right now regarding the YD impact hypothesis. Most of it is changing so fast that the book, and paper that started it all is already getting out dated as a reference. That hypothesis has come a long way since Rick Firestone, and his friends published The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes, in the popular press, and that paper in PNAS. For a long time there was much debate about whether the nano-diamonds were really in the Younger Dryas boundary layer. And then in the Journal of Glaciology, Andrei Kurbatov et al reported The discovery of a Nanodiamond rich layer in the Greenland Ice sheet . And that corresponds to the YDB. That settled that part of the debate. Extraterrestrial nanodiamonds do indeed exist in the YDB. And they are scattered all over the northern hemisphere, with the highest concentrations to be found so far in North America.
Something catastrophic, and exogenic, happened all right. But what the hell was it? The rallying cry of opponents to the theory became "where's the crater?" And Mark Boslough, an impact physicist at Sandia Labs pointed out the very extreme improbability of a four mile wide asteroid in an Earth crossing orbit, and the physical impossibility of such a large object having enough time in the atmosphere to break up completely, and scatter fragments over a continent sized area without making a crater. But, At the time of publication the YDB team were not working from a valid, well thought out, astronomical model. And speculation as to the exact nature of the visitor was all over the map. And then, back in March 2010, Bill Napier published Paleolithic extinctions, and the Taurid Complex. Every one of Mark's very valid considerations are answered in that paper.
In that paper Bill Napier points out that the fragmentation of comets is now a well recognized path to their destruction. And that the Earth crossing through the debris streams, of a highly fragmented daughter of the Taurid Complex like comets SW-3, or Linear, Is a far more plausible impact scenario th[a]n the impact of a single large bolide. As it stands now, the YD impact hypothesis, and the impact storms, and planetary scarring of the debris streams of the heavily fragmented Taurid Progenitor should be thought of as one [one and the same].
If you can describe a beast, you can predict, and recognize, its footprints. And it turns out there is a huge variety of types [of] impact structures. Ranging from large geo-ablative airburst structures, to thousands of small craters, and some of everything in between. As well as evidence of a huge variety of chemical composition[s] from one fragment to the next. Structurally speaking, the thing was already a loose rubble pile before it got anywhere near the Earth.
Mark Boslough is doing some amazing supercomputer simulations of airburst phenomena at Sandia Labs. And Horton Newsom, at UNM's meteoritics lab is working closely with him on the predicted chemical markers, and isotope mixes, of the airburst melts. The amazing thing is that, while it may seem that Dr Boslough might be a staunch opponent of the YD impact hypothesis, the same planetary scarring that validates his work, also validates the fragmented nature of the Taurid progenitor. Professor Napier puts the estimate of the total tonnage of all the fragments at something like 1.1 billion tons. That's more than enough violence to account for the megafaunal extinctions, and materials in the Younger Dryas boundary layer. So their work all converges on the same truth.
Anyone here know what a pyroclastic flow looks like after the collapse of an ash column from an explosive eruption, as it goes thundering down the flanks of a volcano? That's what's known in fluid mechanics as a pyroclastic density current. While in motion, the fragments, and particles, of superheated rock, are in atmospheric suspension. The motive force in that model is gravity. When it comes to rest you get volcanic 'Tuff'.
Please note that impact melt is often mistaken for volcanic tuff. Their similar appearance, and structure, is due to the fact that in both cases, the material was emplaced suddenly, and explosively, while in a high velocity, atmospheric suspension called a density current.
All mass movement on Earth requires a motive force, especially [does] a pyroclastic density current. Imagine a giant pyroclastic density current of particles, and fragments, of flash melted stone. But with the ablated surface as the source material. With high velocity atmospheric pressure as the motive force, not gravity. And with an exogenic heat source. Imagine a sandstorm with hyper-thermal winds, gusting to supersonic.
What we are learning about airbursts is that we can scale the Tunguska event up to a fragment as much a half mile wide, and we still get an airburst. But this one reaches the ground. And it does so in a downwards moving explosion as a supersonic shockwave miles wide, and hotter than the surface of the sun. Such a blast is capable of major ablation, and mass movement, at the surface. And without making a crater. Or even a symmetrical scar.
But there's more, and this is where we bring EU into the picture. The simulations we've seen so far have all been done with a single bolide. What do you think we'll see if [we] run Mark's simulations with multiple fragments? (Using comets Linear and SW-3 as examples of typical fragment size and density) Those simulation show us that a typical airburst that reach[es] the ground can translate 100% of it's kinetic energy into heat in the atmosphere. So that it does not hit the ground as a solid object. In fact, there should be a certain size where nothing is left of it by the time the shockwave hits the ground, but a long, thin plume of impact plasma that's hot enough to provide a superconducting conduit between the surface and the ionosphere.
An airburst like that can do some major ablative damage to the ground.
And for EU theorists to consider, there is a very real possibility that the resulting electric discharge produces an explosion at the surface that excavates an ejecta curtain similar to what we see in a ballistic/kinetic crater. But the morphology in the crater's central depression is completely different.
In addition to the more extreme geo-ablative airburst effects that can be identified all over the southwest, there are thousands of small craters in New Mexico and West Texas with a central depression averaging about 100 meters diameter. Besides the raised rims and ejecta curtains, they don't have shocked grains, or other normal crater morphology. And the Boslough simulations can probably account for all of them simply as a type of small airburst crater. But EU theorists might note that the morphology of those things is also a perfect match for the kind of electric arc craters we've all seen in the videos of CRT electric cratering experiments. We have a very good astronomical model that can account for how an airbursting fragment might produce a superconducting short circuit between the ionosphere and the surface.
Can we describe the mass movements, and motive forces, during the evolution of an electric crater well enough to scale it up to a 100 meter crater?
All I've know[n] of the process of electric crater formation is the visual impression you get from watching those videos. Has anyone done any math to describe the thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mass movements, of the blast effected materials in, and around, an electric arc crater? And if you have, how does that model look when you scale it up to a 100 meter wide crater?
We've identified a few thousand of them.
DragonHunter wrote:But do we trust local legend, and myth? Or modern science? That's a well studied Pleistocene impact crater in India. And that 'local legend' doesn't have anything to do with the thousands of small craters in New Mexico, and west Texas.
DragonHunter wrote:And somehow I doubt that Lord Vishnu also visited the american southwest.
If a very powerful electric discharge terminated with an exploding Z pinch at the surface, would it produce a dumbbell shaped explosion? And perhaps a lobed, or butterfly shaped pattern in the ejecta? If so, I can show you a few hundred 'Electric Craters'.

Listening to: Dr. Dre, The Chronic
Stuck in my craw, unable to shake it loose and let it go. I guess because, on the one hand, I know that I'm all that (so to speak) and on the other hand, all that what I am is just that, only that. Anything else betrays me, denies the energy that drives this pen, these electrons configured into something worth reading.
This is where I expose my ass, hair, warts and all. Stroking my ego so that it splooges right here on your screen.
As usual.
I do this because there's a sneaking suspicion in me that the few readers I have keep coming back because whatever I say, I say well. No one's coming here for the kid quips or the dog anecdotes but for the long-shot chance that I'll actually speak in way that's unique in this little corner of the blogosphere.
And if what I've just said has some toehold in reality, then you kinda' know that how I do who is who I am. I yam what I yam yeah, but that's not all.
My craw holds more than just snapshots of the obvious and its grit and grind. There's no pearls here but a pull, a pull more toxic than last post's issue, a pull downwards that not just invites a peek but permanence.
Sometimes seeking the depths because the life forms that dwell there are more interesting than those living closer to the light. What skims along the surface or resides just beneath take on a sheen of the everyday, a patina burnished by rubbing aginst everything seething and wriggling, everything moving towards a single point of referrence, unity displacing individuality until everything is a singular motion, a field of color moving stage right. In the depths, isolated from light, unity disappears, everything disappears; colors, when exposed, are warnings, not invitations. What's offered in the depths is boundless opportunity offset by the broader probablity of being eaten whole. Bones and all. Any trace of existance obscured in the black mud at the bottom, an equivocation of everything.
Sometimes sinking there because compulsion calls, cajoles, demands, draws me down on a leash and pins my head to the floor with a spiked heel, bids my captive heart to howl like a dog until I meet my needs. There, then, the choice is nullified, the reprieve of light lost and inconsequential, an errant ping dissapated in the shadows. All there is is desire, stripped of pretense and inhibition, naked hunger shaking uncontrollably in the cold, black void screaming for satisfaction. Or release.
And yet, in the depths, I'm no monster. I provide love and other things; I awake in the moment and I'm there for others, my kids. So, in the depths I can hold my oxygen, breathe deep, take an objective look up into the glow above me. See what needs to be done in the midst of chaos and still groove in the deepness.
Then I swim to the surface, shake my head, and take in a breath that feels like my first.

Well, you do write well--if you didn't, how would you get your point across so that anyone even WANTED to come back? I mean, if it were all gibberish and misspellings and bunk-who would read?
I do feel some pull towards your warty ass though :-D

Um, dude, I've a newsflash for you: All men are self-absorbed.
That said, whatever you're up to, you certainly do write it well.

tech2 News StaffDec 19, 2016 09:57:45 IST
The Indian cyber security establishment is still in a rudimentary stage, with a lot of loopholes in the current cyber policy. A key opportunity for strategy moving forward is to focus on our cyber assets. As a nation, we're vulnerable to Chinese and Pakistani cyber warriors. In 2006-2007, China created approximately 2,50,000 cyber warriors. In fact, they're giving a lot of thought in the area of cyber security.
On the other hand, preparedness is lacking on the Indian side. We're always reactive in our response, instead of being proactive. We also lack institutional measures. There exists a huge gap between what we say on paper and what is implemented.
In the past few years, our position on cyber security has inclined towards China and Russia. For instance, to curb the Tibetan movement and the TLA, information around the subject isn't allowed online in China. Similarly, India has moved from critical infrastructure protection towards information control. A case in point is the incident where two girls from Palghar were arrested after making posts on Facebook.
Information is monitored. It seems the State is using the cyber space as a tool to curtail information. Russia always feared revolution by the West, and Chinese feared trouble around Tibet. Both countries curbed information.
India now does it with Facebook and Twitter. The Government asks companies for information, which is not necessarily a great thing. As a liberal democracy, we're more aligned to protecting critical infrastructure rather than curbing information access.
Good practices we can adopt
1. We need to have simple guidelines. Most importantly, use the Internet in an effective manner. Government agencies need to be standards-driven. We need to maintain ISO standardisation and certain specific standards. We also need a body to audit the implementation. If compliance isn't happening, and there are no penalties, then there is no accountability.
2. We also need to look at protecting infrastructure, rather than curb information. Certifications need to be tightened, strengthened and standardised.
3. We need monitoring capabilities and ensure compliance with standards.
4. We need to standardise cloud security. Services such as Apple, Google and Facebook are used on a wide scale. These factors are thought through in the US and Europe, but India needs to look at it seriously. Awareness is lacking. If you speak to Indian citizens online, who put photos online, the threat to security doesn't register. We need to add layers of security in regulation.
5. India needs to partner with the industry. The industry has a lot to offer for security. The industry puts into practice far more stringent measures than what the government requires. They invest a lot more to ensure their networks are secure. We could imbibe best practices. We need to look closely at security. In cyber security, it eventually comes down to the individual, not the establishment or a nuclear installation. Civil society and the industry should be consulted.
What could possibly be our response plan?
We need a standard operating procedure. We need to consider factors whether we need to police? Whether there is a plan in place to deal with cyber attacks.
We need to try simulations. It is easier for the adversary to attack cyber properties rather than nuclear facilities.
Other countries have taken simulations seriously and figure the best methods to a secure set up. Instead of being clueless, if you simulate a potential threat, you are better prepared and capable in terms of capability – mentally and psychologically.
We need anti-malware signatures with the latest technologies. We need to be mentally alert all the time, and with our systems. Instead of foreign tech, we need to develop indigenous technologies.

Divide and Conquer is an abstract strategy board game for 3-4 players. As the Commander of a battalion of troops, you plan out and execute troop movements to secure objective regions around the game board. Your opponent's competing troops will cause you to tangle and engage in conflict taking on causalities and slowing your pace to victory. You must anticipate the other players' strategies by moving with precision and seizing the initiative. Sometimes your position is defensive to block an opponent from an objective and other times you are invading occupied regions to weaken the offensive of another player.
The game mechanics are based in mathematics and game theory, which provides an additional opponent. If you plan optimally, you will not only defeat the other players, but you will also solve the game with a minimal number of movements.
Divide and Conquer is played with 3-4 players of all ages with play lasting 30-45 minutes.
The following variants are included with the current rule set and extend the base rules for beginning players, advanced strategies, and 2 player games.
