Leadership: The power of good investments
"Lone Pine Foundation strives to develop a spirit of philanthropy among its board members and in the community, which is why we're proud to support the Leadership Fund. As a voice for philanthropy in Connecticut, CCP elevates our grantmaking by bringing together funders, leaders, and experts to explore how we can make a greater impact working together."
Lucy Ball, executive director, Lone Pine Foundation
The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports that "the Senate is weighing a wide-ranging tax-code overhaul that has major implications for nonprofits and charitable giving." Although the Senate legislation, which may be voted on as early as today, would preserve the charitable deduction, the elimination of tax incentives could cause giving to drop by as much as $13 billion.
In CT Mirror's CT Nonprofits Fear GOP Tax Overhaul Will Reduce Charitable Giving (11/28/17), CT Community Nonprofit Alliance President Gian-Carl Casa is quoted as saying that the tax bills in both the House and Senate would "devastate" the state's community based non-profits. By eliminating most individual deductions, and nearly doubling the standard deduction, many taxpayers will stop itemizing and have less of an incentive to give to charity.
United Philanthropy Forum reports that Senator James Lankford (R-OK) has introduced the Universal Charitable Giving Act (H.R. 3988/S.2123) to create a universal charitable deduction in addition to the standard deduction for individuals and married couples that do not itemize. The proposal would allow non-itemizers, including low and middle income earning individuals and families, to deduct up to $4,000/individual and $8,000/couple each year once tax reform is enacted.
CT Community Nonprofit Alliance has supplied an analysis on the State's Office of Policy and Management (OPM) FY18 hold backs to meet $181.6 million in unallocated savings targets set forth in the adopted budget. They also reported that OPM and the Office of Fiscal Analysis issued a consensus revenue estimate that predicts a budget shortfall of $175 million this fiscal year. Governor Malloy retains his 5% rescission authority and if the state budget is in deficit by more than $185 million, or 1%, it will trigger the Governor to propose a deficit mitigation plan.
In CT Mirror's CT Viewpoints (11/30/17), Katie Roy, director & founder of Connecticut School Finance Project, writes about the launch of their new, interactive website, www.ctstatefinance.org, devoted to providing an in-depth, yet easy-to-understand, look into the fiscal challenges that Connecticut faces.
CT Voices for Children has produced a new brief, Impact of the Final FY 18-19 Budget on Children and Families, showing that the share of state budget dedicated to children has reached a record low.

|Prep Time
|15 minutes
|Cook Time
|15 minutes
- 2 tbsp Butter Salted preferred Salted
- 1 tsp Oil Canola or Vegetable
- 2 each Chilli Padi Sliced
- 50 grams Curry Leaves
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 200 grams Nestum Cereal
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Cereal Mix
- Using a scissors, remove all the feelers and the legs and cut off the nose of the prawns but leave the head and all the shells intact. De-veining is optional.
- In a wok on high, heat up the butter until melted and slightly bubbly.
- Add in your oil to temper the butter, so it won't burn so easily. Add you curry leaves and let them fry until fragrant and the leaves should turn into a darker green.
- Toss in your chillies and fry until fragrant.
- When ready, add in sugar, and make sure its melted before adding the nestum cereal. At this point, reduce the heat to medium, and slowly stir the cereal to toast. Make sure you stir from the bottom.
- When cereal is toasted, reduce the heat to low and load in your prawns, constantly stirring so that the toasted cereal will stick to the moist prawns.
- Plate it up!
Chef Notes: Prawns - I don't normally take off the heads or any of the shells nor do I de-vein the prawn. By breaking any of the shell, or exposing the meat after de-vein, makes the cooked prawns, dry and generally less yummy. Cereal - Unfortunately, you can't substitute to cereal to any other brand. It has to be Nestum for its original taste and texture. Speed - The cooking stage of the cereal, should be fast and quick, while always adjusting the heat on the wok. By leaving it for too long and/or not controlling the heat, the cereal is more likely to burn. Burnt bits contribute a very charred aroma and generally not considered well done. Versions - While there are other versions with Milk powder included - i find that taste not discernible to the average eater. The milk powder only contributes the sweetness which can be replaced by sugar. Chillies - I normally use the normal 'big' or Cayenne style peppers for a milder spice - however if you want to ramp up the scoville meter, then by all means use Bird's Eyes for that extra bite. Butter - If you haven't quite mastered the temperature control of toasting the cereal, you might want to reduce the amount of butter. This will make the toasting process easier, however, less tasty.

As this project's literature review notes:Corporate management tends to view security as overhead (i.e., a cost center rather than a production center) and security metrics as merely measuring activity, not value. Security professionals note that security benefits are difficult to measure compared to the benefits of profit centers, and such professionals often lack the skills or time to create and administer effective metrics. Thus, current security metrics, in practice, are generally not compelling and are often not taken seriously (Rothke, 2009).This project's online survey found that 80 percent of respondents who use metrics share their metrics outside the security department. Of those who share, 79 percent share with senior management. That means about 56 percent of survey respondents who use metrics share those metrics with senior management. What would make those presentations more compelling? This section presents advice gathered from a variety of sources: the literature review, the online survey, the follow-up telephone interviews, the advisory board, and the expert panel. Several key recommendations emerge from those sources:Align with Organizational Objectives and RisksPresent Metrics that Meet Measurement StandardsTell a StoryUse Graphics, and Keep Presentations ShortPresent Metric Data RegularlyNext: Security Metrics Evaluation Tool

It's not hard to think back even a few years and remember the staggering pace of innovation in the world of smartphones. Year after year we were treated to a whole host of new features – cameras on phones quickly improved from just a bit of fun, to devices that allow even complete novices to take seriously good photos. We also saw the rise of apps and the app store, waterproofing, fast charging and fingerprint scanning to name but a few of the innovations we've seen over the last decade.
Unsurprisingly, impressive innovations such as the above have helped to drive an unbelievable amount of sales within the industry, but if you look at data over the last year or two, quite a few of the big manufacturers are reporting growth that has slowed significantly or even sales growth that has stalled altogether. In my eyes it's not hard to see why.
Take a look Apple and Samsung for example – two of the biggest smartphone brands in the world. Apple has just released a trio of new phones – the XS, XS Max and XR, while Samsung this year has released the S9 and S9+, along with the recent Galaxy Note 9. The problem for both of these companies is that they're struggling to give consumers a really compelling reason to upgrade.
For example, say you've already bought last year's (well received) iPhone X, and assuming you're not stuck in a two or even three year contract that you don't fancy paying off, what reason has Apple given you to fork out £999 (and up) for this year's latest and greatest? Well, let's see – the processor is slightly better, the camera is slightly better, and the water resistance is slightly better. The key word here in case you haven't noticed already is "slightly". The thing is, all of these things were still brilliant on last year's iPhone X – when it comes to processing power for example, all but the most demanding users are unlikely to push even last year's model anywhere near its limits.
The same is true for Samsung, who this year reported slower than expected sales for the Galaxy S9 and I can't say I'm surprised. Sure, the S9 is beautifully constructed device, but put it side by side with last year's S8 and to be honest, it would take a real tech enthusiast to spot the difference. Sure it was an "S" year for Apple, and Samsung were improving on an already very good phone – if it ain't broke don't fix it and all that – but surely you can see my point, why would consumers continue to fork out obscene amounts of cash each year for incremental upgrades?
This all leads to one big question – is smartphone innovation dead? The latest trends are driving all manufacturers to deliver devices that are thinner than ever, with bezels that are ever shrinking, but is this what consumers really want, or is it simply what the smartphone industry thinks we all want? Where for example is the promised revolution in battery life? Yes, it has been improving a little bit in the last couple of generations, but where are the giant leaps (week long battery life anyone?) that it feels like we've been promised are coming. Battery life continues to be one of the most complained about smartphone problems, so surely some innovations here – or even just much larger batteries – would be more welcome by most consumers rather than smaller bezels?
Samsung have also reportedly been working on folding phones for some time now – think of a smartphone that you could open into a larger tablet style screen when needed – but we're still yet to see the fruits of their labour. Maybe innovations such as this could be the next big thing we're all looking for, and until then we'll have to put up with all these incremental updates that only really appease those who absolutely must have the latest and greatest.
What do you think? Is smartphone innovation dead, or are you happy with the rate of innovation in the industry? Do you still feel the need to upgrade as regularly or do you keep your phone for longer now? Let us know your thoughts in the comments…
Smartphone technology is certainly not dead, especially with Apple. Apple technology is I have to say is very intelligent.
My only thing is it's not goof when it emits radiation into your home as it impacts on your health, but there are plugs that can stop this.
I certainly would choose an Apple phone, I am happy with mine
The question is about smartphone innovation not technology so your opinon of your Apple phone is irrelivent just like Apples innovation as they are derivative of other peoples innovation.
they just repack and market it better but dont be fooled its a average contender to the market place. (except on price)
I believe that the smartphone is here to stay computers
are getting smaller and more expensive than most of the other phone that are available.
Also applications that have been used as a recent purchase and are currently working with customers on their products to ensure they have the right tools to provide their services.
They got smaller and smaller until they were impossible to use.
Then they got bigger and bigger and bigger until they were too big for a pocket and need a handbag to carry them
It MUST be time for them to get smaller and smaller again?
Maybe one day they will disappear altogether and we can talk face to face again
(or use the phone on the hall table downstairs, which is where they belong)
I have never bought a mobile phone, I just wait till my son upgrades and he gives me his cast offs. I mainly only use them for texts and calls even though they are Smartphoes. I don't know half the things people are using their phones for. I see people using them to show bus drivers I assume it is a virtual ticket. I think people can pay for things with phones too.
I think it will continue and more apps will be created for various uses. Maybe one day we will have a device implanted in our bodies relaying all the information.
£999 for a phone upgrade -- I DON'T THINK SO !!!
Like some of the others commenting here I inherit one of my tech mad son's phones, and it usually does far more than I need. Storage and charging are the only weaknesses. Why can't they invent a phone that responds to a command like "OK phone, instant charge now!"
I have a Samsung phone which was recommended to me.The down side to it is the phone needs charged very quickly. I have had it a couple of years so I suppose with wear and tear you can see the camera,texting is not as efficient. People are using thir pphones for everything The smartphone is here to stay.
I seriously love your blog.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you develop this web
site yourself? Please reply back as I'm trying to create my own personal
site and want to find out where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called.
Many thanks!

I dont know about smart phones. I just have a simple basic pay as you go phone. I dont know why people are happy
to pay big bills for their phone with monthly contracts. It would be great if people talk to one another when out
rather sitting together on their phones its really sad and annoying.

Snack Review
Taste test: These snacks had a cheese puff-like consistency and were a bit larger than your typical cheese balls.
They had a somewhat fishy but sweet taste upon first biting in, and then the fishiness got stronger and worse with subsequent bites, with a hot taste also kicking in and then lingering for the aftertaste. Everyone who tried these just hated them. Nobody was able to eat more than one cuttlefish ball. The hot flavor on its own might have possibly been good, but we'll never know, because the cuttlefish taste was bad, and the combination of flavors just didn't work and tasted awful.
Shop: Buy snacks on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Very strong fishy smell, prettty bad.
From the package: "Rice 68% Sugar 20% Cuttlefish 11% Salt 0.8% Spices 0.2%"

JUUL — More Dangerous Than Cigarettes!
JUUL Made False Marketing Claims (To Young Adults)
In September 2019, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to JUUL Labs. The FDA warning letter ordered JUUL to stop marketing its product as safer than cigarettes. The FDA cited testimony that JUUL had been marketing its vaping products as "modified risk tobacco products." That means, the company claimed its product presented a lower risk of tobacco-related disease or was less harmful than traditional tobacco products. Here's the real catch — JUUL actually presented at school programs. The Congressional testimony contained evidence of a JUUL representative actually speaking at a school and telling students their product "was much safer than cigarettes." You can read more about the FDA letter in a Washington Post article titled FDA Blasts JUUL For Illegally Marketing E-Cigarettes As Less Harmful Than Regular Cigarettes.

Before you read this story, I'd tell you a little about the mythical incubus (plural: Incubi). According to the fairly reliable Wikipedia, 'An incubus is a demon in male form who, according to mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to engage in sexual activity with them. Its female counterpart is the succubus.' In essence, an incubus is what Nigerians would call a spirit husband. Caveat:

What's really incredible to me is how much I've learned during my time in the Investor Advocacy Clinic. I don't know that I have ever learned so much in such a short period of time. For example, I had no experience in working with clients when I first started, to now being completely comfortable working with clients and even arguing with opposing counsel. The clinic has also taught me the importance of seemingly basic office tasks, such as maintaining files and tracking correspondence and time. While these ministerial tasks may not seem to hold much importance initially, I've learned that those are the things that really keep everyone both happy and on the same page (teamwork is key!).
It was also a really unique experience to be able to work with the type of clients we do in the clinic. To know that we were able to help those who would otherwise had no other access to relief was really fulfilling. I also gained valuable insight into alternative dispute resolution forums; an area that I feel students are not necessarily exposed to in the core legal curriculum. We gained experience in preparing for both mediation and arbitration and we were even able to successfully negotiate a settlement on behalf of one of our clients!
The greatest improvement that I gained from the clinic was building my own confidence. I first joined the clinic during the beginning of my 2L year. Everything about the practice of law still felt very new to me, but the clinic has greatly prepared to me think, walk, talk, and act like an attorney. In a way, I feel like a lifetime has passed between our first foray into the clinic during boot camp and where we are now. While the clinic can be a lot of work, I will certainly miss my time working with my team, the professors, and the clients of the Investor Advocacy Clinic.

Welcome to St. Boniface!
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your family's faith journey. The 9th and 10th grade faith formation program primarily uses The Catholic Faith Handbook, 3rd Edition from St. Mary's Press and generally meets on Sunday mornings from 11:00 am-12:15 pm in the parish center/school following 10:00 am Mass. 9th grade focuses on prayer and the Creed while 10th grade focuses on morality and the sacraments.
9th and 10th grade students are expected to attend and record one retreat per year. There are many different options offered throughout the year. Retreats are meant to build community and to intentionally come away from daily routines to come away and reflect on God's presence surrounding us.
In addition to one retreat, 9th and 10th grade students are expected to complete and record 10 service hours this year. At least half of these hours need to benefit St. Boniface. Service and retreat logs can be found below
If you have any questions, please contact Kathryn Harvey at [email protected] or 262.628.8143 x21. I look forward to serving your family and growing in faith together!

Boxcar Social
70 Temperance Street, Toronto, ON M5H 0B1, Canada
Editor's Review
Although at first glance this place may not look like your typical coffee shop, the devil is in the detail and you will be glad you took the time to take a closer look. The space is tucked into Temperance Street, a road that almost resembles an alleyway compared to the craziness of Bay Street to which it intersects. The location and vibe inside give off the feeling of a modern speakeasy. A café in plain sight, but once inside you feel like you are hidden away.
The venue is equal parts coffee, beer, wine and food, with intense focus put on each just as their other locations. The main difference here is that it has the largest rotating wine list of all. With regards to the coffee, even though space is relatively limited due to the beer taps and fully stocked bar, there are plenty of options available. Espresso is served from a Kees van der Westen Spirit and pour overs are prepared using a constantly changing set of roasteries such as The Barn, Luna and La Cabra.
Bar, high-top and booth seating set a comfortable scene to enjoy an incredible lunch and dinner menu. The dishes change every few months with choices to compliment your drink whether that be beer, wine or coffee. The industrial design theme and furnishings fit the space and contribute to the vibe that they are executing extremely well.

How you should set your firewall rules to be able to connect to a SQL Server 2005/2008 clustered instance
Let's say you have got a SQL Server 2005/2008 cluster with two nodes. Here's the configuration in detail :
Cluster name : MYCLUSTER
Cluster IP : 192.168.0.10
Node 1 (active node) hostname : NODE1
Node 1 IP : 192.168.0.11
Node 2 (passive node) hostname : NODE2
Node 2 IP : 192.168.0.12
The SQL Server Instance name : INST1 which is listening on TCP 1433 on both nodes (Of course the one on NODE2 is not working now)
Let's say your client application wants to connect to this SQL Server 2005/2008 cluster with "MYCLUSTER\INST1" syntax and there's a firewall in front of this SQL Server 2005/2008 cluster and you already opened the traffice for all 3 IPs (192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11, 192.168.0.12) for TCP 1433.
But you're still receiving "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied" error message.
Since you're using "SERVERNAME \ INSTANCENAME" syntax to connect to a SQL Server 2005/2008 instance your client needs to talk to SQL Server 2005/2008 Browser Service (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181087.aspx) . As soon as the SQL Server connectivity related libraries installed on your machine sees "\" character in the SQL Server name that you gave to him, it looks for a SQL Server Browser Service on "SERVERNAME" machine.
Question : Why SQL Server Browser Service is needed ?
Answer : Because the client does not have a clue which TCP port the "INSTANCENAME" instance is listening on. In our scenario the INSTANCENAME is listening on TCP 1433 of course but you may have lots of SQL Server instances on your cluster and if this is the scenario, the TCP port will be defined by this SQL Server instance randomly.
Question : Can I send a query manually to the SQL Server Browser service ?
Answer : Sure but since it's not listening on TCP but UDP, you'll need to use another tool than telnet. We do have a tool called "PortQryUI" which you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8355e537-1ea6-4569-aabb-f248f4bd91d0&displaylang=en . Running "PortqueryUI.exe" will show up a GUI and if you enter the servername or IP into the textbox at the top and select "Manually input query ports: " radio button. Type 1434 into "Ports to query : " textbox and select UDP from "Protocol" combobox and click on "Query" button. Look for "Server's response" in Query Result. Here's an example output from my testing machines :
As you can see, the SQL Server Browser Service returns lots of info. Especially the protocols of the instances which listens. "NP" means "Named Pipes" and TCP means TCP/IP of course :)
SQL Server Browser Service listens on UDP 1434 and you cannot modify this port. SQL Server Browser Service is a "Windows Service" and the first thing that you should check is if the service is running. Typing "services.msc" from Start/Run will take you to the windows services list. Also you can type "netstat -ano" from a command prompt and look for a process which is listening on UDP 1434 like below :
(P.S. : UDP protocol list is coming after TCP Protocol lines)
As you can see from the above screenshot, a process with 2356 PID is listening on 0.0.0.0:1434 means it listens on ALL network interfaces on the machine. In our SQL Server Cluster case, while the Node1 is the active node, SQL Server Browser will listen on both 192.168.0.10 (Cluster IP) and 192.168.0.11 (Node 1 IP). If the cluster fails over to the other node, the SQL Server Browser Service running on the Node 2 which is already listening on 192.168.0.10 (Cluster IP) and 192.168.0.11 will start responding to UDP 1434 requests.
Now it's time to refer to the tricky note about SQL Server Browser Service in SQL Server Books Online http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181087.aspx :
SQL Server Browser is not a clustered resource and does not support failover from one cluster node to the other. Therefore, in the case of a cluster, SQL Server Browser should be installed and turned on for each node of the cluster. On clusters, SQL Server Browser listens on IP_ANY.
When listening on IP_ANY, when you enable listening on specific IPs, the user must configure the same TCP port on each IP, because SQL Server Browser returns the first IP/port pair that it encounters.
What does this "not a clustered resource" mean ? If a resource is clustered in a Windows Cluster, in a failove the resource will be transferred from the current node (or we can say "failing node") to the other node.
SQL Server Service itself , the main SQL Server Engine is a clustered resource and when a failover occured, the resource show up on the other node as soon as failover operation completed. This means, the service that you're expecting to connect which should be listening on TCP 1433 (or the TCP port that you set) will be always available.
Howewer, this is not true for SQL Server Browser Service since it's not clustered. The SQL Server Browser Service should always be runnin on all your nodes in case of a failover.
Also , as I said before, the SQL Server Browser Service is listening on ALL network interfaces. If your query reach from the cluster IP or the node IP, SQL Server responds to this request. But there's another tricky part : SQL Server Browser service respond from the Node IP. The picture will be like this :
Client (client source port: random, destination port : UDP 1434) <==> Firewall <==> SQL Server Browser Service (listens on UDP 1434 and respond from Node IP/UDP 1434)
Let's analyze this flow from the beginning.
1) Client (let's say its IP address is 192.168.5.5) sends a request to SQL Server Cluster IP address (192.168.0.10) since the user put MYCLUSTER\INST1 syntax (Remember when we used this syntax, a query needs to be send to MYCLUSTER host which is our cluster's virtual network name). Of course a random client source port is defined on client machine for this request. Let's say it's 5449.
2) This request reaches to the firewall and since we have got a allow UDP 1434 rule in firewall, it permits this packet and pass it to the SQL Server Cluster IP
3) Since the current active node is Node1, the SQL Server Browser running on Node 1 takes the request from 192.168.0.10 (Cluster IP) and prepares the result and sends it from 192.168.0.11 (Node IP) to the Client IP (192.168.5.5) and destination port as 5449.
4) Now your firewall should permit this return request from the SQL Server Browser service Node IP (192.168.0.11) to the client (192.168.5.5, dst port : 5449). Don't forget that on the return way the port is not UDP 1434, it's a random port 5449.
5) The client receives the request from port 5449 and the resolution completes. At this point SQL Server Browser Service completes its job and SSRP (SQL Server Resolution Protocol) ends.
6) From this point, the database network library on the client machine starts trying to connect to the TCP port (in our example TCP 1433) it gathered with SSRP and of course this TCP 1433 port should be open in the firewall.
If you want to be sure that something is not blocked by the firewall, taking network captures with Microsoft Network Monitor from both sides (client machine and the SQL Server machine) and analyzing the captures for UDP 1434 traffice will clarify the questions before fighting with your firewall admins ;)
P.S. : SQL Server 2000 is also using SSRP protocol. But it's not a separate service as in SQL Server 2005/2008. Thereofre don't look for a "SQL Server Browser Service" service in Control Panel/Services on a SQL Server 2000 installation. When you started the SQL Server instance, the SQL Browser Service starts within the SQL Server Service.

Meet Marty Guerriero, one of Island Sotheby's International Realty's newest agents
Posted by Staff Writer on Wednesday, October 10th, 2018 at 4:03pm
Island Sotheby's International Realty is proud to announce that Marty Guerriero R(S) has joined the firm's prestigious real estate team.
Marty Guerriero is a longtime Maui resident specializing in South Maui real estate, who is consistently described by clients as hard-working, knowledgeable and patient. At a young age, he became intrigued with design and architecture, which led him to pursue a degree in Architectural Interior Design from San Jose State University. This experience in interior design has proven beneficial to many clients, as he has a knack for spotting opportunities to enhance a property's value or give you an edge at the negotiation table.
Guerriero prides himself on working hard to get you the best deal possible. We sat down with him to talk about why he chose to join the Island Sotheby's International Realty team:
What's your favorite part about living on Maui?
MG: Besides Maui's natural beauty and the wonderful weather year round, the best part about the island is the people. The people on Maui are the nicest, warmest and most welcoming people I have ever met. It's just a beautiful place to live and call home.
Why did you join the Island Sotheby's International Realty team?
MG: Island Sotheby's International Realty is a powerhouse of honesty, integrity and ethics. Even though it's smaller than some of the island's other firms, they truly put clients first in all of their decision making. When you meet everyone at the company, including support staff, marketers and company leaders, you realize how much they're dedicated to upholding the global recognition that comes with the Sotheby's brand. It was an easy decision to join their team.
What inspired you to work in Maui real estate?
MG: Although I love architecture, my ultimate goal is to work with clients to find their dream property. People who are moving to Maui aren't doing it out of necessity; they're doing it because they're willing to make sacrifices to move to the island. For me, it's my mission to make their dreams come true. Through compassion and communication, I strive to make the transaction as smooth as possible so they can move to the next chapter of their life.
What is your favorite part about being a real estate professional?
MG: Because I have a background in both architectural interior design and years of customer service, working as a real estate agent brings together all of my experiences and talents into one career. My eye for for details, space planning and the ability to envision the potential within spaces is a significant part of my work. And when I help my clients, I'm able to utilize years of customer service experience and the values my parents instilled in me when I was a child.
What should clients know about you?
MG: On my free time, you can find me relaxing on the beach with a Sudoku puzzle or in the water kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding or exploring the ocean on a friend's boat. I also enjoy playing tennis, walking and trying new restaurants on Maui. Traveling is also a big part of my life, with Italy being one of my favorite destinations.

Take a picture to (your?) mobile boarding pass

You probably know what a 2D barcode boarding pass is.
As any new technology it is subject to security flaws, not necessarily because the technology is flawed, rather because it can trigger flawed processes. Here's an example.
Airport officials used to check for your boarding pass AND passport when boarding an airplane. Now that we have mobile boarding passes (2D barcode pictures sent to your smartphone via web/email) controls have been relaxed: passengers can now scan their barcode on their own, and board without contextually showing their credentials.
I'm not sure that this is the standard process, but it happened to me more than once: credentials are checked at the security gate without checking the 2D barcode, and the barcode is checked when boarding without checking your credentials.
Can you spot the flaw? I leave that as an exercise for the reader...
The hint: use your smartphone to take a snapshot to a valid barcode (for example YOUR barcode as displayed on YOUR laptop screen), and use the picture for boarding. It works, and this is an action that can be performed at a distance...
The flaw (if you didn't spot it): if the credentials AND the barcode are not checked contextually, they might not match, and you're still allowed to board:
- The boarding pass that you show at the security gate is just a piece of paper printed from a PDF and security officials only check your name and flight number; the barcode can be used to validate that information, but is not used at this time
- The 2D barcode that you show while boarding might no match your credentials (that is, it might not be YOURS!)

Ingredients For The Best Peach Cobbler Ever
1. 1 box yellow cake mix (not baked, just the powder)
2. ⅓ cup butter, softened
3. 2 eggs
4. 2 cans canned peaches, drained (or 4 fresh peaches, peeled and pitted)
5. 8 ounces cream cheese
6. ⅓ cup sugar
7. 1 teaspoon vanilla
8. Vanilla ice cream
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, and 1 egg. Mix ingredients until crumbly. Separate ½ cup of crumble for topping.
2. Spray a 9×13 glass dish with cooking spray. Press remaining crumble into base of dish.
3. Bake for 10 minutes. While crust bakes, slice peaches into small, 1 inch pieces. Beat together cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla until creamy. Layer peaches on top of baked crust. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of peaches.
4. Top with reserved crumbs and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 additional minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream. I didn't even mention how versatile this dish is. Try with other fruits – perhaps blackberries, lemon pie filling, or something crazy like pineapple.

Patient Advocacy
Patient advocates are a newer service specialty in health care. The services that a patient advocate offers vary. They can include getting access to clinics and doctors, appointment accompaniment, hospitalization oversight, second-opinion research, and medical billing assistance. An advocate may be a nurse, a layperson, or even a physician. The patient advocate may be an individual or an organization. When an advocate works for an organization, they may be concerned with one specific group of disorders, such as cancer, transplant medicine, or geriatric care. Check to see whether your hospital or health plan offers patient advocate services before paying for one yourself.
A patient advocate can help with complex medical forms, medication co-pays, and insurance options.

The Allegan County Sheriff's Office announces the death of one of its K-9 deputies with the passing of canine Garo.
The Allegan County Sheriff's Office regrets to announce the loss of one of its canine deputies with the passing of K-9 Deputy "Garo" unexpectedly on Sunday, February 27 from a medical condition.
Garo was a 6 ½ year old German Shepard, and was the partner of Deputy David Holmes. Garo began his career with the Sheriff's Office as Deputy Holmes' partner in 2007, and lived near Wayland with him and his family.
Garo served as a dual purpose K9; trained in both drug detection and tracking. During his 3 ½ years of service, the team of Deputy Holmes and Garo proved not only to be a valuable component of the County's drug enforcement effort and participated in search efforts, but also served as goodwill ambassadors for the Sheriff's Office by making numerous public appearances for schools and civic groups.
The passing of Garo leaves the Allegan County Sheriff's Office with only two K-9 teams, a unit which normally operates with four teams, and is maintained solely through donations from the community.
Noah's Pet Cemetery & Pet Crematory of Grand Rapids has graciously donated cremation services for Garo.

Gothic Architecture
While designs varied greatly during the development and evolution of Gothic cathedral architecture, most came to follow a basic cross-shaped plan as shown to the right.
The main distinguishing feature of a basilica is the rounded apse with a half-dome above the sanctuary, where the altar is located. Many cathedrals in Europe follow this model, but those in England tend to have a square end instead.
The main body of a cathedral is the nave, where the worshippers gather for services. In large cathedrals this is usually bordered by aisles, which as you can see from the cross-section, help to form part of the buttressing of the lofty upper works.
Transepts vary in width and length. Wider transepts may continue the aisles around the corner, while narrower ones may have no aisles.

Academic Staff
Dr Daniel Hartley
(email at email@example.com)
Research Interests
Office hour 2019-20: Thurs 11-12
I am Assistant Professor in World Literatures in English. My research focuses on literary style, "world literature" and the historical sociology of modernity. My first book, The Politics of Style: Towards a Marxist Poetics (Brill: 2017), developed a systematic theory of literary style through an immanent critique of the work of Raymond Williams, Terry Eagleton and Fredric Jameson.
My current book project is provisionally entitled Capital Personified: Impersonality in the Modern World-System. It investigates the multiple political and stylistic valences of literary impersonality in world literature across the long twentieth century: from early twentieth-century modernism to contemporary post-apartheid South African fiction. The project is grounded in a longue-durée study of impersonality as a structural feature of the capitalist world-system, reading canonical modernist texts and postcolonial fiction within a single critical purview. It connects and intervenes in four debates: the question of modernist impersonality (its nature, range and political valences); contemporary theories of 'world literature'; the notion of capitalism as a system of 'impersonal domination'; and postwar philosophical defences of impersonality as a critical ethos (e.g., T. W. Adorno and Alain Badiou). It focuses especially on the ways in which impersonality mediates the traumatic legacies of colonial regimes of personhood.
I also have ongoing interests in the history of aesthetics, the Anthropocene/ Capitalocene, and theories of the subject in radical contemporary thought.
Academic Biography
I completed my B.A. in English Literature at the University of Cardiff, during which I worked for one year as an assistant d'anglais at a lycée in Orléans (France). Following my undergraduate studies, I returned to France to work as a lecteur d'anglais for one year at Université Nancy 2 and Sciences Po. From 2008-2010, I undertook a two-year Research M.A. in Literary Studies at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. I was subsequently awarded a scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. at the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture at Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen (Germany). Following my Ph.D., I worked for two years as a wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter, and 6 months as a Temporary Professor, in the English department at Gießen. From 2016-18, I was a Leverhulme Postdoctoral Fellow in the Centre for World Literatures at the University of Leeds, working as part of a Leverhulme project entitled "Traumatic Pasts, Cosmopolitanism, and Nation-Building in Contemporary World Literature." In summer 2018, I was appointed Assistant Professor of World Literatures at Durham.
I welcome applications or informal queries relating to Ph.D. supervision in research areas which overlap with my own, in particular:
- Anglo-American Marxist literary theory (especially the work of Raymond Williams)
- Althusserian and post-Althusserian thought (esp. Badiou and Rancière)
- Materialist approaches to "world literature"
- Most areas of Marxist poetics/ aesthetics
