Don't Pay for a Negligent Owner's Behavior!
Even if you love dogs, accidents can still happen. When a dog bites you, the resulting injuries can take you by surprise. Most often, it is not your fault or the dog's fault but rather a negligent owner's fault. Owners are held legally responsible for their dogs' behavior in public and on private property. If you were bitten by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation from the dog's owner, their insurance company, or both.
Even if the injury seems to be healing properly, the treatment and suffering that you must go through to recover from a dog bite can last for many years to come.
It is important to talk to a dog bite attorney in Naperville early to discuss all of your legal options. Our personal injury lawyers at Chute, O'Malley, Knobloch & Turcy, LLC have years of experience in personal injury law and will help you make the best legal decisions for your case.

Paul Krugman's essay in tomorrow's New York Times Magazine is generating a lot of buzz. I like it more than most of what's written on climate and economics these days, but I've still got a few reservations. I'll write about those in a later post (whose title you should be able to guess). But first, here's what I think Krugman gets right.
- The basics.
All the fundamental on how cap-and-trade works, why its better than command-and-control alternatives, why a perfect carbon tax only exists in theory, why cap-and-trade costs are likely to be limited, etc, are basically perfect. There's really no need to expand.
- He focuses on risk and uncertainty as the main reason for action.
Advocates of serious action on climate have been burned for so long by people who use uncertainty as an excuse for doing nothing that they're afraid to talk about the flipside: uncertainty about potentially catastrophic consequences is the biggest reason to act now. People talk about balancing a 2% cost of action with a 5% cost of inaction decades from now (and Krugman goes through those arguments, though see the Stern Review for Exhibit A), but it's hard to see how stakes like that could justify making climate change a national priority. (Try to think of all the other things that could swing GDP by 5% by the end of the century; it's a long list.) Krugman makes a far more important point: the costs of serious action are pretty easy to bound, but the potential consequences of not acting are not. That's a great case for getting moving. It's also robust to controversy over the finer details of climate science, something that if people didn't appreciate a year ago, they should now.
- He doesn't play into the green jobs / free lunch theme.
A climate economics article by a Democrat that doesn't talk about green jobs or win-win-win-win-win solutions! (Yeah, I'm talking about you, Tom Friedman, but you're far from alone.) Krugman doesn't pretend that cap-and-trade will solve our oil problems, yield net job gains, or create extra GDP growth, because none of those claims can be supported by serious economic studies. That's not to say that none of that is possible – it's just that we don't have models that do a good enough job of combining the micro aspects of the energy world with macro constraints on the economy to resolve most of this one way or the other. Krugman admirably sticks to what we know, rather than endorsing speculations that fit with his bottom line.
In the next installment, I'll get to the bad, and maybe the ugly. So stay tuned for some thoughts in carbon tariffs, international action, and perhaps a few other things.

I've recently rebooted my Instagram to reflect my new business after moving on from the wedding photography. However I'm not happy with the default Instagram white borders.
Let Me Explain
And I've been having an issue with Instagram's choice to display all images in the grid as square thumbnails. In doing so, an image that is uploaded in rectangle ratio will be cropped when displayed in the grid.
Once you click on the thumbnail Instagram will display the full image in the original ratio. The cropped thumbnail though can sometimes ruin the composition, not showing the image to its full visual potential.
Why Have Borders?
So I've decided to upload in a square format but with borders to retain the original composition in the Instagram grid. That way you don't have to click though to see the image in its full intended viewing format.
But why? Well if the cropped thumbnail is unflattering compared to the full image then you won't get any eyes on the image. I want the first read to be the image at its best, which is the aspect ratio I originally edit in.
Let's go through 3 different ways that I've done this:
Instagram White Borders In App Feature
You can actually use the in app feature on Instagram to create a border:
STEP 1: Upload an Image and click on the resize button
STEP 2: Press Next and select a filter (not normal) and then tap the filter again.
STEP 3: Use the slider to adjust the strength of your chosen filter on the image. Reduce it to 0 if you don't want any filter. And then click the square frame button to add an Instagram white border.
STEP 4: Click next, add a caption and some tags, and now you can share to upload to Instagram.
My issue with this method is the image, while having a white border, will still be cropped in your Instagram grid to conform to a square format.
Whitagram App
This is the best app for creating Instagram white borders in my experience.
And if I'm taking a picture from my phone, then instead of taking the photo back to Photoshop to manually create white borders, I'll use this app.
STEP 1: Open the app and select Library
STEP 2: Select the Square button to access the Frame Color and Size editor.
STEP 3: Select the color of the frame
STEP 4: Use the slider to adjust the size of the border. Remember the number so that next time you can use the same size frame for conformity.
STEP 5: Tap the image to return to the main window and select Save at the top right.
STEP 6: You can either select Camera Roll to save the image or you can select Share to upload the image directly to Instagram or an app of your choice.
The small issue with Whitagram is you cannot transform the size of the image. You will need to resize the image before you import it to Whitagram.
Photoshop (Manual Method)
This is my method of choice but only if you edit your photos in Lightroom and Photoshop; because once you have a photoshop template, it's just a case of dropping the final photo on top and exporting.
The added benefit is also you maintain conformity across your images.
There's also the extra assurance you are not further compressing your image unbeknownst. Unlike Twitter, Instagram's algorithm compresses images over 1080×1080.
This is done to optimize space. Twitter is not photo/image focused so can afford to have uncompressed images, unlike Instagram which has over 95 million images uploaded to it a day.
Using apps which resize your image to include Instagram white borders means they are changing the image quality as well. I prefer to reduce the image size and quality one time in Photoshop.
Creating the Template for Instagram White Borders
If you're starting in Lightroom, export to Photoshop as .jpeg using the sRGB color space, as that is the color space displayed on mobile phones, monitors etc.
You can now start a new document.
STEP 1: Create a new document. The image size should be 1080×1080 pixels. Rename layer Instagram White Borders template (Don't worry about DPI, that is for printing purposes only).
STEP 1 (ALTERNATE): If you want to have a different color border. Select the base layer and unlock it and use the Fill tool to change the color of the layer from white to black/or another color.
STEP 2: Go back to your image to post and merge all into one layer (use CTRL+SHIFT+E).
STEP 3: Copy layer.
STEP 4: Go to the template .PSD and paste the layer at the top of the layer stack (CTRL+V).
STEP 5: Transform the layer by pressing CTRL+T and resize the layer to your preference.
STEP 6: Use the Photoshop align tools to position the layer in the middle horizontally and vertically.
STEP 7: Export image.
You only need to create this .PSD once. The next time you have edited an image for Instagram, you simply need to open up the template and follow from Step 2 onwards, which takes all of a few seconds.
Creating white borders for Instagram takes back control of how your images are displayed to your audience.
Not cropping in means you can show the image how it was intended instead of having to click through to see the full composition.
Alternatively you could edit for a 1:1 aspect ratio at 1080px and fully maximise the grid real estate. However this compromise might not be the ideal composition for landscapes or portraits etc.
Check out my Instagram to see some examples of the use of framing for a more aesthetic look for my grid.

Medal Blocks were designed to be flexible enough to fit many medal sizes. To choose the one that's right for you, simply measure your medal to the closest millimeter, and pick the Medal Block with an opening that is a little larger.
We include low-profile spacers that adjust for the thickness of the medal. They also help to properly position it. Two thicknesses of spacers are included (.5 mm and 1 mm). Simply choose the spacers you need, peel the spaces apart, position them to the inside of your Medal Block, and then center the medal.
Picture your accomplishments
Many events provide a photo that is related to your medal, so we designed a photo frame that is a perfect match to accompany our line of medal displays. Or maybe you simply need a high quality picture frame that could tastefully complement your medal displays. Regardless of how you use it, this is a beautiful picture frame. This high quality picture frame is for those who prefer not to have their picture take up the entire frame and want to leave plenty of space to act as a clear border for 4" x 6" photos. For the 5" x 7", this frame will take up all of the space.

Let's pretend that the US didn't recently pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Let's also pretend that all the other countries that scolded it for withdrawing also met their Paris pledges on deadline. Heck, let's pretend that that everyone in the whole world did their very best to cut emissions, starting today. Even if all that make-believing came true, the world would still get very hot.
Fact is, if you add up all the emissions cuts every country promised in their Paris pledges, it still wouldn't keep the planet's temperature from rising beyond the agreement's goals—to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2˚ C higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution, and as close to 1.5˚ C as possible. If Earthlings want to avoid a heat-soaked, tide-swamped, and war-clouded future, they need to do more. This raises the specter of geoengineering: things like seeding the stratosphere with sulfur, or using ice crystals to dissolve heat-trapping clouds. But geoengineering is a dirty word many climate scientists and climate policy experts avoid, because humans meddling with nature doesn't have the best track record. Which is why they say world leaders need to come up with some rules about geoengineering ASAP, before desperation over the coming climate catastrophe forces humanity to do something it might well regret.
But the technical challenges of geoengineering are minimal compared to the challenges governments face in deciding when, if, and how to deploy these technologies. The biggest worry of all is that some desperate country, or group of countries, might decide to do some geoengineering all on their own.

Explore their hazardous surfaces as you rescue your stranded crew, salvage lost cargo, and zap hordes of enemies. Can you survive long enough to reach the Mysterious Planet X? Or will you be consumed by a slime, zapped by an enemy blaster, boiled in acid, or choked to death by a toxic atmosphere?
Arrow Keys/Directional Pad - Move
[Z] - Jump (tap, or hold for higher jumps)
[X] - Use Held Item
[Down] + [X] - Pick up / Swap Item

Zapping enemies
Securing cargo
Transporting friendly crew off the surface
Completing levels
Blasting off from the planet in a new Star Cruiser
Several secret bonuses you'll need to discover!
As you delve deeper into space, the planets will expand in size, add more difficult room layouts and variations, increase the chance for high gravity, unlock new hazardous biomes (including burning lava planets, sliding ice planets, and rare toxic atmospheres!), more challenging enemy variants, more enemy crew, and fewer useful items to help you along the way. While the first few planets might not cause you much trouble, by the time you reach the Mysterious Planet X, you'll need the skills and bravery of a true Space Ranger to survive!
Humans are boring! While they're the most common species in the Space Rangers, the other sentient species have special bonuses to help in their adventures. Along with all the random features of each planet, you'll need to accustom yourself to the unique ability of your randomly chosen cadet.

It is a common myth that you have to be wealthy to leave a charitable gift in your will but nothing could be further from the truth. After taking care of your family and friends, you will be amazed at what one final gift, no matter how big or small, can do.
Sobell House owes its continued existence to people kindly remembering us in their Wills.
Our annual legacy income is enough to fund nearly a quarter of a year's care. At any given time, our hospice staff and volunteers care for around 500 people across the county. Thanks to our supporters making donations in wills, thousands of families in Oxfordshire have been able to benefit from the specialist and compassionate care given by our hospice staff and volunteers.
Without this generous support we would quite simply not be able to meet the demand for our hospice services.
Lifespans have grown longer, delaying the inevitable fact of death. The coming years will see a sharp rise in the number of people dying, presenting a challenge about how we care for those at the end of life. A gift in your will can help us be here for people and their families, in the future, every hour of every single day, making moments matter, packing previous memories into the time we have.
A gift in your Will can be a specific sum of money, a share of your estate, or specific items. Supporting us in this way will not cost you a penny now and it could also help reduce your liability for Inheritance Tax. Just a small percentage of your estate, once you have provided for your loved ones, could make a big difference to us and the community we serve.
Giving away some of your money to charity – either now or in your will – can reduce your Inheritance Tax bill.
If you leave Sobell House a gift in your will that gift won't count towards the total taxable value of your estate. You can also cut the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your estate from 40% to 36%, if you leave at least 10% of your 'net estate' to a charity.
Your donation will either:
You can donate:
After you have provided for family and friends please remember Sobell House in your Will.
Any gift you leave will make a difference.

LÉ EITHNE Rescues 201 Migrants off Libya
The Naval Service flagship the LÉ EITHNE conducted a successful rescue operation of 201 migrants 60 kilometres North of Libya yesterday morning in co-operation with Italian, German and British ships.
The migrants were part of a flotilla of five make shift inflatable vessels that were attempting to cross the South Central Mediterranean.
After receiving notification from the Italian Marine Rescue Coordination Centre and the Italian Task Force Commander of five inflatable crafts crossing the Mediterranean, LÉ EITHNE deployed to assist in the operation. The rescued migrants were transferred to the HMS BULWARK, Royal Navy's vessel which transported them to a port of safety in Italy.
LÉ EITHNE departed on the 16th of May from Naval Service Headquarter in Haulbowline, Cork to assist the Italian Authorities in the humanitarian search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
This is the first rescue by the crew of the LÉ EITHNE since being tasked by Government to deploy to assist with the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean.

I've nearly finished reading Deirdre McCloskey's– it's out next month and I will be reviewing it elsewhere. This is of course the latest in her grand project, The Bourgeois Era, the first two being and . (I reviewed the latter in The New Statesman at the time.) McCloskey originally planned six volumes, but it seems three might now be the total. As each is over 600 pages long, this is already quite a lot.

Anyway, this isn't a spoiler – I'll save up my thoughts onBut reading it set me thinking about what other books one ought to have read to evaluate properly this series about the history and dynamics of capitalism (although McCloskey doesn't like the word). These are the ones that came to mind first – and clearly this is a question that inspires BIG books.

"When I worked with the Plásticos Ferplast team, I realized that I was talking to people with a lot of experience designing solutions for all types of vessels and boats. My impression was that they were as expert in the plastics sector as in the naval sector."
Plastic materials are widely used in the nautical world
With regard to the design of ships, they provide a light and economical material, capable of withstanding the rigorous conditions of the aquatic environment, with very moderate costs. It is a field in which it is necessary to make highly personalized proposals, taking into account that each ship has its own characteristics, its own design, and each owner can have their own tastes.
Another area in which we have made interesting contributions is the development of utensils, tools, or interior furniture. In this case, the fact that plastic materials allow us to create lightweight, impact resistant, and affordable elements has opened the doors to developing a large number of products.

The Drobo 5n is a sturdy, well-built NAS with a mostly metal construction which accounts for its hefty 3.9kg (empty) weight. The detachable front bezel plate is made from good quality plastic, has a shiny finger print attracting Piano Black gloss finish and is held in place by magnets.
The front of the unit is devoid of any ports or power buttons and looks pretty dull, that is until you turn the system on when it lights up like the proverbial Christmas tree. The front right-hand side of the unit holds a vertical row of drive bay LEDs which glow green, amber or red depending on the what the drives are up to. Usefully there is a little schematic on the inside of the front plate that explains what the colours mean and what, if any, action needs to take place.
At the base of the front panel sits a row of twelve indicator LEDs. The first one is the power mode indicator (green – power on, yellow – standby, red – over temperature) while the last one indicates data transfer activity. The ten in between these two display the percentage of storage space used and these are blue. You can set the brightness levels for the LEDs in the Drobo Dashboard.
The rear of the unit is dominated by the grill for the cooling fan with the only other things on the rear panel being the ports for the power adapter and Ethernet and the power button. That rear-mounted power button will soon have you cursing if you have the Drobo on a shelf or in a cupboard. The Drobo 5n has no ports to connect an external device to so there's no way to drop data directly off the unit to an external drive for extra security, which is a bit odd for something designed with the small office environment in mind.
The five drive bays sit behind the detachable front plate and are tool free. The bays themselves are protected by sprung doors which are forced up and out of the way by pushing a drive into them. Each bay has a latch to hold the drive in place. There's no form of extra physical security in the way of drive bay locks etc. The bays support drives up to 8TB in capacity.
The bays support both 3.5in and 2.5in but in the case of 2.5in drives you need to use bay converters. Incidentally, Drobo recommends IcyBox products on their website but we used Startech 25SAT35HDD converters and they worked perfectly well.
In the base of the 5n is what Drobo calls the Accelerator Bay, a compartment that holds an mSATA slot.
Access to this compartment is via a small hatch that has a sliding lock to hold in place. Drobo recommends an mSATA drive in the 64GB – 120GB range; going larger provides no real benefit. At the time of writing the 5n does not support SandForce based drives in either the main bays or the Accelerator Bay.
- Drive bays: 5
- Other drive bays: 1 x mSATA
- Tool free bays: Yes
- Ports: 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- Dimensions: 150.3 x 185.4 x 262.3mm
- Weight (empty): 3.9kg
- Warranty: 2 years

Knicks president asks fans for their 'continued patience'
New Knicks president Leon Rose asks fans for their 'continued patience'.
mark: 3M can't save the day on its own, but it's promising a remarkably large contribution. The company has in two months doubled global production of N95 masks to about 100 million a month, and it's planning to invest in new equipment to push annual mask production to 2 billion within 12 months. On March 22, Chief Executive Officer Mike Roman said in a news release that 3M had sent 500,000 respirators to hard-hit Seattle and New York City, and that it was ramping up production of hand sanitizers and disinfectants as well. Two days later, Roman said 3M would work with Ford Motor Co. to produce powered air purifying respirators, waist-mounted devices that blow air into helmets that shield wearers. Honeywell is also increasing N95 production, saying it will hire at least 500 people to expand capacity at a facility in Rhode Island. Although businesses globally have emptied out, more than half of 3M's 96,000 employees are still showing up for work in its factories and warehouses. "It's been amazing," says Rehder, who's in the Aberdeen plant seven days a week, usually walking the floor, which is now marked with yellow tape to keep workers from violating the imaginary 6-foot infection barrier. "People are very proud to work in a place that's making respirators, especially with the need that's out there now."

Incrementality and differentiation key to unlocking business traveller sales
11th July 2018
Ever-present business travellers are more diverse than retailers might think based on a new study. Yet they share some key shopping traits: they are more likely than the average passenger to trade up – and they are impressed by a truly differentiated retail offer than they are by simple retailtainment.
These are among the core conclusions from CiR's new report – The Business Traveller 2018 – which examines, in detail, the buying habits and behaviours of this important passenger segment. More than 2,000 business travellers were surveyed, with answers compared against a total sample of almost 23,000 interviewees.
The study found that more than half of business travellers trade up to better quality products in duty free, thus creating a clear opportunity to drive premiumisation. "This share rises to 65% for travellers from Asia Pacific versus 41% of Europeans suggesting that targeted engagement from retailers can achieve incremental sales," comments Garry Stasiulevicuis, Founder and President of CiR.
A bit more needed than 'merchandising theatrics'
Retailers also need to foster differentiation over retailtainment when targeting this segment. "Due to the nature and frequency of their travel, engagement is not assured through simple merchandising theatrics," notes the report. In fact, 56% of business travellers end up buying their regular brand.
Where a non-regular brand is purchased, 21% of business travellers are shopping due to the 'new or different' nature of the SKU. "This is +8% over-indexed versus regular travellers and suggests that business travellers have discerning tastes. Their high level of desiring something unique is counter-intuitive to regular merchandising principles," says Stasiulevicuis.
Asia Pacific business travellers are even more discerning – for them differentiation is the second greatest motivator to purchase at 29% (good price is first at 36%). This means that store layout and innovation have huge roles to play in converting browsers to buyers.
Gifting is not an afterthought
The notion that business travellers rush through airport shops to pick up last-minute gifts for their families is also largely a myth – 25% of their purchases are made with gifting in mind which is a full +5% ahead of the global average. "These purchase occasions are planned as brand quality and international recognition trump the impulsive prompt of price-discounts," says the report. Stasiulevicuis adds: "Gifting is driven by quality, not promotions. Gifting is not an afterthought, but rather a planned action."
Digital messaging is important
The Business Traveller 2018 findings also point to a direct relationship between frequency of travel and greater engagement with digital. Significant opportunity therefore exists to drive sales to business travellers by weaving increased digital use with unique, loyalty rewards.
Social media use (pre, during and post travel) is prominent amongst business travellers and Facebook is their main platform – with 83% engaging there. However, there are regional nuances: Instagram is prevalent amongst Americas and MEA business travellers, while Twitter is of particular importance to those from Asia Pacific.
"This offers an opportunity for retailers and airline operators alike to engage and promote through the correct digital platform," says Stasiulevicuis. "Digital engagement and rewards – through targeted ad campaigns or cultivated hashtag marketing throughout the passenger journey should unlock benefits, such as loyalty discounts, or rewards on new launches."
Given that price comparison and shopping in a web store are engaged in by one out of every two business travellers, loyalty can be engendered by repeated engagement with digital touchpoints. The report suggests that higher-priced categories are more likely to see digital engagement from business travellers so specific loyalty redemption programmes for these categories would encourage spending.
These are just a few of the top-line conclusions from The Business Traveller 2018. The report drills down into much more detailed aspects of this segment in successive chapters as follows:
- Who: Business Traveller Visitor Profile
- What: Business Traveller Visitor Purchases
- How: Business Traveller Duty Free Visitor Behaviour
- Why: Business Traveller Purchase Drivers
- Why Not: Business Traveller Purchase Barriers.

Turn your social media team into a cross-functional content marketing machine.
Social media users rely on a brand's social media presence for just about everything these days, whether it's relaying customer service complaints, asking whether that new coffee drink has a specific allergen in it, or, in the case of many sports teams, hurling abuse at their favorite player. From a brand standpoint, this wide variety of input means that a social media team needs to be equipped to provide significantly varied output.
The marketing department, no matter how excellent they are at their jobs, cannot handle everything by themselves. Trying to make them do so could be costly. According to Sprout Social research, just over a third of customers will "shame a company" on social media channels if they don't quickly receive a solution from the company after conveying those complaints via social media—that's not something that your facility wants or needs.
To ward off this and other potential costly issues, you have to put together the most effective social team you can.
Building Out Your Social Media Team
Your social media team needs to be able to collaborate with customer service, human resources, sales, and public relations. Find someone socially inclined in each of these departments, and charge that person with handling social media tasks relevant to his or her particular departments. You may also want to designate a senior member of your social team to liase with other departments in case of any questions or concerns.
Create policies and procedures regarding how to respond in specific situations, and designate a timeline—preferably within four hours of getting the inquiry or comment—for crafting a response. This helps each team member be sure of his or her role and the responsibilities that go along with it. Set up weekly meetings to keep everyone up to date and collaborating effectively.
If you're looking for hidden gems to round out your social media team, give these strategies a try:
Open up a meeting. While you might think that your social media page is for promotions, your audience looks at it as a way to interact with your company. Open content planning meetings to other departments to learn what types of content they think needs to be out there, and then allow those team members to respond to inquiries that are spurred by content. Someone who has great insight into what your current or prospective patients want might be a great person to address them when interacting with you.
Watch carefully. If someone offers creative suggestions on a regular basis in meetings, it might be worth looking into whether they have a passion for social media. Encourage that skill by providing the employee with training into ways to respond.
Screen your team. Anyone representing your company—whether in person or by representing the whole organization on your company's Facebook page—needs to understand that they need to be professional, kind, and articulate.
There are as many ways to build an effective social media team as there are companies that need social media teams, so be sure to take the specific needs of your company's brand into consideration when putting your team together.

If you don't think IoT security is a serious topic, just ask St. Jude Medical Inc. Their stock dropped after a hedge fund, Muddy Waters, shorted a large quantity of the stock after disclosing vulnerable connected medical devices, including pacemakers and implantable defibrillators (ICD) made by the company.
There's a lot to talk about with this particular piece of news: medical device hacking, questions of disclosure, the suggestion that "none of their competitors are anywhere close to this bad," and others. Also, as Politico pointed out: "St. Jude Medical's stock ended the day around $78, a loss of five percent on the day, after what seems to have been the first activist investor attack over cyber concerns."
The allegation seems to have already had some pretty serious implications for the company, and there's no telling what will happen if the claims prove to be true. With these connected devices representing half of St. Jude's revenue stream, any recall or vulnerabilities could even put the sale of St. Jude to Abbott Laboratories at risk. Device manufacturers take heed - the financial implications of cybersecurity negligence is real.
This is certainly not the first (or last) medical device vulnerability that has been discussed. From the original insulin pump and pacemaker vulnerabilities to the potential for brain implants, the field has proven to be too important for security pros to ignore. As the benefits, and profits, of connected medical devices have become clearer, the risks are often overlooked and it's unclear how many wirelessly-connected medical devices have vulnerabilities. MedSec seems to think so as well, as the company's career page is currently focused on looking for "individuals with RF experience."
On the questions of disclosure I'll keep it short: disclosure through profit-seeking hedge funds is definitely different but introduces a new type of moral hazard. There's also the question of whether St. Jude is the exception, or the norm for security standards- as Josh Corman pointed out for Reuters. He "was surprised St. Jude had been singled out...[he] was aware of other non-public research showing other device makers have cyber vulnerabilities."
This incident marks the first time the security of an IoT device has had such a direct impact on a company's financials, but we certainly don't think it will be the last.

We humans have gathered for festivals of every sort since time immemorial, and yet somehow, more recently, this joyful occurrence has been more associated with "festival fashion" than anything else. In the fashion mags that we pretend not to read in waiting rooms, we see a fixation on what everyone wears to such an event. And don't get me wrong—there's truly nowhere else a gold-flecked, feather-bedecked headband is so delightfully fitting.
The biggest headliner music fests have succeeded in painting these events in a more trite kind of light. And the huge ones are a giant, sticky to-do with ridiculous room rates and ticket prices that could clear out your season-pass savings.
But don't write festivals off just yet. There are countless small and mid-scale music fests around the country, and if you pick right and plan right, you'll have the time of your life. For those of us who often unwind by disconnecting fully from society on, say, a solitary backcountry trip, it feels like a different flavor of fun. Surrounded by fellow revelers and music enthusiasts, you enter a parallel realm of existence that's part escape, part community.
So let the larger herd shell out piles of cash and battle the crowds at festivals that have become their own cultural forces. Here's how the small-fest uninitiated can play things a little differently.
You don't have to plan everything. But do plan some things.
Don't stress the details—but at least know what you're working with. If you fly by the seat of your pants and don't reserve a camp spot, you're going to miss the first day of shows, aimlessly circling around the nearest BLM parcel looking for a place you can put up a tent by daylight.
Same goes with food and booze: what's available? What time of day are vendor stands open? How long are the lines? What role will they fill in keeping your tummy satisfied—are you going to stand in line for every meal or will you have your cooler and food bags stocked with goods to get you through?
Does the crowd stand and dance, or will you be psyched you brought a picnic blanket and camp chairs? Is hula-hooping a "thing"? Where are dogs allowed? And what's the nearest place you can pick up a refrigerated six-pack?
What to wear matters deeply—comfort-wise anyway.
As mentioned above, by all means, any event with the word "festival" in the title is permission to throw convention to the wind. This is about fun and ditching convention the second you enter the parking lot. But you should be just a little calculated about it: if temps might be scorching during the day or a storm might roll in, it pays to be prepared. Because like any other outdoor activity, it's only as fun as you are comfortable. Stash a few layers in your tote bag or pack, then bask in the payoff.
Use festivals as an excuse to travel—or a reason to get to know your own region better.
We in Utah are pretty psyched on our own Bonanza Campout, Salt Lake Jazz Festival, and the Mystic Hot Springs Festival. And our friends to the north in the Tetons sure know how to serve up a good time with their Targhee Fest and Targhee Bluegrass Festival. And the Telluride Music Festival over in Colorado? Say no more.
Find funky festivals small and large, in places you've always wanted to visit or right in your backyard. A festival is the perfect excuse to load up the car and check out someplace new.
Tack on active adventure before, after, or during.
Many of us get incredibly restless after a couple days of "relaxation," no matter how good the local craft brews are or how dance-able the music is. If you find festivals near outdoor adventure opportunities, you can blend the best of both worlds. There's nothing better than getting a mountain-bike ride in before spending the afternoon gleefully singing along to Michael Franti for the twenty-fourth time in your adult life.
Check out the Mountain Music Festival in West Virginia, where the New River Gorge and all its attending adventures await outside the festival gates. Or head to the Joshua Tree Music Festival and tack on a couple days of primo climbing. You can even head south of the border to the Genius Loci Fest in Baja California to pair surfing with music (and, obviously, ceviche).
Tell us about your favorite festivals and all the adventures you tack on along the way. We won't necessarily steal your ideas. We'll just share in them. See you there.

"The FRA does not have the authority to hack computers," says Peter Rådberg, member of the Riksdag's Standing Committee on Defence.
On 24 April this year, General Keith Alexander, head of the National Security Agency (NSA), received a Swedish delegation headed by then Director-General of the FRA, Ingvar Åkesson. It was an impressive roster of NSA agents who met the seven delegates from the Swedish FRA. Over the course of three days of discussions, they reviewed their close collaboration point for point. At the top of the Swedish delegation's agenda was Operation "WINTERLIGHT".
The document describing this meeting came from Edward Snowden, who in turn leaked the material from the NSA. At the top of the document are the words "TOP SECRET" and "NOFORN" ("No Foreigners"), meaning that the contents cannot be spread even to the NSA's partners.
The document is an internal memo in preparation for what the NSA described as a "strategic planning conference" for "SWEDUSA" – the very close intelligence collaboration between Sweden and the United States. The conference was held on 24–26 April this year, just a few weeks before Edward Snowden travelled to Hong Kong to leak this memo along with thousands of other secret documents.
On the first page of the memo, we read that the Swedish delegation had questions about the "Quantum project".
"FRA requested a WINTERLIGHT (Quantum project) update…"
Later in the same memo, General Keith Alexander received instructions on the Swedish–American collaboration.
"Acknowledge the success that NSA, FRA … have had on WINTERLIGHT"
But WINTERLIGHT is not just any joint project. It is designated as a "Quantum operation", and "Quantum" is the NSA's secret hacking programme.
"Quantum inserts is a kind of hacking," explains Ryan Gallagher, a journalist who helped Uppdrag Granskning analyse the Snowden documents on Sweden, "where they can infect a computer with a kind of malware, or a kind of spyware, in order to get access to their computer and take control of their data and then exfiltrate that data. You would normally see these kind of tactics being adopted by criminal hackers. But spy agencies use it for a different purpose; they use a similar tactic to infiltrate computers to gather intelligence. Usually particular targets – people. That's what this quantum process is."
Quantum operations are controlled by one of the most central divisions of the NSA, called Tailored Access Operations (TAO). This division also participated in the Swedish–American summit in April, where the Quantum project was discussed in several seminars.
A joint task of the FRA and NSA is to spy on targets that are potential threats to each country's security. But it's not only suspected terrorists that are targets of the Quantum hacking programme. According to previous Snowden leaks, the NSA and its British equivalent, GCHQ, have also hacked users of the Internet service TOR, which enables anonymous surfing; OPEC's headquarters in Vienna; and the Belgian telecoms company Belgacom. Some of Belgacom's customers include the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. To access data and telecom traffic, they conducted a hacker attack.
A simplified description of the attacks is as follows:
All internet traffic passes through hubs before spreading across the world. Here, in the "backbone" of the Internet, the intelligence agency places out Quantum servers. These servers let all traffic pass through, except for the signals from the computers the agency wants to hack. These are redirected (referred to as a "tip" or "tipping") to special servers with a single purpose – to access these computers in what are called "shots". The NSA calls these special servers "FoxAcid".
The method is called the "man in the middle" method, and the intelligence agency's computers need to be so fast that they can identify the target, redirect to the server with malware, and back to the target's computer in one "shot" before the server that the target wanted to surf has time to respond.
100 shots
Who the FRA targeted in operation WINTERLIGHT is not indicated. However, the number of attacks – or "shots" – that were carried out and how many computers were taken over and redirected to the British intelligence agency GHCQ, is:
"…100 shots, five of which were successfully redirected to the GCHQ server."
"The FRA appears to have played quite a crucial role in this process," says journalist Ryan Gallagher. "To tip off – they use the term tipping – a target's computer to be infected with the malware and have their data exfiltrated."
To be certain that the FRA actively participated in the hacking operation, we ask one of the world's leading computer security experts, Bruce Schneier, to review the technical formulations in the NSA's secret documents.
"Both Quantum and FoxAcid are NSA/GCHQ programmes to attack computer users," he says. "It listens to what they are doing and then attacks them. The fact that Sweden is involved in these programmes means that Sweden is involved in active attacks against internet users. It is not just passive monitoring. This is an active attack."
Without any doubt?
Schneier: "Yeah, without any doubt! That document shows that the FRA is doing active attacks."
"Active signals intelligence"
To understand what is so controversial about the FRA's participation in the Quantum operation, we need to go back to 13 May 2008 and the headquarters of the Standing Committee on Defence in the Swedish Riksdag. FRA Director-General Ingvar Åkesson was called in for questioning regarding the new FRA law and rumours that the FRA does not want to simply passively intercept messages in the telecom and computer networks, but also wants to conduct what is called "active signals intelligence" – i.e. computer hacking – to access people's computers.
"The most important question I personally asked was whether the FRA was conducting any active signals intelligence. And the FRA chief said no to that." says Peter Rådberg (Green Party), member of the Riksdag's Standing Committee on Defence.
The FRA chief was also asked whether the new FRA legislation would make active signals intelligence – hacking – legal.
"We asked a question as to whether it was legal for the FRA to conduct active signals intelligence gathering, and he said no to that," Rådberg says.
He said that clearly?
Rådberg: "It was clear!"
Did that reassure you?
Rådberg: "If the FRA chief says no to such a clear question, you have to assume that it's the truth."
Peter Rådberg does not see that the legal conditions have changed today.
"The FRA are not allowed to carry out active signals intelligence gathering today," he says.
The newly appointed Director-General of the FRA, Dag Hartelius, declined to be interviewed.
"I cannot discuss that type of information about specific tools or methods," says FRA spokesman Fredrik Wallin, "but in general I can say that we follow the laws that apply to our operations, and we have permits from the Defence Intelligence Court for all of our intelligence gathering, regardless of the tools or methods used."
In an e-mail to SVT, the former FRA chief Ingvar Åkesson expresses regret that a discussion has arisen about how the Standing Committee on Defence perceived his statements. All signals intelligence conducted under his watch was in accordance with Swedish law. Åkesson declined to comment whether the FRA has participated in the Quantum hacking programme.
Comments from the British GCHQ.
Comment from NSA spokesperson Vanee M. Vines:
"We will not publicly comment on any specific alleged intelligence activity, and the US government has made it clear that the United States gathers the same type of intelligence that all nations do."

I ripped into these figures quick smart once I decided to break the seal - or should that be once the ram touched the wall? I've seen the HBO series Rome too many times to be able to resist leaping into a second Roman army so here is the first of many cohorts to come. Contrary to my usual practice, all figures are from the same manufacturer - Warlord Games Caesar's Legions.
I've never created a plastic infantry unit before and I have to report that these gents were easy to assemble and great to paint. I truly enjoyed myself creating a speculative Legio XI and being able to put my invented shield design into practice.
I used two different skin tones (only subtle) and two different off-white tunic colour schemes. It's obvious from this overhead shot that I went with a scattering of iron helmets in the mix also. I've not used any filters when Photoshoping so what you see is what I got. I am very keen to take on the first cohort (double strength) next.
I included three replacement shields in the group as I wanted to represent what an unpainted field replacement might have looked like - quickly stenciled black over rawhide. The horse symbols representing Neptune are Veni Vidi Vici 28mm decals, fixed and then settled with Microsol, matte coated then the shields were lightly black- washed before matte varnishing.
I will paint alternate green shields with the same design for other cohorts and even mix a few green shields in largely blue units and some greens in with blue shielded cohorts. I want as much of the legion represented to depict something of a transition stage. I also happen to be having difficulty choosing between the two so I can have both - can't I? Standing back it should look relatively congruous.
I'm not sure why the packs come with a trumpet and not a cornicern. Also, the standard has no awards on it so it's just a plain shaft. I'll be mucking about with the next one. They have a bull so let's say these chaps are from northern Italy.
My next unit will have gladius in the front ranks with pilum in the rear I think. The pilum armed figures require significant depth so they are occupying a six figure base end-on which I had measured for a front-on formation in two ranks. I have used the same bases I had cut but have used six instead of four to base the 24 figures. Anyway, it's back to the Crimea before Christmas.

No more cleaning: Fraunhofer IWS, TU Dresden and Airbus produce water- and dirt-repellent nanostructures on aircraft surfaces
Micro fishbones to stop car fuel thirst
Dresden Fraunhofer engineers are working on reducing the fuel consumption of cars by more than a tenth. They use ultra-short laser pulses to generate very fine and friction-reducing fishbone patterns in engines.
Dr. Udo Klotzbach from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS) in Dresden estimates that if selected individual parts in combustion engines were treated with this process, cars could save several percent gasoline or diesel. "If we also use it to machine plain bearings, rolling bearings and other moving vehicle parts and calculate this for the entire car, we can even achieve savings in the double-digit percentage range," he is convinced. This technology could also significantly reduce losses in electric cars and other machines. "In addition, the components last about 30 percent longer on average," emphasizes the 52-year-old electrical engineer.
When the pistons in a car engine move up and down several thousand times a minute, they rub against the inner wall of the cylinder. This friction slows them down, wastes kinetic energy and ultimately also fuel. In addition, small material losses and deformations damage the engine over time - up to the notorious "piston seizure".
Friction wastes up to seven percent of Germany's economic output
Similar friction problems arise in many machines, for example in locomotives and milling machines. Even modern electric cars waste part of their battery charge through friction in the electric motor and other moving parts. Forecasts indicate that friction and the associated wear consume two to seven percent of Germany's annual economic output. Although friction cannot be completely avoided, however, it can be reduced. As an example, IWS experts have tested their anti-friction technologies on piston rings. Such rings enclose the engine pistons like a seal to keep lubricating oil away from the combustion chamber.
Microscopic oil flow delta lubricates the engine
A new feature is photonic structuring: lasers emit very short but high-energy light pulses. Scientists thus generate a few micrometers (thousandths of a millimeter) of small holes on the piston rings. As a result, patterns are created that are barely perceptible to the naked eye but look like drainage channels or fishbones under the microscope. These bone patterns have two functions, explains Dr. Udo Klotzbach: "On the one hand, they reduce the areas that can rub against the cylinder wall at all. On the other hand, the channels direct the engine oil to the areas where the greatest frictional losses normally occur. In a sense, if we stick to the fishbone, its spine is the channel through which new oil flows when needed." This causes a protective oil film to float between the ring and the inner wall of the cylinder at all times when the engine is running.
Extremely short laser pulses dig precise patterns
However, the laser must generate the bone pattern with high precision without producing sharp burrs. This is why IWS scientists also employ the ultra-short pulse lasers mentioned above: These lasers emit light pulses that often only last 500 femtoseconds. In comparison, two trillion such pulses are needed until a whole second has passed. "Because these pulses are so short, the material hardly heats up," explains Dr. Klotzbach. "There are virtually no undesired effects on the material."
In the meantime, Fraunhofer engineers have also developed laser speeds that allow the technology to be used in mass production. They are now testing this process together with partners from the automotive industry. IWS scientists are also exploring other applications for their micro fishbones, for example in mechanical engineering and for sports equipment.

Benign tumors originate from the epithelium lining the rectum (adenomatous polyps), connective and muscular tissue fibroids, lipoma, myoma), and also vessels and nerves (angioma, neurinomas). These tumors are located in the thickness of the wall or hang in a gap in the form of dense polypoid growths. Foreign body sensation, increased the urge, the mucus, sometimes constipation - this is the clinical picture of the disease onset. Accelerated growth, decay, pitting the tumor may be suspicious about malignant its transformation. These tumors are available accomplish digital examination and rectoscopy, but to establish their true nature is possible only after microscopic examination.
Treatment of benign tissue and muscle tumors is their excision, and in the presence of elongated legs from mucous-submucous tissue is cut off with lacing grounds for hemostasis. Tumors of the big sizes, located high or vnutristennaya sometimes have to make resection of part of the rectum.
From benign epithelial tumors most attention should attract adenomatous polyps [synonym: villous tumor of the colon (tumor vilosus), papillary adenoma, adenopathy, polypoda adenoma]encountered quite often in the form of separate entities or multiple growths, which gives grounds to speak about polyposis rectum or even the entire colon. Meet and so-called false polypous education (pseudoprime); the basis of such "polyp" is fibrous or lymphoid tissue (pseudopolyposis lymphatica), covered unchanged mucous membrane. The emergence of adenomatous polyps of the rectum is connected with the violation of proliferation and differentiation of epithelial mucous membrane bowel. A significant role is played by a family predisposition to proliferative responses and education polypous growths mucosa (the so-called familial polyposis in several generations of the same family). Long-term chronic proctitis and practicality with the formation of ulcers and cicatrical changes in the wall of the intestine also often accompanied multiple polypous growths. Multiple polyposis, which affects simultaneously and other departments of the intestine, characterized by a prolonged debilitating diarrhea with weight loss and anemia. 10-15% of polyps turn into cancer. Some authors believe that from 60 to 90% of all cancers arise from polyps.
Polyps are relatively easy to recognize when the finger feeling and rectoscopy (Fig. 2). X-ray examination can identify and more highly located polyps. Biopsy clarifies the structure of polyps and the presence of signs of malignancy.
Treatment solitary polyps of the rectum is to cut off their electropedia or electrocautery through a proctoscope for the reception 1-2 (Fig. 3). Coagulate should not only wystawy in the lumen part of the polyp, but its base, where there may be pockets of proliferation. Produce histological examination of tissue removed.
At detection of signs of atypical and infiltrating growth must either take a broader intervention, either to strictly observe the patient in case of relapse to take more radical treatment.

We were asked to take Rico by a someone who had been approached by a guy on Facebook who claimed to have been made homeless and asked for help to rehome his dog. He had got Rico from a lady on a farm apparently so was already in his second home that we know of. Whilst she searched for a rescue, Rico was rehomed by this guy but they sent him back after 12 hours for being 'too big' and he chased their cat. This home had young children and he was fine with them bar being boisterous. The lady having secured rescue back up for Rico placed him into a foster home but she gave up on him after 2 days as he snapped at a dog she was boarding and the rescue that was supposed to be supplying the back withdrew their offer! With some fundraising Rico was boarded in commercial kennels until we were asked to help and offered him a space.
Rico is a GSD cross Rottie who is 13 months old. Now neutered, his vaccinations have been started and he is microchipped. No young children to his size and boisterousness. Has shown no aggression towards other dogs but yet to be properly socialised. A not to cats.
Rico is a small pony in disguise of a dog. He is big and strong but just as daft to go with it. He will need a confident and strong owner who can give him the training and boundaries he so desperately needs, but being such a baby still, in the right home he will flourish.
Are you Rico's special home?
Rico has got himself a new dad.

In 2020, the Emirate of Dubai is hosting EXPO 2020, an international showcase of emerging technology and innovative ideas from around the world. In addition to the construction of the EXPO facilities, the Emirate will construct an extension to their existing rapid transit rail system to ferry visitors to the EXPO facilities. This project is referred to as EXPOlink 2020, and Jacobs are tasked with its delivery and commissioning before the opening of the EXPO.
Dubai is a dry desert country, with mean annual rainfall totals of 10 mm/year. It is also one of the fastest urbanising countries in the world, a trend which is expected to continue well into the future. Due to the dry environment, little attention has been paid to drainage infrastructure master planning in the past.
The combination of rapid development and a lack of drainage infrastructure has led to widespread urban flooding during the heavy rainfall in recent years. The Dubai Municipality requested that all design efforts for the EXPO facilities and EXPOlink 2020 incorporate projected flood levels to reduce the risk of damage to infrastructure assets and loss of human life.
A 2D hydraulic model was needed to perform the analysis for this project because of the complex flow patterns in the urban environment. The timeframe to complete the modelling for the project was short, and Jacobs selected Flood Modeller to execute a flood study for the EXPOlink 2020 project because the software offered a combination of features that were necessary for successful execution including:
- An advanced 2D solver (ADI) that accelerated the model calculations
- Rapid model development that integrates both hydrologic and hydraulic modelling
- Various graphical output options that allowed for easy presentation and sharing of the results
A topographical 3m grid surface was created from laser scanning survey data to create a detailed topographic surface for the project. The runoff calculations were performed using a combination of direct 2D runoff calculations on the surface, as well as 1D hydrology to calculation runoff from lateral drainage areas onto the surface. This approach compressed the time frame for modelling while making the best use of the available data. The modelling included four hydrologic events (50- and 100-year events, 6-hour and 24-hour durations) as well as worst case scenarios for flooding resulting from pipe bursting (potable water, irrigation, cooling water, and sanitary forcemain).
Multiple simulations were run simultaneously on a cluster of 11 computers to obtain the final 2D depth and water surface elevation grids for the project. The Municipality were pleased with the results and have instructed that they be incorporated into the design of the stations along the proposed EXPOlink 2020 route.
