How And Why The Oscars Came Up Short In Black History Month (Wakanda Forever!)
By Donald Lyons
(AllHipHop Opinion) Hot damn what a Black History Month it's been!!!
To business…
I personally think that "Black Panther" should have won Best Picture.
For those who think it was, "just a superhero movie"...you are dense and likely heartless, conditioned and uncultured. I'm kidding of course but I've encountered many folks in various discussions I've had over this past year since the film's release who are inclined to be willfully obtuse and wholly dismissive of considering the context framing the argument for this film to be considered "Best Picture". In my honest opinion, "Best Picture" should also consider if a film does something that's never been done before and does it well. Consider this… Think of EVERY Black film that's never been greenlit. Think of what those pitch meetings had to have sounded like. Think of the impossible benchmarks that had been set before the writers, producers and artists with a vision to make art that represented their demographic. Think also of them being told how impossible it would be to not only make that artistic vision but also that what they dreamed and passionately described just held no appeal or value. We certainly have an idea of what those encounters were like because there are generations of Black Directors, Black Actors/Actresses (aspiring and otherwise) that have chronicled the ongoing struggle of trying to get quality films made in their image. They have chronicled the myriad of obstacles presented in trying to find and create roles of dignity, substance, inclusion and diversity. These Black artists time and again have been dashed against the largely unmoved Academy. I remember the movie "Hollywood Shuffle" vividly and how it challenged many of the racist and stereotypical tropes that have been foisted on actors and actresses of color….Black or otherwise.
Somehow the Academy Awards manages to let down people of color year after year. Sadly, the ceremony is now old enough to say, "generation after generation". The Academy of Arts and Sciences perpetuates and participates in what I can only describe as a stringent dedication to cultural callousness and wholesale propaganda. The film that took this year's top prize; "The Green Book" is nothing more than another racist with a heart of gold feel good story. The grand selling point per the usual, tired Hollywood trope is that the events of the film take place yet again at a time where there was a stark, contentious racial and cultural divide where two souls from these different backgrounds grudgingly and awkwardly find a mutual and a generally implied transformative and lasting respect that transcends these social and racially charged lines of demarcation and defies the time they live in. What is disconcerting is that those times have largely gone nowhere and those old social mores are again rapidly descending upon these times. What is also ugly and further horrifying about that film is that we are discovering that it is a fabrication of events that serve to run roughshod over the family of the other principle character. Yes…another Black life summarily dismissed by fictive and unscrupulous men. What I need to know is how a supporting actor can upstage a film's lead actor and the film still wins Best Picture? Given also what is coming to light concerning the conduct of the writers and producers of the Green Book I wonder how the Academy can afford to continue to support their decision to award that film top honors. That certainly is a different argument that needs addressing.
Why do I think "Black Panther" deserved to win Best Picture?
Well, given everything we've ever heard and every obstacle described by Artists of Color. There was just no way that a movie with a story like this would ever appeal to a mainstream audience. History, according to Hollywood, also dictates that a movie like this…that looks like this…sounds like this…with a cast like this has no chance of being made much less will attract moviegoers or make money. Ask yourself now what actually happened when this film got made? During the time it was reigning at the Box office it had made the most money for its assigned genre; maybe in history. If it didn't it was damned sure close. The immediate takeaway is that a Black film with an All Black ensemble cast crossed the Billion dollar threshold. A critical thinker would think to him/herself, "…that's a barrier broken… *THEY* said this couldn't be done…". That's a case of art…previously marginalized by genre and by ethnic/racial composition, finding a way to the mainstream. A profit line that breaks the billion dollar mark just might mean the mainstream is seeking this content. The rejected stone is now the cornerstone… Paradigm shift.
Well…what about substance?
Some would argue that art inspires higher thinking, inspires interaction and dialogue, challenges conventions…etc... Black Panther made several social, political and cultural points that's NEVER been made in this manner... That said, not many people are of the opinion that a superhero film can be substantive. Yeah…it's a "superhero movie", but imagine a superhero film positing the question, what would a free, uncolonized and unmolested Africa look like? How would its denizens behave? What are the perils of isolationism? The advantages? What about immigration? Ethical diplomacy? The sharing of ideals? The handling and disposition of scarce resources? In saying all of that, how many children saw,"Black Panther" and began to see themselves and their peers clearer? How many more children of color? How many began to ask their parents questions about the world and ethical behavior? Addressing my own vanity, I can't tell you how happy it made me to see little boys and girls who look like I do BEAMING and so inspired to see themselves as heroes, warriors, scientists, futurists…royalty .
There are world renowned and respected scholars today that can't get this level of traction with this wide of an audience over many of the social, ethical, and sociopolitical issues we face still in society at large. Perhaps this piece of art can be conducive to bridging that gap. Art has been described as a portal to scholarship, fellowship and understanding. In this respect, I say art is a mirror. What if all the role models you could ever know or learn from were restricted to words and/or images? We tell stories not only to entertain but to edify and inspire. Where would we be without, "The Iliad", "Aesop's Fables", "The Brothers Grimm", "Uncle Remus"… Hercules, Athena, Perseus, Anansi, Hiawatha… Superman, Wonder Woman… Why not T'Challa, Shuri, or Okoye? Many of our greatest modern inventions were dreams before they became reality. Why would we not dream of freedom, higher consciousness and ethics as they still evolve. One of the themes engaged in Black Panther is that technology should not trump ethical behavior or justice. Substance.
I can hear the counter arguments beginning to already form a line right here:
"...Money is usually NEVER the basis for a movie to win the Academy's top prize…" Consider that a film like this was almost unheard of just outside of a decade ago. It's an even longer shot when you insert the employ of a majority Black ensemble cast for a film of this magnitude and scope. Look what happens when our art and expression gets funded.
"…What about all the awards it did win? Isn't it a milestone for Marvel?" I did consider all the other awards it won. I think those awards are well deserved but Hollywood ain't slick. Hollywood wants folks to pipe down about the perceived Black Panther snub with that ready-made, primary pre-loaded retort. Well... So What???!? Should that disqualify it as "Best Picture"? It appears they and many other folks rushing to defend Hollywood's honor justify their opinions with Black Panther winning more Oscars than any other superhero film in history...and that justification is flawed. How did this film make over a BILLION dollars? It can't have just because of what it looked and sounded like. The history of the decision makers tells us that these players, this Black cast can't get to be successful dressing in non-traditional garb while a driving, unconventional soundtrack invokes the heartbeat of both Africa and the frenetic stress of Black America.
If there was no substance at all it would not have inspired the apparent global resonance that it did. This movie was more than a mixtape married to a fashion show. This movie was defiant of the old guard's conventions and flaunted them. This movie was a statement that we can no longer be ignored. Dollars are votes too. Those votes guarantee we'll see this template expand…..and IT IS a template. Something new and unheard of. So Hollywood; are the clear majority of moviegoers stupid? The clear majority of moviegoers that saw the film let the world know that not only was Wakanda Forever but Wakanda is EVERYWHERE. Apparently, moviegoers liked it enough to send it over the billion-dollar mark. Maybe this was the real feel good story. Nah....The Academy just said the movie is pretty…the music is avant garde but it ain't (expletive deleted). Essentially...Hollywood just called it an empty movie given all the awards it won and not Best Picture. This is why the Oscars got it wrong... They cannot embrace this *record breaking paradigm shift*....this *worldwide cultural phenomenon* of a film... The worldwide box office has spoken about a film that has transcended category and generations of misrepresentation. We celebrate this film because we too often have been asked to embrace our images depicted in the worst ways and as the lowliest of the hopeless and disgusting things. This film proves that representation matters and that art can assist in forging a vehicle of acceptance.
I'm inclined to partially amend my initial assertion. Somehow the Academy Awards manages to let down *all* the movie goers year after year…generation after generation. Of course, the "White Savior/white redemption" picture won! Maybe the more relevant question is why are we still watching? Why should we participate where we're neglected? One thing has become more apparent to me over the course of writing this. We don't need the Academy's validation. The Academy represents nothing but Hollywood lying to themselves and to those of us who continue to watch. We no longer need to ask ourselves what choice Hollywood would make if faced with choosing between tired stereotypical tropes or new art and perspective forged in our image. They are not sold on the viability of a film that depicts strong, Black, self-sufficient characters.
They are not sold on Black characters philosophically challenging indoctrination and pursuing true justice. If given a choice Hollywood would rather take pride in a false, semi biographical, fantastical, and "feel good' racist dreck The Academy of Arts and Sciences is indecent and I hope in some small way this writing is yet another reason for folks to begin to seriously consider withdrawing their support of this institution and tradition.
Take a minute and really consider this…the concept of a fictional Wakanda and a Black ensemble cast made more money and did much to move the needle of mainstream culture toward a balanced perception of the oft marginalized in a two hour span than some published scholarship by some of the best minds engaging the multitude of subjects addressed in the film.it may be a bold and somewhat hyperbolic statement but Black Panther challenges artistic stereotypes and bigotry simply by existing. Besides, we've seen movies like Green Book before. I saw the Academy's brittle ass stiff arm coming...and I'm so surprised so many folks who look like me are dismissive of what the document actually means... You can't claim our history and endless contributions as trendsetting, genre defining, life changing, etc....if your view is narrow and tuned to the status quo...

Trump fires John Bolton as national security adviser
Bolton's deputy will serve as acting NSC adviser
Charles Kupperman was named as the next acting National Security Council director following John Bolton's firing, White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters.
Kupperman had been serving as the deputy national security adviser. He is a longtime Bolton ally and adviser.
"John Bolton's priorities and policies just don't line up with the President's and any sitting president has the right to put someone in that position that can carry out his agenda. That became no longer tenable so the President made a change," Gidley told reporters.
He claimed there was "no one issue" that led to Bolton's firing, and referred reporters to the forthcoming briefing for more information.
Gidley added that the situation with Bolton was "no longer tenable so the President made a change."
White House official: "Bolton is no longer in the building"
Asked if there are any updates to the schedule for the 1:30 p.m. ET briefing, a White House official said John "Bolton is no longer in the building."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin are still planning to hold a news conference soon from the White House.
About Bolton's firing: An hour before the briefing, Trump announced in a tweet that he had fired Bolton. The now-former national security adviser was scheduled to appear at the news conference as well.
Separately, a source close to Bolton told reporters,"Since Ambassador Bolton has been NSC adviser — for the last 17 months — there have no been no bad deals: Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, China."
How lawmakers are reacting to Bolton's firing
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers are reacting to John Bolton's sudden exit as President Trump's national security adviser.
Here's what they have to say:
- Sen. Lindsey Graham: He said that he believes Bolton's views on the Taliban talks "probably was a bridge too far." He added that Bolton served the country well, but the President "deserves a national security adviser he has confidence in."
- Sen. John Kennedy: He said while he respects Bolton, he didn't always agree with him and the move to fire him was the President's call. "I've got a lot of respect for John Bolton. He's got a certain point of view. Sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't— but it was the President's call and he made it," Kennedy said.
- Sen. James Risch: He said he was not going to "wade in" on the make-up of Trump's national security team when asked if he had a reaction to Bolton's ousting.
- House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi: She called Bolton's sudden ouster "a symbol of a disarray in the Trump administration," and that she would have more to say when a replacement was named.
- Sen. Chris Coons: He said lawmakers need to know more about Bolton's abrupt firing and that while it might make for "great television" but doesn't "make for predictable or steady management" of the administration.
Bolton led a meeting this morning with his top team
John Bolton's ouster this morning was so sudden that he even led a meeting of top administration officials, known as a principals committee meeting, this morning, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The source said the meeting — on the topic of refugees — went on as planned and there was no indication that Bolton's firing was imminent. The meeting ended only an hour before the President's tweet.
Most officials learned about Bolton's departure later in the morning from the President's Twitter feed.
Bolton's tactics, style and bravado has irked people for months
Officials have been irritated at John Bolton for a while, not just because of his policy differences but because of the way he conducted himself, according to a source in President Trump's world.
There has been general irritation over his tactics, style and bravado for months, the source said. For example, the source said Bolton has been traveling with a lot of staff, sometimes taking a different plane from the President, "almost acting like the Secretary of State."
But he wasn't just butting heads with Mike Pompeo, he also was strongly disliked by White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.
Bolton and Trump got into bitter argument last night
John Bolton and President Trump got into a heated argument last night, according to two people familiar with what happened, over the President's plan to host Taliban leaders at Camp David.
It's unclear if it was on the phone or in person.
National Security Council officials are wondering about future of the organization after Bolton's firing
Officials at the National Security Council are wondering about the future of their organization after the abrupt firing of John Bolton.
When Bolton arrived in March 2018, he brought with him several officials to fill key roles —and the fate of those officials isn't clear.
As staffers detailed to the NSC phased out, Bolton worked to replace them with people he'd worked with previously and he considered loyal to him. His goal was to have senior leaders in place that were "his people" as the 2020 election season began.
If those officials depart en masse, the NSC will be majorly depleted, so it's not expected they will all follow Bolton out the door.
But there is uncertainty today about what happens next.
The campaign to push Bolton out had ramped up recently
The campaign by Trump allies to push John Bolton out of the administration had ramped up in recent weeks, multiple sources tell CNN.
The President had received multiple phone calls and appeals to replace Bolton with someone who agreed with him more and was willing to follow through with his decisions when he didn't.
This was something Trump heard since he hired Bolton — but people noticed the President's frustration with him was growing in recent weeks so they upped the pressure.
White House and national security officials learned about Bolton firing via tweet
A senior administration official told CNN that the White House and national security officials learned about John Bolton's firing from President Trump's tweet.
The official described aides as frantically trying to figure things out at the moment.

I have been seeing this book a lot on social media and when the beautiful Alison Barrow @alisonbarrow says a book is good, you certainly listen. So I was very excited to recieve this book and could not resist reading this book straightaway.
Stirred by memories from childhood years ago, Tina Hopgood writes to the curator of a Danish museum. She does so without anticipation of response. What happens next is the beginning of a correspondence, a friendship, a telling of lives and stories and the possibility of a future more hopeful than she had anticipated for herself.
Meet Me At The Museum tells of a man and a woman with more of a life behind them than ahead, both of whom face new beginnings when they connect unexpectedly through letters and a shared love of ancient history, personal treasures and nature.
About the Author
Anne had a long and successful career in the motor industry after finishing a degree in English from Birmingham. She most recently worked for Land Rover, as Chief Engineer, Defender replacement and, finally MD of the Special Vehicles Operations. Having taken early retirement, she worked as an Enterprise Advisor to schools, before joining a small consultancy team, working on major skills development programmes for a range of clients.
After leaving the motor industry, she began to take writing more seriously. She did an Undergraduate diploma at the Oxford University Department of Continuing Education and an MA in Creative Writing at Oxford Brookes, achieving a distinction in both.
Anne is married, with two adult children and one grandchild. She has supported many charities in governance roles, including Chair of the Writers in Prison Network, which provides residencies in prisons for professional writers.
She is now studying for a PhD at Oxford Brookes. The creative part of the qualification will be stories which explore how to begin. Her debut novel Meet Me At The Museum has been created as part of this.
This book is released on 17 May 2018, for more information, click here.

Are you "GUI" or "command file"?
A "GUI" (graphical user interface) is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with a computer program through graphical icons and visual indicators (like the windows and icons you used to reach this post).
When you click on a button, a command line is produced behind the scenes. All the Finite Element commercial software I know allows users to directly edit the command files. For example, Ansys has the powerful APDL and Comsol has Livelink.
So, why stick to the text files if you can use colorful and shiny icons? Because it's clearer, you have more control over what the software is doing, and you end up saving time. During the design process, you change parameters here and there, and it is easy to lose control of what you are actually simulating. On the other hand, every time you run your command file, you clean up the problem and you know exactly what you are doing.
For example, take this heat sink simulation (calculated with Elmer at Idra Simulation). The definition of boundary conditions would look like this:
# IDRA SIMULATION- Extract of Elmer command file # all the walls at v=0 Boundary Condition 1 Name = String fluid walls; Target Boundaries(4) = 2 3 4 5 Velocity 1 = Real 0.0 Velocity 2 = Real 0.0 Velocity 3 = Real 0.0 End # Outlet Boundary Condition 2 Name = String exit; Target Boundaries(1) = 1 Pressure = Real 0.0 End # cylindres Boundary Condition 3 Name = String cylindres; Target Boundaries(1) = 3 Velocity 1 = Real 0.0 Velocity 2 = Real 0.0 Velocity 3 = Real 0.0 Temperature = $TCOLD End # Heat Source Body Force 2 Name = Heat Source; Heat Source = 2.0e4 End
…pretty intuitive! And, if you want to vary a parameter, it's easy to create a loop and sweep over different values. There's no need to sit at your computer, manually changing them.
That said, I have nothing against GUI. I use them when I think they will save me time. My point is only that you shouldn't be afraid of the good old command file.

Soccer matches in Greece's top league were suspended indefinitely on Monday after the owner of PAOK FC, one of the most prestigious clubs in the country, went onto the field during a game on Sunday seemingly with a gun holstered on his waist.
Ivan Savvidis stormed the field as PAOK was playing AEK Athens in Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, after a referee disallowed a goal from Fernando Varela, a central defender for PAOK.
Mr. Savvidis, a Greek-Russian tycoon who used to be a member of the Russian parliament, took to the field twice, followed by his personal security. An arrest warrant was issued against him and five people who accompanied him, some of whom were his bodyguards.
Greek football reaches hew heights of chaos. PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis goes on the field after late disallowed goal v AEK... armed. pic.twitter.com/bmbaXzeVHo— Kwame Appiah Kubi 🇬🇭🇳🇬🇷🇼 (@QKubi) March 11, 2018
The warrant accuses Mr. Savvidis of violating sports law by invading the field, though other factors that were at play will also be examined, according to Ioanna Rotziokou, a spokeswoman for the Greek police.
Mr. Savvidis is a legal gun-carrier, which is common for high-profile businessmen, Ms. Rotziokou said in a telephone interview.
According to reports in the Greek news media, not even police officers are allowed to carry arms on soccer fields — a claim that Ms. Rotziokou said is partially true. "Some, not all police officers, have instructions to not carry arms at some parts of the soccer stadium," she said.
The mood was tense even before the start of the match, as a point deduction that had been imposed on PAOK was removed just hours before the match, a decision that could further reduce the credibility of the league.
The incident was the latest blow to Greek soccer's reputation after years of tumult and scandal, which mainly related to claims of match fixing and referee intimidation.
"For the past three years, the government has been trying to clean up the suffering football sector," said Georgios Vassiliadis, the deputy culture and sports minister, after his meeting with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Monday.
Mr. Vassiliadis added that the government's efforts will continue, and that a new set of stricter rules would need to be in place before the suspension of the Super League is lifted.
Football fans turned to social media to denounce the incident, which went viral on Twitter.
Both UEFA and FIFA, the governing bodies of European and world soccer, condemned the episode, but, because it occurred in the context of a national competition, neither are authorized to impose any disciplinary measures.
Later, FIFA issued another statement that said while it could not punish the individuals Greece could be banned from world soccer if appropriate action is not taken "to eradicate all sorts of violence in order to guarantee the smooth running of the national competitions."
Both FIFA and the UEFA had parachuted in experts in recent years to help restore confidence and improve standards.
The incident on Sunday occurred less than two weeks after 58 people — including club owners, players and officials — were convicted after a seven-year investigation into allegations of widespread match-fixing in Greek soccer, centering on the accusation that certain clubs conspired to ensure they were given friendly refereeing.
The scandal has left many in the sport with little or no trust in the integrity of the competition. At one point, Olympiacos, the country's most successful team — whose owner was implicated in the case but ultimately not charged — even called for foreign referees to be hired to guarantee impartiality.

Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity Allows Companies to Maintain Full Security Control "Under the Hood"
As the work environment becomes increasingly mobile, and more devices than ever before are connecting to company networks, security challenges are increasing exponentially. Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity has developed technologies to keep networks secure by isolating sensitive data from the open internet while allowing employees to continue to use their applications without any additional steps or new skills.
Please tell us a little bit about your background and current position at Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity.
My background is a very technical one. I've been in IT security for over 15 years. I was with HP Labs in the UK for ten years working on IT security, networking data center, high-speed networks and so on. About five years ago I joined Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity.
Recovering from the March 22 cyber-attack has already cost the city of Atlanta $2.7 million, and that number is expected to rise. How can your R&S®Browser in the Box protect local governments and companies, for that matter, who may have limited cybersecurity budgets and outdated technology?
Our R&S®Browser in the Box addresses one of the biggest issues we face today: protecting ourselves and our data while browsing the internet. In the end, it is a simple product, but it addresses these threats by separating your data from the internet, assuring secure browsing. Any site you visit, any file you download, is always contained in the virtual machine and cannot cross over into the platform where you keep your confidential or sensitive data. It's a very effective product because whenever the browser is closed, all the data in the browser gets destroyed and whenever it is opened again it is a completely fresh browser. This assures malware cannot persist on the platform and furthermore offers ways to separate what is your internet and what is your trusted internal data. It is seamlessly integrated into the Windows environment, so it's transparent to the user and has no learning curve.
Additionally, the browser is running on a virtual machine using its own file system with no access to anything on the real system, so it does not actually see any of the files on the computer. It's like a separate machine on your PC which makes it is impossible for malware to either spy on your computer files or to spread to your system.
Another security aspect is that the browser uses a VPN connection gateway located at your headquarters. In this way, even if the browser gets compromised with malware it wants to spread, it is restricted and cannot get onto your LAN since it is located outside of your network.
What if a company needs to download files from the internet?
For those cases, we have created Information Flow Control to regulate when information crosses from one domain to another, like from the internet to your intranet. For a user to transfer his downloaded files to his local file system, the company's security administrator needs to allow for that activity by setting up a provision in the central management system. They can also set a policy that only allows certain types of files. The file can then be placed in a "staging area" sort of like a sandbox where virus scanners or other filters can be applied. Only if the file passes those scans will it then be allowed to be transferred onto a local host or file system.
It is important to understand that it is not a decision of the user, but rather the decision of the security administrator to determine who can download what type of file and what mechanism should be in place to scan that the file. Only once those security controls are in place can files be downloaded to the file system and kept permanently.
What are the biggest issues with security for mobile devices and how does your R&S®Trusted Mobile product help keep them secure?
As mobile devices are being used more and more for business and government purposes, their security is also becoming more important. With R&S®Trusted Mobile, companies can provide their employees with a cell phone that looks like a regular Android phone but actually has two parts. One is what we call the "personal area" where a user has full control and can download Facebook, Google Apps, games, etc. That personal area has a direct connection to the internet and is unrestricted for personal use. Then on the other side, it has what we call the "business area" which is highly restricted. This is where all the business apps such as your mail client, your secure browser, etc. are pre-installed on the phone by the company. These business apps don't go directly to the internet but rather through a VPN gateway at the corporate site where the security administrator decides which business apps can go on the internet or just allowed to go to the intranet. Or maybe the admin wants to allow business apps only able to reach the mail server and some internal file server, but not the internet.
This way users don't have to start a VPN client or look after security themselves as it's all done under the hood by the R&S®Trusted Mobile platform. So, there is one device, but it has sort of has two personas, one for personal use and the other for business. The platform ensures that you can use your device securely for processing sensitive data and reading confidential emails, while at the same time on the same device you can have your FB, your WhatsApp, etc. The platform enforces the separation, so this is a bit like the Bring Your Own Device idea that people don't need to have multiple phones for their personal use while R&S®Trusted Mobile operates to secure corporate data.
How does R&S Trusted Gate – Solution for Office 365 protect business-critical information contained in Microsoft Office 365 applications?
R&S®Trusted Gate – Solution for Office 365 is one of our most exciting products! It focuses on a secure PC, laptop, or tablet in the Windows environment. It's a very efficient component that sits on your infrastructure, securely processing, intercepting, and encrypting data on the fly before it is moved out into the public or onto the cloud. Those encrypted data chunks are then completely under your control, so you can either keep your data on-site or once encrypted, securely store it on public clouds. R&S®Trusted Gate runs completely seamlessly under the hood, so there is no change in the way employees use Office products, cloud products, Sharepoint, etc.
What new security risks have been created by the emergence of the IoT (Internet of Things) and what solutions have you developed?
At Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity, we have a strong background in hardware security and hardware security modules, and since IoT space is a very big area, we have different offerings. For example, firewall and network analytics products which focus more and more on the protocols used in the IoT space helping to protect the network and IoT solutions. We're working with factories to ensure the connectivity of their machines while securing IoT devices and protecting their network. We also have secure Linuxware that is going in the direction of IoT.
Additionally, we have different technologies that can identify and authenticate a device, allow secure updates for that device, have a secure crypto implementation, and also have network connectivity and network encryption for those kinds of devices.

Part of the thrust behind my previous post is a realization that God does not annihilate the individual. God restores the individual.
Note the difference between individuality and individualism. Individuality is a psychological and social fact: Each person is different and distinct. (Years ago, I knew a Calvinist teacher who said, "God made you to be you and not somebody else.") However, individualism emphasizes the individual to a greater degree than a social group or political system.
While Saint Paul exhorts us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, some Christians speak as though the mission of spiritual growth is to kill the mind (a central component to individuality) and to become a kind of puppet.
Think of C.S. Lewis's images of statues in both Mere Christianity and The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe: They become (or return to) living beings, becoming more than what they were, whereas some church circles I have observed seemed to believe Christians should become less than what they were.
Or better yet, from Lewis's essay, "Two Ways with the Self:"
Even the New Testament bids me to love my neighbor 'as myself,' which would be a horrible command if the self were simply to be hated….
Even Christians, if they accept in certain forms the doctrine of total depravity, are not always free from the danger [of cynicism, of taking a 'low view' of all souls]. The logical conclusion of the process is the worship of suffering — for others as well as for the self ….
The wrong asceticism torments the self; the right kind kills selfness….

Designated February 10, 2004
The Thomson Meter Co. Building, among the most aesthetically interesting industrial structures in New York City, is a pioneering American building that employs, in part, a frank exterior expression of its concrete structure. It also displays a fairly early use in New York of polychromatic glazed terracotta. The success of the Thomson Meter Co., founded c. 1890 in Brooklyn to manufacture John Thomson's patented water meters, led to a new 4-story (plus basement) factory, built in 1908-09 to the design of Louis E. Jallade, with the Hennebique Construction Co. as general contractor.
Jallade's use of ceramic ornament, particularly leaf motifs in terra cotta, was clearly influenced by Parisian examples. After Thomson's death, this building was sold in 1927 to the New York Eskimo Pie Corp., a subsidiary of the parent firm, for the regional manufacture of the first American chocolate-covered ice cream bar (created in 1920). Eskimo Pie products were made here until 1966.

About us
Fresh Start Life Recovery & Transitional Program (FSLR&TP) provides recovery support, transitional housing, and life skills education for disadvantaged women seeking recovery from any of the following: homelessness, domestic abuse, human trafficking, prostitution, adult entertainment industry, substance abuse (must be in recovery or completed a recovery program) and any other related circumstance. FSLR&TP prides itself on being the only transitional organization for women in the Tennessee Valley with long-term housing case management. It offers approximately two years of transitional housing and detailed educational programs, whereas other organizations mainly offer six to twelve months of transitional housing with limited educational programs. Additionally, FSLR&TP serves as a liaison for the Alabama Department of Human Resources and offers assistance to clients with family reunification. This is particularly important, since majority of the clients of FSLR&TP do not have custody of their children.
Our organization offers life skills education to clients through an eight-step program that enables effective, independent living. To achieve this, FSLR&TP utilizes a combination of in-house training, along with local and state resources that provide the following: personal case management, personal development, vocational training, on-going substance abuse counseling, interpersonal skills, community involvement, leisure activities, parenting skills, financial skills, evidence-based counseling, group counseling, independent living skills, and faith-based ministry classes. FSLR&TP believes such a combined approach fosters empowerment and is a major key that allows its clients to develop self-sufficiency.
If you would like to donate to FSLR&TP by mail, please make a check payable to:

Modern Homes
Trendspotter: The Secret to Creating an Entertaining Area with Ambience
Creating an outdoor entertaining area with the right ambience is about understanding how to make the most of the space with a design that brings the outdoors in and complements your lifestyle. Read on to learn how to create an outdoor area you'll love entertaining in.
The rise of the outdoor entertaining area
Only a few decades ago the everyday Australian backyard generally consisted of little more than a patch of grass, a BBQ and a Hills Hoist. Today, an outdoor entertaining area is an essential part of many Australian homes serving as an extension of their living space and an appealing place to dine, relax and entertain year-round.
Getting started
The key to a truly ambient entertaining area is to create one that captures your personality and suits the way you live. In planning your outdoor area, think about.
- How it will integrate into your home
- The style and design
- The budget
- The materials you'd like to use
- What you want from the space
- What it's important to you, for example, that it captures the morning sun
- How much time you'll spend maintaining it
In the modern home of a family that likes to entertain, for example, this may see them create an indoor living area that opens onto the outdoor area using bi-fold doors; a second outdoor kitchen to makes cooking and entertaining guests at the same time convenient and social; and a covered decked area with a dining table and in-built couches for everything from lazy afternoon spent outside to hosting dinner parties al fresco.
Love the look?
How to achieve the perfect mood for your outdoor area
Some key factors to consider in creating the right ambience for your outdoor area:
Understand the importance of facade
The facade of your outdoor area is its base and sets the tone for how it looks and feels overall. Using mixed facades can make a modern home look edgy through the blending of different materials. For example, Scyon™ Linea weatherboards painted in stone bring a classic element when paired with the contemporary Scyon™ Stria cladding in grey. Contrasting colours and textures also allow you to add a personal stamp to the design and make it your own.
Need more advice?
Bring the Outside In
The most functional outdoor areas are a seamless extension of the inside of your home. The flow between them should feel natural and connected. This can be achieved through a number of ways, whether through doors that can open out to unite the inside/outside; covered areas (such as decks) that serve as additional living spaces that can be used all-year round; and through clever use of glass, such as floor-to-ceiling windows. Polished concrete floors and timber-look fibre-cement HardieDeck™ can further add to this.
Make the Best Use of the Space
While it's easy to have grand ideas for your outdoor area at the inception, it's important to implement them in a way that makes the most of the space. Consider how the outdoor area will be used and the features you would like to have in it. Explore different ways to address things like storage and seating, for example, in-built outdoor couches or an extended deck.
Personalise the Space
From furniture to foliage to lighting, styling your outdoor space allows you to really personalise it. Think industrial lamps, hardy succulents and dark tone furniture for a modern look. Or a vertical garden, soft strings of fairy lights, and a water feature for a softer style. Creating a colour scheme and theme can help you to pull together a cohesive look that has the right personality and ambience for your outdoor space.

PrimaLoft is launching two new biodegradable technologies: PrimaLoft® Bio™ Insulation and PrimaLoft® Bio™ Performance Fabric, the first first synthetic insulation and synthetic fabric made from 100 percent recycled, biodegradable* fibres. Both are the first technology of its kind.
The basis of both innovations is an improved fibre technology, which allows a highly accelerated bio-degradation under certain environmental conditions. Both PrimaLoft® Bio ™ Performance Fabric and PrimaLoft® Bio ™ Insulation are expected to be commercially available from autumn 2020.
Made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled material, PrimaLoft® Bio™ fibres break down when exposed to specific environments – such as a landfill or the ocean. PrimaLoft has enhanced the fibres to be more attractive to the naturally-occurring microbes found in these environments. The microbes eat away at the fibres at a faster rate, returning the fabric or insulation to natural elements.
As a result, this breakthrough helps to solve the growing problem of microplastics littering the ocean, a significant issue for the textile and other industries. It is estimated that half a million tons of plastic microfibres shed during the washing of plastic-based textiles such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic end up in the ocean every year, according to research from The Ellen Macarthur Foundation. PrimaLoft® Bio™ fibres will only biodegrade when exposed to the naturally-occurring microbes in landfills or bodies of water, thus, the fabric remains highly durable throughout its usable life-cycle in a garment.
Specific test results show 84.1% biodegradation in 423 days under ASTM D5511* conditions (accelerated landfill simulation) and 55.1% in biodegradation in 409 days under ASTM D6691** conditions (accelerated marine simulation).
"With PrimaLoft® Bio, PrimaLoft is leading the charge by redefining what sustainability really means," said Mike Joyce, President and CEO of PrimaLoft. "Recycling is a good start but, we are intent on providing an even better answer to the environmental issues facing our industry. As we have been making sustainable products since 2007, PrimaLoft® Bio speaks to the heart and soul of who we are. We looked at the global issues, including the proliferation of textile waste and microplastics, and determined how PrimaLoft could make a positive impact within our core competencies – material science and polymers. This technology, one of the most significant global technology launches in the company's history, provides a solution at the material level, which was key for our vision."
The idea was born in 2014 from the PrimaLoft product management. After two years of research, it took two years to develop the process and more than a year of testing with an independent lab. "PrimaLoft® Bio has the potential to transform the outdoor and fashion/lifestyle industries' supply chain," said Dr. Charles Lancelot, a materials technologist who worked alongside PrimaLoft during the testing process. "Over 80 percent of discarded textile and garment wastes were landfilled in 2014 in the US, accounting for nearly eight percent of the total waste. This advanced biodegradation technology from PrimaLoft leverages progressive end-of-life material science and demands the attention of every apparel brand interested in making a smaller environmental footprint."
PrimaLoft® Bio expands upon PrimaLoft's commitment to being relentlessly responsible, providing sustainable solutions throughout its business in order to lessen its impact on the earth. To date, PrimaLoft has saved more than 90 million plastic bottles from landfills and transformed them into premium insulation technologies. By 2020, 90 percent of PrimaLoft insulation products will have at least 50 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, without compromising performance. PrimaLoft expects to continue to push the industry forward with a similar commitment to biodegradable technology across its product portfolio.

At the Empire Awards last night, Steven Spielberg revealed that the long-awaited, and soon to heavily scrutinized, Indiana Jones V will start filming in the United Kingdom, April 2019. Below is Spielberg's quote:
"It's always worth the trip when I get to work with this deep bench of talent coming out of the UK. The actors, and the crew, the chippies, the sparks, the drivers — everybody who has helped me make my movies here, and will continue helping me make my movies here when I come back in April 2019 to make the fifth Indiana Jones movie right here." (source Comingsoon.net).
AFJ's Take: Though we love to hear about another Indiana Jones with Spielberg at the helm, Harrison Ford under the fedora, and George Lucas in retirement, we are cautiously optimistic. Ready Player One, Spielberg's next film (arriving March 30th), might be his last test for his old and die-hard fans. Though his recent films, The Post and Bridge of Spies, have been critically successful, they show the signs of an older more mature filmmaker. His earlier work was that of a dreamer who inspired people with his unique vision and childlike perspective of the world. How does that apply to Indiana Jones? Well, that's the key to a successful fifth film. Spielberg needs to bring back that boyish wonder he had when he made his earlier pictures and meld that with the grizzled older filmmaker he has become. Give us an Indiana Jones who is facing a changing world, growing old, give us one hell of a McGuffin, and make the film fun like all the Spielberg films we remember.
Indiana Jones V is slated for July 10th, 2020 and is currently being written by David Koepp.

Fall is a time of harvest ~ What to do with Squash?
All of the above are considered winter squash because they can last throughout the winter if stored properly in a root or cold storage cellar. All of them can be baked or microwaved whole, spooned out (removing seeds) and mixed with honey, brown sugar and butter or ...just use butter and sprinkle of fresh dried herbs.
If you have been intrigued by a yellow oblong squash called Spaghetti Squash and wonder why it has that name its because the inside resembles strands of spaghetti pasta when cooked. This squash has a very bland taste whereas the other 'winter' squashes have a sweeter and nuttier taste.
Hence, for that reason, if you decide to try a spaghetti squash recipe, keep in mind the very plain/bland watery taste and texture. The best way to cook this spaghetti sqaush is baked with plenty of spice, olive oil, garlic and cheese.You can get as creative as you like with this squash because ... its a blank slate so to speak. Enjoy!

This serves as perfect introductions to overnight camp. This Period is also ideal for those campers looking for a short-stay residential camp experience. Living in a cabin with other boys or girls of a similar age, campers are introduced to a traditional overnight camp experience in a supportive and encouraging community. A 4:1 staff-to-camper ratio ensures each camper receives individual care and attention throughout their week at Camp.
Cabin-based programming is the approach that these Periods are based upon. Campers are introduced to Wenonah's most popular program areas, and are taught program skills by their counsellors and program instructors. Campers can expect to learn skills in canoeing, kayaking, tennis, climbing & initiatives, archery, arts & crafts, and outdoor living. Wenonah's popular camp-wide programs, section-based activities, and exciting evening options are featured each day.
At Camp, our objective is for each child to develop a sense of independence and appreciation for nature while enjoying a variety of outdoor activities. Many long-time Wenonah campers enjoyed their first overnight experience during our Introductory Periods.Request information

EPB Excavation of Less Than Five Meters Below the Historic Structure of Chandpole Gate on the Jaipur Metro Project
The tunnels excavated by Continental Engineering Corporation (CEC) for the underground section of the Jaipur Metro project faced the usual challenges posed by metro projects worldwide, including small site footprints, and the associated problems regarding segment and muck storage space, etc. These challenges were, however, relatively straightforward when compared to the challenges faced by the tunneling operations. The Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) TBMs were required to bore under extremely low overburden, alongside and beneath several culturally sensitive historic structures. The age of these structures and their construction methods/materials were of great concern when considering the possible consequences of tunneling-induced ground settlement and vibrations. This paper will describe the measures taken regarding TBM operations and surface monitoring to ensure that these historic structures suffered no adverse effects due to tunneling.

I can't go past a Penguin Classic, and this week I'm re-reading the John Updike 1984 novel 'The Witches of Eastwick'. Delightful, potent, wicked stuff. I rented the DVD to remind myself of the film, and loved it all over again, those iconic women, the crazy Mr Nicholson, and the fantastic 80's outfits.
The film was done in 1987, which was my year 9 in High School. I had a friend with blonde hair, a redhead pal, and of course I am the brunette. We fancied ourselves as the characters from the film, so I was Cher, I just wish I could wear some of the slim high-waisted trousers she sports.
I've been thinking about the hair, especially Susan Sarandon's, who as Jane wears a neat french braid, but upon liberation her hair becomes a radiant afro. As you can see their hair is wild, big, bouffant and free, a transformation rarely made in film these days. Now the heroine starts with an unruly mane, and by the end she has a sleek, tamed look after her big makeover.
Seriously, I have been struggling with my big hair for ever. I always wanted geometric short hair cuts, a bit Annie Lennox a bit Louise Brooks. Instead I got crazy curls at puberty, and no-one told me that I shouldn't brush it, that the bouff would only get bigger. I remember when I discovered hair mousse, it was instant relief in a can!
Now I have a hairdresser who understands curls and doesn't try to straighten it all the time, and I have well and truly embraced what I've got. Salut to the Witches of Eastwick, and may there always be a place for big hair. Amen.

HoloSurgical announced a successful first in human procedure, a lumbar decompression and fusion, using the ARAI™ augmented reality and artificial intelligence-based navigation system.
ARAI provides real-time patient-specific 3D anatomical visualization for pre-op planning, real-time intra-op guidance and post-op data analytics. The element of artificial intelligence is designed to autonomously segment and analyze patient anatomy and color-code key anatomical landmarks in real time, while augmented reality allows a view of internal structures such as nerves, vessels, joints and bones in 3D without making incisions and without looking away from the surgical field.
System components include the surgeon workstation with an image generator and viewer, the surgeon's augmented reality headset and a technician's station that houses navigation tracking tools.
Source: HoloSurgical, Inc.
As we have written previously, other companies such as Augmedics, 7D Surgical and Royal Philips are also developing digital visualization and guidance tools. A list of companies with AR-based technologies and other navigational systems is available in the device company directory at ORTHOWORLD.com.

The tiny village of Crovie was one of my favourite spots on my most recent visit to Scotland. This former fishing village has only one walkway that is too narrow for cars, so everyone has to park at one end of the town. But even given that fact, apparently Tesco will still deliver groceries there! I saw a couple of delivery people carting a load of food up to the last house in the village while I was there. It's not recommended that visitors drive all the way down the steep slope to the village, so they did a good job to get there.
The quiet row of houses is a magical place.

My Birthday Outfit!
This past Wednesday, the 24th, I turned 27. I know, scary!!! Sometimes I don't know where the time has gone. I had a wonderful day. I went to my classes, stopped in at TjMaxx and found an awesome mirror on sale, and got wonderful birthday wishes from people. It's easy to not look forward to each birthday every year, especially when you are twenty something. You may feel like you aren't accomplishing things or not up to the speed of what other people your age are doing. Well, I'm slowly learning this myself too, but forget all of those so called benchmarks of where you are
supposed to
be in life, what you're
supposed to
have accomplished and so on. I say this because those are all "supposed to's" created by society and you need to live life according to your own path. As I said before, I am still learning too, but the more you do what you want, at what time you want, the happier you will be. Last year, I wasn't in a place where I wanted to be in my life, nor thought I would be at 26. Towards the end of the year last year, I decided to resign from my job and go back to school to pursue my second degree, still in the design field, because that is where my passion lies. It has truly been a liberating experience. I am very hopeful that good things will arise from it, they already have! If you are struggling with not being where you thought you'd be, then I strongly encourage you to change your life for the better. I wouldn't have dreamed that I'd be where I am now, last year, and it's all due to choices I've made. People grow at different speeds. Sometimes you need to walk through the storm so that it can change you into the person you are meant to be. I am overall a much happier person because I decided to take control of the things that I could control in life. If something isn't working there is always another option. Forget society's expectations. Don't waste your life living in someone else's idea of what life
look like.
pants, H&M
bag, Tjmaxx
Have a fabulous day! Thank you for stopping by!
Emily :)
