Filed under: cellular, James Quintana Pearce, mobile, Motorola, Nokia, Samusng
Nice piece in MocoNews by James Quintana Pearce today, "Motorola Doesn't Need Another Hit Phone". He argues that pundits who blame Motorola's state on the lack of a hit phone are missing the point. Success in the industry has been driven by depth and variety in the product line, not a single hit phone.
Nokia today announced the latest member of the Prism Collection, the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism, extending the fashion conscious product line. Featuring a crystal center key, and the diamond pattern keypad of the other Prism phones, the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism is the product of Nokia's partnership with designer Frédérique Daubal. Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism will be available in the first quarter of 2008, and the 3G phone features a 2 megapixel camera, 1 GB of internal memory and a music player with matching headset. The keypad is also user customizable into one of 49 different colors….
Filed under: Apple, EMI, iPhone, mobile, Music, Nokia, Sony, Sony BMG, Sony Ericsson, Universal, Vivendi, Warner Music
In a clear response to Nokia's recent launch of a music portal with PC and mobile storefronts for purchasing and downloading tunes, Sony Ericsson has announced that it too will have a full-fledged music store for its customers by Q2 2008. S-E has always been able to sell tunes from the Sony BMG Music Entertainment, but has now reached agreement with the other three major labels (Universal Music Group (Vivendi), EMI Group PLC and Warner Music Group Corp). All of which means that Sony Ericsson customers will now be able to purchase the vast majority of the major label music that they can purchase through iTunes, Rhapsody, Nokia Music, etc.
The announcement yesterday was apparently timed to respond to both Nokia's announcement last month, and the launch of the iPhone in Europe which takes place today.
Filed under: cellular, Google, Gphone, HTC, Microsoft, mobile, Motorola, Samsung
Google today announced its much anticipated cell phone strategy. Instead of competing with cell phone manufacturers, Google plans to provide the software to run on handsets manufactured by some of the worlds leading cell phone manufacturers including Motorola, HTC and Samsung, with additional partners anticipated in the future. There will be no Google phone or GPhone, rather, Google with license the software for free to handset manufacturers to encourage them to develop mobile computing and communications platforms that will surpass the Symbian and Windows Mobile smartphones that are currently available on the market.
Consumer electronics hype junkies will be disappointed, but may change their mind when the new handsets start rolling out in the second half of next year.
Sprint today launched Touch, the latest addition to its product line. Manufactured by Taiwan's HTC, the phone has a full touch screen, an mp3 player, and e-mail support, and was touted as an answer to AT&T's iPhone offering. Some of the phone's features are very competitive with the iPhone in its first incarnation. The EVDO Rev. 0 network is a substantial advantage for Sprint, but the half Gig of SD storage in the base configuration is uncompetitive with iPhone's 8 Gig onboard, and Pocket Internet Explorer is not a competitive mobile browser.
Sprint has a competitive product line overall, and Touch will certainly help, but it's no iPhone.
PC Mag's Detailed Review of the Touch
Whoever is doing product placement marketing for Nokia deserves a bonus.
The top two music videos in the UK this week both feature the Nokia Prism 7900 prominently, most notably the SugaBabes "About You Now" which focuses on two Prisms repeatedly throughout the video. The other video is Shayne Ward's "No U Hang Up" which opens with a shot of the Prism and then shows glimpses of it throughout the video. Sexy, trendy, Pop artists loving their phones…. You couldn't ask for better placement…..
Filed under: mobile, N95 CNN, News Corp., Nokia, Sony Pictures
News Corp., Sony Pictures and CNN have struck a deal to distribute video directly to Nokia handsets, sidestepping mobile carrier decks. The first phone supported will be the N95, already a multimedia superstar in the mobile market.

Bristol Palin Explains Why She Decided To Dance Again On Dancing With The Stars
E Online was at the ABC Press Tour. They report Dancing With The Stars contestant Bristol Palin was swamped by the press with questions for why she decided to dance. Bristol wants to provide for her son. She also said the press is going to talk about her no matter what, so she might as well dance again. More below and at the link.
Bristol received the bulk of questions during the press conference and grew increasingly defensive about her reasons for doing another reality show, ending the press conference by quipping, "Do I like to provide for my son? Yes, I do."
Bristol repeatedly blamed the press' overbearing nature as her prime reason for doing DWTS, saying (repeatedly), "God provides opportunities for me…The press is going to be talking about me no matter what, so I may as well be having fun."
When asked if she believes she has made herself more of a target by doing reality TV instead of quietly going home to raise her son after the 2008 election, Bristol replied, "Like I said before, this is a fun gig. I'm not whining; I'm not complaining about anything. I'm gonna go out there and I'm going to have fun. You guys, the media, you will talk about me whether I'm in my little Alaska life or doing this."
The reporters on hand were mostly members of the Television Critics Association, and when someone asked if there was any aspect of the show coverage Bristol does like, Bristol gave more of the same: "God provides opportunities for me. This is an amazing opportunity to for me. I get to work with awesome people. And it's a positive, active show. It's going to be awesome."
At one point, the conversation turned to politics and Palin's beliefs on homosexuality ("What will you think if you get a gay partner?"), to which Pamela Anderson immediately exclaimed, "I love gays!"
"I like gays," Palin said. "I'm not a homophobic. And I'm so sick of people saying that. Just because I'm for traditional marriage doesn't mean I'm scared or anything of anyone else. I don't hate anybody. You know, people are going to make up stuff about me no matter what and…whatever. I'm going to go dance and I'm going to have fun and I'm just going to go have fun on this show. It's not about politics. It's not about traditional marriage and anything like that. It's just about dancing and it's going to be fun and that's all I have to say about it."
Oh boy, I'm not sure I'm ready for this again? HEIDI HELP!!! 😯
Heidi: What an idiot. So everything is everyone else's fault. You're always misquoted. You never say or do anything wrong. Everything is the media's fault. Or God's. I can't say anything else without getting hate mail from wackado's so I think I'll leave it at that. 🙂 Oh, but if Derek gets her?? This will be the first season I don't vote for him.
Vogue: I think she must be a glutten for punishment or this is her only way of keeping herself out there. She likes the attention more than not any attention at all.

LOCATED IN PORTUGAL, THE ALGARVE is an alluring golf and vacation destination for groups, couples, families or others.
As an independent, family-run company that specializes in European golf travel, including Algarve golf holiday packages, we can offer at least five great reasons to consider a trip to the Algarve this winter, or anytime, for that matter.
1. The golf courses, of course.
There are more than 25 top golf courses in the Algarve. Some legendary names have designed courses in this region, including Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus and Christy O'Connor Jr. Our favorite is The Old Course in Vilamoura.
The Algarve boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year. Expect mild winters and summer temperatures that average about 75-85 fahrenheit (25-30 celsius). There's lots of daylight, too, with 12 hours of sunshine in the summer and six hours in the winter.
3. The stunning beaches.
There might be no better choice of beaches in all of Europe. Praia do Ancao near Quinta do Lago is an endless golden beach with facilities for families. Our favorite? Praia da Marinha near Porches. Nominated by the Michelin guide, it is also known for its impressive rocky outcrops.
4. The vibrant nightlife.
5. The luxurious hotels.
We like Penina Golf Resort, which is family friendly and has superb championship golf on-site. For a relaxing and luxurious break, try the Dona Filpa Hotel at Vale do Lobo, located by the sparkling blue waters of the Atlantic and surrounded by beautiful golf courses.

I have not done any carving but want to.
So my question is; would a lazy Susan work good with this?

Hello Arlin,
So my question is; would a lazy Susan work good with this?
Yes! If you look at the main picture above, the insert on the top of the table has a lazy susan underneath the square piece shown on top! When your carving is placed on this square you can easily spin it around to make a cut from the other side. The plans include assembly with the lazy susan.

It was a weird and smoky afternoon in San Francisco. My downstairs neighbors had apparently never heard of vaporizers, and the Sierra Nevada was on fire. I had planned to spend the rest of the day attacking the user-location features of popular dating apps. I wanted to see whether any of them were vulnerable to attacks that could reverse engineer the position of a victim user. My plan was to spoof thousands of requests to each target app, pretend that each request was sent from a different location, and each time ask the app how far away my target was from my current, faked position. I would combine the results using maths and ingenuity to try and shake out an exact location.
The project started well. By using Burp Suite, a popular HTTP proxy, I could inspect, edit and replay all of the HTTP communication sent between my phone and the various dating apps' remote servers. But when I started probing one very successful app, I immediately hit a brick wall. I found that its communication did not show up in Burp or any of my other standard, HTTP-focussed tools. I spent a long time checking and double-checking my settings and configurations. Eventually it hit me - they weren't using HTTP at all. They were using some other, mysterious, but still TCP-based protocol that my normal tools, like Burp, were not able to work with.
Intrigued but wary, I took some time out to build a generic TCP proxy that could handle any TCP-based protocol, not just HTTP. Once complete, my proxy allowed me to inspect the uncooperative app's communications with its servers. This meant that I could continue to creep on my fake dummy profile, with some promising results.
In this 4-part series, I will show you how to build a TCP proxy of your own. At the end of the project you'll be able to use your proxy to intercept, record, edit, and replay all of your smartphone's TCP traffic, not just HTTP. You'll have learned a lot about many of the key technologies underpinning the internet, including DNS, TLS, and TCP. And you too will be able to try and rediscover the exact whereabouts of your own Testington McTest, age 28, lives in San Francisco, likes "Testing".
A proxy is an intermediary that sends messages to a server on a client's behalf. When browsing the internet using a proxy, you don't directly ask Google "how do I cheat at poker?". Instead you send a request to your proxy, asking it to ask Google how to cheat at poker for you. Your proxy asks Google, and sends you back the response. Google knows that it was talking to your proxy, but doesn't necessarily know that it was you on the other side.
Proxies are widely used for privacy, content filtering, censorship bypassing, caching, and security penetration testing.
We are going to build a particular type of proxy known as a "man-in-the-middle" (MITM). MITM proxies are commonly used by security penetration testers in order to read, log, and modify the data that a client (like a smartphone) exchanges with a remote server (like a dating app).
Suppose that you wanted to use a MITM proxy (running on your own laptop) to inspect the traffic sent to and from your favorite dating app. You would instruct your smartphone to send its traffic to your MITM proxy, instead of sending it directly to the dating app's servers. Your smartphone would no longer ask the dating app's servers "how far away is Alex?". Rather, it would ask your MITM proxy to ask the dating app how far away Alex is on your behalf.
Your MITM proxy would make this request, and send back to your smartphone any response that it got. It would also log the contents of the request and response to a file, allowing you to see what they contained. This is what makes a proxy a man-in-the-middle. You could use the information from these logs to modify requests from your smartphone on their way out, or even to spoof your own requests entirely from scratch.
Our proxy will consist of 3 components, each of which solves a different problem:
This project is divided into 4 installments. This first installment gives an overview of the proxy's design, and an introduction to the protocols and techniques that we will be using. The final three installments each describe how to build one of the above components, and give some extra color on the technologies involved.
We're going to start by building a Fake DNS Server and using it to persuade your smartphone to send its traffic to our proxy.
We humans think about sending data onto the internet using hostnames, like
robertheaton.com. However, the internet routes our data to its destination using IP addresses, like
126.96.36.199. These two address systems are entirely distinct. IP addresses are inconvenient for humans ("visit my website at
188.8.131.52" is not very snappy), but hostnames mean absolutely nothing to the internet backbone.
Devices, like your smartphone, translate between hostnames and IP addresses using the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol. There are 20 or so free and public DNS servers that each (roughly speaking) keep a database of all the mappings from hostnames to IP addresses. Google has a DNS server with IP address
184.108.40.206. Verisign has one at
184.108.40.206 .
Suppose that you browse to my website, at
robertheaton.com. Before your device can send a request to my server, it needs to turn this hostname into an IP address that the internet backbone can understand. It makes a DNS A record request (from now on referred to simply as a "DNS request") to a DNS server, asking it to translate
robertheaton.com into an IP address. Once the DNS server responds with
188.8.131.52, your browser sends an HTTP request out onto the internet, addressed to this IP address.
You can choose which DNS server your smartphone uses to make these DNS translations by typing the server's IP address into your smartphone's system settings. All of the major DNS servers should give the same, correct answers, so usually this choice doesn't really matter much.
There's nothing special about a DNS server. It's just a server that listens for and responds to DNS requests on UDP port 53. In fact, we can run a DNS server of our own on your laptop, and we can configure your smartphone to use this fake DNS server instead of Google's or Verizon's.
This is more than just an oddity. We can program our fake DNS server to send back any DNS response that we like. We can even make it send back total lies. Suppose that our DNS server receives a DNS request for a hostname whose requests we want to route through our proxy (say,
api.targetapp.com). We will program our server to respond, not with
api.targetapp.com's real IP address, but with the local IP address of your laptop.
Your phone won't know that we are lying, and won't see anything wrong with our response. It will accept that
api.targetapp.com resolves to your laptop's local IP address, and dispatch any data that it wants to send to
api.targetapp.com to your laptop.
To take advantage of this behavior and receive this rerouted data, we will need to set up a second server on your laptop. This will be the actual proxy server. It will be responsible for receiving data from your phone; reading and printing it so that we can inspect it; and finally forwarding it on to its intended recipient.
HTTP/S proxies like Burp don't need to do any DNS jiggery-pokery in order to get your smartphone to send data to them. Why does our TCP proxy?
The answer is that HTTP/S proxies like Burp make extensive us of several first-class features of the HTTP protocol that only exist in order to help proxies. These include
CONNECT requests and the HTTP
Host header, more on which later.
All sensible smartphones take advantage of these features, and therefore work well with HTTP/S proxies. Your smartphone has a system setting that allows you to specify a proxy that it should use for all of its HTTP requests. In order to use an HTTP MITM proxy like Burp, you first connect your laptop and smartphone to the same network, and then tell your smartphone to use your laptop's local IP address as an HTTP proxy. You open your Burp proxy on your laptop, and your smartphone obediently forwards all of its HTTP/S traffic to your laptop. Burp is instantly up and running.
But since we want our proxy to be capable of handling all TCP-based protocols, not just HTTP, we cannot take advantage of any HTTP-specific features. This is why we have to resort to our DNS hijinks. Other TCP-based protocols that you encounter may well have their own equivalent proxy-friendly features, but equally they may not. And you won't know whether the particular protocol you're inspecting has any such features until you're able to inspect its requests using a proxy, and you won't know how to proxy its requests until you've inspected its requests, and… Instead of wondering whether the chicken or the egg came first, you will have nothing but an empty chicken coop and broken dreams.
Now that we know how to trick your smartphone into sending its TCP data to your laptop, let's see how we can do something with it.
The second piece of our system it the proxy server itself. This will be a server that runs on your laptop. It will accept traffic from your smartphone (with a little help from our fake DNS server), forward it to the target app's remote server, and send any response that it gets back to your smartphone.
The main problem we will have to solve is making sure our proxy knows which remote server to forward your smartphone's traffic to. Proxies, like all computer programs, are dumb as bricks. They don't magically know what to do with the data they receive, and the only way they can know is if they are explicitly told.
When you want to arrange dinner with your friend, you send a text to their phone number saying "Want to get dinner tonight?" This works well, unless your friend is particularly flakey or doesn't actually like you all that much.
Now imagine that you have a personal assistant who you employ as a proxy for all your texts. You send all your texts to your PA, and they forward them on to your friends and enemies on your behalf. If you send a text to your PA saying simply "Want to get dinner tonight?" then they won't know who to forward it to. Since you have been a very unforgiving boss recently, your poor, presumably underpaid assistant will panic, delete the message, and pretend that they never received it.
There are many ways to address this PA proxy problem. You could attach a header to the message saying "Send-To: 415-123-1234". Or you could establish a rule ahead of time that all dinner suggestions should always be routed to your mother.
Once again, HTTP/S proxies can solve this routing challenge easily using special, proxy-specific features of the HTTP protocol. And once again, we can't use them, because we want our TCP proxy to be completely application-protocol-agnostic.
We're therefore going to cheat a bit. We're going to hardcode a hostname into our proxy, and tell our proxy to forward all of the data it receives to this host. This is like telling your PA to route all the text messages you send them today to your good buddy, Steve Steveington.
This is a reasonable simplification. You're usually going to be using your proxy to inspect data sent by a single app. This app will probably send all of its interesting data to a single hostname, like
We can look at the logs of our fake DNS server from the previous section, and see the list of hosts that your phone is trying to contact. We can use intuition and guesswork to figure out the hostname that is most interesting to us. For example,
api.targetapp.com is probably more interesting than
stats.mobileanalytics.com. Then we can hard-code this hostname into our proxy, and instruct our proxy to send all of the data it receives from your smartphone over to this host.
Note that we will need to configure our fake DNS server to only send our proxy traffic that is intended for the same hostname that our proxy is sending all its data to. For all other hostnames our fake DNS server should make a real DNS request to a real DNS server, and forward this real response to your smartphone. This will cause your smartphone to send all of its traffic for these hostnames directly to the right place, bypassing our proxy. If we did not do this, our proxy could end up forwarding sensitive data to the wrong servers.
I mentioned that Burp and other HTTP/S proxies route requests using special features of the HTTP protocol. So that we know what we're missing out on, let's take a look at these special features, and how they help proxies route both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
Unencrypted HTTP proxies have it easy. HTTP/1.x requests contain a
Host header, which explicitly specifies the hostname that the request should be sent to. HTTP/2.x requests contain an
authority pseudo-header containing the same information. HTTP proxies can easily parse out this values from the unencrypted request, and re-send the request accordingly. This is akin to including a "Send-To" field in your text messages to your assistant.
HTTPS proxies have it harder, although still not as hard as us.
There are 2 main types of HTTPS proxy - the forwarding proxy, and the man-in-the-middle. The "forwarding proxy" is very boring. It proxies HTTPS data without ever decrypting it. However, it can't reuse the approach taken by HTTP proxies, because it only ever sees the data passing through it as unreadable, TLS-encrypted bytes of nonsense. This means that it can't read the HTTP
Host header, and so can't use it to redirect the data passing through it. It needs an alternative solution. It's no use sending your PA the encrypted name of your friend if they are unable to decrypt it.
The HTTPS protocol solves this problem by sending proxies an additional, proxy-specific
CONNECT request. If a client knows that its HTTPS requests are going to be passing through a proxy, it precedes each of them with a separate HTTP
CONNECT request. This request explicitly tells the proxy, in unencrypted plaintext, the hostname to which it should send the encrypted request that will follow shortly after. This means that the proxy does not need to decrypt the main payload in order to be able to route it correctly. This is like sending your PA a preliminary, unencrypted text message describing what they should do with the encrypted nonsense that you are about to send over.
The second type of HTTPS proxy, and the type that we are building, is the "man-in-the-middle" (MITM). As we have already discussed, a MITM differs from a forwarding proxy because it is able to decrypt and read the data that passes through it. This means that it can read the plaintext contents of an HTTP request, and so can also read the intended destination stored in its HTTP
Host header. The HTTPS MITM can forward the request to this location, in exactly the same way as an HTTP proxy does.
MITMs still usually prefer to imitate forwarding proxies and use
CONNECT requests where possible. The only time they use the
Host header is when a "non-proxy-aware" client doesn't know or doesn't care that they are connected to a proxy, and do not send preliminary
CONNECT requests. In this situation, the
Host header is a useful fallback.
We now know how to persuade your smartphone to send its data to our proxy, and how to make sure our proxy receives this data safely. All that remains is for us to handle TLS encryption between your smartphone and our proxy.
Hopefully the TCP-based protocol that you are trying to inspect uses TLS encryption. It's 2018, the internet is still a very dangerous place, and there's no excuse for not encrypting absolutely everything.
TLS (sometimes known as SSL) is the form of encryption used by HTTPS in order to keep your online banking details safe. However, TLS can be used by any TCP-based protocol, not just HTTPS. This is because TLS doesn't care about the form of the data it is encrypting. It can be HTTP, FTP, XML, or just total unstructured nonsense. This agnosticism means that our TCP proxy can reuse all the same TLS techniques commonly documented and used by HTTPS proxies.
The main TLS problem that we will need to solve is persuading your smartphone to trust our proxy. Once we have done this, the task of decrypting the data sent by your smartphone will be straightforward, because we can delegate it to known, well-tested libraries.
Your smartphone is suspicious and untrusting of the outside world - and rightly so. How is it meant to know who that server claiming to represent
api.targetapp.com really belongs to? There's no point your smartphone carefully securing and encrypting your data if it then sends it to the wrong person.
TLS encryption soothes your smartphone's paranoia, and makes our job slightly more difficult at the same time. TLS doesn't just encrypt data before sending it; it also verifies that it is sending this encrypted data to the right place.
TLS connections are agreed and verified by a process known as a TLS handshake. During a TLS handshake, the client and server introduce themselves to each other. The client verifies the server's identity (sometimes vice-versa as well), and the two parties agree on the encryption keys to use to secure their traffic. They exchange all of this information over a TCP connection.
Your smartphone will not complete a TLS handshake with our proxy unless we can prove our proxy's identity by presenting it with a valid TLS certificate. We will need to set this TLS certificate's Common Name (a field in the certificate) to the hostname that your smartphone thinks it is talking to. This will be easy enough. We will also need to sign the TLS certificate using a Root Certificate Authority (CA) that your smartphone trusts. This will be rather more difficult.
A real TLS certificate for a hostname like
google.com, signed by a real CA like Digicert, would be among the most valuable few thousand bytes in the history of the world, as it would allow a malicious actor to decrypt all encrypted traffic sent by anyone to
google.com. If you are in possession of such a certificate, stop reading immediately and put in on eBay.
Since we don't have any real, CA-signed TLS certificates, we're going to make our own, fake CA, called "Robert's Trusty Certificate Authority". We will generate a signing certificate for our CA, and install this certificate on your smartphone as a root CA. This will cause your smartphone to trust both our CA, and, more importantly, all other certificates that our CA signs. Whenever your smartphone asks our proxy to perform a TLS handshake, we'll check the hostname that your smartphone believes it is talking to. We'll quickly generate a certificate for that hostname (say,
api.targapp.com), sign it with our fake CA, and present it to your smartphone. Your smartphone will see that this certificate for
api.targapp.com is signed by "Robert's Trusty Certificate Authority", see that this reputable organization is in its list of trusted CAs, and happily complete a TLS handshake with our proxy.
With a TLS connection between your smartphone and our proxy successfully established, the rest of our system will work exactly as planned. Our TCP proxy will be complete.
This project is divided into 3 sections, each of which describes how to build one of our proxy's 3 components:
After completing all 3 sections you will have a fully working TCP proxy that you can use to inspect and analyze any TCP-based protocol. I've written example code for each section using Python3. Whilst this does mean that you'll be best off using Python3 too, implementing the project in another language is also completely fine and doable.
Let's inspect some TCP protocols.

Tikhomirnoye Cemetery - Arran District, Saskatchewan
The following is a transcription of the Tikhomirnoye Doukhobor Cemetery located 5 miles south-east of Arran, Saskatchewan. Rural Municipality of St. Philips No. 301. Land location: SE 28-33-30 West of First. Latitude: 51°51.406. Longitude: 101°39.469. Transcribed by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff with George Negrave on October 20, 2007.
Historical Background
Tikhomirnoye Cemetery was established in 1902 by the Doukhobors of Tikhomirnoye village near Arran. After the abandonment of the village in 1917, the cemetery continued to be used by local Doukhobors until the 1940's. It is no longer in active use and is badly overgrown. It is privately owned.
The cemetery is approximately half an acre in size and is unenclosed. There is dense scrub and brush throughout. The cemetery contains approximately 20 interments in a single section comprised of several rows facing east-west. The vast majority of graves (19) have no marker, however, some of the mounds are still clearly visible. I have used death certificates to identify three of these. The remaining unmarked graves are unidentified. The single grave with a marker has a plain, upright slate headstone.
Driving Directions
To access the cemetery, travel east from Arran on Highway No. 49 for 3 miles (4.8 km). Then turn south on the grid road and continue for 1 3/4 miles (2.8 km), crossing Bearhead Creek. Then turn west into the farmyard approach. From the farmyard, continue on the dirt road as it bends north and west through a pasture for half a mile (0.8 km). The cemetery is located at the edge of a bluff of trees, immediately south of Bearhead Creek. This cemetery is on private property and permission to access should be obtained by the owners.
*Translated from Russian.
In addition, the following families resided in Tikhomirnoye village and may have members buried in Tikhomirnoye Cemetery: Bawoolin, Berikoff, Chernenkoff, Chikmaroff, Diachkoff, Gremakin, Gretchin, Halishoff, Kotoff, Koochin, Legebokoff, Lukianoff, Malakoff, Mahonin, Pankoff, Pictin, Saprikin, Zibin.
Various sources of data have been used in compiling this information including: marker transcriptions and death certificates. This is a work in progress. If readers have any comments, corrections or additions with respect to Tikhomirnoye Cemetery, please contact Jonathan J. Kalmakoff.

Durham, NC (PRWEB) February 03, 2015 -- A new study published in The Oncologist on January 5, 2015, details a novel approach to identifying patients with stage II colorectal cancer who are most likely to benefit from additional treatment due to a high risk of recurrence following surgery.
Although surgical resection is curative for the majority of patients with stage II colorectal cancer, approximately 20% will eventually develop local or distant disease recurrence following surgery. Being able to identify high-risk patients would allow clinicians to focus on those patients for additional treatment with chemotherapy, while also allowing patients who have a low risk of recurrence to avoid unnecessary treatment. However, standard clinical factors such as tumor grade and surgical margins are not particularly accurate in differentiating between patients with stage II colon cancer who need additional treatment and those who are cured with surgery alone.
A team of researchers led by Scott Kopetz, MD, PhD, at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX, evaluated the potential for ColoPrint, an 18-gene expression profile assay, to predict the risk of postsurgical recurrence in patients with stage II colon cancer.
"Our data suggest that ColoPrint is able to identify patients with the highest risk of recurrence, who may derive the greatest benefit from further chemotherapy," Dr. Kopetz said. "Furthermore, with these findings, doctors and patients can be reassured about the overall excellent prognosis associated with a low-risk ColoPrint result."
To determine the prognostic utility of the ColoPrint assay, the research team examined pooled data from several independent, international cohorts of 416 patients with stage II colon cancer who underwent curative tumor resection between 1987 and 2009. The ColoPrint assay was used to assess the gene expression profile of tumor samples prospectively collected and frozen at the time of tumor resection. The risk of relapse, defined as survival until first event of cancer recurrence or death, was calculated over the median follow-up of 81 months.
Based on results of the gene-expression analysis, the ColoPrint assay classified 63% of patients as having a low risk of relapse, while 37% were classified as having a high risk of relapse. The 5-year risk of relapse in these groups was 10.3% and 20.9%, respectively. Similarly, the 3-year risk of relapse for the low-risk and high-risk ColoPrint groups was 7.0% and 17.1%, respectively.
Researchers also examined the prognostic utility of clinical risk classification using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. According to the NCCN risk-scoring system, patients with any of the following findings were classified as high-risk: T4 tumors, high-grade histology, lymphovascular/perineural invasion, perforation/obstruction,
Within the high-risk NCCN group, the ColoPrint assay downgraded many patients with T4 tumors, high-grade histology, or low number of assessed lymph nodes as low risk (25.7%). Conversely, 19.2% of patients classified as NCCN low-risk were classified as high risk by the ColoPrint assay. The overall rate of discordance between the risk classification systems was 45%.
Based on these findings, the study authors concluded that the ColoPrint assay provides clinically meaningful segregation of recurrence risk that can inform the care of patients with stage II colon cancer. A prospective trial of patients with stage II colon cancer is currently underway to confirm the prognostic utility of the ColoPrint assay in the clinical setting (NCT00903565).
Richard M. Goldberg, MD, Senior Editor of The Oncologist, noted, "Every day oncologists consult on patients who have had a colon resection and whose disease had not yet invaded regional lymph nodes. Most but not all will be surgically cured. Determining which of those patients are at high risk for recurrence and should consider undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy can be aided by the availability of the ColoPrint genomic assay as illustrated by this study by Dr. Kopetz and his colleagues. This can be a useful tool for both patients and their physicians."

Brief Synopsis
King Stephen, the proud leader of a small Balkan country, is taken into "protective custody" by General Von Bodenbach after the German army invades his country. Hoping to stop the Underground's acts of sabotage against the Germans, Von Bodenbach instigates rumors that King Stephen has aligned with the Axis and gets a voice impersonator to begin a series of radio broadcasts, supposedly by the king, urging the country's citizens to cooperate in "establishing a new order." The broadcasts are received with anger and despair throughout Europe, and Underground leaders Kurt Vandan and Erik Dundeen, who have been in hiding, decide that the king must be rescued. They appeal to American journalist Michael Kaligor Lindley for help, saying that the king must refute the charges of collaboration in order to bolster the morale of all occupied countries. Michael, who is about to leave Europe and return to America, at first refuses, but Vandan and Dundeen point out that they are too well known in their country to carry out the covert operation. Michael's loyalty is divided, for although his father was American and he was reared in the United States, his mother was King Stephen's niece, and he was born in her country. Knowing the king to be an honorable man, Michael realizes that he would not make these broadcasts voluntarily, and so vows to free him. The Underground supplies him with a pilot and plane, and using a black parachute to help avoid detection, Michael jumps into occupied territory. Anti-aircraft searchlights pick him out despite his black parachute, and German soldiers rapidly come after him. Michael is found by native rebel Joseph and his daughter Olga, who distrust Michael and disavow any knowledge of the Underground. Because of the pursuing Germans, Joseph and Olga are forced to take Michael to the cellar, where the Underground newspaper is printed, and there leader Nicholas tests him to prove his loyalty to the cause. Nicholas is satisfied with Michael's response, and soon thereafter, the group assails a convoy of German cars traveling along a country road. Separating himself from the others, Michael kills a fleeing German officer, Captain Mir. Michael takes Mir's clothes and papers and even shoots himself in the arm to match one of the bullet holes in Mir's uniform. Michael then travels to Stephen's castle, from which Mir, who was the impersonator, was to give another radio broadcast. At the castle, Michael fools Von Bodenbach and his assistant, Colonel Pavlec, although singer Marya Orloff, Von Bodenbach's mistress, is suspicious. That night, Michael succeeds in finding the king, who is shocked when Michael informs him about the radio broadcasts, but is reassured by Michael's promises of imminent rescue. The next day, Michael is surprised to see Olga, who is working at the castle as a maid, and quickly explains the situation to her. She leaves to relay the information to Nicholas, and while the Underground begins laying the groundwork for the rescue, Michael is forced to continue his impersonation of Mir. While riding with Marya, Michael learns that she was childhood friends with Mir and therefore knows of his deceit. Marya asserts that she will not reveal Michael's true identity if he allows her to escape with him, and when Marya proves her ruthlessness by killing the soldier accompanying them, Michael is forced to acquiese to her demands. Matters grow more complicated when Joseph is captured, and in order to protect his disguise, Michael cannot save him from being shot. Olga is devastated by her father's death but realizes that she must continue his work, and that night, helps Nicholas and the others to free Stephen from the castle. Michael is trapped and about to be captured, however, when Marya helps him to escape. Michael takes her with him to the secret cellar, where Nicholas and Olga have hidden the king. Marya's duplicity is fully revealed when the German soldiers who have followed her and Michael at her command begin to pound on the door. Marya attempts to shoot King Stephen, but Olga bravely jumps in front of him and is wounded before Nicholas can kill Marya. King Stephen assures the dying Olga that he will remember her courage and sacrifice forever, then escapes with Michael and Nicholas. Later, the king gives a stirring speech on the radio, assuring his listeners that he has not given up and exhorting them to fight on until the occupying forces have been defeated.

I got an email recently from a friend of mine about an "evolving corporate office" dealing with a corporation's compliance - The Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). It is an interesting one that may have relevance to your enterprise. After reading the next sections, please add your own comments. Here is the rest of his email.
"Hi Claudia,
The organization chart in your recent B-eye article is missing an evolving corporate office that I think will play an increasing role in business intelligence. Part of the problem is that there is no commonly accepted initials for the CCO (Chief Compliance Officer). In some firms the title is Environmental Affairs, Chief Ethics Officers, Corporate Responsibility or Sustainability Officer. More prevalent in Europe, but you find Alcoa, DuPont and HP filling posts, as well as Starbucks and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.
The significance is simply that the metrics and reporting associated with this issue is merging with SOX compliance, but right now the metrics work involved is not on the radar of the core business intelligence community. It's being developed by niche players, but I project a growing demand. The biggest reason for the demand isn't bleeding hearts, but tracking business benefits. Cutting waste drops heavily to the bottom line and more opportunities are being explored daily. So when firms like Herman Miller set goals for zero landfill by 2020 from their furniture operations, they generally have to pioneer the related business intelligence as well as the relevant business processes.
I think there is an opportunity to play a leadership role in the broadening beyond-compliance, business world."
As I said, an interesting and perhaps cntroversial position. What do YOU think? I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours in BI success,

Application in the optical component fitting industry
By: xzbbvfvbh
Posted in: 12 inches cut off wheel
Optical component accessories have become extremely common in industrial applications. How do you choose the right and most affordable laser equipment for many laser devices? First, the principles to be followed in the purchase of special high precision optical lens manufacturer/supplier components: Optical component technology has many valuable features. However, depending on whether a product is suitable for adopting this technology, the following principles should be followed: (1) It can't be solved by other existing methods, and it can only be solved by laser processing; (2) It can be solved by other existing processing methods, but if the laser processing method is adopted, the product quality can be greatly improved, the production efficiency can be improved, and the economic and social benefits can be significantly increased; (3) Fully consider the matching links in the machining process related to laser processing; (4) Pay attention to the application of processing technology combined with laser processing and conventional processing, in order to make full use of their respective strengths; (5) In practical applications, if the economy is not tight, it is recommended to purchase the import configuration, because some domestic technologies are still not up to standard, the performance of foreign configuration machines is stable, and the after-sales maintenance is small, which greatly improves the work efficiency. Second, the specific requirements when using optical components: (1) The spherical/aspherical/cylindrical/paraboloid optical lens component outputs good beam quality, including mode and mode stability; (2) Whether the optical component output power is large enough (this is the key to speed and effect), whether the energy is stable (usually requires 2% stability, and in some cases 1%, in order to process the desired effect); (3) Optical components should have high reliability and should be able to work continuously in harsh industrial processing environments; (4) The optical component itself should have good maintenance, fault diagnosis and chain function, and the downtime should be short; (5) The operation is simple and convenient, the control key function is clear, the illegal operation can be rejected, and the procurement high efficiency thin-film multilayer optical filter component is protected from damage. In addition, price is also a key factor to consider.

Overview of China Public Holiday
Chinese people legally enjoy over 115 days off including 104 days of weekends and 11 days of festivals. Employees have 5 to 15 days of paid annual leave.
Students and teachers have summer and winter vacations for about three months. The summer vacation in China generally starts around July 1st and ends around August 31st, and the winter vacation usually falls on January or Februry according to the date of the Spring Festival.
China has 7 legal holidays in a year, including New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, May Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. At the festivals, all Chinese people will be on vacation.
Spring Festival (Normally in Jan or Feb, 7 day's holiday)
Spring Festival is often called "New Year" due to the lunar calendar used in Chinese history. According to this, it is the first day of the first lunar month, and marks the beginning of a year. This is often associated with the twelve animals of the Zodiac, with different animals being associated with the year in twelve yearly cycles.
Qingming Festival(5 April, 3 days holiday)
Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival usually occurring around April 5 of Chinese calendar.
May Day (1 May, 3 days holiday)
A tradition has been costumed for many years. Labour Day marks a special celebration for the workers in China, offering them a holiday as a testament to their cause. This echo's the American Labour day holiday which was legislated by Congress 100 years ago.
Dragon Boat Festival (5, Lunar May, 3 days holiday)
Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional and statutory holiday associated with Chinese and other East Asian and Southeast Asian societies as well. The festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar on which the Chinese calendar is based.
Mid-Autumn Festival(15, Lunar August, 3 days holiday)
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, Zhongqiu Festival, is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese and Vietnamese people, dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang dynasty.
The National Day (1 Oct, 7 days holiday)
The People's Republic of China's National Day was originated on October 1st, 1949. Taking place in the afternoon in the middle of Tian'anmen Square, one of the largest open spaces in Beijing, the holiday marks the first time the five star flag was raised. The ceremony took place in front of 300,000 people as Chairman Mao declared the founding of the PRC.

What kinds of ethics should nanorobotic cognitive aids have? Cognitive nanorobots, an analog to medical nanorobots, could have applications in cognitive enhancement and perceptual aid such as bias reduction, memory management (access, suppression), and personalized ethics optimization. It is important to consider what kinds of ethics modules may be appropriate for inclusion in cognitive nanorobots. A number of core philosophical questions arise such as the possibility and desirability of knowing a true and objective reality, and selecting different realities. The philosophy of Bergson and Deleuze is used to investigate and propose an ethics of perception.

It's not like I've just come from nowhere. I've been three times Olympic champion on the track; people have to realise what kind of engine you need to win an Olympic gold medal as an individual pursuiter. I've been six times world champion, fourth in the Tour de France, third in the Vuelta last year.
There's one reason why I'm in this position and that's because I've worked hard. I shouldn't have to justify all that other stuff.
I'm only human at the end of the day. I'm not this robot. I'm just a kid from London who happened to be good at cycling, and made it here. I make mistakes in my life. I'm not this fantastic role model that everyone wants me to be. I'm good at riding my bike and performing on my bike. Other than that, sitting up here, answering all these questions every day, trying to be articulate about it – I don't know what else I can do.

This is a treatment method which has been scientifically proven to help individuals suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety Disorders. ERP is not only effective in reducing OCD symptoms, but may also result in generalized improvements in depressed mood, social anxiety and psychopathology.
The Exposure in ERP refers to exposing yourself to the thoughts, images, objects and situations that make you anxious and/or start your obsessions. The Response Prevention part of ERP refers to making a choice not to do a compulsive behavior once the anxiety or obsessions have been "triggered." All of this is done under the guidance of a trained therapist at the beginning — though you will eventually learn to do your own ERP exercises to help manage your symptoms. The therapist will work with you to set goals, identify your fears, thoughts, obsessions and compulsions, and make an individualized treatment plan specifically for you.
With ERP, the difference is that when you make the choice to confront your anxiety and obsessions you must also make a commitment to not give in and engage in the compulsive behavior. When you don't do the compulsive behaviors, over time you will actually feel a drop in your anxiety level. This natural drop in anxiety that happens when you stay "exposed" and "prevent" the compulsive "response" is called habituation.
ERP can also be used in conjunction with Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). In this model, the power of meaning and thought is defused, there is acceptance of experiencing anxiety, and commitment to striving for values that are important for you.
If you have questions about Exposure Response Prevention, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and/or think this could be helpful to you, please call our office at 314-275-8599.

- oqmeasuresAsked on June 13, 2017 at 01:37 AM
I'm looking to create values in which someone can choose three options for a price, with an additional 40 dollar charge for each item chosen after that. Can someone help me with that?
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Assign Calculation Value
- WilliamRAnswered on June 13, 2017 at 02:20 AM
What you have read is just the first step. Which is assigning values to your options.
Second thing you need to do is, add the Form Calculation widget. Then, add your Radio Field or Your option fields.
From there, create the formula to add 40 on your options. Just like this.
Take a look at my example here.

The Feminist and the Cowboy: An Unlikely Love Story
by Alisa Valdez (Gotham, 336 pages)
2/7/2013 -
Four months before the release of The Feminist and the Cowboy, Alisa Valdez confessed that her "unlikely love story" had ended, and in a manner that was not so much Cinderella, but more Macbeth.
Not only was the relationship over, but it had all along been strung with sinister threads: physical abuse and psychological cruelty (by the cowboy) and what can only be described as periodic bouts of sanity (by the feminist). "When Bad Things Happen to Psychotic People" might have been a better subtitle for this memoir.
Until now, Valdez was best known for two things: a frothy catalog of "chick lit" novels, and the 3,400-word tantrum she wrote her supervisors at The Los Angeles Times when resigning 12 years ago. (She also once worked for The Boston Globe, but presumably left there less wordily.) Huffing about discrimination and "genocide" via racial labels, Valdez, whose father is Cuban, quit journalism to write novels full time.
The Feminist and the Cowboy, the story of Valdez's love affair with a rancher she met on Match.com, is her first foray into nonfiction books, although at times the memoir itself reads like chick lit. Portions of it, in fact, suggest that Gotham was trying to reel in the Fifty Shades audience with the narrative's themes of power and submission. Valdez spends much of this book succumbing, and this occurs at great expense to her feminist credentials, which were already thin, given her backlist.
All this makes The Feminist and the Cowboy look like a train wreck of a book, an accident of publishing that should have been hastily withdrawn like Jonah Lehrer's Imagine: How Creativity Works and David Barton's The Jefferson Lies last year.
But here's the thing: The book works. The author is self-absorbed, neurotic, needy, whiny and immature — prone to repetition, embellishment and grandiosity — and she continues to date a man who, for all his Hollywood good looks, bullies and lies to her. But damn if she can't write, despite all of that.
Even though we all know how it ends, this book is a page-turner. And despite the author's frequent rants against conservatism (Ayn Rand, and the people who read her, are labeled sociopaths), and her tendency to go on and on about things we'd rather not hear about (the batteries!), even a heartless conservative can care about her in the end.
In this way, the book is much like that infamous resignation letter, which, at first read, looks like a diatribe of the insane, but, at its core, pulses with meaning and heart. In that letter, she says she's quitting newspapers to work on fiction, not knowing if anyone will buy her books or not. "I will work for my conscience, my soul, and my heart, and my child. If that means I live in a small room in the back of my father's house, so be it. I will be happier there, writing my truth in 'fiction,' than I am here, writing your truth in 'fact.'"
In journalistic circles, Valdez was mocked for this letter, as she has been for The Feminist and the Cowboy, and not without cause. A serious writer can't describe a sexual encounter with the sentence "The earth moved" and not expect a vigorous raking. She's excessive, not only in the length of her sentences but in the emotions they reveal. And given that Valdez was with "the cowboy" (unnamed in the book, but later revealed to be named Steve) for only one month at the halfway point of the book, it's reasonable to conclude that not only was the relationship too rushed, but so was the book proposal.
But that's why God — or Harlequin — invented sequels.
And those most dismissive of Valdez may simply be envious. The woman has published seven novels and this memoir, sold a million books in 11 languages, and done all this as a single parent. Maybe The Feminist and the Cowboy is more cautionary tale than love story, there's nothing wrong with that. It's a beautiful mess, both the book and its author.
