The Digicert Certificate Utility is probably one of the best certificate encryption tool out on the net.
A lot of people become scared with key-pair encryption but key-pairs/certificates are actually fundamental easy to figure out. You have a secret private key that rests on a system or application, and that system/application gives to another system/application the public key. From there they scrabble and authentication communication. That's about it.
The struggles with Encryption, and SSL certificates is associated with the systems/applications that use them. Different applications from different venders tend to want things their own way, in certain formats, extensions, files, etc..
Key features of the Digicert Certificate Utility that can help with the SSL Management are..
SSL Certificate:
- Install certificates with a single click
- Generate a CSR for your order
- Install certificates to pending requests
- Re-install certificates in one click
- Find SSL Certificates on your server
- View certificate details
- Copy certificates between servers
- Convert certificate into various formats
- Renew certificates
- Fix intermediate certificate chain errors
- Edit certificate friendly names
- Verify certificate chains
- Test certificates
- Delete certificates
Things to know:
- If you use the utility to generate a CSR for an SSL Certificate then once the certificate is issued you will have to import your SSL Certificate using the utility to successfully configure your SSL certificate for binding into IIS, exporting as pfx format, exporting it as a .pem format, etc..
- The Digicert Certificate Utility for SSL Certificates Automatically refers to the Windows account certificate stores on the Windows system.
- After installation you can export the certificate in an Apache .pem, .crt-.key format or a Windows pkcs12 .pfx format. Appling the certificate to what ever systems require it.
Downloading and Installing The Digicert Certificate Utility.
- On your Windows server or workstation, download and save the Digicert Certificate Utility for Windows executable (DigiCertUtil.exe). Click HERE to download.
- Run the Digicert Certificate Utility for Windows by Double-click DigiCertUtil.
Congrats you have downloaded and installed the Digicert Certificate Utility.
How to Install Your New SSL Certificate Into The Digicert Certificate Utility:
After you have enrolled for your SSL Certificate using a CSR generated from the utility you will then have to Import/Install the SSL Certificate after it gets issued. The CA should give you a pkxs7 format certificate also known as a .p7b. The way they give you this certificate will vary.
If your CA gives supplies the pkcs7 format SSL Certificate in the body of the email perform he following.
Copy the SSL certificate and make sure to copy the —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– and —–END CERTIFICATE—– header and footer Ensure there are no white spaces, extra line breaks or additional characters. Use a plain text editor such as Notepad, paste the content of the certificate and save it with extension .p7b (When performing this on a Windows system the Icon of the file should change into a certificate icon)
Save and move this .p7b file to the system where you have created the CSR using the Utility on.
To complete and install your SSL Certificate perform the following.
- Run the Digicert Certificate Utility by Double-clicking the DigicertUtil.exe.
- In the Digicert Certificate Utility, Click SSL.
- Click Import.
- In the Certificate Import window click Browse.. and Open to specify the location and path of your SSL Certificate.

Note: If you get an error that states "Private Key Missing" this is due to the following causes…
- You did not create the CSR/Private key on this machine:
- Make sure you are on the correct system that has the Digicert Certificate Utility installed where you generated the CSR from.
- If you lost your private key or if the system where the CSR was generated using the Utility blew up then you will have to start from scratch by generating a new CSR, and performing a reissue/rekey of your SSL Certificate.
- You are installing the a wrong certificate:
- Make sure you are installing the correct certificate. Typically once the certificate is on your desktop as a .p7b file you can double click on it to read the information. make sure the certificate or one of the certificates in its chain is issued to your organization with the correct dates.

BSD Today: Running logcheck, the logfile auditing software for UnixAug 03, 2000, 17:38 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Clifford Smith)
[ Thanks to Jeremy C. Reed for this link. ]
"...Logcheck -- Psionic's system log reporting tool. It can run as a stand alone or as a adjunct to Portsentry. The following setup routine works for use as either."
"There are a couple of things you should do before installing logcheck. The first is to make sure that syslogd is running. Unless you have specifically killed its pid, it's running. Use "top" if you want to make sure. The other is to confirm where your messages file is located. In most of the *NIX's, it is beneath /var/log/."
"If you need to modify the way logcheck behaves, the whole configuration section of the logcheck.conf file is reasonably easy to understand. The accompanying documentation is written by Craig Rowland, the author of Portsentry and logcheck. There are a couple of warnings he gives -- the most notable is that all logs should be run chmod 600, owner root, group wheel. The primary reason for this is that your system logs are something that the average script kiddie would love to have, as nearly the entire structure of your system can be given up over time. You don't want anyone but root accessing these."

Between January and March 2018, The Botanical is pleased to present the works of Lisa May, local Melbourne artist, on the walls of its dining room.
Lisa May creates vibrant, abstract works of art. Using oil and acrylic paints on a printing press, she produces colourful monoprints full of brightness and texture.
Lisa May's artwork was introduced to The Botanical when the venue decided to refresh the main dining space. Beginning in 2018, the walls of the dining room will act as a gallery space for local artists. Offering an exhibition-style display to upcoming artists, The Botanical will change the artwork seasonally with a focus on exploring different artwork styles and colour palettes. Each season, a young artist will showcase their works on the dining room walls; a selection of each artist's work will also be printed on the cover of The Botanical's menu.
"We are thrilled to have Lisa May's art featured at The Botanical," said Jaime Pedraza, General Manager. "Her works bring colour and vibrancy to the venue and are beautiful conversation pieces for our guests."
Educated in Australia and the United States, Lisa May is trained in graphic design, communication design and industrial design. After earning her undergraduate degree at Swinburne University Lisa May pursued a course as a teacher, completing her postgraduate education at Melbourne University. Alongside her artistic career, Lisa May now teaches Art and Design at Box Hill High School, one of Melbourne's top-performing public schools.
Lisa May's presence at The Botanical is just the first new concept for the venue in 2018. With a bottomless brunch launching in February, a series of wine education events beginning in March and a new breakfast offer on the cards, The Botanical has all the ingredients for an exciting year.

Something I enjoy quite a bit is a bowl of homemade granola. Granola is quite simple to make and is quite a bit cheaper and better for you than cereal. You can make granola many, many different ways and mine is probably different every time but I appreciate having a general guideline and I will share with you what I use.
- 10 cups oatmeal
- 2 cups coconut
- 1 cup or more of nuts (sliced walnuts or chopped walnuts or pecans are all quite yummy)
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peanut butter (this isn't essential but I really like it)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
You could also add wheat germ, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds or coarsely ground whole grain flours. Raisins or other dried fruit are also a wonderful addition after you have toasted the granola.
To make it mix all of the dry ingredients together. Then warm up the peanut butter and mix it with the other wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and mix. Spread out on large pans and toast in the over at 275 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Stir occasionally during the toasting. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

I have to admit, when I was coming up with an idea for this Dark Monday post, it began with wanting to feature Liza Minnelli, for it has just been too long. Don't get me wrong - I listen to her all the time. Yes, I am a big fan. But it has been too long - about 7 months - since I have featured her on the blog. So tonight I feature a scene from the 1991 film, 'Stepping Out', where Liza, as the main character Mavis, sings the title song, written for her by the great team of John Kander and Fred Ebb. The show is based on a play of the same name that premiered in London in 1984, and later on Broadway in 1987. It was the story of a fading West End star who teaches a tap dancing class in a dingy church hall. It was thought of as a great vehicle for Minnelli, and the story was adapted to be based in Buffalo, New York, and the role of the teacher was beefed out a bit. And there was the addition of the song, Stepping Out". This is Liza singing the title song.
And while it hit the movies in a limited release, the film was not a financial success. This was surprising, as the cast was pretty impressive. Along with Liza, the credits included Shelley Winters, Julie Walters, Ellen Greene, Jane Krakowski, Bill Irwin, and Andrea Martin, among others. But as I say, any movie with Liza in it is worth seeing. But I have been a fan of Liza's since I saw her on Broadway, in 'The Act', which I saw on a high school trip. Since then, I have purchased her albums, seen her movies, you name it. I still would love to see her performing live again. And her recent album, 2010's 'Confessions', is so wonderful, I never tire of listening to it.

Introduction: Google Cardboard to Google Wood
These Viewers are Wooden Adaptations for Holmes type lenses to use Google Cardboard.
They put a bit more distance between the eye and the Phone screen and thus removed the pixelation that some viewers cause due to over magnification.
Another bonus is that they give you easy access to the screen to scoll to the next picture when used for 3D viewing.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Parts You Will Need:
You will need to buy and make the following parts:
1. Holmes Type Sterescopic Lenses that you can buy here:
I used the one's from e-bay
2. Quarter Inch Poplar I found at Home Depot
3. The Specific Shape of the box is not important except for one IMPORTANT POINT
The distance from the lenses to the placement of the Smartphone is critical, it should be at the focus point of the lenses, usually the lenses are sold with specific focal length, but it can be easily be determined by looking through them and seeing at what distance the screen is view-able.
Step 2: Glue the Panels Together
I suggest the use of Gorilla Glue and to clamp it together for a few hours to let it set.
Do not use too much glue or you will have to cut away a lot of overflow.
Yes, the piece between the lenses is required, as a lot of people can't use it if they can see the other Image as well.
Step 3: Paint and Use - Don't Forget the Rubber Bands.
It is a good idea to paint the inside a matt [ dull ] black.
I used polyurethane to put a smooth finish on the outside.
And I used a rubber band to hold the phone in place, or it will fall over forward.
I used little hooks and the black rubber bands that is used to keep hair in ponytails to keep the phone in place.
Once you have Google Cardboard installed, you are free to enjoy.

REGINA, November 14, 2016 – The Canadian Red Cross announced plans to reach 100,000 people and students across Saskatchewan during its annual Red Cross Pink Day campaign, slated for February 22, 2017.
Now in its seventh year, Red Cross Pink Day aims to raise awareness about the impact of bullying and what people can do to create safe and respectful environments. For each official Red Cross Pink Day shirt sold, the Canadian Red Cross can teach one student how to recognize, address and prevent bullying.
With Red Cross Pink Day falling during February student break, the Red Cross is planning massive student rallies to be held the week before in Saskatoon (Feb. 13), Regina (Feb. 15) and Prince Albert (Feb. 17) for more than 10,000 students participating in-person and online.
The business community is being encouraged to celebrate on February 22 by wearing official Red Cross Pink Day gear, sponsoring schools and hosting fundraisers.
"It's so important that the Canadian Red Cross continues to provide the students of Saskatchewan with the education and the tools that they need to go out and help others," said Luc Mullinder, Project Manager for Red Cross Imagine No Bullying campaign. "Now, more than ever, we need to empower our youth. By engaging in Red Cross Pink Day, the people in this province are giving our students the ability to Be Someone Else's Hero!"
This year, the Red Cross has completely redesigned the iconic t-shirt and has introduced a line of socks to appeal to the business community.
The proceeds from each Red Cross Pink Day t-shirt give us the ability to reach one student with bullying prevention messages. Official gear can be purchased at www.redcross.ca/pinksk.
This year's Red Cross Pink Day is proudly presented by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, AGT Foods, STC, Extreme Hockey, Dupont, K+S Foods and Canadian Digital Network.
The Canadian Red Cross is Canada's leader in bullying prevention education. Children, youth and adults are educated through Canadian Red Cross Respect Education programs to be able to recognize, respond to and prevent bullying behaviour.

Independent agency Firefly has been left reeling by LG Electronics' sudden decision to shift its UK PR business to its globally aligned agency partner, LG-One.
LG-One, a multi-agency team of WPP shops, takes charge of the £1m business from next week, after winning the global mandate last year (PRWeek, 13 May 2009).
LG Electronics made its UK decision in late 2009, just days after sanctioning the hire of an account director to lead the business at Firefly.
'We hired someone on the approval of LG to work exclusively on its account,' said Firefly managing director Mark Mellor. 'We knew a global contract existed with WPP. But we had held planning meetings for 2010 and had been planning budgets.
'Given the day-to-day sentiment, we were surprised.'
The Firefly account director, who Mellor refused to name, has since moved on to another agency.
An associate director and account manager shifted to LG-One agency Hill & Knowlton as TUPE transfers.
H&K could not confirm whether the duo remained at the agency.
LG Electronics head of brand marketing Paul Meadows defended the company's decision. 'Business carries on as usual until such point as somebody terminates the contract, should you choose to do that,' he said. 'Our decision was taken at a macro level, not a micro level.'
After losing its biggest account, Firefly is also making five back-office roles redundant.
'You have to remain philosophical about the fact that global deals exist,' said Mellor. 'From May 2009 to November, we were repeatedly reassured that this affected global and regional, and not local, PR.'
Separately, it is believed that LG Electronics UK marketing director Andrew Warner is leaving the company.
What is LG-One?
LG-One is a multi-agency WPP team, largely made up of Hill & Knowlton and Ogilvy PR staffers. It is led by Claire Holden in the UK.
LG Electronics selected LG-One to handle its PR across eight global regions to ensure 'comms consistency'.
The value of LG's global PR business is £1.5m, a figure that rises dramatically once first-tier local markets, such as the UK, are included.

PALM PILOTS AND plasma screens aren't going away. Indeed, high-tech tools have been a boon to special events, boosting efficiency and deepening impact.
But the trend in corporate events today is a focus on personal interaction. Often keying on themes that evoke the friendly and familiar, corporate event professionals are using events to build bonds, both with products and with people.
Standout technology still packs a punch. For example, at its user conference at a Las Vegas hotel in February, CAD CAM software developer SolidWorks demonstrated its commitment to innovation by using "motion capture" technology during its opening general session — the first time the technology has been used for a corporate event, the producers say.
Concord, Mass.-based SolidWorks partnered with marketing communications firm Cramer, based in Norwood, Mass., to track the performance of cirque-style dancers live on stage via computer cameras, projecting their stylized images behind them on 16-by-20-foot screens. For the 1,700 users in attendance — primarily high-level engineers, designers and managers — "associating the cutting-edge technology with SolidWorks reinforced SolidWorks' image as an innovator and added a level of excitement to the event," notes Cramer marketing director Jill Petrie.
Even so, the growing trend is not to dazzle with technology for its own sake, but to use it to make an emotional connection.
A splashy media event in February during New York's Fashion Week blended high-tech and high-touch to re-launch the iconic Thunderbird automobile from Ford Motor Co.
Research showed Ford and advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, both in Detroit, that consumers regard the Thunderbird as a fashion statement. So the campaign team, which included fashion publishing powerhouse Conde Nast, keyed on a fashion theme, engaging top-flight designers including Carolina Herrera and Marc Jacobs to design clothing inspired by the car.
Some 1,200 guests gathered in Hammerstein Ballroom for a lighthearted event that was "two parts 'Thomas Crown Affair,' one part 'Austin Powers,'" explains Steven Noxon, creative director for JWT's brand entertainment group.
The five new car models were showcased in custom-colored environments, including bars featuring the car's signature "porthole" design element, serving color-keyed cocktails. New York-based EyeMag Media created a video of the designers telling how the car inspired them, which played on four plasma screens. The highlight of the event was the reveal of a Thunderbird painted in a pattern created by designer Diane von Furstenberg, who posed with the car.
The event fueled Thunderbird sales: After a follow-up article in the New York Post, "dealerships up and down the East Coast were overrun with phone calls with people trying to buy one," says Miles Johnson, Ford public affairs manager. "The dealership in Manhattan had to bring in extra receptionists."
Besides creating bonds with products, special events today create bonds between people. This was the goal of a December event staged by Disney Channel, based in Burbank, Calif. "One of our brand promises is to create an emotional connection to kids' lives," explains Vycki Smaldino, vice president of brand services for ABC Cable Networks Group, of which Disney Channel is a division. "And in this case, we wanted to make that connection with our guests."
To commemorate its donation of programming to the Museum of Television & Radio in Beverly Hills, Calif., Disney Channel staged a holiday party at the museum, inviting members of the media along with Disney performers and corporate executives and their children. Culver City, Calif.-based Progressive Events created an understated holiday look for the 200 guests with white poinsettias and 12-foot silver birches decorated with clear lights. One wall of the museum featured a deep blue background against which moving gobos created "snowflakes."
The holiday theme neatly underscored the theme of gift-giving, and created an ideal platform to showcase to the media the company's contribution to the museum, according to Disney Channel marketing director Chris Lacroix. "Disney Channel has certainly turned a corner in the last five years," he says. "Our programming is getting a lot more attention, and it was time to preserve it."
In a similar vein, financial services giant John Hancock used the powerful pull of the familiar to build bonds within the local community.
The sole goal behind a party thrown in January by Boston-based John Hancock Financial Services for the new owners of the Red Sox baseball team was to bring the city together. "The bidding process was really divisive," notes senior vice president of corporate communications Stephen Burgay. "But it was over, someone won, and our president felt it was a good thing for us to get everyone together." The firm is in the perfect position to play host: John Hancock is a corporate sponsor of Major League Baseball and a fixture on the Boston scene.
With local advertising agency Hill Holliday and event producer Party by Design, the event team virtually re-created Red Sox home stadium Fenway Park in the city's Cyclorama auditorium. Some 700 guests representing government, business, cultural associations, neighborhood groups and the media enjoyed catering stations inside a loving rendition of the historic ballpark, including 10,000 square feet of Astroturf, "living statues" in 1930s uniforms, the infamous "Green Monster" wall and even the ballpark's original organ.
He knew the event was a hit, Burgay says, not only because "people talked about it for weeks, but we also heard that it was a great opportunity for the community to get together."
The event team behind an awards gala last January used a theme of shared history to build an emotional bridge between the two newly merged banks forming TD Canada Trust.
At the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, in Vancouver, British Columbia, nearly 200 guests sat down to place settings featuring silver chargers with a clock face inset, underscoring the event's "time" theme. Alternating with awards presentations were video highlights of news events, television programs and milestones of each bank from the '60s through the '90s, introduced by bank executives in period dress.
The time theme helped to "recognize all of the past history from both companies to merge the corporate cultures," explains Barb Stangoe, branch manager for TD Canada Trust. But the evening's overriding goal was to recognize the superior work of employees. "People get really pumped up and take that enthusiasm back with them to the branch. It builds on itself."
The passage of each decade was underscored by a dramatic lighting change that washed over the entire room. During dessert — presented on an ice plate decorated with the new company's logo — the company president again took the stage to predict a positive future for the newly merged organization. Notes hotel conference services and catering manager Alan Ferris, CMP, "For guests, it was their time to shine."

SPECIAL EVENT BUDGETS PER GUEST ARE HIGHER in 2002 than 2001, say half of respondents. Thirty percent say they are spending more guest in 2002; 20 percent say they are spending less.
EIGHT IN TEN RESPONDENTS SAY THEY TRY TO MEASURE ROI, return on investment, for their special events. Most rely on a combination of surveys, media hits and sales results.
THE DESIRE TO MARKET PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS is the trend having the biggest impact on special events, followed by (in order) the desire to educate employees; the individual company's financial situation and post-9/11 sentiments (tie); the desire to boost employee morale and the desire to thank customers (tie); and the sluggish economy.
Note: Results are based upon an informal survey and are not statistically valid.

One needs to find good doctor, for instance, endocrine system professional.
So, for the first, one needs fellow's opinion, among those whose thyroid was ill.
But for this, one needs to know who have which illnesses among fellows.
And for this, one needs to be interested in other people's illnesses!

I think there are box in mind we have empty after birth. Sometime it is open suddenly for short period of time and random things from around falling into it. The box size is almost the same among all people. It is impossible to meet someone without problems in mind, but we can easily notice that amount of problems is roughly the same among all people. It looks like human have limited capability to stick on their problem.

By the way, let's raise a question: how many self-murderers fake their suicides as accidents? For the sake of taking off relatives and parents from personal things and notes and blogs, so they will not dig it so deeply trying to find anything could explain a reason of suicide?

Well, The Offending Adam, once again, has put together another terrific profile of a writer's poetry. This week, which is the 164th installment of the weekly online magazine, features selections from Toby Altman's Arcadia, Indiana.
In his introduction, TOA edtior Ryan Winet says of Altman's sonnet-sequence-and-verse-play-hybrid that the excerpts "indulge in the ventriloquist's joy, in the play of voices, puns, and adopted speech patterns. The very structure of these poems suggests voice and echo, call and response."
I agree with what Winet has to say and would like to add that "Landscape With Wind" is fucking awesome. Here is the sonnet half of the poem in its entirety:
I find I am a great many people
each one networking with the wind.
I find I am sexed by the scent of things:
severe and stormy–somewhat cheerful.
I find I am fragile as the weather:
weather that weather composes.
I find I am populated by roses,
dusky flesh and bush of leather:
built by thought and thrilled by startled songbirds,
which rising choir I call "brutes,"
I call "exemplary bodies," call "use,"
since all at work with time, you lunch your words
at this table of wind and breast,
which I call "certainty," call "rest."
The poem's anaphora offers a sonic repetition, working through a series of standard poetic tropes. But Altman tweaks those tropes for our contemporary moment, such that the Whitmanesque "I am a great many people" refers to the "networking" of hyper-capitalism and social media. Likewise, the invocation of "weather" becomes tautological, and his "songbird" becomes a mockingbird through the direct quotation in the concluding "call" section.
I would highly recommend reading the verse play half of this poem, as well as the other selections from Arcadia, Indiana. And, while you're at it, check out this video of Toby reading the poem at Rust Belt Books in Buffalo, NY earlier this year.

Work will begin next week on improvements to 124 MetroBus stops located in the City of St. Louis. The improvements will provide new or better access for MetroBus customers with disabilities.
Work on the first group of bus stops will begin Monday, November 12. The affected stops are:
MetroBus customers will continue to be served during the construction process. MetroBus operators will watch for customers waiting on either side of the bus stop.
Thirty-eight MetroBus stops located along the Missouri Department of Transportation Right of Way will also undergo improvements as part of this project. The cost of the entire project is $600,000 and work should be completed on the selected bus stops in the City of St. Louis and MoDOT Right of Way in late spring of 2013.
The bus stop improvements are funded by a U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration New Freedom Program grant. The purpose of the program is to help remove some of the barriers facing Americans with disabilities who want to integrate into the work force and fully participate in society.

because the relatives of the deceased could make them as long or as short as they pleased. It is probable that Books of the Dead were not written in hieratic during the XVIIIth dynasty.
Acom- 1° September, 1874, at a special meeting of the second
piete edi- International Congress of Orientalists, a resolution was passed lion of the " *; , . *
Book of to the effect that for the furtherance of Egyptian studies an
the Dead edition of the Book of the Dead, or the "Bible of the Old
contemplated. Egyptians," as critical and complete as possible, should be
steadily kept in view. It was further resolved that such an edition should contain the text of the Book of the Dead in three forms :—1. Under the Old Empire ; 2. Under the Theban dynasties of the New Empire; 3. Under the Psammetici (XXVIth dynasty).1 A Committee was formed which was composed of Messrs. Birch, Lepsius, Chabas and Naville, and M. Naville M. Naville undertook the labour of this work. At the instance tornakek65 °^ Lepsius the Berlin Academy voted a sum of 3,000 theedition. marks for preliminary expenses, and the Prussian Government voted 4,800 thalers for its publication. When M. Naville began to collect materials for his edition, he found that the texts of the Old Empire were so few while those of the XXVIth dynasty were so many, and had so few actual variants in them, that he abandoned the idea of making an edition of the texts of the first and third recensions, and at the Fourth International Congress of Orientalists held at Florence, in September, 1878, he asked the Committee to Change allow him to alter the original plan, and he stated his intenof plan. tjon Qf confin;ng himself to collecting carefully all the necessary texts for a critical edition of the Theban recension of the Book of the Dead. He believed that in order to obtain a correct text of this recension, accurate copies of carefully written papyri must be published, from which, by comparison, the text may be emended. In 1886 M. Naville gave to the world the two volumes which contained the results of his twelve years' labour, under the title of Das Aegyptiscfte Todtenbuch der XVIII. bis XX.Dynastie, Berlin,* fol. The first

volume contains the text1 and vignettes which were ably drawn by Madame Naville, and the second contains the variants. In a small quarto volume published a few months later, we have four chapters in which are discussed the Theban edition of the Book of the Dead, its history, its importance and the manner in which it was written ; the description of the texts used by M. Naville, remarks on each chapter of the Book of the Dead, and a list of the chapters in hieroglyphics. The texts of the Theban recension contain many corrupt readings, but it is of the greatest importance to have the material at hand from which a critical edition may one day be made, and M. Naville has rendered invaluable service to the science of Egyptology by bringing it together.2
Among the most valuable publications of texts of the Recent Theban recension of the Book of the Dead must be mentioned, Prin,ed
'copies of
Photographs of the Papyrus of Nebseni* in the British Museum, texts. 1876, fol.; Facsimile of the Papyrus of Am (published by the Trustees of the British Museum, 1890, fol.); Papyrus Futi/raire de Nebset, ed. Pierret, 1872; and the papyrus of Shuti-Qenna, by Leemans, Papyrus Egyptien Fun&aire Hit'roglyphique du Mus/e a Leide, 18S2, Livraison 5, Part III.
A useful example of a hieroglyphic text of the Book of the Dead not earlier than the XXVIth dynasty, is that which Lepsius published in 1842 from a papyrus in Turin; the text is full of blunders and difficulties but, notwithstanding this fact, the work is a standard one for reference, and is of considerable value. Of hieratic texts belonging to a period subsequent to the XXVIth dynasty, the copy published by De Rouge is an excellent example.4
An English translation of the Book of the Dead was Translapublished by Birch in the English edition of Bunsen's Egypt's itoot°ofhe Place in Universal History,~Vo\. V, pp. 161-333, and a French the Dead, translation by Pierret, entitled Le Livre des Morts des Ancieus

A number of " supplementary" chapters were published by Pleyte (Cltapitres suppUmetitaircs du Livre des Morts, 162, 162*, 164-174) with translation and commentary, at Leyden in 1881, and Schiaparelli has translated and commented upon a large portion of one of the Books of the Dead in // libro dei funerali degli antichi Egisiani.1 Antiquity The age of the Book of the Dead is unknown, but it is Book of certain that parts of it are as old as the beginning of Egyptian the Dead, civilization, and Theban tradition in Egypt asserted that the

The Book of the Dead is composed of a series of chapters,1 each one of which formed a distinct composition, which could be added to or omitted from a papyrus according to the wish of those who were causing a copy to be made.2 Champollion divided the book into three parts:—chapters 1-15, 16-125, and 126 to the end; but had this scholar lived to devote more time and attention to the subject he would have seen that these divisions3 were purely arbitrary.

It contains texts which were ordered to be inscribed upon amulets and bandages for the benefit of the dead; it contains a plan of the mummy chamber and the arrangement of certain pieces of furniture in it; it contains the text of the confession of the deceased in the presence of the fortytwo assessors, and the scene of the weighing of the heart in the judgment hall of Osiris; it has a representation of the Elysian Fields, etc. In our limited space here it is impossible to give the briefest summary of the chapters of the Book of the Dead and their contents; the above notes are only intended to indicate the best books and chief authorities on a work which is so often referred to in these pages.

They vary from six to ten inches in height, and are often made in three pieces, viz., the curved neck-piece, the column and base. The column is usually round or square, and the base is oblong. The neck-piece is sometimes supported by two columns or pillars, fluted (B.M. No. 17,102), but it may be joined to the base by six supports (B.M. No. 2543), or even by twenty-one (B.M. No. 18,155). Pillows are made also in the shape of animals, e.g., B.M. No. 20,753, which is in the shape of a stag, the horns being curved downwards to form the neck-piece. Neck-pieces and columns are sometimes ornamented with ivory studs (B.M. No. 2541). The base is frequently dispensed with, and the supports are made in the form of the necks of ducks, the ends terminating in their heads and beaks. Such examples have usually the ends of the neck-piece ornamented with carvings of figures of the god Bes (B.M. No. 18,156), and sometimes with grotesque figures (apes ?) wearing plumes, and being led along by chains (B.M. No. 2256^). Such animals greatly resemble those represented on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser II. The column of a Omamen- wooden pillow is ornamented in various ways, and the name of piliows°f deceased is often written upon it in hieratic or hierogly

If you love using the Smart Cover with your iPad, but hate how there are only two rather limiting viewing angles, here's a Kickstarter project you'll want to back. Created by app developer Dotan Saguy, this mighty simple gizmo's called the Smarter Stand for iPad and it's essentially a clip that slides into the side of the Smart Cover in order to "lock" the folding points in place. So if you were to place the Smart Stand at the first fold, the iPad will be held up at a 33 degree angle; at the second fold, it turns into a 45 degree stand. In case you're wondering, the clips even work on the recently released Apple Smart Case. To help stop the iPad from slipping, a polyurethane pad that sticks to the base of the tablet is also included (not required for the Smart Case as the neoprene of the back cover provides sufficient grip).
Amidst all the hoopla surrounding the WWDC 2012 Keynote, Apple has quietly released the iPad Smart Case, an accessory iPad owners have no doubt been waiting for since day one. It's essentially a Smart Cover, but with a polyurethane hardshell to protect your iPad's aluminum back. The Smart Case is now available for shipping at the Apple Online Store and priced at $49. It also comes in 6 different colours and you can even get a free engraving on the back of the case. You can now finally ditch that Smart Cover in favour of its newest sibling for the added protection – that is if you don't already have the Griffin IntelliCase.

In its essence the Orthospherian-conservative argument against liberalism seems to be that liberalism is a rebellion against proper authority and ultimately God. They see all authority as derived from God in a continuous hierarchy. Thus a rejection of any link in the chain is a rejection of the chain entire (i.e., a rejection of God). I assume according to this philosophy that all authority is good in their eyes and thus any attempt by an authority to apply an ethic of freedom and equality (i.e., liberalism) onto its citizens is an abrogation of its authority and in effect a self-contradictory rejection of its own goodness (which is therefore bad).
The Orthospherians assert liberal authority is self-defeating at best and self-destroying at worst. A liberal authority by definition supports those who rebel against authority (i.e., liberals). This rejection of authority takes the form of fighting for freedom and equality. Liberals, therefore, exist in a perpetual state of revolution against the injustice of inequality and because inequality is inherent to existence. Thus, although liberalism on some level purports to have an idyllic end game it is the struggle itself that is the real end game.
Liberalism as defined by the Orthospherian contributor named Zippy is the political doctrine which holds that securing individual freedom and equal rights is a primary and legitimate purpose of government. There is a standard meme on the Othosphere declaring that liberalism is "incoherent" as a political philosophy. This meme is most clearly championed by Zippy who argues that the primary purpose of securing freedom and equal rights for its citizens which defines liberalism is at odds with a government's other primary purpose which is to maintain law and order. It is because of this supposed incoherency that any liberal government must become more and more repressive over time in order to maintain the freedom and equal rights of its citizens. This repression works against anyone who would champion conservative values which stand in opposition to freedom and equal rights. Because (as is believed by the Orthospherians) the universe is fundamentally unfree and unequal the liberal government has set itself against the universe. This is ultimately self-defeating and can only be maintained by becoming more and more repressive in its means of maintaining this system as the reality of the universe closes in on it.
In this way the Orthospherians can make the argument that Stalinism and Nazism are both liberal ideologies even though neither one respected the freedom and equal rights of its citizens. I suppose the argument goes something along the lines of, but for a liberal authority seeking to create a society of free and equal citizens there would be no need to become authoritarian so as to suppress the conservative forces opposing it. As such it is the initial aim of freedom and equality that matters when labeling a government liberal and not the ultimate unfree and unequal outcome.
In contrast to liberals, the true Orthospherian-conservatives believe in authority and obedience to authority. In this dynamic there is no contradiction of primary purposes and thus no need for the ever increasing level of authority that liberalism inevitably brings about. It would seem that authority is good but ever increasing authority is bad in the eyes of the Orthospherians. Moreover, an authority based government whose primary function is not to create a society of free and equal citizens is stable and unchanging (which is good).
I have not observed any Orthospherian make the argument that the citizens of such a state will ultimately be happier in the bargain but I assume they would naturally think this. I also assume they at least believe that the members of the elite class in this society would be happier than under liberalism. I suspect there is somewhat of a "tough shit" approach to anyone who might feel cheated by their place in society under an Orthospherian ideal government. But to complain would be to espouse liberal values after all and such is the price to pay for stability.
I must admit that the Orthospherian world view seems logically consistent on a broad theoretical level but only if the terms "freedom" and "equality" are defined absolutely and not relatively. Certainly no government can maintain law and order while at the same time leaving its citizens free to do whatever they want. But no liberal has ever defined freedom in this way. So long as there is a balance between the two there really is no incoherence in liberalism as defined by Zippy.
Another way Zippy attempts to chip away at liberalism is to argue that there really is no objective thing called freedom. Specifically he asserted in a comment,
Borrowing from liberal philosopher John Rawls, whether or not you consider a particular society 'oppressive' generally depends entirely on who you happen to be in that society and (adding the part that Rawls carefully avoids) what you think it is good to enforce. A 'free society' is – the question is begged – one which sends the right sort of people to prison.
I think this argument fails because it ignores the fact that there is a generally agreed upon view as to just what rights are respected in a free society of the West. These rights are very well articulated in the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution and can be clearly demonstrated when one compares the society of North Korea with the United States. Obviously one society is more free than the other and it is not merely a difference of opinion as to who belongs in jail.
Zippy also tries to demonize liberalism by pointing out the evils it is responsible for,
When it comes to the matter of 'repression' and the like, it may be worth pointing out that (e.g.) feminism (which is as American as Rosy the Riveter) has slaughtered far more innocents than the Nazis and the Stalinists combined.
Of course Zippy is alluding to legalized abortion within modern Western countries. I suppose the argument goes that a government whose primary purpose is securing individual freedom cannot deny a woman the right to have an abortion. Therefore liberalism is responsible for all the deaths abortion has caused. There may be some merit to this position but it is worth pointing out that abortion existed prior to the advent of liberalism. I honestly do not know if the number of abortions practiced since it became medically safe and legal exceeds all prior abortions in raw numbers or in frequency. But I do know it cannot logically be said that liberalism is responsible for abortion if it existed both before and after liberalism came into being.
The supposed evils of liberalism are debatable. I do not know that liberalism always and necessarily leads to more authoritarian governments. I do not know that liberalism is any more or less stable a form of government than is a monarchy. History has demonstrated that monarchies can be overthrown by liberal forces and I do not think any revolution happened simply because the citizens were acting naughty and not respecting their proper authorities. It seems obvious to me that there were more real and complex dynamics at work.
I also do not know that liberalism is a rejection of God. I believe in freedom and equal rights and I also believe in and love God. I further believe that one has to be free in order to love God authentically. Is that not the point of God endowing man with free will?
As I have said before, it is not my intention to argue against conservatism in this series of blog posts. I merely wanted to document my thought process as I took in what I learned. So any counter argument I may have made is simply what came to mind when I considered the various positions I encountered. My original intention was to better understand the Alt-Right in connection with the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. It turned out that the Orthosphere was not the best place to do that as most of the contributors there identified themselves as Traditionalists. But I do feel like I have come to a better understanding of the wider conservative movement through this exploration. Even though the conservatism I encountered at the Orthosphere is probably more intellectually grounded than the conservatism espoused by the bulk of those who voted for Mr. Trump. I suspect their conservatism is more emotionally based but I do not know that for a fact.
Obviously there is more to learn but I am going to leave things here for now. Once more I thank the commenters from the Orthosphere for the information they provided me along the way.

Hello Booknerds!
Today I'm closing out the French Kissed Blog Tour! I'm excited and honored to be a part of this tour as I'm a huge fan of the International School series by Chanel Cleeton. French Kissed is the final installment of this series and I couldn't have been happier to get my hands on this story! So let's move on right to the review!
*I was provided a free ebook copy of French Kissed in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own and are not influenced by any outside factors.*
Warning: This novel is a New Adult novel and recommended for readers 17 & up due to it's contents.
The Review
As I mentioned above, French Kissed is the last book in the International School series by Chanel Cleeton. I was very excited that Fleur was given her own story and I couldn't wait to see how it played out. But before I launch into my review I have two words for you: THE EPILOGUE!!! Oh my freaking bookish goodness! I was so very happy that Cleeton included that epilogue. If you've read French Kissed, you'd understand my inner happy dance at that ending. I was just smiling ear to ear!
OK now that I've got that off my chest, let's talk the actual story. French Kissed follows Fleur's senior year at the International School in London. She's had a rough few years and now she's just hoping she can graduate. Fleur's guarded and puts on a mask of perfection, while deep inside she's just as vulnerable and flawed as everyone else around. The only one who seems to see past her facade is her ex-boyfriend's best friend, Max. Saying Fleur and Max don't get along could be an considered an understatement, but after being paired together for a school project things begin to change. Suddenly, Fleur can't think of anyone but Max.
Max is gearing up for the most important interviews of his life during his senior year at the International School. Landing a job right out of school in the prodigious financial district of London would prove to everyone back home that he could succeed and fulfill his dream. Then, he gets partnered with Fleur in a school project. Although they've always been at odds with each other, Fleur has always been the girl Max wanted to be with. Soon sparks begin to fly and Max can only think of Fleur.
While things begin to heat up, disaster is just around the corner. Soon Fleur's past is threatening her future with Max and Max is doubting he could ever fit into Fleur's world. In the end will they get their happy ending?
Leave it to Cleeton to not only provide a steamy read full of chemistry, but also a drama-filled novel that can only come out of the International School setting she created.
What I loved most about this novel was being able to see Fleur as a more developed character. She was such a strong secondary character in Maggie and Samir's story in both I See London and London Falling. However, with this novel we actually get to delve deeper into her character as the story revolves around her and Max. It was great being able to see Fleur actively working on changing and becoming the person she wanted to be. We also saw more of her flaws and the emotional upheaval she was still dealing with from the years prior. It made her more likable and I was able to connect with her more than when she was just a secondary character.
I also loved Max. He was the perfect type of person to pair Fleur with. His personality was just what she needed and they complimented each other well by the end. Max also had his own growing to do throughout the novel and it was great to see his revelation at the end. Cleeton did a wonderful job of bringing these two characters together and illustrating their relationship.
While I did really enjoy this novel, I have to say my heart is still with Maggie and Samir. Their story will always be my favorite one of this series. I think because there was a bit more drama surrounding it and a lot more of a character change/development for both of them. That isn't to say Fleur and Max's story didn't have enough, it certainly had a lot of action and drama. I think I was just bitten by the Maggie/Samir bug and I'm stuck like this 😉
Anyway, Fleur and Max's story is definitely worth a read. Fleur very much deserved her own story and her own conclusion. Cleenton's writing has proved once again that she can produce a witty, sexy and very real story! If I didn't have to sleep, I'd have finished this novel in one day! Like her two stories before, I couldn't put this down. So if you're in the mood for a great contemporary New Adult novel with a European setting then pick up this series ASAP! I will definitely be revisiting this series in the future as the characters were very memorable and the stories juicy and enjoyable.
I DO recommend that you read the first two book of this series before reading French Kissed. While this novel could technically be read as a standalone, there is so much background and storyline that takes place in the first two books. Without having some of this, I feel like the third book might be a bit confusing and turn some readers off. So I'd definitely recommend you read these novels in sequence!
The Final Rating:
The Details:
Publisher: Chanel Cleeton
Pages: 256
Price: $2.99
Place: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, GoodReads
Thank you for stopping! To learn even more about French Kissed and Chanel Cleeton, I recommend you read my Release Day post about the novel. Also check my blog for reviews of the first two novels in the series!
So I want to know: Maggie and Samir or Fleur and Max? Who did you love more? Also that EPILOGUE!!! Am I right?! Ugh! Ok leave your thoughts below! I'd love to hear what you thought of this novel and series!
Later Booknerds!

It seems all is not well donw Easter Road way tonight, with the news that Danny Galbraith has been banned from the Hibees East Mains training facility.
The 22-year-old has been out injured since last season, and had been working through his rehab to push for a first team place again.
So far there has been no statment from the club or player, and no inkling as what the reason is for this move has been, but it seems Hibs boss Pat Fenlon has banned the former Hearts youngster from the training ground.
I suppose it's a case of wait and see what happens, but could Galbraith have played his last Hibs game.
Galbraith has played 60 games since moving to Edinburgh from Manchester United 3 years sgo.
Man Utd signed Galbraith when he was 16 from Hearts and had to pay the Gorgie outfit a fee for the highly rated youngster.

Care About Female Infertility
Female infertility is a feeling which cannot be shared. The person who is undergoing it feels that all are insulting her by advising. For the people around getting babies will be a casual thing. But as many treatments the female takes there are so many things which will go worse. The relationship with the husband will be the first thing to get worsened. All the husbands do not understand. They feel that not getting children is a big draw back. Some of them will show out this feeling and some may be contained. But the wife will surely know the difference of the relationship.
As much as thirty percent of the cases test result shows female infertility. This will be a mental torture for both the husband and wife. The people around also will remind about the number of years they have spent after marriage. If the husband understands and is more loving, then the lady will break down. If the husband does not understand, then the wife feelings will turn out to be frustrated, angry and guilty. If they communicate freely, then they can share their feelings but ego stops them sometimes. The anger and tension also does not allow for a normal pregnancy. So the lady has to meet a counselor for overcoming her feelings.
It is better not to decide anything before meeting a doctor. The doctor will do many tests before deciding about female infertility. If the infertility is incurable, then there are many options like surrogacy and test tube babies. The doctor will be the best person to advice for the couple. If both the couple is not able to decide then it is better to meet a counselor for better decisions. The treatments for infertility do not get covered in the health insurance plans.
Most of the infertility tests will be costly and the couple has to undergo a great emotional conflict. The treatment and tests have to be done regularly as this will count for every step. The women will be mostly advised to use the home fertility test kit. The female has to record her body temperature and this will tell exactly the day of ovulation. The pregnancy can occur only when the woman is having her ovulation. So the ovulation kit will help her to decide for her pregnancy. When the temperature shoots, it is the ovulation day. This kit will help the women to have privacy and reduce the number of visits to the clinic.
If the ovulation day is noted and still there is difficulty in getting pregnant then it is better to meet the fertility doctor. The main reasons for the infertility in female are due to many uterus problems, hormone imbalance or due to ovary mal-function. Some of the problems are curable and some of them are not curable. The females should get ready for the other options when the doctor advises that there is no other way left. Dr. Rita Bakshi and International fertility centre will suggest the females who are undergoing these problems with best solutions.

How To Choose The Right Recruitment Agency.
Employers and job seekers need to choose the right recruitment agency for themselves. In the world today, many employers hire the recruitment agencies to help them identify the right candidates for their company. They mainly deal with screening of the ideal candidates as well as see if the candidate at hand understands that it is important to follow the policies set apart.
The recruitment process is a huge process which can take a long time to come into terms with and therefore the employers prefer leaving it to the professionals who can do it easily. When it comes to matching the right candidate, you will find that they will know the best candidate to position. Some of these given tips help in identifying which the best candidate is for a certain position.
The main thing that you should always know is the objective of your job search. You will need to know if you are able to work as a full time or a part time employee. You will find that there are the employers that will be best in some types of employments and that is why you will need to get the ideal kind of employment at hand. When it comes to dealing with the recruitment agencies, you will find that it is very important to indicate your kind of job that you need for an easy placement.
There are different agencies dealing with very different forms of employment and it is very important to choose the right kind of an employment for yourself. If you happen to want a temporary kind of employment then do not go into an agency that mostly deals with permanent employment. We have other times that there are specifications that one needs to look at like the fact that they may be dealing with either engineering or else the information technology. You should be able to research so well about the agency that you are dealing with so that you may be sure of what to expect.
The recruitment out there are quite a number and they will offer a number of things. For example the large recruiting firms are the best when dealing with since they will have so many offers from the large companies to help them in recruiting the right members. The small companies are also great in that they will go deeper in knowing the client and in many cases they are able to give the best kind of employees to the companies. The small companies work best in knowing the need of the clients.

ORLANDO, Fla., July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) a $288 million contract to modernize its live training program. As the prime contractor, Lockheed Martin will partner with Saab (Stockholm: SAABB) to provide a simplified training solution that combines multiple vehicle crew training systems into a single product line.
Managed by the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), the system includes training kits of laser detectors and transmitters to equip military trucks, training weapons, and armored vehicles. The new Instrumentable Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (I-MILES) Vehicle Tactical Engagement Simulation System (VTESS) program will allow seamless integration with the Army's existing Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems.
"Through I-MILES VTESS, we are changing the way vehicle crews take part in training exercises with an open architecture system that is robust and simple to use," said Sandy Samuel, Lockheed Martin Vice President, Training and Simulation Solutions. "Together, these systems enable soldiers to conduct live, highly realistic force-on-force training with their existing platforms and weapons systems."
Leveraging Lockheed Martin's SciosLive™ baseline, I-MILES VTESS components were designed to make the system easier for individual soldiers to manage and operate in the field. Compared to the current MILES Tactical Vehicle System, the Lockheed Martin system is smaller, lighter and features simplified components.
"This contract is a result of an excellent combination of skillsets and capabilities from both Saab and Lockheed Martin," said Åsa Thegström, head of Training & Simulation within Saab's Dynamics business area. "Together with Lockheed Martin, we will deliver a training system that provides the Army with the best training capability for future needs."

Battling a life-threatening illness is challenging enough, but when confronted with a second debilitating health condition, Elisabeth Kepley knew she was in for a different kind of fight.
"It almost took me out," said Kepley of her Stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis in 2006. "My organs were shutting down, and I was very sick," recalled the single mother of three. "Ten years later, though in remission, I learned that the chemotherapy used to treat my cancer had nearly destroyed my heart."
In fall 2016, Kepley was visiting her son in Colorado when her heart began to fail. She was admitted to a local hospital and then flown back home with a life vest and medications. When she tried to get an appointment to discuss a transplant at a New York City hospital, she was turned down because she wasn't "sick enough."
She then turned to Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, in Valhalla. "When I walked into the Emergency Department doors at 4 a.m. on December 27, I couldn't walk more than a few feet before I had to stop," she said. By January 1, 2017, she was placed on the list for a heart transplant.
While waiting for a heart, Kepley remained hospitalized for four months, so doctors could keep a close eye on her.
"To qualify for a transplant, a patient has to be sick enough to require hospitalization," said Dr. Chhaya Aggarwal-Gupta, a cardiologist at WMCHealth. "Some medical centers require cancer or former cancer patients to wait five years before getting a transplant, but they may not have that long."
According to Aggarwal-Gupta, two out of the 25 to 30 heart transplants completed at Westchester Medical Center each year are performed on cancer patients. "We go the extra mile," she said, "though the decision is based on each individual. Because of the risks, patients have to be compliant about follow-up, taking their medications and eating healthfully. Elisabeth's recovery has been very uneventful, which is what you want."
