Today is Trey's 6th birthday!
Trey is an important part of this large family.
And an even more important part of this smaller family.
Well, I got to play with electronics two times.
Yes. Where are you going? Mom, where are we going? We're going to Tony Boomba's for pizza.
KaZoing Bounce House.
Yes! What did you do there? I bounced on bouncies. I waited for my friends. And I had fun. And I also had cupcakes and popcorn and pretzels.
Yes What were they? Well, I got a Starwars Lego set and I got a bow and arrow - a toy one - and also a Spider Man guy and another Iron Man.
Yes! Only 4 more days. Have you been a good boy this year? Yes. I know you have.
Well. A transformer, a Ninja Turtle Sword. a remote control helicopter and a bubble ball. Like it bounces and floats like a bubble. Well it bounces like a ball and glides like a bubble.
Well. We're gonna see our cousins. And play on the beach? Yeah! Well.... go in the water at the beach.
Hmmm. Well. I'm turning 6. Also, I'm hoping I'll get a phone so I'll have an App to tell me what time it is and also there's something that holds your phone. Well, also what I got for my birthday was a little thing that you throw on it and see who gets the high score. It's called a dart board and the magnets are really strong and I can seiously throw all of them at once and some of them might make it and some might bounce and go away. But it if hits the color part then it would stick. Is it in your room? Yes, but it's not hanging up yet.
How do like having your own room. Not very good but since it's winter break for two weeks I'm getting to sleep in my brother's room on his bed instead of laying on the floor. Well I do like having my own room a little. It's really different than sleeping with my brother, Ethan.
Yes and the first day I rode my bus I made two new friends. Wow that's great! You like living in your new neighborhood then? Yes

Worldwide cleantech venture investments were up 38 per cent to $8.4 billion (U.S.) in 2007 2008, according to the Cleantech Group. Companies in the United States raised $5.8 billion, or 68 per cent of the global total, up 56 per cent compared to 2007.
China was up 22 per cent on the year. Germany was up a staggering 217 per cent. Israel, not to be outdone, was up 224 per cent.
And Canada? Shamefully, cleantech companies from my home and native land only managed to raise $159 million from 14 disclosed financing rounds, down 58 per cent from 2007. Of the countries mentioned by the Cleantech Group that saw a fall in 2008 investments, Canada performed the worst — the others were the U.K., which fell by 11 per cent, and India with a 20-per-cent decline.
I'm bummed. I know there's huge talent in this country, smart entrepreneurs, game-changing ideas and a solid stable of cleantech ventures — just look at the list of companies that have been funded by Sustainable Development Technology Canada over the years, and more seem to emerge by the day. Where are the champions from the financial community? Academia? Government? The high-profile talking heads ready to promote the best and brightest that Canadian, Ontario, or Toronto cleantech has to offer? Where's the branding? The chest-thumping?
I need a glass of wine.
Maybe I'm going on a tangent here, but I can't help but see this as an early sign of Dutch Disease, which happens when there is a reallocation of resources from high-tech service and manufacturing industries to the exploitation of natural resources, particularly as the prices of those resources rise. The Canadian government's obsession with rapid oil sands development, the run-up last year in the price of oil, and the lack of serious attention to high-tech innovation, including cleantech, does fit that bill. It seems like the rest of the country is being gutted to support a one-trick pony, which is a blessing or a curse depending on whether you're riding the pony or not.
I recall a speech by Mike Lazaridis, founder and co-chief executive of Research In Motion, back in March 2006 in Toronto. "Our oil resources can only carry us so far. What are we going to do after they run out?" asked Lazaridis. "What happens if there's a major breakthrough and we're no longer as dependent on oil as we have been in the past? What will we do? Will we have made the wise research investments, industrial investments, infrastructure investments to prepare Canada for a world without oil?"
In a word, no. These latest cleantech investment figures, IMO, are but one example of this neglect.

In 1991, the Littlest Angels fund was established with gifts from a number of forward-thinking donors including American Family Insurance, Attic Angel Association, the Evjue Foundation and the Friends of Meriter.
Today, the program provides financial support for a growing number of families in the Birthing Center, Newborn Intensive Care Unit and Center for Perinatal Care. Each year, more than 500 families received assistance based on their need. The fund offers free or reduced cost infant car seats to safely transport newborns home, emergency funds for cab vouchers to and from medical appointments, assistance with pharmacy charges, breast pumps, meal tickets and lodging assistance. Educational binders are also made available to families with premature or ill infants outlining the special care needs of their newborn.
Gifts to the Littlest Angels fund impact families right here in our community, and even small gifts make a difference and offer one less thing for new parents to worry about. At Meriter, we are making sure that each and every infant has the best start possible.
According to the March of Dimes, about one in nine babies is born prematurely. To help parents during and after this challenging experience, Meriter Hospital offers the SPIN (Supporting Parents In the NICU) support group. SPIN meets once a week and serves as a forum for parents to share their stories, seek advice and other tips when caring for a baby born too soon.
"When you're in a situation like this, when you're in the NICU, it helps to talk to someone who's been there, who knows what it's like to see their baby in an incubator as opposed to a normal crib at home," says Becky Goplin, a mother in the support group. Her son was born at 32 weeks.
The SPIN group is open to parents with infants who are currently or formerly patients in the NICU.
Every Friday NOON - 1:00 pm Lunch and refreshments provided

"Floating" is the removal of sharp points from the cheek side of the horses' upper teeth and from the tongue side of the lower teeth. Floating is the most basic element of regular equine dentistry.
How are the sharp points which make floating necessary created?
As the horse chews it moves its lower jaw, or mandible, downward and outward and grinds its forage by the contraction of facial muscles which close the arcades or lines of teeth together and grind the food between the chewing or occlusal surfaces of the cheek teeth. This occurs as the mandible moves upward and inward.
It is this repetitious grinding inward and upward which keeps the chewing teeth surfaces worn on an angle which appears to slant inward and upward from the cheek or buccal side of the teeth toward the tongue/ lingual or Palatal side of the teeth. This angle is usually around 15 degrees. This slanted surface is called the "surface angle" or "occlusal angle" or "angle of Wilson".
This "surface angle" or "occlusal angle" or "angle of Wilson" combined with the complex construction of the equine chewing teeth lead to the exposed enamel points that "floating" removes.
The confined conditions which horses are typically kept under in captivity contribute to horses developing more pronounced "points" than they would under natural conditions.
How is Floating done?
Enamel points can be reduced by the use of rasp-like tooth "floats", by rotating grinding implements called "rotary burrs", by rotating grinding disks or by mechanically reciprocated rasps or float blades. The instrument used will depend on the practitioner and the instrumentation they use for "floating".
What are the benefits of Floating?
Removing sharp points will make it easier for your horse to chew more thoroughly. As the horse moves its lower jaw to the side in the chewing motion it stretches its cheeks and the cheeks are pulled more tightly against the teeth edges. Sharp, cutting points which are cutting sores in the cheeks will cause horses to eat more cautiously and not masticate the food as effectively as they will when the cheeks can be comfortably stretched across the cheek teeth. Dropping hay and feed are common signs of excessively sharp teeth.
Equine dental 'Floating" has been recognized as necessary for dental and oral health for a long time and the positive affects are obvious to those who have seen horses cut and lacerate their mouths just trying to eat or while trying to perform with a bit in their mouth. Do your horses a favor by having their teeth floated regularly.
September is Dental Month and we are currently offering 10% off regular prices of floats scheduled during Dental Month. Call today to book your appointment! 253-847-3500

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, a native to the Americas, arrived in Africa in early 2016. Since its arrival, it has moved quickly and is now in over 25 African countries including Ethiopia, Kenya, Niger, and Tanzania. The pest has the potential to cause significant damage and yield loss to over 80 plant species, including maize, rice, and sorghum. Already, it is estimated that it will cause over $3 billion in damage to maize throughout Africa in regions that are already food insecure.
In order to help farmers and policy makers manage this pest, the USAID-funded Feed the Future Integrated Pest Management Innovation Lab held an awareness and management workshop in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on July 14-15. The workshop, co-organized by USAID Mission in Ethiopia and the International Centre for Insect Physiology and Ecology, had over 75 participants, including representatives from FAO, CIMMYT, ICRISAT, WorldVeg, DFID, Netherlands Development Agency, EIAR, EARC, KALRO, Desert Locust Research Organization, Fintrac, CropLife, and others. Presentations covered topics including biological control, host plant resistance, and economic impacts among many others. His Excellency Eyassu Abrha, Ethiopian Minister of Agriculture, addressed the participants with the message that IPM is a strategic issue for the Ministry, and encouraged a holistic approach to management of the FAW pest, with pesticides being only one component of an integrated strategy that considers alternative control methods.
Summary of High Priority Recommendations from USAID IPM Innovation Lab Workshop in Addis Ababa
The IPM Innovation Lab, in association with the USAID mission in Ethiopia, organized a two-day workshop on Fall Armyworm in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, July 14-15, 2017. The purpose of the workshop was to assess the magnitude of the problem in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania; develop research strategies; identify high priority areas of research; create awareness; enhance collaboration among national, regional, and international agencies; provide collective insights on training, capacity building, and information dissemination on management options.
The workshop was attended by about 75 participants from national, regional, and international organizations, including members from the governments of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The workshop also included members from plant protection departments, extension, universities, NGOs, the private sector, and international research organizations.
Breakout sessions organized by the workshop resulted in a list of high priority recommendations for combating the Fall Armyworm. They are:
- Integrate cultural, physical, chemical, and biological controls with host plant resistance in management of FAW.
- Survey and document natural enemies of the FAW in East Africa.
- Evaluate the efficacy of the local larval parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor on FAW.
- Evaluate the efficacy of the local egg parasitoid, Trichogrammatoidea armigera on FAW.
- Evaluate the efficacy of other local FAW natural enemies.
- Screen and identify the correct pheromone lure combination for attraction of FAW strains in East Africa.
- Screen insecticides included in the USAID PERSUAP for efficacy and safety under local conditions in East Africa.
- Governments should consider fast track registration of pesticides for control of FAW.
- Conduct FAW host preference and host range studies in East Africa.
- Collaboration within local governments, private companies, and international agencies.
- Integrate management technologies developed for FAW in the IPM package that will be developed by the IPM Innovation Lab for maize and other crops (chickpea, rice, horticulture) in East Africa.

Just like Monday Night RAW the night previous, Smackdown Live recieved a relaunch of sorts, with a brand new set, a new commentary team and it's own distinct roster. With a six pack challenge to crown a #1 contender to Dean Ambrose's WWE Championship, the wrestling return of Randy Orton, debuts from Alexa Bliss and Carmella, returns from Rhyno and Eva Marie, could Smackdown Live out do it's Monday night counterpart at the first attempt?
If Finn Balor getting a shot at becoming the first Universal Champion was shocking on RAW, then Dolph Ziggler becoming Number One contender to Dean Ambrose's WWE Championship was equally so, if not. Ziggler would come out the winner in a six pack challenge, that also included John Cena, AJ Styles, Baron Corbin, Apollo Crews and Bray Wyatt in a rollercoaster of a main event. I'd even noted when Ziggler had been announced for the match, that he was there to make up the numbers and take some bumps for the others who have all been pushed stronger than he over the last six months. I suppose it could have felt like a let down when he won, but because of the nature of the contest it actually felt like a refreshing flash finish, that bought the match to a satisfying sudden halt. Ziggler taking on Ambrose for the belt at SummerSlam, creates space for another big match on the card, in a way that someone like Cena, Styles or Wyatt winning wouldn't have, so it could prove to be a savvy piece of booking over the next three weeks. Also fingers crossed for Ziggler heel turn as the promo possibility would make for an awesome feud.
Taking a similar route to what was seen on RAW, Smackdown used it's first show to showcase as many of it's wrestlers as possible, whilst also putting a meaning behind the multi-man madness. This is a pretty sound strategy, as it says to the audience, these are our top guys and allows each talent to show what they have to offer all at the same time. Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin were both elevated from being involved, with Crews especially impressing, whilst simultaneously getting pushed heavily in the booking. The sequence between the two showed they both have more potential than they have shown since being called up, whilst having Wyatt pull the ref out of the ring to deny a Crews victory will do the former Uhaa Nation wonders going forward. This was a great TV main event, that was full of excitement from the ring bell, went at a lightning quick pace, had a number of huge false finishes and provided a shock victory, a superb end to the first episode of the re-launch.
Taking up the semi-main duties for the night was Randy Orton's wrestling return as he defeated Intercontinental Champion The Miz clean in less than five minutes, with a pair of RKOs. This was an enjoyable bout, that had the beginning of a great story and some world class selling from "The Viper", but two things bugged me. Firstly, Orton sitting around for ages after hitting the first RKO, whilst the commentators talked about Orton going to a place that he'd not been for a long time. I sat watching just a bit confused, thinking that "The Apex Predator" was going to punt the fuck out of Miz's skull, but he just hit a second RKO. Secondly, The Miz looked a complete chump in the finish. He's the Intercontinental Champion for fuck sake, if you want to use him this way then take the belt off him and give it someone else! Everytime the belt is treated like this, it makes it harder to give a shit when someone wins the title, which in turns means that WWE then gives less of a shit about the belt and does more things like this. Good TV bout, with strong performances, but weak booking.
Before the match, Orton was crowned in the undisputed champion of chat show guests as he made an appearance on Miz TV in a decent segment, that the crowd were hot for. The gimmick of Miz interviewing himself, after teasing Orton as a guest, has been done to death over the last few years and whilst it did get some heat, as a home viewer I was hoping to see something a bit fresher. Orton's charisma has really shone through in this run of chat show segments and he was on form here, having fun with the crowd and generally looking like he was having a good time. When you watching someone enjoying themselves, it's difficult not to like observing. The jokes about Miz touching himself and potentially getting bummed by Maryse weren't my cup of tea, but were delivered well and the crowd seemed to be down for that type of tomfoolery. Of course, the segment lead into the match with Maryse accepting Orton's challenge on behalf of her husband.
A re-match for two night's earlier, would see a reverse of the result as Becky Lynch was able to gain some revenge on Natalya by tapping her out with the Dis-Armer after a decent, but unspectacular match. Of course, it was nowhere near the level of Charlotte and Sasha Banks' epic the night before., but it was crisp throughout and was probably a step up from the previous night as pulled out some bigger moves, like Lynch's diving leg drop and a big german suplex from Natalya and put together clever sequences of reversals that weren't all based around their submission holds. It was however just a set-up to introduce Smackdown Live's new roster of women, as a Lynch interview with Renee Young was interrupted by Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Carmella and finally, Eva Marie. Bliss probably did the strongest job with her promo and seemed to get over quickly with the crowd. Marie's entrance was an interesting one with an over-the-top announcer listing her achievements, before the show cut to elsewhere. As cool as Marie's entrance was and the heat that she got, it felt more like a coma, than a full-stop or exclamation point.
In the show's opening match, Apollo Crews would earn his place in the show's main event, by defeating Aiden English, Alberto Del Rio, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Jey Uso, Kalisto, Kane, Konnor, Mojo Rawley, Simon Gotch, Tyler Breeze, Viktor and Zack Ryder in a battle royal that was as flat as a witches tit. Before the field had been wittled down to the final four, the bout was so dull to watch, with Kane's dominance and ADR being eliminated so early being the only notable occurrences. With Kane, Crews, Kalisto and Zack Ryder left, the crowd was solidly behind Ryder, with loud cheers and chants for the Long Island Iced Z. So what did the lad do? Botch everything he hit from then on. His diving elbow drop was a thing of perverse beauty, as he landed on his feet after a stumble and then hit the elbow drop anyway. Kane being booked so strong was beginning to annoy me a little, however with it being used to give Crews the rub, after he flipped out of a chokeslam and eliminated the veteran to win, I was much happier by the end of the night. Compared with RAW's two matches that set-up their main event this battle royal was more than a bit of a shambles.
With an opening segment akin to the previous night, the show began with Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan addressing the roster about their plans for the show. Obviously, we know that he announced they announce the six pack challenge and the battle royal, but there was also some particularly interesting wording in there from Shane O'Mac. He mentioned more than a few times that Ambrose was the only top champion in WWE, a nice reference to RAW launching the Universal Championship, without whacking the audience over the head with the RAW v Smackdown Live rivalry. I did think it was a shame that McMahon and Bryan didn't address anything to do with the women, who had to stand awkwardly around the ring as the men talked about the men. After the major women's match on RAW, I was expecting something to be made of Smackdown Live's roster here.
In an oddly entertaining segment, Rhyno returned to WWE by goreing Heath Slater, after Slater had been canvassing Shane McMahon for a job with the brand.
Fourteen Man Over-the-Top Rope Battle Royal to earn a slot in the Six Pack Challenge Main Event: Apollo Crews def. Aiden English and Alberto Del Rio and Erick Rowan and Fandango and Jey Uso and Kalisto and Kane and Konnor and Mojo Rawley and Simon Gotch and Tyler Breeze and Viktor and Zack Ryder in 12 minutes, 42 seconds
Singles Match: Becky Lynch def. Natalya in 10 minutes, 21 seconds
Singles Match: Randy Orton def. Intercontinental Champion The Miz in 4 minutes, 54 seconds
Six Pack Challenge Match for the #1 Contendership to the World Championship: Dolph Ziggler def. AJ Styles and Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin and Bray Wyatt and John Cena in 16 minutes, 5 seconds.
ATPW Scale Rating - 4.97/10
With RAW truly knocking it for six on Monday, Smackdown replied by getting a couple of runs the day after. The main event was a great piece of television, that ended the show on a real highnote, but the rest of the show seemed to be scratching around with a couple of ideas that didn't completely come off.
It's way too early to call which show is the better one just yet, with neither brand getting into feuds or storylines too heavily in the first week, but on evidence of these two episodes alone, Monday Night RAW has the upper hand for now.

Today is the first day at WSO2Con 2011. Themed "Explore. Connect. Learn", the conference aims to deliver deep dive knowledge and experiences of SOA middleware and cloud computing technologies. The day consisted of interesting talks ranging from IBM global technology perspective for 2011 from Dr. C. Mohan (the keynote) to technical talks focused at cloud computing and real world SOA success stories.
So here is some little insider information of what IBM vision for near future summed up to one word.
Yes the world is in dire need for better analytics for smarter proactive decision making from ever growing big data. It's a matter of getting out actionable data out of continuous information streams at reasonable processing times. Big data and scalable analytics systems are becoming important in this context.
A related talk by Sumedha focused on why data is important and how data base systems should be chosen with the recent advent of myriad data base systems in NoSQL front. The gist of the talk was that, be it relational or NoSQL it's according to the actual requirements of the application which should determine the type of data management system. Several aspects to consider are the expected volume growth, scalability, transactional requirements, data access patterns, required management functions etc.
The day concluded with a panel discussion with a panel of industry experts on cloud computing paradigm. All in all it was an interesting day filled with lots of valuable technical insights…

This is a free, community-driven Q&A website about interpreting, i.e. spoken language translation.
The target community for this site is composed of professional or occasional interpreters, interpreting students, their trainers but also buyers and users of interpreting services and other stakeholders in the conference industry, such as event planners, convention centres, standardisers and equipment suppliers.
We invite each of them to contribute their questions and answers to the site.
So What? Who cares? Isn't this just like a dozen other websites?
What's so special about interpreting.info? Well, nothing, really. But the technology powering this site integrates aspects of wikis, blogs, forums, RSS, social networks and Digg/Reddit in a way that we think helps produce and deliver better information.
Interpreting.info is somewhere in the middle.
But hopefully you'll see what we mean when you participate and experience it for yourself.
Who are the moderators?
We believe good moderation starts with the community itself, so in addition to privileges earned through karma, we will hold democratic moderator elections.
Until the site is large enough to support an election, we will appoint likely moderators from within the volunteers who helped bootstrap this site.
How can I learn more?

Upper-Division Seminar: Hacking Literary Interpretation
Hacking Literary Interpretation
Using Digital Methods to Read Literature
(A Collaborative Project Seminar)
The new field of "digital humanities" is applying the methods of the digital age--computers, the Internet, social media, text analysis, visualization, GIS mapping, etc.--to the study of literature. The UCSB English Department is one of the nation's leaders in digital humanities. This seminar complements training in literary analysis with an introduction to digital-humanities methods that extend the range of literary interpretation. A broader goal is to train students in the digital methods they are likely to encounter in many different professional fields today. The course counts for the English Department's Literature and Culture of Information specialization (LCI) for English majors.
This course works on two parallel tracks:
On one track, students are introduced to methods and tools of the digital humanities--text encoding, data-mining and text analysis (including the cutting-edge approach known as "topic modeling"), social network analysis, mapping, and visualization. These provide extra leverage when reading individual texts or small collections of texts, and really come into their own when reading materials that literary interpretation previously had no way to handle--e.g., "big data" collections of texts or hybrid collections of texts (e.g., novels and newspapers of the nineteenth century). Each class in the early weeks of the course will introduce students to concepts, methods, and tools in the digital humanities, and require "practicums" in which students experiment with the tools in exploratory ways.
On a second track, the course is an experiment in collaborative project-making. With the help and supervision of the instructor, we're going to use the new digital methods to make a class project demonstrating the digital reading of literature. Parts of several classes in the first weeks of the course will be devoted to class discussion about what we would like to do. A tentative working plan is as follows, with more detailed working plans and tasks to follow:
- The class will collect or create a digital "corpus" (a collection of texts in digitized form) for a particular kind or period of literary works.
- Several teams will then be formed in the class, each charged with using particular tasks and digital methods to study the corpus.
- The teams will then integrate the results of their approaches in a single online web page presenting the class project and its interpretive conclusions.
- In addition, students will have individual (and individually graded) assignments that complement the class project. These include two short "thought" essays and a course "portfolio."
- There is no mid-term or final exam in the course.
In short, we're going to study the new digital methods of reading literature and make a project together demonstrating the potential (and, of course, limitations) of those methods. (A broader purpose is to train students in the kind of collaborative team work that many professional fields today require.)
Note: No advanced skills or experience in digital methods is required, though students should have a basic familiarity with using computers and the Internet for their academic work. The instructor will introduce the necessary digital methods.

A new piece of legislation has been signed into effect by Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal in a move to promote new business formation and growth. This new bill is specifically aimed at attracting tourism and small business formation. With this new bill comes a fund amounting to $100 million specifically set aside to support promising technology start-ups.
New business formation will need this fund in their initial start-up phase. This money would be designated to entrepreneurs who would otherwise be forced to move from Georgia or close their business. It is hoped that by promoting new business and tourism, it would bring in more tax money for the state of Georgia.
Business formation requires certain legalities such as contract drafting, licensing, leases, or patents. The legal process behind a new business often requires legal assistance which can be confusing and costly for entrepreneurs. With the state now funding and supporting new business growth, business formation is now an easier to sustain in Georgia.
The ultimate goal for this bill, according to the Governor, is to nurture a business-friendly environment for business formation and new technology start-ups. By setting aside this fund and making venture capital available, it increases tax revenue and attracts new business to a friendly market. It may also encourage growth in other sectors.
It is now easier than ever to start a new business in the state of Georgia. With a new business formation, each legal requirement should be considered and completed carefully. By doing it correctly, and with the support of this new legislation, it will promote success in small businesses.

The UK's 2010 general election resulted in a Coalition Government of David Cameron's Conservatives and Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats
The number of seats each party has after all 650 have been declared.
All three main parties believed they knew what the country wanted - but the voters had other ideas, says Matthew d'Ancona.
Clegg became Britain's most popular man, Mrs Duffy derailed Brown, and a Labour poster did wonders for Cameron.

IBAHCM Equality & Diversity - Athena Swan Silver Departmental Award
In October 2016 the Institute was awarded an Athena SWAN Silver departmental award.
The award updates significantly our earlier Athena SWAN Bronze award that we were awarded in May 2014.
Our new Athena SWAN Silver Award Application and Action Plan demonstrates our continuing and evolving commitment to best practice in recruiting and supporting the career development and progression of female scientists, addressing gender inequalities in higher education.
This reflects the clear culture of our Institute in which we seek to attract the most creative, imaginative, and collegiate researchers to join us, and do so by providing a vibrant, dynamic, personally supportive and empathetic research environment.
Our departmental award complements the renewal of the University of Glasgow's Institutional Bronze award in October 2016, which provides a wider cultural support for gender equality.
Copies of our Bronze Athena SWAN Application and Action Plan and our new Athena SWAN Silver Award Application and Action Plan are available to download, as well as the 2016 Athena SWAN Silver Award Staff Survey Results and the Athena SWAN Silver Award Feedback .
Podcast: The October 2014 edition of our Institute podcast & blog, Naturally Speaking, explored 'Gender inequality in Science'. In the podcast, researchers in the Institute discussed the evidence for women being underrepresented in scientific research and why this bias exists. They then explore the Athena Swan Charter, and how we might reverse any bias and promote more diverse working environments.

Schizophrenic psychoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect about 1% of the world's population. The first symptoms of the disease usually manifest between ages 20 and 30. The diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and its subtypes are characterized in detail in ICD-10. Diagnosis is based primarily on the presence of productive symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations occurring for at least one month which cannot be explained in another way. Schizophrenia is a disease which largely affects social functioning of patients, such as occupational performance, family life, interpersonal relationships or housing situation. Apart from the sociological aspect, social lives of schizophrenia sufferers are significantly impoverished due to cognitive impairment associated with improper functioning of NMDA receptors. The study describes a case of a patient suffering from paranoid schizophrenia which sheds light on the social functioning of this group of patients.
Aim: The aim of the study was 1) to report the case of a 15-year-old boy who developed kleptomania symptoms during methylphenidate treatment and 2) to review the available therapeutic options for kleptomania based on a literature search of Medline and Google Scholar databases (2000–2018).
Case report: For the past seven years a 15-year-old boy had participated in counselling at a psychological counselling centre because of school problems and upbringing difficulties, and had a five-year history of psychiatric treatment for ADHD. He was admitted to the Department of Psychiatry because of recurrent stealing episodes that occurred during methylphenidate treatment. During the hospitalization, the patient did not observe the therapeutic contract – he stole items from other patients. Pharmacotheraputic and psychotherapeutic treatment resulted in a partial improvement in impulsive behaviour. At discharge, he spoke critically of his previous conduct and expressed readiness to continue treatment in an outpatient setting.
- Kleptomania has a very negative impact on a patient's overall well-being.
- In the reported case, kleptomania developed during methylphenidate treatment.
- Kleptomania should always be taken into account as a possible cause of stealing during a psychiatric examination, to avoid stigmatization of patients as criminals.
- Pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy focused on the development of strategies, which can help the patient to control the urge to steal, are important components of kleptomania treatment.
Introduction: Smoking is a huge medical and social problem in Poland, with as many as about 24% of Poles being addicted to nicotine. Approximately 6 million people worldwide die every year from conditions that are closely related to tobacco addiction, such as cancer and cardiovascular, metabolic or lung diseases. The difficulty in combatting nicotine dependence is largely due to the complex mechanism of this addiction. The motivation of a patient to quit smoking is of great importance in the difficult withdrawal process. Strengthening this motivation is one of the most important tasks of physicians and addiction therapists.
Overview of literature: Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) has been the most widely known way to break away from smoking addiction for many years now. It involves delivering nicotine to the body in ways that are less harmful than through tobacco smoke. As a consequence, the cravings for nicotine are reduced, making it easier for the patient to break with the addiction. Clinical trials have shown that the use of NRT is associated with a 50-70% increased chance of maintaining abstinence from smoking compared to placebo. There are many NRT products, including nicotine chewing gum, nicotine patches, lozenges, dissolvable nicotine sticks, or inhalers. Bupropion is a selective dopamine–noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. This drug is one of the most commonly used in the pharmacotherapy of depression in the United States. At the same time, it has been found to have a positive effect on people trying to break up with the habit of smoking cigarettes. The mechanism of action remains unknown in this case, but studies clearly indicate the efficacy of bupropion, which is comparable to the efficacy of NRT. Varenicline is a partial agonist selective for α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It has a higher affinity for these receptors than nicotine. By stimulating them, it causes an increase in dopamine secretion (but to a lesser extent than cigarette smoking), helping in this way ease withdrawal symptoms.
Conclusions: Varenicline has higher efficacy than bupropion and NRTs. Simultaneous use of two NRT forms increases the effectiveness of this method to a level comparable to varenicline. Contrary to previous reports, it seems that varenicline does not increase self-aggressive behaviour and the risk of suicide. The effectiveness of antinicotinic drugs depends on the sex of the patient. For both sexes, the most effective drug is varenicline. It is slightly more effective in women than in men. By contrast, NRT and bupropion show greater therapeutic potential in men.
Alcohol dependence and its treatment is not an exactly resolved problem. Based on the EZOP [Epidemiology of Mental Disorders and Accessibility of Mental Health Care] survey, which included a regular analysis of the incidence of mental disorders in the population of adult Polish citizens, we were able to estimate that the problem of alcohol abuse in any period of life affects even 10.9% of the population aged 18-64 years, and those addicted represent 2.2% of the country's population. The typical symptoms of alcohol dependence according to ICD-10, include alcohol craving, impaired ability to control alcohol consumption, withdrawal symptoms which appear when a heavy drinker stops drinking, alternating alcohol tolerance, growing neglect of other areas of life, and persistent alcohol intake despite clear evidence of its destructive effect on life. At the moment, the primary method of alcoholism treatment is psychotherapy. It aims to change the patient's habits, behaviours, relationships, or the way of thinking. It seems that psychotherapy is irreplaceable in the treatment of alcoholism, but for many years now attempts have been made to increase the effectiveness of alcoholism treatment with pharmacological agents. In this article we will try to provide a description of medications which help patients sustain abstinence in alcoholism therapy with particular emphasis on baclofen.

Building the vision: Enterprise Zones
Established in 2012, the 'Enterprise Zone' is at the heart of the Government's long-term economic plan to support businesses, communities and the economy. There are now 48 zones currently active in the UK, these are establishing themselves as the driving force of local economies as they unlock key development sites, consolidate infrastructure, attract business and create jobs.
The basic aim of the Enterprise Zone is to foster and promote economic activity that encourages growth and creates links to surrounding areas, both local and national. Whilst the focus is largely economic, a key component in the delivery of an Enterprise Zone is building a 'vision' and creating opportunities to initiate investment.
'Visioning' is a participatory process that is key to capturing ideas, aspirations and requirements for an area and helps set the scene for the future of the Enterprise Zone. Planning policies and strategic plans are also set out to underpin the vision and encourage accelerated development, infrastructure investment and to support long-term economic growth.
We can help you build and communicate the vision for your Enterprise Zone. We understand how to present the different levels of scale and accuracy and develop ideas into a shared vision for the future. It is a positive tool and can bring the following benefits:
- Develop a shared vision
- Communicate proposals in an effective way
- Promote the attraction, offer and opportunity.
We use a unique blend of illustrative mapping, marketing and visualisations to engage with communities and stakeholder groups to capture a collective vision. Our specialist skills are tailored to Create Maps, Promote Places and Build Visions.

Hi my name is Abryana, I am 13 years old and I go to the west end library in Pittsburgh. I love anime and manga, and I want to share it to you:)
Death Note-Tsugumi Ohba
I love this anime series!!
It is about a straight A high school student named Light Yagami who finds a notebook outside of his class room. Being curious, he picks it up and finds what it was about. It said Death Note in the front. He skimmed though the beginning of the notebook, and he thought that it was a sick prank. But even though he thought that, he brought to his house to read more about it. It said that "The person's name that is written in this book shall die."
Half disbelieving, he watched the news and found out a criminal was holding hostages in a nursery home. He wonder what would happen if he wrote his name in the notebook. So then a few minutes later thinking hard about it, he decided to put his name in the note book. In exactly 40 seconds later the criminal dropped dead!
Light was stunned but still he thought it was by luck. Later on in the day he did the same thing with another criminal and the same results happened! Now he believes that the Death Note is real, and he is using it to purify the world. He said that he wanted to be the "god of the new world."
Suddenly, Light started to write the names of criminals who are the most notorious in the world. He started to kill 5 criminals a day then later on he started to kill 25 a day!! A Shinigami (a god of death) showed up and warned Light what will happen to him when he dies. The public started to notice and the police too.
The police are doing everything in their power to stop it, but now they are desperate and begged a legendary detective nicknamed L. Now the battle between Light Yagami and L begins.

Ammo Shelf Life: How Long Are Bullets Good For?
Sep 12, 2016
Is There Such A Thing As Ammunition Shelf Life?
One might wonder if there is such a thing as ammunition shelf life. It's a good concern to have, as ammunition should only be used if one can rely on it to be safe.
Granted, one might opine that if a person keeping sufficient ammunition to worry about expiring is probably not doing enough point shooting!
Ammo Shelf Life Is Relative
The truth is that ammo shelf life is somewhat relative. Under ideal conditions, ammunition will actually keep for decades - in fact, in the right conditions...ammunition could potentially last longer than that.
Believe it or not, there are a few things that affect how long ammunition or basically any other non-perishable good that people tend to stockpile, and for that matter, perishable goods as well. Those things are heat, moisture and sunlight.
Outside of perishable goods that require refrigeration or freezing, long term storage in a dry, dark and moderate temperature environment will keep a lot of things nearly indefinitely - certain adult beverages (wine cellars are a thing for a reason), canned or jarred goods, and bullets will all keep for an incredibly long time in such storage.
With more exacting control over these elements, such as if one uses a humidor or other humidity-controlled containment system, then bullets can last even longer. If stored in a vacuum-sealed container and left in a dark, dry place...it would be good basically forever.
That said, how much ammunition that is currently being held by people who have purchased it is being stored in a dark, temperature and humidity controlled container? Not much, in all likelihood; not many people will entertain the idea of having a bullet humidor.
Therefore, the shelf life of ammo is relative, namely to how well it's stored by the person who bought it.
General Ammunition Shelf Life in Basic Conditions
For modern munitions, ammunition shelf life is perfectly sufficient for the average person to keep parcels of ammunition for years, if not decades in all likelihood. So long as the rounds aren't subjected to high heat or moisture, nothing is likely to happen.
Most ammo manufacturers advise that their ammunition should be good for ten years. In reality, it will keep longer. How many people keep ammunition for a decade or longer, though?
However, the target shooter and concealed carrier is somewhat different than the hunter and outdoorsman. The latter takes to the outdoors and deals with inclement weather, whilst the former might not. In fact, a good deal of self-defense ammo will only be in a magazine or a box. A rifle round or shotgun shell for the big game hunter and fowler can get rained on, momentarily submerged and so on.
Water, and more to the point oxygen, has a pesky habit of permeating the molecular bonds of things. Oxygen is kind of like the guy at parties who randomly inserts himself into conversations; it makes things bad for everyone. When oxygen happens to iron, you get iron oxides, one of which - red iron oxide - is rust, and that's just bad.
When it happens to brass or other types of ammunition casing, the result can be rust, corrosion, or at the very least a deactivated primer.
Ammunition Rotation
Though the shelf life of bullets is nearly forever, given the right circumstances, the person who buys the ammunition should treat it according to how it's used. There is also something to be said about rotation of ammo stores.
Ammunition that's basically just for burning at the range merely needs storage in moisture-free, safe place.
However, hunting rounds are another matter. If never taken afield, store normally. Rounds that have gone into the field and were subjected to any moisture at all, should be fired as soon possible, if otherwise discarded.
Ammunition that's been carried in one's concealed carry gun for some time should also be occasionally expended at the range and new rounds rotated in. A number of good reasons exist for doing so - exposure to the elements, indentations from the feed ramp, excess lubrication if present can all negatively impact carry ammunition. It's a good idea to shoot the rounds one carries a few times a year to rotate it out.
Besides, you should practice with carry rounds - that way you know how they perform compared to hardball.

One of the top news stories from 2008 was the FDA approval of "food" from cloned animals. I usually only attempt to show the health benefits of eating a diet free from animal products and generally avoid lecturing on the moral and ethical reasons to avoid meat and dairy. This time, however, I seriously doubt that I am alone in my outrage over this, which not only brings up animal cruelty issues, but religious and moral questions, along with a vast array of safety concerns. This is just another sad display of the FDA's willingness to approve anything in order to line its pockets with money from the USDA and pharmaceutical lobbies. Time and time again, the FDA has proven how inept it is at enforcing proper research and testing into pharmaceutical drugs, and in many cases, thousands upon thousands of deaths have been the result. Rather than protecting the American public from cloned and genetically modified foods, which are being banned or at the very least, labeled in other countries, the FDA has given the factory farm industry the go ahead to sell meat and dairy products from animals cloned and/or possibly genetically engineered by humans.Barbara Glenn of the Biotechnology Industry Organization calls cloning "a breeding technique that will improve the quality and consistency of food" (1). However, Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Consumers Union, says that "data supporting the FDA decision are based on just a few cloned animals and include little information about their offspring." Hmm. Imagine that. The FDA making the decision to approve something based on little to no scientific evidence rather than on extensive research into its safety. Michael Hansen goes on to say that "The vast majority of clones don't make it to adulthood…There are a lot of sickly animals." Such health problems among clones raise concerns about animal welfare and food safety (1). I'm not sure that I understand how sickly cloned animals will "improve the quality" of food, but I guess we won't have to wait long to find out. According to The Wall Street Journal, some farmers have reported that the offspring of cloned animals have already entered the marketplace (3). But you would never know whether the meat you are eating is coming from a traditionally bred animal or a cloned version because the FDA determined that meat and milk from cloned animals and their offspring would not be labeled because it was "the same as conventional food and did not pose a safety risk," (2).Despite the FDA's assurance, some companies have declared that they will not sell milk or meat from cloned animals or their offspring for fear over the safety of such foods, and to spearhead a possible consumer backlash fueled by religious and moral opposition to cloning. During a public comment period that ended in 2007, the FDA heard from more than 150,000 consumers who rejected the Agency's plan to introduce cloned animals into the U.S. food supply (4). Many polls show that the public's opposition to food from clones is incredibly high. A national survey conducted in 2007 by Consumers Union reported that 89% of Americans want cloned foods to be labeled. Additionally, 69% said that they have concerns about the safety of cloned meat and dairy products. A Gallup Poll from December 2007 reported that more than 60% of Americans believe that cloning animals is immoral. A Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology from the same time found that a similar percentage say, despite FDA approval, they will not buy milk from cloned animals (4).There is concern from animal advocacy groups that the use of cloning may contribute to creating even harsher factory farm conditions than presently exist. "The surveys show that the public is morally opposed to cloning. Animals suffer terribly in the cloning process, and the FDA has ignored these issues," said Tracie Letterman, Executive Director of the American Anti-Vivisection Society (2). There is also concern that introducing cloned animals and the offspring of clones into the US market could have economic ramifications in the global marketplace (2).According to Joseph Mendelson, Legal Director of the Center for Food Safety, "The FDA's flawed and cavalier approach to cloned food and its potential impacts called for a truly rigorous scientific assessment," (4). While the FDA repeatedly claimed that it conducted extensive, peer reviewed studies on the safety of "food" from cloned animals, it turns out that the agency's assessment only referenced three peer-reviewed food safety studies, all of which focus only on the issue of milk from cloned cows (4). The most disturbing part of the lack of objective research on the part of the FDA is that the studies the Agency sited were funded in part by the very biotech firms that produce clones for profit (4). Not one of the studies focused on the safety of meat from cloned cows or pigs, or milk or meat from the offspring of cloned animals, and there was absolutely no data on milk or meat from cloned goats (4).Behavior like this is what we, as Americans, have come to expect from the FDA. What is supposed to be a consumer advocacy and safety watchdog, in actuality, is unethical and time and time again shows little real concern for the safety and well-being of the American public. The issue of unlabeled food products from cloned animals being introduced into the US market place is not only an issue of animal rights, but an issue of religious freedom, as those who oppose cloning for moral or religious reasons should have the right to know if the foods they choose to consume are from cloned animals. This is also an issue of economic stability as the decision to allow foods from cloned animals and their offspring into the market could very well create issues in the global marketplace. And then, there is the issue of the safety of foods from cloned animals, which we are still unsure of due to the FDA's lack of genuine and long-term research.What can you do about this issue? Well, if you like the political route, you can contact your legislators and tell them that you do not support allowing meat and dairy from cloned animals or their offspring to be sold as food. Or demand that food from cloned animals be labeled as such. I believe that the best and most vital way to make your voice heard every single day is to vote with your dollar. By choosing to avoid purchasing and consuming animal products, you are sending a message. Remember, those with the money make the decisions. If you don't support what they are doing, do not give them your money! By eating a plant-based diet, you can avoid unknowingly consuming "food" from cloned animals. I really don't have much else to say about this, except that cancerous, diseased, pus-filled, antibiotic-filled, hormone-filled, steroid-filled, and now cloned "food" is what you can expect to consume if you choose to eat animal products from a typical American factory farm.1.

Comparing Cloud Server VPS Benchmarks
Have you wondered with you are paying more for VPS or Cloud Server resources and your sites do not handle any more traffic and page loads have not improved? While configuration and choosing the right web server technologies matter, we are all still bound to physics when it comes to quality of resources, multi-tenancy on the hardware, how the hardware is taxed/over-provisioned, and how it affects performance. We performed a benchmark test at SpectroHost comparing entry level VPS/Cloud Servers from AWS Amazon EC2 as well as Linode to SpectroHost Fully Managed SSD Cloud Servers. We used phoronix benchmark testing to perform the tests.
And here are the basic results from these Phoronix benchmarks:
Server Resources:
1 CPU core
8 GB to 24 GB disk space
8 GB HDD Spectro Host magnetic RAID used for the test (sold with 25 GB), 9 GB AWS SSD standard, and 24 GB Linode SSD,
Please do test our performance VPS if any doubt.
Below are the results.
Intel Xeon E3-1270v3 @ 3.5 Ghz (1 Core)
Ubuntu 12.04
25 GB SSD Ext3
Higher is better:
Apache benchmark = 10217.19
RAMspeed SMP = 12948.09
RAMspeed SMP = 11704.23
PostMark = 2161.00
Lower is better:
C-Ray = 159.34
Intel Xeon E5-2670 @ 2.5 Ghz (1 Core)
Ubuntu 12.04
8 GB QEMU HDD Ext4
Higher is better:
Apache benchmark = 1789.97
RAMspeed SMP = 1192.98
RAMspeed SMP = 966.36
PostMark = 252.00
Lower is better:
C-Ray = 2223.16
Intel Xeon E5-2680v2 @ 2.80 Ghz (1 Core)
Ubuntu 12.04
Higher is better:
Apache benchmark = 3126.61
RAMspeed SMP = 10028.11
RAMspeed SMP = 8661.97
PostMark = 2043.00
Lower is better:
C-Ray = 234.04
Phoronix Test Suite was used to benchmark each server independently and with the same exact testing method.
Each server was tested with the closest possible match for hardware resources

Happy Friday loves:) TGIF is fully appreciated for me today. Man, after the week I've had? work and working-out? etc. Anyway, let's get on with it. Today I am still gallivanting my love for denim, specifically overalls. After all it is still summer, right? I wore this full length overall that I picked up in Target. I was really minding my own business in the home section, looking for mason jars actually, this caught my eye. Ugh! Target NEVER let me walk out without buying something. Talk about having a strong hold on me. Eh! What sold me was how soft the denim material was and, the cost (under $34) compared to hundreds for the high-end brands.
I decided to style it with this open back crop top. I wanted something that would flow along the cut of the back of the overall. An open back top definitely did the trick. Remember this post GINGHAM & SHORTALL, I wore a button-down with the shortall. I tied one my guy's shirt around my waist to give this look a street style vibe. Hope you like.
Have a great weekend and thank you for swinging by

reversed, use dovecot --exec-mail imap, not imap --exec-mail imap

|Line 92:
'''NOTE''': If you're using namespaces, the MAIL environment is ignored. You'll need to set NAMESPACE_1 (and maybe _2, _3, etc. for each namespace) instead.
Mail location
In configuration file the default mail location is set using mail_location setting. This setting used to be called default_mail_env in Dovecot versions earlier than 1.0.rc11.
By default mail_location is empty, which means that Dovecot attempts to locate automatically where your mails are. This is done by looking at ~/Maildir, /var/mail/username and ~/mail in that order. It's usually a good idea to explicitly specify where the mails are, even if the autodetection happens to work.
You can use several variables in mail_location. A full list of them is in [wiki:Variables Variables], but the most commonly used ones are:
%u: Full username.
%n: User part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain.
%d: Domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain.
%h: Home directory.
Typically with maildir it would be set to:
mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir
or with mbox:
mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
Use only absolute paths. Even if relative paths would appear to work, they might just as well break some day.
Index files
Index files are by default stored under the same directory as mails. With maildir they are stored in the actual maildirs, with mbox they are stored under .imap/ directory. You can change these by adding :INDEX=location to location string. For example:
mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=%h/indexes
Homeless users
Having a home directory for users is highly recommended. [wiki:LDA Deliver]'s Sieve plugin already uses the home directory, and it won't work without one. You could even make the home directory be the same as the mail directory, but this isn't necessarily a good idea, especially with mbox where the created files would show up as mailboxes. If your home and mail directories are the same, you could use:
mail_location = maildir:%h
If you really don't want to set a home directory, you can simply use something like:
mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
Per-user mail locations
It's possible to override mail_executable for specific users by making the [wiki:UserDatabase user database] return mail [wiki:UserDatabase/ExtraFields extra fields]. See your specific user database page for more information how to do this. Here are however a couple of examples:
user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, mail FROM users WHERE user = '%u'
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,mailLocation=mail
Mixing mbox and maildir
It's possible to use both mboxes and maildirs for the same user with namespaces. See [wiki:Namespaces Namespaces].
Having both mboxes and maildirs mixed within the same namespace isn't currently supported.
Custom mailbox location detection
Dovecot by default detects the mailboxes in this order:
- maildir: ~/Maildir
- mbox: ~/mail, and /var/mail/%u if it exists
- mbox: ~/Mail, and /var/mail/%u if it exists
If you need something else, you can override the mail_executable setting to run a script, which sets the MAIL environment properly. For example:
#/bin/sh if [ -f $HOME/.maildir ]; then export MAIL=maildir:$HOME/.maildir else export MAIL=mbox:$HOME/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/$USER fi # Finally execute the imap/pop3. If you use both, you'll need two scripts. exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap
NOTE: If you're using namespaces, the MAIL environment is ignored. You'll need to set NAMESPACE_1 (and maybe _2, _3, etc. for each namespace) instead.
Only /var/mail mboxes
With POP3 it's been traditional that users have their mails only in /var/mail directory. IMAP however supports having multiple mailboxes, so each user has to have a private directory where the mailboxes are stored. Dovecot also needs a directory for its indexes unless you disable them completely.
If you really want to use Dovecot as a plain POP3 server without index files, you can work around the problem of not having the per-user directory:
Set users' home directory to /tmp in userdb
Modify mail_location setting so that the mail root directory is also /tmp and append :INDEX=MEMORY to it. For example: mail_location = mbox:/tmp:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY
Make sure that the users don't have IMAP access, or they can start writing to /tmp and accidentally share mail with others users
Instead of /tmp directory you can use some other non-writable directory which could be safer.

Mossberg's Mailbox
Uninstalling Games to Increase Disk Space
Here are a few questions I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about increasing disk storage space, security software for Parallels, and Ooma availability.
I bought a Compaq Presario notebook that came with many games that I don't use. Can I increase the available memory by deleting all of the games?
You can increase the disk storage space that's available to you by deleting the games, which take up room on your hard disk. But that isn't the same as increasing "available memory." Memory is the capacity of the computer to manage data at any one moment, and it is governed by the random-access memory, or RAM, inside the machine. Unless any of the games, or some game-launching programs, are automatically loading into memory when your PC starts up, the games aren't wasting memory, just disk space. Getting rid of the games is still a good idea, but don't try to do so by simply deleting them, as you would a file. You should do it by properly uninstalling them using the Windows uninstaller control panel, which is called "Add or Remove Programs" in Windows XP, and "Programs and Features" in Windows Vista.
I plan to buy an Intel-based Mac. I will need to run some Windows software for school. If I use Parallels to run Windows and the Mac operating system simultaneously, and someone does happen to get me with a Windows virus, can that migrate over to the Macintosh side of my computer?
First of all, I can't stress enough that anyone running Windows, on any hardware — even an Apple computer — should obtain, install and run Windows security software, including antivirus and antispyware software. I do so, not only on my physical Windows computers, but on the virtual Windows computers that run on my Macs via Parallels. Even if you are using Apple's own Boot Camp solution for running Windows on a Mac, which doesn't allow the two operating systems to run simultaneously, you should be running security software on the Windows side. Such security software is primarily intended to protect the Windows environment on a Mac. It is unlikely that a Windows virus could migrate onto the part of the computer controlled by the Mac operating system, and even if it did, it couldn't run there if it was written strictly for use in Windows. It could run only in the faux Windows computer created by Parallels. However, the people who write malicious software are relentless and creative, and it's impossible to rule out anything they might try, or do. There is one danger to your Mac in this scenario. Parallels includes an optional feature that allows Windows, and Windows programs, to access folders and files on the Mac side of the machine. If you turn on this file-sharing feature, and if you get a virus whose purpose is to delete or corrupt files, it could attack these Mac files, because Windows has access to them. So, for maximum security, I'd advise that you leave this feature off. But, even if you do so, you should still obtain, install and use Windows security software for use when running Windows.
In your column last week about the Ooma device that gives you free domestic phone calls over the Internet, you mentioned that, until the product goes on sale in September, the company is giving away 1,500 free models, but only to people who have been given a special token by existing owners. Can I get one of your tokens?
Sorry, even if I had been sent enough tokens to fulfill the numerous requests I got, I couldn't fulfill them. I am sending my few tokens back to the company, along with the Ooma gear I was lent for my testing. For ethical reasons, I don't keep the products companies lend me for review, or take anything of value from them, including tokens entitling people to get a $399 product free of charge. Nor can I help the numerous other readers who asked me to get them on Ooma's free distribution list.

Authentication is a process in which the credentials provided are compared to those on file in the database of authorized users' information on a local operating system or within an authentication server. If the credentials match, the process is completed and the user is granted authorization for access.
We'll be creating a very basic authentication system that'll use Basic HTTP Authentication. This is the simplest possible way to enforce access control as it doesn't require cookies, sessions, or anything else. To use this, the client has to send the Authorization header along with every request it makes. The username and password are not encrypted, but are concatenated in a single string like the following.
This string is encoded with Base64, and the word Basic is put before this value. For example, if your username is Ayush and password India, then the string "Ayush:India" would be sent as encoded in the authorization header.
Authorization: Basic QXl1c2g6SW5kaWE=
To implement this in your koa app, you'll need the koa-basic-auth middleware. Install it using −
$ npm install --save koa-basic-auth
Now open your app.js file and enter the following code in it.
//This is what the authentication would be checked against var credentials = { name: 'Ayush', pass: 'India' } var koa = require('koa'); var auth = require('koa-basic-auth'); var _ = require('koa-router')(); var app = koa(); //Error handling middleware app.use(function *(next){ try { yield next; } catch (err) { if (401 == err.status) { this.status = 401; this.set('WWW-Authenticate', 'Basic'); this.body = 'You have no access here'; } else { throw err; } } }); // Set up authentication here as first middleware. // This returns an error if user is not authenticated. _.get('/protected', auth(credentials), function *(){ this.body = 'You have access to the protected area.'; yield next; }); // No authentication middleware present here. _.get('/unprotected', function*(next){ this.body = "Anyone can access this area"; yield next; }); app.use(_.routes()); app.listen(3000);
We have created an error handling middleware to handle all authentication related errors. Then, we have created 2 routes −
/protected − This route can only be accessed if the user sends the correct authentication header. For all others, it'll give an error.
/unprotected − This route can be accessed by anyone, with or without the authentication.
Now if you send a request to /protected without an authentication header or with the wrong credentials, you'll receive an error. For example,
$ curl https://localhost:3000/protected
You'll receive the response as −
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: Basic Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 28 Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:05:56 GMT Connection: keep-alive Please authenticate yourself
However, with the right credentials, you'll get the expected response. For example,
$ curl -H "Authorization: basic QXl1c2g6SW5kaWE=" https://localhost:3000/protected -i
You'll get the response as −
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 38 Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2016 19:07:33 GMT Connection: keep-alive You have access to the protected area.
The /unprotected route is still accessible to everyone.
