Alabama Home Builders and Gadsden State Graduate 11 Carpentry Students
The Alabama Home Builders Foundation and the Gadsden State Community College carpentry department had 11 graduates from a six-week Basic Residential Carpentry Certificate Program on March 16. Gadsden State is the first post-secondary school the Alabama Home Builders Foundation has partnered with since the inception of the certificate program in 2002.
Gadsden State offered carpentry classes free to the public on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from Feb. 7 through March 16 on the Valley Street Campus. The class meetings provided classroom instruction, theory and hands-on time in the shop lab for three-hour class meetings each evening.
The graduation ceremony was held at the Valley Street Campus in the carpentry department with Artemis Moore, director of the Alabama Home Builders Foundation, and Taylor Burton, past state president of the Home Builders Association of Alabama, presenting the certificates.

Don't Pay the Hackers
Those who follow security news may have noticed a disturbing trend. Late last year, we learned that Uber paid attackers US$100,000 to keep under wraps their stealth of the personal information of 50 million Uber riders. More recently, we learned that Hancock Health paid approximately $55,000 in bitcoin to bring hospital systems back online.
While these headlines certainly are attention-grabbing, the payment of ransoms is potentially even more common than it might appear on the surface. We know, for example -- from watching the transactions occurring in the bitcoin wallet used as a payment repository for WannaCry -- that the attackers behind that event made about $140,000 in total from their attacks.
We've seen surveys, such as a 2016 survey from IBM that found that 70 percent of businesses impacted by ransomware paid the criminals.
We've seen articles in the trade press about organizations stockpiling cryptocurrency in the event of ransomware -- and, in some cases, explicit instructions from some in the security community about how to do so.
From this, a nascent trend is apparent: Organizations are paying attackers. They are paying them in high-dollar one-off transactions to keep quiet or recover from individual attacks -- and they are paying them in "low and slow" smaller amounts from multiple sources that add up in aggregate.
There are a few reasons why this is undesirable, both for the industry generally and for the organizations doing the paying. However, these downsides can be hard to see when the pressure is on to recover from a specific event.
It's human nature to want to pay and just have the problem go away (as someone might perceive it) -- but in this case, giving in to human nature may not be in the organization's long-term best interest.
With this in mind, it is important for practitioners to know the downsides to paying an attacker in this way, and what they can do now to steer the conversation the way they want it to go when faced with an actual attack scenario.
Why Not Just Pay It?
It is a natural reaction to be tempted to pay. It is, in fact, human nature. After all, consider that a ransomware event or breach can have dire ramifications in a few different ways (financial and otherwise).
For a hospital or health system, for example, accessing clinical applications can be a matter of literal life and death, as inability to access certain clinical systems or patient data can compromise patient care (and thereby potentially patient health and safety.)
Even when life or death isn't directly at stake, though, the idea that "if we just pay, the problem will just go away" can be compelling when weighed against months -- or in some cases, years -- of negative press coverage, heightened regulatory scrutiny, public breach disclosure, possible lawsuits, and dozens of other negative outcomes.
There are a few things you should consider, however, if you're thinking payment is the easy way out.
First, law enforcement agencies generally recommend against it. Their logic is sound, since there's no guarantee that the attacker will follow through, and you will set yourself up for future attacks. In other words, it's possible that after paying the attacker, you'll get nothing in return. Further, by paying the ransom, you'll make yourself known as a soft target -- one that is profitable to exploit -- so when the attackers go looking for a firm to target in their next campaign, chances are good you'll be at the top of the list.
Beyond these reasons, there are other potential long-term impacts associated with payment of a ransom or payment to hide attacker activity -- such as the potential negative marketing and bad press associated with the public learning about it.
Both Uber and Hancock (the examples cited above) have been covered in the press (in unflattering terms) based on such payments.
Likewise, there are many security-minded folks out there who likely will use public knowledge of payment to an attacker as part of their decision-making about the services they use (that is, they might look to your competitors if they feel you're not a responsible steward of their data). So, while it is human nature to find payment compelling (this is a main reason underlying attackers' methods), it is almost never the optimal path.
Closing the Door
Many practitioners will tell you to apply the "just say no" principle to the question of payment vs. nonpayment. This a bit shortsighted, however, and it doesn't account either for nuance or human nature.
Believe it or not, not paying -- or maybe better stated "closing the door on the possibility of payment" -- takes some planning.
For example, consider the hospital example cited earlier. If patients' lives are on the line because of inability to access a given system, is arguing that "nonpayment is the way to go" the responsible path? It isn't. Safety in that case (i.e., saving a life) trumps all else. In a situation like that, "just say no" is as ineffective as it is trite.
Instead, the most effective way to approach this is to do the planning, discussion and arguing now, so that you are prepared if an actual event should occur. The specifics of what you'll cover likely will vary from one organization to the next. At a minimum, though, they should cover two distinct areas.
First, you should prepare for the discussions about payment vs. non-payment. An effective way to defuse controversy in advance of an actual attack scenario is to conduct a table-top planning exercise that involves all the personnel (including management) that will participate during an actual event.
Invariably, in the course of tabletop planning or a dry run, someone will suggest payment; if they don't, deliberately introduce it. This lets you introduce the concept of payment vs. nonpayment, butt heads about it now (the discussion is often contentious), and come to a resolution about the response path prior to the actual event occurring.
Second, you should look for and plan around pressure points that might occur. For example, in the context of a hospital or health system, you might wish to bolster business continuity and resumption efforts now so that you won't be in the position where payment to an attacker is the only way to ensure patient safety. The point is, you'll want to think these areas through carefully now to head the issue off at the pass.
None of this is exactly rocket science. However, judging by the trends that we're seeing in the behavior of organizations paying attackers, these are useful questions and strategies for security pros to revisit with their teams and with their organizations

I came home and started making chocolate covered marshmallows on curly straws like Disney. Well, now I put marshmallows on anything that will hold them. Yesterday, I stuck three marshmallows on the end of a candy cane...dipped in chocolate...tossed on the sprinkles...spritzed with white chocolate! My kids "eyes" were so big while watching I thought they may "pop" right out!
When they harden, I will put clear "wrap" around the marshmallows and tie a bow right under the marshmallows. I leave the plastic on the "hook" of the candy cane so their hands don't get sticky. It's such a fun treat for any class party. Marshmallows, chocolate, sprinkles and candy canes...a true delight for any child!
P.S.S. Go check out this blog! She is having a unique and wonderful giveaway celebrating her 300th post! Her blog is a true "treasure"!

I've been busy writing. So, to clarify things a bit, I've written the next couple of posts on malting, mashing, all-grain brewing etc. There are photos and details of some of our work over the years into ancient ale/beer brewing technologies. I think you'll be interested in following some of the links to northern European farmhouse brewing traditions. You might also like the 'sweet barley cakes' that we made on a hot stone beside the fire. Perhaps this is something similar to bappir or 'beer bread'... The bread that we eat today is, of course, nothing like the beer bread that was made in the past. I agree with you that the use of so-called 'bread' in the brewing process is important, interesting and it must be considered. We have some ideas on that. We are working on it. Keep reading our blog for more on this later this year! with best regards, MerrynMerryn Dineleyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100523271379006780.post-12626991549225728692018-02-17T09:55:08.850+00:002018-02-17T09:55:08.850+00:00Hi Merryn, I regret having followed the lead of th...Hi Merryn, I regret having followed the lead of the inaccurate reporting in Uncorking the Past by referring to the use of dung in making the pottery rather than the kiln, and implying that it might affect the beer's flavor.

It's an old, absurd, silly news story that caused me some damage at the time. I also hope you haven't been talking about it in your lectures worldwide, or to other archaeologists and beer researchers over the past 15 years or so. I thought it had been sorted by those emails we exchanged, and by the news item in Archaeology. Another concern is that you referenced my thesis in your first book, Uncorking The Past, when referring to this story.

If anyone is interested in my research on malt and ale, the brewing process and the archaeological evidence for it you can read about it on Researchgate, where I've put my thesis and published papers. There's also a page on Academia, with a few more things. If access to these pages is a problem for anyone, please do get in touch and I can email copies to you.

Our correspondence about so called &q...Hello again! Our correspondence about so called "dung beer" occurred in 2001. Oddly enough, I came across the emails recently when I was going through some old papers.
I cannot believe that you still think I brewed with animal dung! I did not do this, never have, never will. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to refute this silly, scurrilous news story once again.

In the summer of 2000 I did a presentation on malting and brewing in the neolithic at a conference on Orkney. I had samples of bere barley, malted bere, wort and some home brewed ale made from bere malt and preserved with dried meadowsweet flowers for people to sample.

Another demonstration on that day was local potter, Andrew Appleby. He was using cow dung in his clamp firing. I did not use any of his pots.

Journalist Kath Gourlay wanted a fun news story and so, between them, Andrew and Kath made up this amusing anecdote about dung beer which is entirely untrue. Before I knew it, the story had appeared in several Sunday newspapers, such as The Times, The Observer and The Independent.

You wrote about it in your book, Uncorking The Past.

This silly news story did my personal and academic reputation no good at all. I worked for years to try and undo the damage. Here is a short piece in Archaeology; they tried to help me as much as they could to sort the matter and to explain what had really happened.

https://archive.archaeology.org/0111/newsbriefs/dungbeer.html

I shall look at the Ti beermaking story again. I have read it several times in your latest book, it would help to have an image of the tomb art that you and Sam discuss. Is this possible? Many thanks.

We don't use extracts or DME in our re-creations of ancient ales. We use crushed malted barley and herbs such as meadowsweet, bog myrtle or juniper. These are the only ingredients.

Of course, I remember you from Barcelona days, read your articles and BAR book, and corresponded about dung in Neolithic brewing.

I feel as if we're quibbling over terminology or American/Scottish usage. Perhaps, if you had said grain bill or grist, I would have understood better. Yes, I am familiar with modern malt extracts, and in fact, I will be speaking to our local homebrew community about that, both liquid and dry, tomorrow evening. I will be traveling to Dublin in May and questioning the Guinness brewers about the relative amounts of grain and malt in their brews.

As to the term "toasting," I wonder how you explain the firing installations shown in the earliest beermaking scenes in the world from the tomb of Ti (see pp. 102-105 of Ancient Brews, or the dark and other speciality beers of both Mesopotamia and Egypt?

It would be wonderful to visit Orkney. Many thanks for your kind invitation.

A grain drying or malt kiln is quite different. Warm air passes through the bed of grain so it is dried, as you say, by slow continuous heat.

Thanks for putting the link to your fjord fiesta post. That's a really good one!

The traditional farmhouse brewers of Northern Europe are using ancient malting and brewing techniques that certainly date back to the Vikings, if not earlier, to the Iron Age and maybe even the Bronze and Neolithic eras. Merryn Dineleyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100523271379006780.post-5783475225459329752018-02-14T11:10:01.644+00:002018-02-14T11:10:01.644+00:00Thanks for your comments Dr Pat. Do you remember, ...Thanks for your comments Dr Pat. Do you remember, we met at the Beer in Antiquity Conference in Barcelona, 2004? You gave the keynote speech. My paper was on the archaeological evidence for malting floors in the Ancient Near East and Levant, now published as 'the craft of the maltster' and available to download from my Researchgate page. A version was published in International Brewer and Distiller. As you know, my research interest is the prehistory and history of malting technologies.

I'm surprised that you think making beer from the grain is "a strange expression".

In the USA all-grain brewing was how the beer was traditionally made. Maltsters provided the malted grain. Prohibition put most breweries out of business. They turned to producing malt extract, ostensibly for the food industry, extolling its' virtue as a new health food. Some of the malt extract was hopped, which means that folk were using it for home brewed beer. After Prohibition, malt extract was the accepted way of making beer in the USA, both for home brewers and for the big industrial brewing companies. See:
https://www.kcet.org/food/from-beer-to-cookies-malt-syrup-through-the-years
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-some-breweries-survived-prohibition-180962754/

Making beers from the grain, ie using malted grain instead of malt extract and DME, is becoming popular again in the USA. The 21st Century craft maltsters are producing modern roasted malts to be used as adjuncts in the mash tun. Most of the malt they make is base malt, diastatic malt that provides the sugars in the mash tun. This is the sort of malt that has been made for thousands of years since the beginnings of grain cultivation and processing in the Fertile Crescent. Enzymes in the partially germinated grain become active again in the mash tun and convert all the grain starch into fermentable sugars. No need to add extra sugars, the brewer can get all the necessary fermentable sugars from the malt.

Base (diastatic) malt is dried slowly and carefully. It is not toasted. That would kill the enzymes.

Yes, I'm familiar with Hochdorf. There's no evidence for toasting the malt. A fire was lit at the end of the ditch. Wet partially germinated grain was laid on a framework. Warm air would have passed through it, thus drying the malt slowly and gently. On one occasion it caught fire, hence the survival of partially germinated carbonised grains. In Egypt and Mesopotamia the malt was dried in the sun, as described in the Hymn to Ninkasi. Again, no evidence for toasting the malt.

As I wrote in the post, using words like 'sprouted' and 'toasted' to describe malt in ancient times is incorrect, misleading and confusing.

By the way, we have also tried Zarnkow's overnight cold mashing of barley. It produced an unpleasant clear liquid with very little alcohol. I fail to see how this laboratory bench experiment can be translated into a large scale production of good, feast grade ale or beer.

Should you ever visit Orkney, I can show you the brewing sites. They date from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Viking, medieval up to the modern era. Merryn Dineleyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100523271379006780.post-46091443593799323922018-02-13T13:47:45.041+00:002018-02-13T13:47:45.041+00:00I agree with Merryn that using the word "toas...I agree with Merryn that using the word "toasted" gives entirely the wrong impression to the lay reader, making them think of sprouted barley grains being browned under a grill, and "roasted" is wrong too, since the heat used in drying malt is very far from "roasting", so for those reasons the words should not be used. "Dried by slow, continuous heat" is a much more accurate term. If you look at the stages of the malt here http://zythophile.co.uk/2017/10/06/fjord-fiesta-the-norwegian-farmhouse-ales-festival-2017/ as Reimund Geving demonstrates Norwegian-style home malting, you can see that after six hours the malt is definitely darker, but that's NOT toasting or roasting. Nor, I suggest, is the Hochdorf "malting trench" anything that could be called "toasting": whoever was operating that "maltings" would have had to have been continually raking the drying malt up and down the trench to ensure even drying. "Toasting" is to do with carbonation/caramelisation/maillard reactions, which isn't the primary purpose in drying malt: that's do produce a grain with low enough moisture levels that it can be (a) stored safely and (b) ground.Martyn Cornellhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100523271379006780.post-34128697052339459792018-02-09T17:06:11.118+00:002018-02-09T17:06:11.118+00:00Just for the record, I do not claim to be a modern...Just for the record, I do not claim to be a modern "homebrewer," although I have learned a great deal at the sides of Sam Calagione at Dogfish and many other craft brewers here and abroad when we have "re-created" ancient brews based on the available archaeological, chemical, botanical, and other evidence. I am currently working on a project with Martin Zarnkow, and have read widely in the modern beer literature. Still, my expertise lies primarily in the scientific evidence for ancient fermented beverages around the world. You can't do everything!

My book on Ancient Brews does not pretend to provide "fully" authentic recipes, since there is much we don't know. The "interpretations" there for the homebrewer, which Doug Griffith of Xtreme Brewing (and others) developed, are meant to play with the possibilities and stimulate more experimentation. If you read the book carefully, the argumentation for "authenticity" is laid out.

If you are familiar with the ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Celtic evidence, a case can be made for toasting malts in antiquity, e.g., see the article on Hochdorf beer by Hans-Peter Stika referred to in the bibliography and on pp. 151-52 in Ancient Brews. Of course, intensely fired dark malts came much later with the Industrial Revolution.

Hope that helps to explain how a passing comment on Beersmith should be understood (I have made beer "from the grain," a strange expression), and not deter the interested homebrewer from trying some of the interpretations of Ancient Ales in the book. By the way, I have tried the overnight cold mashing of barley, and it does produce about a 2-3% ABV and tastes reasonably good. I'm not so sure about that beverage having been made by ancient Mesopotamians, because the evidence is limited--perhaps, only at Tell Bazi.

Yes of course, roasted malt...Thanks for commenting. Yes of course, roasted malts can be used in conjunction with base malts. Usually around 10% of the grain bill.

I'm not sure what you mean by primitive malting - do you mean floor malting? That can be efficient.

The archaeological evidence for drying harvested grain and malt is the grain or corn dryer, which can dry grains slowly gently but not, as far as I know, produce roasted malts. Unless it burns down. Then it's carbonised and ruined. The design of a corn or grain dryer was to dry the malt slowly, lightly kiln it. The fire is not beneath the grain, the flue directs warm air that passes through the bed of malt.

I don't think that they roasted malts in antiquity. When you look at the history of floor malting it seems to be that roasted malts appeared in historic times, not in prehistory or antiquity. My point is that, in the archaeological and archaeobotanical literature, all that seems to be mentioned is roasted sprouted barley and that's not diastatic brown malt as I understand it. (merryn)Merryn Dineleyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100523271379006780.post-86201698948110783702018-02-01T21:28:12.187+00:002018-02-01T21:28:12.187+00:00I am not sure this statement is correct: "The...I am not sure this statement is correct: "They [specialty malts] do not provide fermentable sugars." It's true that roasting or toasting tends to destroy the enzymes necessary to convert starches to sugars, so a brewer couldn't mash these malts by themselves (they don't "self-convert"). But nothing is to prevent a brewer from using these malts as a source of fermentable sugars in conjunction with malts that still have sufficient enzymatic power to convert their starch.

I checked the malt analysis sheets for a number of toasted malts and confirmed that they contain significant "extract" (starches). Specifically I checked Briess "Victory" and "Special Roast" malts, and they contain 75% and 72% extract, respectively. (These are obviously just averages, but they are indicative.)

In reality, I would not expect primitive malting to yield nearly as uniform a product as modern malting does. Some kernels might get so hot that they can contribute no starches, others might simply lose their enzymes while retaining most of their extract potential (like the Briess malts I mentioned), and others might retain sufficient enzymes to convert the entire batch. This mix of malts may have been more desirable than pure "base malt" for any number of reasons, or it may simply have been infeasible or unduly expensive to make pure "base malt." For instance, to ensure that all the grains had become sufficiently dry, it might be necessary to "overshoot" on a portion of the grain, toasting it.

So in other words it seems possible to me that people roasted/toasted their malt in antiquity. Of course this doesn't prove that they did so, but I don't think it can be ruled out analytically.Jameshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Receiving Acquisition In Process items in order to avoid In Transit (Work Order at Circulation Desk)
- Article Type: General
- Product: Alma
How to avoid putting items In Transit when they are processed by Acquisitions (post-receiving, processing) Departments?
The solution is to enable the Circulation Desk to "Receive" items.
The steps are:
1. Navigate to: Configuration Menu > General Tab
2. Set "You are configuring" to: [your library]
3. Click: "Work Order Types"
4. Find the Acquisition Work Order, usually: "AcqWorkOrder"
5. Navigate to the: Fulfillment Configuration Menu
6. You are still on the Library level
7. Click: Circulation Desks
8. For the default circulation desk - Actions > Edit
9. Select the tab "Work Order Types"
10. Click: "Add work order"
11. Add the Acquisition Work Order
Additional Information
The Receiving operators will be connected to the Circulation Desk, instead of the Acquisition Desk.
This way, when the item is received, it is already considered "in place", and the transit is not needed.
Remember to be currently at the Default Circulation Desk when receiving.
At some stage, just change Roles for all operators so they no longer can "be currently at" the obsolete Department and add items there. At this point, all "In Process" items will need to be edited to reflect new processing department.

The Timeless Quick Word
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
The Bible will never be a living Book to us until we are convinced that God is articulate in His universe. To jump from a dead, impersonal world to a dogmatic Bible is too much for most people. They may admit that they should accept the Bible as the Word of God, and they may try to think of it as such, but they find it impossible to believe that the words there on the page are actually for them. A man may say, "These words are addressed to me," and yet in his heart not feel and know that they are. He is the victim of a divided psychology. He tries to think of God as mute everywhere else and vocal only in a book.
I believe that much of our religious unbelief is due to a wrong conception of and a wrong feeling for the Scriptures of Truth. A silent God suddenly began to speak in a book and when the book was finished lapsed back in to silence again forever. Now we read the book as the record of what God said when He was for a brief time in a speaking mood. With notions like that in our heads how can we believe? The facts are that God is not silent, has never been silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second Person of the Holy Trinity is called the Word. The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind for us put into our familiar human words.
I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking. The prophets habitually said, "Thus saith the Lord." They meant their hearers to understand that God's speaking is in the continuous present. We may use the past tense properly to indicate that at a certain time a certain word of God was spoken, but a word of God once spoken continues to be spoken, as a child once born continues to be alive, or a world once created continues to exist. And those are but imperfect illustrations, for children die and worlds burn out , but the Word of our God endureth forever.
If you would follow on to know the Lord, come at once to the open Bible expecting it to speak to you. Do not come with the notion that it is a thing which you may push around at your convenience. It is more than a thing, it is a voice, a word, the very Word of the living God.
– A. W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

|Barbarian lineout, inclose
A San Francisco penalty assessed for not entering the breakdown appropriately followed by a well-drilled boot to touch by talismanic Denver tallyman, Maximo de Achaval, and the Barbarians had the lineout toss inside ten meters of the Rhinos goal. Ball won and spun swiftly by scrumhalf Tim Hanify and fast hands by de Achaval to inside center Kyle Hitt saw the Barbarians 12 plow through a pair of would-be stops to touch down for de Achaval's conversion, and it was 7-nil homeboys in the 5th minute.
|de Achaval distributes
San Francisco got aboard via a penalty well struck by standoff Enosa from 15 meters just outside the right stick and 7-3 for Barbos at minute number 8.
Effective crashing in the inside channel by Barbarians blindside flanker, John Godinet, was setting up a good mix of stuff in the second phase just now with de Achaval pulling the strings masterfully.
The Denver #10 got three more for mine host on a sticksplitter in the 10th minute and it was 10-3 Barbarians.
The ensuing re-start was bobbled forward by Denver and from a Rhinos wonscrum inside the Barbarians ten meter line, half dozen pick-and-goes and first channel crashes earned the Rhinos a penalty, the subsequent kick for touch by Enosa pinned Denver closeby their own goal. The lineout won and a bit of a rolling, infield maul until hooker, Neil Barrett, spun from that maul to slice through two defenders and ground for Enosa's added deuce and everyone in the park had 10 just then.
A Barbos looker over the top to space ran through and out of goal so it became an SFGG scrum on halfway. That won, a couple of bangers to breakdown and a Denver infringement. Kick for touch by Enosa and a visitors lineout inside 30 meters of goal. Lineout won and speedy service to the backs by Rhinos scrumhalf Kadin Te Nana and breakdown five meters from goal; the scrum award to Rhinos. That won and spun for outside center Tevita Okusi's crash into space for a fast final ten meter sprint to try for Enosa's added two, and San Francisco had the 17-10 advantage closing in on the first twenty minutes of action.
Like two heavyweight fighters, each club was expressing and absorbing formidable effort, but no further scoring until San Francisco flyer, Travis Bensen, fought free to round the corner and streak to goal to touch down for Enosa's conversion and 24-10 for the travelers after 35 minutes. Mr. Enosa nailed one more penalty prior to referee Derek Summers' halftime signal; lads to lockers and 27-10 in favor San Francisco at break.
Barbarians unforced errors hurting their cause through the first forty, while Rhinos were keen for contact and arriving at the all-important breakdown in greater numbers during that interval.
Bit of fractivity by the XVs for a moment after re-start required a settling chat by Summers, then de Achaval struck a long range penalty and the significant figures became 27-13 for SFGG at 43'.
The Barbarians standoff got another sticksplitter to make the scoreline 27-16 at the 53rd minute.
San Francisco responded with a fast forty meter dash by inside center Tomasi Funaki through to space and tackle two meters from goal. Perfect following, fluid support from Bensen earned the wing the offload and the touch down; one couple more from Enosa in conversion and 34-16 to SFGG at minute 55.
Rhinos continued to point up with a try by their loosehead prop, Jacob Nelson, whose close support of ground-gaining inside center Mile Pulu had Nelson across for five converted-to-seven by Enosa and it was looking grim for the home team at 41-16 in the 66th minute.
Denver would score twice more on groundings by wing Jeremy Misailegalu at 71' and forwards replacement Daniel Bell in the 76th minute for a record of 41-26 to San Francisco Golden Gate Rhinos at Summers' last blast.

Yesterday, I had the joy and honor of doing something I love…a Soul Coaching® Card reading. In reflection, my feelings during the reading remind me of getting up early to watch a sunrise. You know that mystical and magic time before dawn? the expectancy? the wonder? the absolute faith that the sun will appear?
Facilitating a card reading is like watching a spectacular new day dawn. During a card reading I sit in faith…not a doubt in my mind that Spirit will speak through the cards…and I watch the unfolding of beauty…of grace…of knowing…of belonging…of Spirit. Every time I sit in awe and watch the sun rise on a client's face. Every time it just takes my breath away.

Secure Valuable Data with Optimum Encryption Key Management
Long gone are the days when, in terms of complexity, handling data seemed to be a piece of cake. The current technological scenario portrays a situation where enterprises are constantly trying to tackle numerous vulnerabilities by leveraging the most innovative, latest, streamlined and highly productive techniques available in the data security space. 'Encryption key' is a feature which is quite familiar to enterprises dealing with colossal amount of data. But, serving as an effective gateway, even a minor loophole in the encryption key may expose a company's business critical data to potential hackers. Although frequently updated and new forms of encryption methodologies are emerging on a large scale, assigning user specific access to the enterprise data always turns out to be strenuous process.
The following incident may help you understand the significance of encryption in data security:
Last year, MNH Platinum, a vehicle leasing company based in the UK was victim to a traumatizing event. It was a breach; effectively targeting the organization and making them victim of a virus which broke into their secured data and seemed unstoppable. The virus decrypted around 12,000 files in the enterprise network. Later, the criminals demanded a ransom of more than £3,000 for the company's files, failing which; they threatened to decrypt the files. Confused and unprepared at the peak of chaos, the company agreed to pay.
With an aim to avoid the aforementioned situation and to build a robust encryption management strategy, enterprises should consider a wide array of security protocols.
Selecting Appropriate Key Algorithms
Depending on the number of users accessing the confidential enterprise data, a company's team of experts should deploy an appropriate key algorithm. The two key algorithms include:
Symmetric Algorithms:
In cryptographic terms, symmetric key algorithms deal with the aspect of using the same keys for encrypting plaintext and decrypting the ciphertext. It offers optimum integrity and authentication services featuring the unique Message Authentication Codes (MACs). As a part of their standard strategy, MACs generally utilizes a cryptographic hash function or a symmetric key-encryption algorithm.
Asymmetric Algorithms:
Asymmetric algorithm includes public as well as private encryption keys. Organizations should make sure that the private key is assigned to a trustworthy person who can control and manage the entire encryption scenario. Acting as the supporting pillar of an encryption protocol, the algorithm effectively generates random numbers and manages digital signatures to achieve superior levels of encryption standards.
Implementing Strong Keys
To establish rigidity in an encryption strategy, enterprises should deploy strong passwords to safeguard their confidential data. A 256-bit encryption technique is ideal for most enterprises as a potential hacker will need 2256 different combinations to access the data.
Authentication Plays a Crucial Role
All encryption efforts made by the enterprises might fall apart in the absence of a well structured authentication protocol. A well defined key manager should be incorporated; which includes a complete list of the user profiles that are allowed to access and view the encrypted data. Administrative rights to manage these processes should always be granted to a person with superior authority.
Significance of Maintaining Logs and Conducting Regular Audits
Sensitive business information is always vulnerable to external breaches. By maintaining logs, it should be monitored and tracked on a regular basis to stage an extra level of protection. The logs should display vital information such as the specific data accessed by the users, their identity and the time of access.
Deleting and Re-generating Encryption Keys When Needed
Most organizations consider security breaches as inevitable. But, by implementing the right course of action at the right time, they can tackle breaches in an innovative as well as highly responsive manner. In case the IT administrators feel like the existing encryption keys have been compromised, deleting them and re-generating new keys immediately is always a wise decision.
Backup Maintenance
To stay on the safer side no matter what happens in an enterprise environment involving secured data, the task of maintaining backups on a daily basis should be on the top priority list.

New Law for New Drivers in 2007
The new law also requires at least 10 of those 40 hours to be night driving. Swafford said parents must take the law just as seriously as their teenage drivers.
"They've got to be out there, they've got to be in it," she said. "You've got to be interacting with them, pointing things out to them, preparing them for being out on their own."
The state Department of Motor Vehicles said more practice behind the wheel increases teens' chances of passing the driving test. Columbia Driving School owner Drew Scheneman agreed.
"Some people need more, some people need less, but in order to form [good] habits you need those high amount of hours," he explained. "I'm so glad they raised it from 20 to 40."
Missouri law also requires a parent, guardian or qualified instructor to supervise a teen who drives with a permit.

So, my hubbie and I went to see Inception this weekend, which was great, by the way. I highly recommend it. But, I digress. We went to see this movie on one of the hottest and most humid days of the summer. We, like many others, thought it would be a great idea to spend the afternoon in a cold, dark movie theater.
If you've ever gone to a matinee on the south side of Indy, you completely understand the reason that Indiana is one of the fattest states in the nation. I thoroughly enjoy the art of observation, and did not only notice the large size of the people in attendance, but also the ridiculously large size of the food and everything else, for that matter.
If you haven't been to see a movie in the theaters lately, let me bring out the evidence that proves that pretty much everything is large!
Evidence #1: Large ticket price for 2 adults to a matinee showing of a movie on the Imax. $32 total….yowzer!
Evidence #2: Hubbie and I decided to share a drink and a bottled water. I asked for a medium-sized drink, this seems reasonable to me, should be about 20 oz….wrong! What comes out is what I think might be a 32 oz, but I am not positive as it is difficult to hold with 1 hand, which in my book, constitutes a Large drink. And, the kind teenager behind the counter asked if I would like to make it an actual "large" for 25 cents more. Hmm, let me think, I am not sure that I brought enough gear to carry a keg of soda and I am pretty sure that you offer free refills? No? Oh, and did I mention the $4.25 price rape for a 32 oz drink?
Evidence #3: Most patrons at this particular matinee were over a BMI (body mass index) of at least 40. I am not saying that you can't be healthy if you are overweight. There are many that I know that aren't very healthy and they are underweight or average size. Just sayin' that most of the customers were large by most people's standards.
Evidence #4: A woman, and this is independent of her size, ordered a bucket of popcorn. For herself. You may wonder how I might know that? Well, everyone else in her party had their very own popcorn, although not a bucket.
Evidence #5: Did you know that you get to put your own butter on your popcorn now? Craziness…it comes out of a pump which I imagine has a hose connecting to a vat of liquefied fake-butter, which will from now on be referred to as "futter." The woman with the bucket of popcorn decided that she needed more futter on her popcorn, like there isn't enough in the plain popcorn that is popped in flavored oil. She put her bucket-o-corn under the futter dispenser and showered her popcorn with futter. Finally, after a minute, she stopped. Wait, she just need to shake it up, back for more futter. WOW! Wants some popcorn with your futter? Gag!
Evidence #6: Finally to the movie, and hopefully away from the food for giants to the Imax theater….largest screen evah, in Indiana anyway.
Evidence #7: And, the large-ness doesn't stop there. The seats are meant for kings, and big kings at that. And, despite the large seats, the arms of the seats can flip up so you can have even more room. I saw many of Evidence #3 have to use this option.

This is a fast, healthy, and very flavorful meal that you can probably make from things you have around the house-- I use broccoli and pea shoots here but any vegetable would work (peas, carrots, green beans, etc). If you don't have szechuan pepper, get some. It's amazing stuff-- peppery, tingly, and basically fantastic. It really changes the flavor of this dish. If I didn't have it, I'd probably put ginger in the sauce instead.
You'll need (serves 2, but doubles easily):
2 fillets of ocean perch or any other firm white fish
1/2lb fresh spelt pasta (we used Phoenix Pastificio's) or buckwheat/soba noodles
broccoli, cut into small florets
pea shoots
6 cloves garlic
4 scallions
1/4c soy sauce
2T mirin (rice cooking wine)
1T rice wine vinegar
sriracha, to taste
1t cracked szechuan pepper
Crush 4 cloves garlic. Slice scallions. Place in small bowl with soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, sriracha, and peppercorns.
Cook pasta until barely al dente. Drain and set aside.
Salt and pepper fish. Place in skillet with tight-fitting lid. Add 2T prepared sauce and 1/4c water. Cover and cook on low about 10 minutes, until fish flakes.
Steam broccoli in a large skillet; drain and set aside. Slice 2 cloves garlic. Add a little oil to the skillet and add pea shoots and garlic. Return broccoli to skillet with cooked pasta and prepared sauce. Cook until pea shoots wilt and noodles absorb sauce, about 2 minutes.
Remove fish from pan and reduce remaining sauce. Pour sauce over fish and serve with noodles.

Renowned dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker, Yvonne Rainer, a seminal member of the highly influential avant-garde Judson Dance Theater of the 1960s, and improvisational dance collective Grand Union of the 1970s, brings three works to Danspace Project this week. Performances will include a reconstruction of a Judson-era work, We Shall Run, (1963) and the premiere of her latest work, Assisted Living: Do You Have Any Money?
Trained as a dancer in New York at the Martha Graham Dance School and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Rainer began to choreograph her own work in 1960. Much like other choreographers of her era, she sought to blur the line separating dancers from non-dancers. Her performances were based on a series of mundane tasks and day-to-day gestures like walking, running, lifting, etc. Her work, and time at Judson, began the birth of a movement that proved to be a vital force in modern dance in the following decades.

Bearing Witness, Peter Williams Advances an Art History of Accountability
Although I have known Peter Williams for decades, and have written about his work in the past, we had never sat down and done a proper interview—it's been more of a 30-year-long conversation. Recently, however, I wanted to get down his thoughts on several of his latest bodies of work: urgent paintings that are at once timely and have art historical resonance. His inclusion in the November group exhibition As Carriers of Flesh, at David & Schweitzer, saw the artist confronting Whiteness and police brutality against black men and women in colorful canvases that unite history, biography, and allegory. There seems hardly a better moment to unpack Williams' unflinching confrontations with his subjects, his deep sense of political satire, and his optimism that paint can somehow make a difference and hold us all accountable.
Peter Williams, Sandra Bland, 2016
Bradley Rubenstein: When we talked last fall I thought we would discuss your work somewhat chronologically, but things have changed a lot since then, which seems to have impacted your work a great deal. Let's start with your new work.
Peter Williams: The new work has come as I've done my "research": from short blurbs on Facebook, knowledge of some of these events from the press, and books that I've read throughout the years. I am humbled by my lack of firsthand experience recently in the lives of black folks, except through the press. Life in Delaware is also humbling since I live in a Republican-lite environment. My Blackness affects how I live, but not how I survive. During the past three years the rise of anti-Obama hatred and the Alt-Right movement has begun to unfold in ways no one could have conceived, except for those we conceived as a radical Left—Dick Gregory, Farrakhan, Angela Davis, etc., to name but a few.
"The exposed hatred of people of color by the white community is stressing me out. The only forum I have is through my art."
The incarceration of millions of young black men and women in market-rate prisons as virtual slave labor; the killing by police of this same group of young people; the exposed hatred of people of color by the white community is stressing me out. The only forum I have is through my art and my voice, and neither seems to be reaching very many people. The recent work at David & Schweitzer has allowed me to put some of the more controversial images into play.
I had received, by accident, some large canvases because of a mistake in the order I got from the art supplier. I saw this as an opportunity to explore the deaths of several young people whose lives were soiled by press reports: Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin. Several of these paintings were shown. The exploitation by the police of the lives of these individuals, except Trayvon Martin, gave weight to my belief that we are in another period: a race war, pure and simply put.
I feel that people need to come to grips with what is really happening. The Left has been very passive in this regard. We need a resurgence of the Black Panthers to awaken the community. I also feel the need to try to evolve the work and confront my audience with my feelings. One painting is called Honey, and it's about the consumption and cannibalism of black folks by Whiteness. The more I research the more horrified I am of the realities we are going to face as Whiteness defines the future for us.
Peter Williams, Untitled, 2015
BR: The recent Guston show at Hauser & Wirth struck me as relevant too—important for Guston's handling of the subject matter, but, also, I think he created a form of painterly political satire. Guston found in Nixon a subject really worthy of the amount of work he did. I see something of that happening in your paintings, definitely with your show at Novella: Common & Proper Nouns: The N-Word (2015).
PW: In the Novella show I'm responding to the realities of having to inform and negotiate with my audience a platform that allows for the development of a character (or characters). It was the first time that my passion spilled out into a manifest character, the "N-Word." His creation has been years in the making and may reflect such influences as Richard Pryor and his comedy routine about this: "Up in the sky, it's a bird, a plane, a piece of coal, a crow, no it's SuperNigga."
Often, times like this are influenced by many things including comics. But this work is superseded by the recording of the deaths, which have become a common occurrence since the advent of camera phones. One has only to reflect upon Rodney King and the image of such brutal strength of the "state." Or the horror of a man being choked to death by the police as he pleads for his life. These are the vile tactics of the powerful overlooking the raw lack of humanity. I am moved, baby.

BR: I've known you now going on 30 years, so for me it's hard to pick from various periods in your painting to talk about in depth. You did some very great paintings while in Detroit, and I've written about the one at the DIA before...
PW: The painting at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Portrait of Christopher D. Fisher, Fourth Reich Skinhead, is from a body of works on perpetrators of hate crimes in the early 90s. Young black men had gone to the wrong side of the tracks and were beaten to death by marauding white youths, primarily in New York. The piece in the DIA is the largest of these works and an attempt to open up a discussion. It was originally hung in the Dutch galleries as part of an "interventions" show. It was meant to ask questions concerning the wealthy Dutch portraits and their relationship to the slave trade. In the middle of his forehead I wrote "race war," which was considered a bit controversial at the time. Now it just seems prescient.
About this time I started to also make paintings about black stereotypes—Mammy, Sambo, etc. It was not well received in Detroit. I was considered to be trespassing over a part of history most black folks preferred not to be reminded of. I kept exploring this idea and tried to take more responsibility for the ideas inherent in such subject matter by exploring the subtle racist imagery using animals such as ducks—they manifest as a stand-in for race with thick lips and bulging eyes—and cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse and Heckle and Jeckle, which were overtly manifested with racist stereotypes.
That lead me to the point where I really reformed my thoughts as a result of traveling abroad and seeing work manifested from its own history, in Europe—Paris, Berlin, and Madrid. Goya had a great impact on me. His horrors gave me permission to go where I needed to go.
"Goya's horrors gave me permission to go where I needed to go."
Peter Williams
BR: One thing that has held my continued attention with your work has been this need you have of connecting "art" and "reality," engaging with the world through your work. I just finished this new biography of Joan Didion. I have considered her work influential with regard to my own writing, but the strangest thing happened while reading about her: after 30 years of only paying attention to her work, I was finding out how anti-Semetic, racist, and self-obsessed she was. I had previously thought her style of writing, in her journalism, came from a place of political satire. Then I find out that, for example, when she wrote about the SLA and Patricia Hearst, she identified with Randolph Hearst.
I mention this because I do want to talk about your biography a bit, but I also want to ask you if you feel that it is important to know about the artist's life when looking at their work. I am pretty sure that my question falls somewhere in the artspeak category of "identity politics," but I am thinking that there is something else there too.
PW: I imagine that biography is an important asset for any critic, writer, or intellectual. The "unexamined life" is a constant thing that I am aware of. I have always felt my art was a cathartic relationship to myself. I could not as a child make sense of my family, nor the outside world. It seemed to defy any kind of logic that I could come up with. Because of the toxic relationship I had with them, I felt compelled to understand all the repercussions. In effect, I saw my relationship to the outer world as one of constant confrontation.
I seemed not to understand the simplest of mechanisms, whether it was how a clock or time worked or even why my family wanted me to be aware of certain things. That education excluded how to deal or engage Whiteness. They would leave off the idea of Whiteness and white power and would expect me to understand. I was never given answers to the questions I had and often felt their rebuke. As I engaged the larger world, it seemed that all of these rebukes were personal rather than polemical. But now I see them as related to race and class, neither of which anyone ever explained to me.
It was in the abstractions of my earliest work that two things seemed to manifest: one was a kind of interest in the originality of what I made, and the other, that people/family seemed to have ideas about what the work was about. That frightened me because I had not established in my own mind a sense of what those images meant. It seemed that people held judgments about me, good or bad. In my family if there was a judgment, it was bad because I was operating outside of a norm, and it was politically incorrect. But outside my family, whites (namely, Jewish people) seemed to be enthusiastic about what they saw.
Peter Williams
BR: In talking with other painters, I have often found that the strongest work comes from a place of pain—psychological, spiritual, or whatever.
"I drifted to representation out of fear and desire to control what people saw—as if I could make them see me as I saw myself."
PW: I often felt alienated from my community as I grew and identified with the Western tradition of image making, methods, and ideals. I was quite gifted as a young artist, and I was included in exhibitions beyond my family's understanding. I suspect they were proud but did not understand what it meant in relationship to me. I was hounded by the homosexual fear and idea that to be creative you were a "fag," which I didn't know about but scared me. My father thought I had communist leanings. (I suspect he was a marketplace capitalist.) I didn't play sports, and my brothers had a violent regard toward me. So there I was, out, and I didn't even know what that meant.
I certainly felt a kind of empathy for all these attributes, even though I had no idea what they meant. I noticed in the images I made that people would remark as if they knew me, yet I was still discovering what those things meant. Abstraction was a language I could not conceive of, yet at times operated in. So I drifted to representation out of fear and desire to control what people saw—as if I could make them see me as I saw myself, a simple yet complex human being. I didn't understand all these feelings; nevertheless I was becoming the outsider. I was lucky to go into therapy at the age of 15. I found out that the darkness in my mind and work came from my family and their friends, who responded to their own understanding of who I was. I rejected them all, of course, because I was a survivor at heart.
As my work evolved, so did my sense of self and empathy for the underdog. I have always taken them in my heart and believe that I must bear witness to the events and poverty of their lives.
Peter Williams, Untitled, 2015
"My vision is of the history of art being able to tell the appalling story of humankind and the evils it perpetuates."
BR: I like that—the painter as witness to their time. It is a fact that your work will outlast you, yet your voice will still be heard.
PW: It is not my voice I feel the need to exercise but the voice of many, who remain nameless. Day in and day out they deal with, encounter, engage the horror of our current crisis. We seem to forget that the history of this country is of violating the civil rights of the "Other," be they African-Americans, Mexicans, or indigenous people. There is no heaven, only the concept that Whiteness promotes controlling the natives, as they perceive us. The ideal of an afterlife is one of the great jokes played out through religion and Christian supremacy. We look for redemption for an act we never seem to escape, our "negritude" and/or "otherness." My vision is of the history of art being able to tell the appalling story of humankind and the evils it perpetuates. Every now and then we seem to need a war or cleansing to sort things out. Why? Because we are all fallible, and the weak unfortunately are on the front lines of that battle.
It's my hope that people of color wake up and take up the battle from a safer awareness of this struggle and not go into the night unarmed or unprepared. I know I'm suggesting a horror—and I imagine it will be—however, I don't know if it can be prevented. Maybe the West, Christians, white people, and the powerful will realize what a myth they live in. However, it would be a mistake to believe in such a possibility. We just elected a jackal, capable of unknown horrors. His demeanor is that of a sinner, the way he sits inward, self-aware of his demons. I can only imagine the kind of sickness he and his comrades are preparing for all of us.
Whiteness allows this horror to be played and must take responsibility—if only through my painting. Even worse, the planet is at stake, not just the survival of humankind, and that may take millions of years to repair, if at all. I can begin to see the links and the connections as one looks at the heart of evil deeds by evil men and women.

Practice No. 24
Prothro Practice Fields
Injury report
* Running back Damien Haskins (undisclosed) did not practice. He had his left quad/hamstring wrapped.
* Linebacker D.J. Alexander (hamstring) participated in individual drills and in some scout team work, but was held out of team periods.
* Cornerback Dashon Hunt (hamstring) did not practice. He ran and did other agility work with trainers on the side.
* Top offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo (foot) did not practice. Coach Mike Riley has ruled him out of the opener.
* Offensive lineman Will Hopkins (hand) did not practice and had his arm in a sling. He is expected to miss about four weeks.
* Fullback Tyler Anderson (leg) did not practice but worked alone on the side.
* Defensive end Luke Hollingsworth (shoulder) did not practice. He did work on the side and then had ice on his shoulder.
* Cornerback Naji Patrick (undisclosed) did not practice.
* Defensive tackle Brandon Bennett-Jackson (undisclosed) did nor practice.
Riley said backup quarterback contenders Brent VanderVeen and Luke Del Rio will likely continue to share second-team reps early next week, but that a more concrete pecking order will be set "pretty soon."
On a red-zone play during team period, Justin Strong reacted perfectly to step right in front of a Del Rio dump-off pass intended for fullback Ricky Ortiz. In a game, Strong would have have taken the ball all the way back for a pick-six.
Three observations (and a bonus)
1. Coaches were pretty vocal during this final fall camp practice. Brent Brennan got on Jordan Villamin for missing a block. Riley got on Kellen Clute for the same issue near the goal line. Fred Lauina got pulled out of the team period when he jumped early for a false start.
2. As the offensive line turns: Grant Bays, who had previously only lined up at center and guard, practiced with the first unit at right tackle, while Sean Harlow moved inside to guard. Dustin Stanton, who is coming off an ankle injury, was the second-team right tackle.
3. With Alexander still out of team periods, Jabral Johnson continued to line up at outside linebacker with the first unit but manned the middle spot--the position where he's projected to start in 2014--with the 2s.
4. The offensive and defensive lines circled up about midway through practice for a scaled-back version of the Oklahoma Drill. Players went against each other 1-on-1, with some using brute force and others using athletic moves to try to get past their man. It caused a lot of hoots and hollers from teammates.
"We're making continued progress, which is what we have to do the whole season, so that's been good. And then I think the next thing is I think we're as healthy as we've been in a while. So if we get back on Monday, we should have a pretty consistent group of guys -- receivers in particular, offensive linemen in particular, too." -- Riley on finishing fall camp
Coming up
With the Beavers off Sunday, our coverage will slow a bit over the next day or so. But we've got plenty of season-preview stories on tap for next week as we move closer to the opener.
