More aircraft aloft but fewer seats... blame the boom on Asia, where the desire to travel has given a new lease on life to the airline industry.
The menu at this traditional Bavarian restaurant was hard to read, even before the beers. It was all in Chinese. Paulaner's Bremen on the German North Sea coast has bowed to reality and begun communicating directly with their Chinese guests, at least through their menu.
The number of Chinese tourists visiting Europe is expected to multiply in the coming years as consumers in the Asian country acquire wealth and venture out into the world. According to the European Commission, the number of visa applications in China for travel to Europe surged to 1.03 million annually in 2011 – an 81 percent increase over 2008.
The sharp rise in spending by Chinese and other Asian travellers is fuelling an increase in aircraft orders in the West. "There are three mega markets right now – you've got Asia Pacific, the U.S. and Western Europe," John Leahy, Airbus COO-Customers told INSEAD Knowledge at the Berlin Air Show in September. "But in 20 years that is going to shift dramatically - about a third is going to be in Asia-Pacific, about 20 percent Europe, and only 20 percent in the United States. The biggest market is going to be out there in Asia-Pacific."
The World Tourism Organization reports international tourism generated a whopping US$1.2 trillion in 2011, with the steepest rate of growth in Southeast Asia. Oddly, the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2000, as well as the SARS epidemic and the 2008/9 financial crisis barely impacted the growth rate of international travel, which continues to grow nearly 5 percent each year. The growth of Asian travel also reflects the increase in global trade.
Airbus estimates that airlines in the Asia-Pacific region will take delivery of around 9,370 new aircraft over the next 20 years – a book value of 1.3 trillion dollars. The Brazilian regional jet maker, Embraer, says China alone will need 1005 new short-haul aircraft by 2031 to accommodate the increase in air travel. The sheer potential of the Asian market is an aircraft maker's dream.
Different market perceptions and different strategies
Airbus is locked in a head-to-head battle with the American Boeing Company for a greater share of the global aerospace market. The two manufacturers sell about 1000 single and double-isle jets each year and have a backlog of several thousand on order. Airbus is a subsidiary of EADS, the European Aeronautic and Defence Systems, and is betting that its new A380 double-decker aircraft, which can carry over 550 passengers, will fill a specific need in Europe. Leahy believes air traffic will continue to double every 15 years, exhausting the capacity of Western airports and flight control. "We can't keep increasing the number of flights," insists Leahy. "Flying on business, flying on pleasure, flying back and forth to see our families, that's going to be done from hub to hub, but those are getting congested today. The only way to do it is with bigger aircraft, more fuel-efficient aircraft, and quieter, more environmentally-friendly aircraft."
Boeing has a slightly different strategy. It has stretched its 747 jumbos and introduced a smaller aircraft - the Dreamliner - which can carry up to 290 passengers 15,750 km, or slightly more than the distance between London and Singapore. Boeing believes that travellers want non-stop flights to most destinations (the "point-to-point" theory, as opposed to "hub and spoke"). The Dreamliner brings "big-jet ranges to mid-size airplanes" and will consume 20 percent less fuel, Boeing boasts on its website.
Aircraft makers are under considerable pressure to increase fuel-efficiency to keep airline ticket prices lower. They're also under pressure to minimise CO2 emissions and reduce noise, especially in Europe. This has led to quieter, cleaner-burning engines and newer types of "bio" fuels. Many airports in heavily-populated areas, like Berlin-Tegel, are not permitted to operate overnight due to noise, a restriction that limits airline cargo business. "People are more annoyed worldwide, if you live in the vicinity of airports," Rolf Henke of the German Aerospace Center, the DLR, told INSEAD Knowledge in September. "If you want to have an increase in air traffic, then you have to solve the noise problem. And in the very end, we're looking for 24/7 aircraft – being in service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
China itself has been following the boom in domestic air travel with plans of its own. At present, its boldest efforts are actually on the ground, with moves to build 97 new civilian airports by 2020. In the air, the state-run Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China is developing a regional jet to compete with Airbus and Boeing and is seeking regulatory approval from Western aviation authorities for its Comac ARJ21. It has faced a number of production delays but hopes to deliver the first aircraft this year.
Despite the entry of the Chinese into the commercial aircraft market, Leahy doesn't view them as an immediate threat. "That's going to take at least 20 years. If you say 'am I worried about the Chinese being a major player,' I say 'yes, in 20 years.' If I'm worried in the next ten years, the answer is 'no,'" Leahy explains. "To become a major player like that in the market takes a lot of money, a lot of technology, and a lot of time. The Chinese have the money, and they have the time - the question is do they have the technology? I think they'll buy it over the years."
The Chinese are well underway to acquire the necessary technology to enter the long-haul market. The Aviation Industry Corporation of China entered a limited agreement with Airbus in 2008 to build the medium-range A320 in Tianjin. By August 2012, the Chinese plant had delivered its 100th Airbus jet.
At present, China doesn't appear willing to commit itself to the massive investments necessary to create an entire line of long-haul jets to give customers a bigger choice. Development of the double-decker A380 cost Airbus a reported US$10 billion . "It might cost you 10 billion euros to develop that airplane but then it's one airplane," says Leahy. "We have a family of single isles and so does Boeing. Then they'll have to stretch and shrink it to make a whole family."
So how long can Airbus and Boeing continue to dominate the industry for large jets? Over the next ten years the market is expected to consolidate as governments cut back on military spending. Rolf Henke of the DLR indicates the major Western players still have a strong technological advantage. In the near term, he says growing environmental concerns will fuel sales. "The specific demand in all of the developed countries in America, Europe and other parts of the world, will come from issues of noise, and of environment... This will drive future technologies and future development of aircraft."
Aircraft makers have a bright future, given the steady rise in traffic and the demands for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft. The future of the industry will change with the passengers on board. So too will the restaurant menus in destination countries.

On WWE stars appearing at this week's NXT taping: "Excited about this week while scheduled to head to Orlando mid week for the NXT tapings at Full Sail University on Thursday starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Full Sail box office there on campus. Kane and Cody Rhodes are scheduled to be a part of the evening. Every match on these tapings are vital for every, young talent performing. The energy level isinfectious and the atmosphere is unique for today's WWE."
On the most underrated color commentator he's worked with: "I'd say Terry Funk. He was funny as hell, understood every facet of the business, paid attention to the story being told in the ring, and was much more interested in getting the talent 'over' than himself. We had some great broadcasts together in WCW. Terry is rarely thought of as a broadcaster as his in ring skills were so extraordinary. The Funker was one of the absolute best in ring talents that I ever saw. It was an honor to work with him even if he was from Texas. "
On attending the Hall of Fame ceremony in Waterloo, Iowa this weekend: "Look forward to attending the annual HOF banquet in Waterloo Saturday night as it will be great to catch up with several old friends including JBL who is being honored. Let's hope that @JCLayfield doesn't make too many anti Oklahoma jokes with Dan Hodge and Jerry Brisco present. That would truly be a tall mountain to climb."

Green Occupation:
11-3051.04 - Biomass Power Plant Managers
Green occupations will likely change as a result of the green economy. Green economy activities and technologies are increasing the demand for occupations, shaping the work and worker requirements needed for occupational performance, or generating new and emerging occupations.
This is a Green New & Emerging occupation — the impact of green economy activities and technologies is sufficient to create the need for unique work and worker requirements, which results in the generation of new occupations.
Biomass power plant managers work in the following green economy sectors:
- Renewable Energy Generation — This sector covers activities related to developing and using energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. This sector also includes traditional, non-renewable sources of energy undergoing significant green technological changes (e.g., oil, coal, gas, and nuclear).
They perform these tasks important to the green economy:
- Adjust equipment controls to generate specified amounts of electrical power.
- Compile and record operational data on forms or in log books.
- Conduct field inspections of biomass plants, stations, or substations to ensure normal and safe operating conditions.
- Evaluate power production or demand trends to identify opportunities for improved operations.
- Inspect biomass gasification processes, equipment, and facilities for ways to maximize capacity and minimize operating costs.
- Manage parts and supply inventories for biomass plants.
- Monitor and operate communications systems, such as mobile radios.
- Monitor the operating status of biomass plants by observing control system parameters, distributed control systems, switchboard gauges, dials, or other indicators.
- Operate controls to start, stop, or regulate biomass-fueled generators, generator units, boilers, engines, or auxiliary systems.
- Plan and schedule plant activities, such as wood, waste, or refuse fuel deliveries, ash removal, and regular maintenance.
- Prepare and manage biomass plant budgets.
- Prepare reports on biomass plant operations, status, maintenance, and other information.
- Review biomass operations performance specifications to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Review logs, datasheets, or reports to ensure adequate production levels and safe production environments or to identify abnormalities with power production equipment or processes.
- Shut down and restart biomass power plants or equipment in emergency situations or for equipment maintenance, repairs, or replacements.
- Supervise biomass plant or substation operations, maintenance, repair, or testing activities.
- Supervise operations or maintenance employees in the production of power from biomass, such as wood, coal, paper sludge, or other waste or refuse.
- Test, maintain, or repair electrical power distribution machinery or equipment, using hand tools, power tools, and testing devices.

On June 13, 2016, Gordon & Rees Denver partner Laurie J. Rust and associate Surbhi Garg secured the voluntary dismissal of a wrongful termination case in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.
The plaintiff, a former manufacturing employee, alleged that his employment was terminated in violation of public policy after he filed for worker's compensation benefits. He filed claims of wrongful termination and retaliation in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 1981. He alleged that the company hires and takes advantage of undocumented and uneducated immigrants including, among other allegations, by failing to provide appropriate treatment for workplace injuries. The evidence showed that, following a fall from the loading dock, the employee was sent to an occupational health clinic and the employer followed all restrictions. Several months later, the employee requested extended leave to visit his family abroad. The request was denied, but the employee took the trip anyway. When he failed to report to work as scheduled, the employer terminated his employment.
Gordon & Rees attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, noting the lack of causal connection between the allegations and the termination. It also sought an award of attorneys' fees pursuant to a Colorado statutory provision that seeks to discourage frivolous litigation by allowing defendants to recover their fees on a successful motion to dismiss in any case involving state law tort claims.
Faced with the very real threat of losing on the motion to dismiss and an award of attorneys' fees, opposing counsel agreed to a walk-away and full release. The firm's client won without even having to file a reply brief!

A big hello and welcome to our newest member Victoria Cornwall. Once again we're the Not-So-Secret-Seven! We're delighted to welcome Victoria and can't wait to find out a bit more about her. Over to you Victoria.
Thank you for the lovely welcome. As it is New Year's Eve it is not surprising that my first blog post is about the day. New Year's Eve feels the same as any other day to me … until the sun goes down and the last hours of the year fade away with each chime of the clock. I often feel like I am standing on a precipice of something new and exciting, yet equally fearful that the coming year may not be all that I hope it will be. It is not unusual to have such thoughts in one's life and find ourselves reflecting, or looking to the future, with a quizzical smile on our face. I have found indulging in a glass or two of wine will often bring such musings to the fore.
So what is in store for us in 2017? Well, I know Novel Points of View will feature in my future a little more than it has done in the past, because I offered (or was I invited) to join the blog as a regular poster. It happened at a party, over a glass of wine and against a noisy backdrop. The exact details of the conversation are somewhat hazy (probably because I was on my second glass), but I saw an opportunity that seemed too good to ignore and my inner self (who is more extrovert than my outer self) screamed "do it". Perhaps now is a good time to introduce myself.
In 2016, I signed with Choc Lit, an independent publisher of
I think that is enough about me and my writing journey so far. 2017 is looming at my door with a sack of surprises for me. I know what I hope will happen in 2017, i.e. the release of my book, but for the most part the next phase of my journey through life is largely unknown to me, despite the plans I have made.
For all of us, the coming year will be littered with opportunities (which we should grasp with both hands), people (some of which might just become our new best friend) and good luck, (which we all deserve from time to time). I won't dwell on the bad things that might happen as I try to be a half full, positive type of gal. Anyway, there will always be the Novel Points of View blog to dip in and out of during the coming months to cheer me.
Happy New Year from us all at Novel Points of View!
What mixture of feelings do you feel at the start of a new year?

Thunderbolt and lightning: Messages from France for the UK General Election
30 April 2017
arc⁴ Director, Derek Long, highlights what the French Presidential Election can tell us about the result of our own June 8th contest
Le Pen's second place shows the limitations for the harder right
- Le Pen's second place does not presage a UKIP surge
- This has all happened before when the left was divided and Le Pen Père got through in 2002. He lost by a mere 83% to 17% to the revamped Gaulliste, Chirac.
- The worrying news for Labour's heartlands is that some of Le Pen's support comes from Trumpian post-industrial voters in the former metal bashing regions.
Mélenchon's stronger show suggests a ceiling for a harder left approach
- Mélenchon did get 19% of the poll – but …
- He still came comfortably behind an entirely discredited conservative, a far-right candidate and a Social Democrat/Liberal author of anti-trades union laws
- He has consolidated the old Communist Party vote (like Mitterand did for the Parti Socialiste (PS) in the 1970s) but, with a good campaign, the PS vote up for grabs, Le Pen on the rise and Capitalism going through a major crisis, he still came 4th…
Macron's rise has the whiff of an SDP insurgency, rather than a centrist realignment
- The Assemblée Nationale elections will give more of a clue whether this was faute de mieux and merely the prelude to US style gridlock (which the AN will win)
- Giscard d'Estaing broke the Gaullist monopoly in 1974 but was not re-elected
- So, as in 2010 – can anyone fake the authenticity needed to break through in the UK?
- And if En Marche doesn't succeed in France, it may retard UK moves for an anti-Conservative rapprochement for 2022
Be nice to sensible politicians – it's getting harder to form compromises out there
- We are back in the 1930s (as I have mentioned many times). The managerial centrist parties are losing share to the extremes – 40% voted extrêmes this time in France.
- The first five 'big' 'parties' share of the vote fell from 94% to 91% - so, even when they win, their mandates are a little less solid than before
- Mélenchon is consulting on abstention or ballot spoiling rather than support Macron
- Expect more votes in the UK for very fringe parties like "Get the coppers off the jury"
The voters are very off-piste about their choices
- Spoilt papers were up to 2.6% (a 32.8% proportionate increase !)
- Turnout was down 1.5% (a 2.1% proportionate fall)
- Despite the strong choices available, some voters are agreeing with Freddie Mercury that "Nothing really matters. Anyone can see."
- And the long range forecast for democracy is …
"Thunderbolt and lightning, Very, very frightening me"

No Rest for The Wicked
I am feeling rather fortunate to be working so much, to be actively involved with so many cool projects and surrounded by so much creative talent.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is coming out in June and it's been, once again, another great experience. I've been enjoying myself thoroughly in the ADR studio this past week and I have so much respect for Michael Bay and the amazing team that's putting this sequel together. There's not a lot I can say right now, but if you thought the first one was a wild ride…you'd better buckle up! Michael Bay has outdone himself this time and even Steven Spielberg said: "Awesome!" 'Nuff said!
Filming for the Blood Type teaser/trailer is completed and I have to say the terrific cast and crew made it possible to wrap with tons of amazing footage. Even London's fickle weather behaved. I'll be heading to Dublin in May to work on the editing and I'll definitely post some sneak peeks here when I have more to share. The vampire "universe" John Matthews and Wil Kinghan of Mythwood Films have created, really set's up a whole new psychological spin on the vampire mythos and I'm sure the project will pick up a strong gothic following. All you Vampire fans thirsting for more info, check back for news soon.
Many of you are asking me about The Pilgrim over at ComicMix.com – sorry we were on hold there for a bit, but we expect to have another episode up in May. Mike Grell is a popular fellow and you just can't rush genius, why would you want to? Speaking of Grelly, we'll be back at Comic-Con in San Diego in July – hope to see you there.
Clamoring for more Wuthering Heights Music? I'm also heading back into the studio with Robb Vallier to record more tracks and working on a framework for a screenplay progresses. Remember I said there are 18 songs total? It will be a little bit before the next one is available but please let me know how you're enjoying the first six. All six are on sale through iTunes and I am working on making them available on Amazon.com also. But seriously, how chilling is Ray Winstone's narration? He and I are teaming up again for an independent film later this year and it's one of the funniest scripts I've ever read…Really clever. More about that little flick later.
For all you awaiting news of The Wildwood Tarot, great news! Our publisher is presenting The Wildwood Tarot this week (as we speak) at the London Book Fair. The project is really coming together wonderfully and our illustrator, Will Worthington, continues to turn out amazingly beautiful art for the cards. I am confident that Greenwood Tarot devotees will love this new version.
As always, I am grateful you stopped by and I do love getting your emails and reading comments.
Now, it's back to work…Lots to do….

More from Blood Type - The Search
We started shooting the opening scenes with Hamilton (Emrys Matthews) and Sophie (Emily Berrington) in the alley and moved onto the fight scene with Galen (Ed Blagrove) and Hamilton in the stairwell.
It was pretty tight maneuvering around those spaces but Anthony Straeger's "Quid in Shrapnel" productions crew, Dennis Morgan (DOP) Chris Reading (Sound) and Sally Alcott (Makeup and blood-dripper extraordinaire), all performed like magic and with exceptional good humor and enthusiasm!
Special mention must go to Anthony; he offered sound shooting advice and kept the whole thing moving as 1st AD. Also to Dennis, for capturing the incredibly claustrophobic and creepy wartime atmosphere in the period underground alleys and stairwells with his amazing use of light, shadow and smoke. Thanks a million chaps!
Our second location was The Prebendal, Thame in Oxfordshire, an amazingly beautiful 12th Century estate and home of Robin and Dwina Gibb. Robin-John Gibb (Robin and Dwina's son) also plays the part of Belisar, lord of the vampire clans, and an amazing discovery as a new face on the screen! Without doubt a highly charismatic and poised young man, RJ took in my multi-layered direction and guidance with focus and professional skill and turned Belisar into a leading BLOOD TYPE protagonist with a mesmeric and chilling charm.
The grounds at the Prebendal are surreal and suited to represent an alternative universe where Earth is ruled by "royal" vampire clans, and humans are slaves, owned and controlled as a convenient and docile work and food source.
Sophie, played by the beautiful and talented Emily Berrington escapes this terrifying world and arrives in our reality during the London Blitz, running for her life and suffering from amnesia. A fugitive, carrying an unknown strain of blood, Sophie is helped by a young psychiatric doctor, played with compassion and intensity by Emrys Matthews, who discovers her unusual blood type and falls in love with her.
Galen, (Ed Blagrove) a ruthless vampire assassin sent to bring Sophie back at all costs, is dispatched by Sophie's master, Belisar (Robin-John Gibb), and the pursuit and clash of wills begins. This dramatic framework is unique, and a very colorful and darkly rich canvass on which to paint the conflicted brushstrokes symbolizing the drives and emotions churning within these characters.
This conflict results in the deadly sword-cane duel between Emrys and Ed, who threw themselves into the fight with gusto! Very well done chaps! It looked really exciting and dangerous indeed!
So! Thanks to John and Wil for their confidence, support and trust in me to handle their thrilling and complex material. Thanks also to the entire cast who brought it all to life!
And remember: "Lots to do. It's four o clock"...

We'll be moving into the world famous occult landmark: The Atlantis Bookstore in Museum Street in London for shooting tomorrow. I have to say it's very exciting and rather unique to be shooting an esoteric vampire thriller in a location so bathed in occult history. Everyone from Alistair Crowley, Dennis Wheatley, Austen Spare and Winston Churchill visited this classic bookstore in search of enlightenment over its very long and sometimes colorful history.We'll be shooting most of the WW2 scenes on the premises during the day tomorrow with Sophie (Emily Berrington) Hamilton (Emrys Matthews) and Galen (Ed Blagrove) and we'll move to Thame to shoot the "vampire world" stone circle scenes with Belisar (Robin-John Gibb) and sword-cane duel on Sunday.
It's nice to actually commence the shooting and directing phase after choreographing and training the actors for the fight and choosing authentic 40's outfits from Vintage Years Costume Hire in Leicester and sword canes from the unique and mind-blowing collection of weapons at film and TV armorers: Bapty's in Southhall, London. The schedule is tight, the concept is complex and dark. Great! I'll let you know how the first day goes…Mark

"Blood Type - The Search"
Written by John Matthews and Wil Kingham, BLOOD TYPE is a multidimensional new take on the ancient story of Vampires. Two very different Vampires form an unlikely alliance to hunt for a girl who holds a terrible secret in her blood. The show revolves around the struggles and conflicts of two alternative universes, one ruled by vampires where humans are feudal slaves, kept as a subjugated food-source, and our own reality, where vampires are only perceived as creatures of myth and legend, their real interaction with our world a well kept but deadly secret.
Starring Emily Berrington, Emrys Matthews, Edward Blagrove, Robin-John Gibb and narrated by Jason Connery I was very excited to be asked to direct the promo-trailer: BLOOD TYPE - THE SEARCH here on location in UK.
I'll also be choreographing a sword-cane duel between the two main protagonists who both search for "Sophie" (Emily Berrington) who's escape to our world triggers the struggle to control her destiny, as her blood contains a cure for the deadly epidemic now raging through the vampire world.
It's great to be working with John and Wil on BLOOD TYPE - THE SEARCH and many thanks go out to all who have supported the project including: Dwina Murphy-Gibb, The Atlantis Bookshop, Anthony Streger and of course Caitlin Matthews.
Shooting commences in London on April 11th at various locations in London, Oxford and Thame.
Love to all…

New Name = New Logo
Hi MarbleMad,very nice logo! Moreover I like much the concept of rebirth implied in the phoenix symbol... As dink already asked you: did you make it?
yes fast home photoshop creation this afternoon, possible to modify it to find for example the shape of the original F for a graphic reminder
Good logos usually fit in a square or circle. That phoenix almost does (except for his head that sticks out a bit too much). We could have 2 variants of the logo, a big one with text (like the ones shown here), and a smaller one that would be a square / round icon only (with just the "F" inside, like the old logo).
Anyway, v2 has a better font that is reminiscent of the old logo, but v1 was cleaner / less noisy.
Yes, the "F" in the V2 logo refers to the "old logo" style, but I prefer the uniformity (F and B use the same font) of V1 release.
my skin
I really like the colors and "FB" one this one. Not sure about the Neo part.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF DOGRI SANSTHA, JAMMU Dogri Sanstha, Jammu was established on Vasant Panchami day in 1944 and as such has completed sixty five years of its existence. It is the eldest and most active literary and cultural organisation of J&K State. Prior to establishment of Dogri Sanstha there was almost no written literature in Dogri except a few translations of religious scriptures. The Sanstha was set up with an express purpose of creating literature in Dogri and making people aware of their culture and heritage . It has achieved this goal to a great extent and has succeeded in initiating and spearheading a literary and cultural movement , which has resulted in creation of thousands of books in Dogri, inclusion of Dogri in school, college and university curriculum of the state, recognition of Dogri as an independent literary language by the Sahitya Akademi and ultimately the inclusion of Dogri in the 8th schedule of Indian Constitution . It is rightly said that history of development of Dogri literature is the history of Dogri Sanstha. During these sixty five years, Dogri Sanstha has created great awareness among the people of the country and the state in general, and the Dogri speaking people in particular, about their rich cultural heritage. It played an important role during 1947-48 in arousing the sentiments of the people against the Pakistani invasion by holding Kavi sammelans in different parts of Jammu region and by staging Drama Shows before large audiences. It also organised the first exhibition of Pahari Miniature Paintings at Tikri in 1948 and was instrumental in the setting up of Dogra Art Gallery presently in Jammu. Dogri Sanstha brought out its first publication in Dogri entitled "Jago Duggar " in 1949. Till date it has brought out more than hundred fifteen books, their number being second only to the books published by the J&K academy of Art, culture and Languages. It is bringing out a quarterly magazine "Nami Chetna" and till date, about 166 volumes have been published. It has also brought out special numbers of children's literature, women literature as well as novels, criticism etc. All this has been the result of the voluntary efforts of the writers, poets, play-wrights, artists etc. It has also organised nine All India Dogri Writers conferences, workshops on theatre, a large number of seminars and symposia, debates and declamation contests. It has also been organising Lok melas, wherein the rich folk cultural traditions of the Dogras are highlighted through the holding of exhibition of folk arts and crafts , and programmes of folk music and folk dances. The Sanstha also organises literary meets. It has also a programme, an evening with eminent Author, playwright, artists etc.. Dogri Sanstha started free coaching classes for the Shiromani Course and continued doing this for bout 25 years. At present Sanstha is conducting free coaching classes for IAS and KAS candidates for the Dogri subject . It was with the efforts of Dogri Sanstha that the Post Graduate Department in Dogri in Jammu university was started in the year 1983 . Sanstha also helps the needy students by providing them free books and guidance. Dogri Sanstha has got its own Bhavan known as Dogri Bhavan, which was constructed at a cost of Rs.5 lacs. Out of this , only a grant of Rs 90,000 was received from Govt. of India and the remaining amount was raised through public donations . Dogri Sanstha had been in the forefront in demanding the inclusion of Dogri in the VIIIth schedule of the Union Constitution, which was accepted by the Govt. of India on 22nd December , 2003. Dogri Sanstha has set up a library which has collection of all Dogri books published so far and also books about Dogra art, culture , language and literature.Sanstha has conducted many surveys for collecting data on buildings of heritage importance , folk-songs, folk-tales and on other cultural aspects.

Does it help that Oprah and Halle are fans of skin, a luxury line of soft, impossibly cozy lounge wear that is sold in top-of-the-line stores like Barneys and Neiman Marcus?
Well, not really. Because I wear skin myself. I have the Chantilly lace boy shorts in the picture below along with two other two tops and I am about to invest in some pants and a few more key pieces.
skin's creator Susan Beischel greeted me in this caftan (in white) in her midtown showroom and, as she guided me through her collection, she explained how skin can take you comfortably through your entire day without fanfare. You may be like me, constantly working on your computer, often at home, all day. Even at home, you may not want to feel and look like a schlep - especially if you end up going out in public before the day is out. And, if you do make it out, you may not want to go through the whole production of really getting dressed because it will take enough energy getting your hair and makeup together, right? Right! So, what if you were already sort of dressed?Individually or layered piece by piece, skin can take you anywhere from an impromptu dinner with friends to simply picking up your kids from school without the oh my goodness I only have five minutes what am I going to wear? stress. Beautifully.

"I ran all the way to the main gate, and then I waited a second till I got my breath. I have no wind, if you want to know the truth. I'm quite a heavy smoker, for one thing—that is, I used to be. They made me cut it out. Another thing, I grew six and a half inches last year. That's also how I practically got t.b. and came out here for all these goddam checkups and stuff. I'm pretty healthy though. (1.10)"
Check out those words "they" and "here." It's ambiguous, but we have an idea that "they" are some sort of professionals taking care of Holden, and "here" is some sort of institution or place that gives "checkups and stuff." Again, more hints that something went wrong with Holden. Clever, clever.Footnote:

Woman Suing Former New Mexico Parole Officer - The Associated Press
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against the state Corrections Department and a former probation officer accused of sexually assaulting a woman.
Gordon Chavez was sentenced this week to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty last September to a civil rights violation.
The ACLU's suit filed on behalf of a parolee who alleges that Chavez violated her constitutional rights.
It also claims the New Mexico Corrections Department was negligent for failing to provide adequate information and resources for probationers to report parole officer misconduct.
Corrections officials didn't directly respond to the lawsuit Thursday, saying misconduct won't be tolerated within their ranks.
Chavez was accused of groping the woman and asking her for naked photos of herself in November 2012.
DOE: No Health Risks For Exposed Nuclear Waste Dump Workers - The Associated Press
The U.S. Department of Energy says further testing shows employees who were exposed to radiation during a leak at the nation's only underground nuclear waste dump aren't likely to experience any health effects.
The agency and the contractor that operates the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad made the announcement Wednesday.
Initial testing indicated potential low-level exposure for 13 workers. Testing done on samples taken from the workers came back negative for plutonium and americium, the two radioactive isotopes detected in the preliminary tests.
Officials say the samples have been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for validation.
Testing is also underway on other employees who were at the repository after the radiation release.
DOE officials also say monitoring around the site has turned up no significant contamination.
Feds To Update Public On Accident At Nuclear Waste Dump - The Associated Press
The U.S. Department of Energy is planning a town hall to release more information on its efforts to recover from a radiation leak at the nation's only underground nuclear waste dump.
Residents from throughout the Carlsbad area are expected to attend Thursday's meeting.
Questions about what caused the leak at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, the extent of the contamination and the future of the federal government's national nuclear cleanup efforts have been swirling for weeks.
WIPP stopped taking shipments in early February when a truck hauling salt through the underground mine caught fire.
Nine days later, sensors alerted to a release of radiation. At least 13 workers were exposed, but officials have said there's no public health threat.
Watchdog groups have questioned whether officials are holding back information.
Governor Martinez: Tone Down Political Rhetoric - The Associated Press
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez is calling on political opponents to tone down harsh rhetoric and asking that critics of President Barack Obama respect his office despite political differences.
The Republican rising star and nation's only Latina governor made the remarks Wednesday during a conference call with reporters on GOP efforts to recruit more women and minority candidates.
Her comments come after the president of a prominent Latino advocacy group called Obama the "deporter in chief."
Janet Murguia, head of the National Council of La Raza, made that remark Tuesday during a speech denouncing the administration's deportation of nearly 2 million immigrants.
Martinez also said her own party needs to watch its tone and rhetoric when talking to minority voters.
NM Police Chief Kassetas: Curriculum To Be Released - The Associated Press
State Police Chief Pete Kassetas says the Department of Public Safety soon will release new state police training material critics say gives officers more leeway to use deadly force.
Kassetas told The Associated Press on Wednesday drafts of the material will be released next week. But he said a small portion will be redacted since it deals with sensitive tactical training and could put officers in danger if it is made public.
The draft of the new curriculum still needs approval from the Law Enforcement Academy Board.
American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico announced Tuesday it had filed an open records request to examine proposed changes to the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy curriculum. Academy director Jack Jones told the Santa Fe New Mexican last month that he'd rather burn the training materials than release them.
TV Series 'Manhattan' To Begin Production In NM - The Associated Press
A new television series set against the backdrop of the U.S. government's effort to develop the world's first atomic bomb will begin production in New Mexico later this month.
Gov. Susana Martinez announced the filming of the drama "Manhattan" at a news conference Wednesday. She says she's excited that the series will highlight New Mexico's history and its picturesque landscapes.
Martinez says the choice of the producers to work in New Mexico demonstrates that the state remains competitive in attracting movies and TV projects.
"Manhattan" will follow a group of scientists and their families as they attempt to navigate a world of secrets and lies. It's set to premiere on WGN America in July.
The drama is expected to employ about 200 local crew members and thousands of resident actors and background talent over the course of 13 episodes.
National Parks Visitors Spent $81M In New Mexico - The Associated Press
A new federal report says tourism at national parks in New Mexico generated about $81 million in visitor spending that benefited the state's economy.
The National Park Service's regional office in Denver said there were about 1.5 million visitors in 2012 to the 13 national parks in New Mexico, which range from Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Chaco Culture National Historic Park to White Sands National Monument.
The report said spending by visitors supported about 1,100 jobs in the state, including at restaurants, convenience stores and motels.
Economists for the U.S. Geological Survey prepared the report for the Park Service.
Park Service officials said there were 283 million visitors to national parks across the country and they spent nearly $15 million in communities within 60 miles of a park.

|"Drinks before dinner? Wait 'til Carson catches you," says Lady Mary
This year, a babysitting snafu led to my not being able to attend the Downton Abbey sneak preview night at the beautiful Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento. I had the tickets in hand! Sadness...woe...I felt much like Sybil did when she was forbidden to attend suffrage rallies...
But good cheer came when my friend Jeannine, who attended with her mom, gave me a little gift the next day. Downton label French Bordeaux! So cool of her! I can't wait to crack it open. And also, the funny cocktail napkins. Thank you, Jeannine dear.
I had passed my tickets back to the Crest so hopefully someone on the waiting list got in. Here's where I blogged the first year I attended, in 2013, with costume contest and trivia and fun hoopla. In the meantime, I will await the official presentation on PBS. Thank you, KVIE, for a fantastic event although I didn't attend!

A virtual private network, or VPN, is a vital part of online privacy and security. In short, if you're not already running one alongside your usual security tools, you should be. VPNs are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, as well as Android and iOS.
But what if you're using a Raspberry Pi?
Most operating systems for the Pi are based on Linux; unfortunately, VPN providers don't offer dedicated Pi software. If you need to set up a VPN for your Pi, perhaps to avoid some region-blocking in Kodi, then you'll need to do some manual configuration.
We're going to look at how to set this up. The following steps will work with all Debian-based distros, such as Raspbian Jessie 5 Ways New Raspbian Jessie Makes Raspberry Pi Even Easier to Use Following the release of Debian Jessie in July, the Raspberry Pi community has been blessed with a new release of the Raspbian variant, based on the "parent" distro. Read More , and the Kodi distros (like OpenElec and OSMC).
Why Use a VPN?
There are many good reasons to use a VPN, all of which eventually come down to user privacy. In short, a VPN client encrypts data from your PC or mobile and sends it via a VPN server. From this anonymous point, your online activity is hidden.
How might this be useful? Well, if you're using your Raspberry Pi as a desktop computer Use Your Raspberry Pi Like a Desktop PC There are so many amazing things that you can do with a Raspberry Pi, from running your own space program to building a media centre. Although ostensibly intended as a compact computer that can be... Read More and you're based in a region where online censorship is rife, a VPN can help circumnavigate such restrictions. The same technology can help even if you just want to download software for your Pi while living under an oppressive regime.
For a Kodi media center, a VPN might circumvent region-blocking, censorship, or anything else blocking your access to media.
For instance, if you wanted to access BBC iPlayer from the U.S. (and if you're a traveling British citizen, there's no reason why you shouldn't), a VPN can help. By connecting to a VPN in the U.K., you'll be able to stream your favorite TV show (Doctor Who, perhaps). You should be confident that it is legal to enjoy your media center What Are Kodi Boxes and Is It Legal to Own One? In this article, not only do we explain what Kodi boxes are, but also offer you a definitive answer on their legality. Read More in the way you have planned, however.

Meanwhile, if you want more of a background on the encryption, security, and how a VPN works, check our VPN primer What Is The Definition Of A Virtual Private Network Virtual private networks are more important now than ever before. But do you know what they are? Here's what you need to know. Read More .
As noted, there are also other ways to use a VPN. You might like to run a VPN on your desktop computer, for instance, or set up some universal defense by setting up a VPN account on your router.
Either way, you should be using one.
How to Choose a VPN
If you're simply browsing the web and wish to do so in privacy, then a standard VPN (albeit one offering minimal logs) should be chosen.
However, if you wish to beat region blocking or use a streaming add-on in Kodi, then you need to find a VPN that will offers unlimited bandwidth for video streaming. It will also need to be peer-to-peer-friendly, as many add-ons use P2P networking for streaming content.
Just make sure you're using a VPN service that is trustworthy 5 Ways Your VPN Is Not as Private as You Think It Is Your VPN is not as secure or private as you think it is. We explain why you and your browsing history might not be anonymous after all. Read More .
Requirements for a VPN on the Raspberry Pi
To use a VPN on a Raspberry Pi, you will need the following things:
- Raspberry Pi 2 or later. Earlier models will struggle with the encryption.
- VPN account that supports OpenVPN. Our favorite is ExpressVPN, but others are available

- SSH software on your PC.
- Windows users should use PuTTY.
- Linux and Mac have SSH functionality natively via the terminal.
- SSH needs to be enabled on the Pi. One way is to hook it up to a monitor and change the default SSH setting in raspi-config. If you're not able to do this, insert the Pi's microSD card into your PC, browse to the boot directory, and create a blank text file called SSH (no file extension). After you've safely removed the disk, replace it into your Pi and boot up. SSH will then be enabled.
OpenVPN is an open-source VPN application that enables you to use the configurations provided by VPN services using OpenSSL for encryption. In short, you can set up a VPN on a Raspberry Pi without a dedicated app.
You have two options for setting up a VPN. The first is to install OpenVPN within Raspbian (or your chosen Raspberry Pi OS). Alternatively, you can set up a VPN within your preferred Kodi image Install Kodi to Turn Your Raspberry Pi Into a Home Media Center If you have a Raspberry Pi, you can turn it into a cheap but effective home media center just by installing Kodi.

Set Up a VPN on Your Raspberry Pi
With various images available for the Pi, this can get a little fiddly.
Fortunately, as long as you're using a Debian-based image, this solution will work. It doesn't matter whether you're using Kodi or not. This is a straightforward method for running a VPN on your Raspberry Pi regardless of operating system or disk image.
We've tried this out using the OSMC flavor of Kodi, which, like Raspbian, is based on Debian. However, it should also work on OpenElec.
Begin by connecting to your Raspberry Pi via SSH Setting Up Your Raspberry Pi For Headless Use With SSH The Raspberry Pi can accept SSH commands when connected to a local network (either by Ethernet or Wi-Fi), enabling you to easily set it up. The benefits of SSH go beyond upsetting the daily screening... Read More , using the correct credentials for your media center image, and installing openVPN:
sudo apt-get install openvpn
Once complete, issue the reboot command:
sudo reboot
When your Pi has restarted, you'll need to download the openVPN files from your VPN provider. The overwhelming majority of services offer support for openVPN.
The most expedient way to do this is download the files to your PC, extract them (they're typically ZIP files), and then send them to your Raspberry Pi via SFTP 5 Ways to Copy Data From a Raspberry Pi to a PC At some point you're going to want an easy way to get the data off the Pi's SD card and onto your PC's HDD. This can be tricky. Read More . Create a new folder for their destination, called openvpn-config. This should be within /home/.
Once these files are copied, use SSH to issue the run command:
sudo openvpn your_ovpn_configuration_file.ovpn
You'll be prompted for your VPN username and password, so enter these.
Within moments, the VPN connection should be established, and you'll be enjoying a fully private Raspberry Pi Kodi experience. You're ready to go region-free!
Note that if you're running Kodi on a different device or platform, you should be able to install a VPN via a dedicated add-on.
Disconnecting and Changing the VPN
Should you wish to disconnect the VPN, you'll need to hit Ctrl + C to end the session. To connect to a different server, simply repeat the earlier command, but with a different configuration file. Each connection will require a username and password.
If you're using the VPN with Kodi, you'll need to leave it running. As a result, it might be useful to set up an SSH or VNC connection via an app on your mobile device Setup VNC on Raspberry Pi to Remotely Control It with Any PC or Phone You can have a full Raspberry Pi desktop interface with ever connecting a monitor, keyboard or mouse. Now that the latest version of Raspbian includes RealVNC server, it's easier than ever. Read More and use this to monitor the VPN. Should the connection drop, for example, you'll need access to re-enable it.

Sunn0))) guitarist Stephen O'Malley teams with electronic noisenik and Mego label boss Peter "Pita" Rehberg to provide the score for Kindertotenlieder, a theatrical collaboration between French performance artist Gisele Vienne and American novelist Dennis Cooper that will debut in March.
KTL are Sunn0))) guitarist Stephen O'Malley and electronic noisenik/Mego label boss Peter "Pita" Rehberg, and the duo's moniker is an abbreviation of Kindertotenlieder, a theatrical collaboration between French performance artist Gisele Vienne and American novelist Dennis Cooper. O'Malley and Rehberg were asked to score the piece, whose title (which translates as "Songs on the Death of Children") has a long artistic history. It first emerged as a 425-poem opus written by German poet Freidrich Rückert in 1834 after two of his children died within a few weeks. Later, at the turn of the century, five of those poems were set to an orchestral song cycle by Gustav Mahler.
It's unclear how Vienne and Cooper's performance (set to debut in March of 2007) relates to these works, or whether the music on this album will be involved at all-- according to Mego, this is not the final soundtrack, but rather "a separate project"-- but if any of KTL's music is used, Kindertotenlieder should be one dark, scary piece of theater. These six tracks lean heavily toward the O'Malley side of KTL's aural spectrum, filled with blackened drones, quaking low end, and elongated sub-metal riffs. Rehberg's contribution is by no means negligible, but he bends his electronic washes and distorted noise to fit O'Malley's unwavering dirges. Fans of each artist will find a lot to drown in here, but KTL is more likely to strike an eternal chord with the Sunn0))) and Southern Lord crowds than with followers of Pita and his Mego cohorts.
Regardless of preference, any listener will be tested by KTL's opening cut, a 25-minute marathon of barren ambience aptly titled "Estranged". Over a distant rumble, the duo adds a few hesitant sounds: slow guitar chords, small slices of noise, and not much else. Those accents, however, are so sparse that it feels as if both men could have left the room during portions of their recording. The track's modicum of hypnotic chill could benefit from theatric visuals, but on record, "Estranged" would have worked better as an epilogue (and kind of does, as the shorter album-closing reprise "Snow").
Despite that slow beginning, the guts of KTL-- four tracks all titled "Forest Floor"-- are worth waiting for. Here, O'Malley and Rehberg's individual approaches mesh into a third distinct sound. The overlap between the former's glacial doom and the latter's busy noise gradually increases as each track thickens and expands. "Forest Floor 1" collects harrowing screeches like horror-film sound effects isolated into abstraction. On "Forest Floor 2", Rehberg doles out cutting jolts that sound like a laptop take on a Wolf Eyes fist-pumper, while "Forest Floor 3" strikes a spot-on median between two artistic forces, as O'Malley's massive tones are lapped by the crackling flames of Rehberg's abrasions.
The "Forest Floor" suite makes KTL a success, qualified only by "Estranged", and by the hope that the duo continues to work together on future projects. The theatrical work that KTL formed to score certainly seems intriguing, but even more enticing is the possibility that O'Malley and Rehberg might improve upon this fertile first meeting.

Six weeks before Wimbledon, American Jack Sock asked Canada's Vasek Pospisil if he wanted to team up for the doubles tournament. The two young tennis players did not know each other well but Pospisil said yes, even as he told Sock he probably wouldn't be in shape to play because of a wonky back.
By the tournament, however, Pospisil felt strong, good to go. The partnership, however, was raw, brand new. In fact, the first time Pospisil and Sock hit balls together was to warm up for their first Wimbledon match as partners. Six matches later, the last points they played on the grass of the All England Club in southwest London came in the championship game against the best doubles team of all time – the Bryans, Bob and Mike, winners of 15 Grand Slam finals. But as we now know, Pospisil and Sock defeated the Bryans in that extraordinary five-set battle, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.
Amid the celebration of the rise of Canadian tennis – Eugenie Bouchard getting to the Wimbledon women's singles final and Milos Raonic reaching the men's semi-finals – the unlikely story of Pospisil and Sock received only fractional attention. Doubles is usually a footnote in pro tennis, receiving scant attention even as it is the favoured game for many recreational players.
But it has long been the source of Canadian court success – the amazing and ageless Daniel Nestor of Toronto has won eight men's Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal in men's doubles, and now 24-year-old Pospisil, who grew up in British Columbia, has announced himself.
Nestor, 41, had for years been an inspiration to Pospisil, and more recently a mentor, friend and playing partner. The two combined for an incredible five-set Davis Cup doubles victory last year in Vancouver, when Canada triumphed over Italy in part because of Nestor and Pospisil, whose final set required an astounding 28 games – 15-13 – to win.
Pospisil has faced the Bryans once before in doubles, at last year's U.S. Open, playing with Nestor and losing two sets to one in the round of 16. Nestor has since rekindled his winning ways this year, reunited with long-time partner Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia. But at Wimbledon the two lost in the quarterfinals. It left Pospisil to carry the red-and-white flag on the Wimbledon grass.
Between Pospisil and the 21-year-old Nebraskan Sock, there was instant chemistry, unquantifiable sporting magic that can randomly bloom, and it carried the unseeded duo through some of the best teams in the draw at Wimbledon. After the win over the Bryans, Pospisil joked about their strategy: "Close your eyes and hope you have the game of your life."
On Tuesday, back home in Florida, Pospisil reflected on the title, a major win in a year during which little has gone right – he's suffered a long string of losses while struggling with an injured back. At Wimbledon, he said, he rediscovered the joy of playing tennis.
"We had a lot of fun on the court," said Pospisil on a conference call with reporters. "From the very first round, we were just laughing and enjoying ourselves and trying not to taking it too seriously, but at the same time wanting to win."
The Bryans saw it too. "The honeymoon period is sometimes, you know, tough to stop," said Bob Bryan after losing. His brother Mike added: "They've never lost a match together. That's just the force of momentum. They have smiles on their faces. They're playing happy."
Pospisil's difficult first half of 2014 came after a strong 2013, when he shot up the singles rankings with play that included a semifinal appearance at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. He reached No. 25 in January, and has since slid to No. 33 – which is where he now also ranks in doubles, well above his No. 89 ranking at the start of the year.
A doubles victory at Wimbledon has reinvigorated his game, and Pospisil will continue to play this year with Sock, with a shot at the year-end championships, but it's not his priority. "The focus is still strongly on singles," said Pospisil.
Still, even if it is all about singles, playing doubles helps. At the start of the year, Pospisil and his coach decided to put some additional focus on doubles, where Pospisil could work on play at the net, and on generally aggressive play – something he wanted to bolster in his singles game. As the tennis calendar turns toward North American events, Pospisil hopes doubles success will help revive his singles record.

Mathare United have completed the acquisition of keeper Robert Mboya from Kariobangi Sharks on a three-year-deal.
Mboya returns for a second stint with the club having left for Sharks just a year ago where he played second fiddle to John Oyemba for a better part of last season.
He will now fight for a place in goal with first choice keeper Wycliffe Kasaya and the young Job Ochieng', who was promoted from the youth team. He also fills the spot left by Mark Kioko who recently left the club on mutual consent.
Mboya becomes the eighth player to join Mathare this transfer window after Francis Omondi, Gilbert Osonga, Klinsmann Omulanga, Clifford Alwanga, Mike Simiyu and Johnstone Omurwa.
Mathare are on a restructuring phase in a bid to improve their performance in 2017 where they staged a late revival to evade relegation and finished 13th on the table standings.
They kick off their 2018 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) campaign against newly promoted Vihiga United this weekend.

Start demoing application security today!
A live demo always beats a slide-only presentation. With OWASP 1-Liner you can demo what application security is about, both in terms of attacks and countermeasures.
OWASP 1-Liner is a deliberately vulnerable Java and JavaScript-based chat application. You install and run 1-Liner locally and it runs in two versions simultaneously – vulnerable and securish. The vulnerable version is intended for attack demos and the securish version is intended for demoing countermeasures.
Demos currently supported include XSS (with BeEF), CSRF against RESTful services, clickjacking, double submit anti-CSRF bypass, and multi-step CSRF.
Choose Path
Vulnerable Version
Securish Version
Cross-Site Scripting
How To Download and Install
Full instructions and source code is available on GitHub.
OWASP 1-Liner is a Gradle application written in Java and JavaScript. You download the source, build, and deploy on your own machine. The intention is to allow for live coding and patching. The suggested IDE is Jetbrains' IntelliJ.
Don't hesitate to send a pull request via GitHub if you have a patch or have added a new countermeasure or attack.
How To Use OWASP 1-Liner
You typically run demos by opening OWASP 1-Liner in two different browsers and set different users for them. That allows you to chat between the browsers, and of course attempt attacks between them.
OWASP 1-Liner is deployed on your own machine. This is the quickest way to get going:
- Clone https://github.com/johnwilander/owasp-1-liner using Git
- Enter '127.0.0.1 local.1-liner.org' and '127.0.0.1 attackr.se' in your hosts file
- Make sure you have Gradle installed
- Go to the root folder of your cloned OWASP 1-Liner in a shell
- Execute 'gradle jettyRun'
- Surf to https://local.1-liner.org:8444
- Check out OWASP_1-Liner_Demos.txt for demo inspiration (it's in the source root folder)
Get Involved – Help Wanted!
Application security is evolving and OWASP 1-Liner needs constant attention to be fresh and relevant. Your help is most welcome!
Some of the things you can do for this project:
- Debug the demo spec in OWASP_1-Liner_Demos.txt
Does the demo documentation work? What needs to be clarified?
- Debug the app in Internet Explorer 9 and 10
1-Liner has been developed on a Mac and there seems to be problems running it in IE.
- Build a proper login
Right now login is faked via the admin page. But we'll need proper login to be able to demo all the important things around authentication (attacks and countermeasures).
- Build proper session handling
Right not session handling is faked. Both vulnerable and securish session handling is needed.
- Add a DOM-based XSS attack demo
Since 1-Liner is a frontend heavy app it's a perfect victim for DOM-based XSS. Feel free to add such vulnerabilities.
- Integrate OWASP ESAPI
It would be nice to have ESAPI in the securish version of the app.
- Get unit testing back on track
All the unit tests where thrown out under the influence of the Demo Gods. Stuff just broke too easily back when the app was built and deployed with Maven and Spring was used to drive the JUnit test cases. We should get something working with Gradle.
- Build a .Net backend
It should be fairly easy to build a .Net backend now that there's a Java app to use as specification.
- Build jQuery UI and Dojo frontends
The current frontend is built using Ext JS but we probably need jQuery and Dojo as alternatives to maximize the impact.
To get in contact just email the project's list firstname.lastname@example.com or the project leader email@example.com directly.

How to Make It
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into pieces, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add as much kale as will fit. Cook, tossing and adding more kale as there is room, until wilted but still bright green, 1 to 3 minutes.
Place the bread in a buttered 3-quart or 9-by- 13-inch baking dish and top with the cooked sausage and kale.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir in the cheese. Pour over the bread mixture; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to overnight.
Heat oven to 350° F. (If the strata is refrigerated overnight, remove from the refrigerator 40 minutes before baking.) Bake until golden brown and set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Hi guys, I hope you can help.
Simply put, I've been buying some 5mm LEDs to use in my radio control cars. Instead of buying ready made sets, I set out to get some of the brightest 5mm units I could find which has resulted in the likes of Cree C503D and Nichias.
I'm just a little confused when it comes to using an LED calculator to determine the correct resistor to use.
The only difficulty I'm facing is that the data sheets for these LEDs dont give set in stone figures. For example it might say "typical" voltage 3.2v but "maximum" voltage 4.0v. And then the current might say "maximum 30ma"
The question is, when I use an LED calculator that asks for the voltage and current, is it just a simple case of entering the both the maxium voltage and current to get the safest max brightness from the LED?
I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question!

Disney's newest princess captured hearts around the world this year, so what better way to pay homage to Moana than with a Hawaiian-themed Halloween costume?
2017 has been the year of the female superhero, and your little one can get in on the action, too! If you're pressed for time, you can probably find a Wonder Woman costume at a Halloween store, but those among us who tend to be craftier can easily make one at home.
You might have dressed up as a Troll for Halloween back in the day, but they're back in a big way for 2017. What's more, the costume works for kids big and small, so you can make your Troll costume a family affair!
Speaking of characters that have made a comeback in 2017, Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" stormed back onto the scene when Disney released their critically acclaimed, live-action version of the film earlier this year.
