... this time to a distant galaxy. Or maybe just down the block to the Moon. The genre-surfing Seattle combo has once again (third time) licensed a Jim Flora illustration for a cover, their new 7" vinyl release Agendacide. The above element derives from the April 1963 cover of Computer Design magazine.
Previously the band's John Ewing licensed images for the Reptet's CDs Do This! and Chicken or Beef. This helps carry the Flora mid-20th album cover legacy into the 21st century, and we appreciate the torch-bearing efforts of Mr. Ewing and his cohorts. Their website is also adorned with details from other Flora works.

Thinking Caps – maths tuition for kids
Meet Michele & Julie
Thinking Caps for Kids has been created by Michele Yock and Julie Whitcombe. Both have been full-time primary school teachers and have taught in classrooms using the Numeracy Project. Julie worked for the Ministry of Education introducing the Numeracy Project to teachers across Auckland, which has given her an in-depth understanding of the Numeracy Project Frameworks.
Together, they have developed Thinking Caps for Kids Ltd to address the needs of children who would benefit from a boost in Maths.
They have carefully chosen experienced, well-liked teachers from their teaching careers to help them run
small groups. All of the tutors are well versed in the Numeracy Project and have a great ability to motivate children and create a positive learning experience.
Over their time helping children with their Maths, Thinking Caps has been approached by parents for Reading and Writing help and now have tutors helping children in these areas too. Thinking Caps have found tutors and liked-minded teachers who are skilled in this area and can support children's learning.
Study Buddy is the newest tutoring lessons to be offered; where older students are helping younger students with exam preparation or particular subject area. Once again, Thinking Caps have chosen a wonderful bunch of mature young adults who have the ability to help these younger students as they have "been there and done that!"

The photo on the left is what I looked like at the peak of my poor choices.
I exercised about 4 to 5 days per week, but I didnt get enough rest, drink enough water– and did not know a meat free diet would work better for my metabolism. I was constantly doing activities that built muscle, but did not burn fat. I was healthy– but not as healthy or fit as I could be. I needed to detox more and I wasn't aware of that either. I would detox once a year whereas now, it's a regular activity. I'm smaller now, but that's not the point. The point is a feel lighter, less weighed down by toxins, and much more in control of the destiny of my health.
Would you like to hear more about my journey? Let me know, and I can do another post or video. This year I'm working on being more transparent and sharing more of my personal life.

SPEEDLOADS Mnemonic for API Testing
In my work, I do a lot of API and Web Service testing. Most of the Web Services we create are brand new; we collaborate on what the service should do, what type of technologies are used, and the standard we will be using i.e RESTful.
I have found using Mnemonics helps when working through our Acceptance Criteria and Acceptance Tests. I have a blog dedicated to Mnemonics and the different mnemonics I use when testing. Mnemonic Blog
The mnemonics that are used for API testing that I could find on the internet, did not quite have everything I needed. So I decided to create my own mnemonic which covered a couple more important points I like to consider when creating, testing and discussing web services.
Without further ado, I give you my Mnemonic!
Security Testing: - Fuzzing, Invalid Input Attacks, Malicious Input, Injection Attacks, Cross-Site Scripting Attacks. What authorisations do you need to access the service?
Performance & Load Testing: - How much load can the service handle? What load should the service handle? What performance should the service handle?
EndPoints: - How are these endpoints reached? Is it a single endpoint or multiple endpoints? What values can be passed into each endpoint?
Error handling: - How does the service handle errors on the client and server side?
What error messages are displayed? Does the service handle being offline? Will it self-heal and restart? Does it have a retry strategy?
Documentation: - Is there documentation on how this service works?
Is the documentation easy to read? Does it cover everything the service does? Does it follow the correct guidelines? Does the service do what the documentation says it does?
Limits: - What limits are set for each endpoint, max and min? Is there any request limits set?
Order:- Are results returned dependent on a certain order i.e Ascending, Descending, Alphabetical?
Automation Checks: - Has the service got the appropriate limit of Unit, Integration and Acceptance Tests
Datetimes: - Does the date time returned need to be in a UTC format? Is there a specific date format that needs to be returned?
Status Codes: - Are the status codes returned appropriate HTTP status codes conform to the w3 standard? Can you confirm these statuses are returned? How?
You can get so much more out of mnemonics when you create your own to use in your day to day testing role.
Please feel free to critique, question or comment on my mnemonic.

Federal Veteran News
Veterans can now work directly with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to resolve debt collection issues resulting from inappropriate or delayed Choice Program billing, the VA has announced.
WASHINGTON – Veterans can now work directly with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to resolve debt collection issues resulting from inappropriate or delayed Choice Program billing. In step with MyVA's efforts to modernize VA's customer-focused, Veteran-centered services capabilities, a Community Care Call Center has been set up for Veterans experiencing adverse credit reporting or debt collection resulting from inappropriately billed Choice Program claims. Veterans experiencing these problems can call 1-877-881-7618 for assistance.
WASHINGTON -- The Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced its ongoing effort to ease the transition for service members who require complex care management as they transition from the DoD system of health care to VA or within each system. The effort is designed to ease the burden for service members and Veterans, who have suffered illnesses or injuries so severe as to require the expertise provided by multiple care specialties throughout both Departments.
Modification Enhances Veterans Access to Receive Timely, High-Quality Care
WASHINGTON –The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced the awarding of 21 contracts worth up to $22.3 billion for information technology infrastructure improvements, cyber security and operations and network management.
WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced new steps it is taking to reduce Veteran suicide.
WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced today it will extend the healthcare enrollment application period for one year to approximately 545,000 living Veterans that have pending incomplete enrollment applications.
Canandaigua, NY – Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson today announced improvements to enhance and accelerate progress at the Veterans Crisis Line, which serves as a life-saving resource for Veterans who find themselves at risk of suicide.
Congress has included billions of dollars of funding to the VA, earmarked to provide funding for a new treatment regiment for Hepatitis C, limiting side effects and increasing the likelihood of curing the disease in veterans. Vietnam era veterans are diagnosed Hepatitis C at over double the rate of civilians, showing a clear need for innovative and effective treatment.
This funding is a huge success for the treatment of these veterans and hope to improve the high numbers of veterans suffering from Hepatitis C.
On November 25, 2015, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2016 sunset the Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP). The REAP program was originally created to provide benefits to members of the Reserve components who were called or ordered to active service by the President or Congress in response to a war or declared national emergency.
REAP served to bridge the education benefit gap between those eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve and those serving in the Reserve component who were called to active duty but were not eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve. Long story short … the Post-9/11 GI Bill in many ways has replaced REAP because it has also closed this gap by providing eligibility for certain Reserve and National Guard members called to active duty. This will impact students right away.
VA Plans to Propose Expanded Disability Benefits Eligibility for Veterans Exposed to

In a bid to improve its reputation and brand image, Primark has launched a website to promote its ethical practices. The Panorama programme, aired on the BBC, alleged that the garments sold by Primark were made in sweatshops employing child labour in India. Primarklater announced that it had terminated contracts with suppliers shown in the programme and is since trying to build up confidence amongst its customers. In a time where consumers are cutting their spending, the last thing that Primark needs is bad reputation.

When the pall of darkness recedes from the firmament of the past unfolding the first pre-historic vision of Pakistan, we descry the imposing spectacle of a splendid Civilization spread over a thousand-mile length from the glistening snow-capped mountains of Kashmir to the glittering sand dunes facing the Arabian Sea. This was Indus Valley Civilization, one of whose distinguishing characteristics was its independent existence, completely detached from what is today known as India. This independent entity had its own government, its own culture, its own religion, its own history, its own art and architecture, rules and regulations. From this centre radiated great ideas and ideologies, techniques and trades, which enriched every aspect of human life. Taking this period as the starting point of our known past till our own times the land of Pakistan has invariably led an independent existence.
Another unique aspect of Indus Valley Civilization was that it embraced within its fold almost the entire country now known as Pakistan, with two important centres of culture and administration-one at Harappa on the bank of Ravi in Sahiwal District of the Punjab and another at Moenjo Daro on River Indus in the Larkana District of Sind. According to more recent discoveries other important centres and sizeable towns of Indus Valley Civilization were situated at Chanhu Daro in Nawabshah District, Judeiro-daro near Quetta and Shahi Tump in the Valley of the Kej (Mekran). Modern archaeological research has brought to light a large number of smaller centres spread over Baluchistan, Frontier and Kashmir. And at it's peak this Pakistani civilization stretched from parts of northwest India to southern Afghanistan. It's colonies have been found as far away as Turkmenistan in the north, Bahrain and southeast Iran in the west, near Bombay (India) in the south, and in western U.P.(India) in the east.
Thus, the very first pre-historic picture of Pakistan emerging before our eyes presents the twin aspects of (a) separate independent country, and (b) a common culture with a common government. I shall dilate a bit here on the uniformity in various fields of life that prevailed in Pakistan during the Indus Valley Civilization.
From time immemorial the world has known two different countries and cultures in the sub-continent; one based on the Indus and its five tributaries known as Sindhu and the other on the Ganges Valley known as Bharatvarta. "Herodotus did not reckon among the 'Indoi' any of the people then in occupation of the Indus basin…. In thus excluding from the limits of India proper the Punjab as well as Gadara, Herodotus was in agreement with the Sanskrit scriptures; and there is a piece of evidence which suggests that, without knowing it, he may have been following Vedic authority through a chain of intermediate informants." (A Study of History, Vol. III, By A.J. Toynbee). The Sindhu country with its Indus Valley Civilization – also known as Harappa culture – had its sway from Rupar on upper Sutlej to the lower reaches of the Indus on the Arabian Sea, a distance of about a thousand miles – almost the same territory now covered by Pakistan.
"About 2000 B.C. it would have been possible to travel from Sutkagen-dot near the shores of the Arabian Sea over 300 miles west of Karachi (in Baluchistan) to the village of Rupar near the foot of the Simla hills – a distance of 1000 miles and to see on all sides men living in various degrees the same mode of life, making the same kind of pots and tools and ornaments and possibly administered by the same government.
"It will be observed that this great stretch of country coincides very nearly with the present Pakistan, and for a significant reason: Pakistan, like the Indus Civilization, belongs essentially to the vast fertile valley of the Indus and its tributaries, sheltered by hills, sea and desert from its less favoured neighbours save where in the Punjab, the northern plains continuously fringe the foot-hills of the Himalayas. The Indus Civilization can thus be claimed in a real sense as a pre-historic prototype of Pakistan.
"Within this immense territory, archaeologists have found no fewer than thirty-seven town or village sites (tells) representing this civilization, and many more un-doubtedly await discovery." (Pakistan before the Aryans, By Sir Mortimer Wheeler).
The pattern of civilization in this country was so uniform that even the bricks were usually of the same size and shape from one end to the other. A very large number of weights all belonging to a uniform system have been found in the two capital cities as well as at Chanhu-daro and other smaller cities in Sind, at Mehi in Baluchistan and at Sutkagen-Dot in Makran. "The regular planning of the streets, the layout of cities and the common weights and measures suggest a single state covering the entire area." (The Wonder that was India, By A.L. Bhasham)
"At a certain period, diversity is replaced by uniformity over an area incomparably vaster than anything we have yet seen in pre-historic south Asia. A complete agreement in details of material culture is found over an area stretching from the Makran coast to Kathiawar and northwards to the Himalyan foothills, a huge irregular triangle with the sizes measuring 950 by 700 by 550 miles. From end to end of this territory, from some forty settlement-sites come pottery vessels of identical mass-produced types; houses are built of baked bricks of standard dimensions, stamp-seals are engraved with similar scenes, a uniform script which is yet unread prevails and a standard system of weights is recognizable. While some sites are villages, others are towns and 350 miles apart stand two cities (Harappa and Moenjo Daro) twin capitals of an empire. Under the jejune archaeological nomenclature of Harappa culture there lies concealed one of the greatest nameless kingdoms of Asia".(Pre-historic India, By Stuart Piggot)
"The overriding fact remains that they (Harappa in the Punjab and Moenjo Daro in Sind) are situated upon the same river system and are culturally identical. That identity extends throughout the immense territory of the Indus civilization from Kashmir to Karachi…. The Indus Civilization exemplifies the vastest political experiment before the advent of the Roman Empire……. Whatever the political implications, the cultural unity of the civilization is itself a sufficiently imposing phenomenon……" (Early India and Pakistan to Ashoka, By Sir Mortimer Wheeler)
One of the most interesting crops grown by the people of the Harappa culture was cotton, of which a fortunate single find at Moenjo Daro has given conclusive evidence. Extensive trade in cotton and cotton cloth is a strong possibility particularly with Mesopotamia where cotton was known as Sindhu and this word later passed into Greek as 'sindon'.
"As to the peculiar products of India it is interesting that Herodotus told the Greek world, perhaps for the first time, of the trees that bore wool, surpassing in beauty and in quality the wool of sheep; and the Indians wear clothing from these trees." (The Cambridge history of India, Vol. I, By E.J. Rapson)
The climate of major portion of Pakistan during the long period of this civilization was different from what it is today. The whole of Indus region was well-forested providing fuel to burn bricks; and Baluchistan, now almost a waterless desert, was rich in rivers. This region supported a sizeable agricultural population which lived in a large number of villages.
The archaeological evidence of continuous occupation of the city sites over centuries shows that continuity of government was somehow assured throughout the long period that its civilization lasted from say 3,000 B.C. to 1,500 B.C.- for over fifteen hundred years. There are strong indications of this culture being deeply religious where tradition was transmitted unimpaired for centuries. The remarkable conservatism and scrupulous preservation of even the details of every-day life for long periods proves that the civilization was theocratic based on religion and ideology. It would not be far wrong to call it an ideological state. That was Pakistan 5,000 years ago.

Inspired by the Modello Community Project Steph shares in this episode of the Coming Home series how she feels inspired to take the understanding of the Three Principles to the people of Scotland.
"Through a number of conversations & inspired actions I can see this understanding spreading fairly quickly, inspiring various areas in politics from Health Care to Social Aspects to Housing. I feel Scotland is ready, there is an appetite for change and I can see that this understanding could transform a nation. It's not about saving Scotland, it's more about a gentle waking up to where our experience of life comes from and sharing that with children, people inside the government, homeless people, with anyone from all walks of life."
Steph feels that once people have an understanding where there experience comes from, there is more of a freedom and peace and less suffering regardless of the circumstances. She feels ready to start having conversations with whoever it takes to have conversations with.
Steph feels inspired to share the Sydney Banks story, about a man who had an enlightenment experience and saw the nature of reality via the Three Principles, showing that we're all having a human experience and that we can be enlightened in one moment, and get caught up, get angry and frustrated in the next moment and that with the understanding we become more resilient and take our thinking less seriously.

ABC World News with Diane Sawyer covered airport perimeter security breaches and included SightLogix thermal cameras in the story. You can see the SightLogix system at about three-quarters of the way through the clip, showing the video from a Thermal SightSensor operating at one of our nation's largest airports.
An alarming fact indicated in the clip is that more than 1,300 airport perimeter security breaches have been reported at US airports since Sept 11 2001. While most issues around security checkpoints and screening passengers in terminals have been resolved, there remains tremendous vulnerability where protection is most needed: At the airport perimeter. As pointed out, this is like locking all the doors to your house but leaving the windows wide open.It's harder to get bottled water through the terminal security checkpoint than it is to climb the fence at many airports.
Solving Airport Perimeter Security Breaches with Smart Thermal Video Security
Importantly, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is addressing issues of airport perimeter security breaches head on, first by protecting access points where passengers enter the airport's security checkpoint, and now by focusing their efforts on the next level of vulnerability, which is the perimeter.
Through the TSA's test bed in Tennessee, proven security counter measures are now available that can very effectively address airport perimeter security breaches. A recent evaluation by the TSA's Airport Perimeter Security test program confirmed the accuracy of the SightLogix SightSensor at Buffalo Airport. According to the TSA's final report, the "evaluation team performed over 900 scenarios of which every alarm instance was accurately reported." The public version of the TSA report is available here.
Achieving security awareness depends on knowing the precise location and nature of an intrusion, and early detection is paramount for mounting a timely response. When it comes to securing airport perimeters, seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
Of all the automated detection technologies (fence sensors, fiber optics, seismic sensors, radar, etc.) only smart video provides the intrinsic detail to display and record the "what and where" of an alert without need for additional verification systems, allowing for a fast, precise security response.
Smart thermal video systems can detect unauthorized intruders over large perimeters to provide early warning and actionable data as an event unfolds, and before damage can occur. This gives security teams time to respond with "eyes on until hands on" capability that is critically needed at our nation's airports.

I just got an email from the EO 13650 Working Group that the listening session for tomorrow in Newark, NJ has been postponed due to the nasty weather headed that way. There is no date currently available for when it will be held.
Readers will remember that this listening session was postponed once already. There was no reason given for that postponement.

Why Building Surveyor Nathan chose the Trust
I joined The Trust over seven years ago, covering properties across South West Wales including Tredegar House and Dyffryn Gardens. Before joining The Trust as a Building Surveyor for South East Wales, I ran my own restoration company. I always hoped that one day it would be as good as The Trust - I believe that the National Trust is the best conservation charity in the world.
My role is really varied. In a busy week I can cover short term and long term cyclical tasks, dealing with small and large projects, from servicing boilers to redecorating the exterior of a mansion. What I love most about working at the National Trust is seeing conservation in action. I love watching buildings being returned to their aesthetic splendour, whether it be a small Ty Bach (Welsh toilet) or a castle, they are all as important as each other.
I am lucky to work in an excellent team of professionals and it's great to have such a vast amount of knowledge under one roof. And since working here, I've gained an ABBE Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Environment Development and Control and am also now a member of the CIOB.
As a Building Surveyor you have to have to understand the environment you're working in and have extensive knowledge of how old buildings live and breathe. Patience and a willingness to learn will take you far, but most of all you need a sense of humour!

text: The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It can be found in front of the rectum and underneath the bladder. The prostate surrounds the urethra, the small tube that carries urine and semen out of the body, and is responsible for producing seminal fluid (the white fluid that contains the sperm after ejaculation).
