Over the last three days, Chrissy Teigen's daughter Luna basically outdid every other celebrity baby by modeling not one but eight(!) different costumes on Instagram. She dressed as fairy tale characters, food, and birds, you name it:
Teigen was sent some of the costumes for free by some "very kind vendors." She announced yesterday all the looks are being donated "so other families can get the same joy out of them."
But after some users complained about how unfair it is that people with money get free stuff, Teigen explained in the comments of her post why this happens. It's business, not generosity:
To anyone wondering why people with money get free stuff, I feel you. But they don't send it out of pure generosity. They send it because odds are, I'll instagram it to 8 million people, and that's much cheaper than having a shoot and putting out an ad. Now a magazine will just pull it off my Instagram and boom, free ad. Or others think sending you something will lure you into the store to spend real money or you'll refer them to other influencers of some sort. I dunno. I didn't get it either, and I wish they matched their freebies in donations but all we can do is do the best we can on our end.


You once owned, I believe, during your residence at the University of Va., a
slave, by the name of Sally, whom, upon leaving this
country, you made some arrangements to have emancipated. She was a woman whom you
purchased of Joseph Coolidge
Esq. For the purpose of
carrying out accomplishing her emancipation, you delivered to my
father, Mr. John A. G. Davis, a
Power of Attorney for that purpose with authority to set
her free. During his life this power was never executed, probably because such
emancipation might have rendered her remaining in the State a matter of more
difficulty. She has resided here unmolested until very recently, when there has been
a general examination into the subject of Free Negroes remaining in this State.
Among others her right to do so was called in question. Her counsel, seeing that, as a free negro, she would not be permitted to stay here, and her great object being to avoid going off, took the ground that she was a slave, belonging to yourself. It was then, as anticipated, objected that, as a slave going at large, she was liable to be taken up & sold. Under these circumstances, the Court
— page 2 —was indulgent enough to let the matter lie open for the present, until you could be written to.
The object, therefore, of this letter, is to bring the subject to your notice, and to request the favour of your co-operation to put Sally in a condition, which would enable her legally to reside in this State.
The object, therefore, of this letter, is to bring the subject to your notice, & to request the favour of your co-operation to put Sally in a condition, which would enable her legally to reside in this state.
It is presumed from your disposition to emancipate her, that you would be sufficiently interested, to add to your former kindness to her, that of your assistance upon this occasion.
It occurs to me, that the best thing that can be done, would be to sell her for some trifling sum to some friend of hers. She has, in the last
three or four years, married; and lives with her husband, who is a very honest, good
sort of a man.,-
though he may not They have no children, nor, do I presume, will she ever have any—being
now, perhaps, some fifty years of age.
The readiest plan would be to convey her to her husband; but there might be some objection to putting her so entirely in his power.
Or she might be conveyed to Mr. Valentine W. Southall, (whom, I believe, you formerly knew) or to Mr. James C. Southall, his son, who having been nursed by Sally, would be interested in her comfort & welfare. If conveyed to either of these gentlemen, he would pursue the plan of hiring her annually, for a nominal sum,
— page 3 —to her husband. This would enable her to live with him, which she could not, otherwise than as his slave, do; and would withhold her from being entirely in his power, and at his mercy.
I have written this, Sir, at the request of Mr. Jas. Southall, & hope it may not be the occasion of any serious trouble or inconvenience.
A deed to the following effect will convey the woman:
"This deed, made the [space] day of [space], in the year 185[space],
"between Thomas H. Key of [space], England, and
"[space] of Charlottesville, Albemarle Co. Virginia, wit-
"nesseth: that in consideration of the sum of one dollar, the
"said Thomas H. Key doth grant unto the said [space]
"a certain negro woman slave, named Sally, purchased by
"him of one Joseph Coolidge, said slave being now a res-
"ident of Charlottesville, Virginia, and the wife of a certain
"Reuben Cole. Witness the following signature and seal.
"Witness Thos. H. Key seal"
It will then be proper to acknowledge the above before our minister or consul, who will add a certificate to this effect.
London City of London, to wit: I, [space]
"Consul (if it be such) of the United States of America at the
"city aforesaid, certify that Thomas H. Key whose name is
"signed to the writing above, bearing date on the [space] day of
"[space] has acknowledged the same before me, in the
— page 4 —"city aforesaid. Given under my official seal this
"day of [space]
A. B. Consul &c."
This must be given under the official seal of the person granting it.
Your attention to this will very much oblige
Eugene Davis Esq.

Anchor Shingle Design
This anchor won't hold a ship but it will hold viewers' attention.
Weaving shingle designs into cedar sidewall shingles can be done up on the wall while installing the field shingles but an easier way is on a benchtop. Gravity works in your favor and you can have all your shop tools in short reach. This anchor is of moderate complexity and took me about 6 hours to plan and lay out. Onsite installation only took 30 minutes.
Making a design template: For most designs less than 8 ft x 8 ft I make a cardboard template. Large appliance boxes saved from jobsites are my primary source for large pieces. You need to know the shingle course layout for the area where a design will go since course exposures may vary. Transfer the story pole layout onto cardboard a couple little wider and taller than the overall anticipated design size and draw horizontal course lines across.
Find a design subject photo and using an LCD projector cast the image onto the cardboard. Make sure the keystone adjustment is set accurately so there is no distortion. Adjust the focal size of the image using the LCD lens or by moving the projector closer to further way from the cardboard until the image size embraces the courses that will cross the design. Then sketch the silouttee of the image on the cardboard and any special design features that you want to highlight in the shingles. Cut out the image from the cardboard panel and you’re ready to cut shingles.
You’ll use the template to mark each shingle course that crosses the design.
Build a lightweight panel: You’ll need a panel to tack staple the shingles to while working on a bench and moving the finished design around until it’s time to install. I make a panel out of 1/4 in. plywood fastened to frame made of 1x2s that’s at least a foot wider and taller than the design. Even though a panel may be big, it’s light and stiff.
Collating shingles together: A design is made from dozens or even hundreds of individual shingles. It is hard to keep track of them individually when transferring them from design panel to a wall. I like to collate the shingles in each course together by gluing cardboard drywall shims to groups. Two strips works best – one near the top thin edge of the shingles and another a couple inches above the exposure line. The shims will stay on the shingles permanently. I bond each drywall shim strip with 2 adhesives. A bead if construction adhesive and fast-acting thick cyanoacrylate . The cyano adhesive could be used alone but would be expensive to cover the drywall shim with it. So I just apply a tiny bead of it to act as a clamp while the construction adhesive cures. To apply even pressure on the drywall shim when laying it over the top of the shingles I use a straight 1x board with a strip of 3/8 in. self-adhering gasket foam. The foam adjusts to the unevenness of the shingle surface so the adhesive bonds.
I place each course of shingles making sure the 1-1/2 in. min. joint offset between shingles in successive courses is maintained, apply the adhesives, bond the drywall shims, and then make any cuts using a jigsaw.
The video shows each course as it was cut, layered and aligned with the design. The first time doing a new design is trial and error and you may end up casting aside a couple courses of shingles that didn’t achieve the desired effect. That’s another benefit of cutting a design in a shop; it’s easy to redo since the shingles are only tacked to the panel.
Make a copy and save the template: The most important thing to do before installing a design onto the wall is making a copy. You can use strips of 1/4 in. (or thinner) plywood ripped to the width of the shingle height or use some low-grade shingles. Cut a duplicate of each shingle course and backing material strips. Then if you want to use the design again you can skip a lot of the time consuming head-scratching and just make a copy. Or even if you want to make a larger or smaller version of the design, you’ll save time by reviewing the copy and how you created the design details.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service has seen a massive reduction in the number of false automatic fire alarms calls it has responded to, following the change in its attendance policy.
Since changes were implemented three months ago (in April 2012), and Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) stopped attending automatic fire alarms during the day (6am to 6pm) unless it received confirmation of a fire or signs of fire, daytime call-outs have fallen by 63 per cent.
This means that there have been 450 occasions when fire engines have not had to turn out to false alarms and have instead been available to attend genuine emergencies where lives may have been at risk.
Area Manager John Robertson said: "We are very encouraged by these figures and believe that they show that many businesses and premises with automatic alarm systems understand the need for this change and are already putting the necessary measures in place to manage their alarm systems, to be able to confirm a fire and to reduce unwanted calls."
While AFA calls to the service have dropped by 10 per cent over the same period, KFRS is still being contacted by people who are calling us before confirming if there is a fire or signs of fire.
John added: "Clearly, there is still a long way to go on this, both in reducing the number of times people call us when there isn't a fire and in preparing for the next phase of the policy when our change in response will change will apply 24 hours a day. This will happen in April 2013."
He added: "We will continue to support businesses in managing these changes, but it is important for people to be aware that it is the duty of the person responsible for the building to update their fire risk assessment to reflect the changes in our attendance to automatic alarm systems. They should also ensure procedures are in place to confirm a fire before calling us."

Kolkata: Team India may have sealed the issue with four bowlers in the first Test in Kanpur, but going by early indications, Amit Mishra is likely to get a call in the playing XI in the second match in Kolkata as the leg-spinner was seen slugging hard both with ball and bat during practice session at Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
India coach Anil Kumble, himself a spin legend, had underlined the importance of playing five bowlers and was seen in a long freewheeling chat with former captain Sourav Ganguly, now the head of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
The duo saw the wicket and spoke to curator Sujan Mukherjee, as Mishra kept bowling to captain Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane in Wednesday's optional practice session.
Terming himself old-fashioned, Kumble said: "In this squad we will only look at what is needed for that playing XI. We have constantly gone with five bowlers, but in the last Test we felt an additional batsman was needed."
Rohit is back in his favourite venue where he had scored his ODI world record of 264 and is also back among runs (68 not out) in the second essay in Kanpur after a disappointing outing in the first.
Kumble hinted that the Mumbaikar may retain his place, which means injured KL Rahul's replacement Gautam Gambhir may have to wait for his Test return after a gap of two years.
Gambhir did not attend Wednesday's practice session as he joined the team only in the evening.
"His (Rohit's) batting form in the second innings augurs well for the team. That 100-plus partnership with Jadeja was crucial to take the game away from the New Zealanders.
"It ensured that we take the momentum and it carried over after that dominating session. It's not just good for the team but I'm sure it would have done a boost to his confidence," Kumble said.
As for the pitch, which has mostly remained under cover, it may not turn straightway from day one as India may feel the need for a third spinning option, something that was evident from Mishra's body language at the optional practice on Wednesday.
Only four India regulars -- Kohli, Rahane, Rohit and Wriddhiman Saha -- turned up for practice on Wednesday, while the spin duo of Ravichandra Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who accounted for 16 scalps in India's 197-run win in the first Test in Kanpur, opted for rest.
Mishra, meanwhile, swung his arm for close to an hour before padding up to face a few balls from the likes of Barinder Sran, Kuldeep Yadav and Jayant Yadav, the replacement for Ishant Sharma, who's down with chikungunya.
If Mishra is included, then India might as well stick to the remaining players with either Ajinkya Rahane or Rohit as the likely options for the opening slot vacated by Rahul.
With conditions overcast and muggy, the groundsmen did not take any chance as they kept most of the field covered, leaving only the wicket and practice arena open.
A win in the second Test will not only seal the three-match series for India but hand Kohli's men the number one position in the Test rankings.
India are unbeaten from 12 matches at home which includes 10 victories and two draws since December 2012.

Cubemen offers a up a refreshing twist on tower defense
Duke vs. UNC, butter vs. margarine, Beatles vs. Stones…some matchups defy time and space, and are as much a part of our culture as good vs. evil. In video games you might not have ever realized it, but red has a real bone to pick with blue. The default in many multiplayer games is to make one side red and the other blue, so much so that gamers it has ingrained itself in our heads permanently that the two never shall mix. In Three Sprockets’ new tower defense/RTS hybrid Cubemen, we can add little men vs. little men to that list of classic battles.
Taking the title of the game seriously, during the tower defense portion of the game your towers are actually little cubed men. Deploy the various cubemen on any square of the board to fight off the approaching horde of enemies that are trying to take down your base. Though they can’t be upgraded, your cubemen don’t have to stay where you first placed them. Select one at any time and place it somewhere else as often as you want. As the two sides clash, enemies will start to push your cubemen out of the way until they’re destroyed. Trying to find the best placement for the different types of cubemen is the key to a successful match. It’s an interesting mechanic, though it takes some time to get used to.
The single player portion features 26 levels and is the most like a regular tower defense game. The levels themselves carry on the cube theme and feature various elevated portions, bridges and floating platforms. The elevated parts of paths can slightly slow down the approaching enemies, adding to the overall strategy. With a wide variety of designs there’s always something interesting to try out, though some of them are better suited to this style of play than others.
The main draw of the game seems to be the Skirmish mode where you’re pitted against either the AI or another human player. You essentially play two simultaneous games of tower defense until someone’s base is destroyed. There are 20 different levels specifically designed for this mode, so when combined with the single player content there’s plenty to keep you busy.
As might be expected with the voxel style, the graphics are pretty simple – almost to a fault. The levels sort of “float” on a plain dark grey background. There’s no texture to it, just plain ‘ol grey. There’s a little bit of shadowing and very sparse traces of color overall, ensuring that you won’t see Cubemen on anyone’s list of “best graphics” at the end of the year. The good thing is that it works for the premise, and runs like a dream on any machine.
The team at Three Sprockets have built a pretty decent tower defense hybrid. The element of “living towers” that can be moved around constantly makes things interesting, even if the look of the game is kinda dull. Still, with a budget price, Cubemen is something that’s worth picking up if you find yourself in the throes of needing a tower defense fix.


Business News of Thursday, 27 September 2018
The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Ernest Addison has indicated that the quality of loans in the industry witnessed an improvement, as the Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) ratio eased to 21.3 percent in August 2018 from 21.9 percent for the corresponding period in 2017.
Dr. Addison disclosed this at the 84TH Monetary Policy Committee briefing in Accra on Monday.
In this light, Dr. Addison noted that the Bank has also approved a loan write-off of GHS 1.2 billion for the banking industry, which has reduced the NPLs ratio significantly to 18.4 percent.
According to the Governor, these category of NPLs are completely lost, adding that, “once you have NPLs that are completely lost, you have to make full provisions for them. So, over the years, the banks have fully provided for these lost components.”
He noted that, the action was taken in order to bring down the NPLs in the banking industry.
The previous Central Bank report, published in May noted that, the stock of NPLs increased from GHS 7.1bn as at end-April 2017 to GHS 8.63bn in April 2018- a new record high.
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank kept its key lending rates to commercial banks unchanged at 17 percent for the second time this year.
He indicated that this was due to threats envisaged to economic growth and inflation.
In explaining, Dr. Addison said, “the most recent forecasts show some marginal elevation of the disinflation path considering the possible second round effects of the recent increases in petroleum prices, exchange rate depreciation, effects of recent increases in taxes, pick up in global inflation as well as the effects of the tight global financing conditions.”


Help! Swim Team's 'Call Me Maybe' Video Has Us Singing It--Again
Thanks USA Olympic swim team. We finally got the song "Call Me Maybe" out of ours heads for like 10 seconds this summer, and now it's back.
And okay we admit it, although it's been the endless summer of one viral video lip-synch of the Carly Rae Jepsen song after another (we heart the one with Cookie monster), the swim team's is definitely worth watching.
Released on Thursday, the video, which shows the swimmers dancing in airplane aisles and singing for the camera, already has more than 300,000 views on YouTube--and we're sure it will definitely ratchet up more over the weekend.
So why the foray into video production? According to TODAY.com it’s a go-to karaoke song and a popular choice for team members getting pumped up before jumping in the pool. (Unlike the rest of America, which generally just belts it out along with the radio in the car.)
Cute, peppy, unforgettable: Yeah, the song fits the team. Call us maybe?


Preventing falls is a top priority for any construction worksite. Frequently claiming the top spot on OSHA’s top 10 safety violations list, fall accidents and fatalities are nevertheless preventable through a mix of training, safeguards and adherence to best safety practices.
To raise awareness about these common incidents, OSHA is promoting a National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction, “a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety.” During the week of May 7-11, 2018, it suggests that:
Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on "Fall Hazards" and reinforcing the importance of "Fall Prevention". Employers of companies not exposed to fall hazards, can also use this opportunity to have a conversation with employees about the other job hazards they face, protective methods, and the company's safety policies and goals. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see.
- Think about asking your subcontractors, owner, architects, engineers, or others associated with your project to participate in the stand-down.
- Consider reviewing your fall prevention program. This will help provide a more effective stand-down.
- Follow up afterwards. If you learned something that could improve your fall prevention program, consider making changes.
HSI companies Summit and CLMI offer online fall prevention courses that are easy to learn and administrate through our Encompass EHS platform:
Fall Protection - Construction
Complies with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 and 1910.66
This course addresses the major factors in fall incidents in construction. Topics include:
- Correct selection, use and care of fall protection equipment
- Understanding when fall arrest equipment is necessary
- Recognizing and preventing fall hazards
This course teaches important safety tips for eliminating fall hazards in the work environment, as well as information about fall protection equipment. It features professional stunt people demonstrating falls in a variety of environments.
Some accidents don’t allow you the time to learn from your mistake. Falling from a dangerous height is one accident that rarely offers you a second chance. This program teaches your employees the importance of using the correct fall protection. The informative video provides a detailed illustration of the various types of fall protection and how to properly use them to avoid a deadly fall.
This video covers safe construction of temporary stairways and job made ladders for construction sites. It also covers safe use of ladders on the job site.

The negative effect of post-2008 'austerity' on health, social care, and other public spending is cited as a potential cause in studies examining temporal associations between mortality trends and markers of NHS performance and public spending. Other features of this complex mortality story also warrant consideration, including the parallels with what’s happening elsewhere.
Several high income countries have seen a slowdown in longevity improvements since 2010. As in the UK, the slowdown is greater at older ages, especially among women, and is driven by some similar causes of death (although the contribution of opioids to falling life expectancy in 2015 and 2016 is so far unique to the US). Two parallel but distinct developments warrant further consideration: an underlying deceleration in the rate of improvement affecting most ages, and periodic mortality peaks – mainly affecting older people – that compound the general slowdown.
The decelerating rate of improvement in mortality from cardiovascular disease is a substantial contributor to the steady slowdown in longevity improvements. The underlying causes are unclear and could include changes in risk factors such as obesity and diabetes and the diminishing effects of primary and secondary prevention strategies. In the UK, improvements have also slowed for several other causes of death – for example, chronic respiratory disease. Adding to the complexities of interpreting changes in cause of death is the rising proportion of deaths attributed to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (resulting partly from diagnostic and coding changes), many of which are associated with other conditions.
Alongside this general slowdown are annual fluctuations in mortality, notably the sharp fall in life expectancy in many European countries in 2015 (which was greater in France, Germany, and Italy than in the UK), with a recovery in 2016. Such large, abrupt, and widespread increases in mortality followed by a recovery are unprecedented in recent years and suggest a common cause. Deaths from respiratory disease had an important role. The mortality monitoring agency EuroMOMO reported excess winter deaths in 2015 across much of Europe, including the UK. Most of these were in older people and were attributed largely to flu, based on corroborative information on morbidity, the flu strain in circulation, and low efficacy of the vaccine. The pattern of excess winter deaths reported for other years is also similar across much of Europe and points to the role of flu, pneumonia, and respiratory disease more generally in some years.
In summary, the general deceleration in mortality improvements in many high income countries since 2010 has been compounded by periodic bad winters. The slowdown has different components, affecting different age groups and sexes differentially, but with some similarities across countries. Austerity probably hastened and caused some deaths in the UK, especially among elderly people. It doesn’t explain why similar mortality trends are seen elsewhere, and why the slowdown in, for example, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands – which experienced little austerity – has been greater than in Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, where austerity was most severe. The causes are likely to be multifactorial and need further deconstruction.
Unpacking the causes of the multiple concurrent changes is complex but essential for tackling the underlying drivers. Learning from international experience should be part of this. Furthermore, analyses that aggregate multiple years mask annual fluctuations in mortality that are key to understanding what’s happening in both 'good' and 'bad' years. For example, just as 2015 was a 'bad' year in many countries, life expectancy in several countries including the UK increased sharply in 2014. This was possibly aided by 2014 being a benign year for flu, as reported by EuroMOMO.
Looking ahead, PHE and EuroMOMO report substantial excess winter deaths for 2017-18, largely attributable to flu, and deaths from flu and pneumonia were at or above epidemic threshold for 16 weeks in the US last winter, one of its longest flu seasons. Like 2015, 2018 could be a poor year for some countries, including the UK.
Annual mortality changes therefore need closer scrutiny, as do secondary causes of death – for example, comorbidities associated with dementia deaths and cardiovascular and other deaths precipitated by acute respiratory infections. The dataset for England linking hospital patient records with mortality records could provide additional, valuable insights into comorbidities and causes of death, including by deprivation level. The effect of widening inequalities on the mortality slowdown also needs closer examination. Timely analysis of such factors should become routine for PHE and the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The UK’s life expectancy is below that of many comparator countries, especially for women, for whom there has been no improvement since the slowdown started in 2011. Inequalities are widening, and the UK’s healthcare expenditure and resources are below those of comparator countries. Beyond learning from international patterns, PHE and ONS need to examine urgently why the UK’s life expectancy is falling further behind – including through collaboration with international agencies where appropriate.

Despite having a majority of second half possession, Shepshed failed to score at The Castlecroft Stadium for the third season in a row.
The opening period was an even affair, Kyle Brady’s header for Wulfrunians going over the bar in the first minute. Two minutes later, Shepshed’s new signing Dom Brennan went close.
Jack Hartopp then punched over Ben Jevon’s free kick in the fifth minute.
Brennan was lively on his debut, his shot on 12 minutes being cleared.
Hartopp was then called out to meet Sam Young’s header on 16 minutes.
A minute later the hosts were in the lead, Jamie King breaking free down the left hand side managed to avoid the advancing Hartopp for Brady to slot into the middle of the goal.
Wulfrunians were looking to extend their lead, Hartopp did well to recover after fumbling the ball to Richard Palmer on eighteen minutes and a minute later Hartopp saved from Jake Webb and Nathan Rose Laing put the rebound wide.
Shepshed then came more into the game, Brennan supplying Liam Read on 26 minutes but his shot was wide and a minute later Lee Miveld found Michael Reeve but his shot was also wide.
Miveld had a free kick cleared on 34 minutes.
Shepshed ended the half stronger, Brennan Soy was straight at Danny Tipton on 37 minutes and one minute later Miveld combined with Danny Chapman but Read’s shot went wide.
Shepshed were continually finding chances but not the target as Reeves’ header missed the mark on 40 minutes and as the half drew to a close Brennan’s dangerous cross was cleared by Rose Laing.
Shepshed went in search of an early second half equaliser with Reeve going close twice, his free kick on 55 minutes going over the crossbar and seven minutes later his shot went wide.
Shepshed were controlling the play when Brennan found Theodore Smith on 65 minutes but Tipton managed to tip his effort over.
Brennan’s shot was deflected into Tipton on 69 minutes and four minutes later Read’s corner was cleared from under the crossbar by Matt Hunt. Smith’s ball back across the box was cleared by John Hill.
Brennan again went close on 78 minutes and Langham and Brennan both fired wide.
Shepshed’s failure to convert chances cost them dearly and matters were made worse when Adam Hohn was deemed the last man and sent off for a professional foul in the final minute.
MIDLAND FOOTBALL LEAGUE
SHEPSHED DYNAMO 1
AFTER going weeks unbeaten, Shepshed were beaten twice in the space of four days last week.
Despite taking the lead, Dynamo were undone with a frenzy of goals on a five minute spell by a ruthless Alvechurch.
Shepshed took the game to third placed Church early on.
Michael Reeve went wide on four minutes and then three minutes later Sam Young found Karl Whymark but his shot went over the bar.
Liam Read then went close on ten minutes.
The game under tricky conditions went into a lull and it wasn’t until the 22nd minute that Sam Young’s cross was punched clear by Paul Evans.
Lee Miveld then fired wide on 25 minutes. Shortly after, Dynamo were in the lead, a strong defensive header from Sam Betts beat the Alvechurch defence as did Reeve’s pace to slot past Evans.
It could have been two, two minutes later Reeve putting Langham through but his shot was cleared off the line by Richard Huckfield.
Alvechurch began to turn on the pressure, Young was forced to clear on 30 minutes from Connor Deards.
A minute later and Church were level, Shepshed’s failure to clear the ball allowed Josh March to have a clear shot on goal which was saved by Jack Hartopp only to land and leave Connor Deards free to slot into the empty goal.
March made it 2-1 on 33 minutes and the scoreline worsened three minutes later as Lee Downing’s shot went in under the body of Hartopp.
Alvechurch consolidated their lead and chances were few and far between. Hartopp out to three on 55 minutes.
Reeve looked to shorten the deficit on 69 minutes but his shot went straight into Church’s substitute Jordan Nadat which forced a good save from Hartopp on 80 minutes and four minutes later Niall Prenderville fired wide for Shepshed.
Like the weather, Shepshed’s day ended dismally as Downing picking up a loose ball after Jack Cresswell’s forlorn effort for a penalty was turned down, added his second and Alvechurch’s fourth on 86 minutes.
A good first half hour but Shepshed were undone with three quick fire goals.
Dynamo slip to seventh and again go on their travels this week. A Tuesday night County Cup game at Kirkby Muxloe and then a return to Midland Football League action away at Lye where they encountered a nine goal thriller last season.


This week's review involves one of the most common guitar tweaks - swapping out your saddle. Since the saddle is one of three places where your strings are "coupled" to the body of your guitar with non-wood materials (the other places being the nut and the bridge pins), the saddle material can and will make a difference in your guitar's playing dynamics. This week, we're looking at a Maury's Music Fossilized Walrus Ivory (FWI) compensated saddle ($79.99). FWI, unlike elephant ivory, is not a banned material and, as its name implies, is harvested from the fossilized remains of walruses. $79.99 might seem like a lot for just a guitar saddle, but it is a very hard material, and as a result offers the promise of improved transmission of string energy to your guitar.
In a little bit of a change, Todd and I are reviewing FWI saddles in two parts. This week, I'm reporting the results from the saddle upgrades we performed on one of my vintage D-35S's, with Todd's comments added below. There will be a second "Saddle Up" installment coming soon, where Todd will take the lead as we perform the same upgrades on his modern (and cherished) "Über Juber" OMC-28B.
Our testing procedure was pretty simple - my 1969 D-35S received, in order, Micarta, bone, and FWI saddles, which Todd and I played and noted our results. We wanted to include Micarta and bone in our review because these represent the saddle materials from which most guitarists would be upgrading. The saddles were sanded to the same height, and checked for fit, and then swapped in. My D-35S was wearing Martin SP Fingerstyle Medium 80/20 strings, held in with stock factory plastic pins.
We started with Micarta as our baseline, and learned it is not an inferior choice. Many companies use Micarta because it is a manufactured product with ample supply and great consistency. The Micarta saddle offered a nice, full sound, and I heard a firm midrange along with good overall volume and sustain across the board. With my bare-fingered playing style, I noticed I wasn't able to hear the bass strings very clearly, though. When I listened to Todd's fingerstyle playing with his enhanced (silk-wrapped) fingernails, there was better definition. When we switched to a flatpick, all the strings could be heard, and there was nice full balance with a little emphasis on the mids.
When we switched to bone, there was a big jump in definition. My bare fingers were able to produce better volume and the notes were cleaner and crisper. There was more clarity across the board, and a more ringing sustain. It was obvious why bone saddle upgrades are so popular. With Todd's fingers and with our flatpicks, the same improvements in volume, definition, and sustain were noticed. One interesting quality that emerged was that the bone saddle also imparted a little warmth and richness to the individual notes, although the additional clarity made Micarta sound a little fuller through the mids by comparison. I have heard from players who upgraded to bone that the initial brightness and hard edge given to notes eventually mellowed out somewhat as the saddle was "played in". Bone will initially sound brighter and clearer than Micarta, but will mellow as it is "played in" over time. The bone saddle on my D-35S had a few years on it.
The final swap to FWI produced even more definition, clarity, and volume. My fingerstyle patterns offered even better definition and volume than bone (especially from the 6th
strings), as did Todd's fingerstyle and our flatpick playing. What also reappeared was a nice fullness in the mids, balanced by a chiming and ringing quality to the highs. Individual notes appeared in sharper focus. On top of that, there was an added quality imparted to the individual notes. I heard a more complex sound coming out of my D-35S - the notes had a presence and depth that wasn't there with bone, and seemed fuller and tighter at the same time. This added an extra dimension to the individual notes, and was a wonderful bonus.

Red Bulls midfielder Claudio Reyna is expected to announce his retirement at a news conference Wednesday afternoon in Newark. Reyna, who has often been injured, has not played in a game for the Red Bulls since May 25 as he struggled with a back injury.
As one of the club’s two designated players, Reyna was earning more than $1 million a season.
He played in only six games this season and in 21 of 30 regular-season games in 2007. In those 27 games, Reyna produced no goals and three assists.Continue reading the main story

Exams bring a lot of stress and nervousness for students. Even those who are well prepared for exams experience this fear of losing marks. Most of the students don’t even know why and where they lose their marks.
The fear before the exam leads to many mistakes that students make which are listed below. This fear is the reason why you often go blank despite preparing well. It is the biggest factor that gives rise to the following factors. Today PapersHelm reviews 9 most common mistakes that students make as they attempt their exam.
Making grammatical errors is the most intense form of writing mistakes, which does not go unnoticed. Take care of punctuations, spellings, and tenses to avoid mistakes. Sometimes teeny tiny mistakes become the reason for major deduction of marks. This may put a question mark on your skills and capabilities.
Carelessness may lead to disappointment not only in the exams but in conventional routine too. Paying limited attention to questions and not reviewing paper prior to submission falls under the category of carelessness. Furthermore, your mismanagement of time and ignorance may point towards a lack of attention, thus ruining your academic career.
Poor planning is also a reason behind many mistakes that you make during examinations. Before taking the exam you should give yourself at least 10 minutes to read the instructions carefully. Go through all questions with sheer attention. Decide which questions you can attempt first easily and leave tough ones for later.
You should understand the concept and then write it down in your own words. Most students merely cram their teacher’s notes. Misinterpreting questions and quoting concepts wrongly can change the whole context of the answer. PapersHelm reviews that students often lose marks because they overlook tricky part of questions.
Relying too much on notes given by your teachers can increase your dependency on sources like books or the internet. This dependency kills your creativity. Students are, thus, not able to answer creative and complex questions that appear in exams. Try to work on such weak areas where your memory can baffle you easily.
Answering difficult questions often take much time and other easy parts of paper remain unattended. Time management is very important in exams. Don’t waste your time attempting questions you don’t know the answers of. So PapersHelm advises you to attempt easy parts first.
PapersHelm reviews that reading instructions carefully and then following them can be very helpful especially during exams. Mostly students oversee instructions only realizing later that answers they wrote are not according to requirement. Therefore, follow the instructions given in the test carefully.
Most of the mistakes made by students are so minor it becomes obvious that students have not rechecked paper. You should examine everything written in the paper very carefully. You can read run-up sentences to yourself because it helps in pointing out errors in sentence structure.
Most students are concerned about numbers of words rather than quality. Filling 7 to 8 lines with no relevant content can make you lose your marks and time. Try to give short and accurate answers and don’t beat about the bush. This suggestion comes handy when it comes to writing an essay in exams.
PapersHelm reviews numerous topics that students need to know. Students need to pay attention for these common mistakes as they attempt their exams. Keen attention to preparation and careful analysis of the exam paper will help in eliminating these errors.


Adoption of a new technology is more about changing habits than anything else. It is about dumping old habits and adopting new ones. And, SharePoint adoption is mostly about changing habits.
Certainly, established habits help get things done faster. That is why dumping them in order to adopt new ones results in a temporary dip in productivity. This is true for all technologies with a significant level of complexity. It is an inevitable consequence of innovation.
This temporary drop in productivity is explained by the fact that people need the time to learn new different ways of doing things and adapt to them. Imagine that you were using DropBox for file sharing and suddenly you have to use SharePoint. How will you feel when the learning curve slows you down and episodes of frustrations put you off balance?
The dip in productivity is one of the most common events that lead to SharePoint adoption failure. If left unchecked, it may have a negative impact on business and make users fall back to the old systems. It is the job of the leadership to find solutions that will preserve productivity in the company and ensure a smooth transition.
Managing the productivity drop comes down to simply making the period shorter and imperceptible. Here are some of the steps that you can take:
- Inflate the morale
- Deflate expectations
- Accelerate learning
How do you accomplish all of these things?
The 3 Proven Steps
Building your team morale simply means motivating them. How can you motivate them into adopting SharePoint as soon as possible? What can you do to generate the enthusiasm?
You can do many things. One trick that seems to work every time is running a communication campaign of the reasons why.
Typically, people don’t do things unless they understand why they are doing them. If you want them to put efforts into adopting SharePoint, explain why it is crucial. Demonstrate how everyone will benefit from the productivity and work enjoyment that will follow. These steps can help:
- Highlight all the problems that everyone experiences when working with data
- Describe all the solutions that SharePoint will bring to those problems
- Present examples where those problems have been solved
- And, on a weekly basis, showcase success stories from the early-adopters in the organization
If you explore other ideas, you might come up with more creative ways to motivate your team and make them feel really good about learning and using SharePoint.
If the morale should be inflated, the expectations should be deflated.
This is all about telling them what exactly to expect on the road ahead. No one quits faster than those with the wrong expectations. Find a way to communicate that the upcoming enterprise is not a walk in the park; that sweat and tears will flow before things get pleasant again.
This campaign will help them avoid the shock when things get frustrating. If they expect the adoption process to be effortless, they will easily fall back to their old tools. No one likes to see their productivity suffer. Realizing that the task ahead is tough will prepare their psych for the needed perseverance.
More importantly, remind them that mistakes are allowed.
Many people fear making mistakes; they fear:
- Being blamed for problems that may arise
- Disappointing their co-workers
- Being perceived as incompetent
If they feel this way, they won’t be bold and daring; they will be hesitant to try new things and explore possibilities.
To avoid this roadblock, do all you can to make them understand that making mistakes is a normal part of the process. Go further: encourage them to explore things and make mistakes. If you want them to experiment even more, give them a testing environment.
Giving them permission to make mistakes is not enough; you also need to allow them to slow down. Explain that it is a necessary step toward improving productivity for everyone in the long run.
When they understand that slowing down before speeding up is normal, they won’t be concerned when they have to watch a tutorial before completing a task.
Remembering the steps helps get things done faster. Always deploy a training system that helps your employees remember what they learn.
Not all training systems are equal. A great training system makes your employees SharePoint-literate, not SharePoint-experts. First, focus on exactly what they need to know so they can get their tasks done. Second, give them guidance as to where they may learn more when ready.
Moreover, ensure that training is available wherever and whenever. Give your employees the help they need when they need it, not when the next IT member will be available. The most effective help and training system instantly and contextually shows the user what to do in order to complete a task, not prior to working on the task or after failing to complete a task. VisualSP Help System does a good job of this.
Also, remember to find ways to make training easier to consume and enjoyable to follow. You should not use text-only for tutorials that can use videos, annotated screenshots, and walkthroughs.
These 3 approaches will definitely make the training process simpler, faster, and more pleasant. They are proven to accelerate SharePoint learning.
More Effective Steps
Inflating the morale with motivation workshops, deflating expectations with awareness campaigns, and accelerating learning with training optimization will surely make the productivity drop period shorter and smoother. The efforts are necessary if you wish to manage this transitional negative event effectively and ensure a successful SharePoint adoption.
In the short video below, Richard Harbridge, CTO at 2toLead, shares some additional wisdom on the subject.
You may watch more video tutorials at VisualSP.com.

I’m fairly new to php development and am in the process of building my first php content managed web site.
I have a main domain which contains most of the php function files ( all included ) and the page templates ( also included ), but i also have a subdomain of this domain that i wish to allow to use the same files.
I have an index.php file at both locations which includes all the function files and adds some variables unique to each domain. This all works fine on the main domain and variables etc are shared between all the includes correctly. However, i have just got round to creating the index file for the sub domain and have found two problems.
Firstly, any variables i set in index.php of the subdomain cannot be found in any of the files i include from the main domain.
Secondly, when i try to call a function from the subdomain that is contained in one of the included files from the main domain the error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fn_checkstructureidexists() " appears.
Is the loss of variables and functions across subdomains a security/sandboxing issue? Is there anyway around this? Its getting very frustrating cos it just doesnt make any sence.
Please help / advise! Many thanks!

If you want to try your hand at repurposing something different that forces you to think outside the box, how about a radiator? Granted a couple of them are a little “out there”, but it just comes to show that you can literally make anything.
1. If you are opening a bar (or renovating) this might just be ideal.
2. This one would be great in the garden, right next to the barbecue…
3. Or you could for having it as a coffee table, with wheels, in the living room.
4. And we all remember Max Murdock’s creation at Kirstie’s Fill Your House For Free.
5. If you the same type of old radiation around the house, this shop has put what seems like and old door or shutters on top and has created space underneath to display items.
6. This would make a wonderful island in the kitchen.
7. And some people have gone for a chair. Not sure how comfortable they would be, mind you. Perhaps add some cushions!
8. Someone has gone so far as to making a sun bed!
9. And perhaps the most impressive of them all, a lamp! Fethi Atakol is a designer based in Italy who focuses on the term “re-use desing”, which means “to produce a new function upon and by relics, traces of a previous one”.
Have you been inspired by any of these images? Do you want to repurpose YOUR radiators now?

Genre: Fiction→ Children & Young Adult→ Science Fiction→ Inventions


There was a time when you could spot a Hollywood climber by their puckered lips and firm grip on the coattails of actual celebrities they desperately wanted to please: A--kissing was the method of choice for C- and D-list stars looking to improve their ranking.
But these days, targeted acrimony will land a name in a headline faster than dutiful servitude: With the help of social media, a casually dropped insult or a well-timed tweet can be publicity gold.
The Twitter feud between Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham and Kourtney Kardashian/Scott Disick is the latest example of a less famous person clawing at scraps of a bigger star's spotlight.
After Kourtney (who is 32) and Scott announced they were expecting their second child, Abraham bizarrely scolded them via Twitter.
Im [sic] Shocked Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again, Did she not learn anything from TEEN MOM? Maybe its a fake pregnancy like kims wedding SAD [sic], Abraham tweeted.
Kourtney ignored the dig about Kim's sham brief marriage and tweeted her criticism of Abraham's logic: Why would I have anything to do with Teen Mom? I'm 32 years old! I may look young, honey, but don't get it twisted.
Disick hit back at Abraham too, tweeting: Were not teenagers ya f--king moron.
Unlike Kourtney, Scott retweeted Farrah's original message.
But that wasn't enough for her. Khloe asked Scott how he even knew who Farrah was, and he tweeted I just thought she was some s--t stain on twitter, no? in reponse.
To that, Abraham accused Disick of being a racist. What?
Caught wind of these dramatic articles, w/ loser scott disick or some boyfriend of kourtneys , is S--t Stain< racist 4 black? Great dad! NOT, she tweeted.
(For the record, Abraham's parents and the (late) father of her baby do not appear to be ethnic minorities. She appears to be white as well, though we have not been able to confirm her ethnicity. Also, she's probably not winning any Parent of the Year awards herself, after she reportedly left her young daughter to live with her mother -- who has been arrested for domestic abuse -- while she went to college in Florida.)
However inane her Twitter rampage was, it's gotten her a lot more attention than she would have otherwise. We're guessing it's no accident that Farrah chose to go after reliable headline-makers with millions of Twitter followers.
Both of Kourtney's sisters have also been targeted by far less visible fame-seekers. A man claiming to be Kim Kardashian's former publicist got his 15 minutes of fame when he claimed to have inside knowledge that her marriage to Humphries was fake, and a transgender woman is suing Khloe Kardashian for allegedly assualting her -- in 2009.
Drive-by bashing allows wannabes the profile-boosting benefits of an association, but does not require the approval (or in some cases, even the participation) of the bigger star.
While some celebrities enjoy a temporary career boost from a gossip rag-friendly feud, others have built entire careers on insulting more famous people. Take Kelly Osbourne: While she does have an actual job as a commentator on E!'s Fashion Police (where she makes fun of stars on the red carpet), she has routinely forced her way into the spotlight by eviscerating such celebrities as Christina Aguilera and Kate Middleton.
Osbourne and Aguilera have a longstanding feud, which reportedly began when Aguilera mocked Osbourne at the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards.
During the last year, Osbourne has slammed Aguilera's weight gain, saying this summer, Maybe she is just becoming the fat b--ch she was born to be.
In October, she explained that Christina had it coming for teasing Osbourne about her weight when the reality star was a bit chubbier.
She called me fat for years, Osbourne said on Fashion Police. I was never that fat.
Osbourne even dared to attack the unimpeachable Kate Middleton this summer -- when the Duchess of Cambridge craze was at its peak -- criticizing her habit of recycling outfits.
In England they are like 'look how thrifty she's being,' showing the British public that the Royals are in a recession as well,' Osbourne told Jay Leno. Only in this country they call it a faux pas.
Osbourne is equally skilled at befriending bigger stars at the right time. She embraced the role of Amy Winehouse's BFF after the singer died in July, speaking to the press and calling attention to herself at Winehouse's memorial service.
More recently, she headline-bombed another BFF, Miley Cyrus: Her comments at Miley's 19th Birthday Party helped get the pop star accused of being a pothead (again) -- but Osbourne was more than happy to tweet to Miley's defense, getting more eyes on her Twitter feed and proving to the world what a great friend she is in the process.
As we mentioned earlier, a wannabe can bring attention to themselves even if their stated nemesis doesn't care about them at all. This fall, Colin Quinn made headlines when he attacked Will Ferrell on Twitter, accusing the fellow Saturday Night Live alum of stealing the idea for Anchorman from him.
Anybody see Will Ferrell at Mark Twain awards last night? Great for him I guess, @iamcolinquinn tweeted, and quickly followed up with a series of increasingly critical tweets:
Not bitter but just....whatever, dude. Good for him.
No, I'm happy for Will....we never really got along at SNL because he took so many of my ideas, but.
Will was into a lot of bad drug stuff and I don't know if he still is. Actually, not true I happen to know he still is very much so.
Quinn later confessed that he wasn't actually accusing Ferrell of having a drug problem, but not before his Twitter rant got national media attention.
In a subsequent interview with New York Magazine, Colin insisted that his tweets were meant to be sarcastic, blamed the media for (perhaps intentionally) misconstruing their sincerity.
You know, I think the problem is that they're like, We gotta get something. Everyone is tweeting such boring stuff; we gotta pretend this is real just to create a thing, he told NYMag.
Some spotlight-seeking celebrities have gotten in on the feuding frenzy even without the help of Twitter. Carrie Fisher and William Shatner have recently made YouTube missives arguing the relative merit of Star Wars vs. Star Trek.
Fisher, of course, believes that Star Wars is far superior to Star Trek, claiming that Star Trek is not in the same league as the franchise that made her famous.
Shatner responded to Fisher's challenge to face-off in their old costumes - her in that famous metal bikini - by digging at Fisher's age and weight (she recently dropped several dress sizes).
My costume was made of a stretch material so there wouldn't be any difficulty in giving it a push here and a pull there, Shatner said in the video message.
But you in a bikini now that needs a little more than a push and pull. It needs a lot of uplift...I don't know whether we're ready for you in a bikini.
We're guessing Shatner and Fisher aren't really at odds with one another, and are just having a little bit of fun. But just because the established actors are more mature and sophisticated than some feuding reality stars doesn't mean they are ignorant to the benefits of a well-publicized battle: Fisher's latest book, Shockaholic, was published earlier this month, and she has been busy promoting it.
Coincidence? We think not.

Man in car boot lead horse through Kildare town, court hears
Published 08/01/2013 | 16:08
A MOTHER-OF-FOUR has been convicted of driving without due consideration after she was caught on the road with her husband in the car-boot, leading a horse.
Heather Josiah (29) pleaded guilty to the offence before Judge Desmond Zaidan, who was so astounded by the evidence, he asked Inspector Jim Doyle to repeat it.
At Athy District Court in Kildare today, the judge, asked “Is that for real?” and said the evidence sounded like a case from 1890 rather than 2012.
Gardai found Ms Josiah at the head of a long stream of slow-moving traffic on Farrington Road, Athy at 4.30pm on March 20 last year, and were surprised to see her husband sitting in the open boot of the green Peugeot 406, leading a horse on a rope.
Inspector Jim Doyle said a very resourceful garda on the scene managed to bring the horse to the Josiah family home, which was not far away.
Ms Josiah, Ardrew Court, Athy, was also before the court for failing to have two children restrained in the car on another date in Athy.
A two-year-old sat on Ms Josiah’s husband’s knee in the front seat and the other was behind the passenger seat.
Solicitor Matthew Byrne said Mr Josiah, who doesn’t read or write didn’t recognise the fixed charge fines when they came in the post and didn’t pass them on to his wife, so she hadn’t been able to pay them.
He said the mother of four, who is expecting her fifth child, is the only driver in the family while her husband is off the road, and said the couple, who are not working, now have a people-carrier to carry their children safely.
He admitted that the case was very unusual, but that he’d seen similar situations growing up in Dublin.
However, Judge Zaidan said the scenes were akin to what Mr Byrne’s great grandfather might have observed.
Questioned by the judge, Ms Josiah said the horse is currently in a field and is not tied to a car anywhere.
Ms Josiah, who has three previous road traffic convictions, also said she appreciates the importance of children wearing their seat-belt.
While the court was initially amused by the case, the Judge went on to observe that had any of the drivers honked their car horn, the horse could have gone out of control.
The situation could have “gone horribly wrong,” he said, convicting Ms Josiah of driving without due care and attention and of carrying and unrestrained child, and imposing fines totaling €600.


Sixers turnover problems continuePosted by Inside Hoops
Here’s the Philadelphia Inquirer reporting on one problem in particular that the 15-34 Sixers are facing:
The Sixers have a bad habit of giving the ball to their opponents. Their average of 17.2 turnovers per game is the highest in the NBA. The Sixers tied a season worst with 26 on Monday night.
Rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams had six turnovers. His last one, with 5.8 seconds left and the Sixers trailing by four, crushed any chance of a comeback. Nets guard Shaun Livingston stole the ball, was fouled, and made a pair of foul shots to make it a six-point game.
“You know it continues to haunt us,” [coach Brett] Brown said. “We have to get more responsible with the ball. I have to do a better job.”


Wexford Coroner's Court has heard how a major search was launched after a woman jumped from a passenger ferry as it approached Rosslare.
The inquest into the sad death of Eileen Keating (57) of 2 Tamar Road, Cheltenham, UK, first heard evidence from Seán Mccaffrey from Co Monaghan, who was working on the Isle of Inishmore ferry on November 6, 2010.
He described how he went outside for a smoke shortly after 6 a.m. when he saw a woman outside of the ferry railings. She was crouched down and holding on with her right hand. He then saw her jump into the water below.
Seán said he raised the alarm and another Irish Ferries employee who came out threw in a lifebuoy.
Inspector Pat Mcdonald read a statement from Stephen Mcgrath, duty captain of Isle of Inishmore that day. He said there 114 passengers on the ferry when it left Pembroke at 2.31 a.m.
He said that when the alarm was raised the proper procedures were put in place and the rescue services alerted. The ferry was stopped and its two rescue boats launched. The nearby Stena Europe also launched a rescue boat.
Two fishing vessels also became involved with the search, spearheaded by the Coast Guard's helicopter and Rosslare's lifeboat. At 7.27 a.m. the helicopter located Eileen Keating's body and directed the lifeboat to the area.

Ambulance personnel and gardai attend the scene of an Arklow lifeboat call out where a fishing trawler was in distress in the Irish sea.
A crew member had locked themselves in the wheelhouse and would not come out. Members of the lifeboat crew broke into the wheel house and towed the Trawler to Arklow port, a second trawler stood by to provide assistance.

Following a successful public demonstration at the 88th Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting November 2013, ISC’s Open Home Gateway Forum team has submitted its code for package signing and validation to the OpenWrt project. ISC is now disbanding the Open Home Gateway Forum since this code has been completed.
Comcast and ISC created the Open Home Gateway Forum (OHGF) to address problems in managing large numbers of home gateway devices. The Open Home Gateway Forum (OHGF) team created and demonstrated enhancements to OpenWrt that enabled a robust process for remote configuration and software upgrade. This could allow an ISP to securely update home gateway devices, and might be leveraged more broadly by OpenWrt to provide automatic software updates. This is important since so much customer premise equipment never receives a software update, creating significant future security vulnerabilities. This new feature can mitigate the risk of software never being updated, which has recently been in the news in an article by Bruce Schneier and in a malware attack affecting Internet devices.
The remote configuration and update process uses cryptographic signatures and checksum verification to ensure the integrity of the update source as well as the validity of the software downloaded. These extra security measures protect the home gateway from downloading or installing software delivered by or tampered with by any unauthorized party.
As the largest cable Internet Provider in North America, Comcast has a vested interest in solving this problem. One way they have chosen to address it by funding the development of a transparent open source solution.
OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution that runs on over 80 different manufacturer’s embedded systems. OpenWrt is an open source project, meaning that the source code is freely available, and they welcome contributions from contributors anywhere in the world. Many of the millions of home gateways connected to the Internet run software based on OpenWrt. Improvements made in OpenWrt can have a wide-ranging impact.
“We are part of a community working together to address a global Internet problem,” stated Gregers Petersen, OpenWrt Relationship Manager. “We welcome the support of, and collaboration with, ISC and Comcast. The open source model is once again proving to be the best way to tackle the really tough technical problems that affect us all.”
“OpenWrt is a vibrant open source project and their software is used by many of our Xfinity Internet customers as well as countless other Internet users,” said Jason Livingood, Vice President of Internet & Communications Engineering at Comcast. “We are happy that ISC was able to develop a unique way of secure remote configuration and update, since regular and automatic software updates are a critical part of ensuring the ongoing security of Internet-connected consumer devices.”
After working with the OHGF team, OpenWrt is continuing to add support for detecting and recovering from interrupted installs and is working on a way to safely do home gateway kernel upgrades. For more information about OpenWrt, or to contribute or download the software distribution, see http://www.openwrt.org.

Of Saul Phillips' playing skills, Bo Ryan said the engaging North Dakota State coach was once an injury away from being the starting point guard for the 31-0 UW-Platteville team that won the Division III national championship in 1995.
"He says it's more like the whole bus having an accident away from being the point guard," Ryan said, "but I try to humor him as much as I can."
Then there was this episode:
"We were playing somewhere," Ryan said. "(Phillips) must have had a lot of family there (and) they started chanting, 'We want Saul, we want Saul.'
"So, I said, 'Saul, come here.' Saul starts taking off his warm-ups. 'Saul, you see those people up there who are yelling? Go up there and see what they want.'"
Ryan, of course, is more than the University of Wisconsin coach who again has the Badgers a game away from the Sweet 16. He is the Godfather of Wisconsin basketball. Tell him that and he'll say, "How did you know I got into the olive oil business?"
Beyond the 700 victories and all the success at UW-Platteville, UW-Milwaukee and at the Madison mother ship, Ryan has been around long enough to have established a coaching tree with substantial roots.
Two of his protégés, Phillips and UWM's Rob Jeter, made the NCAA Tournament this year. Jeter and Phillips both played for Ryan at Platteville and coached with him in Milwaukee and Madison. Ryan's son, Will, is Phillips' assistant for the Bisons, who pulled the stunner Thursday night against Oklahoma.
By Phillips' success, wit and natural enthusiasm — those were bison horns he was flashing, just so you know — the Reedsburg native is the kind of guy you'd want coming home now that the Marquette job is open.
Nobody's having more fun than that guy.
"Listen, we get (only) so many chances to have this stage, right?" Phillips told the media in Spokane, Wash. "I'm going to enjoy it. This is great. And I think that those around me a little more probably realize that I don't have a lot of bad days.
"I've known since I was very, very young, third or fourth grade, that this was what I was going to do for a living. Are you kidding me? Here I sit with all you guys sitting there listening to me. This is stupid. I don't know how this worked out but, yeah, I'm going to enjoy it."
It is the UWMs and the North Dakota States we identify with at this time of the year. The Bison's upset isn't going to win you the $1 billion perfect-bracket pool any more than Mercer's sweet victory against Duke — seriously, is there a more insufferable college basketball team than Duke? — but they are the essence of March.
That he has played a part in it is immensely satisfying to Ryan.
"You know what, it's nice to have lasted this long," Ryan said. "It's hard in this profession. I don't know if anybody told the media, but winning is hard, surviving is hard, but it's a labor of love. It's what you choose to do."
No one had to remind Ryan that Hyman Roth said that in "Godfather II."
"And as I said before in a question that was asked about getting in the profession, mine was as a teacher first. I was hired as a teacher and given the basketball job at a junior high school.
"So I'm really happy where I am in this profession, because it's still all about teaching and coaching. And to have guys that either played for you, coached with you, worked with you, worked at your camps, did this or that, to see them out in the profession now doing things, that's pretty neat. That's really fun to see."

Dear Sir, I would like to discuss with you something very important again : Dear Sir, Following are my two Psychological test reports, one from Guwahati Psychiatric Hospital and the other from Apollo Hospitals, Chennai. 1) (Guwahati) ::: The test findings are suggestive of a diagnosis of Schizophrenia with features of severe anxiety and obsession. 2) (Apollo) ::: The neuropsychological report of Mr. xxxxxxxxx shows low average intellectual skills. His memory functions are at a low average level. His personality profile shows features of depression and a co-existent psychotic illness - schizoform with paranoid content. 1) Yesterday, u had advised me to go for Clomipramine cocktail. Sir, my over-all conditions (except Obsessions) are such that ESCITALOPRAM works good for me. Sir, whether Escitalopram can tackle Obsessions ? (Earlier I used to take 20mg Escitalopram per day but it didn't help me in obsessions but it treated my other conditions). Sir, my request to you is, whether you would advise me to go for a higher dose of Escitalopram or do u think the earlier combination of mine (Clomipramine 75 SR, Aripiprazole 15mg, Pregabalin 150mg, Clonazepam on sos) is better for me for all the mentioned conditions ? 2) Sir, do i need Valproate/Lamotrigine too ? If 'Yes', which one is better for me ? 3) I am a very depressed person, i dont like to go out of home out of social fear, i dont at all like taking bath, I dont like to brush my teeth.....Sir, are these 'Negative' symptoms of schizophrenia ? Sir, In the end , I would request you to kindly suggest me your BEST prescription for me which I shall discuss with my local doctor here. Thanks.

Independent College Consultant Marie Morris says it's never too early to start thinking about planning for college. She joined us to help simplify the college planning process with a grade-by-grade checklist for high school students.
College readiness at any grade
It’s October and the school year is underway. No matter what grade your high school or even middle school student is, there are things to be thinking about.
• Grades. Keep them up. It is easier to keep a GPA high than try to raise it later. Seek out help if you need it. Get to know teachers
• Get Involved. Find an activity, in school or out that sounds interesting. Try some new things. Don’t create a laundry list, but do what you love and love what you do. Try some volunteer work that looks like fun. The Hands On Portland website is a great place to look.
• Get to know your counselor. You never know what cool opportunities come across his/her desk.
• Grades. By the end of this year, half your high school career will be over, therefore half of your cumulative GPA is in the books.
• Activities. Again, do what you love and love what you do.
• Talk to your counselor about any awards or contest you might have won or career exploration.
• Start a resume of activities, honors awards and work experience.
• Attend the college fair Nov 1-2 at the Oregon Convention Center. Check out the National College Fair website for the list of colleges that will attend and to register. If your student is interested in performing arts, the Performing & Visual Arts College Fair is on Monday, Oct. 28th at the Portland Art Museum.
• PSAT test this week (October)
• Make a plan for testing in the spring. ACT or SAT?
• Get to know teachers. You may need some recommendations for college applications.
• Have the “money talk”. Parents, what is your expectation financially or otherwise in regards to your child’s college? It’s not an easy talk... but it's necessary.
• Visit colleges. There is a wide variety of colleges in Portland that can help identify the right fit of school.
• Summer of junior year, start looking at applications and work on the college essay. Make a goal to have it done before the beginning of your senior year.
• Re-take tests in the fall if necessary.
• Finish up college applications.
• Decide whether or not to apply early
• Request letters of recommendation if necessary and transcripts and test scores to be sent.
• January. File the FAFSA and any other financial aid forms necessary.
