You do not recognize your thoughts as nothing (as meaningless) because the thoughts you think appear to you as images. Images are very convincing and hold great authority. You think you see your thoughts because they are so vivid and detailed. This is the nature of illusion. This is how your “seeing” with physical eyes was made, to deliberately validate a self-made meaningless thought notion.  This world is physical engagement with our mental constructs.
We do not see what we think we see. The mental constructs we are fixated on are not real. The body’s eyes are not what really see. The body’s eyes are devoted servants to our own impulse to image-make. This visual perception takes the place of seeing, replacing true vision with illusions.
Our physical eyes see a collective illusion of which we are all agreeing to. A Course In Miracles Lesson 15 introduces the concept of image-making into our awareness. What you think you are seeing in your day-to-day life is actually an act of extremely intelligent and complex image-making. You may find it hard to believe you are capable of such complexity, but you are not. You are, in truth, as complex and as capable as God, because that is where you come from. You can conjure entire worlds. That is how powerful your thinking is.
Today’s idea may not have much meaning for you yet. You may not connect to it right awayproceed in this course, youe “light” episodes will not persist because they symbolize true perception. This means that true perception is not something that is perceived. It is simply known from a state of is-ness. Perceptions are always limited so as we approach true knowing, we will also know that true knowing is not our aim in this course. The aim for this course is aligning our perceptions into “right perception” to prepare ourselves to receive knowing as soon as that right perception has come into alignment with reality. We are learning how to make the contents of our minds a match for what reality is and to stop self-generating notions that are not a match with reality.
Reality is there always whether we see it or not. This course is teaching us how to let go of that which prevents us from seeing true reality. Perceiving reality is not the same as knowing it. Knowledge is not perceived. Knowledge is beyond perception in a state of being.
The exercises in A Course In Miracles are not designed to reveal knowledge to you. These exercises are here to prepare and condition your mind to lay the way for knowledge (presence) to flow in. It is not possible for a physical mind to embody knowing because the physical mind has come into being for the sole purpose of engaging in specific (limited) perceptions. But it is possible for the physical mind to grow calm and put down the activity of image-making, the activity of illusion making. What are you conjuring from your self-made interests and what is actually true? When we are able to discern this, knowledge is only one beat away.
ubjects for today’s idea. But it is necessary for you to continue looking at each object while you repeat the idea to yourself. Repeat the idea quite slowly. If you find your eyes glide away from an object in the midst of saying the lesson, consider the impatient state of your mind. Slow down and spend time with the lesson and the objects.
You will likely not be able to apply the idea to many things today because registering the object with the lesson may be challenging. Take your time. The tracking of the visual movement with the mental assertion is where the shift in understanding occurs. It feels like both a physiological and a mental event.
You can practice today’s lesson for less than a minute if it causes uneasiness. Try to practice three times today for one minute. If you feel very comfortable with it, practice more. But do not exceed four sessions. Also feel free to apply the idea as needed to any situation throughout the day.


Languages often come in two forms: Simplex - one communicator at a time, and duplex, two communicators simultaniously. Each has a very different style of communication, with duplex often being exclusively the realm of cyborgs and aliens.
A voice frequency (VF) or voice band is a communication technique involving the vibration of air via specialist organs or equipment to transmit information as sound. Typically, it ranges from 300Hz to 3400Hz though some languages are known to exceed these 'commonly audiable frequencies' either above or below for specialist reasons.
Commonly used for international trade, Common dominates voice frequency communication. It is a naturally formed simplex non-digital language which revolves around the exchange of linked ideas in specific order - one after the other to describe events in linear time.
Commonand translation software is available for those who cannot speak it. There are, however, a wide variety of dialects.
Hailing from a northern colony, Berechen emphasizes the shortening of phrasings and heavy use of idioms. It is generally sharper and less apologetic but also more emotional in its communication. Speech is often lazy, with elements of words skipped.
The common tongue of the Raiken and by extension, the Raiconian Alliance, Nulsaa Vi Raiken literally translates to 'Speak of Raiken'. By sound alone, it is a rather rough language. Visually, it is almost the same. This is partially due to the Raiken's rough nature, in which their words carry as much force as a punch.
Although Nulska vi Raiken isn't spoken much outside of Alliance space, it is basically a requirement for interacting with most Raiken, as 'Common' is not a common language to them. This makes learning the language rather difficult, especially when coupled with the face that most Raiken refuse to interact with other races for extended periods of time, let alone spend the time to teach their language.

an independent review group. Some of the very important recommendations on welfare, counselling and supports for those who exit the Defence Forces would not have got centre stage without the review group and the press on the issue from the House. I hope the recommendations will be acted upon. There are very important issues of welfare, health support and counselling for those traumatised not simply by the events of Jadotville but how they were treated subsequently and indeed the trauma visited on their families by how society treated them.
While those are part of what is at issue, the real core here is still that question of recognition. The report itself acknowledges, "The Jadotville experience was wilrs." Interestingly, the Minister himself pulled out this quote. Having had the experience of being silenced for so long, what people want now is that it be heard first of all and that it does not become invisible. That is why it is a concern for eight living members of the 33 who were recommended by Commandant Quinlan for the distinguished service medals and indeed the five recommended for military medals for gallantry. They felt seen by their commander and I am sure it was an important thing for them that he saw what they did and theirAs well as that collective recognition, it is very important to remember there is no question about that being deserved by all who received An Bonn Jadotville.
However, we must consider those specific people and their families. Senator Black is often better at reading the personal stories than I am. I tend to go to the policy. She shared with me the correspondence she has had with some of the people. Mr. Noel Carey talked of going in as a young man to be a peacekeeper and finding himself fighting for the survival of his friends, colleagues and those in his group.
There was correspondence from a woman, Helena Quinn, who writes about her father, Corporal Tadhg Quinn, and the impact it had on him all his life and what it meant for him. She wrote about the specific role he played with mortars and digging in defensive positions. All of that work was seen by their commander. That is why he recommended them and that is why it is still difficult.
It is appropriate that Colonel Pat Quinlan is nominated and that there is a recommendation for him to be awarded the distinguished service medal. He could also be honoured by recognition that, as a commander, he recognised the gallantry of those who served with him.
Neither those of us in the Seanad nor anyone else sought to make submissions or to in any way engage with the work of the independent review group because it is an independent review group. The independent review group has now made recommendations. There will now be a new potential medals board. The medals boards of the 1960s made their decisions but this medals board will also be independent of the independent review group. It will make its own decisions. It is perhaps important that we do not close the door in terms of what the medals board can do, should a new one be constituted, as the Minister has suggested. It will of course be looking to award the appropriate award to Colonel Pat Quinlan but it could and should be free to make decisions about what it might do in future. Again, the medals boards of the 1960s are fine and I know the suggestion is that they should not be revisited but I believe that door should not be closed.
UN peacekeeping is something that we are all proud of. Ireland has the longest unbroken service with the United Nations of any country. We have lost many people in peacekeeping, including 26 people in Congo alone. UN peacekeeping is different from other kinds of military service because it is not for interests or for benefit. It is in the service of peace and the protection of life. It is in the service of the support for civilian society and protection of civilians. We have played a particular role. It was regrettable that the narrative was placed in terms of the framings and was undermining. The work over five difficult days and over weeks of captivity in preserving and protecting the lives of colleagues was part of that peacekeeping mission and that sense of humanity. These soldiers served humanity and one another. They did not serve any interests. This was very much in spirit with the way they were directed to act and the way they bravely fought under the leadership of Colonel Pat Quinlan.
It was appropriate for the Minister to mention that Ireland is on the UN Security Council. It is important for us to remember the reason we are on the Security Council. One of the things is our role in disarmament and other reasons include our role in peacekeeping and peacebuilding. The role of Ireland in being a champion for peace and in not being subject to military interests is relevant as are the United Nations values of humanity and peace. It is appropriate that the Minister mentioned that he will look to find other ways to honour the men of Jadotville as part of our leadership of the Security Council in the autumn.
I thank the Minister for taking time out to be here this evening to listen to this debate and for the sincerity he is affording to this sad affair. It is disappointing that this is the third attempt at trying to address this issue. Unfortunately, for many, I am saddened to say, it falls sadly short of their expectations.
These 156 people fought side by side. There was no distinction between any of them. They all hty. The manner of the events subsequent to their experience and their experience upon their return home have saddened so many. Many Members have talked about it eloquently this evening. It is sad that this is the third attempt at this since 1961. We end up with a 500-page report that falls short, disappoints and saddens so many people. That is most disappointing.
I welcome the sincerity of the Minister and his formal apology this evening to the survivors and the families of those who are still around. I honestly do not know where we go from here. Normally, when reports are written there is an appeal mechanism built in whereby people who are disappointed or angered about the outcome have an opportunity to make comments or a submission. I am unsure whether the door is closed in respect of that process.
I note President Higgins is the supreme commander. Perhaps some form of recognition through the President, who is highly respected by so many in this country, and rightly so, would be of some comfort to the families. Perhaps some form of memorial would be adequate. I do not have the answers but I call on the Minister to see what the State could do to finally bring closure and to recognise the bravery of the 39 people who sadly lost their lives and to all the other people, families and survivors who are still with us.
It is very sad. Other Members have spoken. Senator Craughwell spoke passionately about the content of the report in respect of Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas and local authority members throughout the country and the question mark put over their sincerity. I honestly did not think it was necessary in the comments. To put it mildly, it was highly disappointing.
We have not had much time to digest the 500-page report. Senator Wall outlined this in his contribution, as did others. I hope that with the passage of time over the summer we can revisit this. I have every confidence that the Minister will come forward with proposals that will go some way to satisfying the needs of those who campaigned so hard and who have been involved in this sad affair from the get-go.
I welcome the apology of the Minister in his contribution. I thank him for his fulsome apology and I hope it gets into the public domain because it is important that we send out the message. I wish to acknowledge that the Minister is initiating the review and the ceremonies he proposes to hold in the autumn.
I wish to acknowledgeKehoe. He recommended to Cabinet the presentation of An Bonn Jadotville and was the first Minister of State to do so. He presented the medals to those who served in Jadotville. I wish to acknowledge the good, in that regard.
I have spoken to some men today and I will come to that. No criticism of today's report is aimed at Colonel Pat Quinlan and there is no implied or explicit criticism of him. I salute the fact that the Cathaoirleach brought the names of the veterans into the roll of honour of the Seanad. That was great. I wish to acknowledge the pioneering work of Senator Craughwell in this area and his real, emotional, genuine and cerebral commitment.
The review group was considering giving distinguished service medals to 33 personnel and military medals for gallantry to five. Those people held out for five days between 13 and 17 September 1961. They only surrendered when overwhelming odd

Phil Baty, rankings editor, Times Higher Education, says:
"New Zealand has two institutions in the table, which is good news, but both will be 51 next year and therefore excluded from consideration. So the table should serve as a warning: it is full of younger and higher-placed institutions from strengthening economies that have focused resources on building world-class universities. New Zealand, take note: competition is only going to intensify as more nations and institutions join the race."
"The academy's t. .
"The Times Higher Education 100 Under 50 shows clearly that exciting new powers are emerging in the global academy and the old guard cannot afford to rest on their laurels.
"The data also prove that nations canp. The ancient seats of learning are vulnerable to new competitors as never before: the race for future dominance in higher education and research is wide open."

Dr. Patricia Matthews, '73, the Nolen A. and Thelma I. Cunningham Chair, professor of business administration, and the cntroduced the students to the program by working with others in the department to set up a campus visit of alumni who have gone through the program.
Ernst and Young has 100,000 employees in over 700 locations within 140 countries. According to the company's website, 'Ernst and Young es.'
The qualifications needed by the students to get into the program included an accounting or financial background, scoring above a 560 on the GMAT and a high GPA.
Tinney and Heltzel will be working in the Cleveland office while Buzzacco will be working in the Akron office beginning in August.
The students agree that Mount Union has prepared them both in and out of the classroom for successful careers.


Needless to say I had an amazing time and was genuinely humbled by the baby shower. Not just the effort that had gone into organising everything (and keeping 97% of it a total surprise) but by the multiple trains travelled, taxi's taken and babysitters booked, just for my friends to be there. Baby and I were certainly overwhelmed by all of the love!

"We are doing this as a show of universal support," she said. "We brainstormed about it and did the research."
Williams said SAFD's badge, still being made, is interesting because it has three components that represent firefighters' "tools of the trade."
"It's the only badge in town that is going to be a more contemporary badge," she said. "The others all wanted to have a Western throwback look so they look old-timey."
"It's a combination of all of our rank badges," said Joseph Arrington, SAFD public information officer. "It will be customized with each individual's rank and badge number or the 300 for the Tricentennial."
"It's an amazing honor to help the law enforcement community in San Antonio celebrate the Tricentennial," said Williams. "It's and I'm proud to be a part of what will now become a small piece of history for every law enforcement officer in town."

In a renewed effort to have a helicopter link between Malta and Gozo, the government is carrying out a feasibility study to restart a service last operated in 2006
The last time Malta and Gozo were connected by a helicopter service was in 2006 when Spanish company Helisureste ended operations after just 18 months.
For the past seven years, there was no scheduled air link between Malta and Gozo. The heliport in the outskirts of Xewkija is operated by Gozo Heliport Ltd, a government company that was recently transferred within the remit of the Gozo Ministry.
Mizzi said that State company Malta Medair was in contact with various aviation companies, including Airbus, on the most suitable helicopters that could potentially service the two islands.

Just as He used David's sling, Gideon's pots, Balaam's donkey, and the staff of Moses, God used the chains that bound Paul and his imprisonment in Rome as the most effective tool to spread the good news of the death and Resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ to many Roman guards. Paul's witness even invaded the household of Caesar himself.
God is able to open prison doors as well as men's hearts when a man or woman is ready and willing to be a prisoner in chains for Jesus Christ and become a living sacrifice, ready and willing to witness to the truth of the gospel of God.
One benefit of the various imprisonments to which Paul was subjected were the number and variety of people with whom he was able to share the good news of salvation. And of course, the various 'prison' epistles he wrote during his detentions, are profitable for our own instruction, reproof, doctrine, correction, discipline, godly obedience, and training in righteousness.
But one amazing and exciting by-product of Paul's imprisonment was the effect that it had on most of his Christian brothers and sisters. Rather than causing them to become fearful and faint-hearted, they gathered courage and began to speak out boldly about their faith in Christ. They started to be increasingly confident, as they fearlessly and confidently shared the message of God's grace.
We live in increasingly dangerous and distressing times and none of us know what tomorrow may bring in our home or in our country, but never forget that God is in ultimate control and can usees. Let us beChrist and become a living sacrifice,the wonderful witness of Paul and for the many instances where You took simple people, absurd equipment, and seemingly inappropriate circumstances, to forward Your plans and purposes. Fulfil Your will in my life, I pray. May I be a willing witness in whatever circumstances I may find myself. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

ZenithOptimedia expects global adspend to reach $544 billion in 2015, a 4.4 per cent rise year on year.
In April last year ZenithOptimedia forecasted growth of 5.8 per cent for 2015 and at the time it was the third consecutive revision upwards. Since then the forecast has been downgraded three times.
According to the report, the UK is "booming" because of the "rapid adoption" of online ads.
In the UK adspend grew approximately 8.4 per cent in 2014, and ZenithOptimedia said it expects a similar increase for 2015.
The UK is currently the fifth largest ad market at $22.6 billion, however ZenithOptimedia predicts the country will rise to fourth place above Germany by 2017 as UK adspend will increase to $26.8 billion.
In terms of adspend by medium ZenithOptimedia said mobile internet would take a greater share of the market. Mobile’s share is expected to increase by 7.4 percentage points, taking 12.7 per cent share of global adspend by 2017.
ZenithOptimedia said mobile internet is growing nine times faster than desktop internet. The report forecasts that mobile advertising will grow by an average of 39.8 per cent a year, while desktop internet is expected to grow at an average of 4.6 per cent a year.
However, this growth is slower than predicted last year when ZenithOptimedia said mobile advertising will grow by an average of 50 per cent a year between 2013 and 2016. It expected 8 per cent a year.
Global TV adspend is expected to take a smaller share of the market by 2017, although it remains the dominant advertising medium.
The report said it had a 39.4 per cent share of global adspend in 2014, and predicts this to be 37.3 per cent in 2017.
ZenithOptimedia forecasts TV adspend will grow by an average of 3 per cent a year through to 2017.
Steve King, the worldwide chief executive at ZenithOptimedia said: "While television will remain dominant for many years to come, advertisers are i, giving them new opportunities to communicate brand values to consumers."

While the 12-inch MacBook is full of Apple's latest technology, such as the Force Touch trackpad and a freshly designed keyboard, it is also more advanced in its minimalism. The slimmest and lightest MacBook yet, the new model is built for a wireless world, and includes just a single port. While Apple has a history of simplifying its devices by gradually removing components like optical drives, Ethernet and FireWire, trimming down to just one port is more than just an abandoning of certain technologies, it marks a march away from wired life altogether.
Apple has a solution: you don't really need all of those cables. As frustrating as it might be for now to have a solution that takes you back to the source of the problem, Apple could prove to be right in time. It has sacrificed functionality in the present for a leadership role in the future before (the original iPhone did not support already-popular 3G service at launch, MacBook Air does not include disc drive, etc.), and it has paid off, in part due to its pushing of the issue. Until it does this time, however, you might want to hold onto your cable compatible devices.

Slought is pleased to announce "Poetry, Disability, and Resilience," a conversation with poet Andrea Applebee about the relation between writing, loss, and survival, on Monday November 6, 2017 from 6-7:30pm. The event will include a reading by Applebee and a conversation with Orchid Tierney, David Ting and Jean-Michel Rabaté. Andrea Applebee, who taught at Penn in 2011-12, is now living in Athens. Her recent collection of poemsIn addition to the letter of the poems themselves, the conversation will also engage the author's resilience and creativity. Applebee will share about the constraints met and overcome by writers with a disability like near blindness, and the altered sense of time, instinct, and relation to others that comes with doing things the "non-sighted" way. Throughout her gradual loss of vision, which began at the age of five, Applebee has grappled with limits and loss in a way that enables her to reinvent her identity and self-worth.


Reassigned reference still has limited lifetime?
We can see that at the end of block r doesn’t hold reference to x, since it was unconditionally reassigned. Although, this code doesn’t compile, since r has to live no longer then x. Is this intentional?
Yes. x lives only within its scope and by definition can’t live any longer than that.
Everything borrowed from x in any way, no matter how weirdly or indirectly, has to be as limited as x itself.
Once you borrow something, there’s no direct way to extend lifetime of that borrow. You can either change the program to create a longer lifetime (e.g. create an object earlier, in outer scope), or create a copy (.clone() or derive Copy).
The question is, why the lifetime is still limited when borrow is released? As you can see, x is not referenced in any way, directly or indirectly, after the block, but compiler ignores this fact.


The project includes using carport builders to install solar carports at five different lots across the campus. The carports are projected to produce more than 15,000 megawatt hours of power per year or about 5 percent of the campus’ annual electricity usage, according to the project website. This could mean a savings of $10 million over the next 25 years, helping keep tuition costs down.
MSU Board of Trustees members in September 2015, according to the project website. That agreement is being developed and will be owned by South Bend, Ind.-based Inovateus Solar LLC and Vancouver-based Alterra Power Co. The partnership will allow the university to buy the electricity produced from the solar arrays at a 25-year fixed price.
While MSU will cover the cost (less than $2.5 million) of connecting the solar arrays to the university’s power grid, all other construction and maintenance costs (about $20 million) will be paid for by the investor companies. The solar, but the installation could begin producing power as early as this summer.


sphingolipids. This study describes the clinical and neurophysiological phenotype of a German family with a novel SPTCL2 mutation (c.529A > G; N177D) associated with HSAN1 and the biochemical characterization of this mutation.) The mutaion was identified in five family members that segregated with the diesease. Patients were characterized genetically and clinically for neurophysiological function. Their plasma sphingolipid profiles were analyzed by LC–MS. The biochemical properties of the mutation were characterized in a cell-based activity assay. Affected family members showed elevated 1-deoxysphingolipid plasma levels. HEK293 cells expressing the N177D SPTLC2 mutant showed increased de novo 1-deoxysphingolipid formation, but also displayed elevated canonical SPT activity and increased C20 sphingoid base production. This study identifies the SPTLC2 N177D variant as a novel disease-causing mutation with increased 1-deoxySL formation and its association with a typical HSAN1 </s> Hatem Masmoudi is a Profressor in Tunisia at University of Sfax. He studied towards his MD and PhD at the Faculty of Medicine of Sfax and the Faculties of Science at Sfax and Tunis. He then went on to train at the Necker Hospital and Pasteur Institutes in Paris.
Prof. Masmoudi heads a research unit which focuses on autoimmunity and immunogenetic.
Prof. Masmoudi took time out to chat to the Immunopaedia team about autoimmunity and how his research has advanced the field.the term used for immune responses directed against self-antigens. The immune system with its innate and adaptive compartments ensure the protection of the organism and its defense against external and internal aggressors such as microbes or tumors.
Put in place from the embryonic life, this state of tolerance to the self is maintained during the whole life through complex and redundant mechanisms that control the production of lymphoid cells and the selection of their repertoire as well as the successive steps of their activation and proliferative responses.
In fact, self-tolerance is not so strict and absolute since self-reactive T and B lymphocytes are found in all individuals and autoantibodies (natural antibodies, anti-idiotypic antibodies) are produced almost continuously; and these self-reactive lymphocytes and “normal/natural” auto-antibodies do not cause any pathologic manifestation.
In some individuals, autoimmune response against one or several auto-antigen(s) /organ(s) /tissue(s) is established over time and accompanied by tissue damage and pathological manifestations indicative of the onset of autoimmune disease(s).
Autoimmune diseases are rare but chronic and often disabling diseases. They can affect almost all constituents (organs, tissues, antigens) of the body making them the third pathogenic process in human after cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Why does autoimmunity develop in some individuals and not others? Autoimmune diseases are very complex; their development involvewho develop autoimmune diseases must have the double misfortune to carry multiple susceptibility genes in their genome and to encounter aggravating environmental factors.
Viral infections can also act by disturbing the idiotypic network. Anti-viral antibodies may carry an idiotope (antigenic determinant on variable regions of immunoglobulins) similar to the epitope (antigenic determinant: the small portion of antigen molecule on which specific antibody binds) of an auto-antigen, the Ab2a anti-idiotypic antibodies normally produced in this anti-viral immune response will be in the same time autoreactive antibodies. In a same way, the Ab2b anti-idiotypic antibodies, normally produced as internal image (by their idiotope) of a viral epitope, may have a paratope (antibody site) that recognizes a self-epitope and thus also act as auto-antibodies.
Except the “autoimmune lympho-proliferative syndrome” (ALPS) and the “autoimmune poly-” (APECED) caused by a mutation respectively in the Fas gene (a gene controlling apoptosis) and in the auto-immune regulator gene (AIRE, a gene controlling the expression of peripheral self-antigens in the thymus), all other autoimmune diseases are caused by the combination of multiple anomalies in a large number of genes.
What autoimmune diseases does your research group focus on?Our research group is mainly focusing on two organ-specific autoimmune diseases, i.e.; pemphigus foliaceus and type 1 diabetes, one non-organ-specific autoimmune disease, i.e.; lupus erythematosus, and two auto-inflammatory diseases, i.e.; ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease.
How has your research contributed to knowledge towards autoimmune disease? As already mentioned, autoimmune diseases are complex diseases. The gained knowledge and deciphering the physio pathologic mechanisms, including genetic factors, of these diseases is advancing step by step, cumulating and integrating results obtained during years and decades by hundreds and thousands of research groups from all over the world.

Yes it’s me again, been a while since I blogged due to college commitments once again. However, the next two days are study days so there are no classes for me in order for them to align with Canadian Thanksgiving.
I don’t think it really counts as a reading week in my books yet. The last two days have been really good for me and it’s a sign that this semester is going well compared to the last.
Yesterday I aced my prescription orders that I had to dispense in Institutional dispensing lab due to all the time I put in to modifying them, and I am pretty much done the ones for next week. I still find myself checking them everyday for errors. Accuracy is a must! If I find any more issues within the next 24 hours I might have to use one of my study days to go up to the campus and fix them.
Today is Joakim Brodén’s birthday so I went to school in my sparkly Sabaton shirt with the camo pants I bought weeks ago. My signature outfit is almost complete, it just needs the Sabaton S wristband. Thank the Panzer Battalion those wristbands are back in stock on their website, I ordered myself the golden one a week ago. I can’t wait until it arrives, I’ve been wanting one of those since I learned they wear them on stage. I blasted Sabaton on shuffle to and from the campus, but I find that the way it was shuffling the songs on my way to the campus was way better. My iPod decided to play a lot of my favourites first, and even did Dominium maris Baltici and The Lion from the North together as it should be. In fact yesterday, when I was just let my iPod play shuffle for all my music, it started with Primo Victoria. Perfect.
Also I bought a few albums and one really vital arrived today.
Looking forward to listening to Lordi’s new album which I might do tomorrow evening; hopefully it’s not a disappointment this time because I feel like Scare Force One I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy it. The Holographic Priniciple is also on its way home too.
I’m going back to those Revlon lipsticks I get at the drugstore. Not only are there some colours I’ve tried, bought and loved, but it also works like lip balm. I think I’ll just save a place like Sephora for more one time application per day such as eye shadow/liner and blush; since those are the only things I’ve bought there and have worked out for me.
Since I get a teeny bit of time off until next Tuesday, I was thinking of using that (when I’m not studying or doing assignments) is to finish up the Omega DLC article and get back into writing The Warlord’s Prize. I feel like I’m long overdue to publish a new chapter and I have been working on it in bits and pieces now that the semester’s workload is building up. The last chapter was very convenient that I got it up in the middle of September since things were still really light. College is always like that the first month of a semester, but since it’s October now, more of my time is being crammed with work since I’m trying to make up for some of the losses and somewhat low marks I got last semester.
Well, I’m off to also write a little rant about something I’ve been talking to my friend about at lunch today, and I think it needs to be let out.
 But the eye shadows, eyeliners and blush that I got there, I love them ❤ been using them ever since the day of purchase. Lol yep welipsticks. I like balms that have colour to them and you can find them at Shoppers Drug Mart. Not sure if Sephora sells anything similar yet. In fact there's one colour I've been meaning to buy again that I know you and one other person liked.Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving too!


Featured » Blog » DISA: New STIGs Include Ubuntu, an Embedded Operating System. Because the Best OS is the One You Don't Have to Worry About.
August 14, 2018 Jared Ruckle
How much value do you get from managing an operating system? For a growing number of IT pros, the answer is "zero."
We've heard that answer across companies in the Fortune 500. And today, it seemscame to the same conclusion.
Agency leaders realized that the role of an OS has changed, so they decided to update the guidelines that govern operating systems. The end result: the certification of a new Linux distribution, Ubuntu from Canonical.
The certification of Ubuntu is a small change that's having a big impact. Let's start with the news of the day.
 https://t.co/mMYr3GHypb
— Fast Company (@FastCompany) July 5, 2018
DISA STIG: Ubuntu is Now Certified for Use. Here's Why that Matters.
Why is this a big deal? There's an entire category of products that use Ubuntu. Previously, these tools were off-limits to government agencies. Now that Ubuntu is certified, agency teams can evaluate these products for many scenarios. Many of the most popular solutions that are now eligible for consideration have their roots in Cloud Foundry (CF).
In the world of Cloud Foundry, the operating system is embedded as part of the platform. It works like this:
The OS is packaged as a stemcell. The stemcell includes the OS, release software, and a manifest file.
The stemcell runs on the VMs that power Cloud Foundry.
Layers of automation manage the stemcell and underlying cloud infrastructure. The platform also gathers logs, provides high availability features, and handles scaling.
Let's focus on Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF), the top commercial distribution of Cloud Foundry.
Developers like the automation and the bundled features of Pivotal Cloud Foundry. With PCF, their apps "just work." And they don't have to spend time managing the guts of their software stack.
Both options remove toil and grunt work for the developer. But there's a larger organizational benefit that federal teams are realizing with these tools. They help engineering teams achieve continuous (daily) Authority to Operate (ATO).
Continuous ATO with Pivotal Cloud Foundry
Highly automated platforms - with an embedded OS - automate much of the undifferentiated work away for the engineer. That's a productivity benefit. There's also a significant security benefit. Which brings us to ATO.
What's "Authority to Operate"? Nick Sinai, a former White House deputy CTO, wrote up a wonderful post summarizing the process. Key excerpt:
"."
Sinai continues:
A"System Security Plan." Said plans often run to hundreds of pages! (The instructions for writing such a plan is 48 pages by itself).
When something is difficult, the best idea is often to automate it. That's precisely what Pivotal Cloud Foundry does: it automates the ATO workflow for application teams.
With Cloud Foundry, the vast majority of the required controls are met by the platform itself. Application teams have shaved months off the ATO process as a result.
Now, the app owner need only account for a small subset of controls (say 10%). Agencies can quickly grant ATO without having to review the entire package each time.
There's even guidance published on what makes an app "Rapid ATO" eligible:
Pivotal Cloud Foundry covers the first item, and helps a great deal with the second. Any number of open-source CI tools will do for #3. (We recommend Concourse.) And finally, "API-first" calls are a best practice pattern for modern apps.
At Pivotal we like to say "go fast while you go secure." The experience here with federal agencies is a classic example of this in action.
Consider Crunchy Data, a Pivotal partner with one of the top PostgreSQL distributions. Crunchy achieved ATO status inside a highly regulated federal agency in a mere 17 days.

We Look After the Operating System (So You Don't Have to)
The OS no longer matters to modern development and operations teams. Their time and attention is now spent up the stack, at the application level.
Of course, someone still needs to tend to the embedded operating system. (It just shouldn't be you.) For cloud-native workloads, Canonical, the firm behind Ubuntu, is leading the charge.
The drudgery of managing an OS is invisible to Pivotal customers through our relationship with Canonical. The embedded OS within Pivotal Cloud Foundry (Ubuntu) is regularly patched and updated. If someone discovers an issue, Pivotal works with on-call engineers from Canonical. Our teams jointly remediate the situation.

The deployment toolchain Cloud Foundry BOSH manages the entire rollout, including the embedded OS. Planned updates are highly automated and effortless. CVEs can be patched by operations teams quickly, with zero downtime. We described our process for patching Spectre and Meltdown in a recent blog post. The image below helps explain the flow as well.
The Embedded OS and Next-Generation Immutable Infrastructure
The main questions we hear today: "How do I scale this model?" "I keep reading about these security breaches. How does cloud-native help me reduce risk?"
Here's how. Platforms powered by an embedded OS help engineering teams automate and scale with high control.
What do we mean by control? It's "The Three Rs of Enterprise Security":
You can redeploy your platform from a known good state any time you want, with zero downtime. When you repave systems often, you mitigate the risk from advanced persistent threats. This class of malware thrives on stagnancy. You have the power to deny APTs the conditions they need to inflict damage. (One highly regulated bank repaves their entire environment weekly, during business hours. TOS.)
And that's why the future is bright for embedded operating systems.
Today's immutable infrastructure practices ease server wrangling and streamline configuration management. Tomorrow's leaders will adopt cloud-native security models atop many abstractions, specifically: containers, application platforms, and functions.
And then never think about an OS ever again.

This is the opening of Treadstone, the deadly serious spy series USA Network spun off from The Bourne Identity in 2019. Swap out a few key details, though—the SAS for the CIA; South African white supremacists for the KGB—and it could just as easily have set the stage for teen spy drama Alex Rider, now on the free streaming service IMDbTV.
For anyone familiar with Anthony Horowitz’s long-running YA series of the same name, this might be surprising. Slick as the series’ eponymous hero is, after all, he still got his start as a Y2K-era teen spy whose missions generally hinged on how many grappling hook yo-yos, tubes of metal-dissolving zit cream, and diamond-edged buzzsaw Discmen he could cram into his pockets. As far as adaptations might go, never mind The Bourne Identity. Gameboy geiger counters? That’s straight-up Spy Kids territory, my friends. And that, for better or worse, is exactly what fans got in 2006, with the daffy, Alex Pettyfer-starring film, Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker. A blockbuster cast, sure—yes, that is Bill Nighy you spot, and Ewan MacGregor, and Alicia Silverstone, and Stephen Fry, and Missi Pyle—but the only thing any of them are there for is a goofy good time.
This all would be bad enough (as a marker for both the level and the flavor of bad guy violence the audience should brace themselves for, we’re shown Alex’s uncle getting shot, point blank, early in the first episode), but this new Alex Rider isn’t interested in painting the world in black and white. As much violence as Alex might eventually endure at the hands of Greif and his villainous lackeys, he spends the first few episodes suffering just as much at the hands of the SAS itself, who first extort him to join their cause by threatening to deport his guardian and remand him to foster care if he doesn’t agree to help them, and who then proceed to kidnap and torture him as a “test” of the spy skills he didn’t know his uncle had trained him to develop. Not to be outdone by a bunch of spies who have so thoroughly lost the thread they’re recruiting kids, the rich family that Alex’s cover story makes him part of turns out to have a daughter whose friends’ idea of a good time is tricking poors like Alex into playing prey in The Most Dangerous Game.
Like I said: Pure Bourne Identity, with just a hint of ELITE. The bad guys are bad, but the good guys aren’t much better. And given how we’re meant to root for a hero who’s been tortured and manipulated into doing any heroing in the first place, we in the audience don’t come off that great, either.
On the one hand, taking the gritty cynicism of The Bourne Identity (and, more specifically, Treadstone) and applying it to a premise as innately goofy as Alex Rider might seem too absurd to countenance. As Carmen, Juni, Kim and K.C. (Undercover) have established, teen spy stories are meant to be fun. Teen spies aren’t real! And if they were, the governments who were recruiting them really would be crossing every moral line imaginable.
And yet, it’s 2020. The reality we’re living in is absurd, and the moral lines Western governments are unwilling to cross turn out to be few are far between. What’s more, the idea that a fascist, white supremacist supervillain might be gathering resources in an isolated fortress and training privileged teens to idolize Hitler and return to the world to use their wealth and the chaos-spreading tools of the social internet to spread his message, that’s, well … depressingly believable. (“From Facebook data to internet oversight,” one cogent instructor at Point Blanc tells her students midway through the season, “what we can see is that, if your message is strong enough, you can take away people’s liberties, and they will applaud you for doing it.”) Look, I don’t like it either! But if watching 2020 torturously unfold for the last eleven months has convinced me of anything, it’s that the existence of rich teen Nazis with a chip on their shoulder and the will to wreck the world ought to be taken much more seriously than any of us might want to believe. Treadstone-Alex Rider gets it.
Of course, Alex Rider is still a spy drama, and as such, is obliged to have its characters make a lot of silly decisions for the sake of plot. But while the inclination might be to blame the inevitable unraveling of Alex’s cover on the fact that Alex is a teen (who almost immediately spills all his spy secrets to his teen best friend (Brenock O’Connor), who in turn almost immediately starts making a secret YouTube video about the life of Alex Rider: Teenage Spy), the truth of the matter is that it’s the egregious short-sightedness of all the adults in these teens’ lives, adults who should just fucking know better, that mucks things up from go. Which, honestly, at this moment in history, feels less like a narrative flaw and more like a grim nod at precisely how we got where we are. The adults in charge—everywhere! for decades!—have done a shit job at taking care of the world, even when they should all know so much better. Who’s to say any of us might not someday have to fashion an ironing board into a snowboard to escape the machine guns of a snowbound mad scientist’s private guard, or fight our [spoiler] to the death in the middle of a high school dance? Honestly, it all tracks.
That said, there are a few elements that jangle more than they should. For one thing, viewers unfamiliar with the Alex Rider books are unlikely to grasp the extent to which his uncle is meant to have secretly trained him for spy work while he was growing up—when Alex reveals just how hardened he is, while being tortured in Episode 2, it comes as a real shock. Too, while Ronke Adekoluejo is a welcome addition to the ensemble as Jack Starbright, an American grad student employed by the Rider family who becomes Alex’s adoptive guardian after his uncle’s death, there are parts of her arc that just ticked boxes when she was a white women—having her visa status tied to her role as a British family’s live-in help, for example, or having that same status used as a threat to push Alex into doing sketchy spy stuff—that hit different when she’s Black, and the show doesn’t really seem to understand that. This is frustrating, as its characterization of Greif and his master plan seems to indicate at least some comprehension of the threat that simmering white supremacism still poses for the world at large, but I suppose one can always hope that a second season could give the writers a chance to reimagine Adekoluejo’s Jack with more thoughtful specificity.
That note of hope is a good one to end on: IMDbTV is new to the original content game, and if Alex Rider is any indication, they’ve got a solid sense of the quality of storytelling they’re seeking out. Hopefully, Alex Rider will get the second season it deserves—it certainly has more story to tell—and hopefully, the streamer’s upcoming Leverage reboot will prove just as broadly entertaining. All that might be a lot to ask of 2020, but 2021? Let’s aim high.
Update: Fans old and new can breathe a sigh of relief: Alex Rider has officially been renewed for a Season 2. Eagle Strike, here we come!

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Russia's 0.75% effective Monday, its fifth cut since April. The bank said it decided to make "a more cautious cut," news reports said, after trimming the rate by half a percentage point in each of the four previous moves. Economists at Danske Bank in Copenhagen said the the rate cut was not a big surprise "as the central bank had earlier indicated that it was looking to lower its key refinancing rate further on the back of declining inflationary pressures." The cut, however, "came a little earlier than we had anticipated as inflation still stood at 12% in July," they wrote.

Bill Filed to Block TikTok Access on State Phones, Computers
Dec 7, 2022 Jerry CoxLegislatureArkansas Legislature, CCP, China
On Monday Sen. Gary Stubblefield (R — Branch) and Rep. Mary Bentley (R — Perryville) filed S.B. 4 to restrict access to TikTokowned by the State of Arkansa application boasts a billion users worldwide, and 135 million in the U.S., but many Americans are bothered by the application's possible ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
The Chinese company ByteDance owns TikTok. Last week FBI Director Christopher Wray voiced concerns about the CCP's ability to influence ByteDance and TikTok.
The concerns are similar to those raised about Facebook's and Twitter's abilities to harvest user data and display or suppress information in their news feeds.
If the Chinese Communist Party can influence TikTok, the CCP may be able to manipulate content and influence users on the world's largest social media platform.
S.B. 4 prohibits state employees and contractors from downloading or using the TikTok application on a device that is owned or leased by the State of Arkansas.
The bill does not ban TikTok for every Arkansan, but it does prevent government employees and contractors — such as public school teachers or people who work for government agencies — from using TikTok on phones or computers that belong to the State of Arkansas.

In the circular issued today ( 11 April), the DGHS informed that the restrictions imposed on traveling between districtacross the country should remain unchanged until further notice."
It added that if any person is found to have traveled unauthorized crossing district borders or even within the district from travel restricted areas, such incidents should be carefully assessed for the need of quarantining and appropriate action should be take and also should be communicated to the Officer-in-Charge of the area police for appropriate action."
The new circular is a deviation from the one he issued on 8 April which stated ," There is no need for quarantining any person who has traveled out of the residing district or returning home from another district. This include those who have traveled to districts identified as high risk for COVID-19."

Like other technologies such as Serial ATA, holographic storage has its roots in consumer-based products. The charge-coupled devices (CCD) and LCDs found in digital cameras are used in holographic storage to read the data back. The drives will be costly, but the price is expected to fall once more vendors adopt holographic storage.
Storage watchers hold out the most hope for a technology under development at InPhase Technologies, a Bell Labs spinoff. Called polytopic recording, this holographic approach records through the depth of the media in three dimensions. Holography records and reads 1 billion bits of data with each flash of light, InPhase says. To record a holographic image, a laser beam is split in two - the signal beam carries the data; the reference beam positions where the data is written and reads it. The data is arranged in a checkerboard pattern of light and dark pixels, each pixel being formed when the two beams intersect.
Not everyone is sold on the potential of holographic storage. worries about a host of issues, including how long the data can be preserved. (InPhase says at least 50 years on its technology.) "The densities are not that impressive yet and neither is the capacity. Assuming the persistence problem is fixed, will the densities and capacities be a step function improvement? Just a little better won't be enough to justify change," he says.
To address the proprietary issue, Optware, FujiFilm and CMC Magnetics, among others, formed the Holographic Versatile Disk Alliance to work on standardization. And, in January, Optware submitted its technology to industry association Ecma International as the basis of a proposed standard. </s> Mehac Team draws its strength from


Book Review : The Humble Beginnings of Air Pollution in London
June 23, 1987|LEE DEMBART
To many Angelenos, air pollution and its control sound like relatively recent problems due largely to automobiles and industrial polluters. In fact, while Los Angeles experiences a particularly modern form of air pollution--photochemical smog--dirty air and its effects on health have been known, brooded about and legislated against for hundreds of years.
The British have had long experience with air pollution. (The word smog was coined in 1905 in London as a combination of smoke and fog, and the word has spread to include circumstances where neither smoke nor fog is involved, such as in Los Angeles.)
London has been troubled by smoke and fog since the 14th Century. Pollution became a real problem by the 17th Century, but it was 200 years later that laws were passed to try to reduce it. Even then, it was not until the Great Smog of 1952, when the air turned black for a week and deaths soared, that serious legislative efforts got under way. As usual, each generation has to learn anew what its predecessors had already learned.
Then as now, polluters were none too quick to do right. They sought to evade the laws when they could. The 1891 act declared that "any chimney sending forth black smoke might be deemed a nuisance," and the Chelsea Borough Council sued the Underground Electric Railways of London because of the smoke from its power plant. The railways got out of it, however, because the smoke from their chimneys was not black. It was dark brown. This defect of the law was not repaired until well into the 20th Century.
Oddly, Brimblecombe writes, London's success in reducing smoke since 1952 has only partly solved the air-pollution problem. Less smoke means more sunlight, and more sunlight means more photochemical smog--ozone--of the Los Angeles variety. In one particularly bad photochemical episode in 1976, Brimblecombe says, "On some days a brownish hue could be observed close to the horizon." Sound familiar?
It's alarming to realize that even though people have known about the danger of air pollution for centuries, neither political nor technological fixes have made the problem go away. Brimblecombe's excellent book, which draws on a wide variety of sources in a novel approach to history, is a reminder of how recalcitrant serious problems are.
