will cure the kind of hangover you remember a year after the fact with masochistic pleasure. anise, ginger, cinnamon, fish sauce and daikon; garnish with rice noodles, paper-thin slices of raw brisket, cilantro and bean sprouts. It's certainly an interesting experiment - once - but I don't think it's any copout to be perfectly content with running down to Pho 75 for a $5.95 bowl of salty, aromatic, silky restoration.

BFC Laboratories and Watsons recently kicked off their new campaign to promote their “Transformation – Beauty + Fitness” campaign which aims to “help everyone achieve health and pulchritude through a sensible program of regular exercise, diet and most importantly, supplementation. The launch for the Cosmo Skin and Cosmo Cee products also marks the second year of partnership between Watsons and BFC Laboratories. The event was graced celebrity BFC endorsers and supportere led by actor and sports enthusiast Gerald Anderson, Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2012 Ariella Arida and BFC Lab athlete Ryan Kolton. All of them presented their experiences on how they incorporated health, fitness and beauty into their own busy lives and professional careers. Kolton spoke about how exercise can be improved by supplementing an individual’s diet with pre, intra and post workout supplements. He singled out the various Euphoriamaxx variants of BFC Laboratories (L-Arginine, Creatine, BCAA and Gluthamine) in helping get extra energy, muscle development and muscle recovery. He also stressed the importance of weight management in transforming one’s physique through naturally-sourced fat-busters (L-Carnitine and Green Tea Extract) in Cosmo Body Dietary Supplement; and the elimination of toxins by taking additional fiber through Psyllium Fiber in Fibermaxx. Ariella Arida took the stage to delve deeper into the launch’s theme of the importance of the use of organically-sourced supplements and other “green” ingredients. The talk also touched on the subject of grocery lists that can help tremendously in lightening skin. On her end, she actively spoke about the use of naturally-sourced GSE or Grape Seed Extract to help her fix dark spots through Cosmo Skin GSE Dark Spots Corrector. Vitamin C was what fueled Gerald Anderson, which is available in Cosmo Cee. He cites vioflavonoids in Cosmo as one of the sources of energy when doing the numerous sporting activity he is currently into. It also helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. On top of the event with the three endorsers, it also served as a launchpad for BFC Lab’s newest product, the BFC Lab Acai Berry. Made from Acai Berriee from the Amazonian part of Brazil, the product promotes heart health, weight loss, better skin health, better digestion, better immune system, anti-ageing effects, improves mental functions and a whole lot more. The “Transformations Beauty + Fitness” event is a month long celebration of health and beauty that will have numerous activations in various Watsons and SM Malls throughout the country with the biggest event happening in October at SM Megamall.

In talking with Alice Adams the other day it got me thinking about my own musical journey and how special it is to both worship everyday and also to play for others. Alice shared with me how much they they are benefiting from the Worship Guitar Class program. What caught my attention was when she mentioned that her kids play once a month with a Christian bluegrass group. I remembered that as a young player I used to play once a month at hootenannies. These were casual musical evenings in private homes. Some of you are Pastors or lead Home Groups. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to invite younger musicians to lead worship. If you are a worship leaders, why not ask less experienced players to join you? Having a reason and place to play will inspire the younger musician to work at mastering their instrument. And what a great opportunity for us to encourage the next generation of worship leaders! What I also appreciated about her call was saying that her family started their homeschool day with a praise time using the guitars. I wanted to encourage you to try to start each day with worship. Some families or individuals can’t do this in the mornings, so in the evening also works well. I think of Stan in Hawaii who worships in the evenings with his family. I always look forward to getting your updates. Many time I have benefited from you wisdom. Keep up the good work, and my God continue to bless you with His presence daily. Jean, We all need encouragement from time to time and blessed are those who encourage us. No matter how young or old young musicians or song writers are, let’s continue to encourage their efforts to be involved in activities that focus on our wonderful Master. I appreciate receiving your e-mail and reading your words that focus on our LORD. Dale and Randy thanks for your precious comments. Your comments are a blessing to me too.

A mosaic of hair-styles, colours, languages and blurry boundaries. They were called Papua - ‘frizzy-haired’, by their western neighbours, the Malay-speaking people of Southeast Asia. This apt distinction and handy term was commonly adopted. The dark skinned, frizzy-haired people speaking Non-Austronesian (Papuan) languages made a distinctive group in Oceania. Or did they? The picture is complicated since many frizzy-haired people in our region speak Austronesian – a family of languages with the largest geographical spread in the world in the pre-colonial era. This reflects past migration events, mixing traditions and formation of new cultures which historians, linguists and archaeologists attempt to reconstruct. The complexity is well illustrated in East Timor where indigenous Papuan people speak Tetum – a language from the Malayo-Polynesian (Austronesian) family with some Portuguese influence, and another popular language - Fataluku - a Papuan (or more correctly Non-Austronesian) language, widely used in the eastern part of the country. Several smaller language groupings are also associated with Papuan language family. Bahasa and Portuguese were adopted in a more recent colonial period. Europeans, often obsessed with skin colour, introduced the name Melanesia - meaning black, borrowed from Greek via French. It was coined by Jules Dumont d'Urville, French explorer, in 1832. He intended to define an ethnic and geographical grouping of islands whose inhabitants, he thought, were different from those of Polynesia and, of course, the most of Southeast Asia. But Austronesian languages of the Malayo-Polynesian branch are spoken by inhabitants of Melanesia, including the Solomon Islands, Fiji and north eastern regions of Papua New Guinea such as Manus Island, New Britain, New Ireland and the Milne Bay area with hundreds of small islands. Scholars think this is a product of Austronesian people expanding east to the Pacific via Melanesia in prehistoric times, at least by the second millennium before the Common Era. On their ‘journey’ future Polynesians picked up a bit of Melanesian pigment in their skin, but left a rich linguistic heritage and various cultural practices, including tattooing, head-hunting, making backcloth and outrigger canoes. Hidden in the jungle and possibly in the deep shadows of the past are some little people. They are like Papuans, but very small, such as the Tapiro People in the Mimika River region of the Papua Province. Similar small people with frizzy hair and chocolate-coloured skin live, usually isolated, in remote locations across Southeast Asia – from Taiwan and the Philippines through to the Andaman Islands, and possibly even Australia. According to an old theory, these little people, sometimes called Negritos, may represent a remnant of original ‘modern’ humans in Southeast Asia and the first people ever who populated New Guinea and Australia a bit over 40,000 years ago. In recent times anthropologists eloquently dismissed this alluring theory, but the mystery of the little people still awaits explanation. In commonly used geographical definition, Melanesia includes New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Bougainville, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji, where about 1000 languages are spoken. But Melanesian people are present in Southeast Asia as well, prominently in East Timor and Halmahera, making western boundary of Melanesia as blurry as the others.

This is going to sound like a broken record but nothing has changed. We have had a crack of open water about a third of a mile out which extends as far as I can see to the north and south and is at least 25 yards wide for the last two days. Our access is closed to any traffic until we get some COLD weather to close up the whole lake. Until then we just watch the ice pack float around based on the wind direction. We will open the bath house on Friday for people who want to come up for New Year's weekend. You can fish on the south end or hit some smaller lakes close by. Just remember--No Access here this weekend. Nothing has changed. The cracks have not healed. The lake still has open water so the ice still moves with the wind as evidenced by the hovercraft rescues recently. We need cold weather to freeze everything over. Our access is closed and will be closed through the weekend at least. The lake is not safe near us. You can view our new webcam on the mnlakecams.com website and you should be able to access it soon off our own website. The link should be done soon. Happy holidays and wish for cold temps and no significant snow until we are out with fishhouses. Not much change. Our access is still closed to all traffic. The winds last Thursday and over the weekend really raised havoc with our ice. I cleared out our main approach where the ice had piled up. The alternate approach still has 6' of ice piled up and we will start on that on Tuesday. The problem is not with the approaches, it is with the cracks and resuting open water. I see a fair amount of open water from shore and I heard of a few problems this weekend with stranded anglers. I can tell you straight out that the ice near us is not safe for any travel right now. Most of the ice is 7-8 inches, but there are also open water and spots which have frozen over with skim ice and are not safe. We need some cold weather to freeze up the cracks and open water patches. Also with the open water the ice can and is shifting in the wind. Well, where do I start? Monday, I went to the meeting of the Mille Lacs Fishery Input Group with the DNR. They said that the test nets this fall showed a lower number of fish, especially among younger male fish. This is not too surprising considering that is what the Band targets with their nets and also what we target as the fish less than 18". What is very shocking and quite unexplainable is that the band was 81,000 pounds under their allowable harvest this year and we were 170,000 pounds under our allowable harvest. In fact, in the last 4-5 years the total harvest (Band and sportsmen) is around 400,000 pounds under the allowable harvest. What happened? How can total fish be going down when we have not even been close to what is allowed? I think there is still much to be figured out. Are the fish moving to different spots? It would certainly be reasonable considering how popular and successful the deep water, lead core line trollers have been the last few years. Has the zebra mussel growth changed fish location where maybe the DNR test nets are just not catching as many fish? Are the test nets still a valid statistical sample which can be used to estimate the total fish population? Are Band net counters and DNR creel census workers getting an accurate measure of total harvest? One interesting fact from the DNR was that the apparantly lower young male population had not had much effect on fish reproduction. It was still very good with a very healthy young of the year fish population. Maybe the population of male fish is not all that important to the overall health of the total fish population. ( It makes me feel somewhat useless as a male). Also, the lower number of fish caught per test net in Mille Lacs is still higher than in any of the other big walleye lakes in MN. In fact, it was higher than Leech Lake where the DNR reported fish at a "strong" level. I do not mean this to seem as a condemnation of the DNR. They have a very tough job to do and ,in my opinion, the people responsible for the testing and biology work are dedicated to doing their best in a very tough environment. Having said that, I feel that the numbers they work with are estimates of uncertain accuracy and maybe we are trying to micromanage a huge body of water beyond our capabilities. Because of our agreement with the band, the lower number of fish per test net this year means we do not have the possibility of going over our maximum harvest. If we get close, the DNR will have to change the slot limits. The DNR also said they fear that the fishing will be very good this winter and also next summer. The forage is somewhat lower also so the fish may be biting aggressively. They certainly know how to rain on our parade and make what would be wonderful news any other time seem like bad news. They were trying to warn us or at least make us aware of a potential problem. The walleye regs this winter have not changed. The limit is still 4 walleyes with a protected slot of 18" to 28" with one walleye over 28" allowed. Considering that the fishing was good this summer and very good this fall and we were still 170,000 pounds under our allowable harvest, I am not losing any sleep about regs for next summer. The DNR said the maximum harvest for next year may be around 10% less than in 2011, that still allows a significant harvest for 2012. I say enjoy a very good winter, eat some walleye, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!! On to ice conditions and fishing. Until thursday, we were enjoying very good fishing and excellant ice conditions. The strong winds yesterday caused many cracks with some ice pile-up and many water spots. Some of the water is around the cracks, but some open water is also present. Adding to this is the fact that it is supposed to warm this weekend . Our access will be closed this entire weekend with no traffic of any kind allowed. We need some cold temps to heal everything up. I wish I had better news. STAY SAFE AND THINK COLD!!!! We have been getting out for 3 days now with ATVs and snowmobiles, as well as walking. The ice is around 7 inches and the fishing has been very good. Most people are fishing along Agate Bay Reef (ABR) in 16 to 25 feet depending on the time of day and cloud cover. I have heard from several groups who have done very well towards sunset along the reef in 20-23 feet, jigging with minnows. Hope to have a webcam installed within a week so watch for that! I was out checking ice this morning. There was 5-6 inches of ice all the way to the reef. There were several small cracks which is not uncommon on early ice. By Sat am we should have 6-7 inches if nothing bad happens. At this time, we will be allowing walking and ATV/snowmobile traffic this weekend. HOWEVER, this means one person per ATV or snowmobile with a sled ot tub. It DOES NOT mean an ATV pulling a trailer with people and all their gear riding on it. If you need to pull a lot of weight, the bays down by Isle have more ice and that may be a better bet. THINK COLD AND NO SNOW!!!!! Book any house for 24 hours or more for this weekend ( Friday morning till noon Sunday) and get 25% off our regular price. This only applies to new bookings, not houses already reserved. The discount will also apply to our weekend special prices. So if you have waited until the last minute to make plans, jump on this. It is a great price. Please mention the "LAST MINUTE SPECIAL" when booking the house. Hope to see you on the ice!!!!!! After quite a New Year's weekend, the ice is getting straightened out. We had several cracks when we went from 36 and 1-2 inches of rain to below zero in a couple of days. We moved the main road and bridged the worst of the cracks and this week of cold temps have done wonders to heal the ice. The cold weather slowed the fishing for a few days, but it seems to be picking up again. We saw several nice catches of perch in the last two days and heard of nice walleyes taken also. The deeper perch bite is improving, although they continue to pick some up in shallower areas as well. I think we will see some fishermen leaving the reef areas and start moving deeper along Perch Parkway and south of the reef along either Walleye Drive or Lake St.. Walleyes continue to like shiners and red hooks are still working. Perch have taken fatheads one day and only wanted wax worms or euralarva the next. Be prepared to offer them a bait buffet and let them show you what they want. The mornings have been better for perch. Walleyes still prefer the low light times.

My first announcement should make a few of you happy. A number of you apple-junkies have been feeling incredibly left out. Not any longer. I am pleased to announce that ‘The Story of Albert Ross’ is now available on I-Tunes. Now go forth and download my friends, and hopefully enjoy. In other news, ‘Existence Is Futile’ is now listed on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. The bad news is that it is not yet in stock. That does not stop you from ordering it, to encourage them to speed up a little. Best of all is the fact that Amazon delivers to a number of countries(including Poland and Denmark). The most bizarre fact of all is that on both sites someone has listed ‘used’ copies. Curiously those copies do not yet exist. That’s what you call forward planning. My last announcement relates to Goodreads.com. For those of you that don’t know Goodreads is a book rating website, something similar to what IMDB does for films. You log in, rate what you’ve read, review if you wish, plan what you are going to read, see what your friends are reading and you can even follow authors you like. There is no need to sign up anymore as you can link Goodreads directly to your Facebook profile. Why is that of interest? Because you can now find my profile, a page for ‘Existence Is Futile’ and a page for ‘The Story of Albert Ross’ on Goodreads. If you already use it, you know what to do. If you don’t, consider joining, if you do, find me. If you’ve read something I’ve written, review it. If not, add it to your to-read list. Why? Because it will help me, and more importantly it will help share these stories. Go on, you know you want to.

This is a story of yogic technology in action. It is the story of an answered prayer and a fulfilled New Year’s intention. It is the story of two people who knew what they wanted and dared to receive it. This is the story of how I came to enter the most rewarding (and yes, often challenging) partnership and commitment of my life. This is how I met my husband. In 2010 I attended my first Summer Solstice Sadhana in New Mexico. I was very new to Kundalini Yoga at that time. A friend has invited me to sing for his workshop, and besides, I had some free time. At least that’s why I thought I was there. If you have ever been to this epic event, you know that the reason you think you go, is a very far cry from the reason your soul arranges for you to be there. It turns out there were a lot of reasons for my presence, not least of which was doing a service exchange on the sound team with the man I would marry exactly one year later. The most amazing part about our first meeting was that neither of were interested in the other romantically. It was not love at first sight. In fact, besides some conversations about his teacher training, and some other service-related banter, we barely interacted. The next time we met was at Winter Solstice in Florida, only 6 months later. I had just finished my month-long intensive teacher training in Espanola, New Mexico. Also, I had completed 40 days of reciting the prayer “So Purkh” with the intention of attracting a partner. My future husband, Harimander, had begun his own spiritual practice. He had expressed interest in marriage, so his teacher encouraged him to being a Sahej Path to activate the intention. A Sahej Path is a personal prayer that involves reading the Siri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh scriptures) each day, eventually completing it in its entirety. When we met again at Winter Solstice, something had changed in both of us. Still no attraction though. We both signed up for the sound team again. On one of the days, we were assigned to help out for a class taught by Snatam Kaur and So Purkh Singh (I love that that is his name by the way!). I could tell the story within the story of how they met and married—because that was the topic of their class—but I’ll keep on point here. At some point during their class Harimander and I realized that everything was going smoothly, so we decided to participate in the class. Unbeknownst to me, he got a very clear message as we were doing one of the exercises in the kriya. The message was: “Your future wife could be very near you right now.” Immediately interested in this suggestion, he opened his eyes and sees that I’m the only one next to him within a few feet. We were “backstage” and everyone else was actually in the class. He didn’t tell me this until a little later in our relationship. He probably didn’t want to scare me. Smart man. Our courtship began when he started Facebook messaging me about two weeks later. He ended up coming out to Los Angeles, where I was currently living, to see “how our auras would get along.” I kid you not. That is what he said. In the car, on the way to a Dave Stringer kirtan, he asked me what I wanted out of a relationship. I told him I wasn’t interested in dating. I wanted to get married. He said that was exactly where he was in his life as well. Three months later he proposed over skype—and again in person when he came to meet my parents in Connecticut. Two months after that we got married at Ram Das Puri in New Mexico at Summer Solstice Sadhana. Some family members expressed their concern that the relationship was so new, and that the marriage felt rushed. My mom thought I was pregnant! (Nope, not until the next year!). Funny enough, for the Kundalini Yoga community, short courtships (even no courtships) were fairly commonplace. Yogi Bhajan had arranged marriages for many people who met and married on the same day. Harimander used to tell people that Guru (the subtle energy that guides us to our highest and brightest) arranged our marriage. I think that’s about right. We knew what we wanted, recognized it was right there, and signed up for the adventure. We have certainly had our difficulties, but all in all, we both know we made the only possible decision. After all, when God answers your prayers, the least you can do is receive. Can Kundalini Yoga Help You Find True Love? Stories of Yogi Bhajan: Are You Happy? I remember that visit when Harimandir Singh came to LA and you two were hanging out! Sat Nam, thank you for sharing your story! My now husband introduced me to Kundalini Yoga shortly after we met and I felt as if my soul came home, it was the most comfortable cozy feeling.

Open Houses on the Outer Banks - To Do or Not to Do? I will hold Open Houses - and I do them on a case by case basis. An agent should not refuse an open house to a client that is requesting that they do it - especially if the agent states in their marketing plan that they will do an open house. On the other hand; I've had several clients that did not want their home held open - they felt that the serious buyers would already have a "Buyer's Agent" that would show the home to them if it fit their needs. Having random people just walk into an open home where they don't know any details about it or even the listing price - is really not in the best interest of the seller. Especially in large cities where the open house could be used by a thief to case out your home. Quite honestly, an Open House serves the Realtor more than the seller - it's a great way to generate leads, meet new people, and market the agents name to new potential clients. In the remote chance that the walk-in wants to actually make an offer on the home - then that's just a huge bonus. Home Seller's need to understand this and keep their expectations in check. As an aside; Open Houses tend to work best in new home communities were buyers come to that community because they are familiar with it and with the home prices in that community. Having worked many years in model homes it was quite often where a buyer would walk in to the model - and make an offer on that home - that day. Bottom line - If I say I will do an open house and you ask me to do it - I will definitely do it. Every market and community is different - so the results will be different. I prefer having open houses for listings that are very visible and in high traffic areas. Bottom line - If I say I will do an open house and you ask me to do it - I will definitely do it.

Let’s be real for a sec: JoJo Fletcher was the best-dressed Bachelorette of all time. Don’t @ us, it’s honestly just a fact at this point. Not only did the 27-year-old find love at the end of her season, but she also gained 2.2 million Instagram followers and a devoted fan base obsessed with literally everything she wears. If you bought a Mochi Swim bikini or subscribed to FabFitFun just because she promotes it, then you’re about to drop some serious cash on JoJo’s new clothing line, Fletch. Fletch, which officially launches its summer collection on Tuesday, June 13, has been “a long time in the making” for JoJo. “Doing a clothing line is something that I feel like I’ve always wanted to do,” she explained. “When I was in high school I even thought about doing it, and even before I got into real estate I dabbled into the idea of opening up my own boutique, but the idea never came to fruition.” But over the last two years, the former Bachelorette has taken risks, played around with her personal style, and worked hard to make her dream become a reality. But which item in the collection is her absolute favorite? It was hard for JoJo to pick, but we made her choose one anyway! "I think one that everyone all around will love is the desert mini dress, it's that vintage, navy floral one that I posted for the very first photo on Fletch’s Instagram," she explained. "It’s a crowd pleaser, it fits amazing, the quality is great, it forms to your body no matter what size you are, and it's very flattering, so I think that one will be a hit." With sizes ranging from XS to XXL and looks for every occasion, Fletch will become your newest obsession. Be sure to check out JoJo’s official clothing line at shopfletch.com and get shopping!

My best friend almost killed herself. She's the one person I can tell anything to, the one person I would do anything for. She texted me at 10:30 on Tuesday morning while I was in lunch at school. I have never been the kind of person who breaks down, but when she told me she wanted to end her life I saw my heart break in two. How could I deal with this? If she were to end her life I would not know what to do with myself. She means the very world to me. How did I deal with this? At first, I cried till I couldn't breathe, then I cried till I couldn't breathe or see. I continued to cry till there was nothing left. But as I cried I told her how I felt about her, how much I loved her, and how much she meant to me. About two months ago I made my best friend promise me if we were not married by the age of thirty we would marry each other so we would not die alone. I felt like the one person who was never going to let me be alone was giving up on life and was deserting me, so I was mad, sad, hurt, and most of all, scared. I told her there was no way in hell I'd sit back and let her take her own life, so I gave her two options. She could either want help or she would get help. So either way I was not going to lose her. I had 911 pushed in my phone ready to go at any moment. Then she texted me and said, "How can I get help? I don't want to live like this, but I sure can't give up." So after I got out of school I picked her up and we talked for quite some time. When we got to the emergency room at 4:42 PM she signed the paper and we waited to be called. We were the first to be seen since her life was in danger. We got in there and faced our first set of problems - she's 17 and had no parent with her. At first they tried telling me there was nothing they could do, so I told them we were not moving till they agreed to help her. After almost thirty minutes of talking to other nurses and head shift leaders they decided her life was more important than the law. They also thought of a way around it - they called her mom and told her because she was in imminent danger it was legal. After she got a bed, about two seconds later, a doctor came up and started asking questions. The first question was did she have a plan? (Mind you, I had not asked her this question because I knew, and I didn't want to hear the answer or the plan.) She answered, "Yes, I do. Take a handful of pills and go to sleep and pray I never wake up." At that moment I had heard the thing that would kill me, but I knew if I broke down it would hurt her, so I had to stay calm. How? Her feelings were more important at that time than mine. It was about her, not me, and I couldn't cause her any more pain. They called a psych unit. It took them four hours to get the paperwork done and another thirty minutes to get there to transport her. It was hard to watch my best friend leave when all I wanted to do was hold her and tell her everything was going to be okay. My best friend is now in the hospital getting better. They are expecting her to get out on Monday or Tuesday, depending on her response to treatment. About every nine minutes someone dies of suicide; every ten minutes someone has to deal with it. It's never easy to help someone who is suicidal, but it sure is worth it. I met her my freshman year. (I'm currently a junior.) She was quiet, shy, and weird. I am not and never will be quiet or shy. One day I decided she could no longer be quiet. Boy, was that a mistake! Once I got her talking I haven't gotten her to stop since. All I did was ask for a piece of paper and I wrote, "What's up", and she said, "Doing my work." I never thought we would become the best of friends. I have so many great memories that I never get to just think about, and now I can't stop thinking about them. One night we got really bored. It was about 8:30, and she, our other friend, and I decided it was a nice time for a walk. Her mom said, "Be back by 11:30." We got back at 1:30. Between 8:30 and 1:30 we walked and talked and even laid in someone's driveway while looking at stars. We got back to her house and got blankets and fell asleep outside. At about 4:30 she woke me up and told me our friend had woken up and gone inside without us. We walked inside and saw our friend sprawled out on the bed. We picked her up and placed her on the floor and we went to sleep on the bed. This is my favorite memory because it was the first night she and I were one hundred percent real with each other.

A friend of mine has recently been posting her understanding of Japanese culture and it influences on Christianity and Japanese ministry. She created a series following many of the traditions in the culture that seem entirely foreign and oftentimes create strongholds again developing a faith in Jesus Christ. For example, relationships in Japan between family, coworkers, and others are each treated specifically different. In America, we often act as if we should treat the people around us like close friends. This is not the case in Japan and could be seen as impolite by Japanese people. The author, Katie, is a missionary in Japan with her family. To understand more, read Katie’s blog or peek through these compiled posts, the Japanese Culture Series. One of this Japan blog's highlights is a deep look at Japanese culture and its effects on travelers, missionaries, and families. This page is basically the table of contents for the many aspects we are finding in Japanese culture and how we can understand them better. And if you'd like to learn, I suggest RJC's class Japan 101.

Preparations are moving fast for the near net zero energy retrofit of 5 homes in Maldon, Essex, owned by social housing provider Moat. This will be the first UK pilot using the innovative Energiesprong model to be supported by E=0 project funding from the European Union. Preferred bidder ENGIE has just received the results of a detailed technical survey, so will now confirm the price of the work and help detail the ‘comfort plan’ to be offered to residents. Planning applications went in at the start of June. Moat owns 34 semi-detached properties on Mundon Road, interspersed with privately owned homes bought under the UK ‘right to buy’ scheme. Potential participants have been shortlisted and now 4 or 5 are ready to proceed. Those that didn’t wish to participate mentioned reasons like intending to buy the property and owning a wood stove, which they wished to keep. Shortlisted households have higher than average energy bills and this is a very different group of residents to the Nottingham Energiesprong pilot earlier this year, including more multiple occupancy homes. “The project is exciting and the finished result looks really smart but the best bit has to be the expected savings on energy costs”. The presentations introduced ENGIE, shared examples from the UK Nottingham City pilot and presented the designs for the Maldon pilot by Gardner Stewart Architects. Ms Edwards, a resident attending the event, commented “The project is exciting and the finished result looks really smart but the best bit has to be the expected savings on energy costs”. The proposed design uses a Mauer pre-fabricated, super insulated facade with a lightweight brick effect finish, triple glazed windows and high-performance doors. The architects and ENGIE visited the Mauer factory and were impressed with their versatile solution. Adding brick slips would add more weight, so this textured brick effect offers an advantage assuming the residents and planners like it. The new highly insulated roof panel will come with integrated PV solar panels. New dormers with double glazed windows will be fitted to the front as planning requires them to be kept. Cement tiles will be fitted to give a consistent look. The redundant brick chimney will be capped and sealed. A conditioned indoor climate (heating and ventilation) is proposed to be provided by a compact fully integrated Factory Zero energy module on each property. For the pilot, this will contain an air source heat pump, hot water tank, PV inverter and mechanical ventilation unit. The on-board monitoring kit will provide real time measurements at suitable levels of detail for keeping the energy supplier, landlord and occupant informed. The energy module will be sited on the back or side of the house so that the equipment inside it can be maintained without disturbing the residents. Recent technical surveys covered a structural assessment of the pilot properties. This process established if the walls are strong enough to bolt on external wall panels. Without the required strength a trench would need to be dug and filled to provide a foundation to sit the panels on. The survey also looked at the roof to see if it is strong enough to support solar PV, plus whether there was any potential asbestos in the property to avoid. It looked at drains and cables in the ground to reveal if any could be problematic for the plans. It also looked at fine detail such as any impact the new facades might have on the opening of doors, especially in corners. The final energy performance will be near net zero. This is largely driven by the fact that the whole roof will not be covered with solar. The energy performance of the homes is set to be guaranteed for 30 years, split into 10 year periods, assuring long term comfort and affordable warmth for Moat’s customers.

While the RBA has found that broad economic activity continues to be strong, it noted a warning that the retail sales and household income growth remain sluggish. The bank appears to be more concerned this month about the break-out property price growth. A drop in rates might stimulate this sector further, which points to rates remaining low in the foreseeable future. However, while the cash rate will remain flat, lenders have lifted their rates across a range of loan types, particularly interest-only loans, so it is imperative that existing borrowers ensure they have the right loan for their needs. Your Aussie Mortgage Broker can help you with a free appointment at a time that suits your needs. As this will be my last commentary on Reserve Bank interest rates announcements, I would like to thank you for your readership. James Symond, CEO of Aussie, is pleased to take over from next month.

NOTON is proud to launch the first limited edition clothing collaboration with German fashion designer Kostas Murkudis. Both teams have been working on the garment for over a year and now one hundred editions have been handmade in Italy and are ready for artists. The black cotton-satin, short sleeved shirt is cool and breathable, making it appealing to performers working in the creative industries. An elegant neckline comfortably folds over the chest. The cut was inspired by Japanese folding techniques and has been combined with half raglan sleeves, intricate stitching and discrete, screen-printed logo resulting in a stylish, minimal look. Kostas Murkudis is a senior designer born in Germany, from Greek parents. He began his career as first assistant of Helmut Lang and subsequently founded his own label showing men’s and women’s collections in Paris from 1996 to 2001. He was then appointed as creative director of New York Industrie, Closed, Ter et Bantine, and Hache more recently. He has also consulted high- end brands such as Balenciaga and Pringle of Scotland, while collaborating with Johnston Cashmere, Mykita and Isaac Reina. In 2015 in occasion of his twentieth year of activity his works have been shown as solo exhibition at MMK Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt. Since 2016 he has been focusing on his own clothing label, developing garments with special attention to their functionality and innovation in textiles. Carsten Nicolai is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. For his musical outputs he uses the pseudonym Alva Noto. Born 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt he is part of an artist generation who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science. With a strong adherence to reductionism he leads his sound experiments into the field of electronic music creating his own code of signs, acoustics and visual symbols.

For video production in general, it’s a huge time-saver. I have several friends along with myself who have been able to develop full course sites of 100+ quality video tutorials thanks to switching from the camera to our iPhones. It’s free and it’s FREEING. Ok, not entirely free but you don’t have to pay anyone every time you need a promo video. There’s no middle man (aka hired videographer) between you and the promo video you want. Not having to depend on someone else or your budget means no limitations on producing video promotion whenever you need it (last-minute sale, launch, etc.). My journey to making all promo/explainer, YouTube, tutorial, and social media videos with my iPhone instead of a professional camera was a gradual one and I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes along the way. Here are my steps (still evolving) on how to make a promo video with your iPhone that’s totally doable while still high quality. Will your promo video consist of photos, video clips, graphics designs, or a mixture of the three? Will it be text-only or will there be audio as well? What size works best for your intended purpose and platform? Widescreen or square are your normal options but even vertical is becoming an option with short Instagram Story and Snapchat clips. Once you know what direction your video needs to go in, it’s time to start setting things up for quality iPhone video. Besides lighting, the most important setup piece is your stability. Your iPhone can attach to any type of tripod or stand made for cameras as long you have a smartphone mount. I’ve tried many and my favorite right now is the Square Jellyfish mount. It works for horizontal or vertical video and they also have a version for iPads. That link and any other product link here is an Amazon affiliate link meaning I’ll get a small commission if you order. All products are items I have used, but always do your own research. Even if you have the latest iPhone, lighting will truly make or break your video quality. There are a million different types of lighting setups out there and your decision largely depends on your budget and what you want to video. Window Lighting. Free and fabulous under the right conditions. Clamp Lighting. This involves covering clamp lights with parchment paper (to soften the light). I use 3 clamps along with ALZO 27W 5500K Light Bulbs and clip them around my product setup. You can find the clamp lights at your local hardware store or here at Amazon. Ring Lighting. I love my ring light for talking head clips (when you’re talking to the camera) and it actually doubles for product and tutorial lighting. I have a Diva Ring Light with a bendable gooseneck that allows me to shine its light on my products over a table. Not cheap but very versatile, compact, and little understanding of lighting is needed. One of the easiest ways to help people remember your brand and products is by personally talking to them in your videos. I have found Instagram Stories and Snapchat a great way to practice and get comfortable with this format. If you’re going to speak during your video or record voice-over, quality audio is a must. There are various options but right now I am using the Movo LV1 Lavalier smartphone mic (dongle required for iPhone 7). Want background music? The quickest way is to search for royalty free music in the iTunes app. However, I often go to AudioJungle on my laptop to purchase unique royalty-free background music and then I transfer it to my iPhone via my iTunes account. I’ve listed this as step #6, but it may be the first step you want to take to make sure you know what you want and need to convey your message in your promo video. I provide a free script writing template in my iPhone Product Video Course (which is also free). Be brief. People are bombarded with video now and on average won’t make it through more than 10 seconds of your video. Present your service/product as the solution to their problem and get out of there as quick as possible! Be concise. This is where script writing is so important because it helps you craft the perfect message without wasting any extra words that will lose your audience. Be engaging. Start with something interesting that has your audience in mind. Don’t start with yourself, start with them. Animated Text Slides. Apps such as iMovie, Quik, & Legend provide this for you. Royalty-Free Stock Photos. Just go to your favorite stock photo website in Safari and you should be able to press and save the photo to your camera roll. If you’ve followed steps 1-7, you should feel fairly prepared at this moment about what clips and photos you need to shoot. Wipe the lens! It can work magic for a clearer image (a microfiber cloth is great but I usually end up using my shirt). Use a stand and smartphone mount (shaky video is the worst!). Set the autofocus and exposure by pressing down on the focal point in your iPhone screen. Always do a trial run to make sure everything looks and sounds as you wish. Although you can create animated text slides in full video-editing apps such as iMovie and Quik, definitely consider using apps such as Adobe Spark Post or Ripl to created isolated animated text slides that can be inserted along with the rest of your footage once you’re in the final video-editing stage. The one piece of all of iPhone video that requires a learning curve is getting comfortable with a full video-editing app. If you’re just beginning, I recommend Adobe Spark Video (not to be confused with Adobe Spark Post) which pretty much guides you through the whole process, Once you get comfortable with video editing, mastering iMovie is essential. In my opinion, it still proves to be the most comprehensive video editor app available. Want something simply and flashy? Try out the Quik app. A key to using your iPhone for video editing is being okay with app smashing (using multiple apps to achieve a desired result). For full flexibility and editing, you’ll rarely find it in just one app. Sounds a little ridiculous but even your marketing video needs marketing. Make a list of all the possible channels you have to share your video and make sure to follow through on that list. Don’t let your hard work go to waste simply because your video did not ever really set sail into the online world. If you’d like a printable guide and video course to help you through the following steps along with lots more details and tips (like a script writing template and more app suggestions), then sign up for my FREE iPhone Product Video Course. In 25 days or less, you’ll have an iPhone promo video that you can be proud of and that will hopefully bring you more sales. I hope you found this post helpful and not too overwhelming (remember the free course above will make it even more doable). If you’d like to remember these tips later, be sure to pin the following image to your Pinterest account.

Something for Everyone: A Solstice, Monday Night! At 04:48 UTC Tuesday morning (or 23:48 Monday night Eastern U.S. time), the Earth’s north polar axis will be tipped as far away from the Sun as it will be all year. This means the Sun will reach its most southern position on the sky. It also means we have the day with the least amount of daylight in it,* and the longest night. In other words, it’s the winter solstice (or, out of respect for southern hemisphereans, the December solstice). I described this in some detail last year at this time, so if you want more info, check that out. But, there’s something I want to note: You’d think that if the amount of daylight is shortest on the solstice, then you’d have the latest sunrise and earliest sunset, right? But actually, it’s a bit more complicated than that. For example, in Boulder, Colorado, the earliest sunset already happened, sometime around Dec. 8 or so, when it set at 4:36 p.m. But the latest sunrise still hasn’t happened yet: That’ll be around Jan. 4 of next year. This is true everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, though the exact numbers and dates depend on your latitude. But it’s caused by two things: The Earth’s axis is tilted, and the Earth’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle. These two situations interact in an unusual and not necessarily intuitive way, changing the dates of the latest sunrise and earliest sunset by a week or so around the December solstice. I wrote a post describing it a while back, and if you want even more details, go to analemma.com and poke around; that’s a fun website (if you’re an astronomy dork, as—duh—I am). As it happens, in Boulder on the solstice, it turns out daylight lasts about 9 hours and 20 minutes Monday. Compare that with the summer (June) solstice when daylight is more than 15 hours! That might seem a little bleak, but think of it this way: Every day, from now until June 20 (the summer/June solstice) the days get a bit longer, and night a bit shorter (get the times for your own location here). That’s why ancient peoples celebrated this day; it meant the worst (as far as least daylight) was behind them. That sounds like a fine basis for celebration to me! Even though I’m an astronomer, and I like long nights, it’s nice to see the Sun sometimes too. Update, Dec. 21, 2015 at 17:20 UTC: Don't forget the real reason for the season! Correction, Dec. 21, at 20:00 UTC: I originally wrote that the solstice was at 21:48 Eastern time, but that's when it is in Mountain time (my own time zone). My apologies to anyone planning any celebrations at the exact moment of the Sun's most southern declination. *Some people say we have the shortest day, but that word is ambiguous; do they mean amount of daylight or the time it takes the Earth to spin once? That’s why I phrased it as I did above. Also? One day-night cycle has the technical name of nycthemeron, a word I love.

Caitlin Garcia competing at IHSA semifinals for Equestrian team in Findlay, Ohio March 15-17. The spring semester for the Laramie County Community College Equestrian team ended with the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association semifinals in Findlay, Ohio. Sophomore Caitlin Garcia and coach Lanae McDonald traveled to Ohio to compete in IHSA semifinals, representing LCCC. In order to make it to show at that level, a rider must earn points while showing all season and placing in those shows. Caitlin Garcia and Lanae McDonald stand in the photo place with Garcia’s award for semifinals in Findlay, Ohio March 15-17. The difference between normal shows throughout the season and semifinals is how many people are showing. At other shows during the season, each team shows against only a couple surrounding states and colleges. For LCCC, those teams were from Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and of course, the University of Wyoming. In IHSA semifinals, there are three regions across the nation that host the semi-finals for different colleges. The three states for the 2018-19 year were Utah, Ohio and Florida. Each division from seasonal shows are brought into the semifinals. There are 16 individuals that qualify for semifinals in a division and from those 16 riders, eight riders are pulled back to the final class. The top four from the class of eight go on to nationals, which is in New York this year. Garcia made the final Novice class and placed eighth out of the sixteen riders who traveled to Ohio.

Developers are always looking for, and sometimes making, the next tool that will simplify or eliminate steps in building an application. Abstractions are necessary for eliminating tedious and time consuming tasks. Cloud computing has proved to be a great tool for this. It simplifies the process of application development and deployment with higher level service capabilities. Miko Matsumura, deputy CTO of Software AG, explains how cloud computing will impact the future of software development in this exclusive interview with DZone. DZone: What role does the virtualization of cloud computing play in the development and deployment of applications? Miko Matsumura: Virtualization is a tremendous enablement technology for developers - it allows a huge network of computers to appear identical to that of the developer's personal computer and therefore provides the most developer-friendly abstraction layer for deployment that you can imagine - the deployment configuration simply goes away. In reality it doesn't "go away" but the infrastructure, whether outsourced or not, takes advantage of elastic scalability to provide seamless and potentially a very high ceiling to scaling performance. DZone: People are always afraid of where their data is and who has access in the cloud. What are the risks (security or otherwise) of Cloud Computing? Miko: Cloud computing like anything comes with a unique set of risks - but if I were to point to one that is most likely to be missed by present day best practices it would be the combination of low upfront cost with high elasticity and a very high ceiling on scalability. This means that it's easy for cloud apps to come into the Enterprise in "stealth mode" because they can start out very small. Because of elasticity and high upper bound scalability, there's a potential for cloud apps to grow much more massively than the previous generation of apps. So the disruptive power of cloud is much higher. People have always been bad at understanding the implications of exponential growth, and here's a platform designed to do exactly that. DZone: Envision for me a future where Cloud Computing is used everywhere. Is such a future possible or likely? What do you think the future holds for Cloud Computing? Miko: In a ubiquitous cloud computing future scenario, IT capabilities are outsourced on a massive scale into the cloud. I believe this future is not only likely but inevitable. However, the core function of Enterprise IT will remain to leverage both outsourced commodity functions as well as preserving IT functions that help the organization provide competitively differentiated services themselves. This will require a way of governing and composing a portfolio of capabilities both on and off-premise. Some would call this competency "SOA", but of course this term is unfashionable at the moment. DZone asked Matsumurua if he had any final thoughts on what cloud computing means for developers. He said that cloud computing is a "wonderful boon" to developers. "It abstracts a lot of what is most tedious about Enterprise development - the intrusive quality of deployment descriptors and clustering code and other such nuisances," explains Matsumura. The centralization of these functions a dramatic improvement, he says, It's a dramatic improvement to centralize these functions. Matsumura said, "Let them be taken care of in the cloud."

2019 NFL Conference Championships: How Are Bookies Prepping? The NFL puts on its second most spectacular show of the season this Sunday when the top four teams in the league battle it out in the NFC Championship and AFC Championship. Over in the NFC, 1-seed New Orleans hosts the 2-seed L.A. Rams. That’s the first game on January 20. Then, in the AFC Championship, the Patriots travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. Online bookie agents must prepare for the huge amounts of action that should land in their sportsbooks before the 2019 NFL Conference Championships. Check out how they’ll do just that using PayPerHead’s Prime Package tools. Saints versus Rams could be one of those nail biters, or, it could end up a Saints blowout win. Obviously, New Orleans was rusty in the first quarter of their 20-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The Saints came back after being down 14-0. New Orleans should control the clock, as they did with the close to 12 minute drive in the third quarter versus Philadelphia, meaning many pay per head agents might not use their layoff accounts on the total. Many will also allow money on the Rams to ride if the Rams are over bet. Just in case, bookmakers will set max betting limits on both moneylines. The New England Patriots are in a strange position on Sunday. The Pats must beat the Chiefs on the road to stamp their ticket to Super Bowl 53. New England has been masterful for close to a decade. Sunday’s AFC Championship will be New England’s eighth straight. Less than 50% of NFL handicappers believe the Patriots cover the spread. Many are pounding the Chiefs. Some pay per head agents will try and score big profits by allowing money to ride on the Chiefs and not use their layoff accounts. If the Chiefs don’t cover the spread, those bookies who take that risk could make out big time. Most all bookie agents will set max betting limits on both the Patriots and Chiefs. The odds are low enough to where some players will bet massive amounts on both sides. Keep that in mind when deciding whether to back a team against the spread or on the moneyline. Just as quickly as the 2019 NFL Conference Championship games approached, so to will Super Bowl 53. Each year the Super Bowl brings in over $4 BILLION worth of wagers, over 97% of wagers are placed through off-shore sportsbooks and individual bookmakers. Don’t miss out on that $4 billion dollar pie. Become a bookmaker before February 3rd! Sign up for PayPerHead’s Prime Package today to get a 3-week trial at just $3 per head. Speak to a rep today and start cashing-in on Super Bowl 53.

Portland had been on my US bucket list for a really long time and I finally made my way to the Pacific Northwest! (Photo above: 3158 W Burnside St) My best friend, Dina, and I booked a last minute trip to Portland on a whim. We justified it by saying it was our last hoorah before the beginning of the school year (we’re both teachers) and since I was gone most of the summer it was perfect for us to catch up. The cheap flights also encouraged us to finally go. I’m so glad that we did because we both had so much fun and we can’t wait to go back because there is just so much to see and do. On this trip I still had my boot on so I missed out on all the adventure stuff (i.e. waterfalls and hiking) but I will do those next time. Below are what we did, saw, ate and drank for three days in Portland. We tried to maximize all of our days, but we still wanted to relax. I think we accomplished just that. If you have any recommendations for next time I go, let me know in the comments or send me an email 🙂 And YES, Portland is so weird, but so amazing. We stayed at Hotel Lucia (400 SW Broadway) in Downtown Portland. We used Hotwire and got really really lucky with our hotel. We even got upgraded and our room had two bathrooms – so luxurious! The location was actually perfect because we were in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. Hotel Lucia is also like an art museum. We didn’t have time to go to a museum but I felt like the museum came to us via Hotel Lucia. Art was everywhere and I was in heaven. Right by Hotel Lucia is the coffee shop Public Domain. Great lattes, cappuccinos and decor. We went there every morning. And the expression is very true, “But first coffee.” Dina and I know that we both need our coffee before we become our chatty selves and are ready to explore, so thank you PD for making us happy in the morning. The Pearl District was formally the industrial part of Portland, but now occupies great restaurants. We stumbled upon Brix Tavern and they had an awesome happy hour-all day long special along. So good. I have to say that all the food I ate in Portland was great. I didn’t think Portland had a food scene, but I was proved wrong. Not pictured, and also a great place to eat, is Imperial; not just because it was attached to Hotel Lucia but because all the food was scrumptious. Again, you won’t be disappointed. On the same street as Public Domain, there is the cutest French bakery, St. Honoré Boulangerie. That’s where I got my chocolate croissant fix. That also made me very happy. There’s no picture of what I’m going to describe to you right now because it quickly disappeared. If you’re willing to stand in a 45 minute line, Salt & Straw is definitely worth the wait. They have such unique flavors of ice cream, but I devoured my sea salt and caramel ice cream in a freshly made cone in record timing. Some helpful tips: If you don’t want to wait in a line, you can by pass everybody and go straight to the freezers. You can pick up a pint of your favorite flavor. Also, if you stay at Hotel Lucia, they can deliver you pints of ice cream. I don’t think it can get better than that! If you still have sweet cravings, Voodoo Donuts will probably fill that void in your life. I’ve eaten some crazy donuts in Colorado from Voodoo, but we didn’t want to wait in the long line because walking around with the boot got tiresome. I realized that waiting in lines for tasty treats is a thing in Portland, but the treats make you forget about all that. Every book worm’s dreams exist at Powell’s Books, the world’s largest independent book store. I think we were there for several hours because we lost track of the time and there were just sooo many books. I repeat, sooo many books. You need a map to get around the store because it takes up a whole city block. I repeat, a whole city block of books!!! I’d go back to Portland just for the books, honestly. We were lucky to stumble upon the Portland Saturday Market. This an arts & crafts market with entertainment, food and drinks. It’s open to the public by the waterfront and is runs on weekends March through Christmas Eve. If you like shopping local and you like one-of-a-kind pieces or just enjoy people watching, then that’s a place for you to go. Portland has so many bridges and you can see them next to the PSM. P.S. I ate an amazing polenta at the Market – find the cart. Obviously, nature is all around Portland. But you can find tranquility at the Japanese Garden (admission fee) and then hop on over to the International Rose Test Garden. This is where they test different types of roses because Portland has ideal growing climate for roses. Photographs don’t do it justice because it’s so beautiful and it smells heavenly. I was amazed at all the beauty! Definitely one of the best parts of the trip and there’s no admission! If you want to explore out of the city then rent a car or buy a bus ticket and go to Cannon Beach. This was also another highlight from the trip. We decided to take the bus to Cannon Beach which was about an hour and a half each way. We left early in the morning and came back in the evening. Just enough time to explore the beach and the town. At first look, I think I lost my breath because Haystack Hill and the surrounding beach were so pretty. I had seen lots of photos before arriving and it was equally magical in real life. We spent a few hours taking photos and reading and being chased by a seagull. Then we ate the best lobster mac n’ cheese at Wayfarer Restaurant with Haystack Hill as our background and then we drank homemade root beer at Pelican Brewing. Make sure to visit both parts of the town to be fully immersed in the town life. We walked around looking at the cute shops and before we knew it, it was time to head back to Portland. You could stay overnight, but I think a day trip would suffice. Dina is definitely the one who makes plans ahead of trips unlike me where I look up some stuff before, but then I wait to get there and go with the flow. Well I’m glad she’s the planner because she booked us an amazing wine tour through Viator. Portland is now booming with wineries; especially pinot noir wine. It turned out that we were the only people on the tour that day and what were the odds that our guide was part Greek! Niko was awesome! He knew so much about Oregon and about wine. We had a fantastic time and seriously, email him if you’re going to Portland (niko@liveherepdx.com) I can’t recommend him enough! The first winery we went to was the Durant Vineyard. I think frolicking among the vines might be one of my favorite activities. All the wines we tasted were wonderful. I know I’m Greek and it’s probably mandatory that I love olive oil, but I have a confession – I don’t really like it. I know, it’s a shocker but I did try some of the olive oil from this vineyard’s trees and it was tasty. I think the tour could’ve ended there, but we had no idea how the other wineries were just as excellent. The second winery we went to was Erath Winery. Another great one with stunning views. It was so peaceful there and I loved just hanging out, drinking wine and eating cheese. It was really amazing. I’d give anything right now to go back. I feel like I keep writing how amazing everything was, but it truly was!! The last winery we went to was Zerba’s Cellars. Zerba’s also had wonderful wine and chocolate! At that point on our tour, the chocolate tasted like the best chocolate I’ve ever had. Everybody was so nice and we found out one of the guy’s who run the cellar is married to Everclear’s lead singer older sister who also happens to be Greek. What a small world. You were weird in a sense that you had so much to offer. I loved every moment of this trip! I hope this guide was helpful. Again, this is just what Dina and I did on our trip even though there are so many things to see and do – we wish we had more time, but I have a feeling we shall return one day Portland. I can’t wait to follow along on your trip Darcy!! I hope you have an amazing trip and you’ll love Hotel Lucia! Thank you for always being so supportive – it means sooo much to me (and the rest of the Kollias’ girls)! Definitely on my list of places to go!! Looks amazing!!! ? Looks beautiful!! Love the guide!! Putting it on my bucket list too!! You should definitely go because the entire time we were at the International Rose Test Garden, I kept thinking how you would love it sooo much.

Many secure systems rely on a �human in the loop� to perform security-critical functions. However, humans often fail in their security roles. Whenever possible, secure system designers should find ways of keeping humans out of the loop. However, there are some tasks for which feasible or cost effective alternatives to humans are not available. In these cases secure system designers should engineer their systems to support the humans in the loop and maximize their chances of performing their security-critical functions successfully. We propose a framework for reasoning about the human in the loop that provides a systematic approach to identifying potential causes for human failure. This framework can be used by system designers to identify problem areas before a system is built and proactively address deficiencies. System operators can also use this framework to analyze the root cause of security failures that have been attributed to �human error.� We provide examples to illustrate the applicability of this framework to a variety of secure systems design problems, including anti-phishing warnings and password policies. It is becoming increasingly apparent that humans are a major cause of computer security failures. In the context of secure systems, humans are often thought of as �the weakest link in the chain� . In 2006 the SANS Top 20 Internet Security Vulnerabilities report began listing human vulnerabilities along with software vulnerabilities . A 2006 Computing Technology Industry Association survey found that security managers attribute approximately 60 percent of security breaches to human error, up from 47% the previous year . Social engineering attacks and lack of compliance with organizational security policies are increasingly cited as security concerns. With so many security failures attributed to humans, secure systems that do not rely on a �human in the loop� to perform security-critical functions are attractive. Automated components are generally more accurate and predictable than humans, and automated components don�t get tired or bored . Indeed, in some areas we have seen significant progress towards secure systems that �just work� without human intervention. For example, while early anti-virus programs prompted users to make a decision about every detected virus, today many anti-virus programs automatically repair or quarantine infected files in their default mode of operation. Thus, anti-virus software no longer relies on inexperienced users to make security-critical judgments. When software is likely to be able to make a better security decision than a human, removing the human from the loop may be wise. Likewise, when a user is unlikely to have relevant insights into which configuration options to choose, well-chosen default settings may result in better security-configurations than most humans would achieve on their own. In some cases we don�t seem to be able to avoid relying on humans to perform security-critical functions. There are a number of reasons why it may not be feasible or desirable to automate these functions completely , . Some tasks rely on human knowledge that is currently difficult for a computer to reason about or process. For example, today humans tend to be better than computers at recognizing faces in crowds or noticing other humans who are acting suspiciously . When tasks rely on human knowledge about context, it may be difficult to capture the entire necessary context in a way that a computer can reason about it. For example, a human may be a better judge than a computer about whether an email attachment is suspicious in a particular context. We also rely on humans to make some security-related configuration decisions and to apply policies when it is difficult to encode all of the nuances of a policy or program a computer to handle special cases. In some cases a completely automated system might be too restrictive, inconvenient, expensive, or slow. Some secure systems rely on humans to manipulate or protect physical components, for example, insert a smartcard into a reader and remove it before walking away from the computer. When secure systems rely on the use of secrets, humans must typically store and protect the secrets, and produce them when needed. In addition, most systems that restrict access to only certain humans rely on those humans to participate in the authentication process. When secure systems rely on humans in the loop to perform security-critical functions, threats to system security include not only malicious attackers, but also non-malicious humans who don�t understand when or how to perform security-related tasks, humans who are unmotivated to perform security-related tasks or comply with security policies, and humans who are not capable of making sound security decisions. To protect against these threats, we must systematically analyze the human role in a secure system to identify potential failure modes and find ways to reduce the likelihood of failure. In this paper we propose a framework for reasoning about the human in the loop in a secure system. In Section 2 we provide an overview of the framework and describe its components. In Section 3 we explain how to apply the framework, and show how it can be applied to make recommendations in two different settings. We discuss related work in Section 4 and discuss our conclusions and future work in Section 5. The human-in-the-loop security framework is designed to help us understand the behavior of humans whom we expect to perform security-critical functions. We are primarily interested in understanding the behavior of non-malicious humans—those who intend to maintain the security of a system as well as those who are indifferent to system security, but do not intend to attack the system. While this framework provides some insights into the behavior of attackers, traditional computer security threat modeling techniques may be better suited to identifying vulnerabilities that attackers may exploit. The human-in-the-loop security framework is based on a simple communication-processing model in which a communication is sent to a receiver (the human user), triggering some behavior, as shown in Figure 1. What behavior occurs is dependent on the outcome of several information processing steps taken by the receiver, as well as the personal characteristics of the receiver and the influence of communication impediments. Our framework is built on the Communication-Human Information Processing (C-HIP) model from the warnings science literature . More general transmission models of communication are discussed in the communication theory literature . We discuss the ways our framework differs from the C-HIP model and explain the rationale behind developing a new framework in Section 4. We based our framework on a communication processing model because security-related actions by non-experts are generally triggered by a security-related communication—for example an on-screen alert, software manual, or security tutorial. Indeed, if a human security failure occurs and there is no associated communication that should have triggered a security-critical action, the lack of communication is likely at least partially responsible for the failure. In such situations, if it is not feasible to automate the security-critical action, a good starting point for analysis would be to consider possible communications that might be added to the system and determine whether they would have been likely to prevent the failure. Experts may initiate security-related actions on their own, based on their past training (a communication), or a self-discovered security technique. In the latter case, an individual�s decision to carry out a security plan might be modeled as a communication to oneself. For example, an expert may notice that emails containing hyperlinks in them seem rather suspicious and might decide to adopt the strategy of examining these links before clicking on them. We can consider the decision to adopt this strategy as the relevant communication as we apply our framework. The framework facilitates the analysis of a wide range of secure systems that rely on humans. For example, the warnings provided by anti-phishing toolbars or other security tools are communications that may or may not result in the user heeding the warning, and password policies are communications that may or may not result in users selecting strong passwords. The human-in-the-loop security framework is not intended as a precise model of human information processing, but rather it is a conceptual framework that can be used much like a checklist to systematically analyze the human role in secure systems. The framework, summarized in Appendix A and described in detail below, includes factors and information processing stages that will impact security-related behaviors. However, the relationships between the various components are intentionally vague. While Figure 1 depicts a temporal flow from communication delivery, through communication processing, through application, this should not be interpreted as a strictly linear process. In practice, some of these steps may be omitted or repeated. The first component of the human-in-the-loop framework is the communication, which if all goes well will trigger an appropriate behavior. We distinguish five types of communications that are relevant to security tasks: warnings, notices, status indicators, training, and policies. Warnings are communications that alert users to take immediate action to avoid a hazard. For example, web browsers provide a variety of active pop-up warnings as well as passive warning indicators in the browser chrome to alert users to phishing web sites, expired SSL certificates, and other hazards. While some warnings merely alert users about the presence of a hazard, the most effective warnings generally provide clear instructions about how to avoid the hazard. Effective warnings must get the users� attention and convince them to take an action to avoid or mitigate a hazard. Warnings experts emphasize that warnings should be used only as a last resort when it is not feasible to design a system that fully protects against a hazard . Thus, in cases where we can use software to accurately identify and thwart security threats without user involvement, that is generally preferable to the use of warnings. Notices inform users about characteristics of an entity or object. For example privacy policies and SSL certificates are examples of frequently-encountered notices. Notices may be used by users to evaluate an entity and determine whether interacting with it would be hazardous or consistent with their security or privacy needs. However, generally notices are not intended to be used when an automated tool has determined that a hazard is imminent. Effective notices provide users with the information they need to make judgments. Status indicators inform users about system status information. Generally they have a small number of possible states. Examples of status indicators include taskbar and menu bar indicators that show whether Bluetooth has been enabled or whether anti-virus software is up to date. File permissions information can also be thought of as a status indicator. Training communications are intended to teach users about security threats and how to respond to them. They may take a variety of forms including tutorials, games, instruction manuals, web sites, emails, seminars, courses, and videos. When training is effective, users will not only learn concepts and procedures, but also remember what they learned and recognize situations where they need to apply what they have learned. Policy communications are documents that inform users about system or organizational policies that they are expected to comply with. For example, many organizations have policies about the types of passwords people may use and what types of documents must be encrypted. Policy documents are frequently part of employee handbooks and ISP terms of service documents. Policies may also be conveyed as part of memos or training communications. If policies are to be effective, users must recognize situations where the policy is applicable, understand how to apply the policy, and have the capability and motivation to comply. Some communications fall into more than one of the above categories. For example, notices and status indicators provide objective information for users to interpret as they wish or to consider as part of a trouble-shooting process; however, some might also function as warnings when they provide information that may enable users to make risk-reducing decisions . Another way to classify security communications is to put them on a scale from passive to active. The active communications are designed to interrupt the user�s primary task and force them to pay attention, while the passive communications are available to the user, but easily ignored. At the most extreme active end of the spectrum, the user cannot proceed with the primary task until the user has taken an action related to the communication. For example, the Firefox anti-phishing tool prevents Firefox from loading suspected Phishing web sites unless a user clicks on a link to override the tool�s recommendation. Other active indicators might play sounds or animations to get a user�s attention, without blocking the primary task. Passive communications, on the other hand, may simply change the color of an icon without doing anything to attract the user�s attention. Secure systems designers should consider which type of communication will be most effective in a particular system, as well as where to place it on the active-passive spectrum. They should consider the severity of the hazards that the system is attempting to avoid, the frequency with which the hazard is encountered, and the extent to which appropriate user action is necessary to avoid the hazard. For example, frequent, active warnings about relatively low-risk hazards or hazards that ordinary users are unable to take action to avoid may lead users to start ignoring not only these warnings, but also similar warnings about more severe hazards. A more passive notice or status indicator might be a better choice than a warning in such situations, as it will provide information that may be of use to expert users without interrupting ordinary users for whom it is of minimal use. On the other hand, when hazards are severe and user action is critical, active warnings may be most appropriate, perhaps with links to relevant training. Both environmental stimuli and interference may cause a partial or full communication failure. In the most extreme cases, the receiver might not even be aware that a communication was sent. Environmental stimuli are communications and activities that may divert the user�s attention away from the security communication. These include other related and unrelated communications, ambient light and noise, and the user�s primary task (which the security communication may interrupt). The more passive the communication, the more likely environmental stimuli will prevent users from noticing it. Passive indicators may also compete with each other for the user�s attention. For example, a number of security-related Firefox extensions add passive indicators that clutter the browser chrome, making it difficult for users to focus on any particular one. Interference is anything that may prevent a communication from being received as the sender intended. Interference may be caused by malicious attackers, technology failures, or environmental stimuli that obscure the communication (for example, ambient noise that prevents a user from hearing an audio alert). Traditional secure systems analysis typically focuses on interference, examining whether a critical communication might be blocked or manipulated. In the case of security indicators, the analysis first examines whether the indicator behaves correctly when not under attack, and then whether it behaves correctly when under attack. Does the correct indicator appear at the correct time without false positives or false negatives? Is the indicator resistant to attacks designed to deceive the software into displaying an inappropriate indicator? Can the indicator be spoofed, obscured, or otherwise manipulated so that users are deceived into relying on an indicator provided by an attacker rather than one provided by their system? For example, Ye, et al demonstrated how malicious web servers could cause browsers to display SSL lock icons and certificates, even when no SSL session has been established . The first information-processing step is communication delivery, which includes both attention switch and attention maintenance. The communication will not succeed unless users notice (attention switch) the communication or are made aware of rules, procedures or training messages. They must also pay attention to the communication long enough to process it (attention maintenance). In the case of symbolic indicators, this may mean simply focusing their attention on the indicator long enough to recognize it. For other communications this may mean spending time reading, watching, or listening to it fully. Environmental stimuli and interference, as well as characteristics of the communication (format, font size, length, delivery channel) will impact attention switch and maintenance . In addition, communication delivery may also be impacted by habituation, the tendency for the impact of a stimulus to decrease over time as people become more accustomed to it. In practice this means that over time users may ignore security indicators that they observe frequently. It can be easy for a system designer to overlook communication delivery failures as a potential underlying cause of human security failures, especially when the communication is properly displayed and the user simply fails to notice it. However, there is evidence that many users don�t notice a variety of security indicators in software they use regularly. For example, user studies indicate that some users have never noticed the presence of the SSL lock icon in their web browser , . A study that used an eye tracker to observe participants� behaviors when visiting SSL-enabled websites found that most users do not even attempt to look for the lock icon . The next information-processing step is communication processing, which includes comprehension and knowledge acquisition. Comprehension refers to the user�s ability to understand the communication. The user�s familiarity with indicator symbols and their similarity to related symbols, the conceptual complexity of the communication, and the vocabulary and sentence structure will all impact comprehension. Short, jargon-free sentences, use of familiar symbols, and unambiguous statements about risk will aid comprehension . Knowledge acquisition refers to the user�s ability to not only understand a communication, but also to learn what to do in response to it. A user may comprehend a security warning and understand that they must take action to avoid a hazard, yet be unsure about what specific steps to take to avoid that hazard. Knowledge acquisition depends on the extent of training provided to the user and their involvement during the training. In many cases warnings are accompanied by little or no training in hazard avoidance, and thus unless users have received previous training they are unlikely to know what they are supposed to do when they see the warning. Thus, a good warning will include specific instructions on how to avoid the hazard. Communicating clearly to non-experts about computer security is challenging, and communication-processing failures are common. It is difficult to write about computer security concepts without using technical jargon, and security-related concepts are difficult to represent clearly with icons. For example, most users do not understand the meaning of web browser security symbols and pop-up warnings , . Anecdotal evidence suggests that the lock icon variations used by Firefox 2 to indicate certificate problems and the eyeball icons used by IE and Netscape Navigator to indicate blocked cookies are meaningless to the vast majority of users, including security experts. The final information-processing step is application, which consists of knowledge retention and knowledge transfer. Knowledge retention refers to the user�s ability to remember the communication when a situation arises in which they need to apply it, and to recognize and recall the meaning of symbols or instructions. Knowledge retention is impacted by the frequency and familiarity of the communication, the user�s long-term memory abilities, and the level of interactivity of training activities. Knowledge transfer refers to the ability of users to recognize situations where the communication is applicable and figure out how to apply it. Knowledge transfer is impacted by the level of interactivity of training activities as well as the degree of similarity between training examples and situations where knowledge should be applied. For example, users may retain knowledge from anti-phishing training, and use it to analyze email messages similar to those shown in the training materials. If they can apply this knowledge to other types of email messages, or even to suspicious messages sent through other channels then they have also transferred this knowledge. In the case of security warnings that appear automatically whenever the system detects a hazard, knowledge transfer may be unnecessary, as there is no need for the user to figure out on their own when a warning is applicable. Personal variables include demographics and personal characteristics, as well as knowledge and experience. Demographics and personal characteristics that impact the receiver may include age, gender, culture, education, occupation, and disabilities. When designing a secure system that relies on humans, it is important to consider who these humans are likely to be and what their personal characteristics suggest about how they are likely to behave. It is also important to consider what relevant knowledge and experience these humans are likely to have. The users� education, occupation, and prior experience will impact this. Personal variables may impact a user�s ability to comprehend and apply communications, and their intention and capability to take appropriate actions. For example, expert users with computer-security-related training and experience may be more likely to understand complicated instructions than novice users. On the other hand, experts may also be more likely to second-guess security warnings and, perhaps erroneously, conclude that the situation is less risky than it actually is. Intentions includes attitudes and beliefs, as well as motivation – factors that will influence whether a user decides that a communication is worth paying attention to and acting upon. A number of theories and models of behavioral compliance are useful for understanding why users may receive and comprehend a communication, yet decide not to bother complying with it . Relevant attitudes and beliefs include beliefs about the accuracy of the communication, whether they should pay attention to it, their ability to complete recommended actions successfully (self-efficacy), whether recommended actions will be effective (response-efficacy), how long it will take to complete recommended actions, and their general attitude towards the communication (trust, annoyance, etc.) . Motivation addresses the incentives users have to take the appropriate action and to do it carefully or properly. Since security communications often distract users from their primary tasks, security goals may be in conflict with a user�s primary goals and their attitudes and motivation may be colored by their perception of security risk and importance they place on the security communication versus the primary task. If users tend to view delays in completing the primary task as more important to avoid than security risks, then they will tend to ignore the security communication. Attitudes and beliefs might be further influenced by a user�s past experience with a particular security indicator. For example, if the indicator has displayed erroneous warnings (false positives) in the past, users may be less inclined to take it seriously. Organizations might create incentives for complying (or disincentives for not complying) with security policies that serve as additional motivation. There are a number of approaches that can be taken to motivate users to take security-related actions. Whenever possible, security tasks should be designed so that they are easy to perform and minimize disruption to a user�s workflow so that users do not perceive these tasks as overly burdensome. Users should also be taught about the security risks involved so they can appreciate the consequences of security failures and that their actions might lead to security failures or hazard avoidance. Any relevant cultural norms that might serve as disincentives to good security practice should also be identified and addressed. Finally, within an organization, rewards and punishments may be useful motivational tools. Finally, even if receivers comprehend a communication, understand how to apply it, and recognize a situation where they should apply it, a failure may still occur if they do not have the capability to take the appropriate actions. Depending on what these actions are, specific knowledge, or cognitive or physical skills may be necessary to complete the action. In some cases specific software or devices may also be required. For example, the ability to remember random-looking strings is a capability demanded by many password policies. Many users fail to comply with these policies because they are not capable of performing this memory task. The goal of a security communication is to produce the desired behavior. The receiver�s information processing steps, personal variables, intention, and capability, interact with any environmental stimuli and interference to influence the human receiver�s behavior. In the best case, the receiver properly understands what action needs to be taken and proceeds to take that action. However, failures may still occur at this stage when users are unable to actually complete the action successfully or determine whether they have carried out the action properly. Norman describes the gap between a person�s intentions to carry out an action and the mechanisms provided by a system to facilitate that action as a Gulf of Execution . For example, a user may be aware that anti-virus software is out of date and that they need to take action to update this software. However, they may be unable to find the menu item in their anti-virus software that facilitates this update. On the other hand, a user may complete an action, but may be unable to interpret the results of the action to determine whether it was successful. Norman refers to this as a Gulf of Evaluation . The Gulf of Evaluation is large when it is difficult for users to determine what state a system is in. For example, Maxion and Reeder found that users have trouble determining effective file permissions in Windows XP . Thus, when users change file permissions settings, it is difficult for them to determine whether they have achieved the desired outcome. The gulf of execution and gulf of evaluation can be minimized through good design. To minimize the gulf of execution, designers should make sure security communications include clear instructions about how to execute the desired actions. They should also examine the interface components or hardware that must be manipulated to make sure the proper use of these components is readily apparent. To minimize the gulf of evaluation, designers should make sure that software and devices provide relevant feedback so that users can determine whether their actions have resulted in the desired outcome. For example, after a usability study of cryptographic smart cards revealed that users have trouble figuring out how to insert these cards into card readers, Piazzalunga et al. recommended that visual cues be printed on the cards themselves (reducing the gulf of execution) and that the card readers provide feedback to indicate when a card has been properly inserted (reducing the gulf of evaluation) . James Reason developed the Generic Error-Modeling System (GEMS), a theory of human error that distinguishes three types of errors: mistakes, lapses, and slips. Mistakes occur when people formulate action plans that will not achieve the desired goal. For example, a na�ve user may decide to evaluate an email message before opening an attachment by checking to see whether the message was sent by someone the user knows. However, this plan will result in a mistake when a friend�s computer is infected with a worm that propagates by email messages to everyone in her address book. Lapses occur when people formulate suitable action plans, but then forget to perform a planned action, for example skipping a step in a sequence of actions. Slips occur when people perform an action incorrectly, for example press the wrong button or select the wrong menu item . Good design can reduce the chance of mistakes, lapses, and slips. Designers should develop clear communications that convey specific instructions so as to reduce the chance that users will make mistakes while completing security-critical tasks. They should minimize the number of steps necessary to complete the task and, whenever possible, provide cues to guide users through the sequence of steps and prevent lapses. To prevent slips, designers should locate the necessary controls where they are accessible and arrange and label them so that they will not be mistaken for one another. Secure systems often rely on randomness to prevent attackers from exploiting predictable patterns to breach system security. Thus, failure can also occur at the behavior stage when users successfully perform the desired actions, but do so in a manner that follows predictable patterns that an attacker might exploit. For example, a number of studies on graphical passwords have found that users select these passwords according to predictable patterns. Davis et al. found that students using a graphical password system based on images of faces tended to select attractive faces from their own race. They demonstrated that an attacker who knows the race and gender of a user can use that knowledge to substantially reduce the number of guesses required to guess a password. Thorpe and van Oorschot found that many background images used in click-based graphical password schemes have a small number of popular �hot spots� from which users tend to select their password click points. They demonstrate techniques an attacker can use to learn what these hot spots are and substantially reduce the number of guesses required to guess a password . Designers should consider whether an attacker might be able to exploit predictable user behavior, and if so, find ways to encourage less predictable behavior or prevent users from behaving in ways that fit known patterns (e.g. prohibit passwords that contain dictionary words). We designed the human-in-the-loop security framework to be used as part of a four-step iterative process in which human threats to system security are identified and mitigated. This process is illustrated in Figure 2. The human threat identification and mitigation process can be conducted at the design phase to proactively reduce opportunities for human security failures. It can also be conducted after a system has been implemented and deployed to identify the cause of observed failures and find ways of mitigating them. In the task identification step the secure system designer identifies all of the points where the system relies on humans to perform security-critical functions. This can be done by enumerating the points of human interaction with a secure system and considering which of these interactions are critical to security. In the task automation step, the designer attempts to find ways to partially or fully automate some of the security-critical human tasks. This may or may not be possible or desirable, depending on the type of task. One way of automating tasks is to replace user decision steps with well-chosen defaults or automated decision making. Whenever software developers build systems in which end users are asked to make security configuration decisions or answer questions posed by pop-up security alerts, they should consider whether the anticipated users will have expertise or information that will allow them to make a better decision than the software developer can implement through an automated process or a default setting . Edwards et al. describe the limits of security automation in detail and propose a set of guidelines for appropriate security automation . In the failure identification step, the designer identifies potential failure modes for the remaining security-critical human tasks. The human-in-the-loop security framework offers a systematic approach to identifying these failure modes. User studies can provide empirical evidence as to which failures occur in practice and additional insights into the reasons for these failures. If empirical data is not available, the framework can suggest areas where user studies are needed. In the failure mitigation step, the designer tries to find ways to prevent failures by determining how humans might be better supported in performing these tasks . For example, context-sensitive help and decision-support tools might assist humans as they perform security tasks. Automated error checking tools might warn users if they appear to be making mistakes. Alerts might remind them that a task remains to be done. Visualizations might make it easier for them to spot anomalies or understand the overall system state. Training materials might help them better understand the tasks they must perform. Warnings might be better designed to communicate more effectively. In many cases it may be possible to reduce the burden on humans, even if it can�t be completely eliminated. User studies can help designers evaluate the effectiveness of their failure mitigation efforts. After completing a first pass through the four-step process, designers may revisit some or all of the steps to try to further reduce the risk of human security failures. For example, if after completing the mitigation step designers are unable to reduce human failure rates to an acceptable level, they might return to the automation step and explore whether it is feasible to develop an automated approach that would perform more reliably than humans. An automated approach known to be imperfect might have been considered and dismissed during the first pass through the process, but might be reconsidered during a second pass once it is discovered that human performance on a given task is even less reliable than the automated tool. In Appendix B we present two case studies to illustrate how to apply the human-in-the-loop security framework in the human threat identification and mitigation process. Security researchers often evaluate the effectiveness of systems as measured by their ability to resist various forms of attack. They typically envision a threat model in which a determined attacker will attempt to �fool the software� by disabling the security software, performing a malicious action in an undetectable manner, or deceiving the security software into interpreting a malicious action as an innocuous one. More recently security researchers have expanded their threat models to include semantic attacks , in which attackers attempt to �fool the humans� by obscuring or visually spoofing the indicators provided by their security software. However, this work tends to focus on how to prevent sophisticated semantic attacks by developing unspoofable indicators , . But humans are often fooled by much simpler attacks and may even ignore the (usually correct) warnings provided by their security software . Cranor proposed a series of questions that can be used to analyze the human factors criteria associated with security indicators and identify areas of potential failure. These questions can be mapped to models of warning processing from the warning science literature, for example the C-HIP model on which the human-in-the-loop framework is based . Research on how to create the most effective warnings goes back at least 100 years—for example, research was performed at Yale University between 1904 and 1906 to determine the most effective colors for railroad signals, and the results were subsequently field tested before red, yellow, and green were adopted as standards in 1908. However, most warnings have been introduced to address industry needs, with little or no scientific evaluation of their effectiveness , . In the past two decades, interest in warnings research has increased, and peer-reviewed studies are now being published in this area. Wogalter proposed the C-HIP model to identify reasons that a particular warning is ineffective . Similar to the human-in-the-loop framework, the C-HIP model begins with a source delivering a warning to a receiver, who receives it along with other environmental stimuli that may distract from the message. The receiver goes through several information processing steps, which ultimately determine whether the warning results in any change in behavior. This model is directly applicable to computer security warnings. However, we have added some components to address failures that are typical in a computer security context. We have added a capabilities component because we have observed that human security failures are sometimes attributed to humans being asked to complete tasks that they are not capable of completing. We have also added an interference component because computer security communications may be impeded by an active attacker or technology failures. We have modified C-HIP to apply more generally to the five types of computer security communications outlined in Section 2.1. The knowledge acquisition, knowledge retention, and knowledge transfer steps are especially applicable to training and policy communications. Finally, we have explicitly called out two types of personal variables and restructured the human receiver representation to emphasize related concepts over temporal flow. In his seminal book, The Design of Everyday Things, Don Norman proposed a seven-stage �action cycle� to describe how humans proceed from formulating a goal, through executing an action, to evaluating whether or not the action achieved the intended goal. He described how the action cycle can be used as a check-list for design so as to avoid the gulfs of execution and evaluation . Norman�s focus was on the design of physical objects such as radios and film projectors, but his seven stages of action are applicable to software user interfaces as well. The human-in-the-loop framework incorporates concepts from Norman�s action cycle, as well as James Reasons� Generic-Error Modeling System (GEMS) . Brostoff and Sasse have also applied concepts from GEMS to systematically identify and address human security failures. They focus on the distinction between the active failures described by GEMS and latent failures that predispose a system to failures. They propose a model that represents errors in five areas: decision-makers, line managers, preconditions, productive activities, and defenses . Brostoff and Sasse�s approach is more organization-centric, while the human-in-the-loop framework is more user-centric. There are three high-level strategies for building secure systems that humans can use. The first strategy is to find ways to get humans out of the loop and build systems that �just work� without involving humans in security-critical functions. Secure systems designers should consider what functions performed by humans might be automated, and what configuration choices might be replaced by default settings that are generally appropriate. The second strategy is to build systems that are intuitive and find ways of making them easy to use. Secure systems designers should engineer human tasks to maximize the chances that humans will perform them successfully. The third strategy is to teach humans how to perform security-critical tasks. Here we must find effective ways of teaching complicated concepts to humans who may not be all that receptive to learning them. In most cases we are unable to rely on just one of these strategies and must adopt a multi-pronged approach to secure system usability. We have proposed a framework for reasoning about the human in the loop in secure systems that is intended to help secure systems designers and operators reduce the occurrence of human security failures. Whenever it is not possible to get humans completely out of the loop in a secure system, it is important that the human�s role in performing security-critical functions be considered in any security analysis, and that potential failure modes be identified. The human-in-the loop security framework provides a systematic approach to identifying these failure modes and identifying their root causes. It can be applied as part of a human threat identification and mitigation process during system design to identify potential problem areas so that they can be addressed prior to implementation. The framework can also be used to analyze deployed systems to gain insights into why they are failing and to determine where corrective actions should be taken. Future work is needed to validate the usefulness of the human-in-the-loop framework to security engineers, and to provide more concrete guidance on how to operationalize the human threat identification and mitigation process. So far we have focused on the identification of failure modes. Future work should develop more specific guidelines and design patterns for mitigating human threats by automating security-critical human tasks and better supporting humans as they perform these tasks.

What type of communication is it (warning, notice, status indicator, policy, training)? Is communication active or passive? Is this the best type of communication for this situation? What other environmental stimuli are likely to be present? Will anything interfere with the communication being delivered as intended? Who are the users? What do their personal characteristics suggest about how they are likely to behave? What relevant knowledge or experience do the users or recipients have? Do users believe the communication is accurate? Do they believe they should pay attention to it? Do they have a positive attitude about it? Are users motivated to take the appropriate action? Are thy motivated to do it carefully or properly? Are users capable of taking the appropriate action? Do users notice the communication? Are they aware of rules, procedures, or training messages? Do users pay attention to the communication long enough to process it? Do they read, watch, or listen to it fully? Do users understand what the communication means? Have users learned how to apply it in practice? Do they know what they are supposed to do? Do users remember the communication when a situation arises in which they need to apply it? Do they recognize and recall the meaning of symbols or instructions? Can users recognize situations where the communication is applicable and figure out how to apply it? Does behavior result in successful completion of desired action? Does behavior follow predictable patterns that an attacker might exploit? Anti-phishing tools that provide passive warning indicators in web browser toolbars have been found to be largely ineffective at preventing users from accessing phishing web sites . Recent versions of Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox browsers include more active anti-phishing warnings that block access to suspicious web sites unless a user explicitly chooses to override the warning. When Firefox suspects a site is fraudulent it greys out the page and displays a pop-up warning that does not look similar to other browser warnings. When IE suspects a site is fraudulent it can either load the page and display a passive warning that will be dismissed if the user types anything into the browser, or it can display an active warning instead of loading the page. Users can choose to ignore any of these warnings and proceed to the suspicious site. We will apply the human threat identification and mitigation process and the human-in-the-loop security framework to help us determine whether the new anti-phishing warnings effectively protect users from phishing attacks and how they can be improved. Empirical evidence from user studies provides insights into the failure modes. Task identification. The IE and Firefox anti-phishing tools rely on human users to decide whether to heed the warning and leave a suspicious site or ignore the warning and proceed to visit that site. Task automation. This human decision could be eliminated by blocking access to suspicious sites without offering an override option. Arguably, if the false positive rate associated with the automated phishing detection tool is sufficiently low and the risk associated with visiting a phishing site is significant, it would be better to completely block users from visiting suspicious sites rather than presenting them with warnings and letting them decide what to do. However, for the time being browser vendors believe they must offer users the override option. � Communication impediments: Environmental stimuli can include other browser warnings, the user�s email client and/or other applications related to the user�s primary task, and other ambient conditions that may distract the user. We are not aware of attacks that interfere with the display of IE and Firefox anti-phishing warnings; however, the IE passive warning usually loads a few seconds after the page loads, and if users start filling out a web form they can inadvertently dismiss the passive warning before they notice it is there . � Personal variables: Web browser anti-phishing tools are used by people with a wide range of knowledge, abilities, and other personal characteristics, many of whom have little or no knowledge about phishing. � Intentions: A user study found that most users who read the warnings believed they should heed them and were motivated to heed them. However, a few users did not believe the warnings were important, generally because they confused them with other warnings, they did not trust them, or they did not believe the risk was severe. One user commented �since it gave me the option of still proceeding to the website, I figured it couldn�t be that bad� . � Capabilities: A user study found that users are capable of taking the appropriate action, closing the browser window or navigating to a different web site. However, those with inaccurate mental models may be incapable of making an informed decision about whether to take this action . � Communication delivery: A user study found that users noticed the Firefox warning and active IE warning. Many users did not notice the passive IE warning. Some users in the study did not fully read the warnings. Some users erroneously believed that the IE warning was one of the frequently-encountered browser warnings such as a 404 page not found warning . In another user study of three simulated passive anti-phishing warnings that displayed symbols in a browser toolbar, 25% of participants claimed they had not noticed the warnings, even after being explicitly instructed to look for them . � Communication processing: Most of the users in the Egelman et al study understood the warnings and knew what they were supposed to do. Firefox users were more likely to correctly understand the warnings than IE users. Some users who were not previously aware of phishing attacks appeared to have erroneous mental models of the situation and thus misinterpreted the warnings. These users assumed that the email containing the link to the suspicious web site was legitimate and that the warning indicated that there was a transient problem with the web site. They clicked on the link in the email repeatedly in an attempt to reach the web site without triggering the warning . � Behavior: All users in the study who understood the warnings and decided to heed them were able to do so successfully. Although users who clicked on the link in the email repeatedly were actually making a mistake, it ultimately resulted in the users not accessing the suspicious web sites, which was the desired outcome. Thus it appears that the Firefox and active IE warnings tend to fail safely . Predictability of behavior is not relevant to this situation. Failure mitigation. This analysis suggests that the Firefox and active IE warning are much more effective than the passive IE warning, and that the passive IE warning should be replaced with an active warning. The active IE warning could be made more effective by making it look less similar to non-critical warnings. A number of studies suggest that many users have formed inaccurate mental models related to phishing, and that these faulty models lead to mistakes , , , . The warnings include links to educational materials about phishing, but we don�t have empirical evidence about how frequently users consult this material and whether they understand it (the human-in-the-loop framework could be applied to analyze the effectiveness of these educational materials). Additional anti-phishing training delivered through other channels might be helpful for educating users with inaccurate mental models , . It might also be useful to provide users with information they can use to decide whether to heed or ignore the warning, as the IE and Firefox warnings did not explain to users why they were being presented with this choice. The warning might provide additional explanations about why the site is suspicious and offer users the option of visiting the real site that the suspicious site appears to be spoofing . The human threat identification and mitigation process suggested a possible approach to getting the human out of the loop altogether in this case, and a number of ways anti-phishing warnings could be improved. The failure identification step highlighted the need to find ways to correct users� inaccurate mental models about phishing and suggested that it would be useful to study the use and effectiveness of links to educational materials in anti-phishing warnings. Many organizations have policies that specify how users should select their passwords. Typical password policies specify minimum password lengths, mandate a combination of different types of characters, and require that users select different passwords for each system they use and remember these passwords without writing them down. Some policies also require users to change their password frequently. Password policies generally prohibit users from sharing their passwords with other people. In practice, people tend not to comply fully with password policies . For example, Gaw and Felten found evidence of widespread password reuse . We will apply the human threat identification and mitigation process and the human-in-the-loop security framework to help us determine how an organization might improve compliance with their password policy. Task identification. Users must select passwords that comply with the policy, remember them without writing them down, recall them when needed, and refrain from sharing them. Task automation. To simplify the password creation task, the system might generate random passwords and assign them to users. However, these passwords are likely to be too difficult for users to remember. Alternatively, tools might provide feedback to users on the quality of their passwords and suggest improvements . Single sign-on systems or secure password vaults might be deployed to reduce the number of passwords that must be remembered. Alternative authentication mechanisms might also be considered . � Communication impediments: Environmental stimuli combined with the desire of users to create their password quickly so they can access a system may interfere with policy communication. � Personal variables: Most organizations have users with a wide range of demographics, knowledge, and experience (complete novice through security expert); however, this will depend on the organization. � Intentions: Users tend to find password policies inconvenient and may not appreciate the importance of protecting their password, especially if they do not believe it protects a resource that an attacker would value. Thus, they may have little motivation to comply with a password policy. The policy may also conflict with users� goals when users view password sharing as necessary to facilitate tasks that require multiple people to edit a document. � Capabilities: User studies suggest that people are capable of following typical password security guidance to create compliant passwords [Kuo et al]. However, people are not good at remembering random-looking passwords. Most people are incapable of memorizing the numerous passwords they must typically use . This problem is exacerbated when people are required to change their passwords frequently . � Communication delivery: Most computer users appear to be aware of the typical password security guidance, indicating they have read it at least once, and likely multiple times. � Communication processing: Recent user studies suggest that most people now understand typical password security guidance and know what they are supposed to do to apply it . � Application: Users appear to be generally familiar with password security policies and know how to apply them. It is likely that they are fully aware of when they are violating these policies, although this should be verified with a user study. � Behavior: Users who intend to follow policies on password creation are generally able to do so without error. However, the passwords users create may still be somewhat predictable, despite adherence to policy. For example, Kuo et al found that users advised to select passwords based on mnemonic phrases often selected well-known phrases on which to base their passwords . Failure mitigation. The most critical failure appears to be a capabilities failure: people are not capable of remembering large numbers of policy-compliant passwords. This can be addressed by reducing the number of passwords people must remember through single sign-on and alternative authentication mechanisms. Organizations should also consider whether the security benefits associated with frequent, mandatory password changes make up for the tendency of users to violate other parts of the password policy because they cannot remember frequently-changed passwords. Motivation failures may become less of an issue if the capability failure can be addressed in a way that is consistent with employee workflows. Training communications that explain the rationale behind password policies may also mitigate motivation failures. Finally, the problem of users creating passwords that are not random enough can be addressed through better guidance at password creation time and software tools that support users in the password creation process.

On Wednesday, a Japanese company called ispace announced that it has two missions planned to the Moon within the next three years and that it has acquired ride-share launches on two Falcon 9 rockets to carry out those flights. The company’s founder, Takeshi Hakamada, also said he has a long-term vision to have a city on the Moon visited by 10,000 people a year by 2040. Under ispace’s plans, a “mother” rover would deploy a “child” rover. If this all sounds a little too ambitious, well, welcome to the world of aerospace, which is always heavy on promotion and big ideas. And we like that. NASA didn’t land on the Moon because it was timid. However, we also feel compelled to bring at least a splash of realism to the conversation. The two missions ispace announced Wednesday are an orbiter launch in mid-2020 and a more complicated lander-and-rover mission a year later. Both will be secondary payloads on Falcon 9 rocket launches, being released by the rocket’s second stage in geostationary transfer orbit. From there, they will proceed to the Moon under their own propulsive power. The initial orbiter is a relatively straightforward mission. Jamie Denniston, the lead lander engineer for the company, said mission success would be reaching lunar orbit. Beyond that, the company hopes to take images of the surface and validate some of its navigation systems for future missions. Following this mission, ispace has completed a preliminary design review of its lander, which houses two rovers. There is a larger “mother” rover that can then deploy a smaller “child” rover to enter into “skylights” that lead to lunar lava tubes. The child rover would remain attached to its mother rover by a tether, which would provide power and communications. This is both strikingly cool and ambitious. Mission success does not require these complex maneuvers, however. For this mission, due to launch in mid-2021, ispace defines mission success as making a soft landing and surviving on the Moon’s surface for one day. Any exploration activities, or lava tube forays, will be considered a bonus. During a teleconference with several reporters, Hakamada said the company hopes to demonstrate to potential customers the initial capability to deliver 30kg of payload to the lunar surface. But he also has longer-term plans that will allow it to serve customers seeking to reach the lunar surface with larger payloads. Plus, the company is developing the capability to mine ice from the lunar poles to convert the hydrogen and oxygen into rocket fuel. “Around 2030 we expect to begin developing propellant and sending it to spacecraft in space,” Hakamada said. He hopes that by then, there will be several hundred people working on the Moon, or in lunar orbit, to support an industrial base. A decade later, by 2040, he envisions a city called “Moon Valley” on the lunar surface, with a diverse array of industries and thousands of visitors per year. “We believe we can establish such a world if we can actively develop our capability in the current speed,” Hakamada said. Hakamada led the team named Hakuto in the Google Lunar X Prize, which no teams were able to win by the project’s deadline earlier this year. Since that competition ended, Hakamada has continued to work for the ispace company he founded. He says the company has raised $95 million so far, enough to finance the orbiter and lander mission. The longer-term goals are laudable, but the company seems to seriously underestimate the difficulty of reaching lunar ice, harvesting it under extremely cold conditions, and producing propellant from ice. These are all significant engineering challenges in unprecedented conditions. Moreover, even under optimistic circumstances, NASA’s plans to return to the Moon wouldn’t put a handful of humans—let alone hundreds—on the lunar surface before the late 2020s, and China doesn’t intend for such landings until the early 2030s.

The incidents that took place in the vicinity of Salford Precinct on the 9 August 2011 occurred prior to and took a quite distinct form from the more widespread rioting and looting two miles away in Manchester city-centre. The riot events in Salford occurred following the Greater Manchester Police's riot-equipped officers pursuing a number of individuals involved in criminal damage onto a social housing estate neighbouring the Precinct. The police remained on the estate for some time as a large crowd began to gather, ultimately engaging the police in a violent confrontation, and going on to attack or loot a number of buildings (including an off-licence, a housing office, a pawn shop and perhaps most infamously a Lidl supermarket). In exploring the dynamics of this event there is a need to focus especially on issues of local context.

Home to the oldest congregation (1796) in Marietta, The First Congregational Church was originally built in 1807 as a wood-frame church. Almost a century later in 1905, a fire destroyed that structure. A year later, the church was rebuilt, this time out of yellow brick, and was dedicated on the same spot.

A new development designed by the architects Ron and Jim Vari, 33rd Street Square acknowledges both past and present in rapidly changing Bridgeport. The cutouts and big modular panels give the place a contemporary feel, while the red-brick construction recalls the neighborhood’s traditional housing. The development (at 33rd Street and South Parnell Avenue) also positions every unit to take advantage of the two best local views: the fireworks over U.S. Cellular Field and the city skyline. Each of the 11 units has one upper-floor terrace looking south and another looking north. “You’re never going to want to go inside all summer,” says Jennifer Liu, an Atland Realty agent selling units in the building. The spaces inside are roomy and bathed in light from a two-story gridwork of windows; in most of them, an overlook from one floor to another also helps light reach the lower level. At presstime, three units remained at 33rd Street Square, all ready for occupancy. The lowest-cost unit is a 2,800-square-foot three-bedroom unit priced at $559,000; at the upper end, a 3,400-square-foot corner unit with dramatic cutouts and light wells is priced at $675,000.

The substantial demand for oxygen generation in healthcare industry, environmental and chemical industrial processes is growing with the development of modern society. Low-cost oxygen production is of great importance in energy conservation and emission reduction. Because of the potential application in pure oxygen production with low cost compared to the traditional oxygen producing technology (cryogenic process), mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) oxygen-permeable membrane, a promising alternative for pure oxygen production, has attracted considerable attentions. However, the most challenging issue existing in these technologies before commercial application is to develop advanced materials with high performance operated at low temperature. Recently, Ph. D student Jiawei Zhu under the guidance of Prof. Jin et al. has published a new paper “Unprecedented Perovskite Oxyfluoride Membranes with High-Efficiency Oxygen Ion Transport Paths for Low-Temperature Oxygen Permeation” in Advanced Materials (DOI: 10.1002/adma.201505959, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.201505959/full). As a next generation of MIEC membranes, perovskite oxyfluoride membranes feature extraordinary performance for oxygen permeation, which greatly transcends the performance of state-of-the-art MIEC membranes and completely fulfils the commercial requirements at low temperature (< 923 K).

Q: 1 What is the uniform fabric has been used? A: The uniform is generally used with a mesh cloth. The T-shirt T-shirt fabrics with plain weave fabric generally. The above two can be divided into polyester, T \ C, CVC, cotton. No polyester cotton, T \ C cotton cloth containing about 25%. CVC cotton cloth containing about 60%, by definition, that is, all of the texture of cotton is cotton. More easily with lower cotton fluff ball (plain fabric mesh fabric is generally easier than pilling). Cotton fabrics more difficult to fluff ball, but the drawback is easy to shrink and wrinkle deformation. Recommended collar and round neck T-shirt Tee applications CVC fabric, fluff ball short time, the deformation will not shrink. Q: 2 How can speed up sweat shirt? A: made from recycled polyester jersey that 13% lighter weight jersey and make stretching more than 10%. Each line caused by the yarn spinning, rapid evaporation of sweat, so jersey to keep light and dry. Q: 3 What is the natural fibers and synthetic fibers, respectively? A: There are two natural fibers, animal and plant can be divided into two. Animals, animal fiber is hair, skin, or silk, etc.; plant fiber is commonly used for cotton and linen. Man-made fibers are petroleum by-products. Q: 4 What are the characteristics of natural fibers? A: natural fibers, animal hair or skin, both soft and extremely warm, suitable for wearing in cold areas, but there are some on the clean and retention difficulties. Silk is soft and smooth texture easily but breathable, making skin feel cool, but the silk likely to have wrinkles, moisture resistance is poor, leading to high prices and limited production of cleaning and maintenance difficulties. Q: 5 Natural fibers and synthetic fibers What are the advantages and disadvantages? A: The hemp plant fiber, relatively coarse fiber, textile fabric, although straight out of the appearance, but the disadvantages is that it gives a rough feel. In addition, the cotton woven cotton, the plant is widely used fiber materials. This is because cotton can be breathable, absorbent good, but also warm and not with a static, and easy to grow, the price is right, it could be popular, but cotton is easy to wrinkled. Man-made fibers are petroleum by-products, low production costs, the advantages are quite complete, washable, quick drying and cold. Instead the risk of man-made fibers are flammable, easy to vacuum caused by allergies and other Egypt, together with the chemical structure of the lack of man-made fiber fabric hydrophilic gene, moisture absorption and ventilation is poor, it is difficult to absorb sweat, prolonged exposure to this type of clothing, skin will often sweat and clothes of chemical stimulation, easily lead to "chemical dermatitis." Q: 6 How to tell the cloth harmful? A: cloth with harmful chemicals, the main killer is formaldehyde. We have to distinguish whether the remaining excess of formaldehyde clothing, mainly through the sense of smell to determine, because formaldehyde has stimulated the taste, so do not buy clothes smell unusual. If the clothing does not come from a reputable brand, even if there is no obvious irritant smell, are advised to purchase after immersion in water, wash before wearing through. Because formaldehyde soluble in water, so after washing, which can effectively remove the residual formaldehyde in clothing. Q: 7 toxic impact of clothing on the body? A: decomposable aromatic amine widely used by the textile sector, the main reason is because they are inexpensive, this type of dye color range, bright durable, easy to color and solid color and high degree. In the hot summer heat, sweat easily degradable clothing dye, so that harmful substances penetrate the skin with sweat, ranging from would cause headache, vomiting, cough, insomnia, nausea and fatigue and discomfort, weight is more carcinogenic. Study of the medical profession had long-term exposure to toxic dyes such people will be suffering from bladder cancer was nearly 30 times. 1 chemical dermatitis - In addition, some synthetic fabrics lack the chemical structure of hydrophilic gene, moisture and poor ventilation, easy to evaporate and absorb sweat, with a strong static, long-term repeated exposure to these allergens when underwear, skin sweat and the clothes will be on the chemical stimulation, easily lead to "chemical dermatitis." 3 acute inflammation or toxicity - on the left in the fiber fabric dimethyl formamide, formaldehyde on human skin, eyes and mucous membranes and other organs to stimulate the largest lead after inhaled too much headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms of poisoning, serious injuries but also the gastrointestinal tract, causing gastrointestinal bleeding; also easy to damage the liver, malaise, poor appetite, more likely, hepatomegaly and elevated aminotransferases of the situation. Q: 8 What is the Single Jersey and double plain? A: plain cloth is woven into the plain. Single Jersey is on both sides of fabric textures are different. Double knitting is plain that both sides of the same or nearly the same. Double plain is generally thicker, more suitable for long-sleeved t shirt, and Single Jersey are more suitable for short-sleeved t shirt. Q: 9 What type of plain cloth and what the pros and cons? A: can be divided into plain weave cotton fabric, CVC, T / C, imitation cotton. Cotton is cotton that is 100%. Advantage is better performance sweat, more breathable, easy to cramped, but the disadvantage is easier to fold and easier to shrink. CVC is 50% -99% cotton, 60% cotton, generally, other components are polyester. CVC has the advantage of the advantages of cotton, plain weave cotton cloth, but in no one's shortcomings, after adding the polyester fabric that is more to come forward, easy to fold, easier to dry, shrink the case also are small, compared with cotton there will be a little baked, but it is generally difficult to detect, other than CVC cotton t shirt plain easier to dry. Q: 10 What are the advantages of cotton fabric and disadvantages? A: Advantages: good moisture absorption / permeability, soft and comfortable to wear, can be warm, easy to dye, color bright, alkali, heat resistance, suitable for making children's clothing and summer clothing. Disadvantages: poor acid resistance, flexibility is not high, high shrinkage, easy wrinkling, easy to mold, for a long time and sun exposure, the fiber will harden and crisp. Q: 11 What is hemp fabric strengths and weaknesses? A: Advantages: high strength, thermal conductivity, high moisture absorption ability than cotton, is not sensitive to the acid-base reaction, anti-fungal, not easy to damp moldy, bright color, not faded, the color temperature is high, water-jet printing directly on the opposite side iron. Disadvantages: uncomfortable to wear, the appearance of rough, blunt. Q: 12 What are the advantages of wool fabrics and disadvantages? A: Advantages: fastness wear, warm, flexible, anti-wrinkle, not fade. Disadvantages: easy to shrink, heat resistance is poor, because a prolonged period will lead to tissue damage under strong light, wool susceptible to insects, friction will often fluff ball. Q: 13 What are the advantages of silk fabrics and disadvantages? A: Advantages: soft, smooth, bright colors, gorgeous high, moisture and heat. Disadvantages: No light, no water, no alkali, raw fold, easy to absorb the body, not strong enough, faded rapidly. Q: 14 What are the advantages of chemical fiber and disadvantages? A: Chemical fiber is divided into fiber for the fiber element, polyester, cotton, acrylic, acrylic, PVA, C-fiber, etc. Recycled fiber advantages: moisture, breathable, soft, comfortable, have the effect of silk, bright color, chromatography complete and better luster. Disadvantages: easy to wrinkle, not crisp, easy to shrink. Polyester for the improved version, adding natural fibers, recycled fibers, fiber blends. Polyester advantages: anti-wrinkle, strength, wear washable quick-drying, no worms, no rotten, easy storage. Polyester Disadvantages: poor moisture absorption, ventilation is poor, uncomfortable to wear, easy cleaning, easy to fluff grains. Nylon Advantages: good flexibility, and vigorous, like wool, high strength, warmth, light. Nylon Disadvantages: poor moisture absorption, poor comfort, improved after blending. Acrylic Polyacrylonitrile Fiber Advantages: good flexibility, soft to the touch, better shape retention. Acrylic Disadvantages: does not absorb moisture, not heat. PVA Vinylon Advantages: good strength, moisture, not afraid of mold bore, firm texture, durable. Dimensional fiber Disadvantages: not heat-resistant, easy to shrink, wrinkle easily. Spandex Spandex Fiber Advantages: Flexible, comfortable, acid, alkali, abrasion. Spandex Disadvantages: low strength, does not absorb moisture, not heat. Polypropylene Polypropylene Fiber advantages: high strength, good elasticity, wear-resistant, crisp appearance, size and stability. PP Disadvantages: does not absorb moisture, not heat. Q: 15 What are the advantages and disadvantages of knitting? A: The advantages of knitted underwear: scalable, flexible, moisture absorption, air permeability. Knitted outerwear advantages: wear fastness, bright color, crisp crease, shrinkage is small, quick-drying washable. Knitted coat Disadvantages: poor moisture absorption, poor ventilation. Q: 16 fur and leather What advantages and disadvantages? A: Advantages: Grace appearance, dressed in elegant, noble and beautiful, comfortable and warm. Artificial fur advantages: warm, soft, elastic, fluffy texture, light, wearable, anti-bacterial pest control, easy preservation, can be washed. Disadvantages: Any anti-poor, lint-free rate. Artificial fur Advantages: soft, beautiful and durable, warm, moisture permeability, with a bore, free iron, Wen set size.

Forgotten Heroes, The U.S. Life-Saving Service on the Great Lakes – From 1874 until 1915 when it became the U.S. Coast Guard, the men of this remarkable organization displayed incredible courage and bravery in rescuing over 55, 000 people from potential death on the Great Lakes. Despite personal danger or difficulty, the Life-Savers invariably accomplished the rescue. This is their story of courage in the face on nearly insurmountable odds. Their unofficial motto was, “Regulations say we have to go out, they say nothing about coming back.” It was a motto they lived and in some cases, died by. I am a founding board member and past president of the U.S. Life-Saving Heritage Association dedicated to saving and telling the story of this most remarkable organization. Frederick Stonehouse has authored over thirty books on maritime history. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and are regional best sellers. Wreck Ashore, the U.S. Life-Saving Service on the Great Lakes is the predominant work on the subject. He has also been an “on-air” expert for National Geographic, History Channel and Fox Family. He has been honored with the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History award for historic interpretation and as the Marine Historian of the Year by the Detroit Marine Historical Society. Most recently he was given the 2014 “Distinguished Alumni Award” by Northern Michigan University. Fred teaches Great Lakes maritime history at Northern Michigan University and is an active consultant for numerous Great Lakes oriented projects and programs.

Let’s try again: what happened to the stock market yesterday? We still don’t know, but it appears that something concrete happened against the background of a market that was already tripwire nervous over Greece and the euro and China and whatnot. Considering that the giant decline happened on pretty much *no* volume, I think other factors are at work. I believe the core problem here was a real order imbalance with lots of volume (which took us down the original 350), then nyse halts these stocks, the market orders get rereouted (regnms and all) to ECN’s where there is much less liquidity, and what liquidity is normally there is mostly provided by the nefarious HF strats who were rightly scaling back risk. So the 10K shares that might have been a downtick on nyse blows throught the BATS book completely. In English, this means that when trading started to get too hot and heavy, the New York Stock Exchange stepped in to slow things down. In the old days, this would have worked, but not anymore. Most trading of NYSE stocks doesn’t actually happen on the NYSE anymore, it happens on electronic communication networks (ECNs) like BATS in Kansas City, which is the third-largest stock exchange in the world. So what the algo guy is saying is that when the NYSE tried to slow things down, the computers responsible for program trading just switched their orders over to ECNs. Unfortunately, ECNs are largely used by high-frequency trading shops, and the HFT guys closed up when the market went kablooey. So the ECNs had no buyers, and even a small sell order could blow the doors off a stock price. Which it did. I’m very much in favor of this. Maybe someday we’ll understand all this stuff well enough to control it, but right now we don’t seem to. Our financial system really needs a little bit of sand in the gears to bring it back down to human speeds. This would be a good way to do it, and would probably have other benefits too (quite aside from the money it raises). Count me as a fan.

Before you hit the trails, jump on this cardio machine to take your fitness up, up, up. With sunny spring days in full bloom, it’s prime time to take your cardio to the great outdoors. One way to do so is with a hike. Approximately 34 million Americans go for a hike annually, according to the American Hiking Society. You might already be in great cardio shape if you run or walk all the time. But if you don’t work out on an incline or vertical trainer very often, your fitness might not cut it when it comes time to climb. “When you hike or climb, you’re working against gravity. It challenges your metabolic pathways differently,” says Aaptiv trainer Candice Cunningham. “It adds more of a strength approach to training. With running you are working with forward propulsion to help move you forward. With climbing, you aren’t.” Don’t lose hope, though. You can actually use the stair climber to train for a hike. Here’s how to use the stair climber to train for a hike and strengthen your muscles, so that you’ll be ready to handle even the toughest of ascents. Cunningham recommends alternating between long, steady-paced climbs and workouts where you work at a higher pace. The first will up your endurance. The second will help prep your body for the uneven terrain you’ll cover outdoors. Working out with proper form will help you breathe deeply and generate the most force from your lower body to get you up the stairs (and eventually the trail). “Think about standing with a neutral spine always,” says Cunningham. “Hunching over only inhibits your ability to use your lower body properly by putting pressure on your lower back.” Also, focus on pushing off from your heel with each step to help you power up the incline. Resist the urge to lean on the handrails! “You should try to do more of your workouts without holding, to mimic actual hiking,” says Cunningham. She suggests pumping your arms forward and back as you will when you’re actually climbing an outdoor ascent. If you’re getting ready for a one-day hike (or longer), you’ll likely be carrying a backpack with snacks and other gear. You don’t necessarily have to bring that to the gym. However, Cunningham does suggest slipping on a weighted vest to help you get used to climbing with the extra pounds on your back. Don’t start out with the added weight, though. Make sure that you can stair climb comfortably without it before you bump up the challenge. Hiking on a decline may seem like a piece of cake compared to the climb up. However, it’s actually way harder on your quads. To help get yours ready to handle the downhill terrain, add some intervals of walking down a flight of stairs or lunging down a hill to your routine, after you finish with the machine. Pay attention to your foot placement, says Cunningham. You should touch the ground midfoot—not with your heel—when going down. Ideally, you can use the stair climber to train for a hike in addition to actually finding some nearby trails to practice on. But, if you’re in a training pinch, the stair climber can get you in shape to take to the trails. Introducing New and Improved Programs In-App Now! Hop in the app to check them out!

2019 Lexus LS F V8 Review, Release Date, and Price – The new LS surfaced this year, of course, if any Lexus ever endured a possibility to gain back some of that wonderful initial gen LS beauty, this is the one. And you know what, Japanese are heading whole power this time around as gossip group that 2019 Lexus LS F V8 is nearing. Never ever thoughts that Japanese has in no way presented anything to correctly retaliate in the course of LS’s background, as they have got in no way been bolder compared to what they are currently. Plus, very same gossip is warmed by recognizing of unusual analyze mules showing LS models with mutilated grilles and moderate decklid spoilers. Where there is an Instagram submit displaying a web page from Japanese newspaper showing what could just be complete-blooded, F handled LS. Toyota luxury department is luxurious these days with its design outbursts. Quite lavish. Forcing complete-dimensions luxury sedan into sporty territory generally signifies some tidy but modest design details. They range from really mild versions, as in the event that of A8 Plus, to pretty showy types just in case of seriously chromed S65. But new LS is berserk even with no F notice. Spindle grille is stressful, lighting formed front lights are insane, when outdoors handsomeness of its form is only equalled by Maserati. If you believed F-Sport is overly upset, be sure that Instagram choose of claimed F model. Grille is blacked out and meshed as very same as in the event that of F-Sport, front lights, aspect of wall mirrors and B-pillars are darken also, but aspect intakes appearance so wrathful in cases like this, that they can could effortlessly scare Aventador (and SV one, that is). We have black coloured and very long aspect air vents, massive alloys, and entrance lip able of really negatively affecting people on the streets, which that sporty package does not. Rear and interior stay a full puzzle for the present time. What could power the very first F variation of LS? V8 normally. But which one? For the first time in its record newest LS does not provide V8, regardless of all of those years again it absolutely was solely driven by seven cylinders and absolutely nothing more. So, an LS F could possibly obtain 5.-liter by natural means aspirated V8 from GS F and RC F models or it might think of something completely new. Guess on the second one. Pointed out pre-existing V8 provides 467 hp, which is hardly adequate for generally all around 600 hp competition. That is why Lexus is making an effort on new twin-turbo V8, probably with 4.-liter displacement, and presumably enhancing close to 600 hp body. It needs to be coupled with an exact same 10-speed automatic in existing use. So, intensely designed LS equipped of hitting 60 miles per hour in about three something secs? Beautiful believed without a doubt. 2019 Lexus LS F V8 could first appearance after that year, but that will be our speculate. Anyways, there is no will need of postponing it a lot of, although Instagram article even states that it is going to take place before, even this year in the course of Tokyo Motor Show. It may range between $115k (S8 and XJR territory) up to $150k (AMG S63, Panamera Turbo, and M760i location) and conclude with $250k (AMG S65 silly price chucked). Alright, the very last numeral is out of the concern as even Panamera Turbo S does not go there. Supplying the proven fact that this is Lexus’s very first time in these oceans it could possibly most likely resolve among described initial two rates racks, it appears to be the type of appropriate.

I’ve been a Strange Chemistry fan from the beginning. Its editor, Amanda Rutter, was one of the first friends I made when I discovered the blogosphere, at the time she was still blogging at Floor to Ceiling Books, and she helped me out a lot when I decided to start blogging myself. So to see her move into publishing herself was exciting and witnessing Strange Chemistry publish some of the most innovative and wonderful books in the field of YA in the past two years has been a pleasure. When this morning the news broke that both Strange Chemistry and Angry Robot’s crime imprint Exhibit A Books were the cease operations immediately, followed some time later by the news that Osprey is looking to sell Angry Robot, I was shocked, to say the least. My first thoughts were for the wonderful authors published by both these imprints, some of whom I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in person, and for Amanda, Caroline, Lee, Mike and Marc, who do such excellent work bringing us these books. My second thoughts were that now I’d not find out how the stories I’d been waiting for to continue would end. Well at least not in the near-future. Of course there are all sorts of ramifications to this news, not in the least what will happen to those titles that were contracted but now won’t be published and for those authors who were in the midst of a series. And as you’d expect reactions have already been starting to appear online. I’ve tried to collect them below and I’ll keep them updated for the next few days. Meanwhile I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that everyone impacted by these closures will quickly and squarely land on their feet and find new publishing homes. There is no reason why an author with a series unfinished cannot self publish the rest of the series. She/he already has her audience and followers. But at the moment it’s unclear whether rights are reverting etc. So that’s what might cause a problem. In addition, not every author has the time or the energy for the hard work that goes into promotion and publicity. But you’re right that the option is always there fortunately. By rights, the rights should revert back ASAP (Hey I made a pun). Yeah … self pubbing is the only option methinks. SC and EA wouldn’t be part of the Angry Robot package as they don’t exist anymore. For unpublished titles the rights would indeed revert back, but I’ve seen one of the SC authors say that AR will still be selling the books already out there (and presumably in storage) until they’ve all sold out before letting the books go out of print. So might be more difficult in those cases, especially where they concern unfinished series?

The map shows 58 lakes, bayous and other waterways where contaminated fish have been caught, the bottom is too polluted for safe swimming, or both. Those areas also are clickable, but are approximations — adjacent areas of dark and light blue aren't boundaries, Department of Environmental Quality scientist Al Hindrichs said in an email Friday. For instance, the state says nobody should eat any fish from Capitol Lake in Baton Rouge, while in the Upper Calcasieu Estuary, only crab fat is on the do-not-eat list. For 83 miles along the Tensas River, the advisory states only, "Long-term fish consumption may cause health risk." Most people are advised against eating more than a total of four 8-ounce servings a month of fish caught in state waters, except for king mackerel. At Capitol Lake, it's the manmade chemicals called PCBs . +2 Those are actually exceptions of a sort: nine advisories are for organic compounds of one type or another, while the other 49, including the Gulf waters, are for mercury, Hindrichs said. The Gulf advisory is most likely because the fish are "highly predatory," not because there's more mercury in the ocean, Hindrichs said in an email. Two others — one for Devil's Swamp, Devil's Swamp Lake and Bayou Baton Rouge, and one for Bayou d'Inde and parts of the Calcasieu Ship Channel — advise against both eating fish and swimming or touching sediments. "Do not eat fish or crawfish from this area," reads the advisory for Devil's Swamp and related areas. Aerial of the State Capitol, Capitol Park and Pentagon Barracks in Baton Rouge on Sept. 1, 2015.

The quiet determination of Professor Ian Anderson, the first Indigenous medical graduate of the University of Melbourne, is a driving force for the transformation of the Indigenous health landscape across Australia. A Tasmanian who is proud of his Palawa heritage, he is related to Pyemairrenner peoples with specific connections to the Trawlwoolway, Plairmairrenner and related clans. Most consistently recognised for his academic ability to span medical and socio-cultural disciplines, Ian Anderson has written widely on issues related to Aboriginal health, identity and culture, expanding practical medical expertise into the sociology of health and illness and related policy analysis and theory development in the social sciences. A 1989 MBBS graduate, he also holds a PhD in sociology and anthropology. He is a Fellow of the Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine. An underpinning strength is his experience in a range of contexts as an Aboriginal health worker, health educator, general practitioner, and policy maker. He has a long association with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service and has served on its Board of Management and as its Deputy Chair. Ian Anderson has an outstanding record of achievement in research, teaching and knowledge transfer. He developed and held the position of Director at Onemda VicHealth Koori Health Unit. Under his guidance, the Onemda team created successful teaching and research programs using a community development framework and providing a comprehensive platform for the exchange of knowledge. He has held more than 30 high level grants for research and workforce development and provided leadership through the various iterations of the Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal Health (now the Lowitja Institute) for over 14 years. Widely sought for his teaching, Ian Anderson has contributed to and taught into virtually every major Indigenous endeavour in this University and more widely. He is a senior advisor and holds, or has held, appointments to over 90 boards, governance, steering and academic committees, the National Health and Medical Research Council and its committees, and a range of government and national policy-related committees (including chair since 2008 of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Council). In a series of senior roles in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Ian Anderson has promoted high-quality research through increased Indigenous leadership and partnerships with key groups and communities in the Indigenous health sector, government agencies and research institutions. His leadership of the development of an Indigenous health medical workforce development program, Leaders in Medical Education (LIME), in collaboration with the medical deans of Australia and New Zealand, has produced strategies improving the quality and efficacy of Indigenous health content in medical education. The LIME network is a collaborative program building multi-disciplinary links to strengthen professional development, and importantly, recognise and support the primacy of Indigenous leadership and knowledge. Again, through Onemda, Ian Anderson’s influence in strengthening Indigenous content in public health education has been of major importance in the development of a national network of Indigenous educators in public health. Standing alongside these achievements are over 145 published journal articles, book chapters, encyclopaedia entries, editorials, discussion and contract papers and monographs. A mark of his intellectual generosity and commitment to his vision are the 140 occasions he has presented as invited speaker or guest lecturer. Ian Anderson has made a profound impact through giving unstintingly of his intellect and passion to improving Indigenous health. With patience and perception he has worked resolutely, not only to change Indigenous health outcomes, but also to develop inclusive pathways to health. In his position as Director of Murrup Barak, the Melbourne Institute for Indigenous Development he led the development of the University’s Reconciliation Action Plan and a reconfiguration of the University’s Indigenous strategy focussing on embedding an organisational agenda in which Indigenous outcomes are ‘everyone’s business’. His recent appointment as Assistant Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous Higher Education Policy, will enable Ian Anderson to extend his experience in the reform of health policy and institutions to a wider range of Indigenous programs and build on the University's desire to support Indigenous leadership and participation across all its activities.

Biomolecule-based hydrogels have potential use in a wide range of applications such as controlled drug release, tissue engineering, and biofabrication. Herein, driven by specific interactions between ds-DNA (double-stranded DNA) and Zn2+ based metal-complexes, we report that the use of DNA as cross-linkers can enhance interactions between self-assembling Zn2+ complexes containing terpyridine and sugar groups in the generation of bioinspired hydrogels from solutions or suspensions. The gelation process is fast and straightforward without tedious steps and happens at room temperature. Such a hydrogelation process of different Zn2+ complexes endows the visualized and selective DNA analogue discrimination. Several experiments suggest that the strong intercalation binding of Zn2+ complexes with ds-DNA results in the unzipping of ds-DNA into ss-DNA (single-stranded DNA), which further behave as linkers to enhance the intermolecular interactions of self-assembling Zn2+ complex molecules via coordination interactions. This work demonstrates an efficient and universal strategy to prepare hydrogels based on biomolecular recognition. Moreover, the DNA responsive behaviors of Zn2+ complexes are further compared with that of solutions and cells.

Cobb Electric Membership Corp. violated a 2008 settlement with unhappy members who accused some co-op leaders of enriching themselves at members’ expense, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled today. Dissident members hoped to unseat board members in a scheduled 2009 election that was never held after the EMC’s leadership voted in secret to allow proxy voting by mail. The high court ruled the board may not unilaterally change the method by which its members are chosen.

I've gone as low as $10 per picture on things that are fairly easy to fix in the past.

Sunday is meant to be a day of rest and leisure. But it was this Sunday when the Mozilla Nashik team went to an Orphanage in Trimbakeshwar to do some thing good!! This kids belonged to an orphanage, which was located in Trimbakeshwar around 30km from Nashik city, this kids had never used a computer before. So we started by telling the kids to introduce themselves in English, so to help them we used a chart paper and wrote “MY NAME IS _____ AND I AM IN STANDARD _____” and told the kids to read it. Hence, we asked the kids what they aspire to become in the future and got interesting answers from them!! some of them wanted to become police man, engineers, doctor, teacher and some of them also wanted to join the military!! Now it was time to show them a small SAND ART MOVIE ON APJ ABDUL KALAM 🙂 our former president, this video motivated the kids to study hard and how we can achieve our goals!! In future we are planing to have a full day computer session for this kids were they will learn to operate the computer and also teach them how to access the internet, Lo-Fi activities, and also webmaker tools (Hands on). Great Job guys!!! I love the way the kid is humbly holding his hands together and eagerly learning and love being taught. Keep rocking and teaching!

Well being, wellness, it’s the sense of health itself that adds value to what we call life. Our diet gets a particular boost in terms of our relationship with the above. Considering that the Mediterranean diet is the most proven form of diet approved for physical and mental health, the important role of olive oil as a healthy choice in our daily lives, is plain obvious. The secret of the tree of life as we call the olive tree, is that it can make our lives better. Our ancestors used it successfully and we as their heirs are here to tell you the authentic story. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the most important part of the Greek gastronomy, which occupies a prominent place in our culture. A healthy choice. Olive oil uses are manifold, but the basic and most appropriate use is in its raw form. It is often seen in salads and soups that we find in Greek gastronomy. It is the healthiest fat on the planet. It is rich in monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants that contribute to heart health. The people who eat olive oil have a much lower risk for heart attacks and strokes, according to scientific studies. Of course, in the Greek gastronomy olive oil exists in other forms. If you want to explore the tastes of Greek cuisine, sign up to our Paradosie Newsletter and keep an eye for future posts on Greek cooking.

HTML5 is one of the fastest evolving web technologies we know, so much so that many web browsers are still trying to catch up to the full feature list of HTML5. We are still experiencing the very early stages of web development, and the capabilities of scripting languages and the browsers themselves. Anyone who has ever worked with a scripting and/or programming language will know the importance of a good editor. Text editors are very much about usability and flexibility. We don’t want to be writing code in a text editor that does not offer us the freedom to customize and optimize our code in seamless manner. We also don’t want to be working with editors that don’t fully support the syntax of the language we are using, in this case HTML5. With the introduction of HTML5, developers have invested a lot of time putting together and crafting the kind of text editors (for the web) that support native HTML5 language support. We will be taking a look at both code editors, and WYSIWYG type of text editors that we can implement in our websites and projects and use to directly script with HTML5 code from within these text editors. Makes you wonder if WordPress is ever going to advance their content editor to fully support programming languages, a definitive thought for the future. It’s all about rich text editing these days, and the wysihtml5 text editor uses the latest HTML5 features to help developers and webmasters to generate valid HTML5 code output. The wysihtml5 editor is a lightweight solution for generating semantic and valid HTML5 markup; even in cases when content (code) is being copied from external sources. Does not require jQuery to work. Security features ensures that your site is safe and secure, and protected from common attacks like XSS; cross site scripting. Aloha Editor is a stand alone library with a functional and stateless API that provides you with essential editing capabilities not available in browsers. The lightweight file-size makes Aloha Editor appealing to those are dealing with projects and websites that receive thousands of requests on frequent basis, and you are in full control of how the editor acts in certain situations, there’s an attached API that enables to customize the functionality. A built-in preview module lets you see what your code looks like in real-time, saving you a ton of time having to switch back and forth between the browser and the editor; HTMLPad brings the browser to the editor. And on top of all that, all of your code is automatically checked against standard quality, giving you a chance to relax about being compliant with the latest standards for JS, CSS and HTML. TinyMCE is a well-known text editor amongst the webmaster and developer communities, and Textbox is a branch of TinyMCE; a powerful text editor for the responsive web, especially mobile devices. Features like seamless inline editing, and in-built spell checking make this particular text editor very appealing to those who are dealing with content heavy sites and need a solution for making editing fun again. It also supports Markdown, and will automatically strip your HTML5 code of any impurities. Works with the most prestigious frameworks and content management platforms on the web: Angular, Drupal, Microsoft, IBM and so many others. Redactor II is the number one editor choice for thousands of developers, it must be the framework approach that Redactor Editor takes — offering more than 200 callbacks and API Methods to support developers and their requirements for a sleek and professional code editor. The Redactor documentation is one of a kind, fully explaining the capabilities and possibilities of the editor, and how more can be achieved without losing resources and time. Squire is yet another rich text editor with HTML5 capabilities. It works across all your favorite browsers, yet remains its lightweight features and flexibility. Squire is also popular amongst its users for offering a text editor that supports the crafting of large variety of documents like content, email, snippets, even research papers if necessary. Squire looks to provide a lot of editing capacity without the compromise of performance. Mercury Editor has been built to help teams, developers and webmasters to have access to an editor that enables for a harmonious content editing experience. The only thing that might scare you away from using Mercury in your next project is the fact that this text editor is based on the Ruby on Rails engine, meaning that only Ruby developers can enjoy access to this wonderful editor.

Rainwater-Powered, Direction-Giving Manhole of the Future? Not all industrial design is built of good, usable concepts. Some are merely explorations of what could be done, not necessarily what should be done. Case in point is the Eco Sign, designed by Cheolyeon Jo and Youngsun Lee. On the surface, it’s actually a pretty ingenious concept: a ubiquitous urban object turned into a useful directional sign. Simply apply pressure to one side or the other, and it tells you how to get to the nearest subway or bus station and how far you’ll have to walk to reach them. The device is powered by rainwater, so it doesn’t use any of the city’s electricity. But then you realize that the urban object in question is a manhole cover. In most cities, manholes are located in the middle of busy streets, making it extremely dangerous to stand over one looking down for any length of time. Also, the design in question doesn’t include a battery for storing the rainwater-generated electricity, making it seemingly only functional when it’s actually raining. And, of course, there’s the issue of the abuse a device like this would take, being in the middle of the street and run over countless times every day by extremely heavy vehicles. To manufacture a solid, unbreakable manhole cover with the capability to display information to the brave pedestrians who dare to dwell atop it for several seconds at a time, the city would be out huge amounts of cash. Not to mention the massive amount the city would spend settling lawsuits from hapless people who were run over while trying to find a bus stop. However, we think that turning an ugly part of the city into something useful is a very good thing. Maybe not manhole covers specifically, but how about a pressure-activated plate mounted into the sidewalk at key pedestrian corners that would do the same job? Photovoltaic cells could provide the required energy, or kinetic energy from passing walkers could even be used to power the displays. Besides being helpful, excess generated energy could be put right back into the city’s power supply. Win-win.

In addition to diving with whale sharks we took a day off so that Randy, Robbie and I could tour the local rain forest. We were looking for monkeys, but found much more. Edmond, our guide, placed the outboard in gear, and we headed into the heart of the Belizean tropical rain forest. If we got lucky we’d find monkeys along the rivers. Unfortunately we were not that lucky, but there was plenty of other wild life to see. Every couple of minutes Edmond slowed the boat to show us another jungle species. Eventually our guide pulled over to the rivers edge and tied the boat up. He told us to wait, as he would return shortly. Almost and hour later Edmond returned with good news. He had found a family of monkeys, but it would be a half hour slog through the forest to see them. We jumped off the boat into knee high water, and made our way to the trail covered in calf high water. I didn’t have the guts to ask about snakes, and I had already seen the local crocodiles as we waded into the jungle. I was just ahead of my youngest son Robbie when he yells at me to stop. Robbie being the caring, loving son that’s always concerned about his father’s well being replied. “I’m not touching that thing,” as he backed away from me. Eventually I was able to pick out a couple of black spots high in the trees. We made it back to the boat without further incidents, if you exclude a bazillion mosquito bites. Don’t they have malaria down here? On the way back to the dock we past by some monkeys in the trees right next to the river. We didn’t even have to leave the boat to see them.
