Are you hacker-proof?
Web Application & Network Security
Shield your Local, Intranet and Web Infrastructure
Detect Web Vulnerabilities
With the rapid progress in browser technology, web applications and web services have become a core component of many business processes, and therefore a lucrative target for attackers.
Secure your Network Perimeter
The tool that provides a comprehensive perimeter network security scan that integrates seamlessly with your web application security testing, all from an easy to use simple cloud-based service.
Get Detailed Reporting
A wide variety of reports help developers and business owners alike to quickly identify a web application's threat surface, detect what needs to be fixed, and ensure conformance with several compliance standards.
[ Key Features ]
Firewalls and Networks Are Worthless Against Web Application Hacking
Cyber criminals are focusing their efforts on exploiting weaknesses in web applications such as eCommerce platforms, blogs, login pages and other dynamic content. Insecure web applications and web services not only provide attackers access to backend databases but also allow them to perform illegal activities using compromised sites.
Authentication Web Application Testing
Testing authenticated areas of your websites and web applications is absolutely crucial to ensure full testing coverage. The Login Sequence Recorder tool supports a large number of authentication mechanisms including:
- Multi-step/Custom Authentication Schemes
- Single Sign-On Authentication
- CAPTCHAs
- Multi-factor Authentication
SQL Injection and Cross-site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability Testing
The Vulnerability Scanner rigorously tests for hundreds of web application vulnerabilities including SQL Injection and Cross-site Scripting. SQL Injection is one of the oldest and most prevalent of software bugs. It allows attackers to modify SQL queries in order to gain access to data in the database. Cross-Site scripting attacks allow attackers to execute malicious scripts inside your visitors' browser; possibly leading to impersonation of that user.
The DeepScan tool has the ability to crawl complex client-side Single Page Applications (SPAs), guaranteeing the highest vulnerability detection rate even in client-side vulnerabilities such as DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities.

What is your senior session state of mind? For Breanna it was golden sunshine. It was light and airy and natural. It was free-spirited and laid-back with a blend of boho and surfer vibes. It was crashing waves against a beach that feels like home to this high school senior who is preparing to leave for college in the fall.
Working with Breanna for her senior portrait session at the Historic Cocoa Beach Pier in beautiful Cocoa Beach, Florida was a photographer's dream. Breanna is a senior at Titusville High School and is preparing to kick off her college life as a freshman at The University of Central Florida. This bright, athletic, Florida girl will be majoring in Television Broadcasting and is working hard to fulfill her dream to become a television news anchor. She names her family as her biggest supporters and inspiration and credits them as the reason for all of the successes in her life.
Breanna is one of those young adults who leaves a lasting impression on you. She is an amazing balance of beauty and brains. Her bubbly, laid-back personality made her a joy to be around and after spending time shooting with her there is no doubt in my mind that she is going to do amazing things in this new chapter of her life.
Having grown up in Florida, the iconic Cocoa Beach scene was the perfect spot for this surfer girl to be captured in the sunshine, sand and surf. Breanna was photographed on the beach at just two months old, and now returning to take her senior portraits here just seemed like a natural fit. The beach is her go-to spot when she needs to relax or have fun, and the outgoing spirit she embodies shines through the images from our session together.
Congratulations to Breanna and best wishes for an amazing college experience! I am SURE we will see you on TV someday soon!
Your friend on the other side of the camera,

Canada is open to future acquisitions by Chinese energy companies, its trade minister said, in a clear signal Ottawa wants deeper ties with Beijing despite controversy over CNOOC Ltd.'s recent acquisition of Canada's Nexen Inc.
Canadian trade minister Ed Fast said Tuesday during a visit to Beijing that Canada was one of the world's most open investment destinations, and that it was committed to diversifying resource exports away from heavy reliance on the U.S.
"My message was clear today: We're open for business," Mr. Fast said in an interview.
Asked repeatedly whether Chinese companies would be welcomed in the future to buy Canadian companies outright as seen in the Nexen acquisition, Mr. Fast reiterated that Canada was welcoming to Chinese energy and other investments.
The visit by Mr. Fast follows the recently completed $15.1 billion acquisition of oil-sands operator Nexen by Chinese state-backed oil-and-gas giant CNOOC. The deal was the largest-ever corporate acquisition overseas by a Chinese company, but faced scrutiny in Ottawa from lawmakers.
In approving the deal in December, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper effectively slammed the door on further acquisitions in Canadian oil sands by state-controlled companies, saying similar future deals wouldn't be in the country's overall interests. Mr. Harper described the deal's approval at the time as the "end of a trend," and not the beginning of one.
Mr. Fast said on Tuesday that Chinese investment and acquisitions were still warmly welcomed elsewhere in the energy patch despite the strong comments by Mr. Harper.
"That's a message I've carried to the Chinese leadership here: that Canada continues to welcome Chinese investment, not only in the energy field, but broadly across the Canadian economy," he said.
He added, "The clarifications that were made with respect to the oil sands were pretty clear, and with respect to other investments in the energy sector outside the oil sands, it is still open...and a welcoming environment for them."
Words of support by Mr. Fast come as Chinese state-backed energy companies increasingly view Canada as a natural destination from which to shore up energy resources to fuel its expanding economy. China in the short term is in need of everything from liquefied natural gas to uranium, and Canadian companies are racing to boost export infrastructure in order to meet booming Asian demand.
Energy ties between Canada and China have come increasingly into the spotlight in recent months. That is particularly so as the Obama administration deliberates whether to approve the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would carry heavy crude from Canada's Alberta province to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.
U.S. President Barack Obama rejected a version of the pipeline in early 2012 on environmental grounds, and a decision by the administration on a revised proposal is expected this summer.
Mr. Fast said Canada would press ahead with diversifying exports away from the U.S. regardless of the Obama administration's eventual decision on the pipeline, but said Keystone's approval would be important to shoring up North American energy security.
"We believe that there is a choice that the United States has to make," Mr. Fast said. "Do they want to continue to purchase oil from countries like Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Venezuela that don't share the same values as the United States, or does the United States want to have its most trusted trading partner as its partner in energy security?

I want to die with my forehead on the ground, The sunnah in my heart, Allah on my mind, Qur'an on my tonge, & Tears in my eyes." When I stand to perform my prayer, placing the Ka'bah between my brows, the bridge over Hell beneath my feet,Paradise to my right and Hell to my left,and the Angel of Death behind me,thinking all the while that this is my final prayer. Then I stand between Hope & Fear.

I Have Some school work left to do that's Due Monday at 11:55 pm. Man I Cant wait for this school year to be over. So We can be On To The Next one. So I Found this website like some time last year its a language website actually i think my homeroom teach had it up in her Documents and i checked it out and signed up i'm taking french Spanish and Japanese[Hells Yes], So That way when ever i go to Tokyo Japan ill Be talking their Language.=). I Haven't had alot of motivation lately IDK Why, summers coming soon i still haven't found a Job and i need motivation to motivate me to work out more[lol] ive been slacking lately i mean last semester i Put the pro in procrastination this semester i really wasn't procrastinating now i see myself going back and thats something i do not want to do. My life is kind of boring and ok, i mean like i dont go out as i used to i used to go out all the time like really but now i'm just like blah theres nowhere to go, to the mall if i go to the mall all ima do is window shop[because ah duhr im broke] ahaha i have no JOB So no money i get money here and there but thats from my mom mostly and i want to be getting my own money. As i was saying theres nothing really to do now days theres school life religon and stuff, sometimes i wish a miracle would come that would make me really happy.=) My mom always says i dont have friends well i do just not alot i like just a few friends that i can count on my fingers i like my circle small and to my comfort level. I Used to have best friend but that's over, thats why i mostly keep to myself, and people always ask me why u so quiet maybe that's because i want to be or maybe i don't have nothing to say to you, i'm cool with some people they aren't my friends ill say associates, some people i known for a long time don't even act like they know me any more its a darn shame. But yeah that's life and i'm living it day by day, ive been living for 15 years 16 September 2.

Anis Mojani.=)
I Was On www.Polyvore.com and There was this poem someone had up By Anis Mojgani, and i read it and instantly Fell in love with it. And Then i you tubed him and listened to most of his poems i mean why he is Like Epic Like really Good. His poems i cant even think of a word. But here is the one i read and listened to yesterday. Youtube Video-->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qDtHdloK44 "Shake the Dust" by Anis Mojgani This is for the fat girls. This is for the little brothers. This is for the school-yard wimps, this is for the childhood bullies who tormented them. This is for the former prom queen, this is for the milk-crate ball players. This is for the nighttime cereal eaters and for the retired, elderly Wal-Mart store front door greeters. Shake the dust. This is for the benches and the people sitting upon them, for the bus drivers driving a million broken hymns, for the men who have to hold down three jobs simply to hold up their children, for the nighttime schoolers and the midnight bike riders who are trying to fly. Shake the dust. This is for the two-year-olds who cannot be understood because they speak half-English and half-god. Shake the dust. For the girls with the brothers who are going crazy, for those gym class wall flowers and the twelve-year-olds afraid of taking public showers, for the kid who's always late to class because he forgets the combination to his lockers, for the girl who loves somebody else. Shake the dust. This is for the hard men, the hard men who want to love but know that is won't come. For the ones who are forgotten, the ones the amendments do not stand up for. For the ones who are told to speak only when you are spoken to and then are never spoken to. Speak every time you stand so you do not forget yourself. Do not let a moment go by that doesn't remind you that your heart beats 900 times a day and that there are enough gallons of blood to make you an ocean. Do not settle for letting these waves settle and the dust to collect in your veins. This is for the celibate pedophile who keeps on struggling, for the poetry teachers and for the people who go on vacations alone. For the sweat that drips off of Mick Jaggers' singing lips and for the shaking skirt on Tina Turner's shaking hips, for the heavens and for the hells through which Tina has lived. This is for the tired and for the dreamers and for those families who'll never be like the Cleavers with perfectly made dinners and sons like Wally and the Beaver. This is for the biggots, this is for the sexists, this is for the killers. This is for the big house, pen-sentenced cats becoming redeemers and for the springtime that always shows up after the winters. This? This is for you. Make sure that by the time fisherman returns you are gone. Because just like the days, I burn both ends and every time I write, every time I open my eyes I am cutting out a part of myself to give to you. So shake the dust and take me with you when you do for none of this has never been for me. All that pushes and pulls, pushes and pulls for you. So grab this world by its clothespins and shake it out again and again and jump on top and take it for a spin and when you hop off shake it again for this is yours. Make my words worth it, make this not just another poem that I write, not just another poem like just another night that sits heavy above us all. Walk into it, breathe it in, let is crash through the halls of your arms at the millions of years of millions of poets coursing like blood pumping and pushing making you live, shaking the dust. So when the world knocks at your front door, clutch the knob and open on up, running forward into its widespread greeting arms with your hands before you, fingertips trembling though they may be.

Back in February, Hugo and Mauricio from Fuji X Passion joined me for a day in Lisbon with the aim making a film about street photography, while exploring the city from sunrise to sunset.
We wanted the film to be about the joy of street photography with this wonderful city as a back drop, and as we move from location to location I try to give an insight into each image and my process when shooting light and fast street scenes as they unfold before my eyes.
We also wanted the film to show what an amazing place Lisbon is with its atmospheric neighbourhoods, winding streets, steeps hills and views across the river, and so we filmed aerial footage with a drone, shot time-lapses as well as handheld video film all over the city, starting with sunrise looking out across the rooftops towards the river, and finishing with a sunset, again next to thethe river, but this time next to the beautiful modern architecture of MAAT.
Lisbon. Light on the City is both an informative look at street photography and a stunning visual journey around one of Europe's most beautiful cities.
You can find out more about the film and purchase it on Fuji X Passion's website, and to whet your appetite I've cut together a short teaser trailer using just the drone footage I shot on that day. There's also a full trailer featuring the introduction of the film,

For Great Wall walkers, Badaling is the beginning. Then Mutianyu and Jinshanling. After that, the wilds of Jiankou, and you're probably feeling pretty darn intrepid. Congratulations, you've conquered 0.001% of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. Ready to progress? This is the way I plan a Great Wall hike. You will need: Google Earth. A phone with internet and GPS. Rudimentary Chinese. A taxi or driver (or car). A friend. The Great Wall Forum. Clothing that covers your arms and legs. Water. Luck.
First thing to do is to figure out your hike (this post is presuming it's a day hike). Open Google Earth, and find the Great Wall. The GPS coordinates of many of the major (and minor) sections can be had here at the Great Wall Forum, listed in English according to province and section. Grab a set of coordinates as your starting point, and then just fly, fly, fly. Hover over the Wall until you find a bit that looks good. I like to drop pins on sections that seem geologically dramatic and are geographically relevant to where I am, or where I can get to (like a train station or small city, something likely to have a taxi company).
Pins are just the beginning. There are all sorts of icons you can throw down, but best of all is the path tool, which you can drag anywhere you like. This lets you trace the exact path of the Great Wall and measure distance accurately, which is really important. If you're going fully wild and uncharted, keep your day hike under 7km. And, of course, never hike alone. Strange as it might seem to non-Chinese, the Great Wall is largely uncharted territory to the general public and its location beyond a handful of tourist sections is only known by people living nearby, usually farmers.
So, taking a real, actual example of a hike I did in October 2015, the next step is the brilliant elevation profile feature. First I used Google Earth to choose a stretch of wall that looked enticing (for me the criteria is lofty, dramatic, unrestored, but within sensible range of civilisation), then I put down the red line on the map above using the path tool. Next, by selecting the elevation profile of that path, it gives me the red graph under the map. This is a cross-section of the path I have selected; it shows the elevation, incline and the really steep bits to avoid.
Looking at that elevation profile, I definitely want to avoid the crazy steep bit in the final third. Actually, the dip just after that could be a good starting point. There are two reasons why. First, by looking at Google Earth I can see an obvious access point on to the Wall here via a valley that starts from a marked road (indicated above with the blue pin). Secondly, about 6 km east, the wall drops down into a village which is actually the beginning of a lesser-known restored Great Wall section, Baiyangyu (White Sheep Valley).
Here's the elevation profile for just my selected hike, starting from the road, and it looks pretty good. A fair bit of climbing, but nothing crazy steep, either up or down. And again, the key thing is, I've got a start point reachable by road (you will have to direct the driver there via GPS - see above: phone), and a known end point (in this case the beginning of a touristed Great Wall section), so you can tell the same driver to go there and wait for you several hours later. (And sound the alarm if you don't come down by nightfall, potentially). That's the plan, anyway...
The reality, on the other hand... This terrifying quarry greeted us at the beginning of the hike. Not the kind of place you want to be. It didn't look this big on Google Earth, but the taxi had already dropped us off a kilometre or so back because the road was getting too rough for a car. It looked like the end of our hike before it had begun, but a worker drove past in a van, took pity on us, and gave us a lift through the quarry. See above: luck.
This is not the Great Wall, obviously. It's actually underneath the exact bit of mountain road where I'd dropped the blue pin and planned to start of hike. We were lucky, in a sense, that we did start in that quarry, because it didn't look easy to get down from this high section of bridged road and into the valley. Again see above: luck.
Once in the valley I knew with confidence that I was on my Google Earth path, and after a while, we got our first glimpse of watchtowers amid the autumn colours. What this photo doesn't show is that you simply cannot walk on these sorts of mountains if there is no trail. From a distance the foliage looks manageable, but the thorns are almost impenetrable (see above: clothing that covers your arms and legs). The trail faded out about 15 metres from the right hand watchtower, and it took us half an hour to get to it. That's a speed of 50 cm per minute, resulting in plenty of cuts and scratches.
The moral here is: never, ever leave the trail or path. Fortunately, along the Great Wall (at least almost all the wild sections I have hiked) the trails are marked with red ribbons tied to branches. It does mean that you can't just barrel down the hill when you've had enough hiking though, you better find access paths or shepherd trails, or just go back the way you came, otherwise you might get into trouble.
That's more like it! Our first stunning Great Wall vista of the day. In fact, we joined the Wall from the access valley somewhere in the bottom right of the photo, and this picture is facing west. That means this dramatic stretch of Wall is that crazy steep bit we were smart enough to avoid thanks to Google Earth. It's nice to photograph and admire, less fun to climb (especially downwards).
Something else to stress is that Google Earth will never reveal exactly how dramatic your hike will be. For example, during this stretch, the wall became natural rock along a sheer ridge line with stunning views and steep drops either side. Remember: wild wall hiking is risky. Loose rubble, unstable structures, limited access on or off the wall. It was supposed to be for defense, after all. See above: friend / water.
Other things you can do to keep safe(r): Hike in the warmer months. That way, if you have to spend an unscheduled night in a watchtower, you won't freeze, and you can set off again at first light. Bring a phone charger or portable battery with you. Keep your day hikes under 7km. Have a "civilised" end point in mind, like a village or commercial Great Wall section. And just go easy.
This unique watchtower is called Shenweilou (神威楼 - invincible might tower), an unusually well-fortified tower that is reasonably well documented. I knew via reading online (see above: Great Wall Forum) that it was almost at the end of my hike, and so I had a definite 'point' to aim for. The sight of this beauty from above was welcome relief (in fact, by then we could already see the road in the valley down below).
When you're ready to plan your own wild great wall hike, register at the Great Wall Forum and grab some tips and directions from the folks there, and be sure to share your own trips and knowledge too. Remember too that the wild Great Wall, however neglected, is a protected, technically private national monument. Do your bit; pick up other people's trash as you go, try to avoid disturbing loose rubble. Check out some more info on Great Wall heritage preservation (in English) here.

heres a fun craft project that even a 3 year old can help with, assuming hes willing to help. all mine wanted to do was see what would stick to the clear contact paper we were using. we used the madison courier christmas song book that we got with our paper on saturday morning and just went create-crazy from there.
and of course NO thanksgiving weekend would be complete without putting up the christmas tree... and then having pie. yes, im not ashamed to admit that my pie grand total came to the belt busting number of 10 pieces, for the whole weekend, thursday through tonight, not 1 day. that would be embarrassing.

no crankies allowed
its probably happened to you, if youre a mom that is. my beautiful, well behaved little angel (thats him as a cute little cranky baby, back when the crankies could be excused) did it, for maybe the third time ever, he had a meltdown in public.
the crankies had been fighting for control for the majority of the day. we went with the silly approach to banish them, we fished them out of his head with a toy fishing pole , threw them down the garbage disposal and turned it on. hahaha, everything was good for a while, so we ran a few errands and even went on a "field trip" (a short walk in Clifty Park). by 1 the crankies were back i asked my angel what happened, we threw them down the garbage disposal? he said "i got it out wis my fissin pole"
this little exchange occured on my way to get gas, since the light came on and the bell dinged, i didnt want to waste any time. i do want to mention that i FILLED my tank of my malibu for 18.75, the pump elation i felt was however, short lived. i needed to stop by the office, as we pulled into my office parking lot my angel asked me if he could have a sucker when we got inside, "im sure Maribel will give you one if you ask her" was my answer. he didnt want to. when we got inside i was standing there chatting and my angel literally threw himself down at my feet and just started wailing! thankfully the guy im talking to has 3 boys and looked at us like 'this is no big deal'.
i tried to pick my angel up and he went completely limp, still screaming i laid him back down on the floor . i stood there for a second, this has only happened to me once before, with the screaming and the laying on the floor and the limpness, and for a minute tried to get him to tell me whats wrong. then i lowered my center of gravity, got a good grip and carted the kid off to the car screaming all the way.
10 minutes later when he had gotten a hold of himself, we started to discuss. it was determined that the crankies completely took over and started their own party when Maribel wouldnt give him a sucker, a sucker that he never asked her for.
my angel is taking a nap now. im hoping to be able to go to the grocery store later. NO CRANKIES ALLOWED!

im a baby
im always given a little bit of insight on the way God has to deal with us when i have to deal with The Boy (age 3)
he says he wants something (ie. water) and when he gets it looks at it, looks at me and bursts into tears because its not in the doggie cup. its not what he expected it to be.
thinks that when i say we will go to the library, it means get your hat and coat fusses and pouts until distracted by the cat. just because i said we will doesnt mean we are going RIGHT NOW.
pretends to be busy doing something of equal importance (in his mind) when told to take his shoes to his room . is disobedient while trying to justify disobedience.
and the list goes on and on with the childish things related to me, the baby and God, the loving parent.
im such a baby.
i also want to say thanks to all of you who blessed mom with a happy birthday wish, and for the record Grandma (who was in the hospital, see comments for happy birthday post) is doing fine.

i didnt buy it!
these are the first fruits of my "buy nothing christmas". a set of four coasters that i found on the web and duplicated using some fabric scraps.
and a first attempt at this cute and cuddly doll, i was rather surprised that my first one turned out this well. Ken said i should give it to a woman we know who is opening a doll museum, but we both agreed it reminded us of my mom. i'm sure there will be more to come i have really enjoyed spending the day sewing and looking for patterns and ideas for my free christmas.

i get it!
i had the opportunity to go on a womens overnight retreat this weekend at a wondreful rustic retreat center in henryville, in.
our theme was "get it", with the emphasis on "it" as in, what is "it"?
the answer my friends: "it" is wisdom and discernment.
do you want "it"? well, guess what! ask and God will give "it" to you! (matt. 7:7)
so ask for "it" then stand up and take "it" and use "it". "it" was what solomon wanted most in the world, more than riches, more than fame, more than the death of his enemies, he wanted an obedient heart, to know how to rule his people in the right way, and to know the difference between right and wrong. wisdom (truth) and discernment, so thats what he asked for, and thats what he got (1 kings 3:9-13).
well, do you get it?

to rake or not to rake
im thinking we better rake. thats too many leaves to just run over with the mower. but its a rule, you must play in the leaf piles before throwing them on the compost heap.

awwww c'mon
ahhhh the revelation of spending the first half hour of my day with the Lord.
God doesnt want me to be comfortable, he wants me to be useful. apparently that combination, while available on a sedan, is not an option the life of one who wishes to grow spititually. you cant have it both ways with God.
and im so not speaking of physical comfort here, so relax moms and dads, im fine physically and in the way of material comforts, at this time.

no little kids, only people
i know it has been a few days since i have posted but these pictures cover thursday and friday of last week, we had a guest over on both days 16 month old A. his grandma was under the weather so his days were spent here on the hilltop. D liked it at first but late on thursday while he was trying to play quietly with his big boy play doh, i heard the quote of the year from D "no little kids, only people" were allowed to touch the play doh
and of course the fun of halloween night, after the parents of my young charge came to fetch him on friday afternoon, we got dressed up and went to a halloween street party downtown followed by a little bit of trick or treating.
im still recovering from my saturday to sunday trip to Ohio but it was nice to see friends and i even got to go to a bookstore! even though i had to stay in the kids section it was nice and smelled booky (is that even a word?)

If 'America's Next Top Model' Returns For Cycle 24, The Show Could Change Things Up
I wasn't sure we would ever see this day. America's Next Top Model will crown its Cycle 23 winner during its brand-new episode on Wednesday, March 8 at 10 p.m. ET. When a show is around for that long, you expect it to last forever, but that wasn't the case when The CW cancelled ANTM after 22 seasons on the air in October 2015. But the thing about ANTM is that it always comes back more fabulous than ever, and that's exactly what happened when it was announced that VH1 had picked up the competition for Cycle 23, which premiered last December. So now that the series has had a successful first season on VH1, can we expect America's Next Top Model to return for Cycle 24?
As you can see, nothing is guaranteed when it comes to ANTM these days. VH1 has made no official announcement regarding more ANTM on the network in the future. However, something that makes me optimistic about the chances of ANTM serving up more cycles in the future is that it appears that casting for Cycle 24 has already been underway for some time, according to a couple of posts on the Instagram profile of Michelle Mock, ANTM's supervising casting director, posted in January.
When we'll actually see Cycle 24 premiere on our TV screens if, in fact, it does get the greenlight is still a bit of a mystery that we'll probably only find out the answer to when VH1 officially announces the new season. It could very well follow in the footsteps of Cycle 23 and premiere in December 2017, or bow at a completely different time of the year since past seasons of ANTM have been known to drop in the winter, spring, summer, and fall.
To be honest, I just want more ANTM in my life. Although, as a longtime ANTM fan, I feel it is my duty to point out a few things that I think this reality show could improve upon if it does return for Cycle 24.
More Laughs
When ANTM moved over to VH1 and got a bit of a revamp, I knew there would be changes and not everything from the original CW series would remain. However, one aspect of the original show that I wish was carried over into its new incarnation was its comedy and campiness. ANTM still has the high fashion and the high drama that we know and love, but it just takes itself too seriously now. We need more of that outrageousness and just plain silliness that made it deliciously entertaining to watch week after week.
More Constructive Criticism
On the flip side of that, I think that the judges could do a better job of really helping to mold the contestants into becoming models. Sure, they give the contestants feedback on their performance that week at judges' panel, but it always seems to be so much about what they love or hate about their photo, video, or runway walk and not enough about what they can do to improve or enhance their performance. I know that judges' panel, like the whole episode, is a very edited-down version of what happens during that week for the contestants, but it would be nice to see someone give a lesson on elongating your neck, finding your light, and — dare I say it — smizing as Tyra Banks used to do so that the contestants can up their game and really transform into top models.
More Ashley Graham
I'll admit, I don't dislike Rita Ora as host of the new ANTM as much as I thought I would, but I still think judge Ashley Graham should be promoted to the emcee of the whole shebang. Not only does she know the fashion industry as one of the most famous supermodels around right now, but she also embodies the kind of winner ANTM is looking for these days, someone who's "a business, a brand, and a boss." I mean, the woman has posed on the cover of major magazines, has her own clothing lines, and is a body confidence activist. Plus, she's the most eloquent, inspirational, charming, and entertaining person to watch on ANTM. In short, ANTM would be so much better if Graham was at the helm.
More Variety In Challenges
Cycle 23 had some really interesting challenges. From showing their personalities by shooting social media stories to making the super market look super chic in avant-garde couture, this season's models really pushed themselves in the name of fashion. But I feel like ANTM could go even bigger. I get that this season was all about a rebirth and getting back to basics, but one of the reasons why this show is such a delight to watch is because of the creativity of the elimination challenges. Instead of having essentially two music video challenges this season, perhaps ANTM could have switched things up by challenging the models on their business savvy or having them pose in an editorial shoot with a really high-art concept. I think pushing the boundaries of challenges would not only help separate the models from the wannabes but also make for some really memorable TV.
More Go-sees
This season of ANTM kicked off with go-sees, but that was even before the contestants had been whittled down to the show's finalists. There were just too many models to keep track of and to get to know in that short period of time that all of the pressure, drama, and attitude that usually make the go-sees one of the fiercest parts of the competition was completely missing from this cycle. If there is another cycle of ANTM in the future, I hope that the go-sees come later in the season as they used to in the original CW series when the models have had some time to hone their skills and the cream of the crop is just left to really experience the high stakes of the competition.
More Travel
I don't know what's going to happen in the Cycle 23 finale of ANTM, but I'm pretty sure the models aren't going to jet off to some faraway land as they have done in nearly every other cycle of ANTM. As someone who loves travel and learning about other cultures, seeing the models spend their final weeks of the competition mastering some foreign fashion was always a highlight of each season for me. I think if the ANTM judges really want the winner to be "a business, a brand, and a boss," then appealing to an international audience is key. Plus, nothing ups the stress level of contestants like travel.
No season of a TV show can be perfect, especially a freshman season, as Cycle 23 of ANTM basically was. But overall, this cycle of the show struck a good balance of keeping beloved elements of ANTM intact while at the same time, breathing new life into this long-running series. That is certainly no small feat, and if Cycle 23 is what ANTM pulled off after a bit of a reshuffle, I'm excited to see what the show has in store for the future.

That time of year…
It's that time of year….you know, where there is food EVERYWHERE and none of it is on the "good for you" list. Candy, cookies, mashed potatoes drenched in gravy, pie – it's everywhere and it's just going to get worse. So the big question is, what do you do about it? You have been busting your butt in the gym and now you are faced with your nemesis – plates piled with brownies, gingerbread men and peanut butter cups. Do you turn it all down, insult your mother-in-law, alienate friends and be miserable? Or do you eat everything in sight, and then berate yourself the next time you hop on the scale or try to fit into those jeans that suspiciously "shrank" the last time you washed them? How about neither. How about…moderation?? You CAN have your cake and eat it too…seriously, it's possible. And if you go off one evening and stuff yourself like a Build-A-Bear animal? Forgive and forget. It's not cheating, it's a CHOICE. You made the choice, accept it and move on. Get into the gym, eat SENSIBLY and move on. If you find that one night leads to another, and another and another and pretty soon you find that your sock drawer is full of empty candy wrappers and ice cream cartons, well, that's another issue altogether. There is something else going on and eating is just a response to a stressor. If you have the strength to pick up the barbell, you have the strength to JUST EAT ONE. Moderate, forgive yourself and get help from somebody if you really think you have a problem. That's what coaches are for…

The United States Supreme Court recently ruled in
South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., that a state can require out-of-state sellers without a physical presence in that state (i.e., remote sellers) to collect and remit sales or use tax on sales delivered into that state.
Beginning October 1, 2018, Wisconsin requires remote sellers to collect and remit sales or use tax on sales of taxable products and services in Wisconsin. New standards for administering sales tax laws on remote sellers have been developed by rule. The rule is consistent with the Court's decision in
Wayfair, which approved a small seller exception for sellers who do not have annual sales of products and services into the state of (1) more than $100,000, or (2) 200 or more separate transactions. Effective December 16, 2018, Wisconsin sales and use tax statutes were amended (2017 Wis. Act 368) to provide the small seller exception by law, consistent with the Court's decision in
Wayfair and the rule.
Note: The small seller exception does not apply to sellers with a physical presence in Wisconsin.

On display will be the new 4K organic light-emitting diode Bravia A8F series, which features the 4K HDR image processor X1 Extreme and brings a new design to the Bravia lineup.
The prototype of the next-generation picture processor X1 Ultimate, which has twice the real-time processing power of the X1 Extreme, will also be on display.
|Sony's 4K OLED Bravia A8F series on display at CES (Sony)
In the headset category, Sony is introducing the WF-SP700N, which has "the world's first noise-canceling and splash-proof functionality among truly wireless headphones," according to the company. The headphones' IPX4 waterproof protection level allows users to enjoy full functionality without worrying about sweat or rain.
At CES, Sony will also showcase two new super mid-range smartphones that will be released globally starting later this month: the Xperia XA2 and Xperia XA2 Ultra.
Running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 Mobile Platform, both phones have a FHD display and a main camera that can take 4K videos. The Ultra comes with an extra "dual selfie camera," made up of a 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel super wide-angle selfie camera.
For the home, Sony will add the LSPX-A1 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector, coming to the US market in spring 2018, to its Life Space UX line. The projector allows 4K projections when placed near a wall, with audio produced through an Advanced Vertical Drive Technology-compatible tweeter and enhanced with subwoofers.
The company will also be showcasing aibo, the artificial intelligence robotic dog that it announced last November, for the first time outside of Japan at CES. Powered with Sony's deep learning technology, aibo changes and adapts in response to its environment. Eventually, the robot is able to develop a unique personality based on interactions with its owners.
Sony will also display the concept for its automotive image sensors, which offer 360-degree sensing that is quicker and more precise than the human eye. At the Sony CES booth, visitors will be able to experience how Sony hopes its sensor technology will affect automated driving, according to the company.

Can You Teach Compassion?/
Compassion, empathy, altruism and kindness are positive qualities we intuitively want our children to imbibe. These qualities help a child be successful in life. The good news is that, according to research, these qualities can be deliberately fostered in families, schools and communities. We typically attach much importance to academic growth and often not so much to social and spiritual growth. Fortunately, at SJMS we have a Montessori environment that is conducive to learning and imbibing compassion. Maria Montessori designed her schools as a place for developmental needs of young children, guiding them along on their unique, individual paths, but also to nurture them to be peaceful, compassionate and empathetic. How? For children to learn kindness, we need to surround them with compassion and kindness. Nurturing environments are rich with acceptance, tolerance and empathy and we can build these environments in the every day places that children live in. Kindness in young children is demonstrated through cooperation, sharing and consoling others. Between the ages of 1 and 4, children grow emotionally in many ways and evolve their sense of autonomy and their gradual shift towards understanding the causes and consequences of their feelings. Some things you can also do to reinforce this:
• Permit children to experience a wide range of emotions and use a range of emotion words to help them talk about their experience • Be clear and consistent about acceptable and unacceptable behaviors that go along with emotions. • Be open to a child's offer of help and suggestions for comfort. Allow them to express their compassion. • Try to be calm when your emotions are triggered. Show your child how you can process their feelings and offer a rational explanation for your behaviors instead of demonstrating strong reactions.
A child in elementary school is now able to take the perspective of another person and come up with ideas to alleviate their distress. They are also ready to think and act more broadly on complex social issues such as homelessness, hunger or discrimination.
• Especially when a child hurts another, encourage them to imagine how he or she would feel in the victims place. • Talk about emotions, your own as well as the child's. Naming emotion builds a feeling vocabulary. • Read books to explore both positive and negative examples of social interactions.
Perhaps the simplest and most profound way of teaching compassion is to encourage children to follow the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Neil and Serida got married at one of my favorite Venues, Russo's on the Bay.
Central Park is such an oasis of amazing locations to shoot engagement sessions. 2 weeks ago I met with Lei & Tim at 7am to shoot their engagement. I thought that shooting early would minimize the amount of people, joggers, dogs…Wrong! Anyway, we had a blast doing this shoot and we are excited for their wedding at Fox woods in December.
Do You know what makes for a pretty amazing engagement session backdrop? Hoboken NJ. It's filled with gorgeous scenery like the Manhattan skylines and and some of the most picturesque settings you will ever lay your eyes upon. Jen and David engagement session was shot on memorial day and this engagement session will be one to remember.
Sometimes you know that a wedding is going to be amazing but then it exceeds your expectations anyway. It was a saturday morning in August where I meet Andrea for the very first time. After talking to her over the phone numerous of times, the day was finally here. As soon as I opened the door She had a glow to her. I knew she was ready for her big day. It made me happy to see she was in good spirit.
As I proceeded to take pictures, Andrea and her brides maids had to run to get the dress. I snapped a picture or two of them laughing and reminiscing. Inside the house I took some photojournalist shots of her and her mother together. I got a feeling that they was very close and i wanted to tell that in the pictures.
The ceremony was very nice. The church was beautiful with perfect lighting for pictures. I got a chance to take some portraits shot of david along with his best man. After the ceremony we headed over to the Sand castle for the reception. After cutting the cake, she danced her shoes all night long.
I must say, all of her wishes came true for her on this day.
My dear friend Tessina married the love of her life Omar about four months ago. I was hired to Capture every moment of this wedding and was delighted to do so. The day started in a beautiful home in brooklyn where I meet tessina getting ready. The joy on her face was great to see because I could tell she was excited. I dont believe she was nervous one bit. lol. If she was, it never showed. After taking some awesome pictures of her, we headed over to church where I meet Omar for the very first time. My first impression was "what a great looking couple". Omar and tessina was great to work with, laid back and very easy going. After the ceremony, everyone headed over to Glen Terrance in brooklyn. Here are they Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Glen-Terrace/130785396974865. What a beautiful venue. I got some great portraits of tessina and omar over here. Check out the gallery and let me know what you think.
I was honored and flattered to shoot Kayleen and Kiyleen Sweet 16 right from the start. One night , I picked up a call from a woman.
"Andrew! Im throwing my daughters a sweet 16 and we want you to shoot to shoot it!"
"Great!" I said.
"They are twins!" "I want you to capture this once in a lifetime moment for both of them!"
" ok, No problem"
When the doors opened and Kayleen and Kiyleen came running in, I knew it was got to be a fun night.

Healthcare and Technology
Here at CareRemote, there's nothing that keeps us up at night more than thinking about how we help you ti implement and take advantage of the latest changes in the healthcare landscape.
Here are a few random facts on U.S Healthcare Spending:
- Total U.S. health expenditures is $2.8T (2013) and is expected to rise to $4.8T by 2021 (CMS); about $2.2T is spent on personal healthcare, while the remainder is spent on investment (e.g. R&D), health insurance administration, and public health
- Hospital care, physician, and other clinical services make up about 51% of all health spending ($1.3T) (CMS)
- Around 30% of all healthcare spending in the U.S. or more than $750B per year is wasted (IOM, 2013)
- 75% of all healthcare dollars are spent on patients with one or more chronic conditions, many of which can be prevented, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, lung disease, high blood pressure, and cancer (CDC)
In this brief post we've alluded to the costs associated with medical markets. Changes in healthcare laws require new ways of approaching care-coordination. A patient and family navigation system that would guide patients through the hospital, keeping patients/families updated on the latest clinical information. Robots for monitoring patients that are prone to falls and other high-risk behaviors would cut costs of the labor force. Artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used for predictive modeling to monitor patients, make treatment recommendations and more.
Devices and most EHRs are not integrated. Connecting the device to the EHR would automate what is now being done manually by nursing staff. Home-health is going to move the needle in healthcare!

Chapter 1: The City
In November of 2015, I returned to New York City. Having spent years in the mid-west, I had lost touch with my roots. I no longer hung out in basement martial arts schools, shopping at bodegas felt like a distant memory, and it had been years since I visited my favorite comic book stores. The subway seemed like claustrophobic tunnels hollowed out by enormous steel worms. I would soon begin work at a community clinic but how could I do my best work if I was no longer in touch with the city that I loved so much? I decided to get reacquainted with my beloved New York by visiting the different comic book stores that adorn the NYC landscape, starting with an old favorite.
I put away my business suit and donned my NYC armor, blue jeans, a black t-shirt, sneakers, and a hooded coat. Shades and my favorite superhero cap finished off the look. I rode the 6-train to 51st street and hopped on the M-train. A short trip over water brought me to the Borough of Brooklyn. I descended the long and narrow Flushing station stairs to avoid the treacherous elevator that had trapped many a hipster. I hit the streets with the same burst of energy I felt when my plane from the mid-west landed in LaGuardia. I suffered a devastating blow when I realized that my old comic book shop was now a Botanica.
Cellphone in hand, I rode back to Manhattan as I searched for another store and a bar where I could drown my dejection in non-alcoholic ginger beer. I ended up in a cute bar, seated next to my future artist. We made an instant connection and the two years that followed have been a series of astonishing artistic awakenings.
We eventually found a comic book shop that we both liked, but more importantly, we launched a comic book company that allows us to create worlds. We are now ready to share the fruits of our creation.
We have chosen New York as the setting for our personal and comic book stories because it is a city that is close to our hearts. We now share it with you. Thank you for accompanying us on our new journey.

LLuks London by Tanya Dimitrova
"Yani helped us with the editorial photo shoot for our debut collection Lluks London. Working with Yani was easy and pleasant throughout the day and while editing photos. The result of our collaboration is a beautifully - put together lookbook with professionally edited photos within the target period of time."

"I hate having my photograph taken and the prospect of having to have a profile picture was filling me with dread – and then Yani came along. Yani has a gentle way of putting you at ease and somehow getting you to look good in a photograph. The session flew by and I actually have a set of photos that I'm proud of."
