The Specialized Shuffle LED MIPS Children's Cycling Helmet is packed full of clever design features. It comes with an integrated LED rear light to help make your child more visible at night, or in low-light conditions. It also comes with the latest in cycle helmet technology, MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System).
MIPS is designed to protect your child's head from glancing blows by allowing the helmet to move in a controlled way on impact. This helps to absorb some of the force of a crash, reducing the shock to the brain. Once MIPS has absorbed the initial shock the in-moulded helmet shell will then absorb the bulk of the force. Overall this dual system gives a safer helmet.
To do any good at all your child needs to wear the helmet so Specialized have used easy to adjust straps and the Specialized Headset SX fit system so it's easy to get the right fit while their 4th Dimension Cooling System keeps little heads cool even on hot days. The Shuffle Child is available in a range of colours to match Specialized kids bikes and comes with a detachable visor.
What are MIPS Helmets?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. The MIPS technology was developed, and is owned, by a Swedish company who license it to helmet manufacturers. It is designed to give your head better protection in side on impacts, Find out more about MIPS helmets

Pakistan skipper –Sarfraz Ahmed, on Tuesday, has denied rumors of leading Pakistan across all formats is becoming a burden on him. On the contrary, he said that leading Pakistan is a matter of great pride for him and he considers himself fortunate to do this job.
According to a report in the Dawn, Sarfraz said, "It is great honour for me that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed me captain in all three formats; and this [responsibility] in no way is burdening me. I have always enjoyed playing cricket in every format and tried to produce my best and bring the best out of the national team [as captain]."
Commenting on their defeat against New Zealand, the 30-year-old Sarfraz said, "We could have won at least two ODIs [in New Zealand]. But in the end, the result went against us. The batting, which has some flaws, did not click according to our plans."
Recently, former cricketer Moin Khan urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to extend the tenure of Sarfraz Ahmed for at least by two more years to avoid possible dressing room conflicts.
Sarfraz Ahmed has brought a new dimension to Pakistan's game ever since leading Pakistan to the ICC Champions Trophy title. Under him the team has been playing an aggressive brand of cricket off late. After losing the ODI series, Pakistan under Sarfraz Ahmed bounced back in the T20I series.
With bilateral ties between India and Pakistan being brought to a standstill, the rivalry between both the countries is only being seen in ICC tournaments. With Kohli and Sarfraz Ahmed both being vibrant captains, a series will spice up the contest and will also be a step forward to garnering the relations between the neighbouring countries.

Unconscious Life: Free Will Doesn't Exist?
In the News (from the Max Planck Society): "Many processes in the brain occur automatically and without involvement of our consciousness. This prevents our mind from being overloaded by simple routine tasks. But when it comes to decisions, we tend to assume they are made by our conscious mind. This is questioned by our current findings. …
"The researchers found that it was possible to predict from brain signals which option participants would take seven seconds before they consciously made their decision. …
"This suggests that the decision is unconsciously prepared ahead of time."
My Comment: A decision is made outside of us, above, but not only in our case, but in the case of all the objects of the world according to the principle: glass begins to break before the bullet hits it. Everything in the world happens in a way opposite to what we think; our thoughts, decisions, and actions do not come from us to the world but in the reverse order, they come from "somewhere" to us… The Creator passes through us a series of sensations, and we have to learn to respond to them correctly, recognizing Him in each of them… and then our life will become conscious!

A Critique of Dolores Cannon's Conversation with Nostradamus
(incl. Quatrain III 60)
The late Mrs. Cannon recalls a spooky conversation with Michel de Nostradame in this Youtube video:
Dolores Cannon My Incredible Conversation with Nostradamus
She speaks of the coming Antichrist and his description of the common people as "the lice at his feet" according to Nostredame (or Michel is taking about the common people as the lice at his own feet, her grammar is not clear). Well, the Sixteenth Century was certainly lousy and Michel trained as a pharmacist so he should know (and there is talk now of mutant 'superlice' appearing amongst us) but aren't lice more likely to be on your head and torso than at your feet? Perhaps Nostredame-cum-Cannon had meant "on his feet" instead of "at his feet"? An easy to understand breakdown of communication, perhaps.
Dolores also said that "he (Michel) mentioned Ogmios". Well maybe, if you believe in her methods, yet see the EXTENDED FOOTNOTE to the Article EXPLORING THE LATE DOLORES CANNON'S 'ANTICHRIST ACCORDING TO NOSTRADAMUS' that begins
"There are references all through the 'Opera Nostramus' to an Ogmion (V 80) Ognion (IX 89) lomygon (VI 42) dogmion (VIII 84) but not Ogmios "the Celtic Hercules" whom most Nostradamus reasearchers have previously believed to be the inspiration for the aforementioned."
She then dips into gematria. (See the Nostradamus Quatrain VI 18 THE HEBREW ART)
There are types that each show different results such as Jewish, English and Simple Gematria. Without knowing which one is in play she demonstrates that 'worldwideweb' equates to the 666 of Revelation and extrapolates that the Internet is the answer to the New Testament prediction known as 'Mark of the Beast'.
Revelation 13:17-18 and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number be 666. (Youngs Literal Translation Bible)
(Also see '666' in the Article CYCLES NUMBERS SYMBOLS CHAINS AND LINKS TO NOSTRADAMUS)
It seems a little unfair that she may be confusing the carrier 'Internet', compiled from martial and educational networks, with that privately prepared, selflessly donated computer program 'worldwideweb'. Using the Gematria website http://www.gematrix.org I found these contradistinct figures – with no trace of 666:
worldwideweb in Jewish Gematria Equals: 2879
worldwideweb in English Gematria Equals: 858
worldwideweb in Simple Gematria Equals: 143
However Dolores does go on to use numerological addition in her video to get her 6, 6, 6 results (which fails with the above-quoted numerals and also with the meaningless numerical results for 'www' obtained from the same source) and wonders about coincidence, something always worth considering.
On being told by an audience member that Michel had a deliberately Catholic surname Mrs Cannon countered "He was Jewish but his family had to convert to Catholicism" adding "Nostradamus was never happy about that". History has it that his great-grandfather converted to Christianity, possibly under duress. Michel's father and mother were very likely Catholics therefore. Michel was certainly born into Catholicism and in his lifetime had links with some middling hierarchs of the Church and several monasteries as well. It is recorded that in his daily life he dutifully observed all Catholic ceremonies. He was also a strong Monarchist which strict Jews seldom seem to be.
(Also see the section on LEGAL JEWISHNESS in the Article UNDERSTANDING NOSTRADAMUS: EXPLORING SOME SUBJECTS RECURRENT IN THE CENTURIES )
The term Christ is old Greek for the old Judean term Messiah (the Anointed). These well-understood applications are both titular, like High Priest or Commander-in-Chief. Cannon redefines Christ as meaning "humanity". Perhaps she is confused between Jesus of Nazareth – the very embodiment of pro-human goodwill – and his virtually posthumous title of Christ from which we were eventually given the organised religion of Christianity, the compilers of the New Testament. Those who knew and loved Him during His time on Earth and some time after were the Jesus worshippers among the Judeans who unhappily disrupted synagogue meetings before going underground as divers groups of followers with disparate gospels being preached.
On speaking about Nostredame's use of antique language she gives the example "Mysie, Lysie, & Pamphylie" seeming to think these names outlandish and requiring her special knowledge. Yet the modern names in daily use are simply "Mycia, Lycia and Pamphylia", once Hellenized parts of Anatolia now in modern Turkey. She smiles tellingly as she reveals to us that this means "the Middle East". No it does not and never has done. 'Close but no cigar' comes to mind as Turkey, especially Istanbul, is placed transcontinentally with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia. However there are Turks living in the Middle Eastern countries and its geopolitical ties are both historic and present.
Here is my second try at quatrain III 60 (for my first attempt see the Article WATCH OUT WORLD Part 5)
Par toute Asie grande proscription,
Mesme en Mysie, Lysie, & Pamphylie :
Sang versera par absolution,
D'vn ieune noir remply de felonnie.
Throughout Asia great repressions,
In particular in Mycia, Lycia and Pamphylia:
Blood will pour though remittance of sins,
From a black virgin perfector's illicit temerity.
Line 1, OF 'Proscription' was originally from Roman antiquity and meant condemnation to death or exile without judicial overview, i.e. for political reasons. In general, though, it meant repressive measures being taken.
Line 2, OF 'Mesme' could mean importantly or else specifically (without blurred borders or any contiguity) or is the main point being put forward during a discussion or else to be pointing directly to/at.
OF 'Mysie, Lysie, & Pamphylie' all three are parts of Anatolia, which on a map is down from the Black Sea and up from Cyprus, with Lycia and Pamphylia being close one to the other by the Mediterranean coast.
Pamphylia has a loose connection with the Pentecost – the Bible records that there were Pamphylians in Jerusalem at the time of the granting to Peter of a sacramental ministry to be taken up by the Church as the remittance of sins to the penitent.
Line 3, OF 'versera' is from 'verser', to pour.
Line 4, OF 'remplir', to fill up, make full, perfect is related to OF 'implere', complete. OF 'remply/rempli' is the adjective/adverb allowing something like dare perfect.
OF 'ieune noir' may well be the Black Madonna.
Despite denigration of that goddess by the Church (she has pagan roots with sacred meteorite associations and even attracts Sufi's devotion) in the Cathedral at Chartres, a seat of Marian reverence that houses the Sancta Camisia, may be found an impressive Black Madonna statue and there may be a hundred or more other statues like this in the South of France alone which also hosts the Black Madonna festival, a popular annual pilgrimage for international gypsies.
Islam features a black stone of worship at Mecca but does not personify it as female.
In Anatolia, a matriarchal agrarian society in olden times, temples were built around fallen meteors and goddess worship has existed for thousands of years. (Similarly in Sumeria – Astarte, Artemis, Cybele, Innana, Ishtar are all associated with the planet Venus.)
The black stone goddess is attributed with a destructive-cum-transformative power, rather like Kali the well-known Hindu goddess. Death and renewal is, of course, associated with the Resurrection and seems to reflect the daily setting and rising of the Sun.
The parallel acceptance-rejection by the Church of the pre-Christian blackstone madonna demonstrates its ability to absorb yet deny competing faiths. The event described by the quatrain III 60 seems remote and is unrecorded as yet but is simple to understand: the Black Madonna has gained the upper hand in Asia Minor as the fulfiller of humanity's demands and wishes and the mighty Church or a smilar power has pushed her down again by brutality and the spilt blood of her faith-filled ones, the rival Madonna's faithful.

Hi Keith,
I downloaded SwitchYard 0.8 zip and added it to Available Software Sites. Then I clicked Reload button to update the software and I got 'No repository found...' error message. I checked the location of zip file and it is correct.
Please find the attached screenshot.

That's because you downloaded the wrong zip. Go with the site assembly.
4. Re: Error while installing SwitchYard in Eclipsercernich Jun 3, 2013 9:14 AM (in response to gurpreet)
The plugins in the editor feature were rolled into the main "SwitchYard" feature in 0.8. From 0.8 on, there is no editor feature, but if you're using the composite update site (i.e. the one with 0.7, 0.8 and 1.0), you will continue to see this feature. It is safe to simply deselect it if you are installing any version past 0.7.
Hope that helps. Sorry for the inconvenience.
5. Re: Error while installing SwitchYard in Eclipsegurpreet Jun 4, 2013 5:02 AM (in response to kcbabo)
Hi Keith,
The error message provided by me in the screenshot is incomplete (the scrollbar appeared disabled to me and I did not scroll to see the entire message... my bad) The error was occurring primarily due to missing library. I have attached a screeshot with the entire message. Below is what I did to resolve the issue:
I added following sites to Available Software Sites so that eclipse is able to download and resolve dependencies at runtime while installing switchyard:
a. http://download.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/releases/
b. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/juno/
c. http://download.eclipse.org/bpmn2-modeler/site/0.2.4/
Downloaded offline switchyard-site-assembly-0.8.0.Final.zip from http://www.jboss.org/switchyard/downloads
In Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software... -> Add -> Archive... Selected the zip and installed it successfully.
Thanks for your help.

From the team behind the nation's largest and most respected food trade event, Fine Food Australia, comes an event dedicated solely to Australia's $16 billion on-premise liquor industry, Commercial Drinks. Launching in Sydney this September, and co-located with Fine Food Australia, Commercial Drinks will provide licensed hospitality operators the opportunity to browse and taste a range of high quality liquor products, and refine drinks lists to make them more profitable.
Higher discretionary household income and changes in perceptions of health and wellbeing have recently shifted consumers towards spending more on alcoholic drinks, whilst actually drinking less. Overall market value has increased by 1.5% despite a 0.6% decline in quantity consumed. This shift has led to increased competition in the hospitality market, with operators wrestling for loyal and repeat customers. Quality and character are now more crucial than ever to business success and Commercial Drinks will be the perfect destination to discover unique tastes from the best suppliers.
On show at Commercial Drinks will be over 50 brewers, distillers, wineries, distributors, wholesalers, importers and exporters, with a focus on unique tastes from craft and artisan producers. Licensed businesses with an interest in discovering new products, including bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants, licensed cafes, caterers, hotels and accommodation, will be invited to attend. The co-location of Commercial Drinks with Fine Food Australia also means trade visitors have one destination to find all of their food, beverage, equipment, technology and fit-out needs.
Commercial Drinks will also put on a four day programme of business sessions, at the Winterhalter Speak Easy Stage. The educational programme will focus on trends in drinking out, the business behind building profitable menus, and issues affecting the industry. The Australian Liquor Marketers Networking Lounge will provide a space on the show floor for visitors and exhibitors to connect and do business.
Industry renowned 'Beer Diva' Kirrily Waldhorn has come on board as Commercial Drinks' Beer Partner, and says of the event's relevance and importance, "Australia's craft beer landscape is becoming increasingly competitive. The key to the growth of our industry is developing long-term, sustainable relationships with trade, across a wide range of channels." Respected wine marketer, David Messum, from Just The Drop, is also contributing expertise on the wine industry for Commercial Drinks.
Commercial Drinks is sure to be a unique and enriching experience for anyone in the on-premise liquor industry looking to grow or improve the way they do business.
When: 11 – 14 September 2017
Where: International Convention Centre Sydney, Darling Harbour
Registration: Registration opens in April 2017
Commercial Drinks and Fine Food Australia are strictly trade only events. Children are not permitted.

This riveting story is an intricate dissection of a 'normal' American family. Driven by an incredible score (which won Tony Awards for Best Original Score AND Best Orchestrations) the narrative burrows into family secrets long since buried. This is a musical that asks the question: Can the seemingly perfect family survive an insurmountable event and tender the untenable. A story whose mere description would destroy it- see it before anyone reveals it's secrets.

Wait... Did I hear that properly? Not only are we going to continue to lose our Beacon flag in the clouds so we can't even see them anymore, but the now nearly invisible plumb lines that USED to at least make SEEING where the flag is supposed to be, possible...was intentional?? They WANT us to be completely unable to gain ANY benefit from our Beacons??
Gods. This has been the BANE of my existence in-game. I set a Beacon, so I can track where I came from, then continue my quest for Resin... I look back WELL before the Beacon should be below the horizon and...wait. Where's my DAMN BEACON?!? Start driving back the way I came, finally notice it IS well above the horizon... stuffed right into a cloud. And the damn plumb-line, now being hair-thin and practically invisible, does NOTHING to help me locate where the damn FLAG is!!
Why?? Why do they want to make Beacons totally worthless?? I don't get it. It's already tough to remember to drop one before you lose sight of your base, but to make it pointless to have the colorful flag at the top since it's going to disappear into a cloud that will never move, AND to INTENTIONALLY make the plumb-line almost invisible?? On PURPOSE? ...why? Why do they want this? Please explain this to me... I'm completely lost here...and if I had to depend on my Beacons to find my way back, I'd be lost forever...

Buying Buddy IDX/CRM Launches in Miami
Miami Real Estate Agents Rejoice! Buying Buddy IDX CRM is launching in Southern Florida.
Buying Buddy is taking Miami by storm. The Miami IDX CRM is now serving Jupiter, Coral Gables, Northwestern Dade, Broward, and the greater Miami area. The two-in-one IDX CRM is designed for Miami real estate agents who need more free time and help growing relationships with future clients.
Buying Buddy works by beautifully displaying property listings on any Miami Realtor's website. While website visitors look through listings, Buying Buddy works to capture their contact information. The Relationship Management (CRM) system then stores all of the contact information. From there, agents can review homebuyers' search activity, send tailored emails, schedule calls, automate drip campaigns, and monitor all of their relationships from one, convenient location. It integrates with Zillow and Facebook, too.
Buying Buddy works by presenting MLS data on through their IDX/RETS system. It populates beautiful listings on any agent's website. At the same time, Buying Buddy's CRM system works by capturing the contact information of leads visiting a real estate agent's website. The integrated CRM then stores and uses the contact information.
Buying Buddy's mission is to give agents more free time and create meaningful relationships with future clients. The team over at Buying Buddy believes that agents should have more free time for what matters most. The Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system frees up time for agents by automating their tasks and communications. The IDX/RETS system is easy to work with and install, taking the hassle out of web management. It is reliable and updated seamlessly. By combining both the IDX and the CRM into one system, agents no longer have two sets of accounts to manage, software to install, and support teams to work with.
Create New Relationships with Future Clients
Miami agents will also love the way Buying Buddy provides relationships with leads. The CRM nurtures relationships that begin with website visitors. From there, real estate agents can grow new relationships with leads. Buying Buddy tracks relationships at every stage, automating the entire process. Phone calls, emails, action plans, and customized listings are all part of the relationship building process.
The Buying Buddy's IDX CRM system is a plugin that works on any WordPress, Joomla, SquareSpace, Weebly, Adobe Muse, HTML, or PHP website. The plugin is quick and easy to use. Buying Buddy works to make IDX/RETS listings easily accessible while integrating lead capture through their Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
The CRM is The Secret Sauce
Buying Buddy is unique because it was built with the intention of saving real estate agents time while helping them build relationships with future clients. The CRM is the secret sauce that makes it great! It collects visitor information and tracks each relationship. The CRM also integrates with Zillow and Facebook to manage every relationship in one, mobile-friendly location.
The easy-to-use software allows agents and teams to see an analysis of a lead's interests and behavior. Agents can review properties views, created tailored listing emails, view emails opened, schedule calls, view search activity, and more. This allows agents to quickly assess each future client's individual needs and quickly tailor communications to win them over.
The CRM manages each relationship individually, allowing agents and teams to track how each relationship is growing. Personalized analysis and communications allow agents to turn each lead into a new client. Miami real estate teams will love Buying Buddy, too. Teams can be managed, relationships can be assigned, and conversions can be tracked in one, simple-to-use place.
Buying Buddy's "Welcome to Miami" price point is $49/month. The company wants their two-in-one system accessible to any agent in Miami, Jupiter, Miami Beach, Broward, Coral Gables, or Northwest Dade. While most other Miami IDX CRM systems cost hundreds of dollars a month, Buying Buddy saves money for agents to invest in other areas of their businesses.
Buying Buddy is happy to now be serving Miami agents. The two-in-one Miami IDX CRM is designed for agents who need more free time and help growing relationships with future clients. The two-in-one system is currently discounted for Miami agents. Let Buying Buddy keep an eye on your real estate business while you focus on what matters most.
Need a New Website, too?
In need of a website overhaul? Buying Buddy and their partner, Blue Fire Sites also build real estate websites from the ground up, with a number of real estate themes available.

Speculate to accumulate…
Beware of BT telesales people offering savings – it could cost you money. The Diary was persuaded to join the PremierLine scheme, where, for a small charge, savings can be made on certain calls. But on this month's bill, the Diary was informed that savings of 3.458 were made after a charge of 5.10 – leaving the Diary worse off by 1.642.
When the Diary complained about this apparent discrepancy to BT, PremierLine customer service attendant Anna said savings were made on call charges over 45. The Diary clearly hadn't been making enough calls.
She offered to cancel the scheme: "If you think your call charges are going to be below 45." How does the Diary know what the coming bill will be? "Everybody knows roughly," says Anna, adding: "If you want to make money, you just have to take the gamble."

Two hundred and seventy-one Christians in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh have been charged with a range of crimes including attempting to convert Hindus through the use of drugs and by spreading lies about Hinduism.
Of the 271, just three were named—pastors Durga Prasad Yadav, Kirit Rai and Jitendra Ram—in the charges filed in Jaunpur district, 200km southeast of the state capital Lucknow, on Sept. 5.
The 271 were initially cleared of any wrongdoing by a court in August, but now stand "accused of various criminal offenses, like fraud, defiling places of worship, prejudice against national integration", Deputy Police Superintendent Anil Kumar Pandey told AsiaNews.
"In Uttar Pradesh Hindu radicals have fabricated unfounded accusations against innocent Pentecostal Christians," Sajan K. George, president of the Global Council of Indian Christians (GCIC), told AsiaNews.

"There has been a surge in persecution against Christians. Pentecostal pastors and Christian groups are under the constant watch of radical elements and the police," he added.
A local pastor said the allegations were "absolutely false and baseless." He told UCAN Christians had been worshiping in the area for the past 15 years and that it never had caused any problems until the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power.
A lawyer for those who filed the complaint said the suspects had been trying for years to persuade people to convert to Christianity and come to church.
"After the prayers on Sunday and Tuesday, they used to spread false information about Hinduism to persuade people to embrace Christianity," the lawyer said. "In addition, the accused handed out banned medications and drugs to visitors and under their effect influenced them to become Christians."
'State-sponsored Violence'
On Sunday, Sept. 16, police in Jaunpur stopped people from attending a church service in Bhulandih, tweeted the Religious Liberty Commission of the Evangelical Fellowship of India.
"Fanatic groups disrupted worship services & shouted anti-Christian slogans even in Churches in many places in Jaunpur, some reportedly even in the presence of the police," the commission tweeted. In another tweet, it said another pastor had been arrested on Friday, Sept. 14.
According to religious freedom group ADF India, Uttar Pradesh experienced the highest number of violent attacks against Christians in any state—26— in the first half of 2018.
A volunteer who helps victims of such violence told World Watch Monitor in July: "Violent attacks which the Christian minorities had been experiencing in Uttar Pradesh are all part of the state machinery; it is state-sponsored violence. The attackers are well aware that Christians in rural areas especially can be easily targeted."
'Rise of Vigilantism'
Meanwhile a new United Nations report says the ruling BJP party, under current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "has been linked to incidents of violence against members of Dalit, Muslim, tribal and Christian communities", reports UCAN.
The report on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, submitted by the U.N.'s special rapporteur on human rights, Tendayi Achiume, found evidence of the "use of inflammatory remarks by BJP leaders against minority groups" and the "rise of vigilantism targeting Muslims and Dalits".
"You take a newspaper or watch news on television. Whenever [BJP] leaders speak, they speak openly against those groups who are already suffering and are never interested in defending them," said Christian leader A.C. Michael in the report. "There were even calls to banish Christians and Muslims to other countries, instigating violence against these people," he added.
India is 11th on the 2018 Open Doors World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to live as a Christian.
According to the 2011 census, nearly 80 percent of India's population is Hindu, with Islam the second largest religion (14 percent) and the remaining 6 percent belonging to other religions such as Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism or Jainism.

DOTW secures IT systems
Having opened up its Electronic Travel Manual 2000 to its franchise operators, Destinations of the World Travel & Tourism has employed Intertec Systems to tighten up its IT security.
Earlier this year, Destinations of the World Travel & Tourism (DOTW) decided to move its enquiry system online to allow its franchise operators to access DOTW's Electronic Travel Manual 2000 (ETM 2000) application directly or over the internet. To ensure that it's systems remained secure, the organisation carried out an extensive IT security audit and deployed a number of solutions.
"Beforehand, we did not have any security threats because we were not open. But by opening up the systems we are opening ourselves up to attack and need to protect ourselves. Therefore we needed to audit the systems," explains Pavithran Kandathil, systems analyst at DOTW.
Intertec Systems' Secure IT Professional Services (SIPS) division carried out the audit. From the results of the vulnerability test, the SIPS team worked with DOTW's IT department to create a workable IT security blueprint. The objective was clear — only traffic from DOTW's franchises would be allowed into the system and only data from the Dubai office would be allowed to leave.
The first step to achieving this was to upload all of the necessary security patches from Microsoft for DOTW's Windows 2000 and SQL server and harden the operating system. These patches are now updated on a regular basis and SIPS sends them to the wholesale travel agents as soon as they are made public. In addition, SIPS deployed antivirus and filtering software from Trend Micro and a PIX firewall from Cisco.
"We had to customise the firewall and configure it to our business requirements. To do this we worked with them [SIPS] to create these customisations and map it to our requirements," explains Kandathil.
To ensure that these security technologies continue to work and are updated on a regular basis, DOTW signed a maintenance agreement with Intertec. "We have essentially outsourced the management of our security. Any time there is a new exploit or anything they send us a fax or they come and install it. We are all developers, not security people," comments Kandathil.

Middlebury Radio Speaks Volumes
September 27, 2017
The first WRMC show is still memorable. On a chilly September morning, my two co-deejays and I shook ourselves out of our beds, trekked to Proctor , and climbed to the WRMC studio. Excitement kept our heads up as the bell tower struck 4 AM in the morning. We slipped our headphones on our heads, opened our playlist, and became radio rebels, beaming out to all three of our listeners in the Greater Champlain Valley.
Since 1949, WRMC has offered the same excitement to generations of Middlebury College students. Outside of the broadcast booth, events such as Sepomana , the Grooveyard, and S.O.S Fest give the radio station a unique and powerful influence on the live music scene on campus. In order to better understand the structure and misconceptions surrounding WRMC, the Middlebury Campus sat down with the station's general manager Meghan Daly. The following interview has been edited for clarity.
Middlebury Campus [MC]: What would you say is WRMC's role on campus?
Meg Daly [MD]: I think WRMC plays a very interesting role on Campus, because it's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, student org on campus. We often have about 150 DJs per semester, but not so many people will show up to every weekly meeting. So I think it's hard to say what WRMC's role is because it kind of flies under the radar despite being such a huge org and broadcasting to the entire Champlain Valley. Another part of our role on campus is providing concerts for people. That's our most visible role.
MC: With events like Sepomana, Grooveyard, and S.O.S fest, WRMC definitely does feel like one of if not the source for live music here on campus. With that kind of responsibility, do you think WRMC does a good job inviting people that appeal to a broad cross section for the community?
MD: That's another good question. We do want to find acts that will appeal to everyone, but at the same time we want to attract acts that normally wouldn't come to Vermont. For example, I couldn't see an act like Noname coming otherwise, because there is not a huge hip-hop scene in Vermont. We've booked artists who've responded to our emails asking 'where is Vermont?' As much as we want to appeal to everyone, there is an intentionality to be bringing artists who are underrepresented on this campus. An act like Noname was the perfect balance of both.
I think sometimes WRMC has a reputation of bringing super obscure artists, but that's never the intention. We bring them because we think it will be a really good show, and we're limited by budget too.
MC: Can you talk more about the funding you get for these events?
MD: All of our funding for programming will come through the finance committee. Any profit we do manage to make off of sales will go into are gift accounts to use for things like snacks for a gen board meeting. Suffice it to say that we don't get as much funding as MCAB, so that's why they will usually put on bigger concerts than we do. But we just kind of find an artist we like and reach out to their booking agent with dates. I've made [the requests] very personal in the past if it's an artist that I feel very happy about. Often times we'll get a response like 'all right, they can come for $10,000' and we reply that we have maybe a thousand. And they'll do that. So they highball us quite a lot. But I'm definitely proud for the acts WRMC has brought in the past. I think there have been some pretty special shows in the mix.
MC: When seeing the executive board of WRMC for the first time, I think many people carry the assumption that most if not all of you are culturally tied to the Mill. In your words, what kind of culture do you think WRMC perpetuates for itself?
MD: So… I ran for general manager actively trying to work against that. I'm not part of the Mill, even if I guess I look like it. But, I think two of our board members live there and others have in the past, so it's not an unfair assumption at all. The board is largely part of this White hipster culture which often congregates in the Mill, at least in years past. My policy has been that we're not going to have any events in the Mill because I want to break that relationship between the two because I think it does a disservice to both organizations. People who might want to be part of WRMC but dislike the Mill might be scared off by that and vice versa. I think they should be two very distinct organizations. I don't know when they got so fused together. It's not a relationship that I want to encourage. But that's the general impression of WRMC on campus and we're still trying to figure out how to dispel that notion and not make people feel WRMC is the most pretentious thing ever, especially because there are times in the past where it has been. It's a tricky thing figuring out the relationship between WRMC and the Mill and convincing people that they are two different things.
But the flip side of that is that when anyone brings a counter cultural artist, people will just call that pretentious. Sometimes it is trying to fill an alternative niche on campus, because sometimes that is necessary. People might want to see something different.
MC: What is it about these two orgs that creates such a feedback loop between them?
MD: I'm not too sure what the Mill's purpose is, but I think it focuses on people with alternative tastes. A lot of people in WRMC have similar tastes for the alternatives. And in the past, our bigger events have been at the Mill so the first time people were introduced to WRMC was at the Mill. A lot of the board has historically been part of the Mill. It makes sense that a lot of people in an art's house would like music, so it's natural. But I don't think the conflation serves either.
MC: How does WRMC go about finding a balance between its alternative tastes and DJ's who might want a more mainstream style program?
MD: Even though WRMC does tend to gear towards the alternative, we've always had a lot of pop shows. This year we've tried to be intentional about disregarding hierarchies of taste and saying no genre is inherently better than any other unless it's blatantly really offensive. But we've always had really diverse programming. For example some people are going to start live casting Middlebury Union football games for us. It's a misrepresentation of WRMC to say that it's only the alternative, but that is its reputation. I hope that people don't think they have to seek out a really obscure genre for a good show. Often the best shows just have a cool concept.
MC: When you have an org whose leadership is part of very select groups, does that feed into the perpetuation of its culture and who gets the best times?
On our application, questions of whether you know anyone on the board are to help us remember if someone was really excited about the radio or music in general. It's helpful in that respect, but I can also see why people might think 'oh if I don't know someone on the exec board, what does that mean for me and my show?'
MC: What do you want people to associate WRMC with?
MD: It's easier to say what I don't want them to associate us with: pretentious hipster culture. I'm not trying to shirk responsibility for that since WRMC has perpetuated that in the past and probably still perpetuating in ways I'm not aware of and for that I'm sorry and I'm working hard to try not to. I don't want people to look at radio as something for the hipster weird kids. I want it to be for everyone. I selfishly want people to love radio. I think a big thing is trying to make the music scene at Middlebury more cohesive because you have the Gamut Room crowd or the WRMC crowd and the acapella crowd. All of us are equally invested in the music scene so I think trying to partner and collaborate with them will hopefully be helpful.
MC: What does inclusivity in radio look like?
I think a huge part of it is making WRMC a comfortable space that they can be in without worrying if they're cool enough. Also there's a mission statement of no racism, sexism, queer phobia, and just not being a bad person. There have been instances in the past where offensive things were said and we've had to talk with people about why it's not ok. It's definitely a topic that we'll be exploring a lot this year. As a general manager I want to be as directly engaged with the question as possible.
MC: Where is WRMC going?
MD: As far as where things are going, I kind of want to flip that back on the DJs because I'm only one person and the board is only 10 people and it's really up to the DJs to say if they want to engage with that or not and I'm not faulting people who don't. But the executive board can only do so much to shift the culture and it has to be a collaborative effort between everyone.
I just hope WRMC feels like a fun thing for people to do and that people are interested in it and curious about it. In the past it seems like WRMC could be an unhealthy environment for the amount of time people put in or unhealthy attitudes about music or coolness, but this year I want it to feel like place people are happy to be involved in and they don't force themselves into it. Obviously, my dream as someone who is absolutely in love with radio is that other people will absolutely fall in love with radio, but that's my selfish dream and that's not what needs to happen. I just want people to have a good time and treat each other well and get something out of it. We're not trying to take over the world. We just want it to serve the people well. It's something for the 150-200 DJs who feel good spending a few hours a week doing this thing.

I often walk to Roselyn's place, filled with magnificent quilts: whimsical, bold, classic and free. The quilts she has made are of extraordinary quality. In design, in color. from one centimeter narrow pieces sown together to blocks of color. She also has done a quilt with grandmothers on motorcycles, quilts with an almost native American feel. She is a wonderful person, reads the New Yorker, loves Jazz, is kind and warm. Her home is cozy and warm, pleasant with books and CD's. Her son and grandchildren live nearby. They shop for groceries together since the nearest supermarket is 24 miles away. She is loyal to whom she is and that is wonderful!
My chip is full, so no pictures of the quilts for now....

On Tuesday, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) released a report on the impact of EEA migration to the UK, along with their recommendations for a post-Brexit immigration policy.
The report has garnered varied responses. The acting general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing said its recommendation that EEA citizens do not receive preferential treatment after Brexit is a "missed opportunity", but also said the report " puts paid to the damaging misbelief that migrant workers are a drain on health and care services".
The chief executive of the Royal College of Architects said the recommended policies would have "profound implications" for the sector, and added: "It is disappointing that the committee has recommended introducing a £1,000 immigration skills charge to employ EU nationals and that it has not moved on the onerous salary threshold. Both of these measures will hit smaller practices the hardest".
- Read more: EU migrants should not receive preferential treatment, says migration report
- Read more: EU net migration to the UK has fallen to its lowest level since 2012
The report also dismissed the idea of a scheme for lower-skilled workers, with the exception of agricultural workers. The director of Focus on Labour Exploitation warned: "Workers with visas tied to a single employer are unable to defend themselves if they are paid less than promised or if they are expected to work longer hours and in worse conditions than initially agreed… There is a real danger that we could see a sharp rise in exploitation on British farms next year".
The Federation of Small Business called it "deeply concerning", saying small businesses would be hit hardest by administrative costs.
But what did the report actually say, and what recommendations did it make?
We pick out some of the most important points below.
The impact of migration is small
Watch: Julia Hartley-Brewer discusses the MAC report
ONS data shows that 226,000 EU citizens came to the UK in the year ending March 2018. This was lower than levels of immigration to the UK in 2015 and 2016, but similar to 2014 and 2017.
"While we do think that EEA migration has had impacts, many of them seem to be small in magnitude when set against other changes," says the report.
It adds that the fall in value of the pound after the Brexit referendum "probably" raised prices by 1.7%, having a "larger impact than the effect on wages and employment opportunities of residents from all the EEA migration since 2004".
"The small overall impacts mean that EEA migration as a whole has had neither the large negative effects claimed by some nor the clear benefits claimed by others," it says.
Later in the report, it says the impact on wages is small: "Migrants had only a modest impact on average wages… migrants likely modestly increased earnings at the top of the wage distribution while reducing them at the bottom end."
It uses Canada as an example of a good migration system
"Canada has an open, welcoming approach to migration but no free movement agreement with any other country. The problem with free movement is that it leaves migration to the UK solely up to migrants and UK residents have no control over the level and mix of migration."
Higher-skilled workers should be prioritised
"Our recommendation is that there should be a less restrictive regime for higher-skilled workers than for lower-skilled workers in a system where there is no preference for EEA over non-EEA workers," says the report.
Migration caps should be abolished
The Tier 2 scheme for highly-skilled workers has an annual cap of 20,700.
Doctors and nurses were removed from the cap in June, but the MAC recommends abolishing it completely.
"It creates uncertainty among employers and it makes little sense for a migrant to be perceived as of value one day and not the next which is what inevitably happens when the cap binds," the report says.
"We also recommend that the scheme be extended to workers in medium-skilled jobs recognising that harmful skills shortages might otherwise occur. We do not recommend any changes to the existing salary thresholds [the current minimum salary requirement is £30,000] – they seem appropriate to ensure that migrants are not putting downward pressure on average earnings."
The report also recommends making it easier for Tier 2 workers to be able to change jobs.
No scheme for lower-skilled workers - except in agriculture

"For lower-skilled workers, we do not see the need for a work-related scheme with the possible exception of a seasonal agricultural workers scheme; as that labour market is totally distinct from the labour market for resident workers."
Lower-skilled workers would still be able to access the UK through family migration or the "existing youth mobility scheme".
Wages in Eastern Europe are catching up with the UK
"Migration from Eastern Europe to the UK is primarily driven by differences in per capita income but these differences are narrowing," says the report.
Data shows wages in new member states like Poland, Romania and Bulgaria are catching up with the UK, which "is likely to continue reducing the attraction of working in the UK", says the MAC.
The UK economy is growing slowly
"Following the Brexit referendum in June 2016, UK growth has fallen from being one of the fastest in the Group of 7 (G7) nations to one of the slowest, suggesting there may be greater economic opportunities for New Member State migrants in other parts of the EU," says the report.
In 2017, the UK's economy fell to its lowest growth rate since 2012, as quarterly growth fell to 0.4%.
The effect on population is not as dramatic as it sounds
"The main effect of EEA migration has been an increase in population. Net migration, both EEA and non-EEA, of 250,000 a year means adding a city of the size of Birmingham to the UK population every four years," says the report.
"This sounds dramatic, but another way of imagining that same statistic is to picture a street with 100 people living in it. In 5 years' time, the current levels of net migration mean that street will have 102 people living in it, this sounds less dramatic."

This is my first time trying out Wild Card. I've had this cartridge for awhile but was somewhat puzzled by figuring out the sizing, so I never used it. This my first time trying to make an envelope with the cricut too and it is SO pretty with it's scalloped edge! I cut the envelope liner out also, and it looks very cool with big polka dots! The heart with the arrow and the sentiment inside are also in the Wild Card handbook, although on other pages.
Envelope with scallop edge and scallop circle card:
Inside sentiment:
Wild Card-all cuts
Paper- prints are from DCWV All Seasons stack, solid red CTMH
This cartridge is a little tricky on the sizing and figuring out what pieces go where. I cut the envelope first, using fit to page, which gave me a 5 inch size, so that's what I used for the card and all it's parts.
I'm going to link this to the Celebrate the Occasion valentine challenge this week.

Medicaid is a state-administered health insurance program for low-income families and children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with disabilities and, in some states, other adults. The federal government provides a portion of the funding for Medicaid and sets guidelines for the program. States also have choices in how they design their program, so Medicaid varies state by state and may have a different name in your state (e.g., Healthy Families, Tenncare, MediCal, etc.).
Being enrolled in Medicaid satisfies the "mandate" that you have health insurance.
Medicaid Expansion
States' Medicaid eligibility categories vary according to the populations they choose to cover, although the federal government also has certain minimum requirements. In 2014, states will also have the option to expand their Medicaid programs to cover nonelderly, non-pregnant adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level ($32,499 for a family of four) who are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid or enrolled in or eligible for Medicare.
In states that choose to expand their Medicaid program, they may provide a different type or amount of benefit, called the benchmark or benchmark equivalent package, so it is important to know what your benefits are.
How Medicaid Works after January 1, 2014
Beginning on January 1, 2014, you may be eligible for Medicaid in two different ways. First, you may be "traditionally" eligible. Second, you may be "newly eligible" if your state implements the Medicaid expansion. Whether you are traditionally or newly eligible for Medicaid is an important distinction because it may determine the kind of benefit package for which you are eligible.
The ACA expanded Medicaid eligibility to nonelderly, non-pregnant adults with income at or below 138% of the federal poverty level (FPL) ($32,499 for a family of four) who are not otherwise eligible for a mandatory Medicaid eligibility category or enrolled in or eligible for Medicare. The U. S. Supreme Court subsequently made this mandatory Medicaid expansion optional. This means that states have the option to choose whether to expand Medicaid to individuals earning up to 138% FPL.
If your state chooses to expand Medicaid up to 138% FPL and you become eligible for Medicaid under this expansion, you are considered to be "newly eligible" for Medicaid. If you were already eligible for Medicaid in your state (even if you were not already enrolled), you are considered to be "traditionally eligible" for Medicaid. See Medicaid Expansion map.
If you are already traditionally eligible for Medicaid, you will likely remain so come January 1, 2014. Because some states are changing their Medicaid eligibility requirements in anticipation of 2014, however, it is a good idea to speak with someone in your state's Medicaid department just to confirm that you will maintain your traditional Medicaid eligibility come January 1, 2014.
To find out if you will be newly eligible for Medicaid come January 1, 2014, you can use a subsidy calculator .
Although individuals both traditionally and newly eligible for Medicaid will have access to items and services covered as part of the essential health benefit package, the benefit package offered as part of a state's Medicaid expansion does NOT have to mirror its traditional Medicaid benefit package. Instead, a state can choose to use a "Medicaid benchmark" or "benchmark equivalent" plan for its expansion population (this is different than the benchmark plan described on the EHB page). If it does, the Medicaid expansion population may get a benefit package that is less robust than the state's traditional Medicaid benefit package. This may impact the availability and types of services offered to meet your bleeding disorder needs.
If you think that you may be newly eligible for Medicaid beginning on January 1, 2014, you should check with your state's Medicaid department to find out whether it will offer the traditional Medicaid benefit package to its expansion population, or a benchmark or benchmark equivalent package instead.
Contact your state's Medicaid department to find out if your state intends to expand Medicaid in 2014. If it does, ask for assistance in determining whether you will be eligible for Medicaid under the expansion.
Resource: Do I qualify for Medicaid?
If you will be eligible for Medicaid under the expansion in 2014, ask someone in your state's Medicaid department how you can enroll and when you can do that. In 2014, there will be a variety of "helpers" (called Navigators) available to assist individuals in determining whether they are eligible for Medicaid, and also helping them apply for Medicaid.
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
CHIP is another insurance program jointly funded by state and federal governments. CHIP provides health coverage to low-income children and, in some states, pregnant women in families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase private health insurance coverage.
States have the option of administering CHIP through their Medicaid programs or through a separate program (or a combination of both). States have one of three choices related to CHIP, each state can choose to:
- Operate CHIP as an extension of the Medicaid program to income thresholds higher than those eligible for Medicaid, so the services and benefits are the same for the two programs or
- Operate CHIP is a separate program, with a different set of benefits or requirements than Medicaid or
- Operate CHIP as a combination of an extension and a stand-alone program.

Kaeth (or kaethae), also known as coffee, was a brewed beverage made from ground beans. Considered a rare delicacy in areas north of Calimshan, kaeth was relatively common in more southerly lands, as well as in larger cities such as Athkatla, Waterdeep, and Westgate.[4][5]
Kaeth was primarily produced in Maztica, the Anauroch desert, and areas to the south and east of Durpar.[5] Around 1367 DR, it was claimed that coffee grew only in the Shining Lands of Durpar, Estagund, and Var the Golden, and coffee was the Shining Lands' most profitable export.[6] However, coffee sold in Halruaa was said to come from Ulgarth, the land beyond Durpar, and it was said Ulgarth was where the only true coffee was grown.[7][note 1]
Kaeth beans were harvested from short trees in mountainous areas, then sun-dried on rocks. When dried, the beans would be stuffed into cloth sacks, then the sacks would be stacked inside wooden crates for ease of transport.[5] The flat, sunny plains of the Shining Lands were also suitable for growing coffee and other crops.[8]
Previously enjoyed only in southeast Faerûn, Durpari traders began large-scale export of Durpar-grown coffee around 1367 DR. Drinking coffee was just becoming popular in wider Faerûn at the time.[9] Coffee was regularly exported from the Shining Lands by 1373 DR.[10]
In the 15th century DR, kaeth trade was considered more popular and profitable than tea trade.[11]
Kaeth beans originating in Maztica were typically red-brown and had a powdery quality. These were shipped across the sea, to Baldur's Gate, and typically distributed from there to Tashalar and Calimshan.[2][5]
Anauran beans were smaller, harder, and so dark brown that they looked almost black. The nomadic Bedine people who cultivated the beans referred to kaeth as qahwa.[5][12]
After the return of Thultanthar, the Bedine consumed most of the supply themselves. As a result, the Anauran beans were extremely uncommon outside of their native region.[12][5] However, thanks to the machinations of the D'tarig, a few merchants from Zhentil Keep were able to smuggle Anauran beams to Hillsfar and Sembia. Though most considered Zhentilar a unreliable source to get kaeth beans, Sembian traders had a high demand for Anauran kaeth in the 15th century DR.[12]
The kaeth beans from beyond Durpar were larger, had a pronounced cleft or depressed line running their length, and were brown with a bluish hue.[12][5] This variant was often referred to as Thondur's, named after the trader Thondur, who for a while had a monopoly on the kaeth trade reaching Calimshan, Tashalar, and the Vilhon Reach. This bean type was the most common in lands to the south.[5]
In the 15th century DR, Thondur's became cheaper thanks to the shattering of Thondur's monopoly.[12]
On the plane of Bytopia, popular kaeth variants included "Krigala Supreme" from the Beastlands, "Mountain Majesty" from Mount Celestia, as well as "Devotion" and "Purity" from Elysium.[13]
Regional customsEdit
Brewed kaeth was the most popular form of consumption in Calimshan, the Tashalar, the Heartlands, and the North. In some places, kaeth was mixed with medicines or mint leaves sprinkled over the surface, prepared by stewing the beans in a pot over a fire or a hearth.[note 2] Some people also liked to chew beans while traveling or eat them roasted.[11]
In Calimshan and Tashalar, kaeth was mostly consumed pure, although sometimes with the addition of powdered roots, nuts, or ginger. In Sembia and Chessenta, the preferred method of consumption involved mixing kaeth with chocolate or alcohol.[11][5]
In areas to the north, kaeth was mostly served in cider mugs. In southern lands, it was more commonly served in small, flared bowls known as "kavvar".[5]
Bad coffee was described by using a handy repertory of oaths in northern lands, while in the South it was called ortulag (pronounced: /ˈɔːrtʌlɑːg/ OR-tu-lag), a word derived from a defunct dialect meaning "warmed-over chamber pot rinse."[11]
- ↑ The Shining South (1993) contradicts itself several times on whether coffee comes from Durpar or Ulgarth. Since the sourcebook is introduced by a Halruaan, and all Ulgarth's produce comes through Durpar, the discrepancy is easily explained as an in-universe error, but not easily resolved.
- ↑ According to Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms, black coffee in the Realms is stronger than its real-world counterpart because of the preparation method. (page 94).

Ertin featured in Biomedical Computation Review
Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Emre Ertin at The Ohio State University was recently featured in the Biomedical Computation Review for his work in mobile health.
In the article, Ertin and Ohio State cardiologist William Abraham, MD, discuss their device, EasySense, designed to help effectively treat congestive heart failure - an illness affecting almost 6 million Americans.
Abraham said the standard method of managing congestive heart failure is not enough. Patients monitor their own symptoms and body weight, but rarely receive treatment until a significant amount of fluid has accumulated in their lungs and it's already too late. Relapses are common, and readmission rates are higher than for any other cause of medical hospitalization.
EasySense could help change that, Ertin said. The device, roughly the size of a hockey puck, emits pulses of ultra-wideband radio waves and listens to the echoes created as they bounce off various bodily tissues.
Ertin leads the development of Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge's (MD2K) custom-built sensors, which allow EasySense to provide nearly EKG-quality heartbeat detection—and to gauge the fluid content of the lungs.
"Abraham recently concluded a 20-person pilot study that successfully demonstrated the device could gather useful data in a hospital setting. He and his collaborators are now beginning a 75-person study in which participants will take the sensors home with them," the publication reported. "By analyzing the data provided by EasySense, along with the output from other wearables that record parameters such as respiration and oxygen saturation, (Ertin) hopes to determine which signals are most predictive of relapse and rehospitalization. A third and final study will then use that information to make treatment changes 'to see whether or not we can actually keep patients out of the hospital.'"
The goal of their research at Ohio State is to send alerts and notifications directly to patients and their doctors before health issues get out of hand. Such notifications might ask the patient to reduce salt intake or prescribe an extra dose of diuretics when fluid levels begin to rise. As the data set grows, patterns may emerge to allow for tailored interventions on an individual basis.
Having already revolutionized fields ranging from communications to finance, mobile technology and data science are now poised to do the same for healthcare, the journal reports. Thanks to the proliferation of wearable biosensors capable of recording everything from physical activity to blood oxygen levels—and the increasingly sophisticated algorithms used to sift through the mounting pile of data—researchers are finding novel ways of diagnosing illnesses, predicting disease risk, and promoting healthier lifestyles.
