A person who has an ardent or refined interest in food; a gourmet.
Although the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, foodies differ from gourmets in that gourmets are epicures of refined taste, whereas foodies are amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and news.
My name is Nic Harmston and for as long as I can remember, the kitchen has been seducing me. Its siren sound seems to have sucked me in for good and it has become harder to deny the one truth of my life.
I… am in love with food.
Now that that's off my chest let me tell you a little about my life. Growing up, I had two loving parents, each of whom had their own culinary quirks and tastes. My mother had a southern/soul food inclination whereas my father was the second coming of Grizzly Adams. Big beard and an affection for wild game paired with garden grown greens were his calling card.
And then there was me, and I wanted to try everything. Food, I was once told, is a universal world currency – and the great thing is that cuisine changes substantially everywhere you travel! If I couldn't travel the world (8th grade problems!) then damnit I was going to research an authentic meal and try my hand at it.
As you can imagine, there have been many many failures in this quest, but I have no regrets. Each time I learned a new skill, or acquired a new taste for something that was once foreign to me. I always took something away from those challenges and think that's the most important thing for anyone learning to cook.
From about 8th grade on, cooking the family meals multiple nights a week became my creative outlet. It was the blend of my parents passed down personalities no doubt. My father, an artist (www.harmstonarts.com) and my mother, the curious intellect.
Food has always been a brilliant combination of the two sides of the brain for me. My left side demands to know the science behind cooking processes, and the right side inspires passion for putting elements together that become an edible work of art.
Through this blog I hope to inspire the passion for cooking and eating for others out there who may feel the same way. With a long list of tried and true recipes, an endless stack of cookbooks from my culinary idols, and a passion for seeking out authentic recipes from all over the world, I am ready share great eats.

'Unrelenting' cyber threats rising, warns government
Industries targeted. Photo: ACSC
Cyber threats are on the rise and becoming more difficult to defend, with businesses increasingly targeted by cyber criminals, an alarming new report from the nation's top security brass warns.
The inaugural Australian Cyber Security Centre report – collated by the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, the Defence Intelligence Organisation, the Australian Crime Commission, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Australia and the Australian Signals Directorate – tips the cost of these rising threats at more than $1 billion annually and rising.
Cyber attacks reported to the ASD leapt from 313 in 2011 to 1131 in 2014, while CERT responded to 11,073 threats to businesses in 2014.
The agencies conceded there were "gaps in our understanding of the extent and nature of malicious activity", particularly in the private sector.
Clive Lines, Australian Cyber Security Centre co-ordinator, said the report demonstrated that the cyber threat to Australian organisations were "undeniable, unrelenting" and continuing to grow.
The five sectors most at risk of cyber attack were energy, banking, communications, defence and transport.
The number, type and sophistication of cyber threats was increasing in Australia, making detection and response more difficult, the report said.
Confirmed compromises against Australian government systems have fallen since 2012, however.
The report warned of worrying trends including the rise of "cybercrime-as-a-service", where those inexperienced in the dark arts of the web could simply hire others to commit a cyber crime for them.
It detailed examples of how widely reported vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed and Shellshock had impacted a range of systems in Australia.
One alleged offender was charged with several counts of attempted unauthorised access to 12 Australian servers, after attempting to access sensitive data more than 360 times via the Heartbleed vulnerability.
The report warned complacency and compromise were options that "Australia cannot afford", with the consequences of inadequate cyber security potentially including financial loss, reputational damage, intellectual property theft and disruption to business.
"Organisations must move now to implement cyber security measures to make Australia a harder target, increase the confidence of Australians when they are online, and maximise the benefits of the internet for Australian organisations," it said.

It seems a lot and almost nothing has changed since I last logged into Neopets. Neopets is no longer owned by Viacom and is now owned by Jumpstart the educational game company. The site went through a server transition and a lot of things work, lag, don't work, or are scrapped. Key Quest is gone too but while most the site is laggy having KQ come back wouldn't be great.
It also seems like a lot of people have abandoned ship and so the boards aren't as busy and there isn't much going on.

To celebrate today's graduation of the medical students, we're looking at a couple of international medics who graduated one hundred years ago and went on to be very successful in their field.
Isabella Henrietta Younger continued the burgeoning tradition of women studying medicine at the University of Glasgow when she started her studies here in 1911. Having already taken some subjects in her home of Melbourne, Australia, Isabella was exempt from taking those exams in Glasgow. She excelled in her studies here and won prizes in Practical Physiology, Anatomy and Embryology.
After graduating Isabella became notable in the field of women's and children's health, perhaps owing to her experiences working in deprived areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow. On returning to Melbourne she wrote 'Feeding the Child – All Ages' and 'The Happy Mother and Child'. She became an important figure in the state of Victoria, becoming a benefactor and central figure in many of its hospitals.
Another international student who found success before and after graduation was Lawrence Sebastian Morgan. Born in Grenada he followed his brother, Hyacinth Bernard Wenceslaus Morgan, in the study of medicine at the University of Glasgow. Lawrence did well, winning prizes in Midwifery and Insanity. Once he graduated in 1914 he served in the Royal Medical Corps before joining the Colonial Service in Grenada. He rose to prominence there, becoming Chief Medical Officer, Medical Officer of Prisons and Principal Medical Officer of Asylum and Quarantine Stations.

It's the end of the month so it's time to celebrate this month's blogger crush... read more
We can't wait for you to get to know our October Blogger Crush better as she really is the queen of a cosy home, so step forward Sara from Sara And Catherine's Tales.
Sara is originally from Italy but will admit that since living here she now sees herself as a true Londoner, sharing top tips with her followers about the best places to go. Sara shares her beautiful London home with her husband and 2 gorgeous children; Catherine & Harvey. Her use of colour is something that we can all appreciate with every room of her home carefully considered from furniture down to the accessories. You can see more of her home in her article Autumn Chic and How To Turn Your Rented Home Into A Dream Place.
Photography is her passion and she's really very good at it. We can't help swooning over her Instagram on a daily basis. But enough from us, let's hear from the lady herself.
I started blogging in December 2014. I will always remember that day: I was very excited to tell my husband as I previously opened a fashion blog just to close it shortly after. I didn't want to disappoint him as he was so supportive and I felt like I let him down when I stopped blogging the first time around. The fact is that, despite loving fashion, that niche wasn't for me.
After becoming a mom I really felt the need to have something for myself; an outlet to showcase all my passions. I'm very sociable, I love networking and especially I love photography, I always have: I inherited this passion from my grandfather and I'm happy that we have something that connects us so strongly. For all of these reasons a blog seemed the right way to go. At the beginning my pictures were very average but, with a lot of practice (and by finally ditching my phone) I improved and I'm constantly trying to make my content more visually captivating.
Since starting my "blogger journey" the passion and dedication I've put into this hobby/job has grown exponentially. I love to be out there, trying to inspire people and help them with some little tips or by sharing my true feelings. Some of my posts are very personal and I like that: it makes others see that, behind pretty pictures, we live a very normal life and, often, it is hard to juggle everything.
Blogging is my daily pleasure; I think it makes me a better person really. Also because of it, I had the chance to meet so many inspiring people and do amazing things. It is hard work but, for me, it is so worth it. Every day I look forward to when the kids are both in bed so I can sit with a cuppa and get some work done; it is one of my favourite moments of the day.
Everything I like and that I find worthy to share. As I'm quite an anxious person I try to focus on positivity and on "the pretty side of life".
I enjoy sharing anything that makes me feel good: a cosy interior, a pretty café that we just visited, a yummy recipe etc etc.
My top favourite at the moment is Lauren from Hunter and Heels: her content is aesthetically perfect, so bright and crispy and, being a visual person, I love to scroll down her pictures as much as I enjoy reading her stories. Another blogger crush is Laura Ann from The Pretty Diary: we share the love for flowers and I really enjoy reading what she and her wee boys are up to. And last but not least: Sam from Dove Cottage, her house is such a dream and I always get inspired by her pictures.
I'm literally obsessed with the Paloma large candlestick bases, which I have paired with two Fenn amethyst shades. They perfectly match my armchairs and my gorgeous Wisteria Grape embroidered cushions. I'm so pleased with this little corner in my living room, it has such a cosy vibe and makes me want to curl in the chair every evening to do some work. I'm also a huge fan of the Wisteria duck egg items which I have in my bedroom: the beautiful frames and the cushions give the room a calm and soothing feeling, which I love.
Thanks Sara it's been great getting to know you better. Make sure you check out her blog and don't forget to follow her on Instagram. Who do you think should be our next blogger crush? Let us know below or on Twitter @LauraAshleyUK

Mortgage Fantasy Versus Reality

- Is FHASecure For Borrowers With Great Credit?
- White House: FHA Saves 225,000 Homeowners From Foreclosure
- HUD Says FHA Mortgages Booming, FHASecure Not So Much
- Not The Whole Story
- HUD Sec. Jackson — He Will Be Missed….
Story Tools
The latest HUD stats show that the FHA program is off to the best start since August 2003. At the rate things are going the FHA could receive 1.8 million loan applications this year.
During the first 15 days of February, HUD endorsed 38,598 FHA mortgages. This total includes 15,652 purchase money mortgages, 17,736 refinanced transactions and 5,210 reverse mortgages. At this rate more than 900,000 loans could be backed under the FHA program this year.
Alas, not all borrowers will be so lucky. Delinquent conventional borrowers — the folks HUD was supposed to save from foreclosure and bankruptcy with the FHASecure program — continued to be shunned.
In the first half of February HUD refinanced just 212 delinquent conventional borrowers. This number is actually down from the last half of January when 241 lucky borrowers were saved from the sheriff.
Meanwhile, a news release from HUD says:
"WASHINGTON – U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson today announced that HUD's FHASecure product has helped 100,000 homeowners refinance their mortgages and avoid foreclosure. Since September 2007, FHASecure has enabled tens of thousands of families – who are current on their home loans or past due because their teaser rates reset – to close on loans refinanced through HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which is backed by the full faith and credit of the government."
The release quotes HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson as saying that, "FHASecure has helped more than 100,000 families stay in their homes. Homeowners are cutting their monthly mortgage payments by an average of $400 a month compared to their exotic subprime loans. They no longer have anxiety about finding foreclosure notices in their mailboxes, thanks to the safe mortgage alternative that FHASecure offers."
In 1913 the government passed a law which forbid the spending of money for "publicity agents" without specific congressional approval. The worry was that the power and money of government would be used to manipulate public opinion with false and distorted information. (See 38, Part 1, U.S. Stat. 212)
Nah, couldn't happen….

Academy voters are going to have their work cut out for them this year in the best foreign-language film category. Not only has there been a record number of submissions — 71 countries offered movies, up from 63 last year — but that field, which must be narrowed to five by January, is both strong and varied in style and subject matter.
In the past couple of years, many of the most notable films submitted by countries' national academies or selection committees, including the 2011 winner, Denmark's "In a Better World," have been outward-looking and addressed big global themes, often examining relationships between and across cultures. This year, in contrast, the trend seems to be in the opposite direction, toward intimate, close-in works that focus on families, couples and other small groups.
That is especially the case with submissions from Europe, which has dominated the foreign-language award. Austria has submitted Michael Haneke's "Amour," a portrait of a loving Parisian couple in their 80s that was the winner of the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival this spring. France has submitted "The Intouchables," a character study focusing on the relationship between a rich quadriplegic and his African caretaker, while Switzerland has sent Ursula Meier's "Sister," about a boy trying to keep his family afloat by working as a thief at a ski resort, and Belgium chose Joachim Lafosse's "Our Children," a psychodrama about a woman who kills her four children.
That inward-looking tendency is not limited to French-speaking Europe. Norway's submission is "Kon-Tiki," an adventure film about the explorer Thor Heyerdahl and his 1947 expedition across the Pacific, with much of the action occurring on a balsa raft where the six crew members are trying to get along with one another. Italy too has offered a film with men in confined spaces: the Taviani brothers' "Caesar Must Die," about convicted murderers performing Shakespeare in their maximum-security prison.
In addition, Romania has chosen Cristian Mungiu's "Beyond the Hills," an exorcism drama that is set in an Orthodox monastery and was first shown at Cannes, where it won the best screenplay and best actress awards. Israel's submission, Rama Burshtein's "Fill the Void," is another film set in a closed religious community, the ultraconservative Haredim of Tel Aviv, that could contend.
If there is a front-runner, it is probably Mr. Haneke's "Amour," which features strong performances by two icons of the French New Wave, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva. But "The Intouchables" also appears to be a strong contender: it has become the highest-grossing film ever made in a language other than English, with a worldwide box office take (roughly $410 million) about three times that of "The Artist," the French winner of five Oscars last year, including best picture.
Even so, "The Intouchables" is something of a gamble for France, the second year in a row that the French have opted for a medical comedy-drama. Last year that strategy did not pay off as Valérie Donzelli's "Declaration of War" failed to obtain one of the five nominations, and this year there is again debate, as is often the case with France's choices: though clearly a crowd-pleaser, "The Intouchables," distributed in the United States by the Weinstein Company, received only mixed reviews, and there have been some suggestions that Jacques Audiard's "Rust and Bone," with highly praised performances by Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts, would have made an edgier and more worthy submission.
One possible European dark horse worth tracking is from Sweden — "The Hypnotist," a crime thriller whose title character is a troubled psychologist trying to help catch a killer. The film is directed by Lasse Hallstrom, whose previous credits include "The Cider House Rules," "Chocolat" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." Mr. Hallstrom has twice been nominated for the best director Oscar, for "My Life as a Dog" and "The Cider House Rules," and this film, the first he has made in Swedish in a quarter-century, also has strong performances from Mikael Persbrandt, who played the lead role in "In a Better World," and Lena Olin.
Submissions from Asia include a handful of films that could catch the eye of Academy voters. China seems to be counting on the prestige of the director Chen Kaige to gain attention for "Caught in the Web," a drama about a young woman whose life turns sour when a video of her behaving badly in public goes viral, but the South Korean director Kim Ki-duk, an art-house favorite, is likely to grab even more attention for his "Pieta," which won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival in September.
The story of a loan shark's enforcer who encounters a woman who claims to be his mother, "Pieta" is, like many of Mr. Kim's films, both violent and strongly sexual. In years past, before the snub delivered in 2008 to Romania's acclaimed "4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days" that made the Academy seem out of touch with world cinema trends, that alone would have assured its quick elimination from contention.
But current rules have been adjusted to allow the Academy's selection committee to short-list films that more conservative older voters may have overlooked or actively disliked. That provision appears to have led to the Greek film "Dogtooth," in its own way as bizarre and offensive as "Pieta," becoming one of the five finalists two years ago and to the violent, disturbing Belgian film "Bullhead" doing the same last year. That would seem to create an opening that "Pieta" or another outsider film could exploit.
Cate Shortland's "Lore," representing Australia, is also worth keeping in mind. A drama shot in German, it focuses on four children who, with the help of a concentration-camp survivor, make their way across Germany to their grandmother's house after their Nazi parents are arrested in the chaotic final days of World War II. And the Philippine submission, "Bwakaw," a sentimental comedy about an elderly, closeted gay man whose only companion is the dog whose name supplies the title of the film, has also received favorable comment on the festival circuit.
In the Western Hemisphere, Mexico, whose "Biutiful" ended up as one of the five finalists in 2011, and Canada, which has had its choice nominated two years in a row, continue a recent pattern of strong submissions. Canada is offering "War Witch," a drama in French and Lingala about child soldiers in the Congo, while Mexico has sent "After Lucia," a drama about a teenage girl struggling with the death of her mother even as she confronts bullying at school. The Mexican film, which won the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes last spring, could be a sleeper.
One thing is certain: a film from Iran will not take home the Oscar trophy two years in a row. Asghar Farhadi's movie "A Separation" was the winner last year, and Iran had originally announced it was submitting "A Cube of Sugar," from Reza Mirkarimi, this year. But it then quickly reversed course, after the government decided to boycott this year's proceedings as part of the international controversy over "Innocence of Muslims," the incendiary anti-Islamic video.
Cuba also decided not to submit a film. But Kenya is competing for the first time, with "Nairobi Half Life," a drama about hustlers trying to survive on the streets of the Kenyan capital, and Cambodia has sent a film for only the second time, "Lost Loves," a critically praised drama about the Khmer Rouge genocide that focuses on a woman who manages to survive but is devastated by the loss of her father, husband and four children.
All in all, it's proof that there is plenty of cinema life outside Hollywood.

text: New Labor Laws, Cyberbullying, and more The OperationsInc Navigator January 26, 2016 2016 Expected to be "Bumpy Ride" for Employers Last week, Lexology released their list of the five most important labor law developments for 2016. This list includes the National Labor Relation Board's new joint employer standard and new rules on temporary employees, as well as changes to the Department of Labor's Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act. Employers should familiarize themselves with this list to determine what actions are necessary for their business. Cyberbullying Present in 50% of Businesses, Training is a Tool to Address According to a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, almost half of all businesses surveyed reported incidents of workplace bullying. Bloomberg BNA says that businesses should have cyberbullying policies in place, but will need to be careful to ensure these policies do not violate the National Labor Relations Act. Bloomberg BNA suggests that "employers provide training to staff and management to address harassment and should take prompt action when complaints are received". Evolving Workplace Culture Trends Gallup's State of the Workplace surveys continue to show low levels of employee engagement, with 70% of the American workforce indicating that they are disengaged at work. Forbes reports that many businesses are shifting their cultures in an effort to re-engage their workforce. These changes include focusing on helping employees become more resilient to stress versus completely alleviating it, as well as implementing flexible work arrangements for their employees in an effort to increase job satisfaction. FAQ: NYC Earned Sick Time Act On January 6, 2016, the agency responsible for enforcing the NYC Earned Sick Time Act, the City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), released Frequently Asked Questions updates with the goal of clarifying a number of requirements under the Act. Employers should review the FAQ's to ensure that they are in compliance. ACA 1094/1095 Filing Deadlines Extended On December 28, 2015, the IRS announced that it is extending the distribution and filing deadlines for the new 1094/1095 forms tied to Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance. The delivery deadline for 1095 forms has now been extended to March 31, 2016. The manual filing deadline for the 1094 form has been extended to May 31, 2016, and the electronic filing deadline for form 1094 has been extended to June 30, 2016.

Staying Safe in the Sun: A Sun Protection Q&A
As the weather turns warm, children and adults of all ages naturally gravitate toward outdoor activities. Many dream of the start of beach season and lazy days basking in the sun. But protecting skin from the sun's radiation is an important aspect of preventing cancer, and the sun-protective habits developed during childhood could have lifelong impacts.
To get the scoop on sun protection and the latest research on how to help families change behavior to maximize sun safety, Cornerstone recently chatted with Leslie Castelo-Soccio, MD, PhD, a pediatric dermatologist at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and assistant professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She and Albert Yan, MD, section chief of Dermatology, co-authored an editorial in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, commenting on a study in the journal that used a combination of methods, including text messaging, to engage young children and their parents in developing sun-protective habits. The edited conversation follows below.
Tell us about the editorial you and Dr. Yan recently co-authored in JAMA Pediatrics about a sun-protection education study. What were the strengths of that program you especially valued?
We know that in-person education is helpful, but compliance will be low if we don't give reinforcement. A lot of the patients who dermatologists try to educate might only be seen in the clinic once per year. For the purpose of that reinforcement, the study's follow-up with text messaging was appropriate and seemed to be effective for families.
Text messaging is already in the fabric of how a lot of families approach their lives, as a tool for appointment reminders and other in-the-moment notifications, such as when packages arrive. It is a good method to approach education for sun protection and other skin disease. In our editorial, we recommended continuing to tailor these strategies based on the emerging evidence for these methods, as well as potentially adding other strategies that are woven into people's lives, such as social media.
The other thing the group did which was nice was to remove a barrier for patients who might not be able to order sun-protective clothing — by just giving it to the families. Most companies that provide sun protective clothing do it online. Giving the clothing away especially helps families that may not have access to the internet or may not have a credit card, and it removes that secondary step of placing an order, for all families.
Is skin cancer a serious concern for children and teenagers, or is the need to educate about sun protection more of a long-term concern focused on later lifetime risk?
Sun-protection behaviors are important to begin when you are a child and will decrease the numbers of skin cancers and amount of sun damage when you're an adult.
We are seeing earlier skin cancers in kids and teenagers. There has been an increase in melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers in patients who practice tanning in tanning beds and outdoor tanning, and these sun-induced skin cancers occur even in the teens and early 20s.
I have taken care of adults as well as kids. The predominant diagnosis in many adults is premalignant keratosis or skin cancers. With good sun protection, we'll see less of that in kids we're treating now.
What kind of education about sun protection do you offer to children and families you see at CHOP?
Every patient who comes in for a full skin exam to look at their moles receives education about types of sunscreen, about appropriate use of sunscreen, about sun protective clothing, and about why these things help protect the skin and prevent skin cancer. They also learn about the concerning changes in moles.
I personally like sun protective clothing in addition to sunblock. With the protective clothing, you have long lasting protection. My own kids wear full sleeves and full pants or one-piece, wetsuit-like bathing suits when they're at the beach, then I only have to put sunscreen on their face or tops of their hands and feet. That's a lot easier when you have squirmy kids who are in and out of water.
In your editorial, you discussed the idea that typical educational messaging is "less is more." But the study you commented on used a "more is more" approach, and that seemed to work well. How do you balance these ideas?
Simplicity is the best way to achieve compliance. If you provide a simplified message to the patient in your appointment, "Wear a sunscreen with an certain SPF and apply every 2 hours"— that's going to be more effective. With a very complicated regimen, people will throw their hands up and think, "I can't do any of it."
The "more is more" idea plays into the fact that different people learn best using different methods, some audio and some visual. Multimodal methods for education and reinforcement may be better for heterogeneous audiences. For many, adding that text message every four weeks is helpful especially in sunny months. During summertime, families may have been armed with information at the start of the season, then may fall out of the habit over time. A reminder may get them back on the right track to put the sunblock in their bag, or buy more before they leave for their vacation. Families can be proactive by adding a reminder in their online or phone calendars about the importance of sun protection.
Simplicity but repetitiveness is probably the best message for sun protection.
Are there any common myths or misperceptions about sun protection that people should know about?
Education about sun protection is just as important for families who may never have used sun protection because they have darker colored skin. They still are at risk for skin cancer including melanoma and should be concerned about changes in their skin with time. I give the same information to patients whether they have skin that burns easily or if they never burn. Burning risk may be different based on skin color, but all patients need the same information and protection against cancer.
Another myth is that sunblock is waterproof. Even sun blocks that claim to be water resistant only last a certain amount of time. The amount of time is now mandated to be listed on the product label. Some families think if you put it on once, you're done for the day, and that is not the case.

President Donald Trump on Friday freshly attacked the Russia investigation as Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office was expected to release details about former Trump associates, and said he's nominating William Barr as attorney general and Heather Nauert as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
In a barrage of tweets, Trump asked if Mueller's "big time conflicts of interest" would be listed in his forthcoming report. The president also lashed out at Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who previously supervised the Mueller probe. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker now oversees it.
Mueller is set to reveal more details about his probe, as he faces a Friday deadline for detailing the cooperation of Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen. Mueller's team will also disclose what they say Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, lied about when his plea deal fell apart.
Trump vowed to release a "counter report" to Mueller's findings, and said 87 pages of it are already written. Trump has previously railed against donations by members of Mueller's team to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Last month, the president retweeted an image showing Rosenstein, among others, in jail, asking when "the trials for treason begin." Trump said in October he had no plans to fire Rosenstein, following a report the deputy attorney general had discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. Rosenstein denied the report.
Read:Here's who is in the meme Trump tweeted showing political opponents jailed.
Trump also singled out Mueller-team member Andrew Weissmann, and asked if his "horrible and vicious prosecutorial past" would be listed in Mueller's report. Trump said Weissmann "took down great companies," but was overturned in the Supreme Court. That appears to be a reference to the high court's overturning the criminal conviction of Enron Corp.'s accounting firm Arthur Andersen LLP in 2005. Weissmann helped lead the federal task force investigating Enron.
Trump told reporters he's picked Barr to head the Justice Department, and Nauert for the U.N. post. Barr served in the same post under President George H.W. Bush, and Nauert is the State Department spokeswoman and a former Fox News host.
Nauert may face a difficult confirmation hearing, with Democrats questioning her credentials. Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told CNN Nauert is "clearly not qualified for this job."
Read:Trump says he'll nominate Barr to serve as attorney general.
And see: Trump names State Department spokeswoman Nauert as U.N. ambassador.
The president also took to Twitter to slam former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who made critical comments about him on Thursday night. Tillerson said he had to explain to Trump that he couldn't take certain policy steps because they would violate the law. Trump called the former Exxon chief executive "dumb as a rock" and "lazy as hell."
Trump said in a one-line tweet that trade talks with China are "going well," offering optimism after a week in which stocks see-sawed in part over worries about striking a deal. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
The president also signed a bill to keep the government funded through Dec. 21. That measure doesn't fund his proposed border wall, something Trump pressed for during a speech to a safe-neighborhoods conference in Kansas City, Mo.
See:Congress passes bill to keep government open for two weeks.

4 of 5: 5 Steps to Kick-Starting Your Top 5
"If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on." ~Steve Jobs
Whether you know it or not, you've just entered into a relationship with your strengths. They will accompany you through both success and failure. They will be by your side when you need them most.
But as Steve so eloquently phrased it above, this relationship will only grow stronger as the years roll on, time passes and you mature.
Curt Liesveld of Gallup refers to this process as "Raw vs Mature."
A raw talent theme is one that reveals itself in the form of a free-flowing garden hose with no way to control the pressure and duration. While it functions as a natural talent, its force may be too strong for delicate situations that require an adjustment in intensity. Following several years of active relationship building with this theme, it begins to mature. Similar to a marriage, time has allowed both individuals the opportunity to learn more about each other. You are now able to control the aggressiveness of the matured theme, and understand when to sharpen and when to temper.
This stage of maturity is only reached when you choose to acknowledge the rawness of your newly revealed Top 5, and become willing to work each and every day to develop your relationship.
One of the best ways I've come up with to foster the growth of your strengths, is to create a "Strengths Mind Map" focused on reaching a specific goal.
Start by writing your goal in the center of a blank piece of paper. Circle that goal, and draw five lines off of that circle like the strands of a spider's web. At the far end of each new line, write down one talent theme from your Top 5. Now, next to each theme name, create some more lines sprouting off to the side. These will be used to write down ways in which you can use that theme to take action toward reaching your goal.
If this sounds confusing, it's OK. I'll provide an example below.
Strengths Mind Mapping is a great way to harness the power of your Top 5. It also forces you to focus on how those specific talents can be used to make massive strides toward success. Visual references are great for the brain! They're tangible, and can be shared with others to better explain your vision or game plan. There's a reason every successful sports coach uses a white board and a variety of colored dry erase markers to create plays! His players can make quick work of his scribbles. The information is digested and applied in a short amount of time.
All in an effort to attain VICTORY! Nobody plans to lose.
Below you'll see my version of a Strengths Mind Map. My goal is to share my strengths story with one hundred people. I'm going to call upon my talents within each theme to help me along the way.

Double Olympic champion Jade Jones finally completed her set of major taekwondo titles by claiming World Championship gold for the first time in Manchester.
The 26-year-old from Wales overcame South Korean rival Ah-Reum Lee 14-7 in the final in front of a raucous home crowd to win the title that had previously eluded her.
Jones had already won back-to-back Olympic gold medals at London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as European, Youth Olympic and multiple Grand Prix golds.
But her previous best at the Taekwondo World Championships was a silver medal on her debut at Gyeongju 2011, before she finished with the bronze medal in Muju in 2017.
Jones had lost to Lee 14-8 in Muju before the South Korean went on to take the title and the pair renewed their rivalry in Manchester after coming through their semi-finals.
And this time, the end result went in Jones' favour as she raced into an early lead before withstanding a late fightback from Lee to claim the world crown.
"It still doesn't seem real," she said. "I have been dying to win this title but it's the one that has got away so it just feels amazing. It's always been the one that has got away.
"Sometimes, you have doubts-maybe I am just an Olympic girl, but I have done everything now so I can go to bed and sleep at night now.
"When you have lost the worlds and lost them again, you don't want it to happen again. There is a little chip on your shoulder. It still wasn't my best and there is more to come.
"I have always been so lucky with the fans and I think if I lose, they lose with me. That means a lot because it's not pressure, it's support."
Jones's victory saw her join Bianca Walkden and Bradly Sinden in the world champions' club after her British teammates took gold in the +73kg and -68kg divisions, respectively.
"It's a good club to be in," said Jones. "I am extremely proud of Bradly-an absolute legend. He truly deserves it. Bianca, three-times a world champion, it just makes you want to be better.
"We are constantly pushing each other and it's amazing when it happens."
She was not the only Brit celebrating medal success on the fourth day of competition, though, with Aaliyah Powell also toasting taking bronze in the -53kg category.
In what was her first major senior competition, Powell defeated Slovenia's Ana Petrusic 12-6 in her opening encounter before dispatching Christianna Tyrologou 9-6 in her next match.
Powell then set up a semi-final with a 22-16 victory over Oumaima El Bouchti but her run was eventually ended by Russian Tatiana Kudashova as she finished with bronze.
And after becoming Great Britain's youngest ever senior world medallist, the 16-year-old said: "My initial aim was to win my first match and everything after that was a bonus.
"But everyone comes here to win. However, if someone had told me I would get to the semi-finals I would have taken that.
"There was no pressure because I am one of the youngest people in the competition. But in my own mind, I know my own ability."
Meanwhile, Lutalo Muhammad has been withdrawn from the -87kg weight division (Sunday) at the 2019 World Taekwondo Championships on medical grounds.
The 2012 Olympic bronze and Rio 2016 silver medallist said: "I am disappointed I won't be able to fight in Manchester this weekend.
"I've watched my teammates fight and it's been such a fantastic event for the GB Taekwondo team.
"With Tokyo just over a year away, my focus is on getting fit to compete on the Grand Prix circuit to try and qualify for my third Olympic Games in 2020."

It was a long, hard catechism process fraught with communication issues. You see, she's Deaf. I have some basic signing, and she is an excellent lip reader, so most of the time it worked all right. She has told me repeatedly that I saved her life. She's never been involved in a church before, and she's been pulled in deep her. She loves women's Bible study and attends faithfully.
Today she nearly cried.
After all that, what is it that affected her most? More than preaching the Gospel? More than the announcement of forgiveness or a home in heaven? More than peace with God?
I sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
"She was almost crying," another church member told me after. "She said no pastor had ever sung Happy Birthday to her before."
Um… ok.
Look, I get that as a small congregation, we get to make things far more personal than larger congregations. I can get away with silly things like singing Happy Birthday on a Sunday morning right before Bible study. I get that the people here greatly value that personal touch.
But… but the center isn't my personal touch. That should be a "bonus feature" on the DVD of church. The main feature is Jesus. Not pastor – Jesus!
I've long struggled with church worship here. I've only barely been touched by pastor worship… but now I see it a little. It happened with a teenager, too. He told me that he can't pay attention to other pastors, and now that I've had to enact discipline on his mom, he refuses to see me. So he might as well not go to any church, because he won't get anything out of those other pastors, anyway. That's pastor worship there – and other sins, too.
I have told people repeatedly – it's about Jesus, not about me. When I leave (and it is a when, whether that's in one year or twenty) – when I leave, nobody better leave this congregation. If they do, it shows me they were attached to me and not attached to Jesus.
I can't save anyone, no matter how many times I might sing Happy Birthday to them. Knowing me will not forgive any of your sins.
This may shock you, but I'm not Jesus.
I appreciate that this woman appreciated my singing Happy Birthday. I do these things on purpose to express love. And I'm not calling her a "pastor-ologist" or anything like that. She trusts Christ and rejoices in him.
But if that's the thing that gets her most excited about church… something's lacking.
Does that mean I need to be less friendly? I don't think that's the solution. Can I point better to Christ? Well, yeah. Obviously. I can always do that better.
The best thing about church, though, shouldn't be the pastor. And it shouldn't be the people. Those things are nice and good, but they shouldn't be the highlight.
The best thing about church is Jesus: hearing what he has done proclaimed to you; praising in response; confessing sins and hearing forgiveness; receiving the Sacrament… these things are the best things about church. Not pastor!

UNO Receives Presidential Award
OMAHA – Today, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) has been named the nation's recipient of the Presidential Award for Economic Opportunity, certifying UNO as a higher education leader in community engagement.
The award, which is part of the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, is the highest honor a university or college can receive by the United States government for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement.
The announcement of this year's Honor Roll, made by Corporation for National and Community Service, identifies UNO as one of only four Presidential Award-level recipients and the only winner nationally for creating economic opportunity through community engagement efforts.
In total, more than 800 colleges and universities were considered for recognition.
"On campus, we've known for a long time that you can't spell community without U-N-O. Now, thanks to this recognition, the nation knows that as well," UNO Chancellor John Christensen said. "We also share this honor with our partners and donors, without whom these great projects and engagement efforts wouldn't be possible. Success at UNO means success for Omaha, and success for Omaha means success at UNO."
UNO is the first college or university in Nebraska to be named a Presidential Award winner as part of the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.
The Honor Roll has been annually released since it was launched in 2006 (except for in 2011); in that time, UNO is the only Nebraska institution to be included every year.
Each year's Honor Roll includes four levels of recognition: Presidential Award Winners, Presidential Award Finalists, Honor Roll With Distinction and Honor Roll Inclusion. UNO's 2014 Presidential Award follows the momentum of being included as a Finalist in 2010; With Distinction in 2009, 2012 and 2013; and inclusion in the Honor Roll from 2006 through 2008.
UNO's recognition as a Presidential Award winner is the result of hundreds of engagement efforts in the 2012-2013 school year, involving more than 8,000 students and producing more than 380,000 hours of service across Omaha and Nebraska.
"This recognition is a clear indicator of UNO's growing national reputation as an exemplar metropolitan university," said Deborah Smith-Howell, Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. "Research has shown that if you engage students and get them invested in their communities, they are much more likely to stay in school and finish their degree."
In particular, three key projects involving partnerships in the Omaha community were identified as top examples of economically focused engagement efforts.
Led by the Service Learning Academy, UNO was recognized for its work with an aquaponics service-learning course, which teams UNO students with middle school students to produce food grown in water rather than soil, as well as a program that brings UNO students to the Douglas County Department of Corrections to teach inmates computer literacy skills.
"This is the culmination of years of work by many to create an approach to service learning at UNO that is characterized by thoughtful and creative approaches to addressing real issues in the community and enhancing student learning," Service Learning Academy Director Paul Sather explained. "I am so grateful to the Service Learning Academy staff, our tremendous faculty members and students and our dedicated community partners for making this award possible and allowing us to move forward with increasingly innovative projects."
UNO was also recognized for a nine-week employment academy called SummerWorks Omaha that provides 150 high school students with jobs working to beautify city parks coupled with financial literacy courses and educational visits to local community organizations.
In 2013 alone, SummerWorks participants provided more than 40,000 hours of direct service to the Omaha area, including 59 city parks, and earned more than $270,000 in wages.
"The program exemplifies UNO's role as community steward and an invested community partner committed to the building and strengthening of our Omaha community and beyond," explains Kathe Oleson Lyons, Ph.D, SummerWorks Omaha director and Assistant to Associate Vice Chancellor Student Affairs. "Now entering its fifth year, SummerWorks Omaha is creating positive social change through the economic and educational empowerment of our community's greatest resource, our high school youth."
In addition to these three programs, UNO has made strides in its community engagement efforts over the past decade, including:
- The building of the Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center, a $24 million facility dedicated to providing collaboration space to foster partnerships between UNO students, faculty, staff and nonprofit or governmental organizations.
- The implementation of more than one dozen service days across the year, including UNO's annual Three Days of Service and Seven Days of Service, which has contributed more than $1 million labor hours over the past decade.
- Being a founding recipient of the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification, an elective classification, which was introduced nationally in 2006. Over the past eight years, UNO has continued to maintain this classification.
- The establishment of a P-16 Initiative, which brings together K-12 students with UNO students and community partners to provide real world applications to classroom lessons that also address a critical need.
"Through community engagement, our students gain unique insights that prepare them for success as professional, contributing members of society," said Sara Woods, Executive Associate to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Community Engagement and Director of the Barbara Weitz Community Engagement Center. "This recognition isn't just a milestone for UNO, it's a milestone for Omaha."
The Corporation for National Community Service oversees the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development as well as Campus Compact and the American Council on Education.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to see the classic film on the big screen!
Action + Comedy = Slapstick In another post I referenced a video entitled, " ", which analyzes Jackie Chan's special form of Slapstick comedy. The Author uses the term "Action Comedy" to denote the fact that Jackie's films are action movies, but that term stuck in my head. Then later, I was going through scenes of the Marx Brother's classic, "A Night at the Opera", trying to find clips of slapstick scenes. In the movie there are great comedy scenes, but they didn't all feel slapstick, Why? Then it dawned on me, the ones that felt slapstick had to have some kind of Action associated with it. Groucho has several scenes that if you blanked out the screen and just listened to the audio, it would still be hilarious, even though his facial expression due elevate the comedy. The slapstick scenes, like the moving of the beds, just wouldn't be funny without the visual action. I think both the Action and Comedy parts of this formula can be broken down into many sub-forms, but at it's most basic level, Slapstick must include Action and Comedy or it just isn't slapstick.

The old link still shows the bad schedule, but TCM has uploaded a new corrected document which is being referenced by their splash page. Since they didn't just correct the old document, but uploaded one with a new name, anyone who has used the old reference for a link will need to change it. I have corrected my original post and it now takes you to the new corrected documents location. I have also corrected the letterboxd page. Thank you ShawnDog for noticing this. http://slapstick.tcm.com/img/Slapstickschedule_2016.pdf
What About Jackie Chan?
PBRStreetGang replied to PBRStreetGang's topic in OUCH! A Salute to SlapstickReply to Question from Drosera: "Where did you find the "modern slapstick movie list" of which he was left off?" I was referencing the TCM slapstick series coming up entitled, "Ouch! A Salute to Slapstick. The last parts of the series look at slapstick in the 1970's, 1980's and beyond. I was surprised to see that a Jackie Chan movie was not included in this list, so I wanted to bring it to the attention of other students interested in diving deeper into slap stick comedy. If you look at the bottom of the page of this posting area, you will see a tagged reference to a post I made entitled, "Movie Schedule - TCM Presents: Ouch! A Salute to Slapstick". This post has a link to the list of movies and it also has a link to my own list on letterboxd, which has even more information about each movie including links to articles and links to clips.
What About Jackie Chan?
PBRStreetGang posted a topic in OUCH! A Salute to SlapstickI was a little disappointed to find Jackie Chan absent from the modern slapstick movie list. Jackie is highly influenced from the likes of Harold LLoyd and Buster Keaton along with the comedy traditions of the Chinese Opera. One of my favorite YouTube channels, Every Frame a Painting, has a great video entitled, " ", which discusses Jackie's unique form of slapstick comedy, which the host dubs, "Action Comedy". Also, watch these video showing some of Jackie's homages to Buster Keaton and Harold LLoyd along with other classic films. And finally a youtube list of videos highlighting all the stunts in Jackie's career:
That's great, Professor Edwards. I'm totally fine with you posting it anywhere you would like. I hope everyone can get some use out of it. I've also added links to each movies TCM article where they exist. To see the links, you will have to click the "Read Notes" button at the top of the page located just to the right of the title. I'll also plan to add links to the movie's internet archive page for any public domain movies.

School's in!
PBRStreetGang replied to vintagesnaps's topic in OUCH! A Salute to SlapstickI'm on board too.....Loved "The Summer of Darkness" last year.
The Alamo Drafthouse Mainstreet Theater in Kansas City, MO will be showing the new 4K restoration of, "The Third Man" on the big screen at 7pm on July 28th, 2015. Click below for details and ticket info: http://drafthouse.com/movies/the-third-man/kansas_city?_m_utk=cb26cbdd6f58297fc9efccdfd93c38e1
Thanks for the insight, Mr. Muller. We all really appreciate you taking the time to create the PrimeTime movie set for the TCM Spotlight and I can't wait to watch your selections.
Does anyone know what the Set List title for tonight's (June 26th) Prime time with Eddie Muller is going to be? So far we've had: San Francisco Noir The King Brothers John Alton, Cinematographer
The Summer of Darkness Viewing Guide for June 19, 2015 put on the Canvas site by Dr. Edwards, shows that "Get Carter" is the Neo-Noir for week 3, but the TCM SUMMER of DARKNESS Festival Schedule pdf shows that the Neo-Noir being shown on June 19th is, "Thief". While I'm sure that both of these films are great examples of Neo-Noirs, I would like some clarification on which one will actually be shown by TCM as I assume that it will also be the one that we study. Thank you

since i installed the new graphicsdriver 17.11.1, i have problems with Titanfall 2 I'm using an AMD rx 480 with 8 GB RAM. The problems begins when i start the game. The background of the EA logo appears in pink and in the lobby of the game the screen is black and you can't see even pilot or the titan in the background. Does anybody have the same problems?
Please tell me your experience with the new driver of AMD.
With best regards

Okay, WOW!
Kristen where have you been all my life? I admit, I am quite naive and freshly born into making an actual go at what is my, 'dream'. To not only finish writing a novel, but see several make it to the light of day as the rest of the hallucinating world. For the past year-and-a-half, I have surrounded myself with incredible, brilliant, educated educators, and we critique weekly. I boldly sat and read romance to women who had yet to read such fluff. Not once, did POV come up until I sent my manuscript out to Beta readers. Guess who is a head-hopper? Yeah, me…This whole time I thought I was writing third-person omniscient.
I guess I have something new to share with the group. Gag, Gag…me dying here, people. Oh and I also learned (in my short life span of self-imposed idiocy) that agents are quite finicky in having you know what genre your current work resides, precisely. Romantic Fantasy was not where my story sat, but pitching to agents and looking a fool is where this tidbit came from, and my genre correctly explained was Paranormal Romance.
Such a beginner am I. Gracious me; I do so love life!
Details, Details – Write on! ❤ Jessica
P.O.V. is a word that throws many new authors into panic. What is THAT? Prisoners of Vietnam? Pets of Vegans? Pals of Viagra? P.O.V. stands for Point of View. Traditionally, I've not included this lesson in my teachings on structure, but I am amending that since P.O.V. will affect structure.
The structure of a novel written in first person is very different than a novel using multiple third-person P.O.V. characters. Scenes will need a different kind of balancing, so choosing a P.O.V. should not be taken lightly. Yes, often choice of P.O.V. will come from author voice, but not always. Sometimes genre might influence our decisions as well.
Thus, today, we are going to whiz through Kristen's P.O.V. Spark Notes.

I've developed a few "professional" relationships with some of the flea vendors I see often. One of them gave me a deal on some off brand cars. They're marked as Motor Force, with no other brand on the box:
I did a little digging on the bay and found some Motor Force packaging with the Summer brand logo on the back, so, as far as I'm concerned, these are Summer.
So, 36 cars per box, $10 per box, = just under 28 cents/car, I bought two:
Turns out there are 4 sets of 9 cars in each box:
Several are of the age where base creep up the sides has begun, but I'm not complaining. I have enough "older" releases, with less base creep, that can benefit from some brand new parts.
At least one of the orange GT40s will be on the way to Kimba as soon as I get to the PO again.

Readers' Voice
Dear Editor,
Last week's American Red Cross blood drive hosted by the Paw Paw Knights of Columbus was a success. The Red Cross set the goal at 50 pints. We had 63 Paw Paw area residents show up to donate; 59 were successful. George Barkovich reached the 19 GALLON level, Mike Smith reached 21 GALLONS, and Ken Butler (pictured receiving his recognition pin from his sister, Kathy) reached 22 GALLONS donated.
Laurie French was a first time donor.
Thanks to all who do-nated and to those who tried.
Thanks also to the loyal crew of volunteer workers, without whom these drives would not be successful.
Frank Wunderlich
Blood Drive Coordinator
Paw Paw Knights of Columbus
Letter to the Editor:
This summer Eleanor's Pantry has been so fortunate to receive many gifts. We like to acknowledge and thank the many people from our local churches, businesses, and organizations that support us. You are the foundation of our success to help feed our food insecure neighbors.
Many of you give monetary donations, which allow us to purchase the many items in the pantry. One dollar buys approximately six pounds of food from Feeding America.
Our young people are generous: Porter Busy Fingers and Girl Scout Troop 90631. Local businesses assisted us as well: Paw Paw Biggby, AT&T, and Van Buren Coffee. Fortunately, many local organizations also help us: Paw Paw Service League, Knights of Columbus, the Lions Club, United Way, and Eastern Van Buren County CROP Walk.
In addition, many of you bring us needed items. RMI, Incorporated brought us orange juice, Oshtemo West Baptist Church monthly brings a variety of groceries. A group from Paw Paw Seventh-day Adventist Church weekly purchases and packages fresh produce for us. RedArrow Ministries conducted their annual food drive at Family Fare, which collected a trailer filled with donated product, plus monetary donations. For a second year, Michigan Paving and Materials purchased, had processed, and delivered a cow and a pig from the Van Buren Youth Fair!
We would like to extend special recognition and appreciation to Dave and Pat Conner. They own the building that houses Eleanor's Pantry, and they have provided it to us all of these years rent-free!
Thank you and please continue to collect Family Fare/Spartan Nash receipts for us. We are thankful for each and every one of you who gives to Eleanor's Pantry.
You make a difference!

The state of Texas submitted a proposal to weaken its controversial voter ID law to a federal judge on Wednesday, two weeks after an appeals court concluded the statute discriminated against minority Texans.
The proposal, which has the approval of minority groups who challenged the law and the U.S. Department of Justice, would go into effect for November's elections.
The new rules — which must be approved by a federal judge — would expand the types of ID accepted at the polls and prohibit poll workers from challenging identification presented by voters. Texas would also need to draft a detailed voter education plan November by August 15, the proposal states, and must spend at least $2.5 million in that effort.
The changes would significantly water down the state's voter ID law, which legislators passed in 2011. Considered the most restrictive such law in the country, the list of IDs voters could present at the polls was the shortest of any state.
The original list included only driver's licenses, concealed handgun licenses, military ID cards, U.S. passports or U.S. citizenship certificates. The new version would add a litany of other documents, including a certified birth certificate, utility bill, bank statement, government check or paycheck.

If a voter lacks photo identification, he or she must would have to fill out a form declaring why. Acceptable reasons include losing a photo ID or having it stolen, lacking transportation to get an ID, disability or illness or lacking a birth certificate needed to get an ID. The rules would bar election officials from asking questions about their identification, and instead requires voters be given a regular ballot.
The Republican-controlled state legislature adopted the voter ID law in an effort to limit voter fraud. But minority groups, including the Texas Association of Hispanic County Judges and County Commissioners, the state's NAACP conference and Texas LULAC, said they believed the restrictions discriminated against black and Hispanic Texans, who were less likely to possess the IDs needed to vote.
The groups sued Texas in federal court, arguing the voter ID law violated the federal Voting Rights Act. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, and ordered the lower court — in this case, the Southern District of Texas in Corpus Christi — to work with Texas to rework the law.

Weightless SIG names Applus+ as the official testing laboratory
Applus+ Laboratories has increased its range of testing and certification services for wireless devices and IoT solutions. Weightless SIG has named Applus+ as its official testing and certification laboratory for wireless devices which use Weightless connectivity technology. Applus+ will additionally provide development support services to Weightless technology adopters as part of its new IoT Lab offering.
Professor William Webb, CEO of the Weightless SIG commented: "Applus are an excellent partner for Weightless, with their expertise in wireless and IoT, their global presence and their commitment to helping build a strong eco-system". He continued: "We're confident that Applus' professional approach and impressive resources will greatly assist developers with their IoT projects."
Weightless is an open, bi-directional LPWAN (Low-Power Wide-Area Network) solution. This communication technology is designed for use in Internet of Things solutions and allows for data exchange between a base station and thousands of devices.
From now on IoT solutions which use Weightless technology to connect their devices will be able to use a certification scheme to guarantee the quality and interoperability of their communications. This certification scheme aims to increase confidence in certified products for both buyers and end users.
To obtain Weightless certification, both the base station and terminal must pass a series of tests at both physical and protocol level. These tests will be carried out at the Applus+ Laboratories facilities and will include tests on both the receiver and transmitter blocks.
New services for connected devices
Applus+ is an accredited laboratory for testing compliance with the requirements which wireless equipment and devices must meet in order to gain market access in the EU (Radio Equipment Directive) and the USA (FCC). Applus+ also offers certification services and radio type approval for global markets.
With this new recognition, Applus+ increases its services for IoT solutions and can also offer tests aimed at obtaining voluntary certification marks for IoT connectivity technologies.
What is Weightless connectivity technology?
Weightless is a well-established, open, low power and wide range wireless communication standard aimed at bringing connectivity to IoT solutions. It offers low implementation costs, flexible data transmission including software updates, coverage at long distances and minimal battery consumption.
Weightless is the only open standard solution operating in unlicensed spectrum, allowing every company to establish its own Weightless network or to contract an operator who provides access to a Weightless network. Among its technical advantages, the highlights of Weightless include its ultra low energy consumption, its capacity to manage bi-directional communications and Over-The-Air (OTA) updates for devices and a synchronised network functionality enabling uplink transmissions to be scheduled leading to unmatched scalability for IoT solutions.
