In the event of a security incident, do you start out by gathering all relevant information in order to assess the incident? And after a tedious analysis, do you have to report the results to various management levels more or less manually?
There's a better way – and it's more efficient, easier and, above all, faster.
With our SIEM use case framework, collecting all relevant information after a security alert takes just a mouse click and a few seconds. Why? Because your SIEM system has already done its job in the background and collected all relevant information.
- With the second mouse click, you can then proceed with more in-depth forensic analysis if required.
- With the third mouse click, you can eliminate the intruder from your infrastructure.
- With the fourth mouse click, you can assess the incident and then resume working on other tasks. The reporting, which includes the evaluation and is tailored to the requirements of the various management levels, is then completed automatically.
After setting up our framework, you can install our various use-case bundles as plug-ins to help you identify potential security incidents.
In addition, we stand behind the claim that our cases return no false negatives and a maximum of one false positive per week. By closely analyzing the behavior of your IT system and tailoring our use cases to your infrastructure, we are able to meet this high standard.
Simple handling of security incidents, combined with the extremely low rate of false negatives, ensures that our customers stay in control of large and complex infrastructures.

KANDY, Sri Lanka, July 14, 2007 (AFP) – Prolific Muttiah Muralitharan has set his eyes on taking 1,000 Test wickets after becoming only the second bowler in history to reach the 700-mark on Saturday.
The Sri Lankan off-spinner achieved the landmark with the last ball of the third and final Test against Bangladesh here that secured his team victory by an innings and 193 runs.
Muralitharan is only nine wickets away from surpassing retired Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne's world record of 708 to become the most successful bowler ever in the game.
But the 35-year-old wants to play till the next limited-overs World Cup in 2011 and hopes he will add another 300 Test wickets to his kitty by then.
"It is a big achievement taking 700 wickets but I think I can achieve a little bit more," Muralitharan told reporters after the match.
"I anyway knew I was going to get to 700. The challenge is whether I can take 1,000 Test wickets before I retire.
"I am now thinking about playing until the next World Cup."
Muralitharan reached the 700-wicket mark when he had Bangladesh's last man Syed Rasel caught in the deep by Farveez Maharoof to signal a 3-0 sweep of the series by the host

I can't see the sun peeping out from behind the clouds: :D
I can't see the sun peeping out from behind the clouds: :D
It's a good cam .... same region as our Father Christmas cam.
Nice evening light.
Mira ... my sheep are never on flat land..... it really is all hills. I was quite surprised to see sheep here. I've never spotted them before. And I wish I did have a wind turbine to look at...... hypnotise myself. LOL
Sheep .... just like your view MD! :D
And a lovely view.
Another lovely day.
Me too. :)
I always like this view. :)
I should have stated that at the turn of 1800s / 1900s. You know, the "cowboy days"
Good morning!
Here in the States, at the turn of the century, there were great conflicts about the installation of prairie windmills for irrigation and watering their cattle. They would actually have feuds and gun-play because they were accusing their neighbors of stealing their wind! Sounds silly today. But with each new technology, there seems this situation somehow pops up! Go figure!?
I agree MD. And the opposition to green energy is even worse here, although thankfully not everyone here is determined to kill off the planet.
I can't see why people get so upset about them. There was talk of putting some off the Devon coast, actually out at sea, but there was such a fuss, the plan has been dropped.
I know I'm always banging on about France but they use natural resources, wind turbines and hydroelectric power from rivers and dams. It causes much less pollution.
I love wind turbines. :-)
hehehe didnt have to agree so easily kid :-)
What can I say? :))
Yes , should have this time checked the bottom pictures, got to get off here , making me nutty
the light chaged so I can see the bottom of it hahahahah Im batting a 1000 today
hahaha I was wrong, it appeared like ahelo because of the slight light spash, it is a Wind generator hahahaha , but bet it scared the heck out of residents on first look

There have been a lot of T-Mo customers who have been eagerly awaiting a pricing announcement for the LG Android powered G-Slate tablet device.

Bob Montgomery
Austin, TX
My son and I were extremely impressed with everything about Kelley. Her response time for contact and questions was very prompt, her knowledge of the area impeccable, and her willingness to answer questions from us was unbeatable.
Jana Fanning
Austin, TX
Kelley is an awesome realtor! Her input on our home buying experience was top notch. I will definitely be using Kelley in our future real estate needs!
Kimberly Ferrini
Austin, TX
Kelley is the best! She helped us buy and sell our house in record time and was so patient and kind while doing it. I highly recommend her if you need a realtor!
Lisa McCall Clarke
Austin, TX
Kelley is fantastic! She helped us sell our home and buy an investment property. You can trust her!
For lifelong Austin resident Kelley Blamey, real estate is a family affair. As a child, Kelley watched her parents transform houses into homes not only for themselves but for countless others as well.
"Growing up, we moved to several different homes and we'd update, redo, and re-decorate them," says Kelley. "My dad has owned his own property management company for over 40 years in Austin and he has this mentality of leaving a place better than how you found it. That ethic of having pride in your work and having a client's best interest at heart, that's the atmosphere I was brought up in and that's what I bring to my business."
Meet Kelley Blamey: real estate expert, custom home builder, and proud mom. Kelley credits her mother, an interior decorator, with passing on her "eye for design."
"It's genetic," says Kelley of her talent for creating an appealing aesthetic that attracts buyers.
Another area of expertise Kelley shares with her clients is her extensive knowledge and first-hand experience with new construction and custom homebuilding.
"My husband was a home builder for his whole career," she says. "He and I own a custom home construction company, and we've custom-built two of our own homes. Having that background and an understanding of the elements of new construction — what I liked and what I'd change — gives me a unique perspective when working with clients who are considering new construction. I bring that 'been there, done that' mentality and can offer plenty of advice in that realm."
Because of her background, Kelley has amassed a vast network of experts that extends beyond residential to commercial real estate as well.
"If a client wants to buy land to build and develop, that's within my sphere and I have many people I can go to to ensure that we have all the knowledge we need to make the best deal," she says.
Always putting her clients' best interests first is what led Kelley to Maxavenue.
"Maxavenue has brought a team of experts together to provide a different, much higher level of expertise," says Kelley. "It's unlike anything else out there today. Maxavenue sets itself apart by being so far ahead in terms of where things are going in real estate. Once I saw the people and the systems they have in place, I wanted to be a part of that."
Kelley points to the Maximum Value Home Buying System®, which is one of the many innovative ways Maxavenue proves its commitment to being a consumer champion by enabling clients earn and save thousands.
"I love the support from Maxavenue's marketing team, which allows me to keep my relationships with my clients going strong," she says. "I'm extremely excited about working at Maxavenue and learning new systems to provide expert service that no other brokerage currently has."
Like, for example, Maxavenue's Persona Targeted Marketing and Persona Targeted Home Staging, systems which work with her natural talent for design and decor and help her style the home to attract the buyer most likely to purchase the home for the highest price."By knowing exactly which elements will appeal to that person and being able to differentiate the home from all others on the market — it's a secret weapon for sales success!"
Noting that real estate is often considered a "cutthroat business," Kelley strives to live by her dad's philosophy: "Good real estate is when both parties feel like they've won." She adds, "We have fiduciary responsibilities to our client but we also are to treat all parties fairly. I want what is best for my client, but not at the sacrifice of honesty and integrity."
When she isn't helping clients buy or sell, Kelley enjoys spending time with family. A mom of three, Kelley's middle son is a Marine, which has inspired her to get involved with volunteering to help veterans. She also loves live music and is looking forward to learning how to play the guitar.
"Austin still holds true to its roots of southern hospitality," say Kelley. "There's great food, live music, and plenty of outdoor activities. The atmosphere that Austin has provided for businesses to thrive has put us in the spotlight to be admired."

Top Of The Order:
Who's Behind The Wheel?: There's a lot going on the Bay Area in self-driving cars. Google is working on it. Automakers such as General Motors are investing in local software companies in order to advance self-driving technology. There's the possibility that self-driving taxis from Lyft may be on the horizon.
And it looks like Intel wants in on some of the self-driving car action.
The Santa Clara-based semiconductor giant is expected to hold an event with automaker BMW and software provider Mobileye on Friday in which the three companies will say they are working on developing self-driving car technology. Bloomberg said Mobileye Chief Executive Amnon Shashua called the announcement "a turning point for the automotive industry." Mobileye has done work on map technology for GM, Nissan and Volkswagen, while Intel has provided chips for some automakers' dashboard entertainment and information systems, but wants a bigger piece of the automobile market for semiconductors.
Middle Innings:
Deep In The Amazon: On Wednesday, Seattle-based Amazon said it would start selling a couple of new smartphones that, while not carrying the Amazon name, would be pre-loaded with a lot of Amazon apps. In order to get $50 off the phones' price tags, you have to be an Amazon Prime member.
So, there's that benefit from paying Amazon $99 a year for its Prime service. And Thursday, Amazon said it had more deals in store for its annual Prime Day extravaganza.
What is Prime Day, you ask? Well, starting last year, Amazon began picking an arbitrary date to slash the prices of thousands of items, and offer those deals to its Prime members. This year, that day happens to fall on July 12. Some say Amazon uses to the day to cut prices on all the products it wants to get out of its warehouses so that it can make room for new merchandise and drive sales in the crucial Christmas and holiday shopping seasons at the end of the year.
Even if that is the case, Amazon Prime members are going to get deals on more than 100,000 items that the regular shoppers won't have. You must be a Prime member to get in on the Prime Day offerings.
Amazon made the Prime Day date public less than a day after Wal-Mart said it would offer ShippingPass, its free, two-day shipping program for all Americans for just $49 a year. Previously, Wal-Mart offered ShippingPass to a select number of shoppers.
A First For Everything: Google Capital has made its first investment in a public company. The venture investment wing of parent company Alphabet has put $46.4 million into Care.com.
Anyone who has been in desperate need of a babysitter has probably at least heard of Care.com. With the investment, Google Capital will become the largest shareholder in Care.com, which provides childcare and other in-home services.

'From Dusk till Dawn (1996)': Crazy, Annoying Movie But Yet Entertaining
As I was going through Crackle movies few hours ago, I stumbled upon a 1996 movie titled From Dusk Till Dawn. The movie is so crazy in a sense that the plot was vague but on the long run, the movie turned out to be entertaining, as it transitioned into a whole vampire saga.
The movie centers on Seth Gecko (George Clooney and his paranoid, loose-cannon brother, Richard (Quentin Tarantino), who is on the run after a bank robbery that left several police officers dead, and they try to escape to Mexico. Kidnapping preacher Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his kids, the criminals sneak across the border in the family's RV and hole up in a topless bar. Unfortunately, the bar also happens to be home base for a gang of vampires. His paranoid brother and Jacob's family happened to die in the vampire saga, leaving him and Jacob's daughter alone as the survivor.
The transition of the movie from a thief, who was on the run to a thief fighting vampires was weird, but entertaining. The saddest part of the movie is the innocent Jacob who lost his life and son during the whole battle. Guess what, the movie ended when the day was dawn, the thief went his way, giving Jacob's surviving daughter some cash to find her way home. It's so sad that the thief had to get away easily with all the chaos he caused. Also, the title of the movie From Dusk Till Dawn doesn't really represent the movie. The title should have been Fate, as the thief saw things scarier than him and Innocent Jacob facing-off with his fate of loosing his family. Have you watched this movie? What do you think of the movie?

The best companies for the daily guy do not take a lot to begin with. That's just because your daily man isn't loaded with money and can't pay to take the dangers that support starting a small company. Majority of little organisations stop working during their very first year of operation, and tons of people can't run the risk of spending their life cost savings on a 50/50 bet. The thing that makes trash hauling a good organisation to begin is that it has such a low overhead. If you have a truck you own, your starting expenses might be basically no. Find a good set of pigskins and get in the seat of your truck. Task on. These are just a few reasons for why garbage carrying is a piece of cake company to begin San Jose's Top Junk Removal Company, and why it's got all the potential in the world to weigh your wallet down with money.
1. The money: Junk transporting pays out the whazoo. A typical per hour rate for your garbage carrying service is rough to come by. This ain't roof. Each gig is special. It may take you one hour to drop an entire lot of bad plastic yard tables from somebody's storage unit into the bed of your rig, and it might totally fill your bed up with non-paying scrap. A various story is that it might take just one hour to bust up somebody's aluminium airstream trailer stuck in the ditch behind your house, and then Primary could run that pup to the scrap yard and get papered great money for it. The best thing you can do prior to going into service is a little research. Find out which scrap lawn has the very best costs, and which is the closest to you. Might be worth it to own an hour off with a special load of scrap if they'll pay more for it another location and your rig doesn't guzzle gas like an F-450. Utilize the web. Look for exactly what it costs, in dollars per cubic lawn or by lot, to discard at a garbage dump. Prior to marketing your service, it's best that you know as much as you possibly can about just what you must prepare for as soon as you leave the customer's place with a big truck full of junk. Rule of thumb is metal's good, aluminum's great, gold's gold, and rubber and plastic will cost you.
2. Low-cost start-up expenses. If you don't own a rig, just lease one. Rent a haul-behind trailer if you have actually got the essential hitch. If you lease a rig, ensure you spending plan your time in advance. Don't get stuck travelling the streets on purchased time chasing after nothing.

Human societies consist of individuals and groups of individuals with different needs, interests, and aspirations. Furthermore, different individuals are endowed with different qualities. For instance, some are physically stronger than others while others are intellectually well endowed than others. Some have special talents and abilities which distinguishes them from the rest of the members of a society.
In addition, we all belong to different and unique socio-economic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds which profoundly impacts up on our social standing (Perry & Perry, 2005). Interactions between and among individuals and groups of individuals takes place within matrices that are made up by these diverse features which more often determines our social status as well as how powerful we are as individuals or groups in a society.

In our endeavor to satisfy our basic need of power and influence, some people take advantage of their privileged status in the society to intimidate others and assert their power in relation to others who are ignorantly and blindly considered less important.
Schools are perfect examples of institutions consisting of individual students and groups of students who are different in power and status despite the principle of equality before the eyes of the school rules and regulations and laws of the land. Available statistical evidence shows that senior students in public schools bully new and junior students a trend that is common in most of our public schools and that have reached alarming rates prompting an outcry of concerned stakeholders.
Covert or overt bullying in words or actions is definitely a bad and an unacceptable behaviour in all schools and other social set ups consisting of different people. It is a result of misguided efforts of the senior students to achieve, assert and re-affirm their power (Holt & Kysilka, 2005). According to Glasser, one of the greatest psychologists of our age, all of our behaviors (good or bad) and choices are motivated by our desire to meet six basic needs including survival, belonging, love, power, freedom and fun (Glasser, 1998).
Through harassment in words and actions, senior students in public schools seek to confirm their seniority and power in relation to new and junior students (Crime in America.Net 2009). Bullying results in to devastating, dehumanizing and destructive consequences up on junior students including loneliness, stress, low self-esteem, poor self-confidence and lack of self-assurance among others which ultimately distract students' concentration in their studies.
This results to poor academic performance as well as poor social and emotional development of the bullied students (Crime in America.Net, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the media influences public opinion on social issues of concern like bullying which is rampant in our public schools and establish similarities and differences of reporting on Bullying by two articles from a broadsheet and a Tabloid newspaper, that is, 'The Guardian' and the 'The Star' respectively.
How the media influences public opinion on social issues
Information is a critical ingredient for unity, stability and socio-economic and political progress of a society. In fact, mature and genuinely democratic cultures grants and safeguards the constitutional rights of individual citizens to access all information on public affairs except any information that can compromise national security of a country. Equally important is the means and avenues through which information is relayed to individuals and groups of individuals in the society.
Therefore, the media (both print and electronic media) plays a significant role in democratic cultures of providing a means through which information on social, political and economic issues at national as well as international levels is relayed to the citizenry. The media enjoys a very influential status in democratic countries where there is freedom of the media from unnecessary and unconstitutional state control. Consequently, media tends to have immense influence up on public opinion on social issues.
Mass media is significant given the way they represent the outer world influences in our minds. In other words, the way mass media represents an issues influences our perception and understanding of the issue. Siegel, Siegel & Lotenberg (2007) point out that what we see on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines and hear on our radios influences us in two ways. First, it tells us what to think about.
Secondly, it influences how we think about it (Siegel, Siegel & Lotenberg, 2007).In a nut shell, the media plays a significant role in the formation of people's awareness on issues as well as their opinions of what issues are important. The mass media also plays an influential role in setting the policy agenda, that is, priorities of law makers, senior government servants and policy influencers such as think tanks, political parties and lobbyists (Siegel, Siegel & Lotenberg, 2007).
Most scholars believe that media's greatest influence on public affairs and politics is found in their power to put in place political agenda, that is, a list of political and socio-economic issues that the public classify as needing urgent government attention (Janda, Berry & Goldman, 2011).
In the United States, tremendously believe that the media puts a strong influence on t heir socio-political institutions and about nine out of ten Americans believe that the media strongly influence public opinion (Janda, Berry & Goldman, 2011).For example, pictures of cheerful Iraqis destroying an effigy of Saddam Hussein impacted up on the American public opinion about war in Iraq. However, it is important to note that establishing general effects of the media on public opinion about more general social and political issues is difficult.
Sometimes the media force the government to act on distasteful social issues such as child abuse, wrongful execution of death sentence, racial discrimination as well as violence and bullying in our learning institutions and work places (Janda, Berry & Goldman, 2011). It can also force the government to deal with issues regarded as exclusively a preserve of the scientific community like cloning, HIV/AIDS and climate change (Janda, Berry & Goldman, 2011).
A Comparison and Contrasting of Two Articles on Bullying from a broadsheet and a Tabloid newspaper
How a piece of Information on an issue is passed on to an individual news consumer or the public is critical in determining efficiency and effectiveness of communication in a society. In most cases information about a given happening or issue differs in terms of language, style, content and presentational features used by an individual media outlets (Robertson, 2006). Despite reporting on the same event or issue different newspapers, magazines or television stations differs in the above mentioned aspects.
To illustrate this we shall look at the differences evident in reporting on a similar case of bullying by a broadsheet newspaper and a tabloid newspaper. The prime differences between a broadsheet and a tabloid newspaper are their sizes; a tabloid newspaper is half the size of a broadsheet (Franklin, 2008; Batchhelor, 2004; coursework.info, 2005). As a result, you require a junior reading age to read a tabloid newspaper articles because there are shorter articles, and more pictures (coursework.info, 2005).
On the other hand, to read broadsheet newspaper articles you require a senior reading age because they use long terms, they also tend to be more in-depth and detailed (coursework.info, 2005).Tabloid newspaper consist of the Mirror, Sun and Star. Broadsheet newspapers include the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and Times.
'The Daily Star' a tabloid newspaper and 'The Guardian' a broadsheet newspaper reported the incident of the girl who killed herself allegedly because of bullying on thirteenth October 2003 (coursework.info, 2005).
Despite reporting on a similar happening there were key differences in the articles that featured in the two newspapers in terms of language, tone, layout, content, style and presentational approach adopted by the two newspapers. In the Daily Star, the article was titled 'Taunted to Death' while in the Guardian it was titled 'Bullied Girl Kills Herself' (coursework.info, 2005).
The language used by authors of the two newspapers articles is different and has the potential to make different news consumers to create different mental pictures about a similar social issue. This becomes the source of differences on what different readers think about a similar issue as well as how they think about it and understand it. For example, a reader of the article in the Star may think of the issue in terms of mocking by just referring to the title of the article before reading more details.
Another reader who has been to a public school and is conversant with bullying may be curious to read the whole story in the Guardian in order to find out what kind of bullying it was that made the girl decide to take away her life. Such a reader may have been bullied or harassed others and may be shocked to hear that what he or she used to think was a normal school culture could have destructive consequences due to the clarity of the title in the Guardian and thus want to read more.
The title of the article in the Guardian can also arouse pictures and memories of bullying in readers during the days of their schooling faster than the title of the article in the Star newspaper. In short, by reading the titles of the two articles in the Guardian and Star only readers may think of different things about the same issue before inquiring into the details of the stories that follow.
The style used by the two newspapers also differs significantly. In the Guardian the heading of the article is bold and was written in white letters against a black background in order to attract the attention of the reader. The font of the story's content is equally big and easily readable by a quick and good reader. On the other hand, the title of the article in the Star is in black against a white background .The font of the heading and the content of the story is relatively smaller (coursework.info, 2005).
The report in the Star is accompanied by more artist impression pictures depicting cases of bullying involving different grade school students. Much more important is the difference in the amount content of the two reports. The Guardian's report is more detailed and includes a general public perception of bullying, opinions from psychology experts and reputable educationists about bullying besides a detailed coverage of the circumstances that culminated to the death of the girl.
Thus besides reporting the tragic death of the innocent girl, the Guardian report is to a certain extent more educating on the issue of bullying in public schools than The Star's story. The Star's story is made more emotional and sensational by its pictorial concomitants. All these differences in language, style and content acts to bring out their differences in the general layout of the reports which also affects the way the two newspapers affect public opinion about bullying in our schools.
In journalism, differences in language usually guided and determined by motives of an individual journalist, his or her knowledge and experience levels , specific formatting and writing style preferred by different newspapers in the market and much more important the circumstances surrounding the happening that is being reported.
The sad case of the bullied girl suicide came at a time when bullying in our public schools had reached distressing levels attracting great concern from parents, educators and other stakeholders including the media. Thus the language and the tone used by the two newspapers in reporting the incidence is effective in calling for attention to the fatality and seriousness of the unpleasant issue at hand from parents, teachers, educators, government and the general public.
The way the issue was reported not only by the two newspapers used as example in this task but also by other media outlets immediately and after the tragic death of the innocent girl played a major role in setting public opinion about bullying.
It might have instigated the public to exert more pressure up on school administrators and concerned government officials in order to deal with the problem of bullying in our public schools more seriously and sternly than ever before. It also played an important role in changing attitudes of those who regarded bullying in schools as an acceptable rite of passage for new and junior students.
Mass media is definitely an important institution not only in the democratization process of a society but also its socialization particularly in a democratic culture. Different media outlets play significant roles in forming public and policy agendas. It plays an important role in setting people's awareness on issues and deciding what issues are more important.
Thus it enables them put pressure on the government to deal with issues they consider as requiring urgent attention. It is also important in setting policy agenda because of its inevitable influence up on the think tanks, policy makers, law makers, senior government servants and lobbyists regarding important and urgent socio-economic and political issues of a society.
However, it is important to note that different media outlets present their reports about similar happenings and issues in unique and different ways in terms of language use, style, tone, content and layout and thus they end up having differing influences up on opinions of individual news consumers about an issue.

In the Baltic states, the push to develop a new eID solution for online banking resulted in something far more powerful: an ultra-secure, mobile-based system for authentication and digital signing that requires no special SIM card. It can be adopted by any online service provider, is free for users and naturally, has caught on like wildfire.
Customer challenge
These banks had already been looking for ways to make their services more mobile, but the final shove came from the EU's new PSD2 directive. It required that most commonly used method for online customer ID at the time, the code card, be phased out.
Alternatives already in use, such as the nationally-issued ID cards and bank-issued PIN calculators, demanded specialized card readers or expensive roll-outs. The one mobile solution in play, Mobile-ID, wasn't widely popular as it required users to pick up a special SIM card and pay a fee.
In need of a mobile-based eID that was secure as well as effortless for customers, the banks asked SK ID Solutions, a pan-Baltic trust services provider, to commission a project. SK ID Solutions turned to Nortal.
Nortal has been an important partner in developing the eID system based on chip cards (ID cards), SIM based Mobile-ID and the mobile application Smart-ID that is not connected to a physical chip.
Over the past decade, we have helped to build and modify existing eID solutions and integrate them to provide services. We have contributed significantly to making eID a natural part of the e-government infrastructure. Nortal supports all aspects necessary for the successful implementation of electronic identity, whether this involves eID infrastructure, trust services, digital signatures, authentication solutions, establishing policy, supporting the legal environment or nationwide eGovernance.
Nortal's contribution to the Smart-ID project was significant. Competencies we can use for other clients are extensive.
We employ the biggest and most experienced eID technology team in Estonia. Our team has vast experience in development of trust services and complete certificate authority solution. We have provided various signing and validation (incl. end user applications, local and service-based solutions for e-service providers) as well as authentication solutions (eIDAS node development, Mobile-ID service, ID-card).
Our know-how of legislation and requirements are extensive. In-house, we have the top experts of the EU's eIDAS regulation that have in-depth understanding of requirements of panEuropean digital signatures and their authentication schemes. We are also very future-oriented, always being updated on the latest trends and future perspectives of electronic identification (such as using biometrics, online identity verification, cloud signing etc).
Thank you!
Account Manager and Lead System Analyst
With more than 10 years in the ICT sector, Kalevi Tammistu knows that the successful implementation depends on the balanced and systematic development of four pillars: technology, value adding e-services, changing human behavior, and building inclusion.
A problem with authentication is standing in the way of Germany's drive to put public services online. For answers,…

Scout Marks the Spot in Soft Tissue for Cancer Treatment
FDA extended the indication for Cianna Medical's Scout reflector, allowing the device to be used to mark soft tissue sites including lymph nodes.
Cianna Medical celebrated another regulatory milestone this week after FDA cleared its Scout reflector for an extended indication, allowing the tiny device to be used to mark soft tissue sites, including lymph nodes.
The non-radioactive wire-free localization device is smaller than a grain of rice (4mm) and won the gold award in the 2017 Medical Device Excellence Awards for the category of ER and OR tools, equipment, and supplies. Last year FDA cleared the device for implantation in breast cancer patients without restrictions on the length of time that it can remain in the breast. The reflector is completely passive until activated by a handpiece, which acts as the radar system, at the time of the procedure to locate the reflector.
"The first FDA clearance for Scout was really about using it to target and remove breast tissue, so that would essentially be the tumor and the area surrounding the tumor," Jill Anderson, president and CEO of Cianna Medical, told MD+DI. "When we take care of women who have a diagnosis of breast cancer, sometimes they have a suspicious lymph node … this indication expansion allows the physicians to use this to remove those lymph nodes."
It also means that if the physician chooses to biopsy the node first, before removing it, they can leave the Scout reflector behind in a single procedure. Then, if they later decide the node needs to be removed, the patient doesn't have to go through a second localizing procedure because the reflector is already in place, Anderson said.
"Being able to expand the use of Scout into all soft tissue is a nice milestone," Anderson said. "It allow doctors to use this to localize the tumor or lymph node anywhere in the body, anywhere in soft tissue … that allows us to expand outside of breast cancer into other cancers where it's important to be able to locate with precision and accuracy the tumor and to spare how much tissue you're taking out when you remove that tumor."
Some areas that come to mind would be colorectal cancers, melanomas, and even lung cancer.
"Scout is broadly relevant in any surgery where we need to remove tissue and removing less is important," Anderson said.
The Scout System has been in use for wire-free breast tumor localization since 2016 and has been evaluated in more than 42,000 procedures in more than 325 U.S. medical centers, according to the Aliso Viejo, CA-based company.
Cianna Medical also noted that the device does not have a clinically significant MRI artifact so it does not interfere with MRI studies and there is no restriction on the imaging modalities that can be used throughout a patient's treatment while the implant is in place.
Beyond the technology, Cianna Medical has a program designed to provide financial assistance for uninsured patients and multi-modality training for radiologists, surgeons, and allied health professionals, the company said.

How should I about to leave my husband go?
(I am 33, I have been married for 12 years and have 2 children aged 6 and 9). A month ago I told my husband that I wanted a divorce (he's a cop, he works nights, he never helps me, the children, or anything else for that matter, evil I did and I'm in love with him.) He is the only one that works, mostly because he sits down and makes me leave any job that I start, because it cuts into his life and he has to actually stir a finger to help me, and he does not want " babysit "the children! He refuses to move, to "six or eight months from now, if he can save enough money." Legally, I can not leave him, because we are still married, and he is not abusing me (physically). Let me add that he had an affair 1 1/2 years with a young fellow cop for 4 months. I would not mind that much that he is still there, but he keeps trying to convince me to stay married (and have sex with him, because "where else he will get"), and my mind is made ! My children and I deserve better! He is a Polizist.Egal how much he annoys me, I'm not having sex with him. He's like "come on baby" until I "no" and say, he walks into a room and slams the door. I wanted to let you all know that I do not give into him. And thank you all for your replies and concerns Best Answer (s):
response from lifeislove
call the police!
Consult is a lawyer, there are plenty of free advice. Where I come from, he has no choice in the matter, he once asked to leave. If this is not the case where you are, then your only option would be to leave the house itself. Remember, too, that he has to pay child support out of the moment. Best of luck! response from jennypoo803
simply his life miserable. His clothes begin to disappear … He has nothing to eat. The bed is not comfortable, because the children are toys under the seat cushion. Only to sabotage everything. response from Zenza
Perhaps it would be better to leave with the children. Did you go somewhere? Her parents, perhaps? response from Jack I'm assuming you already tried
family counseling route? If that does not go, and you really see no option to speak with an attorney who you on what you can do legally. response from jacquelinebrns advise
If you really want out, then you should take steps to get out. Instead of leaving him to find a job so you can support your children. Then to find somewhere to live on their own. You need to look for a reliable babysitter because if you or he leaves you still need help to leave with the children. Good Luck honey. response from PermDude
absolute consult an attorney. You need this guy, you do not get him out teletext.When can, then you must go. response of object
You are the woman, I'm pretty sure that every lawyer with half a brain could: 1). Get a Scheidung2.) Get the house (and the car (s)) 3) Get) the Kinder4.) Obtaining half of his money (or more) 5. Make him you're serious ausziehen.Wenn call a lawyer is, the legal system strongly favors women in these cases. response from Rie-rie you
ever seen Waiting to Exhale Angela Bassett? Sorry. You need to find a lawyer and behind us. If you explain your situation a few lawyers what she is more than willing to help. Even friends or family help, people you. Have to say response from spankybaby68 Authentic
first I, I'm sorry. Done there. My ex told me that if I ever leave, I would never put my children again. Well guess wut, I left him. I have the kids, the house, the car and the two bank accounts, but I have also been proven to abuse and Ehebruch.Wenn you can prove adultery, then go to submit an application for separation and a judge to give temporary relief. There is not a chance you get to keep your home, but u never know, the judge will more than likely not work since u that it will be in the best interests of children, to leave u in the home. If that does not completely ignore him to the point that it's very uncomfortable. Should not cook for him, his clothes, be there to support him, I nichts.Habe not having an affair, which is never the solution and will only make him angry enough to u in a divorce gehen.Ich wish u good luck nobody forced to be in a home with someone she does not love you can leben.Wenn to prove his affair, then it is the router, I would have to go.

Oct10OHGODWHY1 When demos of Vocaloid 3 Mepoid, Mew and Akikoroid-chan surfaced, conparisoms were done and SeeU sounded remarkably realistic compared to them which won her merit. However, it was revealed after a fan reduced the vocals on her demo until only the backing was left that a real vocal was used alongside the Vocaloid voicebank. Both the real singer and Vocaloid voicebank had been blended together to make the song smoother, in theory this hid any robotic results her voicebank produced.

Morning all! Ps 53.6 says "Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad."
Believing the best is yet to come means we have to shift our focus away from the now and on to the future. At the point this Psalm was written, everything was going wrong for Israel. They were being oppressed, persecuted and just couldn't catch a break. It must have felt like everything was falling apart and although they knew God, they hadn't been rescued from their torment… yet. All they could do was believe that better days were coming and that God would somehow turn the very thing that brought their tears into a testimony they'd rejoice over. The same is true for us. During the moments when we feel like we're about to hit rock bottom or we're struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we need to know that God will restore our fortunes. How and when He'll do it isn't for us to worry about as long as we know that somehow, someday it'll happen. God instructs us to be glad as we wait for Him to make His miracle move because that's the kind of faith that's pleasing to Him. Let's be mindful to stop letting the weight of our present pull us down as we rest in the knowledge that it's going to get better!

Lettuce has officially revealed the details for their sixth studio album, Elevate–due out Friday, June 14th via Regime Music Group. In celebration of the highly-anticipated announcement, the progressive funk group has shared the first single, "Krewe", a road-tested fan-favorite that certainly previews the ever-evolving sound of Lettuce.
While they released their live Miles Davis tribute album Witches Stew in 2017 and their Mt. Crushmore EP in 2016, the new project will mark their first full-length studio LP since 2015's Crush. Fans were elated to see the new album–produced by multiple Grammy-winner Russ Elevado (D'Angelo, The Roots, Erykah Badu)–previewed on Wednesday in the trailer for an upcoming six-part film: The Krewe: A Lettuce Documentary Series, produced by Coastless Media. The film will debut next week via the band's YouTube page with an in-depth interview with bassist Erick "Jesus" Coomes. Preview the trailer here.
As the press release details about the upcoming album,
Lettuce explores its funk roots in the Tower of Power-like punch of "Ready to Live" (a cover of a song by Cold Blood's Lydia Pense), the Prince-like swagger of "Royal Highness" and the OG blues-soul of "Love Is Too Strong," which sees a vocal cameo from Marcus King. Expanded trip-hop sounds create a space age audio-scape on tracks like "Trapezoid," "Gang 10" and "Purple Cabbage." Their take on the Tears For Fears hit "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" features Hall on vocals, and Smirnoff nods to Carlos Santana and Trey Anastasio on the Latin- flavored and playfully named "Shmink Dabby." Full track listing is below.
The funk masters have also added shows with Ghost-Note, Antibalas, Nicolay & The Hot At Nights this fall, including stops up and down the east coast. Up next for Lettuce is the band's 4/20 blowout at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY featuring jazz fusion guitar legend and frequent collaborator John Scofield.

Filipino community organization Kapit Bisig Centre never expected that moving from a commercial building to a residential space last summer would trigger a string of administrative headaches, forcing them to suspend their activity altogether.
The volunteer-based umbrella group – which includes the Philippine Women Centre, the Philippines-Canada Task Force on Human Rights, Kabataang Montreal (Filipino Youth of Montreal), and SIKLAB (Advance and Uphold the Rights and Welfare of Filipino Migrant Workers) – lost their non-profit status with their switch to a residential address, as stipulated under Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (CDN) by-laws, causing them to incur new booking fees at a community centre where they have hosted events in the past, free of charge.
At last Monday's CDN borough meeting, Kapit Bisig asked the borough to help them find a new space and resolve their booking fee conflicts. According to Catherine Mourin, a member of the CDN's Communications department, the borough will not be flexible due to Kapit Bisig's residential status.
"The permit was denied…by a by-law, because it was located in a residential area. There is nothing that can be done about that," Mourin said, adding that the borough may not be able to assist Kapit Bisig locate a new space, despite the group's request.
Kapit Bisig chair person, Joanne Vasquez, was disappointed with the borough's response, and pointed to the South Asian Women's Centre (SAWC), which has been provided space by the City since it was founded in 1981, as a model for Kapit Bisig.
Yet Dolores Chu, a founding member and current treasurer of SAWC, doubted a new group would receive the same level of support.
"In our case, a long time ago, we got space," Chu said. "Since that time, there have been many more grassroots [organizations] coming up. There's a greater demand for space,"
Mourin confirmed that CDNs resources are spread thin.
"There's more than 150 partner organizations we are working with, and four of them are Filipino, [including] the Filipino Association of Montreal, the Federation of Canadian Filipinos of Quebec. It's just difficult to find them space," Mourin said.
In the meantime, Kapit Bisig is hoping that their $300 booking fees at the community centre 6767 will be waived – since their activities are non-profit in nature.
According to Vasquez and Joy Alcaron, a founding member and current treasurer, before they moved to a residential space, they had never been charged for use of 6767. Returning to 6767 for another event, after they had staged a production of Panoyville free of charge, they were informed that the rules had changed.
"[Suddenly], 6767 [was] saying we're booking too many rooms, and they're going to charge. We said we're part of a community organization that always gets space for free, so why all the sudden do they want us to pay?" said Alarcon. "They said the problem was our address: we were [now] located in a residential area. They were telling me also they will charge us for the past activity."
Mourin again cited the group's official status as a reality of the situation.
"Because there's lots of folks using the community centre, they have a certain fee to pay, there's no exception," said Mourin. "The centre has a rate list, and depending on what kind of activity, what kind of group, they all have a certain fee to pay."
Shutting down operations at Kapit Bisig Centre will have an impact on CDN, as they provide immigration counselling, fair employment information, and youth and women's programs to the community, which is home to the largest Filipino population in Quebec – with approximately 60 per cent of the province's population – and is the entry point for most immigrants into the province, according to Vasquez.
"This is the only Little Manila we have in all of Canada. These Filipinos are a large constituency. The City has an obligation to them," she said.
Kapit Bisig will have another chance to meet with borough councillors on February 24, when CDN's intercultural commission meets. It is likely, though, that the $300 fee charged by the community centre for use of its space will not be waived by the borough.
For now, Kapit Bisig remains in limbo, though they may continue to organize an inter-college conference this spring that would bring together Filipino university students from all over the island.

InstaShow ‑ Instagram Feedby Elfsight
Embed Instagram feed to your website
All reviews
La Boutique Moso
Very beautiful design but very heavy on the website. The instagram images are very big (640x640 px) and there are no option to choose a smaller size even if the instagram API propose lower size pictures. I opened several cases with customer service and I was replied is is not possible to reduce the size of images. I uninstalled the app and replaced with another instagram plugin. With only this change I went from a score of 53 on google page speed to 75 just by replacing this widget...Try any web performance tool and it will show that this plugin is not optimized
Tufting Gun
Looks clean and easy to use. Works great
Aussie Meat Hk
I have found Instashow by Elfsight to be most incompetent and painful shopify app to work with. No only they don't respond with 24 hrs. They don't cooperate as a collaborator. I have downloaded their app now 3-4 weeks and not once have they bothered to helped to integrate the app into my shop.
I have asked them to come as a collaborator several times and they refused. Backwards and forth ward with too many emails. I went through shopify - no use.
I would give them a zero but am forced to give 1 star
Viviva Colors
Amazing customer service. I had some difficulty installing the app and they got in touch with me and actually set it up for me. Will strongly recommend
Great app easy to install. Just takes a few minutes a few clicks and that is it.
Lusso Movements
Excellent Instagram feed with great customization options and a super clean layout.
Insect Frame Uk
highly recommended - love that you can see the likes live
Go Camera Geek
works for what i needed. alittle slow, but works
very easy to use and works great
New Wave Swim Gear
Very slow - with instagram's API changes, the 9 slide album takes 20 seconds to load - support is not providing solutions

Northumberland's Ellingham Hall has been voted the county's Most Outstanding Luxury Wedding Venue by a select panel of judges.
It was given the title in the 2019 Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards – and it comes just months after the exclusive-use venue's wedding co-ordinator picked up an accolade as being the North East's best co-ordinator.
Award organisers say they were created to recognise companies, brands and individuals who are "excelling in the ever-growing industry of luxury hospitality – those who go above and beyond to exemplify experiences clients are seeking when looking for their latest getaway or luxury venue".
Rachel Barlow, Ellingham Hall's new Weddings Marketing and Communications Manager, said she was delighted that the venue had scooped the award.
"The judges make the decision based on venues across the county. There isn't a nomination procedure, they judge all venues, so it was a really pleasant surprise to be given this award," she said.
General Manager Anthony Hunter added: "We were delighted when our Wedding Co-ordinator, Wendy, was named the North East's best co-ordinator last autumn, and this is a testament to what a great team we have here. We've made a substantial investment in the venue, refurbishing bedrooms, the drawing room, and adding even more luxury touches."
The news comes just as the hall's owners are focusing on new business from the corporate and events sector, which Anthony said would help increase job opportunities and further grow the business.
