Serial Key Manager 1.8 is an information manager for Windows. This application allows you to input your serial key numbers to store them safely. Serial Key Manager 1.8 does not hold its own database. Instead, it creates registry entries which it reads on startup. Those hold your serial numbers. This is a rather double-edged approach.
One way to prevent software piracy whenever you're developing a new application is to implement protection measures, such as serial key registration, online activation or hardware ID protection. Serial Key Generator is a program that provides you with a simple way to generate and integrate serial keys into your own developed application.
This application is very useful for programmers and developers when they want to protect their software with Serial Keys, allowing them to forget about all the inherent problems about program protection. It can create time limited demo keys, create different keys for different program versions, make keys compatible with older versions, etc.

The notion of trust, as required for secure operations over the Internet, is important for ascertaining the source of received messages. How can we measure the degree of trust in authenticating the source? Knowledge in the domain is not established, so knowledge engineering becomes knowledge generation rather than mere acquisition. Special techniques are required, and special features of KBS software become more important than in conventional domains. This paper generalizes from experience with Internet trust to discuss some techniques and software features that are important for poorly understood domains.

A little more than two years ago, I found myself outside a Vodafone store on Oxford Street. I'd read an article by Johann Hari about a group called UK Uncut. They were protesting against the cuts in public expenditure and calling for big companies to cover the costs of the recession. They were particularly annoyed about a deal that Vodafone had struck with the British tax authorities. Hence the Vodafone store.
Hari's article and its insistence, that, in Margaret Mead's words, "a small group of thoughtful people could change the world" persuaded me to join them on their next expedition. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing and I was vaguely worried that I was going to be arrested. But I was glad that someone had started to challenge a media-political system that wouldn't, or couldn't, pay attention to corporate tax avoidance.
In the two years since then, things have changed somewhat. By April 2012, the Conservative Chancellor George Osborne was telling the House of Commons that he regarded "tax evasion and - indeed, aggressive tax avoidance - as morally repugnant". Large scale tax avoidance became an issue in the US Presidential elections after Vanity Fair reported on Mitt Romney's tropical tax arrangements. This month Starbucks, Amazon, Google and Facebook have all faced criticism in the press over their use of offshore structures to minimise their tax liabilities.
Last week, the head of John Lewis, one of Britain's most successful retailers told Jeff Randall of Sky that companies based in tax havens "will out-invest and ultimately out-trade us and that means there will not be the tax base in the UK". Meanwhile, the Labour MP, Margaret Hodge, has made a name for herself as the scourge of the tax avoiders. She has called for a consumer boycott of companies that "immorally" avoid UK tax.
Public outrage
What's missing is any sense of why this change has happened. Margaret Hodge and George Osborne are morally outraged. The major media are pursuing the issue aggressively. Parliament is being seen to act. This is presented as something that politicians and the major media do, on their own initiative. But it isn't.
Politicians are saying what they are saying in response to a change in public attitudes. They know that people are thinking about tax avoidance and the offshore system that makes it possible. If they ignore it, they risk losing control of the agenda altogether. On the other hand, public outrage is something that can be reflected back to them in stirring rhetoric. The major media, which a few years ago dismissed tax avoidance as technical and boring, know that their readers care about it.
The public's understanding of offshore changed because "a small group of thoughtful people" decided to do what they could to make an obscure issue obtrusive. That's basically what UK Uncut is. It changed because a few journalists did what they could to increase awareness of the issue.
Richard Brooks' articles in Private Eye drew attention to the Vodafone deal, for example. It changed because a few economists worked up ideas for tackling it. When the eminently practical head of John Lewis supported the idea that income "earned in a particular country" should be "taxed in that country" he wasn't, in Keynes' immortal phrase, in the grip "of some defunct economist". Whether he knew it or not, he was proposing country-by-country reporting, an idea first set out by Richard Murphy, who is very much with us.
But you would struggle to find this out from most coverage of the issue. The politicians are seeking to take advantage, or minimise the policy implications, of a change in public understanding that they did little or nothing to achieve. If the Coalition hadn't had UK Uncut and Occupy to contend with, they would have blamed those least able to answer back for the country's economic crisis.
As it is, their attempts to demonise the vulnerable have to be balanced by references to the tax avoidance of the very rich. It must be very irritating for them. Still, they make the best of it and enact the fiction that change comes from well-meaning individuals in authority.
We are all encouraged to live out a similar lie in our own lives. We pretend that we aren't influenced by others, that we are perfectly autonomous. Advertisers assure us that we are free thinkers and rebels. We graciously accept their praise and then do exactly what they tell us to do, like everyone else.
Democratic reform
We are constantly influencing one another. I turned up on Oxford Street two years back for a bunch of reasons. I was disappointed by the reception of my second book, The Return of the Public. I had invited the mainstream to consider what democratic reform of the media would look like, and what it might achieve. The invitation had been ignored or dismissed, so I figured I didn't have much to lose.
My many detractors would say I had nothing else to do, and they would have a point. But Hari's article was the clincher. He told me something was happening and persuaded me to join in. I am diminished if I don't acknowledge that.
But saying so doesn't do me any favours in the current communications system. I am meant to be an opinion former, after all. I am supposed to figure everything out for myself, and bring fire to mankind in a Promethean act of enlightenment. The deranged economy of attention rewards those who can persuade others that they were first to the scene, that it was all their idea. But heroic individualism is just another sales pitch.
At the moment, those who change things do so at considerable risk and receive scant reward. Many of the people involved in the UK Uncut protests were arrested a few months later on preposterous charges. Meanwhile, careerists and professional attention-seekers repackage the achievements of UK Uncut and groups like them as opportunities to display their fine sensibilities.
If we want to make another world possible, we need to create a system of communications that cuts through the grandstanding of politicians and other professionals of speech, that gives credit where credit is due, and breaks the current monopoly of prestige. We need, in other words, to understand the dynamics of political change, which brings us neatly round to the titanic achievement of my unjustly neglected second book.
Hey, I never said I was perfect.*

DUBLIN, Jan. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/64kkgr/breast_pumps) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Breast Pumps Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast to 2018" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)
Breast pumps are medical devices that help in expression and storage of breast milk for future use, so that the baby is not deprived of the mother's milk while she is at work. The global market for breast pumps was valued at USD 625.2 million in 2011, with an expected global CAGR of 7.5% from 2012 - 2018. The North American region accounts for the largest market share. However, Asian region will be the fastest growing market, on account of the favorable demographic as well as economic conditions. Medela, Inc. and Philips AVENT lead the breast pumps market, closely followed by Ameda Breastfeeding Solutions.
The major product categories in this market include manual, battery-powered and electric pumps. Electric pumps form the fastest growing segment and are further segmented into personal use and hospital grade pumps. The market is largely driven by a change in consumer preferences, as seen in the shift from slow and less durable devices to fast, user-friendly and aesthetically sound devices.
Growth of the global breast pumps market is fuelled mainly by the rate of global population growth, thus increasing the consumer base for breast pumps. Rising awareness regarding the benefits of breastfeeding and increasing disposable incomes are some other important factors driving growth of the market.
Medela, Inc. leads the market and is active in the manufacture and sale of breast pumps in North America and Europe, the largest regional markets.

The Invention of the White Race
Theodore W. Allen's The Invention of the White Race, with its focus on racial oppression and social control, is one of the twentieth-century's major contributions to historical understanding. This two-volume classic (Vol. 1: Racial Oppression and Social Control and Vol. 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America) details how the "white race" was invented as a ruling-class social control formation and a system of racial oppression was imposed in response to labor unrest in the wake of Bacon's Rebellion (1676-77), how the "white race" was created and maintained through "white race" privileges conferred on laboring class European-Americans relative to African-Americans, how these privileges were not in the interest of African-Americans or laboring class European-Americans, and how the "white race" has been the principal historic guarantor of ruling-class domination in America. (See here)The Invention of the White Race presents a full-scale challenge to what Allen refers to as "The Great White Assumption" – "the unquestioning, indeed unthinking acceptance of the 'white' identity of European-Americans of all classes as a natural attribute rather than a social construct." Its thesis on the origin and nature of the "white race" contains the root of a new and radical approach to United States history, one that challenges master narratives taught in the media and in schools, colleges, and universities. With its equalitarian motif and emphasis on class struggle it speaks to people today who strive for change worldwide.
Jeffrey B. Perry contributed new introductions, back matter, internal study guides, and expanded indexes to Verso Books' new expanded edition of The Invention of the White Race. For more information on Dr. Perry and his work on Hubert Harrison "the father of Harlem radicalism" (1883-1927) and Theodore W. Allen (1919-2005) see http://www.jeffreybperry.net .

Chicago-based MC Lupe Fiasco (born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco) began rapping in junior high school and joined a group called da Pak several years later. The group signed to Epic, released one single, and split up, all before Fiasco reached the age of 20. Thanks in part to the vocal support of Jay-Z, L.A. Reid signed Fiasco as a solo artist to Arista, but before anything of significance was able to happen (only a promo single and a couple guest appearances were set up), Reid was fired, leaving the MC without a label. Fiasco eventually landed at Atlantic. Preceded by the single "Kick, Push," as well as several mixtapes and an appearance on Kanye West's "Touch the Sky," the album Food & Liquor was set to surface during early 2006, though an unfinished version leaked during the spring, pushing its official release back to September instead. The album earned the cerebral rapper three Grammy nominations; "Daydreamin'" won the award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. A highly conceptualized follow-up, The Cool, was released in December 2007. Despite four additional Grammy nominations and gold sales certification, Fiasco met a number of obstacles on the way to the release of his third album, Lasers. The process culminated in a petition signed by over 30,000 followers who demanded that Atlantic release the long-delayed album, which was followed by a fan protest outside the label's New York City offices. Lasers was finally issued by Atlantic in March 2011. ~ Andy Kellman

This palette is just okay for me, the colors are great but they are kinda chalky and I only use 2 of them.They dont last more than 3 hours on me.
Bought off the makeup geek site for about $15. I have to say this is an excellent way to try out 10 new colors and several different finishes. Palette doesn't take up much room but decent sizes for each blush.
I'm sure these are not the best quality blushes in the world but they are great for experimenting with. I am still looking for my HG color... There's a few you can try as eye shadow too.
Pigmentation just ok, staying power just ok... good enough to wear to work, but I don't know if I would count on them for a big event eg. wedding, 1st date, etc.
Would repurchase though. You have 10 different blushes in one place for $1.50/each... can't beat that.
I use this palette everyday for my blush and contouring means. I personally love it because the colors are nicely varied and there are matte and satin shades along with only one really shimmery/glittery kinda color. I think it's great for everyday because of that. The pigmentation is no big deal for me because I have fair skin, but there is one color even I have trouble with in getting to show up well. However, it's pretty dang cheap for 10 different colors. I'd recommend it particularly for lighter-skinned people.
this is one product I'm not happy with even though I loved CS's other products. and this is why :-
1. pigmentation is bad on the lighter shades
2. they don't last even though I have on a good base. in a few hours they fad away...
3. out of ten colours you most likely will end up using 3 or 4 the most (make up artist and such excluded)
4. drop it and wave good bye to the blushes.
5. once the colour you like runs out you can't replace it, you have to buy the entire palate again!
the reason I gave this two lips is :-
1. the dark colours are actually nice and can be used to contour.
2. you get what you paid for, this palate cost me $7 (on sale) so don't expect something so cheap to work wonders.
over all this one is a miss, go for another blush palate or for the ones that come with the eyeshadow palates as they are better pigmented.

The pigmentation are a hit and miss for each pan with any of these various named/numbered palettes.
This 10 Blush is not terribly bad and the price is awesome off Ebay for under $6.99.
They do remind me a lil of their shadows and they do require a good base and setting product to last more than 3 hours.
Each palette one of the palettes are great and all have a variety of colors you can play with.
@Everyone: Please save your hard earned $ and just buy all the Coastal Scents, Bh Cosmetics, etc...etc...Palettes off of EBAY!!
They really ARE the SAME thing/colors!
Its just that they switch up the pans in different places sometimes!
I know some say that some are pigmented than other brands. But no they are not really!
Its just that some palettes are FRESHER therefore they will give you BETTER PAYOFF.
You can buy any variety for around $10.00 each on EBAY!
I actually bought the 10 Blush, Neutral, Concealer, Camouflage Palettes for under $8.00 each.... on EBAY!! Really!
Now I am a big believer for supporting American businesses. But we all now know where they get their stuff from....so I feel perfectly fine buying from overseas. ;)

I am beyond obsessed with blush so this palette is my dream come true! It is priced for $16 but i caught a sale and got it for only $12. Looking at the palette on the internet i thought there were going to be two or three colors i wouldn't be able to use but seeing it in person and trying it out i found all the colors can work, yay! I have fair skin and even the blushes that are bright can look natural if you use a light touch. Speaking of colors, the selection is amazing! You have peach tones, baby pinks, dark pinks, mauves, tans, corals. Right now i really am loving the the first color on the top row, the mauve pink..AWESOME for fall. I really cannot find a thing wrong with this product to be honest, not a thing. If you are a blush lover you NEED this palette in your collection and if you are just starting out on blush this is also a must have to discover what colors you like and how to apply. Definitely recommended!!!

DEALS! This blush palette has such a great variety of blushes for a variety of looks - whether you're going for dramatic or neutral, it'll have something for you. The pigmentation is great on these and I don't find them any more powdery than any other blush. For the price, I think the quality and value is great. Plus, who doesn't like staring at a whole palette of blushes and deciding what to put on for the day?
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
NOT GOOD. My skin is never sensitive, but anytime I use this I get a burning sensation on my skin which leads into blotchy red spots. Its terrible! Its a shame because all the colors are beautiful. But unfortunately the bad skin reaction makes this product a waste. Im guessing there are harsh ingredients in this.
I'm new to blush and this is an excellent way to try out a bunch of colors.
I am in love with this palette! it has a great array of shades and different finishes.
They all actually complement my NC25 skin very well. I found these to be really pigmented and blendable, which was surprising because it's only $15! They have average staying quality, but that's not really number one in my book as for what I look for.
This is overall an amazing product and you really can't beat if for the amazing price. I will definitely repurchase if I ever need to! I'm assuming it will last me a long time.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is such a steal - I wish I would have bought this sooner. The normal price is $15-16, but I bought it for $11 during a CS sale... making it a little over a dollar for each blush. That is crazy talk. None of these blushes disappoint. I love the variety of colors and keeping them all in one place. Mine aren't powdery at all and provide a beautiful finish.. Recommended to anyone!

Infographic of the Day: Obama Says "I Inherited This Mess" With a Chart [WITH WAR OF THE INFOGRAPHICS UPDATE!]
A chart marking the first anniversary of the stimulus package makes a case for the Obama administration's effectiveness at saving jobs.
It was exactly one year ago today that Barack Obama signed the $787 billion economic stimulus package, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [3], into law. With the unemployment rate hovering around 10 percent, the White House continues to battle public perception and Republican attacks that the stimulus plan has been ineffective in creating jobs, and it just released a report reiterating claims it made last month that 2 million jobs have been saved or created.
Sometimes, however, a strong, simple infographic says more than words can. This nearly symmetrical, V-shaped chart (full size here [4]) offers a powerful story about job losses which accelerated rapidly during the final year that George W. Bush held office and then slowed just as rapidly since the stimulus plan went into effect. In last month's State of the Union, Obama was explicit in saying, "I inherited this mess." The chart offers a visual reminder of how deep a hole we were in--nearly three-quarters of a million jobs lost a month when ARRA became law--and how far the country has come along the steep path to recovery since then. Whether the American people can be convinced remains to be seen, but graphics like this can only help make the case.
Since first releasing this easy-to-understand infographic, the Obama administration has sent out a video explaining it [5], perhaps for the chart-challenged among us. Meanwhile, political science professor Charles Franklin has released a second infographic that presents the same data in a different way and elicits a different reaction; in the interests of fairness and objectivity, we bring you that one too.
Rather than presenting job losses periodically, showing only the number of jobs lost each month, this one (full size here [6]) shows them cumulatively, so that each month depicts total losses since the job market went sour. Instead of a V-shape, the story of jobs during Bush's last year and Obama's first becomes an inverted S. Here, it appears less that the Obama administration has dug us out of a "hole" and led us along the "steep path of recovery," to use my own language above, and more that it has succeeded in stopping the bleeding and slowing the rate of attrition.
But while the narrative the Obama graphic puts forth may be slightly deceptive, so too is Franklin's graphic--as he himself acknowledges [7]--by making it appear that more jobs have been lost under Obama when in fact just the opposite is true. Taken together, these two charts, each with the same data but different biases in presenting that data, serve as a testament to the slipperiness and persuasive power of the infographic.

Webster's Third New International Dictionary lists thirteen distinct definitions of the word philosophy, but for the average person, two definitions of philosophy serve best. In one sense, a philosophy is a set of fundamental beliefs. In another, more academic sense, philosophy is a critical examination both of those fundamental beliefs themselves and of the grounds for them.
Calvin's philosophy department offers a program widely recognized as one of the finest undergraduate philosophy programs in the nation. In philosophy classes, you'll pursue a tradition of strenuous, systematic thought, lay hold of its insights and grapple with its conclusions. In the process, you will clarify not only what you believe, but why you believe it.
See job placement rates for Calvin grads.
Attend annual seminars and conferences like the Jellema lecture series sponsored by the philosophy department; write for the Chimes; join in on the student-led Philosophy Symposium where students engage in philosophical discourse.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Chicago native Jimmy Irizarry showed an early proficiency for portraying one of the Beatles, and Paul McCartney was his Beatle of choice as a teen.
"I found out when I was 10 years old that his real name is James Paul, and that's my real name," Irizarry said.
"My older brothers had bought the Beatles records and were fans, and that's pretty much what I grew up listening to. Right away, they were my favorite band."
He learned his first few guitar chords at 12 and has been playing ever since.
As for his fascination with the Beatles, it never ended, to the extent that Irizarry makes the better part of his living portraying one of the Fab Four.
Interestingly, he doesn't take the stage as Sir Paul, but as John Lennon.
"After he died, I got more into him," Irizarry said. "It was a better fit."
Irizarry, who plays Lennon as part of the "Experience the Beatles with Rain" tribute group, said he's come to appreciate the complexity and the quirkiness of Lennon.
"In his early years, he had more explosive songs and he sang with a more forceful voice," Irizarry said, pointing to "Twist and Shout" as an example.
"He used to sort of make fun of Paul, calling him the balladeer. And then later on, John wrote some of the softest, most beautiful ballads, like on the White Album with 'Julia' and 'Dear Prudence' and also later in his solo career."
During Tuesday's show at the Clay Center as part of its Broadway series, audience members will see something else Irizarry likes about portraying Lennon.
"His appearance changed dramatically," he noted. "He let his hair grow, and he let it all hang out with his attitude."
Irizarry has made a study of Lennon from appearance and mannerisms, noting goofy faces he would make on stage and for the camera.

The standard WS-SecurityPolicy policies are designed to specify security requirements in some detail: for example, security protocols, security algorithms, token types, authentication requirements, and so on, are all described. But the standard policy assertions do not provide any mechanism for specifying associated security data, such as keys and credentials. WS-SecurityPolicy expects that the requisite security data is provided through a proprietary mechanism. In Fuse Services Framework, the associated security data is provided through Spring XML configuration.
You can specify an application's encryption keys and signing keys by setting properties on a client's request context or on an endpoint context (see Add encryption and signing properties to Spring configuration). The properties you can set are shown in Table 6.1.
Table 6.1. Encryption and Signing Properties
Property | Description |
ws-security.signature.properties | The WSS4J properties file/object that contains the WSS4J properties for
configuring the signature keystore (which is also used for decrypting) and
Crypto objects. |
ws-security.signature.username | (Optional) The username or alias of the key in the signature keystore to use. If not specified, the alias set in the properties file is used. If that is also not set, and the keystore only contains a single key, that key will be used. |
ws-security.encryption.properties | The WSS4J properties file/object that contains the WSS4J properties for
configuring the encryption keystore (which is also used for validating signatures)
and Crypto objects. |
ws-security.encryption.username | (Optional) The username or alias of the key in the encryption keystore to use. If not specified, the alias set in the properties file is used. If that is also not set, and the keystore only contains a single key, that key will be used. |
Tip | |
The names of the preceding properties are not so well chosen, because they do not
accurately reflect what they are used for. The key specified by
Before you can use any WS-Policy policies in a Fuse Services Framework application, you must add
the policies feature to the default CXF bus. Add the p:policies
element to
the CXF bus, as shown in the following Spring configuration fragment:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:p="http://cxf.apache.org/policy" ... >
The following example shows how to add signature and encryption properties to proxies
of the specified service type (where the service name is specified by the
attribute of the jaxws:client
element). The properties
are stored in WSS4J property files, where alice.properties
contains the
properties for the signature key and bob.properties
contains the properties
for the encryption key.
<beans ... > <jaxws:client name="{http://InteropBaseAddress/interop}MutualCertificate10SignEncrypt_IPingService" createdFromAPI="true"> <jaxws:properties> <entry key="ws-security.signature.properties" value="etc/alice.properties"/> <entry key="ws-security.encryption.properties" value="etc/bob.properties"/> </jaxws:properties> </jaxws:client> ... </beans>
In fact, although it is not obvious from the property names, each of these keys is used for two distinct purposes on the client side:
(that is, the key specified byws-security.signature.properties
) is used on the client side as follows:For signing outgoing messages.
For decrypting incoming messages.
(that is, the key specified byws-security.encryption.properties
) is used on the client side as follows:For encrypting outgoing messages.
For verifying signatures on incoming messages.
If you find this confusing, see Basic Signing and Encryption Scenario for a more detailed explanation.
The following example shows how to add signature and encryption properties to a JAX-WS
endpoint. The properties file, bob.properties
, contains the properties for
the signature key and the properties file, alice.properties
, contains the
properties for the encryption key (this is the inverse of the client
<beans ... > <jaxws:endpoint name="{http://InteropBaseAddress/interop}MutualCertificate10SignEncrypt_IPingService" id="MutualCertificate10SignEncrypt" address="http://localhost:9002/MutualCertificate10SignEncrypt" serviceName="interop:PingService10" endpointName="interop:MutualCertificate10SignEncrypt_IPingService" implementor="interop.server.MutualCertificate10SignEncrypt"> <jaxws:properties> <entry key="ws-security.signature.properties" value="etc/bob.properties"/> <entry key="ws-security.encryption.properties" value="etc/alice.properties"/> </jaxws:properties> </jaxws:endpoint> ... </beans>
Each of these keys is used for two distinct purposes on the server side:
(that is, the key specified byws-security.signature.properties
) is used on the server side as follows:For signing outgoing messages.
For decrypting incoming messages.
(that is, the key specified byws-security.encryption.properties
) is used on the server side as follows:For encrypting outgoing messages.
For verifying signatures on incoming messages.
Fuse Services Framework uses WSS4J property files to load the public keys and the private keys needed for encryption and signing. Table 6.2 describes the properties that you can set in these files.
Table 6.2. WSS4J Keystore Properties
Property | Description |
Specifies an implementation of the The rest of the properties in this table are specific to the
Merlin implementation of the |
(Optional) The name of the JSSE keystore provider to
use. The default keystore provider is Bouncy
Castle. You can switch provider to Sun's JSSE keystore provider by
setting this property to |
| The Bouncy Castle keystore provider supports the following types of keystore:
JKS and PKCS12 . In addition, Bouncy Castle supports
the following proprietary keystore types: BKS and UBER. |
| Specifies the location of the keystore file to load, where the location is specified relative to the Classpath. |
| (Optional) If the keystore type is JKS
(Java keystore), you can select a specific key from the keystore by specifying its
alias. If the keystore contains only one key, there is no need to specify an
alias. |
| The password specified by this property is used for two purposes: to unlock the keystore (keystore password) and to decrypt a private key that is stored in the keystore (private key password). Hence, the keystore password must be same as the private key password. |
For example, the etc/alice.properties
file contains property settings to
load the PKCS#12 file, certs/alice.pfx
, as follows:
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.provider=org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto.Merlin org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type=PKCS12 org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.password=password org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.file=certs/alice.pfx
The etc/bob.properties
file contains property settings to load the
PKCS#12 file, certs/bob.pfx
, as follows:
org.apache.ws.security.crypto.provider=org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto.Merlin org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.password=password # for some reason, bouncycastle has issues with bob.pfx org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.provider=SunJSSE org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type=PKCS12 org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.file=certs/bob.pfx
An alternative approach to loading encryption keys and signing keys is to use the
properties shown in Table 6.3 to
specify Crypto
objects that load the relevant keys. This requires you to
provide your own implementation of the WSS4J Crypto
Table 6.3. Properties for Specifying Crypto Objects
Property | Description |
ws-security.signature.crypto | Specifies an instance of a Crypto object that is responsible for
loading the keys for signing and decrypting messages. |
ws-security.encryption.crypto | Specifies an instance of a Crypto object that is responsible for
loading the keys for encrypting messages and verifying signatures. |
Example 6.7 shows the definition of the
interface that you can implement, if you want to provide encryption
keys and signing keys by programming. For more information, see the WSS4J home page.
Example 6.7. WSS4J Crypto Interface
// Java package org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto; import org.apache.ws.security.WSSecurityException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.math.BigInteger; import java.security.KeyStore; import java.security.PrivateKey; import java.security.cert.Certificate; import java.security.cert.CertificateFactory; import java.security.cert.X509Certificate; public interface Crypto { X509Certificate loadCertificate(InputStream in) throws WSSecurityException; X509Certificate[] getX509Certificates(byte[] data, boolean reverse) throws WSSecurityException; byte[] getCertificateData(boolean reverse, X509Certificate[] certs) throws WSSecurityException; public PrivateKey getPrivateKey(String alias, String password) throws Exception; public X509Certificate[] getCertificates(String alias) throws WSSecurityException; public String getAliasForX509Cert(Certificate cert) throws WSSecurityException; public String getAliasForX509Cert(String issuer) throws WSSecurityException; public String getAliasForX509Cert(String issuer, BigInteger serialNumber) throws WSSecurityException; public String getAliasForX509Cert(byte[] skiBytes) throws WSSecurityException; public String getDefaultX509Alias(); public byte[] getSKIBytesFromCert(X509Certificate cert) throws WSSecurityException; public String getAliasForX509CertThumb(byte[] thumb) throws WSSecurityException; public KeyStore getKeyStore(); public CertificateFactory getCertificateFactory() throws WSSecurityException; public boolean validateCertPath(X509Certificate[] certs) throws WSSecurityException; public String[] getAliasesForDN(String subjectDN) throws WSSecurityException; }

Once I got past the horrible pun in the title (and trust me, that took a Herculean effort), I had to admit that Made of Honor was a fairly breezy, proficient crowd pleaser. Is it going to make avowed chick flick bashers suddenly see the error of their ways? Hardly. But for fans of the genre, it goes down like Diet Coke—no nutrition, but tasty nonetheless.
Dr. McDreamy, er, Patrick Dempsey plays Tom, a ladies' man who thinks he has the best of all worlds: Unencumbered sex with a variety of hot women and a deep friendship with his college pal Hannah (Michelle Monaghan.) Hannah goes to Scotland on a business trip for six weeks, and the commitment-phobic Tom comes to his senses, realizing that he's in love with her. Of course, she returns with a hunky Scotch fiancé in tow. This would all be almost painfully by-the-numbers were it not for a clever twist: Hannah asks Tom to be her maid-of-honor. Suddenly, he's picking china patterns, and dealing with squabbling bridesmaids (one of whom is a jilted ex lover), while trying to secretly convince Hannah that he's the one for her. There's also a Greek chorus in the form of Tom's basketball buddies, who at first take great pleasure in mocking his role in the wedding, but ultimately help out with necessary goodie bag stuffing. The script has a really bad habit of revisiting the same jokes over and over again, but Made of Honor mostly gets the job done. It was like a good wedding, where the crowd toasts the happy couple, dances a little, and goes home satisfied—and you don't even have to eat any rubber chicken.

Letters to the Editor
I am at the crossroads, so to speak. Don't get me wrong—I'm a fanatic Linux user, but... First of all, some background: I work for Futurekids (South Africa), and our mission is basically to teach children and adults computer mastery skills. Currently this is done entirely on MS platforms. I started to search for alternative budget systems similar to what we use on MS, but had no luck. It seems the only use for Linux in the classroom is for Internet access and file/printer sharing.
This brings me back to the underlying problem. If we truly want to promote Linux, we must start with the younger generation—the adults of tomorrow. If we can work together to implement a solid education program based on the Linux platform, I believe we will have success. The net result? Children use Linux at school—they get frustrated with Windows at home—and eventually more and more home Windows systems migrate to the Linux platform. But we need this educational system first. To start, the software developers must begin producing "kids" programs—and please, not another flash card program—but programs that make use of multimedia to teach children how a mouse works, how the keyboard works, then progress to Encarta-like encyclopedias, etc.
Dear Linux Developer Community—there is your challenge!
—Nico Coetzee firstname.lastname@example.com
I have been using computers for many years, so I am no stranger to the difficulties associated with installing a new OS. But to make claims in your magazine that so far are false, such as the ease of loading Caldera, has put me off both your magazine and Linux in general. I have tried to contact the company: the person at the 1-888 number could easily be replaced by a tape machine, technical-support lines requested I pay more money to make their product work, and I have received no response from e-mail support. I write to you because I read a review in your magazine, and dopey me, I thought someone there used the software before they wrote about it.
—Michael Brooks firstname.lastname@example.com
Sorry you had problems. In actuality, at least four people here at the office, including the reviewer, used the Caldera LIZARD install successfully with only the one problem discussed in the review. Since that time, we did try to install it on an old machine with a strange configuration, and LIZARD hung up. We switched to the LISA install and it worked fine, installing everything off the CD-ROM without a problem. Took longer than LIZARD, but was still fairly easy. Writing an easy install that includes all possible configurations of hardware, both old and new, is not an easy task —Editor
First off, I would like to say good job with your magazine. I always look forward to the new issue hitting our shelves in my store. I work for Barnes and Noble booksellers, and that's what the other part of this letter is about. I wanted to inform you that due to the support of our Customer Relations manager, and of the store in general, we have started a Linux Users Group through my local store. We meet in the store once a month (the third Tuesday of every month, for those of you in the Lakewood/Long Beach, CA, area). It has quickly grown to be the most popular group in our store, even surpassing the regular reading groups. I hope this trend continues and we see more user groups popping up. Thanks again.

I have to disagree with Phil Hughes' position in "Is KDE the Answer?" in October's Linux Journal. At the end of the article, Phil states that we should all jump on the KDE bandwagon because KDE is further ahead and is the default on more distributions. He also states that one standard GUI is better than two for appliance users.
I think this is wrong. First of all, there is something to be valued in diversity, as diversity breeds strength. If one day KDE runs into a brick wall and cannot further advance, we'd still have GNOME. Furthermore, if we all jumped on the product that was furthest ahead, Linux would not exist today.
Second, I see no advantage to giving appliance users (or newbies, or any other user) only one interface. While this may require less mental exertion on the part of the user, it will also lead to a bland, homogenized world. A different, novel interface may actually appeal to some of the appliance users.
Phil also mentions offering "one standard GUI rather than two". This is like saying the US has only two political parties. I use neither KDE nor GNOME, because neither works well for me. Just try running either on a slower Alpha with a TGA card, and you'll know what I mean. Instead I use icewm, which I think is far superior to either. I've used other window managers such as mwm, amiwm and twm, and find all of them far faster, more stable and in almost all ways superior to KDE and GNOME, especially on low-end hardware.
By saying that we should all jump on the KDE bandwagon, Phil is saying that we should all fit ourselves into KDE's mold rather than finding and developing the tools that fit us. In my book, KDE is not the answer.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

To investigate the safety and efficacy of the no-tie technique using the harmonic scalpel (HS) in terms of the operating time and complications in total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND). Recently, the HS has been used as an alternative to conventional hand-tied ligation for hemostasis in thyroid surgery, which is a time-consuming procedure. Very limited data have been published on evidence of its safety in total thyroidectomy accompanied by CND without supplementary hand-tied ligation.

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH
The Associated Press
GOWER, Mo. —
Eight times a day, a group of nuns files into a chapel in their rural northwest Missouri monastery to chant and worship.
Quite unexpectedly, this private, prayerful pursuit has made the Benedictines of Mary a chart-topping recording industry curiosity. After being named Billboard's No. 1 Classical Traditional Artist of 2012 and 2013, the nuns released their third album, called "Lent At Ephesus," Feb. 11 on the De Montfort Music/Decca/Universal Classics label.
Matt Abramovitz, program director for New York classical radio station WQXR, which has featured the new album on air, said the station didn't know what to make of it when the nuns' first record arrived.
"They're not professional singers," he said. "They aren't singing traditional classical repertoire, which is what we normally play, but we gave it a listen, and we were stunned by the quality of the performance and the sincerity. And they really were a hit with our audience."
The latest album includes a capella chants, intricate harmonies and hymns of glory and redemption, all designed to capture the Christian season of preparation before Easter. How this album and the nuns' earlier releases — "Advent at Ephesus" and "Angels and Saints at Ephesus" — came to develop a following among classical and religious music lovers is something the monastery's prioress can only explain in religious terms.
"With God," said Mother Cecilia Snell, "all things are possible."
The 22 nuns, with an average age of 29, live modestly at the monastery surrounded by about 280 acres of northwest Missouri farmland. They model their existence after life in the early sixth-century monasteries and still wear the black and white habits that were largely abandoned half a century ago.
Few get a glimpse into the nuns' daily life, with the exception of visiting priests who come to the area to recharge. Unlike many U.S. nuns who devote themselves to public pursuits such as teaching or nursing, the nuns' main focus is chanting each of the 150 poetic works found in the book of Psalms at least once each week in Latin, a language Snell describes as "mystical."
When they aren't chanting — the task consumes about four hours daily — they speak little so they can better focusing on communing with God. The sisters don't use the Internet, and Snell does so only in a limited way.
Someone who had heard their chanting suggested they make a CD as a thank-you to benefactors. Snell, a former French horn player in the Columbus Symphony Orchestra in Ohio, acted as the producer.
The pathway to a broader audience began when one of their recordings was given to Monica Fitzgibbons, general manager of De Montfort Music, based in Chicago, and tossed in a pile with other CDs. It might still be there if Fitzgibbons' young son hadn't asked to listen to it. Fitzgibbons, a former DreamWorks executive, and her husband, Kevin, a former Sony executive, were hooked.
"We know how to hear things in their raw state, and we found it beautiful," Monica Fitzgibbons said.
So the couple arranged to record the nuns at their monastery.
The nuns receive prayer requests and notes of thanks from listeners. One recent letter came from a woman who described playing the nuns' music as her husband was dying and talked about the comfort it brought.
The nuns also use the profit they make from the recordings to help pay off the monastery they moved into in 2010 outside Gower, a town of about 1,500 that is located about 35 miles north of Kansas City.
Given that their existence is so isolated, Snell said the attention the music is receiving is the "last thing" she thought would happen when she became a nun. The decision meant giving up her hard-earned spot in the symphony, which she said had given her "a little taste of the beauty of making music with others."
Ultimately, though, playing with an orchestra wasn't what God was asking of her, she said.
"I know people were thinking, 'What is she thinking? She is crazy. She is throwing her life away. She is throwing her talents away,'" she said. "But that is not how God works. He takes that offering seriously and he can multiply it 100-fold, which seems to be what he is doing. It is all his plans, his providence."
