Not sure if this is the right category for this topic...
A couple of days ago, I took almost 8 mth old DS along to his first Gymbaroo class, which was suggested by our CHN to help DS with his development (long story - has a 'global delay', can't lift head while on tummy, can't roll, seeing physio and chiro etc etc). It seemed ok, but not sure if i should sign up and keep going, it's kind of expensive. HAs anyone had any 'success' with Gymbaroo helping their bubs to improve in areas where they were a bit delayed? If it is something that will probably help my DS, then obviously money is no problem, I'll make it work. I'm just after other people's gymbaroo experiences before i sign up and pay up... thanks ladies #2Posted 22 February 2012 - 01:26 PM
What did the physio suggest? I'd personally save my money and use the time to do an extra session at home of physio...
#3Posted 22 February 2012 - 01:33 PM
the physio just gave us exercises to be done at every nappy change and different exercises for tummy time etc. We do these - a lot. I guess i was hoping the gymbaroo would provide a bit of variety for DS, which it did, but just didn't seem worth the money...
#4Posted 23 February 2012 - 08:47 AM
My daughter was developing a flat spot at the back of her head and we attended the CHC which the nurse suggested that we buy a Bumbo and take her to Gymbaroo. She also attended the development clinic in West Perth and was given the all clear by the Physio. So we did buy her a Bumbo (she fit iin it for about a week) and took her to Gymbaroo...she did like it but some of the activities I thought were a bit strange and wondered how it would help her development. Most of the activities that we were doing you could quite easily do at home without paying the money, and it is an expensive class to go to. We went for a term and stopped after that.
For piece of mind, my 10 month old daughter couldnt roll both ways with ease until around 9 months, now you cant stop her! #5Posted 23 February 2012 - 08:56 AM
Did you tell your Gymbaroo teacher about your child's specific issues? We had a wonderful teacher at our first Gymbaroo, she went home and wrote us up a whole plan for DD, exercises to try with her, etc. She spent a very long time as a commando crawler and I watched other babies her age up on their hands and knees and then walking while she was still dragging around on her belly. MCHN sent us to a physio, who found no obvious physical reasons, so for us I feel like Gymbaroo was a success - but, it was of course quite possible she was just ready to start getting up on her hands and knees and I've attributed it to a helpful Gymbaroo instructor.
We've had a few different instructors and been to a couple of different centres, and there is quite a huge difference between them. I think some are better value for money than others, based largely on the attentiveness of the instructor. #6Posted 23 February 2012 - 09:09 AM
I attended when my kids were still in the non-mobile stage. Both were mobile very early. I don't know whether Gymbaroo aided their "development" per se, but I did get a lot of fun things to "take home" and try, as well as getting a really good sense of the things that my babies could do. DD2 also loved the interaction with the other kids (DD1, not so much ..).
I agree that it really depends on the instructor, and whether they have a "helper" also that knows what they are doing. It also depends on whether you are comfortable in approaching them to ask questions. #7Posted 23 February 2012 - 09:17 AM
I'm no physio and don't have experience in this area - but do you have a Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) near you? Our local PCYC does Tiny Tots classes for about $8 a class and they are quite similar in my opinion. Might be worth looking into?
#8Posted 24 February 2012 - 10:23 PM
I took my DD1 to Gymbaroo when she was around 6 months old and felt it was a total waste of money. Hence I have never taken any of my other children there. It was nice to get out and socialise for a short time with my friends but I don't think it helped my daughters development one bit. If your lucky enough to get a fantastic instructor like PP then it may be worth doing Gymbaroo. I think a physiotherapist (which you are already seeing) is the way to go. The only improvement I saw with my DD was with the physio. Best of luck with your son
#9Posted 29 February 2012 - 11:04 AM
thanks for the responses, much appreciated. I haven't signed up and don't think I will. Well, I'll talk to DS's physio next week and see if they have any views on it.
Trinitylou2 - yes we do have a PCYC, i had no idea they do things like that, I will check it out! #10Posted 05 March 2012 - 01:06 PM
Well i sit on the other side of the fence to most other posters.
We have attended gymaboo since DD was 5 months old she is now 18 months old and we LOVE it. She did not have any type of delay but i do believe it has helped in her development. I would miss out on other activities before giving up gymbaroo We have a fantastic instructor and helper and a great centre. I have found that either you LOVE gymbaroo or HATE it... there does not seem to be any middle ground #11Posted 31 March 2012 - 05:16 PM QUOTE (Carnival kid @ 05/03/2012, 02:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well i sit on the other side of the fence to most other posters.

Both my children attended from around 6 months to 2.5 years (I think my son until 3 because he kept asking to go. He's 4 now and jealous his little sister is still getting to go ).

Doesn't matter if it is swimming lessons/kindermusik/ready steady go sports/art'n'move/tiny tutus ballet that just seems to be the going rate 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Hacking Your Own System Helps Assess Vulnerabilities
Hacking Your Own System Helps Assess Vulnerabilities
Elizabeth Millard
Posted 2005-09-15
It takes more than just hiring a hacker to find holes in a company's infrastructure. A real solution involves a thorough security testing program that covers all the bases.
Much as home invasion experts do a house tour to look for open windows and broken locks, network security professionals should be called in to find the holes and flaws in a companys IT infrastructure and systems, said security experts on Thursday. During Ziff Davis Internets Security Virtual Tradeshow, panelists offered advice on how companies can assess which type of professional firms are right for them, what type of protections to put in place, and why its important to set long-term security goals.
Lenny Mansell, senior manager of security consulting at Eclipsecurity, noted that when some enterprises are ready to do security assessments, they consider hiring hackers to defeat the companys firewalls and other protective measures, but such a tactic may not be reliable.
"What you want is a security professional to conduct regimented testing," said Mansell. "Dont just look for people who can break into your computers."

Companies should keep in mind that a good security testing program will have several types of assessments, noted Mansell.
These include penetration testing to determine how easily systems can be overtaken, and vulnerability testing to discover problems once someone is inside the network. Also worth noting is that there wont be a one-size-fits-all approach, which means companies will need to have goals in place before the work begins. "No two client environments are the same," Mansell said. "Each engagement is a custom job. The scope, time and effort are dependent on the engagement parameters like size and complexity of the target environment. Clients should choose which parameters support their goals." Once the objectives of a vulnerability assessment are in place, and companies have targeted which systems will be checked, the next step is often to find a firm that can handle the work. For this, there are several options, each with their own pros and cons, noted Brian Serra, senior security consultant of Forsythe Consulting. The "big four" audit firmsErnst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG and Deloitte & Touchehave the advantage of a strong reputation, large audit capacity and product management experience. But they also tend to cost more than smaller firms, assign junior staff to assessments and they dont implement their recommendations. Security vendors like Symantec, McAfee, ISS and VeriSign also have solid reputations, and have the added benefit of in-house researchers that examine new vulnerabilities as well as dedicated security consulting services. However, they may also be product or service biased, and could offer low-cost assessments in order to push a specific product, Serra said.

Security consulting companies like GreenPages, Red Siren and FishNet boast large product management experience and use senior consultants to deliver assessments, but companies may find there are limitations in terms of regional focus and consultant availability. Finally, there are independent security consultants, Serra noted. These professionals can be very focused and specialized, but sometimes lack the documentation thats needed for the task. In general, Serra recommends that companies hire consultants that are able to articulate and follow a formal process for setting scope, defining an approach, and documenting the results. "Also, setting expectations is a very important step," said Serra. "Look at how and when testing will be conducted, how the results will be presented and what will be implemented afterward." Security consultants can also examine more than IT assets and architectures, said Brady Justice, director of systems engineering for TraceSecurity Inc. Some security risks are not the result of clever hackers finding open ports, he noted, but rather of good old social engineering tactics. This strategy, in which employees are persuaded to give out company information, is a classic in the technology arena. Hackers pose as fellow employees, and even professionals like fire marshals, to gain entry to a building and collect company data. Some even root through a companys garbage to find material that has been tossed instead of shredded. "With many of the new prevention measures like firewalls, its become more difficult for hackers to get into networks," said Justice. "Sometimes its easier, and lower risk, to use social engineering instead." Security professionals can be brought in to do on-site testing, he noted, in order to ascertain how significantly human error might be affecting a companys overall security plan. "With this type of assessment, you can fine-tune whats being done for your companys security," Justice said.

Sabres make high-tech addition to HSBC Arena
The Buffalo Sabres will have a new high-tech entertainment board on display to greet fans at HSBC Arena beginning Oct. 28.
The team said Monday that VMagic division of Venue 1, of Wayne, Pa., has completed the installation of its 360-degree, Philips-powered LED fascia display. The display, which encircles the upper level bowl around the arena, will debut when the Sabres play the Minnesota Wild at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Officials said board will bring an added dimension of colorful, creative and highly flexible animations and graphics.
"This LED display board is another way we are trying to enhance the fan experience at HSBC Arena," said Larry Quinn, the Sabres' managing partner. "We feel it will add to the fans overall atmosphere at the game."
The cost of the fascia board was not disclosed.
Venue 1 also has its Philips systems in operation at baseball parks in Rome, Ga., and Albuquerque, N.M. and has plans to install the system at the Philadelphia Phillies' new Citizens Bank Park, which opens next season, and at the Phillies' new training site in Clearwater, Fla., also scheduled to open next season.

Women team up to give vodka a Detroit flavor
A group of five women are putting a Detroit spin on an international recipe for vodka.
Our/Detroit is to open at the end of the summer in Southwest Detroit as part of a global network of vodka distilleries called Our/Vodka. Our/Vodka is produced in urban microdistilleries around the world and branded with the city name – hence, Our/Detroit.
Wine and spirits distributor Pernod Ricard came to Detroit last summer in search of entrepreneurs to launch its first U.S. distillery. The company found its team in distillery manager JeanMarie Morrish, sales director Lynne Savino and three local partners, Kate Bordine, Sara Aldridge and Brandi Keeler.
All five women have helped in the construction of the microdistillery, located at 2545 Bagley St. in Detroit. The former Bagley Billiard Center building was most recently Bagley Food Center, which closed in early 2000.
Our/Vodka was started by six entrepreneurs in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2011. Two years later, the first distillery-city partnership, Our/Berlin, opened.
The team
When Pernod Ricard representatives came to Detroit to scout for entrepreneurs, they ended up at Ponyride, a Corktown co-working space, where they met Bordine, Ponyride's executive director. Bordine traveled to Berlin, where she met the local partners and saw the pilot project in action.
"I just fell in love with the project, how creative and fun and innovative it was – taking a global company and giving it local roots," she said.
Bordine, 32, eventually connected with the other women, who worked out their roles in building Our/Detroit.
Aldridge, 34, previously worked at Mercury Burger Bar in Corktown as well as for Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit dedicated to helping communities with tree-planting projects, environmental education and urban agriculture. At Our/Detroit, she will manage events and the bar and will work with local horticulturists to find local ingredients.
Keeler, 25, works at United Way for Southeastern Michigan as a visual content specialist, and will manage branding and marketing for Our/Detroit.
Morrish, 24, worked in research and development until taking on the role of distillery manager.
Savino, who worked in sales for a specialty food and wine company, will manage sales.
The product/process
Pernod Ricard provides funds the distillery buildout and provides the recipe for each city; the local partners are in charge of production, sales and marketing.
Bordine said the Our/Vodka recipe is universal, but it will taste a little different in every city, because ingredients are locally sourced.
Pernod Ricard's investment in Our/Detroit is around $600,000, the team said. This includes the construction, design and repurposing of the building. Bordine said the investment works like a private loan, as Pernod Ricard will share in the profits of each microdistillery.
Customers can try Our/Detroit vodka in its 40-person tasting room; the microdistillery will also be open for tours during the week.
Our/Detroit vodka will retail for $16.99 a pint.
Morrish said the goal is to make 200 gallons – 1,600 bottles – of vodka a week. The team plans to start testing Our/Detroit's first batches the second week of June.

Toilet did not work Room was much too hot Room too small for such a price
Owner very welcoming; great breakfast with lots of unusual options in addition to the standard fry-up; convenient location just on the edge of the centre, which avoids the worst of the Cambridge traffic
Good location, very helpful staff
The room was very small
Staff were lovely, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast good (they went out of their way to accommodate my dietary requirements) hot water, quiet room.
The room was tiny, and the furniture (apart from the bed) was ancient and rickety, the wallpaper peeling and outdated. There were electrical wires wrapped around the headboard, and the bedside lamps flickered on and off if you leaned back in the bed. It would all be kitsch and funny if it were less expensive, but £85 should get you something less down at heel.
Excellent shower. Tea making facilities. Crisp bed linen. Heated towel rail. Pleasant staff. Thoughtful amenities.
Car parking in Cambridge is a nightmare & now spaces that were once free are now charged. Obviously not the responsibility of the hotel but I had to forgo breakfast in order to move my car.
The location - best for the purpose. The reception staff quite supportive and very helpful. Delicious B'fast
It was steps away from the Fitzwilliam museum, you also have Hot Numbers café steps away, and it is between the train station and the city center, which is practical when one has luggage.
The walls are thin and I could hear the people next door talking and laughing.
The location The atmospere The space and facilities in the roon The breakfast
Lack of car parking spaces. Having to park 1/2 a mile from the hotel.
Friendly helpful staff. Lovely breakfast. 7-10min walk to kings college. Quiet location. Enjoyable stay
Parking very limited at hotel. local parking VERY expensive
Nice hotel, very close to the City Center, free parking (only 5 spots). Good breakfast (buffet)
No dinner possibilities
Excellent breakfast.
Room well-kept but décor a little tired when you looked more closely.
A warm and helpfull staff, made my stay as it was back at home. Since I was on a business trip, location was just perfect. A british typical setting for breakfast, let me had a taste of their traditional ways.
The Lensfield hotel was very comfortable. Our room wasn't very big but it had everything we needed including tea/coffee. The bedding was very good quality. The room was spotless. The breakfast was very good with a good range of items including fresh fruit, yoghurts, full English, croissants, cereals etc. All the staff were helpful and friendly. It was only a ten minute walk in to town from the hotel. We would definitely stay here again.
The silicon in the shower could do with being replaced as it was a bit mouldy.
Extremely noisy room with work staff standing immediately outside our bedroom window, shouting and slamming doors. Unable to get any rest all day!
Rooms (one double executive and single executive) were nicely decorated and beds comfortable. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate available as well as complimentary water in rooms. Allowed early check in as we were going to a wedding. Quiet hotel situated in a good location.
Lovely place and staff and location. Minus--very steep stairs and rooms not very soundproof.
See above
Location breakfast parking
For a boutique it was a bit chintzy
location breakfast
Parking was indicated as being available. In practice there is room for 5 small vehicles with parking 200 yards away in residential area. Inconvenient and insecure. Our vehicle was scratched by apparent wilful damage.
The room was good, staff helpful, spa excellent. Breakfast very good. The only thing was we had to be at breakfast by 9 thur/Fri/sat. Which 9.30 would have been better. Enjoyable stay, but quite expensive. £150 a night.
9am the latest time for breakfast.
The staff were very welcoming and professional. Room was clean, warm, and had good wardrobe space, great TV and some cute furnishing touches. Lots of choice at breakfast in a nice dining room. The outside of the hotel looks fantastic, and the spa services appeared good but I didn't get a chance to try any.
The shower wasn't with the toilet in the ensuite section, it was IN the bedroom! The room needed a bit of care - looks 'shabby chic' from a distance, but actually the wallpaper was pealing off at the edges etc. Window wouldn't fully shut. The croissant was stale at breakfast.
The hotel was really cute and had a nice charm. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and there was a lot of choice. The location is just a short walk from the main centre and the place is very beautiful to visit.
The room was very cold and one of the beds was a bit broken. Some of the furniture needs updating. Spa information is not so clear too

My old JVC Addixion (XA1) recording at 1080P (30FPS) doesn't get the trick done at any useful distance. There are a number of higher resolution cameras coming out now and I'm thinking about upgrading for just that reason.

Gisele Bundchen Pictures at UN Awards
Gisele Bundchen Presents Don Cheadle With an Environmental Challenge
Gisele Bundchen dressed up for a good cause in NYC last night in order to attend the United Nations For the Environment Programme's Champions of the Earth Awards at the American Museum of Natural History. She's a goodwill ambassador for the organization and shared the stage with luminaries like Mexican President Felipe Calderón. It was the supermodel's third night of philanthropy in less than a week, after she attended Friday's Global Environmental Citizen Awards and Monday's Robin Hood Gala. She had her husband, Tom Brady, and his hair on hand for the latter event, which raised $47 million to fight poverty. Gisele's latest evening of charity was to kick off a UN-sponsored challenge for World Environment Day, which is on June 5. She and actor Don Cheadle are challenging fans to see which star can get more people to help plant a new forest — check out the World Environment Day page to get involved.

Nightingale Montessori is a non-profit private school affiliated with American Montessori Society and chartered by the State of Ohio Board of Education for K-12 and offers programs for toddlers through high school.
All of our classes are directed by certified Montessori teachers and highly qualified assistants.
The school has served as an intern site for Wittenberg University and other Springfield area colleges and high schools.
At Nightingale Montessori, classes are smaller and scheduled according to varied levels of ability, and this facilitates daily assessment of each child's challenge level and heightens his self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
The schools that grew out of the industrial age and its economy of mass production valued externally imposed standards and the rigors of a "no pain - no gain" work ethic.
The recent standard-based reforms, designed to remedy the outmoded traditional system with drill-and-kill regimes of testing, are not only crushing young minds; they are failing to produce better results.

STEWARTSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA â NOVEMBER 2012: The Eureka Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Company serves the greater Stewartstown, Pennsylvania area, and although most of its glory and commitment is deservedly focused on helping neighbors in need, it also boasts a fine social hall that it rents for meetings, wedding receptions, and other events. At over 4,000 square-feet, the social hall can comfortably accommodate up to three hundred people. Until recently, however, its sound reinforcement system delivered poor coverage with marginal fidelity. The company hired Stage Masters, a local AV integration firm, to renovate the roomâs A/V system. Stage Masters called on Ashly Audio processing, amplification, and user control to deliver a new system that is perfectly tuned, reliable, and easy to use.
The new system is configured to flexibly meet the needs of all potential users and renters. Shure wireless microphones provide users with a ready and convenient means of amplify voice and are joined by a stereo iPod input, a handful of mic- and line-level input jacks, and the outputs from the video playback system. Shawn Fife, owner of Stage Masters, selected the Ashly ne24.24M processor based on its flexibility. For example, its I/O count is modular, and he initially outfitted the social hallâs ne24.24M with twelve inputs and four outputs. âWith the Ashly ne24.24M, I can scale the processing to the needs of a particular job,â said Fife. âMoreover, the unit is network ready, right out of the box, which makes it easy to help clients remotely.â
The Ashly ne24.24Mâs modularity was especially useful in this instance, because the officials requested additional output channels after the system was already installed. âI gave them Shure headset microphones for use on bingo nights, among other things,â said Fife. âAfter they used the system a few times, they changed their minds and wanted to give the caller a monitor channel to listen for bingo calls. Since we were already using all four of the installed output channels, they would have been out of luck were it not for the ne24.24Mâs modularity. We were able to meet their request at little expense simply by adding another output card together with a small powered monitor at the callerâs position.â
The original four outputs from the Ashly ne24.24M feed four zones: the entrance hall, the kitchen, main hall left, and main hall right. Because the room is always oriented the same way for video presentations, it was possible to enhance the experience with stereo. A new BenQ SH910 projector gives the roomâs users crisp video presentations. Powered by an Ashly ne4250.70 amplifier, Pure Resonance SD4 Lay-In 2×2 drop ceiling speakers give the system impressive punch and clarity with no hot spots. âFor the power that they deliver, the Ashly amplifiers are extremely cost-effective,â said Fife. Although he hasnât yet hooked into them as he has the ne24.24M, the Ashly ne4250.70 is also network-ready right out of the box.
User control of the system is simple and intuitive. An Ashly WR-5 push-button wall remote placed at the front of the room provides volume control of an adjacent microphone jack and computer input, as well as volume control of the systemâs four wireless microphones. A second Ashly WR-5 located in the kitchen provides volume control of two adjacent microphone jacks, as well as an adjacent iPod jack.
ABOUT ASHLY AUDIO Ashly Audio Inc. is recognized as a world leader in the design and manufacturing of high quality & high performance signal processing equipment and power amplification for use in the commercial sound contracting and professional audio markets. The 37-year old company is headquartered in Webster, New York U.S.A. www.ashly.com

History of the Pro Bono Collaborative
A History:
- May 2004: School of Law hosted the Racial Justice Colloquium, which was funded by the Rhode Island Foundation and which brought together attorneys and community representatives to focus on issues of racial justice. Primary among these issues was the dire need for pro bono legal assistance in low-income communities, and especially communities of color.
- June 2005: School of Law published "Addressing Unmet Legal Need in Rhode Island: Barriers and Incentives to Pro Bono Participation," also funded by the R.I. Foundation, which reported findings from a voluntary survey of R.I. attorneys about contributing factors to pro bono participation.
- June 2005: School of Law presented survey results at R.I. Bar Annual Meeting, and brought attorneys from the Pro Bono Initiative in Chicago to talk about the success of their program, which was designed to increase the availability of pro bono legal services in that state.
- January 2006: Pro Bono Collaborative Pilot Project, supported by a generous grant from the R.I. Foundation, was launched at the School of Law's Feinstein Institute for Legal Service.
- January 2007: Pro Bono Collaborative received additional funding from the R.I. Foundation.
- October 2007: Pro Bono Collaborative held the first meeting of its new Advisory Board. Comprised of leaders in the legal, non-profit, and law school communities, the Advisory Board has been asked to bring ideas, wisdom, and experience to the table as the Pro Bono Collaborative continues to extend its reach into the community.
- January 2008: Pro Bono Collaborative received additional funding from the R.I. Foundation.

Greetings: Doommincus Maximus: User ID: 1310035
FFS, these Niribu tards are going to change the story again...
Now there is no eliptical orbit at all its just a "planet" that is cruising though space.
**US/WE ... Did Not Say ... This "Planet" Was Nibiru ... We Said It Was A "Maybe" !!
**As To The "Eliptical Orbit" ... Which Is Of Your "Figure 8" ... & Of The "Morbius Loop" ... It Is Of The Path Of Nibiru ... As Those On Terra/Earth Understand ... Of (1) Complete "Loop" This Is A "Shar" !!
**It Is Also Needed To Understand ... That Nibiru Has The Ability (Via Technological Enhancments") ... To Instantly Dematerialize From One Point ... & Rematerialize At Another Point ... Distance/Time, Ect. ... Having No Bearing !!
**Nibiru Can Be Anywhere ... Anyplace ... A Great Distance Away ... By Your Reconing ... Yet Be Suddenly In Front Of You ... With All Things Associated !!
Can someone please explain how this was supposedly seen 3600 years ago when its 100 light years away now?
**3,600 Terrestrial Years ... Is A "Rounded Off Estimation" !! ... The Actual "Elipitical Orbit" (When Nibiru Stays In This Orbit !!) ... Is 3,652 - 3,657 Terrestrial Years = 1 Shar !! ... **However As Nibiru Can Instantly Be ... Where It Needs To Be ... Any Such "Estimates" Can Be Put Into The Garbage Can !!
**Also ... They Do Not Use The Misunderstood/Non-Understood Way Of Thinking In "Light Years" !! ... This Is An "Artificial/False Construct/Creation ... That Was Invented On Terra/Earth ... & Does Not Apply To ET's ... Who Are Beyond Such Things !!
oh.. worm holes... of course that add validation to the fucking story.
**The Hollowed Out In Ancient Times & Outfitted With Highly Technological Adaptations ... Of This World/Planet ... A Traveling Space Vessel ... It Can Create It's Own Artifical Worm Holes/Gateways ... & Take Advantage Of Those Already Established !! ... This Is Just (1) Way ... It Gets Around !!
Please niributards go undergound and hide from this so us normal people can continue with real news
**What Are ... "Normal People" ??? ... Ones That Would Rather ... Deny ... That Such Things ... Beyond The Limited Ways Of Comprehension There ... Can & Do Exist ... Rather Then Face "True Reality" ... & Accept That Terra/Earth ... Is Relatively Young ... In The Cosmic Scheme Of Things ... Of Which There Have Been Universes, Galaxies, Systems ... Ancient To The Extreme ... That Did Exist ... That Do Exist ... Of Their Own Place ... Their Own Frame !! ... Beings Who Are Greatly Beyond ... The Ways & Thinkings On Terra/Earth !!

Why did Rite Aid and CVS block Apple Pay?
Need to pick up a prescription? How about some shampoo or Tic Tacs?
Last week, consumers with the newest iPhones could have used the Apple Pay system to make payments with their devices at their local Rite Aid and CVS.
But no more; those two chains have pulled the plug on Apple Pay, saying only that they're still evaluating payment options for their customers.
The reversal was poorly executed and a bad idea for CVS and Rite Aid, says Deborah Baxley, a payments consultant with CapGemini.
"It's already having an effect because the Twitterverse is exploding with disgruntled Apple Pay customers," she explains. "So I think these merchants are effectively shooting themselves in the foot."
But she says the impact will likely be more reputational, less bottom-line.
"[The stores are] saying, 'We control the terminal,'" says Mary Monahan, the head of mobile at Javelin Strategy & Research. "'We control the customer relationship and if you don't listen to us, then we're just not going to turn on these terminals.'"
Monahan expects Apple Pay to be successful in the next few years, but says the company will likely need to reach out to merchants.
"Apple Pay doesn't offer loyalty [programs], doesn't give the merchant anything to bring the customer back into the store," she explains. "So Apple's going to need to add that to really sweeten the pot for these merchants to turn on Apple Pay."
"Given that we are still in the process of evaluating our mobile payment options, Rite Aid does not currently accept ApplePay," spokeswoman Ashley Flower wrote in an emailed statement. "We are continually evaluating various forms of mobile payment technologies, and are committed to offering convenient, reliable and secure payment methods that meet the needs of our customers."
CVS also said only that it's still evaluating different mobile payment technologies.
But the stores are also part of the Merchant Customer Exchange, which is developing its own payment system called CurrentC. Many analysts believe these stores are blocking Apple Pay to wait for that launch in 2015.
"The best thing you can do if you're waiting for your system to come online and be a competitor is to make sure that there's as much hesitation on part of consumers to adopt that new standard as possible, to buy yourself time so that you can actually compete," says Pai-Ling Yin, a researcher at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.
She says while this was a bad move for Rite Aid and CVS, it might be the right move for CurrentC.
The Ebola fight's HR problem
The federal government and the states are still figuring out just what they should do with health workers who return from treating Ebola patients in West Africa.
And while that question is part logistics and part politics, there is a pretty big human resources question in there, too. How do groups like Doctors Without Borders recruit healthcare workers who are urgently needed to contain the outbreak?
"From the beginning of the outbreak until now, it's been difficult to find people who have the experience, the willingness and the flexibility. It's not an easy ask," says United Nations spokesperson Nyka Alexander.
The U.S. and Britain both plan to build Ebola treatment centers in West Africa. Countries and individuals like Paul Allen along with Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan and Bill and Melinda Gates are pledging millions in aid. And Cuba, China and Ethiopia are among the other nations who are sending teams to West Africa.
But still the World Health Organization says several hundred more foreign medical workers are needed. Guinea, with the highest proportion of doctors among the three affected West African nations, has just 10 physicians per 100,000 people, compared to 240 in the United States.
Everyone agrees the way to keep the American public safe is to beat this virus over there. But no one agrees who should travel across the Atlantic to fight it. Most healthcare workers in the U.S aren't going. Some may worry about getting sick, or wonder whether they have the right skills or think they'll be treated like a pariah when they come back.
Those like Johns Hopkins bioethicist Zackary Berger are sympathetic to the cause. But he questions how much value he would bring, compared to the risks involved.
"I have obligations to my patients. I have obligations to my family. I think I would do most good here," Berger says.
Berger, who is also an epidemiologist, is more qualified than the average healthcare worker to volunteer. Intellectually he gets it; if not him, then whom?
Boston University's Dr. Nahid Bhadelia understands convincing people to do something like this is tricky. Her approach is simple. She tells stories about her 12 days in Sierra Leone, including one about an old man who was so ill he could barely speak.
"I went back in to see if there was somebody to help me move him," she recalls. "And the minute I walked into the ward, this mother walked up to me with her six month old and said, this baby is not feeling well can you help me. And by the time I was done taking care of the child, the old man was already dead."
Bhadelia believes these anecdotes wash away over-dramatized images of people with "blood pouring out of every orifice," and instead capture the daunting reality on the front lines. More than the fear of contacting Ebola, which she experienced, Bhadelia remembers the feeling of helplessness.
When Bhadelia urges people to volunteer, which she does every chance she gets, she doesn't talk about "boots on the ground." Instead, she talks about hands – the lack of hands to help.
That message came through to Dr. Berger at Hopkins. After I mentioned the anecdote about the old man, Dr. Berger said, "it's stories like that that make people shift how they see their obligations," he says, suggesting that he might like to get in touch with Bhadelia.
Bhadelia says perhaps what health workers fear the most about volunteering in Guinea or Liberia is the unknown, whether they really could help stop the spread of Ebola.
She says when she goes around trying to recruit people to join the fight she reminds people that the survival rate is over 50 percent if you catch the virus in time.
You just need enough hands to do it.
The invisible labor that keeps Facebook clean
Social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube have a problem. In a way, it's a good one to have.
The grandma problem.
As social networking has gone mainstream – in other words, "even Grandma is on Facebook" – the seedier side of the web becomes a bigger and bigger problem. Say Grandma logs in to check out new family photos or videos, and then she's bombarded with everything from violent car crashes to the most vile kinds of pornography? Not a good user retention strategy.
Enter the content moderator. She makes sure the really icky stuff the Internet has to offer doesn't show up next to photos of the grand kids. She is part of a massive workforce, which one expert estimates at over 100,000 around the world. Or, 14 times the size of Facebook.
Adrian Chen wrote about content moderators for the November issue of Wired. His reporting took him to the Philippines, where outsourcing firms pay content moderators as little as $300 per month.
"What the companies told me was that people in the Philippines, because of the cultural connection to the U.S., were better-equipped to screen content for American and Western audiences," Chen said.
But no content moderator is well-equipped for the volume of vile content that the screening process entails.
"People get a darker view of humanity," Chen said, adding, "seeing all this abnormal stuff all day gives you a twisted view of what's really going on out there."
The full article, including accounts of some of the terrifying content that moderators see, is at Wired.com.
CVS Pulls Apple Pay, And Many See A Fight Over Mobile Wallets

The numbers for October 27, 2014
With the euro-zone teetering on the edge of another recession, all but 25 of the continent's major banks passed stress tests conducted by the Central Bank. Thirteen of those must make up a 9.5 million euro shortfall.
Italy was the country that fared the worst, with nine of its banks failing the test. The Wall Street Journal picks up the country-by-country breakdown. Overall the report is meant to quell fears about the beleaguered European economy.
This week is heavy with tech earnings again. Twitter reports after the closing bell today and Facebook, tomorrow. In the mean time, here's what we're reading - and the numbers we're watching - Monday.
34That's the number of retailers listed on Apple's website as supporting the company's mobile payment system, which launched a week ago. As the Verge points out, while main banks back the service, eight of the participating retailers are Foot Locker brands and one is Apple itself. Meanwhile, several big stores like CVS, Wal-Mart and Best Buy aren't supporting Apple Pay because they are part of a competing mobile payment system set to launch next year.

$20/hourThat's how much fast food employees make in Denmark, nearly two and a half times what they make in the U.S., the New York Times reported. Some have pointed to the unionized Danish fast food workforce as an example for how American workers should be treated, while others say it's impossible to fairly compare the two countries. The Times cites one study that says half of all fast food workers are on some type of public assistance.

What is a vulnerability?
Judging by initial appearances, our security testing turned up a ton of vulnerabilities – nearly 150 of them. In reality, however, none represented actual issues in the Huawei switch.
Both the security test tools we used – Spirent's Mu-8010 and Rapid7's Metasploit – produce nicely formatted reports explaining each attack. The reports go into detail as to what each attack does, and why the vulnerability would be a problem. "Would be" is the operative phrase here; the reports do not document what actually happened on the switch.
Spirent's Mu tool performs health checks after each SSH fuzzing attack, sending a new, valid SSH connection request to determine if the daemon is still open for business. If the device doesn't respond to the connection request, the Spirent tool flags this as a fault, and tries again. The greater the number of failed retry requests, the higher the confidence level in the fault shown in the Spirent report. Metasploit's reporting is simpler; it tabulates on how many vulnerabilities and cracked passwords it found.
The issue with both approaches is that they report only from the tester's side, not from the switch. Suppose, for example, an SSH overflow attack caused the SSH daemon to be unresponsive for a couple of seconds. That would get flagged as a fault, but it's not the same thing as saying an overflow actually occurred.
The key here is checking the switch, not just the test tool. In the case of a successful overflow attack, logging or other monitoring would show that the attack resulted in privilege escalation, a system hang, or other problems. That kind of checking is essential to complete the picture. That's why we ran additional monitoring, external to our security test tools, to verify the switch's control- and data-plane availability.
Thus, none of the many faults found in security testing were actual vulnerabilities. All they indicated was that the switch's SSH server was busy – and a daemon that can't do additional work shouldn't answer new connection requests, in our view.

If I let you,
— Maynard, Song:Bottom Band:Tool Spoken Word:Henry Rollins
You would make me destroy myself
In order to survive you,
I must first survive myself
I can sink no further
and I cannot forgive you.
There's no choice but to confront,
to engage you,
to erase you.
I've gone to great lengths
to expand my threshold of pain.
I will use my mistakes against you
there's no other choice.
I'm shameless now,
I'm nameless now,
I'm nothing now,
I'm no one now,
But my soul must be iron,
'Cause my fear is naked
I'm naked and fearless
and my fear is naked

Men on the Internet talk about model Jael Lima in reverential tones and it has led some individuals to take the time to research her and find out what was so great about her considering not much has been heard from her recently. Those who know the name understand that only two to three years ago she was on the verge of breaking through as an urban model who potentially could make the move into movies.
As a model she was consistently featured in magazines such as Black Men and SMOOTH magazine and had developed a large fan base because of her unique body. She is only 5 foot 6 inches but she had a very tiny waist and strong, thick, muscular legs that made her a NSFW dream for many of her fans.
She and several other models who had similar 'thick' body proportions were looked at as individuals who might make the breakthrough in the entertainment industry as models turned actors.
As a music video model it was thought that she would translate her popularity into small roles on television and film and work her way up the ranks but after appearing on the covers of some magazines she basically 'fell off the map' and now a search of her on the Internet is almost unable to locate any of her recent work.
However, she is still remembered very fondly by some of her fans and with the large number of independent films being produced and then distributed on the Internet it makes some social media entertainment observers wonder if this is the direction she has taken. The one aspect that distinguishes a model is the attention she generates and if Jael Lima is still in the minds of some of her fans one can imagine the impact she could have in an independent film as a sexy bartender or maybe a 'femme fatale'.
