Wi-Fi Protected Setup
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2012) |
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS; originally Wi-Fi Simple Config) is a network security standard that attempts to allow users to easily secure a wireless home network but could fall to brute-force attacks if one or more of the network's access points do not guard against the attack.[1][2]
Created by the Wi-Fi Alliance and introduced in 2006, the goal of the protocol is to allow home users who know little of wireless security and may be intimidated by the available security options to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access, as well as making it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. Prior to the standard, several competing solutions were developed by different vendors to address the same need.[3]
A major security flaw was revealed in December 2011 that affects wireless routers with the WPS PIN feature, which most recent models have enabled by default. The flaw allows a remote attacker to recover the WPS PIN in a few hours with a brute-force attack and, with the WPS PIN, the network's WPA/WPA2 pre-shared key.[4] Users have been urged to turn off the WPS PIN feature,[5] although this may not be possible on some router models.[6]
The standard emphasizes usability and security, and allows up to four usage modes aimed at a home network user adding a new device to the network:
- PIN method, in which a personal identification number (PIN) has to be read from either a sticker or display on the new wireless device. This PIN must then be entered at the "representant" of the network, usually the network's access point. Alternately, a PIN provided by the access point may be entered into the new device. This method is the mandatory baseline mode and every WPS-certified product must support it.
- Push button method, in which the user has to push a button, either an actual or virtual one, on both the access point and the new wireless client device. Support of this mode is mandatory for access points and optional for connecting devices.
- Near field communication method, in which the user has to bring the new client close to the access point to allow a near field communication between the devices. NFC Forum–compliant RFID tags can also be used. Support of this mode is optional.
- USB method, in which the user uses a USB flash drive to transfer data between the new client device and the network's access point. Support of this mode is optional, but deprecated.
The last two modes are usually referred to as out-of-band methods as there is a transfer of information by a channel other than the Wi-Fi channel itself. Only the first two modes are currently[when?] covered by the WPS certification. The USB method has been deprecated and is not part of the Alliance's certification testing.
A few wireless access points have a dual-function WPS button, so pressing this button for too long can initiate a factory reset of the wireless access point.
Technical architecture[edit]
The WPS protocol defines three types of devices in a network:
- Registrar, a device with the authority to issue and revoke credentials to a network; it may be integrated into a wireless access point (AP), or provided as a separate device
- Enrollee, a device seeking to join a wireless network
- AP, an access point functioning as a proxy between a registrar and an enrollee
The WPS standard defines three basic scenarios that involve components listed above:
- AP with integrated registrar capabilities configures an Enrollee Station (STA)
- In this case, the session will run on the wireless medium as a series of EAP request/response messages, ending with the AP disassociating from the STA and waiting for the STA to reconnect with its new configuration (handed to it by the AP just before).
- Registrar STA configures the AP as an enrollee
- This case is subdivided in two aspects: first, the session could occur on both a wired or wireless medium, and second, the AP could already be configured by the time the registrar found it. In the case of a wired connection between the devices, the protocol runs over Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), and both devices will have to support UPnP for that purpose. When running over UPnP, a shortened version of the protocol is run (only two messages) as no authentication is required other than that of the joined wired medium. In the case of a wireless medium, the session of the protocol is very similar to the internal registrar scenario, but with opposite roles. As to the configuration state of the AP, the registrar is expected to ask the user whether to reconfigure the AP or keep its current settings, and can decide to reconfigure it even if the AP describes itself as configured. Multiple registrars should have the ability to connect to the AP. UPnP is intended to apply only to a wired medium, while actually it applies to any interface to which an IP connection can be set up. Thus, having manually set up a wireless connection, the UPnP can be used over it in the same manner as with the wired connection.
- Registrar STA configures enrollee STA
- In this case the AP stands in the middle and acts as an authenticator, meaning it only proxies the relevant messages from side to side.
The WPS protocol consists of a series of EAP message exchanges that are triggered by a user action, relying on an exchange of descriptive information that should precede that user's action. The descriptive information is transferred through a new Information Element (IE) that is added to the beacon, probe response, and optionally to the probe request and association request/response messages. Other than purely informative type-length-values, those IEs will also hold the possible and the currently deployed configuration methods of the device.
After this communication of the device capabilities from both ends, the user initiates the actual protocol session. The session consists of eight messages that are followed, in the case of a successful session, by a message to indicate that the protocol is completed. The exact stream of messages may change when configuring different kinds of devices (AP or STA), or when using different physical media (wired or wireless).
Band or radio selection[edit]
Some devices with dual-band wireless network connectivity do not allow the user to select the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band (or even a particular radio or SSID) when using Wi-Fi Protected Setup, unless the wireless access point has separate WPS buttons for each band or radio.
Brute-force attack[edit]
In December 2011, researcher Stefan Viehböck reported a design and implementation flaw that makes brute-force attacks against PIN-based WPS feasible to be performed on WPS-enabled Wi-Fi networks. A successful attack on WPS allows unauthorized parties to gain access to the network, and the only effective workaround is to disable WPS.[5] The vulnerability centers around the acknowledgement messages sent between the registrar and enrollee when attempting to validate a PIN, which is an eight-digit number used to add new WPA enrollees to the network. Since the last digit is a checksum of the previous digits,[7] there are seven unknown digits in each PIN, yielding 107 = 10,000,000 possible combinations.
When an enrollee attempts to gain access using a PIN, the registrar reports the validity of the first and second halves of the PIN separately. Since the first half of the pin consists of four digits (10,000 possibilities) and the second half has only three active digits (1000 possibilities), at most 11,000 guesses are needed before the PIN is recovered. This is a reduction by three orders of magnitude from the number of PINs that would be required to be tested. As a result, an attack can be completed in under four hours. The ease or difficulty of exploiting this flaw is implementation-dependent, as Wi-Fi router manufacturers could defend against such attacks by slowing or disabling the WPS feature after several failed PIN validation attempts.[4]
A tool has been developed in order to show that the attack is practically doable.[8] The firm that released the tool, Tactical Network Solutions in Maryland, says that it has known about the vulnerability since early 2011 and has been using it.[9]
In some devices, disabling WPS in the user interface does not result in the feature actually being disabled, and the device remains vulnerable to this attack.[6] Firmware updates have been released for some of these devices so that WPS can be disabled completely. Vendors could also patch the vulnerability by adding a lock-down period if the Wi-Fi access point detects a brute-force attack in progress, which disables the PIN method for long enough to make the attack impractical.[2]
Physical security issues[edit]
All WPS methods are vulnerable to usage by an unauthorized user if the wireless access point is not kept in a secure area. Many wireless access points have security information (if it is factory-secured) and the WPS PIN printed on them; this PIN is also often found in the configuration menus of the wireless access point. If this PIN cannot be changed or disabled, the only remedy is to get a firmware update to enable the PIN to be changed, or to replace the wireless access point.
It is possible to extract a wireless passphrase with the following methods using no special tools:[10]
- A wireless passphrase can be extracted using WPS under Windows Vista and newer versions, under administrative privileges by connecting with this method then bringing up the properties for this wireless network and clicking on "show characters".
- A simple exploit in the Intel PROset wireless client utility can reveal the wireless passphrase when WPS is used, after a simple move of the dialog box which asks if you want to reconfigure this access point.
Keeping wireless access points that are factory-secured or support WPS in a physically secure area, or under video surveillance, should improve the security.

Every day, all over the world, USAID brings peace to those who endure violence, health to those who struggle with sickness, and prosperity to those who live in poverty. It is these individuals — these uncounted thousands of lives — that are the true measure of USAID's successes and the true face of USAID's programs.
María and Juan Pablo* never imagined they would meet face-to-face and reconcile their past. They never dreamed they would find peace after tragedy.
For months, María had been obsessed with avenging the death of her 5-year-old son, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Mexico. She paid no heed to how her vengeful feelings were affecting her life. "I just wanted to find the person who had killed my son and make him pay," she said.
When a hundred provincial government officials and elders assembled in Laghman in eastern Afghanistan, they were conscious of the sensitiveness and importance of their mission. It was their task to keep the peace in a community increasingly roiled by social change. Many families across the province were deeply disapproving of attempts by their wives and daughters to study or find work outside the home.
Galina Boltovskaya is a confident woman in her mid-40s who slings a rifle over her shoulder and a crutch under each arm. She isn't a hunter, but, rather, an enthusiastic guide for a flashy sporting complex in Taldykorgan, Kazakhstan, and an avid marksperson who excels in the 10-meter air rifle shooting event.
When Narindar Singh was killed in a road accident in Ghazni in eastern Afghanistan his grieving family was faced with the biggest question that comes with the death of the breadwinner. Who would provide now that Singh, a hard-working mason and the family's mainstay, was dead? That's when the Afghan Civilian Assistance Program offered to help. From 2007, the Program has helped 12,000 families who have suffered losses because of the presence of U.S. and coalition military forces in Afghanistan.
When Ilirjana Gafurri, a political party activist from Peja, Kosovo, won a seat on her local council six years ago, she became an advocate for issues such as better health care and women's equality in her community. But Gafurri had to struggle to make her voice heard in the predominantly male body, where women are often perceived as being passive or not as qualified.
Wassel Berrayana, director of a company called Proxym-IT, credits his unorthodox hiring policy—recruiting fresh college graduates—with fueling his firm's rapid growth. Whereas many Tunisian employers shy away from recent graduates' lack of experience, Berrayana sees it as a source of initiative and creativity.
With the loss of his mother when he was only 8 years old, Rico Auguste became the primary wage earner for his family, which consisted of himself and his two little brothers. To support his family, Rico was forced to quit school and find work as a porter on a local bus traveling between Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, and Jérémie, a town located in the southwestern tip of Haiti.
Sewage management is one of Afghanistan's biggest environmental and health challenges. Currently, sewage from homes, businesses and industrial sites is discharged directly into the streets and local waterways. Most municipalities have limited or no treatment capacity and so the sewage inevitably enters the groundwater, contaminating wells and spreading disease.

Gee, if I didn't know better, I would guess that's another one of those dumb "Damn Yankee" euphemisms that I find to be so counter-productive. Now that it's been over a century since that word has had any real relevance, perhaps it's time to join the modern world and let crap like that go. It just distracts from any kind of point you're actually trying to make. By the way: "Carpetbagger" is one word. :-) »

SANFORD, N.C. -- After a four-hour rescue effort at a local feed plant Monday afternoon, emergency responders helped a man to safety who had been trapped waist-deep in a silo containing dog food.
Authorities did not identify the man, who got his foot trapped in an auger at H.J. Baker and Bro. on McNeill Road. and then fell about 40 feet into a large vat of dog food being processed at the plant, said Sanford Fire Chief Wayne Barber.
Barber said the man was later airlifted to WakeMed in Raleigh, which sent a helicopter earlier in the afternoon to stand by in case a quick rescue was needed, although the flight appeared to be mainly cautionary. After being rescued, the man was decontaminated for several minutes, and rescue workers began leaving as the helicopter crew waited.
Barber said he saw several abrasions on the man, but didn't know if he had any broken bones from the fall and the subsequent pressure of the dog food in which the worker was buried.
"He had some bruises," Barber said. "I don't know if he had anything broken ... . He had his hard hat on, so there's no head injuries."
The man was also apparently quite dehydrated, Barber said.
He said responders lowered down a respirator to help the man breathe in the hot, dense air, and also lowered a firefighter in to help assess the situation, but they decided not to give him any water.
"Without knowing his situation, whether or not he might lose consciousness, we didn't want any water because we thought it could do more harm than good," Barber said.
Several dozen responders, from local agencies as well as from the Moore County Emergency Medical Services and WakeMed in Raleigh, came out to lend their support after the accident was reported at approximately 1:30 p.m. Barber said they managed to siphon some of the feed out of the mill, allowing them to rescue the man by just after 5 p.m. and get him hosed down.
Barber said after the man was rescued that he wasn't going to release the man's name, leaving it up to the company to do so. However, by late afternoon Monday, no one at the Sanford H.J. Baker could be reached by phone.

Wind Surf Cruise Review by vairolaw: March 17 Windsurf spring break St Maarten - St Maarten BVI

March 17 Windsurf spring break St Maarten - St Maarten BVI
This was our 2nd sailing on this refurbished ship which was an amazing return after 12 years. The ship is a beautiful as ever. From the captain who was very informative, entertaining and "good looking" to the incredible service from all the staff, it ranks as one of the best of over 15 sailings I've been on.
I published various public videos on you tube which show the ship and some of the destinations. This is not a cruise for youngsters or the weak/infirm.
*Cabins - renovated and enough space and enjoyed the free soda and water throughout. The steward, who were rarely saw, kept the place top notch.
*Food dining - we ate at the Restaurant most of the time because they had the best variety but we loved dining under the stars in Candles and on the BBQ night. Breakfast was always delicious and the filet mignon was very good but some of the other beef dishes were tough. The pork and chicken were very good as were the fish dishes and the side dishes and app/dessert. The wait More
staff went overboard to please and make sure everything went well and you were a happy customer.
*Nightlife - the family band playing in the lounge was perfect as was the duo who played on the Compass Rose. Unfortunately we were generally so wiped out that we went to be early many times.
*Excursions - well run and complemented to ports. The staff were informative but did not seem to have the detailed kowledge with "inside tips" if you wanted to deviate from their excursions.
** Overall, we will definitely sail this ship, or maybe try another, in the near future. Less

The South African government is certainly not the first to use microcredit as an avenue with which to tackle development issues, as many governments have prioritised the development of the sector as a way to further job creation and economic growth. In spite of such policies aimed towards the poorer in society, the poorest of the poor are themselves unable to access finance even from microfinance institutions (MFIs) as those costs would still be prohibitive to the economically marginalised. However, it is important to understand that growth in the small and microenterprise sector will ultimately result in employment creation and therefore also poverty alleviation to a degree.
In order to advance the growth strategy, it is important to assess whether the finance advanced is actually reaching the microenterprise or if it is used in setting these up. This does not seem to be the case. The microfinance industry in South Africa is estimated to be R50 billion. Studies have shown that only 6% is loaned to small businesses while the rest are consumer personal loans which are mainly used to buy food and to pay off old loans. It is clear that many consumers are caught up in a seemingly endless cycle of borrowing often made worse by the desperate financial circumstances that the poor face. As a result consumers often approach "loan sharks" or "mashonisas" who are quick to advance loans and require little or no documentation which the more formal MFI's require. MFIs therefore need to build strong relationships with communities and build a reputation for efficiency in delivery of their services.
So the question remains, can microfinance become effective in poverty alleviation, even when offered by the mainstream registered MFIs? Regardless of the provider of the credit, microfinance is always going to be expensive. For MFIs to be financially viable, they have to build in the credit risk and lack of security into their pricing. This results in astronomical interest rates borne by those requiring microcredit; rates which are much higher than those available to the much wealthier. And so, for the poor who end up indebted due to their poverty, they find that their poverty deepens as they try to escape the vicious cycle.
In recent months, there has been increased focus on the In Duplum rule and how it can protect/s consumers, poor and wealthy alike, from the effects of crippling interest charges. The In Duplum rule is deeply rooted in South African common law and indeed has a very strong moral basis imposing a limit on the interest that can be charged on a loan. Interest is capped when the amount equals the outstanding capital; a situation which arises very frequently in the high interest environment of microfinance. However, the practical application of the In Duplum rule remains challenging in many environments. While major banks are refining their systems to ensure compliance, it is doubtful that smaller MFIs have their systems configured to suspend interest once this has reached the level of the outstanding capital. It is likely that even the mechanisms in law designed to alleviate the interest burden will fail the poorest that probably need it the most.
The high cost of credit associated with microfinance is likely to trap the poorest consumers in an endless spiral of debt. As long as finance is granted by private entities they will have to price the credit appropriately to remain in business and unsecured credit cannot be inexpensive even with the highest intentions. It will therefore remain a contentious issue whether microfinance will assist even those who are using the funds to start up micro businesses to advance out of poverty. The case for poverty alleviation will probably be strongest when government funds are used and state MFIs grant finance at highly subsidised rates to individuals looking to set up micro businesses at interest rates that they can actually afford. There is always a cost though and where state subsidisation occurs, the taxpayer will ultimately bear the cost.

Pankraz Vorster
Pankraz Vorster | |
Pankraz Vorster
Born | 31 July 1753 Naples, Italy |
Died | 9 September 1829 (aged 76) Muri, Switzerland |
Occupation | Swiss-bishop |
Pankraz Vorster (July 31, 1753, Naples – 9 September 1829, Muri) was a Swiss abbot. He served as the last abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall from 1796 to 1805.
Pankraz Vorster was born in Naples in an old family of Fürstenland, as the son of Captain Joseph Zacharias Vorster and Countess Anna Maria Rosa Berni. He was raised mainly by his uncle, who was a pastor in Grub and Wittenbach. In 1771, he completed his profession in St. Gallen and then taught Philosophy, Science, and Theology at a school. On July 13, 1777, he was ordained as a Priest. In 1784, he undertook a study trip with Johann Nepomuk Hauntinger to Swabia and Bavaria. In 1785, he led the opposition against Abbot Beda Angehrn. In the eyes of many monks he threatened the existence of the monastery's large investments and his autocratic administration. He was penalized and was moved in September 1788 as 'suboeconomus' in Ebringen, Freiburg im Breisgau, once an enclave. In 1796, Vorster reconciled with Angehrn and returned to St. Gallen.
On June 1, 1796, Vorster was elected abbot and immediately agreed with the efforts for democracy in the dominions of the monastery. In 1797, he had to concede its own seal and ancient right of choice for a magistrate. On February 3, 1798, the chapter arbitrarily dismissed the subjects in the independence, ending the secular rule of the monastery. The last Vogt of the Abbey in the County of Toggenburg, Karl von Müller-Friedberg, had arbitrarily dismissed the Counts of Toggenburg in independence on January 1. On February 14 in Gossau, the Constituent Landsgemeinde "Republic of Free St. Gallen" took place. Vorster moved to Neu-Ravensburg, an exclave North of Lake Constance, and formally raised a protest against the action of his subjects on 3rd March 1798. After the invasion of France, Vorster tried in vain to remove the Abbey from Switzerland with a proclamation on June 9, 1798, so as to rejoin the Holy Roman Empire. With the arrival of the troops of the coalition in St. Gallen, Vorster returned once again on May 26, 1799 to the monastery and began to rebuild the Dominion. He had to flee again on September 29 to Mehrerau after the defeat of the coalition in Zurich.
From his exile, now being in the sphere of influence of Austria, Vorster worked continuously for the recovery of his monastery. Uncompromising, he refused all offers of a restoration of the monastery without sovereignty. In 1803, he sent an emissary to the Helvetic and to the Consulta in Paris, to obtain the restoration of the monastery by Napoleon personally. Despite the assurance in the Act of Mediation that all monasteries should be restored, Karl von Müller-Friedberg prevented St. Gallen being restored to Vorster because of the extensive demands of Vorster and the existence of the newly established canton would have endangered St. Gallen. Nevertheless, Vorster received St. Gallen by the Basel bishop, Franz Xaver von Neveu, on march 6 2001 in Offenburg giving his blessing. It was decided by the Great Council of the Canton of St. Gallen on 8 May 1805 to approve the liquidation of the monastery. Vorster was called "the gravedigger of his monastery" because he prevented any compromise solution.
Vorster remained abbot of the monastery from the perspective of the Catholic Church because the lifting was not Church-sanctioned. In 1814/15 Vorster personally strove at the Congress of Viennafor a recovery of his reign of the monastery, but could only obtain that Congress awarded a pension of 6000 florins to him on November 20, 1815; the canton retained control of St. Gallen. Vorster unsuccessfully attempted, with the support of the pope, to get the affiliation of at least one Diocese of St. Gallen before the Federal Council at Tagsatzung on July 16, 1816. In the same year he moved to Arth. From 1819 he withdrew bitterly into the Muri Abbey, where he died in 1829. Formally, he remained the abbot of Gallen until his death, because the monastery from the perspective of the Catholic Church was abolished in 1845. In 1923 his body was interred in the St. Gallen Cathedral.

'Grenade' Inflatable Pavilion Proposal / SITBON Architectes
Grenade, the proposal for the CityVision Inflatable Pavilion competition, by SITBON Architectes aims to create a relation with its environment. The theme of the pavilion is to think of the city as an immense architecture in constant mobility, by the transformation of its town planning, of the wanderings of its inhabitants, etc. The time dimension becomes essential in this management of the living area. By lauding the mobility, they question the vision of the architecture as a motionless element to in-vest it with another appropriate life, which allows each one to grow, to be transformed and to move.

LINK Solar Power Skyscraper / LED Architecture Studio
Representing the future development of Venice, the LINK Solar Power Skyscraper aims to provide the geographic area of the laguna of Venice with a new landmark: a link between architecture and urbanism, between the ancient city of Venice and the industrial area named Marghera. A link between function and emotion. Designed by LED Architecture Studio, the project is an architecture-infrastructure, a crucial urban development responding to the present and future needs of this locality.

I've just started tracing my tree back and know in the late 1800's we were around S Cheshire Area. My Great Grandfather was called Cornelious and was a school teacher/master. He married Adeline Birbeck and they had 5 children, Claude, Sylvia, Douglas (my Grandfather)Francis Norman and Cecil. I've found three Cornelious Yearsley's in 1881 census, one in Gloucester, one in Cornwall and One in Congleton at 22 Mill Sreet which looks the most promising although I've not established the link. His father was Thomas Yearsley (a leather dealer) born ~1833 and married to Rebecca b~1844 they had 5 other children.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 590 review -
DX11: Battlefield Bad Company 2
DX11: Battlefield Bad Company 2
The Battlefield series has been running for quite a while. The last big entry in the series, Bad Company, was a console exclusive, much to the disappointment of PC gamers everywhere. DICE broke the exclusivity with the sequel, thankfully, and now PC owners are treated to the best Battlefield since Battlefield 2.
The plot follows the four soldiers of Bad Company as they track down a "new" super weapon in development by Russian forces. You might not immediately get that this game is about Bad Company, as the intro mission starts off with a World War II raid, but it all links together in the end.
Next to being a great game for gameplay, it's also an awesome title to test both, graphics cards and processors. The game has native support for DirectX 11 and on the processor testing side of things, parallelized processing supporting two to eight parallel threads, which is great if you have a quad core processor.
We opt to test DX11 solely for this title as we want to look at the most modern performance and image quality. DX11 wise we get as extras, softened dynamic shadows and shader based performance improvements. A great game to play, a great game image quality wise. We raise the bar, image quality settings wise:
- Level: Upriver
- DirectX 11 enabled
- 8x Multi-sample Anti-aliasing
- 16 Anisotropic filtering
- All image quality settings enabled at maximum
Above, we see performance scaling of this game with a variety of DX11 cards at 8xAA and 16xAF. Honestly these are sickeningly good numbers.
In this review we check out the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 960. This product is gorgeous as it is the most silent of all the cards we tested. Next to some fantastic looks the product comes factory...

Slint Confirms Reunion Tour Plans
The reunion of seminal underground rock act Slint has grown into a full-blown tour.
The reunion of seminal underground rock act Slint has grown into a full-blown tour. Following a previously announced Feb. 25-27 run at the U.K.'s All Tomorrow's Parties festival, which the band will curate, Slint will approximately 15 additional dates in North America and Europe.
The trek will begin March 1 at London's Kentish Town Forum, a show that has already sold out. A second show at the venue will be added later this week. Slint will also play March 11 in San Francisco, March 12 in Seattle and March 25-26 at Chicago's Metro and Park West, respectively. Tickets for the North American shows go on sale this weekend.
Slint achieved iconic status thanks to its 1989 debut, "Tweez," and its 1991 follow-up, "Spiderland," both of which revel in an ominous vibe accented by guitar-heavy blasts of aggression, quizzical, whispered lyrics and sudden dynamic shifts. The group disbanded after the release of "Spiderland" but in 1994 issued a self-titled Touch & Go EP recorded in between the two full-lengths.
Slint's current lineup will feature core members David Pajo (Papa M, Zwan), Brian McMahan and Britt Walford. Sources tell Billboard.com that the trio will be joined at the shows by an as-yet-unnamed additional musician.

Prabal Gurung Resort 2013 Pictures
Prabal Gurung Resort 2013
What's Your Reaction?
Thanks for your reaction
Don't forget to share this with your friends!
Prabal Gurung Resort 2013
Prabal Gurung said he "wanted to bring together a juxtaposition of florals and severe angles" when he designed his Resort 2013 collection, and he managed to do just that. Inspired in part by artist Aaron Moran, whose work repurposes decaying found materials, Gurung paired floral prints with sharp lines, both in the graphic elements on his garments and in the way those garments were cut. A number of brightly colored dresses feature hemlines with wedges sliced into them, while the flowers on skirts and other dresses are separated by bands of solid color or have graphic prints superimposed over them. The collection is bold, striking, and, in Gurung's words, "not too cute, not too sweet."

A small introduction about my self
At the age of 20 and after dropping university (Computer Science, ITESM) in Mexico, I decided to move to Canada and study a full-time Digital Design program in order to improve and polish a strong sense of motion and interactivity that I developed during my early years while studying and working part-time as a graphic/web designer at a small web design shop in Monterrey. On August 2005, I started my professional journey to take my skills to the next level by enrolling to the Digital Design program at Vancouver Film School. During graduation at VFS, I earned 3 awards: Best Interaction Design, Best Team project and Best Final project which helped me to land a job at Blast Radius agency as an Interface Developer (Flash developer) and later on, becoming the Paid Media Lead for the Starbucks account. During the following 8 years, I had the opportunity to work on various projects for some high-caliber brands such as: Nike, Disney, Starbucks, BMW, Nokia, Electronic Arts and Hasbro.
On my personal journey of continuous learning, always looking for fresh air and with some entrepreneur feeling on my gut, I decided to launch two independent projects: Perfil Empresarial on 2011 and DP Cinema on 2013 by applying the core knowledge I've developed throughout my professional career. You can visit each project thought these links:
DP Cinema & Perfil EmpresarialWeb design & development / Video production
Image manipulation & optimization for web usage
Fully proficient in OOP and code-based animation
Proficient on the latest web technologies
Video manipulation and basic VFX / compositing
Video editing and audio synching
Proficient using the latest animation techniques
My previous associations
This is a key role in the post-production process where the editor's skill can determine the quality and delivery of the final product. The success of the final product is highly dependent on the creative direction, as well as hand-picking the right music selection for each project. General responsibilities include the assembling of all recorded raw material into a finished product suitable for broadcasting. The material may consist of camera footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects.
Responsible for managing all Paid Media campaigns for the Starbucks account (while working at Blast Radius), making sure that all paid media content is delivered on time and budget. This includes a number of tasks, procedures and protocols to follow to be an efficient liaison between Stretegy, Design, Project Management, Client Services and Development. It is the Paid Media Production Lead's job to make sure this communication between these disciplines is seamless from a technical perspective.
Responsible for building the "face" of an web application with which users interact, bridging the gap between designers and application developers. By applying the core technologies of XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ActionScript, interface developers translate the creative vision into a fully interactive user experience.

What I have done in my academic career
The Digital Design program was a year-long transformation both on a professional and personal level giving me the tools and experience to be able to work on a professional level on the fields of web, animation and video productions.
This foundation helped me to become a specialist in design and development. With just a few years of study, I was able to to form a professional and innovative vision that anticipates technological change to create and provide software solutions in new and dynamic society of digital era. I have the necessary skills to meet the technological requirements of organizations and individuals, using computer as the main tool.

2012 N.B.A Draft Profiles: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
- Updated: June 3, 2012
N.B.A Position: SF
N.B.A Comparison: Scottie Pippen/Gerald Wallace
Measurements: 6 Feet 7 Inches; 228 Pounds; 6 Foot 10 Inch Wingspan
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is player that, I cant say it enough so i'll say it first, is extremely hard working. His primary pros are that he is a lock down on ball defender, possesses great athleticism, better than decent mid-range game and rapidly improving, underrated strength, consistently high effort level, coveted length, great foot speed, great rebounder and an excellent finisher at the rim. His only real cons, coming out of college, were that his jump shot from anywhere was wildly inconsistent but, after a recent preliminary draft workout a lot of scouts are changing their analysis because of the shooting display he put on. If that can translate to in-game situations he will move rapidly up my big board and, with his work ethic, I believe Kidd-Gilchrist can very well do that.
