I never know what to put in the "about me section." I get stuck somewhere between trying to choose the perfect thing to write and properly "selling" myself. Because that's really what the about me section is about. Right? I've come to the conclusion that anything is better than nothing, and that it isn't fair that I look forward to reading other peoples, yet I don't provide input of my own. So here we go, 10 random facts…. 1. I was born & raised in the bay area, and probably will always consider it home. 2. I think it's safe to say that I am very much a girly girl, but I have the worst potty mouth. (sorry mom) 3. I am an avid fan of the question game. 4. Despite what you may take from my appearance or my last name, I am not Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian or any variation. I am actually full Filipino. 5. Depending on the circumstances, I can be a pretty shy person, but once I am comfortable, you'll shortly see that I am very sarcastic. Anyone who could keep up is ideal. 6. I am a single mom. While being a mom is a big part of who I am, it doesn't define me. I know that that may eliminate some of you, but to each his own. 7. I'm a big texter, not to say that I can't carry a conversation or won't talk on the phone. I just enjoy texting. 8. I try and run a 5k 3-5 times a week. In general I enjoy a good workout & eating clean w/the occasional cheat day. 9. 8 times out of 10 if I'm listening to music, it will be some variation of a slow jam. 10. I appreciate someone who has a way with words. Sadly I have found that more often than not, a man may know all the right things to say, but is incapable or has no intention of backing them up. I value the words, but they mean nothing w/out the follow through.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

It is the overall organization of politics and commerce which the Wellesleys of India created that we call as the Government of India today. The spirit of the Subsidiary Alliance is so deeply entrenched into India's political establishment that even to this day, the Government of India considers itself the higher-up who needs to intervene in order to maintain tranquility. The 'kids', i.e., State governments and political parties vying for power at the State level, for their part, have been brainwashed into believing that they need to appeal to this higher-up whenever any quarrel arises.Read More
Nationalism Is Materialism
Taking materialism – dry material transactions with profits and losses – out of nationalism, even for a moment, is taking everything out of it. Adding spirituality to it, on the other hand, actually creates a great danger. This is because nationalism, a method of protecting different peoples from hurting each other, as it were, requires us to descend to the world of materialism, acknowledge that different peoples exist, and recognize them as separate nations in the first place. When we stay put at the spiritual level and talk of everyone belonging to one family, these nations vanish from sight. Unfortunately, so does the intended protection of these nations from one another.Read More
AAP's ideology of cleanliness is not an ideology at all
Despite all assertions to the contrary, operational cleanliness is not a political ideology. Things like abstention from bribery and horse-trading cannot be bullet points in an ideological document. They can only be bullet points in a party's code of conduct – how it behaves on the path to achieve ideological goals. Ideology is the direction in which the vehicle moves when it's roadworthy, not roadworthiness itself.Read More
The Law Cannot Prevent Rape
The law pretends to be many things, including being good enough for all those who are required to submit to it. Those who make laws would like us to think of them as the complete solution to public problems. They'd like us to believe that we, the people, can't come up with any useful solutions ourselves. But we must be wiser. We must understand what the law can never do. It can never guarantee protection from rape.Read More
Generalization Is Inevitable When Talking Meaningfully about India
Prof S. N. Balagangadhara's argument that the Europeans described their experience of India and not India itself is obviously right. It is only from the frame of reference of one's own culture that anyone can describe what one sees in the world. The observer is intimately connected to the observation. It is only from the frame of reference of their culture that the Europeans saw and talked about Hinduism, the caste system, etc. I'd like to submit here that the Europeans had another important compulsion over and above their culture: the need to generalize what they saw.Read More
Understanding Rape as a Statistical Phenomenon
If the statistical occurrence of burglary can be discouraged by building houses in a certain way, then the statistical occurrence of rape can be discouraged by women dressing in a certain way. I have seen many who take this argument to be an approval of the criminal mind housed in a rapist, or an argument to curtail the freedom of women, but that is a mistake.Read More
An Alternate Way To Run India's Finances
Neither the own money nor the aid money of the States needs to be collected by the Centre. It can simply get out of this whole business of collecting and distributing money. Each State can collect all the money it needs from its own people, and we can call this as state money. In case there are States that send in any aid, it can simply be added to this and utilized with thanks.Read More
No Mr. Modi, Tax Devolution To States Won't Make Centre Much Poorer
While it is true that the Finance Commission has recommended a 10% increase in the share of the states in the divisible pool, it is not true that the award leaves 'far less money with the Central Government' if the Centre's finances are considered as a whole, i.e., including money not in the divisible pool.Read More
India Needs a New Economics
Indian economists have always been tempted to enter the fray and come up with their own answers to these questions. But their answers lack originality because they end up taking one or the other side of the already established bipolar intellectual space consisting of two isms: capitalism and socialism. Of course, this side-taking, this lack of originality, is not a problem in itself. Every problem in the world doesn't require original thinking. However, our economists take sides without understanding the fundamental assumption on whose basis the bipolar economic intellectual space has come to be in the first place: the assumption of a particular kind of state.Read More
What Would Adam Smith Think of Our Budget?
"The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with most unnecessary attention but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of man who have folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it."Read More

RPM International Inc. (Medina, Ohio) acquired Viapol Ltda., a major Brazilian manufacturer and marketer of building materials and construction products.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Based in Cacapava, Brazil, near Sao Paulo, Viapol has annual sales of approximately $85 million and was started in 1990.
Viapol will become part of The Euclid Chemical Group, a unit of RPM's Building Solutions Group that serves construction and rehabilitation markets worldwide.
"The acquisition of Viapol establishes a substantial footprint for RPM and our many industrial and consumer businesses in the exciting Brazilian market, which is the largest economy in South America, and now the sixth largest economy in the world," said Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO.
Viapol's products are described as brand leaders in the Brazilian market and include rolled-asphalt roofing materials, waterproofing products, concrete admixtures, industrial epoxy flooring systems, structural recovery products, and retail paints, varnishes and stains, RPM said.
The company has more than 300 employees, nearly 125 independent sales representatives and two ISO 9000-certified manufacturing facilities in Brazil.
"As part of RPM, we expect that Viapol will build on many of our current technologies, enabling it to introduce new products, while leveraging its existing customer base for additional growth opportunities," Sullivan said. "We look forward to having the Viapol management team, led by Ariovaldo Jose Torelli and Alexandre Racz, join RPM."
The Viapol deal is latest in a series of acquisitions by RPM. Recent moves include the acquisition of HiChem Paint Technologies Pty. Ltd. (Hallam, Australia), Legend Brands (Burlington, Wash.), Grupo P&V (Barcelona, Spain), and FEMA Farben + Putze GmbH (Ettlington, Germany).
RPM International Inc. is a holding company that owns subsidiaries in the specialty coatings, sealants, building materials, and related markets. Brands include Stohnard, Tremco, Illbruck, Carboline, Flowcrete, Zinsser, Rust-Oleum, DAP, Varathane, and others.
The company will report fourth-quarter earnings and year-end results July 23.

This study reports the validation of a noninvasive method for repeated assessment of testosterone from infant fecal samples.
Fecal samples were collected from cotton diaper liners, subjected to methanol extraction, and assayed using a modified commercial testosterone RIA kit.
Method validity was supported by a recovery near 100%, a sensitivity of 1.23 pg/ml, and inter- and intra-assay coefficients of variations less than 10 and 15%, respectively. Testosterone was detected in all samples from male and female infants aged 2 weeks to 15 months.
Fecal assessment is supported as a novel, non-invasive tool for studying testosterone during early human development. Am. J. Hum. Biol., 2011. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

This is a place where bluebells are found in an ancient Iron Age hillfort site in England – it is a paradise for everyone – such a happy sight to see people enjoying themselves amongst the bluebells and trees in Springtime.
I use a LUMIX Panasonic point and shoot dijital camera
Hillfort in Devon
In Prehistoric Hillforts in Devon, this one is described as'important' and with 'an unusual entrance'. The excavation in 1952-54 by the Devon Archaeological Society showed that the main gate had been an imposing structure.
Inside is very cool and peaceful, with a cathedral-like canopy of tall trees. The enclosing banks are still well-defined, and at the southern entrance you are still able to see the unusual layout of defensive banks. The land falls away down the slope of the hill here.
The oval enclosure of about 2 hectares now in open woodland straddles a 180m steep-sided Greensand ridge capped with clay and flints. It was defended by a substantial rampart and ditch, with one entrance facing the southern slopes; other gaps are recent. A triangular earthwork was added screening the gate – the so-called barbican entrance; it contained a central embanked passageway with a compartment on either side, probably used as stock pens.
Excavation showed that the main gate had been an imposing structure. The rounded rampart ends projected forward and were built up with flint nodules, retained by a timber palisade. Deep post-holes indicated the gate, probably with a bridge to link the ramparts. There was a second timber gateway at the entrance to the barbican. In the interior, the post-holes of a rectilinear hut were uncovered with a cooking pit nearby. Iron slag from the local limonite ores, whetstones and spindle whorls were found along with more than 1,200 sling stones. The pottery included decorated Glastonbury ware and some earlier plain Iron Age wares indicating that the fort was in use from the early 3rd century BC onwards."

Recycled Fibers for Classroom Crafts?
My students are working on a community service project to bring awareness for recycling fibers. We plan to have a store the second week of December. The store will have donated jeans and other clothing items. The students will be given an opportunity to "barter" recycled items like alumninum cans, shopping bag, plastic bottles, etc. to purchase the items in the store. I would really like to include crafty items like the pocket books made from jeans, pillows made from recycled fiber clothing, etc. I have seen the pockets be used for note holders to hand on the frig and placements made from jean pockets. Any other suggestions?
Does it have to just be recycled fabic or can it be other items too? I can't remember what this is called. Maybe someone else could help out and give better instructions. You take a three pound coffe can and paint it white with a snowman face. Inside you put things like gloves scarves, something painted orange for the nose, some black shapes for the eyes, mouth, buttons. Then you put a stocking cap over the outside of a can. You then have everything to make your snowman the next time it snows.
Assuming the kids have access to a sewing machine, ragged quilts can be made fairly quick. Here are the basic instructions. If you make the quilt squares bigger and make a lap quilt or baby size quilt, it would be quicker. http://www.craftsofchaddsford.com/makeragquilt.htm
If someone knows how to crochet, they could make a rag rug from strips of fabric. http://vintagechica.typepad.com/the_life_and_times_of_thi/2006/10/index.html
I like the idea of making a hat from recycled fabric and old buttons, simple fabric flowers or something fun like a monster head. If you google hat patterns, you will find all kinds of patterns. They can be dressed up or down and be really simple. I think it'd be a fun project.
Great suggestions adellabedella! I have a couple of the rugs I purchased at a local gas station (crafted by someone in the community) and they are not only beautiful but have lasted for a number of years...maybe I can use those to display. I will try the lap quilt over the holidays. That would be an easy project for the students. I love the snowman project! Our project will focus on fabric like denim and other things made from cottons,etc. The point is to teach that there are sustainable options even in the things we wear! Once again, thanks!
I'm alway looking for ways to recycle some of the fabrics from clothes, bedding, curtains, etc that don't fit into my life anymore. Here are a few more ideas.

A group which tries to protect the morals of strictly Orthodox Jews has identified a new spiritual threat - bicycle lanes.
The Va'ad Lema'an Toihar Hamachaneh - "committee for the purity of the camp" - has not spelt out why a cycle route running through Hackney, the north London borough with the capital's largest Charedi population, would be "a danger to the spirituality and character of our ne
The death last week of the nonagenarian president of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, Rabbi Elchonon Halpern, not only deprived Golders Green of one of its most influential post-war Jewish figures, it marked the passing of the area's Charedi old guard.
A senior Israeli rabbi revealed that he destroyed a student's iPhone because of the device's supposed spiritual dangers, according to an audio recording that has just surfaced.
Charedi media claimed to have found the recording of a sermon by Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef in which he argued that smartphone usage was enough to invalidate a marriage.
The Chasid who made a film about masturbation has said that he was caught off-guard by the massive interest that it generated.
"I'm surprised because I didn't realise that it would interest people around the world," said Ori Gruder.
Manchester communal charities fear the impact on services of the swingeing budget cuts proposed by Salford City Council, saying they are "being hit from all angles".
Salford - which has had its government funding reduced by £118 million since 2011 - has announced plans to slash £56 million from its budget over the next two years, includiing a £32.5 million reduction for 2015.
The major Ma
An independent Chasidic school in Stamford Hill, north London, has received a glowing report from Ofsted.
Talmud Torah Machzikei Hadass, which is run by the Belz Chasidic group with 533 boys aged from three to 16, was rated good overall.
The behaviour of pupils as well as the schools' attention to their care and safety was ranked outstanding, as was its early years section.
A Jewish leader in Antwerp has said the community feels "fragile" after a Charedi man was stabbed on his way to synagogue this weekend.
Yehosha Malik, 31, was attacked by a man who reportedly targeted his victim after exiting a bar early on Saturday morning.
Representatives of the non-Charedi communities in the town of Beit Shemesh, to the west of Jerusalem, are lobbying to split the municipality into two separate entities - one for the strictly Orthodox and one for the others.
The move comes seven months after Shas's Moshe Abutbul was re-elected as mayor in a second round of elections following claims of voter fraud last year.
When Moshe Friedman was trying to get a high-tech start-up off the ground, a potential investor raised a concern. The funder was worried that because Mr Friedman is strictly-Orthodox, he would not be able to stop himself from taking the funds and giving them to charity.
Mr Friedman came up against such prejudice on several occasions while building up his video-editing company.
After the government's inquiry into alleged Islamist extremism in Birmingham schools, Jewish educators will be keeping a close watch on what Ofsted does next. Will the inspection service seek to counter religious sectarianism more widely?

No matter what you do, modern liberals will tell you you're wrong.
Rahm Emanuel, current mayor of my old hometown, Chicago, is not a gentle soul. But he's smarter than his big-spending predecessor, Richard M. Daley, and the union pawn, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, who becomes the new mayor if he beats Emanuel in a run-off election April 7.
Emanuel was the tough Obama chief of staff who reportedly stabbed a table with a steak knife as he listed political enemies.
Donald Trump's kids and Paris Hilton's siblings were born rich. That gave them a big advantage in life. Unfair!
Inequality in wealth has grown. Today the richest 1 percent of Americans own a third of the assets. That's not fair!
But wherever people are free, that's what happens.
A new documentary calls colleges like Harvard and Notre Dame "The Hunting Ground," where rapists prey on women. A bipartisan group of senators demand new rules to "curb campus sexual assaults."
Apparently, new laws are needed because at colleges, sexual assault is "epidemic." Rape is so common that there is a "rape culture."
Lots of people sure hate the Koch brothers.
For years, people assumed encyclopedias had to be created by professionals. Then Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales attempted to create an encyclopedia without central planners.
Most of life happens without a central planner. Yet people think we need one.
Politicians and lawyers pretend that they are important people doing important work. But often they're important because they are parasites. They feed off others, while creating no wealth of their own.
For most of history, people suffered in miserable poverty.
Then, in a few hundred years, some new ideas made life hugely better for billions of us -- things like running water, the printing press, the steam engine, electricity, the Internet.
We want people to keep coming up with new and better ideas. But there's a problem: Why would you bother to spend years inventing something if other people can just steal your idea? Who will devote years and millions of dollars to making a big movie? Or a dozen years and billions of dollars to bringing a new drug to market? Almost no one.
President Obama sure is consistent. His State of the Union address sounded like his other speeches: What I've done is great! America is in a much better position. We've created a manufacturing sector that's adding jobs. More oil is produced at home. I cut deficits in half!

Singh replaces J.P. Agarwal, who resigned after the Assembly poll debacle
A fortnight after the party faced its worst-ever defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections, Congress president Sonia Gandhi appointed former Minister Arvinder Singh as the president of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee on Thursday.
Mr. Singh replaces J. P. Agarwal, who resigned over a week ago taking "moral responsibility" for the drubbing in the recent elections. Mr. Agarwal had quit soon after Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit blamed the party's State unit for not extending the required support to her in the election campaign.
Mr. Singh, who has been a part of Ms. Dikshit's Cabinet since 2003 and handled a number of key portfolios like Transport, Education and Revenue, is considered close to the outgoing Chief Minister.
According to sources, the balance tilted in favour of the three-time MLA from Gandhi Nagar in East Delhi due to the tag of being a "performer" and being relatively younger than other senior leaders who were in the reckoning for the top post.
"He carries the image of being more connected to the people. He is considered a performer, especially during the tenure as Education Minister. He is in his mid-forties. So the decision is also guided by the party's newfound mantra of promoting Generation Next. Moreover, central leaders like Ajay Maken and Krishna Tirath would not be willing to take the responsibility of Delhi Congress at this stage," said a senior Congress leader. The decision would also send a message to the "politically significant" Sikh and Punjabi community in the city, he added.
Congress-backed Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) had lost heavily in the recent elections of the Delhi Gurdwara Management Committee.
Speaking to The Hindu , Mr. Singh said making the party reach out to the youth would be on top of his agenda. "We will target the youth. The party will soon launch an outreach programme to connect with the youngsters. We will launch a door-to-door programme to reconnect with the voters," he said, adding that he would consult with all the senior leaders of the DPCC and the AICC in his initiatives to strengthen the party.
The former Minister targeted the Aam Aadmi Party for not making its stand clear on government formation and said the Arvind Kejriwal-led party emerged victorious as the Congress failed to expose the AAP's "false promises" made to the electorate. "We will convey the reality to the people and expose the propaganda they ran against us," he added.
The Congress was thrown out of power after 15 years and the party could win only eight Assembly seats, in comparison to 43 in the 2008 polls.

E. Guigal Ex Voto Rouge 2007
E. Guigal - Rhone Valley - France - Crozes Hermitage
Professional Wine Reviews for E. Guigal Ex Voto Rouge 2007Read More... Additional information »
2007 was the year that saw California's wine industry pick up once again, after a troubling couple of years. Indeed, all across the state of California, fantastic harvests were reported as a result of fine weather conditions throughout the flowering and ripening periods, and Napa Valley and Santa Barbera wines were widely considered amongst the best in the world in 2007, with Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes packing in all sorts of fine and desirable features in this year. South Africa, too, had a much-needed fantastic year for red wines, with Pinotage particularly displaying strong characteristics, alongside the country's other flagship red wine grape varietals. Over in Europe, France had another fine year, especially for white wines. Champagne wineries were very happy with their Chardonnay harvests, and the Loire Valley and Graves in Bordeaux are proclaiming 2007 to be a memorable year due to the quality of their white wine grapes. For French red wines, Provence had their best year for almost a decade, as did the Southern Rhone. However, 2007 was most favorable to Italy, who saw high yields of exceptional quality across almost all of their major wine producing regions. Tuscany is claiming to have produced its best Chianti and Brunello wines for several years in 2007, and Piedmont and Veneto had a wonderful year for red wines. For Italian white wines, 2007 was an extremely successful year for Alto Adige and Campania. Germany also had a very good 2007, with Riesling displaying extremely dry and crisp characteristics, as did Portugal, where Port wine from 2007 is said to be one to collect.
Whilst there remains plenty of debate over which is the 'correct' name for the Shiraz/Syrah grape varietal, nobody is in any doubt about the influence and popularity this grape has had over recent decades. For centuries, this varietal has been used in single variety and blended wines in the regions of France it is most closely associated with, yet the 20th century saw it become one of the definitive grape varietals of New World red wines, where its big, robust character and spicy, berry-rich flavors proved to be a hit with international audiences. Today, Shiraz/Syrah is said to be the seventh most widely planted grape varietal in the world, and is used for a remarkably wide variety of quality red wines including still, sparkling and fortified varieties.
The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Any project that wants to meet PCI compliance has to ensure that the data is encrypted whilst in flight and at rest. Amongst many other other requirements all passwords in configuration files have to be encrypted
This Gem helps achieve compliance by supporting encryption of data in a simple and consistent way
Symmetric Encryption uses OpenSSL to encrypt and decrypt data, and can therefore expose all the encryption algorithms supported by OpenSSL.
Many solutions that encrypt data require the encryption keys to be stored in the applications source code or leave it up to the developer to secure the keys on the application servers. symmetric-encryption takes care of securing the symmetric encryption keys.
The following steps are used to secure the symmetric encryption keys using symmetric-encryption:
- Symmetric Encryption keys are stored in files that are not part of the application, its source code, or even stored in its source control system. These files can be created, managed and further secured by System Administrators. This prevents developers having or needing to have access to the symmetric encryption keys
- The Operating System security features limit access to the Symmetric Encryption key files to System Administrators and the userid under which the Rails application runs.
- The files in which the Symmetric Encryption keys are stored are further encrypted using RSA 2048 bit encryption
In order for anyone to decrypt the data being encrypted in the database, they would need access to ALL of the following: * A copy of the files containing the Symmetric Encryption Keys which are secured by the Operating System * The application source code containing the RSA private key to decrypt the above files * The userid and password for the database to copy the encrypted data itself, or an unsecured copy or export of the database contents
A major feature of symmetric encryption is that it makes the encryption and decryption automatically available when the Rails application is started. This includes all rake tasks and the Rails console. In this way data can be encrypted or decrypted as part of any rake task.
From a security perspective it is important then to properly secure the system so that no hacker can switch to and run as the rails user and thereby gain access to the encryption and decryption capabilities
It is not necessary to encrypt the IV (initialization vector), and it can be placed directly in the configuration file. The encryption key must be kept secure and must never be placed in the configuration file or other Rails source file in production. The IV should be generated using the rails generator described below to ensure it is a truly random key from the key space.
By default symmetric encryption uses the same initialization vector (IV) and encryption key to encrypt data using the SymmetricEncryption.encrypt call. This technique is required in cases where the encrypted data is used as a key to lookup for example a Social Security Number, since for the same input data it must always return the same encrypted result. The drawback is that this technique is not considered secure when encypting large amounts of data.
For non-key fields, such as storing encrypted raw responses, use the :random_iv => true option where possible so that a randomly generated IV is used and included in every encrypted string.
The Symmetric Encryption streaming interface SymmetricEncryption::Writer avoids this problem by using a random IV and key in every file/stream by default. The random IV and key are stored in the header of the output stream so that it is available when reading back the encrypted file/stream. The key is placed in a header on the file in encrypted form using the current global key/cipher.
The ActiveRecord attr_encrypted method supports the :random_iv => true option. Similarly for MongoMapper and Mongoid the :random_iv => true option can be added.
Note that encrypting the same input string with the same key and :random_iv => true option will result in different encrypted output every time it is encrypted.
- Encryption of passwords in configuration files
- Encryption of ActiveRecord model attributes by prefixing attributes / column names with encrypted_
- Encryption of MongoMapper keys by using :encrypted_key
- Encryption of Mongoid model fields by adding :encrypted option to field definitions
- Externalization of symmetric encryption keys so that they are not in the source code, or the source code control system
- Validator for ActiveRecord Models to ensure fields contain encrypted data
- Stream based encryption and decryption so that large files can be read or written with encryption, along with a random key and IV for every file
- Stream based encryption and decryption also supports compression and decompression on the fly
- When :compress => true option is specified Symmetric Encryption will transparently compress the data prior to decryption. When decrypting compressed data Symmetric Encryption will transparently decompress the data after decryption based on the header stored in the encrypted data
- Uses built-in support in Ruby for OpenSSL and Zlib for high performance and maximum portability without introducing any additional dependencies
- Drop in replacement for attr_encrypted. Just remove the attr_encrypted gem
- For maximum security supports fully random keys and initialization vectors extracted from the entire encryption key space
Add the encryption header to all encrypted strings. See the always_add_header option in the configuration file.
random_iv: truefor all ActiveRecord attributes, MongoMapper keys, and Mongoid fields which are not used in indexes and will not be used as part of a query.
Binary Data
On decryption an attempt is made to encode the data as UTF-8, if it fails it will be returned as BINARY encoded.
Encryption Example
SymmetricEncryption.encrypt "Sensitive data"
Decryption Example
SymmetricEncryption.decrypt "JqLJOi6dNjWI9kX9lSL1XQ==\n"
ActiveRecord Example
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Requires table users to have a column called encrypted_bank_account_number
attr_encrypted :bank_account_number
# Requires users table to have a column called encrypted_social_security_number
# Note: Encrypting the same value twice will result in the _same_ encrypted value
# when :random_iv => false, or is not specified
attr_encrypted :social_security_number
# By specifying the type as :integer the value will be returned as an integer and
# can be set as an integer, even though it is stored in the database as an
# encrypted string
# Requires users table to have a column called encrypted_age of type string
attr_encrypted :age, type: integer
# Since string and long_string are not used in the where clause of any SQL
# queries it is better to ensure that the encrypted value is always different
# by encrypting every value with a random Initialization Vector.
# Note: Encrypting the same value twice will result in different encrypted
# values when :random_iv is true
attr_encrypted :string, random_iv: true
# Long encrypted strings can also be compressed prior to encryption to save
# disk space
attr_encrypted :long_string, random_iv: true, compress: true
# By specifying the type as :json the value will be serialized to JSON
# before encryption and deserialized from JSON after decryption.
# It is sometimes useful to use compression on large fields, so we can enable
# compression before the string is encrypted
# Requires users table to have a column called encrypted_values of type string
attr_encrypted :values, type: :json, compress: true
validates :encrypted_bank_account_number, symmetric_encryption: true
validates :encrypted_social_security_number, symmetric_encryption: true
# Create a new user instance assigning a bank account number
user = User.new
user.bank_account_number = '12345'
# Saves the bank_account_number in the column encrypted_bank_account_number in
# encrypted form
# Short example using create
User.create(bank_account_number: '12345')
Several types are supported for ActiveRecord models when encrypting or decrypting data. Each type maps to the built-in Ruby types as follows:
- :string => String
- :integer => Integer
- :float => Float
- :decimal => BigDecimal
- :datetime => DateTime
- :time => Time
- :date => Date
- :json => Uses JSON serialization, useful for hashes and arrays
- :yaml => Uses YAML serialization, useful for hashes and arrays
MongoMapper Example
To encrypt a field in a MongoMapper document, use
encrypted_key instead of
when specifying a key.
field :encrypted_age, type: String, encrypted: {type: :integer}
# User model MongoMapper
class User
include MongoMapper::Document
key :name, String
encrypted_key :bank_account_number, String
encrypted_key :social_security_number, String
encrypted_key :life_history, String, encrypted: { random_iv: true, compress: true }
# Encrypted fields are _always_ stored in Mongo as a String
# To get the result back as an Integer, Symmetric Encryption will automatically
# perform the necessary conversions
encrypted_key :integer_value, Integer
encrypted_key :float_value, Float
encrypted_key :decimal_value, BigDecimal
encrypted_key :datetime_value, DateTime
encrypted_key :time_value, Time
encrypted_key :date_value, Date
encrypted_key :true_value, Boolean
encrypted_key :data_json, Hash, encrypted: {random_iv: true, compress: true}
# By default Hash is saved as JSON, to save as YAML add the type specifier:
encrypted_key :data_yaml, Hash, encrypted: {random_iv: true, compress: true, type: :yaml}
# Optionally add validation to ensure that encrypted fields are in fact encrypted
# before the data is saved
validates :encrypted_bank_account_number, symmetric_encryption: true
validates :encrypted_social_security_number, symmetric_encryption: true
# Create a new user document
User.create(bank_account_number: '12345')
# When finding a document, always use the encrypted form of the field name
user = User.where(encrypted_bank_account_number: SymmetricEncryption.encrypt('12345')).first
# Fields can be accessed using their unencrypted names
puts user.bank_account_number
Mongoid Example
To encrypt a field in a Mongoid document, just add "encrypted: true" at the end of the field specifier. The field name must currently begin with "encrypted_"
# User model in Mongoid
class User
include Mongoid::Document
field :name, type: String
field :encrypted_bank_account_number, type: String, encrypted: true
field :encrypted_social_security_number, type: String, encrypted: true
field :encrypted_life_history, type: String, encrypted: {compress: true, random_iv: true}
# Encrypted fields are _always_ stored in Mongo as a String
# To get the result back as an Integer, Symmetric Encryption can do the
# necessary conversions by specifying the internal type as an option
# to :encrypted
# #see SymmetricEncryption::COERCION_TYPES for full list of types
field :encrypted_age, type: String, encrypted: {type: :integer}
# Create a new user document
User.create(bank_account_number: '12345')
# When finding a document, always use the encrypted form of the field name
user = User.where(encrypted_bank_account_number: SymmetricEncryption.encrypt('12345')).first
# Fields can be accessed using their unencrypted names
puts user.bank_account_number
Validation Example
class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :encrypted_ssn, symmetric_encryption: true
m = MyModel.new
# => false
m.encrypted_ssn = SymmetricEncryption.encrypt('123456789')
# => true
Encrypting Passwords in configuration files
Passwords can be encrypted in any YAML configuration file.
For example config/database.yml
adapter: mysql
host: db1w
database: myapp_production
username: admin
password: <%= SymmetricEncryption.try_decrypt "JqLJOi6dNjWI9kX9lSL1XQ==\n" %>
Note: Use SymmetricEncryption.try_decrypt method which will return nil if it fails to decrypt the value, which is essential when the encryption keys differ between environments
Note: In order for the above technique to work in other YAML configuration files the YAML file must be processed using ERB prior to passing to YAML. For example
config_file = Rails.root.join('config', 'redis.yml')
raise "redis config not found. Create a config file at: config/redis.yml" unless config_file.file?
cfg = YAML.load(ERB.new(File.new(config_file).read).result)[Rails.env]
raise("Environment #{Rails.env} not defined in redis.yml") unless cfg
Large File Encryption
Example: Read and decrypt a line at a time from a file
SymmetricEncryption::Reader.open('encrypted_file') do |file|
file.each_line do |line|
puts line
Example: Encrypt and write data to a file
SymmetricEncryption::Writer.open('encrypted_file') do |file|
file.write "Hello World\n"
file.write "Keep this secret"
Example: Compress, Encrypt and write data to a file
SymmetricEncryption::Writer.open('encrypted_compressed.zip', compress: true) do |file|
file.write "Hello World\n"
file.write "Compress this\n"
file.write "Keep this safe and secure\n"
Standalone test
Before generating keys we can use SymmetricEncryption in a standalone test environment:
# Use test encryption keys
SymmetricEncryption.cipher = SymmetricEncryption::Cipher.new(
key: '1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF',
iv: '1234567890ABCDEF',
cipher_name: 'aes-128-cbc'
encrypted = SymmetricEncryption.encrypt('hello world')
puts SymmetricEncryption.decrypt(encrypted)
Rake Tasks
For PCI compliance developers should not be the ones creating or encrypting passwords. The following rake tasks can be used by system administrators to generate and encrypt passwords for databases, or external web calls. It is safe to pass the encrypted password for say MySQL to the developers who can then put it in the config files which are kept in source control.
Generate a random password and display its encrypted form:
rake symmetric_encryption:random_password
Encrypt a known value, such as a password:
rake symmetric_encryption:encrypt
Note: Passwords must be encrypted in the environment in which they will be used. Since each environment should have its own symmetric encryption keys
Note: To use the rake task 'symmetric_encryption:encrypt' the gem 'highline' must first be installed by adding to bundler or installing directly:
gem install 'highline'
Encrypt a file
INFILE="Gemfile.lock" OUTFILE="Gemfile.lock.encrypted" rake symmetric_encryption:encrypt_file
Encrypt and compress a file
INFILE="Gemfile.lock" OUTFILE="Gemfile.lock.encrypted" COMPRESS=1 rake symmetric_encryption:encrypt_file
Decrypt a file encrypted and optionally compressed using symmetric encryption
INFILE="Gemfile.lock.encrypted" OUTFILE="Gemfile.lock2" rake symmetric_encryption:decrypt_file
When decrypting a compressed file it is not necessary to specify whether the file was compressed since the header embedded in the file will indicate whether it was compressed
The file header also contains a random key and iv used to encrypt the files contents. The key and iv is encrypted with the global encryption key being used by the symmetric encryption installation.
- Ruby 1.9.3 (or above) Or, JRuby 1.7.3 (or above)
- Optional: To log to MongoDB, Mongo Ruby Driver 1.5.2 or above
Add to an existing Rails project
Add the following line to Gemfile
gem 'symmetric-encryption'
Install the Gem with bundler
bundle install
Rails Configuration
If deploying to Heroku skip to the section "Rails Configuration for a Heroku deployment" below
Creating the configuration file
The configuration file contains the path to the production encryption key files. Generally in development and test the files are not created, so supply the full path to these files in production. Once the config file has been generated it can be modified as needed.
Generate the configuration file:
rails generate symmetric_encryption:config /etc/rails/keys
Note: Ignore the warning about "Symmetric Encryption config not found" since it is being generated
Save to version control
This configuration file should be checked into the source code control system. It does Not include the Symmetric Encryption keys. They will be generated in the next step.
Generating and securing the Symmetric Encryption keys
Once development and testing is complete we need to generate secure encryption key files for production. It is recommended that the step below be run on only one of the production servers. The generated key files must then be copied to all the production web servers.
Note: Do not run this step more than once, otherwise new keys will be generated and any encrypted data will no longer be accessible.
Note: Do not run this step on more than one server in each environment otherwise each server will be encrypting with it's own key and the servers will not be able to decrypt data encrypted on another server. Just copy the generated files to each server
The symmetric encryption key consists of the key itself and an optional initialization vector.
To generate the keys run the following Rake task once only in each environment:
rails generate symmetric_encryption:new_keys production
Replace 'production' as necessary for each environment.
Make sure that the current user has read and write access to the folder listed in the config file option key_filename.
Note: Ignore the warning about the key files "not found or readable" since they are being generated
Once the Symmetric Encryption keys have been generated, secure them further by making the files read-only to the Rails user and not readable by any other user. Change ownership of the keys to the rails user and only give it access to read the key files:
chown rails /etc/rails/keys/*
chmod 0400 /etc/rails/keys/*
Change 'rails' above to the userid under which your Rails processes are run and update the path to the one supplied when generating the config file or look in the config file itself
When running multiple Rails servers in a particular environment copy the same key files to every server in that environment. I.e. All Rails servers in each environment must run the same encryption keys.
Note: The generate step above must only be run once in each environment
Rails Configuration for a Heroku deployment
Deploying to Heroku requires the encrypted key to be stored in an environment variable rather than as a file on disk.
Generate the configuration file:
rails g symmetric_encryption:heroku_config
Note: Ignore the warning about "Symmetric Encryption config not found" since it is being generated.
Note: The encrypted keys for the release and production environments are displayed on screen and must be entered manually as environment variables into Heroku so that the application can find them when it starts.
Save to version control
This configuration file should be checked into the source code control system. It does Not include the Symmetric Encryption keys.
Using in non-Rails environments
SymmetricEncryption can also be used in non-Rails environment.
Install SymmetricEncryption
gem install symmetric-encryption
Manually create a symmetric-encryption.yml configuration file based on the one supplied in examples/symmetric-encryption.yml.
At application startup, run the code below to initialize symmetric-encryption prior to attempting to encrypt or decrypt any data
require 'symmetric-encryption'
SymmetricEncryption.load!('config/symmetric-encryption.yml', 'production')
- Filename of the configuration file created above
- Name of the environment to load the configuration for
To manually generate the symmetric encryption keys, run the code below
require 'symmetric-encryption'
SymmetricEncryption.generate_symmetric_key_files('config/symmetric-encryption.yml', 'production')
- Filename of the configuration file created above
- Name of the environment to load the configuration for
Supporting Multiple Encryption Keys
According to the PCI Compliance documentation: "Cryptographic keys must be changed on an annual basis."
During the transition period of moving from one encryption key to another symmetric-encryption supports multiple Symmetric Encryption keys. If decryption with the current key fails, any previous keys will also be tried automatically.
By default the latest key is used for encrypting data. Another key can be specified for encryption so that old data can be looked in queries, etc.
Since just the Symmetric Encryption keys are being changed, we can still continue to use the same RSA Private key for gaining access to the Symmetric Encryption Keys
Configuring multiple Symmetric Encryption keys
Create a configuration file in config/symmetric-encryption.yml per the following example:
# Symmetric Encryption for Ruby
# For the development and test environments the test symmetric encryption keys
# can be placed directly in the source code.
# And therefore no RSA private key is required
development: &development_defaults
key: 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF
iv: 1234567890ABCDEF
cipher_name: aes-128-cbc
<<: *development_defaults
# Since the key to encrypt and decrypt with must NOT be stored along with the
# source code, we only hold a RSA key that is used to unlock the file
# containing the actual symmetric encryption key
# Sample RSA Key, DO NOT use this RSA key, generate a new one using
# openssl genrsa 2048
private_rsa_key: |
# List Symmetric Key files in the order of current / latest first
# Filename containing Symmetric Encryption Key encrypted using the
# RSA public key derived from the private key above
key_filename: /etc/rails/.rails.key
iv_filename: /etc/rails/.rails.iv
# Encryption cipher_name
# Recommended values:
# aes-256-cbc
# 256 AES CBC Algorithm. Very strong
# Ruby 1.8.7 MRI Approximately 100,000 encryptions or decryptions per second
# JRuby 1.6.7 with Ruby 1.8.7 Approximately 22,000 encryptions or decryptions per second
# aes-128-cbc
# 128 AES CBC Algorithm. Less strong.
# Ruby 1.8.7 MRI Approximately 100,000 encryptions or decryptions per second
# JRuby 1.6.7 with Ruby 1.8.7 Approximately 22,000 encryptions or decryptions per second
cipher_name: aes-256-cbc
# Any previous Symmetric Encryption Keys
# Only used when old data still exists that requires old decryption keys
# to be used
key_filename: /etc/rails/.rails_old.key
iv_filename: /etc/rails/.rails_old.iv
cipher_name: aes-256-cbc
New features in V1.1 and V2
Ability to randomly generate a new initialization vector (iv) with every encryption and put the iv in the encrypted data as its header, without having to use SymmetricEncryption::Writer
With file encryption randomly generate a new key and initialization vector (iv) with every file encryption and put the key and iv in the encrypted data as its header which is encrypted using the global key and iv
Support for compression via SymmetricEncryption.encrypt, attr_encrypted and Mongoid fields
SymmetricEncryption.encrypt has two additional optional parameters: ``` random_iv [true|false] Whether the encypted value should use a random IV every time the field is encrypted. It is recommended to set this to true where feasible. If the encrypted value could be used as part of a SQL where clause, or as part of any lookup, then it must be false. Setting random_iv to true will result in a different encrypted output for the same input string. Note: Only set to true if the field will never be used as part of the where clause in an SQL query. Note: When random_iv is true it will add a 8 byte header, plus the bytes to store the random IV in every returned encrypted string, prior to the encoding if any. Default: false Highly Recommended where feasible: true
compress [true|false] Whether to compress str before encryption Should only be used for large strings since compression overhead and the overhead of adding the 'magic' header may exceed any benefits of compression Note: Adds a 6 byte header prior to encoding, only if :random_iv is false Default: false ```
Upgrading from earlier versions to SymmetricEncryption V3
In version 3 of SymmetricEncryption, the following changes have been made that may have backward compatibility issues:
SymmetricEncryption.decrypt no longer rotates through all the decryption keys when previous ciphers fail to decrypt the encrypted string. In a very small, yet significant number of cases it was possible to decrypt data using the incorrect key. Clearly the data returned was garbage, but it still returned a string of data instead of throwing an exception. See SymmetricEncryption.select_cipher to supply your own custom logic to determine the correct cipher to use when the encrypted string does not have a header and multiple ciphers are defined.
Configuration file format prior to V1 is no longer supported
New configuration option has been added to support setting encryption keys from environment variables
Cipher.parse_magic_header! now returns a Struct instead of an Array
New config options :encrypted_key and :encrypted_iv to support setting the encryption key in environment variables

Bernard Accama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernardus Accama (1697–1756) was an 18th-century Dutch historical and portrait painter.
Accama was born in Friesland, possibly in Burum, the son of Aeltje Boetes Nievelt and Simon Accama, the local church minister. He was christened on 12 July 1697 at Burum. He lived much of his life in Leeuwarden. He worked for and executed commissions for William IV, Prince of Orange. However much of his work was lost during the Revolution of 1795. He was the brother and instructor of the painter Matthijs Accama.

Size of the boiler only determines how much wash you can run at one time,
whether it's a 55-gallon drum or a 16-quart stock pot, and a 3 to 5 gallon
wash (no matter how large a boiler it's in) is usually most convenient to
work with.
The column, though, determines how FAST you can distill, and it's not just
length... diameter is important. With liquor, though, SLOW is GOOD. You
can get better purity and make cuts more accurately. Bigger is not
necessarily better, unless you want make fuel alcohol.
If you have workable plans already, your best bet is to follow them in
every detail. There are a lot of factors that go into determining correct
length and diameter of a column.
While it doesn't take an engineering background to figure out column
dimensions, you're best off with something that's already been engineered,
or tried and tested, by someone else.
If you have a 17-liter wash, it doesn't take as much energy to bring it up
to running temperature and keep it there as it does a 70-liter wash.
Also, when you're lifting, tipping, carrying, etc. to set things up and
take them down for cleaning, 70 liters of liquid is going to have an
irritating weight.
For fuel alcohol, large columns on large boilers are more common, usually
extra tall, well over 3 inches in diameter, and on boilers that are
sometimes 55-gallon drums.
But the main consideration for fuel alcohol is how fast you can produce it,
since taste doesn't matter.

Professional Wine Reviews for Ferreira Lbv 2008Additional information »
2008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
The city and region of Porto in Portugal has long been regarded as one of the most important wine producing areas on earth, and home to many of the world's most distinctive and characterful wines and fortified wines. So important was it, in the 18th century, it became part of the third ever protected wine region, following one in Hungary, and one in Italy. The wineries of Porto have generations of experience and expertise when it comes to working their land, and the fertile valley sides in the Douro region where Porto is found offers plenty of opportunities for growing a wide range of grape varietals. Most commonly, Porto wineries cultivate Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cão, Tempranillo, Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional grapes, as these are the primary varietals used in the production of Porto's famous Port wines.
Portugal has been an important center for wine production ever since the Phoenicians and Carthaginians discovered that the many native grape varietals that grow in the country could be cultivated for making excellent wines. After all, Portugal has something of an ideal wine producing climate and terrain; lush green valleys, dry, rocky mountainsides and extremely fertile soil helped by long, hot summers and Atlantic winds. Today, such a climate and range of terroir produces an impressive variety of wines, with the best wines said to be coming out of the Douro region, the Alentejo and the Colares region near Lisbon. Portugal has an appellation system two hundred years older than France's, and much effort is made by regulating bodies to ensure that the quality of the country's produce remains high, and the wines remain representative of the regions they are grown in.
