Website security is something that every single webmaster has to worry about during their endeavours, nobody is entirely safe from the big bad world of hackers the internet has become a safe-haven for. Whether you have login credentials, some sort of information pertaining to accounts or even location information, all of this stuff is up in the "virtual air" to be grabbed by somebody whom is sinister. People might find themselves in need of support when it comes to securing their websites, which is why this article has come to fruition. When it comes to securing the likes of your important information (whatever kind of information it may be), there's a few different things you can do to improve your website security protocols. When you're worried about your information being stolen or tampered with in some way, shape or form it's going to leave a sour taste in your mouth. There have been numerous technological scares regarding security breaches recently, the most recent one being the whole "Heart bleed Bug" debacle. Even though people are well aware that their information could be stolen at any given time it seems as if they don't make the changes needed. People are still shopping online with their credit cards, leaving their information out in the open just waiting for somebody unethical to get their hands on it. Not every single site is going to operate like this, and not every single site is going to be entirely flawed when it comes to its security; the fact of the matter is that hackers do exist, and they are stealing information from people (online fraud is rather prevalent in London).
Something you might have seen plenty of times is actually doing a wonderful job of treating this "virtual plague", have you ever been to a site and noticed a little padlock in the URL? This means that the site is entirely encrypted, the information that is being used on the site and sent to other resources is entirely untraceable. This leads to the information being harder to maintain by hackers, which of course is a good thing! If you don't see this peculiar little padlock in the address bar of the website you're on, don't take any chances with the transfer of information. This means that any shopping sites or anything else along the lines of that (as in sites that require personal information, most of the time it's important personal information) that don't sport the padlock shouldn't be trusted. The padlock is simply an SSL certificate, which is something webmasters all across the globe should be getting their hands on. Not only will it give the customers some peace of mind, but it will also give your site another piece of "legitimacy" to add to its traits.
How Might you use HTTPS
So now that you're aware of what HTTPS is, it's time to learn how to actually implement it within your site. The fact of the matter is that HTTPS only works if both communicating parties are making use of it. When it comes to the client side, the HTTPS selection can be made by simply typing "https" (as opposed to the original http) into the address bar before you type in your URL. Another way to implement it would be to install an extension on your browser that forces every single site to load in HTTPS (there are plenty of add-ons available for this, one of the more common ones being "HTTPS Everywhere" as it works for both Firefox and Chrome). When you're using HTTPS you're going to know it, there should be some sort of indication (whether it's a green bar, a pad lock, a thumbs up, etc.) in your address bar. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that HTTPS can only be used if the web server you're connecting to supports it, if you're the one who wants to make HTTPS available to your website users than you're going to need to go down a different path (as that would require an SSL/TSL Certificate).
If you're a webmaster and aren't completely sure as to what SSL is that's alright, but it's crucial that you learn about it sooner rather than later. When you're using the web the data is transferred with the use of HTTP, which is Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This process is the sole reason why every webpage starts with either "http://" or "https://". If you aren't sure why the "S" is added onto the latter, than you're about to have your mind blown; it's strictly for security. HTTP isn't a particular part of the URL itself, it's actually the language that is used between the computer and the server to communicate. The language itself is "universal", so it's essentially used all across the globe for every single web-sever communication process completed. This is convenient in a sense, but it also has its cons (as anything positive usually does). It doesn't matter whether you're in London or Africa, the chances of you stumbling across the HTTP term is almost set in stone. There are three particular cons that come with the HTTP server communication process, those being:
- People have the ability to intercept the data being transferred and "eavesdrop" on your activities.
- People can intercept the data and then pretend to be you from the initial transfer process.
- People can even change up the data being transferred so the message that is communicated isn't the one you had originally intended.
Hackers tend to use a combination of the three exploits above to get into your transfer processes and learn more about you, from there they can do whatever they please with the data they've obtained. This means that if you were to transfer data regarding your bank account (or credit card) and it was intercepted, the hackers could have access to your personal finances. Scammers make relevant use of these tactics as well, a perfect example would be the "switcheroo". Let's say you've transferred a message stating you want "$100 to be paid to my phone company". A hacker can take this information and mould it to their benefit. It goes from the original message to "$1,000 to be paid to my good friend, Hacker". It's as low-ball and sleazy as you could get online, but just like everything else on this planet there are people who do it. All of these problems (and even more) could be solved with the implementation of an S, turning the HTTP server into an HTTPS server.
The S is actually derived from the SSL protocol (Secure Sockets Layer), or even from the newer process known as TLS (Transport Security Protocol). HTTPS servers are ideal for webmasters who like to keep their information private, the service automatically encrypts information so that hackers can't get their grubby little hands on it. On top of that is also offers server authentication and message authentication, which is there to ensure that the person using the site really is who they claim to be. This is the type of support that brings tears to my eyes!
How Can I Get an SSL Certificate?
If you want your own webpage to have HTTPS available to users you're going to need an SSL certificate, but what if you aren't sure what it is? Or even how to go about getting one? Your web server has to have the SSL/TSL Certificate installed on it in order to be "secure", think of it as a form of ID for your website. Whenever there's a browser making use of HTTPS on your website, it goes through a communication process similar to a handshake. The client computer (the user on your site) asks for your SSL/TSL Certificate before they make the connection, if you're a trusted webpage and have these certificates implemented they will be able to progress to your page. This process is simply there to verify that the user is actually the user, and the web server is secured for the clients use. Most well-known companies make use of SSL/TSL Certificates as it adds a layer of reputability, it's always nice to be known as the "safe site" when it comes to your user base. If the SSL/TSL Certificates don't check out, or the site simply doesn't have one, your browser will warn you that the site might have something up its sleeve (your browser will warn you that the identity of the site couldn't be established). We've all gotten those warnings from random sites on Google, so it isn't anything particularly new.
Doing Your Research (SSL Certificates)
When you're getting into the final process of implementing an SSL Certificate on your site there are plenty of things to look at. The CA (Certificate Authority) would be one of the main variables to take into account. This is the company that will actually give you your certificate, they will also be the ones that actually validate your security every time a visitor makes their way to your web site. Each SSL provider is going to have their own way of doing things, the prices and features are going to vary as you look at different companies. Although this is the case there's only one thing you should really be worried about when you're getting the SSL certificate, which would be the question of whether the certificates are pre-installed on the most common browsers available. If your certificate company doesn't have a compiled list of the browsers they have SSL Certificates available on than users are going to get "false warnings", which is never a good thing. Many people don't bother with false warnings, they would simply see the initial warning and think that the site was bad news no matter what.
Although sometimes your certificate isn't going to be listed on the major browsers "set list", it usually doesn't happen. The major browsers have massive lists regarding pre-installed CA's, so if this happens to you chances are you didn't select the proper Certificate provider. If you're making use of the larger brand names (GoDaddy, Thawte etc.) than you have nothing to worry about. If you still aren't completely sure you can actually check your browsers settings and see which pre-installed CA's are available, here's how to go about doing that:
- If you're using Google Chrome, go to; Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Manage Certificates
- If you're making use of Firefox, go to; Options > Advanced > View Certificates
- Those who use IE, go to; Internet Options > Content > Certificates
- For Safari users, go to; Finder > Go > Utilities > KeyChain Access > System
The Great Debate: Domain Validation or Extended Validation
The use of an SSL Certificate is supposed to help identify the website you're sending your information to. You'd be surprised to know that plenty of people make use of "phony" SSL Certificates for domains they don't even own themselves. This is where the CA (Certificate Authority) comes in, as they make sure that the person whom is demanding a certificate for the site is actually the domain names owner. The easiest way that this is accomplished is through either an e-mail or a phone call, the first option containing an account confirmation link for you to click on. Many don't know the term for this, but it's actually a domain validated SSL Certificate. The greatest thing about this entire process would be the fact that SSL certificates can be issued to sites much quicker than they usually would, to be honest you could probably get your domain SSL Certified quicker than washing your care would be. The SSL Certificate would allow you to put that extra little touch on your website, encrypting the data and giving you that padlock of reassurance.
When it comes to domain validated SSL certificates they have their pros like any other. They are much faster and a lot more efficient, they're also quite cheap to obtain. Although this is a positive, this is also a con as well. When you put an automated system into place (which is what the cheaper types usually are) it could allow for a little more wiggle room regarding hackers, after all they are pretty smart to begin with. It's best to have your SSL Certificate service ran by humans that verify credentials, automated services can be duped more often than you would think. Phishers make use of this process when it comes to automated SSL certification, it's pretty much like obtaining a fake identity to use for sites. They could take your name and such and open up a PayPal account, maybe even a Facebook account if they were feeling somewhat social. Phishers have created websites to look like they were any other, secured and everything of that sort, yet they're still able to obtain your information through the data transfer process. Obviously these types of scams would be rather blatant and easy to see if you were a human, robots have a harder time deciphering between the two.
In order to combat these particular "openings" in the SSL and validated SSL Certificates, there has been a new standard introduced amongst the industry. It's known as an "Extended Validation Certificate", which is useful for specific reasons we're about to go through. If you want to get an EV certificate you need to pass a checklist first, you must have a company (or an organisation of sorts), there's also an incredibly draw out process on top of that. You need to make sure you're government is aware that you control the domain, as well as put in an application to make sure you have a good relationship with your local governors (you need to be reputable in order to qualify for an EV certificate). These go through a human verification process, so it's going to take a longer time (as well as cost you more money in the long run).
Some people may be in need of an EV certificate simply because it's the industry standard amongst their project. If this isn't the case though, you should take into account that the only benefit pertaining to EV certificates is what the visitors can recognise. If they are just an everyday browser than the difference between your site and another are very minimal. Not only would you receive a padlock icon in the address bar but the entire bar turns green and actually has the name of your company on there. From there you can see that the company itself has been completely verified through and through, which is always something nice to put in the trophy case!
Remember, an EV certificate might not even be worth your while if you aren't in a particular industry. If you aren't the owner of a business or an organisation you can't even qualify for one, this is something that the much larger companies usually look into. Even though EV is somewhat useful, most of the HTTPS sites we come across today are actually non-EV. I guess plenty of other people don't see that much benefit in the EV certificate either. If you aren't completely sold on either of the certificates we've talked about so far there's one final solution left for you, which would be the "organisation validated certification" (sometimes referred to as the "business validated certification"). It still goes through a process of domain validation that is much more thorough than the automated one, but it isn't quite as thorough as the EV certification process. When you're looking to get a business validated certification it's going to cost you more, as well as take a longer time to go through, yet it doesn't give you the green address bar (or even the verified company info). It's somewhat pointless, which is why many people tend to stay away from this option, I know I do.
Private SSL vs. Shared SSL
Webhosts usually have a shared SSL service, which tends to be better for those who are economically efficient (aka cheap!) than the other option, being private SSL. The price is one things to look at, but shared SSL's also have no need for a dedicated host or private IP address in order to properly function. You may not get to use your domain name in its entirety, but that's what happen when the term "you get what you pay for" comes into play. If you've got a site that is in the public facing field (such as a social networking site) then this is obviously a rather large blow to your online presence. It appears as if you've been redirected from the main site, which is never something a webmaster likes to see! Shared SSL is ideal for other areas though, things like an administration area or even an online mail system.
Many CA companies actually let you place trust seals on your webpage if you've been confirmed for one of their certificates. It gives you the same type of information that you would usually be exposed to by clicking on the padlock, but it's always nice to have something visually appealing to back up your credentials. The trust seal itself isn't exactly necessary, as it doesn't do anything to boost your security (but it will leave your visitors with that gooey, gushy feeling they get inside whenever something reputable is presented to them!).
Identifying your domain is important, but many people are interested in verifying multiple different subdomains as well. If you wanted to achieve this, you would actually have to purchase three different certificates, that's just the way it is! There is a point, however, where the choice is based solely on your finances (in which case a wildcard SSL certificate is ideal). One certificate to cover all of your subdomains really is a dream come true. CA's can be as reputable as they come and still be vulnerable, it's just the society that we live in today. Hackers are vicious, and with every technological advancement we grow with they grow with as well. The perfect example of a massive CA being targeted by hackers would be the breach VeriSign had to deal with in 2010, although that went unreported to the public (which sounds kind of shady, oddly enough). On top of being vulnerable there are also reputable CA's that join the dark side in a sense, which was seen in 2011 when DigiNotar bit the bullet. Anything to do with SSL can make somebody uneasy, it's the fact that they could be playing with personal information that really bothers me. Due to this, CA's have certain warranties in place to compensate those who deal with any SSL attacks (or anything that would fall along the lines of that). There haven't been many stories regarding SSL claims and such, but nevertheless they are there to be purchased if you feel the need to do so.
How to Install an SSL Certificate
The actual installation process of the SSL Certificate is somewhat of a mystery to a few people, it's important that you properly install it on your website in order to actually be authenticated. Webhosts that are reputable and of the higher quality tend to do this for you, but if you find yourself in the situation where you must deal with it yourself there's no need to worry. Some of the better webhosts actually take it upon themselves to purchase the SSL Certificate for you, which is obviously just the cherry on top of everything. Although these are usually the cases you might find yourself in the position of installing it yourself, which isn't always the easiest thing to do for certain people. It's a rather thorough process, so it's recommended that you ask your webhost for help, but it consists of creating a SSL CSR (Certificate Signing Request) amongst other things.
Advantages and Disadvantages of HTTPS
There are plenty of pros and cons to take into consideration when it comes to the HTTPS argument, but everybody seems to be completely content with the service so far (every website you visit that is authenticated and verified is usually sporting a HTTPS URL). Although there are some downsides to it (the fact that it's more expensive, the fact that is could slow down your server, as well as the fact that it could have a drastic impact on your SEO endeavours), it's still the best we've got available at the moment. Many people tend to just lean on PayPal or any other online payment-processing company to handle their business, but there are those who like to keep everything "in the family" so to speak. If you're one of them I can't blame you, there's no shame in getting the hang of SSL Certificates, I'm sure it will benefit you in the long run. If you're still having troubles you can try Sphere IT who are an IT Support and Services Company based in London.
It's been quite some time since we've been introduced to a brand new group of TLDs (Top Level Domains). A few months ago it was decided that we should be "blessed" with these brand new extensions of domain names, and it turns out they could be potential game changers. The amount of new TLDs available to you this time around is pretty astounding, so astounding that it might even call for a brand new strategy to be implemented on your part (in the end it's all about protecting your personal interests). It's no surprise that people have always tried to sell their TLDs to consumers, they would say things like "You absolutely need to hop on the .example train right now". Although many people in the world aren't going to question the legitimacy of these new TLDs, there may be some that do (me being one of them).
Every time a TLD appears out of nowhere there needs to be a reason for its defence, plenty of them seem like they're simply "fads" in a sense. Some are definitely here for the long haul, one example would be the introduction of the .CO TLD (which is almost always used as a misspelling of .COM, for example a really good one would be Goggle.co for those who can't spell). Of course the .CO representative aren't going to state that it's for the "typo domain" market, but we're smart enough to piece these things together for ourselves. On top of that there were some that simply were shunned, for example .XXX (which had adult webmasters scrambling to their computers to try and get their own .XXX domain). Some of the TLDs available are simply forgotten to say the least, some of these would be .TEL or .PRO (in which many hosting companies have dropped support for, but nobody cared). With all of this being said there's a new batch of TLDs for us to sink our teeth into (as well as judge for ourselves), and those TLDs are: .EMAIL, .GURU, .HOLDINGS and .VENTURES.
Defending Your Territory Will Be Nearly Impossible
Seeing as there are too many TLDs coming out in the near future (some have said that we should be within the thousands sooner than we would think), the price is something to leave to the imagination as well. These newer TLDs are not only more expensive than the common .CA or .COM, but they're brand new; how many people are going to be looking to get into them? We're already used to the ones we've got now, and some of the newer ones are plain silly in my personal opinion (the perfect example would be .WED, seeing as it has strange rules and guidelines based around it; did we mention it's $25,000/year for a two year project?). It's a good thing I'm not the only one who finds this ridiculous, as plenty of registrars are refusing to support these new TLDs (like I'm about to pay $25,000 a year for a .WED domain!).
Although most of them are relatively silly, there are a couple of brand new TLDs for you to keep your eye on in the near future. One of the better ones would be .WEB, it's simple and to the point and is one of the ones that isn't completely absurd. Although I could easily see myself with a .WEB domain, the bids for them are rather competitive right now (and there are even a few law suits associated with it).
One of the better ones to look at besides .WEB would be .CORP (which of course would be rather useful for businesses). People have stated this TLD is going to "break the TLD world as we know it", which may be a bit over-exaggerated.
How Should We Feel About This?
There's no denying the fact that time is going to move forward, and with that process there's going to be newer things introduced to the world of technology. Even though there's no telling when TLD expansion is going to "die", it's definitely not as powerful as t could be in the current day. Every single TLD is going to tell you that you need it, they're also going to tell you to purchase a domain as quickly as possible before you miss your chance. If you have any smart bones in your body you know how business works, and for the most part these rather atrocious TLDs this year just seem like schemes. You can simply register the TLD you feel that you will need (whether useful for your company or to simply protect your brand) via a registrar such a GoDaddy, or 1 and 1 to mention a few.
It's something like the spike of "crypto currencies" we've come to know, things like Bitcoin and Litecoin, etc. People are taking the Bitcoin block chain ledger model and are creating their own versions of bitcoin. It just goes to show you that if something has worked in the past, there are going to be people whom pursue it (sometimes so much so that they saturate the market). There are a plethora of "coins" available now, it seems as if there might even be too many. The creation of DAC (Decentralized Autonomous Corporations) with block chains and naming proves that innovation isn't present within ICANN approved TLDs (the newest ones that is).
Which TLD Should I Register As My Own?
Picking the proper TLD to register your name under can be kind of tricky, although there are techniques to it. If you want to be proficient my only suggestion would be the Frank Schilling model, which consists of you purchasing a .com (or .net/.org domain) alongside a ccTLD pertaining to the country your base of operations is in. After you've done that you can expand and improve your TLD selection, particularly some city-based TLDs (one example would be Toronto with the TLD of .TO).
If you're a webmaster you may have found yourself in a similar predicament, as many webmasters these days aren't complete sure as to what the difference is between a 302 redirect and a 301 redirect. Search engines are able to tell which type of redirect is actually occurring, so if you're in the business of search engine optimization (SEO) than this is something rather important for you to know. When you talk about the 301 redirect, it means that a page is being move from its original location to a whole new one (this is a permanent state of relocation). A 302 is different, as the redirection of the page is a process that is temporary rather than permanent. Search engines make uses of these in a peculiar way, as it determines whether the old page is going to be kept or if the page is going to be replaced with the newly relocated one. If you set up the wrong type of redirect for you page it could lead to some confusion regarding the search engines process, which means you are going to see a drop in the number of visitors to your site (loss of traffic).
You may not think that it matters much, but it has a very important role to play when it comes to being a webmaster. If you find yourself in the situation where you're going to be completely moving an entire web site (for example changing your companies domain name) you're going to want to have the right redirect set up to allow users to find your site. The redirect will allow the browser of the user to automatically take you to the new location from the old one. When it comes to the bigger search engines like Google and such you probably think that they have the ability to follow these redirects, but it isn't that simple. Whenever you're moving a site with the use of a redirect it has the possibility of inflicting the Google aging delay upon your page, this means that your site has the possibility of dropping off the page ranks for a long period of time (sometimes months, and in extreme cases up to a year).
301 is the most common redirect you're going to see, this is because the 302 redirect in its own right calls for certain circumstances. If you find yourself temporarily moving pages for a long period of time than it's probably the right choice for you (although people usually find themselves moving pages permanently). Even though this is the case most people would tell you that the process of a 302 redirect is a lot easier to manage than a 301 redirect. If you wanted to you could make use of Javascript (or even a meta tag) to create your 302 redirect. When you want to make a 301 redirect you have to have special commands handy within the .htaccess file (if you're using Apache that is). If you're making use of Windows Servers than 301's can come off as even more unappealing due to the difficult process of creating them and lack of support available. This is the sole reason why people make use of 302 redirects when they should be using 301s.
Google is able to tell that the use of 302 when a 301 should be implanted is there, but it isn't in their ideals to take people as literal as they are trying to be. They really don't have to legal authority to look at it as a 301 when it's a 302, even if you had meant it to be a 301. If you make this mistake the search engines might index older versions of the site instead of fresher and newer ones you have available. The popularity of your links could be potentially divided by two different URLs, which would of course hurt you in the rankings. Some search engines may have the ability to figure out the woes of the 302 redirect, but they also might not. Google representatives have stated that 302's will be treated as 301's if it seems like the webmaster had made a simple mistake, but is this their mistake to fix? What about other search engines as well?
If you're going to be moving a web site or web page on a permanent basis, than you're going to want to make use of a 301 redirect. 302's should never be used in a situation like this, it's just improper practice! When you're making a temporary move related to your page a 302 redirect is going to tell the search engine to index the old domain/page rather than the new one (and you're obviously going to want the newest page available to the search engines index). People have the tendency of using 302 redirects to battle the Google aging delay, and although it may have worked in the past, isn't very sound to do right now.
If you're worried about losing your search engine rankings due to a 301 technicality, nothing is going to be fixed if you change your domain (or even to so become non-dependent pertaining to your page ranking income). Businesses have always tried to avoid changing their names because it could lead to a whole world of trouble, not only marketing wise but reputation wise. People could deem it shady of sorts, it just so happens that Google shares the same morals.
Facebook has always been one of the main components of social interaction online, ever since it was introduced people have been completely aware of what to do with it and how to do it. One thing we always forget to ponder is "what happens to my social media account when I pass away?". As terrible as it sounds, death is inevitable, no matter who you are or what you do for a living you're going to die eventually. It may take 20 years, it may take 200, but it's a known fact in our "physical world" that you're going to leave this plain at some point.
This leads us the actual topic of the article, dealing with deaths on Facebook. Facebook had a pretty strict ruling with dead persons profiles the past few years, but now they find themselves rethinking their strategies on the topic. Whenever a Facebook user passes away the people whom are mourning their loss could ask Facebook to memorialize the persons account. When this happens, only friends and family are able to view the actual profile. Pretty much, it's for those who actually cared and will miss the person instead of random people hearing about the event. This is changing though, because on Friday Facebook is going to allow the public to see people whom have passed away accounts.
They feel like it's the best choice, having the persons life available to see for those are intrigued. I guess it's a good thing, because it allows for more people to hear and see what had happened, as well as more people to mourn the loss that they've had to deal with. If an account you frequent or even an account of a close friend has been memorialized recently you will see the changes soon enough, every single profile that has already been "tamed" will resort to these changes by the end of next week.
This gives a whole heap of ideas to those who have been thinking about it, one site (eterni.me) is actually implementing a way to talk to deceased relatives and loved ones like a "Skype call from the past". They take any information provided about your loved one and then transfer all of that information into the avatar that they build. From here, you have a full-fledged conversation with someone you haven't talked to in over 5 years. This sounds kind of strange and even sounds like it could break some heart when it comes down to it, but it's a pretty cool site to take into consideration nonetheless. Of course with all of this being said Facebook is going to ponder what they should be doing when it comes to the memorialisation of a Facebook page, which they consider as long as possible.
Apparently as of recent people have been saying that the mastermind company Google is trying to produce something we aren't used to seeing. A smart phone isn't too crazy when it comes to the developing of it, but one that views in 3D? That could take some getting used to. The technology giant has been rumored to be looking for developers who are willing to develop unique and "unusual" applications around its new platform. It's known as "Project Tango", and as of now it seems like it's going to be a pretty crazy experience when it finally comes out.
The whole idea of "Project Tango" came about when developers at Google decided to give mobile devices a "human-scale, understanding of space and motions", which is a direct quote form the main man himself Johnny Lee (he's the projects lead at Google's Projects group). Many people have been curious as to how this is going to pan out, because not everybody is completely down for 3-D screens as silly as it sounds. Johnny Lee was saying how people consider the phone to finish at the screen, but there's always room for more development.
The whole point of moving forward in life and time is to see what happens and plays out on the worlds stage, 3D screens on phones is a pretty cool thing to look out for though. We haven't seen a lot of 3-D technology being implemented in mobile devices, although we have been seeing it quite often in the television field.
The options are immense when it comes to the implementation of a 3D screen on a smart phone, from getting the dimensions of a couch you plan on buying before you actually buy it to finding the aisle and exact shelf where a product is located in a store. The screen itself could change the way we look at phones as a whole, because a 3D screen would open up so many doors when it comes to talking about the development of new applications and such.
The prototype that they've got ready at the moment is a 5-inch smart phone running Android, which in my personal opinion is better than the iOS. It combines this alongside the robotics and computer vision technology implemented within the phone, which is used to track the actual 3D motion of the phone (while creating a 3D model of your surrounding environment in the process of it all).
Google has said that it hopes professional developers take the opportunity to get into something new and unique while it's still fresh, Google also plans on releasing approximately 200 development kits to those who need it by March 14th. If you can wait to gets your hands on one of those development kits, you're going to have to keep patiently waiting until March rolls around. There's no specific release date at this time, but believe me, we're looking for it just as much as you are!

Army 'to paint a picture' of force readiness for commanders
Thursday - 12/13/2012, 7:32pm EST
Lt. Col. Bobby Saxon, division chief, Army EMDS
The Army's Enterprise Management Decision Support system gives commanders mounds of data to help them understand the status of a certain brigade or division's training.
But as it pulls together data from 20 different databases, the information isn't always user friendly or clear about the specific issues affecting warfighters.
Soon, that's all about to change. EMDS will present all that data in a dashboard, using red, yellow and green markers to inform leaders about the status of their troops, and thus help them make better decisions about who is to be deployed and when.
"The system continues to evolve and gather more data," said Lt. Col. Bobby Saxon, the division chief for Army EMDS. "We can take a look at a unit or if a brigade is to be deployed six months from now, it can tell you where they are today, the people and their training level, and as the unit moves closer to their deployment date, commanders can track metrics to make sure they are meeting their gate checks to be ready to deploy."
The Army will bring all that data together in a dashboard format in early 2013 as part of its continuous system improvements cycle that includes the use of a business intelligence tool, Saxon said.
"The dashboard will be much more graphically intensive," he said. "We will try to paint a picture that is backed up by data for the brigade commander to go into EMDS and create a dashboard that is focused on their brigade and so they can see an instant picture on one screen and flag problems. They then will be able to dig in and find additional data about what's going on. We plan to display the data using red, yellow and green bar charts or pie charts. We've done some prototyping and are beginning early development of the dashboard. We are taking advantage of Oracle business intelligence tool."
Saxon said the dashboard is one way the Army is getting more benefits from all the data it collects.
The business intelligence software is part of the Oracle Endeca software that lets users process, store, manage, search and analyze structured and unstructured information together.
Saxon said the EMDS is using Endeca to improve how it processes all the data that comes from the assorted, disparate databases.
Part of the move to business intelligence tools within the Endeca platform is improving data standards and business processes. Saxon said the Army has been focusing on these areas for more than a year.
"We have dedicated staff members working with our stakeholders to pull those business rules out," he said. "We've done a lot of prototyping, and are getting feedback so we can develop the tool that looks nice and paints the correct picture. It's easy to take data and misunderstand and paint the data incorrectly. We have a lot of user acceptance testing with the tool."
The dashboard and business intelligence tool would be a third iteration of the program.
The Army first launched EMDS in December 2010 and finished an upgrade last February.
Saxon said the first set of improvements focused on bringing readiness resourcing data into the central system, and presenting in an easy to use way.
The second upgrade focused on the readiness piece, Saxon said.
"Our system doesn't get deep into the weeds because there are a lot of authoritative data systems we pull from," he said. "We can tell commanders if they have enough boxes of meals ready to eat, or if all the big pieces of equipment like howitzers or tanks or people movers are ready, but we can't tell you if an individual solider is qualified with a certain type of weapon."
Saxon said his staff added more user-friendly tools for the non-IT person, such as an improved basic search capability, the ability to add cloud tags to find out what are some possible trends among units, offer comments about the brigade or unit or division and discover problems in a way they couldn't before because of the depth of the data.
He added the next upgrade will incorporate historical data about the warfighters to give commanders a more long-term vision of the unit or division.

Salmonellosis is an infection with bacteria called salmonella. Salmonella can grow in a variety of places such as water, raw meat, seafood, certain pets, and eggs.
Salmonellosis is caused by ingestion of a strain of bacteria called salmonella. After the bacteria are ingested, within 6-48 hours they will pass through the stomach to the intestine where inflammation occurs and spreads.

If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to salmonellosis. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may test your stool or blood to confirm presence of the bacteria
Over-the-counter medications or oral rehydration solutions may be used to treat the symptoms of salmonellosis. The symptoms will usually improve on their own within 2-5 days. If symptoms are severe, talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:

Teak is the wood of choice for boat builders and craftsmen the world over. But not all teak furniture is the same.
Teak furniture poses a dilemma for the environmentally conscious consumer. Reforest Teak is the answer.
Gardener's Supply founder Will Raap describes his latest sustainable forestry projects.
Beautiful, bountiful planters depend on good soil, fertilizer and careful watering. But to take your planters from standard to sensational, you need the right plants. Start with this simple rule: Combine plants with three different habits. In other words, thrillers, fillers and spillers.

Customer Reviews
- Seriously - this is a good product Review by MK, Adelaide, Australia
Price Value Quality My KP is pretty bad. I have red pimple-like raised bumps on my upper arm and thighs. I've tried so many things and nothing has worked. Even my doctors (and specialists) could not offer much help aside from the pretty usless advice:'scrub your skin in the shower every morning'. I then tried KP duty. Really impressed. Great product and it does work (substantial results in 2 days). Well done.
- Still waiting for results Review by VL, Atlanta, GA, USA
Price Value Quality I have been using KP Duty scrub and lotion for almost three weeks now and my KP on my arms has not improved at all. I still have the bumps and red dots. I will continue for another month. I really hope it works!
- Happily Surprised! Review by LKU, West Chester, PA
Price Value Quality I have been enduring KP on my upper arms (front and back) for almost three years now. I have been to dermatologists and told that KP is something that I will always have to live with. Over the years I have tried several creams that my Dr. had prescribed me with no results. As summer was approaching this year I decided to search the internet for some possible "home remedies" and luckily I stumbled upon this! After four weeks of trying to apply twice a day, my bumps are nearly gone! I cannot say enough good things about this product!
- Wow, this stuff works fast!!! Review by JS, St. Olaf, IA
Price Value Quality I, like many of the other reviews have had KP most of my life. I have tried every scrub, lotion, soap and perscription but nothing has worked as quickly or as completely as KP duty. Within days I saw results that I have NEVER seen with other products. I also have been using the KP scrub which I love as well. Bottom line, try it if you don't love it send it back!
- SO SOFT! Review by Tyrone, PA
Price Value Quality I started using KP Duty in May everyday. IT WORKS all the bumps are gone and my skin is so soft! I never wanted anyone to touch the backs of my arms, now I want them to. What a great product. THANK YOU!!!
- Good, but wish it helped more Review by RF, Seattle, WA
Price Value Quality KP duty has made my skin feel silky smooth within a few days of using it. I love how my skin feels but it has not done anything for the appearance of my bumps. I just ordered the scrub today in hope that it can with the appearance. I do have an extreme case of KP so maybe I just need to use the product for awhile longer.
- Finally, a way to fix my bumps! Review by BM, WI, USA
Price Value Quality I got the Therapy for Dry Skin lotion and the KP Duty Scrub and they have definitely helped reduce my bumps on my arms. They fell way smoother then ever before. I still have the appearance of bumps, though it has faded from what it was before I was using KP products. I'm starting to get more comfortable with someone touching my arms now because the bumps aren't so bad.
- Amazing! Review by LW, Washington, DC
Price Value Quality For as long as I can remember, the backs of my arms have been red and blotchy, almost like a rash. The bumps were very embarrassing and I would pull away or cringe at the most casual touch when I wore short sleeves. No more!! I decided to try KP duty along with the KP duty scrub, it's absolutely amazing! No more bumps, no more redness and my skin is so soft and moist. Worth every penny and a summer must.
- Great product for smoothing skin Review by Stephanie C, Bound Brook, NJ
Price Value Quality I've had chicken skin since I was an infant. It used to be all over my arms from top to bottom, and little blotches on my face and tops of my thighs and some patches of it on my back. Since I've gotten older it has gone away on my lower arms and face but remained everywhere else. There is no cure for KP unfortunately, but this lotion for me has done a great job of smoothing my skin out and make the bumps less red and irritated, it also works well on my eczema that I have on my hands, since the lotion is rather greasy I apply it to my hands at night and just put cloth gloves over my hands. I would definitely recommend it to someone who has tried all the over the counter products with no success.
- Still have redness Review by KMM, Concord, CA
Price Value Quality I have pretty severe KP on my arms. I was so excited when I found the KP duty products online and ordered right away. I used the products for 2 months, both the body scrub and the cream as directed and it did make my armsa little smoother...but they were still completly red! So although they felt a little better they looked exactly the same. I was very disappointed. Still cannot wear a tank top:(

An acronym for Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums. It is a police squad unit originally created by the LAPD as a way to break the infrastructure of crime in the ghettos. It turns out leadership of these CRASH teams became corrupt, and even the most decorated officers were guilty of killing other cops, selling and using crack, and planting weapons and drugs in order to frame innocents. The origins of the CRASH lead back into the fifties, when J. Edgar Hoover ran the FBI, and as sneak attacks before dawn and after midnight would claim the lives of many black leaders, and eventually the Black Panthers and rappers like Tupac Shakur. CRASH disbanded officially circa 2001, but very similar units exist across the US in other departments.
Many CRASH cases are still unsolved, and the LAPD is imfamous for hiding any inciminating files.

Hi, I wish you a lot of luck, Perry, I know you'll find something that will fulfill your needs and make you happy. I know it's scary to let go of something you've been at for so long. You know what they say....when a door closes.... a window opens! Take care, Lauretta
Forever, Lauretta!
Thanks Lauretta! I don't belong in a factory- and I've been there for 23 years! My Karina has known me for almost 10 years, and she says there hasn't been a day that I didn't complain about my job! This will turn out for something good. I can feel it! :-)
Home sweet home.......
Good luck ! Hope you find something you enjoy.
Hey Perry, I remember when you posted this. I wasn't in a good place myself. I had recently been fired from a job I had for 7 years. I had complained a lot about things and it built up to where I snapped at an employee review. I'm working at a new job but also in the process of starting a new business. Cashed out my life savings to do it and, of course, it's starting to go over budget. Hope things are working out for you.
Beer is like youth and health. Enjoy it before it's gone bad.
Screw cocktails, beer is all you really need!
good luck Click....and to you too Perry. About last September, I was at my wits end with my old job and would have a black cloud over my head on Sundays...it was a messed up situation. I mentioned this to a friend and his wife. She asked for my resume as she is in HR...3 weeks later I get a call from guy who was very interested in me and wondered when could I interview.
1 month later I started a new job and haven't looked back once! My boss gave me a killer 90 day review and a raise. Work life is good!
ps..new boss is a rock fan and loves Y&T! 8)
I need a new job too! Just don't know if I want one here or back on the east coast.
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...
but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying,
"Darn...that was fun!" ____________________________
There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.....
Now the company has changed their attitude towards me. They say they need me on the job, that there is no job on the factory that I can't handle and they are even willing to offer me a new job if I'm not happy with the one I have now. Funny, after all this time they have suddenly realized they need me!
Home sweet home.......

Security concerns abound at U.S. companies
Blog Entry:
April 19, 2013 11:05 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
This story
offers a fascinating look at the security concerns of U.S. companies, including the
Cleveland Browns
The Wall Street Journal
Big companies and wealthy individuals normally don't discuss the threats they receive, preferring to keep their security concerns private.
But hundreds of companies and prominent citizens have sent just such information to the federal government, some detailing their biggest security worries. The reported dangers range from chilling to seemingly trivial: al Qaeda terrorists; animal-rights extremists; deranged stalkers; depressed gamblers; gas-price malcontents and aggressive autograph-seekers.
The threat information was contained in letters sent in 2011 to the Federal Aviation Administration but not made public until now. The letter-writers were stirred to action by a since-shelved FAA plan to allow the public to have greater real-time access to the flight paths of private aircraft.
Among the letter writers were the Browns.
The team "sent a five-page submission, written by a former director of the U.S. Secret Service, that began with a history of security concerns related to the late Al Lerner, a businessman who bought the revived Cleveland franchise in 1998 and who, according to the letter, held 'Top Secret' security clearance during the George W. Bush administration," according to the story.
Mr. Lerner died almost nine years before the letter was written.
The Journal
notes his son, Randy Lerner, who owned the team until last year and still owns Britain's Aston Villa soccer club, also had been subjected to stalking and threats, according to the letter, which blamed fans who were "fanatics" or "disgruntled."
A quick summary hardly does justice to
Wall Street Journal
about Tim Kirby, an expatriate from the Cleveland suburbs who says he wants Russian citizenship and says Joseph Stalin was a better leader than he has been portrayed in history books.
"On radio shows on Moscow's state-controlled Radio Mayak and in frequent appearances on state television, Mr. Kirby is making a name for himself inside Russia as a kind of Kremlin-appointed Joe the Plumber who explains a broken America to Russian listeners,"
The Journal
As the Kremlin rallied support for its ban on U.S. adoptions of Russian orphans imposed late last year, Mr. Kirby, 31, "appeared on prime-time talk shows to say that one quarter of American children take pills that affect their brains, and that they are endangered by religious sects whose members oppose medical care or dance around poisonous snakes," according to the newspaper.
Mr. Kirby's career is flowering as the Kremlin "ramps up a campaign against U.S. influence in Russia, warning that Western-paid agents are trying to undermine the country's stability under the guise of civic action and human rights campaigns,"
The Journal
He grew up "in a rundown suburb of Cleveland" — the story doesn't identify it — and he tells
The Journal
that his upbringing as a white minority in his neighborhood left him "uncomfortable" in polite society and hostile to authority. He joined the Peace Corps after college, was sent to the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan and ended up in Moscow in 2007.
Thinking of buying a franchise? There's a lot to think about, according to
this MarketWatch.com story
, which features comments from Joel Libava, a franchise adviser and owner of
in Cleveland.
"Franchising "can be a great thing as long as people are realistic. I'm always cautioning folks not to fall into the franchise industry Kool-Aid," Mr. Libava says.
"Some people have the illusion — because of buzzwords like 'turnkey' and 'business in a box' — that they turn the key and the franchise has everything set up and the money comes in," he adds. "It doesn't work like that. You've got to really work hard."
The piece then lists 11 mistakes for prospective franchisees to avoid. Among them: Don't misunderstand the rules.
For instance, if you're entrepreneurial by temperament, a franchise probably is not for you.
The best candidate, Mr. Libava said, is someone "who has been in corporate America for a long time and is used to rules — they tend to do a lot better than people who are entrepreneurial."
Businessweek.com runs a
from Cleveland resident Peter Rebar in response to a
that argued Margaret Thatcher did not solve many of Britain's most serious problems.
"At most, (Thatcherism) only slowed down Britain's ongoing decline as it drifts further toward socialism and an overreliance on finance and government-sector jobs," Mr. Rebar writes.
"Although Thatcher had some good ideas, she did not realize that her unconditional support of free trade in the 1980s would eventually lead to a global economy consisting of state-owned enterprises from low-cost countries pursuing mercantilist trade policies," he adds. "The result is Britain's deindustrialization."
looks like
there finally will be a movie adaptation of
an acclaimed graphic novel about a series of killings in Cleveland in the 1930s.
The Hollywood Reporter
says filmmaker David Lowery, whose
"Ain't Them Bodies Saints"
earned good reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, has come aboard to write and direct an adaption of "Torso."
Hollywood "has tried for more than a decade to get its hooks" into "Torso," the newspaper says of the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko. At one point, David Fincher hoped to adapt "Torso" as a follow-up to "Zodiac."
"Torso" is based on a time in Elliot Ness' career (after his Al Capone days) when he moved to Cleveland and "got embroiled in the hunt of a serial killer who was leaving torsos in the river and taunting notes to police," the newspaper notes.
There's no word on whether the movie might be shot in Cleveland.
Cleveland Indians
fans are among the least-engaged with their team in Major League Baseball, according to
this Forbes.com story
based on data compiled by
The TicketCity algorithm incorporates attendance, median ticket price, ticket demand and social media to come up with an engagement score. The most engaged fan base is the San Francisco Giants — not hard, when you win the World Series — and the least engaged, no surprise, is the Miami Marlins.
The Indians are ranked 26th in MLB. Only the Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox are less compelling to their fans.

Re: Your reason for joining
Well, right now we don't have any openings but if the current boarder mission extends and gets larger then we will. Currently the mission is only open to members of the AZNG but if it becomes anything like Operation Jump Start was a few years ago you can bet that it will open up to all of the NG. The good old rumor mil says it will get extended and the number of soldiers needed will double. The rumor came from a pretty reliable source so we shall see. If I get a confirmed word I'll shoot you a PM right away, I happen to work in the J-1 ; ).

The Service
Hi.I'm using Astrid on web as well as on my Android phone. I've noticed that even though I set due date (i.e. date and time) when creating a task, the task has no reminders set and therefore doesn't trigger an alarm on my phone. I see this frequently when creating tasks on the web, and the task i sync'ed over to my phone, but I believe I've seen this happening when creating tasks on the phone directly. For my use, it's pointless setting a due date and time, but have no alarm reminding me of the task. So is there a way to enforce that all tasks that are created or sync'ed over to my phone, will have reminders activated?Best regards,Kenneth Holter
Posted at 7:08am on January 3, 2013
Hi Kenneth,If you're looking for help with Astrid, you may want to try contacting their developers. Their website can be found here.In Remember The Milk, reminders are sent based on a task's due date. You can control when and where reminders are sent in the Settings > Reminders section of the web app.This page gives a quick overview of the available reminder options.Hope this helps!
Posted 2 years ago
Well, this is embarrassing, the post was intended for Astrid, not RTM. Thanks for the help anyway.

We are delighted to announce the latest addition to the legendary range of Fairline Boats, the Targa 53GT.
ExploreThe latest addition to the legendary range of Fairline Boats, the Squadron 53.
ExploreIntroducing the new Targa 38 Shadow-S. Making a strong and powerful statement.
ExploreWelcome to the Squadron 48, where attention to detail and ingenuity are used to create unforgettable experiences. You can enjoy this Squadron in so many ways; for its size it is destined to be one of the most enjoyable yachts on the water.
ExploreBeautifully crafted for pure enjoyment at speed and at rest, this sun-loving Targa sports an electric hardtop. Prepare to transform your environment at the touch of a button…
ExploreWith its roof open to the skies above and a large rear sunpad inviting you to soak up the sun, this thoroughbred Targa is ready to take the true Mediterranean spirit and style to the rest of the world.
ExploreThe new Squadron 60 is a wonderful addition to the world-renowned Squadron flybridge range. Quite simply, it's a beautiful yacht to behold - understated elegance disguising the fact that it is packed with innovative features.
ExploreThis remarkable creation is the new flagship of the Targa range and true to its status boasts a host of new and innovative features. For this is a beautifully built Fairline that sun-worshippers are going to love…
ExploreAs with every Squadron, the 65 gives you the distinct impression of being on board a very large yacht. The flybridge has been designed with sociability in mind and features comprehensive entertainment facilities and two large, luxurious daybeds. A central window runs the full length of the sun pad on the foredeck bringing daylight into the forward cabin and adding a stylish look to the exterior.
ExploreThis remarkable new 42 is every inch a Squadron, and takes its place in a range which includes our most visually inspiring and exclusive models. The huge, panoramic windows are a strong visual feature and flood the interior with light. This creates a real sense of 'big boat' luxury, further enhanced by the extra-large flybridge and walk-around side decks.
ExploreOur mission for this latest addition to the Squadron range was to create the true class leader in terms of spaciousness, relative to yachts of similar length. The Squadron 50 has achieved this ambition with the help of two particular features - the 'full length' hull design and our unique Tender Launch System. These innovations have made more internal space available for our designers and the result is a level of luxury accommodation and cruising practicality unmatched by any competitor.
ExploreDespite its compact size, this sleek, powerful 38-footer punches well above its weight, offering more luxury accommodation and practical features than any other sports cruiser in its class. Built to the same thoroughbred standard of quality and engineering as the larger models, the smallest Targa in this well-proven range has won numerous European awards, including Motorboat of the Year.
ExploreIntroducing the long-awaited hard top version of the celebrated Targa 38. This sleek, powerful 38-footer offers more luxury accommodation and practical features than any other express cruiser in its class. And now, to top it all, it boasts a smooth gliding electric roof for thrilling convertible fun.
ExploreThe Targa 50GT demonstrates all the practical design elements for which these long range cruisers are famous. The most striking features of this latest design are the sweeping panoramic windows and the choice of having your living space fully open or fully closed by operating the smooth-sliding roof. The well-positioned aft galley also adds to the sense of open alfresco living.
ExploreThe elegant, award-winning Squadron 78 CUSTOM draws on a 40-year heritage. From the well-proven hull to the exquisite furnishings and cabinetry, more than 12,000 Fairlines stand behind the creation of this peerless luxury motor yacht. As its name implies, a high level of customisation is available and clients can rely on the specialist advice and experience of our Yacht Division throughout the order and commissioning process.
ExploreThe Squadron flybridge range delivers exclusivity, elegance and performance in equal measures. Free-flowing sociable living spaces are at the heart of every model.
ExploreThe Targa range sets a benchmark for the modern express cruiser, combining powerful muscular grace with large, luxuriously equipped living areas.

Someone who is too lazy to brush the snow off of their car before driving it and instead brush just enough off to see through. The result is a vehicle almost completely covered in snow with the exception of a small opening on the windshield thereby giving the vehicle the appearance of a tank.
I almost got hit by a tank driver as I drove into work today after the snow storm. He couldn't see me with all the snow on his car!

The hot streak the Baltic girls basketball team has been continued to roll last week, winning all three contests by large margins.The Bulldogs rounded out the week with a 69-44 win over Viborg-Hurley Friday night.Picking up where they left off in their previous games, the Bulldogs got off to a quick start and found themselves up 43-27 at the half.Morgan Forsch scored 23 points to lead the Bulldogs, who finished the week with a 9-2 record.Allie Walter added 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Hansich added 12 points, seven rebounds and five steals.Two nights prior, Baltic was in Salem for its most competitive contest of the week.

Hello IMPBA CD's,

Re: 2011 Race Calandar 4 years 3 months ago #292
IMPBA Website Update
First off thanks to the first few CD's who sent in race flyers. We have been able to find out some things that do and do not work posting race flyer information. First the things that do work: MS Word docs are by far working out the best. Bill Kozuck with the Southern Tier club race flyer came out looking really nice on the calendar. You can see Southern Tier race flyers on any month between May and October. PDF Files are working. Unfortunately they just are not as nice looking on the web page as they are when I copy them from the PDF. They lose some of the formatting. If that is what you have we will make it work. It just won't look as nice on the web page as the printed page. The site mapping software is working very nicely. I put in the address and we have Google Maps to the race site. Now the thing that do not work: Graphics are not being copied over. Club logos and other graphics will not copy. Colons ":" just do not work. The software behind the web page hates them. So sent in your Race/Record Trial Flyer Info and we can get it on the Event Calendar once the sanction is approved. Thanks, -Bob |
