The SQLite Encryption Extension (SEE) is an add-on to the public domain version of SQLite that allows an application to read and write encrypted database files. Four different encryption algorithms are supported:
SEE is a drop-in replacement for public-domain SQLite. An SEE-enhanced SQLite library can read and write ordinary unencrypted database files created by a public-domain SQLite in addition to reading and writing encrypted database files. In fact, an application can use the ATTACH command of SQLite to simultaneously talk to two or more database some of which are encrypted and others not. Each database file can have its own encryption key.
SEE encrypts the entire database file - both data and metadata. To an outside observer, an encrypted SQLite database file appears to be white noise. Both the database file itself and its rollback journal are encrypted.
After opening a new database file (and before doing anything else) the application activates SEE by issuing one of the following pragmas:
PRAGMA key=text-key; PRAGMA hexkey=hexadecimal-key;
The encryption key is the same in either case. The hexkey pragma merely makes it easier to support binary key material. The encryption key can also be set using C-language APIs instead of PRAGMA statements, if desired.
The encryption key can be changed at any time using similar "rekey" and "hexrekey" pragmas statements or another C-language API. Changing the encryption key involves reading and writing the entire database file.
All other interfaces to SQLite continue to work exactly the same in SEE as they do in public-domain SQLite. SEE is a drop-in replacement for public-domain SQLite that simply adds the new encryption interfaces.
The SEE is shipped as source code. You are responsible for compiling it yourself. But SEE is written entirely in uncomplicated ANSI-C code. If you are able to compile the public domain SQLite, then you should have no difficulty compiling the SEE.
Public-domain SQLite is normally delivered as a single large source-code file named "sqlite3.c". SEE is delivered the same way - as a single large source code file. The SEE source code file is often given a different name, to avoid confusing it with public-domain SQLite, but you can also call it "sqlite3.c" if you desire. In that case, in order to add SEE to your application, all you need to do is to replace the public-domain "sqlite3.c" source file with the SEE-enabled "sqlite3.c" source file and recompile. (You'll also need to add a new compile-time option, -DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC, to enable the encryption logic.) The added SEE logic makes no operating system calls nor calls to external library routines, so if your build works with public-domain SQLite, it is certain to also work with SEE.
The SEE source code also includes an enhanced version of the SQLite Command-Line Interface (CLI) that supports SEE with additional command-line options, "-key" and "-hexkey", that are used to specify the encryption key.
After you purchase a license to use SEE, we will email you a username and password that lets you access the on-line configuration management system for SEE. You will be able to log on whenever you want to download the latest source code and documentation for SEE. Your password will never expire, so you can log in again in the future, as often as you like, to download updates and enhancements to SEE.
The SEE is licensed software. Here is a copy of a sample license agreement. Your license is perpetual. You can ship as many compiled, binary copies of SQLite with your commercial product as long as each copy is attached to your product in such a way that it cannot be separated from your product. Normally this means that you should statically link SEE with your product, thought exceptions to this rule can be made as circumstances require. There are no per-copy royalties are fees and there are no license renewals.
Your SEE license is valid for multiple products as long as all products are developed and maintained by a single team. For the purposes of this paragraph a "team" is a group of people who work together and all know each others names. For smaller organizations, an entire company is usually considered a single team. However, for larger firms, we may ask that different project teams each acquire their own separate license.
The cost of a perpetual source code license for SEE is US $2000. You can order on-line or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call during east-coast business hours: +1.704.948.4565.
The base price of SEE does not include support. We will answer a few simple questions to help you get started, and we will fix any bugs you find within 90 days of purchase. But for help beyond this, we ask that you obtain an Annual Maintenance Subscription for SQLite. An Annual Maintenance Subscription entitles you to support for both SEE and for the public-domain SQLite code.
Higher levels of support are available on a negotiated basis. Baseline support packages include a Technical Support Agreements and SQLite Consortium Membership. Consortium membership is the highest level of support offered. The US $2000 SEE license fee is waived for Consortium members.
If you have other questions about SQLite, please contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at +1.704.948.4565 during east-coast business hours.

The St. Louis County School District, awash in red ink, hopes to stay afloat financially by jettisoning nearly $2 million in expenses. It won't be an easy task and will challenge board members' best efforts to shield students as much as possible from the cuts.
Even so, that mantra — keep the cuts away from the kids — should be foremost in board members' thoughts as they consider all the options for reducing expenses.
The proposals brought to the board's study session on Friday seemed to counter that goal, with the bulk of staff reductions occurring in classrooms and a call for much more modest cuts in administration. Board member Chet Larson made the same observation, chiding the district for maintaining deans while cutting teachers.
The priorities outlined in those proposals betray district decision-makers' reluctance to shake up the status quo — a recurring problem that has led to ballooning costs in administration at the expense of students.
The district's restructuring plan was supposed to address those issues by consolidating students in fewer school buildings, leading to savings in both operations and staffing. Staff savings have yet to materialize, in part because the district has done little to curb its administrative structure and, in some cases, expanded it. While the district has made significant cuts in support staff, cutting part-time food service, custodial and secretarial staff doesn't produce big savings.
Meanwhile, the district's operating costs have not gone down as predicted, but are actually rising. Utility costs at the South Ridge School during its first year of operation exceeded the combined costs of AlBrook and Cotton. Part of that is due to the remote location of the new schools, which required the district to install their own water and sewage treatment systems and absorb the additional costs.
If anything, the district's fiscal condition is worse today than before restructuring. Two years ago, the district had an unreserved general fund balance of $3.7 million. But back-to-back years of $1 million-plus deficits have depleted the reserves and the district is on the verge of statutory operating debt.
Given the circumstances, staff cuts are inevitable. Nearly 80 percent of the district's operating costs go to labor and since teachers comprise the largest group of employees, cuts are bound to touch their ranks.
However, that doesn't excuse the high administrative costs for ISD 2142 compared to other districts of similar scope. The district has defended its administrative costs in the past, arguing that consolidating a variety of services for five schools is more efficient. But the facts say otherwise.
A 2010 analysis of financial data compiled by the Minnesota Department of Education revealed that more than three dozen of the state's smallest school districts spent far less to administer their districts and schools than ISD 2142 spends on administration of a single school. The data reflected costs for the 2008-09 school year.
The district's high administrative costs also drew the attention of now retired MDE financial officer Charles Speiker. In 2008, Speiker told the board that the district's administrative costs were the highest of any similary-sized district in the state. Little has changed in the four years since Speiker's report to the board.
That's because the district has resisted efforts to think outside the box. Some districts have streamlined administrative costs by combining tasks in a single position. For instance, Littlefork-Big Falls superintendent also serves as the school's K-12 principal and wears the hats for transportation, food service and facilities directors. Other districts have cut costs by closing or downsizing administrative centers and redeploying staff to multiple sites where they can assume additional roles.
While ISD 2142 may not be able to duplicate every move by smaller districts, there are steps it could take to curb administrative costs. Closing the Virginia office would be a good start. Operational expenses alone amount to roughly $70,000 a year, but the biggest savings could be achieved by redeploying office staff to the district's schools, where they could provide secretarial and other services in addition to their regular duties. What's more, the superintendent could serve as principal at the school in which her office is based, saving at least $110,000 a year in principal salary and benefits. The district also needs to combine some functions. It just has too many "directors" being paid big salaries and lucrative benefits. An aggressive approach to consolidating administration could easily save the district $500,000 a year, without impacting the classroom.
Clearly these would be dramatic changes in how ISD 2142 operates. But the case can be made that the present system has led to an ongoing financial struggle. The district, which pinned its hopes on obtaining fiscal stability with its restructuring plan, needs to look for a different solution now that it is clear the restructuring won't achieve the savings that district officials promised to voters. As they map out a path forward, administrative cuts should be at the top of the agenda.
Is it time to ask the state for an audit? How much more money do these " leaders" need?

Below are replica M16 Airsoft Rifles. The original M16 entered United States Army service and was put into action for jungle warfare in South Vietnam in 1963, becoming the standard U.S. rifle of the Vietnam War by 1969, replacing the M14 rifle in that role. Since the Vietnam War, the M16 rifle family has been the primary infantry rifle of the U.S. military. The M16 is in use by 15 NATO countries and more than 80 countries world wide. Together, numerous companies in the United States, Canada, and China have produced more than 8,000,000 rifles of all variants making it the most manufactured rifle in the world. Approximately 90% are still in operation.

Daybreak Doppler: No Pushover For The Packers This Time
This week's Daybreak Doppler Dames theme is Women of Fox Sports 1.
Erin Andrews
Like clockwork, It's a Thursday afternoon, so the Brewers lose 5-1 .
Awful swell of him, Hart Could Take Discount & End Brewers' Misery at 1B .
Not too surprising here, Morgan Burnett Is a "Long Shot" to Play Against Bengals .
Didn't see this happening, Quarless as the Packers Fullback? Intriguing…
Looking back one last time, Packers-Redskins Grades: How Pro Football Focus Graded the Game .
Madtown Badgers has Five Things to Watch for Against Purdue .
Bucky's 5th Quarter on how Beau Allen getting more comfortable as Wisconsin's 3-4 nose guard .
More recruiting news from Paint Touches, Hill shortens list, down to Marquette, Mizzou?
This is hardly a ringing endorsement, Silver: Bradley Center is unfit for league .
Yep, have uttered a few of these before, 20 Lies Sports Fans Tell Themselves .
They need to make these for adults, Star Wars Speeder Bike Power Wheels .
Whoa… These emails may be the scariest thing a bride has ever written to her bridesmaids .
Should you be headed that way, 7 NON-club places on the Strip you absolutely need to party at .
I could add to this, 45 Employers Reveal The Most Ludicrous Things They've Ever Read On A Resume .
Another Test Awaits – Another Friday & another weekend of football to look forward to. For the Packers, it means a trip East to Cincinnati where these days the Bengals are anything but assumed win they used to be. I don't think Cincy is as daunting a foe as San Fran was but this game won't be the cake walk we saw against Washington last weekend in Lambeau. Andy Dalton is coming into his own & he has a great target in A.J. Green which could prove a task for the Packers secondary to defend against especially if they're short handed back there again. All in all, this has the makings of an entertaining game but a game I do believe the Packers will be winning.
The Badgers have to be chomping at the bit to get back on the field after last weekend's mess & I almost feel bad for underdog Purdue, but not bad enough to enjoy watching them lose by a large margin on Saturday. So with that happy note I'll bid you all adieu, enjoy the games and we'll see you back here Monday morning.

Advance Product Notice: From the Banana Patch - Banana Peel Dispatch #1: "Coming Soon" from Six Banana Design the "Son of Balrog (SOB)" a Remote Canister Stove that will start an Ultra-Light Revolution. Watch for more information from the Banana Patch about the SOB as it alone will Revolutionize the Ultra-Light Stove Industry. "SUL you SOB" From the Banana Patch - Banana Peel Dispatch #2:We are sorry to announce that the first bath tub of SOB's sank in choppy water off the coast of Florida. All SOB's were lost. We are working very hard to fine larger more sea worthy bath tubs for our next shipment. "SUL you SOB"
Both points taken. Not sure all will find your post humorous. It is both clever and witty. You don't seem to pull any punches. It is good that you used humor to make your points. It may make it less offensive to some. I hope that you don't offend anyone.
Also hope you are not offended when others seemed to disagree with you on what constitutes UL. It is only a matter of preference and perspective. Their view is a bit different than yours because they are viewing the situation with a different set of priorities and goals. Neither is wrong. Each is an individual preference. Each is valid given the difference in goals wanting to be achieved. The view may appear different depending upon which hilltop one is standing.
Thanks Anonymously,Chaff:Unrelated to any of the forums above. No rules regarding the topic. Opinions, politics, the benefits of heavy gear, you name it. Please, no commercial posts, and NO SPAM.

Gorilla Cookies Manufacturing would like to annouce their new ultralight cooking system called cord of wood or COW for short. This new method of ultralight cooking is easily adjustable to trip length and expected weather,sundry materials for varying heat outputs, accessory drag sled in carbo/titanium available for desert or snow trips. New ul girl/boyscout water stove starter in beta stage. Honcho-Boncho the Masked Porkchop @ gorillacookies llc.
I assume that, simultaneously with the release of the COW, you will also release a titanium/carbon fiber smoke shifter, in both a left and right hand version? Or would that just be milking the COW?
We've been testing a vapor barrier model but haven't recieved any feedback from our intrepid testers. We are beginning to think they've either hijacked our idea and are in route to our competition at Six Banana Design or perhaps have not survived the experience. Since it is our motto to do all shakedown testing by releasing the product to the public and gleaning the feedback from the first users, a business model developed by microsoft,we are not going to call out SARs to locate our field testers though perhaps there might be some new openings. All new product testers recieve the latest versions of our line, bus fare to the edge of their local towns, and a generous supply of magic flame intiating sticks. The usual legal disclaimers apply. Thanks ,Honcho/Boncho aka the masked porkchop.
>>We've been testing a vapor barrier model but haven't recieved any feedback from our intrepid testers. Ahh, so that's what happened to RJ. Well, at least the test prototype can be recovered next Spring.
You may not be able to recover it - did you design it to be biodegradable? By the way, let's call it the Balrog Shifter, or BS for short.
From Six Banana Design: Banana Peel Dispatch #4Hot off the Banana Vine:The Six Banana Designs is sorry to report that while our last supply run from Florida was floating to our production facility a group of COW back boys were picked out of the water. They seemed to be tangled up in Wal Mart plastic bags. I regreat to announce that the COW boys did not make it. They keep mumbling the bags don't work, the bags don't work, please tell Honcho/Boncho that the bags don't work. I am not sure what the purpose of the Wal Mart bags happened to but it looked like they had tried to wear them. They were very red and it looked like the Plastic Bags may have cooked their cookies. After dividing up their belongings they were given a proper sea burial. Hey Joe, here comes another shark are you ready with the next bunch?Pictures coming soon.
Engineering is quite concerned that our new line of "Hefty" rainwear,in various mils, has had a color/dye shift from sea water exposure or possible it's just an algae bloom which marketing has informed us will allow our new "lighter than a bag of smoke" line of bags and tents to hit the consumer soon. The new smoke color should be a nice change from what is currently available, as a side bar they are also slightly smoke flavored which could help in those emergency situations. Following a new truth in advertising policy the 2# bag weighs 2#, the 3# weighs 3, our 4# tent, originaly named the mt. marcy, uses space age beverage can material for pole construction and a new patented fabric called stoprip. Watch this space for information about our southern grown water absorbing clothing line, natural skinned fruit flavored food pods, and recyclable scene rendering pads with resharpenable all weather stylus or click on the pop-up free,dialer free, spyware free web page for more information. You'ld be a monkey to accept imitations, h/b of the mask.
We're also proud to announce our newest product, which renders the Platypus and other water containers obsolete: H2gOne, the world's first freeze-dried water. You can carry a 3-day supply in half a dozen large ziploc bags, folded and stored in a single map pocket. To use, simply add purified water, let stand 10 minutes, and drink. No measuring required - you can make whatever quantity you need, from a teaspoon to a gallon. Did I mention it weighs nothing - perfect for those going for a sub-1 pound pack.
H2gOne was ordered recalled today after it was pointed out that it's primary additive, Di-Hydrogen Monoxide is a menace to the Environment and to Public Health and Safety.Namely---is also known as Hydroxyl Acid or Hydrogen Hydroxide, and is the major component of acid rain.-contributes to the "greenhouse effect."-may cause severe burns which can be fatal, -especially to children.-contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.-accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of motor vehicle brakes and other vital components.-has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.Fleets of Tanker Trucks are standing by.
In connection with that recall, we have also determined that the used plastic soda bottles in which H2gOne was sold have been contaminated by contact with the product, and cannot be recycled into Patagucci fleece or protective handles for the BS. If you have such packaging, be aware that it must be handled as toxic waste.

Too bad about the delays of COW. I had been hoping to team the COW with the new Professional Lighting and Oxygenating Periphenalia system for rapid ignition of the COW. Now, that's COW+PLOP!
it seems only appropriate to end this thread with a COW PLOP, doesn't it?

From Six Banana Design: Banana Peel Dispatch #5Hot from the Banana Vine: The Banana Patch is happy to announce that we have acquired a new form of transportation. We have made a test run and it seems to handle the water fine. Something in the water however, seems to have caused the paint to turn a strange shade of green.

It is with great regret that we must annouce the dissolution of Gorilla Cookies Mfg. and an end of the honcho boncho way. Our ceo , Mr. Boncho is currently in federal custody for counterfeiting wilderness and trail permits,removal of national park property, , and national park passes with a 3d holograph of John Wayne.It seems in trying to support the sul lifestyle and his addiction to equipment Mr. Boncho crossed to the dark side and in trying to curb cost overruns much of the material for the COW was aquired in Stehekin,Wa. just inside North Cascades National Park. Currently heavily sedated many federal employees are gripped with fear that he may turn witness for the prosecution in federal land management cases.
Edited by pyeyo on 01/06/2006 14:22:56 MST.
We are in the final stages of testing the new "rather unpleasant person" stove (think of it as a much lighter version of SOB). This has a secret method of transferring fuel from the canister to the jet which works at ranges up to 1350 miles,thus allowing the canister to be left at home saving packweight and keeping the canister warm in winter. Further weight savings come from not having any pan support or windscreen. Instead the pot sits on the ground with the burner in a hole beneath it. (For your information, Bill, the hole is dug with my overgrown pinky nail, which we have already established elsewhere is lighter than your overgrown thumb nail.)If they want to save the SOB that Banana bunch had better come up with a good offer to buy up and suppress the RUP.

Guv: Aquino may lead cyber centre inauguration-A A +A
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III may lead the inauguration of the Negros First Cyber Centre in May 15, the day he is confirmed to arrive in the province to inaugurate a solar plant in San Carlos City.
Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. said Tuesday that the Office of the President have been making inquiries about the Cyber Centre which is almost complete at this time.
"Since he will be here, we proposed that he lead the inauguration of the Cyber Centre," the governor said.
The three-storey Information Technology (IT) complex is expected to start its operations in June this year.
He said the Monetary Board of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has approved the complex's funding which cost P157.5 million for its second phase development.
He added the structure is almost complete, except for the installation of the air-conditioning system, standby generator, generating sets, and parking area.
The IT complex, whose first phase development costs P450 million, will have 10,000 square meters (sqm) of rentable BPO space, 6,000 sqm of commercial spaces or 120 stalls, and 1,000 sqm of incubation for start-up or small companies.
The governor said a number of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms have signified their interest to lease spaces in the Cyber Centre.
The bidding for the commercial lease on the first floor of the Cyber Centre will be announced soon, he added.
Aside from being invited to grace the Cyber Center opening, the President was also requested to attend the inauguration of a diversion road in Sagay City which was realized through the funding of the National Government under the Aquino administration.

Tag: Coin Lock
Time Flies? No it doesn't, it got sucked into a Rift!
by Raziel317 on Apr.15, 2011, under Articles
It's been a month already?
Can you believe we are already paying our first month subs, or in my case 6 months? Time really did get sucked into Rift!
It has been a month filed with many ups and very few downs, although the security issue kind of made up for there being very few downs. Despite it affecting less then 1% of accounts, it has been an issue that has overshadowed a near perfect launch.
So, Trion and Rift's 1st month. It's been an interesting one, let's see what has happened!
(continue reading…)
Continuing the topic of Security.
by Raziel317 on Apr.07, 2011, under Articles
Shyntyrr has pretty much covered everything you could want to know about Security and I don't want to drone on about the same subject but now that the Coin Lock has been implemented I wanted to cover that and impact.
The Issue
Masses of players have been affected by the hacking of accounts — it is in no doubt an epidemic of epic proportions. No game has seen this level of "hackery" (made up word) ever. This is both a good and very bad thing. Well, ok, it's only a very bad thing. However, it is interesting to see so much interest in the game, isn't it?
The Resolution…?
The levels in Rift are staggering and in order to stem the tide of "hackery" (I am going to keep using it, get used to it!) Trion has implemented the Coin Lock system — a system that will basically lock down some functionality of your account if it is accessed from an IP address outside your normal range.
What does this mean?
Well it means that if you are hacked by a little evil doer from somewhere else in the world, they cannot sell your stuff or mess with the Auction House… but they can level for you! It does create a small amount of inconvenience if, say, you go to a mate's house or play away from home — the game that is — but is a little inconvenience a problem? Clearly the answer is no.
(continue reading…)
With Coin Lock, We Can Breathe Now
by Arianne on Mar.25, 2011, under Articles
This week has been a quite a frantic one in RIFT, but our troubles have finally started to lessen. With Trion's introduction of Coin Lock, we can breathe — but not necessarily easily.
First of all, it's important to note that Coin Lock doesn't prevent unauthorized access to your account. Even with it in place, Trion is still asking us to watch out for the security of our accounts: should you mysteriously receive a Coin Lock email for no apparent reason, don't forget to let Trion know that you're having security issues!
In a way, Coin Lock is like a burglar alarm. You might have a little notice on your window saying that an alarm will sound if someone breaks in, but it doesn't actually keep anyone from breaking in — they can, and will still try, to break in — but at least you'll be able to know when they do.
As long as we are careful, Coin Lock can be a great tool in keeping your account more secure. When logging in from a unknown location, your hacker will discover that he can't do much — except spam chat and level you. While the chat spam wouldn't do much other than making all your friends hate you and having half the shard ignore you, the leveling might actually help you out in the long run!
We'd like to introduce our second new writer to The Rift! Arianne is new to Rift and decided to play Rift after being surrounded by a bright shiny light a few times! Leveled Up! Go ahead and let her know what you think in the comments! If you're interested in helping out, send an email to email@example.com!

what does it mean when you bleed after sex everytime?
- Asked by A Thinker, Female, 29-35
Means you need to get checked out.

It means you need to go see your doctor. Bleeding every time is a serious conditions depending how long you have been bleeding.
- Response by megadisk, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 36-45, Other Profession
I am right there with u hun. I haven't had sex for 11 months and I finally got some. The guy wasn't huge at all and afterwards he asked me if it was that time of the month. I was soooooo embarassed. I said no and that I was sorry. I called my doctor and she said that it is normal, sometimes the body will react like that when its the first time, rough sex, or been quite some time. I spotted for 2 days, I was not in any pain and everything seems to be fine. If you are really worried, call ur doctor too! I am so glad that my man understood.

Mad Men's January Jones Epic GQ Drinking Adventure
GQ might just be my favorite magazine, and when the November issue found its way to me via a maze of forwarding addresses, I was very pleased to find the incredible January Jones of Mad Men on the cover. This pleasure was upgraded to a full-fledged mutiny when I found that her story was chock full of fine beverage awesomeness.
Here are some fine beverage bits from the piece, "OH, BETTY!" by Mark Kirby with killer photographs by Terry Richardson.
January wants to go to the Chili's near the H Gates. She loves the queso there. Loves it even though it doesn't always come in one of those little cast-iron skillets like at regular Chili's and they don't have a "red beer" (beer and tomato juice) here like she's seen at the franchise's other midwestern outlets.
Because by now, January has already finished her first in-flight drink and is giving me a hard time for being slow on mine. It's clear that she's taking the notion of having fun on her "vacation" very seriously; it's up to me to keep pace. Shouldn't be a problem, I think. She's so small-give her another beer or two and she'll be asleep.
She's drinking Bud Light now, telling stories about growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where her family moved from Hecla (population 314) after she was born.
The flight attendant-older, highlights, annoyed-arrives. "Can I get another Bud Light?" "I think there's only one left," says the attendant. "You know what? She's trying to cut us off," January says when she's gone. "Apparently we're badly behaved."
We are drunk. Or at least I am. January swears that she's not really drunk at all, that she's been known to have a twelve-pack from time to time (liquor doesn't agree with her), and that once, in high school, she downed twenty-six beers in a single night. ("I threw up a lot. But it was a contest…. I hope this story isn't only about drinking.")
We have a breakfast date set for the next morning, at a little place in Los Feliz, to make sure we can cover the sorts of topics ("So, are you single?") that might be awkward to talk about over beers on a four-hour flight. January walks in-jeans, sunglasses, loose-fitting top-and promptly announces that she had two more beers after returning home from the airport, pushing her grand total up toward eight. "You remember last night?" I ask. "You said that in high school you once drank twenty-six!" "I did drink twenty-six," she replies coolly.
I order coffee, she orders orange juice, and we talk about her love life.
"Dear men of America, I like beer, I like football. I'm probably the most interesting girl you'll ever meet."
I definitely recommend picking up a copy and experiencing the story (and photos) in their hard copy splendor. (Also check out a brilliant three-page exploration of coffee, including Mutineer alum Zoka.)

Does anybody know any good resorces?
Currently I'm using the Univercity of Iceland's site. It's good, but sometimes its hard to understand because nothing is in english. So I thought perhaps it came with a text book, so if anybody knows what the textbook is called, that would be great. Or if they know a different icelandic learning book that is good. Or a site or anything.
Thanks Bunches.
There is no textbook as far as I know. When I do the lessons on that site, I always use wiktionary and this Icelandic-English dictionary (http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/IcelOnline/IcelOnline.TEId-idx?id=IcelOnline.IEOrd) to look up unfamiliar vocabulary. They left English out for a reason; you're meant to draw conclusions about the vocabulary and sentence structures from the context. As long as you have a dictionary handy for words that completely stump you, the lessons shouldn't be problematic.
I also use an Icelandic workbook called Hitt og Þetta. The PDF version is on the Námsgagnastofnun website (http://nams.is/) for free. Just type the title into the search bar that reads "leitarorð."
Not sure about a textbook specific to the University of Iceland stuff (I haven't even found their Icelandic material yet...) but here's a good resource for Icelandic:
Especially the video lessons are really great. And here are a few books you can download for free:
Tungumálatorg seems to be a great website, so many resources! Some of them are aimed at children, but there's also stuff for any level and resources specific for foreigners. I haven't quite deciphered much of it yet, but I'm starting with the video lessons.
I'm using Teach Yourself Icelandic and Colloquial Icelandic. They're both very good, but I suggest to start with the first one if you're a beginner, cause Colloquial is more complicated.

5 Best Practices for Reducing Handle Time
By Greg Levin
In successful call centers today, metrics like first-call resolution, quality and customer satisfaction have replaced average handle time (AHT) as the key performance indicator. Still in all, these centers haven't stopped trying to reduce AHT—nor should they. Instead, they continually look for organic ways to gain call efficiencies via better processes, technologies and training—ways that make customers and agents rejoice rather than revolt.
Though certainly not an exhaustive list, the following are some of the best ways call centers can bring AHT and associated costs down while raising FCR, C-Sat and agent engagement through the roof.
1. Educate agents on AHT and implement fair objectives. Healthy reduction in AHT starts with not only taking the time to fully understand the meaning and aforementioned ideal uses of the metric, but also ensuring that your agents do, too. Top call centers educate agents on what AHT is, how it is used in planning and scheduling, and how keeping it in check helps not only keep costs down but also improve the customer—and the agent—experience. Most importantly, these centers make it clear that AHT reduction is really the responsibility of managers and supervisors—not agents. After all, it's up to the former to ensure that agents are properly prepared to handle calls efficiently and effectively, and that the center's systems and processes don't hinder agents' ability to do so.
2. Provide focused coaching to help agents with call-control issues. Supervisors and coaches in top centers don't approach AHT-challenged agents with numbers; rather they take time to first listen to some recorded calls (including screen capture) to uncover what actions and behaviors of the agent might be adding undue length to their customer interactions. Such analysis might reveal that the agent lacks product/service knowledge or struggles with screen toggling and data entry, or maybe just needs to be a little more assertive with customers who view the interaction as a chance to socialize.
Once supervisors/coaches spot the agent's weakness(es), they can provide personalized coaching, where the focus is on actions and behaviors—not on minutes or seconds. Give an agent more product knowledge or show them how to quickly access information, and AHT will soon take care of itself.
3. Master workforce management. Call centers that become masters of forecasting and scheduling almost always have the right number of agents with the right skills in place at the right times. This impacts AHT by shortening wait times in queue, thus keeping customers from becoming frustrated and venting to agents at the start of the call.
Many leading call centers have further reduced AHT by adding a skills-based routing element to their workforce management repertoire. While sometimes challenging to manage, skills-based routing gets the customer to the most qualified available agent based on the customer's specific need, thus reducing handle time directly (the agent has the specific skills or knowledge to handle the call efficiently and effectively), as well as indirectly (less customer frustration since the call is handled well with no or limited transfers).
4. Continually evaluate and improve workflows and desktop resources. Just because all of your agents perform within the acceptable AHT range in your call center doesn't mean that problems don't exist. Even more important than uncovering opportunities to improve individual agents' AHT via coaching and training is removing barriers that inhibit all agents' ability to maximize efficiencies.
The sharpest centers continually evaluate systems, screens and workflows to make sure that they are working properly and feature the most agent-friendly (and, thus, customer-friendly) design. While many centers use their quality monitoring system to observe how quickly and easily agents are able to move through screens and access data, most have found that the best way to identify improvements to scripts, workflows and desktop resources is to simply ask agents for their input on the matter—via surveys, team meetings, "town-hall" discussions and one-on-ones. Numerous call centers have even created special agent-led task forces that focus on things like workflow improvements and technology/systems enhancements that can help speed transactions and improve the customer experience.
5. Reward agents for positive accomplishments. This does not mean rewarding staff simply for AHT reduction, as doing so tempts agents to sacrifice the customer in order to achieve "enviable" AHT numbers. Instead, top call centers create AHT-related incentives that always take other key metrics and the customer experience into consideration. For instance, many centers reward and recognize agent teams who are able to raise quality scores, FCR rates and/or C-sat rates while reducing AHT—or even just maintaining it within an acceptable range. Rewarding and recognizing agents and teams that identify ways to improve call handling while maintaining a strong customer focus is another great way to keep staff engaged, customers happy and costs down.

Who's to Blame for Another Allergy Tragedy?
Posted By Gwen Smith On 2012/01/18 @ 4:00 pm In Gwen Smith: From the Editor's Desk | 4 Comments
Virginia's Chesterfield County police have determined that there was no criminal negligence on the part of the school personnel in the tragic food-allergy death of 7-year-old Amarria Johnson [1] on January 2, 2012.
Also cleared of criminal wrongdoing, thankfully, was the child on the school playground who, not knowing of the allergy, handed Amarria the fateful peanut – which Amarria then popped in her mouth and swallowed. I can only imagine the particular hell that child, and also the teacher and health-clinic aide who attempted to help Amarria in the short period before her death all must feel today.
Of course, I wish they had all acted differently that day. I especially wish that clinic aide had taken one of the auto-injectors available at the school, but prescribed to other children, and ripped off the safety cap, injected it into Amarria's thigh as she descended into anaphylaxis – an injection that most likely would have saved her life. But it was against the school's rules to do so, possibly against the law as epinephrine in Virginia, as in so many states, can be taken to school, but can only be administered to the person named on the prescription label.
In the online aftermath of this tragedy, some are admonishing Amarria's mother Laura Pendleton, asking why she hadn't provided an epinephrine auto-injector to the school. But I can't find it in my heart to blame a mother mourning the loss of her little girl. In her shoes, what mother wouldn't already be plagued by self-recrimination and "if only I hads". Besides, we don't even know whether it was the school's fault or Pendleton's oversight that Amarria didn't have an auto-injector at school.
As CNN reported [2], Pendleton has said she asked a school official about sending an auto-injector in with her daughter, but was told, no, please just keep it at home. The school has said only that there was no device provided for the child. It gets murky and he said/she said. The only point of raising this is: a big part of the preventing future tragedies has to be that epinephrine is available at all times to any child at risk of anaphylaxis at school.
Now here's where I do find fault, with all of us as an allergy community and with the lack of communication about the importance of the auto-injector, most commonly known being the EpiPen brand. As a community of parents and advocates, we spend an awful lot of time talking about the fact that an allergen like peanut can kill, but we don't give equal time to talking about epinephrine, the drug that can turn off the anaphylactic reaction like a faucet.
Nor do we remember that we need to continuously impress upon others the relative safety of that drug and, thirdly, the absolute need for speed when a food or sting allergy reaction is in progress. We grow so familiar with this knowledge that we at times forget to share it. Let's consciously change that.
Next: A lifesaver of a drug
From previous page
In the aftermath of Amarria's death, a spokesman for Hopkins Elementary, the school Amarria attended, suggested that there might be a problem if a child was given the drug in error. Hogwash.
People think "drug" and they worry about what it might do or about giving it in the wrong circumstance. Epinephrine may be a drug, but allergists who are experts on it say that if you used auto-injector by mistake on a person who didn't need it, that person might get the jitters, maybe a stomach ache, or at worst, vomiting. In other words, it is considered a very safe drug. The consequences of not using it when needed are far greater than those of administering it when its use is questionable.
At a medical conference back in 2005, I interviewed Dr. Estelle Simons, an allergist and renowned expert on anaphylaxis and epinephrine. We were speaking about the lack of public awareness of anaphylaxis and of what to do in an emergency. After our interview, she tracked me down to add: "We need to get the message out: It should be public policy to teach people that anaphylaxis can be fatal and that lives can be saved by prompt injection of epinephrine."
She was right then and she's right today. And more can be done to change the situation in schools.
If you live in the United States, what you can do to help with emergency prevention in the schools is to lobby Congress for a very important proposed piece of legislation: the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act [3], dubbed the "stock" epinephrine law for short. It encourages states to require schools to have a stock of auto-injectors that can be used for any student who is having an allergic reaction. The bill was introduced by two Illinois senators after a 13-year-old in Chicago inadvertently ate peanut at a class party and died. Another young life needlessly lost, another tragedy where epinephrine could have made the difference.
While Virginia's current self-carry allergy and asthma medications statute requires that epinephrine at school only be used for the student with a prescription, school staff everywhere need to be aware that all states (and provinces in Canada) have Good Samaritan's Laws. Most will protect people to follow their instincts in an anaphylaxis emergency, without fear of being sued.
Virginia's says: "Any person who, in good faith, renders emergency care or assistance, without compensation, to any ill or injured person at the scene of an accident, fire, or any life-threatening emergency … shall not be liable for any civil damages for acts or omissions resulting from the rendering of such care or assistance."
We who are familiar in our daily lives with food allergies clearly need to help educate the educators at our local schools. When you impress upon your child's teachers the seriousness of the allergy, don't forget to also stress that they need not fear the auto-injector nor the medication that's in it.
As a community, we have to convey that you don't wait to see what the ambulance worker will think or to see if the reaction will get worse. By the time the ambulance arrived for Amarria, she was in cardiac arrest. This just didn't have to be.
Let's do what we can to change the climate of fear around epinephrine. It's only a needle, one that will save a child's life.

First of all I just wanne say that it both sound god and its easy to use. I installed 3.6 AAX on win 7 64. However I don´t use it because when I reopen a session some tracks where i've used recab are not producing any sound. This is happening randomly not to all tracks. I have to unload the recab and then reload it as an insert in pro tools 10 (hdx). Ofcourse this takes a lot of time and therefore i´m not using it wichs it a little sad and a waist. Do you know about the problem?
I do inted to use it as soon as I can and I understand this thing kind of can happen so no bad feelings here.

A-Z Health Topics
Return to Index
Wernicke Encephalopathy
Wernicke encephalopathy is a brain disorder. It can lead to a variety of symptoms such as confusion, lack of muscle coordination, and eye movement difficulties.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Wernicke encephalopathy is caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. The deficiency may be caused by poor nutrition, problems absorbing vitamins, or both.
Vitamin B deficiency is common in those with alcoholism. Excessive intake of alcohol is associated with poor diets and damage to the intestines that make it difficult to absorb vitamins. However, not everyone with alcoholism develops Wernicke encephalopathy. A combination of genes and diet may play a role.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of Wernicke encephalopathy include:
- Alcoholism
- Poor nutrition or fasting
- A diet rich in carbohydrates
- Cancer and chemotherapy treatments
- Gastrointestinal disorders and surgical procedures
- Severe vomiting
- Systemic diseases such as AIDS , dialysis and renal diseases, infections, and thyroid disease
- Eating disorders
- Certain medications
Symptoms may include:
- Mental status changes, including confusion, poor concentration, lack of emotion, and memory loss
- Vision problems
- Poor coordination
- Difficulty walking and sitting
- Nausea and vomiting
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The level of thiamine in your blood will be measured. This can be done with a blood test.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
- Thiamin supplements—to treat the thiamine deficiency that is causing your Wernicke encephalopathy.
- Dietary changes—you will need to drink plenty of water. You may also be referred to a dietitian to help with meal planning, especially if your diet is high in carbohydrates.
If Wernicke encephalopathy is associated with alcoholism or an eating disorder, you may be referred to a rehabilitation facility.
To help reduce your chance of getting Wernicke encephalopathy, take these steps:
Ensure that you are getting enough thiamine in your diet.
- Daily goals are 1.1 mg a day for women and 1.2 mg a day for men
- Include foods rich in thiamine such as lentils, peas, fortified breakfast cereal, pecans, spinach, oranges, milk, and eggs
Limit your alcohol intake to a moderate level.
- Moderate is two or fewer drinks per day for men and one or fewer drinks per day for women
- If you have a drinking problem, talk to your doctor right away about treatment options.
