I've only been to the very small shop/kiosk at UCI (about 10 months ago). I went there to buy a U-lock. The guy who was working was friendly. However, when I arrived the shop appeared to be closed (when it should've been open). I poked around for a while, then the guy got out of his car and opened the shop. Apparently he was asleep because he rode a race in the Pasadena area earlier that morning. While I was there, he helped me pick an Axiom basket from a catalog and special ordered it for me. Overall, my experience was good.

Ravens, 49ers to hold joint practices after Week 1 preseason game
More NFL offseason: Mock Drafts | Prospect Rankings | Pro days | Top free agents
It looks like the Harbaugh brothers are going to get some extra family time together in August. John Harbaugh announced on Friday that his team will be holding joint practices with the 49ers following the Week 1 preseason game between the two teams.
The Harbaugh brothers like to do things differently and these joint practices are proof of that. Most NFL teams hold a joint practice in the days before they play another team, however, the Harbaughs are going to change it up and hold the practices after the Aug. 7 preseason game between Baltimore and San Francisco.
The 49ers will practice in Baltimore with the Ravens for 4 days after the first preseason game this year, Coach Harbaugh said.— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) April 19, 2014
That means the 49ers will be on the East Coast until Aug. 11 or 12, at which point the team will jet back to California to open up Levi's Stadium on Aug. 16 or 17 against the Broncos in Week 2 of the preseason.
John Harbaugh made the joint practice announcement from Oxford, Ohio. Both Harbaugh brothers are on the campus of Miami University where John is set to be inducted into the Cradle of Coaches. The school will be unveiling a statue for John on Saturday.

Lack of drama beaches 'Surfer'

If it would have been tweaked a little more, along the lines of 'more accurate' the movie would have been a little better. Other than that, it was a great movie. Truly inspiring.

This is a great product! Honestly, I use this to tight line my upper eye lid, and it works wonders! It's so easy to use, and pigmented to the right amount which is amazing! And at the bottom of the eyeliner, there is a sharpener that you can just pull out, but there is no need to sharpen because it already comes sharpened, and also even when it becomes dull, it's not to the point where the sharpener is ever needed, I've never had to use it! And don't use it, I tested it out, and it's a bad sharpener.... But I recommend this thing. Although it is a bit pricey, I suggest you give it a try!~
Color grouping for blue eyes is spot on. Applies fairly easy without too much tugging, since you want to be careful with the delicate eye region. If you set your shadow and liner with a light application of loose powder it will last longer. It does occasionally run, but I have problems with that on all eyeliners so I can't be objective about that. But you can carry it with you and gently remove the runs with just a tissue and reapply, and it looks as good as new.
As for the Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio: I love the Blue eyes trio, as the green eyes trio I can only wear the black and purple. The green color is gorgeous, but it has tiny micro glitter in it. I had the green liner on for about 20 minutes and could not stand it any longer, as it irritated my eyes with a slight burning sensation and my eyes became teary. Obviously I am allergic to the micro glitter which must have some form of metal in it. I cannot use any nickel or zinc metal on my skin I get severe rashes from these. The purple liner has no glitter, nor the black and I love this. These two have great staying power and seem waterproof. I had to use eye makeup remover to get it off my lower lash line.
I like that they have them matched to specific eye colors
This was bought as a stocking stuffer for my daughter. She loves it.
I ordered this online figured I would try it. I'm glad I did these are great for my green eyes. They make them pop. They are smooth and go on great with just one line. You know sometimes you have to go over it once or twice to get a good line. Not with these they are very pretty.

The services were below expected on the whole and we were left sorely disappointed given we paid a lot for the hostel/hotel. There was only warm and tepid water for the showers and they took at least 5 mins for it to heat up. The rooms itself were rather rudimentary and there was no heating at all, which was especially troubling given that we were travelling in winter. The positives: free Wifi and rather accessible buses outside the hotel into the city centre (took about 20 mins journey).

Staff were friendly and polite and the location was good with lots locally and manchester a short taxi journey. However the shower was useless (room 32), the carpet was filthy, the toilet seat was broken and the cold water tap wasnt that cold. All in all the room was fine but the bathroom needs major improvements, it looked old and was old.

The cleaner left one of our rooms unlocked, and half of our party had to move rooms the second night because of a leaking toilet. they had mentioned this in the morning, but it was not fixed by the evening. The hotel responded immediately and moved them. Our room looked clean, but smelt a bit damp and musty. Bedding was beautifully clean. Had to request a replacement toilet roll twice. These concerns were mentioned to the member of staff on the desk when we left,-she responded fantastically.

Light tinting and badge painting
What are you guys using to paint the ram badges black? I see them painted, and I would like to do it, just not sure what type of paint to go with.
Also, anybody used tint to blackout their lights? I want to do it on my headlights and taillights, anybody use tint shops for the labor?
Check out this link for the tint. I haven't done mine yet but I want to. Doesn't seem too terribly hard. Not sure on the paint, but do a search and I'm sure you will find the info you need.
Are you looking to paint the rams head black and the background a different collor? Timmy916 (i believe is his name, i know its 916 lol) has a good writeup about painting the emblems.
As far as paint used most guys just use plastidip for the ram/grill and the colormatch spray cans available at your local autoparts store for the background (the grill RAM head comes apart and allows for easy painting)
For your taillights you can use VHT nightshades. It comes in a spray can. I have a can but havent done it yet. I have heard that if you use it on headlights or fog lights it gives the output light a red tint to it
They also make a different kind of tint for lights but I havent used it. My brother tinted his marker lights on his Mustang with 35% window tint and it has held up for almost three years now but they are only curved a little bit and are set back in the bumper so they dont see nearly the abuse the lights on a ram would.
Like said plastidip is common because it can be easily removed
There is this stuff called plastiadip that I used on my 350z and my jeep compass that I had. What you do is mask off the area (say the ram 1500 on the door) make sure you are about 2 inches away from the letters. You spray one coat directly on the the letters, if you get it on the paint that is fine. WIt 30 to 40 mins between each coat. I would only do 4 coats, personally. But when you are spraying the emblems make sure you do it evenly. Don't get too close otherwise you run into getting bubbles in the paint and it running. Once you are done with your final coat let it dry for about and hour to an hour and a half. The plastadip will peel off of the paint. To get it out of the letters use a toothpick or something that will not damage your paint. Once you get all the excess off the paint let it dry over night. The next day you should be able to wash your truck. The only thing is with the plastadip is the it will make you letters have a matte finish. I liked the way it looked on my jeep, but I haven't really had the time to do it to my truck yet. You can also look on YouTube on how to do it. That's where I learned. Happy painting!!! (:

The clover mite is barely smaller than a pinhead. You may notice clover mites as dark red moving specks which occur in large numbers. They are generally found crawling around doors, windows, sidings, curtains, or furniture.
2) Put out a band of coarse sand, gravel, or wood chips immediately surrounding the foundation. This will keep clover mites from entering the structure.
4) If Clover Mites have migrated indoors, you can also spray along the baseboards with Talstar. However, a vacuum cleaner will likely be sufficient to puck up live clover mites. Be careful not to crush the mites to avoid stains. Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately.

Immigration legislative and administrative policies, legal statutes and court decisions, and regulations collectively shape nations' immigration systems—from visa allotments and immigrant-selection mechanisms to immigrant integration programs, border controls, and more. As international migration has increased in size and spread and as a number of nations are more flexibly adjusting their immigration systems, the research offered here examines the many permutations of immigration policy and law, often with a comparative lens.
Slightly more than 2.1 million unauthorized immigrant youth and young adults could be eligible to apply for legal status under the 2010 DREAM Act, though historical trends indicate that perhaps fewer than 40 percent would obtain legal status because of a variety of limitations. This policy brief offers detailed estimates of potential DREAM Act beneficiaries.
A broad consensus exists that the long-term impact of immigration on Americans' average income is small but positive, improving employment, productivity, and income. In the short term, however, immigration may slightly reduce native employment and average income. This report provides an analysis of short- and long-run impacts of immigration over the business cycle.
This statement from the fourth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration focuses on immigrant integration and how to shift focus back onto integration as a continuous and interactive process, even amidst the tumult of a persistent economic crisis.

The Tories have reached the 20th century. Bad news for Labour
The papers this morning were full of the so-called "dawn raid" on Newark – the Tories' latest campaigning wheeze. At quarter to five this morning, Conservative campaign teams fanned across the constituency, delivering an early-morning reminder to cast a vote for the Conservative candidate, Robert Jenrick.
If the briefing is intended to put the fear of God into the Tories' opponents, it seems to be having the reverse effect in some quarters. "I don't get it," one Liberal Democrat organiser told me, "What were they doing differently before?" "It's like they've just discovered that canvassing works better if you get people to do it," was the verdict of one Labour staffer.
Early morning starts. Campaign centres across the constituency. Among the enemies of the Tory party, there is both private and public amusement that these much-briefed "innovations" have been the hallmark of successful Liberal Democrat and Labour campaigns for the past 20 years or more. If these are the Tories' brand new ideas for winning a majority, Labour figures argue, there's little to fear. As for Team 2015 – Grant Shapps' crack team of young volunteers, lured in by the prospect of free food and sex with likeminded people – Labour staffers are, for the most part, sanguine about this threat. "The opportunity to get laid has been the driving force in the Labour Party since Kinnock got rid of the Militant Tendency," one says.
There are still aspects of the Tory machine that lag far behind its opponents. Visiting Newark, I happened on the president of the local association, handing out balloons with the Tory logo on them to small children. Parents fixed him with a rictus grin while tying the balloon to their spawn before hurrying off. Other than proving that children like a) balloons and b) the colour blue, I'm uncertain what meaningful data was being collected.
In 2010, the Tory campaign was outclassed by Labour's rearguard action. Parliamentary candidates were frequently self-defeating – both Conservative and Labour campaigners believe that the selection of Shaun Bailey in Hammersmith was a gift to the Labour incumbent, Andy Slaughter – while in many marginals, the Conservative campaign consisted almost entirely of direct mail. The pattern revealed in successive Ashcroft polls and in Newark is of a party that is finally starting to get wise to modern campaign techniques.
Even these fitful steps into 20th century campaigning are the cause of concern in some quarters, however. A Labour organiser in a seat that the party held by a whisker in 2010 agrees. "It is worrying," he says, "that we seem to do quite badly [in terms of turnout] with such a vastly better operation." The same Liberal who greeted the initial leaks with amusement turns contemplative – and depressive – as the conversation goes on. "I always thought we were roughly equal [on the ground]," she says. If, she continues, the Tories have been taking a knife to a gun fight all these years, the prospect of them finally getting hold of a pistol is frightening, particularly to Labour, who, even shadow cabinet loyalists acknowledge, will lose the air campaign, and probably badly. That means that the Conservatives' breathless excitement about "dawn raids" are a cause of nerves as well as laughter. It appears that the Tory machine is neither as modern as it cheerleaders might believe, nor as moribund as its opponents might hope.

Azog the Defiler by rostridgeWatch
©2013-2016 rostridge
I recently watched "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and thought that Azog the Defiler was really cool. Apparently he doesn't really play the same role in the books, but I thought he was bad-ass. I decided to draw a scene from his initial campaign against the dwarves, before he lost his arm. I imagine he would have carried out more than one dwarf head as a trophy. I really tried to focus on the lighting in this one, and am generally pleased with the result.
All Photoshop.
All Photoshop.
You've created an intense scene here, great work.
I love the musculature and vein work you did here. The blood spatters are very visceral, and the lighting from the fires of war behind him is well done.
Good looking chap!

Mozilla co-founder was pressured to resign due to his support of an anti-gay marriage law
After barely more than a week on the job, Brendan Eich has made the decision to resign as Chief Executive Officer of Mozilla , and is giving up his seat on the board as well. Eich was named CEO on March 24, 2014, which immediately drew the ire of several employees and members of the LGBT community over his support of California's anti-gay marriage law, otherwise famously known as Proposition 8.
This has been a topic of controversy ever since Eich in 2008 donated $1,000 in support of the ballot measure to ban gay marriage, though it came under greater scrutiny when he was named CEO of Mozilla last week. Between then and up to today's surprise announcement Eich held firm in multiple interviews with various members of the press that he would not resign, nor would he speak about his personal beliefs, which he said weren't relevant to the job.
Something changed his mind, and according to a blog post by Mozilla's Executive Chairwoman Mitchell Baker, Eich made the voluntary decision "for Mozilla and our community." Baker also used the opportunity to apologize.
"Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn't live up to it. We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it's because we haven't stayed true to ourselves," Mitchell explained. "We didn't act like you'd expect Mozilla to act. We didn't move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We're sorry. We must do better."
Eich, who's resume includes the creation of the JavaScript scripting language, and Baker have worked together for over 15 years. In an interview with Recode , Baker acknowledges that it's a tough situation due to Eich's founding status and contribution over the years, but that "making sure others continue to join and support Mozilla's efforts is even more important." Baker also stated that despite pressure coming in from all sides, it was Brendan's decision to step down.
"What's next for Mozilla's leadership is still being discussed. We want to be open about where we are in deciding the future of the organization and will have more information next week," Baker added.

Poignant and moving, Rice's latest is
a page turner that explores the depths
of human emotions in a manner few authors can accomplish. Combining rich descriptions of nature, Rice has created
a powerful novel that is women's fiction at its best.
Sixteen-year-olds Maddie, Emma and Stevie were the "beach girls" of the summer of '76. They were best friends who vowed to never forget each other or their wonderful moments at Hubbard's Point, Connecticut.
But fate strikes a devastating blow to the girls. Happily married to Maddie's brother Jack and mother to 9-year-old Nell, Emma is tragically killed in a car accident. Maddie, who was driving the car, is guilt-stricken and Stevie becomes a recluse.
When Jack and Nell ultimately return to Hubbard's Point, the young girl sets out to find the friends from her mother's stories. And perhaps she can even rekindle the magic of the "beach girls."

The last tie with Lorien by MirachRavaiaWatch
©2011-2016 MirachRavaia
Good idea!
Wow that is stunning! I would never have thought to do that with a tie!
All the ties are so pretty, but this is my favorite. The colours are so "Lothlórienian".
Wow! Great idea and I like the design too!
This is really beautiful! How do you do it, what kind of paint? O.O
Thank you! They are special colours for painting on silk, metallic contours and the filling colours (they would blend together without the contours).
Very cool
Wow! Like your other one, this has left me speechless....my attempts at silk painting were no where near this good. *stares* So pretty...
That's gorgeous! Nicely done
WOW. A wonderful idea, greatly done!
Is anyone going to use it?
Is anyone going to use it?
Thank you very much! So far not, so I'll just hang it on the wall, but maybe I'll find someone. Oh yes, and Finrod wears it, of course!

Article: Chloroyttrium 2-(1-(Arylimino)alkyl)quinolin-8-olate Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalysis of the Ring-Opening Polymerization of ε-Caprolactone[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Stoichiometric reactions of YCl3(THF)3 with potassium 2-((arylimino)methyl)quinolin-8-olates or 2-(1-(arylimino)ethyl)quinolin-8-olates in THF solution gave the mononuclear LYCl2(DMSO)2 complexes 1–5 in the presence of DMSO and a representative dinuclear complex 6 in the absence of DMSO. All yttrium complexes were fully characterized by NMR measurements and elemental analysis, and the crystal structures of complexes 1 and 4–6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures indicate coordination number seven around the yttrium center and pentagonal bipyramidal geometries. The complexes all feature diapical YCl2 moieties and one tridentate organic ligand in the equatorial plane. Upon reaction of the yttrium precatalysts 1–6 with LiCH2Si(CH3)3 alone or with LiCH2Si(CH3)3 together with BnOH, the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) occurred with high efficiency. Depending on conditions, the ROP of ε-CL produced polycaprolactone with narrow molecular distribution and in a living manner. Theoretical studies of the chlorine/CH2SiMe3 and Me3SiCH2/BnO ligand exchange reactions suggest that the replacement of the apical ligands can proceed without significantly affecting the equatorial ligands. These results suggest that one of the apical Y–CH2SiMe3 bonds within the LY(CH2SiMe3)2 intermediate catalyzes the polymerization in the BnOH-free process. Most polymers generated by BnOH-assisted catalysis possess Mn values that are similar to Mn,cal values based on Y–OBn, suggesting that one apical Y–OBn bond of the diapical LY(OBn)(CH2SiMe3) intermediate catalyzes most or all of the ring polymerization of ε-CL.
Article: Trimetallic yttrium N-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)benzamides: Synthesis, structure and use in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of trimetallic yttrium complexes, L7Y3Cl2 [L = N-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)-p-R-benzamides, 1: R = H; 2: R = OMe; 3: R = Me; 4: R = Cl], has been synthesized by the stoichiometric reaction of YCl3(THF)2 with the corresponding potassium amidates. All complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of complex 1 bearing seven amidate ligands was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Screening of these complexes, in the presence of BnOH, for ring-opening polymerization of caprolactone (ε-CL) revealed effective activities.
Article: Reactions between an Ethylene Oligomerization Chromium(III) Precatalyst and Aluminum-Based Activators: Alkyl and Cationic Complexes with a Tridentate NPN Ligand[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To gain a deeper knowledge of the nature of the species formed in situ by reaction of a catalyst precursor complex and typical cocatalysts used for ethylene oligomerization or polymerization, the Cr(III) complex fac-[Cr(NPN)Cl3] (1; NPN = bis(2-picolyl)phenylphosphine) was reacted with MAO and partial methylation to give the mononuclear complex fac-[Cr(NPN)Cl2.23Me0.77] (2) was observed, whereas reaction with AlMe3 in toluene led to partial halide abstraction and produced the dinuclear, chloride-bridged dicationic complex [{fac-Cr(NPN)Me(μ-Cl)}2][AlMexCl4–x]2 (3·[AlMexCl4–x]2), in which the metal centers are bridged by two chloride ligands. The complex fac-[Cr(NPN)Cl2Et] (4) was isolated in high yield from the reaction of 1 with AlEt3 and contains a rare example of CrIII–Et function. Upon treatment of 1 with EtAlCl2, the dinuclear Cr(III) complex [{fac-Cr(NPN)}2(μ-Cl)3][AlCl4]3 (5·[AlCl4]3) was obtained, which contains three bridging chlorides. Thus, under the conditions investigated, MAO and AlEt3 behaved as alkylation agents, whereas AlMe3 and EtAlCl2 reacted as cationization agents. On activation with MAO and under comparable conditions, 1–5 exhibited similar catalytic properties, with activities between 2700 and 2800 g of C2H4/((g of Cr) h), but the major oligomer produced using the 4/MAO system was 1-decene. The neutral alkyl complexes 2 and 4 and the cationic complexes 3 and 5 did not exhibit catalytic activity for ethylene oligomerization in the absence of MAO. The structures of the complexes 2, 3·[AlMexCl4–x]2, 4, and 5·[AlCl4]3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
Article: 2-Benzimidazolyl-N-phenylquinoline-8-carboxamide Chromium(III) Trichlorides: Synthesis and Application for Ethylene Oligomerization and Polymerization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of chromium(III) complexes, LCrCl3 (C1–C6: L = 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-N-(2,6-R1-4-R2-phenyl)quinoline-8-carboxamide; C1: R1 = iPr, R2 = H; C2: R1 = Et, R2 = H; C3: R1 = Me, R2 = H; C4: R1 = Me, R2 = Me; C5: R1 = H, R2 = H; C6: R1 = F, R2 = H), was synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectra, and magnetic moments. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of complexes C2 and C3 reveals distorted octahedral geometries around the chromium atoms. Upon activation with MAO, these complexes exhibit high activities for ethylene oligomerization (up to 1.28 × 107 g·mol–1(Cr)·h–1) and ethylene polymerization (up to 6.30 × 106 g·mol–1(Cr)·h–1). The oligomers were produced with high selectivity for α-olefins (>99%), and the distribution closely resembled the Schultz–Flory rule. Various reaction parameters were investigated in detail, and the results revealed that both the steric and electronic effects of the ligands effect the catalytic activities of these chromium complexes as well as the distribution of the products formed.
Article: Synthesis, Characterization, and Ethylene (Co)Polymerization Behavior of Trichlorotitanium 2-(1-(Arylimino)propyl)quinolin-8-olates[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of trichlorotitanium complexes containing 2-(1-(arylimino)propyl)quinolin-8-olates was synthesized by stoichiometric reaction of titanium tetrachloride with the corresponding potassium 2-(1-(arylimino)propyl)quinolin-8-olates and was fully characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of representative complexes. All titanium complexes, when activated with methylaluminoxane, exhibited high catalytic activity toward ethylene polymerization [up to 1.15 × 106 g mol−1(Ti) h−1] and ethylene/α-olefin copolymerization [up to 1.54 × 106 g mol−1 (Ti) h−1]. The incorporation of comonomer was confirmed to amount up to 2.82 mol % of 1-hexene or 1.94 mol % of 1-octene, respectively. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2011
Article: Methylaluminium 8-quinolinolates: Synthesis, characterization and use in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The stoichiometric reactions of 2-(2,6-R-phenylimino)quinolin-8-ol (L1-L5, L1: R = Me, L2: R = Et, L3: R = (i)Pr, L4: R = Cl, L5: R = F) with Me(3)Al afforded the dimeric aluminium complexes [Me(2)AlL](2) (1-5) in good yields. By contrast, stoichiometric reactions of 2-(1-(2,6-R-phenylimino)propyl) quinolin-8-ol (L6-L10, L6: R = Me, L7: R = Et, L8: R = (i)Pr, L9: R = Cl, L10: R = F)) with Me(3)Al gave the mononuclear aluminium complexes Me(2)AlL (6-10) accompanied with by-products of the form Me(2)AlL·Me(3)Al (11-15). All methylaluminium complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and the molecular structures of complexes 3, 6 and 8 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Aluminium compounds 1-5 possessed negligible activity towards the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone either in the presence or absence of BnOH. In contrast, in the presence of BnOH, the mononuclear aluminium compounds 6-10 could efficiently initiate the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone; the polymerization proceeded in a living manner.
Article: Electrophilic activation and the formation of an unusual Tl+/Cr3+ tetranuclear ion-complex adduct[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Reaction of TlPF(6) with the Cr(III) complex fac-[CrCl(3)(NPN)] (NPN = bis(2-picolyl)phenyl phosphine) did not lead to precipitation of TlCl but rather to addition of the Tl(+) cation to the CrCl(3) moiety, which resulted in a pseudo-dimeric adduct which has an unusual tetranuclear centrosymmetric structure in the solid state.
Article: Syntheses, Characterization, and Ethylene (Co-)Polymerization Screening of Amidate Half-Titanocene Dichlorides[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of amidate half-titanocene dichlorides, Cp′TiLCl2 [Cp′ = Cp (as η5-C5H5) or Cp* (as η5-C5Me5), L = N-(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)-p-R-benzamides; C1: Cp′ = Cp, R = OMe; C2: Cp′ = Cp, R = Me; C3: Cp′ = Cp, R = H; C4: Cp′ = Cp, R = F; C5: Cp′ = Cp, R = Cl; C6: Cp′ = Cp*, R = OMe; C7: Cp′ = Cp*, R = Me], have been synthesized by the stoichiometric reaction of Cp′TiCl3 with the corresponding potassium amidates. All complexes are fully characterized by elemental and NMR analyses. The molecular structures of complexes C2 and C4 are confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the amidate moieties coordinate the titanium center by imino and alkoxide groups. The systems C1−C7/MAO show much higher activities toward ethylene polymerization than CpTiCl3/MAO or Cp*TiCl3/MAO systems. The procatalysts (C6 and C7) bearing a Cp* ligand exhibit higher activities than their analogues (C1−C5) containing a Cp ligand, while the amidate ligands containing electron-donating groups positively affect the catalytic behavior. Both increasing the ratio of MAO to titanium and reducing reaction temperature enhance the productivities; however, the molecular weights of the resultant polymers decrease with higher activities. Moreover, the C6/MAO system performs with high activity in the copolymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene or 1-octene.

ABSTRACT: A variety of Pd(II) complexes containing the neutral N,P,N-ligand bis(2-picolyl)phenylphosphine (N(py)PN(py)) have been synthesised and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The neutral complex [PdCl(2)(N(py)PN(py)-N,P)] (1) has been selectively obtained in high yield by reaction of [PdCl(2)(NCPh)(2)] with the ligand in dichloromethane. The cationic complexes [PdCl(N(py)PN(py)-N,P,N)]PF(6) (2) and [Pd(N(py)PN(py)-N,P,N)(NCMe)](PF(6))(2) (5) have been prepared from the same reagents by addition to the reaction mixture of one or two equivalents of TlPF(6), respectively. It was found that dynamic exchange of the pyridine rings of 1 occurs on the NMR time-scale and possible mechanisms are discussed. As a by-product of the synthesis of 2, the unexpected dinuclear complex [Pd(2)Cl(2)(mu-N(py)PN(py))(2)](PF(6))(2) (3) has been isolated in 10% yield. Its molecular structure in the solid state reveals the presence of two N(py)PN(py) chelating/bridging ligands. The cationic complex [Pd(2)Cl(2)(mu-N(py)PN(py))(2)](2+) was then selectively obtained by reaction of cis-[Pd(N(py)PN(py)-N,P)(2)](BF(4))(2) (4) with [PdCl(2)(cod)]. (1)H- and (31)P{(1)H} NMR studies have demonstrated that 3 converts slowly into 2 in DMSO solution. The Ir(I) complexes [IrCl(cod)(N(py)PN(py))] (6) and [Ir(cod)(N(py)PN(py)-N,P,N)]BAr(F) (7) have also been prepared, the latter exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal structure with the ligand displaying a facial coordination mode. Compound 7 represents a rare example of an Ir(I) complex bearing a N,P,N-chelating ligand.
Article: Sun, W.-H., Liu, S., Zhang, Z., Zeng, Y., Wang, W. & Liang, T. Syntheses, characterization, and the ethylene (Co-)polymerization screening of 2-benzimidazolyl-N-phenylquinoline-8-carboxamide half-titanocene chlorides. Organometallics 29, 732-741[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of 2-benzimidazolyl-N-phenylquinoline-8-carboxamide half-titanocene chlorides, CpTiLCl (C1−C6: Cp = η5-C5H5; L = 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-N-(2,6-R1-4-R2-phenyl)quinoline-8-carboxamide derivatives; C1: R1 = i-Pr, R2 = H; C2: R1 = Et, R2 = H; C3: R1 = Me, R2 = H; C4: R1 = Me, R2 = Me; C5: R1 = H, R2 = H; C6: R1 = F, R2 = H), have been synthesized by the stoichiometric reaction of half-titanocene trichlorides with the corresponding potassium 2-benzimidazolyl-N-phenylquinoline-8-carboxamide. All complexes are fully characterized by elemental and NMR analyses, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction for complexes C1, C2, and C6. In addition, the oxo-bridged dinuclear complex C7 was separated from the solution of C6 in air. These complexes, C1−C6, activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO), exhibit high catalytic activities toward both ethylene polymerization and copolymerization of ethylene with α-olefins. According to the catalytic system of C1/MAO, both elevating the reaction temperature and increasing the ratio of MAO to titanium precursor enhance the productivities; however, the molecular weights of the resultant polymers obtained decrease against their higher activities. Moreover, copolymerizations of ethylene with either 1-hexene or 1-octene effectively produce copolymers with incorporated comonomers of 2.0−5.0% mol.
Article: N‐(2‐benzimidazolylquinolin‐8‐yl)benzamidate half‐titanocene chlorides: Synthesis, characterization and their catalytic behavior toward ethylene polymerization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of N-(2-benzimidazolyquinolin-8-yl)benzamidate half-titanocene chlorides, Cp′TiLCl (C1–C8: Cp′ = C5H5, MeC5H4, or C5Me5; L = N-(benzimidazolyquinolin-8-yl)benzamides)), was synthesized by the KCl elimination reaction of half-titanocene trichlorides with the correspondent potassium N-(2-benzimidazolyquinolin-8-yl)benzamide. These half-titanocene complexes were fully characterized by elemental and NMR analyses, and the molecular structures of complexes C2 and C8 were determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The high stability of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complex (C8) was evident by no decomposing nature of its solution in air for one week. The oxo-bridged dimeric complex (C9) was isolated from the solution of the corresponding cyclopentadienyl complex (C3) solution in air. Complexes C1–C8 exhibited good to high catalytic activities toward ethylene polymerization and ethylene/α-olefin copolymerization in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO) cocatalyst. In the typical catalytic system of C1/MAO, the polymerization productivities were enhanced with either elevating reaction temperature or increasing the ratio of MAO to titanium precursor. In general, it was observed that higher the catalytic activity of the catalytic system lower the molecular weight of polyethylene. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Zuo, W., Zhang, S., Liu, S., Liu, X. & Sun, W.-H. Half-titanocene complexes bearing dianionic 6-benzimidazolylpyridyl-2-carboximidate ligands: synthesis, characterization, and their ethylene polymerization. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym. Sci. 46, 3396-3410[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 6-Benzimidazolylpyridyl-2-carboximidic half-titanocene complexes, Cp′TiLCl (Cp′ = C5H5, MeC5H4, C5Me5, L = 6-benzimidazolylpyridine-2-carboxylimidic, C1–C13), were synthesized and characterized along with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The half-titanocene chlorides containing substituted cyclopentadienyl groups, especially pentamethylcyclopentadienyl groups were more stable, while those without substituents on the cyclopentadienyl groups were easily transformed into their dimeric oxo-bridged complexes, (CpTiL)2O (C14 and C15). In the presence of excessive amounts of methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), all half-titanocene complexes showed high catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization. The substituents on the Cp groups affected the catalytic behaviors of the complexes significantly, with less substituents favoring increased activities and higher molecular weights of the resultant polyethylenes. Effects of reaction conditions on catalytic behaviors were systematically investigated with catalytic systems of mononuclear C1 and dimeric C14. With C1/MAO, large MAO amount significantly increases the catalytic activity, while the temperature only has a slight effect on the productivity. In the case of C14/MAO catalytic system, temperature above 60 °C and Al/Ti value higher than 5000 were necessary to observe good catalytic activities. In both systems, higher reaction temperature and low cocatalyst amount gave the polyethylenes with higher molecular weights. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Bis(2‐(6‐methylpyridin‐2‐yl)‐benzimidazolyl)titanium dichloride and titanium bis(6‐benzimidazolylpyridine‐2‐carboxylimidate): Synthesis, characterization, and their catalytic behaviors for ethylene polymerization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of 6-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-N-organylpyridine-2-carboxamide were synthesized and transformed into 6-benzimidazolylpyridine-2-carboxylimidate as dianionic tridentate ligands. Bis(2-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-benzimidazolyl)titanium dichloride (C1) and titanium bis(6-benzimidazolylpyridine-2-carboxylimidate) (C2–C8) were synthesized in acceptable yields. These complexes were systematically characterized by elemental and NMR analyses. Crystallographic analysis revealed the distorted octahedral geometry around titanium in both complexes C1 and C4. Using MAO as cocatalyst, all complexes exhibited from good to high catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization. The neutral bis(6-benzimidazolylpyridine-2-carboxylimidate)titanium (C2–C8) showed high catalytic activities and good stability for prolonged reaction time and elevated reaction temperature; however, C1 showed a short lifetime in catalysis as being observed at very low activity after 5 min. The elevated reaction temperature enhanced the productivity of polyethylenes with low molecular weights, whereas the reaction with higher ethylene pressure resulted in better catalytic activity and resultant polyethylenes with higher molecular weights. At higher ratio of MAO to titanium precursor, the catalytic system generated better activity with producing polyethylenes with lower molecular weights. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Newborn Skin: Part I. Common Rashes - Article
ABSTRACT: Rashes are extremely common in newborns and can be a significant source of parental concern. Although most rashes are transient and benign, some require additional work-up. Erythema toxicum neonatorum, acne neonatorum, and transient neonatal pustular melanosis are transient vesiculopustular rashes that can be diagnosed clinically based on their distinctive appearances. Infants with unusual presentations or signs of systemic illness should be evaluated for Candida, viral, and bacterial infections. Milia and miliaria result from immaturity of skin structures. Miliaria rubra (also known as heat rash) usually improves after cooling measures are taken. Seborrheic dermatitis is extremely common and should be distinguished from atopic dermatitis. Parental reassurance and observation is usually sufficient, but tar-containing shampoo, topical ketoconazole, or mild topical steroids may be needed to treat severe or persistent cases.
Evaluating the Febrile Patient with a Rash - Article
ABSTRACT: The differential diagnosis for febrile patients with a rash is extensive. Diseases that present with fever and rash are usually classified according to the morphology of the primary lesion. Rashes can be categorized as maculopapular (centrally and peripherally distributed), petechial, diffusely erythematous with desquamation, vesiculobullous-pustular and nodular. Potential causes include viruses, bacteria, spirochetes, rickettsiae, medications and rheumatologic diseases. A thorough history and a careful physical examination are essential to making a correct diagnosis. Although laboratory studies can be useful in confirming the diagnosis, test results often are not available immediately. Because the severity of these illnesses can vary from minor (roseola) to life-threatening (meningococcemia), the family physician must make prompt management decisions regarding empiric therapy. Hospitalization, isolation and antimicrobial therapy often must be considered when a patient presents with fever and a rash.

Distros unheard of
While distrowatch.org might be usually covering about anything that is going on in the world of GNU/Linux and BSD distributions, maybe some things still get missed, for any reason, or are simply too obscure and unpopular on distrowatch for anyone to really notice.
So, if you know of such distros, here is a thread to post about them.
Feel free to post if you tried them and briefly what you think of them, and of course include a link to the project web site or place where it can be downloaded.
Just recently I tried EnGarde Secure Linux, which, although listed on DistroWatch (currently on 94th position), in my oppinion should get more attention. It claims to be secure by design and contains SELinux by default, not as a feature. And from what I read about it it uses SELinux pretty good.
Thus I would like to get this distro to your attention because it might be a really good package for servers.
Installation is pretty easy and it brings a web-interface (which I didn't try so far) for administration.
My reason to try it was SELinux, since I'm working on better SELinux-integration for EasyLFS 0.3 I wanted to see an example, and I guess EnGarde should be the best example in terms of SELinux-integration you can get.
I stumbled into Bayanihan Linux at www.bayanihan.gov.ph. Seems to be like a local version for Filipinos, like RedHat Linux of China. It seems to be based on KDE but I'm not sure since their is no extensive documentation of its origins.
You mean Red Flag, right? Because RedHat is one of the major distros, and, if I'm not totally wrong, originated in the US.
Will have a look at that Bayanihan, maybe it's something for my wife.
Well, had a look through the website, but it seems all Engish. I don't see anything that would really make an Filipino to switch to it. In my opinion it's like "any other distro".
If it would be translated into Tagalog I guess it could be more interesting for them.
I also asked my wife to look through the site, I'll ask her what she thinks in a few minutes.
Gee, I was thinking RedFlag, I didn't notice I typed RedHat. I know RedHat, I've tried it before I finally settled on Ubuntu. Yup, I've noticed Bayanihan is just your typical Linux Distro. I think they should have focused more on making a lightweight and usable distro, one that could run fast on regular machines.

This is straight up adorable in every way. You brought a smile to my face, thank you. :'D
Such a cute couple!
How much are cutes!!! *_*
casual awesomeness
Really good!
Awww... what cute couple. I can already tell that something HORRIBLE is going to happen to them. It always does. That is the nature of love, a few brief moments of bliss for years or even decades of bitter suffering.
wow..thats steriotypical..
I find that most stereotypes arise due to some fundamental element of truth about them.
well, if that happened to you I am sorry...
Oh it didn't happen to me. It happened to every other person I know. Like clockwork. Some of the time it was genuine love, but it's beginnings were never from such things as love at first sight or other romantic nonsense. Real romance is born through labour and sacrifice, not passion.
well yeah, but that has nothing to do with what you said before--you said first that it will start out as fun and love, but then it'll crash and burn. And you contradicted yourself right now, by saying "it's beginnings were never from such things as love at first sight" and later on love will sufface.
I understand what you're saying, but you ARE contradicting yourself.
I understand what you're saying, but you ARE contradicting yourself.
can you send me a lineart verison of this
They look so happy ^.^
Awww they make a cute couple!!!
Why is it that I keep wanting to favorite every single one of your artworks...
Hey, 0w0Mikuru's BF here!
Love the picture, it came out amazing!! <3

Really nice. I love it so much! . Round of applause..... You deserve it.
reminds me of my characters. haha.
nice job
Awwhh how adorable!
pretty couple~
nice one
This is really good! Her hand gesture makes it very realistic, you captured the moment perfectly
awww so cute together
The guy looks like my brother before he cut his hair...
prześliczna praca
Awwww they look so cute!
Thank you! ;//; I love it so much! <3 And my boyfriend did too~<3
Amazing as usual.. but one question... how do you draw so fast O_O demmit! I'm so jealous!

To be, a bee, a moth
Four wings spread for the soft last touch, of glory sun
Remembering blood plums and lips and lemons
One hundred different suns
In a hundred different heavens
Spied from a rowboat
Stroke, naught is spoken
Before you know it, the spell is broken
You might wonder where you are
Floating on the reservoir
I have counted the notes
We landed here not many years ago
And it was not a pretty song that we composed
La, la, la, the early bird he knows
You hang from the cherry bough
When you're lichen yourself and leave
The cold, cold scent of stone and mulch
The great stone wall to stave the rush
To think that peace might be too much
Waiting for that giant touch
The lake, the fir-fringed lake
Placid and ample, birded, breezed and dappled
Through the mountain break
Through the mountain break
A moment take, a moment, a moment
You might wonder where you are
Perched up on the reservoir
Adolf in the white hotel
All this time we've been in hell
You might wonder where you are
Perched above the reservoir
Luis of the lake retire
Before they set the lake on fire
Before they set the lake on fire
Before they set the lake on fire

Wow. I mean...just...wow.
Omg this is so pretty(:
This is a really gorgeous print. I love it. Everything about it.

Love life and all it has to offer - we're only on this earth once (as far as I know...), so I hang with people that make me happy and who I can laugh a lot with.
We all have things that make our hearts pound with excitement (if you don't, then don't waste any more time not finding something)
I love digital art, photography and creating artistically unique images. If you can't tell, I'm enamored with beautiful women wearing legwear - the electric and magnetic allure of pantyhose, tights, stockings and socks are undeniable. I also love the natural wonders that God has provided for us to explore and I like to express some of those with my art as well
I am astounded daily at the amazing artists on DA and seek inspiration from the incredible work that people are capable of.

Lastly, after O'Reilly chastised those who make their appeal for policy based upon the wisdom of the ages, I wondered if there was, indeed, an argument that didn't cite Jeremiah that might give credence for upholding the traditional definition of marriage as that which is between a man and woman; and I stumbled upon this nugget by Robin Phillips. http://instantanalysis.net/afa-blogs/2013/04/02/five-gay-marriage-myths# . Enjoy.
If homosexuals and heterosexuals are really "equal" before the law, then logically heterosexual marriage must collapse into being little more than a legal construct as well. Indeed, marriage and family become mere adjuncts of the state after the removal of the de facto conditions that make the traditional family a pre-political institution in the first place. No longer is family something that, in the words of Douglas Farrow, "precedes and exceeds the state." No longer is the family a hedge against the totalitarian aspirations of the state because no longer is the family prior to the state.
This is not mere hypothetical speculation about what "might" happen if same-sex marriages are legalized. Canadian theologian Douglas Farrow has shown that after Canada legalized same-sex marriage, even traditional marriage began to be spoken about as little more than a legal construct. In his book Nation of Bastards, Farrow criticized warned that by claiming the power to re-invent marriage, the Canadian state "has drawn marriage and the family into a captive orbit. It has reversed the gravitational field between the family and the state … It has effectively made every man, woman, and child a chattel of the state, by turning their most fundamental human connections into mere legal constructs at the state's disposal. It has transformed those connections from divine gifts into gifts from the state."
Most people are not aware of how gay marriage will undermine the traditional family because it does so in ways that are subtle and ubiquitous. However, once gay marriage is introduced into a nation, it undermines the integrity of every family and every marriage in the nation. It does this by rearranging the family's relationship to the state. The state, which legalizes gay marriage, is a state that has assumed the god-like power to declare which collections of individuals constitute a "family." But by this assumption government declares that both marriage and family are little more than legal constructs at best, and gifts from the state at worst. In the former case, marriage and family lose their objective fixity; in the latter case, we become the wards of the state.

8x10 oil on canvas
I just do not imagine. How can so masterfully own oil paints on canvas. I just admire your skill ...
Dude you are an amazing artist well done with this art bro hope to see more of it
8"x10"? That's alot of fine detail crammed into a small space. Well done sir...
Thanks man! I started off even smaller lol
Oh man, I was working on the black backround to my Baby in the womb drawing tonight. I accidentally bought some water soluble Graphite pencils, 2b, 4b, 6b and 8b. Well, I don't like using them on smooth bristol because they are very waxy and don't shade smoothly (without water). Anyways, I used my Prismacolor Jet Black/Very Smooth pencils because they're black. Well the 1st one was pretty short, so I filled in about 25%, then it got too small to handle so I switched to the other one, (same exact pencil type mind you) and the son of a bitch wasn't as black as the other one. So now, I've got two different shades of black in the backround. It's going to drive me crazy and I don't know how to fix it. I can't really. But, I'm thinking maybe the first pencil isn't completely gone yet, I'll just layer over the tone change and hopefully it get's as black as it should be. Only worry is the bristol's tooth is all filled and they graphite won't hold. Uhhh... Anyways, I'm done venting for the day. Back to work tomorrow. Thanks for the print idea. I think that's what I'll do. I've already got some people interested in buying some prints of the Baby one. Now that I'm almost done I'm starting to wonder what I should do next. Maybe a goofy self portrait with a dark twist. I don't know yet... I got alot more work to do if I wanna catch up with you. I'd say learning how to paint for starters, then I won't have to spend 6 hours filling in a solid black backround with a damn pencil. Ha... Thanks for the tips man, u take it easy...
Sounds like a bummer. Definitely one of the reasons I don't do to many pencil pieces. I'm sure you'll get it figured out man. Good news about the possibility of some sales.
Hell yeah! Get some painting going.
Most welcome.
Take it easy bro.

Too sick!
Hear No Evil ..or is it a moose ?

XD fricken awesome! this is so fucking cool! ur like awesome at art dude!
Wow. The shininess on the bones and blood, and the soft and squishy looking tongue amazes me. Awesome work!
Pure awesomeness ~!
Did you start a new da account ?
I love your art! It's so amazing and it seems so real! I just have to watch you!

they burn me to the core !
also i love the figure , it looks humorous too to me
I'm featuring this one in my journal to help support the traditional movement. Find it on my profile
Oh man, the way you make things seem wet and slimey. I could learn so much from you... I CAN learn so much from you. Believe me, I will be sitting here, looking at your art so much from now on to try and figure out what you did and how to do the same thing. Of course, I work in photoshop so it probably won't be as hard for me, but anyway... dayum.
Thank you! I'm flattered. Keep me posted on how it goes.
Nasty... I love it!
Man, if I ever ran into any of your creations in real-life... some fists would be-a-flyin'! ... and then I run away.

Dude I love the texture in your work
How do you nail the bone/flesh/blood effect?
I've been having such a hard time with that
How do you nail the bone/flesh/blood effect?
I've been having such a hard time with that
Thank you! I'm not to good at explaining but I'll give it a shot. Working from bone to flesh I will lay in some unbleached titanium and naples yellow blended into a very thin black outline. Then add just a hint of cad red at the base where the bone will meet the flesh giving it just a little pink color. I'll do the same thin black outline where the flesh is and use a mix of crimson, cad red and burnt umber. I keep this pretty dark. Then use the same titanium white and yellow mix to get the highlights in. Lastly straight titanium white for the shine. Hope that helps some
i guess the joke is on me :]

In a beautiful and fertile limestone valley that was once called The Great Cove, there is a great spring.It is said that the roar of the spring water could be heard from miles around. Geologists believe that there is a subterranean lake in The Great Cove, and that the spring is an outlet from this lake.
Welcome to Roaring Spring, the town that grew around this natural wonder. The Great Cove has become Morrison's Cove, and the spring is now enclosed in a stone arch with much of its water diverted into pipes. Its "roar" has turned to a gentle murmur, but it still puts forth 8 million gallons of water daily.
The centerpiece of Spring Dam Park is an electric fountain which was completed in 1937. Three primary colors were used in a intricate lighting arrangement, and they are blended to create a remarkable series of colorful shades. This beautiful setting, with a newly restored 1942 PRR N5C caboose and Blair County's only remaining train station next to it, draws residents and visitors alike, and many of the town's celebrations and special events are held here.
Evaluator Services and Techology Inc.
The Blair County Reassessment will start data collection in our districts approximately June 17, 2015. Data Collectors will visit all residences in the borough, measure, photograph and gather information. If you have any questions contact Mike Russell CPE, Project Manager @ (814) 317-5353

JP Morgenthal put together a brief care-and-feeding guide for managers of enterprise architects for CIO magazine. Back when I was an enterprise architect (or pretending to be one as a consultant), these are all things my management knew. Knew as in: I wish they did more than just be aware that I wanted them to behave this way. They could've done more than listen when I explained them (many times). Heh.
Almost always had trouble with #1 and #4, and sometimes with #2 and #5. It's odd, but #3 reminds me of a funny Trace Adkins song, but it's an important one that some managers don't understand. Or maybe I'm just too opinionated, insensitive, arrogant or difficult for my own good. I'm mostly Irish after all. Heh.
Read the full article: Understanding Your Enterprise Architect: A Guide for Managers
Maybe JP will put together a good list of things that an EA is actually supposed to do so that the current crop that I've had recent contact with might actually do them?

Gilat and Huawei to deliver SkyAbis solution to Southeast Asian MNO
Jan 18, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd., a provider of satellite networking technology, solutions and services, has signed an agreement with Huawei for the delivery of its SkyAbis cellular backhaul solution to a Southeast Asian mobile network operator, or MNO.
As part of the project, Gilat will supply and install a SkyEdge II hub, SkyEdge II Pro VSATs, and related services including remote site installation. The majority of the sites will replace older SCPC modems that are currently in use.
The SkyAbis network will support both 2G and 3G BTS/Node B sites as part of a major upgrade to the Mobile Network Operator's nationwide cellular infrastructure, and will provide improved bandwidth efficiency and higher throughputs. The cellular backhaul solution enables the network operator to significantly save on satellite capacity through the use of the SkyAbis Dynamic Allocation Multiple Access (DAMA) capabilities which allocate satellite capacity to the site, as and when required.
"We are pleased to be partnering with Huawei on such an advanced cellular backhaul deployment," said Stephane Palomba, regional VP for Asia, at Gilat Satellite Networks, "As many MNOs are looking to extend their cellular coverage to more remote locations, cellular backhaul via satellite is the optimal solution for rapid, economical deployment." Gilat's SkyAbis is a prepackaged solution for cellular backhaul, based on Gilat's SkyEdge II multi-service platforms. The solution enables operators to deploy hybrid networks that extend the reach of their terrestrial and cellular infrastructure to remote communities. SkyAbis features traffic optimization and dynamic bandwidth allocation for GSM, CDMA 2000 and UMTS backhaul, with much higher space-segment efficiencies when compared to SCPC.

Innovative Features Mean Major Savings for Cellular Operators Using Satellite Backhaul
With the rising cost of satellite bandwidth and the need for more of it to support an ever increasing number of voice, data and now video services, operators must seek ways to reduce both their hardware investment costs and operating expenses, especially when fierce competition forces them to provide these new services without raising their rates.

How to Use Public Wireless to Prevent Data Theft
Each passing day seems to headline yet another data breach placing our personal details into the hands of cyber criminals.
The massive data breach at Target, the huge hack at JPMorgan Chase & Co, the username and password theft at Forbes are just a few instances highlighting the seriousness of data security. However, the recent emphasis on information theft from retailers and websites has dampened the focus on an even more serious privacy and security disaster called the public wireless networks.
Preventing Data Theft When Using Public Wireless
For all its upsides, free Wi-Fi seems to have some downsides as well. Businesses are well aware that free Web access is as valued as other important amenities.
A wireless router is inexpensive, easy to setup, and can cover a wide area. But these properties also make it an attractive target for attackers.
Also remember that even a layman, not necessarily an expert hacker, can secretly monitor or hijack mail communications over a public wireless network. The prevalence of freeware makes snooping on mails and browsing as simple as listening to music.
The biggest ongoing threat to consumer data is the proliferation of public Wi-Fi. An attacker can pry the network traffic of an entire website via an iPad-sized device hidden in his bag. The entire blame cannot be placed on just the networks alone.
User awareness of public Wi-Fi is on the lower side allowing people to routinely expose vital personal information over wireless hotspots, making networks an even more enticing target.
From time and again, security experts have pointed to the several options used by hackers to gain access to personal data. The fact that public network is public, and that anyone can join the network is what that makes it more unsafe.
An attackers first task is to get on the same network that a user uses. Once the network password is public, user security is automatically compromised.
The following are few simple steps you can take to keep eavesdropping away.
Verifying the Name of the Network
- One of the common attacks involve hackers setting a fake public wireless hotspot that passes of as a legitimate one.
- This attack usually works because users are allowed to surf the Web as they normally would.
- The issue is that emails, website logins, social networking site activities are being siphoned by hackers.
- To prevent such disaster, ask the shop's employee for the full name of the network and check if it matches with the one on the Wi-Fi menu , before connecting to any hotspot.
HTTPS in the Address Bar
- Encrypting communications between a website and a PC is vital for maintaining security and privacy.
- The most widely enforced encryption form involves just a careful look at a Web browser's address (URL) bar.
- A website address that begins with "HTTPS" (S being the crucial part) serves as an indicator that SSL connection is active.
- With SSL encryption, the data sent and received is shielded from online snoopers, so that even if the transiting data is intercepted it is unreadable.
- The SSL protocol is the technology that sites enforce on their back end.
- SSL has been a standard practice for communication sites Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Yahoo and financial institutions.
- Any legitimate business would have enabled SSL in its login page, account information page, or payment details page.
- An important part of SSL's effectiveness depends on a site's verification of the identity of a browser.
- If the browser is unable to verify the site's legitimacy, then users will get a pop-up message alerting them to an untrusted connection.
Make Use of a VPN Service
- Another way to encrypt all browsing traffic is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service.
- A VPN acts an a barrier between a user and the Internet by routing all transiting information in an encrypted form via a physical server.
- Hackers can only see unclear messages between a system and the secondary VPN server.
It is neither magic nor rocket science to keep data safe. While retailers and website owners should take all the steps to protect user privacy, we as users also should do our part in the same. All that is required is little awareness, and the above mentioned simple steps to secure your personal information and enjoy the convenience of public wireless.

How to Ensure Your E-commerce Site is Safe?
Tiring as it they are, new security breaches and hacks continue to pose as dangerous threats to consumers and businesses worldwide. E-commerce websites are the juicy targets for hackers, especially during the holiday season, which is fast approaching. Bad guys treat themselves with all the valuable user information passing via e-commerce sites. They are well aware that vendors focus only on sales during the season and not on their servers. Risking security is risking business, customers, and reputation.
Are you a Host?
- If you are hosting an e-commerce platform and entrust all responsibility of infrastructure to the provider, your dependence on its 'secure' message will be heavy.
- If you are hosting a website on a server, your webmaster should have a strong defense system.
- Either way, take time to analyze the security system you have in place.
How to Ensure Your E-commerce Site is Safe?
You can ensure the safety of your e-commerce website through certain features. They are:
Using a Prominent SSL Certificate
- Using SSL encryption for protecting data in transit and at rest is arguably one of the most important criteria to gain customer loyalty.
- Enforcing a strong SSL certificate issued by a renowned certificate authority (CA) can do a lot of things for your site, for low cost.
- Apart from gaining vigilance and technical support of a trusted vendor, you can display the CAs seal on your website to show your customers that it is safe to purchase from you.
- But before opting a SSL certificate vendor, evaluate the CA by its focus on security, years of experience, customer service, liability for damages, guarantees, and accountability.
- If you are of the notion that lower-priced SSL certificates offer less security, shake it off. It may not necessarily be true.
Limiting Data Storage Capacity of Customers
- The probability of experiencing a data breach is high when storing large amount of data.
- By limiting the storage capacity of customers on your Web server, the effect of a data breach can be reduced. Keeping little no customer information is a good security technique in its own way.
- Be aware of what user information is being entered, transmitted, and stored when a shopper visits or buys on your site.
- If your are keeping any confidential data, know why you are keeping and for how long.
- In fact, successful businesses store little information on their systems to run their companies effectively.
- According to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards, an e-merchant cannot store credit/debit card numbers, CCV codes, and expiration dates of the cards.
- Work with your webmaster to know what types of data are captured and stored on your servers, data used to operate your business, and where the data is stored and encrypted.
Have Control Over Admin Access
- It is common knowledge to use a strong user name and password for all accounts that are in use.
- The strength of login credentials is vital for admin access to your website and for Web servers hosting it.
- In an event your admin login details are hacked, cyber criminals gain unrestricted entry into your website.
- The best way to prevent this is to ensure user names, passwords, and other credentials, if any, are strong and changed once in every two months.
- The length of the password should be a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 characters. However, this differs from system to system.
- A strong password should include every character type (upper case, lower case, letter, number, and symbol).
- Use two-factor authentication (2FA).
- It requires the admin to give two means of identification : a combination of personalized user name and passcode and a token-based code only the admin possess physically.
- Do not add new administrators for the reason of convenience. The more administrators the higher the security lapse.
Detecting and Safeguarding Information
- Your server administrator is responsible for enforcing security apps on your Web servers.
- These defenses safeguards your server from malware, viruses, and hacking attempts.
- Your primary line of defense is the firewall. It detects and prevents the entry of known threats into your server.
- Additional layers of security for apps transmitting information into or via your website should also be in place.
- Login details, mail subscription and contact us forms are chief targets for a cyber criminal to attack your system.
- So, add more security codes that are capable of quickly detecting, preventing, or removing any malware attempting to install on your server.
- Review, maintain, and update your website's security on a regular basis.
- Make use of the application updates and security patches to address security flaws.
- Ensure your Web host does a regular security audit on your Web servers. The audits are useful in identifying security apps that are outdated.
- Develop a healthy working relationship with your Web host and webmaster in order to better understand the defense mechanism they have in place for you.
- Doing so helps your business and customers stay protected from cyber attacks and threats.
