Guilty pleasures in the lap of luxury?
I wrote a post recently about teas and made some suggestions about the best brands around, including Steven Smith and Harrods and (in the comments section) Mariage Frères. I've also written on this blog about perfumes, hats and scarves, mentioning niche companies such as Tauer, Optimo Hats and Wallace & Sewell.
But if we leave the Western world and move to parts of Asia, Africa or South America the ghost of St. Francis may well glower over us for our decadence. People who have nothing to eat and no homes in which to live might regard a slice of day-old bread with relish or the most fundamental bathroom facilities as miraculous. I think it is safe to say that at no time in history have humans been more aware of and yet, to be fair, more concerned about such inequality. This knowledge should spur us on to ever greater generosity but our wheels of altruism constantly risk getting stuck. A terrible crisis hits the news and suddenly donations rise; but then time passes and the crisis disappears from the news and we carry on as before. I honestly don't know the solution to this except to keep the issue always in sight and keep helping out as we can, even in the smallest ways. A charity credit card, such as the free ones the Cooperative Bank offer, is one easy way to donate every single time we spend. I'm amazed how many people use bank cards which only benefit the banks.
But grinding the gears back to the point of this post, a bag of Harrods Keemun Gong Fu is certainly more expensive than a bag of PG Tips, but it's a lot less expensive than a daily cup of coffee at McDonald's. A bottle of Tauer's Lonestar Memories may well be more expensive than a week's wages for some, but one squirt is a lot cheaper (and healthier) than a Mars bar, and a bottle may well last you for years. It has often been said that a hand-crafted pair of shoes is cheaper in the long run than a pair in a high-street sale. The former, if looked after, will outlive you whereas the latter can be split and useless after one rainy season.
The moral question of whether we in the West have the right to live our lives with roofs over our heads and classical music in our ears whilst others starve is still to be answered; but if we decide to continue drinking tea and buying clothes it may well be that the luxury brands are not quite as culpably excessive as they might seem.

|abnormal ultrasound need to go to ER
Oct 23, 2013
My belly is swollen like a watermelon, I'm supposed to the ER I was told after I had an abnormal liver ultrasound today. I don't have a fever or anything, just the belly is big (hep C + HIV) what can I expect they will do to me at the ER?
Response from Dr. Taylor
There are a number of reasons why the belly may become swollen when a person has both HIV and hepatitis C. A common reason is that there is fluid (water) that may collect. The medical term for this is ascites. If this is present, your doctor/doctors may do some testing to see if the fluid is infected. The liver can also become enlarged for a number of reasons. I do think it is important that you get evaluated because the list of why our bellies can swell is long, and the sooner you get an answer, the sooner any problem may be treated.

I didn't start having this problem until recently, but whenever I start up skype, I get the log in screen that won't load no matter how long I wait. I've reinstalled skype multiple times to see if it would fix it.
Is there anyway to fix this at all?
I'm using windows 7, if that helps at all.

First make sure that you have Internet Explorer 8 installed on your computer.
If this will still not resolve the issue, then try this:
Go to Windows Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
Type the following in the Command Prompt window and then press Enter:
regsvr32 jscript.dll
You should receive a message saying DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll succeeded.
Reboot your computer.
In order to test if your Internet Explorer is able to execute JavaScript, do the following test:
Open in your Internet Explorer (no other browser but only IE) this page:
Click on the "Simply Click This Button" button and watch the response.

Rethinking the Energetic Cost of Electricity Storage
For reasons that are unclear, the blogosphere was buzzing this week with references to a study published last August by Stanford's Global Climate and Energy Project. The study calculated the overall energetic cost (i.e., the total amount of fuel and electricity required to build and operate a system) and the energy return on energy investment (EROI) (i.e., the ratio of energy delivered to the total lifetime energetic cost of a system) of pairing electrical energy storage (EES) systems with wind and solar electricity generation systems. The study sought to calculate whether, on the basis of energetic cost only, it is better to curtail energy produced by wind and solar systems at times when electricity production exceeds demand or to store that electricity for future use.
The somewhat surprising conclusion of the study is that while it might make sense to use batteries to store electricity produced by solar systems, it makes no sense to use batteries to store excess electricity produced by wind systems. The study looked at the total energetic costs of solar systems and wind systems. The study concluded (at my substantial risk of oversimplification) that because the energetic cost of producing 1 MW of electricity by wind generation was lower than the energetic cost of storing and reusing 1 MW of electricity by means of a battery EES system, it made greater sense to curtail an excess MW of electricity than to store it. Because electricity generated by solar systems has a substantially higher energetic cost than that generated by wind, the study came largely to the opposite conclusion with respect to storing excess electricity generated by solar arrays.
The study went out of its way to emphasize that it looked at the energetic costs of storage only. It did not consider or calculate other benefits of electricity storage, such as electricity market economics, insuring reliable power supplies to critical infrastructure, ancillary benefits to power grid operation and application in disaster relief and war zone scenarios.
But the study does purport to create a new theoretical framework for quantifying how storage affects net energy ratios. In a widely reported quote, lead author Charles Barnhart summarized the study's conclusion saying "You wouldn't spend a $100 on a safe to store a $10 watch."
Not so fast, Charles. The problem with the Stanford study is that it assigns an energetic value to the 1 MW of excess electricity based upon the historic energetic costs of the system that produced it. That is why the study assigns a higher energetic cost to 1 MW of electricity generated by solar than to 1 MW of electricity generated by wind.
But at the moment of decision, at the time one must decide whether to curtail or to store, historic costs are irrelevant. Historic costs are sunk costs and, for purposes of making going forward decisions, must, like all sunk costs, be disregarded. What matters for purposes of energetic calculation is: what is the energetic cost of replacing the 1 MW of electricity you have elected to curtail with 1 MW of new generation (plus the costs of wheeling that new generation to load)?
A better energetic analysis of pairing electricity storage with renewable energy would compare the energetic costs of battery EES systems with the energetic cost of peaker plants and their related additional infrastructure that will be required to replace electricity curtailed from renewable energy generators. That analysis should inform the decision whether to store or curtail, not the sunk, historic energetic costs of the renewable energy generator. In fact, this analysis has been done by the State of California and the result was the California Public Utilities Commission's electricity storage mandate based on AB2514.
The simple answer to Charles Barnhart's proposition, that you wouldn't spend a $100 on a safe to store a $10 watch, is: yes you would—if the $10 watch costs $200 to replace. That is the analysis that California has done and that other jurisdictions in the United States and around the world are doing. And that is why pairing electricity storage with all forms of renewable energy makes good sense on an energetic basis.

A guest says:Please note that battery is the most expensive way to store energy and always only a small amount. That is in most cases uneconomical. But there are the large scale storages with much less invest per MWh than battery. And the Safe/Watch -example is wrong anyway. The watch exist next day also without a Safe. Energy without storage is away. And the storage procedere is repeated very often. It is right: you do not buy a machine to make only one pair of shoes. But one buy a machine to make shoes again and again - despite the machine is much more expensive than a pair of shoes - - don't you? So also the storage - the only question in economics is: is there a profit or not ? If there comes a profit, than it is a higher value to store the energy than to throw it away. Normally the energy efficiency is reached then automatically.
Nathan Wilson says:
There are really two separate energy storage questions:
1) Can grid-scale energy storage be profitable for investors?
- I would think probably yes. Even short duration storage (<1 hour) can be a big help in integrating renewables with our coal-rich grid. And even small penetration into a big grid can mean big money.
2) Will grid-scale energy storage be cheap enough to allow use of variable renewables without fossil backup?
- With technology which is foreseeable today, no. Sun and wind are highly seasonal, and produce variations on a timescale much larger than any foreseeable battery could accomodate (days to months). With "thermal" generation on the grid for in-frequent backup use, that same generation capacity becomes the cheapest way to deal with frequent variations too.
A guest says:
I tend to agree with your analysis, but I have to wonder if there isn't a certain amount of technological uncertainty right now. What I mean is, I try to follow science/tech news, and I've seen a number of announcements of materials breakthroughs in the past couple years (mostly about Graphene-based materials, but also potentially others), that look like they might be huge steps forward in energy storage technology.
Given that, if I were an invester or company, I think I'd sit on my hands for awhile, and see what develops - after all, by way of analogy, nobody wants to be the guy who spends a lot of money building a huge modem dialup center (think AOL or CompuServe of yesteryear), right before everyone else starts deploying broadband networking. . . you'll have an expensive asset, worth almost nothing.

Retrieving Data: From Synchronous to Asynchronous
As technology keeps moving on, we as developers are continually challenged to learn new ways of doing our jobs. Many years ago (starting as far back as Visual Basic 4.0) the movement was toward OOP and creating N-Tier applications. This meant wrapping up the data returned from DAO, RDO or ADO into classes and collections of classes. .NET came along and we started using ADO.NET to retrieve data. However, usage of classes and collection classes changed very little, at least conceptually. In .NET 2.0 Generics were introduced, but this just helped simplify our code. Again, our basic class structure changed very little.

Man suspected of running Cumberland Road brothel arrested
Aime Williams, Reporter / / News
Police have arrested a man on suspicion of allowing a house in Wood Green to used for prostitution.
Officers from Woodside Safer Neighbourhoods Team become aware of a suspected brothel operating in Cumberland Road after complaints were made by neighbours.
The property was visited by officers who spoke with two female occupants.
The landlord of the premises was found and informed that the building, which he rents out, was being used as a brothel. He has now regained management of the property following the arrest.
Sergeant Jon Bosustow, from Woodside SNT, said: "My team and I will continue to take immediate action to close brothels wherever we find them on our ward."
The arrested man remains in police custody.

If you're a typical student in the highlands of Guatemala, it's normal to walk to school hungry in the mornings. Given what most parents make as day laborers on coffee farms, the money for three full meals a day just isn't there. For this reason, Pueblo a Pueblo's School Nutrition project shifted this year to serve breakfast instead of lunch at three out of the five schools where we provide school meals; meaning that over 800 students will get breakfast every day they are in school.
The impact has been immediate. Students are happier and teachers have noticed an improvement in student concentration and attendance!
Our breakfast program follows the same format as the school lunch program and in addition to the basic ingredients purchased through your donations, organic school gardens provide supplementary fruits and vegetables that are incorporated into the meals.
The schools contribute their share by providing firewood for the stoves as well as the kitchenware needed to prepare the large quantities of food. When possible, the school provides a modest wage for a cook. Otherwise the school collaborates with local mothers who volunteer to prepare the meals as early as 5am to make sure breakfast is ready by 10am. Their dedication is impressive!
We look forward to serving breakfast in all five schools that we work with in 2015. We also plan to provide more hands-on training for school cooks and to improve the nutritional content of school meals. Stay tuned for more updates as events unfold!
This month our School Health and Nutrition Program launched its newest organic school garden at an elementary school in San Andres, a community just outside of San Lucas.
Among the wide range of activities carried out over the past two weeks to prepare the project's foundation, our staff has held a training for teachers on how to develop and maintain school gardens; introductory classes for students on the basics of agriculture; and the first round of planting to ensure that the garden begins producing healthy, locally available fruits and vegetables as soon as possible.
"It's exciting for the school community because word about the benefits of our project has traveled across San Lucas, where we have now implemented four different organic school gardens over the past two years," says Ana Cabrera, the project manager and most recent addition to our in-field staff. "And it's exciting for us, because we're seeing tangible results in our current partner communities driving interest and engagement in others."
With this new adventure just beginning, it's strange to imagine that this broad plot of land will soon transform into a thriving, productive school garden. But if our past experiences in San Lucas schools are any indication, we have no doubt that the San Andres community will soon rise to the challenge and take full advantage of the benefits the organic school garden project has to offer.
School children benefit enormously from the careful selection and preparation of nutritious foods. Full stomachs and healthy bodies allow them to build relationships with their peers; develop socially; and concentrate and succeed in the classroom.
That's why Pueblo a Pueblo has been working since 2013 to start an organic school garden at the Pacoc Elementary School, located just on the outskirts of the San Lucas Toliman Municipality.
As in many other rural, coffee-growing communities, children in Pacoc suffer from reduced growth rates (stunting) and parents often acknowledge a reliance on staple grains like corn and rice, which fill stomachs but lack nutritional value. As such, the community was an ideal candidate for our school-based programming, which seeks to provide children with the comprehensive support they need to reach and graduate the sixth grade.
Since the beginning of the year in Pacoc, excitement for the garden has been palpable. Students swarm to the garden between classes to water and care for the crops and teachers and parents have assumed an active role in garden maintenance through weekend cleanings, coordination committees, and trainings with Pueblo a Pueblo staff. And, just as in our other partner schools, all harvests are used to prepare healthy snacks and lunches for students at the school.
We're excited to see the momentum build over the rest of the year. Thanks for all you do and we'll be in touch soon with more updates!
In Guatemala, 51% of the population resides in areas where food insecurity and malnourishment rates are among the highest in the world. One such area is the Santiago Atitlán municipality, where people's livelihoods often hinge on a single annual coffee harvest and there are few alternative options for generating income. Guatemala-based livelihood studies show that when savings begin to run out or food prices rise internationally, the first household items to go are fruits and vegetables.
Due to lack of government support, NGOs often provide an important safety net in ensuring that students in rural communities have daily access to at least one balanced meal.
For us at Pueblo a Pueblo, this effort takes the form of our School Nutrition Project, which in 2013 provided daily nutritious lunches to 754 students in four elementary schools in Santiago. This cornerstone meal improves core cognitive functions and increases school attendance, as well as provides students with the nutrients they need to stay healthy and active.
Manuel Gonzalez, a teacher at Panabaj Elemetary School, affirms the value of the lunches, noting that "since we started the lunch project children are coming more frequently and paying more attention in school."
But while these lunches are an essential ingredient in boosting educational performance and keeping the classroom full, safety nets only address short-term need. That's why we aim to complement the School Nutrition Project with our Organic School Garden Project, which teaches students how easy it is to grow produce at home and incorporate nutrients into their diets.
Just in 2013 there were 169 days in which school communities consumed vegetables, fruit, and herbs produced right in their organic garden. Now, in 2014, we're looking forward to introducing our School Nutrition Project to 80 more students in Tololyá elementary school, where over the past year students and teachers have cultivated a healthy garden filled with everything from lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to bananas, papaya, and chipilín. We're excited to be a part of such a successful project and we'll be sure to keep you all informed on our progress!
This past month Pueblo a Pueblo launched its second annual summer vacation Garden Camp. By the end of December, more than 100 students in four partner schools will have explored the wonders of organic gardening and learned about issues like biodiversity, organic versus inorganic waste, the effect of chemicals on the environment, and the identification of common plants.
To keep campers engaged with the issues, our team has put together lots of interactive, hands-on activities, including painting, building scarecrows, and creating team posters and songs that the campers can present each day. "In contrast to conventional teaching practices in Guatemala, experiential learning lets students be creative and independent, which gives them a better grasp of the topics at hand," says Tina, our school health and nutrition project manager.
And this year there's an added surprise: cooking classes! We've partnered with Guatemala's department of agriculture to lead sessions on how to make healthy recipes with ingredients that are easily affordable for local families — ingredients you can grow in an organic garden! A government-sponsored educator joins each school for three days, helping different teams of campers prepare nutritious lunches for the whole camp. As a result, children learn not only the importance of nutritionally beneficial food, but also artistry and creativity that can so easily be incorporated into cooking.
Imagine preparing dishes like The Boat Adventurer — a baked güisquil hull filled with carrots, radishes, and green beans, with a triangle piece of tortilla for the sail – or the Fun Family of Chard, a compilation of delicious carrot and chili mashed potato bodies with smiling potato and carrot faces, sleeping under a blanket of cooked chard. "We're especially excited about these classes because they're breaking down the strong gender barriers that you often see in Santiago," says Monika, our Organic School Gardens project intern. "In the morning, boys were saying they didn't want to participate because cooking is for girls, but by afternoon they were chopping, cooking, and really enjoying themselves."
To share all the amazing things the children have been learning and creating over the past few weeks, we've invited parents to the last day of camp. We hope this will give campers the chance to pass on to their entire families the important lessons they've learned and delicious recipes they've tried at this year's Garden Camp.

TEHRAN — A huge throng of opposition supporters, many clad in black, took to the streets of Tehran on Thursday to mourn protesters killed by a pro-government militia and back a challenge to the proclaimed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahma dinejad.
In response to a call by the leading opposition candidate in the June 12 presidential election, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the massive procession streamed toward Imam Khomeini Square largely in silence, then broke into chants against Ahmadinejad and alleged electoral fraud, witnesses said.
"Death to the dictator!" some chanted. "Where are our votes?"
Press TV, an English-language version of Iranian state television, said the crowd numbered in the "hundreds of thousands" and described the rally as "peaceful." It said Mousavi, in a brief address to the crowd, called for "calm and self-restraint." A Mousavi website estimated the gathering at more than 1 million people, The Associated Press reported.
Today, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, plans to lead prayers at Tehran University, which happens only on special occasions. The official Islamic Republic News Agency said a "massive turnout of the Iranian nation" for the prayers would demonstrate "solidarity and unity among Iranians."
Iran's elite Guardian Council on Thursday invited the four presidential candidates to a special meeting Saturday to review their concerns. The council, a 12-member panel of senior Islamic clergy and jurists, is charged with confirming the election results.
In a statement Thursday, Iran's Intelligence Ministry claimed it had foiled plots by "several terrorist groups" with connections to foreign enemies, including Israel and Americans in neighboring Iraq, to set off bombs in mosques, polling stations and other crowded places during the election.
Iranian news media, meanwhile, reported that a crackdown on prominent opposition figures, political analysts and journalists was continuing. Security forces on Wednesday detained opposition politician Ibrahim Yazdi, who served as foreign minister after the 1979 Islamic revolution, along with Mohammad Tavasoli, another veteran revolutionary, news services and Iranian newspapers said.

Fox Business Channel South Carolina GOP Main Debate Post-Mortem
Here are my thoughts on the GOP main debate in North Charleston, South Carolina which has just concluded on the Fox Business Network.
John Kasich - He basically sung his greatest hits of the '90's. For Kasich everything is riding on New Hampshire. Unless he finishes second or a very strong third, I expect he will drop out.
Chris Christie - The New Jersey Governor was his usual assertive self. He called Obama "a petulant child" and later said he gave the criminals the benefit of the doubt and embraces lawlessness. Somehow I'm sure he didn't tell Obama this during Hurricane Sandy. Christie made several barbed comments about Rubio and Cruz when he said he hated "interrupt a debate on the Senate floor". He cut both of them off when they weren't forthcoming about answering a question about entitlements. However. Christie lost an exchange with Rubio when he claimed he never gave money to Planned Parenthood. In fact, Christie gave money to PP in 1994. It was a long time ago, but he did give them money.

I used to make a lot of money, though I didn't realize it at the time. That 20/20 hindsight can really burn some days. I was doing really well for myself and for my family financially, but I wasn't happy. I wasn't in love with my job anymore, and I tried to compensate by spending the money I was making.

Jal en
Jal is a pop rock band from Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The band originally consisted of song writer, vocalist and lead guitarist, Goher Mumtaz and vocalist, Atif Aslam and later joined by bass guitarist Omer Nadeem. Founded in 2002, they first became popular playing in Lahore's underground music scene with the release of their song "Aadat", which was a massive hit in Pakistan, topping all local music charts. The band initially achieved critical and commercial success with the release of their music video "Aadat", directed by Umer Anwar, in 2003. After the success of the single, lead vocalist Atif Aslam parted ways with the band, due to differences with lead guitarist Goher Mumtaz, to pursue a career as a solo artist. This led to Mumtaz recruiting musicians Farhan Saeed on vocals and Aamir Sheraz on bass guitar. The band's new line-up followed with the release of their debut studio album, Aadat, in 2004. The album was declared as the best selling album of 2004 on Geo TV by the record label Sadaf Stereo. Soon afterwards, the band recorded and released their second studio album Boondh in 2007, which topped several music charts in South Asia. [ - ]

Should he recover some of that loss velocity, Hanson has the ability to be a top of the line starter for years to come. Hanson, a 26-year-old right-hander has a 45-32 career record and 3.61 earned-run average in four seasons with the Braves and went 13-10 with a 4.48 ERA, 161 strikeouts and 71 walks in 174 2/3 innings in 2012. He will join C.J. Wilson and Jered Weaver in the Angels rotation. The team is currently decieded on whether or not to tender a contract to Jerome Williams. In exchange for Hanson the Angels traded away Jordan Walden. Walden served as the Angels closer in 2011 but had shoulder concerns himself and was moved to middle relief last season. He finished 2012 with 3.46 ERA while save one game. His ability to reach 98 mph has resulted in a 10.8 strikeouts per nine which should mesh well ...

This is a nice thick cream, but if you are looking for a coconut smell this hardly smells like coconut at all. Not a bad smell, just not what I was expecting.
Great scent. Non oily and very refreshing.

A year ago I forecast that the Internet of Things would the primary focus of this year's research, but that few applications would emerge. That certainly happened, though I think the IoT hype was pipped by the hype for Bitcoin block chain, which even merited a major feature in the Economist.
Despite all the hype and investment around block chain applications I remain pessimistic about its use for serious finance applications. In my view, anything that doesn't scale well, can be taken over, and presents a major threat to tax collection is unlikely to succeed in the long term.
It was a no-brainer to predict that the treacle of regulatory compliance would become ever deeper, and that Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions would remain immature (because of the large scope and complexity of the underlying data). That situation will get even worse as enterprises prepare for the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I know some companies are concerned about the mountain of paper required to demonstrate evidence of GDPR compliance. But that's mainly because of a lack of visibility and management of information flows. And it's certainly not a bad thing to correct that situation.
Prediction has been the new dimension for security this year with increased promotion of artificial intelligence solutions and threat intelligence services. This is double-edged sword for the CISO, who will face an inevitable increase in false-positive reporting, which cannot be ignored because of the possibility of a nugget hidden within. My advice is to maximise the use of simple, rules-based mining before turning on the AI technology, and to generally ramp up the resources devoted to security event and trend analysis.
A longer term trend I drew attention to last year is the progressive commoditisation of many cyber security services, which are relatively easy to execute with scripts and open source tools. As technology becomes more powerful and easier to use, the security skill set will change, and enterprises will need to differentiate between areas that demands deep expertise and experience and those that can be easily carried out by an enthusiastic trainee.
A further trend to watch is the progressive growth of Cloud based services which will demand a different security architecture from traditional enterprise perimeter solutions.
The main trend in 2016 however will be a step change in the control and visibility of IT assets and information flows, as enterprises begin to exploit more powerful tools for discovery, analysis and management of information transfers. The introduction of the EU GDPR will certainly boost the sales of asset management and managed file transfer services.]]>
Clearly I'm not alone in this view as increased funding now seems to be aimed at encouraging start-up initiatives. I fully support this change and I've been pleased and impressed to be associated with the new London Digital Catapult Centre. This is a venture that reflects the latest thinking on how government funding can encourage innovation. It's not an incubator, it's not a research centre, but it has great facilitation potential.
Strip away the gimmicks of the automated yellow minion and the machine that blows bubbles in response to tweets and you'll discover an interesting mix of researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and subject matter experts coming together to discuss emerging trends and business opportunities.
As I've often said, innovation in security will not come from industry (who are focused almost exclusively on compliance), or academia (who respond increasingly to industry demands), or vendors (who simply wish to promote new features). Real invention demands a serendipitous blend of users, vendors and investors, ideally enhanced by a left-field subject matter experts and the odd futurologist.
And that's what you'll find at a Digital Catapult workshop. New thinking needs a blend of contrasting experiences and perspectives. The Digital Catapult centres are equipped to deliver this. In a short two-day "pit stop" on identity and trust I discovered a surprising number of innovative product concepts, and was delighted to encounter kindred spirits open to my own inventions and ideas.
To be honest I've lost faith in traditional universities, vendor and research centres. Few new products are truly innovative and many lack the left-field and subject matter expertise needed to conceive killer products. If anything new and successful emerges in the security space in the next decade I'm sure it will have been identified and discussed at a Digital Catapult centre.]]>
Just about everyone in security attends at least one day of Infosecurity. I bumped into dozens of old acquaintances and met lots of new people, ranging from IT researchers to behavioral psychologists. This conference seems to attract a more diverse set of people than other big security conferences.
Little innovation was on show though there is much happening behind the scenes. For me, the underpinning trend is the continuing growth in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in security products. Such technology is becoming mainstream. It has its advantages and shortcomings.
Things have certainly changed. Fifteen years ago when I was promoting the use of AI it was a dirty word in many academic circles. The Professor running Microsoft's research labs in Cambridge told me he binned anything he received on the subject. Yet today Cambridge is the home of the most hyped security product in this space: Darktrace, a learning system inspired by the human immune system.
Clearly someone has been paying attention to my long-promoted advice that security technologies needs to steal ideas from nature, especially the human immune system. Back in 1999 I sponsored a three year project to develop a fraud detection system based on the human immune system. The technology worked to an extent, but was a long way from being ready for business deployment.
There are huge challenges in developing AI systems. We don't fully understand the human immune system, and we can't keep up with the accelerating changes going on across a modern, global enterprise. I always imagined that perfecting such technology would be a long haul. Professor Stephanie Forrest at the University of New Mexico for example has been trying to develop intrusion detection systems based on this approach for two decades.
Perhaps we just needed Mike Lynch's magical Bayesian logic. Certainly something has accelerated the maturity of the technology which now appears to be ready for prime time.
But be warned. False positives might be acceptable in a research, intelligence or relatively small environment. In a large enterprise however they can be time consuming to process and deadly if you ignore them. We've all heard about the CISO who lost his job after not acting on an intrusion alert.
As I've pointed out for the past fifteen years, the future of security will be probabilistic rather than deterministic. But it's a slow change. Don't expect instant results.]]>
I don't mind security services having access for national security purposes. It's necessary in an increasingly dangerous world and they safeguard it well. Employees are vetted, keep their mouth shut (Snowden excepted), and there is no evidence of data breaches or misuse after decades of interception.
If only we could say that about vendors.]]>
I am reminded of Bill Hayden's observation from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy "I still believe the secret services are the only real expression of a nation's character".]]>
It would be a very black day for cyber security if businesses stopped worrying about intrusions. Let's face it the reason we have so many is because we don't try hard enough to stop them. The attackers are fast, smart and agile, and our defences are sloppy, dumb and slow to react. The DC man is right to point this out, but the answer is to beef them up, not let the security managers off the hook.
Valuable intellectual property can be safeguarded by not storing it on networks. We don't do enough of this. Intruders can be stopped or quickly detected by state-of-the-art defences, though these are rarely deployed effectively even in large enterprises. Admittedly, some intelligence services have the capability to by-pass any defence, but such attacks are selectively mounted and should not be a reason for a wholesale abandonment of confidence in preventative measures.
The "dwell time" of a sophisticated APT intrusion is the serious new metric, though there is no mention of this in the international standard on this subject ISO 27004, which is perhaps where it all goes wrong. The modern CISO is bogged down in hundreds of pages of paper nonsense which stops them applying common sense and judgement. The target should be to reduce the dwell time from several years to less than a day.
Zero days should be the target. But then that would be bordering on prevention...]]>
Perhaps we might experience one or two wake-up calls this year. Certainly we can expect that everything to do with intellectual assets and cyber security will be bigger, faster and more volatile, as that is the underlying nature the Information Age. At the same time we can expect that little or nothing will get fixed or be any more secure, as that costs money and reduces business opportunity.
So what in particular will be waiting in the wings for cyber security professionals in 2015? Here are my personal forecasts.
The Internet of Things will be primary focus of this year's research, investment and hype. But there will be no killer applications or compelling business cases. It will remain largely a solution looking for a problem, held back by a lack of imagination, standards and security. The idea of publishing sensor data to citizens is a daft aspiration from a security point of view. But researchers and product developers do not listen to security experts.
There will be no escape for security managers from the growing treacle of regulatory compliance. Amazingly, implementing an information security management system to ISO standards requires as many as fifty individual pieces of documentation. But the paper overhead will continue to increase with more competing standards and questionnaires surfacing each year. (I've had to develop a sophisticated 4D relational database to keep up.) Technology can help but current GRC solutions are immature, and some add to the swamp of data to be processed. This will be the year for CISOs to invest in more efficient enterprise solutions.
Prediction is the new, 4th dimension for security. The theme of this year's Infosecurity Europe is "Smart data to detect, contain and respond". But the theme is outdated: smart vendors such as Qualys have already added "predict" to the thirty-year old "prevent, detect, respond" paradigm. A decade of regulatory compliance treacle has relegated prediction to the back burner. It need to bounce back. Let's all aim to reverse this trend by pushing the focus firmly towards the future. It could be the single most important paradigm shift of the year 2015.
Small data is the answer: We've seen increasing hype and emphasis about "big data" over the last few years. The hype is slightly misplaced. The data does not have to be big, but it needs to be intelligently selected and creatively combined. As Deming correctly pointed out (though he is a bad poster boy for the Information Age), running a business on visible figures alone is one of the seven deadly diseases of management. Today we have numerous sources of data, within and without the enterprise. Fusing this data will help shed visibility of risks and incidents. The data does not have to be big. Searching out, capturing and combining small data is the real key to predictive analytics.
The commoditisation of cyber security: t's sad to say but many companies have been foolishly paying outrageously high fees for security experts that are little more than standards readers or script-kiddies armed with open-source software tools. There is a place for the expert and there is a place for the army of trainees. Don't mix them up. Smart companies will outsource the latter to low cost off-shore service providers.]]>
Although we have yet to witness a major cyber terrorist incident, the potential for one is real, both in terms of motivation and vulnerability. The inescapable fact is that critical national infrastructure is vulnerable to damaging attacks and offensive techniques continue to outstrip our ability to counter them.
Back in 1999 I forecast that the electronic Pearl Harbour would occur around 2006-08, and was branded a doomsayer. Unfortunately, there are still many authorities in denial about the risks. They are the elephants in the room: too damaging to contemplate and too expensive to fix. They will not be addressed until a massive incident occurs.]]>
Escape from monoculture
A year ago I forecast that new security technologies would provide a greater choice of defensive options, making things less predictable for attackers. It hasn't quite happened yet, but there are some emerging alternatives that look promising.
A new generation of attacks
I also drew attention to the inevitable fact that the next generation of APT attacks would be richer, more sophisticated and stealthier. That's certainly happened, so much so that we can't detect the latest attacks, as illustrated by the recent discovery of a sophisticated APT attack (Regin) dating back six years.
A backlash against security standards
I also predicted a growing backlash against security standards, which have increasingly effective. That's certainly been a major issue this year, commencing with the FIC 2014 January opening conference theme of "Is cyber security a failure?" Unfortunately there is no realistic alternative for regulators to the growing mass of bureaucratic standards.
Improving strategic crisis response
On an optimistic note I forecast that enterprises would develop improving crisis management capabilities, correcting a long-standing weakness. I've certainly seen signs of this with the growth in deployment of SIEM technologies and security operations centres (SOCs).
Cyber skills gap grows
I also noted the growing shortage of high-end cyber skills, fuelled by the need to seek out a special kind of person for key monitoring and analysis tasks. Interestingly, there are now several proactive initiatives to employ or help find security work for dyslexic and autistic graduates. This approach will grow.
No change at NSA
I forecast no major changes in the operations at NSA, following Snowden. And I've yet to see any indication of this. Large scale intelligence gathering is necessary to combat terrorism, and that threat is growing.
Learning points
The events of 2014 demonstrated a number of inescapable truths. Fast-changing subject areas tend to be held back by their legacy. The consequence is that they fail. Evolution will not deliver solutions. Nothing short of a revolution will succeed. New technologies, new skills and a new realism are needed to transform the effectiveness of cyber security.]]>
Hugh updated me on his latest Blue Coat research on "One day wonders" i.e. websites that exist for less than a day. It's an important landscape as a surprisingly high 71% of all web sites exist for 24 hours or less. More worrying is the disturbing fact that these sites attract hackers, villains and other bad people.
Of course most one-day wonders are legitimate and exist to deliver a better user experience. Many are organizations such as Google, Amazon and Yahoo with a substantial Internet presence. That's why they're popular. Unfortunately there's a darker side, as malware operators seek to generate large numbers of popular sub-domains built on a foundation more evil domains. Sites are selected to support mass attacks on targeted victims, attacks that are highly scalable, difficult to track and easy to implement.
Hugh and I also had an imaginative debate on current trends, including the Internet of Things. We both agree that security cannot be contained within devices alone. Against a landscape of continuously fragmenting technology (into larger networks of smaller devices), rapidly changing platforms, and uncertain access policies, security must migrate into the network. The challenge of course is where, when and how this will materialise. And of course who will control it.]]>
So what is it exactly? And what sort of security does it require? These are good questions that have yet to be answered adequately. I can imagine a future world in which billions of devices interact safely and securely. But this world is far from possible with today's technology. In fact today's initiatives are no more than very small beginnings: a handful of private machine-to-machine networks, a few attempts to standardise on communications protocols, and one or two initiatives to develop a public catalogue for sensor data.
All of this falls well short of the world imagined by the brilliant Neil Gershenfeld fifteen years ago in his visionary book "When things start to think". Radical change is very easy to imagine, but it's extremely hard to bring it about. There remain many tough problems yet to be solved to realize the Internet of Things. Ones that spring to my mind for example are the following.
We are clearly at a very early stage in developing the vision for the Internet of Things. Perhaps, just like the World-Wide-Web, it will begin as an anarchistic Wild West of experimental but dangerous, read-only applications. And maybe it will begin to flourish for business applications when we finally develop a security breakthrough equivalent to the acceptance of the SSL protocol.
One thing that is certain is that we will not achieve much progress without early casualties. So let us hope that there are pioneers brave enough to accept or ignore the risks.]]>
Eventually this will change, though the transition will be slow. There are however a few catalysts. My book "Managing the Human Factor in Information Security" hinted at these skills but failed to lead a revolution. It was however one of the first security books to point out the importance of cognitive skills, such as problem solving, attention to detail, curiosity, pattern recognition, and systems thinking.
Vinod Patel, a father of two boys with autism, has been more successful. He advocates the use of graduates with high functioning Autism or Asperger's to look for patterns and anomalies in big data and use their excellent memory and procedural capabilities to remediate security threats.
He has already developed a ready workforce of appropriately skilled practitioners, as well as a source of additional resources through the National Autistic Society, with the support of Professor Baron-Cohen of the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge. Vinod has found some success in persuading security companies to exploit their talents. Just check out this remarkable video.
Isn't that a great security story?]]>
Anyone that understands the motives of attackers and the vulnerability of our critical infrastructure will know that professional attacks have not gone away. They are just much harder to detect. There is clearly much more to come, especially given with a steeply increasing terrorist threat.
I sense however that we are some years from a major disaster, though I expect it will occur well before we are able to implement effective countermeasures. That's because the most significant failing of the security community is in responding quickly to new threats. There are one or two exceptions of course, generally in areas where business sets stretch targets for security developers.
The mobile world is one such area. A few days ago I attended the excellent, annual exhibition at the Royal Holloway University Smart Card Centre. There were some first-class presentations, especially the talk by Dr. Klaus Vedder, a real expert in this field, who convinced me that mobile devices are the focus of the fastest-moving developments in cyber security. Product developers race to bring new technologies to market in record time. And they need to be sufficiently secure for the marketplace.
In sharp contrast the presentations on government cryptographic development reflected a legacy of lethargy, underpinned by outrageous demands from a bygone age. New products require a minimum, five-year time scale, and must be designed to be secure for 20 years and to protect data for 30 years. Such assumptions reflect an absence of business pressure for stretch targets.
Security processes are slow because nobody in business cares sufficiently to whip them into shape. Society should demand better than this to safeguard our critical intellectual assets.]]>
Blue Coat products have a strong position in the market (80% of Fortune 500 they tell me) based on their easy-to-deploy security appliances which have the useful feature of providing visibility of encrypted SSL traffic. They have recently added additional features such as sandboxing and advanced analytics to combat APT threats, making them a good choice for an enterprise security gateway.
Not surprising we talked about encryption. Default encryption has been suggested as the best way to protect web users' privacy online, and it's on the increase as more and more organizations switch from http to https. Hugh tells me that around 25% of incoming business traffic is now encrypted. However, this trend presents a major problem for enterprises, as it also enables attackers to hide their communications. Security demands the ability to read traffic. Encryption creates as many problems as it solves. In my view it will not succeed. The future is more likely to be a hyper-connected world in which no information is secure.
Information sharing is another hot issue we discussed. I take the view that it's simply not viable as legal, compliance, and political considerations discourage any release of sensitive information to third parties. Governments can't easily share secrets with international companies. And executive boards don't like security managers telling others about incidents. Countries with state-owned industries clearly have an advantage here, though such an infrastructure carries its own baggage.
Another topic was conference audiences. RSA Conference has seen a trend away from a technical security community towards a more business oriented security community. My view is that security managers are going native. They need to stand up to, rather succumb to business managers. I've also noticed that compliance and audit functions are now setting more of the security agenda. Large financial organizations now have almost ten times more people policing them than securing them. At this rate ISACA conferences will overtake RSA conferences in size.
We both agreed that speed, imagination, and attention to the human factor are the keys to security in the future. CSOs need to escape the burden of compliance and be empowered to practice real security. Personally I don't believe this will happen until after an electronic Pearl Harbour incident.
Unfortunately we ran out of time to discuss deeper issues. But we did agree to continue the discussion next time Hugh is in town.]]>

Lo's girly parts...
We call it a "peach." I guess because it looks like a peach. My aunt grew up calling hers that (married into the family), so now everyone has started calling the little girls girly parts "peaches." She will know that it's a vagina though...even though we call it a peach. (DS knows his "weiner" is actually a penis...but it is weird to call something on a 4 year old a penis.)

I believe vulva is the correct term for the external genitals (vagina is internal). So we will use vulva.
Mommy to Penelope (12/17/2010) and expecting another LO 12/7/2012!!!!!
I think it stems from the movie Kindergarden Cop when the kid goes "boys have a penis and girls have a vagina" - I think that is stuck in his head - lol!! And since I'm the mommy he wants me to come up with something polite and daddy friendly :-)
I call it "FooFoo" haha It's just polite. DD knows the correct term even at two but we've explained we like to say "FooFoo" because it's more polite. haha
My son told anyone who would listen, "Mommy's cervix has to get THIS big (he shows with his hands) and then she has to PUSH the baby out of her vagina (g-eye-na)."
However, he does call DD's girly parts a peach even though he says, "P's a girl, so she has a vagina! I'm a boy and I have a penis!"

So how many here think the community playlist should be just about fun and not ranked? I think if they were not ranked where you gained no exp player or weapon and it did not count towards kills and deaths or wins or losses people would not boost as much in them. I think it would remove the reason that so many now try to glitch, spots in infected, cheat by having friends block the only way in an area when they become infected allowing the other friend to boost for a moab.
So what does anyone else think about this? Should they remain ranked, or should ranking and stats be disabled on them. And all community playlists just played for fun and not stats of any kind?
i believe its not that simple...
with a game like cod that is completely based around leveling up, i dont think anyone would play it if nothing counted... save for a few of us..... but then it would likely be removed..
i personally got sick of all the tryhards and cheap tactics that will never go away in every other mode.... infected was great when it first came out, more balanced for fun then any other mode..
even now.... i think i've seen ONE moab on a TK map, and that guy earned it!! all of the crap still only happens in non-tk maps, the rest are perfectly fine imo..
I believe these game types should be unranked. Having the games ranked destroys the "just for fun" aspect of the game in which these games are ment to be played.

Official FFF Press Release
April 14, 2010
Media Inquiries, contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Fashion Fighting Famine presents its annual charity fashion show on May 1, 2010 at 6 p.m. at the Yorba Linda Community Center. This year's theme is "An Old Hollywood Affair," featuring a fashion show fundraiser, dinner, live performances and shopping, with a touch of Old Hollywood glam to color the night. Put on for Muslim women by Muslim women, FFF aims to benefit charitable causes across the globe, while promoting Islamic fashion and Muslim businesses for the local community.
This year's beneficiary will be Islamic Relief, an award-winning internationally noted, humanitarian relief organization. This year's funds will be directed to helping the organization's development projects in Mali, with a special focus on the Widow's Cooperative project. Each cooperative is run by a group of widowed women who are provided micro-loans from Islamic Relief, giving them the opportunity to start up and run their own businesses. This, in turn, helps them support their families and, in some cases, their respective villages. Their struggles serve as an inspiration to us all; for this reason, FFF is dedicated to advancing their livelihood and empowering them in their efforts to provide for their communities.
Fashion Fighting Famine is a student-run organization whose mission is to promote women's empowerment and a balance between living and giving. Since its inception in 2007, FFF has designed unique events for ladies while benefiting charitable causes across the world. By the will of Allah, the group's self-motivation and support from the Muslim community has contributed to its growth and ability to successfully fundraise for charitable causes across the world. We hope to see you at this year's event.
For more information, go to www.fashionfightingfamine.com, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mission Statement:
Fashion Fighting Famine is an organization dedicated to helping those who live in poverty by promoting the basic necessities of life for every human being as ordained in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Fashion Fighting Famine is also committed to charity work with the purpose of enhancing human rights across the globe.
