Damballa, the experts in advanced threat protection and containment, today announced the appointment of Jay Opperman as General Manager of the company's Communications Service Provider (CSP) Division. Opperman will be responsible for growing Damballa's CSP business unit and partnering with the company's product management team on the vision and direction of the CSP product.
"Service providers are at the forefront of the battle against advanced threats, and are a key constituency for Damballa, accounting for over 20% of our total business since 2012," said David Scholtz, CEO of Damballa. "Having an individual with strong domain expertise will enable us to strengthen our CSP offering in a multitude of exciting and strategic ways. We are fortunate to have Jay join our team and look forward to applying his deep expertise and past success to the solutions we are providing to service providers."
Opperman joins Damballa after having spent more than 30 years in the telecom industry. Prior to joining Damballa, Opperman was with Comcast, where he most recently served as Executive Director of Security and Privacy. While there he also founded Constant Guard™, the industry's most comprehensive program for online security, protecting millions of Comcast subscribers. His work with Constant Guard earned the Family Online Safety Institute's award for Outstanding Achievement. Prior to Comcast he served as Director of Strategic Product Development at Teradyne and also held various positions with Ameritech, Motorola and AT&T.
"Internet subscribers are finding it impractical to manage security on the growing number of connected home and mobile devices they own. Service Providers are in a strategic position to offer unique protection against today's new threats," said Opperman. "As a former customer of Damballa, I understand firsthand how CSPs can help keep customers informed when they are at risk, offering additional value to the Internet services provided."
Opperman has also served on the board of directors at the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Philadelphia Internet Society. He has been a member of the National Telecommunications & Information Administration's Online Safety Technology Working Group, and the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council's Botnet Remediation Working Group.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

An event to celebrate the first year of nPower Girls, a grant-funded program providing professional development for teachers to support girls pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) careers, brought together grant participants and special visitors May 26. Janice Rickard, who was an original riveter for Boeing during World War II, was on hand to share about her life and experiences. Janice joined the group for a celebratory photo at the Wendy the Welder statue on the Vancouver waterfront. Later, Rickard spoke to the group at a luncheon at ESD 112. Brad Richardson, Curator for the Clark County Historical Museum, shared information about the significance of women joining the workforce during World War II.
As the first year of the successful nPower Girls program wraps up, participating teachers celebrated the accomplishments thus far. Teachers in seven school districts have thoughtfully and intentionally invested in supporting girls in STEM this year by learning and sharing exciting STEM career opportunities in our region. Each teacher has conducted their own action research on visual spatial thinking skills and has reflected on how improving those skills can support girls in STEM subjects.
The nPower Girls grant focuses on changing perceptions and providing educators with content and strategies to support their students' learning. The nPower Girls program reaches girls in grades 4-8 in Castle Rock, Longview, Mill A, Mount Pleasant, Naselle-Grays River Valley, Ridgefield, and Wishram school districts, plus Three Rivers Christian School in Longview.
Research shows that future jobs in the area of STEM will grow faster than jobs in other areas, yet women make up just 23% of the current STEM workforce.
Through the three-year grant, 14 teachers and eight administrators will continue to receive professional development to impact hundreds of girls.
The program was created by ESD 112's Vickei Hrdina, a former archaeologist and teacher. "When I was working as an archaeologist, I realized how few others there were like me, a woman doing a STEM-related job," she said. "It was a moving experience for me as a teacher and a mother to examine how to support girls so that they could pursue STEM in their lives. Using engineering and math to solve real-world problems is a skill that all girls should have the opportunity to explore."
Hrdina says it's important to recognize inherent biases about careers for girls or boys. Research shows that when girls are mentored by women working in STEM careers, the unconscious bias against women studying math, science and engineering, can be reduced. The grant funding provides teachers with opportunities to meet women in STEM careers and requires them to create programs in their schools that support girls in STEM subjects. Their students will have opportunities to connect with these female mentors.
"The perception that math, science and engineering is for boys, is just that, a perception," said Hrdina. "nPower Girls aims to change society's way of thinking and provide girls with real-life examples of young women in the field to make their dreams of working in STEM more relatable," she added.
In this exciting program ESD 112 math and science specialists are partnering with Clark College, Washington State University, U.S. Army Corps, Mt. St. Helens Institute, and the Southwest Washington STEM Network. Women working in STEM fields volunteer their time to help teachers experience STEM, and communicate to their students what STEM related skills are desired by employers. This way, all teachers are empowered to show young girls that succeeding in a STEM career is possible.
Educational Service District 112 enables school districts to concentrate more time, money and energy on student learning. Headquartered in Vancouver, ESD 112 provides local and regional cooperative programs and services to school districts and communities in the six counties of Southwest Washington. ESD 112 was established by the Legislature in 1969 as one of nine regional educational service centers to work in partnership with local communities and school districts to provide support services for student instruction, professional development for staff, and technical assistance in the administration of schools. The agency offers more than 250 cooperatives and services ranging from interactive telecommunications to the child care network. There are 30 public schools, 23 private schools and two state schools serving 100,000 students and 15,000 school employees who benefit from ESD services.

Oh, please, stop the insantity. Ironic that on a day to be grateful for what we
have, we feel compeled to go grab more stuff. Isn't Black Friday enough?
Why do we have to ruin Thanksgiving? If nothing else, this is a tragedy for
store employees who want to have one sane day of the year with their families.
Maybe it's time to just be honest, to stop calling the holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas and just call the whole 30 days what they are: Greed Month.

Sorry to rain on these people's parade but this intrusion on one of our
most important holidays is just awful on so many levels. Thanksgiving USED TO BE
the only day that was not focused on getting stuff - it was about family and
reflecting on what we're thankful for.
What these people fail to see is they are making millions of others work on a day they would have had with family. All day long. We already work longer hours and on more days of the week than ever before. Can't we just enjoy one day of the year without thinking about shopping?
This is just like Sunday shopping a few years ago - before long there will be no boundaries whatsoever on what takes place on this day.

The retail industry has ruined every holiday. As long as the industry does business on the holidays and fills the media with sale, sale sale!, people will flock for a good deal.

All web pages connected by 19 clicks or less, physicist finds
This image, courtesy of The Opte Project, shows a visual representation of the Web's interconnectedness.
Published Sunday, February 24, 2013 7:00AM EST
Last Updated Sunday, February 24, 2013 7:05AM EST
The estimated one-trillion documents and billions of pages on the web are all connected by an average of just 19 clicks, according to new research from a Hungarian physicist who found cyberspace parallels to Hollywood's 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon' theory.
Albert-Laszlo Barabasi's work was published this week in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, as part of a discussion on web science.
The Kevin Bacon theory states that every actor in Hollywood is connected to the "Footloose" star by six degrees or less. For example, Kevin Bacon and Charlie Chaplin are two degrees apart because Chaplin appeared in "The Gentleman Tramp" with Walter Matthau, and Matthau and Bacon appeared together in "JFK."
Barabasi says everything on the web is similarly connected through small "nodes," such as specialized web pages, and large, highly-connected nodes such as Facebook and Google, which serve as the hubs that hold the entire network together.
That means that wherever you are in the world, and whatever obscure site or random page you happen to be looking at, you could navigate to any other possible location in about 19 clicks.
In his discussion paper, Barabasi calls it the "small world property" -- a rule which states that two nodes in a network, even one as large as the web, "are likely to be connected by a relatively short path of nodes -- in the case of the web, the path length is about 19."
Barabasi also says the web is a "scale-free" network as opposed to a random network. That means that instead of all nodes having roughly the same level of connectedness, "we should expect a few nodes to be very highly connected, and the vast majority to have smaller degree than the average."
And the connectedness of the network remains constant regardless of how large it grows.
Barabasi, who teaches at Northeastern and Harvard University and is the author of "Bursts: The Hidden Pattern Behind Everything We Do," has made a career of studying complex networks.
He says humans tend to group into communities of like-minded individuals with similar interests and geographic location, both in the real world and online -- a trend that is present whether the network is small or massive.
There's a certain hierarchy that is often present on the web as well, Barabasi found.
Nodes that appeared earlier in the network are more likely to become hubs because the older a page or site is, the longer it has had an opportunity to create outgoing links and to collect incoming links, which serve as the currency of connectivity on the web.
However, the age of a node, in relation to its connectedness, is more of a guiding principal than a hard and fast rule. Facebook and Twitter, for example, are relative newcomers to the web that have quickly shot to the top in terms of their connected status.

Well, by 3pm Hubby and I prayed that I could get up and make it for a shower and go out to eat. I took some herbal supplements and rested. At 5pm I finally got a shower and we went out. I didn't feel good, but I did feel better.
We enjoyed ourselves and laughed so much. Love certainly grows over 32 years! I'm very thankful for my husband. God brought me the perfect husband; He knew exactly the right man for me. Anniversaries are a wonderful time to remember and talk about that. Counting our blessings was fun :)
In the past, we spent the entire day out and about, doing activities together on our anniversaries. Because of my chronic illnesses, we can't do that now. Hubby is very understanding. He is just as happy watching tv at home with me, or grilling out on the patio. As long as we are together, we can be happy. Anniversary celebrations are about togetherness and memories. I hope your memories are sweet.
Psalm 118:1-18 - O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.

Antidepressant Effects of Sleep Deprivation are Associated with Increases in BDNF
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that protects neurons and aids with learning and memory. BDNF levels are low in people with depression, and every type of antidepressant treatment increases BDNF, including different types of medications, electro-convulsive therapy, repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), exercise, atypical antipsychotic drugs used to treat bipolar depression, omega-3 fatty acids, and ketamine. New research shows that sleep deprivation, which is sometimes used to rapidly improve depression, also increases BDNF.
A study by researcher Anne Eckert and colleagues found that partial sleep deprivation (preventing sleep only during the second half of one night) increased BDNF levels in the blood the following day. Those participants who responded well to the sleep deprivation were found to have BDNF levels that fluctuated more throughout the day before the sleep deprivation compared to participants who did not respond well to the sleep deprivation, whose BDNF levels were relatively stable.
The research, which was presented at a scientific meeting in 2015, suggests that sleep deprivation in depressed patients increases BDNF, and that such increases are an important function of any antidepressant treatment.
Lurisadone is Effective in Mixed Unipolar Depression
Lurasidone (Latuda) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of bipolar depression. A new study indicates that lurasidone is also effective in those with unipolar depression complicated by a few manic features, i.e. mixed depression, which is often more severe and less responsive to traditional antidepressants than traditional unipolar depression.
At a 2015 scientific meeting, Andrew Nierenberg and colleagues presented the results of a six-week study comparing 20–60 mg of lurasidone to placebo in about 200 depressed patients who had some manic symptoms. Lurasidone significantly improved unipolar depressive symptoms in addition to the mixed manic symptoms.
At baseline, the patients' manic symptoms included: flight of ideas/racing thoughts in 66.8% of the participants, pressured speech in 61.1%, decreased need for sleep in 40.8%, increased energy or activity in 28.0%, elevated or expansive mood in 18.0%, increased or excessive involvement in pleasurable activities in 15.6%, and inflated self-esteem or grandiosity in 6.6%.
Lithium Improves Medical Outcomes
Lithium is one of the most effective medications for bipolar disorder, but it has other benefits as well. At a 2015 scientific meeting, Ronald Fieve reported that among 1021 psychiatric outpatients, 570 who received long-term lithium treatment for their psychiatric illnesses had a significantly lower likelihood of certain medical conditions compared to the other outpatients who did not receive lithium therapy. The medical conditions that lithium made less likely were seizures, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease, dementia, and heart attack.
It is not yet know how lithium decreases these medical conditions. It may be by increasing the length of telomeres. Telomeres are repeated DNA sequences that sit at the end of chromosomes and protect them during cell replication. Telomeres get shorter with aging and with stressors or psychiatric illnesses. Lithium directly increases the enzyme telomerase, which maintains telomere length. This may be one reason lithium use provides some protection from seizures, heart attacks, and other conditions.
Multiple Risks of Benzodiazepine Use
Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs that became widely used in the 1970s for their ability to reduce panic, anxiety, and insomnia. Some also functioned as anticonvulsants, reducing seizures. They are considered "downers," with sedating qualities.
New research shows that benzodiazepine use, particularly long-term use, comes with risks such as increased mortality and mood instability.
At a 2015 scientific meeting, researcher Jari Tiihonen reported that among 21,492 patients with schizophrenia in Sweden, benzodiazepine use was associated with increased mortality, while antidepressant and antipsychotic use decreased mortality.
At the same meeting, researcher Cristina Albott reported that benzodiazepines may interfere with the rapid onset of antidepressant effects usually brought about by intravenous treatment with the drug ketamine.
In 2010, researcher Roy Perlis reported in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry that in STEP-BD, a large study of people with bipolar disorder, benzodiazepine use was associated with an increased risk of recurrence of mood episodes.
Editor's Note: Benzodiazepines can also exacerbate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and regular use can lead to a decrease in lifespan. It now seems as though there are many reasons to exercise caution in the use of these drugs.
Tests of Generic Lamotrigine Successful
Studies published in 2015 and 2016 have established that generic versions of the anti-convulsant lamotrigine are bioequivalent to the name-brand drug (Lamictal) and to each other. Lamotrigine is used to treat epilepsy and is also prescribed for the prevention of bipolar depression.
An article by T.Y. Ting and colleagues in the journal Epilepsia in 2015 established that generic lamotrigine works similarly enough to the name brand drug that patients with epilepsy could be switched from one drug to the other without worsening seizures. More recently, M.D. Privitera and colleagues reported in the journal Lancet Neurology that different generic versions of lamotrigine were bioequivalent. No significant changes in seizure frequency or other negative outcomes were reported.
These studies show that generic versions of lamotrigine have the same anticonvulsant effectiveness as the original drug. The same should also be true for lamotrigine's effectiveness in preventing bipolar depression.
Psychotherapy Improves Outcomes for People with Bipolar Disorder
Studies have shown that therapy can be helpful for people with bipolar disorder. In a 2016 article in the British Journal of Psychiatry, researchers led by M. Oud described the findings of their systematic review of studies evaluating different types of therapy for bipolar disorder. The research team reviewed the findings of 55 randomized controlled trials of psychotherapeutic interventions that included a total of 6,010 adult participants with bipolar disorder. The team found moderate-quality evidence that psychological interventions reduced relapses following treatment, and that collaborative care reduced hospital admissions for adults with bipolar disorder. Oud and colleagues found lower-quality evidence that group interventions reduced depression relapses following treatment, and that family psychoeducation reduced symptoms of depression and mania.
The reseachers concluded that there is evidence that therapy can be helpful for people with bipolar disorder. Since some of the evidence was of low quality, more research is needed to identify the most effective therapies for different phases of bipolar disorder.
Editor's Note: The data are clear that therapy is helpful. In particular, one approach worth emulating is that described in an article by Lars V. Kessing and colleagues in the British Journal of Psychiatry in 2013. They found that comprehensive care in an outpatient mood disorder clinic, which included psychotherapy, psychoeducation, mood monitoring, and drug treatment, reduced relapses significantly compared to treatment as usual.
Treating Prenatal Depression Improves Outcomes for Mothers and Babies
A recent study confirms that women who are depressed during pregnancy are more likely to experience adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm or cesaerean delivery and small or underweight babies. However, antidepressant treatment improved outcomes for pregnant women with depression.
The 2016 study by Kartik K. Venkatesh and colleagues in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology included 7,267 women who gave birth after at least 20 weeks of pregnancy. About 11% of the women screened positive for depression during their pregnancy. Depressed mothers-to-be were more likely to give birth before 37 weeks and before 32 weeks compared to nondepressed mothers-to-be. The depressed women were also more likely to deliver small babies or babies weighing under 2500g.
About 7% of the women in the study received antidepressant medication. Compared to nondepressed women, the women taking antidepressants did not have greater rates of early delivery or small babies. However, the authors caution that because so few women received antidepressants, the study does not reveal whether antidepressants improve outcomes for depressed pregnant women.
L-methylfolate Improves Depression; More Effective in Overweight Patients with Inflammation
A 2012 study by Geoge I. Papkostas and colleagues found that 15mg/day of the nutritional supplement l-methylfolate calcium (a form of the B vitamin folate that the body can more readily use) improved depression in people who had not responded adequately to treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. In a follow-up study by Richard C. Shelton and colleagues published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in 2015, the same researchers further analyzed these data and found that l-methylfolate worked better in patients who were overweight (with body mass indexes (BMIs) of 30 or above) and those who had higher than average levels of inflammation at the beginning of the study. Inflammatory markers linked to greater improvement with l-methylfolate included TNF-alpha, IL-8, high sensitivity CRP, and leptin. In overweight participants, higher than average levels of IL-6 were also linked to more improvement on l-methylfolate.
Stimulants Linked to Psychotic Symptoms in Offspring of Parents with Psychiatric Illness
Stimulants are one of the most common medications prescribed to children and adolescents, typically for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In children of parents with major depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, stimulant use may come with a risk of psychotic symptoms. A 2016 study by L.E. MacKenzie and colleagues in the journal Pediatrics reported that among children and youth whose parents had one of these psychiatric illnesses, 62.5% of those who had taken stimulants had current psychotic symptoms, compared to only 27.4% of those who had not taken stimulants. The participants with psychotic symptoms tended to have hallucinations that occurred while they were taking stimulants. Doctors may want to consider whether parents have a history of psychiatric illness when deciding whether to prescribe stimulants to children and adolescents with ADHD. Activation is a common side effect of antidepressants in children who have a parent with bipolar disorder. Young people taking stimulants for ADHD should be monitored for psychotic symptoms, particularly if they have a parent with a history of depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
Long-Acting Injectable Aripiprazole Approved for Schizophrenia
In October, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an injectable, long-acting version of the atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia.
The long-acting aripiprazole is administered every 4 to 6 weeks as an injection in the arm or buttocks. The company announced that it would begin releasing the drug immediately. The drug preparation for maintenance treatment is named Maintena while the preparation for acute treatment is named Aristada.

'Passing' by Kristin Holodak
In human history, there have always been outsiders – those visibly different. And there have always been those outsiders who slipped through unnoticed.

In a way, what's happening to video recalls what happened to literature when we stopped reading aloud, together, and started reading silently, alone. Beginning in the Middle Ages, people no longer had to gather in groups to hear tales or learn the news or study religion. They could be alone with a text and their own thoughts, an unprecedented freedom that led to political and religious turmoil and forever changed intellectual life.
With computers, video consumption is also becoming a solitary, self-paced act — and maybe a more analytical act, as well. If you believe, as I do, in the artistic potential of television and film, then perhaps we are on the brink of another cultural transformation — viewers finally seizing control of this medium. And the medium will be better for it."
- Jeff Guo, "I have found a new way to watch TV, and it changes everything."

Via The Upward Spiral:
Trying for the best, instead of good enough, brings too much emotional ventromedial prefrontal activity into the decision-making process. In contrast, recognizing that good enough is good enough activates more dorsolateral prefrontal areas, which helps you feel more in control…
Sound too easy? Too simplistic? Okay, let's look at a real world example of how people at the highest levels make decisions.
James Waters was Deputy Director of Scheduling at The White House. (Word on the street is they make some pretty big decisions there.) What did James tell me?
"A good decision now is better than a perfect decision in two days"
- Eric Barker, "This is how to make good decisions: 4 secrets backed by research"
The Chinese term for this ritual, sao yi sao, quickly becomes familiar. Everyone and almost everything on WeChat has a QR code, and sao yi sao-ing with your phone is both constant and strangely satisfying. James, a tanned American with unruly blond hair who mans the Yoli table, is here to host a workshop called "How We Built a WeChat App & Recovered Our Development Costs Within 24hrs." He scans my code, which gives him my WeChat profile and also generates the equivalent of a friend request; I accept, and we agree to meet during the week, skipping right over the old-fashioned niceties of last names and business cards.The presentations are about to start, and jet lag is kicking in. I hurry to the coffee counter for an iced Americano. There's a QR code in a plastic photo frame. The woman ahead of me is scanning it. I try it, and … WeChat fail. I've entered a credit card into WeChat, but it won't work, and my WeChat wallet is empty. I feel distinctly self-conscious fumbling around for yuan. I've been in WeChat-era China one day, and already cash money feels embarrassing."
- Dune Lawrence, "Life in the People's Republic of WeChat"
When a reader buys a self-published book, Amazon keeps 30 percent of the royalties and gives the rest to the authors—meaning the company makes money whether the book is plagiarized or not. A traditional publisher is liable if it puts out a book that violates copyright. But Amazon is protected from the same fate by federal law as long as it removes the offending content.
Amazon regularly complies with this rule, and plagiarized books are removed from the site. However, it can take a while for the company to respond to complaints, which can be maddening for authors, since every day a fake book is up is a day they're losing sales. The company spokesperson Justin O'Kelly said Amazon has a team dedicated to stopping plagiarism, but he wouldn't go into details about their methods for fear of giving plagiarists ideas. "In the rare instance when plagiarized titles make it through, that same team makes sure they are taken down quickly, and repeat offenders are blocked," he said."

Issues which spring from the highly concentrated world Meeker describes, issues of money power and culture, cannot be charted in the line graphs and pie charts which tell us where the money and eyeballs are going. In fairness it isn't an investment firm's job to do this, but the cultural and political inferences that ought to be made from these "big picture" presentations are profound."
- Emily Bell, "'Bible of trends' for the media industry charts more famine than feast."
Granted, Harry can't perform most of the tasks in a pathologist's repertoire. But in 2016 — 11 years after the launch of the ur-platform, Amazon Mechanical Turk — crowdworking (sometimes also called crowdsourcing) is eating into increasingly high-skilled jobs. The engineers who are developing this model of labor have a bold ambition to atomize entire careers into micro-tasks that almost anyone, anywhere in the world, can carry out online. They're banking on the idea that any technology that can make a complex process 100 times cheaper, as in Harry's case, will spread like wildfire.
Perhaps it's inevitable that in a few years, software will swallow up these jobs, too. But as the tech conversation has fixated on how artificial intelligence will affect the job market, crowdwork has quietly grown in impact and scale.
The next jobs to receive the crowd treatment? Doctors, managers and teachers."
- Mark Harris, "Say Goodbye to Your Highly Skilled Job. It's Now a 'Human Intelligence Task.'"
"What I'm referring to are those that believe being "industry famous" in the creative world is success in of itself. Especially those that start out with that goal in mind. This is where the Complex can poison talent. Being industry famous should be the result of some contribution to the world that the industry respects and wishes to learn from. Or insights unique and useful that it genuinely makes people's lives better.
Increasingly "creative coaches" and people with "keynote speaker" in their Twitter bios are making their quest to earn authority a higher priority than the very reason they got into this in the first place. Fueling the Complex is alluring catnip that feels like you're advancing your career the same way answering a bunch of emails just feels productive.If someone cares more about what their industry peers think of them than the problems they are solving, they're a bullshitter. If the idea of being "known" is barometer of their success above user (or reader) success stories, they're a bullshitter. They are the internet's equivalent of a reality TV star, taking advantage of the attention economy by catering to our worst instincts in lieu of substance."

Facebook had an elegant solution to the "half life" problem in that it developed an algorithm that determined what users saw in their feeds. I'm not an expert in the algo but essentially if a "post" got some heat (lots of people clicking, favoriting & sharing) in a short period of time then more people saw the post in their feeds. The more heat you got the more your post would stay at the top of the feed of your friends....
...The puritans in us loved the former, the pragmatists in us knew the algo produced more engaging results. Eventually Twitter acquiesced and started putting Tweets that you missed "while you were away." I actually think they did a pretty good job of introducing what was a controversial change and navigating the trolls in all of us that resist change...
- Mark Suster, "Half Lives. Social Media. And Snapchat Stories."
That's one reason archaeologist Carenza Lewis of the University of Lincoln decided to dig a little deeper. She excavated 2,000 one-meter-square pits in 55 rural settlements occupied before and after the plague across eastern Britain, looking for the concentration of pottery shards, broken bits of everyday pottery...
Her findings, which will appear in Antiquity Journal, show that in many places the pot shards are plentiful in pre-plague layers, while in the time after the disease they seriously diminish. According to Maev Kennedy at The Guardian, the overall decline was about 44.7 percent. The devastation was not equal, though, with places in England like Norfolk showing a 65 percent decline and Gaywood and Paston showing up to 85 percent drops. Kennedy points out that the numbers are likely conservative since villages that were totally wiped out or abandoned because of the Black Death were not sampled."
- Jason Daley, "Research Reveals More Complete Picture of the Devastation Wrought by the Black Death."
"Where does technology exploit our minds' weaknesses?
I learned to think this way when I was a magician. Magicians start by looking for blind spots, edges, vulnerabilities and limits of people's perception, so they can influence what people do without them even realizing it. Once you know how to push people's buttons, you can play them like a piano.
And this is exactly what product designers do to your mind. They play your psychological vulnerabilities (consciously and unconsciously) against you in the race to grab your attention.
I want to show you how they do it..."
- Tristan Harris, "How Technology Hijacks People's Minds - From a Magician and Google's Design Ethicist."
For examples of these deceptive techniques in action, visit the Dark Patterns website.
Take productivity apps. People won't pay enough extra for a good calendar or address book vs. a mediocre one to power a healthy business without massive scale. And, since most of these apps aren't inherently "viral," the cost of acquiring new customers is too high to justify a low contribution-per-customer business.
A lack of a great business model makes maintaining long-term focus and attracting a top-notch team to solve a problem nearly impossible. This lack puts things which consumers might want fundamentally out of reach as realized products."
- Sam Lessin, "The Non-Monetizable Product Blind Spot"
Second, network effects often fizzle. All sides of an online marketplace have to be nurtured in parallel to avoid imbalances, such as having far more sellers than buyers. During the dotcom bubble most business-to-business marketplaces failed because their pursuit of growth led to such lopsidedness. Even firms that had a head start, such as MySpace and Nokia, a social network and a mobile-phone maker respectively, didn't manage to turn themselves into fully fledged platforms. Most successful ones are the product of specific circumstances and even chance, reckons Peter Evans of CGE. Amazon, for example, took off in part because its customers did not have to pay sales tax if they were outside the firm's home state, Washington.
Third, it is not always easy to make money from platforms. Misjudge how much to charge each group of customers, and the flywheel can come to a juddering halt. What is more, for a platform to make good money, switching to a rival has to be costly, argues Andrei Hagiu of Harvard Business School. This risk even hangs over Uber, the fast-expanding taxi-hailing service: using a competitor is easy for both passengers and drivers."
- Schumpeter, "The emporium strikes back"
Small ad-supported media companies previously didn't have the scale to access high CPMs, couldn't make the comScore Top 50, and were stuck in remnant hell making tiny CPMs. Even hot media companies like Vice would aggregate sites together to boost their audience numbers and make them more palatable. Now new entities will be able to spin up a company with a fraction of the investment required, and without the legacy overhead of their traditional peers...
This kind of leveling of the playing field creates fertile conditions for startup creation. Just as we saw ultra-light startups emerge and use AWS to compete and disrupt the giants in their industry, so will we see ultralight media companies emerge and use Facebook to compete with traditional media. Ev Williams is attempting to provide much the same set of services with Medium's publisher tools, making the bet that the platform-based world is the future, and that there's room for more than one."
- Tony Haile, "The Facebook Papers, Part 3: Facebook pulls a page from the Amazon playbook"
Publisher tech teams do their best to wage war on bloat and improve experience, but with these industry forces acting as a counterweight, doing so is often akin to trying to balance the federal budget by cutting funding for the arts. Pity the media company CTO who has to deal with orders to improve their UX while also improving viewability and programmatic and mobile CPMs.
Confronted with the Sisyphean task of improving their own user experience, media companies are instead doing what the music and movie industry did when confronted with a superior unsanctioned user experience: They are responding with legal threats and attempts to make the unsanctioned user experience worse."
- Tony Haile, "The Facebook papers part 2: The user experience revolt."
- Warren Ellis, "Orbital Operations"
(In this issue Ellis details his work process. The detail makes several things clear: first, he's one of the highest-functioning people out there; second, even someone as high functioning as Ellis has to give up a lot of what they want to do in order to get the things they have to do done; third, no matter how talented and successful you are, you can still be caught up in the same frustrations, self-doubts and issues as us mere mortals.)
When we make the case for crediting our sources, most of us concentrate on the plight of the original creator of the work. But that's only half of the story—if you fail to properly attribute work that you share, you not only rob the person who made it, you rob all the people you've shared it with. Without attribution, they have no way to dig deeper into the work or find more of it.
So, what makes for great attribution?"

The Traffic Test is passed when I'm finishing up a hangout with someone and one of us is driving the other back home or back to their car, and I find myself rooting for traffic. That's how much I'm enjoying the time with them.
Passing the Traffic Test says a lot. It means I'm lost in the interaction, invigorated by it, and that I'm the complete opposite of bored.
To me, almost nothing is more critical in choosing a life partner than finding someone who passes the Traffic Test. When there are people in your life who do pass the Traffic Test, what a whopping shame it would be to spend 95% of the rest of your life with someone who doesn't."

It's a mess. And with the monkey in charge, the procrastinator finds himself spending a lot of time in a place called the Dark Playground.
The Dark Playground is a place every procrastinator knows well. It's a place where leisure activities happen at times when leisure activities are not supposed to be happening. The fun you have in the Dark Playground isn't actually fun because it's completely unearned and the air is filled with guilt, anxiety, self-hatred, and dread. Sometimes the Rational Decision-Maker puts his foot down and refuses to let you waste time doing normal leisure things, and since the Instant Gratification Monkey sure as hell isn't gonna let you work, you find yourself in a bizarre purgatory of weird activities where everyone loses."

Insider trading paints options in shades of grey
July 4, 2007
WASHINGTON: The US regulatory crackdown on insider trading is missing widespread abuses in the $4-trillion options industry, undermining everyone from Goldman Sachs, the world's biggest securities firm, to Citadel Investment, the $14-billion hedge fund manager. Interactive Brokers Group, which handles 20% of all US options trades, lost as much as $25 million in the first quarter to investors who may have violated laws by using non-public information to trade. Market makers PEAK6 and AGS Specialists say insider trading is costing them at least 10% of annual earnings.
Indian corporate bond market still remains a mirage
November 28, 2012
Shaji Vikaraman , ET Bureau
A few years after an expert committee headed by him submitted a blueprint for developing the Indian corporate bond market in 2005, the late RH Patil , who helped build the National Stock Exchange, used to say in sheer exasperation that he had nothing more to say on the local bond markets. For good reasons. Just as there are countless expert committees which have provided suggestions on how to finance building of roads, ports and bridges, there is a matching number of reports on developing a vibrant corporate bond market in India.
Sebi hits RBI wall on mandatory exchange-trading in corporate bonds
August 27, 2015
NEW DELHI: To deepen corporate bonds market, regulator Sebi wants to make it mandatory for such securities to be traded on stock exchange platforms, but the RBI has suggested keeping this option voluntary. As it seeks to deepen the corporate bonds market, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has approached the Finance Ministry, Corporate Affairs Ministry and the RBI, among others, to address certain impediments in this regard. In this regard, Sebi had written to the RBI to make trading in corporate bonds on stock exchange platforms mandatory in a phased manner, a senior official said.
SEBI moves to boost corporate bond market
December 25, 2012
ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Markets regulator Sebi may allow primary dealers (PDs) and banks to play the role of market makers in public issues of corporate bonds by allowing them to give two-way quotes in a screen-based trading system , two people familiar with the development said. Financial sector regulators - the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Reserve Bank of India and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority -- have met a few times this month to discuss the proposal, they said preferring anonymity.
Expansion of agri-futures trade in limbo
June 10, 2011
Ram Sahgal , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Regulatory intent to deepen futures trading in farm products may not translate into action until recently debated issues like introduction of market making and mini contracts see the light of day. Forward Markets Commission (FMC), which oversees commodity futures trading on five national and 15 regional exchanges, is not in a hurry to allow market making and mini contracts may not succeed unless likely convergence issues between futures and spot markets are thoroughly thrashed out, said exchange officials.
Thejo Engineering may be first to list on NSE's SME platform
June 26, 2012
Reena Zachariah , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: A Chennai-based engineering services company is likely to be the first to list on NSE's exclusive platform for small and medium enterprises (SME). Thejo Engineering , which plans to raise close to Rs 20 crore through an initial public offer, may launch the issue in the second week of July. The company had completed the regulatory requirements a couple of months ago but has been waiting for market conditions to improve. It is currently in the process of taking commitments from high net worth individuals and institutional investors and is also in the process of appointing market makers, said sources familiar with the development.
IL&FS plans 25-yr bond, with exit door
May 17, 2010
ARUN KUMAR , ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) will launch 'long bonds' with maturity period of 25 years, a move that will set a new trend in the corporate bond market. The instrument will be similar to the US' Treasury Bonds or long bond with a maturity from 20-25 years and coupon payment every six months like short duration treasury bonds. The instrument, which will be rated by credit rating agencies, will work on the model of erstwhile US-64 of the Unit Trust of India.
RBI sets stiff rules ahead of Credit default swaps debut
May 25, 2011
MUMBAI: Credit default swaps, an insurance instrument partly blamed for the credit crisis and the near sinking of US insurer AIG, will be permitted in India from October with banks, primary dealers and non-banking financial companies' participation and some strict rules to prevent abuse. The instrument, popularly known as CDS, which promises the holder payment of money to the insured amount of bond holding in case of a default, is aimed at developing the domestic corporate bond market.
Curb speculation
October 30, 2008
In order to curb excessive bear hammering and bring back sanity in the stock market, the least the government can do is to ask BSE/NSE to temporarily put all stocks in T-category, so that only the delivery-based transactions take place. After all, the sole purpose of the stock market is to allow the joint stock holders an exit route and not to encourage excessive speculation, once unwinding of leveraged position is over. In normal conditions, market makers, jobbers and arbitrageurs have an important role to play in price discovery but when a situation like this offers undue advantage to speculate at the cost of genuine investors, the government cannot remain a silent spectator and allow the situation to come to a non-repairable level.
Domestic cos in talks for possible Nasdaq listing
June 28, 2005
Hema Ramakrishnan , TNN
PUNE: Nasdaq is in talks with a host of state-owned companies for a possible listing on the US capital markets, which account for 55% of the world's capital and have a retail investor base of over 88m. "We are in touch with all potential candidates, including state-owned enterprises, to consider listing on Nasdaq. Many of these companies are already Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) compliant," Ghanshyam Dass, managing director, Asia-Pacific, Nasdaq, told ET. But a final decision on permitting these companies to list on Nasdaq has to be taken by the Indian government.

Intel Core i7-875K (Socket 1156) Unlocked CPU
What's New
This is possibly going to be the smallest "What's New" segment I have ever written. To put it plainly, the only thing new with these CPUs is the addition of the new overclocking features.
Now, I know you are wondering (like I was) what you get with these new features. Well, you now have the ability to control the CPU multiplier. You can adjust it higher than the stock settings.
For example, the i7 870 normally has a multiplier of 22, but with the i7 875K you can push this to over 22 (we used 24 and 25 at different times) to get the highest clock.
Intel has also added in a few more options for memory dividers; again to give you more flexibility for overclocking. Finally, they mention that there is an increased tolerance for voltage (they say current and power).
Everything else is pretty much the same. The i7 875K is still 45nm, the i5 655K is still 32nm; Intel is just giving you more room to push these beyond their normal operating speeds.
See, not much new there. But we are hoping to see quite a bit more performance out of the i7 875 when we push it.
