Category:Threat Agent
This category is for tagging articles related to common application security threat agents.
What is a Threat Agent?
The term Threat Agent is used to indicate an individual or group that can manifest a threat. It is fundamental to identify who would want to exploit the assets of a company, and how they might use them against the company.
Threat Agent = Capabilities + Intentions + Past Activities
These individuals and groups can be classified as follows:
- Non-Target Specific: Non-Target Specific Threat Agents are computer viruses, worms, trojans and logic bombs.
- Employees: Staff, contractors, operational/maintenance personnel, or security guards who are annoyed with the company.
- Organized Crime and Criminals: Criminals target information that is of value to them, such as bank accounts, credit cards or intellectual property that can be converted into money. Criminals will often make use of insiders to help them.
- Corporations: Corporations who are engaged in offensive information warfare or competitive intelligence. Partners and competitors come under this category.
- Human, Unintentional: Accidents, carelessness.
- Human, Intentional: Insider, outsider.
- Natural: Flood, fire, lightning, meteor, earthquakes.
Threat Risk Modeling is an activity to understand the security in an application. The specific vulnerability, related countermeasures, and impact are not required to discuss a threat, because the threat exists even if the target is well protected against it. For example, there is a threat that an attacker could launch a denial of service attack against your application even if you have sufficient defenses in place.
All attack articles should follow the Threat Agent template.

ZF-3641: Zend_Mail: Wrong MIME header encoding
(Posted for Tomas Markauskas on the fw-formats mailing list. The following text is copied from his mail.)
I noticed that subject headers in some emails sent with Zend_Mail aren't shown correctly in Gmail. I think the implementation of RFC 1522 in Zend_Mail::_encodeHeader() is not correct. The RFC 1522 says (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1522#section-2), that if the string is too long to fit into 75 characters, it can be written as multiple encoded-words (and not encoded-texts), like this:
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?= =?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=
(Thats from RFC 1522 Section 8: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1522#section-8)
But Zend_Mail uses just the simple Quoted-Printable encoding, which is used in bodies etc. I still don't have any rigths to submit issues in Jira, so I created a page with a simple fix for Zend_Mail/Zend_Mime:
My two classes:
http://code.tamole.net/zend_mail/Fix_Mail.phps http://code.tamole.net/zend_mail/Fix_Mime.phps
You can see the Zend_Mail result with an example string and the result of my fixed implementation on the page.
As you can also see, the current implementation has problems with strings, containing lots of spaces or question marks, ie. not every line is within required 75 characters. That's fixed there too now.

How Very Fine
On invite from the Goss-Michael Foundation, arts patrons and philanthropic players gathered at the gallery, where its charitable new partnership with the Dallas Contemporary and the MTV Staying Alive Foundation for this year's annual RE:DEFINE benefit—its latest incarnation arriving in April—was announced.
With advisory chairmen Jessica Nowitzki and Anna-Sophia van Zweden at their side, co-chairs Joyce Goss and Kenny Goss trumpeted the collaboration. Meanwhile, host committee-member notables—among them Brian Bolke, Faisal Halum, Niven Morgan, Shelby Wagner, Muffin and John Lemak, Christen and Derek Wilson, and Kim and Brian Williams—joined the ranks of the night's exclusive culture club.
Executive director of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation Georgia Arnold spoke supportive words about the still fairly young event that has managed to raise more than $1.7 million in Dallas during the past two years and funnels 100 percent of funds from the tightly curated exhibition and auction to support innovative, youth-led HIV prevention projects worldwide—figures positively redefining the meaning of generosity. –Photography by Bruno

The full limit of NCAA scholarships is awarded in 16 sports based on the following criteria:
Academic Admissibility. The University of Oregon is one of the premier academic institutions on the West Coast and admission is competitive. The University of Oregon admits students based on a combination of high school grades and standardized test scores as well as other factors such as involvement in extracurricular activities, unique life experiences, and community outreach. For more information on gaining admission to the University of Oregon, please visit http://admissions.uoregon.edu/
NCAA Qualifier. Prospective student-athletes must meet academic requirements set forth by the NCAA clearinghouse to become a qualifier and thus eligible for financial aid, practice and competition. Please visit http://www.ncaaclearinghouse.net for more information on becoming a NCAA qualifier. Also, it is important to remember that qualifying with the NCAA clearinghouse is independent from gaining admission to the University of Oregon.
All prospective student-athletes are required to complete an undergraduate admissions application and go through the regular admissions process. There are three convenient ways to receive your application for admission:
If you are planning on signing a national letter of intent during the November or February periods, please do NOT apply on-line and remember to begin your standardized testing early, in your junior year of high school.

Monday, November 9, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. And if you stop by Ripley's Believe it or Not! You can touch, feel and see a 2-ton piece of the that wall.
Years ago, Ripley's acquired 160 Feet of the Berlin Wall and the Panama City Beach location is home to a 10 by 10 piece.
Other museums around the world will have historic sections of the wall on display, including the Vatican, John F. Kennedy Library, the United Nations headquarters.
Ripley's owns what is likely the largest collection of Berlin Wall sections in the world, 16 10-by-10 foot sections of the wall, most of which are on display at its museums around the world.
"Like most of the country, we were watching the events unfold on TV," said Edward Meyer, VP of Exhibits for Ripley's Believe It or Not! "A couple of people in our company had the idea that something significant was about to unfold and we should get over there as fast as possible."
Meyer was part of a small Ripley's team that was soon on the ground in Berlin.
Meyer said "It was one of the most emotional things I have ever experienced. To walk in and out of holes in the wall and experience something that had been impossible for nearly 30 years was truly amazing."
As people around him stuffed chunks of the wall into suitcases, Meyer started scouting for the most interesting sections he could find and prepared to make offers to buy them.
"It was a bit of a free-for-all, because no one really owned the wall," he said. "We received assistance from an American diplomat who shall remain nameless, and we dealt directly with the German military."
Ripley's was soon the proud owner of 160 feet of Berlin Wall - 16 sections that each weighed about 2 tons.
"Buying it was easy. Getting it home was the hard part," laughed Meyer.
The sections were taken down and put on a barge and floated up the river to Hamburg and eventually placed on a shipping vessel and sent to the U.S.
Meyer won't reveal the purchase price, but says "it cost us about 50 times more to ship the collection to the U.S. than it did to buy it."
Today most of the sections are popular exhibits at Ripley museums around the world. Two of the sections not currently on display will eventually head back overseas to go on display at proposed Ripley museums in Bahrain and Korea.

The WHO blames millions of deaths a year on inadequate fruit and vegetable intake. The 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines recommended at least one serving of whole fruit a day; even at this low level, 75% of people did not meet the requirement (see also here). In Greece, where a health agency formulates the dietary guidelines, nine servings of fruit and vegetables a day are recommended. The 2010 USDA Guidelines have finally caught up with the science and recommend shifting towards a plant-based diet. Different fruits and vegetables have different phytonutrients so variety in the diet is important (see also here, here). A healthy eating index is calculated based on the percentage of daily calories derived from phytonutrients; phytonutrients can only be found in plants. A diet based purely on raw modern cultivated fruits is not nutritionally adequate. A combination of raw and cooked foods is best. The World Cancer Research Fund's recommendation is to choose a diet that is rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables for cancer prevention (see also here, here, here, here). The best fruits for cancer prevention in general are probably berries, such as black raspberries. Fruit and vegetable consumption also appears to help cut the risk of developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Adding lots of fruits and vegetables to a meat diet is may not be as protective against cancer as a pure vegetarian diet. Breast cancer survival appears to be aided by a plant-based diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables appear to reduce heart disease risk (see also here, here) as well as improve survival from non-Hodgkin lymphoma (especially citrus fruits). Fruit consumption appears to be protective against COPD (emphysema) (see also here). Phenolics in fruit juice may protect against Alzheimer's disease; grape juice appears to be the best. Fruit consumption may also be protective against glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration (see here, here). Eating more fruits and vegetables may play a role in the prevention of kidney stone formation. Avocadoes are the best fruit source of cholesterol lowering phytosterols. Kiwis have also been found to improve cholesterol levels. On average, plant foods have 64 times more antioxidants than animal foods. Indian gooseberries (see here, here, here), blackberries, dried apple rings, dried pomegranate seeds, black plums, pears, cranberries, apples, goji berries, acai berries, and blueberries are a great source of antioxidants (see also here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here). Triphala is also incredibly high in antioxidants but has been found to be contaminated with lead and should be avoided (see here, here). Apples are one of the healthiest foods around; idared and red delicious have the highest antioxidant contents. But in terms of apple juice, it's best to buy organic because fungal toxins have been found in regular apple juice. Watermelon is a rich source of citrulline. Dragon fruit may be helpful to our gut bacteria. And fruit helps to increase stool size. Adding just a single serving of berries to your diet every day could add a year to lifespan. A great way to incorporate dates and pumpkin into your diet is with a healthy pumpkin pie, and frozen cherries can be incorporated into a delicious and health promoting chocolate milkshake. Obesity-causing pollutants have been found primarily in fish, although low levels have been found in fruits and vegetables (from fungicides). Noni juice, mangosteen juice, star fruit, and JuicePlus supplements may be dangerous. Moderate alcohol consumption by a minimally healthy person appears to have no effect on lifespan. Phthalate exposure (which may result in the feminization of male genitalia) is found in high levels in poultry; fruit appears safe.

Never say Never. Latest example: A few years back naysayers were claiming Lake Powell would "never'' fill again. Okay, it didn't quite hit the full mark this year, but since 2005, the lake has been on a steady rise, and this spring an incredible amount of water flowed into the reservoir.
That's good news for visitors planning to hit the Utah landmark for the long, Labor Day weekend, when they'll find bigger bays, fewer obstacles, deeper canyons, better fishing and more room to boat, swim and fish.
While Powell isn't a new lake, it has a new look. And, as the average boater will find, that may require a new approach. What were popular beaches the last few years are now 50 feet underwater, meaning campers and houseboat drivers will have to do a little scouting to find new locations, which isn't so difficult. The lake's surface has expanded so much means there's now more areas to search. Camping site are also more spread out, so it's easier to get away from noisy neighbors and boats and wave runners chasing about.
The rising waters have also opened up previously unreachable canyons and provide new opportunities to explore. Boating up one of the narrow canyons, with vertical walls climbing several hundred feet and then meeting at the top to allow a sliver of sky to show through, is truly an awe-inspiring journey. Reaching the back of the canyon and setting out afoot, realizing it has been a decade or more since anyone has even had the opportunity to see the landscape, is gripping.
Of course, you can't please everyone. Steve Ward, marketing director at Antelope Point, said a few boaters have complained about too much vegetation on the shoreline and "wished the water level was down.'' That new vegetation, however, is a fisherman's jackpot. It becomes a safety zones for young fish, which means greater survival and thus many more fish—and larger ones, too—in the future.
Though Powell is always Powell, even in low water, those most familiar with the lake have been waiting for it to rise up again, anxious for sure signs it will remain a popular vacationing spot for many years in the future.
2005—Lake Powell was down 150 feet and held 33 percent of its official water capacity.
2011—Capacity is at 75 percent, and total water surface has increased 82 percent, from 87,000 surface acres to 129,000 surface acres.
If casting a line is of interest, September offers some of the more exciting fishing experiences called "boils.'' What's a boil? Striped bass herd their favorite food, thread-fin shad, like cattle into large schools and then go on a feeding frenzy on the surface, causing the water to appear as if its boiling. A crank bait or grub tossed in among the melee can result, one report said, in 40 to 60 large stripers caught. Most boils occur in the early morning or late afternoon.
There are six marinas on the shores of Lake Powell—Hite, Bullfrog, Dangling Rope, Antelope Point, Halls Crossing and Wahweap. Only Dangling Rope is accessible by water; the remaining by boat and vehicle. With the exception of Hite, all marinas offer fuel, sundries and ice.
Follow Highway 24 out of Hanksville to Bullfrog or continue on Highway 95 to Hite. In the summer, a ferry travels between Bullfrog and Halls Crossing. Best to reach Wahweap and Antelope Point by taking Panguitch cutoff 20 miles past Beaver on I-15. Follow Highway 89 to Panguitch, then to Kanab and into Page, Ariz. Hit Wahweap prior to Page; Antelope Point, the lake's newest marina, is seven miles east of Page. Distance to Bullfrog from Salt Lake City is 300 miles and distance to Page is 380 miles.
-Boat rentals are available at Bullfrog, Halls Crossing, Wahweap and Antelope Point, and launch permits are required.
-Entrance fee to Glen Canyon Recreation Area is $15 per vehicle and $16 per boat.
-Gas at Powell fuel docks range from $4.60 to $4.80.
-Arrive early, when it's cool, and be out on the lake before the countryside heats up.
-A battery-operated fan is a nice thing to have. Use sunscreen.
-Check on-line at wayneswords.com before heading lakeside to find out what's bitting and where.
-Plan a trip into one of the marinas for a cool ice cream bar. It's a nice break.
-Take extra water and use lots and lots of sunscreen.
-Remember, cliff jumping is prohibited. Powell's depth varies drastically, often within a few feet. Don't ruin your vacation (or your spine). By definition the National Park Service defines a cliff as rock, soil or structure being 15 feet or higher.
-Consider fall trips. The marinas are less crowded, the water's still warm and the rising and setting sun really accentuates colors.
-Some of the best fishing is north right now, but that's also where the heaviest concentrations of debris, brought down by the high runoff, can be found.

- What is TMC? What do you need in order to receive TMC?
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is based on a news network. Traffic information is continuously recorded by the police and by automatic sensors along motorways. This information is delivered in a non-stop flow to the broadcasting corporations. They are digitally coded, classified according to roadway section and are broadcasted inaudible (over the RDS-Sginal). The coded data sets are converted by the navigation device (with TMC ability) into readable messages.
A TMC message provides details of a traffic obstruction's location and type, and sometimes also its beginning, duration or end. The messages are valid for only a certain period of time. A message is stored and can be recalled by the navigation device as long as it is valid. During a navigation the navigation software checks every message within seconds with the calculated route and if necessary calculates an alternative route.
TMC in NAVIGON products:
NAVIGON products which are suitable for TMC reception support FreeTMC wherever it is available. The use of PayTMC is either already included in the purchase price of the NAVIGON product or the service can be subscribed to. For more information refer to the description of the product in question.
More useful information about TMC:
TMC is available as FreeTMC (in Germany: the TMC service of the state broadcasting corporations) and as PayTMC (in Germany: TMCpro). The availability of these services differs from country to country.Ultima attualizzazione di questa voce: martedì 12 marzo 2013 13.14
A TMC receiver is needed to receive TMC messages. Many navigation devices and GPS receivers come with a built-in TMC receiver. Car charging cables with a built-in TMC receiver are also available for many navigation devices.
If the TMC reception is poor, it often helps to use a Y adapter for connecting the TMC receiver to the vehicle's external antenna.

Reviews for Applesauce Cinnamon Bread
"This is a great bread. A cross between a bread & a cake. I'm a recipe follower the first try and would not change anything. I covered the bread with plastic wrap and the top got mushy after a few days. Does anyone have a tip for storing this bread?"
"This was very tasty and had good flavor. The applesauce made it moist."
"Excellent taste and texture. I will be placing this recipe in my favorite's recipe collection."
"I didn't love this recipe. Not too fond of the nutmeg, I'd say- not expecting that flavor in a cinnamon bread. Not too sure about the brown sugar in the topping, either."
"Anyone have ideas on how to convert this to a muffin recipe? I love the loaf but muffins are portable for the kids' lunches so I am curious how I could convert thisThanks much"

IT Benchmarking
VMware IT Benchmarking Products
See how your IT stacks up against your peers with objective evidence across a range of metrics. VMware Benchmark Data is collected objectively across 20 industries and 18 towers to provide more than 3,500 metrics or points of comparison to see how your IT organization is performing. Using the first Automated Analysis Engine, VMware IT Benchmark Data automatically compares you to your industry and functional peers without the bias traditionally found in more expensive and manual benchmarks. Choose the VMware Benchmarking product that is right for your organization:
The VMware IT Benchmark Tower offers you the most flexible and complete approach to getting the detailed focus into areas where your IT organization excels and where there are opportunities to improve. Choose among eighteen towers covering more than 3,500 metrics to create a comprehensive benchmark covering every area of interest across your IT organization.
Each Tower includes not only primary and top-level metrics to provide high-level indicators by category, cost and efficiency, but also granular, ground level metrics that drive true actionability. Benchmark Towers are available in value-priced Tower 10-packs and can even be combined with the Benchmark Starter Kit for a truly comprehensive benchmarking solution.
VMware Benchmark Tower includes detailed reports with hundreds of metrics from peers with a comparable IT footprint.
The Benchmark Tower is ideal for organizations looking to aggressively start:
- Managing increased service levels and decreased costs
- Driving strategies in rightsizing, re-engineering and reorganization
- Justifying outsourcing decisions and establishing milestones
- Baselining measurements required by total quality and continuous improvement programs
- Determining alignment between IT and the business
- Increasing business value through IT
The VMware IT Benchmark Starter Kit is a great way to get started with benchmarking or to obtain high-level metrics in areas where all metrics are simply not desired. The Benchmark Starter Kit provides a mid-level overview, enabling IT to get a sense of how it compares to both industry and functional peers across any 30 metrics pulled from any three Towers (standard modules) with 10 metrics from each of the three selected Towers.
The VMware IT Benchmark Starter Kit includes different reports based on the information provided. If only high-level information is provided, reports will only show high-level upper and lower "totals" metrics from system-determined peers for the Towers selected. If full detailed information is provided for the Towers, reports will show the full breadth of IT's 30 metrics alongside its system-determined functional and industry peer metrics – providing extra flexibility for quick and fast versus more detailed benchmarks.
The Benchmark Starter Kit is ideal for:
- Getting started with benchmarking
- Gaining an industry and peer baseline view
- Learning where to focus improvement efforts
- Pre-validating for a full benchmark
- Performing a key-area IT check
- Augmenting a full benchmark in other Towers with only top metrics for Towers where a full benchmark is not required
VMware IT Benchmark Basic is an automated web application that generates standardized high-level reports of key industry metrics using a high-level set of client data. These reports are ideal for use as part of broader IT consulting projects or initiatives. Simply use the tool to select the industry, desired Towers and a complexity range. Once the client's data is entered, the system assigns a custom industry peer group based upon the information provided and automatically generates a report with key statistical averages customized to the client. The Benchmark Basic is ideal for VMware partners to help clients with:
- Getting a high-level performance overview
- Obtaining an industry baseline view
- Performing a key area IT check
- Identifying priorities for a full benchmark
- Establishing credibility of benchmarking data source

Environmental Management
Environmental Policy
In order to further enhance our efforts in environmental issues, Clarion revised its Environmental Policy in March 2008. Pursuant to this policy, we will continue our group-wide activities promoting environmental preservation and offering products and services which contribute to building up of sustainable society.
Promotional Framework for the Environment
Clarion acquired ISO14001 certification for its domestic companies in 2000. By the end of March 2008, 7 overseas affiliates completed their acquisition of the same. We have built up promotional framework and continue to enhance environmental management system. Specifically, the activities are promoted by "Standing Committee on the Environment" which plays active roles. At all of our domestic sites, we conduct external inspections and internal environmental audit once a year to assess the state of implementation and maintaining of environmental management system.
Education and Training
Internal Environmental Training
Clarion provides systematic education to all employees to increase their awareness of environmental protection.
The department in charge of Environmental Management provides education and training to department managers. The department managers in turn take the lead in conducting an education program for all employees at least once per year. In addition, in 2007 e-learning was introduced to further develop eco-awareness. In fiscal 2014, 99% of the relevant employees received the program.
H.R. Dept. and CSR Dept. organize environmental management system education for each level of managerial staffs to new recruits.
This program consists of training for internal environmental auditors by an external training institution and by Clarion's qualified internal auditors.
Personnel qualified for certain designated jobs under laws and regulations and employees engaged in tasks that have a profound impact on the environment are categorized as "workers engaged in designated tasks", and are provided with professional training in accordance with their duties. Furthermore, we perform simulated drills regularly to ensure that they can respond quickly and appropriately in a possible emergency situation.
Status of Compliance with Environment-Related Laws and Regulations
Clarion shares a company-wide database covering major environment related laws and regulations as well as customer requirements. Furthermore, the departments responsible for promotion of environmental activities identify deviation from the reference values set by laws and regulations, as well as environment-related accidents, complaints and risks, and set up and strictly follow self-imposed standards.

Parents of student athletes may soon have to sign a form saying they understand the risk of serious head injuries, and players who may have a concussion will have to sit out the rest of the game under legislation approved by a House committee Monday in Tallahassee. The legislation has been sidelined before because of dispute between medical; providers.
Thousands of student athletes suffer concussions each year. Football, Soccer, LaCross, basketball. "A vote for this today is voting for our student athletes"
Now state lawmakers want to make sure a qualified doctor sees an athlete suspected of having a concussion before coach sends them back in. Dr. Roland Renaurt of Jacksonville is very concerned. "And a repeat injury, back to back, can be detrimental. A student athlete may never reach their full potential as far as education, and it can even lead to death in certain situations."
Deciding which medical professional gets to say a kid is okay, or isn't okay has been a sticking point in the past, and its a sticking point this year.
The legislation delegates to the responsibility of who can diagnose a concussion and who can allow an athlete to resume play to the Florida High School Athletic Association. Activist Brian Pitts told lawmakers they were shirking their responsibilities. "You are the legislature. You are supposed to set the policy and guidelines."
Chiropractors have been excluded from concussion decision making in past concussion legislation, this time they are not, and for the first time they are supporting the bill.
Jack Herbert is with the Fl. Chiropractic Assn. "Because we have hundreds of doctors out there every Friday night that are volunteering their time to their communities serve as team physicians."
Question: "Are they qualified to diagnose a head injury?"
"Yes. Very much so. Very much so".
But Chiropractors are not included as members on Sports Medicine Advisory councils and keeping them out may make passing the legislation more difficult.
Doctors say young female athletes are more prone to concussion than young men.

I got this note from a Kansas ticket office member.
We are currently running an on line only special promotion that allows purchasers 2 tickets for $50.00 ($3 per ticket handling fee). This is something that we rarely do but since our students will not be back to campus for this game, we are going to have to get some extra help from the public. Its a pretty good deal as GA tickets usually run $50.00 per ticket.
Anyway, if you know of anyone interested or if you are able to publicize on your web site, the link and promo code information are below.

$25 bucks a ticket to Phog Allen? Great deal!!
This is a really good deal and if you have never experienced a game at Phog Allen, it is highly recommended.
That said, I do find it humorous that KU is actively seeking CycloneFanatic/Iowa State fans cash to support their department... first with the football bus trip and now this. Gotta pay Mangino and Gill somehow.

Thanks for the post. Tickets purchased. There's a good chance I'll fall into some tickets thanks to a KU season ticket holder who lives in St. Louis and can't come to many of the games during the week, but if that doesn't work out now I'm set.
And if the tickets do fall into my lap, there will be two for sale!
My brother-in-law is a huge KU fan. This could be a good gift idea. Thanks for posting this, Mr. Gray.
Too bad it is on a Wednesday.

If it were a Saturday game I'd be all over this but that explains why they are running a special for it.

Product Name: Manufacturer : DATALOGIC SCANNING
Description : DATALOIGC SCANNING LYNX BT432 BLUETOOTH 2D IMAGER KIT INCLUDES GUN AND BASE R [901601042]
Condition : Brand New With Original Manufacturer Warranty.
Description : Lynx BT432 Cordless System The Lynx BT432 is the natural evolution of the consolidated DATALOGIC experience in 2D-CMOS readers. It frees the operator from cable entanglement thanks to Bluetooth radio communication. In fact - in most shop floor - warehouse management and parcel sorting applications as well as in postal environments - the operator needs to move freely around the work place without having to worry about a twisted and-or entangled cable. The Lynx BT432 - compliant and certified for the Bluetooth 1.2 standard - is the right answer for this need. All models (standard and high resolution) of the Lynx family perform omni-directional reading on a wide range of symbologies - from the most common 1D and 2D codes to stacked and postal codes - improving productivity and efficiency in any application. In fact - with the Lynx - the user captures the whole image of the object to be identified no matter how it is orientated - thus avoiding any alignment constraint between the reader and the symbol to be read. The Lynx BT432 also decodes all the codes found in the captured image - increasing efficiency even more. The captured image can be processed on board - or downloaded in different formats (.bmp - .jpg - .tif) for image processing on the host side. Up to 4 acquisition options allow image manipulation: zoom (from 20% to 200%) - contrast - brightness (�100%) and windowing. Aiming at the image to be captured is really easy and intuitive thanks to the double-click trigger for Point & Read - and to the five dot pointer that marks the four corners and center of the reading area. Bluetooth communication can be managed through its base-charger (OM-1000) as well as any commercial or embedded Bluetooth device - depending on the customer s needs. The Base-charger is equipped with a multi-standard interface for connection to the host via USB (COM and wedge emulation) - RS232 or Wedge emulation.

Published: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 4:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 4:06 p.m.
New Hanover County | A 65-year-old woman is undergoing psychiatric evaluation after reportedly shooting her son in the arm at his Pond Drive home on Saturday, an official said.
New Hanover County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jerry Brewer said officers were called out just before 3 p.m. to 5418 Pond Drive, where they found Thomas Buckles Bello, 42, with a gunshot wound to his left wrist and right shoulder. His mother reportedly shot him, Brewer said.
Police located the woman nearby at the home of her other son. Her name was not released. Brewer said she was cooperative with law enforcement and was taken to the hospital. Bello is recovering.

Patricia Pollaco is a prolific author illustrator of many children's books. Her stories often include her experiences spending time at her grandparents farm in Michigan and the stories of her Ukrainian, Russian and Irish heritage. All of her books have an amazing heartfelt quality to them and celebrate the kindness of people even during difficult times. In Patricia's own words:
"When I was a student in elementary school I wasn't a very good student. had a terrible time with reading and math. As a matter of fact, I did not learn how to read until I was almost 14 years old. Can you imagine what it was like to see all my friends do so well in school and I wasn't! I thought I was dumb. I didn't like school because there was this boy that always teased me and made me feel even dumber. When I was fourteen, it was learned that I have a learning disability. It is called dyslexia. I felt trapped in a body that wouldn't do what everybody else could do. That was when one of my hero's, my teacher, found what was wrong with me and got me the help I needed to succeed in school. Of course , now that I am an adult, I realize that being learning disabled does not mean DUMB AT ALL! As a matter of fact, I have learned that being learning disabled only means that I cannot learn the way most of you do. As a matter of fact most learning disabled children are actually GENIUSES! once I learned how to read and caught up with the rest of my fellow students, I did very well."
For more about Patricia, see her website:
If you have a chance, please watch her very thoughtful video response to one of her books which has been challenged.

Take A Bow
Another one of those games where the Royals pretty much hand us a win and all we have to do is take it from them.
However, in the midst of a 10-3 drubbing, Jim Thome continued to amaze:
Once again, a mighty hack from Big Thome produced a deep bomb over the right field bleachers and bouncing around out on the pavilion. This one (#586) tied him with Frank Robinson on the all-time list.
As long as his back holds out down the stretch and through the (hopefully!) playoffs, he could be just the bat we have been looking for against the likes of the Yankees or Rays (no more Brian Buscher coming off the bench in key playoff spots).
-Ben Revere makes his major league debut. Exciting player who could help in the field and on the bases down the stretch.
-Very intriguing to see Pat Neshek back on the mound. He struggled tonight, but if he can get right he could be a deadly weapon in the pennant race.

Chelan County Superior Court Judge Lesley Allen has granted yet another postponement of sentencing for convicted murderer Steven Swinford.
Jurors found Swinford guilty of second degree murder six weeks ago, and he was scheduled to appear before Judge Lesley Allen this morning at 9am for sentencing but that hearing has now been rescheduled for Friday March 30th at 2 PM.
Originally scheduled for sentencing in early March, Swinford's hearing was postponed after Swinford's defense attorney Jeremy Ford filed a motion for a new trial in late February citing prosecutorial misconduct by Chelan County Deputy Prosecutor Doug Shay. Ford claims Prosecutor Shae unfairly influenced jurors in closing arguments of the murder trial which resulted in his client's conviction for shooting his friend Paul Raney seven times with a 45 caliber handgun in 2011.
Yesterday Ford asked Judge Allen for more time to review case law surrounding his appeal. The request was in response to examples of similar cases that Shae provided to the court which appeared to discredit the misconduct allegations. Judge Allen granted the postponement.
Judge Allan will now listen to defense arguments for a retrial on Friday March 30th and then likely issue a ruling from the bench before moving on to the sentencing phase. In the unlikely event that a retrial is granted the sentencing phase would be cancelled and a new trial date would be set. However defense retrial motions are standard practice and Judge Allan would have to contradict an earlier ruling she issued during closing arguments of the murder trial in February.
KOZI will be in the courtroom tomorrow morning and will pass that information on to you as the story unfolds. Stay tuned and keep an eye on our website and our facebook page.

Beware european warranty service centre
Hi all,
A bit more than 2 years ago I bought a Fuze v2 (happily rockboxed), and after around 11 months the headphone jack broke because when my headphones were plugged in my pocket each day I think with the action of my leg against it.
So I sent it to the Sandisk repair centre, which is in czech republic. From France that was a bit pricy to send the Sansa there (around 10 EUR), but as there is no other option... That's a pretty shitty service I would say, having to send back the unit to another country. So they sent me back a new Fuze v2 a couple of days/weeks later.
Then nearly a year after that, just before the warranty expired the headphone jack broke again (can only hear one side). First they argued that my warranty had expired but it seemd that it was because they messed up with the warranty date of a Sansa Clip I bought for a friend a couple of months before I bought my Fuze. So it took them some time to realize they were wrong and even after that they said that warranty was only 1 year, even though it stated 2 years on my Fuze package (and of course minimum warranty in europe is 2 years). Well finally I sent the Fuze back, they sent me a new one... With a different package, a bit dusty. When I started the Fuze the UI was different than my previous one, then I realized they sent me an old Fuze v1.
I had to update the firmware myself because it was on an early version of the v1 firmware, seems to show that this unit has been waiting on a shelf for a pretty long time. Realizing after a few days that v1 had a pretty poor battery life (almost 5 to 7 hours less than my v2), I called them back, asking to get the same product I had paid for. After another couple of days I got an answer from the head of Sandisk warranty support in France saying that there is no v2 left and that for them it's the same product so they won't give my money back either or any other kind of compensation.
So basically don't send them back a Fuze v2, you'll get a v1 instead and they won't even give you some reduction on a Clip if you're not happy with having a old player with low battery life instead of what you had. Pretty shitty warranty support I think.
I read later that under european warranty law the seller is reponsible for the warranty, so you don't have to send it directly to the maker. Like for me if I got in touch with Amazon where I bought my Fuze, maybe they would have offered me a refund instead... I'll think about that the next time, in two years when my Fuze will have a broken headphone jack and I'll buy a Clip+ or Clip Zip and it'll break exactly the same as it seems to be a common weakness...

Welcome to ABi
Sorry to hear about your problems with your players but the sandisk service center has it right. Unless it was represented otherwise by sandisk at the original sale you bought a Fuze, not a V1 or V2 Fuze. The warranty service would be obligated to replace that Fuze with an item from their stock that equals the original item sold. As there's no way to tell which version is being sold except to turn it on and check the firmware when you bought it you bought a Fuze, not a particular variant. That's what they have to replace.
I can understand your frustration. I've had both V1 and V2 Fuzes. While the sound quality is the same there are other differences that make the V2 the preferred model. Battery life is significantly worse using Rockbox. Video isn't a Fuze strong point but being able to reliably play video from the external memory on a V2 makes it much more convenient.
saratoga saays the difference in the hardware means it's highly unlikely the V1 Fuze can get the rated battery life under the OF. Unfortunately it's unlikely that will do you any good on the battery life part of your claim. sandisk has staed the battery life to be 24 hrs. on both versions. They no doubt have test results showing the battery life minimum on the V1.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
The v1 packaging is very different from the v2 packaging, so that's a good way of knowing what version you get. But btw I don't think that the product equals what I paid for, that's why I'm warning people about this fact.
But yeah that's still something that can happen, I'm still happy to have a Fuze that works but the main concern is how can they sell a product that doesn't last one year in normal use conditions? I'm very careful with my hardware, it doesn't have any scratch and always kept in its pouch but the bare action of thigh against the headphone jack broke it in less than a year... that's a design problem I think.
The packaging on the V1 and V2 models may be different where you're at but it hasn't been elsewhere. There have been threads where someone thought they came up with a way to reliably identify which model was in the box by the packaging and it never turned out to be the case.
Someone would track down the package that was suppose to have one model in it and it turned out to be the other. It's one of the reasons for the stickies in the sansa forums to help people identify the model they have by the only way anyone has found to be 100% reliable. That's to turn it on and check the firmware version.
You say you're very careful with your players but you also say you use them with them in your pants pocket with the headphones plugged in. I've found the hard way that doing that will break any player I've had at the headphone jack. You're sticking a solid copper rod into the middle of some relatively fragile electronics and then levering against it maybe thousands of time a day as you walk. If you squat or run the amount of force increases quite a bit.
After I killed a sansa e260, a RCA Opal and an iPod like that I figured it wasn't the player but how I was using it. Since I stopped carrying my players in a pants pocket none of the headphone jacks have broken. That includes the several Fuzes I've owned, gifted or sold. They've died other ways but not by the headphone connection going bad.
I'm not defending the Fuze build quality. I don't they're especially well made. It's just that if you use one in a way that tends to break just about any other player it's hard to assign the problem to a design flaw.

Turning a Second Interview Into a Job Offer
by Jeanne Knight - Feb, 2009
Congratulations! You have been called for a second interview. That's a great sign that a potential employer is interested in you. But it doesn't mean you've secured the job, yet. You are likely one of two or more candidates asked to return for a follow-up interview, so don't let down your guard. A second interview may involve the same people you met during the first interview, and will undoubtedly involve additional people...
Keeping Spirits Up When The Job Search Gets Long
by Jeanne Knight - Dec, 2008
Few things can wreak havoc on your self-esteem more than a job search that doesn't result in immediate success. No matter what's caused you to seek a new position - whether you're a new college graduate, a casualty of downsizing, or a dissatisfied employee looking for a change - a prolonged job search can erode your self-confidence and cause you to question your marketability and self-worth. As frustrating as a job search...
The Must-Have Features of a Winning Resume
by Jeanne Knight - Oct, 2008
The possibility - or necessity - for a career change can arise at any moment. New opportunities and new challenges could be around any corner. New priorities and new ambitions could also dawn within you! So, whether it be to seize your suddenly available dream position or avoid being a casualty of a failing company, it's important that you be prepared to take action when the opportunity arises. And that means making sure your...
When Bad Bosses Happen To Good Employees
by Jeanne Knight - Oct, 2008
Chances are good that at some point in your career you will intersect with a bad boss. From middle management to CEOs, bosses who lack managerial, communication, and/or people skills exist in every level of business. Further, in these times when companies are driven by a challenging economy to run leaner operations, pressure can push even good bosses to stress-induced behaviors that create a poor working environment. There'...
Your Personal Brand: A Career Advancement Must-Have
by Jeanne Knight - Oct, 2008
Consider a scene from the recently released Kevin Spacey movie, "21." In an interview for a prestigious scholarship, the main character, Ben, tells his interviewer, Professor Phillips, that money is the only thing between him and fulfilling his long-held dream of attending Harvard Medical School. While the Professor appreciates Ben's situation, he points out that only one person can win the scholarship and that 75 other ca...
Acing the Behavioral Interview
by Jeanne Knight - Jun, 2007
"The most accurate predictor of future performance is past performance in a similar situation." This is the premise behind behavioral interviewing, an interviewing technique created in the 1970's by industrial psychologists that's becoming popular with employers. For those of you unfamiliar with this interviewing style, a behavioral interview can be a challenging experience. Unlike traditional interviewing which requires o...
Does Your Resume Need a Face-Lift?
by Jeanne Knight - Jun, 2007
While aging gracefully may be an admirable quality for most people, it unfortunately, cannot be applied to resumes. The passage of time and inattention can lead to a resume that's out of date, inconsistent with your career goals, and fails to market you to its fullest potential. So, regular maintenance is critical to your resume's success, and ultimately, your overall career success. In fact, most experts recommend updatin...
New Job Blues...Now What?
by Jeanne Knight - Jun, 2007
You've landed what you thought was the job of your dreams. Each stage of the interview went smoothly - you sold them on your skills and expertise, and your prospective boss sold you on the position and benefits of joining the company. He/she seemed excited about extending an offer. And then, with offer in hand, it was thrilling to give your notice (or tell your friends you're finally employed after a long stint of unemployment...
The Power of the Post-Interview Thank You Letter
by Jeanne Knight - Jun, 2007
Just as resumes have undergone a dramatic change over the past 20 years, so have post-interview thank you letters. Twenty years ago, a resume was typically a one page document that briefly listed a candidate's overall work experience and academic credentials. As the employment market changed and became more competitive, so did resumes. Today, they are powerful marketing tools designed to "sell" a candidate's skills, accomplish...

Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE
French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July
For some long-time Scrivener users, to quote Paul Simon, "these are the days of miracle and wonders." As it marks its 10th anniversary in business, developer Keith Blount has announced that the long-awaited iOS version of his creative-writing tool Scrivener is to be submitted to the App Store, following strong praise from beta-testers. The program, expected in late July, will sell for $20 and work with both the iPad and iPhone. When we interviewed Blount last January, he added that Scrivener 3 for Mac would follow along shorty afterwards. http://bit.ly/2901XLE

Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu

Hermine harp 34 carbon strings in cherry. Camac are one of the world's leading Celtic harp specialists, and their beautifully made harps have modern harp tension and advanced easy to use semi tone levers. Created in 2003, in response to requests from harp teachers, the Hermine is a classic Celtic harp. Its size and weight make it particularly suitable for younger harpists. Equipped with "Alliance" carbon strings, it combines the roundness and strength of the gut string sound with the robustness and stability of synthetic strings. Light, easy to handle and of impeccable quality, the Hermine nonetheless remains accessible, thanks to its very attractive price.

I've got a great way to expand your wardrobe without taking a toll on your wallet. I call it Shop Your Own Closet. Start by taking a good, hard look at your wardrobe, and pull out a few lightweight spring/summer pieces that can be layered in among your dark wooly things for the cooler months. Stay away from cotton (never looks good in winter, no matter what) and look to your silks, satins and jersey knits. Think prints, stripes and bright colors.
How to wear the look? Layer spring/summer pieces over warm, wintry ones: A silk floral dress over brown tights and a super thin brown turtleneck; a chunky cable knit cardigan over a pink jersey wrap dress, a merino turtleneck with a full, satin skirt, tights, and tall boots. Something to try: Wide waist-cinching belts (left, $58; anntaylor.com) work wonders when it comes to creating shape and controlling volume. My advice? Use what you've got, layer it up, and by all means, experiment.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

ZF-10185: Zend_Json::prettyPrint modifies string values containing JSON array/object notation
If a string passed to the Zend_Json::prettyPrint function contains any array or object notation ([{}]) the string is modified to display in the pretty print format. I don't think this function should change a value of any of the data passed to it, but just format any actual objects/arrays.
See the following php example:
$test = array('simple'=>'simple test string','stringwithjsonchars'=>'[1,2]'); $pretty = Zend_Json::prettyPrint(Zend_Json::encode($test), array("indent" => " ")) print_r($pretty); /* Actual result: { "simple":"simple test string", "stringwithjsonchars":"[ 1, 2 ] " } */ /* Expected result: { "simple":"simple test string", "stringwithjsonchars":"[1,2]" } */
Confirmed in 1.11. Looks like basic regex is used in prettyPrint, which unfortunately treats all [{, the same regardless of where they appear. This function should either be removed completely or rewritten to work as promised.
I've attached a patch which (hopefully) corrects the issue. It implements basic string-literal boundary detection and so only prints/increments the indent level when the JSON token ([{) is not inside a string literal.
Could you test the patch to see if it works as expected?
I've reviewed the patch and confirm it operates as intended. Please ensure a ZF2 git pull request including matching changes is issued for ZF2 before resolving.
Committed to trunk r24420 and r24422 (oops) Merged to release-1.11 in r24421 and r24423

ZF-7153: Add array handling to all validators and filters
The constructor of all filters and validators have to be reworked to use one single array as input.
This allows the usage of ini files without the need of keeping care of the order of the parameters. Additionally this unifies the usage for all validators and filters as it is then easily possible to extend them with new parameters without changing the API.
Example: new Zend_Validate_StringLength($min, $max);
Switched parameters makes problems when using INI or Zend_Form.
New behaviour: new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array('min' => $min, 'max' => $max));
r18028 implements array and Zend_Config support to all validators.
Added support also to all filters.
I looked into http://framework.zend.com/code/browse/…, because i had the idea of implementing an ConstraintsTemplate array into Zend_Validate_Abstract, which seemed problematic because of missing this Array Argument Support.
Now i saw just another possible improvement: Wouldn't it be more economical to implement the __construct() method within Zend_Validate_Abstract, setting the values based on existance of an appropriate Setter Method in the individual Validators, and based on the StringLength example above move any Requirement Logic into the isValid() Method?
With Requirement Logic i mean this:
if (!array_key_exists('min', $options)) { $options['min'] = 0; }
That would also lead to an easy extensibility of Zend_Validate_Abstract like setting constraintTemplates through the config when instantiating any Validator and fetching them afterwards with a getConstraints() implemented in Zend_Validate_Abstract.
Please forgive if this was not the right place to put it in.

Although your doctor may have told you to lower your total cholesterol, it's important to raise your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which is known as the "good" cholesterol. It might sound like a mixed message, but reducing "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol may lower your risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that's found in all of your cells and has several useful functions, including helping to build your body's cells. It's carried through your bloodstream attached to proteins. These proteins are called lipoproteins.
Just lowering your LDL cholesterol might not be enough for people at high risk of heart disease. Increasing HDL cholesterol also can reduce your risk of heart disease.
Although higher levels of HDL can be helpful in reducing your risk of having a heart attack, researchers caution that you should also consider other risk factors for developing heart disease. It's possible that HDL may not be as helpful for some people as others based on genetics, the size of the HDL particles and other proteins in your blood. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about how increasing your HDL cholesterol might affect you.
Cholesterol levels are measured in milligrams (mg) of cholesterol per deciliter (dL) of blood or millimoles (mmol) per liter (L). When it comes to HDL cholesterol, aim for a higher number.
If your HDL cholesterol level falls between the at-risk and desirable levels, you should keep trying to increase your HDL level to reduce your risk of heart disease.
If you don't know your HDL level, ask your doctor for a baseline cholesterol test. If your HDL value isn't within a desirable range, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes to boost your HDL cholesterol.
Your lifestyle has the single greatest impact on your HDL cholesterol. Even small changes to your daily habits can help you meet your HDL target.
Choose healthier fats. A healthy diet includes some fat, but there's a limit. In a heart-healthy diet, between 25 and 35 percent of your total daily calories can come from fat — but saturated fat should account for less than 7 percent of your total daily calories. Avoid foods that contain saturated and trans fats, which raise LDL cholesterol and damage your blood vessels.
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats — found in olive, peanut and canola oils — tend to improve HDL's anti-inflammatory abilities. Nuts, fish and other foods containing omega-3 fatty acids are other good choices for improving your LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio.
Some medications used to lower LDL cholesterol may also increase HDL cholesterol, including:
Niacin. Niacin (Niaspan) is usually the best medication to increase HDL cholesterol. Various prescription and over-the-counter preparations are available, but prescription niacin is preferred, as it has the least side effects. Dietary supplements containing niacin that are available over-the-counter are not effective for lowering triglycerides and may damage your liver.
You may have heard that a large study that examined the effect of niacin to raise HDL cholesterol was stopped early. This study examined how niacin worked when used with statin medications for people who have a history of heart disease. The trial was stopped because no difference was seen between people who took prescription-strength niacin and people who took a placebo. The study also found there may be a small increase in the risk of stroke for people who take niacin to increase their HDL cholesterol level. More research is necessary to see how effective niacin might be compared with other heart disease medications. You shouldn't stop taking niacin unless you get your doctor's OK. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about taking niacin.
If your doctor prescribes medication to help control your cholesterol, take it as directed while you continue to focus on a healthy lifestyle.
Some foods may have a healthy effect on blood cholesterol levels. Some options include:
If you're currently taking medications, talk to your doctor before starting any supplement to avoid potential harmful interactions.

text: 11.21.13 How to Help Your Wallet Survive Black Friday It's coming…Black Friday! But who really wants to get up at ungodly hours and go wait on line at a store in the cold when you're still trying to digest all of the turkey you ate the night before? Each year, more and more people give up the early morning trek to retailers and shop from home on Cyber Monday. If you're considering doing your holiday shopping online, Scott Fitterman, CEO of CouponCactus.com, has some tips to help you save money this year—and maybe even earn some! 1. Do your research: Ask the kiddies for the Christmas lists early, and start doing research. If there are different versions of what you're looking for (i.e. e-readers or new cell phones), check out review sites to make sure you're buying something worth the money. 2. Price shop: Once you've squared away exactly what it is you're looking for, use a comparison shopping website like Google Shopping or Pricegrabber to determine the three to five most reputable retailers with the least expensive prices for your items. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales happening, you're sure to see some great offers. 3. Use online coupons: Don't stop at the best price. Coupon websites allow you to search for the retailers on your list. Then you'll see additional discounts the retailer may be offering. 4. Eliminate shipping & sales tax: You can save an additional 5% - 10% by using a retailer who offers free shipping, by using a free shipping coupon, and/or by ordering from a retailer who does not charge sales tax in your state. Combining your holiday orders and purchase multiple items from the same retailer at the same time to help you save with combined shipping. 5. Use a cash back website: Certain websites will even offer you cash back for buying items you were going to buy anyway. Fitterman's website is one example. Earning cash back can be a great way to help you pay off those holiday bills. So this year, stay warm, stay home, and enjoy the long weekend!

Israel's ties with the Sub-Saharan African countries date from the mid-1950s; first contacts with some of them had taken place even before they achieved independence. In 1956, diplomatic relations were established with Ghana, followed by most countries south of the Sahara; by the early 1970s, Israel maintained full diplomatic relations with 33 countries there. These ties were an expression of African affinity with Israel, itself a young state that had achieved independence in 1948 and was eager to share its experience and expertise with the newly independent African states. Mutually beneficial economic ties were also developed, including many joint ventures.
In the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, followed by the global oil crisis, most of the Sub-Saharan countries severed diplomatic ties with Israel, due to two prime factors: promises of cheap oil and financial aid from the Arab states, and compliance with the OAU (Organization of African Unity) resolution, sponsored by Egypt, calling for the severing of relations with Israel. Only Malawi, Lesotho, and Swaziland maintained full diplomatic relations with Israel, while a few other countries sustained contact through interest offices in foreign embassies. Cooperation did, however, continue to some extent; African students participated in training courses in Israel; and Israeli experts were active throughout the continent.
Since the 1980s, diplomatic relations with sub-Saharan countries have been gradually renewed, gaining momentum as peace negotiations between Israel and its Arab neighbors progressed. By the late 1990s, official ties had been reestablished with 39 countries south of the Sahara.
Today, Israel and the sub-Saharan countries are engaged in an ongoing political dialogue, expressed in reciprocal visits by heads of state and government ministers. Furthermore, dynamic activities exist, including economic and commercial ties, cultural and academic contacts, a variety of joint agricultural projects, medical assistance, professional training programs, and humanitarian aid in times of need.
In September 2009, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman visited Ethiopia, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda, where he met with the leaders of these countries and signed a series of political, economic and development cooperation agreements. He also inaugurated joint projects between Israel and the African host countries.
Israel has followed with interest the process of political and economic integration in Africa and the creation of the African Union. As an expression of friendship and solidarity, Israel has reiterated its commitment to work together with the emerging institutions and organizations in Africa, adding another chapter to its unique relations with this continent.
