What is the difference between disposition and predisposition?
What exactly is someone's disposition? And is it different from a predisposition? A person's disposition is his or her usual mood or attitude. Are you typically pretty happy? You could be described as having a happy—or cheerful, or sunny—disposition. Animals have dispositions too; a dog with a nervous disposition doesn't easily relax into a restful pup curled up at someone's feet. In this use, disposition is a synonym of temperament; both words refer to the complex set of attitudes and inclinations that guide behavior.
Disposition can also mean "tendency" or "inclination," and in such cases it has a surprising synonym: predisposition. A disposition to exaggerate is the same as a predisposition to exaggerate. A disposition toward humility is likewise the same thing as a predisposition toward humility. The fact of being "in advance" that the prefix pre- implies hardly matters when tendency and inclination are concerned, since both concern what is likely to happen in the future.
While phrases like "a disposition to cooperate" are about as common as "a predisposition to cooperate," when the context is medical, predisposition is far more common. Phrases like "a genetic predisposition to nearsightedness" appear much more frequently in published, edited text than similar phrases employing disposition.
Did You Know?
Predispose usually means putting someone in a frame of mind to be willing to do something. So a longtime belief in the essential goodness of people, for example, will predispose us to trust a stranger. Teachers know that coming from a stable family generally predisposes children to learn. And viewing television violence for years may leave young people with a predisposition to accept real violence as normal. The medical sense of the word is similar. Thus, a person's genes may predispose her to diabetes or arthritis, and malnutrition over a long period can predispose you to all kinds of infections.

"Clear, correct, and deep, this is a welcome addition to discussions of law and computing for anyone -- even lawyers!"-- Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and founder of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society
If you work in information technology, intellectual property is central to your job -- but dealing with the complexities of the legal system can be mind-boggling. This book is for anyone who wants to understand how the legal system deals with intellectual property rights for code and other content. You'll get a clear look at intellectual property issues from a developer's point of view, including practical advice about situations you're likely to encounter.
Written by an intellectual property attorney who is also a programmer, Intellectual Property and Open Source helps you understand patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and licenses, with special focus on the issues surrounding open source development and the GPL. This book answers questions such as:
Most legal sources are too scattered, too arcane, and too hard to read. Intellectual Property and Open Source is a friendly, easy-to-follow overview of the law that programmers, system administrators, graphic designers, and many others will find essential.
The title that best describes Van Lindberg's job is "translator" - translating from "lawyer" to "engineer" and back. He enjoys working with both computer code and legal code to get things done. As an attorney, Van helps people build businesses around ideas. His experience allows him to analyze and evaluate intellectual property in a sale, license or litigation context. Van also participates in the Open Source community. He helps businesses work with and develop Open Source software and helps developers navigate the legal system to achieve project goals. He has direct experience in digital circuit design; operating system design; application programming; networked and distributed systems; virtualization; wireless networking; high-availability systems and programming languages. Outside of the traditional IP areas, Van is particularly interested in the Open Source licensing model. He has been involved (mostly as a user, but with occasional contributions) in the Open Source community since 1994. Van's favorite computer language is Python.

Comments about oreilly Intellectual Property and Open Source:
Recently I was faced a problem to determine which code can be used within the software when different licenses are mixed. Which was not a pleasant task. Studying legal related topics usually doesn't count into 'ten most interesting' things software engineers like to do. However, sometimes you have to face the problem. Van Lindberg deconstructs the legal related issue in very structured way. First of all he defines all the legal related terms and provides examples for each case. After the background is settled he goes into details - how to deal with particular, license related issues when you start to develop something. What I have found most interesting was explanation of GPL license - which is widely used and very often miss understood.Another issue that is raised within the book, and worth thinking about, is your employment - does it inflict your thinking outside company? Are you aware of that it can?What I can see at a first glance are the differences between USAlaw and European one. This makes it difficult to suggest this book as source of legal knowledge for anyone who lives outside USA. On the other hand, Van describes most common licenses that are available on the global 'market' - which can help you some way. What I have missed, however was detailed description of BSD license. I think that BSD can be treated as competitor for GPL - some way, and it would be nice to seeits detailed explanation - unless it is so simple that it doesn't require it. Would I recommend this book? It depends. If you live in USAI think it is good source of knowledge served in very clear way. If you live outside USA - I think you will only benefit from few chapterslike GPL, Reverse Engineering, Choosing a license ones. If you need explanation of basing legal terms - I think you can go for it - regardless of your living place.

Must have for developers and managers!
By Sebastiano at JUG Lugano
from Lugano, Switzerland
About Me Designer, Educator, Maker
Reading a book on legal topics might seem a daunting perspective for someone with a technical background, and I shared this viewpoint before start reading Intellectual Property and Open Source.For instance, one thing I noticed as common practice in legal contracts is referring to later content. E.g. it is typical that wording in clause 8 makes reference to what is stated in clause 9, or 11. This clashes with a developer - i.e. analytical - mindset, where you can only build on what has already been defined and/or computed, not on something which is following next :)With this in mind, I approached the book openly and I was pleased to find that the author could seamlessly take me throught aspects of patent law, copyright, trademarks, etc. with a very accessible language, clear examples, and honest considerations.Most of the chapters, particularly in the second half of the book, take the developer's perspective on open source licensing. The author jumps in the oss developer's shoes to figure out what licensing is all about, what you need to consider when chosing a licence for your own code, and IP aspects you should consider when working either as an employee or a freelance.Examples are often taken from prominent case studies, and it is easy to remember them and the argument they referred to. While deep and clear, the author succeeds not to indulge too much in legalese, which is good when you are not a lawyer :PMost popular open source licences are included in appendix for reference, so that they don't get in the way when you are focusing on specific aspects of IP. For this reason, I believe that the book can serve both as an introduction to IP in oss and a reference book.A must have book for developers keen on their own IP rights and willing to contribute to open source communities.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Practical Guide to Protecting Code
By Roy Johnson
from Undisclosed
The Open Source movement makes software available free for people to use or even to pass on to others. This flies in the face of normal commercial practice, where people jealously guard their intellectual property rights. Traditional laws support these rights - so when new open source projects come into being, often as a result of work done collectively, it can be difficult to disentangle issues of ownership and control.Van Lindberg's new book is an amazingly thorough guide to the whole business. He explains the legal niceties without resorting to too much jargon, and supplies practical support materials in the form of sample licences and agreements. The first part of the book has eight chapters giving an introduction to intellectual property law, then the second part is six chapters offering an intellectual property handbook for developers, particularly those working in the field of open sources.He warns that it's a book of general principles, not specific advice, for the very good reason that cases of copyright, patents, and intellectual property rights are very case specific. Nevertheless, he does discuss lots of instructive individual cases, and I imagine that anybody with a need to know in this complex field of legislation will find what he has to say both instructive and chastening.He explains the law on copyright, patents, and inventions by comparing it to computer programming, which it turns out to resemble remarkably closely. One new ruling (or code) is bolted on to that which already exists, and the whole statute grows by a process of accretion.As a layman, it's interesting to learn that you cannot patent an idea - no matter how original an invention it might be. You can only patent the proof that it can actually be realised and turned into something useful. And even the term 'useful' is coded - as his example of a patent dust cover for dogs illustrates. It can be used - even though the idea itself is quite barmy.On Open Sources he explains that software is free as in 'free speech', not 'free beer' - but this distinction will mean little to everyday users who are happy to download a program that works well without having to pay for it.The picture becomes clearer when he explains the success of various Open Source projects - FireFox, Linux, Apache - many of which have formed the basis for successful business ventures. The software itself is free to use and distribute, but companies have legitimately made money from offering services in support of its use.He's very good at explaining the complexities of rights developed whilst you are in somebody else's employment. In brief, you've very little chance of succeeding, and he even includes some tragic cases of people who have lost lawsuits on works patented before and after they have been in somebody else's employ. If there's a barely-hidden message here, it's 'stay away from legal contests'."As a rule, employees should assume that any intellectual output they produce whilst employed will be considered proprietary information and subject to the company's proprietary information agreement (PIA). It doesn't matter if the invention is in a completely different area of technology, or completely unconnected with your work; it still may be covered."Even if you wish to make your work available free to the public, there are a number of different licenses to choose from, offering a sliding scale of ownership and control - such as public domain, open source, and reciprocal. The general advice he gives is not to attempt writing your own.One thing is for certain. It's potentially a very complex area both technically and legally. The law works on a basis of precedence, and you can bet that if a legal tangle emerges, it will be judged on similar occurrences in the past, even though your technology might be brand new.All sorts of additional complications arise because of the special nature of software development. Does the author of a 'patch] (a small-scale solution to a problem) have copyright over it when it is added to a big project? Can you combine two open source programs and claim copyright over the result? What about reverse engineering?I would have welcomed a glossary and a webliography, but it's to O'Reilly's credit that they publish books like this - because although it might have a fairly limited readership, it raises lots of important issues and simultaneously makes available the information for dealing with them.

Chelmsford Business Association | Home
The Founding Four
Edward Duffy, Charles Parlee, Paul Hart and John Harrington
The Chelmsford Business Association is a group of nearly 300 member businesses that operate in the Town of Chelmsford. The organization of the Association includes officers and a Board of Directors. Established in 1990 by a group of business people who were concerned with the many issues of owning and operating a business in the town of Chelmsford.
They saw the importance of having a strong representation and a good working relationship with the town officials. Tax classification was always a major focus of our association. Over the life of the association, the board has worked diligently with town officials to reduce the differential between business and residential tax classification, and succeeded first when classification was lowered from 5% to 2% and then when it was recently eliminated altogether. In the fall of 1998, the Chelmsford board of Selectmen, with strong support from the CBA, voted to eliminate tax classification.
The Chelmsford Parade Committee, Inc. would like to thank everyone who helped to make our 2016 4th of July parade such a huge success! We are pleased to announce that we have been reappointed again for 2017 and are already busy making plans. We would love to have more members participate with us so if you would like to help with this great event please feel free to contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Also check out our web site for great pictures and information on the parade: www.chelmsfordparade.com.

We do this by taking in homeless animals, fostering them in the homes of our foster volunteers, tending to their veterinary needs, and adopting them into carefully screened homes. We work on any behavioral problems while they are in foster care as well as basic house manners, crate- and housetraining.
Barlee's Angels are usually abandoned, unwanted, abused or stray animals. These animals come primarily from shelters. Barlee's strongly supports responsible pet ownership and therefore will try to help people to keep their pets rather than accept the pet as a first option. As with all rescues, space is limited and if we can help some pet owners through the problems that are causing them to feel they must give up their pet, we can use that space for other animals in trouble.
Only if we are able to, Barlee's will accept an owner surrender into the rescue and rehoming program, but the pet must be vaccinated, altered, accompanied by all of it's possessions (eg bed, toys, blanket) and a surrender fee may be required to offset some of the substantial costs of caring for and rehoming an animal.
Barlee's provides foster care for our companion animals, evaluates temperament and personality, provides veterinary attention as necessary, spays or neuters and then matches the animal with a home that is suitable for that individual animal. This can often take months and it can be very costly. An adoption fee is charged for the pet and followups are ongoing to monitor the success of the placement. Wildlife are rehabilitated and released when possible.

Until there are none...rescue one
We're on Facebook! www.facebook.com/groups/barlees/

The adoption process for Barlee's Angels and for most rescues is a thorough process that involves an adoption application, reference checks, and discussion about the potential adoptive home, including a home visit. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time - and we'd like to stress that this is a necessary part of our job. We feel that when we rescue an animal we have a responsibility to ensure that we place it in a home that is equipped and committed to caring for the pet for the rest of its' natural life.
Please understand that filling out an adoption application or complying with any of our approval procedures in no way guarantees the acceptance of an adoption application. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant for any reason, at our discretion. We also reserve the right to investigate for the purpose of verification information given in adoption applications, and not to disclose any such information revealed in such investigations.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Foiled Islands: Abbas Akhavan's Islands
The Third Line Gallery, Dubai
5 May – 17 June, 2010
review by Sara Mameni
You are standing underneath a palm tree looking up. The tree's wide fronds extend out like an umbrella above your head. The sky is clear. It is sunny. Instead of protecting you from the sun, however, the tree glares back at you with its golden leaves. The trunk of the tree is solid black, but it's flat fronds have been meticulously layered with sheets of 22-carat gold. The palm tree appears on a regular Xeroxed sheet of paper. It is a grainy black and white image, except that the palm leaves are highlighted with thin layers of gold.
Palm trees are a familiar sight in Dubai. They are native to the region and were traditionally used as the main architectural material for building Barasti (palm-frond) houses. Barasti houses are built on wooden foundations, using palm trunks as columns and split fronds for roof hatchings and window screens. Such houses, however, are the last thing you should expect to see in Dubai today. A dense metropolis known for its rapid urban development and home to the world's tallest skyscraper (Burj Khalifa), Dubai is mostly built out of concrete, glass and steel poured over rocks and sand.
The most direct relationship between palm trees and architecture in contemporary Dubai is the reclamation project that extends the city into the Persian Gulf in the form of three artificial islands known as the Palm Islands. Built in the shape of palm trees by Al Nakheel development company (whose very name translates into "Palms" in Arabic), the Palm Islands sprout into the gulf multiplying its shoreline and beachside luxury properties. Dubai's real estate boom dates back to the early 2000s reaching its height in 2002. The bubble has since burst, leaving Dubai in a perpetual state of half-finished construction.
The Palm Islands were featured prominently in Abbas Akhavan's exhibition "Islands." One side of the gallery was dedicated to a large map of Dubai drawn directly onto the wall using imitation gold leaf. Akhavan's golden map covered one entire wall, presenting the city from above, the ideal vantage point for viewing the Palms and the constellation of other artificial islands that surround them. Much like the desirable beachside properties that are sold in bits to foreign investors, Akhavan's golden map was also up for sale. For the duration of the exhibition, collectors could choose any section of the wall, carve it out and pay for it by the metre. Akhavan's prices varied based on the locations depicted on the map: the gallery wall was zoned according to the desirability of the lots represented there. As rectangular blocks were wedged out of the wall, the price of the remaining work increased and the hollow foundation of the drywall became apparent. Akhavan's map left the gallery in solid chunks to be reinstalled as luxury items in buyer's apartments or air-tight storage areas capable of preserving its golden sheen. All that was left behind was the white powdery dust of the drywall spotted with golden flakes on the gallery floor.
The void left behind on the wall was as constructed as the golden map itself. The analogy here is not the familiar rhetoric of a hollow land built over with luxury towers that are nothing but a facade. That language is suspiciously similar to colonial views of conquered lands, presented as barren and uninhabited in order to justify settlement, foreign investment and development. Rather, the void left on the gallery wall is more plausibly seen as a fabricated absence related to the diminishing supplies of a very specific commodity that has shaped the economy — if not the very identity — of the Middle East: oil. Unlike its neighboring emirate Abu Dhabi, which is the largest oil producer in the UAE, Dubai's oil wells have become desiccated since the late 1990s, necessitating a search for another source of income. It is hardly a stretch to suggest that the real estate boom of the early 2000s was a direct result of a shift from an oil-based economy, dating back to the early 1960s, to one that concentrated on tourism, investment banking and service industries.
While Akhavan's golden map left the gallery with hollow pits, his photocopies pointed to alternative economies existing in the region. Displayed in the same room as the large golden map, the xeroxed images depicted labor activities such as fishing, date farming and herding, where animals and vegetables, the main sources of survival, were covered in gold leaves. It is in these images that we see a man climbing a palm tree to collect dates or cut its broad fronds for a Barasti hut. Akhavan's black-and-white images, which stayed in the gallery while the map was gradually dissected, introduced a discourse parallel to the one provoked by Dubai's real estate market. These grainy shadows held firm against the wall, while the opposite wall was gradually dismantled and devoured.

Macala Wright: How Technology Is Changing Customer Loyalty Programs
Retailers are building online communities of like-minded people with new and emerging online services.
In 2013, retailers began to experiment with technology to better incentivize customer loyalty programs. They did this by heavily investing in platforms and experiences that encourage and reward engagement.
Whether the efforts were campaign-driven or focused on using technology to further augment current loyalty programs, retailers are now focused on creating like-minded shopper communities in hopes of helping build individual customer loyalty with value that extends to the associated retailer.
Investing in communities seemed to dormant practice, as most retailers have focused on building presences on individual social media platforms and channels that their customers use such as Facebook, Twitter, Vine, YouTube, Pinterest and Instagram.
Communities offer retailers many opportunities, including social branding and ways to build future partner marketing opportunities. Best of all, communities can integrate or be fully powered by information shared by their customers on established social networks via those platforms' APIs. By adding functionality for users to also submit content directly to a portal, you allow conversation to ebb in flow between customers' social graphs. These communities, if housed within scalable technological platforms, also enable a retailer to gain social and customer insights in addition to engagement and conversation. Bumebox, ThisMoment, and certain offerings from Mass Relevance are great examples of platforms to look at.
Just a few retailers are building bespoke communities; and often, these communities are powered by social flexible technologies found within their social CRM suites (Starbucks uses SalesForce to power MyStarbucks idea) or a platform such as Mightybell (which powers Lean In and Skillcrush). This allows their communities to be integrated into overall digital marketing plans with little disruption and also used as a connective thread to customer engagement over a much longer period of time.
For example, retailer Urban Outfitters provides its customers with a way in which to upload photos of their selfies. UO rewards shoppers for sharing their style with exclusive offers and discounts. These rewards are linked to participation in a wider community, providing lasting benefits to both retailers and their customers. Why would Urban Outfitters do this? They're anticipating the shifts that are beginning to happen in their customers in hopes of maintaining their affinity for the brand. A customer base that comprised of Millennials.
Millennials (those born between 1980 and 1995) are the fastest growing consumer group globally. In 2013, 60% of the global population is under the age of 30, and this group is currently responsible for $1.6 trillion in consumer spending each year.
In a recent consumer insight study, The Future Laboratory's forecasting service, LSN: Global noted that Millennials are the most brand-savvy consumer group in the world. These consumers are just starting to enter their wealth accumulation phase and they are willing to engage with brands in collaborative ways as long as the brand is ethical and transparent with them.
The study also showed that Gen Y consumers love to curate their lives in visually rich ways. This is why we seen a rise of visual culture as it relates to the way in which they put their lives together in collages via Vine, Instagram and Twitter and spit them out for their friends and followers to see.
"Millennials are experience seekers, collaborative consumers, digitally synchronized and highly entrepreneurial," says Tiffany Arntson of The Future Laboratory. "They are so entrenched in brands that they swap and fluidly move through them." Because everything this consumer group does is based on collaboration, the return of like-minded communities should not be a surprise to any marketer.
When exploring this phenomenon as part of retail marketing practices, it's import for retailers to ask themselves several questions. To investigate, I asked other experts to co-create the answers to these questions.
What are the trends brands and retailers need to look for in developing loyal communities?
According to Gina Biachini, founder of Mightybell, "It's important for retailers to create the conditions by which people can organize around topics with people getting things done. That might be the ability to make money or develop an important skill or take on a new activity."
In the LSN: Global study, 48% of women and 41% of men are willing to share their personal data with brands. But if retailers want consumers to share information, 67% of women and 63% of men were willing to share if there their information for financial gain.
As a marketers, we could ask our selves, "Would paying our community members or financially incentivizing them give us even more accurate information that would enable to provide better products and services in order to maintain customer loyalty?" Thus, we would be creating a self-sustaining cycle that that allows us to deepen our relationship with our customers while also scaling it into new areas to maintain their loyalty?
- What could your retail brand develop based on the information gathered from your community?
- What could third party developers create for them based on the data you have available?
What is a retailer's responsibility to its community?
"Retailers have a responsibility to increase the value of their communities and leave them better than they initially started. They have an obligation to provide opportunities to members that submit quality content, articulate insight or inform product. Brands horribly underestimate the potential of their fans and set expectations so low that they produce the same relationship as an apathetic parent with a bratty kid," says content marketing strategist Nancy Ihlenfeldt. "Success is determined when at the end of the year the entirety of the community has increased in value as well as in number. You'll know you've done your job when the conversations are no longer directly with the brand but are inspired interactions between the members of the community themselves."
What can a retailer learn from them? How can they be used for product development or innovation?
Red Clay founder Abigail Kiefer says, "By giving community members something to do or a reason to participate in events –– like product design. If a brand's customers know that they have the power to affect the products that they purchase from them, they'll often participate in the design process. In new forms of consumer research, brands can use their social listening softwares to figure out several core categories that their customers are talking about, then segment them in ways that allow customers to vote on improvements and/or new features that make products more functional."
By adding some quality controls to crowdsourcing product innovation, brands are able to get very real information that carries over to increase consumer purchase. And it doesn't require the high costs of traditional market research.
SmartWool provided a great example of the company leveraged community. "Part of what you can learn is based on the thinking put into setting up the community. You don't just decide to start community based marketing because it's going to solve all your problems at once. You decide to do it because you think it addresses specific business needs at that time. So what you can learn is more like what you want to learn," said digital marketing manager Jeff Snow. "As our community grows, we will segment our testing into focus groups. An example would be that the ski group would only get advanced ski samples to test with a feedback schedule to help inform the development of the product category. All members will be rewarded for their participation based on things they value. The members who offer the best insights will be brought in closer to our product development team and eventually have a product summit with them."
What are benefits for brands and retailers to embrace the customer-centric and community oriented practices?
"Watching what a community takes and runs with is one of the most important things any business can do," says Gina Bianchini, founder of Mightybell. "Community marketing is a dramatically faster way for understanding what works, what doesn't and where the next generation of opportunities are."
As a Millennial, not just a marketer, everything I do is about community and I constantly thinking of how my actions are affecting the local place in which I live. As a consumer looking for local groups that share my values, I don't want to be inundated with choices in the long run. Brands that focus on building the best community portals that address my challenges, makes me feel safe and makes it easy to relate to others are to be the ones that hold my attention and participation.
"While software as a service platforms that allow retailers to build communities are available, they are going to have to become more flexible in terms of branding in order to provide a cohesive experience. Consumers are going to want seamless connections to them as well – that retailers figuring out if these communities live as microsites or extensions of their current e-commerce sites." – Macala Wright
Like all marketing strategies and tactics, community may have a shelf life; holding long-term benefits only for those who strategically plan them out and have a vision for how to nurture over a long period of time. Community requires continual dialogue, content creation and care. And from what I've seen, not many brands are stepping up to the plate in order to build these types of experiences and environments. Apps and photos loads may be short lived, but a network of like-minded individuals offers infinite possibilities when a little two-way conversation is added.

I'm currently evaluating FreeIPA, and am attempting to figure out how to set the password encryption method to be SHA512, as opposed to the default (To which I'm unsure of as well).
I can't seem to find any method to accomplish this via the Web UI. Is there something I'm missing?
I create a page with webforms autehnticate. I store logins and passwords in a database. Passwords are hashed (SHA512) with random salt value (RNGCryptoServiceProvider). Additionaly before hashing I mix original user password with salt value. I would like to add some pepper value, but I'm not sure where it is best to put the value of the pepper [I guess that directly in the code is a poor idea ;)] If in web.config then how to do this?
Or maybe I do not need pepper at all?
This question already has an answer here:
Hey please help I did the encryption using SHA-512 algorithm but now i want to do decryption with it and get back the original string. but i am facing lots of problem even i tried reverse engineering to but it only convert the hex to byte format after that it provide garbage values. can anyone help me.Thank you this is my encryption code with SHA-512
private static String encrypt(String EncryptPass, String temp){ String generatedPassword = null; try { MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512"); md.update(temp.getBytes()); byte[] bytes = md.digest(EncryptPass.getBytes()); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for(int i=0; i< bytes.length ;i++) { sb.append(Integer.toString((bytes[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1)); } generatedPassword = sb.toString(); } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return generatedPassword;}
I created a text file in Ubuntu called text.txt with some text and no newline at the end.
When I use online sha512 hash generators, I get different results than sha512sum. Why is that?
# echo "8====D" > test.txt # sha512sum test.txt
549f38836f34b6fe2ca8661f5bd91dfcbcb2e675c338e7eb50390f8ebb509f28fb6df9ebcb0493cfa661b042180a9b351f6c06dbd628300e47cbdf4d13e6d9b2 test2.txt
http://passwordsgenerator.net/sha512-hash-generator/ and http://hash.online-convert.com/sha512-generator show the hash as: ba54cdfcc32c0789acd1ee74ccd7cf2e5140f58b3d6864620c24793a93f01253d040bb3264a17629f1f0448eb22f600c6c1e5274162db97b913bde30ff16c6eb
I don't really want to dump some code and expect answers but this is a pretty lengthy function that hashes a password in order to later compare it to the database-stored value.
I have seen posts where people wasted time trying to recreate what they could achieve with the
md5() function in PHP.
For that reason, I'm wondering if someone with any encryption knowledge knows of a PHP equivalent to achieve the following effect in PHP:
internal static string GenerateEncryptedPassword(string password, string salt, int iterationCount) { byte[] passwordBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password); byte[] saltBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(salt); byte[] iterationCountBytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(iterationCount); int derivedLength = passwordBytes.Length + saltBytes.Length; byte[] passwordSaltBytes = new byte[derivedLength]; byte[] pbkdf2Bytes; string encryptedString; for (int i = 0; i < passwordBytes.Length; i++) { passwordSaltBytes[i] = passwordBytes[i]; } for (int i = 0; i < saltBytes.Length; i++) { passwordSaltBytes[passwordBytes.Length + i] = saltBytes[i]; } using (Rfc2898DeriveBytes pbkdf2 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, passwordSaltBytes, iterationCount)) { pbkdf2Bytes = pbkdf2.GetBytes(derivedLength + iterationCountBytes.Length); } using (SHA512 sha512 = new SHA512Managed()) { byte[] hashBytes = sha512.ComputeHash(pbkdf2Bytes); byte[] hashSaltBytes = new byte[hashBytes.Length + saltBytes.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++) { hashSaltBytes[i] = hashBytes[i]; } for (int i = 0; i < saltBytes.Length; i++) { hashSaltBytes[hashBytes.Length + i] = saltBytes[i]; } encryptedString = Convert.ToBase64String(hashSaltBytes); } return encryptedString; }
If it changes anything, I'm using Laravel...
Thank you for any guidance
I hate encryption :D
$user = \App\User::all();$salt = strtolower($user[2]->Salt);$password = 'P@$$W0rd';$dbPassword = $user[2]->Password;$iterations = 10000;echo openssl_pbkdf2($password, $salt, 44, $iterations, 'sha512');

The EU budget talks this week are so fraught in their own right that some leaders are seeking legal advice about whether Europe could override Britain's right of veto over the budget. But the negotiations have become the occasion for a lively debate too about wider aspects of Britain's place in Europe.
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, reaffirmed his own commitment to Europe in a speech to the CBI today, warning that the country risks "sleepwalking" out of the EU as a result of the approach taken by some Tory Eurosceptics. But he has also tilted towards Eurosceptic opinion, declaring that pro-Europeans should not ignore the institution's failings but seek to build alliances with other like-minded members. It is a compromise approach which gives due weight to the EU's importance to the British economy but acknowledges the extent of public dissatisfaction with Europe.
There is indeed genuine restiveness on this issue: a new poll suggests that more than half of those surveyed wanted out of the EU; another poll found still more in favour of leaving the EU if Westminster cannot take powers back from it.
Growing Euroscepticism is plainly more of a problem for David Cameron than for Labour, given tensions within the Tory party on the issue, let alone within the Coalition. He has to perform a delicate balancing act, being tough enough to satisfy his backbenchers at the same time as engaging with other EU leaders. Mr Miliband's
pro-European stance, meanwhile, has been compromised by Labour's support for Tory Eurosceptics in the Commons vote on the EU budget: Labour and the rebels inflicted a defeat on the Government by voting for a cut rather than an inflation increase as the Prime Minister wants.
As Mr Cameron enters the budget negotiations this week he does not lack advice. The Mayor, Boris Johnson, has advised him to take a Thatcherite-style line in the talks, which would infuriate other member states but would play well with the Tory backbenches. As ever, Europe is a stage on which the parties project their identities but this time the stakes are higher.
A nation at ease
If the extent to which the nation is at ease with itself and its institutions can be measured in its support for the royal family, then Britain is a contented country. According to a poll in this paper today, support for the royals is at record levels for recent times, with 80 per cent of respondents in favour of monarchy and only 16 per cent against. That is a remarkable level of support.
Surprisingly, the popularity of Prince William now exceeds that of the Queen. But the pecking order within the institution is less important than the support it commands overall. It has next to no real power but monarchy serves to give the country a sense of continuity and stability. The royal family chimes both with a celebrity culture and one that sets store by tradition. And for now, the combination of the Queen's longevity and sense of duty and Prince William's youth makes for an attractive combination.
Women as bishops
The Church of England begins its synod today, which will decide whether to ordain women as bishops. It is a move in keeping with progress towards equality in society as a whole. By all means make proper provision for conscientious objectors but change should happen now.

"X-Men: First Class" Premieres in NYC
Giving folks a first look at the comic book-infused goodness, "X-Men: First Class" held a premiere in New York City last night (May 25).
James McAvoy, Rose Byrne, and Zoe Kravitz all showed up at the Ziegfeld Theatre to greet fans and pose for the paparazzi.
Meanwhile James McAvoy showed off her own flavor of maternity style in a black and navy Preen dress with black strappy stiletto heels.
Though she hasn't revealed who the babydaddy is, a source close to January says it's not her ex-boyfriend Jason Sudeikis. "She told him she wanted kids and it turned him off. Jason was bummed out she was on the mommy track. If Jason were the dad, he'd step it up."

Granblue also allows for some of the most bizarre Winning Images—that actually work, to exist in the game. Ever think about running one copy of only 4 Grade 3s? Howabout one Grade 3 total? Have you ever wanted to spam those soulblasting cards that let you draw, or just get advantage simply for riding Grade 3? Have you ever thought about running 10 critical triggers and 2 stand triggers? This is some pretty weird stuff, but that's Granblue for you.

What Do You Miss?
Finding the house of your youth disfigured on YouTube? Horrifying.THE MISSING THING. We've talked about serendicity before. Here's the chronology. I did a piece the other day about the ordinary losses associated with time. You get older and certain things go away. I mixed the topics of Jersey tomatoes and snack foods. I was attempting to cheer people up in my odd way. Some of that sense of ongoing loss is reminiscence, nostalgia, and some of it is pique -- good things done in for no reason that just might be revivable.
I was moved by those who chose to respond. They tilted heavily toward nostalgia, even in some cases toward nostalgia for times not even experienced. Joe kind of pierced my heart.
Many things I pine for were dead or dying before I was even born. I would have loved to live in a time when children tried to dress like men, rather than the other way around. I would like to be able to wear a tailored suit and a homburg or a fedora without someone asking me if I'm preparing for a production of Guys & Dolls. I would like to be able to drive a massive car with tail-fins, without getting glares from the hybrid drivers and being made to feel like I am dooming the world to another ice-age because I like my car.
He doesn't remember these times. He just longs for them, the way future generations will long for a great America they've heard about but never known. Others, just as affectingly, knew precisely what they could never get back.
I grew up in the 1950's in a very
small town in northeast Kansas (population about 400). In the
summertime they would put on a weekly band concert. The band was
made up of adults in the community as well as high school
musicians. My best friend's dad played trumpet. They put on these
concerts right in the middle of the main street and all the stores
stayed open late. In those days the railroad had a depot in the
town. The railroad employed a fellow to deliver freight which he
delivered by putting it on a cart when he pulled by hand. He had a
helper at times to help push the cart and make the deliveries.
Neither of them were educated and were probably quite limited
intellectually. Nonetheless, I considered them my friends. When it
was time for a band concert, they would pull their cart down to
the city auditorium. In the basement of the auditorium was the
railing and the chairs for the concert. They would haul the
railing and the chairs and the music
I still live in the country. Much of what is only a memory to most is still alive here. I can get real tomatoes, for example. People grow them in private plots and sell them at roadside stands where the honor system remains in force. There's a tackle box with a slot in the top and you put the money in for the tomatoes, beans, and canteloupes because the proprietors aren't there. Multiple customers are a luxury because they make change with each other.
We have a Market Day once a week on the main street of my town in summer. The farmers come to sell their produce, and people wander back and forth across the street visiting and gossiping. We have Cowtown Rodeo, written about here before, where people bring their kids and actually police their behavior in consideration of other folks, and everyone helps out with making sure no kid wanders too far from his parents.
We have a real annual county fair with all the lost trimmings: Four-H competitions, kids standing proudly by their healthy heifers, rabbits, pigs, and goats. Innocently boastful posters too. A music tent featuring local talent. Dog agility contests, funnel cake entrepreneurs, antique tractor exhibitions. Young hellions without tattoos compete in equestrian events.
Our asparagus, sweet corn, and pole lima produce remains the best in the country.
A lot of what others miss I don't have to. Why I felt guilty. So I dug deeper. Truth is, I miss all kinds of things that will never come back. I've written about a huge whole bunch of them here. But there was one, well, multimedia sensory experience that will be no more I wanted to cop to in honor of the commenters. I wanted to share the experience of August in South Jersey tomato country, a mile long line of tomato trucks, like a train riding on muddy tires, chugging sonorously as it inched toward toward the three tomato factories in town -- Heinz, Ritters, and Hunts. A city boy would probably call it a reek. A town of 30,000 (then) overpowered by the intense. rich. earthy but sweetish smell of tomatoes loaded by the millions in palisaded trucks stewing in the late summer heat. And, yes, it was hot back then too, long before rumors of global warming. Definitely and absolutely something lost that can't be brought back again.
I was going to link it to my own youth by tracking down the first tomato canning plant in Greenwich, New Jersey. You know. The place where it all began. Where I began.
Searched YouTube, because the physics of posting make YouTubes easier than jpg's anymore. When I stumbled on my own home address. Yeah, it's still less than 20 miles away, but I've avoided it for years because I didn't want to know. Now I do.
Good God. The YouTube up top really is a current rendering of the house I grew up in. But it's not the house I grew up in. It's a grotesque fake, a pretentious fraud, an inflated museum monstrosity that makes me physically ill even to see.
We didn't have a numbered street address when I lived there. We were just RD#3, meaning part of the third rural delivery route. I recognized it first from the outside view (huh? What? Can't be...) and then, definitively, from that wide fireplace with the dutch oven.
I spent the first 14 years of my life in that house. It wasn't a fake then. It was part of the great American story, one generation giving way to the next, sometimes for good, sometimes for ill. It was a living body of American history, good and bad. I played my own part in it. My part was a small part, now erased, my father's larger, now camouflaged and turned fraudulent, and I am compelled to say that what I miss most is ordinary human history.
If you want, I'll tell the story. The difference between the house in the video and what I remember. If you don't we can talk about all the other stuff you miss. I'm laying no special claim. Just offering a serendicitous moment.
Otherwise, I'll proceed as before.

They might not be as easy as optic orange to see but they are far from impossible to see. I almost forgot, I have several really light colored SA lines. I have a really light blue Tarpon taper, a bonefish taper that is almost white with a hint of tan and a really old white Bass line I forget who made it. I have never really had a problem seeing them in the air.
I also have several orange to optic orange lines that I don't really think cause problems either. My Pike lines are Orange and it's a color Pike see so you would think lining them with it might not be good, but I have never seen any evidence that it is a bad thing to line them with it. But that's Pike. Maybe trout might not enjoy being lined with a bright orange line.
I have a camera case that is good to 330' deep and scuba gear so next summer I think I will try a couple of experiments with low angle shots and lines against the sky etc. Being in complete control of the experiments and with proper editing I'm sure I can make me look right.
I would LOVE to see your photos with your camera, good stuff!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Marist women's lacrosse team lost in the first game of its two-game Florida road trip by a 17-7 margin at Jacksonville on Tuesday afternoon. A fast start by the Dolphins served as the deciding factor in the first-ever meeting between the two programs. Sophomore Kirsten Viscount (Smithtown, N.Y.) led the Red Foxes' offense with three goals scored. Senior goalie Ashley Casiano (South Windsor, Conn.) made 12 saves to backstop the Red Fox defense.
The high-scoring Dolphin team, who led the NCAA in 2012 with 18.16 goals a game, jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first eight minutes over the visiting Red Foxes.
Sophomore Lexi Brannigan (Loudonville, N.Y.) got Marist on the scoreboard with an unassisted tally at 19:37.
After seven scoreless minutes of action, Jacksonville would notch the first of five consecutive unanswered goals at 12:14 to go up by an eventual 8-1 mark.
Right before the half, junior Bailey Knapton (Canandaigua, N.Y.) found Brannigan for her second goal of the half to make it an 8-2 game at the break.
The teams would play an even eight minutes over the opening portion of the second half; each team registered two goals. For the Red Foxes Amanda Tuck (Mamaroneck, N.Y.) and Viscount netted goals at 27:24 and 22:13, respectively.
Viscount would score her second goal in five minutes at 17:00 after receiving a pass from freshman Allison Gionta (Eastport, N.Y.) to make it 10-5.
The Dolphins would step up the pressure and efficiency over the final 15:26, as they would outscore the Red Foxes 7-2. Viscount and junior Brooke Wickham (Penn Yan, N.Y.) scored the goals for Marist at 8:44 and 1:55.
Jacksonville improved to 6-3 on the year with the 17-7 victory. The Dolphins outshot the Red Foxes 43-13 and held a 30-8 advantage in shots on goal. Jacksonville also forced 16 turnovers, seven of which caused failed clears for Marist.
The Red Foxes will be have a quick turnaround as they travel to Deland, Florida to take on first-year NCAA women's lacrosse member Stetson in a 6 p.m. contest on Thursday, March 21.

Industry's role in a balanced economy
The manufacturing industry's role within a balanced economy is being recommended at a European level to encourage a renewed contribution towards employment, and in view of the important economic linkages it enables through sub-contracting and related activities, like services.
The EU is embarking on a rebalancing process which is giving due importance to the so-called 'real' economy. A few weeks ago, the European Commission issued a communication on the mid-term review of its industrial policy which considered the prolonged impact of the economic crisis after 2010 and the deteriorating global economic outlook. The commission deli-vered the very important message that Europe needs its real eco-nomy now more than ever to underpin its economic recovery. "Europe needs to reverse the declining role of industry in Europe for the 21st century. This is the only way to deliver sustainable growth, create high-value jobs and solve the societal challenges that we face," it said.
Similar focus is also required at local level to ensure that the basic fundamentals for a competitive industry are in place.
The manufacturing sector has had to endure the mistaken assumption that a shrinking industrial base is part of an inevitable evolution for deve-loped economies towards services and high-tech industries. But these trends are not sustainable for an advanced economy.
Besides, a drop in the contribution of manufacturing to employment is not necessarily a sign of modern and efficient economies. It is also wrong to assume that all manufacturing is, or will be, moving to Asia and other low-cost regions. One needs only look towards countries like Germany and the UK which took active steps to inject new life into manufacturing through technology and innovation support structures. A desire to 'rebalance' certain economies besides financial services is one of the factors which have spurred a revival of demand for industrial policies, with active government intervention cited in the US, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and South Korea.
Through a diversified portfolio which includes foods, beverages, textiles, pharmaceuticals, rubbers, plastics, transport equipment, electrical and electronic components, industry in Malta is contributing to around 13 per cent of the country's output while directly providing over 20,000 jobs. This means 18 per cent of the total private sector jobs directly, and many other jobs indirectly through its supply chain.
Additionally, the list of services related to the production process and manufactured products is endless, and growing. It includes research, development and product design in the early phases; design and branding involved in the marketing and advertising of finished products; and wholesale and retail activities at the end of the value chain. Digging deeper in specific stages, a whole list of associated activities is uncovered, such as logistics services including freight forwarding, warehousing, transportation and distribution; other services related to packaging, quality control, labelling, testing, supply chain management, waste treatment and disposal, equipment repair and mainten-ance, engineering design and consultancy, and scientific testing and analysis.
Manufacturing remains a top contributor to the economy, despite a gradual decline which may be the result of considering other priorities in recent years. But in 2010 manufacturing was overtaken by wholesale and retail as the highest employing sector. This has rather significant implications for our economy, particularly in terms of our balance of payments.
Malta has traditionally prided itself with having the right attributes as an investment location for manufacturing. Such attributes include geographical positioning, low labour cost and a stable political and social environment. However global industry is alive and we have to take note of the forces which shape this competitive environment. In a reality characterised by recessionary pressures and austerity measures, additional advantages which increase the competitive edge are sought, such as cost-effectiveness, proximity to customers, links to vibrant production networks, availability of technology, and an affordable, flexible and skilled human capacity-base.
Manufacturing must keep abreast with the constant advancements in science, electronics and logistics techno-logies, and the fast developments in product design, marketing and distribution.
Experiences in different countries show that neglecting the manufacturing industry results in upsetting a healthy economic balance by increasing reliance on other more volatile sectors, therefore structurally impairing the economy by hampering its ability to recover from challenging situations.
It is evident that different parts of the world are stepping up to a harsh competition by advancing their manufacturing superiority. Malta needs to enhance its attractiveness to industry to avoid a relocation of important sectors out of the country, which would have devastating effects on the Maltese economy and local living standards.
To ensure the country's resilience, Malta needs a balanced economic planning which avoids any single sector domin-ating the national economy. By balancing the economy, Malta will be better positioned to narrow the trade deficit, increase exports, create employment opportunities for different groups of the working population, and be better protected against future economic downturns. The re-emerging awareness of the importance of manufacturing in Europe is an important signal. There is no doubt that the real economy will continue to define the future. Our challenge is to enhance Malta as a prime location for manufacturing ventures to prosper.
The future can be secured by working together towards a coherent national plan that places at its core a well diversified economic portfolio, and gives due focus to a vibrant manufacturing industry.
Mr Fauser is the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry's Manufacturing Economic Group.

Post Production Market Monitoring and Customer FeedbackIndustry feedback and constant market monitoring by the team Key Findings• Cloud can be defined as a pool of compute, memory, and input-output resources, applications or operating environments with seemingly infinite scalability, delivered as a service over a network, be it private or public.• Benefits of cloud to the healthcare industry include:oProven significant reduction in costs as well as movement of a large capital expenditure to operating expenditure.oImproved business scalability, agility, and resource management.oImproved data sharing and communications.• Adoption of cloud amongst healthcare providers varies considerably across Asia-Pacific (APAC) as well as amongst the public and private sector. While Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Hong Kong represent mature markets, most countries across the region are still in the growth phase.• There continues to be significant confusion and apprehension around the precise products and services that cloud technologies incorporate. Unclear and evolving personal and health data protection laws also create doubts regarding the safety of healthcare data in the cloud.• It is evident that cloud adoption in healthcare will grow faster than expected, which would lead to commoditization of healthcare information technology (healthcare IT) in the near future.• Cloud architecture will be the key enabler of patient-centric information exchange.

So when I install to disk, I cannot subsequently start either flux or X. When I use this as a Live CD I do not have the problem. I would tell you the exact error but it's running currently and I don't wish to stop it in the middle of its' task.
The additional problem I have with using the Live CD is that there is not enough space for a large dump file. Is there any parameter that can be set initially that would allow for a larger dynamic space?
By the way, this is a fantastic compilation. Particularly for those of us who are LINUX challenged.
Thanks kindly,
