1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to management of host computers in an open protocol network, for example management of host computers configured for providing respective functions as part of a unified messaging system.
2. Description of the Related Art
The evolution of the public switched telephone network has resulted in a variety of voice applications and services that can be provided to individual subscribers and business subscribers. Such services include voice messaging systems that enable landline or wireless subscribers to record, playback, and forward voice mail messages. However, the ability to provide enhanced services to subscribers of the public switched telephone network is directly affected by the limitations of the public switched telephone network. In particular, the public switched telephone network operates according to a protocol that is specifically designed for the transport of voice signals; hence any modifications necessary to provide enhanced services can only be done by switch vendors that have sufficient know-how of the existing public switched telephone network infrastructure.
Unified communications systems are under development as a way of enhancing messaging services for users such as wireless telephone subscribers. A disadvantage of unified communications systems implemented as enhanced versions of the voice mail system, paging system, or e-mail interface resident within the wireless telephone communications system is that such implementation requires detailed knowledge of the proprietary protocols associated with the voice mail systems. Hence, such implementations are available only from switch vendors having knowledge of the proprietary protocols.
Use of a unified communications system implemented independent of the existing proprietary voice mail systems, such as the commercially-available Cisco Unified Open Network Exchange (Cisco uOne) (Products UONE-FOUND 4.1S, and UONE-VOICEMSG4.1S) from Cisco Systems, Inc., enables service providers to use scalable and distributed systems using recognized communication protocols. Hence, the service providers may use such unified communications systems across multiple platforms, independent of protocol, for storage of unified messages (carrying e.g., voice messages, facsimile, and/or e-mail) stored in a centralized messaging store or distributed message stores. In particular, such unified communications systems may transfer unified messages to message stores according to a prescribed open network protocol, for example IMAP protocol via the Internet.
Commonly-assigned, copending application Ser. No. 09/480,485, filed Jan. 11, 2000, entitled Application Server Configured for Dynamically Generating Web Pages for Voice Enabled Web Applications, the disclosure of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference, discloses an application server that executes a voice-enabled web application by runtime execution of extensible markup language (XML) documents that define the voice-enabled web application to be executed. The application server includes a runtime environment that establishes an efficient, high-speed connection to a web server. The application server, in response to receiving a user request from a user, accesses a selected XML page that defines at least a part of the voice application to be executed for the user. The XML page may describe any one of a user interface such as dynamic generation of a menu of options or a prompt for a password, an application logic operation, or a function capability such as generating a function call to an external resource. The application server then parses the XML page, and executes the operation described by the XML page, for example dynamically generating an HTML page having voice application control content, or fetching another XML page to continue application processing. In addition, the application server may access an XML page that stores application state information, enabling the application server to be state-aware relative to the user interaction. Hence, the XML page, which can be written using a conventional editor or word processor, defines the application to be executed by the application server within the runtime environment, enabling voice enabled web applications to be generated and executed without the necessity of programming language environments.
Hence, web programmers can write voice-enabled web applications, using the teachings of the above-incorporated application Ser. No. 09/480,485, by writing XML pages that specify respective voice application operations to be performed. The XML documents have a distinct feature of having tags that allow a web browser (or other software) to identify information as being a specific kind or type of information. Hence, the XML documents define the application to be executed by the application server within the runtime environment, enabling voice enabled web applications to be generated and executed without the necessity of programming language environments.
Hence, open network-based systems such as the commercially-available Cisco uOne system (4.1S) or the system disclosed in application Ser. No. 09/480,485 enable the use of open-network systems such as IMAP message stores, or LDAP directories accessible via an IP-based network such as the Internet, enabling worldwide deployment based on IP-based access protocols.
An important consideration in the deployment of open network-based systems for complex operations, such as unified messaging, is the ability to centrally manage the host computers that communicate amongst each other during execution of these complex operations. In particular, complex voice applications are composed of multiple distinct software components, often executed on separate host computers having a presence on the open network. Each software component requires a separate input configuration file configured for storing configuration attributes for the corresponding software component. Deployment of such complex voice applications on a network results in possibly hundreds of configuration files for the respective software components.
In addition, continued operations of the complex voice applications requires periodic management of the configuration files, including managing deployment specific data, backup and restoration operations, comparison of management information base data between host computers, etc. Consequently, management of these configuration files becomes substantially difficult, especially if certain management operations require that a system administrator access the configuration files locally at the host computer executing the respective software components.
There is a need for an arrangement that enables centralized management of software resources, configured for execution on respective host computers in a open standards protocol network, using a single one of the host computers. In particular, there is a need for an arrangement that enables the single host computer to manage the software resources by use of asynchronous commands that can be sent simultaneously and independently to any selected ones of the host computers.
There also is a need for an arrangement that enables management of a distributed open standards-based computing system, for example a unified messaging system, based on asynchronous communications between host computers and a primary host computer configured for executing a centralized management resource that sends and receives management messages to the host computers.
These and other needs are attained by the present invention, where each host computer in a distributed open standards-based computing system is configured for performing corresponding application operations and includes an open standards interface for sending and receiving configuration management messages according to a web based protocol. Each host computer includes an application resource configured for executing the corresponding application operations, for example initiating a unified messaging session for a unified messaging subscriber, providing text to speech services, providing short message service operations, etc., in response to an application request received from the open standards interface. Each host computer also includes a management resource configured for executing prescribed configuration management operations based on a corresponding received management command from the open standards interface. The received management command may be an application-generated command output by a management server executing a management application for a user, or a host-generated command output by a host computer in response to execution of a corresponding management operation. Hence, the execution of the management resource on each of the host computers in the distributed open standards-based computing system enables deployment of a web based arrangement for managing the host computers, where any host computer can send a request to another host computer during execution of the corresponding management operation, optimizing flexibility within the management arrangement while maintaining scalability of the management operations within the open standards-based computing system.
One aspect of the present invention provides a method in a server configured for providing web based management of host computers in communication via an open protocol network. The method includes first receiving, from a user, a web-based user request requiring execution of a management operation by at least one selected host computer, each host computer having an application resource for executing corresponding application operations and a management resource for executing the management operation. The method also includes first outputting to the at least one selected host computer a web request generated by the server based on executing the web-based user request, the web request specifying a management command for execution of the management operation by the management resource of the at least one selected host computer. The method further includes second receiving from the at least one selected host computer a web response that specifies information based on execution of the management operation, and second outputting to the user a web-based user response based on the web response. The outputting of the web request specifying a management command enables the server to simultaneously manage multiple host computers based on a user request. Hence, multiple host computers in a distributed system can be simultaneously and asynchronously managed, including organization and control of configuration data in each of the host computers, using a web based interface for a user such as a system administrator.
Another aspect of the present invention provides a server configured for providing web based management of host computers in communication via an open protocol network. The server includes a web based interface and an executable application. The web based interface is configured for receiving a web-based user request from a user and outputting a web page, and is also configured for outputting a web request to an identified host computer and receiving a web response from the identified host computer. The executable application is configured for identifying the identified host computer for execution of a management operation, necessary for generating the web page, in response to the web-based user request. The executable application generates within the web request an identifier that specifies execution of the management operation by a management resource within the identified host computer. The executable application also generates the web page based on results of execution of the management operation specified within the web response.
Still another aspect of the present invention provides a system configured for performing distributed computing operations. The system includes a plurality of host computers configured for communication via an Internet protocol (IP) network. Each host computer includes a web interface configured for sending and receiving web requests and web responses, a corresponding application resource configured for performing corresponding application operations, and a management resource. The management resource is configured for executing prescribed management operations in response to respective web requests received by the corresponding web interface. The management resource also is configured for outputting a web response that specifies results of execution of a selected management operation in response to a received web request. One of the host computers includes a web based management server resource as the corresponding application resource. The web based management server resource is configured for generating the web request for execution of the selected management operation by at least one selected host computer in response to reception of a web request from a user. The web based management server resource also is configured for outputting to the user a web-based user response based on the corresponding web response from the at least one selected host computer.
Additional advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned by practice of the invention. The advantages of the present invention may be realized and attained by means of instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Reference is made to the attached drawings, wherein elements having the same reference numeral designations represent like elements throughout and wherein:
Each host computer 12 also includes a web interface 18, and a management resource 20 configured for performing prescribed management operations. In particular, each management resource 20, also referred to as a thin management client, is configured for executing a selected management operation based on receiving a web request (i.e., accepting an HTTP Post operation) from the corresponding HTTP web interface 18 that specifies a management command for execution of the corresponding selected management operation. Upon completion of the selected management operation, the management resource 20 outputs a web response in the form of an HTTP Post that specifies the results of execution of the management operation. If necessary, the management resource 20 may generate its own web request for another management resource 20 executed by a remote host computer 12 to execute its own management operation. Hence, the use of HTTP Post operations between management resources 20 enables communication of management requests between the host computers 12.
The configuration files for each of the host computers 12 are centrally managed by the management user 16 sending user requests to the management server application 14 a. The management server application 14 a is configured for providing a web based management interface for the management user 16 by providing HTML web pages identifying the host computers 12, and the available management operations (e.g., modifying existing configuration files, write/transfer/backup/remove file, status requests, etc.), and generating HTTP requests to selected host computers for execution of selected management operations.
The management server application 14 a is configured for determining the topology of the network 10 based on detecting the presence of the host computers 12 according to their respective host domain addresses. In particular, the management server application 14 a accesses an explorer resource 22 configured for detecting a presence of the host computers 12 on the network 10, for example using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Once the topology of the network has been determined, the management server application 14 a can provide HTML web pages that enable the management user 16 to select management operations that should be performed for a selected host computer 12. The management server application 14 in response sends a request via HTTP protocol for execution of the request by the selected host computer 12. Since the management client 20 receiving the request accepts the request as a Post operation, the management client 20 can accept commands that describe the action to be performed.
Hence, a management user 16 can manage complex configuration data of remote host computers 12 based on the use of a centralized management server application 14 a, and the distributed management resources 20 serving as management clients that execute management operations based on a command language topology by which configuration data can be organized, backup, restored, and/or compared. Moreover, the disclosed arrangement can be used by a management user 16 to perform management evaluations of the network, for example measuring traffic flow patterns by requesting each host computer 12 to report back on load and traffic status, and the like.
The method begins in step 40, where the management user 16 logs into the management server application 14 a by sending a login request 100, causing the management server application 14 a to output an HTML welcome page 102 including top level menu elements. The management user 16 navigates the HTML welcome page 102 and selects an option on the HTML page, causing the browser to send a web-based user request for a configuration list 104 to the management server application 14 a.
In response to receiving in step 42 the web-based user request, for example a request for a configuration list 104, the management server application 14 a invokes in step 44 the explorer resource 22 to obtain topology information on the network 10 by detecting the host computers 12 on the IP network. The management server application 14 a generates in step 46 an HTML page 106 that specifies the detected host computers 12 and the available management operations, enabling the management user 16 to select any one of the host computers 12 (or any grouping thereof) and an associated configuration or management operation, including access and/or manipulation of a configuration file within any one of the host computers 12.
The management user 16 utilizes the browser to send a web based user request 107 that specifies a management operation for a selected host computer 12. The management server application 14 a upon receiving the user request in step 48, generates in step 50 an HTTP Post request 108 including the network address of the selected host computer 12, a management resource identifier for invoking the corresponding management client 20, and the operation request that specifies the management operation to be performed. In particular, the management resource identifier (e.g., RFW) is used to specify that the HTTP Post request 108 is to be executed by the corresponding management resource 20, as opposed to the application logic 14 within the destination host computer 12. Hence, a destination host computer 12 can distinguish management operations from application operations (e.g., generating an HTML page for a voice messaging subscriber 32).
The management server application 14 a outputs the HTTP Post request 108 in step 52 to the selected host computer(s) via the IP network 10, and waits in step 54 for a response 110. Note that the application instance 14 a may actually wait for the response as a persistent application, alternately the management server application 14 a may generate a server side data structure (e.g., a brownie) that identifies the application state and an expected results value to be received as a response from the destination host computer. If desired, a timeout mechanism may also be utilized in step 56 and step 58, although asynchronous events they have a relatively long timeout duration, for example 24 hours. Once the management server application 14 a receives a response 110 in the form of an HTTP Post request from the management client 20, the management server application generates in step 60 an HTML page 112 that notifies the management user 16 of the management operation results. Note that for asynchronous events, the management server application 14 a may notify the management client using a non session based message, for example a notification message using e-mail or SMS, etc.
The HTTP interface 18 of the destination host computer 12 receives the HTTP Post request 108 in step 70 (via paths 30 a, 30 b, or 30 c), and invokes a common Gateway Interface (CGI) that parses the HTTP Post request. If the CGI determines in step 72 that the HTTP Post request 108 specifies an HTML resource identifier, the CGI passes the parameters of the HTTP Post request 108 to the application resource 14 in step 74 for application processing. However if the CGI determines that the HTTP Post request 108 specifies an RFW resource identifier, the CGI passes the parameters of the HTTP Post request 108 to the management resource 20 in step 76.
The management resource 20, upon receiving the parameters of the HTTP Post request 108 that specifies the management operation to be performed, initiates execution of the request management operations in step 78. If the management resource 20 determines in step 80 that additional (secondary) operations need to be executed by an external host 12, for example due to distribute processing, the management resource 20 generates a separate HTTP Post request 108 that specifies the secondary operation request, and outputs the separate HTTP Post request in step 82 using the path 30 c illustrated in
The management resource 20 waits for the results from the external host in step 84, if necessary, and generates in step 86 an HTTP Post request 110 that specifies the results of the execution results to the requester (e.g., the management server application 14 a or any intermediate management client 20 having sent the request).
According to the disclosed embodiment, a centralized server application can communicate requests to multiple hosts asynchronously as separate client requests. As the request and actions are completed, individual status data may be interpreted and translated for end-user evaluation and response. Hence, a management user 16 can locally or remotely manage complex configuration data based on using a central server application 14 a and distributed management clients 20 in conjunction with a command language topology that enables a scalable and sophisticated management of the entire network 10.
While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

suffer the little children—or something like that
And I came upon a blog devoted to caring for infants in Malawi villages. Orphans gathered in an orphanage village called Mzuzu SOS. Children malnourished and alone no longer.
And I came upon a four part expose from 1968 of Pennhurst State School for Mentally Retarded Children. And there were kids in straightjackets, and kids with their hands or feet bound to the bars of their cribs. And children sitting cross-legged on the floor rocking back and forth with rhythmic repetition. And the children, said the narrator, happy to have something positive to say, "are no longer sterilized." Wow.
And I found a movie trailer of the same name that was unwatchable, and I couldn't hit delete fast enough for my own health and safety. And this film was apparently based upon a Stephen King short story of the same name, which was called in one description, "a delicious fright."
And I found a Stephen King disclaimer, stating that 'Suffer the Little Children' had, and I quote, "no redeeming social merit whatever" (King, 1993:801).
And I found a book on the murder of eleven year old Melissa Moody by her uncle, somewhere near Boswell, Oklahoma. And the point being made was that abuse in one generation raises the next generation of abusers. Details provided.
And I found The Smiths lyrics, of the same name, which sounded an awful lot like the case I'd just been reading.
And yes, I found Jesus.
And yes, I've always wanted to say that, if only on the page, or screen or whatever, just for fun to see what it feels like. But in saying it here — I mean it quite literally. I literally found Jesus. Or Jesus' words, anyway.
Which is really finding Matthew, I believe, not Jesus, right? And Mark. And Luke.
The key quote appears to be:
Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. (Mark 10:14)
Which, to my neophyte ears sounds a lot like someone proselytizing young vulnerables and not wanting to be restrained. You know, something Jim Jones would have said. And meant it.
But the website I found this on explained to me that this meant that Jesus loved children.
Ok, fine.
By the time I had spent more Search Function time than I should have on this little puzzle, I reflected on the phone call I had just received.
It wasn't about abuse.
It wasn't about malnourished, orphaned village babies.
It wasn't about psycho-killers.
It wasn't about social merit or the lack thereof.
And it wasn't a Stephen King horror show.
And my not-good phone call gained a 'suffer-the-little-children' context. And I realized that my kids are really alright. And that everyone suffers. And that our children suffer, even without the trauma-drama. And that maybe this phone call wasn't about suffering at all, but about life. And a moment that will pass.
Not earth-shattering.
Not horrifying.
Just a glitch in the matrix, and one that might possibly open new doors. And that maybe (just maybe) this moment is a turning point. And the turn may well lead to a much finer vista than the one being left behind. Or something like that.

The perplexing Biblical passage is just yet another case of lousy translation. This like most other problems in English bibles can be laid at the feet of King James. (The rest are due to the Bible being a pain in the ass of a rat's nest of problematic thorniness, if you ask me.)ReplyDelete
The Oxford Study Bible, which is among the best readily-available scholarly editions, earning the respect of both Jewish and Christian authorities alike, renders Mark 10:13-14 thus:
"They brought children for him to touch. The disciples rebuked them, but when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, 'Let the children come to me; do not try to stop them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
You can compare a raft of English translations here:
And just for fun, here's the Norsk New King James:
"Og de bar små barn til ham for at han skulle røre ved dem; men disiplene truet dem som bar dem. Men da Jesus så det, ble han harm og sa til dem: La de små barn komme til meg, hindre dem ikke! For Guds rike hører slike til."
I do recommend the Oxford Study Bible if you have an interest in this sort of thing. They've done an excellent job of annotating to death the issues that vex translators and interpreters, so that what remains opaque is due to the opacity of the sources rather than the biases and shortcomings of the translators.
oooh, Erin, you got me at the first two lines and my knees began to crumble. What could be more intoxicating than a woman speaking of bad biblical translations, and then handing me a translation in Norsk, of all things! I'm hooked! Biblical translation is exactly my sort of thing — though I tend to stick to re-translating biblical text and prayers myself (see e.g. late October post entitled 'war stories'). I'm okay with Hebrew, less okay with Aramaic and Arabic. But my ancient Greek is for shit, although I studied it as a child.ReplyDelete
The Norsk, by the way, looks downright yummy.
Well, it would appear that Tina was right about us.ReplyDelete
You're way ahead of me on translation skills; I just managed a herd of translators at a software company. I get by with German and Norwegian, I can listen to but rarely generate French, and I have just enough smatterings of Hebrew and Japanese to be dazzled by those who know more. That would be just about everybody.
But you might enjoy my voters' guide:
The Norwegian passage is charming, isn't it? Who can resist small children being called "små barn"?

Do yourself a favor and be sure to watch Rick Brookhiser's documentary on Alexander Hamilton on PBS Monday night. It is clever, illuminating, moving, and profound. I think it's even better than Rick's George Washington documentary, which was extraordinary. Mona wrote her column about it today: "Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton has depth, humor, original techniques, and insight." Michael Knox Beran reviewed it for NR and said "it is not only the most thoughtful, but also the most ingeniously crafted documentary on the life of an American founder I have seen." Don't miss it, and congrats Rick.

woohoo! swatching is over and actual garment knitting has begun on my gigi!! thank god, i don't think i could take much more of that swatching- i think my final count was around 15 knitted, washed and measured swatches! and don't tell anybody but.... i still didn't make gauge!! i was almost exact on the stitch gauge, but almost an inch off the row gauge. i wouldn't normally be okay with that but i read the pattern thoroughly and didn't see anything that called for a specific number of rows to be knit- it's mostly "continue until piece measures 5 inches*. but if i run into a problem, i'll just recalculate the length based on my gauge.
the cover up is knit from the bottom up and is made up of pretty simple shapes. the back is knit first, followed by the two fronts. i'm pretty happy with the knitting so far. it's very easy to separate the strands of the yarn while knitting it, but i swatched so much that i'm used to it! it still happens, but i pay more attention to make sure that it doesn't. my only other gripe with the yarn is that it has way too many knots in it! it's so annoying to find a knot in the yarn on something with such long rows that you have to rip out an entire row to take the knot out!
the 2x2 ribbing at the bottom of the cardigan is really nice in the bamboo yarn. even though the fabric is pretty open and drapey in stockinette stitch, the ribbing is a nice medium weight and still extremely stretchy!
some strange knitting phenomenon did happen above the ribbing though. i'm still at a loss, but i think it had more to do with the yarn than the knitting. there's an elevated band about an inch and half tall across the entire back.... and it looks king of ugly. not only does it look like an entirely different gauge than the rest of it, but the yarn looks kind of gnarly! like a cat chewed it up or something!! and i don't have any cats. i'm pretty mad about this and i contemplated ripping it out, but i was too far along when i noticed it, so i kept on going. my fingers are crossed that it comes out in the washing and blocking. but even if it doesn't, i'll still love it. after all, that's what makes a misfit knit!
unfortunately, this piece is creeping along at a snail's pace. the rows are so long and i had to go up a size since my measurements weren't included in the pattern- making the rows even longer!! oh well. my patience hasn't run out yet, so i'm just trying to stay positive. and since all the separate pieces are knit flat, i'm able to get more practice on my knitting backwards! when i started knitting i was doing the standard "knit one row, purl one row" but when i got to the stockinette portion, i got bored very quickly. so i decided i'd knit a few rows using the knitting backwards and if i saw any changes in my gauge i'd just them. i was quite shocked that my knitting only changed in one way- the over-all fabric was noticeably more even and smooth!! so i'll continue to use it for the rest of my pieces and probably for everything in the future.
on a completely different note- i'd like to announce that after an inexcusable amount of time i have a finished object to share- 2 swiffer cloths! isn't it pathetic how rare that is for me?!?! if only knitting was my full time job! these pictures were taken right after i finished knitting the second one, so there are still ends to be woven and buttons to sew on, but you get the idea!
i knit the cloth on the left first to test out the pattern. *which is why it was knit with left overs.... that didn't exactly match!*
if you'd like to knit one of these for yourself, i have made a few notes that will help you out! *for those of you who aren't interested in the pattern details, you probably won't enjoy reading this!!* you can find the pattern on this page, but be warned: the link for the stitch pattern on her blog is out of date!! the instructions i used can be found here (also note: this is a link to a pattern for a dish cloth, but you cast on the same number of stitches and follow the entire pattern for you swiffer cloth). once you've done 3 repeats of the textured slip stitch, refer back to green mountain mama's pattern and the directions are crystal clear from there!
and last but not least, i've been going through a painful spinning drought lately!! it's not like i don't have anything fiber to spin, it's just that i like to have a rough idea of what i'm going to spin before i start and once i start spinning, if the direction changes and the fiber wants to do something else, i'll let it, but i don't just randomly grab fiber and start spinning. but lately, i don't even have any "rough" ideas coming through! BUT, on it's way to my doorstep is a box of unknown fiber in an unknown quantity for commission spinning. so please please please send some creative vibes my way!! i'm imagining that it will happen something like this: *the box arrives and upon opening i am instantly struck with inspiration by all the beautiful fibers and colors and head straight to my wheel!!*. but how it plays out in my imagination is not how it usually happens in real life!

HTC's Jason Mackenzie Talks Business And Gaining Back Market Share
HTC just doesn't know when to give up, and that's a good thing. Despite having had a rocky past couple years in the wireless industry with low sales and even lower profit, they seem hell bent on continuing to deliver and innovate. Today on CNBC's Fast Money, Jason Mackenzie(President of HTC America)gave a small speech about some of the hot topics surrounding the Taiwanese manufacturer as of late. One such topic was in regards to the leaks that have recently taken place over the companies upcoming new flagship handset, although he didn't really cover that topic much. All he said was that they never comment on rumors or speculation.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
One thing that Mackenzie was sure to mention though was how HTC is aware of the fact that they have lost market share in the smartphone industry. They know that they have let many of their probably once loyal customers slip through their fingers. The good news is that HTC has apparently realized their mistakes and will do all that they can to get back some of the market that they have lost. At one point during the conversatin Jason Mackenzie even refers to the competition as being like a Timex watch,(hey there's nothing wrong with a good Timex, we all grew up with them) while stating that HTC and HTC products resemble more of a Rolex. It's no doubt that HTC makes great products with beautiful design and stellar build quality, I don't think we would go so far as to make that kind of jump though.
Mackenzie also points out that HTC understands how customers feel about their products. That they appreciate fine build quality, and love new and innovative devices with a great design. If HTC continues to make devices like the HTC One, they probably won't have much trouble getting back some of the market share that they've lost over the years. They just need to implement and execute plans to attack that loss properly. They're off to a good start so far this year we'd say, with the device that they're scheduled to unveil in the next few weeks and launch next month, but time will tell how much it actually helps. HTC is committed to making their next flagship a big success, so here's to hoping they succeed in doing so.

The 1st Annual Chowder Challenge for Children is a challenge to determine who makes the best chowder in North Florida with all proceeds raised benefiting the Shriners Hospital for Children. There will be up to 30 restaurants and/or groups participating. The Chowder Challenge features four categories of Chowder: New England, Minorcan Conch, Seafood, and Minorcan Clam (a St. Augustine favorite).
A panel of judges will consist of individuals chosen by the Chowder Challenge sponsors, as well as local dignitaries and culinary food experts. They'll judge each category as to a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner and then each of these winners will be announced and presented an award in each category of chowder. There will also be a People's Choice Award, which allows all attendees to fill out a ballot for their favorite participating restaurant.
Proceeds for the Shriners Hospital for Children are raised by purchasing $1 tickets for a sample of Chowder, as well as from the sale of beer, wine, mixed drinks, soda, water, hot dogs and chips. Our Masonic Youth Program – The Rainbow Girls – will be selling the hot dogs, soda, water and chips.
The Chowder Challenges runs until 4pm with the band and DJ performing until 5pm.

In previous editions of Pensions Pieces (July 2013 and October 2014), we explained how HMRC's approach on transfers of DB benefits from one scheme to another meant that annual allowance charges could arise for members, even where their pension entitlements pre- and post- transfer did not differ. After a long wait, regulations to resolve this issue (and to make certain other changes in relation to the annual allowance) came into force, on 28 January 2015. The change to the annual allowance calculation on mergers has retrospective effect back to April 2011, so members will not be at risk as a result of mergers that have already taken place.
By way of reminder, the issue broadly stemmed from HMRC's practice of assessing (i) the value of the assets transferred from the transferring scheme, compared with (ii) the value of the benefits to be provided for the member in the receiving scheme. If the benefits were greater than the assets (which would be the case in a merger where the transferring scheme had an ongoing deficit), then HMRC's approach was to treat the difference as a pension input for individual member's tax purposes, which could give rise to an annual allowance charge for the transferring individuals.
Under the new regulations, a merger will not give rise to pension inputs for the purpose of the annual allowance where the value of the members' benefits in the receiving scheme is "equal (or virtually equal)" to the value of the benefits given up in the transferring scheme. It remains to be seen what is meant by "virtually equal", but this is sufficient to give comfort where exactly the same benefits are being provided.
A number of employers and trustees have been postponing scheme mergers to avoid any risk of members being subject to annual allowance charges as a result of a transfer from an underfunded scheme. They can now proceed without worry, provided that exact mirror image benefits are provided in the receiving scheme.

Curry Courier
Curry Courier is a side quest in Etrian Odyssey IV that can be obtained at the Dancing Peacock.
EditQuest Information
My husband forgot to grab his lunch when he went to the Cramped Nest this morning. Would somebody take it to him?
Kirtida dialogue:
"That request was just posted. The client wishes to send her husband a handmade lunch. It seems that husband is quite careless and forgot to take the client's lunch with him to work. His name is...let's see here...Aldis, and he is a soldier posted in the Cramped Nest. At this rate, he will have to go without lunch. I am counting on you to make sure that does not happen."
The Cramped Nest is located in Sacred Mountains (the third [[Lands|land] or "stratum") in square C-1. Once you enter, you will get the following dialogue:
As you step into the labyrinth with the lunchbox in hand, a soldier approaches...
"Ho there. We're investigating this labyrinth right now. Do you need something from our squad?"
When you inform him that you are here to deliver a solider's lunch, he laughs before answering.
"That might be a problem. Our squad all has similar names...Who are you trying to find?"
The soldier mentions four possible candidates.
Albert, Alistair, Aldis, Alfred
"Aldis is...Hmm. Going by your map, he should be around area B-3."
"Funny that we all have similar names, isn't it? In the city they call us Team A. Though my name is Ben..."
With that, the soldier returns to his position. You head into the labyrinth in search of your soldier.
Aldis is in area B-3 in the bottom right corner. If you want a path, just watch where the Patrol Bats fly, they will show you where you can go through those walls with the crevice.
You are exploring the labyrinth when you spot a soldier squatting near a wall.
"That smell!" he exclaims. "Is that my dear Claudia's cooking? I thought I forgot it in this morning...How!?" "I must be hallucinating...Oh, no...I'm going to die. Damn it...I'm sorry, Dia..."
You wordlessly thrust the lunchbox out to the solider at he stares glassily into space. All of a sudden, the soldier regains his wits as he snatches the lunchbox from you and shovels the food down.
"Wow, I literally came back to life! Man, that hit the spot! Oh...hey, did you need something?"
You do not even need to ask...This man is clearly Aldis. It is hard to believe, but the request is now complete and you have a report to make. you quietly walk away...
Return to the Dancing Peacock in Tharsis.
Kirtida dialogue:
"Ah, welcome back. Did everything go smoothly? Did you have any trouble due to the similarly named soliders? Ahaha...There are some interesting squads in our military. Perhaps it was the Outland Count's work...You know how he can be. 'Anything goes, so long as it's interesting.' That aside, I again thank you for your hard work. Here is your reward, and I hope to have your help next time."

My fiancé and I are looking to book our honeymoon the end of June (2013). We are looking to the Caribbean but I'm a bit overwhelmed with the choices for both islands and resorts. We have been to Jamaica before and I loved it. Stayed at an AI (Secrets Wild Orchid). Loved everything about Jamaica but obviously looking to go somewhere new. Would like to stay away from Mexico and Dominican. Open to both all inclusive options and not AI.
We are beach people. While it is our honeymoon, we'd like a nice mix of relaxing on the beach, doing a few day trips….maybe charter a boat for the day, explore the island. A decent nightlife would be a plus but not a necessity. (Similar to Jamaica)
Any suggestions you can provide would be good. Would like to keep everything when all said and done around $7k - $8k.

Honeymoon Help in June
My fiancé and I are looking to book our honeymoon the end of June (2013). We are looking to the Caribbean but I'm a bit overwhelmed with the choices for both islands and resorts.

With that budget, I would rent a nice private villa on St John. Rent a jeep, and explore different beaches every day. The town of Cruz bay has some nightlife and some very good dining options. The island is very safe to go off exploring on your own.
The Villa will give you the privacy you'd want for a honeymoon. The budget you have will allow for a great villa with a killer ocean view, private pool...the works. I can't say enough about St John....Stunning magazine cover beaches that are uncrowded, great food, safe, and the private villa will give you guys a honeymoon to remember. Good luck.
Report Abuse
You will only find AI resorts like Secrets in Jamaica, the DR and Mexico. You have an excellant budget and can probably go just about anywhere.
If you liked the topography of Jamaica, look at St. Lucia. There are some AI resorts there, but they are not as lux as Secrets. St. Lucia is also way more expensive than Jamaica, but you have the budget for it. Beaches will not be as nice with the white sand.
Look at Turks and Caicos. The Veranda is AI, but very expensive and nothing like Secrets. Grace Bay Beach is absolutely gorgeous and there are excellant water activites. Night life not so much.
Too bad you excluded Mexico from your criteria. If you loved Jamaica and Secrets, Mexico is a logical option. We've been going for the past 12 years and just booked again for December.
Maybe if you could be more specific about what you are looking for in a honeymoon/destination, we can give better suggestions. With such limited information, you'll probably only get people's favorite destinations and not necessary what you are looking for.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the help so far...Let me go into a little more detail of what we are looking for in a honeymoon… (also...just to point out...we are both 30...if that matters)....
- 10 days. Flying out of Boston.
- Beautiful beaches
- More upscale/luxury resort
- Option to just sit on the beach and relax OR do a few different activities…where its exploring the island, chartering a boat, snorkeling.
- One thing I loved about Jamaica was the people…they were SO nice…loved Reggae music and the "island vibe"
- Good Food
While it is our honeymoon, I don't want to be THAT secluded. I want the option to either relax by the beach or on our balcony with my new husband….OR be able to go to the bar on the resort or somewhere on the island and meet other people…looking for a nice mix.
I want to try and go somewhere that I may not get the chance to go to again (make it a little more special since its our honeymoon). We were originally trying for Hawaii but due to time constraints, we couldn't make it work since we only had 10 days….at a minimum, would want 2 full weeks for Hawaii since we are on the East Coast and travel time.
Would consider breaking up the trip into maybe 2 different islands if it makes sense. Something like Anguilla and St Marteen. Totally open to suggestions!!!!
Report Abuse
Based on your requests...
Caneel Bay St John....luxury resort directly on some of the most beautiful beaches in St John. It can be private, or you can mingle with other guests. I had dinner there and thought the property was amazing, beaches incredible.
I would also consider Frangipani Beach Resort on Anguilla. Very upscale, right on the beach, and the dining option on Anguilla are some of the best in the Caribbean.
You mentioned you liked the friendliness of Jamaica...I think you will find that on both my suggestions.

You can consider Curaçao. There is a new complex that will open this December which looks very nice. It is called Piscadera Harbour Village and they will offer condominium apartment rentals on Piscadera Bay, Curaçao. They will be full suites. http://www.piscaderaharbourvillage.com

With your budget,I can recommend Aruba, Bucuti Tara suites very nice penthouse adult only resort it's right on the beach. Went on my honeymoon last year, Had the best time of my life can't wait to go back. for more info go to www.Aruba.com or www.bucuti.com and best of luck.

CyberGhost Review - UPDATED Nov. 2017
CyberGhost is a serious contender in the world of VPN providers. It is also one of the rare VPN providers that offers a free version of its VPN with unlimited bandwidth – although it does have more than a few drawbacks. The paid version has numerous features and provides great security and speeds. Moreover, the VPN client is rather easy to use. Basically, as you will see in our CyberGhost review, there's almost nothing not to like about CyberGhost.
Even first-time VPN users will quickly understand how to use CyberGhost and what it can offer its customers. Installing the client is simple and doesn't take more than a few minutes. When you open the client, you first have to choose the purpose of using a VPN, including torrenting, wi-fi protection, anonymous surfing, etc. You can also select their custom setting where you will find the menu with options to log in, activate a new key or upgrade your current account. You can choose a region and IP address to connect to. There are advanced settings too.
Performance and Reliability
Like with most VPNs, your speed will suffer a bit. However, this has nothing to do with CyberGhost. It is completely normal to experience somewhat slower speeds while using a VPN than when accessing the Internet without one.
Of course, premium members will have much better speeds, but that doesn't mean that free members will have lousy speeds; on the contrary, from what we've seen, CyberGhost has put a great deal of effort to provide decent speeds to clients not paying for their services.
CyberGhost is also pretty reliable and rarely disconnects. You will also be happy to know that they provide an Internet kill switch that shuts off all your Internet traffic in case something unexpected happens.
CyberGhost supports all major operating systems, including Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, and iOS, which is pretty much the norm in the VPN game nowadays.
CyberGhost has what can best be described as a moderate network. Not the widest in the world, but definitely not the smallest one either. It has more than 600 servers in 29 different countries of the world. Some more popular countries have multiple servers. For example, the United States has as many as 111 servers, the UK hosts 55 and there are 66 servers in the Netherlands. All paid users can choose to connect to whatever server they like, in any location they want, with unlimited data. This gives them plenty of flexibility, especially while traveling.
As for the encryption protocols, CyberGhost uses OpenVPN, which is considered by many to be the most secure protocol in this moment. In addition, you can also opt for PPTP, which is pretty fast but not as secure as OpenVPN, and there is also L2TP with IPsec. This is a very good choice of protocols and prospective users will be happy to learn that switching between them is relatively easy and quick, which means you don't have to commit yourself to just one protocol.
The company uses military-grade 256-bit encryption, which is currently the strongest on the market.
CyberGhost offers another interesting feature and that is the possibility to pick and set preferred Wi-Fi connections and add them to your protected list. Once you do this, every time you connect to them, they will automatically run through the VPN and you will be secure.
The CyberGhost client gives you instant feedback regarding your IP address (the assigned one), server location, malware, ads and online tracking. This gives you a lot of control over what is going on with your connection and it is also very convenient because all this information is stored in one place, easily accessible with just one click.
This provider offers some extra features that are rarely seen in other VPN services. This includes an ad-blocker, anti-tracking, malware blocker, DNS leak protection, IP sharing, hidden IP and IPv6 leak protection.
All packages include unlimited bandwidth and an antifingerprinting system.
Whether you are a free or paid user, you will get a free custom client for Windows, Mac, and Android. Paid customers also get VPN mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android mobile devices.
Security and Privacy
CyberGhost uses the 256-bit AES encryption over OpenVPN and as mentioned previously in this CyberGhost review, L2TP with IPsec and PPTP are available. However, the setup process for those two is somewhat complex for new users. The good thing is that the setup is perfectly explained in the knowledge base if you are willing to take the time to read the instructions.
CyberGhost offers excellent user privacy. It doesn't observe, track, record or keep any logs of your personal information or activities. They are very transparent when it comes to privacy matters, which is not that common among VPN providers.
In case you have any trouble installing the client or can't find the information you need, you have the option to contact customer support via a support ticket. They also have live chat, but it is only available during eastern European working hours. Most VPN providers offer 24/7 customer support, so this is definitely a drawback. On the other hand, the customer service reps we have talked to while researching for this CyberGhost review have been friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
CyberGhost also offers an extensive knowledge base that contains the answers to the most common questions, as well as various manuals. Another negative is that there is no peer support as CyberGhost decided to close down its forum at the end of 2014.
Pricing Options
You can opt for the free service, which is pretty decent. If you want to pay for a premium service, you can get a risk-free 30-day trial to check it out. The premium plan, which covers one device, costs $2.91 per month if billed annually. If billed monthly, it will cost you $6.99 per month. You get speeds up to five times faster and you have access to more than 600 servers in 29 countries. You can also sign up for a premium plus package, which costs $4.58 a month if billed annually. If billed monthly, this plan costs $10.99 per month. This gives you all the same features, but you get to use their service on 5 devices simultaneously.
- The free service is good
- Servers speeds are fast
- The premium plan is excellent
- Strong encryption
- Easy-to-use client
- The premium plan covers just one device
- Some servers can be very slow
- Live chat doesn't work 24/7

The gene pool in the lab includes the entire range of varieties that appear in the catalog, together with the candidate varieties of the various crops for the coming seasons. The vegetative "bank" enables both the storage of material that is clean of diseases and pests and the maintenance of the young plants.
Danziger deals with both conventional and highly sophisticated technologies - such as Genetic Engineering in breeding varieties. The company also implements co-research projects together with the Agriculture Faculty at the Hebrew University and the Volcani Institute.
Danziger as a leading breeder of Gypsophila in particular (as well as other cut flowers) and a vast number of bedding plants and perennials takes utmost care of the varieties they breed; register them as patent varieties and grant licenses for propagating, growing, marketing and distributing their varieties around the world.
The company has gained vast knowledge and experience in all fields related to intellectual property matters:
As a leading breeder in ornamental plants, Danziger regards much significance to the entire matter of protecting intellectual property in general, and their assets (the patent varieties) in particular. Danziger has even led some very important legal procedures and precedents in the matter of breeders' rights, and specifically in the matter of derived varieties.
To mention a few important verdicts and precedents in the matter of derived varieties:
The verdict on the Mor varieties' case in Israel
The verdict on the Blancanieves' case in Israel
The verdict on the Bambino case in Holland
Danziger is also a member in the international breeders' organization CIOPORA, an organization that represents breeders from all over the world in all matters concerning protection of intellectual property and enforcing their rights. Danziger acts in cooperation with CIOPORA and with other additional breeders in the world in order to increase awareness and perception of intellectual property rights in the entire industry.
Danziger, as also other many breeders in the industry, believes that respecting intellectual property rights does not only concern breeders but also the entire trade.
The entire industry has a clear economical interest in effective protection of intellectual property rights and their enforcement. The entire trade shall benefit when new improved, advanced and innovative varieties that answer the changing needs of the customer (shape, color, scent, taste, and shelf-life) or the growers' needs (susceptibility to pests, and tolerance to various weather conditions and etc.) enter the market.
New varieties are a source for growth and increment of profits, they offer a wider choice to the customers and to the entire industry, create new and bigger demand, and usually urge higher prices in the market.
Danziger's main ambition as a breeder is to create innovative varieties. Nevertheless, to invest in breeding many resources, advanced technologies, time, money and know-how are required and the royalties paid to the breeder are not only a way to return the breeder's investment, but also an assurance to the entire trade to keep investing in breeding and creating more interesting and beautiful novelties for our industry.

Prince's former drummer BOBBY Z is fighting for his life after suffering a massive heart attack.
The former Revolution star, real name Robert Rivkin, is in critical condition after collapsing last weekend (29-30Jan11), according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Doctors have been able to clear two of three blocked arteries and they are currently waiting for the 55 year old to regain some strength before continuing treatment.
His son Adam tells the newspaper, "They wanted him to get stronger in order to go through the final phase and take care of the third one.
"He's in critical condition and resting. He needs to build his strength so his heart can work on its own."
Rivkin was Prince's original drummer in the Revolution. He was replaced in the band by Sheila E.

It wasn't mentioned much in the afternoon yesterday, but the media did notice Calvin Johnson wasn't practicing for the Detroit Lions. At first, this seemed like no big deal. Last year, Johnson was regularly given a day off during the week where he attended practice, but did not dress or actively practice. There were a few whispers going around, asking where Johnson was. But then there weren't any ready answers coming forth.
Until later in the afternoon. Johnson was listed as having a foot injury. What? He didn't get hurt in the game, or at least not an injury that stopped the game and fans witnessed. Did he get hurt in practice? What happened?
The MADDEN Curse? Ack! It's time to go running for the hills and screaming if you are a Lions fans. Really? Is Johnson injured?
The Lions head office is only stating he has a foot injury and nothing else. There are no details on what type of injury or how severe it is. Will he practice on Thursday? Will he be able to play on Sunday?
Stay tuned…more will be known once the media is allowed in to the afternoon session of practice on Thursday. And you can guarantee there will be a lot more media paying attention to see if he is dressed and actively practicing. Without Johnson in the lineup, it could weaken the scoring possibilities of the offense. And the offense needs every bit of help it can receive against a very powerful San Francisco 49ers team, especially if they want to prove themselves to be worthy of a playoff spot this season.
Is the Madden Curse for real? The 49ers will be very interested to find out some answers too…

Jeers as US swimmers leave Brazil after robbery row as US apologises for unacceptable behaviour
Two US swimmers left Brazil after testifying about the robbery claims made by their team-mate Ryan Lochte that have caused outrage in Rio.
US swimmer
Brazilians chanted "liar" as Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger left the police building after a judge lifted an order seizing their passports, allowing them to check in at the airport.
"They did not lie in their statements. They never lied to journalists. They only stayed quiet. They did not know what was going on," lawyer Sergio Riera said.
Read More: US swimmer Ryan Lochte indicted for false reporting of a crime
Olympic swimmer James Feigen will pay 35,000 Brazilian reals ($10,200) and then leave Brazil following the robbery scandal, his lawyer said.
Breno Melaragno said that, under an agreement reached with a Brazilian judge, Feigen will donate the money to an "institution" and depart.
Mr Melaragno did not specify where the money will go, but the term "institution" can be taken to mean charity.
The lawyer said under Brazilian law, a donation can be made to avoid criminal prosecution for minor offences, but did not say what charge was being contemplated against Feigen.
Feigen's team-mates Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger left Brazil on Thursday night after giving information to police.
Brazilian police said Lochte and his three team-mates were not robbed after a night of partying, and the intoxicated athletes instead vandalised a petrol station toilet and were questioned by armed guards before they paid for the damage and left.
The robbery claim has become the biggest spectacle outside of the Olympic venues in Rio, casting a shadow over American athletes amid an otherwise remarkable run at the Summer Games.
It was also a blow to Brazilians, who for months endured scrutiny about whether the city could keep athletes and tourists safe given its long history of violence.
"No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed," Civil Police Chief Fernando Veloso said.
The police account came in direct contrast to claims from Lochte's lawyer Jeff Ostrow earlier in the week.
He had insisted the swimmer had nothing to gain by making the story up.
Though police appear mostly finished with their probe, the case is far from settled.
Police have said they are considering charges of falsely reporting a crime and destruction of property, both of which can carry up to six months in jail or a fine.
Lochte and his team-mates could face sanctions from USA Swimming, including fines or suspension. The group, as well as Olympic officials, publicly expressed disappointment and said they would further examine the matter.
"We apologise to our hosts in Rio and the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of what should rightly be a celebration of excellence," the US Olympic Committee said.
The saga began when Lochte said that he and Conger, Bentz and Feigen were held at gunpoint and robbed several hours after the last Olympic swimming races ended.
That claim began to unravel when police said investigators could not find evidence to substantiate it.
Then, security video reviewed by police confirmed the athletes vandalised parts of the petrol station, leading to an encounter with people working there.
The video shows one of the swimmers pulling a sign from a wall and dropping it on the ground. A petrol station worker arrives, and other employees inspect the damage. Mr Veloso said the swimmers broke a door, a soap dispenser and a mirror.
The swimmers eventually talk with workers and their taxi leaves. In another sequence, the swimmers appear to briefly raise their hands while talking to someone and sit down.
After a few minutes, the swimmers stand up and appear to exchange something - perhaps cash, as police said - with one of the men.
The footage does not show a weapon, but a police official said two guards pointed guns at the swimmers.
Mr Veloso said the guards did not use excessive force and would have been justified in drawing their weapons because the athletes "were conducting themselves in a violent way".
Police said the swimmers had been unable to provide key details in early interviews, saying they had been intoxicated.
Officers grew suspicious when security video showed the swimmers returning to the athletes' village wearing watches, which would have probably been taken in a robbery.
Bentz and Conger told police that they felt Lochte had lied about the situation in media interviews, according to text of the statements released by Rio police.
"We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over," Lochte told NBC television the morning after the incident.
"They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground - they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn't do anything wrong, so - I'm not getting down on the ground.
"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said 'get down' and I put my hands up, I was like 'whatever'. He took our money, he took my wallet - he left my cellphone, he left my credentials."

MPs say environmental conditions must be met for third Heathrow runway
Final approval for a third runway at Heathrow should not be granted until the airport demonstrates it can meet key environmental conditions on climate change, air quality and noise, a committee of MPs has said.
The Davies Commission recommended the construction of the controversial third runway in a report in July, but the Government has not yet made clear whether it will give the scheme the go-ahead. Ministers have promised to announce their decision by the end of this year.
In a new report, the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee warned that a failure to deal with environmental concerns could lay the scheme open to legal challenge.
The cross-party committee called on Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin to offer assurances that all environmental conditions will be met before Parliament's approval is sought for the expansion of the west London airport.
Committee chairman Huw Irranca-Davies said: "To defer dealing with the environmental impact of a third runway would be irresponsible and could lead to legal challenges as a result of the potential damage to public health from increased air pollution and noise.
"If the Government decides to accept the Commission's recommendation for a third runway in principle, we will seek assurances from the Secretary of State for Transport that environmental conditions will be met before it is given final approval."
The MPs said that the airport must demonstrate that it can reconcile Heathrow expansion with legal air pollution limits, as well as committing to a night-flight ban and to covering the cost of improved transport links and showing that an expanded airport will be less noisy than one with two runways.
"The Government has a duty to reduce illegal levels of air pollution in London to protect the health and well-being of its population," said Mr Irranca-Davies.
"The communities living near to the roads around Heathrow already put up with noise and extra traffic, it would be quite unacceptable to subject them to a potentially significant deterioration in air quality as well. Increased pollution should certainly not be permitted on the grounds that other areas of London are even more polluted."
The Government should put in place a strategy to deliver carbon emissions from aviation no higher than 2005 levels by 2050, in line with the economy-wide target set by the Climate Change Act, said the report
"Even without expansion, aviation is on track to exceed its climate change target. We heard evidence that those targets might be met in theory, but at present there is a policy vacuum and evidence-based scepticism as to whether they can be met in practice," said Mr Irranca-Davies.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "This report is yet another nail in the coffin of Heathrow expansion. It is clear this project is undeliverable - on noise, on air quality, on costs - it fails every test.
"For more than 40 years the British public have endured a pilgrimage of pain over Heathrow. It's time to draw stumps. We need to think bigger and better.
"Heathrow expansion is a sham, a snare and a delusion, and it will not happen. The Prime Minister was right when he said 'no ifs, no buts, no third runway'.
"That was the policy, it remains the policy - and a very good policy it is too."
A spokesman for Heathrow said the EAC was "absolutely right" that the environmental impact of a third runway must be considered alongside the economic benefits, and insisted that its plan for expansion will result in a quieter airport with better public transport and improved air quality.
He added: " There is no obstacle to the Government announcing their support for the independent expert commission's unambiguous and unanimous recommendation to expand Heathrow."
Heathrow has previously expressed a commitment to increase the amount of time each night without any scheduled flights but said the start and finish time of a night flight ban should be decided by the Government through consultation with the local community.
But Gatwick Airport, which also wants to expand, claimed the EAC report demonstrates the "overwhelming environmental obstacles" faced by Heathrow.
The airport's chief executive, Stewart Wingate, said: " This is a highly significant intervention by the Environment Audit Committee just days before the Government is due to make its decision on airport expansion.
"The committee questions the entire legal basis of the Airports Commission report on air quality and highlights the many other environmental hurdles facing Heathrow expansion.
"It is increasingly clear only expansion at Gatwick is legal and can actually happen."

What Does Trump Victory Mean for World, Russia?
THE ACTOR'S TRIUMPH: WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE U.S. PRESIDENT-ELECT. (By Andrei Movchan, director of the Economic Policy Program at the Carnegie Moscow Center. Republic.ru [formerly Slon.ru], Nov. 9, 2016, https://republic.ru/posts/75 969. Complete text:) The morning after the US election, described by some as the second 9/11 (after all, it is the 9th of November [according to the Russian system for writing dates - Trans.]), is an excellent illustration of the difference between the probable and the possible. An improbable event happened: The new president is a Presbyterian (of course, the great Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower and Theodore Roosevelt were Presbyterians too, but [Donald] Trump is the first Presbyterian president in 32 years); a businessman (Trump is the second businessman-turned-presidential candidate in US history, and the first businessman to be elected president) who specializes in gambling, beauty pageants, wrestling and real estate (all these industries have questionable reputations in the US); a man who has had serious problems with the IRS and went bankrupt a few times (as we know from "The Simpsons"); [a man] thrice married and twice nominated for an Emmy; a man who has repeatedly sold his name as a brand to various businesses; the author of what some would describe as a brilliant business plan of suing a bank because its demand to repay a loan hurts his business reputation; a TV host; a man whose jokes are often outright offensive; a man who openly disrespects American norms of behavior, tolerance and gender equality; and a harsh critic of NATO, free trade, confrontation with Russia and international efforts to combat climate change.
The people who voted for Trump were older and mostly male (53% of male voters voted for Trump and only 41% did for [Hillary] Clinton; among women, Clinton led with 54% while Trump was at 42%). Wealthier Americans ...
