Children need to run free
We live in an era where children lack frequent and unfettered exposure to wild places where they can play freely without an adult at their elbow.
Of course, times have changed along with pressures and expectations on parents to keep their children safe. However, unfortunately this lack of exposure to risk can be detrimental to a child's development as they come to rely on their parent looking out for them, rather than learning to assess and interact with risky situations by themselves.
Outdoor play encourages imagination
When children play outdoors they develop intelligence all by themselves, responding to the challenges they encounter in ways that just don't happen when they play indoors. The outdoors provides simple but effective lessons in risk assessment and management. Playing in a wild woodland requires development of greater awareness of how to negotiate the environment; for example, running through the woodland, head up and looking forwards generally results in a fall and a lesson quickly learned.
Family Session - Saturday 9th June
Learning risk management was the stuff my generation learned naturally as part of growing up. I have learned not to be astonished by the fact that many of the children who attend our woodland sessions lack the basic skills for negotiating a woodland, even though their parents take them regularly to local wooded country parks. Why? Because the children run and play along carefully managed paths that run 'through' the wild areas!
Playing outdoors is liberating
When playing outdoors the physical play area isn't confined by walls and a ceiling, in itself providing a liberating and inspirational environment that inspires the imagination through engaging the senses of sight, sounds, smell and touch in ways that are just not available indoors.
When interacting with others, in an outdoor environment, children have the physical space to be able to advance and withdraw from encounters with others at their own pace, reducing potential conflicts. Through allowing children to 'work things out', we are helping them develop emotional intelligence, communication skills, assertiveness and co-operation; all skills that are important to acquire for adult life. In my experience, playing outdoors generally brings out the best in children, when it comes to them developing 'emotional intelligence' relating to the needs of others.
Nature deficit disorder
The importance of children taking risks through playing outdoors is now widely advocated.
The term nature deficit disorder was coined by Richard Louv who extols the value of children playing outdoors, to combat attention difficulties, obesity, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and diminishing of use of the senses. Put in those terms, the case for getting the kids outdoors is more should be more than just considered a subject of discussion, but one of of necessity.
Next Family activity session - 9th June
Getting away from computers
Free play outdoors has no script and promotes use of imagination. If there is no computer game nearby children will generally fairly quickly find something else to engage with, if given a few prompts and a few props to start them off. In my experience children are essentially creative beings who will, with a little prompting, become as engaged in a game outdoors as they ever are indoors in front of a screen.
Outdoor play builds self confidence and self esteem
Playing outdoors, whether children or adults, helps with holistic development through reducing stress levels, enhancing mental relaxation, and improving physical fitness. Being able to engage in free play outdoors can also help children develop their self confidence and self-esteem through having opportunity to choose and 'do it myself'.Free play outdoors is about learning by doing, getting it wrong and trying again.
The lack of goals or expectations of success when playing outdoors can be really help build the confidence and self-esteem of children, providing them with space to think, to imagine and just experience the simple pleasures of play, delivering joy. The sensations of the wind in their hair, the rain on their faces and the sensory experiences of playing in nature does more than stimulate the brain, it feeds the soul.

Here's What's Happening With the Milton University
It came as a shock to many when the Ford government announced back in October of 2018 that the funding for major university expansions in Halton, Peel, and Markham had been cancelled.
This cancellation impacted the Wilfrid Laurier University campus expansion, in partnership with Conestoga College, in Milton.
However, in a press release from the town of Milton, it was made clear that Laurier plans to move forward with their intent to build a campus in the Milton Education Village (MEV).
A representative from Laurier provided an update to Milton Council on Jan. 21, 2019.
This update outlined the university's plans to move forward.
Since the initial cancellation announcement in October, Laurier has been working with both private sector investors and community partners to pursue alternative financial support to make the Milton campus a reality.
"We are all ready to move forward, Laurier is not going away," Milton Mayor Gord Krantz said in the press release.
"They are already here and growing in our community."
With the strong support of Milton Economic Development, Laurier has become an important strategic partner in the highly successful MEV Innovation Centre. Laurier has had both classroom and administrative office space in the building for the last several years which has allowed the university to offer some local programing, collaborate with local businesses, and engage with the community.
Along with preparing a business case for the province, Laurier has developed a two-phased approach to bring its Milton campus to life.
Phase one is already underway, and consists of Laurier preparing to bring a mix of degree and non-degree programming to the Milton community in the winter of 2020 with classes located at the MEV Innovation Centre.
Phase two, according to the press release, will consist of the development of the MEV lands, as well as a full campus master plan and architectural design developed by Diamond Schmitt Architects.

From Sports Writer to U.S. Attorney
2017 Transcript Alumni Magazine
By Rachel Phipps '07
Update: On June 21, 2018, Carty won his first Sixth Circuit appeal in Kedric Mitchell v. United States Postal Service, when a three-judge panel upheld the district court's decision in a case involving a potential threat of workplace violence.
Successful second careers are the stuff of dreams for some. Not so for Jim Carty '10, who headed to law school after a 15- year career as a sports journalist, where he covered everything from high school athletics to the NFL, NCAA basketball, and the Super Bowl. He also worked a three-year stint as a freelance sports correspondent for The New York Times.
Carty is now an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. As part of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), his office prosecutes criminal cases, brings civil actions, and defends the federal government in federal court.
Is he happy with his career change? "I love being an attorney," Carty said. "I feel very fortunate to do this work, and like I'm in an exclusive club."
According to Carty, litigation is a lot like journalism. For one thing, he writes – a lot. There is digging and investigating. Interviews are important. But there is nothing, nothing that compares to being in court, says Carty.
"When I was a sports reporter, I was fortunate to appear live on ESPN several times, but I was never nervous. Even with millions of people watching, it was essentially fun. We were talking sports. There was nothing at stake," he said.
"Court is different. Every time you appear before a judge, there is something at stake. Your client's interests are at stake and your professional standing is at stake. Appearing in federal court for an uncontested matter in an essentially empty courtroom still leaves me with a lot more nerves than going back on ESPN would," he said. "Judges have tremendous power. You're asking them to use that power for your client's interests, while someone else is asking them to use it against your client's interest. It's a very singular thing, with a lot of responsibility."
After graduating from Syracuse University in 1995, Carty began a career in sports writing "because it was fun." He liked the travel and the people. And he was good at it. He was one of two lead writers on an investigative team entered for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in local reporting for an in-depth examination of academics and athletics at the University of Michigan.
Carty had always played with the idea of attending law school. He started and stopped studying for the LSAT several times before finally enrolling at Toledo Law in 2008. That year, he says, "the newspaper economy was struggling worse than the actual economy – and there were no easy fixes to the newspaper problem. The web was essentially undercutting newspapers' entire revenue model."
Carty graduated from Toledo Law in twoand-a-half years and joined the litigation practice group at Bodman, LLP, a Detroitbased law firm of approximately 150 attorneys. He describes his former practice as the "best of both worlds at a large firm."
He was on a team of attorneys defending claims against the firm's largest commercial litigation client and traveled all over the country – California, Utah, New Orleans – for that client. But Carty also worked closely with smaller businesses, which meant more courtroom experience for the new attorney.
Now Carty is one of more than 100 attorneys in the DOJ office for the Eastern District of Michigan. He is in the office's civil defensive litigation group, which means he defends suits against the federal government, typically overseeing between 15 and 25 cases. These matters range from simple automotive negligence claims to Bivens actions against federal agents to lawsuits by government employees.
"It is a privilege to work for DOJ. As cliché as it sounds, I feel like a part of an organization working for justice," he said, noting that U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had visited the office just the day before as a part of her listening tour on best practices for community policing.
"This is everything I went to law school for," Carty said.
Whatever is next in his career, storytelling will remain in Carty's bag of tricks. It was critical in his first career, and remains important in his second.
"Judges and their clerks are balancing hundreds of cases. You need to be able to make your case stand out, preferably with a single sentence," he said. "'The one with the alligator,' always stands out, but unfortunately we don't usually have an alligator (although I did in one case in private practice…). Without the alligator, you need to reduce the case to simple terms that the court will remember. This is essentially storytelling.
"It's easy to forget the story, to get caught up in legalese and try to cram in every fact," he continued. "When you forget the storytelling, though, you usually end up with something that reads like a mix of a police report, a college English essay written by a statistics major, and a treatise. The lawyer with the better story always has an advantage. It might not win the case for you, but it makes it easier to win."
Where Carty followed the action in his first career, he's happy to be a part of it in his second. We'll continue to follow career No. 2 closely, and file regular reports.

The world of human capital management is rapidly evolving with leaders creating inspiring visions of humans and machines.
Topics: performance management, artificial intelligence, augmented analytics, artificial general intelligence, human capital management, Gartner
For years, the problem of miscommunication has plagued companies. Lack of a proper hierarchy of decision making and scarcity of relevant actionable information has led to organizations missing out on key performance dips and the less speedy generation of insights that can benefit the organization. In most companies, the handling of data is left to the specialized data scientists and the IT department. As such, information insights are generated that much slower with less accuracy than expected.
Democratizing data in the organization would mean that every user can query, understand and apply critical data at faster rates than ever before. As such, let us look at the two biggest reasons a company needs Data Democratization.

Going in for a new job can be nerve wrecking. Going in a for a new job and not knowing the overall goals that are expected of you is even worse.

For the much larger percentage, they are lost not knowing what to do because their goals and expectations were not carefully laid out for them.

Out of those, the top 10 were prescreened; and out of those the top 5 were interviewed. And it was then narrowed down to two. You did the reference checks, talked to the applicant's former managers; and did the required background check. This guy walks on water!

The Challenges Facing Asia Pacific
Over the past three years, in a recovering economy, businesses have been busy creating new strategy to meet the demands of the next 5 years. In Asia Pacific, just as in the US, workplace needs are revolving around demographic trends. These trends will play an important part in how company culture is being re-shaped to meet the demands of a smaller pool of resources. While the labor pool shrinks, the need for greater skills will rise. To fill the gaps, streamlined business practices and advanced technology will be key for success.

The Four E's to an Efficient and Effective Team
The insurance industry is basically being reinvented. And, this reinvention has caused a major disruption in how insurance is defined and purchased by its new customer base. The disruption is so volatile that start-ups selling newly design insurance products are changing the landscape of the traditional garden. Of course this is an analogy; but imagine the main staples of corn, beans, wheat and rice being replaced by quinoa, millet, kamut and amaranth. One can certainly compare this garden of new staple foods to the evolution of the insurance world.

Go Digital…Take Your Insurance Sales Team from Good to Great
Traditional insurance companies have long run their business on their reputation of ethical practices and a superior trust-factor. Other items that created a strong relationship were the quality of their brand, product reliability, second-to-none customer support and the salesmanship of their agents.

Lewis Hamilton has used 'driving slow' as a tactic in the past. Yes, it was at the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where he won the race, but lost the Drivers' Championship to teammate Nico Rosberg.
At the epic Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend, however, Hamilton was penalised for blatantly holding up Daniel Ricciardo on their approach to pit entry. Is this the karma of the motorsport world coming back to bite the Englishman?
Mercedes was outclassed by Ferrari in every department on Sunday, tyre strategy being the most evident. The reigning World Champions need to sharpen themselves to fight external competition after years of intra-team battles. As for Ferrari, someone needs to remind them that they've got a second car too!
After the first three races, it is appearing that positions 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 10th are already blocked for a few drivers. This means there's fewer positions to fight for in the top 10. But for McLaren-Honda, after being bored of DNFs, they decided to lodge a DNS!
Finally, we welcome Turkey and their Turn 8 back to Formula 1, let's hope they get onto the calendar soon enough – or will they?
We also welcome back Jenson Button for his one-off appearance for McLaren at the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix. Is he either brave or crazy to race at Monte Carlo without any testing whatsoever?
And of course, our best wishes and prayers to Formula 4 racer Billy Monger and his family.

The Nation
The station provides a camping area and facilities, but visitors have to bring their own tents and bedding. Cottages are also available at the station but in very limited number.
People have to travel by pick-up truck or powerful bikes through a laterite road and up high slopes of the rocky mountain.
Despite a challenging time travelling there, visitors say it was certainly worth the effort, with the beautiful scenario of nature at day, especially the wild Himalayan cherry trees during winter, and clear starry skies at night.

I've written much about my travels across the ocean of late (just as well since I've lost my travel journal – but that's another matter). Sometimes, all that's required to reinvigorate the spirit is a little local jaunt. I'd been feeling world-weary and so, late in the day, I decided to take the train to the seaside.
On previous visits to the town, I've generally been passing through, on my way to another country. This time, I took the train to the end of the line. Happening upon the local offices of the far-right UK Independence Party in the back streets of the old town was a little disconcerting (it looked like a low-rent estate agency combined with a discount store – how appropriate…) but I found the townspeople to be friendly. After all, how can an international port turn its back on the world?
As you'd expect of a port, signs of the maritime life were everywhere. There were the numerous pubs, of course, arcane nautical crests and jocular frescoes. Trinity House, the former occupying power, has left its mark on the architecture of the town – lighthouses, lifeboat stations, coastguards' cottages… So much to see, my two-and-a-half hours there felt like a week-long holiday.
I ended my micro-vacation at a small and friendly inn, housed in an ancient timber-framed building. The port's old town is packed with former and current pubs. I had merely to mention the African grey parrot, perched in his cage by the bar, to find myself included in the conversation of the other customers in the snug. That bird was further from home than me. I had travelled for forty minutes on the train. He had flown in from the Congolese rain forest. As I write this, the UK Independence Party is probably arranging to have him sent back.

Make your own chicken stock from home. Easy to do, tastes great and souper healthy for you. Use the broth in place of water to enhance many chicken or rice dishes. Feel free to make the broth using whatever vegetable scraps you have in your refrigerator. I like to retain all my vegetable scraps and left-over bones, using them make a bone broth at the end of the week. This recipe will get you started.
|Prep Time
|10 Minutes
|Cook Time
|4-6 Hours
- 6 Cups Water
- 2 Whole Carrots Broken in Half
- 2 Whole Celery Sticks Broken in Half
- 5 Chicken Bones Breast, Thigh, or Leg Scraps
- 1 Handful Fresh Parsley
- 2 Whole Bay Leaves
- 10 Whole Peppercorns
- 1 Sprig Rosemary
- 1 Sprig Sage (Approx. 6 Leaves)
- 1 Teaspoon Salt (Optional)
- Prepare The Broth Use a crock pot or pan over the stove, depending on how much time and energy you want to put into monitoring the broth. Add all your ingredients into the pot, cover, \ and cook on low heat. Cook until the broth is reduced to 4 cups ,and a dark brown color. Let the liquid cool to room temperature, and pour into storage containers or jars with lids. Seal and place in the refrigerator. If storing in the refrigerator, use within a week or freeze.
- Reduce Further For Long Term Storage Reduce the liquid even further by cooking the broth longer to remove excess water, leaving you with extra rich both. Pour the reduction into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen remove from the tray and store in a Ziplock freezer bag for later use in individual recipes.

Pour conclure, sous des dehors discrets le DAC Sony PHA-1AEU offre d'excellentes performances sonores avec un amplificateur pour casque dont la puissance, si elle n'est pas démentielle, permet cependant d'en profiter pleinement. Un Qobuzissime mérité.
I've been looking for something to give the music on my phone and Ipod (yes, I still have one) a little more backbone. The Sony PHA-1A is exactly what I've been looking for. It's small enough to be easily carried around but it produces a BIG sound.
Makes portable music sound betterEasy to carry with your mobile deviceHolds a good charge
A little expensive (but you get what you pay for)
I use the PHA-1A to play FLAC file 44-192kHz from Nexus 5 mobile phone and Samsung Tab-S tablet, both android. I use the USB Audio Player Pro application on both. I connect the PHA-1A to both devices with the supplied cable (Sony says very little on compatibility, seems the cable is micro-usb to...
Overall Impressions This is a amazingly looking device, it does not matter how you look at it, it is simply a pleasure to look at. That is the first impact that one have once you look at it, it calls your attention, I even make a point of not keeping it visible when I'm on the go.
- looks amazing, built like a tank, gives your iOS device new life
- Battery, no proprietary carry case
Extremely limited application. I plan to return for refund. Team has a similar product with more broad application.
All good.Thank you
Works well. Clear sound. Not fatiguing. Excellent construction. Holds battery charge well. Lasts only around 6 hours hence 4 stars.
I was intending to buy a new Fiio x5 mk3 with an external amp but decided to try this paired with my underused Ipod 6g as it is a somewhat cheaper option. The standard apple cable connects into the usb socket on the base of the PHA-1EU.
I recently purchased the Sony PHA-1A. I have this coupled with the Sony NW A35 a hi-rez player. I was a bit skeptical that this would significantly improve the sound. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The Sony PHA-1A provided more detail and clarity.
Great audio, very powerful and well built
I own both this Sony and also the Teac. They are both terrific pieces of equipment and greatly enhance the listening experience and I actually recommend both. However I will give a slight edge to the Sony in that it does provide an even clearer and more precise interpretation of the music I listen...
Great music enhancement. Really makes your headphones pop.Light weight. Good battery life.
Kind of expensive but if you're a real headphone fan they are well worth the investment.

Christmas bûche
Fruits, Biscuit Dough, Cream, Chocolate, Vegetarian
A very rich yet amazingly tasteful bûche recipe, full of chocolate. A classic.
IngredientsRecipe for 4
Chocolate biscuit roulade
Dark chocolate ganache
French meringue
Simple syrup
Preparation time: 90.00 min
Preheat your Oven at 400.00 °F
- Biscuit roulade
In a simple bowl or better in a kitchen aid, whisk the eggs the egg yolks and the sugar (225g) up until you have a ruban.
Meanwhile, make a smooth meringue with the egg whites and the sugar (60g). Very important to fold here, incorporate the flour and the cacao powder into the ruban egg mix. Then, last but not least, the meringue, same method, with a spatula, gently.
With an angled spatula, pour all of the mixture on a cooking pan covered with a parchment paper or with a silpat, from .5 to a centimeter thick.
Off in the oven at 400F from 6-8mins. Pay attention here not to dry the mixture too much.
- Syrup
Bring everything to a boil then let it cool down a bit before using. Advice of the wise, do it the day before.
- Dark chocolate ganache
Bring to a boil the corn syrup with the cream and then, in a bowl, pour it all over the chocolate.
With a whisk, slowly blend all the chocolate to make it melt, once this is done add the room tempered butter. Afterwise, you can continue with a handmixer for a homogeneous and smooth texture.
Off in the fridge, a good 3 hours if possible.
- French meringue
Whisk the egg whites altogether 2 or 3mins to tighten them then fold the icing sugar with a rubber spatula, gently.
All that's left to be done is to pour the mixture in a pastry pouch and create the design you want, cooking pan or silpat on a cooking tray. In the oven at 212F for roughly 2h, it all varies towards the humidity in the spot you're in.
- Montage
Once the main cookie is tempered cold, put it on another parchment paper so the crusty part, the one that was exposed to the heat while cooking, is faced down. Take away the parchment paper delicately.
Generously soak the cookie. Then on this surface, spread the ganache on all its surface. The trickiest part, but easy if you do it slowly, fold it all on itself with your fingers in order to make somewhat of a tight boudin.
Once your chocolate roll is done, cut out the end pieces, but keep them, you will need them later on for decoration.
With your hand, spread some more ganache all over your roll, a thin layer.
You can stick the end pieces on the roll to recreate the tree's nodes. This is entirely optional, but if you do make sure they are sticked to it properly.
Yet again, another uniform layer of chocolate to recover the nodes you made. The goal here is to give it a three dimensional effect, some relief.
With a fork, pass all over the bûche to make it look even more realistic. All that's left to be done after are the decoration you want to add on top or on the sides.
Cooking of the main cookie, watch out for edges not to be dry.
The more the cookie is thin, higher the oven's temperature. The thicker the cookie, lesser will be the temperature in the oven
It can be fun to add a flavor to the syrup you've soaked the cookie in.
Thereby, be careful not to soak it too much or it will literally break down on itself when you'll be folding it.
For the montage, all the elements must be cold or they won't hold.
Feel free to freeze the bûche in an air-tight container.

All white again, I know I know, but I have my reasons! Firstly, the sun has been continuously shining in Glasgow, which rarely happens and secondly, Everlane, a brand I have loved and followed on instagram and seen so many of my favourite style icons wear continuously is now shipping to the UK! Best of all, to celebrate the Royal Wedding this weekend, as Meghan Markle is an avid fan of the Everlane Day Market tote (you know those images of her with the white shirt, jeans and tan tote) for the rest of May they are offering free shipping to the UK on orders over $250! Now that is something to celebrate …
If you aren't familiar with the ethical brand, think Classic, simple and beautiful basics with amazing quality and fit. You all know by now that I love my uniform dressing and Everlane do those "Uniform" pieces so well! This is my first time trying and I already know I will be living in them from now on, especially their Mockneck Tees. I love nothing more than a classic crisp white tee and the cotton Mockneck Tee is literally my new best friend. I love the boxy look with the thick round collar, the perfect summer t-shirt to wear with my denim cut offs too.
Now don't get me wrong, I have been a fan of Meghan Markle's style since I first discovered who she was in Suits all those years ago, but recently she has been nailing it and specifically with her basics. If I'm honest however, a tote isn't something I would usually go for, and again if you know me, you will know I am very parictular about my bags. I use the same ones over and over and it takes me a long time to choose my next purchase. I have to say, as much as I loved the colour of the Day Market Tote I was unsure how much I would wear it and how practical I would find it.
Yet the minute I opened the box and seen the quality and structure in person, I knew I would love it. After using it, I can honestly say that it is a winner and has already become my new everyday bag. It's big enough to carry my laptop and diaries/planners but still structured enough to look chic. The perfect bag for my manic work week and for weekends spent shooting (I love a bag even more if it fits my DSLR!) and I can already tell by the amazing quality that I won't have to be precious with it. So yeah, now I totally get it, and can see why it's such a hit. It also comes in so many colours, I went for the blush to match my summer whites but I LOVE them all and already thinking about the black or tan for Autumn Winter!
If you are anything like me, and are always looking for new shopping destinations, something a little different to your usual, then this is the perfect time to try Everlane. Trust me, you won't regret it!
Have a wonderful weekend,
L xx

Responding to cybersecurity threats is critical in health care, but recent events show that well-meaning responses can create their own havoc.
The WannaCry ransomware attacks that crippled hospitals in the U.K. last week prompted a flurry of large-scale conference calls among government agencies, hospitals and device makers. But some of the calls were held at overlapping times, and others were seen as needing improvement, like the call on which one government official refused to tell listeners what specific medical devices in hospitals were considered at highest risk for infection.
"The nice thing was, people wanted to share information. The bad thing was, they used every venue possible that could be used. It was not coordinated," said Rick Hampton, wireless communication manager with Boston's Partners HealthCare System.
When someone asked what devices were most vulnerable to WannaCry, "the answer that came back was, 'We don't want to tell you that because you will just check that one device and ignore the rest.' Give me a break," he said.
Hampton's critique came on the second day of a two-day workshop on cybersecurity in medical devices held by the Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, Md. The comments were couched within the larger observation that government agencies, hospitals and manufacturers alike are still learning the most effective ways to respond to real-time cyber threats in health care.
And there seemed no doubt among the meeting's 300 attendees that a "next attack" is inevitable. The only question is how to prepare.
The WannaCry computer worm, which locks down infected files on Windows machines and demands money to release them, did not appear to explicitly target health care. But the worm's ability to rapidly compromise entire networks from single infected computers meant it was most effective in sectors with highly interconnected systems and organizational complexity that makes them difficult to maintain — like government, education, manufacturing and health care.
Health care's unique constraints create potential for unintended problems, though.
For one, hospitals contain thousands of devices that could potentially be vulnerable in real-time attacks, making it important to quickly understand how to prioritize threat-mitigation efforts. With the WannaCry worm, that information is only now trickling out, a week after the attacks first surfaced.
Forbes has reported that two radiology machines in the U.S. made by Bayer's Medrad subsidiary were affected by the WannaCry virus, but the issues were said to be resolved without further issues.
Siemens Medical Solutions USA put out a security bulletin that said unspecified devices in its Healthineers imaging division "may be affected" by the computer worm, though "the exploitability of any such vulnerability depends on the actual configuration and deployment environment of each product."
Device maker BD reported working with its customers to ensure software patches have been made on dozens of its products that use Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Pyxis drug machines.
"At this time, we are actively monitoring the situation and working closely with customers to ensure the appropriate measures are taken to help safeguard our products," the BD security bulletin said.
A common recommendation is to conduct regular network scans and antivirus scans, but those can create their own headaches in hospitals.
One attendee at the FDA meeting recalled a situation where his IT department required all devices be regularly swept for problems, including CT scanners. In at least one case the scan happened unexpectedly during a patient encounter, forcing the clinicians to halt the CT procedure. But the patient already had contrast dye injected for the scan; such dye is considered safe, but it is not risk-free.
Another attendee at the FDA meeting, Michigan-based cybersecurity expert Kevin Fu, said that doing a simple network scan to detect the existence of a device on a network is sometimes enough to disable it.
"No one wants to admit this on camera, but if you scan your whole hospital, chances are you are going to knock something off of your network," Fu said Friday. (The meeting was webcast from a camera in the room.)
Fu addressed another oft-raised concern about unintended consequences of cybersecurity efforts — that talking about vulnerabilities publicly will encourage hackers to exploit them.
There's no industry consensus on exactly when and how a medical device company should communicate potential threats to hospitals, but there is a strong fear that communicating too much could weaponize unexploited vulnerabilities or provide hackers a damage assessment that could be useful for future attacks.
Fu said such fears need to be countered with reality.
"There was a little bit of discussion/argument [at the meeting], doesn't that help the bad guys?" Fu said. "The counterargument is, 'Let's not put our heads in the sand.' … The bad guys are already scanning your network, so shouldn't you be, too?"

Those intent on taking our public lands are a creative group. Sometimes they put forth bills that would transfer public lands to the states, opening them up to private industry, which could shut the public out. Sometimes big corporations come in and purchase land and water rights, leading to uncertainty about access. And sometimes, economic barriers are put up to keep Americans out.
The proposed Interior Department budget for 2018 put forth by the president is a direct assault on our public lands. The Interior Department's budget would be cut by 12 percent and have serious implications for the National Park Service. We found out just how serious this week when NPS said they might have to raise entrance fees at 17 parks over 2018. According to a press release by the agency: During the peak season at each park, the entrance fee would be $70 per private, non-commercial vehicle, $50 per motorcycle, and $30 per person on bike or foot. A park-specific annual pass for any of the 17 parks would be available for $75.
For some, $70 a day is just fine. However, that is a prohibitive amount for many Americans. By cutting funding the administration is saying that our public lands and National Parks are only available to those who can afford it. After years of underfunding, the Park Service has been forced into this position. They are already facing a huge maintenance backlog at a time when visitation is up across the entire country. If the proposed 2018 budget goes through, 1,242 full time staff could lose their jobs.
Increased visitation shows just how important these lands are to Americans, but the proposed budget could make these record breaking numbers a thing of the past.
The attack on our public lands comes in many forms. The most recent will cost people their jobs, keep out everyday Americans, and leave many parks struggling to keep their doors open.

Everton looked set to be taken over by an American consortium involving former San Diego Padres owner John Moores and business partner Charles Noell but now former Arsenal shareholder Farhad Moshiri has purchased 49.9% of the shares.
The club have announced that Moshiri bought his his shares this afternoon with a promise of future investment.
It is not yet confirmed if he has bought those shares from current Everton shareholders and from who he has bought. It is confirmed that Bill Kenwright will stay on as chairman for the foreseeable future. Kenwright holds the shares that would make Moshiri the majority owner of the Toffees if he is so inclined to purchase them.
Bill Kenwright said he had been speaking with Moshiri since last year about a purchase but this weekend had been the first mention of his name in regards to a news story breaking. Everton fans will be looking to welcoming new investment to the club and hopefully silverware in the immediate future.
The Mersey Billionaires
The former Arsenal shareholder sold his shares in the Gunners yesterday to business partner Alisher Usmanov. Rumours surfaced in Russia that Usmanov himself had purchased the Toffees but Moshiri's sale led fans to connect the dots.
The Iranian born businessman splits his time between London and Monaco meaning he is accessible to discuss business with Kenwright and if need be, manager Roberto Martinez.
Moshiri is valued at least $1.1 Billion dollars, an increase on Bill Kenwright's current worth of £33 Million pounds. Blues fans will be hoping Moshiri business acumen will lead to a turnaround in commercial revenue where the Toffees rank close to the bottom of the Premier League.
Another topic of conversation fans will the stadium situation. It had been reported that Moores and Noell where far down the line in terms of finding a solution to Everton's stadium troubles.
Moshiri will now be expected to find a solution, whether or not it makes financial sense to redevelop Goodison Park or find land elsewhere in the city and develop a new stadium there.
An exhaustive search
Chairman Bill Kenwright said he had been looking for investment since he bought the club from Peter Johnson in 1999. The Blues chairman said in a statement about the purchase that he believes he has found the "perfect partner to take the club forward."
Moshiri himself said he is looking "forward with excitement" to working with Kenwright and hopes to help "deliver success to Everton in the future."

MERSEYSIDE students toasting record GCSE results today face debts of up to £18,000 if they go on to graduate from the region's universities, new figures revealed.
Experts were predicting another bumper crop of GCSE results today, with almost seven in 10 exams set to be awarded at least a C grade.
But a new survey revealed the levels of debt they face should they now embrace higher education.
City university and school officials predicted a rising number of students would opt to study in their home towns and cities when faced with the yearly increases in the cost of post-18 study.
It came as a survey of student finances by Push.co.uk showed those currently on a university course in the region can expect to graduate with debts between just under £14,000 to almost £18,000.
The survey quizzed students at 139 university campuses throughout the UK and the national average projected annual debt for anyone in higher education right now has gone up around 0.4% to £5,293.
The average debt on graduation now stands at £16,614.
A student at Edge Hill university, in Ormskirk, is expected to be £16,023 in debt on graduation; Liverpool university's figure is £14,585; £17,893 at Hope university; and £13,890 at John Moores university.
But the figures showed the region fares favourably to other universities, with Middlesex university (£35,830) and the University of London (£47,945) among nine institutions with projected graduate debt of more than £30,000.
Today Anne Pontifex, headteacher at St John Bosco college, in Croxteth, which was set for record GCSE pass rates today, said the rising graduate debts would "make students decide to study closer to home" so they could cut rent costs and stick with part time jobs.
Mike McGarry, vice principal of the Belvedere Academy, in Toxteth, said like St John Bosco his school now used the curriculum to focus on the financial side of university.
This included the monetary benefits of studying locally.
But Mr McGarry said university was still something the school encouraged.
He said: "You only have to look at the earning potential of a non-graduate with a graduate and the difference can often be 50% to 60% more."
Liverpool Hope university's pro-vice chancellor Professor Bill Chambers said it was "a shame" there was a "rising trend" of students opting to study locally.
But he stressed Hope had invested heavily in student accommodation to "offer a communal environment" for students coming into the city.

Flame-haired femme fatale Anna Chapman wants Russia to obliterate Britain's two new aircraft carriers.
The glamorous Russian spy issued the warning on social media but added that's only if the bloody Syrian conflict becomes World War Three.
"If, God save us, there is an open military conflict between Russia and USA in Syria, our attacks should be not only aimed at American ships and planes," the sultry secret agent said.
"The British recently launched two new warships — aircraft carriers. I think if something unpleasant happens to them — like sinking to the bottom — the British 'aristocracy' will come to its senses very fast."
The 36-year-old shot to fame when she was nabbed for espionage in New York. She was later part of a spy swap between the West and Russia.
For red-blooded Russians, the slinky spy is the girl-next-door — with a dagger. She has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram where she chronicles her luxe life.
Chapman also managed to slam British Foreign Seceretary Boris Johnson and Prime Minister Theresa May in her rant.
"The fuel on the fire of Russian-American opposition is being poured by one British 'gentleman' with unkempt hair — and a woman who dreams of the 'Iron Lady' status of Margaret Thatcher," the redheaded hellraiser said.
"They [western provocateurs] were turning themselves inside out making Russia use its military force just somewhere – in Donbass (eastern Ukraine), in London, in Syria."
And she alluded to the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in her post.
"I would like to note that this escalation started not at all in Syria," she said. "Its roots are in the British city of Salisbury – at the beginning of March."

Synthetic antibiotics and antimicrobial agents have been widely used by humans for quite some time. Antibiotics are also extensively used in agriculture to treat livestock, either therapeutically or prophylactically. It is now commonly understood that bacterial evolution has led to antibiotic resistance through various cellular mechanisms that can be linked to inherited genetic traits. Hence, antibiotic resistance can now be traced through the environment by the evaluation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in environmental samples. The use of high-throughput sequencing techniques has now made it possible to evaluate numerous ARGs in environmental samples. The following list of articles presents the most recent research published in Environmental Pollution on this topic. These articles paint a picture of how ARGs have spread through surface waters, groundwater, sediment, and soils from around the world.
