VigilEnt Password Manager 2.0 Streamlines Password Management for Windows, Linux and UNIX Environments
Software Automates Password Management to Reduce Help Desk Burden; Delivers Quick Time to Value
Press Release
LAS VEGAS, Nev.
At Help Desk Institute 2003 (Booth # 229), NetIQ Corp. (Nasdaq: NTIQ), a leading provider of Systems Management, Security Management and Web Analytics solutions, today announced general availability of NetIQ® VigilEnt™ Password Manager 2.0, part of the VigilEnt™ Administration and Identity Management solutions group.
VigilEnt Password Manager 2.0 automates password management and generates quantifiable cost savings by providing end users with password self-service and synchronization functionality. For example, end user password reset requests continue dogging IT help desks because of the numerous user IDs and passwords required of users to enable them access to many business-critical applications and multiple computing platforms. According to Gartner, approximately 30 percent of all help desk calls are password-related. With each help desk call costing approximately $25, large call volumes for administrative tasks result in significant operational costs.
"IT and help desk organizations are looking to vendors for help in addressing significant operational issues that are reducing productivity and increasing the cost of doing business," said Dave Peterson, product manager for Administration & Identity Management solutions at NetIQ. "With VigilEnt Password Manager 2.0, NetIQ is delivering immediate and demonstrable value, reducing the volume of repetitive calls to help desks for password resets and account unlocks, freeing those administrators to handle more strategic issues."
With the VigilEnt Password Manager, end-users' many passwords can be reduced to one universal password. No system changes are required as VigilEnt Password Manager leverages existing native login IDs and application controls to auto-synchronize passwords across the entire enterprise. In a single action, an end user can initiate a password change across all supported platforms such as Windows, UNIX, Linux and enterprise applications. End users maintain consistent access to multiple systems and applications and vastly limit their downtime.
Administrators have the option to configure pass-through access for end users so that they can be authenticated against either server or domain accounts, such as Windows, UNIX, Linux, NetWare, LDAP and iSeries, and can prioritize assets for password changes prior to propagation to other assets and synchronization. Version 2.0 also provides for user group delegation across IT asset so that help desk personnel can be allocated granular responsibility and control.
New in version 2.0 of VigilEnt Password Manager:
- Enhanced installation features speeding customer time to value
- Enhanced support for password resets on local Windows accounts
- Secure permissions extension across the enterprise
- Asset prioritization for password changes before changes are propagated
- User group delegation, which gives help desk personnel granular control of users and assets within their purview
Combined with the newly released VigilEnt™ User Manager 1.0 - software automating the creation, modification and deletion of accounts, user IDs, passwords and access privileges, with role and rule-based provisioning - VigilEnt Password Manager further extends NetIQ's portfolio of cross-platform identity management solutions. The two solutions together effectively streamline identity and user management and decrease overall IT expenditures while delivering quick time to value and enforcing enterprise-wide security policies.
"NetIQ's VigilEnt Administration and Identity Management solutions can be installed, operational and effective in a fraction of the time other vendors require, without sacrificing capabilities," said Ross McKenzie, director of Information Systems at Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health. "In protecting our networks and data, I continue to look to NetIQ for high-power solutions that quickly deliver on their promise."
About NetIQ VigilEnt Administration and Identity Management Solutions
VigilEnt Administration and Identity Management solutions from NetIQ deliver more efficient and secure access by automating processes for provisioning user accounts, enabling users to perform self-service without involving the help desk and enabling IT operations to administer their security systems and identity repositories. VigilEnt solutions leverage a three-tier architecture for delivering comprehensive, integrated security management, harvesting data already gathered by existing NetIQ host-based agents. This architecture allows customers to easily add security applications such as intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment to their user management solution with the simple issuance of a license key.

The GGDOT project started from our curiosity to know the greenhouse gas emissions and nutrition of our food choices. We combined our expertise in greenhouse gas emission calculations, nutrition and data handling to create a preliminary toolkit to make this easier. We're now developing these tools in collaboration with academics and beyond through a series of hacknights, with the aim of making these tools publicly available.
Greehouse Gas Emissions Card Game - download, print and send feedback!
We developed these cards to allow people to quickly see greenhouse gas emissions from different foods. Download them here!
To play: Deal out an equal number of cards (e.g. 5) per player. The lead player looks at their top card and chooses a category. Players compare numbers for that category and the highest number wins.
Lots of you have asked to buy them - we're investigating printers and collecting your feedback ahead of doing a run.
Please send us your feedback on the layout and content, so we can improve the cards ahead of going into production! firstname.lastname@example.com
GGDOT Hack Events
The GGDOT Hacknights aim to bring together academic researchers from data science with food experts from nutrition, psychology and greenhouse gas emissions. We are next hacking on Thursday 29th November at the University of York - sign up here to register.
In 2018 we ran hack events at Liverpool John Moores University (you can see the slides shown to participants here), at the University of Sheffield, at the University of Manchester and at the University of Durham. Thanks to the local organisers and to further funding from N8 Agrifood we are running more events in 2019, at the University of Brunel, University of Stirling and University of Oxford.

Conway family hopes others learn from granddaughter's drowning
The grandmother of a 2-year-old who drowned but was revived by medics late in April continues to struggle with guilt, grief and worry but hopes sharing her experience spares another family from a similar struggle.
Gracelynn Heroux, who was placed in her grandmother Connie Beasley's care when she was 3 months old, drowned April 22 in a pool at their Conway home and was dead for what Beasley said was about 45 minutes before emergency medical personnel "got her heart beating again," Beasley said.
Beasley said she, a friend, Gracelynn - who she calls Gracie - and another child were outside that afternoon. She walked to the front of the house to say goodbye to her friend, checked on the children who were still playing, then stepped inside the house to use the bathroom.
"Her (Gracie's) daddy and his friend came in the door and I ran outside to get her and I couldn't find her," Beasley said. "I looked across the whole yard, looked in the pool and didn't see her. I came back inside and didn't find her so I went back to the yard and looked again. The second time I saw her in the pool."
Two adults have drowned in Horry County since Gracie's incident in April.
Conway authorities responded Friday to a pool at The Cove at Coastal Carolina, an apartment complex on S.C. 544, where Kayla Simmons, 26, drowned while swimming. She was pronounced dead at Conway Medical Center.
On Saturday, Myrtle Beach authorities were called to Ninth Avenue North on the beach where Steven Scott Bloomer Jr., 40, was found floating in the water. He died while being treated at Grand Strand Medical Center. According to a police report, Bloomer was in the water with a friend who said he complained about nausea. The friend suggested getting out of the water and told Bloomer to sit on the sand while he went to their area on the beach. When he turned back to the ocean, he said he couldn't see Bloomer.
Drowning is the leading cause of accidents for children ages 1 to 4 and the second leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14, said Beverly Payton of Cochranville, Pa., who is a board member of the Drowning Prevention Foundation.
She said the risk of drowning is the same, no matter the size of the body of water, from rivers to the ocean and swimming pools to bathtubs. She said parents keeping an eye on children is key.
"Even if there is a lifeguard on duty, they need to maintain 100 percent eye contact with their child. Too often parents get lulled into complacency when there is a lifeguard present. The lifeguard is there to only respond to an emergency. Your (the parents) job is to prevent an emergency," Payton said. "Children often overestimate their swim abilities."
The American Red Cross is launching a national campaign hoping to cut the drowning rate in half over the next three to five years by teaching 50,000 people in 50 selected cities across 19 states how to swim. Lisa Quick, with the Red Cross, said Myrtle Beach is one of the selected cities and has a drowning rate more than double the national average. A Red Cross survey found 54 percent of all Americans either can't swim or don't have complete basic swimming skills, Quick said.
"In our efforts to reduce the drowning rate in Myrtle Beach, Red Cross is partnering with the City of Myrtle Beach's Recreation Department to teach swim safety," said Nanci Conley, executive director of the Coastal S.C. Chapter of the Red Cross. "We are committed to working with the city to make a significant impact in swimming safety in our community."
Beasley said she has faith that Gracie will recover, but continues to struggle with her own emotions.
"Dealing with the guilt that I left her outside for a minute," she said. "I made a stupid decision. It drives me crazy. It drives me nuts. I should've known better than to do that."
She said Gracelynn never showed interest in the pool and still doesn't know exactly how she ended up in it.
"She doesn't go around it. She wasn't near it. I thought she'd be OK for a minute," Beasley said. "That was wrong. People say, 'It's not your fault,' but it is. They say 'It could've happened to anybody.' Well, it didn't. It happened to me. I don't know if I'll ever get over it."
The pool is still in the backyard and Beasley said she doesn't want Gracelynn to fear the water the day she's able to swim.
Gracie spent about eight weeks in hospitals, initially being transferred from Horry County to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, then to a hospital in Charlotte, N.C.
The cost of the travel and hospital bills weigh as heavy on Beasley as her guilt. The family created an online fundraiser that can be found by visiting www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/b6j4/please-help-baby-grace.
Beasley said she will never leave a child outside again and hopes other parents do the same.
"No matter how much you think they'll be OK for a second, don't do it." she said. "That's what I thought that she'd be OK for just a minute. She wasn't."
Gracelynn's recovery is slow and the 2-year-old cannot walk or talk, but otherwise is the same little girl, Beasley said.
"She hasn't changed," she said. "Physically, yeah. But, she's still Gracie."

Our Common Reading Program
Macalester College welcomes new students to its engaged community of learners through MacReads: Our Common Reading Program. Reading and sharing ideas with others is central to the college learning experience. Through the MacReads program we introduce you to this process and some of our shared values: critical engagement with ideas, dialogue with members of the Macalester community, internationalism, and reflection on what it means to be an active, responsible global citizen.
We seek to engage incoming first year students by providing each student with a copy of a book selected each year and through that selection:
- provide a common intellectual experience
- instruction on how to analyze texts and engage in critical thinking
- provide a common source for building the library/ITS instruction sessions required for all first-year courses
- build a sense of community and connection to Macalester.
MacReads is Macalester's common reading program is focused on our first year students, but we invite the entire Macalester community to join and engage in a discussion about a selected title. During orientation there will be events related to the book. More information will be posted as dates and times become available.
Book Selection
The MacReads Selection Committee choses the common reading for each academic year based on the theme selected for the annual International Roundtable. The committee includes representatives from Academic Programs, Alumni Relations, the Dean of Students office, Campus Programs, the Dewitt Wallace Library,and the Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching.
Criteria for the selection includes:
- Critical Thinking - to be intellectually stimulating, stretch students' minds, encourage students to think about issues they might not have before
- Style - enjoyable, engaging, reasonable length, with an accessible writing style.
- Content - addresses a theme/topic that can be made applicable to a wide range of students and invoke interesting discussion.
- Relevance - relevant to first-year students, the institutional mission and values, campus initiatives, the current society, and/or the local community.
History of the Program
MacReads was reintroduced in 2010 and is co-sponsored by the DeWitt Wallace Library and Academic Programs. It is a collaborative project that involves members from Academic Programs, Student Affairs, the Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching, the Alumni Office, Campus Programs, SAC (Staff Advisory Council), and a student representative from MCSG. Our goal is to select a title each year that will connect new students to their new community at Macalester College.

The tourist in me
I always feel that the best way to understand the culture of a place is to live it. Smell it. Enjoy it like a local. I have started to notice that Americans are not very good with their surroundings. Malls, theaters and cars they connect with all the time but they never try the simple stuff in life. So I decided to brave it and be a tourist for a day.
Introducing the gorgeous Getty Villa in Malibu. 64 acres of beautifully maintained space with a view to die for. From the balcony of the museum you can see the pool of water that feels like it extends all the way to the ocean.
I apologize for the poor quality of all my images till now. I am currently functioning on a free phone that has a terrible camera.
Between the trees in the distance is the ocean, glistening through the foliage.
This is the entrance to the structure. You have to walk through the concrete pathway, you see a wide amphitheater and at the bottom is the museum which is built in the same style of a large building that was excavated around the time Getty was getting into classical art. He modeled the museum on that structure (could have been Caesar's father in law's house) and gave the entire structure the feeling of being an excavation site.
Just another section of the space around the museum.
I was smart enough to just make it in time for the collection highlights tour. I highly recommend that you take a tour in a museum otherwise you do not appreciate the artworks. In the Carnegie Museum, I felt like I was overwhelmed by the number of works. Even though we only got to hear about four of the pieces on the tour here, I learnt to appreciate them. I made a quick tour of the rest of the museum. I also tried to get on the special exhibition tour. I had to resort to following the group around while straining my ears to listen to what the tour guide had to say about Picasso's work. Still totally worth it.
Nothing profound happening in my parts of the country so I decided to let you guys live like a local with me. Makes me feel less guilty about donning my tourist hat. You are most welcome to follow the quirky side of me here or the more profound side of me here. Sometimes I like to mix and match because I'm just an oddly shaped cookie. Looking forward to hearing from you.

"Teacher vs. Student"
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a 2007 fantasy film.
Directed by: David Yates.
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson, Michael Gambon, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, Helena Bonham Carter,Evanna Lynch and Imelda Staunton.
After Voldemort's return, Harry is haunted by his demons and no one accepts his parables of the dark lords return to be true. The Ministry of Magic out of fear begin to take over Hogwarts.
While all the films generally focus on Harry Potter, the fifth year tends to dwell more into a darker place in his life. With the loss of a student by the hands of his enemy, he has been reduced to a liar. His own classmates discard him as an individual out for fame and blame him for the death of Cedric. Fear takes over the soul and makes it believe what it wants to rather than seek reason. All part of Voldemort's plan, which gives him far more control then ever in his wildest dreams.
The first taste of his power is where he sends two Dementors to attack Harry, forcing him to use his magic and maybe eliminate Hogwarts from the equation. Unexpectedly we see Potter protect Dudley from the Dementor, when at one point it seemed like he hesitated. Maybe others wouldn't see what I saw but that's my opinion. Though it's the character's duty to protect those in danger, nice to see he cares somewhat for his cousin.
As later, the Order of the Phoenix makes its introduction to take Harry for asylum. This scene displays a very interesting form of magic, where their secret headquarters appears from the walls of a neighboring building like a the prison chest that held Moody confined. Another interesting character would be the servant of Black manor, Kreacher who doesn't seem to be as lovable as Dobbey but obeys commands. His mumbling against the people living in the house hints us that Black's life in his family must have been filled with drama and dysfunction. The Phoenix members were founded by Dumbledore to counter the dark forces of Slytherin's heir and harry feels as if he should fight with them, but as usual, he's shielded for his protection. This presents a problem in our hero's character development. He's the supposed prophecy to defeat Voldemort yet is still treated as a child and not recognized. Truthfully he does have much to learn, but it makes him feel further shadowed from everyone else. Keeping Harry in the dark go on the entire film until the long awaited climax. The Visuals:
The battle between the headmaster and student had great visual effects. The cinematography through the movie's dark tone really made it for me. The costume selection was perfect and the halls of the Ministry divine.
The Bad:
The relationship between Harry and Cho was too awkward and not well developed. I've heard they have more interactions in the book. A few plot holes here and there. Harry's father tormenting Snape wasn't explained to detail, forcing me to guess. Hard to believe Rowling approved of the script with many questions. What about the Veil? What about Padfoot? why did Black refer to Harry as James? was it because he reminded him of James Potter or because of Harry's middle name? And why didn't Voldemort get wet?
A darker chapter, vile antagonists and a prophecy yet to be told.

I am very new to the world of beer, having only started drinking it about 3 months ago, so when I say that I have no idea what I am talking about, I mean it. I have never brewed or even seen the brewing process done before, but I knew that I would find it quite interesting and motivating to test more and more different flavors.
For my dream beer, I would like to infuse the flavors of one of my favorite drinks, a Chai Tea Latte. It is typically a bit of a spicy tea, with cinnamon and peppercorn flavors, topped off with cream and sugar to make a cozy cup of tasty heaven.
I am not certain, but I would believe that in the Hot Side, I would add: Star Anise, Clove, Allspice, Cinnamon Bark, Peppercorns and Cardamon. Not sure what or how much, but add some sort of lactose for a bit of sweetness.
For the Cold Side, I would steep a black tea leaf (maybe ceylon) for about a day. Not sure how strong the flavor would end up being, but I don't want to tea to over power the spices.
If I ever get my hands on supplies and really get a hang of simple recipes, I would love to experiment with these ingredients and someday attempt this brew. Until then, I'll just have to keep my eyes open for something like it.

My friend Alok,who is making a documentary over Indian comic industry sent these fresh pics of cartoonist "Pran",which he clicked during his interview a few days back.
The name of 'Pran' is taken with great respect in the name of comic industry,his creations "Chacha Chaudhry,Raman,Billoo,Pinky" etc doesn't require any introduction.
So rightly here are the few snaps of Pran in action,its very 1st time to see a Indian illustrator in action,all thanks to Alok only.
Alok with master craftsman...
Something about him...
His famous creations....
In last post we discussed about Bal Pocket Books and popular Hindi novelists.In this post we will discuss in very brief about some of the popular Hindi film magazines and some other left out novels.Kuldeep,you may be remembering i mentioned about 'Sushma' in last post.
'Shama(Urdu) & Sushma(Hindi)' were a pioneer and very popular film magazine of Indian Hindi movies.I remember reading lots of Sushma and a few Shamas.The editorial article and stories were used to be very entertaining including other articles from veteran film industry personalities.
Here are the few vintage Sushma covers of 80's.
Shama/Sushma were at the peak of popularity in 70's and 80's as they were the first magazine to start highly prized quizzes based on Indian Hindi movies.The cross-word puzzle of Shama and questioner quiz of Sushma were highly popular among Indian masses,in late 80's and early 90's Sushma was the lone magazine to give Televisions as reward for its quizzes.I too have won a audio cassette from one such quiz from Sushma.
One such article popular article was 'Sushma Sabha' in which witty/funny/light questions of readers were answered by the magazine in a very interesting and entertaining manner. Here is the image of one such page from Sushma.Read them yourself to find the quality of those answers.
Has anyone seen a better pic than this of cute and innocent beauty of Dimple Kapadia...
Deep,the next one is for you,have you ever seen Dharam paji's such a young picture....this one is from the 'Muhurat' of his movie "Shola Aur Shabnam"
A vintage ad and Sushma of 90's....
Coming back to novels,here are some covers of novels contributed by Deep,have a look and say thanks to him.
Also some novel covers from my side of the likes of 'Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya' and 'Devkinandan Khatri' who wrote 'Chandrakanta & Bhutnath',and VPS on the similar lines also wrote up 'Devkanta Santati'.I read few parts of Devkanta Santati and find them just ok,what you think about them Kuldeep!
In the last,finally comic for this post.Its a Fauladi Singh comic,sorry for missing cover,if anyone have its cover then pls send so that it can be included here.
(P.S:Indrajal comics and Phantom lovers,from a long time i strayed away from posting Indrajal comics and other Phantom/Mandrake stuff,but don't worry will be coming back soon with Indrajal comics.)

This fish cooks very quickly. On completion of the process can be judged by her clouded eyes and pale flesh. The most delicious and capelin caviar sold in the first four and the last three months of the year.
How to roast capelin?
There is no single recipe, how to cook and eat capelin. The most basic one involves the traditional frying. Fish roll in flour and put on the preheated pan in hot vegetable oil. In the roasting process capelin, several times overturned. After completion of the process laid out on a plate.
How to cook capelin scare?
For those who prefer not to fry capelin, and simmer, you can offer another option – scare. Washed fish spread evenly in the pan, salt it and pepper. On top lay the onion cut into half rings. Such layers alternate several times. And finally, top with crumbles herbs and Bay leaf.
Layers pour boiling water so that the water hid them. Pan put on fire, heated to the boiling point of water, and then covered with a lid. Its contents are languishing on low heat for 10 minutes.
Fish laid out on a plate and poured the broth.
As exquisitely prepared capelin?
If you have patience, it is possible to clean the fish and cut it into fillets without bones. Painstaking work, but will not pass in vain. Prepared from fillets you can cook some amazing taste of the dishes.
For example, fry it until Golden brown in vegetable oil, then put in a saucepan, pour sour cream, sprinkle generously with cheese and bake in the oven until Golden surface. This dish is served with fresh vegetables and herbs.
No less tasty and another dish of capelin. Salted, peppered fillet and onion cut into rings, the layers are stacked in a saucepan. After all it is poured tomato sauce, slightly diluted with water and stew for 5-7 minutes. As a result, the fish gets a spicy and aromatic.
Advice 2 : How to cook capelin
Recipe of fried capelin
To roast capelin, you need about 0.5 kg of capelin, 1 onion, oil for frying, a little flour for breading and the juice of ½ lemon or lime, salt and a pinch of spices for fish to your taste.
Thoroughly rinse the fish in running cold water and dry on paper towel or napkin. Put the pieces in a deep container, add salt, sprinkle with juice of lemon or lime, add the spices for the fish (you can also add a little sugar for taste). Mix gently and leave for 20-30 minutes to marinate. Capelin is good because it can not be cleaned before cooking. Some cooks cut off heads and tails, and some guts, but this is not necessary.
If you have frozen capelin, first thaw it at room temperature, then proceed as described above.
Take a deep pan (you can use a wok) or large kettle, heat it well with vegetable oil. Then put in the oil onion, sliced thick rings or large cubes. While the onion is fried, marinate the bread pieces in flour. Fry the fish portions, from both sides, until Golden brown. Can place the fish close to each other, it will not stick together. Ready serving, remove with a dry slotted spoon, laying on a paper towel to soak up excess fat, and immediately place into the pan (cauldron) a new batch of capelin. And so until then, until all fish is cooked.
You can also use for breading chicken egg, not preparing the marinade. To do this, break it, add pepper and salt to taste. Pour the egg mixture in the bowl where is moiwa. Mix. Roll the fish in flour and fry on both sides.
How to cook a delicious side dish to fried capelin
If you want to you was the fish tasty and well any side dish before roasting capelin peel and cut into thin strips 2-3 potatoes medium size. Immediately after all of the last portion of capelin will be removed from the tank with oil, put the potatoes and fry until Golden brown. Impregnated with scent of fish and onions, it will be especially delicious. Once the potato is ready, immediately serve a main dish and a side dish to the table.
This food is very good spicy sour cream sauce with a touch of mustard and horseradish.
The taste of properly roasted capelin will surprise even the discerning and demanding consumer. So do not neglect this modest-looking fish.

Do A Little Dance- June 1, 2014Sunday, June 1st, 2014
Growing up we did not plan the summer until we knew the date of the dance recital. Recital week was intense, long and wonderful. It began with days of rehearsals on a wooden stage in a high school auditorium. It ended with dinner and milkshakes at a Darryl's restaurant. There were years as a teenager when my mom and I wheeled in a rack of costumes. A rack. Pink and tan tights. Tap shoes. Pointe shoes. Headpieces. Tape for blistered feet. Sequins. False eyelashes. Makeup and hairspray stashed in a Caboodle. The recital of course was after a year of competition weekends, Nutcracker Christmases and classes at least four days a week.
That was dance. A past life. A life before leaving home and becoming an adult.
This weekend we carefully timed Charlotte's nap, reviewed lengthy emailed instructions from the dance studio, charged the camera batteries, printed our tickets and packed a bag. I wrestled my squirmy three-year-old into new tights because she ruined the other pairs. I fluffed her tutu. I made a decent attempt at putting stage makeup on a child that kept rubbing her eyes and licking off her lipstick. We bought the DVD and had a bouquet of flowers ready.
I sat in an auditorium and watched my life come full circle. On either side of us were my parents. I mentioned to my dad that I was learning how expensive this hobby is. He laughed. He said, "You remember the recital when you had TWELVE costumes?!" It was fourteen. At least fourteen.
We watched the extraordinary dances of the teens with at least fourteen costumes and far more talent than I ever had. Then the prop volunteers brought a "house made of straw" a "house made of sticks" and a "house made of bricks" on to the stage. With a sweaty hand I grabbed my husband's and swallowed hard. You could hear the collective "Aw!" of the crowd when they saw the tiniest dancers take the stage. When the lights came up you could see their pig ears and tales. The "Three Little Pigs" dance began. I grinned so hard my face hurt.
This group of tutued, highly distracted three-year-old's mimicked their teacher standing off the side of the stage. They ran from house to house per the song's lyrics. The most memorable bit of choreography was when they pointed to their chins for the line, "not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" If only they could remember to do it. It was the cutest chaos I'd ever seen.
I was so proud I could barely breathe.
Will she do this for as many years as I did? Maybe. Maybe not. That's okay. Today I sat with my parents and my husband and got to see my child's first dance recital. That's worth the price of fourteen-hundred costumes.

Bald Eagles Soaring After Recovery
This Fourth of July marks one decade since the bald eagle glided off the endangered species list. Today, eagles soar in ever higher numbers and across all states, except Hawaii. We salute our state fish and wildlife agencies for their pivotal roles in America's wildlife success story.
Bald eagle pairs have increased by a stunning 50 percent in the last ten years –from about 10,000 to 15,000 pairs in the lower 48 states, where Florida and Minnesota harbor the largest populations. Alaska continues to be a stronghold for eagles with some 30,000 birds.
States took the lead as managers after 2007 and every American continues to play a stewardship role. We protect their majestic nest trees. We support the clean, fish-filled waters that bald eagles and people alike need to thrive. We honor the freedom eagles require to live.
Wildlife Recovery Can't be Assumed
Just as freedom can never be taken for granted, so the return of the bald eagle cannot be simply assumed. We'd come perilously close to losing our national emblem and longtime spiritual symbol for tribal peoples.
In 1963, bald eagle numbers had plummeted from historic levels of more than 100,000 to only 417 pairs in the lower 48 states. The banning of DDT in the U.S. in 1972 and protection under the Endangered Species Act since 1973 made recovery possible. State biologists took heroic steps—like taking wild birds from Alaska for breeding and hand-rearing young to be independent enough to release in the wild.
Our state fish and wildlife agencies remain vigilant on behalf of bald eagles that still face threats from lead poisoning, illegal shooting, habitat loss, and disturbance. Their work to conserve, protect, and monitor the birds goes hand in hand with terrific education programs—from releasing birds into the wild to citizen science counts and eagle viewing tours.
This 4th of July, you might show your patriotism this way. Hold up the bald eagle emblem. Be proud that our bird flies free again and pledge to help bald eagles and all America's wildlife facing declines and hardship.
Take inspiration from the bald eagle success story. We've done it once, we can do it again. Together, we can be active stewards of wildlife and prevent species from ever needing to be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Please act today!
Urge Congress to save America's vulnerable wildlife by supporting bills like the Recovering America's Wildlife Act.

On arrival
Whilst you are waiting to be called forward for the MOT test, use this time to check the following:
familiarise yourself with the vehicle controls, all light switches, boot, bonnet, fuel cap operation and so on
ensure any headlamp levelling device is set in the correct position for a vehicle without a load (usually a small wheel control on the dash which is numbered. In most cases the correct position will be at 0)
please have the vehicle registration certificate, appointment card and previous MOT certificate (if applicable) readily available for examination
Smoke test
The smoke emitted from compression ignition (diesel) engined vehicles is assessed for its density. It is carried out by the use of an approved and calibrated smoke meter.
The engine will be accelerated up to governed speed and the density of the smoke measured.
After the third acceleration the average reading is recorded. If the reading is below 2.5m-1 for non-turbocharged engines or 3.0m-1 for turbocharged engines the vehicle will pass.
However if the average is higher, a further acceleration is carried out and the average of the last three readings are used, this will continue until a maximum of six accelerations have been carried out.
If the average of the fourth, fifth and sixth acceleration is higher than the appropriate level the vehicle will not pass the test.
In addition to the smoke meter readings, any of the following will result in the vehicle being refused a certificate:
emissions cannot be measured because a tail pipe is damaged or an accessory is fitted which prevents the insertion of the smoke meter probe
insufficient oil in the engine or low oil pressure which could cause engine damage if engine is accelerated
obvious signs of an engine defect such as an unusual noise or emission of smoke
obvious signs that the governors have been tampered with or not operating
Exhaust emission
This test applies to all cars, taxis, minibuses and ambulances with up to 12 passenger seats, and other vehicles up to and including 3,500 kg design gross weight (DGW), which are spark ignition (petrol) engined with four or more wheels.
Any of the following points will result in the vehicle being refused a certificate:
the engine emits dense blue or clearly visible black smoke for a continuous period of five seconds at idle
the engine emits dense blue or clearly visible black smoke during acceleration, which would obscure the view of other road users
the emissions cannot be measured because the tailpipe is damaged or an accessory is fitted which prevents insertion of the analyser probe
the exhaust gas contains one or more gases in excess of the required limits for the associated test
Vehicles first used prior to 1 August 1975 are exempt from a metered emission test.
Vehicles first used on or after 1 August 1975 and before 1 August 1986:
hydrocarbons (HC) 1,200ppm (parts per million)
hydrocarbons (HC) 1,200ppm
While specific limits are too numerous to list the following is for guidance only:
carbon monoxide (CO) 0.5 per cent at idle
carbon monoxide (CO) 0.3 per cent at fast idle
lambda: 0.97 - 1.03 Lambda (value of 1 for the optimum air/fuel ratio setting)
Vehicles must be presented for test with the engine at normal working temperature. Therefore engine should be kept running on arrival at the test centre.
Under bonnet inspection
An under bonnet inspection is carried out at this stage (please be ready to release the bonnet catch when requested).
Also checked at this stage:
power assisted steering
engine transmission mounts
mechanical brake components
hydraulic, air and vacuum brake systems
fuel system
brake and steering fluids
general condition of the vehicle
vehicle structural integrity and construction
European Directive 2007/38/EC requires trucks over 3.5 tonnes and first registered on or after 1 January 2000 to be fitted with a wide angle mirror and a close proximity mirror - both mirrors are to be fitted on the nearside of the vehicle.
These additional mirrors are required to help drivers detect other road users in the areas immediately around their vehicles, thus reducing the potential for collisions.

Matthew Ingram does a good job of doing a retrospective on the state of newspapers and questioning the fit their current predicament has with disruptive innovation. Interesting to consider that public health and its communications are facing similar challenges with how people get and use health information. I can't help but think there is a lot to learn here about what was and wasn't done by newspapers (who are still around).
At the Brainstorm tech conference on Wednesday, several media-industry heavyweights talked about a video project they did for Harvard University in which they interviewed leaders in the industry about the rise of digital and the decline of newspapers as a force in the media business, and also gave some of their own thoughts about whether media companies could have avoided what they called a "digital riptide" that sucked the business under.
Their answer was no — because the upheaval was too widespread to resist, and the disruption of their business model too financially painful. But is their analysis correct? Yes and no.
The three directors of the project, which was put together for Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, are former Time Inc. editor-in-chief John Huey, former New York Times editor of digital Martin Nisenholtz and Paul Sagan, executive chairman of Akamai Technologies. They interviewed about 60 media insiders about the…

With the second season of Stranger Things airing recently, I have dug up one of my older playlists from last year.
After watching the first season I was completely and utterly amazed by the score that Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein had come up with. They are in a really amazing band, S U R V I V E, whose sounds revolve around synth only (which is how the Duffer Brothers found them and asked them to do the soundtrack. Here is a very nice story and interview with Dixon and Stein). Also I just recently learned, that they name their albums after their catalogue numbers. Kind of confused, kind of impressed.
The synthy- retro sounds were one of the main things that made me so obsessed with the show in the first place.
Being the playlist hoarder that I am, I obviously made a playlist inspired by the Stranger Things score. They all have a lot of synch elements to them, and strangely – even though I am not the biggest fan of electronic music- this playlist is one of my current favourites. I have updated it after watching the second season (can we talk about how amazing that season was??) and am now ready to share my finds with you. Some of the songs do contain vocals unlike the original score, but like I said: This is a playlist of songs that, to me, go nicely with some of the songs used in Stranger Things.

Operational oceanography is an emerging research field devoted to the science, technology and applications on observing and forecasting our oceans and seas. It is important for improving the safety and efficiency of maeitime transport and marine operations; enabling the sustainable exploitation and management of ocean resources, such fisheries;supporting safe and efficient offshore energy related activities;mitigating the effects of environmental hazardss and pollution spills;contributing to ocean climate variability studies and seasonal-to-internannual climate prediction.
Despite the fact that developing countries are more vulnerable to hazards in ocean region due to lack of capacity in operational oceanography, marginal and coastal seas around developing countries are much less studied than these regions around developed countries. Some large developing countries such China, India, Brazil and South Africa have been building their own operational ocean forecasting systems in recent years along with their fast economy growth. As a result, the operational oceanography�community in these developing countries is growing at high rates. Therefore, it is time to create a dedicated forum for operational oceanographers from developing countries.
The 12th�CAS-TWAS-WMO Forum, the�International workshop on operational oceanography for developing countries�will be a starting point to strengthen collaboration among all developing countries interested in operational oceanography by discussing common scientific and infrastructure issues.
See the conference website for more information.

Ten grubby little fingertips
Are washed with loving care.
Tiny hands will stretch upwards,
Seeking things to share.
Hands that want to touch and feel
Those new things all around.
Hands that seek those things above
And those things on the ground.
Hands that haven't done much work -
So smooth to human touch.
There are many years of work ahead;
Till now they've not done much.
A small hand nestling in Mum's hand -
You're walking off to school
But tomorrow you'll be all grown up
And hand-holding's not "cool".

by Matthew Montfort
Last month the Ancient Future Times featured news from A.F.A.R. The concept is to involve you, fans of world fusion music, in supporting the creation of the Archive of Future Ancient Recordings, a collection of new live and studio recordings that will be available to subscribers (YOU) as they are created. We are now 2% of the way to our financial goal of supporting the creation of a brand new Ancient Future recording of cross-cultural collaborations.
We really do need YOUR help to continue to bring you new music from Ancient Future, so we've sweetened the deal by making our $10 support reward include select 128 kpbs downloads from our legacy recording archives plus brand new recordings as they are created. Even at the $10 level you'll be able to keep up with the progress of the recording throughout the term of the project. If just 10% of the people who get this newsletter today contribute just $10 each, we'll be 25% of the way to our fundraising goal and we can really get the ball rolling on new cross-cultural collaborations! You can even give A.F.A.R. as a gift and we will deliver your gift of supporter membership via email to the recipient of your choice! It is a great last minute gift that will keep on giving with new music over the next year.
There are already four songs in the archive. This week I put some time in myself to personally sweeten the deal even further! I spent two full days mixing and mastering a live recording of my song, 'Moonbath' from Ancient Future's 30th anniversary concert at the Freight and Salvage last July. In December, 1978, Ancient Future went into Tres Virgos Studio in Mill Valley to begin work on the first Ancient Future record, Visions of a Peaceful Planet, and 'Moonbath' was the first song we recorded. The version from the 30th anniversary concert is a very delicate and moving duet featuring myself on scalloped fretboard guitar and Mariah Parker on hammered dulcimer. I love how it turned out. As soon as we add just five more subscribers, I'll add 'Moonbath' to the download archive! Your support can be what puts this song in the archive! Please sign up for A.F.A.R. now and join us on this creative cross-cultural journey in the new year!
You can also help by spreading word of A.F.A.R. afar, so please share this with your friends near and afar!

A pioneer of the scalloped fretboard guitar (an instrument combining qualities of the South Indian vina and the steel string guitar), Montfort spent three months in intensive study with vina master K.S. Subramanian in order to fully apply the South Indian gamaka (note-bending) techniques to the guitar. He has performed concerts worldwide, including at the Festival Internacional de la Guitarra on the golden coast of Spain near Barcelona. He teaches private lessons at the Blue Bear School of Music in San Rafael and at his studio in San Rafael. He has a few openings for new students starting in January 2010.

"You've heard Afro-Pop, sitar, gamelan and world music for years. But do you know what they are and how they work? Better yet, would you like to play those twisted cross-rhythms and melodies? In Ancient Traditions--Future Possibilities, Matthew Montfort, a founding member of the world music band Ancient Future, has put together the book for people who want to dig into world music with both hands. The first section of the book covers traditional music of West Africa, Bali and India with theories and exercises. Wherever possible, Montfort has provided beat counts alongside the standard musical notation so even if you can't read music, you can still learn the rhythms." – Richard Kadrey, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE.
"Very highly recommended for any instrumentalists hoping to expand their rhythmic horizons. If you've never investigated the beautiful clash of African polyrhythm, the incredible interlocking textures of Balinese music, or the complex metric structure of Indian classical music, check out Ancient Traditions--it will blow your mind and deepen your groove." – GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE
"If you're tired of programming your drum machine with the same old 4/4 back-beat, or you want to sharpen your rhythmic chops, this book is highly recommended." – ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN
No previous knowledge of world music traditions is required for this training. Basic vocal or instrumental technique is required, including comfortability in playing or singing with a tonic C, D, or E. The following materials are offered as a preview of the training.

Live version of 'Soul Serenade' from Matthew Montfort's debut recording, Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar.
This soiree for Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar celebrates the debut solo recording by Ancient Future leader Matthew Montfort. Montfort will perform on both the scalloped fretboard guitar, a special modified instrument able to produce ornaments more characteristic of the sitar, and on a Godin Glissentar, an 11 string fretless guitar based on the oud. While previously known more for his compositions for the trendsetting world music group Ancient Future, Seven Serenades features his intimate improvisational guitar work.

"This album reveals a thorough knowledge of Hindustani microtonal ornaments, transferred in ways that create one of the most distinctive guitar sounds in contemporary music. However, it also reveals a lifetime of exploration in world music, which can be immediately summoned in a flash of inspiration. When this level of mastery is reached, there is no need to rewrite. The first improvisation has the depth of a reworked composition." – Teed Rockwell, INDIA CURRENTS, March 2009

The natural approach to solving allergies…
Did you know?
Patients receiving spinal adjustments result in long term alleviation from Allergies…
- Asthma and many allergic reactions are caused by a hypersensitive immune system and/or respiratory system, for your immune system and respiratory system to function well, they must rely on healthy communication from the brain and the spinal cord.
- When the upper cervical spinal joint is irritated, it can provoke or worsen asthmatic and allergic symptoms.
- More medication is a bad idea! According to the Mayo Clinic, allergy shots have dangerous side effects and may cause Anaphylaxis, low blood pressure, and trouble breathing.
- Allergy medicines that have decongestants can raise blood pressure and create heart palpitations.
Patient Testimonial
"I grew up with allergies every year as a child. My every other month visit to the allergy clinic to get my allergy shot became routine but was always dreaded. My face would swell up , my congestion was so bad it was hard for me to talk and breathe. I always thought I was just one of those unlucky people that suffers more from allergies then others every year. When I started receiving adjustments at Health Quest, I learned about the immune system response in my body. After being under care for only a week, I was showing major improvements. Now I may get one small allergy attack per year, when I do I visit my doctor at Health Quest and find great relief! If you are tired from suffering, chiropractic is the best solution! Thank you Health Quest, I do not miss my swollen allergy face at all and now I can enjoy all of the beautiful seasons!"

LA QUINTA, Calif. – The TPC Stadium Course is currently ranked No. 40 on Golf Digest's "100 Greatest Public Courses." Its 17th hole is ranked No. 2 and the par-4 16th hole is ranked 12th among The Desert Sun's "Top 100 Golf Holes in the Desert." The Nicklaus Tournament Course is a highly regarded and beautiful course in its own right. It played host to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in 1992 and 1993; its tricky par-5 15th hole is ranked 84th on the "Top 100 Golf Holes in the Desert."
"Having the iconic and fan-pleasing TPC Stadium Course as our host course lets us offer a number of exciting new hospitality venues and spectator areas," Foster said. "The three closing holes are just spectacular, especially with the island green 17th shaping up as an incredible place to watch the greatest players in the world take their best shots. Earlier this month, we saw the excitement the 17th island green of the TPC Sawgrass course generated for fans at THE PLAYERS Championship. We can't wait to showcase our own island green in January."
Special early commitment opportunities for the hospitality offerings, including the exciting new Club 17 venue overlooking the island green, are available to businesses and individuals for a limited time. To learn more, contact Bob Marra at email@example.com or 760-861-4242.
"We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with Desert Classic Charities and the PGA TOUR," said Paul Cherrett, Managing Director of La Quinta Resort & Club and PGA WEST. "The TPC Stadium and Jack Nicklaus Tournament courses at PGA WEST have a rich history hosting great tournaments. We welcome the tournament back to these world-class courses; courses that the public will be able to play as they walk in the footsteps of the pros."
Article originally published on PGATOUR.COMLA QUINTA, Calif. – The TPC Stadium Course, annually recognized as one of the top golf courses in the United States, and its PGA WEST sister course – the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course – will serve as two of the three courses for the CareerBuilder Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation PGA TOUR event in 2016. The announcement was made by Desert Classic Charities, the host organization that has managed the tournament (formerly the Bob Hope Classic and Humana Challenge) since its inception in 1960.
The two PGA WEST courses will join long-time tournament mainstay La Quinta Country Club beginning with the 2016 CareerBuilder Challenge, continuing the event's recent tradition of being played solely within the city of La Quinta. The 2016 tournament, the first with CareerBuilder as title sponsor, will be held during the week of Jan. 18 with official rounds scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 21 through Sunday, Jan. 24.
"This will be the 56th year Desert Classic Charities has hosted a PGA TOUR event and throughout those years it has been played on some of the Coachella Valley's most dynamic courses," DCC President John Foster said. "This latest move reflects that perfectly. We take great pride in our history of challenging, interesting and diverse courses and we look forward to this latest chapter in our rich history, especially with our new title sponsor on board."
The TPC Stadium Course, which will serve as the host course and site of the tournament's final round, has a rich history all its own. The Pete Dye-designed course was built in 1986 and immediately vaulted into the ranks of the nation's most unique and exciting courses. The TPC Stadium Course became not only a popular destination course, but a mainstay for professional golf events almost from its inception, including having been a part of this event in 1987 (when it was known as the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic).
The TPC Stadium Course has played host to the Skins Game (1986-1991), the PGA Club Professional Championship (1990), the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf on the Champions Tour (1995-96) and along with the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course next door, the finals of PGA TOUR Qualifying School (1986, 1988, 1989, 2002, 2006 and 2008).
Its most famous and iconic moment came in 1987 on its signature hole – the par-3 17th. The short hole, named "Alcatraz" because of its island green that nearly mimics the same hole on the Dye-designed TPC Sawgrass – home of THE PLAYERS Championship, has bedeviled golfers much like its Florida counterpart. But it didn't unnerve Lee Trevino, who aced the hole to win a $175,000 skin during the 1987 Skins Game.
