Does a virus have your server down? Perhaps it's the latest worm, Trojan horse, buffer overflow or denial of service attack that's got you or one of your servers down. While one of these bugs may be affecting one or more of your servers in your enterprise, it is highly unlikely that the server affected is a Power server running IBM i. IBM i may be running your core business applications or it may be hosting your website or running Domino. Whatever its function within your enterprise IBM i has remained unaffected by virus and malware attacks. Why is that?
Viruses and other ailments spread by infecting a host that is vulnerable. Let's take a look at how IBM i and the applications running on it can remain unscathed by the viruses and malware that are so prevalent today.
In this white paper, Carol Woodbury of SkyView Partners defines each "ailment" and then describe the defenses and protection mechanisms provided by IBM i to ward off the attack.
In this white paper we hope to explain why the decision to secure- or not secure – data on the IBM i needs to be a business decision ... not a technical decision.
Something is preventing management from understanding the need to secure the electronic data. So let's explore why we think this happens....
For every breach that makes headlines, dozens of other organizations have had data stolen or corrupted by hackers—or even their own users. Cyberthreats become more sophisticated every year, raising the importance of proper security controls.The 2017 State of IBM i Security Study proves once more that many organizations running the IBM i operating system rely on system settings that leave data vulnerable. This is true across all industries for businesses large and small. Weak passwords, lax system auditing, and overly privileged users leave your server vulnerable to internal and external threats. A data breach caused by a cybercriminal or a negligent insider can cause irreparable damage to an organization of any size. The annual State of IBM i Security Study strives to help executives, IT managers, system administrators, and auditors understand the full extent of IBM i security exposures and how to correct them quickly and effectively.

IBM has provided us with two powerful and very exciting security enhancements in the last two versions of IBM i.
Scott Forstie of IBM joins Carol Woodbury to demonstrate and describe the V7R2 feature called Row and Column Access Control (RCAC), which extends how you define which users have access to specific rows in a database file. RCAC also provides a way to mask data for all or selected users.
The recently released V7R3 adds Authority Collection. Authority Collection provides organizations and vendors with the ability to know exactly what authority is required to perform a task, eliminating the guesswork. Gone is the need to set *PUBLIC authority on database files to *ALL or to automatically grant service accounts *ALLOBJ special authority just because you're unsure of what authority is required.
Watch Scott and Carol as they discuss these and other new security features delivered in V7R2 and V7R3.

For Schools
Our younger generation is the most valuable asset we have for a sustainable LA. When schools involve their students in a quality environmental education, everyone wins. In fact, the benefits extend beyond creating a cleaner healthier world. Studies have shown that environmental education can have significant benefits to a student's overall learning experience across all academic disciplines.
Whether it's creating a greener campus, or participating in service learning, TreePeople can support your school through a comprehensive program.
When we plant trees on a campus and maintain them so they are healthy, they can do their part to create a beautiful, shady environment conducive to learning.
To learn how to plant trees on your campus we offer guides and workshops.
School campuses are part of the urban water cycle. Learn how to prevent the water from becoming polluted runoff and instead, redirect it into rain gardens and more.
We offer guides and workshops.
On most schools the land consists mainly of concrete and asphalt, as well as lawn and dirt areas that are compacted by foot traffic. Removing concrete or converting dirt and lawn areas into gardens supports healthy soil and creates outdoor classrooms.

Grey tote bag M / L
Medium and large tote bags with two short handles are both fashionable and practical.
Weaving together timeless Nordic design and Kenyan handcrafts, each unique item is work of hands and hearts: beautiful, extremely durable and easy to keep clean.
Material: Sisal with short leather handles.
We are certified member of World Fair Trade organization and each of our bags is signed by the artisan who made it.
The Swahili word for "kiondo" means basket.
Kiondo bags and baskets are a Kenyan tradition, weaved with a special traditional technique. The knowledge of weaving is passed on from one generation to another. Each piece is handmade by skilled women in rural villages - our Team Kenya.
The core idea behind Mifuko stands in its name: in Swahili, 'mifuko' means pocket. With Mifuko, everyone is left with something valuable in their pocket. For the artisans in Kenya, it's fair pay, empowerment, and less dependence on unpredictable farming as a source of income. For Mifuko customers (that's you!), it's a unique piece that weaves together classic Nordic design, traditional Kenyan handcraft, and the story of a strong, independent woman whose signature you can find on the label.
As each bag is handmade the size and shape may vary. The basket diameter and/or height may be about 3 cm / 1" smaller or larger than indicated in the size chart below.
|15 cm / 6"
|16 cm / 6.3"
|24 cm / 9.5"
|21 cm / 8.3"

LAS VEGAS – Once again there was no red carpet at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, but the now traditional orange one rolled out in its place at the MGM Grand proved just as able to support a glittering array of Nashville's hottest talent. On a night highlighted by the presence of country music's rising young stars and a generation of legendary figures, Shure endorser Brad Paisley took home male vocalist honors for the second straight year, while Carrie Underwood, who opened the show with "I Don't Even Know His Last Name," received her second consecutive female vocalist trophy.
Shure endorser Rascal Flatts also won the award for Top Vocal Group (their sixth in a row) and was honored with an ACM/Home Depot Humanitarian Award. Perhaps no surprise among the proceedings was bigger than when Miranda Lambert's sophomore album Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was picked as Album of the Year, beating out other superstar offerings from both Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney.
"I was sitting right behind Kenny Chesney, and I just don't feel right taking this," Lambert said from the stage. "I'm a songwriter, and I poured my heart and soul into this album. Thank you for appreciating it."
ATK Audiotek of Burbank, Calif., provided sound reinforcement for the star-studded gathering, supplying a total of 18 channels of Shure UHF-R wireless systems on a stage dominated almost exclusively by Shure SM58s and KSM9s.
"Shure's UHF-R wireless was clearly the frontrunner on the show," production mixer J. Mark King said, revealing the clear winner in his own circle. "The support from Shure continues to be a vital part of this show as well as the audio quality that's delivered to the audience."
Paisley was just one of several Shure endorsers who performed at this year's ACMAs. Others included Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes, Montgomery Gentry, and Toby Keith. In addition, other artists who chose Shure gear for their performances during the evening included Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, and Rodney Atkins.

Let's say I initially have an open, empty, soda can. I then turn it over and lower it into a bowl of water, and then release it. Obviously water rises to some level in the cup and then there is air at the top of the can, which was initially the bottom.
Are there only three forces on the can once it reaches equilibrium?
Buoyant force from the water (up)
Weight of the can itself (down)
Air pressure inside the can acting on the water surface (down)
Let me know if all of these are right, otherwise my equation for total forces is...
F_b = mg + P where m is the mass of the can, and P is the air pressure in the cup

Richard WagnerComposer. Born 22 May 1813. Died 13 February 1883
Richard Wagner Biography (Wikipedia)
Wilhelm Richard Wagner ( VAHG-nər, (listen); 22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama. He described this vision in a series of essays published between 1849 and 1852. Wagner realised these ideas most fully in the first half of the four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).
His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs—musical phrases associated with individual characters, places, ideas, or plot elements. His advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, greatly influenced the development of classical music. His Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music.

Some kids just can't learn from a book. The Skeleflex T-Rex takes a hands-on approach to teaching kids a simple lesson about archaeology, dinosaurs and playing God.
Each bone segment of the T-Rex snaps together with ball joints. When completed, the skeleton can be installed on a powered platform that brings it alive with stomping and thrashing action. Indeed, if dinosaurs ever roamed the Earth again in a real-life Jurassic Park then escaped to terrorise mankind, chances are the scientist that is responsible will have owned one of these as a kid.

Public Services
The aftermath of the financial crisis has seen sustained trends of narrower margins, reductions in leverage and balance sheets, higher capital requirements and increased regulation. As the banking sector prepares for full implementation of Basel III, it is indeed facing a "new normal".
data2impact has a long history of serving clients in the banking sector in both Europe and North America, as well as in emerging markets.
Example projects
We developed a credit monitoring tool that helped an emerging markets bank manage risks associated with its nationwide portfolio of loans.
Using our rapid application development approach, we built a capability benchmark tool allowing easy reporting of key performance data to twenty thousand employees.
The world – though not necessarily a safer place – is spending less money on defence. This trend is conspicuous not least in Europe and North America, where government budgets are under increased pressure and scrutiny. As a result, our clients are continuously seeking ways to generate more "bang for the buck", by saving intelligently and increasing operational effectiveness.
Having worked with defence sector companies and military authorities of major NATO powers, data2impact understands deeply how the defence and security industry works and what it means to the wider community.
Example projects
With the UK Ministry of Defence, we developed a supply chain performance management tool which is used at the highest level to provide weekly and monthly performance management information on the UK Joint Supply Chain.
Several challenges present themselves to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries – from the "patent cliff", increased pressure on pricing, demand for generics and heightened regulatory activity to massive growth in emerging markets, changing demographics and rising incidences of chronic diseases. Although the overall outlook for the sector is positive, the successful strategies of the past are not necessarily valid in the future.
data2impact understands the industry, having delivered over the years a number of projects for a variety of clients - from Big Pharma to niche healthcare providers, from hospitals to national health services.
Example projects
With pricing models we help pharmaceutical companies manage the pricing process "top-down", by analyzing the global pricing process in the context of reference pricing and parallel trade. For new launches, this approach helps clients maximize the value of the product.
Changing demographics, increased cost pressure, reconfiguration of hospitals – a detailed demand forecast for all hopsitals in a regioned allowed detailed planning for the long-term allocation of resources.
In the present-day economy, insurers – like other financial service providers – have to cope with a fragile recovery, falling investment yields and increased regulation. In addition, changing climate patterns may cause natural disasters to occur more frequently and with more damage.
data2impact has significant track record in the insurance sector, particularly in Germany.
Example projects
For a major German insurer, we created a Life insurance operational benchmark tool, facilitating an automated approach to competitor analysis.
Logistics clients are faced with significant challenges as a result of the financial crisis, with activity in e.g. many parts of Europe still below 2007 levels. In a world where solution providers have plenty capacity and profit margins are razor-thin, operational effectiveness, customer satisfaction and innovation become key to survival.
Our experts have a profound understanding of the global logistics industry and global supply chains across air, sea, road and rail transport.
Example projects
In an almost borderless world, where capital, know-how, components and raw materials can be moved around cheaply, developments in the manufacturing industry must be assessed and understood at a global level. Whether contemplating future strategies or managing the current supply chain, our clients realize the importance of trends such as the fast growth in emerging market middle classes or the shale gas boom and re-shoring activities in the US.
Our experience spans the entire manufacturing value chain from raw materials and innovation through supply chain management to sales. We have worked with leading global manufacturers in several sub-sectors, including automotive, FMCG and medical devices.
Example projects
Building a dedicated program tracking database for a global cost reduction initiative, we helped a client steer a complex program involving 27 locations.
Public Services in developed countries are under immense pressure from disadvantageous demographics exacerbated by economic malaise. It has long been clear that e.g. public health care services and retirement programs must adapt to this reality. In order to avoid the kind of cost cutting that "hurts", politically and socially, politicians and administrators are looking for ways to do things smarter and align incentives among stakeholders.
At data2impact, we are well-positioned to help the public sector provide more with less, given our experience with applying a bottom line focused analytical mindset and comprehensive toolbox to complex problems such as resource allocation and performance management.
Example projects
Through Project portfolio monitoring we helped a country track all current road building projects, providing detailed reports on progress, budget and spending.
For an international health care organization, we created a flexible Scorecard for national healthcare performance that could be customized to many countries. It provides an intuitive heatmap to decision makers.
Following the spectacular boom in the 2000s, global shipping is currently going through an industry downturn, the focus having generally shifted from growth and new investments to cost awareness and balance sheet concerns (with deviations from this trend in certain specialized segments, e.g. LNG, off-shore and Jones Act tankers).
Our consultants possess a broad industry knowledge from shipyards to end-user transportation demand, with analysis and modelling experience from the major segments: container vessels, dry bulk, crude tankers, product tankers and LNG.
Example projects
Through daily reporting of P&L movements, market exposures and risks we enable shipping operations teams, chartering departments and risk managers to measure and follow up on their key processes with very short delays.
This rapid feedback cycle, made possible by automated reporting solutions, has boosted both efficiency and quality for our clients.
With dynamic simulation of shipping markets, we offer a unique modelling capability aimed at long-term charterers, shipowners and would-be investors in shipping.
By analyzing and modelling the dynamics of global shipping, we help clients understand the likely range of industry scenarios and how this affects the attractivenesss of any strategy or major asset decision.
In spite of the recent crisis and current global macro-economic uncertainty, advances in technology continue to provide business opportunities for the telecoms industry. The massive growth in mobile internet usage and number of devices connected, along with cloud and 4G services, provide ample growth potential along the chain from manufacturers to network and content providers.
data2impact has over the years delivered several analysis tools to clients in the telecommunications sector, in particular in the B2C space (see below).
Example projects
Through churn monitoring we helped a major European mobile operator understand the client base better and focus the sales effort where it generates the best customer relationships.
The key input from data2impact to any project is the analytical mindset, technical skills and hands-on experience that we possess. We are experts in phrasing and tackling the client's problems in analytical and technical terms, even where we have no knowledge of the specific domain or even industry concerned.
Please see examples below of work delivered for clients outside the industries described above.

It's Monday and you know what - it already sucks. So if yours is sucking too - here's an EASY recipe that you can make tonight and then at least your Tuesday will be awesome!!!
It was a really easy recipe - powdered sugar, cocoa, egg whites, vanilla and chocolate chips. It's a tough stir though. The recipe called for 3 large egg whites - my eggs were small and after 3 - it was still a powdery mess. I decided to try for a 4th egg white and magic happened! Suddenly it became this thick, gloppy, ooey gooey texture! It was like the slime from "You Can't Do That On Television".
After glopping the dough onto the parchment paper - it didn't look too appetizing - but I had gone this far - might as well bake them!
Here's the finished product...they better taste good.
I have to say - this might have been the best cookie I've ever eaten. It is EXTREMELY rich - like the chocolate factor is OVERLOAD!!!!! But they're moist and chewy and just really damn good.
Also - a few notes as far as the recipe goes:
* they call for fancy cocoa - I used plain old Toll House cocoa (yeah - Toll House makes cocoa now and it comes in a plastic tub - very convenient for sealing it back up)
* they call for espresso powder - couldn't find that at Kroger, didn't use
* they call for fancy gluten-free vanilla extract - isn't all vanilla extract gluten-free? If not, oops.
* I did add the chocolate chips - I used Nestle Toll House dark chocolate since it's what I had.
* I also threw in some peanut butter chips because they were left over - really good addition as well.
Flourless Fudge Cookies
Ultra-chewy, rich chocolate cookies with no added fat? And no gluten? Impossible! But it's true: these flourless chocolate cookies get their texture from egg whites, and their flavor from cocoa powder (which represents the only fat in the recipe). Plus they're easy to make: Just stir together a few simple ingredients, scoop onto a pan, and bake for 8 minutes. You won't believe the delicious result.
