Protecting Grey Space IFSEC 2018
Design Security Ltd are proud to have been asked by the Security Commonwealth to take part in a panel discussion at this year's IFSEC 2018.
The discussion panel were introduced by Frank Gardner the BBC's Security Correspondent.
Chris Aldous looked at the issues created by the current planning process in relation to on 'grey space'. A key issue is that planners do not currently have strategic considerations around security as part of the brief for developments. The argument is that if you want to design safe and secure spaces then thought on how the private and public spaces interact needs to be developed.
Chris was joined by the following panellists
Joe Connell – Praemunitus Ltd
Nick Aldworth – Metropolitan Police
Simon Whitehouse – SGW Consulting
Chris Aldous, Director of Design Security Ltd and Board Director of ASIS UK Chapter says 'It is an honour to be asked to be involved in the discussion on how design can influence the lives of the people who use our urban spaces'. Thank you to Dave Cooke of the Security Commonwealth and ASIS UK Chapter 208 for the invitation.
If you or the organisation that your work for would like advice or assistance on selecting the right mix of security please contact Design Security Ltd, Wales's only Independent Security Design Consultancy at email@example.com

CHICO — Singer-songwriter Scott McKenzie sang the line "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair."
For the players on the Chico State softball team, if they were going to sweep San Francisco State, they made sure to don some flowers in their hair.
The defending NCAA West Regional champion Wildcats swept a doubleheader with the visiting Gators notching a 3-1 win in the first game then pulling off a 10-4 rout in the nightcap Friday afternoon in the team's home opener at University Softball Field.
Nearly every player wore a yellow or a black flower, an accessory that was made by a parent last season.
"There's no better feeling than coming home and just having a lot of energy. We're so excited to be home and get things done right away," said second baseman Wendy Cardinali. "Everyone was counting down the days until we could step on this field again."
The cold temperatures continued to drop as the day went on but the Wildcats were able to escape the rain.
Amanda Flores broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning when she singled through the left side to drive in Kristin Worley. The next batter, Bailey Akins, doubled down the left-field line to give Chico State a 3-1 lead which held on for the win.
Brooke Larsen, a sophomore transfer from the Academy of Art in San Francisco, earned the win in the opener. Larsen allowed one run on five hits with no walks and six strikeouts.
"(Larsen) has a great demeanor. She's very powerful. She's makes really quick pitch-to-pitch adjustments. She has gnarly spin and is good at hitting her spots," said catcher Claire Wayne. "I really enjoyed catching her."
In the second game, the Gators used back-to-back doubles to take a 1-0 lead in the first inning.
Chico State, however, put up a four-spot in the third inning, an offensive barrage that was highlighted by three home runs.
Cardinali sent a leadoff solo shot to left for Chico State to lead 2-1. Two batters later, Wayne sent a foul pop up over to the third base side that was dropped. The next pitch, Wayne sliced a line drive home run over the left field fence to plate two more runs. Bailey Akins followed with a home run of her own, this time a shot to right center to make it a 5-1 lead.
"She made a mistake and I took advantage of it. I should have been out," Wayne said about the bobbled foul ball. "I didn't even know it was going out. It was such a line drive. It felt awesome."
The home runs by Wayne and Akins were both their 17th career home runs, putting both in a tie for third in most home runs in the program.
"It was something I kind of needed because I'm struggling offensively right now," Wayne said. "I'm hitting but I'm not finding gaps."
San Francisco State got two runs back in the fourth and another in the fifth to get within 5-4 and chase starter Naomi Monahan out of the game.
In relief, Sam Mulock tossed 2 1/3 shutout innings, allowing one hit, one run and one strikeout.
In the sixth, Chico State busted the game open by putting up five runs. Worley had an RBI double, Ari Marsh added a two-run single and Flores drove in a pair of runs with a base hit to give the Wildcats a comfortable 10-4 cushion.
Marsh collect two hits and three RBIs, Flores went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and Wayne had two RBIs to finish out the second game.
Chico State (4-1, 2-1 California Collegiate Athletic Association) will wrap up the series with a doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday with the weather permitting.
The score
Chico State 3-10, SF State 1-4
Up next: SF State at Chico State (2), 11 a.m., Saturday.

Many are not yet aware, but with these higher vibrational streams, these HIGHER REALM ENERGIES, these DNA upgrades, these LIGHTBODY/ Crystalline Body Activations, you ARE becoming more transparent.
WE speak of transparency as being able to see that which has not been visible. Most focus on the "truths" out there, yet this applies to SO many other things too. For the "truths" out there are a manifestation of what exists within. For as you see where you have compromised your own self, your own being, and you work to come further into alignment WITHIN, then "THAT" OUT THERE continues to shift, change, match your frequency and the old physical shall continue to fall away.
Yet, you cannot look in the mirror yet and truly see that your physical also is becoming TRANSPARENT. YOU are evolving as ENERGETIC BEings AGAIN, and as you do, as you become LIGHTer, literally, your entire BEing becomes more translucent.
Others too shall now come to see this. They shall see the glow that radiates from within you. Not only, as in the "past" by your bright smile or happy face, yet an actual LIGHT that radiates from within you OUT.
These energies that you receive, raise your internal & entire vibrational frequency. This in turn tunes you to the energy that you are. As you release, you lighten. Your physical changes to match these new vibrations. Your human eyes further integrate with your energetic eyes that sees more colors, vibrancy & light. Those things that you could not see shall continue to become visible. The realities that you have always known inside, yet longed to become, shall truly now come to BE. It is up to you to keep making it your priority. For you see, when your vibration is of the utmost to you, then all out there shall come to match that which exists within you.
See yourself for all that you truly are. Hold the light. Allow your mind to release all that is no longer you. And all out there shall come to match this FOR you.

Information and Support
Everything we provide, share, and offer, is a way for each to choose consciously what each values as important and worth, in supporting and accelerating their own heart-opening experiences here, as well as further activating their own LightBody too. Each one of us does this differently, yet to understand that all is important and serves a much bigger picture/purpose, we start to understand that Energetic Exchange is a way to respect, reciprocate, gift and in-turn support the vastness of what we receive ENERGETICALLY and that all of these things are just tools and ways to activate, therefore it's not about a "thing" anymore.
All are here because they receive something, through the Light Encoded sharings and various ways to activate, elevate and expand by way of opening our Universal/Cosmic heart/ higher mind chambers and Gateways, often in seemingly unorthodox ways. By combining various activation tools and utilizing each for the purposes of stimulating and awakening pure beauty, kindness and a deep sacred connection from deep within, all of these "things" are just something that we each consciously choose to use. The value is not the value of a "thing", yet instead the value of what we decide is our reasonable exchange in order to receive heart-opening Soul activations, which is determined by how we utilize these "things". The value is determine by you, how you value and place worth on your your own Awakening Soul journey, and what tools you feel will most benefit and assist you with this. The value is the value you place upon yourself, your energy and what you choose to utilize to accelerate your own awakening journey and current (LightBody) phases you are in.
The tool itself doesn't matter. Your openness, your making a conscious choice and deciding what's important and how you desire to do this for yourself, as what "things" you feel will most benefit you in opening your heart. Your conscious choice is a very important part of the your own Awakening processes here.
Through our own higher states of love-consciousness, we take the focus off of the thing and we shift it to what we feel will most assist us with our current processes and phases. We shift the value off of the "thing" and onto our energy, our vibration, our LightBody, and what we feel will assist us with opening our hearts to/through more beauty, unity, kindness and love.
Our Entire Value System evolves, as we start to value ourselves and our Light/Energy, we start to value the energy, the work, the contributions of others too.
Here, each is supporting ENERGETICALLY the work, the programs, services, those working in Dedicated Service to create, share and provide the vastness of all that is offered to support, inspire, awaken, assist and consciously evolve.
Each is contributing to a much higher purpose, the Evolution of a much Higher Consciousness HUmanity. Your CONSCIOUS EXCHANGE becomes a part of this. ♥
In essence, what you are investing in, is your own SoulBody/LightBody and you are consciously choosing (free-will) activation tools to work with, in order to further assist you with the acceleration of this. You are exercising a conscious exchange of Love Energy (In form) in order to do this, which will in-turn assist with fulfilling higher purposes and Service to HUmanity roles here.

Facts about Mosquitoes in Newcastle
Every human being would hate mosquitoes. They are disease-carrying flying insects that feed on blood whether from humans or animals. They are considered the deadliest insects in the entire planet. Considering the massive number of deaths they cause. They have been notorious for carrying deadly diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, encephalitis, and Zika. Not only that, your dogs could be at risk as they carry heartworm that can cause your pet's death.
Mosquitoes belong to the family of nematocerid flies (flies that are elongated with thin, segmented antennae and are aquatic). Scientific studies on mosquito fossils reveal that mosquitoes started to exist a million years ago.
Mosquitoes fly slower than most of the other insects. They can only fly with an average speed of 1-1.5 miles per hour. Their wings can beat 300 to 600 times per second producing that annoying buzzing sound. When they come near you for a chance to bite. Interestingly, when meeting, male and female mosquito lovers are capable of synchronizing their beats to the same speed.
Lifecycle and Breeding of Mosquitoes - Mosquito Removal Newcastle
They have four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult or imago. The egg hatches and becomes a larva that continues growing to become a pupa Then leaves the water as an adult. Their first three stages take 5-14 days and are all in water until they become adults.
Female mosquitoes would lay their eggs on stagnant water, near the water edge, or some would have it on aquatic plants. They choose their aquatic breeding place based on their ecological adaptability. While most of them are in fresh water, some also breed on salt water.
Other mosquitoes prefer to breed in phytotelmata or in a natural reservoir on plants like in hollow trunks and in the leaf-axils. They are considered as the most dangerous disease-carrying insects. An example is the Aedes which is the famous carrier of dengue and yellow fever. They can also be passing disease-causing bacteria from one person to another.
Adult mosquitoes can live up to 5-6 months under perfect environmental conditions. Even their eggs have a long survival capacity. They may dry out but can still hatch within eight months. Water is everything to them and so they can breed in places where there is even a little stagnant water. Like in cans, old tires, and puddles.
Why Do Mosquitos Bite? Mosquito Removal Newcastle
Not all mosquitoes bite humans. The need for their females for protein for reproduction is the only reason why they strike for blood. Males would avoid humans and would get nourishment from the nectar of flowers. Some mosquitoes also feed on blood from animals rather than people. They are the Culiseta melanura that bites birds and Uranotaenia sapphirina that feed on reptiles and amphibians.
The favourite blood sources of mosquitoes are hosts with type O blood category. Those with massive skin bacteria, bodies with high temperature, heavy breathers, and pregnant women. They find their victims by sensing carbon dioxide produced by animals and people. As soon as the female mosquito picks up carbon dioxide, it will fly back and forth until it finds the source.
Helpful Tips to Fight Mosquitoes
- Keep all containers such as garbage bins from accumulating water. Holes should be drilled at the bottom of the container to allow water or any liquid to penetrate downwards allowing no water left stagnant for mosquitoes to breed.
- Clean the property of water-holding containers such as tin cans, old tires, plastic bags, flower pots, flower pots saucers, or anything that can contain even a small amount of water.
- Search within and around your property after every rain for areas that do not dry within 4 days like drainage and puddles. You may need to regrade these areas or make alterations to remove or carry the water away.
- Swimming pools should be regularly cleaned and chlorinated even when not in use as these could be a huge breeding place for mosquitoes.
- Consult pest experts for a complete and effective solution to keep your property safe from the dangerous mosquitoes.

Have you watched Tidying up with Marie Kondo, the newest Netflix sensation of the year? The show follows tidying consultant Kondo as she helps families of compulsive hoarders who are in dire need of some decluttering.
As much as we're obsessed with the Kondo aesthetic, we know how hard it can be to follow through with her KonMari method. That's why Spectrum, inspired by Kondo's organizational witchcraft, has created a guide to not only decluttering physical spaces like your dorm room but also your mental and digital spaces, two equally important areas people tend to overlook.
Kondo's main philosophy is that you should discard everything that does not spark joy in the life you envision for yourself. If an item does not spark joy, she suggests that you should thank the object for its service and let it go. Kondo also stresses that you should follow a specific order when you start tidying up: Start with clothing, then move on to books, papers, miscellaneous items, and finally, sentimental items.
Starting with clothing should be an easy step since a closet cleanse is something we all usually do twice a year to refresh our summer and winter closets. Kondo recommends piling up all your clothing in one area, going through the pile item by item, and then deciding if each piece is worth keeping or not. You'll have to talk your roommate(s) into leaving the room for a couple hours for this one because you'll definitely need some space to go through everything. Even better, you can rally them to help you sort through your clothes in exchange for gifting them some pieces that no longer spark joy for you.
Sorting through books is where it starts getting complicated. We can all understand that it's pretty hard to justify keeping your physics textbook or Lit Hum novels when they certainly don't spark any joy in your life. However, Kondo would argue that they serve a purpose in your current "student" lifestyle; they must spark some kind of joy in you because they bring you one step closer to the ideal postgraduate lifestyle we are all striving for.
When Kondo talks about organizing miscellaneous items, I don't think she's referring to the slew of half-full dining cups on your desk, random cutlery, and junk food sitting around in your room. Although stealing spoons from John Jay and binge eating a tub of ice cream during a Netflix marathon might bring you joy, does it really reflect the lifestyle you want to be leading in the new year? As you cleanse your room of these miscellaneous items, make sure to organize your desk as you go. You'd be surprised as to how much surface area is actually available to you now that you've cleaned off that heap of random stuff.
Sentimental Items
Sentimental items are a must-have in a college dorm room, especially considering how far some of us are from home. However, too many sentimental items may chip away at your morale as you start thinking more and more about home. While we're not telling you to throw away your century-old family heirloom, it only makes sense to hold onto things you distinctly remember or that bring you happiness at the moment. Sentimental clutter can have a big impact on your emotional and mental health, so this is one of the most important steps in Kondo's decluttering routine!
Studying at Columbia while also juggling extracurriculars and work can make you feel like your mind is in overdrive. Just like your college dorm room, your mind needs some periodic decluttering.
One important step to help you declutter your brain is to set goals and prioritize what matters the most to you. The KonMari method can be perfectly applied here since Kondo emphasizes the need to take time to envision the ideal lifestyle you want to have before starting to organize anything. Just like organizing your physical space is essential, so too is organizing your thoughts and setting your priorities straight. It will allow you to redefine your goals and hopefully make the path towards your future a bit clearer.
As Kondo teaches, decluttering also means being decisive—clutter, both physical and mental, grows due to delayed decisions. Delaying calls, emails, or assignments will only build up more stress. The two-minute rule can be helpful in these types of situations; if a task can be done within two minutes, then do it right away. This will clear up a good deal of time and anxiety from your daily schedule.
Another tip that many find useful is to start journaling. Keeping a journal allows you to set aside a certain amount of time every day to help you relieve stress by taking time to think through your day and filter out any intrusive or negative thoughts.
If you've been ignoring that "Storage Almost Full" message popping up on your phone or computer for months now, it's time to come to terms with the fact that you'll have to organize your drive, photos, and folders sometime soon. Think of all the old screenshots, textbook copies, presentations, and worksheets you have on your computer that you haven't opened in years. There's so much space to recover.
To declutter your computer, you should open a folder and sort files by when they were last opened. Then, you can scroll down and delete all the documents and pictures that you definitely don't need anymore. Alternatively, you can invest in an external drive to store your old documents and photos if you really can't bear the thought of getting rid of all those precious files.
For your phone, decluttering means not only sorting through your social media and other miscellaneous apps but also going through all your pictures and choosing what should stay and what can be deleted. On an iPhone, you can go to your General settings and click on iPhone Storage to see how much space each app takes up as well as when you last opened it. Android users can also use Files by Google, an app that helps you clean up space and back up certain items to the Cloud. For picture storage, the KonMari method can be useful since you can easily filter pictures based on whether or not they bring you joy!

Florida's state and local governments stand to get up to $13.7 billion in federal stimulus money spread over three budget years, including the current one that runs through June 30.
This year's budget, though, may drop into the red by more than $300 million, Alexander said. He also expects a $5 billion budget gap next year.
"No single solution will solve that level of deficit," Alexander said. "There is little double that further budget reductions will be necessary."
Lawmakers cut current-year spending by more than $1 billion as part of a $2.5 billion deficit-elimination package Gov. Charlie Crist signed into law after a special legislative session last month. The plan also tapped reserves, raided trust funds, shifted dollars around within the budget and raised traffic fines.
Additional adjustments probably likely will be required during the regular session to avoid ending the budget year with a constitutionally prohibited deficit, Alexander said.
Time for Larry Summers to spend more time with his family... I don't blame the Ben Nelson's of the world for this -- of course moderates will have wanted to cut the size of the package to appear moderate -- the problem was that the initial size of the stimulus was way too small. Obama should have made it $1.3 trillion, and then let the moderates shrink it...

– Mizkan Euro's first NPD since acquiring Branston
Branston, one of the UK's best loved brands, has announced the re-launch of its relish range with five exciting flavours available from June 2014. These are: tomato and red pepper; spicy tomato; caramelised red onion; smoky tomato and chipotle, as well as a limited edition Brazilian sweet and spicy relish that will coincide with this year's football sporting activities.
The new range launch is Mizkan Euro's first NPD since acquiring Branston in February 2013. Creatively, the marketing and communications activity for relish will fall within the 'Make It Special' brand campaign, and together with Sweet Pickle, will play an important role in encouraging Britain to 'Get Making' with Branston. The new packaging, designed by Parker Williams, is based on current and lapsed Branston user's feedback. The serving suggestions aim to educate and inspire users, while the new flavours tap into current food trends.
Roll-out of the relishes will be supported by a £1m above the line campaign to capitalise on the summer BBQ season and the upcoming football activity. Outdoor activity will be structured into two bursts across June and July and will consist of 6 sheet poster activity outside major multiples, as well as digital POS 6 sheets outside 215 Tesco stores nationwide.
From the 12 June there will also be innovative digital activity in the form of a proximity texting campaign with responsive and weather activated media, aiming to prompt purchase close to store. Weve and Facebook will also feature temperature activated creative that will remind consumers to buy the products when the weather is hot. All proximity testing will take place within half a mile of a major multiple.
All media activity was planned and executed by UM London and is designed to send people to purchase the relishes during good weather to coincide with the barbecue season. All creative was designed by mcgarrybowen.
The activity aims to maintain the relationship with the traditional relish customer aged between 28 and 54 years old across all life stages[1] while also targeting the lapsed relish consumer. This group is mainly young families who have defaulted to ketchup[2] and have forgotten what makes relishes special.
Victoria Adams, Branston Brand Manager at Mizkan Euro, said: "The re-launch of our relish products represents an exciting time for us at Mizkan Euro. Relish sales have dropped off in recent times with the products seemingly losing some of their relevance, so now is a perfect opportunity to start targeting the consumer at point of purchase. Branston is the brand leader in relish with nearly 50% market share[3] so there is a real chance to reconnect with our customers and remind them that relishes can be a more exciting choice than the typical table sauce.
"We are very much looking forward to consumers relishing the summer months with our new products for their BBQs and picnics, and, in turn, seeing our segment grow."
Branston Relish was bought by Mizkan Euro in February 2013 as part of the company's £92.5m acquisition of Premier Foods' sweet pickle and table sauces business.

Individual thermal control is important for handling individual differences in thermal preference. Several studies have shown that comfort, health and productivity in offices can be improved by individual thermal control. Local controls for temperature are commonly available in modern office buildings. However, office occupants are often still dissatisfied with thermal environments and control options.
The overall aim of the work is to improve office occupants' control over room temperature by improving the usability of interfaces of heating and cooling systems. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed to study office occupants as users of room temperature controls. The work started with qualitative interviews taken in actual context, in the offices of the participants. Twenty-seven office occupants were asked to show and tell us how they use the controls in offices. The problems with thermostats were found to be diverse and fundamental. Office occupants do not always even know they have a possibility to individually control the room temperature, because the device is not recognised at all, or the purpose of the device remains unclear. Although the room thermostats in offices are simple, symbols in the user interface are often not understood correctly, and it is not always known whether the temperature control is operating or not. In general, users are not satisfied with the feedback they get from the systems. The main reason for many of the problems is that the systems are planned and constructed without a realistic view of their users, i.e. users are supposed to have knowledge they do not have.
Next, in a quantitative interview survey, users were studied with a large and nationally representative sample: 1 000 Finnish office occupants answered questions concerning the office environment. Additionally, to simulate the real use of thermostats, controlled experiments were taken. The quantitative interview survey and the controlled experiments revealed statistically significant differences between the genders: females tend to be more critical of their thermal environments and are more sensitive to both cold and hot room temperatures. It was also found in the quantitative interview survey that most of occupants have a false idea of the absolute Celsius values of comfortable room temperatures in the summer season, i.e. they think that in the summer season room temperatures should be lower than in the winter season.
Based on the results of the preceding user studies, user interface prototypes for room temperature control were next developed with a user-centred approach. Usability tests were conducted several times during the development process. The results show that novice users are able to use the user interface prototypes with high effectiveness, high efficiency and high satisfaction, and all the 42 participants in the usability tests would like to have that kind of user interface for their own use.
As the definitive result of the work, usability guidelines for room temperature controls were developed. The usability guidelines are based on the user research performed in this work and the experiences gained from the user interface development. The usability guidelines are: (1) keep occupants in the loop, (2) visibility, identification and reachability of temperature controls, (3) shared temperature controls with heating and cooling systems, (4) acceptable default settings, (5) simplicity of interface, (6) clear way to adjust room temperature, (7) advice on comfortable room temperatures, (8) clear and sufficient feedback after adjustment, (9) fast effect on room temperature, (10) adequate effect on room temperature, (11) informative help, (12) aesthetic design and (13) females as test users in real-life situations. The usability guidelines help designers to create user interfaces that enable office occupants to adjust the room temperature of their own office with high effectiveness, high efficiency and high satisfaction.
This thesis consists of an overview and of the following 5 publications:
Keywords: room temperature, thermal comfort, user interface, usability, usability guidelines

Let me explain my title
Two of my top 10 films of 2014 were seen very early in the year, but had already been on wide release in just about every other country apart from the UK in 2013. So by the time I saw them, they had already taken their plaudits, appeared on many published 'Best of' lists for 2013, and been Oscar nominated, so on that basis it feels like they don't belong in my list.
However, technically, they do. Therefore I'm allowing myself a top 12 this year so that I can do justice to a couple of other films which shouldn't be overlooked.
Click on the film title to see a longer opinion, and if you're interested in all my 2014 films ranked in order, you'll find the list here. The top 12 and bottom 5 are in order, but the stuff in between is more of a general reflection than anything precise.
Number 10 – '71
Very impressive and tense story of a young soldier who gets left behind in a Catholic part of Belfast in 1971 when his battalion's activity goes wrong. Jack O'Connell makes sure that we're rooting for the young soldier with a convincing performance.
Number 9 – The Imitation Game
Suppressed and repressed Benedict Cumberbatch cracks the Enigma code and shortened the war. I know many feel this only scratches the surface of the complexities of Alan Turing (or maybe scratches the wrong surface), but this film finally made me realise what a talent Cumberbatch is.
Number 8 – Locke
A film about a man driving to London at night while discussing concrete shouldn't be this good. But when that man is Tom Hardy, there is nothing to worry about.
Number 7 – Pride
Uplifting, sad, full of energy and nostalgia all at once, this really hit a spot – had me laughing and crying all at once.
Number 6 – Nightcrawler
Creepy, insincere and manipulative Jake Gyllenhaal goes to extraordinary lengths to record crime on LA's streets and sell it to 24 hour news channels. Dark, tense and twisted, this is great viewing.
Number 5 – In Bloom
Two teenage girls find themselves growing up before their time in the civil-war affected Georgia of the 1990s – an absorbing watch.
= Number 4 – Who is Dayani Cristal?
Gael Garcia Bernal mixes the tireless work of a handful of Americans in identifying the hundreds of corpses of illegal migrants retrieved annually from the Arizona desert with Bernal himself, following the route of so many would-be migrants, starting from a village in Central America as they head north in search of meagre economic rewards.
= Number 4 – Her
One of my '2013' picks. Separated Man buys Operating System. Man and Operating System begin to form a deep relationship. No-one bats an eyelid. The near-future setting is close enough to reality to make it all seem eminently possible, and it's not an oppressive future – it's bright, friendly, and beautifully shot.
Number 3 – Frank
Even though Michael Fassbender spends most of this film with his own head stuck in a polystyrene one, this is a remarkable performance. A quite touching portrayal of mental illness, with a heartbreaking final scene which proves just how good Fassbender is.
Number 2 – Ida
You could freeze-frame at any point during this film and the result would be a beautiful photograph. Ida and Poland emerge from their past in stunning black & white.
= Number 1 – 12 Years a Slave
The second '2013' film. Director Steve McQueen has taken this difficult story and made it work on-screen. The beauty of the photography contrasts with the ugliness of the behaviour, and we are compelled to watch brutal scenes because they matter.
= Number 1 – Under The Skin
Scarlett Johansson is an alien prowling the streets of Glasgow in a white transit van, and is totally mesmerising. Beautiful, strange and seductive, it made me look at people through the eyes of an alien as I left the cinema. Amazing soundtrack, too.
Agree or disagree? Let me know – would love to know your top films of the year! You can find the whole list of 2014 films I saw this year ranked here on Letterboxd.

My first job as a brand new A&P back in 1973 was to re-cover a 1957 PA-22-150. My Dad and I then purchased it and flew it for 10 years.
I worked for that FBO as an A&P, flight instructor and charter pilot till 1994, when I bought him out. I then obtained my IA and ran that operation and managed the KEZI airport till May 2018. I'm still here as the "Assistant Manager", a nice title for the guy that mows the grass in the summer and pushes snow in the winter.
About 20 years ago I restored a J3 for a customer. When it was done, he sold it to me. I sold the Cub about a year ago, but got to keep flying it while it was based here. The new owners took it away about a month ago.
Soooo..... With nothing to fly, I purchased a local PA-15/17. I've been having a blast flying it!

Offensive Security Training presents - The Exploit Database. ReZoAnonymous #Anonymous #Video #AnonOps. Le manifeste du hacker. Le Manifeste du hacker (titré en anglais The Hacker Manifesto, ou The Conscience of a Hacker, « La Conscience d'un hacker ») est un petit article écrit le 8 janvier 1986, par le hacker Loyd Blankenship après son arrestation, sous le pseudonyme de « The Mentor ».
Publié pour la première fois dans le magazine électronique underground Phrack (Volume 1, Numéro 7, Phile 3 de 10), on peut de nos jours le trouver sur de nombreux sites web. Le Manifeste est considéré comme la pierre angulaire de la contre-culture hacker, et donne un aperçu de la psychologie des premiers hackers. Il affirme que les hackers choisissent cette activité parce que c'est un moyen pour eux d'apprendre, et à cause du sentiment fréquent de frustration causé par leur ennui à l'école. Il exprime aussi l'éveil d'un hacker réalisant son potentiel dans le domaine des ordinateurs. Un autre s'est fait prendre aujourd'hui, c'est partout dans les journaux. Je suis au collège ou au lycée.

Vendetta masks in UAE colours draw warning. Dubai: Police officials in Dubai have warned against wearing a mask that symbolises opposition to state authority during any celebrations connected to National Day and declared it illegal.
Any person found wearing Guy Fawkes masks, also known as 'Vendetta masks', risks police questioning as any object or action deemed to be instigating unrest or insulting the UAE is illegal, police officials said. The masks are a stylised depiction of a man who was behind the failed Gunpowder Plot to blow up the British House of Lords in London in 1605. The plot is commemorated with a fireworks displays in the UK on November 5 each year in an event that has come to be known as Guy Fawkes night. The masks being targeted at people in the UAE have mainly shown up on some online stores and are emblazoned with the colours of the UAE flag — red, white, green and black. They also feature the number 41 prominently — a reference to the 41st National Day on December 2. OMPI, ou anglais WIPO. Anonymous for President.

Le Bureau collecte et analyse les statistiques sur le crime du département de justice américain, notamment les attaques informatiques.

Anonymous is really CIA False Flag Operation. Cole Stryker: How to Write a Book About Anonymous. When I first posted a link to my new book's Amazon page on the website 4chan, the first response was, "Kindly kill yourself immediately.
" The discussion descended into unprintable threats and accusations from there. It wasn't unexpected. 4chan, a notorious online gathering place for pranksters, and the pseudo-politically minded "hacktivist" group called Anonymous that was born on the site, regularly antagonize those who discuss their subculture. Anonymous Book to Amazon: Hacktivist Authors Cozy Up to the Fire.
Gregg Housh and Barrett Brown's book about Anonymous, the online activism collective known for digital protests and acts of civil disobedience, has been sold to Amazon Publishing editorial director Julia Cheiffetz.
According to the notice on Publishers Marketplace, Anonymous: Tales From Inside The Accidental Cyberwar was "pitched as Barbarians at the Gate for the digital era" and tells "the story of the ordinary people who became hacker-activists and successfully brought down government agencies and multinational corporations around the world." Anonymous recently secured local notoriety by releasing the personal data of pepper spraying New York City Police officer Anthony Bologna.

Authority and Power within Anonymous. Excerpted from a very interesting analysis of Gabriela Coleman: "Who participates in Anonymous?
What connects the different faces? Where and how does authority lie, pool, and disperse? Technically, Anonymous is open to all and erects no formal barriers to participation. However there are forms of tacit and explicit knowledge, skills, and sympathies that lead some people and not others to politically engage in this domain. To grasp some of the power dynamics at play in Anonymous, it is imperative to address the technical architecture where many spend a significant time chatting and coordinating action: Internet Relay Chat.
Anonymous spies on FBI / UK Police hacking investigation conference call. A recording of a confidential conference call between the FBI and UK law enforcement officers at the Metropolitan Police has been released by Anonymous on the internet. The inference has to be that hackers were able to secretly access the call because they have compromised a police investigator's email account. The 16 minute conversation, which has been posted to a number of sites including YouTube, discusses ongoing investigations into hackers associated with Anonymous, AntiSec and LulzSec. It appears that the spied-upon conference call took place on January 17th, as a confidential email giving the call-in details and passcode has also been published on the net. The email, entitled "Anon-Lulz International Coordination Call", was sent to over 40 law enforcement officers in the USA, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, France and Sweden, although only a small number of people are on the conference call.

Local VFW gets a revamp on 'Bar Rescue'
Megan Abundis
September 10, 2019 10:46 PM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.— An Albuquerque Veterans of Foreign War post got a revamp after being featured on the Paramount Network TV show "Bar Rescue". Post 6216 was the first VFW post to be featured on the show.
Johnny Lopez with VFW Post 6216 said he had to hand over the bar's keys to the Bar Rescue crew for 36 hours.
"They did a lot for us," Lopez said. "The last time you interviewed us we were crying about the break-in—now we have tears of joy cause it got fixed up."
Two years ago, KOB 4 previously reported on a break-in that almost caused Post 6216 to shut down for good.
"Some of our doors, our locks—they took over $4,000."
Lopez added: "We got blessed and fortunate that we have this now."
Lopez said the Post is more than just a bar, but a place to escape and unwind.
"It serves as a place to get away, hang out, socialize with each other. We do sit here, make fun of each other, make fun of everybody and then we tell our stories. Sometimes it's therapeutic," Lopez said.
The Bar Rescue crew replaced everything in the VFW including the chairs, tables, pool table and lighting. They even remodeled the kitchen to make it an industrial kitchen and added new technology to the bar.
"The smart bar is really cool. It mixes the drinks for you, so you won't have overpouring," Lopez said.
Lopez said he hopes the upgrades will attract younger veterans to join the VFW.
"Our guys are all happy. Now they're here everyday," he said.

Your 100% Satisfaction is our 100% Guarantee!
You have a question? You have a problem?
To Get Rid of Pests – Call Steve Plank @ 573-368-3333
Bed Bug Treatment Options – Conventional VS. Heat
Conventional and Heat treatments have their advantages and disadvantages.
We at Plank Termite and Pest Control LLC have used both variations.
From our experience of over 18 years in the pest control business
we find that the conventional method works the best.
Not only does a Conventional Treatment do a better job at ridding you of bed bugs, but it is also much more cost effective – and a whole lot less invasive to you and your family.
Heat Treatment
* During heat treatments you have to bring the temperature of the structure up to 125 to 145 degree Fahrenheit. You then need to keep it there for at least 90 minutes. It takes 6 to 8 hours to accomplish this task, if you can get it there at all.
* Heavy preparation of your home. Standing furniture up on end, and in awkward positions so the heat can penetrate your furniture, bed etc.
* During the process some of your personal belongings could become broken or ruined by being melted from the extreme temperatures. With all the movement of your personal belongings some of them can be broken or misplaced.
* In most cases a chemical treatment will have to be applied anyway.
* Heat treatments leave no chemical residual, meaning any bed bugs that were not eliminated with the treatment can go on with their business like nothing every happened in the first place.
* Not discreet at all. Large trailers of equipment and several people on your property makes neighbors and competitors wonder what is going on.
* Mostly with all the expensive equipment and all the technicians needed to do the HEAT TREATMENTS THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE!
Conventional Treatment
* Less invasive on your family, home, and pets.
* At the most 2 technicians is all that is needed, and in most cases just one will do the job.
* Takes a quarter of the time that a heat treatment does.
* There will be a residual pesticide once the treatment is complete. If any bed bugs make it through the conventional treatment the residual will get to them even weeks after the treatment has been completed.
* Less chance of any of personal belongings being broken or misplaced.
* No worry of fire or damaging things in your home from the extreme temperatures.
*Inexpensive compared to heat treatments.

This love story started well before either of them knew it had. One evening in Oxford, England, a young English boy met a beautiful young American girl at college where he had just finished a meeting about traveling to the US for University. It just so happens Jonty was lucky enough to have met Sabrina, a sweet girl who offered her US number just in case he came over and needed help getting situated in the states. Jonty decided to make that trip across the pond to Sac State where he remembered that sweet girl whom had given him her number back in England. It did not take long for these two to start hanging out together and fall head over heels in love. The crazy thing is that this story does not end in the US. In fact as I write this on a train looking out upon the gorgeous fields of the English countryside I am reminded of the beauty of being willing to travel as far as humanly possible to be with the one you love. I am talking about the willingness to do things many think is crazy for the one you love. Travel across a river, a mountain, a state, quit a job, move across a continent, or in this case move halfway around the world. If you are willing to make that leap and follow your heart over anything else in life it tends to lead you to happiness that is more fulfilling than the love most people dream of. It gives you that smile across your face that can never be erased, since you have the one person you love more then anything by your side. It is this type of love that had Sabrina moving halfway around the world for the man she loves.
So I should tell you this is their engagement session with us, but they are married. I know, I know, but two weeks ago today these two were married in London. In fact we are just outside that very building here where they officially tied the knot. Sabrina's family made it out and they had an intimate affair for their families to celebrate together in London. They are having a reception in the US to celebrate as well in May. More about that later. We happened upon a few different weddings this Saturday in London. It was also one of the first sunny days of the year. All of us were amazed at the gorgeous warm weather that we had.
We really enjoyed getting to see how happy these two were standing on the same steps of the building in which they were wed.
Next we headed to their favorite place to go in the spring and summer in London, Regnts Park. This park is no small place to visit. We started overlooking "their spot" in the park. It is where they love to sit and watch people boating and enjoy time with each other and a bit of quiet from all the hustle and bustle of London.
Now this is that spot they were looking at across the pond. A cute little hill, sprinkled with daffodils. Who would not enjoy just hanging out in such a beautiful place?
I love that Sabrina made these cute little muffins. Too delicious!
I did mention that we saw a few weddings this day. The last one we saw was just the evidence of their celebration. It is so fun the things we find just walking around Regents Park. These were just on the ground hanging out near the Queen's garden. It just made sense to grab one, since these two are newlyweds and all.
Thank you so much Jonty and Sabrina for sharing with us just a little piece of your London. Seeing the places that have so many special meanings to you two meant the world to Lisa and I. Your transatlantic love story is one to remember. We can not wait to see you two at the end of May in Sacramento!

Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London on 28 May 1908 and was educated at Eton College before spending a formative period studying languages in Europe. His first job was with Reuters news agency, followed by a brief spell as a stockbroker. On the outbreak of the Second World War he was appointed assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence, Admiral Godfrey, where he played a key part in British and Allied espionage operations. After the war he joined Kemsley Newspapers as Foreign Manager of the Sunday Times, running a network of correspondents who were intimately involved in the Cold War. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and introduced James Bond, Special Agent 007, to the world. The first print run sold out within a month. Following this initial success, he published a Bond title every year until his death. His own travels, interests and wartime experience gave authority to everything he wrote. Raymond Chandler hailed him as 'the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England.' The fifth title, From Russia with Love, was particularly well received and sales soared when President Kennedy named it as one of his favourite books. The Bond novels have sold more than sixty million copies and inspired a hugely successful film franchise which began in 1962 with the release of Dr No starring Sean Connery as 007. The Bond books were written in Jamaica, a country Fleming fell in love with during the war and where he built a house, 'Goldeneye'. He married Anne Rothermere in 1952. His story about a magical car, written in 1961 for their only child Caspar, went on to become the well-loved novel and film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Fleming died of heart failure on 12 August 1964, aged fifty-six. www.ianfleming.com

Benford's Law is one of most intriguing properties within data science. Benford's Law states the first digit in a set of natural numbers is not evenly distributed. Instead, 30.1% of first digits begin with a one, 17.6% begin with a two, 12.5% begin with a three and so on. I created a SPSS Extension that makes graphing Benford's Law easy, and since that time I'm always testing it on new datasets, so I've tried it with the price and volume of a few crypto currencies.
First, I compared Benford's Law to the Bitcoin daily high price. The results of the daily high price do not closely match Benford's Law. That isn't too surprising – many parties have attempted to use Benford's Law with stock prices without much success.
Next I graphed Bitcoin Volume.
For this dataset, I used the Bitcoin volume on the Kraken Exchange. It's remarkable how well Bitcoin's Volume matches with the predicted value of Benford's Law. I tried this both for Bitcoin Volume measured in Bitcoin and again measured in USD and in both cases Benford's Law holds very well.
Next I tried some altcoins on a completely different exchange. Here I examined the volume of altcoins on the Polonix exchange.
It's amazing how well Benford's Law holds up across multiple exchanges and multiple cryptos. Of all these cryptos, only Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has a noticeable difference. As a follow-up, it'd be interesting to see if BCH shows similar behavior across other exchanges.
Because the match between Crypto Volume and Benford's Law is so strong, it may be used for fraud detection of fake cryptos or to verify exchange data. Presuming you can obtain the volume data, it would serve as a great sanity check to ensure the volume distribution has not been tampered with or entirely falsified.
This entire analysis was completed with SPSS Statistics Subscription.

Eco property is not a niche industry. A growing number of people are turning their focus to energy efficient land.
Purchasing renewable properties which save electricity is not only a style choice. The investment is realisable from creating efficiency alternatives and other power sources. The corporate motivation for sustainability is not about just the customer gain any longer.
Because of the rising needs of customers, it is apparent that individuals who opt not to buy such properties stand to lose a lot of money.
If you are still doubtful, here are some reasons why you ought to invest in green land in 2018-2019:
- Need for Sustainability
Ecological comprehension has expanded worldwide and people consider green observation approaches to help in their decision making. Customers, employees, and renters do not only have a look at sustainability in businesses but also they are taking a look at the sustainability of the construction themselves no matter how nice your water waterfront accommodation is, it won't fool their keen eye.
- Satisfy Sustainability policies
A variety of nations are employing safety and sustainability policies on construction developers and contractors in their use of cranes and other necessary processes.
- Boost Quality of Life
The air pollution is considerably minimised due to the natural resources which are used in building of eco friendly residence. It means that the air you inhale is cleaner.
- Longevity
The goods used throughout the building of green land have the inclination to be stronger when compared with the construction made from conventional materials. Because of this, they could last considerably longer.
- Reduce Carbon Impact
The issue of climate change would be a barrier for a business and building owner. Possessing more high energy green buildings can aid businesses to create their own electricity requirements, together with the capacity of providing back power into the grid. Power efficiency techniques can reduce risks linked with increasing power expenses.
- Have Transparency in Company
Having openness along with your eco friendly business methods could guarantee company liability. Thus, it develops trust from your clients to your crane hire companies to your employees and raises your general image. Your green land should concentrate on obligation, decreasing environmental results and design and construction.
- Boost Marketability
Greener structures contribute to improved market cost and long-term durability. Within an eco friendly property, owners supply a green rental. In here, the house owners advocate their tenants to keep environmental monitoring and practices for the construction. It is going to be easier for you to procure a rental tenant and make the construction more attractive to prospective occupants.
- Speedy ROI
When compared to past radical wishes to simply do the perfect thing, the company values that eco-friendly jobs might supply is driving the marketplace. Green construction makes possessions better and because of decreased upkeep and electricity expenditures, ROI on those efforts are expected to pay for themselves in five to seven years.
In addition to that, daily expenses are lessened yearly. Proprietors of a green construction would undergo a boost in their own ROI due to their current construction. It is becoming significantly clear that the marketplace has been motivated by this trend.
- Boost Efficiency
Businesses could no longer cover to underinvest in those programs since improving performance decreases overhead. For existing properties, whole-building audits could ascertain power dimensions and recommend enhancements and updates to aid systems to function better.
Cutting-edge improvements will likely boost performance for a company which agrees to correct their current practices.
- A Marketing Upperhand
An increasing number of clients are searching for eco-friendly establishments. On the flip side, an eco friendly construction market needs has been produced by the curiosity in green buildings. The buildings with green construction qualifications could enjoy a much better profile course by which to create a great storytelling marketing angle for their hotel or residential building. Both tendencies suggest great news for designers and builders that execute green alternatives.
So Should You Do It?
Going green is a wonderful idea. It simply couldn't be an excellent investment if profit is what you're searching for. It's likely to be frustrating to find materials and builders and such who share your vision. Nonetheless, your project is most likely to also educate those who are not about green building methods.
But green projects do not need to break your bank. In other words, you do not need to install expensive solar panels. Instead you may use recycled materials in construction or repurpose the house's frame, rather than constructing a brand new one. Adaptive reuse is certainly a viable financial alternative. What is more is you will find tax advantages.
After making your house green, be certain you get certified.
Initially, buying a green land is intimidating. But the overall costs can be quickly offset. As a result of financial aid programs of a few organizations. You are protecting the world as you practice waste and water management. Following that, you are helping your company to be sustainable and profitable. Additionally, you are aiding into the well-being of those people who will reside in the space.
Green construction is still in its early stage. Do not simply invest in a house that eco-friendly. Remember it needs to be monitored from its beginning stage to make sure the environmental impact of this construction is minimized. Nevertheless, when you put money into a green land in 2018-2019, undergo the tests and credentials, in with the help of your contractor.

The authorities have made important progress in maintaining economic and financial stability in recent years," Jarvis said in the statement.He noted that since these goals could not be achieved fully in the few remaining months of the current IMF-supported program, discussions have begun on a new three-year program that could be supported by the IMF."We encourage the authorities to continue to enhance broader private-sector growth. With the assistance of the World Bank and other partners, the authorities have outlined a concrete matrix of reforms that should, if implemented swiftly, go a long way towards improving the business climate and boosting competitiveness," Jarvis said."The fund remains committed to continue to support the authorities as they work to deliver stronger and more sustainable growth, reduce fiscal imbalances, strengthen the business environment, increase transparency, improve living standards and ensure that Jordan's most vulnerable people are protected," he added.* Asharq Al-Awsat

McKenna set to miss ANZAC Day MCG clash
Friday, April 21 2017 @ 04:46 pm ACST
Contributed by: Troy Thompson
Views: 1,137
Irishman Conor McKenna of Essendon was charged with making forceful contact from front-on against Riley Knight, Adelaide Crows, during the fourth quarter of the Round Four match between Essendon and the Adelaide Crows, played at Adelaide Oval last weekend. He subsequently accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
The available evidence and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club meant that the incident was assessed as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. The incident was classified as a two-match sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. His early plea enabled him to accept a one-match sanction.
As a consequence he will miss Tuesday's ANZAC Day clash at the MCG. The match was McKenna's first in the senior side for 2017, which was impressive given the long list of talent that has returned to the senior ranks after serving out their ban that saw them miss the 2016 season.

It's like lifting a rock off of two warring tribes of ants, wielding it menacingly over them all, and having them only lock horns on each other, in denial, continuing to fight for all they're worth.
We saner individuals are going to combine into a cohesive force of voting power and to demand that Vegan foods become the mainstay, that Compassion rule, that Animals, our kindred, are all treated kindly and humanely, and that Eco become the standard way of doing everything, plus we who care about the planet and in preserving it will stay child-free and those who feel the need to parent will adopt some of the millions of starving kids already on the planet, rather than procreating more to add to the burden the world is already tottering in desperation over.
Our resources and our numbers do not coincide.
And sign up for the Vegan Ezine here!

White & Case Ukraine News Update
The EU has published further amendments to its sanctions targeting Russia contained in Regulation 833/2014.
The stated purpose is to "clarify certain provisions", and indeed a number of key concepts such as "Arctic", "deep water" and "shale" projects (in the context of oil exploration and production) are replaced with more precisely worded and narrower concepts, notably for "shale" (now only "hydraulic fracturing") and "Arctic" (now only "offshore Arctic"). There are also explicit exceptions to the oil sector sanctions for health and safety or environmental work. Additional details are also provided with respect to the capital market restrictions, with the concept of a new credit/loan being clarified and the exceptions broadened. Overall, the amendments tend to narrow the scope of the previous sanctions by adding a number of carve-outs (albeit relatively limited).
These amendments take effect from 6 December 2014.
