The Next Web is reporting that a security hole in Skype's password recovery tool means that your account can be hacked using just your email address and username.
A team of Russian hackers discovered the flaw and posted details online. Since, The Next Web has confirmed that the technique works. The five-step hack—not linked to here—uses some nimble tricks to allow a password reset to be intercepted. The Next Web explains:
The reason this works is simple, but it's still worrying. When you use an existing email address to sign up with Skype again, the service emails you a reminder of your username, which is okay, since no one else should have access to your email. Unfortunately, because this method enables you to get a password reset token sent to the Skype app itself, this allows a third party to redeem it and claim ownership of your original username and thus account.
Voila—account hacked. In theory, this means that anyone who knows your email address and Skype username could hack your account should they wish. Currently, then, the only way to avoid the hack would be to register your Skype account with an entirely private email address. Chances are, though, that won't stay the case for long: Microsoft told The Next Web that it is currently conducting an internal investigation into the problem. [The Next Web via Verge]
Update: Skype has issued the following statement, explaining that you should be safe for now:
"We have had reports of a new security vulnerability issue. As a precautionary step we have temporarily disabled password reset as we continue to investigate the issue further. We apologise for the inconvenience but user experience and safety is our first priority"
Update 2: Everything's fixed:
"Early this morning we were notified of user concerns surrounding the security of the password reset feature on our website. This issue affected some users where multiple Skype accounts were registered to the same email address. We suspended the password reset feature temporarily this morning as a precaution and have made updates to the password reset process today so that it is now working properly. We are reaching out to a small number of users who may have been impacted to assist as necessary. Skype is committed to providing a safe and secure communications experience to our users and we apologize for the inconvenience."

UCC / Disciples of Christ Global Ministries Statement "On the Situation in Gaza"
The Common Global Ministries Board of the United Church of Christ and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, November 10-12, 2006, is deeply dismayed by the continually worsening situation in Gaza. We, board members, are especially saddened by the deaths of eighteen Gazans this past week—described by Israel as a "technical failure." Their fate is emblematic of the reprehensible conditions in which the people of Gaza live. Since the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in August 2005, Israel has continued to control access to and isolate Gaza, and otherwise inhibit daily human activity. We hear from our Christian partners there that they are far from adequately able to carry out their ministries of health and healing, rehabilitation, vocational training, and emergency relief for their community. Our own executive staff has been prevented from visiting them in their place of deepest need, having been denied access to enter Gaza by the Israeli authorities.
There is no justification for violence. In the words of one analyst, "every confrontation or war waged by Israel on the basis of aggression and occupation only brings more political and social forces in the Middle East into the circle of resistance."[*] Neither aggression nor resistance need find cause; their justifications can be eliminated with resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that ensures two secure and viable states in which all people enjoy—among full citizenship rights and other basic needs—freedoms of movement and worship, access to necessary resources, and sovereign political expression.
The situation in Gaza has continually been overshadowed by other news, but our awareness compels us to speak out
- to call attention and respond to the dire humanitarian crisis there by our churches;
- to express in all possible ways our accompaniment with our partners in Gaza to enable them to carry out their work and ministries; and
- to pray and advocate for a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli-Palestinian conflict aiming to bring about a just peace; and an end to violence in, and the suffering of, all people of the region.

Families looking for caregivers to provide help at home for their loved ones got a scare recently with a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. The study, conducted by Northwestern University, examined the hiring and screening practices of 180 responding homecare agencies, and concluded that families need to be cautious that the agency is not misrepresenting their caregivers' skills and their agencies' training and supervision.
The reality is that not every homecare agency offers the help a family may need. Some agencies may not provide adequate screening or training and finding the right fit between the caregiver and the client, and finding an agency that can truly provide the care that's needed, can be difficult. The situation is often made even more challenging because it may be an unplanned need, making it both more important and harder to be selective in evaluating an agency and an individual caregiver.
To make sure that families get qualified help, the study suggested ten questions to ask. Richard Bitner of Visiting Angels suggests that families ask not just those questions but a few more to ensure the right fit:
As Richard Bitner of Visiting Angels explains, "bringing someone into your home is very personal. Too often families don't know what questions to ask, so they choose an agency that may not be the right fit. It's so important to ask questions and to be confident that the agency you choose can stand by you when you need them. We hope these questions help families feel more confident in their choices."

Thank you once again for the fine service your agency has provided for my mother.

Now, in addition to controlling who you are allowed to have sex with and how long you are supposed to be pregnant, the Republicans want to make sure science goals are short term and in the "national interest".
Key members of the US House of Representatives are calling for the National Science Foundation (NSF) to justify every grant it awards as being in the "national interest". The proposal, which is included in a draft bill from the Republican-led House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology that was obtained by Nature, would force the NSF to document how its basic-science grants benefit the country.
Yeah, OK, so how does working out the interactions in the hedgehog signaling pathway "benefit the country"? How does measuring the lipid composition of neurons in the substantia nigra "benefit the country"? How does documenting the identity of waxes on the abdomens of fruit flies "benefit the country"? Shall we just stop all research that doesn't make a profit, doesn't improve the range of cruise missiles, and doesn't directly improve heart disease treatments for sclerotic old conservatives?
This is a first step in imposing a patriotism requirement on science…and a first step in killing the enterprise altogether.
It's also terrifying that judging the worth of science is being put in the hands of Republicans — the know-nothing party of ignorant Jebus-lovin' buffoons. (It would also be terrifying to see it under the thumbs of the credulous new-agey clowns in the other party — how about keeping science apolitical?)

And I wrote about my love of short sentences, which made Zach say:
Short sentences are effective. Just the other day, I observed that, for all the scientific talks I've been to, I can't recall a single time somebody has said "Wow, I understood everything that guy said. He must be an idiot!" But you'd be amazed how many people act as though that's not true.And then I said:
I've been to a lot of talks where I've had to listen to long sentences and tried to stave off boredom by translating them into short sentences, the stupidity of which I could the[n] marvel at before obsessing about the door and how to get myself on the other side of it.I'm looking at the door now and thinking I need to get to the other side of it, where it might be in the single digits or it might be 12.
But I'm catching up on the comments to that post about the Edwards bloggers who got shown or found the door, and Freder is all:
Unhinged? Do you ever stop by LGF, FreeRepublic, or Redstate? Even stating a leftwing view over at Redstate will get you banned quicker than anything.And I'm all:
And Malkin herself. She complains because of ant-Catholic bias, but spews anti-Islam bias all the time, wrote a book defending the internment of the Japanese and is a raging racist.
Ant-Catholic bias?(Source.)
"Have you ever heard of insect politics? Neither have I. Insects... don't have politics. They're very... brutal. No compassion, no compromise. We can't trust the insect. I'd like to become the first... insect politician. Y'see, I'd like to, but... I'm afraid, uh... I'm saying... I'm saying I - I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it. But now the dream is over... and the insect is awake."
I do need to get out of here. Perhaps a nice teleporter. If I've got that inner purity.
Until later, may this preserve you:

It took a long time for Future to get out his album, but ultimately "Honest" was worth the wait.
Future is lightyears ahead of his time. Since touching down in 2012 with his Epic Records debut album Pluto, the Freeband Gang founder has continued hustling as an artist. The sloppy, melodic flow Future introduced on Pluto has been used by virtually every trapper whoâs poppinâ today, and U.O.E.N.O. it. Throughout the past twelve months, Future has kept the spotlight on him by hosting various mixtapes, scoring humongous features on Ace Hoodâs âBugattiâ and Lil Wayneâs âLove Me,â and of course recording new material for his sophomore album, Honest. Despite his mainstream success as the industryâs #1 hook master, Future never planned on making a pop album. âWeâre gonna go so hood and so underground on âem,â he told Rolling Stone earlier this year. Raised by the streets, Future still has plenty to shout about.
Listening to Honest feels like zooming through an Auto-Tuned space portal at 200 MPH. Itâs thrilling to say the least. This experience begins with the adventurous âLook Ahead,â and carries through the retrospective album closer âBlood, Sweat, Tearsâ. However, similar to Future's first album, there are a few tracks on Honest that just miss the mark and don't mesh cohesively with the rest of it.Â
Out of the many standout tracks on the LP though, perhaps the most animated of them all, is âT-Shirtâ produced by Nard & B. Future practically screams on the record, as if grabbing all his doubters by their shirt collars. âSEE HOW CONSISTENT I AM? SEE HOW PERSISTENT I AM?!â He shouts, âI WOKE UP IN THAT BUGATTI, WENT AND BOUGHT ME THREE LAMBS.â The madness continues on the next track, âMove That Dopeâ. The Mike Will-produced track has a bassline thatâs about as ridiculous as Lil Wayneâs I Am Not A Human Being II hit, âRich As Fuckâ. Itâs too bad that Future got outshined by Pharrell on his own track, because his highly slept on yam-flipping verse was on point.
âMy Mommaâ is another banger with slapping bass. Future entertains his audience by switching his flow up multiple times in one verse, something that he does exceptionally well on this album. Wiz Khalifaâs verse feels somewhat out of place and is definitely lacklustre, but his final four bars cap things off on high note, so the rest of the verse may not even matter: âI wouldnât advise you to fuck with me/ If you get fly you look up to me/ Probably get high just because of me/ T.G.O.D thatâs my company.â
The sonically tropical âI Wonâ featuring Kanye West is another one of the albumâs highlights. Both artists rap about their beautiful fiancés, and Future shows off his singing talents. Itâs a nice change of pace. The next track, âNever Satisfied,â is the âBeach Is Betterâ of the album. Even with a Drake feature, the song fails to reach two minutes in length. Itâs a bit disappointing, but not enough so to kill the vibe.
Another impressive beat on the album belongs to âCovered N Moneyâ. ATL producer Sonny Digital went bananas on this one. The self-titled hook, which simply repeats âIâm covered in money Iâm covered in moneyâ (a tactic used through out this album) is sure to get stuck in your head for days. Another really catchy song is, of course, the highly anticipated âBenz Friendzâ with Andre 3000. The extremely rare âDre feature shines like a diamond compared to all the other guest features on the album, and the two display their musical chemistry, leaving us wanting more.
Future further cements his own lane within the rap game on his second LP. His signature syrupy, stuttering style has been perfected and sounds better than ever. His confidence has reached a new peak as well: âGODZILLA AINâT GOT SHIT ON ME NIGGA!â To be honest, who does?

Liberty Property Trust (NYSE:LPT) technicals are under focus with 20-day moving average vs price signal indicating a BUY rating.
This is the signal from the 20-day MA which is used to monitor changes in stock price. The current signal direction has been noted as Strengthening. After a recent check, we have seen the short-term moving average Hilo channel at Buy. This indicator calculates the moving average based on highs/lows rather than the closing price. The signal direction is currently Strengthening. This signal indicates whether the Buy or Sell signal is getting stronger or weakening, or whether the Hold is heading towards a Buy or Sell.
Turning to analyst views, the current analyst rating on the stock is 3.5. This is using a scale where a 5 would represent a Strong Buy, a 4 would equal a Moderate Buy, 3 a hold, 2 a moderate sell, and a rating of 1 would indicate a Strong Sell. Focusing in on some other information, we can see that the stock has a current weighted alpha of +3.80. The weighted alpha measures how much the stock has increased or decreased over one year period. The weighting puts greater emphasis on more recent activity providing a more relevant measure for short-term technical analysts to use. A positive weighted alpha reading indicates that the stock has risen over the past year. A negative reading would indicate that the stock is down over that same time period. Technical traders often use the weighted alpha to help discover stocks that are building momentum.
Investors may be watching stock price support and resistance levels on shares of Liberty Property Trust (NYSE:LPT). The support is simply a level where a stock may see a bounce after it has dropped. If the stock price can break through the first level of support, the attention may shift to the second level of support. The resistance is the opposite of support. As a stock rises, it may see a retreat once it reaches a certain level of resistance. After a recent look, the stock's first resistance level is 41.98. On the end, investors are keeping an eye on the first support level of 41.57. Investors will be watching the company shares closely as we head through earnings season. Interested parties will be watching to see if the company can beat analyst estimates for the quarter, and see what kind of impact the earnings results have on the stock moving forward.
Investors may also want to take a longer-term look at Liberty Property Trust (NYSE:LPT) shares. According to the most recent information, the stock has a 52-week high of 42.8 and a 52-week low of 36.22. Tracking longer-term price action may help provide investors with a bigger range of reference when doing stock analysis. We can also check on the current opinion signal. For today's trading session, the signal is 72% Buy. This is the combined signal for the previous month when applying a wide array of studies based on price movement. Investors may also be interested in the strength and direction of the opinion signals. The opinion direction is currently Strengthening. This is a measurement over the past three trading sessions that provides an indication of whether the latest recent price movement is following the signal. A Buy or Sell signal with a "Strongest" direction indicates that the signal is gaining strength. The opinion strength signal is currently reading Average.

Getting your five-a-day
If you sometimes struggle to eat enough fruit or vegetables throughout the day, then you might be interested in seeing my five-a-day menu plan which guarantees you get all those much needed vitamins into your diet. If you like a good bargain like me, be sure to look out for offers like buy one get one free on fruit and vegetables, because you are sure to get through them very quickly with my meal plan. If you are looking for some cooking inspiration for today's lunch, then why not check out my Shrimp Salad recipe under my Recipes tab?
Many people find it difficult to eat their five-a-day, especially if they aren't a huge fan of salads or they are fussy when it comes down to fruit. If you normally have a quick cereal bar for breakfast, buy a ham sandwich for lunch and order in pizza or Chinese for your friends when they come over to play at cheekybingo.com and watch movies as part of your girly Takeway-Tuesday nights, then this blog post will show you how you can easily add extra fruit and vegetables to your regular diet.
Breakfast – If you normally have a bowl of cereal for breakfast, then why not sprinkle a chopped banana, a chopped apple or a handful of raisins over your cereal? A glass of fruit smoothie also provides one of your five-a-day.
If you have enough time in the morning, you could even make a breakfast pot; simply pour some fruity yoghurt into a bowl and top with a chopped apple and pear, before adding a squeeze of honey and topping with some crunchy granola. This breakfast pot actually provides 2 of your five-a-day.
Lunch – If you used to just have a simple ham and cheese sandwich and a chocolate bar for lunch, why not add a few thick slices of cucumber and tomato into your sandwich? Rather than a chocolate bar, why not enjoy some carrot and celery sticks with some dip?
Dinner – If you can't resist a curry, whether it's a creamy Korma or a tangy Tikka, then why not try making a chicken, sweet potato, spinach and red pepper curry? You could serve it with a small side salad as well as rice to add in another one of your five-a-day.
This is a guest post.

The Waiters Restaurant is as Melbourne as it comes – hidden away in a CBD lane-way, with the entrance so understated that you would pass it without knowing. You find yourself climbing a few flights of an old staircase, and then entering a room which screams original 1950's decor – wood Laminex tables and cushioned brown vinyl chairs. No written menu, your eyes rely on the blackboards hanging on the walls. Originally called 'The Waiters Club', it opened as a go-to place for the Italian and Spanish hospitality workers to grab a drink, a bite and a late hour unwind accommodating irregular industry knock-off times. It's been said that the restaurant used to be so exclusive to the industry that a password was needed to enter, hence it's original name.
Being such an understated and authentic restaurant with a strong reputation, I was looking forward to a rustic version and hoped it would be the kind to leave me quiet and just humming to my food (always a good sign). It arrived. The moment of truth.
The presentation was as humble as the restaurant's appearance – brown with not much decoration. The sauce was stirred through, so that was a win.
First bite and I was underwhelmed. The meat was tender and delicious, but it was thick with not enough liquid surrounding, making it quite dry. Also lacking was a more tomatoey flavour, which was my suspicion as I noted the dark brown colour on arrival. Being a very meat dominated sauce, an aftertaste became noticeable. Also lacking was seasoning. I liked the subtlety of chili which cut through the meat, and the delicacy of the pasta which was just on al dente.
This spaghetti bolognese was no disaster, it just wasn't the balance of meat-to-tomato flavour that I enjoy. Nor was the texture of the sauce my preference. Though it was more than acceptable, it is not one of the best in Melbourne in my eyes. But hey, there are obviously many people that enjoy the pastas here – it's been open for 65 years, and that says a lot.
Score: 11.5/20
Do you prefer a more meat or tomato dominated sauce? Feel free to leave your comments below about anything spag bol!

Frequently Asked Questions
Business Insurance FAQs
Question:I'm starting a new buisness – what insurance do I need?
Different types of business require different policies to protect their business assets and to protect against business legal liabilities.
To assist new business owners Gallagher has developed a Small Business Guide to Insurance which shows the majority of business types and the range of policies available to suit each type of business listed.
Refer to our Home page for a link to the Small Business Guide.
Question:What's the difference between Public Liability or Professional Indemnity?
It is important to understand the differences between Public Liability insurance and Professional Indemnity insurance.
Public Liability covers claims against you for bodily injury and property damage to someone that arises from the operation of your business. For example, if a person is injured on your premises, or if you damage property while visiting a client.
Professional Indemnity insurance covers claims that arise from a breach of the duty that you owe as a professional or an expert for services such as:
- advice,
- design,
- consultancy,
- analysis services.
Professional Indemnity insurance covers your civil liability that results from the conduct of your professional services.
This includes:
- contractual liability,
- liability under the Trade Practices Act,
- defamation,
- infringement of intellectual property right,
- liability for the acts of sub-contractors and consultants, and
- compensation and claimant's costs and expenses.
Question:What about Technology Liability Insurance Issues?
Any organisation that develops, manufactures, licenses, sells, provides, advises, integrates any form of Technology and related services is exposed to litigation. The failure of a product, service or incorrect advice will expose that organisation to claims.
Legal Confusion
There is no consistent legal opinion as to whether software developed for a client is a "product" or a "service". This is particularly important because most software developers are required to provide evidence of Professional Indemnity insurance under client contract conditions – but claims in respect of Products liability are excluded so there would be no cover if software is deemed to be a product.
Circuit board manufacturers & other hardware suppliers need Products Liability insurance to protect their legal liability for injury or property damage claims in respect of their products. They also need Professional Indemnity for in-house design activities if applicable.
However, the most likely claim against a circuit board manufacturer or hardware suppliers is for financial compensation as a result of the failure of the product to perform as specified in a contract, rather than an injury or property damage liability claim. Claims for financial loss are not covered by a Products Liability policy which is the domain of Professional Indemnity insurance.
How closely do you look at contract conditions?
Many contracts routinely entered into by companies contain provisions that impose liabilities which can be very onerous and may not be covered by their Liability insurance leaving them unprotected for these assumed liabilities. Insurers exclude any additional liability assumed under contract beyond which would normally apply by law. So you could be your own insurer for additional liabilities you have inadvertently assumed by signing a contract without reference to a legal adviser first, unless your insurer has endorsed your policy to accept particular liabilities.
Technology Liability Insurance is the best solution
Technology Liability Insurance provides protection for organisations against legal liability for economic loss arising from the failure of their products, services and or advice in the conduct of the business in respect of acts, error or omissions and includes alleged breach of contract. It covers both hardware and software businesses.
This Insurance combines Professional Indemnity and Public & Products Liability insurance coverage to respond to the unique exposures of the Technology industry. Technology Liability insurance eliminates the potential coverage gaps which can occur when these policies are arranged separately due to legal issues. The cover includes defence costs associated with defending legal actions – even if you are found not liable.
This insurance also provides coverage for infringement of copyright, trademark, registered design or any other plagiarism. It also covers breach of confidentiality, privacy or defamation. Contractors can also be insured for their own liability as well as your vicarious liability for their performance.
Donnelly Insurance Brokers, can provide a specific offering for professionals involved in the Technology industry and the policy coverage is superior to other Technology insurance products available in the market through added benefits.
Contract Review Service
A Contract Review Service is available as an extension to the Technology Liability insurance product offered by Gallagher. This service includes up to 4 individual reviews during the policy period for:
Contractual agreements used by your company
Review of a client agreement to engage your services to ensure you are not left unprotected through assumed liabilities
Why take the risk with superseded and outdated policies when you can take advantage of a special arrangement designed specifically for your business?
Check the following examples how software developers can be exposed to financial loss claims from aggrieved clients which might not be covered by your existing insurance!
Claims example 1
A web designer was retained to upgrade/design the webpage for an online bookstore. The client complained that the web designer did not perform the work according to the specifications provided by the client when it was discovered that there was an error in the payment page which omitted the credit card details for visa cards.
Online purchasers could not pay for their purchasers with visa cards and failed to complete the payment transaction. It was soon discovered that over $50,000 worth of sales were not processed as a result of this error. The client issued proceedings against the web designer for lost sales totalling $52,500 together with costs and interest.
Claims example 2
A retailer contracted a software developer to customise and install a software system to enable the process of payments. The system was tested and was found to be working and problem free. Shortly after going 'live' orders placed utilising the system were lost with payments not being received and delivery of goods not being provided to customers. The retailer sued the software developer for $750,000 claiming breach of duty, lost of business and loss of reputation.
Claims example 3
A large accountancy firm retained a software developer to design and implement a solution to automate their business activities. After the system was developed and installed the company's records were transferred to the system. Soon after, the system crashed and it was soon discovered that the developer had not properly installed a back up for the data transferred to the system. As a result, the company's client information, billing records and other account details were lost. The software developer was sued for damages in excess of $300,000 with the client claiming breach of contract, negligence and the cost of installing a replacement system.
Personal & Family Insurance FAQs
Home Insurance
Question: Does your policy cover Contents away from Home?
We can offer a Gold Star home policy that provides cover worldwide automatically for any personal property temporarily removed from the premises. Refer to our Home section of this website for an explanation of this policy.
Question: Would my home be covered when I am on holidays and it is left unoccupied?
All home policies contain an "unoccupancy" clause that limits cover to 60-90 days without a person living there. This can be extended if approved in writing by an insurer subject to the payment of an extra premium or higher excess to be applied.
Question: I have some valuable jewellery – do I need to cover these items separately?
There are certain types of items such as valuable jewellery that need to be specified on a Home Contents policy to provide full cover beyond the standard policy limit. To specify an item on your policy you need to provide a recent certificate of valuation or similar documentary evidence of its value. Check our Home insurance section for details of the cover limitations.
Question: I work from home and have an office with a computer and furniture – is this covered by your Home insurance?
: Our IBNA Home policies automatically cover Office furniture and equipment on the premises subject to certain value limitations. However you need to arrange Public Liability insurance in connection with your business as your Home policy does not cover legal liability arising out of earning an income (except babysitting).
Question: I'm aged over 50 – do you provide me with a discount?
Some insurers provide a discount for Over 50s policyholders while others do not. An over 50's age discount alone from an insurer may not result in the best value option for you.
When we enter your details into our online electronic premium calculation system we include the age of the client and other important rating factors so we obtain the most competitive price according to the all the factors that affect the premium cost.
Car Insurance
Question: My son / daughter has their Learners permit, can they drive my car?
Yes a young learner can drive your car but in the event of an accident there would be an inexperience &/or under 25 years of age excess applicable in addition to the basic excess payable. Once the learner has a provisional license, he or she must be disclosed on your policy as possible driver, otherwise an "undisclosed driver" additional excess would be payable. It is important that they be listed as a regular driver if so because they can then accumulate their own "no claim bonus" entitlement.
Question: My friend has the same car as me but their premium is much cheaper?
There are many premium rating factors that affect the amount payable for a car insurance policy so just because someone has the same type of car the premium is not necessarily the same.
Question: Can I choose to have a higher excess for a claim to save money?
Yes most insurers encourage their policyholders to accept a higher excess in consideration for a reduced premium as a higher excess structure reduces their claims handling expenses. There are usually a range of excess options available with a scale of discounts applicable.
Coverage Queries
Question: Which companies are you agents for?
Legally we represent our clients as their agent ….. we are not agents for any insurance company. We are obliged to provide you with professionally researched advice so that you can make an informed decision about what policy suits you best. If we were an agent of an insurer we would have a conflict of interest with our duty to you as our client.
Question: I haven't heard of that company you have recommended?
Many insurers choose not to advertise heavily in the media as they prefer to deal through brokers to save marketing costs and administrative costs in dealing directly with customers or they may have a particular market niche. Therefore these companies can be relatively unknown to the general public but can be much more substantial than the names we see in the media on a regular basis. Gallagher has a responsibility to ensure that any insurer we recommend to clients is an authorised insurer under Australian prudential regulations and preferably has an external financial security rating at an approved level.
Question: Can I start my policy now before my current policy expires?
We normally advise clients not to cancel another policy before expiry because that may incur a penalty charge by their insurer. However, if the existing cover is not adequate or the price difference is large enough it may be worthwhile transferring cover immediately. If clients are paying monthly directly to an insurer it is usually possible to cancel a policy mid-term without penalty providing sufficient notice is provided to the insurer and finance institution.
Question: Can I get a discount for combining both my car and home policies with you?
Insurers that provide a multi-policy discount as a marketing ploy to get more business often charge more in the first place so receiving a multi-policy discount may be false economy! The quality of their products may be inferior as well which is more important than a possible cheaper premium.
The Gallagher way is to provide clients with the "value for money" policy on an individual basis which takes account of the quality of the product and the premium cost.
Question: Can I arrange cover over the phone with you?
Most of the policies we handle can be done electronically with insurers in which case they do not need any paper work signed. Accordingly most policies can be handled over the phone and we allow 14 days credit for clients to pay their premiums or we can arrange pay by the month premium instalments.
Question: My premium has increased but I have not had any claims?
Australia has a problem with a very small premium pool (2% of the world market) and a high natural disaster claims occurrence such as storms, floods, bushfires (well in excess of 2% of the world market). Accordingly, premiums need to rise across the board to sustain the industry in Australia.
However, you can be assured that we research the insurance market constantly to ensure that we offer you the best value policy available on renewal each year and we will recommend a change of insurer when that is warranted.
Question: What methods of premium payment do you offer?
We offer two methods of payment: annually or monthly. Our monthly payment system is handled by a financier which pays your premium in advance to your selected insurer so you repay them monthly including a small finance charge.
Some Insurers offer monthly premium payments "at no extra cost" as a marketing edge but often the annual premium is higher and includes a margin for instalment payments so there might not be any saving as expected. Their policy coverage may not be as good either. Refer to the Easypay section of our Website for further information
Question: How do you choose which insurer to place my policy with?
Some insurers only deal directly with the public but most deal through brokers and some only deal through brokers to reduce their operating and marketing costs. We deal through a selected number of preferred insurers which provide quality cover, competitive premiums, prompt and fair claims service and are financially stable.
Generally we obtain at least 3 quotations from a range of insurers that we know are competitive for a particular policy &/or market segment and which satisfy our service standards.
Our recommendation to you would be based upon our assessment of which product provides you with the best value protection taking account the quality of the cover to be provided and the premium competitiveness.
Question: I'm late paying my premium – am I still covered?
Under our agreement terms with your insurer, you need to advise us by the expiry date of your policy if it is your intention to renew your policy. If you need further time we can allow you up to 14 days credit to arrange payment or we can arrange a pay by the month facility for you.
Gallagher Services
Question: Will it cost me more to deal through Gallagher?
We earn our income from a mixture of commission payable by an insurer for administration services we provide them when we arrange policies and a broker fee payable by our client for services to them.
The commission we receive from an insurer does not increase the premium cost to you. Our broker fee is often more than offset by premium savings we can negotiate for our clients which range up to 20% discount.
Usually the policies we offer contain extra cover benefits which we negotiate on behalf of our clients with our recommended insurers.
Refer to our Value Proposition to Personal Clients on this website.
Question: What happens when I have a claim – do you assist me?
We are here to advise you about the best way to proceed with your claim in order to achieve a prompt and fair settlement. You may need advice about some technical cover aspects of your claim which are happy to provide to assist you – free of charge.
While we only arrange clients' insurance coverage with reputable insurance companies which have demonstrated a high level of claims service, there are times when a claim, or part of it, may be rejected by an insurer for various reasons. Sometimes it is due to their staff's human error, sometimes incorrect or insufficient information supplied or incorrect policy contract wording interpretation.
That's when it is important to have Gallagher "advocate for you" to represent your interests in negotiating the best outcome possible for your claim using our expert technical knowledge of policy contracts and negotiation skills with the insurer's claim management
We are on your side … not the insurers'!
Question: What are the advantages of dealing through Gallagher?
Professional Advice
We are obliged to provide you with professionally researched advice so that you can make an informed decision about what policy suits you best.
IBNA Marketing Group Buying Power

The specially tailored IBNA personal and business policies combine the best features of all the policies available in the market into a unique quality package. We consider that the IBNA policies are the best value covers available and mostly recommend them to clients.
Claims Assistance
However, our most important function as our clients' broker is to represent them in arranging a prompt and fair claim settlement. We provide clients with initial advice about the best way to proceed with their claim and from then the insurer and /or loss adjuster manage the claim unless there is a dispute. In this event , it is our role to step in and negotiate on our client's behalf to resolve any issues and to achieve the best possible outcome.
Premium Savings
Most insurers discount their premiums for Gallagher because of our premium volume and administrative savings through our electronic trading system. This discount is passed on to you and offsets our broker fee. Best Value Insurance

Who needs automated bots solving CAPTCHAs, when you have teams of low-waged humans recognizing them for pennies?
In an underground cybercrime ecosystem dominated by managed services and countless outsourcing opportunities, it's fairly logical to assume that Google's reCAPTCHA is under constant fire.
Just how easy is it to recognize reCAPTCHA images for malicious account registration and service abuse purposes? Let's find out.
According to newly published research, it easier than it should be. From professional CAPTCHA solving teams, to services offering API keys for the integration in third-party software and automatic account registration purposes, the entire CAPATCHA solving process is easy to outsource.
The research details the process of hiring dedicated CAPTCHA solving teams, and affiliate networks offering CAPTCHA solving services, next to issuing API keys for the purpose of third-party integration.
More details on the affiliate networks involved:
Looking at the API, the process basically goes like this:
- Send the CAPTCHA and API key via an HTTP POST request
- A response is returned with an ID
- Wait 10 seconds then send the ID back in another request
- A response with either the resolved text or a "not ready" status is sent back
- If it's not ready, wait 5 seconds then ask for the status again (rinse, lather, repeat)
It seems like a very good use case for long polling. Never mind, the API is straightforward; the interesting bit will be the success rate achieved.
Before we move onto the crux of this post – actually "breaking" CAPTCHA – there's one more useful service provided by Antigate and that's the ability to get a quick health check on the status of the operators. Actually, you can load this yourself without authenticating and you should see something similar to this:
Total of 1,230 CAPTCHAs were sent off to Antigate and only 77 were not solved correctly, hence causing the registration process to fail. That's a 94% success rate.
In the past, independent research has confirmed numerous weaknesses in Google's reCAPTCHA:
In a newly released report, a security researcher claims that Google's reCAPTCHA, one of the most widely adopted free CAPTCHA services, contains weaknesses that would allow a 10,000 infected hosts botnet the ability to achieve 10 recognition successes every second, allowing it to register 864,000 new accounts per day.
In response, a Google spokesman stated that the report relies on data collected in early 2008, and doesn't take into consideration the effectiveness of the current technology used against machine solvers.
Moreover, Microsoft's CAPTCHA has been under fire from phishers and spammers as well:
Jeff Yan and Ahmad Salah El Ahmad, at the School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, England recently published a research paper entitled "A Low-cost Attack on a Microsoft CAPTCHA", demonstrating how they've managed to attack the Microsoft's CAPTCHA used on several of their online services such as Hotmail and Windows Live, with over 92% recognition rate.
Malicious attackers outsource the CAPTCHA solving process to vendors of CAPTCHA solving services, in order to automatically abuse a particular Web service that requires CAPTCHA verification in order for the account registration process to take place.
Yahoo!'s and Hotmail's CAPTCHA's have been under fire in the past, resulting in hundreds of thousands of automatically registered email accounts used for sending spam and phishing emails. Independent research has also confirmed that spam from legitimate Web-based email providers is increasing.
With low-waged humans solving CAPTCHAs for pennies, CAPTCHA as a layered authentication mechanism is definitely flawed, thanks to the constant and automatic abuse by scammers and malicious attackers who want to take advantage of the clean IP reputation of free Web -ased email service providers.

Sorry if that sounds a little "glorious master race", but hey, when you look at what Crytek are able to do with the wet stuff in this DirectX 11 tech video, there's really no other way to describe it.
One thing though: that sort of chop would look at home somewhere in the North Atlantic. So close to shore? It's a little much.

This version of Tetra Pak® E3/CompactFlex is for chilled products and does not require packaging material sterilisation. Hydrogen peroxide will only be required to sterilise the machine in a very small quantity.
Tetra Pak® E3/CompactFlex XH Version
This version of Tetra Pak® E3/CompactFlex is for Extended Shelf Life products and utilises one eBeam lamp to disinfect the inner part of the packaging material. Hydrogen peroxide will only be required to sterilise the machine in a very small quantity.
The transversal sealing of the packages is done by ultrasonic technology enabled by Mini Single Head Compact Transducer. It is a new component using single head instead of a twin head. This assures a more homogeneous sealing quality and enables machine capacity increase to 9'000 packs/hour.
The operator panel will have a new look and feel and a wider screen – in 16:9. More intuitive icons are available with added functionality and improved usability. The time required to perform the different operations has been reduced.
The customer will have the possibility to select between two external cleaning options with a chance to customise his own cleaning cycle! The two available pre-defined options are:
The cleaning parameters are visualised at the operator panel and will be enabled for customisation so that the customer can tailor make it to better fit specific needs.
This new feature improves two important aspects of the filling machine functionality:
QuickChange technology makes it possible to switch production between two packages with the same bottom cross section, whilst maintaining the filling machine's sterile conditions.
The kit consists of few parts that need to be changed by the filling machine operator. After this has been done, the machine automatically adjusts by applying the servo motor programme for the new volume chosen. Within 20 minutes, the machine can be ready to start production again.
eBeam kit
For already installed Tetra Pak® E3/CompactFlex pausterised machines an eBeam kit is available to render them Extended Hygiene (XH) for production of Extended Shelf Life products.

I will be packing a large photograph on Aluminum for travel. There has been some chatter about not using Glassine as a first layer below bubble and cardboard when soft packing, is there any new information on this and is virgin poly the best alternative? Does anyone have experience with aluminum mounted photos?
Admittedly the best method for packing and travel would be a slat crate but the budget is not there for this.
Thanks for any insight.

If you're a proud Nexus 4 owner, you may have noticed that the smooth, glittery back of the phone makes it a bit slippery in the hand and scratch-prone on flat surfaces. Worse, when the phone is lying flat, the single rear-facing speaker is completely blocked. But don't fret. Google and LG are now shipping a new version of the phone with tiny rubber feet to hold it off surfaces it rests on, and the companies have also given the rear-facing camera a new housing, according to Android Central.
Tiny design tweaks to smartphones after they've started shipping are pretty uncommon, even when flaws are borderline egregious (see: Apple's Antennagate in 2010). Most companies simply carry over those lessons to their next design. But apparently the complaints of scratches on the Nexus 4's glossy back have been numerous enough for the phone to evolve little feet along its bottom edge.
Both the Nexus 4's back and front are covered with Gorilla Glass 2, which is sturdy but scratch-prone. Reviews have also noted that the rear speaker is already tinny and quiet, so the fact it can be covered completely in the initial design by resting on a flat surface is not to its advantage.
LG also appears to have narrowed the exposed area around the Nexus 4 camera's lens, though the impetus for that move is less apparent. Neither Google nor LG responded immediately to requests for comment on the redesign.

Besides, Microsoft has numerous documented incompatibilities between Office files saved in the 32 and 64 bit versions, is it any wonder that other people can't properly support Microsoft's formats when Microsoft can't even support their own with the source code right in front of them? I'd have low expectations for the Linux port based on this.
Microsoft and Intel were partners in crime in upholding each others monopoly and shutting out any competition. I guarantee you that Microsoft gimped Windows 8 on ARM solely because Intel made them do it. Wintel is being relegated to the rubbish bin of history, I imagine their leaders are losing a lot of sleep over this (but probably Microsoft more than Intel).
Wall Street is mostly to blame, when you start a business and make $10 billion in a single quarter, Wall Street expects it of you always. You can't tell those greedy bastards that "Well, making $10 billion that quarter was fluke, the market conditions were perfect, and there was little competition. Realistically, we can only sustainably bring in $2 billion a quarter". Nope, Wall Street expects you to find new and shadier ways to continue bringing in even more money, which usually involves screwing your customers for as much as you can take them for.

Singapore Airlines to Order More A380s and A350 XWBs
The latest A380 order will be the third to be placed by the airline, bringing the total number of A380s ordered by SIA to 24. The airline, which was the launch operator for the A380, now has 19 aircraft in service, flying to 10 destinations in Europe, the US and the Asia-Pacific region from its Singapore base. In the mid-size category, the new A350 XWB order will see the airline double its backlog for the all-new aircraft to 40. The A350-900s will be used by the airline on both medium and long haul routes.
"This major order will provide us with additional growth opportunities and is consistent with our longstanding policy of maintaining a young and modern fleet. It demonstrates our commitment to the Singapore hub, and our confidence in the strength of the market for premium full-service travel," said Goh Choon Phong, CEO, Singapore Airlines. "The aircraft will enable us to further enhance our network, providing more travel options to our customers. They will also feature the next generation of in-flight cabin products to keep us at the forefront of airline product innovation."
"This announcement from one of the world's most prestigious carriers underscores the unrivalled comfort and efficiency offered by Airbus widebody aircraft," said John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer, Customers, Airbus. "As Singapore Airlines has shown, the A380 has proven itself to be a game changer at the top end of the market. We are now set to bring new levels of efficiency to the mid-size segment with the arrival of the A350 XWB. We are extremely proud to count Singapore Airlines as a leading airline partner on both of these innovative aircraft programmes."
Since first entering service with Singapore Airlines in 2007, the A380 has joined the fleets of nine world class carriers. Typically seating 525 passengers in three classes, the aircraft is capable of flying 8,500 nautical miles or 15,700 kilometres non-stop, carrying more people at lower cost and with less impact on the environment. The spacious, quiet cabin and smooth ride have made the A380 a firm favourite with passengers, resulting in higher load factors wherever it flies. To date, Airbus has recorded 257 firm orders for the A380 from 20 customers.
The A350 XWB (Xtra Wide-Body) is an all-new mid-size long range product line comprising three versions and seating between 270 and 350 passengers in typical three-class layouts. The new Family will bring a step change in efficiency compared with existing aircraft in this size category, using 25 per cent less fuel and providing an equivalent reduction in CO2 emissions. Scheduled for entry-into-service in 2014, the A350 XWB has already won 558 firm orders from 34 customers worldwide.

#1, #2, #3 Steel Band Set (41")
Serious Steel Fitness
Bands are available individually or in pairs.
Accommodating resistance is an excellent addition to your training. They are not just for powerlifting - these are ideal for all sport related training, resistance training, mobility and an on-the-go needs.
Bands #1 & #2 are best for general conditioning, rehabilitation, stretching, jumping, speed training, aerobics, and for lifters as assistance for the upper body to increase the resistance for bicep and triceps. Either band is great for beginners and light weightlifters. Both can be used to safely increase the intensity of a workout without adding additional weights to a bar. For the stronger lifter, they will add considerable resistance to bicep and tricep exercises.
Bands #3 & #4 can be used by stronger benchers, and with exercises involving the lower body, calves, quads, hamstring and glutes.
Large and X-Large Bands (#5 & 6) are usually used for obtaining maximum resistance with squats, deadlifts, leg presses and shrugs.

Loaded Vegetarian Tortas With Avocados, Queso Oaxaca, Black Beans, and Pickled Jalapeño Recipe
Heaped with creamy black bean spread, salty white cheese, and creamy avocados, these sandwiches are dead-easy to prepare at home: in the time it would take you to head out to your favorite Mexican joint and order a torta, you could make five of them from the comfort of your own home.
Read more: Loaded Vegetarian Tortas With Avocados, Black Beans, and Pickled Jalapeños
- Yield:Makes 4 sandwiches
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 3 jalapeños, thinly sliced into rounds
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- One large (25 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus additional for spreading sandwiches
- 4 soft round rolls
- 1 pound queso Oaxaca (Mexican string cheese), thinly sliced
- 2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 lime
- 1/2 cup picked fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
Place sliced jalapeños in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, combine water, vinegar, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour pickling solution over jalapeños and cover bowl with a plate; let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, place beans in a medium mixing bowl and add cumin, mayonnaise and kosher salt to taste. Mash with a potato masher until beans come together as a spread but remain chunky.
Cut rolls in half. Divide black bean spread among bottom 4 halves of rolls (you may have extra spread), then layer cheese over black beans, dividing evenly between the 4 sandwiches. Top each sandwich with 1/2 a sliced avocado, then add a few jalapeño slices to each sandwich. Top each sandwich with a layer of shredded lettuce and a few cilantro leaves; spritz each sandwich with lime juice. Spread tops of rolls with mayonnaise, place on top of each sandwich, press down gently, and slice in half. Serve immediately.

About one in seven Americans reported belonging to a family that struggled to pay medical bills in 2018, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The percentage of people in families having problems paying their medical bills over the past 12 months has dropped by 5.5 percentage points from 2011 to 2018, falling from 19.7% to 14.2%.
"Significant expenses for one family member may adversely affect the whole family," researchers from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics wrote. "People who are in families with problems paying medical bills may experience serious financial consequences, such as having problems with paying for food, clothing, or housing, and filing for bankruptcy."

Latinos don't fit into any one mold. We come in all shapes, sizes and colors—and our TV stars are no exception. Last week, Latina.com reader Maria Ortiz proved that when she pointed out that Glee star, Lea Michelle, is actually part-Spanish (she has Sephardic Jewish heritage) on our Facebook fan page. Maria's observation prompted us to think of other Latin TV stars who people might not know are Latin.
Check out our gallery of these Latin actors, and tell us which ones surprise you the most!
1. Vivo: Charisma Carpenter
Charisma Carpenter, 42
She's best known for playing Cordelia Chase—a conceited and popular teenager who reluctantly joins "The Scooby Gang" in Whedon's hit TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But we're betting you didn't know that this talented beauty—who also starred on Whedon's Buffy spinoff, Angel—is Latina! Charisma's dad might be French and German, but her mom is a mix of Cherokee and Spanish. The actress lived in Rosarito City, Mexico during her teen years.
2. Vivo: Vanessa Marcil
Vanessa Marcil, 41: This beautiful actress is probably best known for her role as saucy vixen, Gina Kincaid on Aaron Spelling's hit series, Beverly Hills, 90210, but few know Marcil by her birth name: Sally Vanessa Ortiz. Vanessa was born in Indio, California to parents, Patricia Marcil and Peter Ortiz--a self-made Mexican millionaire!
3. Vivo: David Gallagher
David Gallagher, 25
For ten seasons, David played Simon Camden, a member of one of TV's whitest families on the long-running family drama, 7th Heaven. But who would've guessed that this blonde haired, blue-eyed kid—who also played Mikey Ubriacco (John Travolta's son) in 1993's Look Who's Talking Now—was Latino? Gallagher was born in Flushing, New York to Cubana Elena Lopez.
4. Vivo: Sara Paxton
Sara Paxton, 21: Like David, Sara's got blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, but don't let that fool you—this is one young lady who's very proud to be Latina! The daughter of a Scottish and Irish father, Sara's mother, Lucia was born In Monterrey, Mexico and raised in Ciudad Acuña. Last year, when we asked Sara how people react when they find out she's Mexican. "They don't believe me at all," she told us. "I think its because they have this stereotype of what a Hispanic girl is supposed to look like, and I don't fit that typical look," We're proud to have you as one of us, Sara!
5. Vivo: Joanna Garcia
Joanna Garcia, 30: You know her as Cheyenne Hart-Montgomery, a white cheerleader on Reba, and as Megan Smith, a white journalist on the CW's Privileged, but did you know that this beautiful actress is Cuban? Born in Tampa, Florida to a Spanish-American mother and a Cuban father, last year Joanna became the first Latina to land a recurring role on Gossip Girl, and she had this to say about getting the role: "I'm always proud to be Latin anywhere I go, but the fact that I'm breaking a little ground here makes me very excited!" You go, girl!
6. Vivo: Alexis Bledel
Alexis Bledel, 28: For seven seasons, we watched Alexis play Rory Gilmore on the hit CW series, Gilmore Girls, but until Latina put her on our cover, few people knew she was one of us. Bledel was born in Houston, Texas to a Mexican mother named Nanette Dozier and an Argentinean dad named Martin. Her first language is Spanish, and she even showed off her Español during an episode of Gilmore Girls.
7. Vivo: Alexa Vega
Alexa Vega, 21: She plays American teenager Ruby Gallagher on the ABC Family comedy, Ruby and the Rockets, but Vega—who first gained recognition for starring as Carmen Cortez in Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids—is actually half-Colombian.
8. Vivo: Morena Baccarin
Morena Baccarin, 33
The Homeland star played Inara Serra on Whedon's hit sci-fi show, Firefly and reprised her role for the feature film Serenity (2005), a space Western film written and directed by Whedon. But in real life, Morena isn't from another planet—she's from Brazil! Born in Rio de Janeiro, her mother is Brazilian TV actress Vera Setta, and her father is the Brazilian Record TV News Coordinator, Fernando Baccarin.
9. Vivo: Sonya Walger
Sonya Walger, 35: She might have a thick British accent, but Sonya, who stars as Dr. Olivia Benford on ABC's FlashForward, is actually half-Argentinean. "My dad is from Buenos Aires and my mom is English" Sonya told Latina.com last year: "I didn't grow up [in Argentina], but my parents brought me up bilingual and I traveled back and forth my whole life, so I feel English, but I also feel very Argentine." Sonya says her favorite Argentinean food includes empanadas, carne and chorizo. Atta girl!
10. Vivo: Jeanine Mason
Jeanine Mason, 20: When Jeanine Mason won the fifth season of FOX's hit dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance, no one knew this brilliant dancer was Cuban. But the Miami-born Latina—whose aunt sent her pastelitos de guayaba y queso and croquetas during the competition—told Latina.com she couldn't be prouder of her background: "My entire family is Cuban: My dad's family and my mom's family! I am a first-generation cubana americana!"
11. Vivo: Aubrey Plaza
Aubrey Plaza, 25: She plays Amy Poehler's slothful college intern, April, on NBC's hit comedy, Parks and Recreation; but people have a hard time believing that this talented and irreverent comedienne is Latina. "I was like the only diverse kid in my high school, and I'm half-Puerto Rican," Plaza told Latina.com. "I have a huge family and tons of cousins in Puerto Rico. We actually hung out with them last summer, and it was awesome."
12. Vivo: Maiara Walsh
Maiara Walsh, 22: She is best known for her roles as the Indian character, Meena Paroom on the Disney Channel series, Cory and the House, and as Eva Longoria Parker's Mexican niece, Ana, on ABC's Desperate Housewives, but Maiara Walsh is 100% Brazilian.
13. Vivo: Kid Cudi
Kid Cudi, 26: Rapper, singer and actor Kid Cudi—who currently plays Domingo Brown on HBO's How to Make it in America—was born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi (hence the moniker). The talented musician first blew up when his song "Day and Night" hit the airwaves last summer, but most people don't know that he is the product of an African American mother and Mexican father.
14. Vivo: Lea Michelle
Lea Michelle , 23: This Broadway alum (Spring Awakening) is the sultry and talented beauty who inspired this gallery. Lea, who's part Italian-American and part Spanish-Sephardic Jewish, has a voice that is a gift from God. We're proud that this talented performer is part-Latina, and we can only hope that Lea belts out a song in Spanish on FOX's Glee in the near future.
15. Vivo: Michael Trevino
Michael Trevino, 25:
You know him as Ozzy, the bad boy with a soft side on the CW's 90210, and in his current role as Tyler Lockwood on the hit series, The Vampire Diaries, but did you know that Trevino is Mexican? "I'm a full-blooded Mexican," Michael proudly told Latina.com: "My mother was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and my father—the son of Mexican immigrants—was born near Fresno, California." Michael's favorite food? "There's this small taco stand in L.A., and I'll go there and have this Pastor Quesadilla that's to die for! My grandmother also makes great Mexican dishes."

Wow, it has been a while since my last post! I do try to avoid cluttering this blog with needless ramblings. At any rate, I've just returned from IETC (The Illinois Education and Technology conference) where I was a first time presenter and boy am I exhausted. I love educational/technology conferences and getting to learn and share new things with my colleagues, but tend to get about 4 hours of sleep over the course of three days.
Incidentally, if you'd like to see what I presented on, you can. Here and here.
While I may be physically wiped out, my emotional state is fully charged and my soul is re-enrgized. I had been a nervous wreck in the weeks leading to the conference. Were my presentations ready? Were they informative enough? Would I stumble through my presentations and leave session attendees feeling empty? Truly the stuff of nightmares. But as usual, I overcomplicate things and over-prepare to avoid failure and everything worked out in the end. Funny how we can add undue stress to our lives isn't it? I'm already thinking about FETC (Florida Education Technology Conference) in January, ICE in February and IETC 2010. The ideas are churning away in the brain.
Meanwhile, I will be blogging and reflecting over the next few days and with the long holiday weekend rapidly approaching plan to re-launch the webtopia.tv project I began over the summer. I'm even considering authoring a book over the next year on the power technology can have in the classroom. Stay turned!

(Pocket-lint) - Dell has introduced two new ultrabooks to its XPS range in the shape of the XPS 14 and XPS 15 and Pocket-lint has been lucky enough to get some hands-on time with both.
As their names suggest both laptops feature bigger screens than their predecessor the XPS 13, with the XPS sporting a 14-inch display and the XPS 15 a 15-inch. There are different variants of both depending on how much you want to fork out, with an option for either an i5 or i7 Ivy Bridge processor.
The Dell XPS 14 is also available as a Wi-Fi-only model or as a Pay As You Go version that enables you to gobble up data using a network as opposed to a Wi-Fi connection, while it also sports a rather fetching leather back that also helps avoid signal interference, allegedly.
Another key difference is that the Wi-Fi only version features an Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, whereas the PAYG houses a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M GPU.
The XPS 14's Corning Gorilla display has a resolution of 1600 x 900 and a brightness of 400 nit. Packed with 8GB of RAM, memory can be topped up via an additional driver or SSD card.
The bigger Dell XPS 15 features a higher resolution screen with 1920 x 1080 pixels, which again is protected with Corning Gorilla display. Customers can choose between an inbuilt DVD-RW or a Blu-ray player, while there's also a choice in processors; an NVIDIA GeForce GT630M chip with 1GB of dedicated RAM or an NVIDIA GeForce GT640M chip with 2GB.
The other key differences between the Dell XPS 14 and XPS 15 is the weight, 4.6 pounds and 5.79 pounds respectively, oh and of course the price. The Dell XPS 14 has begun shipping in the US from $1,099 while the XPS 15 starts from $1,299.
No word on UK shipping just yet, but the fact they have gone on sale in the US suggests we won't have to wait long.
UPDATE Dell has revealed pricing on its UK website for some versions of both the XPS 14 and XPS 15, starting at £1049 and £1149 respectively. Expect more variants with different price points to be added soon.
Are you thinking of buying either the Dell XPS 14 or XPS 15? Let us know in the comments below.

Corporate America seems to have a newfound sense of urgency to rein in rising health care costs — costs that Warren Buffett described this year "as a hungry tapeworm on the American economy." But Drew Altman, president and CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, writes at Axios that "the data don't suggest a basis for a new level of urgency about health costs in corporate America."
His chart shows that there hasn't been a sudden inflection point or surge in employer health care costs — just more of the same, steady rise. Health costs as a percentage of overall compensation for the largest employers have been in a pretty steady range between 8 percent and 9 percent over the last decade.
So what's behind the strengthening drumbeat of corporate concern about health care costs?
Altman's piece suggests one possible answer: Those costs now represent a larger share of overall compensation than they did a generation ago — and workers frustrated by a years-long lack of income growth and shock-inducing insurance tabs (around $19,000 a year for the average family policy) may be making it harder for companies to continue to employ one of their preferred strategies to keep costs in check.
"Employers have held costs down, in part, by shifting them to employees," Altman writes. "They may now feel cost shifting is nearing a natural limit."

I attended a vendor presentation last week, and one of the reps said something very interesting about getting a library to 100% self-check. Here's what he said:
"100% self-check is really easy to get to. You just eliminate any other way. It's not rocket science."
For self check and libraries, I know of more than one library "working towards" 90% self check, or they have a goal of a certain percentage. Or they just continue to offer both, with no real goal to stop either of them.
Some questions for you, if you're in this boat – how much do you want to reach that goal? Is it really a goal? If so, do you know WHY it's a goal? Is it what your customers want, or does it work better for the organization (not necessarily a bad thing). Is something holding you back? And if so … why?
Obviously, this works with more than just self checkout!
Are you trying to make a change, but you still really have the old way AND the new way still fully functioning? Maybe it's time to set a deadline for the old process to go away. Maybe you need to rethink the project, ask customers about it, or ask staff how to improve it.
Maybe you simply need to commit, and take that next step.
