Hips Checkout is a technical platform of storing your Payment Credentials, but it doesn't change anything else about your relationship with the Merchant you're paying or your bank or credit card company. You are ultimately responsible for the purchases you make using Hips Checkout. Also, the Merchant is the one responsible for providing you the goods or services that you purchase using Hips Checkout, not Hips. Hips will use our reasonable efforts to keep your Payment Credentials secure. Hips may buy any debt from you to the Merchant (factoring), in that case you will be notified and must fulfill you payment toward Hips and not the Merchant.
HIPS has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, we make use of best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security at HIPS. The PCI audit occurs annually.
HIPS act as a financial technical service provider, which support the provision of payment services to banks and authorized payment institutions. Some of HIPS services includes a e-commerce platform ("Checkout"), for such services HIPS act as a commercial agent authorised via an agreement to conclude the sale on behalf of the payee.
Security is one of the biggest considerations in everything we do. If you have any questions after reading this, or encounter any issues, please let us know.
All card numbers are encrypted on disk with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of HIPS's internal servers and daemons are able to obtain plaintext card numbers; instead, they can just request that cards be sent to a service provider on a static whitelist. HIPS's infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in separate hosting infrastructure, and doesn't share any credentials with HIPS's primary services (API, website, etc.).
No technology is perfect, and HIPS AB believes that working with skilled security researchers across the globe is crucial in identifying weaknesses in any technology. If you believe you've found a security issue in our product or service, we encourage you to notify us. We welcome working with you to resolve the issue promptly.
Thank you for helping keep HIPS AB and our users safe!
Understanding security impact of a given report is understanding what mitigating or multiplying factors exists. Below are some categories to consider when assessing security impact.
sensitivity of user data exposed -- when a vulnerability exposes user data, the sensitivity of the type of information exposed influences the security impact.
scale of exposure -- when considering security impact of any given vulnerability, it's important to understand the scale of exposure and how many potential victims exist if the vulnerability was exploited at scale.
severity of forged actions -- when a vulnerability allows an attacker to forge requests/actions on behalf of the user, the sensitivity/severity of those actions determine the security impact. For example, updating a user's last name versus their bank account number have drastically different security impacts.
requires user interaction -- when an exploit scenario requires a human from Hips or a Victim to manually interact before exploit is successful.
authorized relationship -- when an exploit scenario involves an authorized relationship or is given express permission from the Victim.
requires brute forcing -- exploit scenarios that require an Attacker to brute force a value in order for the exploit to be successful. For example, the need to brute force a phone number, email, or UUID. The amount this mitigating factor comes into play is dependent on how "hard" it is to brute force the value in question -- brute forcing phone numbers is much "easier" than a UUID.
existence of rate limiting -- exploit scenarios that are mitigated by rate limiting the number of requests, inhibiting the ability to exploit a vulnerability at scale. Forging various IP headers (X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, Client-IP, True-Client-IP) are not considered to be "mitigating" factor since it doesn't require actually having unique IPs.
physical access -- exploit scenarios requiring physical access to a device.
noticeable to victim -- exploits that are noticeable to victim. For example, changing someone's password on their account would lock them out of their account and would be immediately noticeable. account put into arrears or banned -- when an exploit then puts the Attacker's account into arrears or results in a ban.
social engineering -- when an exploit requires social engineering a person to be successful.
requires privileged network position -- when an exploit (often times MiTM) requires having privileged network position to be successful
requires multiple accounts -- when an exploit requires the ability to mint new accounts indefinitely.
We strive to be consistent with how we close reports and below are the details for each state:
spam -- a report with no useful information\ needs more info -- not enough actionable information in report to triage\ not applicable -- no reproducible security vulnerability or explicitly out-of-scope per our guidelines\ duplicate -- a vulnerability that has previously been found either internally or via Hackerone\ informative -- a reproducible issue with negligible security impact or an issue with a product that doesn't affect our service/software (e.g. an S3 bucket named hips-secret-stuff that isn't actually related to us)\ triaged -- either a valid report or a report that needs more investigation from an internal team, typically the former\ resolved -- a verified vulnerability that has been fixed
Previous bounty amounts are not considered precedent for future bounty amounts -- software is constantly changing and therefore the given security impact of the exact same issue at different times in the development timeline can have drastically different security impacts.
We focus bounty amounts on the security impact of any given issue -- things that influence security impact are the scale of exposure and the various mitigating and multiplying factors.
We recognize that researchers value receiving bounties sooner than later, but basing payouts on security impact often requires us to get to resolution before we completely understand the potential security impact.
The general process for determining bounty:
The bounty ranges:
A reward of USD $500 may be provided for the disclosure of qualifying vulnerabilities. At our discretion, we may increase or decrease the reward amount based on the mitigating and multiplying factors.
If you report a vulnerability that does not qualify under the above criteria, we may still provide a reward of USD $100 if your report causes us to take specific action to improve HIPS's security.
Bounty payouts, if any, will be determined by Hips in its sole discretion. In no event is Hips obligated to provide a payout for any Submission. The format, currency and timing of all bounty payouts shall be determined by Hips in its sole discretion. For example, Hips may give you one (1) payout in-full or a partial payout when the vulnerability is first verified followed by an additional payout once the vulnerability has been fixed. You are solely responsible for any tax implications related to any bounty payouts you may receive.
High quality submissions allow our team to better understand the issue and relay the vulnerability to the internal team to fix. The best reports provide enough actionable information to verify and validate the issue without any follow up clarifying questions.
Note: Severity shown here only indicates the maximum severity possible for reports submitted to the Asset.
|Maximum severity
Our security team rapidly investigates all reported security issues. If you believe you've discovered a vulnerability in HIPS's security, please get in touch with HIPS Security Incident Response Team at firstname.lastname@example.com (optionally encrypted using our public PGP key). We will respond as quickly as possible to your report. We request that you not publicly disclose the issue until it has been addressed by HIPS.

A 38-year-old man climbed the New Jersey roller coaster that was swept into the ocean during Superstorm Sandy and unfurled an American flag Tuesday in what he told investigators was an act of patriotism, NBC 4 New York reported.
Christopher Angulo was handcuffed, arrested and charged with criminal trespassing after authorities coaxed him down from the now-iconic coaster and into a police boat in the frigid Atlantic Ocean, Seaside Heights Police Chief Tommy Boyd told NBC 4 New York.
Boyd said Angulo, who used a canoe to reach the submerged ride, had three duffel bags full of food and clothing with him and told investigators he was prepared to remain on the coaster for two or three days. He said he "did it for America," Boyd said.
The police chief also told NBC 4 New York Angulo has had previous "run-ins" with the law but did not elaborate on the nature of those alleged infractions.
Angulo describes himself as a surfer and a climber, police told NBC 4 New York. His mother told News 12 he lives at his grandmother's home in Lavallette and that her son is a bit of a daredevil.
U.S. & World
Boyd said Angulo would be given a psychiatric evaluation. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

It seems that every time California voters take aim at the legislature, they shoot themselves in the foot.
Think term limits. Even many who initially supported them admit that term limits have been a disaster.
And campaign financing reform initiatives haven't staunched the flow of political money; they've mostly driven it farther from the sunlight.
We may have another potential misfire on next November's ballot.
A constitutional amendment to jettison California's full time legislature has been filed with the Attorney General's Office.
Lawmakers would convene in January for 30 days, recess, and then reconvene in May for 60 days. Their pay will be cut from more than $7,940 per month to $1,500 a month, or $18,000 annually.
A quick look back shows us how a part-time legislature might work in real life.
"I can tell whether a man wants a baked potato, a girl or money," boasted Arthur H. "Artie" Samish, arguably the most influential and powerful lobbyist in California's history.
From the 1920s to the early 1950s, Samish used that simple formula to influence part-time lawmakers and successfully serve his clients' interests in the State Capitol.
Back then the Legislature met every other year. In January of odd-numbered years, the houses convened to organize and introduce bills, then adjourned until March, when they considered legislation.
Lawmakers generally fled the Capitol in June or July, to escape the oppressive Sacramento heat. The legislature didn't meet at all—except for special or budget sessions—in even numbered years.
Part-time legislators pulled down only $100/mo.
"Naturally," Samish observed, "the legislators couldn't live on twelve hundred a year. All had other sources of income…Some of the legislators augmented their income by outright bribes from some of my lobbying colleagues…There were other, strictly legal ways of adding to the income of lawmakers and simultaneously making them friendly to your own organization."
There still are. And will be, whether or not the legislature meets full- time.
Second jobs will always have the potential of legislative conflicts of interest.
Men and women in their prime, unless they are independently wealthy, can't afford to live on a part-time salary. (New Jersey's part-time legislature was known as "the cradle and the grave.")
A report by the National Conference of State Legislatures concluded, "[b]eing a legislator doesn't just mean attending legislative sessions and voting on proposed laws. State legislators also spend large amounts of time assisting constituents, studying state issues during the interim and campaigning for election. These activities go on throughout the year."
The rhythms of the legislative process won't change. Politics will remain a full-time gig.
Don't let the "part-time" label fool you.
When Proposition 1A, approved by California voters in 1966, ushered in the "full-time legislature," lawmakers already were in Sacramento most of each year, working through a plethora of "special sessions" (which still are allowed under the current initiative).
The part-time legislature had become a rubber stamp for the Administration, lobbyists and interest groups.
Analyzing "the real secret of Samish's astounding political power," historian Carey McWilliams wrote, "The power is really not in Artie; it is in a situation which he has learned to manipulate."
In the end, a system is only as good as the people who inhabit it. And you can't legislate human nature.

[Verse One]
You replicas overlooking the guidelines of acoustics
Miserable attempts result in miserable conclusions
Paragon Pendragon tactician on free-form
That uncomfortable, silenced pride of combat cliques
That unexpected zephyr, the cyclone shifts
Worked up, you're shooken. Jutted to the side
I stagger this vagabond wandering minstrel forms your phobia
Worst fear. The terror-stricken muted
The roots of all evil I've rooted pinnacle
Poised with pride pouncing to break your stride, forsaken
Agony rides inside the heartache wretched condition
My intuition felt you slip up
You tripped alone what are you aiming for?
Or the useless tries to classify your genus, distorted fetus
Evolve, type unsolved, you lack the malediction
Malleable martyrs get molded, then folded under pressure
Dowsed with scenes of slaughter suspension
Bridge over troubled water drown, sound study intensive
My square drops to erase your lines like Tetris
Relentless agent hush horrendous circles on my pavement
Two sticks to burn basics that lie adjacent to my placement
On the game board, lunge forward and wind up impaled by the same sword
Choose your weapon, stains splattered upon your flag
Tattered rag shielding the exterior inferior
Stall face to face with a forms that force your downfall
Admittedly suspicious of your cadence, your network's on hiatus
Permanent, provoked and choked upon the potency
The peril be the penetrating agent pierce the insights
Why the cold sweats at midnight? Why the dim light?
Why are we staring at a truth from the inside?
Why the pen slide with vigor on a put down?
Like why'd I put my foot down stomp your city
A-E-S-O-P scoping through the myrth, opening minds behind the smirks
Only in my sweetest dreams do my streams lack troubled waters
Babbling brooks with babbling crooks
Only in my sweetest dreams do my streams lack troubled waters
Shallow pools full of shallow fools
[Verse Two]
I've seen misery, I've seen disgust dust ridden ruins
Ironclad oracle test recon unit disperse silently
Over confidence leads to irony
Plot twist foolhardy Icarus shifted in facets of my form
Forbidden aspects of the swarm a thorn upon your side
A storm upon the rise, Adam, ire crush come brush upon the red zone
Crook you're shook you started poorly
Your powers parted pace uncharted territory
Disoriented malicious bar you'll burn your bridges
This craft requires first drafts
Graphs, gritted blueprints of nemesis perimeter
Hunting by night compute, twenty one mic salute
One life polluted, concerned muffle moans
From the nine rings of Donnie's hell burn you in your slumber
Sleepwalk then pulled under now
Whipping through the willows is the warden of this garden
Slipping through the silhouetted skylines Aesop sidewinds jaded
Don't wind up war painted into the jungle the solution's not intrusion
The starving institution broke your mainframe
I pose the question, are these waiting games worth it or worthless?
While I comb the crowd for clues your naivety hands be my purpose
Our planet is the pivotal point
In which this network slowly turns to filter kicks
We out-box the berserk bewildered by the wilderness
My clench is frantic clutch manners falling through underbrush
Touch fools that duel with a dominant
The evil-minded tried to triple six me but he missed me
Intervene; emcees appear as red blips on my color radar screen
Only in my sweetest dreams do my streams lack troubled waters
Babbling brooks for babbling crooks
Only in my sweetest dreams do my streams lack troubled waters
Shallow pools full of shallow fools

- Yield
- Makes about 10 cups, serving 8
- For the chutney
- 1/4 cup sliced blanched almonds
- 1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 2 jalapeño chilies, (wear rubber gloves)
- 2 cups loosely packed coriander
- For the soup
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- a 3- to 3 1/2-pound butternut squash, peeled, halved, the seeds and strings discarded, and the flesh cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 6 cups chicken broth
- two 4-inch strips of orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 8 coriander sprigs for garnish
- Make the chutney:
- In a blender or food processor blend the almonds, the coconut, the jalapeño, a pinch of salt, and 1/3 cup water until the mixture is ground fine. Add the coriander and blend the mixture until it is ground fine. (This recipe makes what is known as a dry chutney, which has a slightly grainy texture.) The chutney may be made 8 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes about 1 cup.
- Make the soup:
- In a kettle cook the onion in the butter and the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the squash and 1/2 cup water, and cook the mixture, covered, over moderately low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Add the broth, the zest, and the juice and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 15 minutes. In a blender or food processor purée the mixture in batches and strain it through a sieve into a large bowl. The soup may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- Ladle the soup into 8 bowls and garnish each serving with about a tablespoon of the chutney, to be stirred into the soup, and a coriander sprig.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — It wasn't the way Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen wanted to perform in his first start on the road.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — It wasn't the way Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen wanted to perform in his first start on the road.
His white uniform was covered in grass stains by halftime. He was harassed, battered and bruised in a 30-10 loss to No. 18 Florida. Allen finished 17-of-41 for 164 yards with an interception. That's a 70.2 quarterback rating, well below his season rating coming into the game of 149.6.
Allen also lost a fumble in the first quarter on a blindside hit.
"Just too many issues, too many dropped balls," Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema said. "BA battled his tail off. He came back after getting hit pretty hard. We were breaking down in our protections. A couple of guys we turned loose got some blindside shots. We have to get that corrected."
Allen started slow and never recovered. He was 2-of-5 passing for 39 yards in the first quarter. But 31 of those yards came on a completion to Hunter Henry. But thanks to 81 rushing yards on 11 carries in the quarter, Jonathan Williams was able to punch in a touchdown late in the opening quarter for a 7-0 lead.
After Florida made it 7-3 early in the second quarter, Arkansas took over at its own 25. Five plays into the drive, Allen scrambled right and tried to find Keon Hatcher with a sidearm throw on third-and-5 at the Razorbacks 41. Instead, he hit Florida's Loucheiz Purifoy between the numbers for a 42-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 10-7 lead for the Gators.
The sophomore from Fayetteville didn't shy from accepting blame for the loss.
"I missed a lot of throws, obviously that pick 6 is one of those things I could have done better," Allen said. "I'm not proud of my performance at all. I didn't think I did what it took to win this game."
It's the second consecutive game Allen has thrown a TD for the opposing team. Both came when the game was close and flipped the momentum against Arkansas. The previous week Allen threw a pick 6 against Texas A&M. The Aggies led 24-20 opening the second half, the interception return made it 31-20 and A&M won 45-33.
Early in the fourth quarter, Allen was hit hard by Dante Fowler Jr. after he threw an incompletion. Allen left the game for the rest of the series as trainers worked on what he said was a "jammed" finger. The hit drew a roughing the passer penalty, one of two committed by the Gators.
Allen returned on the next series, but threw seven consecutive incompletions. He didn't complete another pass until the late in the game, when the outcome was decided.
Allen said the Florida defense, which has now held 12 consecutive SEC opponents to less than 20 points, lived up to its reputation as the best in the nation.
"Their defense is No. 1 for a reason. They've got a speed. They've got a lot of different schemes and coverages."

Study shows cannabis more detrimental to teens than previously known
A new Canadian study published in Neurobiology of Disease found that daily intake of cannabis, or marijuana, in youth can cause depression and anxiety along with irreversible adverse long-term effects on young brains.
Focusing on the brain compounds serotonin and norepinephrine, which are linked with mood and brain function, teens who use cannabis were discovered to have decreased serotonin transmission, leading to mood disorders, as well as increased norepinephrine transmission, which causes increased long-term susceptibility to stress. As one of the first to evaluate how cannabis influences depression and anxiety in adolescents, it is also one the first to show that marijuana consumption causes more harm during adolescence than adulthood.
We are thankful for these important findings on the damaging effects of this illicit drug especially for youths. May such information help all teenagers make wise choices for a full and bright future filled with wholesome possibilities.

Bribery in football? Sounds familiar, huh? Got this from Associated Press:
"Two European newspapers say they have obtained a document naming three FIFA executive committee members who allegedly received secret payments from world soccer's former marketing agency.
The allegations come three days before the trio are to take part in FIFA's vote on the hosts for the 2018 and 2002 World Cups.
Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger and Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung identify them as Ricardo Teixeira of Brazil, Nicolas Leoz of Paraguay and Issa Hayatou of Cameroon.
The reports say the men received kickbacks from marketing agency ISL from 1988-99. ISL went bust in 2001.
The newspapers say they obtained the same document that the BBC plans to feature in a documentary being aired Monday.
FIFA said it had no comment on the reports."

WALTHAM, Mass. — Brandeis University junior forward Dara Spital (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) had a hand in all three goals to match a career-high with five points tonight as the Judges defeated Wellesley College, 3-0, in a non-conference women's soccer matchup on Gordon Field. With the win, Brandeis improves to 6-1 on the season. The Judges are ranked No. 16 in the nation in Division III by the NSCAA, No. 17 by D3soccer.com. Wellesley falls to 3-6 with the loss.
Spital wasted little time in scoring the game-winning goal, knocking one home just 64 seconds into the contest, rookie back Jessica Morana (Shrewsbury, Mass./Shrewsbury) played a terrific through-ball that split two defenders. Released alone on the keeper, Spital chipped the ball over for her sixth goal of the season, momentarily tying her for the team lead. Morana's assist was her first collegiate point in just her second career start for the Judges.
Wellesley held Brandeis at bay the rest of the half, with junior goalkeeper Claire Cerda (Coral Gables, Fla./Ransom Everglades) making three stops as the Judges outshot the Blue, 6-3, in the first 45 minutes. The hosts asserted their dominance in the second half, however, outshooting Wellesley, 12-0, and adding two more goals.
In the 62nd minute, the Judges added their first insurance goal when Spital put a beautiful cross on the head of classmate Sapir Edalati (Great Neck, N.Y./Great Neck South). Edalati buried it into the left side of the net for her seventh of the season, putting her atop the Judges' goal-scoring list - for the moment. Spital rejoined her atop the squad in the 87th minute when she took Morana's throw-in, created space with a dribble into the box and blasted a left-footed strike for her seventh of the season and the 21st of her career. It was her sixth career multi-goal game.
Cerda finished with seven saves and two goals allowed in the losing effort. Sophomore Kat Goldsmith (Armonk, N.Y./Greenwich Acad.) plated the final 17 minutes with one save and one goal allowed. Brandeis senior Michelle Savuto (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) recorded her fourth shutout of the season with one save. The win was the fourth in a row and the 11th in the last 12 meetings for the Judges against the Blue.
Brandeis returns to action on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Bowdoin College. Wellesley hosts Cedar Crest College Saturday at 1 p.m.

Fourier Analysis [MA4064] - WS 16/17News Timetable Course Material People Fourier series and the Fourier transform play amazingly many different roles in maths, science, and engineering: they are
- powerful tools in solving mathematical problems which seem unrelated to Fourier analysis (e.g., to solve partial differential equations),
- output data of interest in their own right (experimental X-ray images are essentially optical measurements of Fourier transforms, and the human ear essentially Fourier-decomposes acoustic signals),
- important paradigms of more general concepts (such as diagonalizing transformations of differential operators in functional analysis, or decomposing maps into group homomorphisms in algebra and number theory)
- and even a basic part of fundamental models (they underlie the notion of ''momentum'' in quantum mechanics).

Every Sunday, The Simple Dollar reviews a personal finance book or other book of interest.
Here's the flat-out truth about running a small business: you, the business owner, are where the buck stops. Period. Small businesses are a great way to start earning more money, but they're not easy.
When something goes wrong, it's up to you to clean it up. Yes, you may have employees who will take care of it, but those employees are far from perfectly reliable – and often, when you're in startup mode, you don't have employees to take care of the problem.
You've also got the demands of needing a certain level of income, either to survive off of the business or to earn enough to jump into the business full time, which means that when something does go wrong, you've got a powerful motivator to drop everything and fix it.
The end result? Sometimes, starting and running a small business can inject complete chaos into your life. A server goes down and you're forced to choose between that and your child's first soccer game. An employee fails to show up and you have to fill in, ditching a date night with your wife. Or, you choose to forget about the business and it begins to fail because of unmet customer expectations. Either way, you lose. (I have to make choices like this sometimes – I decided a long time ago to sacrifice the long term health of The Simple Dollar at the altar of my family's needs when the choice comes to that.)
How do you manage all of the chaos of a small business without going crazy? That's the topic of Clate Mask and Scott Martineau's book Conquer the Chaos. Small business really is a juggling act, particularly during the startup era. Does this book have solid advice for dealing with this? Let's find out.
1 – The Entrepreneurial Revolution
Why do people become entrepreneurs and start their own businesses? Time. Control. Freedom. Running your own business gives you these things in a way that being an employee simply cannot. You also, of course, have the direct relationship between your work and your income, which means that you aren't merely a cog in someone else's machine. All of this can be incredibly tempting. But…
2 – Enter, Chaos
When you make the choice to dig into entrepreneurship, you find yourself constantly have to make very difficult choices between your small business and your personal life. Do you choose to spend this evening watching a movie with your wife or building a better website? Do you meet with this great potential customer or do you make it to your daughter's recital? No matter what you choose, you'll have some regret about missing the other choice. Even worse, you're often making these types of choices – the things that form a huge part of the foundation of your life – on the complete spur of the moment. It's stressful and chaotic.
3 – Grow or Die
Making the challenge more difficult is that your business has a very simple imperative, especially during the startup phase: grow or die. Most businesses don't open the doors with the ability to pay the bills. They have to grow to make it. In order to grow the business, you're going to be pushed strongly towards the "business" choices instead of the "personal" choices, especially at first.
4 – Emotional Capital
What you begin to find is that you have only so much passion inside of you. How are you going to use that passion? Are you going to channel that passion into your personal life and view the business as merely a support structure (one that probably won't survive over the long term)? Or are you going to channel that passion into the business, growing something tremendous? Alternately, you can try to split the two, but this will deal a lot of difficult choices onto your plate.
5 – Disciplined Optimism
The solution? Discipline. Spend some time figuring out what the priorities are well in advance so that you're not stressed out and torn when a challenging decision comes before you. Better yet, resolve those priorities to the point that you feel good about your choice and you feel optimistic about what you're building, whether it's your family or your business or whatever you decide.
6 – Entrepreneurial Independence
Another challenging factor is the double-edged sword of independence. Independence means you get to make your own decisions, but it also means that you don't have the guidelines, advice, and parameters that a typical job has. My best solution for this is to find a mentor who can guide you through some of this difficult transition.
The rest of the book really focuses on some of the resolutions for these problems, after the authors made clear what the challenges are.
7 – Centralize
One thing that many harried small business owners do is that they keep tossing in "solutions" for specific problems. While this can help in the short term, eventually there are so many "solutions" in place that the regular operation of the business can be confusing. You're far better off centralizing things with only one system for handling everything – much like GTD handles everything for your personal tasks.
8 – Follow-Up
Another thing that often happens with small businesses is that you find yourself with tons and tons of loose ends, all of which need to be followed up on. While it's often tempting to just go start new initiatives, it's usually more rewarding in the long run to devote time to tying up all of the loose ends in front of you before moving on. If you don't do this, the sheer weight of all of the loose ends will crush any forward progress you want to make because so many of the things you need in order to move forward will simply be undone.
9 – Automate
This chapter doesn't refer so much to automation as it does to having a series of very standardized procedures for various things you'll be doing as a small business owner: customer follow-up, inventory, and things like that. Part of that standardized procedure relies on having a reliable calendar that reminds you of when specific steps of that procedure needs to be done. An example: if you would ideally like to follow up with a new customer three times at certain intervals after their initial purchase, these can be entered into your calendar immediately after the purchase. Then, on that day, you just look at your calendar and boom there's the reminder of the follow-up you need to do.
10 – Avoiding the Backslide
Once you get things rolling well, it's easy to sometimes fall back into chaotic situations. One easy way to tell whether or not you're falling back or you're about to run into trouble is to ask yourself if your business would survive if you disappeared for a few weeks. If you can't say yes, then you're on the verge of backsliding – your systems aren't up to snuff to avoid potential chaos.
Is Conquer the Chaos Worth Reading?
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is in the planning stages of running a small business or is having difficulty with their current business. Conquer the Chaos really isolates what most of the common problems are for a small business owner and provides at least the outline of some solutions for those problems.
I would probably couple this book with a great book on time and information management, like GTD, which focuses heavily on implementing a centralized system that can deal with a lot of the challenges in this book.
This book works best when it's applied during the "thinking" and "planning" part of small business preparation – once the ship has started to sail, much of what's in this book is harder to implement and consider. In other words, if you're looking at entrepreneurship in the future, particularly the short term, give this book a read.

Upon occasion – especially while watching the Wizards – I think to myself, "Self? You could do better than these guys, right? Sure, you're not as tall as most of these guys and you have trouble going to your left, you tend to get wheezy after just a couple laps up the court, your sweat makes people not want to talk to you, you choke on the gum you're chewing 3/4 of the possessions, and your on-court communication consists mostly of reciting lines from 'White Men Can't Jump,' but still, the Wizards are awful." Now I know you think it's weird that I address myself as Self, but if I didn't do that how would I know who I'm talking to? That's not what we were thinking was weird. So I hooped a little last night and in between bouts of crying and light-headedness, it occurred to me what I had that seemingly most pros lack this season: health and patience. Horford, Bargnani, Rose , T.J. Ford and Lawson all missed games last night. We're just 12 percent through the season and everyone's getting hurt in a hurry. I'm healthy and more important, I'm patient. The trick this fantasy basketball season really has less to do with your draft and more to do with your ability to stream. So we're looking at a teachable moment today, kids. This ain't the season to hit the FA pool in search of a player who'll last you the remainder of the year. None of 'em will. Live for today. Who's scoring tonight? Who played well last night and should see minutes for the next couple of nights? You have LeBron? Cool. You have Kobe? Hey, that's nice. But did you grab Shumpert? What about Hawes? Mar$hon? Mullens? Ryan Anderson? These are the names that will show up on more winning rosters this season than your Montas, your Josh Smiths and your Danny Grangers, I guarantee it. Some of you get it already. You know. Day-by-day. Who's hot today and maybe tomorrow, but forget next week. You'll have to drop today's guy next week. We're looking at the hardest fantasy basketball season in the brief history of fantasy basketball. Embrace it and pay no attention to the weeping that occurs every time I attempt a layup in your neighborhood gym. More fantasy basketball below. Get excited.
Andrea Bargnani – Strained calf. Re-read the introductory blurb in today's post, then grab Ed Davis.
Leandro Barbosa – Double digit scoring in three straight games, including 24 last night. He's on a hot streak, and points are all he's giving you on a hot streak. Not to be uppity, but he's not giving you enough points to make it worth the effort of your finger clicking his name on the FA page.
Isaiah Thomas – Not sure what's worse: that Toronto allowed 20/3/6 from rookie Thomas in 24 minutes, or that John Salmons played an additional six minutes and produced about a third of that.
Zaza Pachulia – Got mistaken for Vladimir Radmanovic three times by the Pacers' announcing crew. To be fair, being called RadMan, is better than being called "BrickSkull," like he's always being called in my head. With Al Horford out after hurting his shoulder, both "Radmanovics" are worth an add and will see good minutes.
Evan Turner – 16/7/2 and that's two solid performances in two nights. One of those performances was against the Knicks, though. That's like the Rolling Stones bragging about selling out the Garden 20 consecutive nights, when by "Garden" they mean the one in Charlie Watts' backyard.
Derrick Rose – Sat out last night's game with turf toe. Soon after the game started, it was revealed that it was a flexion sprain, which is less serious than turf toe. By halftime, it was revealed that there probably isn't anything wrong with Rose at all except the fact that they had to play three games in a row. This was the closest to an off night Rose was going to get. Dollars to donuts says we see Rose in the next game.
John Lucas – Got all career-high everything in Rose's stead (25/8/8, in 45 minutes). Let other owners freak out and grab him. He needed 28 shots to get to 25 and he won't see 40 minutes in a game again this season.
Andray Blatche – Out with a … a, uh … a shoulder injury? He didn't know Rose was sitting this one out. #HeScurred
Lamar Odom – 6/2/2, with a block in 15 minutes. Okay, okay. Uncle. The Mavs have won three straight and Odom just hasn't been a part of it. Drop him, but drop him someplace you can find him quickly in case he gets hot. I'm thinking pantry or top dresser drawer.
Delonte West – We're officially nicknaming him "Misrilou" now. Cool? Cool.
Kawhi Leonard – 11/8, with 2 blocks as he replaced Gary Neal in the starting lineup, who replaced Danny Green in the lineup, who replaced Manu Ginobili in the lineup. It's a regular rostisserie. What can we deduce from all this? That T.J. Ford will be easier to replace? No. That 8 boards and 2 blocks is a weird line for a shooting guard? No. That Manu is kind of irreplaceable? Bingo.
Kobe Bryant – Hey! Did you guys see Kobe score 40 again last night!?! Yes. We all saw. Earth's entire population is well aware, thank you.
Devin Harris – 3/2/5, on 1-for-7 shooting. He's shooting .347 on the season and only averaging 4.5 assists a night. November Adam thought Harris was going to be a good bargain. January Adam agrees … assuming you're looking for a good bargain on stank crap.
Jordan Farmar – Dropped six threes for a total of 26 without anyone being hurt. Wait. No, no. Deron Williams turned an ankle and got booted from the game. As you were. Stay back ye four horsemen.
Chris Bosh – 7/9, with a block by halftime. He would have had a double-double but totally forgot that Chris Paul was on the Clippers now and was more than a little starstruck.

NEWS- Dam demo: Breach at Woolen Mills good for shad
Half a million tiny shad will be dumped into the Rivanna River at Darden Towe Park this spring. And soon, after several years in the ocean, they'll have a way to return to their old spawning grounds.
The Rivanna Conservation Society has long lobbied to breach the 1830 Woolen Mills dam so the American shad can return to spawning waters it hasn't seen in nearly 200 years.
Last week, Albemarle County issued a demolition permit for a partial breach of the dam.
"This is the first one in a series of approvals," says Jason Halbert, the Conservation Society member who's spearheaded the breach for the past five-and-a-half years, winning the support of most of the Woolen Mills neighborhood and the dam's owner.
Presley Thach's father bought the old mill in 1964, and the deal included the dam. Thach took a wait-and-see position when Halbert first broached the breach, but he did allow the conservation group to conduct a study of its removal and eventually gave permission to take down most of the granite block dam leaving only 75 to 95 feet standing.
The turning point? "Once the neighborhood was on board," answers Thach. "It always looked like removing the dam was positive, but we didn't want to do that until they were on board."
Former Woolen Mills Neighborhood Association president Allison Ewing presided over a January 2005 meeting at which the Society presented the results of its engineering study.
"At the meeting, I asked for a show of hands, and there seemed to be overall support," she recalls. And Ewing thinks it will be good for the river to remove the dam.
Ewing, a "green" housing architect, says that the neighborhood– whose vocal members include a lawn-mowing refusenik and an environmentally employed former mayor– now mostly supports the project.
But some folks whose property abuts the river see Halbert as meddling in their backyards. They include solar energy pioneer Roger Voisinet, who lives in one of three historic East Market street duplexes on the Rivanna built in the 1830s for the mill's manager.
Voisinet claims that saying the neighborhood supports tearing down the dam is like "saying the U.S. supports the war in Iraq. The only people who should have a say are those on the river."
Without the dam, there would be no Woolen Mills neighborhood, says Voisinet. "The dam was to the Woolen Mills factory what the sun is to the earth," he declares. "It's the most important factor in the Woolen Mills neighborhood history."
Voisinet questions the impact a breached dam will have on the river and the importance of bringing shad back. "This is all because someone became spokesperson for the shad," he says. "Who's the spokesperson for migrating geese?"
Dan Sebring is a regular on the Rivanna Trail every morning, and he, too, prefers leaving the dam intact, calling the breach "a feel-good project." He's concerned about the ecology that's developed over the past 150 years in the waters on the upper side of the dam. "It's become a meeting place for wood ducks and Canadian geese because of the still water and breadth of the river," he says.
Last April, 4,000 shad fry were released in the Rivanna in the hopes that in four to six years they'll return as adults to spawn. "That's the vision driving me, to have shad return as they have for thousands of years," Halbert says.
"They probably made good bass food," says Sebring.
The Albemarle permit will be attached to an application that goes to the Virginia Marine Resources Council, and from there the plan will be scrutinized by a slew of state and federal agencies, including the Department of Historical Resources, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Department of Environmental Quality, and the Army Corps of Engineers.
Those agencies have been reviewing the plan, and Halbert doesn't expect a problem getting approval.
As soon as he has permits in hand, the Society will send the project out for competitive bid. He declines to say how much money the group has raised through grants and individual donations, but says there's still some fundraising to be done.
"We hope to start the deconstruction process in late summer or early fall," says Halbert, and have the waters unleashed by the end of the year. "The idea," he says, "is to leave a significant portion of the dam standing for historical representation."
Halbert's work isn't done. He's looking at breaching another dam, but he declines to say where. "We have the owner's permission, so that one should be easier," he says.
Sixty-five percent of the Woolen Mills dam could be down by the end of the year.

Opinion analysis: Court rejects implied vesting of patents in federal contractors
For the second time in a week, the Supreme Court affirmed the long-suffering Federal Circuit in a patent case. The decision this week came in No. 09-1159, Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University v. Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. Of particular interest to Court watchers, the Court paid no heed in either case to the views of the Solicitor General, which usually has a high degree of success in pressing government views on the Court, especially in statutory cases, and has led much of the charge criticizing Federal Circuit doctrines in the past.
The case here is an interesting one as a matter of jurisprudence, posing a classic conflict between text and policy. The question is where title vests to inventions funded by federal grants: Stanford (the relevant government contractor), backed by the federal government, argued for a rule vesting title in the contractor university, implied from the structure of the Bayh-Dole Act that permits contractors to retain patents instead of having them to go to the United States. Roche (the beneficiary of a contract with the inventor) argued that the statute's traditional role applies "" vesting title in the actual inventors or their assignees. Although the text pretty strongly favors Roche, Stanford and the United States (as amicus) presented a strong policy case for public ownership of publicly funded inventions.
On its surface, little is at stake in the case, which arises only because the contract Stanford used at the time of this invention was not written with sufficient precision to assign the invention to Stanford; modern contracts (and most contracts even at the time this case arose) explicitly transferred rights to the contractor from the employee. On a deeper level, however, the case provides an opportunity to get a sense for the Court's perspective on the relative significance that it should accord to the individual inventor in the modern patent system. What we learn is that the Court is not so troubled by the idea of federally funded inventions passing into private ownership as to depart from a straightforward reading of the statute.
Writing for the Court, the Chief Justice's succinct opinion treated the case as a simple one. It started by emphasizing the baseline rule in patent law that rights in a patent traditionally vest in the inventor. The Court has upheld this idea numerous times, in cases dating back more than 150 years. Most importantly for present purposes, it has found it to be true even in the case of inventions made by federal employees in the scope of their employment. The Court also noted that Congress on several occasions has departed from that rule explicitly, adopting statutes providing that title to certain classes of inventions "vests in" the United States.
Against that rhetorical backdrop, the Court could easily dismiss the idea that Bayh-Dole implicitly might vest title to inventions made by individuals working with federal grant money in their employer (Stanford University as opposed to the individual researcher). Pulling out the Court's traditional dictionary tools, he showed how reasonable it was to treat the invention "of the contractor" as meaning an invention owned by the contractor (as opposed to one owned by the contractor's employees).
Responding to the concern that a holding permitting federally funded inventions to "vest" in private parties would wreak some earth-shattering change, the Court closed by emphasizing that existing practice is entirely consistent with its holding. If the inventions vest in the contractor in the first place, why do contractors (like Stanford) try so hard to get employees to transfer inventions to them? Most telling of all, citing an amicus brief from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (authored by Bob Long at Covington and Burling), he emphasized the current practice of NIH, the agency at issue here (and surely one of the largest distributors of federal grant money): NIH tells its contractors that they must obtain assignments because inventions vest in employees (and thus would stay with the employees, as the Court holds here, unless there is a valid assignment). It is difficult to think that the decision will cause any substantial dislocation when the most prominent grantor already has been acting on the assumption that the law is precisely as the Court holds here.
The short shrift the Court gave to the position of the Solicitor General (and the petitioner) is evident from the dissenting opinion filed by Justice Breyer, which Justice Ginsburg joined. Even Justice Breyer does not go so far as to adopt the Solicitor General's view that federally funded patents vest in the contractor. Although Justice Breyer expresses skepticism that it makes sense to let these inventions vest in the employees, his preferred disposition is to reverse on the basis of a ground not presented as a basis for review: a remand to the Federal Circuit with instructions that it reconsider the contract interpretation that permitted Stanford to lose in the first place.

1 of 5 stars
Contrary to popular belief, Australian white bread flour isn't bleached – it's made from wheat that's milled to remove the outer layers of the grain. The result is a soft slice with less flavour to compete with fillings. it doesn't have the fibre of wholegrain, but it's a good source of protein and carbs. it's fortified with thiamin, iodine and folic acid, too.
Did you know?
Additives that make the dough rise rapidly also make the glycaemic index (gi) go up, so the energy you get from white bread won't last. Combat its high gi with protein-rich sandwich fillings such as cheese, egg, chicken or peanut butter. Fibre: about 1g per slice.
3 of 5 stars
When it's made from ground whole grains, wholemeal bread has a similar nutritional value to wholegrain bread. However, most packaged wholemeal is made by recombining white flour with the bran and wheatgerm removed during milling. This creates a longer-lasting flour but doesn't provide the same nutritional balance. Wholemeal bread has more fibre, vitamins and minerals than white, plus it's fortified with iodine and folic acid.
Did you know?
Wholemeal bread is faster to digest and has a higher GI than wholegrain. Fibre: a healthy 2g per slice.
2 of 5 stars
These are made with or without added yeast. The health rating depends on the flour used.
Did you know?
Broken pieces of flatbread are a healthy alternative to crackers. Spray with oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 2-3 minutes at 180ºC. Fibre: varies, depending on the flour used and the weight of the piece, from 1 to 7g per piece.
4 of 5 stars
While multigrain bread is white bread with grains mixed in, wholegrain has grains (and often seeds) added to wholemeal flour for extra nutritional value. Wholegrain breads (including rye and sourdough varieties) have up to four times the fibre of white breads, making them one of the healthiest options.
Did you know?
Wholegrain breads are low GI because the seeds and grains take longer to digest. This is good for lunchtime sandwiches, as the slow release of energy keeps you full for longer. Soy and linseed adds good omega-3 fats to the mix, too. Fibre: varies from 1.5 to 4.5g per slice.
4 of 5 stars
Rye bread has a heavier texture than other breads due to the lower gluten content. Light rye, made from rye and wheat flours, comes in halfway between white and wholemeal for health, but wholegrain rye, with added grains, comes top for its fibre and vitamin content.
Did you know?
People with coeliac disease must avoid all rye bread. Fibre: varies from 1 to 4g per slice.
2 of 5 stars
Let's face it, some kids won't eat grainy bread, which is where high-fibre white can help. With added fibre from legumes, it has more benefits than white bread, but lacks the full range of vitamins and minerals of wholemeal.
Did you know?
Some high-fibre loaves have added omega-3 fats – useful for those who don't eat fish – so check the label. Fibre: generally 2g per slice.
5 of 5 stars
Wholegrain sourdough sourdough rises for up to 18 hours, giving it more flavour and a low GI. Vitamins, minerals and fibre levels vary depending on the flour – wholegrain sourdough wins across the bread board from nutritionists.
Did you know?
Some loaves labelled sourdough aren't sourdough – they're artificially flavoured. Always check the label. Fibre: varies from 1 to 4.5g per slice.
Here's a guide to our star ratings for health:
1 star – not the healthiest choice
2 stars – some fibre, vitamins or minerals
3 stars – a good choice for fibre
4 stars – high in wholegrains and fibre
5 stars – the healthiest choice all round

So you find yourself with only a day to spare in Melbourne. That's tight but there's still so much you can see & do. Follow this itinerary, or simply select parts of it, to truly immerse yourself in the world's most liveable city. Or if you have more time in town simply slice and dice our suggestions and use them when suits you!
24 Hours in Melbourne. Explore, unearth, taste and experience.
Up, up and away.
Something that very few visitors, and perhaps even fewer locals can say is that they have witnessed Melbourne wake up. A city of close to five million people doesn't subtlety awaken. Lights go on, people emerge, trains and trams buzz and cars begin to hit the roads.
However you can rise above all this hubbub and get a birds-eye view as the city stirs. Quite literally! A hot air balloon ride above all this man-made energy and momentum is almost an ironic experience as you float serenely as a mere spectator to the show. Mother nature and the prevailing winds decide which path you will take and that oldest of power-sources – flame – dictates your altitude.
Your 24 hours in Melbourne unfurls beneath you as a magnificent patchwork of buildings, parklands, beaches and roadways gliding slowly by. It is spectacular and seldom-seen in equal measure. Very few have ever seen this unique view of Melbourne. It is a little like being the narrator to a storybook as you oversee the world beneath you.
Sure this is a 'splurge' but it's a truly compelling, invigorating and memorable way to start your 24 hours in Melbourne!
More info:
^A one hour sunrise balloon flight over Melbourne with Victoria's largest and award-winning hot air balloon company – Global Ballooning – costs $440 per adult and $340 per child (7 – 12 years old). For more info and options visit their website.
Coffee and Laneways.
Phew. You'll need a coffee after all that adventure. You'll find though that Melburnians don't need a reason to have a coffee. It's a religion here! Our shrines are the thousands of coffee-shops, coffee-vans and cafes spread throughout the city. Sure we'll still talk to you before our first coffee of the day but we'll be much nicer afterwards.
As a visitor we recommend exploring the labyrinthine maze of laneways and alleys in the CBD. Ground zero amongst these has to the grouping of lanes around De Graves St, Campbell Arcade and Centre Pl.
Here you'll find an amazing confluence of city-workers, business-meetings, hipsters and tourists buzzing in and around the outdoor tables, chairs and shop-fronts. Good luck not taking scores of photos here. And you should – this is definitively 'Melbourne'.
Just wander the lanes and find your own spot for breakfast and prepare for a large dose of people-watching.
A tram ride to Queen Victoria Market.
To use public transport in Melbourne you need to purchase and add credit to a specific transport card called a Myki. Similar to an Oyster Card in London for example. You can't pay-and-ride onboard. To be frank, for a visitor, it can be a bit of a hassle so for our itinerary there really isn't any need to purchase one.
However in much better news there is a generous section of the Melbourne CBD and Docklands precinct that is in fact free to travel around aboard Yarra Trams. This is a great option if you have weary traveller legs or if the weather is either too hot or cold to walk too far. (And no this doesn't happen on the same day all that often!)
A tram is another true Melbourne icon so regardless of your destination you just gotta ride one. Even our Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, hops on a tram when he's in town. True!

Queen Victoria Market ("Queen Vic" to the locals)
Dating back to 1878 the Queen Vic Market is the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere. It is an explosion of sights, sounds and smells with an enormous assortment of stalls, shops and food vans to cater to all tastes and paletes. It is a place to wander and observe. The shaded aisles and air-conditioned food hall are also a welcome respite and escape during those occasional oppressively hot summer days in January and February.
Our favourite activity here is just to meander and take in the action in the food markets. It is such a world away from boring, ubiquitous supermarkets. It is more like the manic markets of Asia and Europe. Here enigmatic stall-holders bellow out their daily specials, customers prod and sniff the produce and wherever you look food glistens around you. (Closed Monday and Wednesday)

Street art and Southbank.
Now tram your way back across the CBD to the iconic Flinders Street Station. You can grab a great photo of its magnificent heritage facade from the corner of Flinders and Swanston Sts. But this isn't actually our destination per se. We have come for street art and Melbourne is the undisputed home of Australia's urban art scene. We are heading for a very famous laneway less than a block away from here. Small alleyway, massive reputation.
Hosier Lane.
Hosier and the adjoining Rutledge Lane are the epicentre of Melbourne's vibrant street art scene. Not only is street art and graffiti not illegal here it is encouraged by the City of Melbourne. Laneways lathered in artworks is another of those iconic – get-the-camera-out – Melbourne scenes.
If you have more time in town or are very interested in street art and street artists make sure you explore inner-city suburbs such as Fitzroy, Collingwood, Richmond and Brunswick. You can also check out our Melbourne Street Art section featuring some amazing artworks and interviews with some of the cities top urban artists including Rone, Adnate and Kaff'eine.
Melbourne Street Art.
Southbank Promenade.
From Hosier Lane now cross over the Yarra River on the historic Princes Bridge (1888) to the area referred to by locals just as "Southbank". From here there are incredible views back across the river to the skyscrapers of the CBD with the venerable old Flinders Street Station in the foreground.
This section of river-side promenade contains literally hundreds of options to choose from to wine and dine. From haut-cuisine to fast-food and back again. A great option for lunch is the Southgate complex. Southgate offers a diverse mix of restaurants, cafes and bars, a fantastic food court and plenty of retailers for the shopaholic. There is also free wifi throughout the complex for you to post up some of your mornings antics on social media.
A River Cruise | OR | Arts Precinct and Botanical Gardens.
If you fancy putting up the feet for a while and letting the city gently glide by then a river cruise is the perfect option.
We recommend a cruise that will take you upstream where you will pass some of Melbourne's most famous landmarks, gardens and sporting arenas including the fabled MCG.
Once clear of the CBD and the impressive sporting precinct this is a peaceful part of the Yarra affording beautiful views of Toorak mansions, restful parks and ornate bridges. A nice recharge and relax after a busy morning of exploration.
More Info:
^ We recommend City River Cruises and Cruise B: Parks, Sports Precinct and River Gardens. Prices start from $23 per adult or only $50 for a family of four. (Children 4 – 14). Visit their website for more options and information.
Melbourne Arts Precinct and Botanical Gardens.
Another great way to spend the afternoon is to explore the arts, culture and gardens for which Melbourne is so renowned.
The National Gallery of Victoria or 'NGV' was founded in 1861 and is Australia's oldest, largest and most frequented art museum. It is divided into two separate collections housed in different buildings.
The Ian Potter Centre is located in Federation Square and is home to Australian art including Indigenous and non-Indigenous art from the colonial period to the present day. Whilst NGV International resides at 180 St Kilda Road and houses an extensive collection from Europe, Asia, America, and Oceania. General entry to both is free and it is a pleasant ten minute walk between them.
Be sure to cross the road from NGV International to wander amongst the stunning Queen Victoria and Botanical Gardens.
You will most likely get the urge to sit on a park bench or lie down on the grass beneath a shady tree as you wander. You should most definitely succumb to this calling. Chilling in the park is de riguer for Melburnians on a hot summers day.
Time for a Sundownder?
As the sun starts to lower in the sky above it's time to reward oneself for a big day of exploration. Southbank Promenade is replete with many fantastic options for a late afternoon tipple in combination with spectacular views out over the river and city. However the most unique of these, and our favourite spot is Ponyfish Island.
The whole precinct along the river takes on a different atmosphere as evening approaches. Workers and business suits are replaced with diners, jeans, street entertainers and buskers. It's well worth an amble and a few photos.

Best Rooftop Bar in Melbourne. (Our pick anyway!)
If you reaaaalllyy want somewhere special to see the sun set as you nibble on beer-nuts, chat and sip at a mojito then Naked in the Sky in Fitzroy is the spot. Located only about three kilometres from the CBD (grab a cab) the view of the city is unrivalled. Pleasingly you don't actually have to be naked to visit but it isn't a kid-friendly zone. Time seems to melt into the horizon up here but be warned that Thursday – Saturday it will be very busy.
Time to head out of the city. (Not too far)
Whilst there are some amazing restaurants catering to every taste and whim within the CBD we've done that now right? Time to get a feel for another part of the city. The High Street strips with their two storied Victorian shop frontages are archetypal Melbourne. There are many locations to choose from all within about 5 kilometres or so of the city. Some great spots include:
- Chapel Street, Prahran/ South Yarra
- Brunswick Street, Fitzroy (Where Naked in the Sky is located)
- Acland Street, St Kilda
But we are going to suggest Lygon Street for two key reasons.
- It is Melbourne's version of Little Italy
- The further north you travel along it the more 'Independent/ Student' or Bohemian it becomes. There is a great contrast between the two precincts.
Lygon Street, Carlton.
After WW2 there was a great migration of Italian immigrants into Australia. The 2006 census lists roughly 1 million of Australia's 24 million inhabitants as having some Italian heritage. About 30% of this population today lives in Melbourne. So if you love Italian food then to Lygon Street you must come.
It really does feel like traipsing down the viales and piazzas of Italy as you peruse for a place to dine here. And don't worry, in this restaurant strip you will have help. Many of the restaurants have emboldened maitre-d's out the front championing their gastronomic wares. The whole scene is a people-watching delight and the food on offer authentic and delicious. It can be a little hectic in busy summer months but hey so is Italy!
Lygon St, Brunswick.
Fancy something a little more alternative and much less 'touristy'? Then head about two kilometres further north along Lygon Street to the suburb of Brunswick. A friend of mine once described this precinct as like
"being on the set of an independent movie".
One of the biggest dining drawcards here is the perennially popular pizzeria – 400 Gradi. Owner and chef Johnny Di Francesco was crowned the 'master of margherita' at the World Pizza Championships in Parma, Italy in 2014. In the ensuing years many have become disciples to his mouth-watering menu.
Other great options for dinner here include the multi-award winning Rumi (Middle-Eastern), the hearty Sicilian dishes on offer at Bar Idda and the incredibly tasty Thai dishes served at Thaila Thai – an absolute local favourite due to its generous portions and super low prices. And of course we mustn't forget the sweet tooth on our 24 hours in Melbourne. For a sumptuous desert of genuine Italian gelato head to either Zero Gradi or the evergreen local landmark – Gelobar.
Like most of this itinerary though we suggest you just wander and choose the restaurants, bistros, bars and cafes that best suits you and your tastes.
TIP: Don't forget the scores of Food Vans cruising around Melbourne. Melburnians love them!! Serving everything from Thai – Italian, Burgers to Tacos and most cuisines in between. To find out where they are located, and when you can use the pithily named 'Where the Truck' app.
Late night into the early hours.
If you still have any energy left after and a full stomach and an epic day of discovery we recommend a final visit to the CBD laneways. They've turned all grown up now. Thing is you really need to know where to go. Many of the best bars in town lie hidden down darkened alleyways or behind a door without any signage or hint as to what fun and larks lie behind.
We love Section 8 (27-29 Tattersalls Ln) which is not much more than a former vacant lot with a shipping container as a bar. The ambience here is brilliant. It just shows that for a bar to work it's more about the people than the surroundings. It's a cool spot to have a photo taken too. Particularly if your friends and family might find it interesting to see you ordering beer from a shipping container.
Another favourite is Lily Blacks (12 Meyers Place). Self-described as a place for 'the true cocktail aficionado'. It's a place to sip a gin with a good pal in a vibe inspired by 1920's Manhattan. The service is great although entering with a violin case is not recommended.
Still going? Bravo
Wow if you are still reading then we bow to your energy levels and wish to reward you with our absolute all time favourite bar in the city to round out your 24 hours in Melbourne. Careful though – it's low key and laid back. The antithesis of a heaving 'club'.
It's a place to sink into large leather chesterfield couches, stroke your chin and feel wise, peruse a mind-mindbogglingly huge wine list and see the sun rise if the conversation and joie de vivre continue that long. Oh and it's behind one of those non-descript Melbourne doors. You'd never know it's there.
It's called the Melbourne Supper Club (1/161 Spring St) and is often open until 6am – it kinda depends what's happening. If you do stay that late then make sure you look up when you leave. You might just recognise something silently floating above you when you do 😉
Tirelessly researched by the 30 Summers team 🙂
So what do you think?
Let us know in the comments below. Melburnians – what should be added? We'd love to hear your own thoughts.

About 25 persons gathered outside the Upshur County Courthouse early Thursday afternoon to observe the 63rd annual National Day of Prayer in a ceremony conducted by Concerned Women for America of Texas official Sandra Click.
Mrs. Click, the Gilmer area chapter leader of her organization, was among several at Thursday's gathering who individually led prayers before the 20-minute ceremony concluded with those attending holding hands and jointly reciting "The Lord's Prayer."
Standing near the flagpole which is on the courthouse's south lawn, Mrs. Click told the assemblage that the theme for this year's National Day of Prayer is "One Voice, United In Prayer," based on Romans 15:6 in the Bible.
She said those attending were present "to lift up our nation to the Lord."
"I'm glad we have a National Day of Prayer," she added, terming it a sign the nation recognizes God. She further said it is time for Christians to unite because they are all in a "battle" with Satan.
"Do not ever be apologetic that we are a Christian nation," Mrs. Click urged. She said atheists' contention that America wasn't founded by Christians is a "lie."
She called on Ricky Rigsby, Associate Pastor of First Baptist Church of Gilmer, to lead the first prayer. Before doing so, Rigsby said Luke 18 in the Bible had been cited that morning during a prayer rally at the nation's capitol in Washington, and he discussed that scripture.
In his prayer, Rigsby noted airplanes were flying at all 50 state capitols that morning, reminding that "God deserves our worship. . . praise. . .petition."
He asked God to "give us the city of Gilmer," where Christ would reign "supreme." In addition, saying the nation was "established on Christian principles," Rigsby prayed "Bring us back to that, Lord."
The minister said religious influence has been taken off public buildings' walls, and prayed for a return to prayer in public places. "Bring a great revival to this nation," he asked.
When Mrs. Click called on anyone who wanted to lead prayer to do so, a man prayed for President Obama and for those in Washington to seek "truth" more than "special interests." Yet another man prayed for the government and for God to "bring this nation back together."
Joe Welick, who wore a tee shirt mentioning the Biblical verse II Corinthians 7:14, read the text of it: "If my (God's) people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
After two women led prayers, Mrs. Click led one in which she said "the church has been asleep," and it was time to awake. She cited the loss of religion in Europe, said that Christ's enemies "are attacking our faith," and prayed, "Destroy the evil that our young people are being exposed to."
She prayed that young people would know "to not go along just to get along with their friends and peers." And, Mrs. Click added, "Father, we pray that you will have mercy on this land."
Near the ceremony's end, Rigsby noted that the Gilmer Area Ministerial Fellowship will hold periodic prayer meetings on the courthouse steps.

The File Transfer Protocol is so old – it was published in April 1971 – that it once ran on NCP, the predecessor of TCP/IP. And surprise, surprise, it's not terribly secure, and was never designed to be so either.
Security researchers have pointed out that FTP servers are susceptible to a range of problems, including brute force attacks, FTP bounce attacks, packet capture, port stealing, spoofing attacks and username enumeration.
Also, like many IP specifications designed prior before standard encryption approaches like SSL were available, FTP servers don't encrypt traffic, with all transmissions in clear text and usernames, passwords, commands and data readable by anyone sniffing the network.
So why am I bothering to remind you of all of this? I'm doing so because according to the FBI, cybercriminals have begun targeting FTP servers and in doing so, accessing personal health information. The agency reports that these criminals are attacking anonymous FTP servers associated with medical and dental facilities. Plus, don't even know they have these servers running.
Getting into these servers is a breeze, the report notes. With anonymous FTP servers, attackers can authenticate to the FTP server using meaningless credentials like "anonymous" or "ftp," or use a generic password or email address to log in. Once they gain access to PHI, and personally identifiable information (PII), they're using it to "intimidate, harass, and blackmail business owners," the FBI report says.
As readers may know, once these cybercriminals get to an anonymous FTP server, they can not only attack it, but also gain write access to the server and upload malicious apps.
Given these concerns, the FBI is recommending that medical and dental entities ask their IT staff to check their networks for anonymous FTP servers. And if they find any, the organization should at least be sure that PHI or PII aren't stored on those servers.
The obvious question here is why healthcare organizations would host an anonymous FTP server in the first place, given its known vulnerabilities and the wide variety of available alternatives. If nothing else, why not use Secure FTP, which adds encryption for passwords and data transmission while retaining the same interface as basic FTP? Or what about using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol to share files with the world? After all, your existing infrastructure probably includes firewalls, intrusion detection/protection solutions and other technologies already tuned to work with web servers.
Of course, healthcare organizations face a myriad of emerging data security threats. For example, the FDA is so worried about the possibility of medical device attacks that it issued agency guidance on the subject. The agency is asking both device manufacturers and healthcare facilities to protect medical devices from cybersecurity threats. It's also asking hospitals and healthcare facilities to see that they have adequate network defenses in place.
But when it comes to hosting anonymous FTP servers on your network, I've got to say "really?" This has to be a thing that the FBI tracks and warns providers to avoid? One would think that most health IT pros, if not all, would know better than to expose their networks this way. But I suppose there will always be laggards who make life harder for the rest of us!
