Windows 8 Forensics: USB Activity
December 03, 2012 Added by:Dan Dieterle
When I started working on Windows 8 USB drive forensics, I assumed it would be similar to Windows 7. I created a fresh Windows 8 VM and plugged a thumb drive into my local system. The VM recognized it as it should. I shut the VM down and opened it in EnCase to examine what happened...

Why Open Source is Not Always the Best Bet

One would think popular culture might advance beyond its genitalia. Alas…
What's behind the success? Sex still sells; shazam and golly-gee-whiz Wally! Whodothunkit , and all that.
Trip down memory lane; once upon a not too long ago, towns had special little stores with painted over windows where men parked blocks away and then walked. Grandpa and grandma called them dirty books. Ah, but a few years and now it's the rage. Marketing is an amazing thing. Not only does it advertise, but it creates desire. Now that's seduction.
If memory serves, I'm trying to remember something here… Oh yeah, that fifty-percent divorce rate and half, yep half, of all children born out of marriage. Wait till these kids raise their kids. Won't that be fun? But the boomers and the x'ers and the y'ers never were ones to gargle much with self-restraint.
Then there was the London opening. No Shakespeare, no Wilberforce, no good old Churchill. But a healthy dose of vapid reflection about the wonders of the cell phone and music and young people dancing and having fun, with just a flash of Winehouse, the throwaway starlet who ain't going to rehab, no no no. But the queen was there. Yes, fun I tell you. That's the addition and the display of London culture to the earth. Can you imagine watching all that in some sub-equatorial group-hut on the village television?
There was something else not too long ago – Holmes at the theater and Warner Bros. descrying the violence, all the way to the bank. That particular franchise started in 1939. Get yourself some early ones, see if you recognize anything but the utility belt.
I don't know boys & girls. Some days I just don't know. Maybe 50 is too many. Maybe we were better off with plain old black and white.

The career of Alexander was dramatic not only in itself but because of the effects that it had on the political world of the time. The Persian Empire had been the world superpower for centuries, but suddenly it was gone. In its place were created a number of states, each led by one of Alexander's Macedonian officers leading an army equipped and trained in the Macedonian fashion. The Greek city states had likewise been swept away. They were no longer independent, but were subject to one or other of Alexander's successors.
At the time most people recognised the profound change that had come over the world because of Alexander. There was a huge appetite for books about him and his career. Several of the men who had served Alexander wrote their memoirs. Among the most important of these was Ptolemy, son of Lagos, who later became Pharaoh of Egypt. He wrote a long, detailed account of his experiences with Alexander. Nearchus, another senior officer, also wrote up his memoirs Oneiscritus was a third.
Nor was Alexander himself retiring about his exploits. He employed the historian Callisthenes to travel with the Macedonian army and write up its exploits in suitably heroic style. The resulting book was entitled "The Deeds of Alexander". Alexander also employed a geographer named Aristobulous to accompany the army, and he too later wrote a book based on his experiences. Eumenes, the head of the army staff, kept a daily diary. This was not intended for publication and only parts of it ever became public.
All these men were either employed by Alexander or were friends with him. Undoubtedly this coloured their work. They are all complimentary about Alexander. Good deeds are emphasised and treated at length. Events that do not reflect so well on Alexander are either skated over or blamed on somebody else.
Another contemporary book was published by a Greek historian named Cleitarchus. He was from Colophon, but lived most of his life in Egypt. He had travelled to Babylon during Alexander's lifetime, but seems to have begun his work only after Alexander's death. He spoke to many men who had served with Alexander, but also to men who had been involved in politics, some of them opponents of Alexander. Crucially for this book he spoke to at least one of the Greek mercenaries who had fought on the Persian side during the Granicus Campaign. All these accounts were included in the biography of Alexander written by Cleitarchus.
But the real problem when it comes to writing about Alexander is that none of these books has survived to the present day. All these books were lost when the Roman Empire collapsed. Instead we have to rely on the works of men who lived later, but who quoted from the contemporary sources or relied on them.

text: Jerome's Story Jerome Jerome is originally from South Africa and joined the British military serving for 6 years in the RWF as Lance Corporal. Jerome did 2 tours of Afghanistan and upon leaving the army committed himself to working in maritime security for many months. Jerome left this employment in August 2015 for personal reasons and ended up back in Britain with nowhere to live and no money to find alternative accommodation. Jerome was desperate to find employment as he needed to support not only himself but his daughter through her education in South Africa. Jerome is a very intelligent young man whose qualifications include that of a qualified teacher. Jerome found his way to us here at Speke House through Spaces (Single Persons Accommodation Centre for the Ex Services) and was very emotional and worn down with life. Jerome hit several problems once accommodated, mainly around not being able to claim benefits due to him not residing in the UK for the last 6 months. With support from staff he made all the relevant applications and was told he would not be entitled to claim for 3 months. In the meantime, Speke House advertised for a housekeeper and Jerome applied for the position along with 4 others. Jerome was given the post after attending an interview with the management team and he became a member of the Launchpad, Speke House team. Jerome was also working through an agency doing factory work and was also applying for a position with DHL that had been arranged by the team here at Speke House. He constantly worked with staff to ensure he remained employed and able to support himself financially. During his time with us Jerome cancelled his benefit claim and was fully paying his own way including his own rent and bills. He was always cheerful and engaged with all other residents and staff encouraging them to better themselves. He is now more positive and feels like he has a better future. Jerome states that "this is the best place ever and after everything you've been through, living on the streets with nowhere to go I found Speke House. If not for here I don't know where I would be, I couldn't go home to Africa I had no money. But it's all looking good and its happy days" Jerome has since left Speke House and has secured full time employment and accommodation in London and could not of done this without the support of Speke House and Launchpad.

Cervélo » Bikes » Road Bikes
The R5, at the TriStore, has become the go-to bike for those looking to enjoy riding their bike, either on a cycling trip in the French Alps or in and around Sussex's lanes. What makes the R5 so special is its incredible blend of handling and stiffness, topped off by a geometry that never fails to fit and hit the sweet spot, meaning your rides aren't limited by how long or how far. Overall the R5 is 34% stiffer than its predecessor, 21% of that total coming from the headtube through Cervélo's Squoval tube shape engineering and the other 13% coming from the revised BBright bottom bracket that also provides rugged durability. The R5 also boasts subtle changes that boosts the way the bike rides, including an integrated Cervélo-engineered carbon handlebar and stem and carbon aero seatpost. The R5- specific geometry promotes a lower standover height, putting the control back in your hands and extra clearance for up to 28c tyres, so you can now explore the path less travelled. Finally, the R5 is completed with SRAM's Red eTap, wireless electronic gearing that provides futuristic shifting between gears that is smoother, more reliable and durable than previous mechanical operated groupsets as well as reducing rider fatigue with disc brake stopping power.
With 21% more stiffness at the headtube and 13% more at the bottom bracket, the new R5 is our stiffest-ever road frame with rim brakes. But that's far from the whole story: It also incorporates a stiffness-to-weight ratio that has been meticulously tuned to the attacking style of high-performance road cyclists.
Ride Quality
Elite road riders no longer equate comfort with soft, slow bikes. Vertical compliance can reduce fatigue and, in turn, boost power output. Wheel manufacturers' wind-tunnel testing has also shown that wider tyres can deliver aero benefits. For these reasons, tyre clearance for the new R Series has been widened to 28mm. Combine this with a Cervélo-engineered aero seatpost, and vertical compliance is further increased while improving aerodynamics. At the same time, a new profit and handling geometry will have you charging down chicanes and attacking cobbles with complete confidence.
As well as the freedom to use a wider range of tyre sizes, dozens of small, satisfying design details separate good from extraordinary: A subtle-yet-robust chain-stay protector, a sleek fitting top cap, an integrated Cervélo-engineered bar and stem that allows for internal electronic cable routing and easy computer mounting, an aero seatpost with integrated clamp and cover...the list goes on.

I'm so proud to be a Chinese because Chinese New Year is so huge and so happening every where in Malaysia! Of course the happiest moment is to reunion with the family! Unfortunately, it's our first year for not having our beloved granny to celebrate CNY with us...
Recall back previous years. Granny is always the one who prepared the most in cooking! She always cook anything we love to eat during this special festive season since it's just once a year, without thinking that will it make us 'heaty' or 'coldy' or not. The main purpose is just to make us happy and not picky to eat! Normally we tend to ignore those healthy food which taste bad! :x
|All time favourite - Kuih Kapik! Super heaty and I don't care whenever I sees it! XD
*Picture taken in February 2013 *
Steamboat we had during last year's CNY! Look at all the 'heaty' foods!
|And of course, you won't forget about this when you feel super hot during the visiting!
(CNY is all about hot weather XD)
This year's Chinese New Year, since our family can't get to celebrate like how we used to (We children can't visit relatives and the parents can't give angpau), but I'm going to Koh Lipe, Thailand with my cousins for the first 3 days of CNY! Since we can't do anything for this year's CNY, this trip is gonna be so memorable cause we're definitely going to have lotsa tasty but heaty food and get tanned there! *Oops! XD
I hope I won't get sick before or during the trip, so what I'm going to do is to get myself few sachets of Gaviscon along with me during this trip, just to prevent sudden gastric or fever during the journey! So damn 'potong' right if someone get sudden sick in the middle of having fun?! I don't want to be a person who ruined other's mood!!
Now let me ask you another question first,
do you know how to determine your body type, whether you are a hot, cold or neutral person?
I'm obviously a HOT person! Can say that all my favourite food that mentioned in the picture above are in HOT type! Oh gosh! Besides, my eyes get dry, tired and itchy easily, my heart rate increased rapidly whenever I'm fast for something, and I breath so damn loud! And then I checked back the cold type, I don't have any of the symptoms it mentioned... :\
So what will you do if you really get 'heaty' or 'coldy' during this annual festive season after having your favourite hot or cold food, once a year?
- Gaviscon forms a 'raft' over the stomach contents which helps prevent acid coming back up into the esophagus (food pipe)
- The raft acts as a strong physical barrier and helps keep all the components of the stomach contents in the stomach where they work, not letting them seep back up into the oesophagus where they hurt
- It works in 3 minutes to provide long lasting relief of up to 4 hours*. (The effect on individuals may vary)
I'm so happy that Danee mentioned about Gaviscon to me because I'm always thinking that how can I heal my heartburn and indigestion besides changing my eating habit! It's really irritating and disgusting!! Besides, I learned that how does it work!
So if you have met this situation like me before, get your Gaviscon now because it's just 5 days away for our reunion dinner! You can find it in any watsons or guardian outlets ;)
For more information, kindly visit:
So tell me guys, which body type are you in?? Feel free to share with me your experience in facing the problems too! :D And please tell me that I'm not the only person who just knew about Gaviscon few days ago! T.T

This is a great event. It's known as a balade and consists of a walk of about three miles through the vineyards on a beautiful spring day when the vines are green and the fruit is forming, the fields in between are a riot of wildflowers, and the temperature is 75-80o. Along the way, you'll stop at six stations, each has one course in a complete meal designed to complement the wines of the terroir available to taste from the 26 participating wineries. The winemakers are there to answer questions and there are several guides on the trail to provide information on grape varietals, soil composition and geological history of the region. The dessert stage is at a plaza in town where a fine jazz combo plays standards in a mellow ending to the day.
The event is sponsored by the winemakers with support from regional council tourism funds. It's great PR and it sells wine. At the last stop you can buy any of the featured wines and they seemed to be selling well. This is hands-on and local, and when a wine sells out the winemaker rushes back to his cave to get more.
It's fun, educational, delicious; totally without pretension and you get some exercise too. It's hard to imagine feeling better about spending a day eating and drinking.
But I was working. I'd been invited to participate, knew to bring my cameras along and for me it was an assignment. I knew there was no money in this but I coveted the t-shirt. I also knew there would be material for my book and blog and an opportunity to meet many winemakers I didn't already know. So I took it seriously and went to work and for me that means I didn't eat and didn't taste (mostly). I know, I know, men are not very good at multi-tasking, but that's the way I have to work. I don't make good photos when I'm on vacation or tasting wine.
So when I finished the walk and met up with the leaders, the first thing they asked was "Did I enjoy the food?" I said I didn't eat. No food, no wine tasting. I said there was too much work I wanted to do. Bernard responded: "There is work and there is life, you must have both." I love the French, they really talk like this.
Pierrette asked me to stay for the grillade but I was done. I had a shower, some wine, cheese and ibuprophen and went to bed.


text: Contains 3 classic Austen adaptations: Mansfield Park: At 10, Fanny Price goes to live at Mansfield Park, the estate of her aunt's husband, Sir Thomas. Clever, studious, and a writer with an ironic imagination and fine moral compass, she becomes especially close to her cousin Edmund, Thomas's younger son. Fanny is soon possessed of beauty as well as a keen mind and comes to the attention of a neighbor, Henry Crawford. Thomas promotes this match, but to his displeasure, Fanny has a mind of her own, asking Henry to prove himself worthy. As Edmund courts Henry's sister and as light shines on the link between Thomas's fortunes and New World slavery, Fanny must assess Henry's character and assert her heart as well as her wit. Northanger Abbey: Catherine Moreland (Felicity Jones,) a spirited young beauty from the country, enters into the depraved society of Bath with dreams and fantasies sparked by her love of gothic romance novels. There she meets two men vying for her affection - the dashing and jealous John Thorpe (William Beck) and the gentle and sincere Henry Tilney (JJ Feild). Despite the advice of her mischievous new friend Isabella (Carey Mulligan), Catherine treats neither as more than a dear friend. That is until Catherine accepts an invitation to Northanger Abbey from Henry`s grave and severe father, General Tilney (Liam Cunningham). Her passion for the dark and mysterious feeds her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and diabolical villains work their evil on forelorn heroines trapped in isolated castles, much like Northanger.... Emma: An adaptation of Jane Austen's story of marriage and manners set in a picturesque 19th Century village, which revolves around a spoilt young woman, Emma Woodhouse, who delights in influencing the love-lives of her friends, with disastrous results.

questions for project managers inevitably focus on past project experience. The
ability to form detailed and articulate responses is one of the top factors
recruiters look for, since the nature of the position entails so much communication.
You should also be able to demonstrate excellent organizational skills when you
describe previous projects, according to Vasanthan Dasan, CTO and VP of
Engineering for the Armada Group, a cloud computing firm in Silicon
Valley. Demonstrating time-management skills, and the ability to
identify project roadblocks in advance, are also key.
Here's a sample of the questions you'll be asked.
Give me an
example of a project you managed as it relates to this position.
Most project manager interview questions are related to previous
projects. The project manager should be able to articulate project details such
as planning,
methodology, team management, risk management, collaboration, technical tools,
obstacles, communication and results.
The best answer is to give an example of a project that is similar
to your prospective employer's projects. If not, you should at least attempt to
orient the answer as it relates to the position.
Here's a sample project. How
would you go about planning, managing and completing it?
A variation on the first question, this one's designed to test your
quick-thinking ability and depth of knowledge.
Talk about a project you
worked on that had problems and what you did to fix them.
similar question that may be asked: "Explain when an IT project wasn't in
line with what the organization wanted. How did you get around that?"
Managers are frequently asked about challenges and to reveal a situation where
there was conflict that needed to be resolved," says Susanne Currivan,
senior account manager for Project One, a New York-based IT staffing firm.
During a
project, how do you inform all stakeholders of progress on a regular basis?
Effective communication is key to a successful project, so you'll
need to demonstrate numerous ways and tools used to communicate with team
members and stakeholders in the organization.
"Methodology and communication end up being a big part of the
hiring decision," says Craig Kapper, senior regional vice president for
Robert Half Technology. "Do they have the right methodology and does the project
manager consistently relay progress reports to stakeholders?"
What tools
do you typically use to monitor and control a project?
Obviously, there are numerous tools that can be used during a
project, yet some are more robust and scalable than others. The idea here is to
find out if you're using some of the more effective tools available, Kapper says.
How did you
apply your training or certification to a previous position?
question will commonly be addressed to probe your experience or certification,
such as PMI. Interviewers may follow up with a request to give specific
Explain how
you established a relationship with your project team and how you collaborated
to get things done.
is a "culture fit" question designed to discover how you work with
other people. A similar question is: "Give an
example when you received coaching and how you reacted."

Water-colour painting of Tellicherry from the island of Darmadam, or Darmapattam, by an unknown artist, c.1790. The inscription, overwritten on the reverse reads: 'Tellicherry from Durmapatam. Hills round Mahe. Charles Point. P[...] Church. Telly Fort House. Ghauts Calick Wells. A Bungalow built by Mr Falconer. Cochin Cundy Fort ditto by Mr Bailie. Codoly Fort. The entrance to the Dumapm & Codoly rivers'.
Tellicherry, founded in 1683, was the first regular settlement on the Malabar coast. The fort was completed in 1708 by the Kolattiri Rajah and handed to the East India Company for the protection of their factory. In 1776 the factory was reduced to a Residency and in 1794 the factory was abolished by Sir John Shore. It has not been possible to identify Falconer and Bailie with certainty; an Alexander Falconer was in the Madras Civil Service at this period.

Years ago a video went viral. A little boy had a dental treatment and was on his way home. As he was recovering from the anesthesia he couldn't understand what was happening to him or why he felt the way he did. He said quite a few comical things until finally he asked his dad…
Is this real life?
With all they have gone through and are going through, that is the Roberts current mantra.
Is this real life?
As Carrie sits in the waiting room this morning. As Travis is back getting ready to go under anesthesia for his procedure to have the port put in…they are thinking….
Is this real life?
They try their best to have glimpses of real life. The day after Thanksgiving Christmas tree decorating. Their annual tradition to go see Santa last night. "Race car no top" rides.
But…those glimpses are amid doctor appointments. Trips to Houston. Sickness. Surgeries. Biopsies. Chemo treatments.
Is this real life?
Today, Travis is having his port put in and a biopsy done on his liver. The biopsy will be sent to Foundation One to ensure Travis is getting the best treatments for his genetic makeup.
His genetic makeup?
Is this real life?
It's hard to keep spirits up…even during this holiday season. When you are trying to navigate through normalcy for your kids while facing real life.
The new chemo starts on Tuesday. And while Travis loves to see his chemo nurses…the thought of being on his third treatment regime for a cancer most people can't pronounce…
Is this real life?
So prayers are needed. Needed like never before. First and foremost for Travis' complete and total healing. For the God sized miracle we talked about in the last post. Second, for joy. Our God is the creator of joy so he can certainly give it in spades to the Roberts. And, finally, for the Roberts to settle into and be able to handle…
this real life.

Synthesizing art from science.
My work is an exploration of the visual medium to bring science to a larger audience.
Trained in sciences, I look for the literal and the absolute. Interested in arts, I look for abstract. In my experiments, I play with a contrast of the abstract and the absolute. The balance between the two shifts across my work.
Ipsawonders is a labor of love. I hope to pique curiosity, experiment with arts as a mode of science storytelling, and exploration of science as art itself.
My Story
I work on exploring illustration as a method of science communication.
After pursuing a Ph.D. at IISc, I forayed to science communication using visual arts. Until 2019, I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at InStem.
Currently, I am also a part of The Life Of Sciences collective.
Apart from exploring visuals as a vehicle for science storytelling, I also explore how drawing science can be an exercise in meaning-making.
I have not formally trained in arts, except by practice. Ira Glass reminds all young artists that it is by creating a volume of work, we can close the gap between our work and our taste. I am on the path.
More interests
I used to run and coordinate the program ScienceHigh, where scientists speak directly to the public at a lovely bookstore.
I volunteer for PhD Career Support Group, an online community of scientists across the world. I also guest illustrate and coordinate art programs for their science communication arm, Club Sciwri.
I also volunteered for Artecology, a consortium of artists, ecologists, and scientists.
What's on the table.
I am open to commissioned work, collaborations, sci-art workshops, selling artwork and science-inspired artwork.

Due to the coronavirus, the Healing Crystals pick-n-pack warehouse is temporarily closed.
We shall post an update when we are able to reopen.
I 'd like advice on crystal balls. I have been sick, and am finally feeling well enough to go back to my office job after years on disability.. I would like a crystal ball (or two) for my office space. I need a stress-free environment & I really connect to Amethyst. I'm an Empath too. Should I get a Rose Quartz, Amethyst or both crystal ball(s) & what size would you recommend? Many Blessing & Love & Light to you all. :)
Hi L,
Thank you for your inquiry. Crystal balls are a wonderful choice for infusing your environment with crystal energy in a balanced way. If you are drawn to Amethyst this should be your first choice. It is great for work environments for it's ability to transform negative energy and calm tension. Rose Quartz is another great choice to increase the loving vibrations in your environment, enhancing your relationships with those around you. The size you purchase is really a matter of personal preference and budget. When debating what size is best for you, consider the space you will be placing it in and whether or not you will be utilizing it for other purposes as well.
Crystal Blessings~

I must share the standard disclaimer that I am not a doctor and cannot give out medical advice. Crystals for healing should be used as a complement to other therapies and not as a replacement for regular medical care. The information offered here is based on a combination of my own personal experiences and that of others on using crystals for healing. My hope is that you will let your own intuition guide your path in working with crystals as well.

Jayalalithaa condoles death of techie in Brussels
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today condoled the death of Infosys employee Raghavendran Ganeshan in the terror attack in Brussels, saying he symbolises hard work and spirit of enterprise that characterise knowledge workers from the state.
"It is extremely tragic that Thiru (Mr) Raghavendran Ganeshan who was working in Brussels fell an innocent victim to a mindless act of terrorism," she said in a statement here.
His death was "an irreparable and immense" loss to the family, including his parents, young wife and infant child, she said, adding that "in this hour of grief our thoughts and prayers are with the family".
"Ganeshan will always symbolise the hard work, diligence and spirit of enterprise that characterises knowledge workers from Tamil Nadu serving the global community," Jayalalithaa said.
Ganeshan, a native of Tamil Nadu and Infosys employee from Bengaluru, had been missing since the deadly Brussels bombings on March 22. He was yesterday confirmed dead in the blast in the metro at Maelbeek station.
His body is being brought here from Amsterdam by a flight. At least 35 people were killed and over 300 were injured in the attacks at Brussels Airport and Maelbeek metro station.

Soft Palate Cancer
Determining the Stage of the Cancer
The final step before discussing treatment options is a determination of the stage of the cancer. As with all cancers of the head and neck, doctors in the U.S. use the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual (7th Ed) to determine the stage based on three factors.
|Factors that go into determining the stage of the cancer
|Characteristics of the main tumor mass
|Status of the lymph nodes in the neck (i.e., evidence of cancer spread)
|Status of cancer spread to parts of the body outside of the head and neck
At first, you will be given a clinical stage based on all of the available information.
- Clinical staging (cTNM) is determined from any information your doctor might have about how extensive the cancer is BEFORE starting any treatment. Stage is determined based on your doctor's physical exam, imaging studies, laboratory work and biopsies. Classification of clinical stage is described using the lowercase prefix c (e.g., cT, cN, cM).
If there is surgical removal of the cancer as part of your treatment, a pathologist will analyze the tumor and any lymph nodes that may have been removed. You will then be assigned a pathologic stage.
- Pathologic staging (pTNM) provides more data. Classification of pathology stage is described using the lowercase prefix p (e.g., pT, pN, pM). This may or may not differ from the clinical stage.
There are also a number of other lowercase prefixes that might be used in the staging of your cancer.
- The subscript y (yTNM) is used to assign a cancer stage after some sort of medical, systemic or radiation treatment is given (Posttherapy or Postneoadjuvant Stage). It is typically combined with either a clinical or pathologic stage. For example, ycT2N0M0 indicates that after some sort of non-surgical therapy, the new clinical stage is T2N0M0.
- The subscript r (rTNM) is used when the tumor has recurred after some period of time in which it was gone. This is called Retreatment Classification Stage. Your doctor will use all the available information to assign you a retreatment stage.
T stage: the main tumor mass
Based on a physical examination and review of any imaging, your doctor should be able to give you a T stage that falls within one of the following categories.
|The doctor is unable to assess the primary tumor.
|The doctor is unable to find the primary tumor.
|Carcinoma in situ (or severe dysplasia); this means there are cancer type cells, but they have not yet invaded deep into tissue. This is more of a pre-cancer lesion.
|The tumor is 2 centimeters or less in greatest dimension.
|The tumor is more than 2 centimeters but less than or equal to 4 centimeters in greatest dimension.
|The tumor is more than 4 centimeters in greatest size or has grown into the tongue side of the epiglottis.
|This is moderately advanced local disease. The tumor has grown into the larynx, the outside the tongue muscles, the hard palate, the lower jawbone and/or the medial pterygoid muscles.
|This is very advanced local disease. The tumor has invaded into the lateral pterygoid muscle, the pterygoid plates, up to the sides of the nasopharynx, into the skull base or completely around the carotid artery.
N stage: spread of cancer to the lymph nodes in the neck
Next, your doctor will use all the available information and assign you an N stage. This is based on the assessment as to whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck.
|The neck lymph nodes cannot be assessed.
|There is no evidence of any spread to the nodes.
|There is a single node, on the same side of the main tumor, that is 3 centimeters or less in greatest size.
|Cancer has spread to a single lymph node, on the same side as the main tumor, and it is more than 3 centimeters but less than or equal to 6 centimeters in greatest dimension.
|There are multiple lymph nodes that have cancer, on the same side as the main tumor, but none are more than 6 centimeters in size.
|There are lymph nodes in the neck on either the opposite side as the main cancer, or on both sides of the neck, but none are more than 6 centimeters.
|There is spread to one or more neck lymph nodes, and the size is greater than 6 centimeters.
M stage: spread of cancer outside the head and neck
Finally, based on an assessment on the entire body, you will be assigned an M stage.
|No evidence of distant (outside the head and neck) spread.
|There is evidence of spread outside of the head and neck (i.e., in the lungs, bone, brain, etc.).
Your cancer stage
After TNM staging, your doctor can assign a cancer stage based on the following chart.
|Stage I
|Stage II
|Stage III
|Stage IVA
|Stage IVB
|Any N
|Any T
|Stage IVC
|Any T
|Any N
Your clinical stage
Once the diagnostic tests are completed, before deciding what type of treatment you are going to undergo, you should be given a clinical stage that will look similar to the example below.
|Soft Palate
|Squamous Cell Carcinoma
* The lowercase subscript c indicates that this is a CLINICAL STAGE, the stage assigned based on all information available to your doctor before starting treatment.
After surgery, you should get a pathologic stage of your tumor. It will look almost like the clinical stage you received before starting treatment, but notice the "p" that indicates the stage group is based on an analysis of the entire tumor, with or without lymph nodes, under a microscope by a pathologist. In many cases, the pathologic stage will be the same as the clinical stage, but sometimes it will change.
After surgery, and after the pathologist has evaluated all of the tumor that was removed, you should be given a pathologic stage that looks something like this:
|Soft Palate
|Squamous Cell Carcinoma
* The lowercase subscript p indicates that this is a PATHOLOGIC STAGE, the stage assigned after tumor removal and confirmation of cancer by a pathologist.
* Note also that the M stage is usually clinical, based on all available data without actually analyzing any tissue.

Posted: 10/8/2007
Location: Bay Shore, NY
Shape: Formation
Duration:10 minutes - I got scared
|Two sightings in two weeks over Bay Shore, NY
There were two events this month I witnessed while looking at the stars and smoking on my second floor deck, which overlooks the Great South Bay: The first event, September 13th or 14th at approximately 11pm, I witnessed a formation of maybe five or six white lights that appeared to shoot up and down, in angular NE, NW, SE, SW patterns almost dive-bombing into each other. They stayed in one general area and I watched for a few minutes before going inside and locking the door!
The second event, last night (September 17th) at approximately 12am, I witnessed three red blinking lights flying very quickly across the sky. They were separated several miles apart from one another and all three had very rapid red blinking lights. It appeared that they would shoot to the East, hover for a moment, drop and move in another direction. I called my boyfriend outside and to witness this sighting and he laughed at me for being concerned! Apparently, he has witnessed several sightings while camping with his family and is comfortable with the fact that "there's always things flying around out there". If they are curious and kind I see no reason to be afraid, but I have seen too many movies to not be fear the worst first!

My office used to be based at Laystall Street in Clerkenwell. I really liked the area – nice local vibe, good pubs, tasty food, and thew bus ride was alright as well.
Recently was chatting to someone in the office, and they said that in olden times, Londoners used to dump their waste in the river Fleet. This used to to be carried along on the flow from Hampstead down to the Thames. Along the way the river passed through Holborn, and here, it deposited all the crap in what became known as "Lay Stool" Street. Hence, Laystall Street – geddit? I laughed at this, thinking it to be a windup…
Today I was reading London – The Biography by Peter Ackroyd, and on page 339 it says, "Public dumps were known as lay-stalls and there is still a Laystall Street in Clerkenwell."
It's a funny old world – I love finding out stuff like that about London.
Here's a picture of Shit Street.

Clocking in at around eight hours, Max Richter's Sleep seems impossible to digest in one sitting, without, well, sleeping through it. Despite its title, such a strategy wouldn't nearly do the album justice; Sleep is as detailed and sweeping as its novella-length tracklist suggests. One for the to-do list, I guess.
Still, you should go ahead and check out these Sleep remixes now. It's more than likely that the names Clark and Mogwai are why you clicked this link in the first place, as they are known to be rather outstanding in their fields. Anyway, these remixes are measured in minutes, not hours, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. The Sleep remixes LP is due February 19, with vinyl coming in March. Check out the tracklist below.

Grantee Jonathan Wanagat Explores Aging and Weight Gain
Jonathan Wanagat, MD, PhD, was featured in a February NPR story exploring why humans gain weight as they age. It is commonly understood that we grow heavier as we grow older, but scientists are still deepening their understanding of how and why this occurs. One factor, highlighted in the story, is the weakening and shrinking of muscles. Muscles play a role in managing weight because they burn calories. However, when there is less muscle, more calories become converted to fat, leading to weight gain. Dr. Wanagat investigates the reasons muscles shrink as we age, and the effects of exercise on…

Dr. Luigi Fontana Explores Caloric Restriction
TIME magazine published "Eat Less, Live Longer?" on February 11, tracking a study on the effects of caloric reduction led by BIG Awardee Luigi Fontana, MD, PhD. Early research on organisms ranging from yeast to monkeys showed that a 25-30% decrease in calories could increase lifespan by 50% and prevent diseases. When there is less food, the body reassigns energy from other functions towards survival. Dr. Fontana's two-year study at Tufts University, the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE), tracks the health of volunteers who reduce their caloric intake by 25% each day. Researchers…

Dr. Matt Kaeberlein and Roundworm Healthspan
A Time magazine report from February featured Matt R. Kaeberlein, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Washington and recipient of a 2007 Glenn/AFAR Breakthroughs in Gerontology (BIG) Award. Dr. Kaeberlein recently discovered of a group of genes that affects the longevity of roundworms: his lab found that through activation of the hypoxic response, a biological defense against low-oxygen environments, ringworms' lives were significantly extended. They engineered the worms to have the response "turned on" at all times, even when there was plenty of oxygen, and the result was not only a…

What's with all this One Design Sailing in SF Bay and other places?
Yeah, it's happening everywhere but specifically in San Francisco Bay we have the Melges 20 North Americans this year, the Worlds Next. Farr 40 Worlds in October and those are just highlights! We've long had a big fleet of the venerable Moore 24's, the ever present fleets of Express 27's, Knarrs, Folkboats and of course the huge fleet of J105's.
This year the J111 class has burst onto the Bay with a one-design schedule in the new Fleet 5 racing season where it looks like 7-8 boats will be on the line. 3 new boats in various stages of development and the hot red "Mental (Now called Big Blast) just landing from her long ride out from Chicago. Some video action from Frisco right here.
Here's the J111 schedule for 2014.
March 15-16 Spring One Design StFYC
April 5-6 JFest StFYC
April 26-27 Vallejo Race VYC
June 7-8 June Invitational StFYC
Aug 2-3 2nd Half Opener EYC
Aug 22-24 Aldo Alessio StFYC
Sept 11-14 RolexBBS StFYC
Oct 25 Great Pumpkin RYC
J70's are officially one-design in SF Bay too. 11 boats are here with more selling all the time. The local dealer, Sail California is sold out through April but has boats yet unspoken for coming in May.
There's a great series of races for 2014 in J70 Fleet 19.
March 8-9 Big Daddy RYC
April 5-6 JFest StFYC
May 17-18 Elite Keel SFYC (Worlds Qualifier)
May 31 Delta Ditch SSC
June 27-29 LBRW ABYC (Worlds Qualifier)
July 19-20 High Sierra FYC
Aug 16-17 Summer Keel SFYC
Aug 30 Jazz Cup SBYC
Sept 11-14 Rolex BBS StFYC
Oct 25-26 Great Pumpkin RYC
The J70 is exploding worldwide with 85 (nope, this is NOT a typo) boats racing Charleston Race Week. This is nothing short of amazing given that two years ago there were none in existence. J70's are reserved through hull #629 as of today! I can only imagine what will happen when McConaghy gets up to speed with their production!
I'm not going to question why, I'm just stoked to see high quality one-design racing expanding on San Francisco Bay. Send your own one-design success stories to the Ed. He loves this shit!

City of London based regulatory technology company Heliocor announces that it has raised $2.5m in scale up funding from High Net Worth investors using a brand new and potentially disruptive investment process. This is the first time this funding process has been used in the UK.
The funding was achieved through the first of a series of preference shares offers in terms of which:
investors participate in 20% of Heliocor's future profits after tax; and
their investment is represented by a digital token, using blockchain technology, rather than just a paper certificate, potentially providing significant liquidity
should that digital token be listed.
The funds raised are to be used to enhance the core products built by Heliocor's Barcelona Technology Development Centre; launch and build the Dokstor app as a consumer brand; and accelerate international sales of RoboliticsTM, the high-speed data analytics engine.
The offer was made in part through Globacap's fundraising platform (www.globacap.com) which uses a combination of public and private blockchains to create digital securities and in part by private placement. Globacap is an FCA regulated arranger and custodian, having progressed through the FCA's regulatory sandbox programme.
Heliocor has now begun promotion of the next round of its preference share offer, marketing exclusively to sophisticated/qualifying investors, to raise up to an additional $15m. In addition to bolstering its current offices in London, Barcelona and New York, that funding is intended to establish new sales offices in Singapore, Hong Kong and India in 2019.
Owen Hall, CEO of Heliocor, commented, "We have decided to address a big and important global problem: tackling digital identity fraud and restoring trust in the system. It's a big challenge, but one that Heliocor has the experience, the products and team to solve. We thank our investors for expressing their confidence in our vision and embracing blockchain technology as the conduit for funding to support our ambitious growth plans."

If your personal situation changes, such as through marriage, cohabitation, divorce, or death, it is important to adjust your rental agreement. Below you will find a number of forms which you can use to inform Vesteda of the change in your situation.
Request to be primary tenant
If the primary tenant and co-tenant cease cohabiting, it is possible that the primary tenant chooses to move out (unilateral termination) and the co-tenant wishes to stay in the residence. In this case, the co-tenant can submit a request to be made primary tenant.

Request to be co-tenant
If you enter into cohabitation with someone, that person can submit a request to be co-tenant.

Request to be co-tenant because of marriage or registered partnership
In the case of marriage or registered partnership, the partner is automatically considered to be the co-tenant. The rental agreement does not need to be altered in this case. You do need to provide Vesteda with the personal information of your spouse or partner.

Death of partner
It is important that you inform Vesteda if your partner has died. If the primary tenant has died, the law states that the co-tenant automatically becomes the contractual primary tenant. If the co-tenant has died, the law states that his/her name must be removed from the contract.

Decentralized delivery of public services has been promoted as a means to enhance citizen voice and make service provision more responsive to users. Ethiopia has undertaken two rounds of decentralization, making first the regional states and then the district governments responsible for providing key public services. This paper explores whether decentralization has improved the quality of service delivery and citizen satisfaction with the services provided, focusing on agricultural extension. Specifically, we examine whether services are responsive to the needs and expressed demands of poor farmers, including women farmers. We focus on the institutional arrangements through which agricultural extension services are provided and how these contribute to efficiency, effectiveness, and equity in service delivery.

News: Educating Women Saves Children, Study Finds
LONDON (AP) — Giving young women an education resulted in saving the lives of more than four million children worldwide in 2009, according to a new study published Friday. American researchers analyzed 915 censuses and surveys from 175 countries tracking education, economic growth, H.I.V. infection rates and child deaths from 1970 to 2009. By using statistical models, the researchers found that for every extra year of education women had, the death rate for children under 5 dropped by almost 10 percent. They estimated that 4.2 million fewer children died in 2009 than in 1970 because women of child-bearing age in developing countries were more educated. In 1970, women in developing countries ages 18 to 44 had attended about two years of school. In 2009, it was about seven years. The study was paid for by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and was published Friday in the London-based medical publication Lancet. Continue reading

Resource: New IFPRI Dataset on Chronic Poverty and Long Term Impact Study in Bangladesh
The Chronic Poverty and Long Term Impact Study in Bangladesh project, which focuses on 102 villages characteristic of rural Bangladesh, aims to further our understanding of the economic, social and political processes that shape chronic poverty in Bangladesh together with the impact of selected anti-poverty interventions on poverty dynamics. After initial community level fieldwork approximately 1,907 core households first surveyed in 1994, 1996, or 2000 were interviewed in late 2006 to ascertain how their living standards, endowment and other characteristics have changed over time and what role selected interventions have had on their welfare trajectories. 365 households who had split from their original households were also interviewed Detailed life-histories were then collected from a stratified sub-sample of approximately 293 adult men and women living in 161 households in order to better understand which events, institutions and processes have trapped certain households in chronic poverty while allowing others to escape from it. By analysing the results of the community level focus groups, panel survey and life-histories interviews together, a much fuller and more nuanced understanding of chronic poverty and the impact of the selected interventions is produced.

News: Despite Wide-Ranging Benefits, Girls' Education and Empowerment Overlooked in Developing Countries
by Kata Fustos (PRB)
(April 2010) Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive impact of girls' education on child and maternal mortality, health, fertility rates, poverty, and economic growth. Yet less than 2 cents of every dollar spent on international development is directed specifically toward adolescent girls, and they remain at the margins of international development programs.1 However, a March 2010 United Nations joint statement indicates that the international community is beginning to recognize that girls are a powerful catalyst for change.2
Investing in Adolescent Girls Brings Widespread Benefits
A key to reducing the cycle of poverty lies in an educated, healthy, and productive citizenry that is able to provide for the next generation. Adolescent girls hold a considerable yet untapped potential for accelerated national growth; their educational attainment, level of involvement in the labor force, and capability as caretakers of the next generation have a great impact on entire communities. There are about 600 million adolescent girls in developing countries and the 10-to-24-year-old age group is the fastest-growing segment of the population. This demographic trend can boost the economic prospects of developing countries by providing opportunities to these young people.
On average, girls with higher levels of education are more likely to participate in the labor force, engage in paid employment, earn more for their families over their lifetimes, and have healthier children who stay in school longer.3 Girls receive a higher economic return on investment in education than boys, and there are especially high wage gains from secondary education for girls. Female secondary education has an 18 percent return in the form of eventual wages, compared with 14 percent for males. In addition, girls with secondary schooling are up to six times less likely to be married as children than those with little or no schooling.4 The educational attainment of adults in the household also positively affects children. In many countries, maternal education levels have a greater influence over school enrollment of children than the education level of fathers. Continue reading

The RBI efforts to deal with the state - run banks' huge non - performing assets (NPAs) or distressed loans are steps in the right direction, International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Christine Lagarde said on Sunday.
"The (move of) Reserve Bank of India governor (Dr Raghuram Rajan) addressing bank balance sheets is absolutely right, " she said at the Advancing Asia conference here, co - hosted by the union government and the IMF.
Lagarde said the Indian government was also moving to get a bankruptcy and insolvency law enacted to address the bad loans problem.
Addressing the conference earlier on Sunday, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the government hopes to enact the bankruptcy and solvency as well as the Goods and Services Tax bills in the second half of the budget session of parliament beginning April 20.
The NPAs of public sector banks (PSBs) have increased by close to Rs. 1 lakh crore in the first nine months of the current fiscal, parliament was told earlier this week.
"The gross non - performing assets of the PSBs increased from 5. 43 percent as of March 2015 to 7. 30 percent as of December 2015, " Jaitley told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.
In money terms, gross NPAs of state - run banks increased from Rs. 2, 67, 065 crore in March 2015 to Rs. 3, 61, 731 crore in December 2015, he said, which was an increase of Rs. 94, 666 crore over nine months of the current fiscal.
Meanwhile, Lagarde told reporters here on Sunday that the central American nation of Cuba has not yet made a request for IMF membership, and that such a request will be considered in accordance with the norms of the multilateral lending agency.
Cuba was one of the founding members of the IMF until it left the organisation in 1964, following crisis with the US.
