Firewalls & Keeping Your Business Files Safe
Types of Firewalls
Firewalls can either be physical or logical. A logical firewall is usually found built into an operating system and is typically controlled by a server within a business environment. The configuration of a logical firewall requires a certain level of technical expertise to regularly maintain & tweak settings to help the firewall work correctly.
A physical firewall is a network device that is usually used as the first point of entry for traffic entering a network. It applies intense scrutiny to the traffic, checking for unwanted intrusions and viruses before the traffic is allowed to end-point device, such as a Windows server, employee computer, or any mobile device. Many physical firewalls offer subscription-based services that may be necessary for compliance reasons and overall security of the network. Subscription based firewalls are updated multiple times a day with threat lists from subscribed security experts, sources, and companies.
Choosing the Best Firewall for your Business
TechStarters will help you choose the right firewall for your business, here are the main considerations we take into account when choosing an appropriate firewall for a business environment:
- Scale
- Security
- Cost of Ownership
- Manageability & Reporting
Scale defines the size and shape of your environment. A few of the scale questions we ask to help determine the best Firewall solution for your business: How many employees access the network? Does the organization have multiple sites? How many remote users? Scale is just one item that ultimately determines the firewall level of product you will require.
Security defines the strength of protection provided by the firewall device. What is the information that your company deals with internally and externally. Do you use online financial services or handle medical information? Must your company stay PCI or HIPAA compliant? At minimum, most devices provide a straight forward form of protection with the ability to configure higher levels of firewall protection, usually under an optional form of paid subscriptions.
Cost of Ownership
Cost of ownership defines the bottom-line of cost to you, from start to finish, including (but not limited to) purchase or lease of hardware, configuration and installation, service subscription, and maintenance.
Manageability & Reporting
Ease of management can impact your cost of service over time. Some devices are very simple and easy to make administrative changes, while the majority of other firewalls are far more complex and require a high-level IT professional to have specialized training in order to manage the firewall properly.
To one degree or another, reporting is a feature necessary feature built into most commercial firewall devices. Some reporting platforms are very simplistic in the information gathered, while the more sophisticated firewalls provide much more granular reporting features.
Firewall Brands
TechStarters supports a variety of firewall brands, below are only a few of the more popular firewall brands we support.
Cisco is the global industry leader of network equipment. Cisco firewalls are most commonly used in enterprise-scale datacenters, but do also provide firewall equipment scaled to the smaller and mid-sized business markets. TechStarters has a high-level expertise with Cisco products. With the expansive scope of Cisco firewalls available, trying to understand what Cisco firewall is most appropriate for your business can be a challenge. With a declared priority on providing security, Cisco is a leader in providing secure network communication. Cisco also provides VoIP phone systems that integrate directly with Cisco branded switches and routers. The most common Cisco equipment found, even in the smallest & simplest business environment would be an ASA firewall.
Cisco ASA Firewalls
The Cisco ASA Firewall is the world's most widely deployed enterprise-level firewall. Businesses of all shapes and sizes require protection from a wide array of threats. In years prior, firewall provided functionality included what is known as Unified Threat Management or UTM, but as the threats have become much more sophisticated, so too has the need for the firewall device. Cisco's next generation firewalls have implemented Advanced Malware Protection and next-generation IPS to the Cisco ASA. This allows for small and medium businesses to be effectively protected from advanced forms of attack. Inexpensive cost of ownership makes this an excellent level of security attainable for just about any size business.
DELL SonicWALL
SonicWALL is a leading manufacturer of network equipment. At one time, SonicWALL was an independent manufacturer that had become so successful that they were acquired by Dell in 2012. Dell SonicWALL solutions provide intelligent network security, email security and secure mobile access which enable customers and partners to dynamically secure, control, and scale their local and global networks. SonicWALL firewall products are cost-effective, which makes them very popular with small businesses, but have a robust higher-end market of firewall products that appeal to the enterprise sized organization. Dell's SonicWALL are deployed are most popular with educational campuses, retail stores, local governments, and healthcare environments.
SonicWALL TZ Series
Dell's SonicWALL TZ Series firewalls are reasonably priced to provide an excellent firewall solution for small to medium-sized businesses. The TZ series provides protection from malware and viruses embedded within website traffic and emails. It has the ability to connect to a remote network via a point-to-point VPN, extending the work network for remote employees. It also allows for a user to connect to the network remotely via a VPN client. With the addition of SonicPoint wireless access points (WAP), any building can be covered with a secure wireless signal. When configured correctly, Dell's SonicPoints allow ultimate scalability for companies of all sizes.

A photographer from Singapore has created a navigable 360° video of part of a tour he made of North Korea. Aram Pan has set himself a project, which he calls DPRK, to make a documentary that 'captures the essence of North Korea through the use of 360° panoramas, photos and videos.' Through collaboration with the authorities in both North and South Korea, Aram has been able to gain extensive access to the usually closed country and has been able to tour popular sites as well as meet and photograph local people. He points out that his project is non-political and that he aims to steer clear of controversial subject matter or discussion, as he intends to use his photography to encourage a better understanding of the country so that 'fear can be removed and friendships can be made.'
The 20 minute video is filmed entirely as a 360 degree panorama, and viewers can scroll around the footage to choose where they want to look in the scene. Aram shot with a modified GoPro camera fitted with a 280 degree lens that was supplied by Japanese fisheye lens company Entaniya, while the footage was stitched together using Video Stitch software.
Aram says, 'It took about 2 days to render all the files on my 4 year old PC, converting the fisheye videos into equirectangular videos, then go through the footage for the scenes I wanted. The video was edited in Premiere Pro.' The video covers parts of the North Eastern part of the country on a tour with a company called Young Pioneer Tours. It shows popular tourist sites as well as other less well known locations – including the first foreign footage inside a local bus.
For his stills he uses a Nikon D810 with the 24-70mm f/2.8 wide angle zoom, but he says he is looking for something a little more discrete. 'I'm seriously considering a mirrorless option. The locals can be very wary of foreigners snapping away at them, so mirrorless cameras look very unobtrusive compared to a D810. I'm still not sure which option to go with yet but I suspect I'll divorce my D810 if the right mirrorless comes my way. I stick out like a sore thumb in NK with the huge D810 around my neck. I get spotted a mile away.'
|The Senior Lieutenant at Panmunjom JSA was so intrigued by samples of my 360 panoramas that he dropped everything he was doing to jump up my bus and ride with me all the way out. Photo and caption by Aram Pan
Aram specialises in shooting 360° panoramas, and wanted to shoot one at the Panmunjom Joint Security Area. He broke the ice with the border guards by showing them examples of his panoramas on his iPhone. 'Immediately everyone left their posts and crowded around to play with my iPhone. Something like that doesn't happen every day and I was glad to play even a small part in easing tensions. After that, everyone returned to their posts and I got this shot.'
Aram has been invited to hold an exhibition of his work at a Unification Event in Seoul in September, which he says is about building bridges between the North and South of the peninsular and promoting understanding. 'My project isn't about politics and it is simply a window into an unknown world. Both the North and the South have shown immense support for my project and to me, having both their blessings is really what matters. I'm not concerned about what others may think because ultimately the Korean peninsula stands to gain the most through peace'.
You can see more of Aram's photos on his website and his Facebook page.
Aram's statement about his DPRK project
The DPRK 360 project is an independent project that aims to showcase the many aspects of DPRK (a.k.a. North Korea) through photography. All attempts will be made so as not address any past, present or future political issues that may be sensitive. The purpose of this project is to encourage understanding of the country and uncover the mysteries that lay hidden. Through better understanding, fear can be removed and friendships can be made. Most of the images will not undergo any instagram, lomo or artistic filters to make them moody or emotional. There will also be interactive 360 degree panoramic images of places across the DPRK.
This project is an initiative by me (Aram Pan), a Singapore based virtual tour photographer. This project is entirely funded by myself and some sponsors and I'm not paid a single cent to generate any propaganda. I plan to make regular trips to DPRK to photograph more of the country so any sponsorships or grants will be deeply appreciated. I do not wish that my photos or panoramas be used in politically heated articles as it may jeopardize my project. I have made the first baby steps in gaining their friendship and trust so I will not do anything that will disrupt this friendship.
The spirit of this project can be found in a DPRK folk song 'White Dove Fly High'. The white dove is a universal symbol of peace and has been chosen to be the symbol of this project.
In case anyone wonders where my political loyalties are, I love my country of Singapore as it is my dear home and I fully support my current government and its leaders.
Aram Pan has been a photographer since 2003. He went into full time commercial panorama production in 2007 and has produced over 3000 panoramas for real estates, hospitals, tourism, industrial, aerospace and many other industries.

KOKOMO, Ind. — "It's On Us."
This nationwide initiative designed to help end campus sexual assault and create awareness at universities across the country is also the program that Indiana University Kokomo will utilize during Sexual Assault Awareness Week beginning Monday, September 21.
"This week is about raising awareness about sexual assault and sexual violence," said Sarah Sarber, dean of students. "We all play a role. No matter how small or large that role is, we can all make a difference."
There will be red flags across campus all week, reminding people to stand up and speak out when they see a warning sign, or "red flag."
On Monday and Thursday, students can sign an "It's on Us" campaign pledge, take a quiz about sexual assault and sexual violence, and receive information about how to be an active bystander, and who to contact for help if needed. Resource tables will be available in the Kelley Student Center.
At 2 p.m. Monday, Jeffery Batis, assistant professor of psychology and Rosalyn Davis, clinical assistant professor of psychology, will discuss the psychological, biological, and legal aspects of sexual assault and the current dating scene in The Kelley Student Center Room 130 AC at 2 p.m.
"Beat the Blame Game," designed to educate students on the false approach of blaming the victims, will take place at noon Tuesday in the Kelley Student Center Room 130 AC.
The final program, "Real Talk," at 10 a.m. Wednesday, provides a place for students those sometimes awkward, but necessary questions, in a safe environment. Men will meet in the Cole Fitness Center Room 007, while women will meet in the Art Gallery.
"'Real Talk' is about having a frank discussion about sexual violence, sexual assault, and the issues surrounding sex in the time that we are in," said Sarber. "We want students to have a chance to ask these questions in a safe place.
"It is important that we get this information out so students are aware of the resources available to them and how they can get the help they need," she said. "By doing this, we can all help take care of one another."
For more information about the activities that take place during the Sexual Assault Awareness Week, visit iuk.edu.

On Thursday, May 18th, 2017 the Marquis Theater became a battleground for the up and coming Denver-based post-hardcore quintet, One Way to Live (OWL). With a myriad of influences in Nu-Metal, Metalcore, and Classic Hardcore, OWL plan to pave the way for Denver's ever-growing Metal scene, by creating their own unique clash of sounds. Respecting the past, focused on improving the future.
As a thunderous boom bellows throughout the Marquis the young quintet invade the stage, immediately engaging the crowd, calling them to the floor as they begin their set with a distorted introduction. OWL wastes no time as they promptly follow with their first number "A Man / A Warrior," and with unyielding energy herald in the night's festivities. The shattered screams of Ryan Schraeder coupled with the clean vocals of Ryan Graham create a bipolar ballad further emphasizing the band's varying stylistic combinations. As their first track starts to fade, OWL take the time to thank the fans, forthcoming bands, and venue showing the respect they have for the craft and appreciation to be on stage. Quickly returning to their previous intensity, OWL's second song "Locket" comes crashing in with Kevin Marquez's turbulent drumming over bestial bass riffs from the band's youngest member Dylan Graham. Constant movement from the band members and aerial stunts from Schraeder grab the attention of the audience as more people began to take the floor. The band then ends "Locket" with another shout out to the crowd calling them all to the front in preparation for the second half of their show.
OWL centers their set with the aptly named song "Restless," as they come blazing in with furious speed and pure aggression. Continually engaging the audience, calling on them to jump, and all the while keeping their music crisp, shows fans that the band is dedicated to keeping them entertained. As the antics of "Restless" end, OWL shows no hesitation as they carry the crowds hype into their next number, and with raised fists begin "The Disembodied Fortune." Those fists soon morph into middle fingers as Schraeder impishly commands the onlookers to "GET THE FUCK UP," as the dubious duet of Jacob Pool and Ryan Graham drown the room in their coordinated distortion. Finally, with middle fingers still held high, OWL unleashes their newest single "Hourglass", which is a no-holds-barred headbanger. Pool unleashes a series of blazing guitar riffs that spark the crowd into jumping again, only this time with much more force. As the floorboards begin to bend, OWL ride the high of "Hourglass" to the very end, pushing the venue and themselves to the limits.
One Way to Live really opened the crowd for the night to come. Given the amount of energy they displayed and seeing how the audience grew over the course of show, it is clear to see that OWL has a bright future in the scene. Those who did not know of them before Thursday night surely do now. WIth how young the band is, it will be curious to see how far they progress in the future; but as of now they remain a beacon of light for Mile-High metalcore culture.

|VIDEO: Robbinsville rolls by Hanover in 9/10 state softball final
Robbinsville is quickly becoming the softball capital of New Jersey.
The small town in Mercer County won another softball championship when it defeated Hanover in the state final for 9- and 10-year olds. Robbinsville dominated the game, winning 13-0 in four innings Sunday. The win brought the 10′s their age group's New Jersey Little League state championship. They thus add yet another banner to the fabric-filled wall at Tantum Park's fieldhouse.
Extra base hits by both Brynn Hopkins and Becca Siracusa accounted for several runs. Hopkins also pitched to near perfection, as Hanover never got a runner past second base.
In three games at the state tournament, Robbinsville never allowed a run and won each time by double digits.
Hanover battled through the loser's bracket to reach the state final. After falling to Waterford in its first game of the tournament, the Morris County team battled back, first defeating Wallington 5-1, then gaining revenge on Waterford with a 7-5 triumph.
Robbinsville's state champion Little League softball team (11-12 year olds) was on hand to watch the final game. That squad recently won the East Regional title, advancing to the Little League World Series for the fourth time in seven years, the first time any town has accomplished that feat.
Check out video highlights of the state final game, courtesy of our friends at Mid Jersey Sports.

Gluten and grains may be making you tired. Try this recipe to battle the exhaustion, lose weight, and indulge in tasty bread. This focaccia bread will have you forgetting that it's gluten- and grain-free. Use Dr. Davis' all-purpose baking mix for this delicious bread.
- 5 oz mozarella cheese, grated
- 12 oz all-purpose baking mix
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp sea salt, divided
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 3 oz pitted black olives or Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1 1/2 oz sun-dried tomatoes, finely sliced
- 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 eggs, separated
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet.
2. In a food chopper or food processor, pulse the cheese until reduced to small granules, about the size of couscous.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the processed cheese, baking mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, oregano, olives, and tomatoes. Mix well. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and the vinegar and mix quickly. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl and using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff. Blend in the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil at low speed. Pour into the reserved dough mixture and mix together with a spoon.
5. Place the dough onto the baking sheet and, using your hands, shape into an 11-by-12-inch rectangle. Alternately, cover the dough with parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll the dough 1/2-inch thick.
6. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and, using the blunt handle of a wooden spoon or other small rounded instrument, make small depressions in the surface every inch or so.
7. Brush the surface with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
8. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the bread into six 4-by-6-inch slices.

We spent the first week in orientation and trying some different things out. That weekend we went into Beijing for church on Sunday and had some yummy Western food. The second week we started with an adventure by public transport into the city to see some cool sights. The rest of the week we (summer staff) settled into our roles and learned from our different supervisers about what we would be doing. My role is to assist the volunteer and education manager for the foster home. So I spend a mixture of time in the foster home and in the office, where I have my own desk and computer! My role is most busy at the start of the volunteer times so in the morning and afternoon making sure volunteers know where they should be and helping them get settled into the areas they are assigned. Volunteers can be in either the baby room, toddler play room, pre school or backyard school for older children (6+).
Good Times:
* Getting to know the other summer staff and make good friends with them. We all get on so well which is such a blessing. This experience would not be half as good without getting on with them as we all spend so much time together.
* Being with the Chinese staff in the foster home and learning from them is so great. At this organisation they really have invested in the Chinese staff and have them running pretty much the whole thing (the way it should be!!) so I am really loving getting to know them better and helping however I can.
* Getting to know the kids better and knowing which kids like certain things. Especially the kids who do not like strangers, its so awesome when they run up to me!
*Learning more about myself, hearing from God about the areas in my life where I need to work on changing. The culture here at the organisation I'm working at is so focused on prayer for the kids and seeing miracles happen. There is also a dream culture where we are encouraged to write down our dreams for the future. This has been an awesome exercise to really sit down and think through what I want in the future and pray about that.
*The variety of things we get to do! From helping take the kids on outings, to holding babies, to helping in preschool, to teaching the nannies or teachers some English, to playing with the kids in the backyard, to helping work on the kids developmental goal sheets to taking photos. And that's just the foster home stuff! We've been into Beijing LOTS, seen the Great Wall, tienenman square, forbidden city, art district, houhai lake, temple of heaven, old and new summer places, pearl market and wangfujing street..... I love beeing near Beijing!!
Tough times:
* Sometimes it gets stressful dealing with the big groups and coordinating where everyone goes! Not all groups are that easy to work with which makes the job tough!
*Work days are long, I normally work from 8-5:30 and every second Saturday. And on our off days we normally go into Beijing either for church or for sightseeing (by choice!) so it is hard to find time to unwind!
*The heat!! This Irish guy isn't used to high 30's Celcius!
Thank you so much for all of your support!!! This is an incredible experience and opportunity!! I am so blessed! This coming week will be full of lots of goodbyes as the session 1 summer staff leave and the new summer staff arrive. Only 5 of us are staying and 6 leaving. :(

Coachella 2013 started off frighteningly with ungodly entry lines that turned to a crowd rush, which consequently resulted in a bro hitting me in the face. HOWEVER, I will say that the staff managed the whole scenario incredibly well and everyone was able to enter the venue unharmed thankfully, though it did spawn the re-occuring saying "THIS IS HOW BAD THINGS HAPPEN".
The new YUMA stage is amazing. Teeny Tiny little air conditioned tent, capacity maybe topping out at 1500, complete with slick wood dance floors, 4 disco balls, an array of spinning lights and perhaps coolest of all, an analog screen made up of actual lightbulbs projecting basic images ala the 70's.
Trent Reznor and Rob Sheridans are absolute masters when it comes to the live presentation of their bands, this round it was incredible layered fiber-optics curtains surrounding the group resonating all kinds of spacial imagery, but goddamn if How To Destroy Angels wouldn't be 50 times better if his wife wasn't anywhere near it.
The new Sahara Tent is INSANELY and unreasonably large. Off to day 2 check back tomorrow. All band photos by my good friend @suprefan, follow him on Twitter for more.

You know it. You do it. It's safe, predictable, even comforting, like that pair of broken-in jeans that give in all the right places (thank goodness). A routine is one of the most powerfully subconscious habits that dominate our lives. Which is why it's so thrilling to veer off the path and break the pattern with a vacation. But even if you've banked weeks of paid leave at a job, it is hard to get away more than once or twice a year.
Which is why we suggest with our story on Seattle's hidden gems that you go big by staying small. It can be as simple as taking a new route home to trying some buzzed-about chicken gizzards (yes), or to visiting a gallery vetted by arts editor Brangien Davis.
Our mission—guided by a rule that all subjects had to be unknown to at least three of our editors—was to dig deeper and reveal some of our best-kept secrets and to share recent discoveries. My top spills: the mind-boggling selection of pens and notebooks in the back of the Kinokuniya Bookstore, where I've shopped for years. Also, Slate, a fancy-ish (drinks are served out of wine glasses—see left) but completely unfussy coffee shop that my pal Julie Hartley from Top Pot Doughnuts tipped me off to.
But then there are the things we didn't discover until they were staring us in the face. Take our cover subject. When we moved into our new sixth-floor office space on Fourth Avenue downtown last October, little did we know the gem that would fill our view: Frolik, the rooftop deck of the Red Lion Hotel, across the street. (A name, by the way, that is somewhat painful for editors to type—and that's ignoring the exclamation point that serves as an "i.") We were entering the dark winter months, so for a while, the deck was usually empty, although the staff would dutifully light the gas flames that shoot up from crushed-glass fire pits and turn on golden strings of bulbs around 3 p.m. every day. As the weather warmed, the crowds thickened, and it became pure entertainment for us to people-watch the goings-on amidst the oversize Alice in Wonderland shades on the heat lamps, purple Lucite chairs and other decor bordering on five minutes ago (though I love the orange pingpong tables). It wasn't until a farewell party for a coworker that we decided to check it out, and we were wowed. While there isn't a sweeping view of the Sound from here (although you can get peeks), Frolik offers an urban rooftop experience with a close-up perspective of downtown architecture, which has made it one of our new favorite spots. Though the downtown working crowd seems to be in on the secret, most passersby have no idea it's there when they pass by on the street.
Discoveries like this are thrilling for us to share. This city is constantly revealing new things about itself, and we hope you continue to enjoy them all as their stories develop.

Whose Granny is This? She Went to Magic Photo To Slay
So. Old people. You know I love them, right? It's mostly for their lack of damb giving about anything. They do what they want and that's that. Well, below is an example of one geriatric I can't get behind ALL the way.
Miss. Mademoiselle. Ma'am. What is this?
Magic photo just turned tragic. Someone's granny put on her special occasion strawberry blonde/dirt brown hairhat, her new spag halter dress and said I'ma booty toot for JESUS and ain't nobody gon check me. And she was right. No one checked her. And this picture is a result of it.
She made this appointment to get her photos taken because she said she was gon slay all the wimminz, especially with her special poses and y'all can't do nothing about it. You know she was in her head thinking:
She's right. We can't tell her nothing. We shouldn't e'em try. (-__-)
But can we talk bout this gray film that's over the picture? Surely whoever's cousin produced this image didn't think they were gonna impress us with it. SURELY. She looks like she's standing in a puff of smoke. Must be from the HEAT she's emanating in this picture. OWWWW!
Chile, I'm unable to deal with whoever's granny this is. She's 2Legit2Quit.
GET EM THEN, GRANNY OLA MAE (that's what I imagine her name is).
Whose granny is this though? Which one of you will stand up and claim her? Don't be shy!
57 Comments
Luvvie…that is not Ola Mae…that's Annie Mae…and why does her bracelet match her hair (on her right hand)? And why is she in the police is going to search you for drugs position? And why does it look like it's not the FIRST time she's taken the assumed position? And she got on stiletto heels…iCan't.
It's too early in the morning for this effery lol
Lawd, I though she had a chinchilla on her head…and that gray smoke (I guess) looks like grandma put too much powder on and she just a lil ashy…but she is trying to slay us youngheads out here!!!!
I do believe that is a fur hat on her head. 'Cause that is the only way I can make what I see on her head right. I do not wanna believe a taupe nappy wrap wig exists. Not even if I squint. =_=
Both of my G-mamas have gone to glory long ago, but if they were here, I don't think that level of ratchedness would be nestled among my kinfolk. At least I hope not.
She looks like Miss Jane Pittman about to twerk for equality while laying her burdens down.
LMAOOOO…Jane Pittman abt to twerk for equality?!?!?! NAWL!!
She is giving sooo much heat with that facial expression…Miss Hunty…y'all. ain't. ready! ! This photo….there is nothing with which I can do!! Lookin like an old lady boogawolf!!
Too early for this right here!! Somebody come get they grandma!
@RozB you have slayed me with that miss Jane Pittman comment!
Bag of Dust Mites Hair Hat=Isnt that good news
Dots discount Dress complete with Sunbeaten elbows=isnt that good news
Grandma Jumped the line and asked for her seniors discount=Isn't that good news!
Grandma went down nay by huh self and did dat= Isnt that good news!!
Grandma said this is slaughterhouse bitch!!
and that's great news!
Im done!!
I'm sitting her at work, damn near about to have a heart attack bcuz I'm trying to hold in this howl for somebody's MeMaw…I cannot look at such material at work!!!! LMMFAOOO
A 100 mothafuckas sho' can't tell her nothing. Pop it grandma, don't let dem youngins outshine you.
I will send this pic as a crystal ball/palm read to my big butt girlfriends who refuse to slow down.
LOL!!! This pic was taken at this hood bar here in Milwaukee called "Zarkos" search them on FB it's full of ratchet foolishness!
I'm from the MDub…I know Zarkos…There is a reason why I've never frequented that place…I've always been asked and this heffa here is the reason why I should continue to say no and be confident and satisfied with my decision…looking like she snorting lines with CooCooCal lookin tail…
It looks like she backin' it up, right into herself. Gran just knew she was gettin' it!
I saw this photo last week & was immediately traumatized. She looks like Harriet Tubman, minus the dignity.
#iquit ALL Y'ALL! Have me sittin on the bus crackin up in the corner looking like Sophia from The Color Purple at the dinner table just rockin back and forth! But you best believe I'll be back this afternoon to catch more comment ratcheness! Luvvie, you've truly outdone yourself!
For why has she got to be OLA MAE?! My granny is Ola Mae and she would never (I pray) ascend to this level of hood ratchetry. She will on occasion wear her purple sweat pants and red stilettos to the grocery store… but I'm here to discuss that RAHT NAH!
We shall rename this hood geriatric Bernice.
That is all.
*not here
On this day no lace fronts were given.
I don't blame madea for this one… The photographer should have taken a stand! Like, "no, this can Not happen!"
What would all her fellow civil rights activists say if this debauchery!?
*exits stage right*
No to tha ma'am…NOT Berneice! MY granny's a Berneice and when I showed her this hoodbugganess, she said, "somebody tryin' to relive their Cotton Club days." I. HOWLED. She need Sandman Sam from The Apollo Theatre to hook her azz off the damn photo set! Iwon't.com!
luvvie! where do you find this shit!!??!!
ummm…do my eyes deceive me…or is she wearing a Rocafella dress??? Reppin the R-O-C at the tender age of 73 ma'am?? I cannot.
y'all need to leave Aunt Esther alone – it won't be long before she goes to join her sister, Elizabeth, and i won't have you hooligans besmirching her good name – Aunt Esther knows the big one could come at any minute, which is why she put on her finest Chanel Double C Logo frock (AE's eyesight is going) to take a portrait for her funegro – and y'alls is hellbent on ruint it for her – she cain't help it if her authoritis prevents her from hitting the lotion hotspots!! O_o
*Background music*
Make it rain TRICK, make it make it rain rain!
*Flash back in someone's sexpot Nana's head*
Heaux! Assume the funky a$$ position!!!
Her wig/rat tail/weave cap looks like a winter wool hat, strawberry blonde I assume? LOL
Are you sure this is someone's Granny? Did you ever consider this might be someone's cross-dressing, Grand-diddy? She'on look too feminine although she surely is serving up that dust/smoke and durrtty hairhat!
…and I just came to after something really ratchet jumped out at me on Pinterest while I was minding my own business looking for holiday stuff!
…..Pinterest gots the ratchets????? I haven't been on in a minute.
The fact that the picture was taken in my hometown of Milwaukee does not surprise me. At all. She was prolly twerkin' somethin' for the folks. LOL
She looks like a cross between Florida Evans and Esther from Sanford and Son.
Ok, why does it look like she fittna fall? She holdin the wall like she used it to catch herself.
I honestly think Ester Rolle never passed and she's reviving her role as Idella. Drive on Miss Daisy!!

Outstanding stories from Spring Quarter 2014/2015
This special edition of HIKI NŌ highlights is hosted by HIKI NŌ grad Victoria Cuba and features some of the outstanding stories from the Spring Quarter of the 2014/2015 school year:
From Waipahu High School on Oahu: a follow-up story on Victoria Cuba. We first met Victoria last season as a senior at Waipahu High School, when she opened up about being homeless. Now, she attends the University of Hawaii at Manoa on a full scholarship and interns at PBS Hawaii. No longer homeless, she resides in a UH dorm, but admits that the transition has had its challenges.
From Kapaa High School on Kauai: the story of a new program created by the Kauai Humane Society to encourage the adoption of dogs. Volunteers take dogs from the Kauai Humane Society on field trips to various places on the island to help them meet potential owners.
From Ewa Makai Middle School on Oahu: an introduction to P.E. for the 21st century. When students take physical education at this high-tech middle school on the Ewa plain, they don't just play dodge ball or run laps around the track. We learn how their innovative P.E. program is using computer technology to help students get fit both physically and technologically.
From Mid Pacific Institute on Oahu: a profile of Na Hoku Hanohano Award-winning musician Mark Yamanaka. Yamanaka shares one of the biggest challenges of his life – not being of Hawaiian ancestry and wanting to play Hawaiian music.
From Moanalua High School on Oahu: the story of Moanalua history teacher Cris Pasquil, who uses non-traditional activities like group projects, skits and even music to instill a love of learning in his students. He draws inspiration from his own experience learning hula under kumu hula Robert Cazimero and his halau's victory at the esteemed Merrie Monarch Festival earlier this year.
From Konawaena High School on Hawaii Island: the story of how their school is trying to develop one of only two high school lacrosse teams on the island. Konawaena teacher Daniel Curran is on a mission to make lacrosse a mainstream sport in Hawaii. Starting a team has many unique challenges, but students say the benefits are worth it.
From Maui Waena Intermediate School on Maui: the story of their experience at the 2015 Student Television Network conference and video competition in San Diego, California. Although the primary purpose of their trip was to participate in the video competition, they also spent a great deal of time volunteering for worthy San Diego-based causes. The Maui Waena students went on to win several awards at the competition, but they consider their hours of community service as the most rewarding part of the trip.

"We live in a world where we're forced to make large, permanent purchases driven by fleetingly transient needs – Fat Lama changes that."
"The Fat Lama platform connects rentiers with renters to hire things from bricks to drones and audio equipment."
"How does one gain access to the best gear available, cheaply, and easily? Fat Lama is a company based in the U.K. that may just have the answer."

Now available on VOD and in select theaters is Drafthouse Films' dark thriller/comedy Cheap Thrills starring Pat Healy, Ethan Embry, David Koechner, and Sara Paxton. I watched the film last night and, while not for the faint of heart or stomach, I can't recommend it enough. At its core, Thrills works from a single question: how far would you go to be able to provide for yourself and/or your family? It uses precision pacing, confident direction from E.L. Katz, and solid performances across the board to explore this question, all while gradually rising to a crescendo that feels both inevitable and wildly inventive. Offhand I can't think of a film that blends the thrilling and the disgusting, excitement and repulsion, in a more entertaining way than Cheap Thrills. Regardless of whether you want to or not (and I don't think you will), this is a movie you won't soon forget.
In addition to talking a bit more about Cheap Thrills with Matt's review and a couple of interviews, this week's Top 5 also highlights our set visit coverage for Godzilla, Matt's review of Divergent plus interviews with Shailene Woodley and more, the final trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Muppets Most Wanted interviews with Tina Fey among others. Read on for a brief recap and link to everything I mention above.
1. GODZILLA Set Visit Coverage
While I have little to no experience with the oft referred "King of the Monsters", I've been looking forward to director Gareth Edwards' Godzilla remake since the first trailer debuted over three months ago. Add in this sensational second trailer and, at this point, I'm just shy of counting down the days to May 16th. It should come as no surprise, then, that Matt's Godzilla set visit coverage takes this week's top spot: his set visit recap, on set interviews with Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, director Gareth Edwards, and Legendary Pictures CEO/producer Thomas Tull.
2. DIVERGENT Interviews and Review
Though I'm still guilty of the occasional eye roll when the trailers pop-up in front of a movie I'm seeing at the theater, I always try to keep a sense of perspective that a majority YA novel adaptations are not made for me and that's okay. There's a substantial market for said adaptations as evidenced by Divergent's solid $22.8 million Friday box office take and I can't begrudge either side for their involvement in making and seeing the film because it's not all about me. This self-realization aside, I encourage those excited about the film to check out Matt's review; Steve's slew of video interviews with the excellent Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller & Jai Courtney, Ansel Elgort (who stars alongside Woodley in my much-anticipated The Fault in Our Stars), Tony Goldwyn & Ashley Judd, and Christian Madsen & Ben Lloyd-Hughes; and Sheila's text interview with composer Tom Holkenborg (a.k.a. Junkie XL).
3. Final Trailer for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
Having already released enough clips and trailers for the film for someone with enough time, interest, and skill to recreate the completed film from its parts, Sony revealed what it claims is the final trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this past week. In spite of my snide remarks, I'm looking forward to the film even if this trailer does spend more time running in slow motion than not. Also, if the trailer does anything for you then I believe Tommy's recap of the movie's first 15 minutes will also be relevant to your interests.
4. MUPPETS MOST WANTED Interviews with Tina Fey and More
The follow-up to 2011's exceptionally fun The Muppets hits theaters this weekend in the form of Muppets Most Wanted. To celebrate we peppered the site this week with video interviews for the pic with the likes of Tina Fey, Kermit & Miss Piggy, producer Todd Lieberman, and songwriter Bret McKenzie. We also have a few press conference transcripts for you to read through with Tina Fey, Ty Burrell, Ricky Gervais, and some of the Muppets gang as well as director James Bobin & Bret McKenzie.
5. CHEAP THRILLS Interviews and Review
As I note in this week's second spot, I've come to accept the fact that not every movie that gets made is done with my own sensibilities in mind. Then again, some are. Enter Cheap Thrills: a disgusting, exhilarating piece of cinema that seems to be after my own sick heart. Though it won't be everyone's cup of tea, I look for it to go down as a cult favorite and a film that I'll gladly add to my collection. These endorsements in mind, do yourself a favor by checking out Matt's review, Haleigh's interviews with director E.L. Katz and stars Pat Healy & Ethan Embry, and if I haven't scared you off already, the movie itself on VOD and in select theaters now.

Well, there's your problem…
Why can't we create innovative companies? What happens to all that basic research funding, proof-of-principle financing, and industrial research support?
It doesn't work, says the government. We aren't getting the return we expect on our investment, they say. And it's the fault of business, which doesn't appreciate our collective largesse in funding innovative activities, we're told.
We write op-eds, we blog about it, and we announce important blue-ribbon panel reviews of the whole shebang.
We will figure out why business is failing to create innovative Canadian companies. Maybe it's because our tax incentives are back-end loaded. Maybe the balance between seed-stage and early-stage public financing of companies isn't quite right. Maybe (probably!) our Canadian CEOs are simply fat-cats content to cash their cheques and stock options while we remain forever proverbial hewers and drawers of wood and water, respectively.
But maybe not. Maybe we do create innovative companies. I know a lot of people who do, at least. And they struggle to find a market for their innovative products and services. Fair enough, that's the free market, nothing the government can do about that.
Except when it can. And then doesn't.
Let me introduce you to an indisputable Canadian innovation success story. Medicago is a Canadian company that produces vaccines in tobacco plants instead of using traditional egg-production techniques. This allows a much more rapid development and deployment of seasonal and pandemic vaccines. Their proprietary technology, currently in phase I and II clinical trials, was developed in Canada thanks in part to government funding – they've reportedly had an ongoing relationship with NRC since 2001, received almost $300,000 from NRC-IRAP two years ago (.pdf here) and another $300,000 from CIHR this year. They've been awarded numerous Canadian business and technology awards. They have translated these investments and successes into millions of dollars in private sector investment and a public listing on the TSX. Not bad for a company based out of Quebec City.
So what's wrong with this obvious success story?
Medicago made the news this week because the US Department of Defense is investing $21-million to build a 90,000 sq ft state-of-the art production facility in North Carolina. The facility will be able to produce 120-million pandemic vaccine doses annually or 40-million seasonal vaccine doses annually. In a news release, the US government recognizes the company's ability to bolster domestic vaccine supply, respond more rapidly than traditional methods, and bring "hundreds of good paying jobs" to the region.
The 90,000 sq ft facility in North Carolina will dwarf the current estimated 15,000 sq ft dedicated to production in Quebec City, and will inevitably shift the company's focus south.
The Canadian government's response?
According to CBC news, Health Canada remains committed to egg-based vaccines:
"To date, there is no conclusive data to suggest that one vaccine production technique is safer or more effective than the other," Health Canada said in a statement. "Further research and development will expand our knowledge around the use of this new technology."
Are you kidding?
This is the problem.
Sorry: though delivery and administration of vaccines is a provincial responsibility, Health Canada was responsible for coordinating the response to the H1N1 pandemic and funded 60% of its cost. It is very nearly the ONLY CANADIAN CUSTOMER for this company. And they're not really interested? They're content to let the company head south, because "more research is needed"?
This is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. The Canadian government is conservative – not just politically, but in its support of innovation. We have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this company over almost a decade, but we refuse to buy their products?
And we wonder why these companies head south?
We did a good job of supporting innovation here – up to the point where we had to step up and consume the products of our investment. And then?
Sorry, not interested.
Supporting innovation is more than throwing money at researchers. It's a change in the way of thinking. The government should be ashamed that they're letting this company leave due to a lack of business. You certainly can't blame Medicago. Good for them.
The government should take notice and work to implement a procurement innovation policy that requires support for domestic innovative companies. Or else we'll keep watching our best companies born here, grow up, and then leave.

Insightful commentary- frustrating prospects. Thanks for keeping a critical eye on the state of science and innovation!

Having been in the science policy game for 35 years, I have known that the best way to support innovative companies is not just tax incentives, but the purchase of the output from the firms. One entrepreneur from the 1970's told me that even if the government buys our product at the front door and quietly shoves it in the garbage at the back (not because of lack of quality but just don't need it), it lends some credibility to struggling firms trying to enter foreign markets.

Great post Rob. Our government's unwillingness to buy Canadian products is also true in tech. I work for a small start-up in Ottawa, we provide best-of-breed collaboration software that is used by people all over the world. But when I meet managers from the public sector, the discussion is always steered to: how is your product better than Microsoft, and how can we rely on a company as small as yours?
End result is always the same – they stick with what they believe is the safe (conservative) choice.
December 14, 2010 08:17
Great insight Rob. It's a shame really that we can't be more innovative. We have the capabilities to do it. We are far too conservative for our own goods.
I look forward to your next post.

The consultation paper from the panel has been released:
As you may be aware, on October 14, 2010, the Government of Canada launched an independent expert panel to undertake a Review of Federal Support to Research and Development (R&D). As the panel's chair, I am pleased to inform you that our national consultation process has begun with the release of our consultation paper.
We are interested in hearing your views on how federal support for business and commercially-oriented R&D can be optimized to stimulate innovation and create economic opportunity for Canada. The government has asked us to provide recommendations about the effectiveness of programs, whether the current mix and design of programs is appropriate, and to suggest ways to fill any gaps that we identify in the suite of federal programming.
I invite you to visit our website http://www.rdreview-examenrd.ca where you can read our consultation paper and view guidelines for making a submission to the panel. Submissions will be accepted until February 18, 2011. If you have any questions, please contact us at: email@example.com

Energy Drink Label
This was a semester-long project for my beginning Photoshop class, to create a label for a fictional product of our choice. It had to be the correct dimensions to fit on an actual object, and had to be printed out to be brought into class for a final demonstration at the end of the semester.
I chose to do an energy drink in a 20oz bottle called "Tribal Infusion".
The image here has been resized for the web and changed to RGB color, but the original was in CMYK format, and large enough to wrap around the exterior of a soda bottle. I had already had four years of practice with Photoshop, so the biggest thing I took away from this class was how differently images appeared in RGB (web colors) versus CMYK (print colors). If I had to do it all over again, I would work on the image in RGB, and convert it later to CMYK when I was ready to print it, rather than working the entire time in CMYK, having no idea how the final product was going to end up looking.

Why We Love Stittsville
Stittsville is a fabulous place for families. With its public parks and excellent community centres, there's plenty to see and do.
Far from being a suburb, Stittsville has a style and character all its own, with independent shops and local businesses that make the village stand out.
It truly is an exceptional place to live and raise children.
Parks A-Plenty
Stittsville's biggest park is Walter Baker Park, located on the northernmost edge of the village, on its border with Kanata. The park features a splash pad and plenty of space to walk the dog, play a game of soccer, or just enjoy the views of the park's small lake.
And that's just the beginning. The City boasts over 40 public parks to choose from within Stittsville's borders. A map of the area shows just how proliferate these parks are. Whatever neighbourhood you live in, Stittsville will have a park for you.
Community Centres and Events
Stittsville is home to several community centres, which have many features that appeal to families. For example, the CARDELREC Recreation Complex gives Stittsville-dwellers access to a public pool with a 40-meter waterslide, two NHL-sized ice rinks, and a full-sized gym. If you're looking for a fun family activity, Goulbourn offers drop-in badminton and basketball.
The Stittsville Village Association helps to keep the community lively by offering yearly events for the whole family. Arts in the Park gives the community a glimpse into Stittsville's vibrant artist scene every spring. In fall, the annual Parade of Lights is a chance for the community to come together to celebrate the winter season. There's always something going on in Stittsville!
The Canadian Tire Centre
Of course, one of Stittsville's biggest attractions is The Canadian Tire Centre. People flock from the surrounding region to catch Senators Games and watch concerts from the biggest talents to grace the city.
If you're into excitement, keep an eye on their calendar of events. You never know when your favourite artist might be coming to town.
Cassidy's is Your Trusted Stittsville Mover
We love Stittsville. It's a place that is full of life. And while we love its parks, community centres and community events, what we love most is the people. When we head out to Stittsville, we know we'll always be greeted with a smile and a wave.

From films about Andrew Bird to Bad Brains, there is something for everyone. They will also be a live component to the series featuring after parties at Hotel Foster.

An Affair of the Heart
Aussie heartthrob Rick Springfield appears to be a hypnotist. He's entranced thousands of fans since 1981, when he released his hit song "Jessie's Girl" and joined the cast of General Hospital. In this wildly entertaining documentary, we get to tag along with his diverse and devoted groupies as they storm his concerts, flood his cruises, and swarm to his book signings to bask in his presence and pour out their hearts.
Andrew Bird: Fever Year
Andrew Bird's fans often sweat and shiver during his stunning violin solos. Bird also exhibited these symptoms during the 165-show tour he launched in 2009. Instead of admitting he was sick, he insisted he was morphing into an "animal perfectly adapted to the music hall." Kartemquin Film's Xan Aranda captures Bird's sometimes-peculiar perspective in intimate documentary segments and showcases his inventive, multi-instrumental looping technique with concert footage from Milwaukee's Pabst Theater.
Bad Brains: A Band in DC
In the mid-1970s, four black teens bond around a love of jazz fusion, then make history by inventing a loud, fast, punk spin-off called "hardcore" through their band Bad Brains. Their impact and influence can be heard in groups like Beastie Boys, No Doubt, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, and countless more. Filled with concert footage, animation, and interviews with music legends, this high-energy documentary reconstructs Bad Brains' rich and complicated history.
Charles Bradley: Soul of America
By age 62, most Americans are contemplating retirement. For Charles Bradley, this age marked the takeoff of a career he started long ago, with the lauded release of his debut album, No Time for Dreaming. Director Poull Brien glimpses into the boxes that have confined this genial musician, which range from homelessness to illiteracy and constant poverty, and reveals the extraordinary journey of a man who never gave up.
Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey
While searching for a new singer, iconic rock band Journey stumbles across a YouTube video of a Journey cover band in the Philippines. Guitarist Neal Schon is stunned at the vocal similarity of their lead singer, Arnel Pineda, to Journey's legendary former lead singer Steve Perry. And so begins the rags-toriches whirlwind journey of Pineda, told to us through candid interviews and rockin' concert footage that'll have you singing along.
Grandma Lo-Fi
Step inside the creative world of Icelandic cult hero Sigríður Níelsdóttir, who at the ripe old age of 70 finally decided she couldn't keep the music inside any longer and released 59 albums over the course of seven years. This delightful doc shows the DIY aesthetic that Níelsdóttir's work is infused with, and one can't help but be inspired to create when faced with her charming anything-goes methods.
Grandma Lo-Fi – Trailer from Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir on Vimeo.
I Want My Name Back
The Sugarhill Gang's 1979 megahit "Rapper's Delight" drew hip-hop into the mainstream with a catchy incantation: "I said a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie, to the hip hip hop." As thousands of fans shouted these words, the trio's money, name, and fame quietly drained into their managers' pockets. In this documentary, Roger Paradiso follows two founding members as they work to reclaim their identities as hip-hop pioneers.
"I Want My Name Back" Official Trailer from Shelby Larkin on Vimeo.
Mama Africa
Miriam Makeba wasn't just a Grammy-winning singer. She was a real-life angel who used her voice to fight Apartheid. After her native South Africa revoked her citizenship, she launched a music career in America, only to lose it by wedding Black Panther Stokely Carmichael. Director Mika Kaurismäki combines archival footage from Makeba's personal life, interviews with friends and family, and clips from her historic Cape Town concerts to celebrate her legacy.

Coursework in American Sign Language, French, and Spanish is offered by members of the faculty of the Division of Literature, Languages, and Philosophy. Coursework in foreign languages emphasizes instruction in the fundamentals of syntax, pronunciation, and idiomatic expressions. There is a four-way approach to teaching foreign languages (listening/comprehension, conversing, reading, and writing). Instruction takes place in both the classroom and the foreign language laboratory, where students practice speaking and pronunciation and where they watch video material, films, or documentaries in the foreign language they study. Intermediate and upper-level courses stress the acquisition of communicative skills and cultural or literary information.
Students who pursue a baccalaureate degree are required to complete 6 semester credit hours of a foreign language (101 and 102 or 171 and 172) as part of the Liberal Studies Requirements, or to demonstrate elementary knowledge in a foreign language by making the necessary score on an AP examination or on a CLEP examination (see the Bulletin section on Credit by Examination/Certification and credit for Life Experience). Foreign language proficiency examinations are also available to those who seek advanced placement in a foreign language or exemption from the foreign language requirement (see the Bulletin subsection on Proficiency Examination Programs).
Elementary foreign language courses 101 and 102 or 171 and 172 must be taken in sequence and in the same language.
Curriculum Guides
Curriculum guides are designed to help students stay on track for timely graduation. In order to remain on track, students must complete the minimum requirements for each tracking semester, known as milestones. Milestones may include successful completion of specified courses and/or attainment of a minimum GPA.
Following the sample academic plan and its milestones will help students stay on track to graduate in four years. Students will need to refer to and/or print both the appropriate Liberal Studies Requirements AND the appropriate major sheet in order to view the complete degree program requirements.
- Liberal Studies General Core Requirements
- Liberal Studies Requirements: Whitney Young School Honors Program
- BA – Spanish
Program Requirements
To satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, students must complete a total of 120 credit hours including a 36-credit-hour core, nine hours in supporting electives chosen from a specific list of courses in foreign languages, a three-hour support course and 16 credit hours in free electives. A total of 45 semester credit hours at the 300/400 level are required for graduation.
Divisional Attendance Policy
For all classes offered by the Division of Literature, Languages and Philosophy, the Divisional Attendance Policy will be enforced. This policy states that missing more than twenty percent (20%) of the course's total class meetings for any reason is in itself sufficient cause for a student to receive a failing grade in the course. Instructors may adopt other attendance policies at their own discretion as long as these policies are included in the class syllabus and are within the parameters of the University's attendance policy. Instructors will adopt their own policies for lateness and early departure from class and list these policies in the class syllabus.
