In PART 1 of our series on Securing the Modern Workplace using Microsoft 365 we discussed the background and high level solutions, and defined 5 specific solution areas, namely TRUSTED USER, TRUSTED DEVICE, TRUSTED APP, TRUSTED PLATFORM and TRUSTED DATA.
Today we will dive into a bit more detail on how you can ensure you have TRUSTED USERS when making use of Microsoft 365.
You may have heard the often-used slogan "Identity is the new Firewall" or "Identity as Control Plane" and this is very true. Securing the datacenter and device is no longer enough, as the systems that process your data and where you store your data are no longer in your datacenter but out there on the internet. The best place to start securing your data in the Modern Workplace is right at the from door, by securing the user's IDENTITY. Some claim that as much as 97% of all security breaches in the last year started with a breached identity. Regardless of whether this figure is accurate or not, if you can assume somebody's identity you often have unhindered access all devices, apps, platforms and data the user has access to. The weakest link in your security chain is HUMANS. We are animals of habit, we are often lazy, we are incredibly creative in circumventing all kinds of complex security road blocks and most importantly we are very susceptible to social engineering attacks such as Phishing. The most important step you can take to improve your security posture today is to protect your users' identities.
Microsoft has observed a 300% increase in identity related cyber attack in 2017. Attacks are becoming more sophisticated but also more "brutal"; "next gen" malware is becoming intelligent and adaptive, password spay attacks are used en masse, phishing is wide spread, breach replay is rampant due to users having to manage accounts in multiple cloud services (password re-use) and new attacks such as content abuse, sinkhole jacking and election hacking are appearing daily. The common denominator here is IDENTITY.
Attackers start with a small footprint, for example by making use of a password spray attack where they attempt a list of often-used and common passwords against know accounts until they gain access. This is often done on the mobile device, with your identity stolen by, for example, installing and non-trusted app from the app store and giving it access to your identity. Think of a scenario where you access your corporate webmail account on your partner's private tablet, which also has dubious free "games" or other malware installing apps installed. Once attackers have access to one, often unimportant account (often without any special privileges) they next dump the company's global address list, meaning they now have access to a large dictionary of corporate mailboxes and thus accounts. Once they have this database, often in conjunction with social media information to determine which accounts are potentially privileged, they then start pivoting and launching slightly more sophisticated attacks, such as breach replay or phishing attacks against more specific, targeted accounts.
The message here is attacks start with a VERY SMALL loophole. Attackers typically get access to an unimportant, often old or dormant accounts and they silently work their way up until they get to the payload. The fix is simple: secure the identity layer; even the least privileged identities can give attackers an intrance. Perform regular reporting to identify old, dormant accounts and again: secure all your user identities, not only the important ones.
TIP 1: Implement Azure Active Directory PREMIUM
Identities in Microsoft 365 are protected using Azure Active Directory ("AAD"). While an easy explanation would be that AAD is "Active Directory in the Cloud", AAD us MUCH MORE. On premise Active Directory ("AD") was designed to service "internal" users and was not designed with internet exposure in mind. To enable AD to service users on the internet a "federation" solution ("I don't know, ask that guy") is added, the most widely used being Active Directory Federation Services ("ADFS"), which allows users on the internet to log in using their on-premise Active Directory credentials and receive an "access ticket" from the on-premise infrastructure. Without various additional security layers however, ADFS is simply an automated "ticketing" service. You go to the machine, buy your ticket and proceed to the turnstile. If you have a ticket, you have access. ADFS is thus primarily a Secure Ticketing Service and serves as simple "Identity Management" solution.
An automated ticketing machine and an unmanned turnstile assumes you have well behaved consumers with good intentions. The problem with this is that modern attackers are not well behaved and attacks have become very sophisticated. Identity Management alone is not enough, you need an INTELLIGENT Identity AND ACCESS Management System ("IAM"). This is where AAD comes in; while the "free" version of AAD provides a good replacement for on premise AD (Identity Management), AAD PREMIUM provide the tools to set down Conditional Rules and enforce them. It further makes use of machine learning and aggregation of data from multiple sources to understand attacks and act appropriately. It's a "Bouncer with a PhD".
When you purchase Office 365 (or Dynamics 365, or PowerBI or ANY Microsoft online product), you get a "free" or "basic" version of AAD. This is intended as basic identity storage solution ONLY. While there may be some small businesses out there that may be OK with running this, this free version is NOT intended to replace a mature identity management solution. If you have not arranged thing elsewhere, YOU NEED AAD PREMIUM. The good new is that all versions of Microsoft 365 include AAD premium in the base license.
A detailed comparison between AAD versions is available here.
TIP 2: Implement CONDITIONAL ACCESS with MFA
To ensure that your trusted users are protected, that they make use of trusted devices and apps, and that the backend platform remains trusted, Microsoft 365 provides Conditional Access as part of your Azure Active Directory "front door". Conditional Access guards your front door and ensures nobody is it let in (either employees or third parties) unless all required security conditions are met, such as proving the user us not compromised (trusted USER), the device is compliant (trusted DEVICE), the application adheres to all required safety measures (trusted APP). Various back-end services are used to "prove" each sign-in, including Multi Factor Authentication ("MFA"), the sign-in LOCATION (IP Address), evaluation of the APPLICATION used for access and the DEVICE's management state (is it complaint?). These factors are evaluated against the parameters you pre-determined for getting access to your platform and data, and appropriate action is taken. This cloud include allowing access, blocking access or enforcing restrictions in terms of which actions your are allowed to perform (such as only allowing view access and blocking screen capture, printing or download of files) .
TIP 3: User AAD PREMIUM PLAN 2 for sensitive or privileged identities.
Conditional Access not only allows you to define a static set of rules but is also backed by the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph, which constantly evaluates a large amount of elements based on patterns, behaviour and numerous external data sources, and subsequently evaluates the SIGN-IN RISK. Note however that not all these features are provided out of the box. Some of these "dynamic" security measures or metrics require AAD "PREMIUM 2", which is an absolute MUST for users that travel often, than roam across devices, that access extra sensitive data (HR?) or have extra sensitive identities (e.g. IT Admins).
This includes checks such as:
- Is it a Privileged User or Sensitive Identity logging in (for example an IT admin, HR manger or company CEO)?
- Have we seen the credentials used to log in being made public (i.e. a passwords know to be leaked on the Dark Web)?
- Is a Sensitive App being accessed (for example a HR system containing sensitive employee PII data or a SharePoint site containing secret information)?
- Is this a new, non-managed or previously unknown device?
- Has malware been detected on the device or in the data being uploaded?
- Is the IP address your are logging in from listed as a Botnet? When your identity is manged in the Azure AD cloud (not federated on premise), this check is automated.
- Would this be considered "impossible travel" (e.g. logging in from Amsterdam and 5 minutes later from a location 1000's of kilometres away)?
- Are you using an anonymous client (such as the Tor browser)?
- Has a high number of failed sign-in attempts been detected for this user?
All these measures are to help ensure the back-end Office 365, Dynamics 365 or third-party cloud services remain "trusted PLATFORMS" and the data stored there remain "trusted DATA".
TIP 4: Enable AAD Privileged Identity Management for Just in Time access.
For protecting "privileged" identities, such as IT Admins, Developers and Security and Compliance Officers, Microsoft has developed Privileged Identity Management ("PIM"). PIM allows you to only get admin access "Just In Time", as and when you need it, rather than always having dangerous Global Admin or other privileged roles assigned to your account. This helps you apply least privilege more easily yet escalate to a higher privilege level when you really need it.
TIP 5: Implement AAD PASSWORD HASH SYNC!
While many believe they are improving their environment's security by not allowing their passwords to be stored in the cloud, syncing passwords to AAD IMPROVES the security of user's identities. Firstly the password itself is securely encrypted by making use of the AD "hash" and performing 1000 iterations of non-reversible, one-way re-encryption using a new salt value. So storing your password in the cloud IS NOT a risk, to the contrary, if you use an on-premise alternative like ADFS or OKTA, exactly the same user makes use of exactly the same password over exactly the same internet connection to access your resources BUT the level of security Microsoft can achieve both in terms of datacenter facilities and in terms op operations (for example large teams of security specialists) with AAD, vastly surpasses anything we can hope to achieve in out own environments.
To detected potential leaked credentials, AAD compares the hashed password against a large database of commonly used, unsafe and predictable passwords, including checking it against lists of passwords know to be posted on the Dark Web. This means if your employee used the same password for Office 365 as they used for a less secure third-party web site, even if this site's password list leaked, you remain protected.
TIP 6: Use the reporting and Secure Score!
Azure AD provides you a wealth of reporting, including "risky users" and "risky sign ins". Make it a habit to review these reports regularly. You can often attack an attack that is underway well in advanced, especially for the less sophisticated (bulk of-) attacks that use brute force to try various accounts against dictionaries of know passwords. AAD also provides you with Identity Secure Score (more on Secure Score in a future article, "trusted platform"), which provides you with a dashboard and a security rating on your live environment. This allows you to view trends and gives you concrete, real world, actionable recommendations to increase your identity security posture. More info HERE.
TIP 7: Go PASSWORD-LESS
The biggest "giant leap" you can take in securing your user identities is to go password-less. Microsoft 365 and Windows 10 includes Windows Hello, which makes authentication unique to a device and bio-metric combination and eliminated passwords completely. Implementing Windows Hello mitigates 90% (my own estimate) of the top identity targeted attacks in one small step. We will discuss this in more detail in de next article "trusted device".
Many older apps and protocols, such as POP3, IMAP, ActiveSync and more make use of legacy authentication protocols. These are no longer considered safe. These are very easy to block using AAD PREMIUM. If your application does not support Modern authentication, seriously consider implementing new, modern apps.
TIP 9: Have a been pwned?
To see whether your credentials have been compromised, check your account (including any other accounts where you have used the same password, for example personal, and accounts you ever used ON THE SAME DEVICE as your corporate account) on THIS site.
It is often said that your business' largest capital is PEOPLE. The easiest step you can take to increase your security posture is to help them PROTECT THEIR IDENTITIES.

How much does treatment cost?
Treatment for HIV is available throughout Australia at highly subsidised costs for holders of Australian Medicare Cards, through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) – which is a scheme of the Australian Government which is said to create affordable medicines for all Australians, for their health-care needs.
Patients make a small co-payment (when issuing their prescription and collecting their medications) for each item (drug) listed on their prescription.
From 1 January 2017, you pay up to $38.80 for most PBS medicines or $6.30 if you have a concession card. The Australian Government pays the remaining cost.
The amount of co-payment is adjusted on 1 January each year in line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
A Safety Net also applies for Individuals and families, which reduces the annual cost of medicines when co-payments reach a certain threshold. For more information on the PBS visit their website. Specific costs and Safety Net Thresholds can be found here.
The PBS covers all health conditions (not just HIV) for medicines which are approved in Australia and listed on the PBS. All highly specialised HIV anti-retroviral drugs are listed on the PBS, along with other general medicines for other health conditions as well.
HIV treatment usually comprises of a three (3) drug combination of pills. These can be prescribed by your doctor as either 3 separate pills, or 3 drugs combined into one single pill, or sometimes 2 drugs in one single pill plus another pill – depending upon your particular prescribing needs as recommended by your doctor.
For further information about the PBS and Medicare eligibility visit NAPWHA's website.
If you have any questions about HIV treatment, please call QPP's Health Education Officer toll free from a land-line on 1800 636 241, use the contact form provided or call (07) 3013 5555 (nationally).

The Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) and European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) have sent a joint letter to the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) requesting that the Bahrain Cycling Team's application for a place on the WorldTour is rejected.
BIRD and ECCHR have questioned the human rights record of the Bahrain team's owner, Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and say that his involvement as the head of a cycling team would violate the UCI's code of ethics and would "stain cycling as a whole by association".
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
Prince Nasser confirmed last week that he plans to create a WorldTour cycling team, and is reportedly interested in signing Giro d'Italia winner Vincenzo Nibali from the Astana team to head up the squad.
In their letter to UCI president Brian Cookson sent on June 6, BIRD and ECCHR write "in April 2011, in the midst of a violent government crackdown against peaceful anti-government protestors, Prince Nasser formed an investigate committee whose role was to identify and sanction athletes who took part in these demonstrations.
"Athletes have made credible allegations that they were subjected to torture in 2011 around this time. Although there is no suggestion that Nasser was personally involved in the torture of athletes, three Bahrainis have alleged that Prince Nasser personally subjected them to torture between April and May 2011.
"In October 2014, the UK's High Court confirmed that the Prince had no diplomatic immunity in Britain in relation to the allegations of torture."
>>> Inside story on Bahrain's new WorldTour team: Vincenzo Nibali to head roster
BIRD and ECCHR request that the UCI investigates the concerns raised over Prince Nasser's human rights record.
"Prince Nasser remains in his positions as President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee and President of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sport and with the Bahrain government, which continues to commit human rights violations including systematic torture," the letter said.
"The allegations of torture also raise serious concerns over the ethical and moral character of Prince Nasser. If the allegations are true, then Prince Nasser has committed a grave crime which will stain Cycling as a whole by association.
"As President of the Ethics Commission, you are responsible for safeguarding principles of the CoE [Code of Ethics] and the integrity and reputation of Cycling. We believe that the involvement of Prince Nasser in the sport will be in violation of the jurisprudence and principles of the CoE.
"As such we ask the Commission to commence an appropriate investigation of this matter before considering the grant of a licence to Prince Nasser, that will include liaison with appropriate stakeholders and that Prince Nasser be refused a licence for his team at the UCI and financial contributions from him be refused."
WorldTour team (WorldTeam) licence applications are considered by the UCI Licence Commission. All applicants must meet a set of criteria in order to have a licence issued: sporting, ethical, financial and administrative.
Cycling Weekly has contacted the UCI for its response.

The authors analyzed three years of health and efficiency data at an industrial laundry company and found an apparent 4 percent gain in the average worker's productivity — roughly one day of productive work a month per employee. Those whose health improved during the course of the study, whether they had pre-existing health problems or were already considered healthy, posted significant gains of 10 percent or more.
For their study, the authors started with health information about the program's participants, including their weight, blood pressure and the results of a comprehensive blood screening. This was combined with data from the company's IT system, which scored how efficiently each worker performed various tasks. Because one of the laundry's plants didn't offer a wellness program, this gave researchers something like a control group on which to test whether other factors, such as a change in company policies, influenced the productivity gains. A total of 111 employees — 69 in the program and 42 in the control group — were included in the study.
Almost two-thirds of program participants started out with some kind of health problem, whether high cholesterol, obesity, hypertension or chronic pain. While most saw no improvement (as assessed by an independent panel of physicians) several did get better, as did a handful of workers who were considered healthy during the first screening. Both groups showed significant gains in productivity.

The authors estimate that the wellness program had a 76 percent return on investment, a figure that they say could be much higher if more employees participated and if turnover could be reduced.
What explains the productivity gains? The study doesn't provide a definitive answer but it suggests two potential reasons. One, the programs can demonstrate a corporate commitment to employee well-being and can make workers who participate feel more motivated to work harder. Two, the programs can result in healthier workers whose productivity improves because they are actually better able to do their jobs. This explains how the largest productivity gains came from those, sick or healthy, who saw their health improve during the program.
The authors caution that the small size of the study means the gain in overall productivity is imprecise. It also limits their ability to say which health improvements result in the most productivity gains, though post-program surveys suggest diet and exercise were important factors. Still, the study shows that employer-sponsored wellness programs constitute a socially responsible practice that can pay off in the health of employees and their value to the company.

Having drawn their league encounter and Skerries Harps senior camogie team earning a one-point victory in their group championship game this semi-final clash was always likely to be a tight affair. And this is exactly how it turned out with Ballinteer coming out victorious in a championship encounter against the Harps for the very first time.
In truth, of the three games between the sides this year, this was the one that the Harps girls will feel that they should have prevailed in. Playing into the school end in the first period they had earned a five point lead at the break thanks to a dominant second quarter. Like the earlier encounters the opening exchanges were tense and tight. Four pointed frees were equally shared between the sides as each set of forwards were being well marshalled by their markers.
The game really came to life in the second quarter when a long Aoife Halpin free was finished crisply to the Ballinteer net by Julia Gormley. Almost immediately Ballinteer's most dangerous player Jane Tully broke inside the home defence and looked certain to goal. But the covering Val Van Veen executed a brave and skilful block to concede a 45. Some excellent points from play by Tara O'Flaherty, Niamh Murphy and Robyn Kehoe extended the Harps lead to five points and they went into the break in a good position.
The second half began in disastrous fashion for the home side when they conceded a sloppy goal in the first minute. This gave great heart to the visiting team and they pointed another free to cut the margin to two. A good point from Eve Kehoe steadied the home team but the middle part of the second half belonged to Ballinteer. Two excellent points from play reduced the margin to the minimum and then Ballinteer struck for a second goal to give them the lead for the first time in the game. They extended that to two points with a long free from Fiona Hayes.
The Skerries girls upped their game again and showed great spirit in the last ten minutes. They scored two good points from Robyn Kehoe and Niamh Murphy but another Tully score for Ballinteer kept the visitors just ahead. Unfortunately for the Harps girls their shooting accuracy deserted them in the last vital minutes and three good point chances went a-begging. A final run by Robyn Kehoe was blocked out for a 45. Heart break was to follow for the home team when Orlaith Durkan's attempt drifted narrowly to the left and their championship chances disappeared with the referee immediately calling full-time.
A brave effort by the Skerries players went unrewarded and as the only team to finish the group stages with full points they will feel very disappointed not to have progressed to next week's final.
Scores for Skerries: Julia Gormley 1-0, Orlaith Durkan 0-4(3f), Robyn Kehoe, Niamh Murphy, 0-2(each) Tara o'Flaherty, Eve Kehoe 0-1(each).
Harps Team: Aishling Spillane, Val Van Veen, Yvonne Hannon , Aoife Halpin, Evelyn Garland, Jean Murphy, Ciara Copeland , Catherine Richardson, Eve Kehoe, Tara O'Flaherty, Rachel O'Flaherty, Orlaith Durkan , Robyn Kehoe, Niamh Murphy, Julia Gormley. Subs; Clodagh Bolger for Jean Murphy(inj).

I was hoping to use the wood to lead the eye up to the bike, and create a sense of isolation between the bike and its surroundings. So, let me know what you think. Thanks.

I find I periodically "lose" an entry on my iPad because I inadvertently touch outside the entry box, and MJ interprets this as a "Cancel". I would recommend doing nothing, and make the user explicitly select Cancel or Done. Alternatively—but the 2nd choice—would be to have touching outside the box be an implicit "Done" rather than Cancel.

Speech by Mme Christine Lagarde at the Executives' Club of Chicago
Ms President, (Kaarina Koskenalusta)
Mr Mayor, (Richard Daley)
Mr Ambassador,
Dear friends,
"Change" is a politically very heavy word. I make a point not ot use it too often, but to practice it as much as I can.
There are important changes everywhere in the world. France is on the move. UK is nationalizing banks. There are international calls for more financial regulation. Who would have thought this a few years ago ?
But the most striking change is certainly that now foie gras is back in town.
I'd like to say that I feel at home in Chicago. I had the chance to live and work here for many years. And Chicago is certainly the "Frenchiest" city in the U.S. After all, its founder was a French Haitian named Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable. He settled on the shores of the Chicago River in the 1770s and became so popular that the Americans living around Lake Michigan wrote a petition to have him appointed administrator of the region. Imagine nowadays an American city begging for a French mayor... Personally, I could petition for an American mayor - à la Daley.
The biggest lesson Chicago could give us is how to reform successfully. In less than twenty years, Richard Daley transformed the city of the rust belt into the city of the future.
Just a few months ago, whenever I told foreign audiences that "France is on the move," I didn't have much to back up my assertion. Today, I have on my side the IMF "Article IV" Review and the 2008 World Competitiveness Yearbook published by the Institute for Management Development in Lausanne, which make both the same assertion, word for word. But above all, numbers are on my side. Unemployment has been trending down to its 1983 level (7.5 percent), 2007 saw a record number of business starts (+ 320,000), and growth has been encouraging. It has lived up to our forecast for last year—2.2 percent—and overshot our forecast for the first quarter of 2008—0.6 percent. We have four years left to meet our target of adding another percentage point to growth and achieving full employment. We are already on the right track.
I'd like to ( I ) start with a broad overview of what our reforms are all about : France is on the move. Then ( II ) I'll go on to describe their specific features that should make France more attractive to those of you who intend to live, work or invest in our country : France is opened for business.
( I ) France is on the move
Don't worry—I won't go through each of our fifty-five reforms, contained in thirty-seven laws passed by Parliament in the last year. Together, they represent a kind of "shock therapy," if I may borrow an expression from one of the most famous Chicagoans, Milton Friedman.
There are (1) reforms that we as a Government are implementing, (2) economic reforms that I am conducting more personally as Minister for Economy, Employment and Industry, and (3) international regulation reforms that your country can help us realize.
(1) Reforms that the French Government is implementing
The shock therapy will make all the clichés about our country belong to history.
The country of the laziness ? France is not anymore the country where everyone works 35 hours a week. We have made overtime work tax-free, which means less costly for businesses and much rewarding for employees. The result is that over half of all French companies (59 % in March) currently take advantage of this opportunity.
The country that subsidizes leisure ? We are creating a "Solidarity Income" which is very similar to your Earned Income Tax Credit. I know that Mayor Daley is very committed to the implementation of the EITC, as he made clear in his May 1st Annual Address, and I have no doubt that he would support this "Solidarity Income" mechanism designed to put people back to work.
The country of civil servants ? The aim of our Comprehensive Public Policy Review is to reduce headcount in the civil service while making it work more efficiently, based on Jean Chrétien's approach in Canada. We have already decided that one out of every two civil servants going into retirement will not be replaced.
The country plagued with strikes ? We have passed several minimum service laws that will allow in the future to keep school premises open to large numbers of children whose teachers are on strike.
The permissive country ? We have introduced stricter rules for dealing with repeat offenders, and we have stepped up our efforts at tackling illegal immigration. In 2007, the total number of illegal aliens decreased for the first time in 30 years.
The country with jam-packed lecture halls ? We have established the principle of university autonomy and set aside a budget of 5 billion euros to finance ten major university campus development programs. We also plan to create American-style endowment funds.
The isolated country ? By advocating and then ratifying the Lisbon Treaty, President Sarkozy initiated a proactive policy that has gotten the European process back into gear. By the way, I have a favor to ask to those you who are irish, who know someone Irish, or who know someone who knows someone Irish : could you please use any means, cellphone, e-mail, text messages, to make Ireland vote for the Lisbon Treaty in the coming referendum ? Ireland is a great nation that deserves a great Europe. Vive l'Irlande !
(2) I will now talk about the economic reforms that I am responsible for.
They are based on a few basic principles : we need more work, more competition, more innovation.
More work : as I already mentioned, companies managers as well as workers can circumvent the 35-hour week thanks to facilitated overtime hours. Labor time in France today is now organized on a flexible basis, reflecting what businesses need and what employees want.
We have also established arrangements for renegotiating employment contracts, including the possibility of terminating them by "mutual agreement," and reformed our Public Employment Service. I also intend to get people on the dole to accept any "reasonable offer", otherwise their benefits will be cut. So France is clearly headed in the direction of flexicurity. I have also merged the organization responsible for paying the unemployment benefits and the one responsible for helping people who need job to find them. Our system will become more simple and more practical.
More competition : One of the goals of the Economic Modernization Bill I will present next week in Parliament is to develop a freer market by encouraging entrepreneurship and stimulating competition. We intend to do away with administrative red tape and cushy niches, especially in the retail business.
Our bill will create an individual entrepreneur status so that anyone who wants to work on a self-employed basis can do it. Whether that involves selling souvenirs, designing websites, crafting costume jewelry or giving voice lessons, the only formality will be to fill out an online registration form. In addition, individual entrepreneurs will be allowed to pay their income taxes and social security contributions in one go : a total of 13 percent for retailers and 23 percent for service providers, as long as annual revenue doesn't exceed a given ceiling. In a word : this is France's version of a flat tax.
As regards competition, we're going to loosen restrictions on price negotiations between suppliers and distributors, which aren't what you'd call free today. We're also going to increase the number of competitors in the marketplace by making it easier to open large retail stores, up to 1,000 square meters. Having more supermarkets, with greater freedom to determine how much they charge, is the fairest, most effective way of keeping prices down and inflation low in a free market economy.
More innovation : I have tripled the research tax credit in the 2008 Budget Bill - but I will get into more details later. And I also develop a strong cluster program to help create competitive R&D spots in France.
(3) There are also reforms that France cannot implement on its own, since they imply international cooperation.
France will be holding the presidency of the European Union for half a year. Regarding the economy and finances topics, this will be an ideal opportunity to take the initiative in at least four major directions : enhancing financial stability, completing the E.U. internal market, strengthening Europe's competitive position, and ensuring that the Economic and Monetary Union operates smoothly. That is the least to do for the 10th anniversary of this Union - almost as much time since Chicago and Paris became twin cities.
The French have an historical habit : whenever we undertake national reforms, we put them in universal terms. That goes for the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and we might try again for banking regulation today.
Nicolas Sarkozy was the first world leader to call for greater regulation, and subsequent developments in the financial crisises (I think there are more than one) have unfortunately proved him right. I remember that the President called me on my cellphone during my very short holidays in August to tell me : "something serious is happening, you should come back to Paris".
At the G7 meeting of finance ministers last October, we initiated discussions on what changes needed to be made. At the following G7 meetings in Tokyo and then in Washington again on April 11th, we went into action, setting a detailed timeline for implementing those changes. The aim is to promote more responsible future behavior among finance professionals—to prevent the kind of negligence that did so much damage. One such crisis is more than enough.
Relating to this, I'd like to tell you a fable of our well-known 17th-century author, Jean de La Fontaine, called "Conseil tenu par les rats", Rats' counsel. A cat named Rodilardus was slaughtering rats in so huge proportions that it was nicknamed "the devil". One day that he was away flirting with some female, the rats held a meeting and concluded that the only way to fix the problem was to tie a bell around Rodilardus'neck. But the first rat said : "well I won't do it myself, I'm not a fool" – and the second : "I don't know how to do it" – and finally nobody dared to implement the decision. Coming back, Rodilardus was free to eat as many rats as usual…
Unlike the rats of the story, each of us in the G7 meetings is now ready for action. That is why we have given the various market players a hundred days to act on our most urgent recommendations—and since today is May 23rd, their time is almost half up. The G7 has pressed the banks to be fully transparent about their losses and risk exposure, based on the Financial Stability Forum report, which contains a detailed list of points requiring disclosure. You might call it a patient health questionnaire that the G7 is asking banks around the world to fill out. With respect to accounting practices, the relevant supervisory authorities will be providing guidance to help banks and auditors apply consistent methods that are suited to valuing financial assets in a period of market disruption. And the Basel Committee, which brings together the various bank supervisory authorities, is scheduled to issue stricter standards for controlling liquidity risk by the end of July.
Further measures will be gradually introduced before the year is over, particularly to address capital adequacy requirements for banks and the role of credit rating agencies.
We politicians try naturally to keep a cool head and not to behave like these "barbarians at the vault" bashing the banking industry that The Economist mocked in its last issue. We don't forget the strength of modern finance and the way it contributes to the general wealth. I do believe that there isn't a true opposition between what we use to call the "financial world" and the "real economy" : there are both parts of the same system.
Bankers are driven by a mix of greed and guilt. They need greed : profit-making is at the heart of the financial industry. But they also need guilt : excessive risks have to be sanctioned. The purpose of a good regulation is to deal with these two aspects.
( II ) France is open for business
France is already the world's second biggest recipient of Foreign Direct Investment, since we outdistanced the U.K. last year, with total FDI in excess of 100 billion euros, versus 63 billion euros in 2006. France is number one for the FDI to the US ; and the US is symetrically number one for the FDI to France. Germany may be number one in exports, but France holds the FDI title in Europe, which is a very good news, as any of the 600,000 French workers employed in France by US companies could attest.
Despite these figures, France usually gets an average ranking in attractiveness and competitiveness surveys. We are ranked 31st by the World Bank's Doing Business report, 18th by the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index, or, very recently, 25th by the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook. Therefore we have stepped up our efforts to make our country a more attractive place to work and invest in. I'd like to take a few examples.
Individual taxpayers : The Act of August 21, 2007 sets a 50 percent tax shield to ensure that taxes never exceed half of total income.
Wage and salary earners : The Economic Modernization Bill aims to relax restrictions on impatriates by making the impatriation bonus tax-free – which is a kind of "remittance basis". In addition, high-level executives from other countries will have less trouble getting residence permits. Just when the United Kingdom is moving away from the tax breaks for the "non-doms", France is doing the opposite.
Businesses : As I already said, one of my top priorities is to foster innovation. Thanks to our new research tax credit, a company that spends up to 100 million euros on R&D will get 30 percent of that expenditure back from the Government (and 5 percent on spending above 100 million euros). The first year, the rate will even be 50 percent, then 40 percent the second year. France is now the most competitive country in the OCDE countries in terms of R&D taxation, and a lot of multinationals are starting to take advantage of this new opportunity. So if you want to save money while developing research labs, France is the place to be !
Financial service providers : This is a project I am personally very committed to. One of the first steps I took when I came to office was to set up a "Haut Comité de Place" with representatives of the financial sector to find the best way to improve our competitiveness in this field. Last December, we abolished the stamp duty on financial transactions on the Paris stock exchange. We have assisted NYSE-Euronext in creating a new "light-touch regulation" compartment on the Paris market. On this compartment dedicated to professional investors, information and language requirements are streamlined to keep the costs for issuers and investors down to a minimum. And what we have achieved on this new NYSE-Euronext compartment will soon be extended to all markets, thanks to a financial markets reform that will come with the Economic Modernization Bill.
In the same way, France has finally signed the London Agreement in order to reduce by 20-40 % the cost of establishing patent rights for inventions, and to make possible the use of the English language.
So as you can see, France is well on the road to reform. Like Spain in the eighties, like the United States in the nineties, like Germany in the early 2000s, we are experiencing what psychoanalysts refer to as a "Renaissance". All of a sudden, the words just seem to be flooding out and taboos are falling. Open any French newspaper and you'll find pages and pages about President Sarkozy and our reforms. It's gotten to the point where the political opposition is suggesting that formal limitations be placed on the President's "media exposure." In any event, my bet is that the current "shock therapy" will produce results. As William Faulkner wrote, "The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it."
A new France will emerge, stronger though leaner, more confident but not pompous, modern but still loyal to its culture.
Thank you very much./.

Right Place, Perfect Time: An Oasis in California's Desert Peaks
Lofty summits with boundless views, the world's oldest living organisms, near guaranteed solitude. Anywhere else, this trifecta would be a backpacker magnet. But harsh winters, hot summers, and a lack of water make extended trips a dicey prospect most of the year—with June the welcome exception.
Camp at 12,000-foot Barcroft Gate trailhead to acclimatize and stage for an early start the next day (check out ancient bristlecone pines at Schulman Grove on the 26.5-mile drive up White Mountain Road, off CA 168). Water up and ascend seven miles to 14,246-foot White Mountain Peak, highest in the Great Basin. Continue north cross-country, following the ridge to 12,676-foot Headley Peak. Seven miles from White Mountain Peak, descend to Chiatovich Flats at 11,000 feet (spring nearby) and set up a basecamp. On day three, ascend 12,559-foot Mt. Dubois, some six miles to the north. Backtrack to the car. Alternative: Strong hikers with a shuttle (end at Trail Canyon trailhead) can scramble over 13,140-foot Boundary Peak, Nevada's highpoint.

LANSING — The Michigan Economic Development Corporation today announced Michigan Strategic Fund approval of $4,472,531 in Downtown Infrastructure Grant program funds to nine Michigan communities for public infrastructure improvements.
The communities will provide a total of $3,353,464 in matching funds. All of the projects are located in traditional downtowns, will be completed within one year and will incorporate innovative design elements.
The communities chosen for awards today are the cities of Croswell, Grand Haven, Hart, Imlay City, Iron River, South Haven and Tawas City, and the villages of Fowlerville and Lyons.
DIG, a Community Development Block Grant program, provides public infrastructure improvement funding to projects located in a traditional downtown. The program is intended for Michigan non-entitlement communities — specifically low to moderate income communities that do not receive funding directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Projects must benefit the entire community to be eligible for the funding.
The MEDC Community Assistance Team members, along with state legislators, will be holding check presentations today in each of the respective communities.
The money will be used for a variety of purposes, including improvements in streetscaping, parking, streets, walkways, and more.

Ebola Health Center
Table of Contents
The Ebola virus causes a rare condition, Ebola virus disease, that can have common symptoms of fever, headaches and unexplained bleeding. Ebola virus disease can also damage the liver and kidneys and may result in both internal and external bleeding conditions.
Ebola is highly infectious. It can spread rapidly and has a high death rate, particularly in areas with overstretched health care systems — such as parts of West Africa, in which the 2014 outbreak took thousands of lives.
Primates like monkeys and chimps can carry the virus, and outbreaks usually begin when a human contracts the virus through contact with one. In the Philippines, scientists have discovered a less severe strain of Ebola in some monkeys and pigs.

This instrument is based on real samples of a 1978 Fender Rhodes Mark1 fully restored with clean pickups and tines, new grommets, new hammer tips, etc, so it is the best an electric piano can sound.
Acousticsamples model gives you access to a 100% continuous response, a very small sized library (80Mb) and a very high tweak ability. It also ensures that the staccatos and releases that make up for half of the realism sound perfect, not like a fadeout, not too loud, just perfect.
They found a way to combine both technologies by using samples as the sound source and all the rest uses modeling techniques. This allows the V Tines to weight only 80Mb (retina graphics and presets included), to really sound like a Fender Rhodes with all of its imperfections and to have a fully continuous response (if you're not convinced, listen to the 127 velocity example in our video) as well as a highly tweakable sound.
Pre 1969 Rhodes only had a mono tremolo, so that option was added and you can get that old school vibrato effect. Rhodes are often recorded through the direct output, but the suitcase models have a stereo amp that has a very recognizable sound with two 12' speakers facing the front and two facing the back and each side.
The AMP simulation is true stereo, meaning there is a very precise stereo image which is extremely useful when the Vibrato is on.
Rhodes pianos are often used with FX, so there is an FX panel with the most common ones, each of them is one of the very efficient and high quality FXs made by UVI. Each FX can be tweaked in real time.
Every keyboard has its own MIDI response. The MIDI mapper allows to adjust the response of the V Tines velocity by velocity if necessary, and we created a tool that does it automatically by analysing what you play. Just repeat a few linear velocity repetitions and it will be all set and ready to play.
Acousticsamples use the iLok system to protect their products, and you can choose to register your license to your computer or to an iLok dongle.
If you decide to use an iLok dongle, generation 1, 2 and 3 are compatible with their products.
You can activate your license on up to 3 computers or iLok dongles at the same time and you can deactivate one and activate another as many times as you want.

J.P. Carlton's Razor Cutting System makes machines cut up to 50% better than previously possible.
Over the past several years J.P. Carlton has been working very closely with Sandvik on the development of the Razor Cutting System. Sandvik is one of the world's largest producers of carbide cutting tools and a leader in carbide technology.
The J.P. Carlton Razor Cutting System has five major advantages over all other available systems – Higher Cutting Efficiency, Longer Tool Life, Less Chip Spread, Lower Maintenance, and Lower Induced Vibration.
The J.P. Carlton Razor Cutting System uses a patented low profile design and unique bit design to increase cutting production and tool life. This low profile design increases efficiency by as much as 50%. This increased production is extremely apparent on any machine above 40 horsepower. This increase in efficiency can be attributed to a couple of design features. With the low profile design there is much less drag due to large pockets or teeth being driven through the wood, chips, or dirt. The placement of the teeth both around the perimeter and on the sides of the wheel does not permit wheel and pocket rub against uncut material.
Sandvik has worked extremely hard to come up with optimal hardness carbide for our application. By varying the amount of Cobalt in the Carbide and changing the thickness of the carbide Sandvik has developed a tool which is extremely durable. They have made the carbide hard to help keep its cutting edge and have made it thick to prevent it from shattering. These cutting tools not only last longer than any we have ever tested they can also be swapped from one side of the wheel to the other providing a second cutting edge.
The unique design of the system reduces the amount of chip and material spread while cutting. The lack of large pockets or protruding teeth holders as on other systems reduces the cutting wheels ability to throw chips. There are also no double rights, double lefts or parallel sets of teeth which tend to carry and throw material in other systems. This greatly reduces the amount of time operators have to devote to clean up and reduces the risks associated with thrown objects when compared to other systems. The energy that other systems use throwing material around the yard is now used strictly for cutting!
The Razor Cutting System requires much less maintenance than current systems. There are only two different types of teeth used on the system – short shanked teeth on the perimeter and longer shanked teeth on the sides of the wheel. These Razor Teeth stick through the holders and though the wheel and are held in place by a nut on the other side. There are no allen head cap bolts as in other systems. Operators only need to remove the nut, pull out the tooth and replace it, no gauging required. Teeth may be swapped with ones from the other side of the wheel to prolong tool life. This simple process of replacing the tools greatly simplifies the maintenance procedure.
Our testing of the Razor Cutting System has proven it to induce less vibration into the machine under normal cutting. The low profile holders with little impacting against the stump greatly reduces the transmitted impact loads. This will prolong bearing and machine life.
This system has many advantages over all other systems currently incorporated.
- Higher Cutting Efficiency
- Longer Tool Life
- Less Chip Spread
- Less Required Maintenance
- Lower Induced Vibration

He was born in 1966, he holds 2 degrees. He graduated from S.M.Kirov's Kazakh National College as a instructor of economics and economic politics in 1990.
During the 6th Century BC the Greek geometer, Thales, travelled to Egypt to review political ethics. Following him within the 5th Century BC, the mathematician, Pythagoras, additionally studied political ethics in Egypt. They introduced back to Greece the mathematical structure of Western Democracy. The Greek philosopher Anaxagoras had derived a theory of creation from the mythological-mathematical theories of the Egyptian creator god Atum (Atom), talked about within the 'Pyramids Texts'. Then, for over 2 hundred years the Platonic tradition of Greek philosophy fused ethics into Anaxagoras' concept of creation. This was so as to invent science so that civilisation wouldn't turn out to be extinct, as had different life varieties found as fossils.
Though one might object to its superficiality, this paragraph follows the sound pedagogical principle of starting from the place the students are. The writer has most likely acquired such answers on the primary day of class when he requested his college students: What's physics? However the level of eliciting the students' untutored responses is to organize the best way for an ascent. Physics is merely the examine of nature, so its material is something acquainted. Yet the first day of a physics class is a moment ripe with new prospects. College students will learn to make use of their own powers; to see issues clearly of their easy aspect. It is a hanging thought that's implicitly on provide: that happiness might be had through careful reasoning. Right here is the unconventional second that defines liberal education, and it is particularly pregnant with liberation once we consider the manipulations of mass tradition that children are frequently subjected to.
Dovi: Course 1 actually actually works nicely for pre-readers, so we find kindergarten and first grade teachers use that pretty closely but we've also had feedback from our academics that it really works properly if you happen to're coping with an English as a Second Language inhabitants or college students with more extreme disabilities, so it's a good tool to have as a result of it means that in terms of fairness we're capable of reach students where they are.
Our children should be actively engaged in arms-on learning throughout their whole undergraduate faculty career and that is one of the simplest ways to develop deep comprehension. We cannot merely skip science training within the lower grades but count on students, by their twelfth yr, to all of a sudden acquire a deep understanding of science within the hopes they may proceed their schooling in college. Not solely does this approach assist with comprehension and extrapolation of scientific ideas, it aids college students in creating an organizational learning construction that encompasses different topics so that they excel in all.

Report Roundup
Report Finds Progress in Chicago Schools
A large number of Chicago elementary schools that were low-achieving in 1990 have made substantial progress in reading, concludes a study.
The 144 public, inner-city schools studied by Designs for Change, a Chicago-based research and advocacy group, typically reached national averages in student performance. They were among the lowest-performing of the city's approximately 480 elementary schools.
In 1988, local school councils were installed in each school by the state legislature, with the power to hire and fire principals. In 1990, the study says, only about 20 percent of the nearly 100,000 students attending the schools in the study were reading at or above national averages. Since that time, the study says, an average of 50 percent of the students in the K-8 schools read at the national average.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Binney, Thomas
BINNEY, THOMAS (1798-1874), English Congregationalist divine, was born of Presbyterian parents at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1798, and educated at an ordinary day school. After spending seven years in the employment of a bookseller he entered the theological school at Wymondley, Herts, now incorporated in New College, Hampstead. In 1829, after short pastorates at Bedford (New Meeting) and Newport, Isle of Wight, he accepted a call to the historic Weigh House chapel, London. Here he became very popular, and it was found necessary to build a much larger chapel on Fish Street Hill, to which the congregation removed in 1834. An address delivered on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone was published, with an appendix containing a strong attack on the influence of the Church of England, which gave rise to a long and bitter controversy. Throughout his whole career Binney was a vigorous opponent of the state church principle, but those who simply classified him as a narrow-minded political dissenter did him injustice. His liberality of view and breadth of ecclesiastical sympathy entitle him to rank on questions of Nonconformity among the most distinguished of the school of Richard Baxter; and he maintained friendly relations with many of the dignitaries of the Established Church. He continued to discharge the duties of the ministry until 1869, when he resigned. In 1845 he paid a visit to Canada and the United States, and in 1857-1859 to the Australian colonies. The university of Aberdeen conferred the LL.D. degree on him in 1852, and he was twice chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales.
Binney was the pioneer in a much-needed improvement of the forms of service in Nonconformist churches, and gave a special impulse to congregational psalmody by the publication of a book entitled The Service of Song in the House of the Lord. Of numerous other works the best-known is his Is it Possible to Make the Best of Both Worlds? an expansion of a lecture delivered to young men in Exeter Hall, which attained a circulation of 30,000 copies within a year of its publication. He wrote much devotional verse, including the well-known hymn "Eternal Light! Eternal Light!" His last sermon was preached in November 1873, and after some months of suffering he died on the 24th of February 1874. Dean Stanley assisted at his funeral service in Abney Park cemetery.

If you are learning or using nodejs, most of you might encounter the problem of running nodejs with Apache or Nginx. There are several solutions for this issue, with several pros and cons for each solution. for this article, I'll only consider we have a web server with apache.
Some of the suggested solutions are:
- Use a reverse proxy with apache (with mod_proxy) to serve nodejs apps
- Disable apache and run nodejs on port 80 😀
- Run nodejs on port 80 with a reverse proxy configured on nodejs
If you go with first method, you are really wasting the power of nodejs. But if you do a simple google search on this, lots of articles will suggest you or show you to go with this approach. I am not going to explain this in-depth. Following extracted text will explain what is the downside of this approach very well. 🙂
You just bought a brand new Ferrari and you want to take it for a spin on the highway.. So you go there.. But there is a big fat truck in front of you that only goes 50mph and there is no way to get passed it.
That is basically what you are doing if you put Apache (truck) in front of nodejs (Ferarri) this defeats one of the main purposes of using nodejs having a FAST evented machine.. which does not allocate threads for requests.
In the second approach, the only downside is you will lose your apache server. So if you run some CMS es like wordpress / drupal you have to find other alternative options like our 3rd solution.
So the 3rd option, running a reverse proxy with nodejs. This idea is really crazy. 😀 Following are the steps to do this.
- First, we have to make apache run on a different port other than port 80.
- Then configure nodejs to run on port 80.
- Create the proxy script with redbird.
- Configure PM2 to auto the start proxy server.
And we are done.
step 1: Make apache run on different port
First open
ports.conf in
/etc/apache2/ directory.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Then change
Listen 80 to
Listen 8080
so the
ports.conf will look like following.
Listen 8080 Listen 8443 Listen 8443
Next open
000-default.conf in
/etc/apache2/sites-available directory.
<VirtualHost *:80> to the previously given port as
<VirtualHost *:8080> and restart the apache server to reflect the changes.
sudo service apache2 restart
step 2: Configure nodejs to run on port 80
To run nodejs on port 80, the script will need sudo permission. But there are several ways to do this without sudo permission, which is more safer. We can bind nodejs to listen on lower ports (1 – 1024) by following commands.
sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/local/bin/node
Once you do this, we can listen to all lower ports including port 80 via our nodejs app.
step 3: Create the proxy script
Now we have to write the reverse proxy script. For an example let's say we have a wordpress blog running with apache on
http://mydomain.me:8080/blog/ (in the first step, me made apache run on port 80) and a nodejs app running on
http://mydomain.me:3000/ and we want to make both of these apps available on port 80.
To write the proxy script we will be using a npm module called redbird. we can begin writing the script as follows.
var proxy = require('redbird')({port: 80, xfwd: false); proxy.register("mydomain.me/blog", "http://mydomain.me:8080/blog"); proxy.register("mydomain.me", "http://mydomain.me:3000");
Note than, this reverse proxy script is set to run on port 80. Now if you run this script with
node proxy.js we'll be able to access our blog via
http://mydomain.me/blog/ and our node app on port 3000 via
http://mydomian.me/. 🙂
step 4: Configure PM2 to auto start the proxy server
Next step is to making this proxy script auto-start when the system boots. There is a great tool which will do this job for us called PM2. Install and configure it if you haven't already used it.
sudo npm install -g pm2 pm2 startup ubuntu
This last line will output command for you to run on the terminal to make PM2 auto start on system boot. Run it and you are almost done.
Next step would be adding our proxy script to process list of PM2. Then PM2 will take care of our script for us.
pm2 start proxy.js
Also via PM2 we can start / stop / restart the process like we use services in Linux.

As the title says bacon and cream - with some nutmeg and pepper to lift it. Nice with with a tossed green salad and some garlic bread.
I increased this to feed our family and it was great. A few changes to accomodate what I had on hand: I had no cream so instead I used 2% milk, so after melting the butter, I added a few pinches of flour to ensure I'd have a thicker sauce. I used regular black pepper and threw in some crushed red pepper for kick and left out the nutmeg. Whole family enjoyed this and I love how easy and quick it was to throw together. Thanks! - 07 Sep 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

A First Cousin Once Removed . . .
About 4:30 we headed out to the nearby Denny's, for what else, breakfast again. They don't have Jan's fav Avocado Toast, so she gets an Omelet with Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Onions, along with Fruit and an English Muffin.
Of course since mine is pretty plain jane, I get my usual Two Eggs Over Easy, 4 slices of Crispy Bacon, Fruit, and an English Muffin. The only downside at Denny's is that they don't have The Egg and I's Hazelnut coffee, but they do have Hazelnut creamers. If you know to ask for them,
Don't know what's happening with gas prices, but when we passed the HEB and the WalMart today on our way to Denny's, I noticed that the HEB price had jumped 9¢ a gallon and 6¢ at the WalMart across I-45.
But the Costco, where I just got a fill-up at $1.67 a couple of days ago, is only up to $1.69. Hopefully we're not seeing gas prices reversing direction.
When you leave a comment, be sure and give me your real email address. No one can see it but me. And I don't share it with anyone.
Twice recently I tried to send an email back to someone who left a comment and found the email address was not valid. Don't do that.
In the past I've posted artwork from my niece Stahlie who lives back in Alabama. And here's one of her latest pictures.
Her take on the recent Blood Moon.
I refer to her, and her sister Darby, as my nieces, but actually they're my First Cousins Once Removed. Since they're the daughter's of my first cousin, I always thought that they were my Second Cousin's, but apparently not. And so they're referred to as my nieces, and not my cousins.
Tomorrow, having given up on the Post Office finding our missing package at work, I'll be back on the phone with eBay and the sender to get us a refund on the machine.
Thought for the Day:
If you choose dishonor to avoid war; you shall have war also.
3 Responses to A First Cousin Once Removed . . .
Greg and Jan…glad yor back up and going. Hopefully no more interruptions. Tha pic in this blog is very good, but what is in her hands?
Our gas price Sam's was $1.729. Lasy Thursday. Others at or near $1.89 to $1.98.
Enjoy your European Cruise.
Jerr and Karen
So, I have to jump in – Stahlie & Darby are 2nd cousins to Chris & Brandi. Landon & Miss Piper would be 2nd cousins once removed. I could go on?

Rubber mulch has the reputation for being long-lasting and durable, and has been growing in popularity in recent years. It's especially popular as a ground cover for playgrounds because of its soft and springy bounce. But it has been gaining ground in the garden as well.
Rubber mulch is a recycled product, made of old tires that have been stripped of metal parts. Landscape experts tell our consumer-services research team that the mulch does not fade as fast as traditional wood mulch and won't float or blow away like many softwood mulches do during heavy rains or high winds.
Properly installed, rubber mulch requires little maintenance compared to wood mulch and can last for 10 years or more; wood mulch is generally replaced each year. It allows water and fertilizer applications to pass through to the soil. Rubber mulch also does not attract termites or carpenter ants like wood mulch does, which will protect your flowers, plants and home from the pests.
But it's not perfect. One negative is its price; it's quite a bit more expensive than other mulch products. But because it lasts significantly longer, you may see cost-saving benefits over the long haul.
Rubber mulch cannot be tilled into the soil; therefore weeding is usually done by hand. Rubber mulch also does not provide the nutrients or organic matter to soil that wood does when it decomposes. Rubber mulch must eventually be removed.
Laying down weed fabric before adding the mulch helps with preventing weeds and also ensures that the rubber doesn't get into the ground. Experts say it's extremely hard to remove it when it does.
