RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec 8 (Reuters) – Brazil's state-controlled oil company Petrobras could make more adjustments to its fuel pricing policy as a way to better fight fuel importers for market share, its executive manager for fuel sales said on Friday.
Guilherme Franca told Reuters in an interview that the company remains committed to its fuel pricing policy of closely following international price moves, but he added the company will continue to adjust the parameters used to calculate the international parity price.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA started to follow international oil prices in October 2016, but in June changed the frequency of its price changes to an almost daily basis as a way to better face competition from importers.
The company, which controls almost 100 percent of refining in Brazil, has lost market share on fuel sales, something that is hurting its results.
"We are learning every day new ways to operate under these new dynamics. Everybody is seeking alternatives to maximize results," he said.
Last week, Petrobras changed its parity calculation for diesel, saying importers had managed to cut costs with some logistics changes that were not being accounted for by Petrobras when it defines the price at which it sells diesel. With the change, Petrobras cut diesel prices at the refinery by 5.7 percent.
The company has also seen a surge in ethanol demand recently, due to lower prices for the biofuel compared to gasoline, which increased in price this year after a tax hike by the government and higher oil prices.
Brazilian diesel imports jumped 61 percent in 2017 through October. Petrobras diesel sales fell 10 percent in the third quarter, reducing its market share to 72 percent.

So Many Books
Brief reviews of mysteries, thrillers, and crime novels.
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
The Doll, by Taylor Stevens
The Vanessa/Michael Munroe series is outstanding -- smart, gritty, and thrilling. This isn't the book to begin the series with, however, as it pretty much demands a knowledge of Munroe's backstory. Munroe is abducted off the streets of Dallas and coerced into delivering a young minor celebrity to a horrific future. Failing to do so precisely as ordered could cost the life of anyone she holds dear. As Bradshaw seeks to loosen her shackles in the US, Munroe employs all of her ill-gotten skills.

Got Zucchini?
Blueberry Zucchini Bread
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups white sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups grated zucchini
1 pt. fresh blueberries
3 T. flour
3 T. butter
1/3 C. brown sugar
1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and soda together in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl.
4. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well.
5. Stir in zucchini until well combined.
6. Carefully fold in the blueberries, pour batter into prepared pans and place in the middle rack of oven.
8. Meanwhile, using a pastry cutter, combine flour, butter and brown sugar to resemble a course meal.
9. Halfway throught cooking time (about 30 minutes), sprinkle sugar mixture onto the bread & put back in the oven for another 20-30 minutes or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
10.Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool...if you can wait that long.
I've seen anything from strawberries, bananas or cranberries to nuts, coconut or chocolate chips in lieu of the blueberries. Use whatever sounds good or whatever you have on hand! The blueberries really were fabulous, though!

YUMMY!! I just made bread last night -- used a zucchini bread recipe, but put in shredded yellow squash instead. Tastes the same.

I saw that on your post...I don't know why I never considered yellow squash bread. It's basically the same as zucchini. Nice to know!

This looks great!
Here's another one to try if you want. It's called "Black Out Chocolate Zucchini Cake"
Make cake 1 day ahead so you can cool it in the fridge (even better the 2nd day).
1pkg devils food cake mix
1/4 C oil
3 eggs
1 1/4 C water
1 large pkg Chocolate Instant Pudding
1 pkg semi sweet chocolate chips
1 C zucchini peeled and grated
Mix all together, pour into pan and bake for 55 mins at 350 deg. F.

Two years ago I saw a trailer at GameStop for Until Dawn and I was intrigued with it. In other words, I needed that game in my life. There was just one small problem, I didn't own a PS4 and had not owned one of those systems since the PS2. I traded my PS2 in for a Xbox 360 after playing one of the Halo games. You can probably understand my sadness at that time. No money or birthday coming, so my option was to wait a really long time. I slowly started to forget about the possibility of getting it. Too much money was needed. So two long years passed and David gloated about his PS4 without knowing it bothered me. The games you could play with it that weren't meant for the Xbox. The possibilities of having one, the games I could complain about or love, and the reviews I could give, slowly passed away into a dream.
I went to David's house this past week for a party and right before we were going to play Cards Against Humanity, he places a box in front of me. I'm looking at everyone who is at the party, and David said that they had pitched in for it. I start to open it up and there before me is a PS4 with the Uncharted series and The Last Of Us. I've been given a lot of great gifts in my life, but only a few have pierced my heart, and left a memory. One of them being a FM Transmitter and now this. "How much was it?" That's what came out of my mouth first and the "free for you" scenario was played. I almost cried. This week meant a lot to me. I celebrated two years of living and now I had just gotten this gift that I've been wanting for so long. Every time I went to my GameStop, I would go to the PS4 section and look at the games, then write down the games to get, but also knowing that getting it was low. Every time I would go over there to the section, the guys who worked there would ask, "Did you get the system yet?" I would always respond with, "No, but maybe one day you guys will give me." You can figure out their response for yourself, but guys, I finally have a PS4! When I opened it up, I said, instantly, "WE NEED TO GO TO GAMESTOP TOMORROW!" When we did, I finally got it, I finally got the game I've been waiting so long for: Until Dawn.
Until Dawn reminded me of Harper's Island. Do you guys remember that show? The show basically was about these group of friends going back to the island for their friend's wedding, but each one is getting killed off one by one. Until Dawn is like this show, but better. It opens up with friends going back to this isolated, snowy, mountain after two of their friends died a year ago. In which it is stated later that the friend's that died (they were sisters) were never found. So the whole game is based around that aspect, but also other supernatural things.
I quickly learned that it's a hands on game, which means that when a scene comes up, you can't just watch, but you have to participate in it. Press triangle to duck or circle to jump. It was like that the whole game. You miss a button and they fall or something bad/horrible happens. Until Dawn also includes a phenomenal cast. With Hayden Panettiere from Heroes, Rami Malek from Mr. Robot and Peter Stormare from Fargo, and that's only a few of them to name. To put these people in this game was a brilliant idea.
I had only one problem with it. I'm not a fan of a game where you can't move the camera freely around a room to see what's there. You could only go so far with it, but it wasn't only that. The camera would stay in one place until you go down a hallway. Other then that, the game was great.
They give you a hint throughout the game that sometimes the best thing to do is to not do anything. Remember that if you're going to play it. There were options to hurt or kill or shoot at random moments at things, but you have to remember what I just said. REMEMBER IT! But I have some wise words for you, besides what I just wrote, I want you to remember these two words: Kill Emily. God, she was horrible! You're given options to either leave Emily to die or help Emily up. Leave her! Don't be kind to her! Eventually I killed her but it took a lot longer than I thought.
I was caught off guard with some of the game-play. You think you figured something out and think you're so smart, but what you figured out was really nothing. Back to square 1. The whole game was filled with horror, mystery, confusion, happiness when Emily died, suspense, and psychological events that messed with your mind. They even added supernatural forces to it so it can be more horrifying. One thing that you should know about this game besides to kill off Emily, and to not do anything at moments, is that when you get killed, there is no re-spawning. You just die and that's how the character ends. Then it will move on to the next character and it's up to you to help, or accidentally kill them. The game is also worth replaying and make sure you watch the ending. They do interviews with the remaining survivors that you chose.
As I end this review, I want you to remember that if you want Emily to die, you're not a bad person. She deserves it. So choose the right way and just do your best to save everyone besides Emily. DON'T SAVE HER! So go out and get the game! It's worth it!

I have checked your web page and see that the links on the page are linked from another form. I am not sure why did you link the other forms in a form when you can actually embed them (the application form and Business details form) on the page directly.
However, if you want to load the form on the same page, you may consider removing the text from the source code of the text field used to link the forms. Please see the screencast below that can help you with it.
Hope this information helps! Please get back to us if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help.

That's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! I didn't even think of that
target thing sometimes you just need some help I guess.
I have one more question.Is it possible to change the link for the submit
button? If not then is it possible to have a submit button in a hyperlinked
formed. Like if you go to my form you'll see some hyperlinks if one of
those hyperlinks can be to save the form that would be awesome. This way
the style would remain consistent across the form.
Thanks a lot for all your help.

PAXTON — It has been more than a year since the Paxton City Council agreed in principle to sell the city-owned airport to a private party.
Yet, despite months of discussions behind closed doors, the city and the prospective buyer, Atlantic Ag Aviation Inc. — a firm owned by David Hrupsa of Roper, N.C. — are no closer to finalizing a deal.
"It just takes time," Mayor Bill Ingold said Tuesday.
The latest hangup in selling the airport located on Illinois 9's north side actually has nothing to do with the airport itself, though. According to the mayor, the delay in selling the airport results from a delay in being able to also sell the city's long-closed landfill, located near the southwest corner of the Paxton Municipal Airport.
"One party wants to buy the landfill; one party wants to buy the airport," Ingold told aldermen during the city council's February meeting. "We want to make sure that the people buying the landfill are going to be able to access the airport ... and we want to make sure that nobody will be left in the lurch if the guy (buying) the landfill does something to disrupt the (ground) cover and, ya know, dig something in it that hasn't been done.
"We want to have all of our bases covered before we get that far."
Since December, the city has been awaiting word from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) on whether it will certify the landfill as having completed its post-closure care period. The landfill has been closed since 1991, yet the IEPA has repeatedly denied the city's application for the site to be certified for completion of post-closure care, said city engineer Mike Streff. Instead, the IEPA has been asking the city to do more monitoring of the site, Streff said.
Streff said that as of last month, he had received no response yet from the IEPA regarding the city's request to be released from its liability. The IEPA has 90 days from early December to respond, he said.
"They're so backlogged right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they asked for an extension to review what we've submitted," Streff said.
If the IEPA ends up issuing the certification, the city will no longer be required to monitor the landfill's groundwater, Streff said.
The landfill — and airport — could finally be sold, too.
Ingold said he has remained in regular contact with Hrupsa and the landfill's prospective buyer. Ingold said Hrupsa would "like to get going sooner than later" on buying the airport, but "he's OK" with the city doing what it needs to do first.
"We're all anxious to get it done," Ingold said.
Given the past year of delays, Alderman Mike Wilson asked City Attorney Marc Miller during last month's council meeting whether the city could sell the airport immediately — before the landfill situation is sorted out.
"It seems like this has been going on an awful long time," Wilson said.
"I'm not directly involved with those negotiations," Miller responded, "so I couldn't give you an answer. But we can get you an answer."
The council later met in closed session that same night to discuss the proposed land sales.
"I think further discussion on this needs to be held in executive session," Alderman Rob Steiger said before the discussion concluded in open session.
In February 2017, the council approved a letter of intent to sell the airport to Atlantic Ag Aviation Inc. for $100,000 in cash and a note for $50,000. Under the terms of the letter of intent, Hrupsa would be required to operate the property as a public airport according to applicable Federal Aviation Administration regulations for the next 30 years. Also, Hrupsa would continue to honor leases held by pilots using the airport's hangars.
The closing of the sale was initially expected to occur no later than May 31, 2017, following the expiration of an inspection period.
At the time, Paxton's tax-increment financing attorney, Dan Schuering, said the letter of intent was just "an agreement to agree" — but does not require the city or Hrupsa to follow through with the transaction.
Over the years, there were various aldermen on the council who wanted to see the airport closed because they felt it was a drain on city resources. Also, finding a fixed-base operator (FBO) was often a problem, and city employees needed to mow the grounds and pump fuel there.
Finding non-city funds to resurface the runway has been impossible, as well.
Ingold said that by privatizing the airport's operation, it would alleviate the burden on the city.
"Quite frankly, we've spent a lot of money out there and not gotten a lot of money back (as a result)," Ingold said last year.

The main aim to create clusters MySQL is to have redundancy - your hosting server and programs will run efficiently even if one hosting server goes down
Note: For better performance you should have a 3rd hosting server as a control node, but this can be closed down after the group begins. Also observe that closing down the control hosting server is not suggested (see the additional notices at the end of this paper for more information). You cannot run a MySQL Cluster with just two Hosting And have real redundancy.
It is possible to set up the group on two Devoted Web servers you will not get the capability to "kill" one hosting server and for the group to proceed at regular. For this you need a third hosting server operating the control node.
Now below I had given the example for three servers:
mysql1.domain.com - 192.168.0.1
mysql2.domain.com - 192.168.0.2
mysql3.domain.com - 192.168.0.3
Servers 1 and 2 will be the two that end up "clustered". This would be ideal for two servers behind a fill balancer or using circular robin the boy wonder DNS and is an excellent replace duplication. Server 3 needs to have only minimal changes created for it and does NOT need a MySQL set up. It can be a low-end device and can be undertaking other projects.
STAGE 1: Install MySQL on the first two servers:
Complete the following actions on both mysql1 and mysql2:
cd /usr/local/
Grouped mysql
Useradd -g mysql mysql
tar -zxvf mysql-max-4.1.9-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
Rm mysql-max-4.1.9-PC-Linux-gnu-i686. tar. gz
Ln -s mysql-max-4.1.9-PC-Linux-gnu-i686 mysql
CD mysql
Scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Chown -R primary .
Chown -R mysql data
Chgrp -R mysql .
Cup support-files/mysql. server /etc/rc.d/Inuit. d/
Chmod +x /etc/rc.d/Inuit. d/mysql. server
Chkconfig --add mysql. server
Do not begin MySQL yet.
STAGE 2: Install and set up the control server
You need the following details files from the bin/ of the mysql directory: ndb_mgm and ndb_mgmd. Obtain the whole mysql-max table and draw them out from the bin/ listing.
Mkdir /usr/src/mysql-MGM
CD /usr/src/mysql-MGM
tar -zxvf mysql-max-4.1.9-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz
Rm mysql-max-4.1.9-PC-Linux-gnu-i686. tar. gz
CD mysql-max-4.1.9-PC-Linux-gnu-i686
mv bin/ndb_mgm .
mv bin/ndb_mgmd .
chmod +x ndb_mg*
mv ndb_mg* /usr/bin/
rm -rf /usr/src/mysql-mgm
You now need to set up the config details declare this management:
mkdir /var/lib/mysql-cluster
cd /var/lib/mysql-cluster
vi [or emacs or any other editor] config.ini
Now, place the following (changing the pieces as indicated):
# Management Server
HostName=192.168.0.3 # the IP of THIS SERVER
# Storage space Engines
HostName=192.168.0.1 # the IP of the FIRST SERVER
DataDir= /var/lib/mysql-cluster
HostName=192.168.0.2 # the IP of the SECOND SERVER
# 2 MySQL Clients
# I individually keep this empty to allow fast changes of the mysql clients;
# you can get into the hostnames of the above two servers here. I recommend you don't.
Now, begin the control server:
This is the MySQL control hosting server, not control system. You should therefore not anticipate any outcome (we will begin the system later).
STAGE 3: Configure the storage/SQL servers and begin MySQL
On each of the two storage/SQL servers (192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2) get into the following (changing the pieces as appropriate):
vi /etc/my.cnf
Enter me to go to place method again and place this on both servers (changing the IP deal with to the IP of the control hosting server that you set up in level 2):
DB-connectstring=192. 168.0.3 # the IP of the MANAGEMENT (THIRD) SERVER
ndb-connectstring=192.168.0.3 # the IP of the MANAGMENT (THIRD) SERVER
Now, we create the detail listing and begin the storage engine:
mkdir /var/lib/mysql-cluster
cd /var/lib/mysql-cluster
/usr/local/mysql/bin/ndbd --initial
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql.server start
If you have done one hosting server now go returning to the begin of level 3 and do it again exactly the same process on the second hosting server.
Note: you should ONLY use --initial if you are either beginning from the beginning or have modified the config.ini details file on the control.
STAGE 4: Examine its working
You can now come back to the control hosting server (mysql3) and get into the control console:
Enter the control SHOW to see what is going on. A example outcome looks like this:
[root@mysql3 mysql-cluster]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/ndb_mgm
-- NDB Cluster -- Management Customer --
ndb_mgm> show

If you see
not linked, recognizing link from 192.168.0.[1/2/3]
in the first or last two collections they you have a issue. Please e-mail me with as much details as you can provide and I can try to discover out where you have gone incorrect and modify this HOWTO to fix it.
If you are OK to here it's about a chance to analyze MySQL. On either hosting server mysql1 or mysql2 get into the following commands: Remember that we have no primary security password yet.
use test;
CREATE TABLE ctest (i INT) ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER;
INSERT INTO ctest () VALUES (1);
SELECT * FROM ctest;
You should see 1 row came back (with the value 1).
If this performs,which will probably occur, go to the other hosting server and run the same SELECT and see what you get. Insert from that variety and go returning to variety 1 and see if it performs. If it performs then best wishes.
The last analyze is to destroy one hosting server to see what happens. If you have actual accessibility the device basically remove its system wire and see if the other hosting server keeps on going excellent (try the SELECT query). Fantastic have actual accessibility do the following:
ps aux | grep ndbd
You get an outcome like this:
root 5578 0.0 0.3 6220 1964 ? S 03:14 0:00 ndbd
root 5579 0.0 20.4 492072 102828 ? R 03:14 0:04 ndbd
root 23532 0.0 0.1 3680 684 pts/1 S 07:59 0:00 grep ndbd
In this situation neglect the control "grep ndbd" (the last line) but destroy the first two procedures by giving the control destroy -9 pid pid:
kill -9 5578 5579
Then try the select on the other hosting server. While you are at it run a SHOW control on the control node to see that the hosting server has passed away. To reboot it, just issue
Note: no --initial!
Further notices about setup
I recommend that you study all of this (and preserve this page). It will almost certainly preserve you a lot of looking.
The Management Server
I recommend that you do not quit the control hosting server once it has began. This is for several reasons:
* The hosting server might hardly need and take any hosting server resources
* If a group drops over, you want to be able to just ssh in and kind ndbd to statistic it. You will not want to begin playing around with another server
* You need the control hosting server up If you want to take backups
* The group log is sent to the control hosting server so to evaluate what is going on in the group or has occurred since last this is an essential tool
* All orders from the ndb_mgm client is sent to the control hosting server and thus no control orders without control hosting server.
* The control hosting server is needed in situation of group reconfiguration (crashed hosting server or system split). In the situation that it is not operating, "split-brain" situation will occur. The control hosting server mediation part is needed for this kind of installation to offer better mistake patience.

Consider the statistics. Approximately 50 percent of the world's population is female. Yet, the proportion of women in senior management roles is only 21 percent globally, while India reports a dismal 14 percent.
The responsibility of handling a home and raising children is often cited to explain these statistics, but Yahoo and Marissa Mayer have just laughed away that theory. Various studies have not established a clear correlation between the proportion of women in senior roles and the availability of flexible hours or work from home policies.
There are various cultural, social and economic reasons in India, that make it that much more difficult for women to breach the barrier; however there are still some areas that working women can work on to chart a leadership course.
Many young women managers struggle to strike the balance between being too assertive and risk being labeled as pushy, or retaining their empathetic selves and risk being treated as push-overs. Women also think long and hard about projecting the right office image, plain, nerdy and inconspicuous, or being noticeably dressy. The typical middle-class Indian working woman also does not hang around the television in the pantry watching cricket matches with the guys; neither does she spend Friday evening at the club building networks with bosses. While young male managers can attempt to follow the leadership styles of their chosen role models (almost always male), women managers usually lack role models at the workplace.They may look up to male leaders, but these role models are never adequate to help them navigate the challenges of female stereotypes!
Leadership coaches suggest several strategies for young women managers. Joining professional groups or associations is one of them. These settings give them a chance to find role models, as well as to try out different leadership styles in settings away from the office. Soliciting feedback from a trusted mentor at work on what behaviors they could improve on is also a good plan. In terms of office image, the key words are neatness and elegance. Dowdy clothes are a no-no, and so are dressy, glamorous ones. Women need to be noticed for the right reasons - doing background work and getting a name in a report as one among others will go only so far. There is no substitute for offering to take on additional responsibility that will give greater visibility to one's contribution, for volunteering to lead that important client presentation or for asking well-thought out questions at meetings.
We need to remember that we are in an age where women are taking the lead in some of the world's toughest economic and political environments. Christine Lagarde heads the International Monetary Fund. Angela Merkel is the key figure in solving the eurozone sovereign debt crisis. Maria das Gracas Foster is the first woman to run one of the world's top five oil companies, Petrobras. India boasts of women leaders like ChandaKocchar, IndraNooyi, KiranMazumdar… and the list goes on.
So ladies, perhaps some of the answer lies in us women gritting our teeth in the face of cultural compulsions and taking a measure of control over our own careers!

The Chinese module manufacturer says it is the sole supplier of modules to the two projects, which are expected to be located in Dunhuang city, Gansu Province and Qinghe County in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China.
According to a statement released, JinkoSolar will supply 18 MW of its modules to China Guangdong Nuclear, having signed an agreement on September 27. The manufacturer is scheduled to make the first delivery by October 25.
It has been said that China Guangdong Nuclear Engineering Co., Ltd. will provide the engineering, procurement and construction work for the project.
"JinkoSolar's obligation to supply the remaining 20 MW of PV modules is subject to the entry into of a separate supply agreement between both parties," explained the statement. A spokesperson for the company told pv magazine that the second phase is "currently being negotiated". They would not disclose the financial terms of either agreement, however.
The two photovoltaic power plants are said to be an "integral" part of China Guangdong Nuclears 128 MW project, which will reportedly stretch across Chinas Western provinces. Work on them is scheduled to begin in October, and should be completed by the end of the year.

RIPK1 gene
receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1
The information on this page was automatically extracted from online scientific databases.
From NCBI Gene:
This gene encodes a member of the receptor-interacting protein (RIP) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein plays a role in inflammation and cell death in response to tissue damage, pathogen recognition, and as part of developmental regulation. RIPK1/RIPK3 kinase-mediated necrosis is referred to as necroptosis. Genetic disruption of this gene in mice results in death shortly after birth. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
From UniProt:
Serine-threonine kinase which transduces inflammatory and cell-death signals (programmed necrosis) following death receptors ligation, activation of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), and DNA damage (PubMed:11101870, PubMed:17389591, PubMed:19524512, PubMed:19524513). Upon activation of TNFR1 by the TNF-alpha family cytokines, TRADD and TRAF2 are recruited to the receptor (PubMed:11101870, PubMed:17389591, PubMed:19524512, PubMed:19524513). Phosphorylates DAB2IP at 'Ser-728' in a TNF-alpha-dependent manner, and thereby activates the MAP3K5-JNK apoptotic cascade (PubMed:17389591). Ubiquitination by TRAF2 via 'Lys-63'-link chains acts as a critical enhancer of communication with downstream signal transducers in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the NF-kappa-B pathway, which in turn mediate downstream events including the activation of genes encoding inflammatory molecules (PubMed:15258597). Polyubiquitinated protein binds to IKBKG/NEMO, the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex, a critical event for NF-kappa-B activation. Interaction with other cellular RHIM-containing adapters initiates gene activation and cell death (PubMed:15258597). RIPK1 and RIPK3 association, in particular, forms a necrosis-inducing complex (PubMed:19524513, PubMed:19524512).

Fishing in Scotland - Introduction by Stewart Collingswood (founder and MD)
Since 2004 we have hosted thousands of guests from all over the world on fishing trips, corporate fishing events and mixed fishing and touring vacations in Scotland. We are an Orvis endorsed tour operator and fishing guiding company, based in Edinburgh.
Our passion for Scotland remains strong, and as well as running our business we like to think of ourselves as ambassadors for this wonderful country. If you've never been here, Scotland is a very friendly (and safe) country for guests to visit, and you'll find our people are genuine, helpful, passionate and enthusiastic.
I founded Alba 13 years ago. Disillusioned after running a software company, I took to the hills in search of inspiration, armed with a notebook and a few ideas, I wrote down everything I loved: fishing, photography, Scotland, beautiful locations, food, whisky, heritage, e-procurement, and tourism. Not an obvious combination, you might think, but it led to the formation of a new concept, a company delivering one of Scotland's most sought-after pursuits and one that embraces all the concepts sketched out 13 years ago on that hilltop.
When Alba Game Fishing started it was a bold move and it was 6 months before the business started to materialise. We pioneered a new type of fishing trip in Scotland. We complemented fishing days, vacations and trips and with good food, photography and a focus on customer service. We set out to offer the best of Scottish fishing from Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, Aberdeen, Inverness and the Scottish Highlands. This led to entertaining hundreds of groups from all over the world including the Poet Laureate, Open Golf winner Louis Oosthuizen, the South Africa rugby team and the CEO of Gazprom.
Typical Fishing Lunch Menu
- Boeuf bourguignon, Aberdeen Angus beef slow cooked in red wine with minted peas and sautéed organic potatoes
- Fragrant Thai red curry with Coconut, Lemongrass, Galangal, fresh lime, coriander and basil. Served with papads and steamed wild basmati rice.
- Wild Highland Venison with tangelo, cranberry and port reduction and served with steamed greens and potatoes.
- Borders organic shoulder of lamb slow cooked in Moroccan spices. Fresh tomatoes, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger and organic dried fruit. Served with couscous or basmati wild rice.
- Trout slow baked with Tuscan Olive oil organic lemon and bay leaf, fresh tomato salsa.
- Cullen Skink, traditional haddock chowder with undyed smoked Haddock, cream, parsley and organic potatoes.
- (Light bite) Fresh soups prepared in a Vita-Mix blender using 100% organic ingredients, served with Bruschetta on sourdough bread
To capture the memories of your trip, we invested heavily in quality camera gear. We use a full frame Nikon system with prime lenses, to capture peoples memories and experiences. If you choose this option we photograph your fishing trip, corporate fishing day or vacation, and share the images with you on Dropbox.
All the images you see on this website are original images from actual trips we have hosted. All images belong to Alba Game Fishing and cannot be reproduced without permission.


text: Michael Douglas won the Best Actor Oscar for his sly turn as uber-capitalist Gordon Gekko in 1987's Wall Street, but the majority of the film's running time was commandeered by Charlie Sheen as his gullible protégé Bud Fox. That timeshare worked for that picture, but with the 23-years-after-the-fact Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, it's no secret that we're all here for Douglas. But aside from a quick glimpse of him in the prologue, he doesn't return for a full half-hour, meaning that it's Shia LaBeouf calling the shots. He's passable as a financial whiz kid who's in love with Gordon's daughter (Carey Mulligan) but finds himself turning to her estranged dad to help take down a corporate nemesis (Josh Brolin). But it's Douglas' continuing commitment to his iconic role that sporadically gooses the proceedings, at least until a mawkish conclusion that resembles nothing so much as a Wall Street — and Wall Street — crash.

With a starting lineup that consists mostly of sophomores, the Laguna Beach High girls' volleyball team is young this season.
That's not an excuse for the Breakers, the top-ranked team in CIF Southern Section Division 3. But it does make the senior leadership the team does have all the more important.
Outside hitter Lexi McKeown, the only senior starter, fits that mold. She did so again on Wednesday night in leading the Breakers to a big win on their home court.
McKeown put away 23 kills and Laguna Beach beat Sage Hill in four sets, 25-23, 25-16, 23-25, 25-20, in a battle of Division 3 powers.
Sage Hill is ranked No. 4 in Division 3, and after the match both Breakers coach Shawn Patchell and Lightning coach Dan Thomassen expressed hope that the programs could meet again in the postseason.
For now, Wednesday's match provided a good reprieve from dominating league play, with the Breakers (11-5) and Lightning (16-8) both undefeated in the Orange Coast and Academy leagues, respectively.
"It was nice to get some real competition," said McKeown, who is committed to Florida State for beach volleyball. "They're a really good team, and we definitely stepped up to the plate against them … I definitely have to be more of leader this year. With such a young team, it's important to keep everyone focused on the game throughout the entire thing, not be distracted with outside things."
Sophomore opposite Piper Naess had 16 kills and three service aces for the winners, while fellow sophomore Soren Patchell chipped in eight kills. The team's other setter, sophomore Peri Brennan, had five kills and 25 assists.
McKeown had 10 digs for Laguna, which was led in that category by sophomore libero Hallie Carballo with 18. But, with Sage Hill senior setter Jade Blevins serving, the Breakers lost the first five points of the match. That seemed to set the trend, with Laguna Beach falling behind early in the set only to rally late.
"She's a good server, so she got us out of system," Shawn Patchell said of Blevins, who had 35 assists. "They started very well … Dan's a great coach, and I think it's just good to play good to play someone like Sage Hill to get ready for CIF. It kind of felt like a playoff match. It was exactly what we wanted when we scheduled them. We weren't great tonight, but I was happy that we grinded it out."
Juniors Amiyah De'Long and Sydnee Francis led the Lightning attack with 18 and 13 kills, respectively. Sage Hill refused to get swept, rallying from a 23-20 deficit in the third set. The Lightning won the last five points. Three kills from De'Long came in that stretch, including on set point.
The fourth set was tied as late as 19-19, but the Breakers won six of the last seven points.
"I loved the way we played in games three and four," Thomassen said. "Even though we made some mistakes, they were good mistakes. We just kept getting better at serving and passing, and scrapping for points. I've got to give a lot of credit to Laguna. They're really scrappy, they play good defense and they're smart volleyball players. I think both teams are hoping that we get to see each other late in the playoffs. That would be a really exciting match."
The Lightning know about being the top seed in Division 3. That's the spot they had last year, when they lost in the semifinals in five to Lakewood St. Joseph.
The Breakers, who moved down a division from Division 2, are now looking to hold that top seed this year. They play at Costa Mesa on Thursday in an Orange Coast League match, then travel to the SoCal Invitational tournament this weekend in San Diego.
Laguna Beach, which also starts a freshman in middle blocker Jackie Strawn, may be young. But the goal is clear.
"We're definitely going for that [CIF championship] ring this year," McKeown said.

Are Nescafe rewards worth it?
I've only just noticed the 'Redeem your Beans' thing on my coffee jar.
I've looked on the site and registered, but does anyone here do the rewards thing?
Is it possible to get the discounts/vouchers without being bombarded with junk or tied in to making more purchases?
Looked over on MSE and didn't see much about it there, though it was only a quick search.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

book blurb:
Ghosts of Tsavo
A paranormal detective refuses to let danger, death and unwanted suitors inconvenience her in colonial Kenya: Armed with Victorian etiquette, a fully loaded walking stick and a dead husband, Beatrice Knight arrives in colonial Kenya desperate for a pot of tea and a pinch of cinnamon. But she'll need more than that if she's to unravel the mystery of the Ghosts of Tsavo without being eaten in the process. She must endure all manner of inconveniences while surviving the machinations of her best friend's dashing godfather and the efforts of her safari guide to feed her to any lion willing to drag her away. What is a ghost-chasing widow to do?
My review:
This is a paranormal cozy mystery set in Africa during the Victorian times--not exactly my usual fare, but I enjoyed the paranormal bits, and I certainly didn't see the big twist coming near the end. In addition to the paranormal, the book offers lots of suspense and a strong female protagonist. I'm glad I decided to give this one a whirl.

|Increased investments in agricultural research could help lessen the
drudgery of work especially among women in many African countries
The total expenditure on agriculture -- the most important sector in reducing poverty -- was still under 10% of the GDP of many countries in West Africa. This despite the committment made by the countries under the Maputo Declaration of 2003.
As of 2007, out of the 11 countries in the region with available data, only four countries had met this target: Burkina Faso (15.8%), Mali (11%), Niger (15.4%) and Sénégal (14%).
However, IITA scientists were told, there had been a steady increase in funds set aside for agriculture since then, especially after the 2008 food crisis.
This was highlighted by Mbaye Yade, sub-Coordinator for the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS), while presenting the results of the first evaluation of the Comprehensive Africa Development Program (CCADP), a strategic framework to guide the development of the agricultural sector.
He also noted that there were positive changes in indicators such as a reduction in poverty incidence, poverty gap ratio, and undernourished ratio, as well as increases in per capita GDP.
ReSAKSS is a project implemented by the CGIAR centres in close collaboration with the Regional Economic Communities (RECs). It is supporting CAADP to put in place an M&E system and the Africa countries to define their agricultural programs and M& E.

10 Disney Channel Stars Who Are Bad Role Models For Kids
Over the years, we have seen a pattern of Disney stars going wild after leaving the channel. Sadly, young people still look up to these people, even after they shed their innocent past. These are 10 Disney Channel stars who are bad role models for kids.
One of the most controversial stars of the moment is YouTuber turned ex-Disney star, Jake Paul. The one time Vine star landed a gig on Disney's "Bizaardvark," and then lost it almost just as fast. How did he manage to do this? Watch the video to find out!
Another Disney alum kids shouldn't look up to is Bella Thorne. Sure, she's a talented actress, but that isn't enough to redeem her bad girl behavior. For some reason, after her contract with Disney was up, she did a complete 180. But, even if she dresses scantily clad, and has somewhat bizarre behavior, the fact that she's been spotted with Kourtney Kardashian's ex, Scott Disick, is probably the most concerning behavior of all.
We aren't going to lie, as adults, we happen to love Demi Lovato, but she does have past bad girl behavior. She may seem like an anti-bullying champion, but she has been accused of being a bully herself. An ex-classmate released a story of being bullied by the singer, and considering past professional behavior; we can't say we are surprised.

What Will We Leave Behind
A visit to the commemoration exhibit of the late singer, Yoo Jae-ha
이창현 firstname.lastname@example.com
|Copy URL / Share SNS
In Korea, there is a saying, "A hide is left when a tiger dies, and a name is left after a person's death." In reference to this quote about life, the "Us, Here Forever" exhibition, in commemoration of the 30th passing year of singer Yoo Jae-ha, gives us all something to think about while cherishing the legacy that the late singer left behind. Held at the Hanyang Museum, located next to the International Department building, the exhibition began on November 10th and is planned to last until June 30th, 2018. Open to all students and visitors, it operates from 10AM to 5PM on the third floor of the museum.
The exhibition is part of a project called, "The People of Hanyang", dedicated to celebrating and appreciating the people of Hanyang who had left their marks in the world. Yoo is the third person to receive this honor, following the late poet Park Mok-wol and Professor Lee Man-young. Park Mok-wol was an esteemed poet who left a myriad of verses committed to the depiction of nature and nostalgia, and Lee Manyoung was the very first Korean computer scientist.
The exhibition displays a number of Yoo Jae-ha's old items.
A corner is comprised of winners from the Yoo Jaeha Music Contest, each making their contributions in Yoo's memory.
The second part of the exhibition is dedicated to his afterlife, when his music received the most attention. A display illustrates the establishment of the Yoo Jae-ha Scholorship as well as the Yoo Jaeha Music Contest, created by his father and now led by his brother. The Yoo Jae-ha Music Contest has been held every year since 1989 and continues to seek out and support gifted musicians. A corner provides headphones where visitors can listen to a compilation track of winners from the contest, singing their own versions of songs written by Yoo to express their appreciation towards him. Furthermore, there are visual projections of Yoo's performance in a televised music program as well as clips of winners of the Yoo Jaeha Music Contest.
Through an interview with the Hanyang Museum curator, Choi Hyo-young, it was revealed that the piano, guitar, LP tracks, and photos of Yoo Jaeha were provided by his family through the Yoo Jae-ha Scholarship Committee. She expressed that the most difficult part of the exhibition preparation was the lack of available data and materials due to Yoo's short life and career, and the contributions made by his family were a great help in the process. She added that although Yoo's music was somewhat quiet and gloomy, he was a funny and energetic person in real life. She hopes that people can get to know more about Yoo as a person and is happy to see that the exhibition is drawing a regular number of visitors.
The street performance played a list of Yoo's well known tracks.
As a part of the promotion for the exhibition, a street performance, or busking, was held by music clubs of Hanyang, where students sang the songs of Yoo. It drew a large crowd despite the biting cold and was deemed meaningful to the audience as well as the performers. One of the performers, Kim Won-il (Clothing and Textile, 1st year), commented that although he had always liked Yoo as a singer, he was not aware that Yoo went to the same school as him. As a fellow Hanyang junior, he felt proud to have been given the opportunity to perform in his celebration.

Les Simpson: With friends like Editor & Publisher, who needs enemies?
Not that I want to start my tenure as president by picking a fight, but what the heck.
Someone has to fight for newspapers!
One of the tenets of SNPA's goals is to champion the industry. (You'll be hearing more about our strategic plan in the near future).
Among other things, in my mind, this includes challenging some of the misinformation and barrage of unfounded criticism that's lobbed about us and against us every day.
And we all know there's plenty of it.
That brings me to our "friends" at Editor & Publisher magazine, an organization that has covered newspapers for more than a century.
Last week, E&P sent many in our industry an e-mail with a link to a column. The subject line read: "E&P Exclusive: Newspapers Should Be Transparent About Their Financial Challenges." You can click here to read it.
It made some claims that the industry isn't being fully truthful about our finances with a few suggestions on how to do it better by someone who left newspapers a decade ago.
I crafted a reply – which you can read here – with the help of a few SNPA board colleagues. My thought was "Wouldn't 'Editor and Publisher' (emphasis added) like to hear the viewpoint of ... say ... a publisher?"
Boy, was I wrong. Oh, they offered to edit my submission for print and told me I could post my reply in the online comment section – we all know the value and validity given to comment sections – but they refused to provide similar billing for a counter opinion, even from the president of an organization that represents and works with many of their customers. The edited print reply wouldn't be published until November.
I have no problem with E&P publishing their "Exclusive." It's the author's opinion, albeit misguided.
But to downplay an opposing view from someone who works at a newspaper and plays a small role in representing our industry is mind-numbing.
To be fully transparent, here are excerpts of the correspondence I had with E&P Managing Editor Nu Yang:
Yang: "Thanks for the email, Les. I've edited your response to be included in our comments section in print, but you are more than welcome to post your entire response online by leaving a comment on the article."
Simpson: "Thanks, but I'm requesting a column, not something in the comments section. I'm not sure why you won't give equal treatment to an opposing opinion. If I had wanted it to run as a comment, I would have published it there already."
Yang: "I understand, Les. We welcome all opinions and discussion, but Tim is a regular contributor to our magazine, so he has that space every month. We just don't have the space to run your response as an additional column, so that's why I suggested we post it in our comments section instead. If you prefer that we don't run it, we won't."
Simpson (with maybe a little too much added punctuation by the author): "You don't have the space?!? It's the Internet! You have all the space in the world."
Yang: "Your response was a comment to one of our columns, so we chose to treat it as one. As you can see in several other responses to Tim's column, there are other opposing viewpoints published. You are free to leave your response online to Tim's article, but we can't run it as a column by itself. If you have any other questions, please let me know."
When I e-mailed Yang's boss, E&P Editor Jeff Fleming, he had already talked with Yang and supported her opinion.
I asked Fleming if we could talk on the phone about the issue. His response? Crickets. Zilch. Nada.
This isn't about ego. Trust me, this industry has humbled us long ago, me included.
It is about fighting for what we do and countering – not facilitating – the peanut gallery's unfounded criticism, comments and suggestions.
Too bad we can't depend on E&P to help us.

Clinical characterization of corneal features in Down's syndrome patients
Poster Details
First Author: A. Vega-Estrada SPAIN
Co Author(s): A. Osman P. Sanz Diez A. Kamal J. Alio
Abstract Details
To characterize the main features of the cornea in patients with Down syndrome.
Vissum, Alicante, Spain. Division of Ophthalmology, Miguel Hernández University, Alicante, Spain. Faculty of medicine, Cairo University, Egypt. Pediatric hospital, Genetic clinic, Egypt.
Prospective and multicentric study we included a total of 217 eyes of 110 patients with ages ranging from 60 to 1 year (mean age of 23.3 ± 13.8 years). All cases were divided into two groups according to the level of cooperation that had patients during eye examination. The cooperative group consisted in cases that underwent a full ocular examination, refraction, fundoscopic exam, topography, aberrometry examination and axial length measurement. The uncooperative group consisted in cases that who had a full ocular examination, refraction, fundoscopic exam but they were totally uncooperative to perform topography and aberrometry or axial length measurements.
123 cases from cooperative group and 94 cases from uncooperative group. 55 patients (50%) were men and two 55 patients (50%) women. The mean refractive spherical equivalent was -2.28±6.21 diopters. Mean keratometric values were 46.32±6.14 diopters in flat meridian and 49.63±8.05 diopters in steep meridian. Mean asphericity in a 4.5 mm diameter corneal area was -0.55±1.12, and mean asphericity in an 8.0 mm was -0.70±1.33. The axial length values were 24.97±1.98 mmHg. The intraocular pressure values were 14.64±3.20 mmHg. Analysis of coma-like corneal aberrometry showed 1.85±4.37 µm. In biomechanical data we observed CH = 9.95±0.91 and CRF = 8.75±1.62 mmHg.
BThe effect that the presence of this genetic alteration causes in each person varies widely. In these cases a high prevalence of corneal disorders were found. The study a corneal features of Down syndrome patients is very important to have a greater knowledge of the behavior of corneal collagen in these patients.

Emerging in to the light from a three-year tunnel of studying an MBA whilst working in a demanding full-time job inevitably begs the question "was it worth it?"
What did I sacrifice and what did I gain? Well I obviously I sacrificed any notion of holidays and a social life, but this simultaneously made it easier to save capital to invest. The real question is what value came from the MBA itself? Although an MBA from a Russell Group/Ivey League university is no longer the golden ticket it once was, it is still a useful trinket on one's CV. But the chorus asking "of what practical use is it?" steadily grows. A construction consultancy I worked in five years ago held MBA's in almost outright disdain as having no practical value whatsoever, not helped by the completely unjustified sense of superiority the holders of MBAs often had and the jaw-clenchingly cheesy MBA jargon they took delight in spouting. Despite this, I decided to pursue one because my first degree was a technical one and I thought having a broad spectrum of business theory could only help me as an investor.
First up was strategy, which I looked forward to because I thought it might give me some insight in to determining the companies with a durable competitive advantage. Despite many weeks exploring the depths of 'classical', 'evolutionary', 'processual' and 'systemic' strategy, I couldn't help feeling as though I had gained no advantage over Warren Buffet's excellent five minute explanation of strategy I had going in to the course.
Next up was International Business, a module I truly enjoyed because it explored the relative mechanics and merits of alternative political and economic systems. I also got to write an essay on the causes of the global financial crisis (which was not only fun, but gained me a superb mark!).
However, following this, it became a slog. Marketing was mildly interesting in the context of learning how to trigger an irrational desire within humans for something they do not need (the cornerstone of my holding in Coca-Cola), but I had already picked up everything I essentially needed to know about Finance, Operations, Organisational Behaviour and Supply Chain Management either through reading or through work. I can see why people might require an MBA if they have come from a purely technical or creative background, but I can't see how it produces an advantage to those who already have knowledge or experience of business.
I could not help thinking that much of the MBA is about conceptualising common sense. This may be a detrimental view. But then again as we all know, common sense is not that common…

For a while, we could never walk past our local shopping strip with Rémi. There's something about that string of shops that just sets him off. He would collapse on the ground, crying, every time.
This is typical of autistic kids. The psychologists at Western Autistic School, where the kids go to school, have talked about it. There's a routine that develops in the kids' heads, and they get upset when the routine is broken. Maybe we went into one of the shops one day and Rémi now wants to go into it every day. Or maybe it's the train boom gates at the bottom of the hill: he either gets upset that they're not on now, or he's upset that they are on and we're not taking the train. Who knows what's going on in his little head. At the time, the boy could barely ask for a cup of water whenever he was practically dying of thirst. He certainly wasn't about to explain to us why a walk past our neighbourhood fruit shop, milk bar and newsagent caused an insurmountable rage which could last over an hour.
With Rémi, this was typical behaviour. He loved trains, but he would scream and cry as though he was being tortured whenever we went on a train. He loved the school bus (an Australian rarity), but he would take an hour to recover from the daily post-school tantrum. Anne reckons it's because the bus has an automatic door which opens and closes like the doors of an elevator, and after his first or second day of school the driver opened/closed it twice to make Rémi happy, and he's been pining for the double open/close ever since.
The problem hit its peak during the first break from Rémi's first year of school. In Australia, the summer school holiday is only one month long and kids get three additional 2-week breaks throughout the year. Since I only get four weeks of holiday each year, the kids get more "staycations" than proper holidays. During the first such break, Anne found she was dealing with these tantrums on a daily basis. She couldn't stay home all day, but every outing lead to a tantrum.
Once, Gaston ran away while Anne was dealing with the crying, screaming wreck. Fortunately, instead of running across the busy street, Gaston had run into a hair salon and plopped himself down in one of the big hairdressing chairs with his big sticky ice cream. The hairdresser, a middle-aged gay man, tried to talk to Gaston. I think he must have seen Anne dealing with the situation just outside and thought he could help by keeping Gaston inside. It did help. I can just imagine the scene and I wish I'd been there to witness it: a grown man who has probably not spoken to a child in years, trying to talk to a non-verbal six-year-old who had walked right into his workplace. Hilarious, except for the drama unfolding outside.
When I'm with Rémi, I have a particular way of holding his hand which forces him to stand. It doesn't involve just pulling him up by the hand: that would break my back and probably pull his shoulder out of his socket. My method involves getting my right arm under his left armpit and using leverage to hoist him up by the hand and arm. It was slightly inspired by all my years of jiu jitsu (decades ago), but mostly inspired by the psychologists at Rémi's school highly recommending this "hand-holding" method. He'll still cry and scream, but he's forced to stand and to go where I go.
For a while, I used this technique to go on what I called "tantrum walks". Rémi and I would go for walks up and down the shopping strip, repeatedly, just to practise walking during his tantrums. With time, he would learn to cry and not collapse on the ground. Then I would step things up a notch by stopping or turning around while walking. He hates directional changes or changes in pace: the tantrum would escalate, but he'd have to walk or stand with me. As weeks passed, the tantrums subsided. With more time, so did the crying. We could eventually walk past the shops without a drama.
One day, I came home from work extra early (thanks boss, if you're reading this) to see what could be done about the daily after-school drama. To stop the bus tantrum, I made him stay on the footpath (=sidewalk) while the bus closed its door--his habit was to run up on our veranda and start crying as soon as the bus left. Breaking the routine by keeping him on the footpath seemed to hold off the crying for a little bit, then we went for a walk around the block when the crying eventually started. This seemed to hold off the big meltdown on that particular afternoon. Anne continued to break the bus-veranda-crying cycle by making him stay on the footpath over the days that followed. After a few weeks, the meltdowns stopped altogether.
With time, the anger dissipated. Over the months that followed, trips to the local grocery store stopped being dramatic and Rémi learned to enjoy train rides again. Tantrums got pushed to the end of the day, when he would flip out most nights around bedtime. With time, the nightly routine cheered up, too.
Anne has learned that she can't handle both boys without sacrificing her own health, little by little. We have signed up for something called "respite care". Normally, this would mean a government-funded babysitter. But Anne uses the service as an aide, an educational tool. With a helper, she can continue taking the boys on outings during the school holidays when I'm at work. Their last stay-at-home school holiday was relatively drama-free.
Tantrums seem like a thing of the past now: he has cheered up completely (provided we stay away from a couple of parks which he hates). I don't know if it's because of the work we had done, because of the work he does at school, or if he had merely gone through a difficult phase and he would have snapped out of it on his own without any intervention. All I know is that we can take the train, go to some parks and go to our local shops. And Rémi is a much happier boy than he was a year ago.

The Corrs-Radio [unplugged]
The Corrs - Breathless
What Are Firewalls
Firewalls are an integral part of any secure network. As we continue the discussion of the various security features and designs, it is important to take an in-depth look at how firewalls protect a network.
3 Part : 1 - Firewalls
2 - Types of Firewalls
3 - Positioning of Firewalls
- Logging and notification ability
- High-volume packet inspection
- Ease of configuration
- Device security and redundancy
Logging and Notification AbilityA firewall is not much good unless it has a good logging facility. Good logging not only allows network administrators to detect if attacks are being orchestrated against their networks, but it also lets them detect if what is considered normal traffic originating from trusted users is being used for ungainly purposes. Good logging allows network administrators to filter much information based on traffic tagging and get to the stuff that really matters very quickly. Obviously, good logging is different from logging everything that happens."Good logging" also refers to notification ability. Not only do you want the firewall to log the message, but you also want it to notify the administrator when alarm conditions are detected. Notification is often done by software that sorts through the log messages generated by the firewall device. Based on the criticality of the messages, the software generates notifications in the form of pages, e-mails, or other such means to notify a network administrator. The purpose of the notification is to let the administrator make a timely modification to either the configuration or the software image of the firewall itself to decrease the threat and impact of an attack or potential attack.
High-Volume Packet InspectionOne test of a firewall is its ability to inspect a large amount of network traffic against a configured set of rules without significantly degrading network performance. How much a firewall should be able to handle varies from network to network, but with today's demanding networks, a firewall should not become a bottleneck for the network it is sitting on. It is important to keep a firewall from becoming a bottleneck in a network because of its placement in the network. Firewalls are generally placed at the periphery of a network and are the only entry point into the network. Consequently, a slowdown at this critical place in the network can slow down the entire network.Various factors can affect the speed at which a firewall processes the data passing through it. Most of the limitations are in hardware processor speed and in the optimization of software code that keeps track of the connections being established through the firewall. Another limiting factor is the availability of the various types of interface cards on the firewall. A firewall that can support Gigabit Ethernet in a Gigabit Ethernet environment is obviously more useful than one that can only do Fast Ethernet in a faster network such as Gigabit Ethernet.One thing that often helps a firewall process traffic quickly is to offload some of the work to other software. This work includes notifications, URL filter-based access control, processing of firewall logs for filtering important information, and other such functions. These often-resource-intensive functions can take up a lot of the firewall's capacity and can slow it down.
Ease of ConfigurationEase of configuration includes the ability to set up the firewall quickly and to easily see configuration errors. Ease of configuration is very important in a firewall. The reason is that many network breaches that occur in spite of a firewall's being in place are not due to a bug in the firewall software or the underlying OS on which the firewall sits. They are due to an error in the firewall's configuration! Some of the "credit" for this goes to the person who configures the firewall. However, an easy-to-configure firewall mitigates many errors that might be produced in setting it up.It is important for a firewall to have a configuration utility that allows easy translation of the site security policy into the configuration. It is very useful to have a graphical representation of the network architecture as part of the configuration utility to avoid common configuration errors. Similarly, the terminology used in the configuration utility needs to be in synch with normally accepted security site topological nomenclature, such as DMZ zones, high-security zones, and low-security zones. Use of ambiguous terminology in the configuration utility can cause human error to creep in.Centralized administrative tools that allow for the simultaneous management of multiple security devices, including firewalls, are very useful for maintaining uniformly error-free configurations.
Device Security and RedundancyThe security of the firewall device itself is a critical component of the overall security that a firewall can provide to a network. A firewall that is insecure itself can easily allow intruders to break in and modify the configuration to allow further access into the network. There are two main areas where a firewall needs to have strength in order to avoid issues surrounding its own security:
- The security of the underlying operating system- If the firewall software runs on a separate operating system, the vulnerabilities of that operating system have the potential to become the vulnerabilities of the firewall itself. It is important to install the firewall software on an operating system known to be robust against network security threats and to keep patching the system regularly to fill any gaps that become known.
- Secure access to the firewall for administrative purposes- It is important for a firewall to have secure mechanisms available for allowing administrative access to it. Such methods can include encryption coupled with proper authentication mechanisms. Weakness in the implementation of such access mechanisms can allow the firewall to become an easy target for intrusions of various kinds.
An issue related to device security is the firewall's ability to have a redundant presence with another firewall in the network. Such redundancy allows the backup device to take up the operations of a faulty primary device. In the case of an attack on the primary device that leaves it nonoperational, redundancy also allows for continued operation of the network.
Types of FirewallsIn order to gain a thorough understanding of firewall technology, it is important to understand the various types of firewalls. These various types of firewalls provide more or less the same functions that were outlined earlier. However, their methods of doing so provide differentiation in terms of performance and level of security offered.The firewalls discussed in this section are divided into five categories based on the mechanism that each uses to provide firewall functionality:
- Circuit-level firewalls
- Proxy server firewalls
- Nonstateful packet filters
- Stateful packet filters
- Personal firewalls
Circuit-Level Firewalls
Proxy Server Firewalls
Nonstateful Packet Filters
Stateful Packet Filters
- Source and destination TCP and UDP port numbers
- TCP sequence numbering
- TCP flags
- TCP session state based on the RFCed TCP state machine
- UDP traffic tracking based on timers
Personal Firewalls
Positioning of Firewalls
- Topological location of the firewall- It is often a good idea to place a firewall on the periphery of a private network, as close to the final exit and initial entry point into the network as possible. The network includes any remote-access devices and VPN concentrators sitting on the its periphery. This allows the greatest number of devices on the private network to be protected by the firewall and also helps keep the boundary of the private and public network very clear. A network in which there is ambiguity as to what is public and what is private is a network waiting to be attacked.Certain situations might also warrant placing a firewall within a private network in addition to placing a firewall at the entry point. An example of such a situation is when a critical segment of the network, such as the segment housing the financial or HR servers, needs to be protected from the rest of the users on the private network.Also, in most cases firewalls should not be placed in parallel to other network devices such as routers. This can cause the firewall to be bypassed. You should also avoid any other additions to the network topology that can result in the firewall's getting bypassed.
- Accessibility and security zones- If there are servers that need to be accessed from the public network, such as Web servers, it is often a good idea to put them in a demilitarized zone (DMZ) built on the firewall rather than keep them inside the private network. The reason for this is that if these servers are on the internal network and the firewall has been asked to allow some level of access to these servers from the public network, this access opens a door for attackers. They can use this access to gain control of the servers or to stage attacks on the private network using the access holes created in the firewall. A DMZ allows publicly accessible servers to be placed in an area that is physically separate from the private network, forcing the attackers who have somehow gained control over these servers to go through the firewall again to gain access to the private network.
- Asymmetric routing- Most modern firewalls work on the concept of keeping state information for the connections made through them from the private network to the public network. This information is used to allow only the packets belonging to the legitimate connections back into the private network. Consequently, it is important that the exit and entry points of all traffic to and from the private network be through the same firewall. If this is not the case, a firewall may drop packets belonging to legitimate connections started from the internal network for which it has no state information. This scenario is known as asymmetric routing.
- Layering firewalls- In networks where a high degree of security is desired, often two or more firewalls can be deployed in series. If the first firewall fails, the second one can continue to function. This technique is often used as a safeguard against network attacks that exploit bugs in a firewall's software. If one firewall's software is vulnerable to an attack, hopefully the software of the second firewall sitting behind it will not be. Firewalls from different vendors are often used in these setups to ensure that one incorrect or compromised implementation can be backed up by the other vendor's implementation.

Apa itu " Kuasa Melayu "Posted by D-GATE at 5:18 AM
Bak kate Tuah ( Laksamana Hang Tuah pada zaman Kesultanan Melaka) "Takkan Melayu Hilang di Dunia"
Kata-kata negarawan terulung kita Tun Dr Mahathir " Melayu mudah lupe "
Tertarik aku dgn Utusan Malaysia keluaran 26 september 2010. " Kuasa melayu ". dengan panjang lebar dalam utusan. ( nak bace silakan Utusan Malaysia ).
Pada pemikiran aku yang biase2 je ni. Melayu memang takkan hilang didunia, tapi melayu mungkin akan hilang ape yang ade pada hari ini. Ape yang melayu ade pada hari ini adalah hanya ada KUASA. KUASA memerintah negara tercinta Malaysia. KUASA dalam menentukan hala tuju negara tercinta MALAYSIA.
Tapi tanpa disedari.Melayu mudah lupe dengan ape yang ade pada hari ini.Ape yang Melayu miliki pada hari ini. Apa yang Pemimpin melayu yang benar-benar jujur dalam memeperjuangkan KUASA dan HAK melayu.( Tak kesah la mane2 kumpulan pun)
Pada aku, PEMIMPIN Melayu skrg kene paham. Melayu tidak ade ape-ape selain KUASA. MELAYU tidak handal dalam ekonomi. Oleh itu perkasa kan Ekonomi melayu. Jagalah KUASA melayu yang ade sekarang ni, supaya tak di rampas oleh orang yang tak sepatutnye...Ade Paham. :)
Jangan bile dah terkena baru nak menyesal..... ni laa pendapat aku yang telah aku rumuskan.
Melayu takkan hilang,tapi kuase mungkin boleh hilang.

Sejauh mane keberkesanan Palo Alto ?
Ni definasi Palo Alto.
Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewalls provide network security by enabling enterprises to see and control applications, users, and content – not just ports, IP addresses, and packets – using three unique identification technologies: App-ID, User-ID, and Content-ID. These identification technologies, found in Palo Alto Networks' enterprise firewalls, enable enterprises to create business-relevant security policies – safely enabling organizations to adopt new applications, instead of the traditional "all-or-nothing" approach offered by traditional port-blocking firewalls used in many security infrastructures. ( http://www.paloaltonetworks.com/products/index.html )
Aku pernah pakai Palo Alto. Pada aku boleh diakatakakn user friendly laa...Senang gak nak kuar report. Tapi yang tak berkenan plak, bile masuk dalam environment network aku ade masalah lak.Box Palo Alto tu leh plak hang. Sape2 yang penah gune Palo Alto ni share2 skit. ok ke tak .Berkesan tak sebagai Firewall dalam network korang.
Ni keluarga Palo Alto.

Business ContinuityPosted by D-GATE at 4:54 AM
Selamat bertemu lagi..
Ape tu "Business Continuity" ?
Pada saya ia adalah suatu bende atau future plan yang perlu ade untuk mane2 organisasi di dunia ini.Ini adalah untuk memastikan kejayaan sesebuah organisasi tersebut.
Semua organisasi mempunyai data yang sangat penting.lebih-lebih lagi dalam bidang " Banking","Healthcare" dan sewaktun dgnnya.
Semua organisasi didunia ini terdedah pada risiko.Sekiranya bekalan elektrik terputus,Files corrup,disaster (disaster disebabkan manusia "human-made disaster" ) (Bencana alam "Natural Disaster") dan sewaktu dgnnye.
Oleh sebab itu penting gile business continuity ni.
