I'm just now getting around to posting yesterdays giveaway. We went on a strenuous (and beautiful) hike up Mt. Timpanogos all day yesterday. I thought I would have the energy to go through photos and post giveaway once we were home.. boy was I wrong. Daryl and I barely had the energy to take care of our energetic 2 year old and felt super old and weak, lol. I even ended up sleeping 13 straight hours last night and took a 1.5 hour nap this afternoon.
I will be posting more photos I took during our hike later this evening so look out for those -UPDATE: POST HERE-. These photos were taken mid hike at one of the water falls up Mt. Timpanogos via the Aspen Grove Trail. Last time I styled this camera bag I was all dolled up so I wanted to do a more casual look this time. Aside from a little bit of eye makeup I didn't get ready since I knew we would be gone for 10+ hours.
I styled my Bellbrook Camera Bag with this fabulous hoodie, leggings, and my old worn down nikes that have become my hiking shoes. Guys, I really need to invest in some nice hiking shoes for these sort of hikes.
Jo Totes is giving away a camera bag of WINNERS CHOICE!

The quantification of probabilistic uncertainties in the outputs of physical, biological, and social systems governed by partial differential equations with random inputs require, in practice, the discretization of those equations. Stochastic finite element methods refer to an extensive class of algorithms for the approximate solution of partial differential equations having random input data, for which spatial discretization is effected by a finite element method. Fully discrete approximations require further discretization with respect to solution dependences on the random variables. For this purpose several approaches have been developed, including intrusive approaches such as stochastic Galerkin methods, for which the physical and probabilistic degrees of freedom are coupled, and non-intrusive approaches such as stochastic sampling and interpolatory-type stochastic collocation methods, for which the physical and probabilistic degrees of freedom are uncoupled. All these method classes are surveyed in this article, including some novel recent developments. Details about the construction of the various algorithms and about theoretical error estimates and complexity analyses of the algorithms are provided. Throughout, numerical examples are used to illustrate the theoretical results and to provide further insights into the methodologies.

If the Queen of Hearts became the arbiter of all cyber security failings, would we be in a poorer state than we are now? At least there would be decisive action, all be it potentially fatal, one people are likely to heed! But in all seriousness, are we at the stage where some form of appointed legislative body should investigate the perilous business of cyber security? Maybe it is time for individuals to be held accountable, rather than permitting farcical public resignations of senior executives to mitigate the bad news, focusing the blame elsewhere. After the initial shock of the exposed systemic failures and an organisation's attempts to 'come clean' regarding the actual quantum of the breach or data loss, who should be held accountable? The CSO? The CEO? The entire board? Opinions differ, but all have been cited as probable candidates, either through negligence or ignorance, conscious or otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that balancing cost and budget is no mean feat and often constraints prevent all but critical vulnerabilities being fixed in a timely fashion. In my opinion, the head of OPM deserved to go, for the arrogance of knowing the security failings of her enterprise and not bothering to raise the flag, combined with the pure ignorance of consciously not understanding the level of risk attributed to her organisation's computer systems. At best, it could be said that conscious ignorance ultimately led to her demise.
This and other high profile breaches should stand as a warning. Business leaders don't need to delve into the nitty gritty of cyber security, but the risk attributed to business activities by their ICT, and the impact, must be understood not ignored, especially where it's being raised as a concern, time after time. Equally, mad scrambling, pushed down usually from the very top, after a competitor is breached makes no sense economically. It's an inefficient, kneejerk reaction that costs many times more in terms of resource, time and disruption than a planned programme of risk-based assessment, upgrade and enhancement.
Picking back up the stick of culpability, who within the security community believes that an individual who possesses a macro view of their organisation at best, could solely be held to account for such a detrimental loss of sensitive information? I'm relatively convinced that in many of the breaches, there are senior IT and security managers making odorous squeaks whilst moping their brows thinking, "Sheesh! Close call..." Of course, not all seniors got away with it, ask the CIO of Target! In the future, I doubt it'll remain the same, so it'll definitely be in all our interests to know that we've got our houses in order and offered appropriate and timely advice to our respective leaders, perhaps to the point that the board signs off that they have read and understood the risks, as they are presented.
I've been around a few blocks, hit by a few blocks and indeed built things with a few blocks, but I understand that in this ever moving, ever evolving world of ours, it takes an awful lot of time, resource and money to manage an enterprise's risk profile, with ICT risks being only one of many juggled at board level. But, I'll bet, that as far as risks go, there aren't many that are quite as 'juicy' and eventually open to both the public and media's scrutiny. There's nothing like the loss of credit card information or personal sensitive data to get a mob stirred up! I'm still amazed, neigh dumbfounded, that large organisations spend a fortune on traditional controls (fences, guards, CCTV etc.) and yet, computer security is still seen as an expensive, complicated process. For many traditional organisations I don't think the computer has evolved, it's still seen to be a replacement for the calculator, physical mail and the typewriter (for the younger generation, that's a mechanical device that helped write letters!). If you want to work out how critical computers are, work out whether business as usual can be conducted without the use of one – I'm struggling to think of many examples! Whilst I'm on a soapbox, let's not forget the Human Factor! People are and will remain the weakest link in all security processes and without investment in training creating awareness, many organisations will remain at risk of unconscious ignorance.

This year at Stone Mill we are talking about how important it is to have a growth mindset when it comes to learning and being our best! The concept of growth mindset began a number of years ago from research conducted by Stanford University professor, Dr. Carol Dweck. Her research showed that our intelligence is not fixed and that challenges, making mistakes and celebrating those mistakes are some of the best ways that our brain can grow throughout our lives. Here are ways that you can help encourage a growth mindset at home!


Study: GM Soy Dangerous for Newborns?
[2011 Oct] Monsanto is secretly poisoning the population with Roundup When Dr. Irina Ermakova came to her office, the meaning of the charred remains of papers on her desk was unambiguous -- it was yet another attempt to intimidate or punish her. So was the theft of samples from her laboratory, and the continuous verbal attacks by biotech advocates. Her crime? She fed rats genetically modified Roundup Ready soy, and reported the results. Those results were clearly not what the sellers of GM soy wanted us to hear. After female rats were fed GM soy, more than half their babies died within three weeks. The rat pups were also considerably smaller, and in a later experiment, were unable to reproduce. Offspring from mothers fed non-GM soybeans, on the other hand, died at only a 10% rate, and were able to mate successfully.

Craig's image is used on the website and he stars in a tv commercial. The video was directed by award winning German director Sebastian Strasser, and the photo of Craig was taken by Rankin, the celebrity photographer also known for his SPECTRE Behind the Scenes photos.
In the commercial, Daniel Craig is wearing an Army Green Rag & Bone Standard Issue 'Avery' Shawl Collar Cardigan with an Army Green Brunello Cucinelli Contrast-Tipped Cotton Sweater underneath (thanks to @WhatsDanielWearing and @LegallyBond).
The commercial is dubbed in German. The video starts with a house on a lake in the mountains that is reminiscent of Mr White's house in SPECTRE.
Craig's phone rings and he picks up the phone with "Craig".
It's his "favourite manager" who asks him is everything is well. "Quite well", Craig replies, while he browses the programs on his large flat screen tv.
His manager continues to tell him about a perfect movie offer, where he will battle a fierce enemy, meet a mysterious beauty, and save the world. What does he think? Craig replies that it sounds tempting, but he has had a better offer (referring to his Vodafone GigaTV).
It's rare that Daniel Craig appears in a commercial. Even during the time of a Bond film, he only appears in a few tv commercials, for example the ad campaign for Heineken in 2015. As a brand ambassador for watch brand Omega, Craig appears in print ads.

Selling my Hofmann 4.0T scissor with in-built lift platforms these lift high enough to do a FWD clutch should you need to. The main platforms I had extended about 8 years back to accomodate LWB sprinters etc platforms now measure 4.83m (see in the 2nd pic) in-built platforms are 1.56m closed and 1.89m extended. I had rails added at the same time for a jacking beam but never used them, personally I would remove them before re-fitting.

Michelle Povinelli (born 1975) is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southern California (USC) and Fellow of the OSA and SPIE. Povinelli's research in nanophotonics focuses on the behavior of light inside complex materials.

Povinelli completed her doctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2004, followed by a postdoc on Stanford University from 2004 to 2008. She became a professor at USC in 2008. In 2010, Povinelli was awarded a Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. She was appointed to a full professorship in 2018.

Education and career
Povinelli received her bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Chicago and masters in physics from the University of Cambridge, both in 1998. She completed a Ph.D. in physics titled Characteristics of defect modes, slow light, and disorder in photonic crystals at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2004, with John Joannopoulos as her advisor. Povinelli was a postdoc at Stanford in the Gintzon Laboratory under a L'Oreal For Women in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship from 2004 to 2008. She joined the University of Southern California (USC) in 2008 under the Gabilan Assistant Professorship in the Women in Science and Engineering program.

Povinelli received two research awards in 2010: the National Science Foundation Career Award and an Army Research Office Young Investigator Award. Povinelli became a Fellow of the Optical Society of America in 2016 for contributions to the theory and application of light forces in optical nanostructures and for "the understanding and realization of nanostructures for solar energy conversion". In 2018, Povinelli was promoted to a full professorship at USC. That year, she and Lorraine Turcotte organised the Women in Science and Engineering Research Horizons Symposium following an anonymous donation of $20 million towards increasing gender diversity in science at USC.

Research
Povinelli's research is primarily in nanophotonics, focusing on the behavior of light as it moves through devices like solar cells and optical chips.

An early branch of research undertaken by Povinelli involved using laser beams to trap and assemble two-dimensional nano-structures - hundreds at a time - for creation of new materials and chemical filters. Unlike optical traps consisting of free-space laser beams, Povinelli patterned a silicon wafer with holes to create a photonic crystal, each hole 300 nm in diameter. Particles are then moved into the holes to form a square crystal lattice.

Povinelli predicted and proved that light could exert a force when guided through silicon strip waveguides, which was shown to move a nearby strip. Such methods are useful for optical circuits and re-routing of signals. Another prediction of Povinelli is increased solar cell efficiency when incorporating nanostructures.

Working with Northrop Grumman, Povinelli developed a new material able to self-regulate the temperature of satellites made of a mixture of silicon and vanadium dioxide. To combat temperature variations of over 200 degrees Fahrenheit without relying on physical shutters or heat pipes that consume large amounts of power, the phase change behaviour of vanadium dioxide is used instead. At low temperatures it acts as an insulator, and at high temperatures it is a conductor which radiates heat. With a 20 fold improvement in temperature management, this research may have applications in maintaining building temperatures.

In 2019 it was announced that the research group of Povinelli will work in the Breakthrough Starshot project, towards a proof-of-concept demonstration of ultra-fast light-driven nanocrafts. This is work towards the first launch to Alpha Centauri, led by a consortium of scientists such as Steven Chu, Mae Jemison, and Martin Rees. Povinelli is working towards the light sail portion based on research on thermal regulation.

Modern Fiat 500 Jolly will cost you $89k
Custom built beach vehicles were never so awesome than the late '1950s Fiat 500 Jolly and it looks like we can have now the modern alternative.
The original Fiat Cinquecento (500) Jolly was one of those cute weird cars back in the late 1950s, reserved for summer days with clean skies. It was made by Ghia between 57′ and 64′ and back then, it was a very expensive car for its size and purpose as it was aimed for rich customers looking for a fun holiday ride to their exclusive seaside resort.
And now today, where a company named Jollycar is bringing back the Fiat 500 Jolly, offering the modern equivalent of Ghia's holiday commuter. Based on the new 500, the Jolly version has no roof, no doors, lots of wood and seats made out of bamboo. And for that rare summer rains, you can always put up its cute tent over the cabin.
The new Fiat 500 Jolly is available globally according to the company and can be custom made according to the buyer's demands. Of course that's something you should expect from a vehicle that starts from $89,000. Chopping a vehicle's chassis safely is a delicate work and should justify some of the price.
This is a toy car for the rich to enjoy their vacations even more, just like its classic version did but that doesn't take away anything from its cuteness.

[David Ignatius] Shanahan's departure ill-timed
By David Ignatius
President Trump has a credibility problem at a time when his confrontation with Iran is moving toward a dangerous test.
"There is no capital in the bank" in terms of trust with major European and Asian allies, said one former senior defense official. "We've managed to isolate ourselves, rather than Iran. This is a strategy-free zone."
Adding to the sense of vertigo surrounding US defense policy was the withdrawal Tuesday of Patrick Shanahan as Trump's selection for defense secretary. The nominal reason was a nearly decade-old domestic abuse case involving Shanahan's son and ex-wife, but the larger issue was Trump's waffling support of the acting secretary, whom he kept dangling for five months before announcing a lukewarm nomination last month that was never actually submitted to the Senate.
Shanahan's departure will increase uncertainty at the Pentagon at a moment of significant potential military risk. Allied jitters are likely to expand, too, with Monday's announcement that the US is sending 1,000 additional troops to the Persian Gulf.
Global skepticism about Trump's Iran policy, more broadly, was so intense last week that some key allies initially demurred when Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Tehran of attacking two tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Foreign capitals seemed more scared of the threat posed by Trump than Iran to peace and stability in the Gulf. Those doubts appeared to be easing slightly Tuesday, as German Chancellor Angela Merkel said there was "strong evidence" of an Iranian role in the tanker attacks.
But there's still a vast trust gap, abroad and at home. A president who has repeatedly insulted major allies and denounced US intelligence agencies is finding that his words have devalued what should be America's best weapons for containing Iran. Incredibly, given Iranian intransigence and meddling in the region, many traditional friends of America view Washington as the problem these days.
The Iran crisis deepened further Monday as Tehran announced that in 10 days it would exceed the limits on uranium enrichment set by the 2015 nuclear agreement. Trump's ability to enforce those limits through diplomacy is virtually nil, because the US withdrew from the agreement last year when Iran was in full compliance.
The administration's strategy (so to speak) has been to assume European nations would cajole Iran to keep abiding by the agreement, even as the administration shredded the pact and imposed punishing sanctions to obtain a new, tougher deal. Against Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign, Iran has begun moving since early May toward maximum resistance, including deniable attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf, perhaps hoping to scare the Europeans into demanding concessions from Trump.
Trump's Iran credibility problem stems partly from the fact that he has been pushing for a confrontation since before becoming president, without ever articulating a clear strategy for an endgame, short of regime change or war.
The roots of Trump's Iran fixation go back at least three years and feature some players who later became prominent in the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into the Trump campaign's solicitation of Russian help in the 2016 election. It's worth reviewing this history briefly, to explain why so many allies are fearful about a march toward war with Iran.
The intermediary who organized early discussions with the Trump team about taking a harder stand against Iran was George Nader, a Lebanese American who advised Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates, who with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman favored a much tougher US policy against Tehran.
The key discussions about stiffening pressure against Iran came in December 2016, after Trump's election, in a meeting at the Four Seasons in New York. Attending that conversation, in addition to Nader, were Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, soon to become national security adviser, chief strategist and senior adviser, respectively, in the Trump White House. (The meeting was described to me by a source close to one of the participants.)
Trump moved to fulfill his campaign rhetoric about discarding the nuclear agreement soon after taking office. This breach was opposed by Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and European allies. Trump ignored these warnings and announced US withdrawal in May 2018. Months after the withdrawal, intelligence officials testified Iran was complying with the deal.
Trump sought to calm war fever on Tuesday by telling Time magazine that last week's tanker attacks were "very minor" and that it was a "question mark" whether he would take military action to protect other tankers.
The real question mark in foreign capitals these days is what Trump's Iran policy really is.
