Dementia of the Alzheimer's type is considered to be one of the most terrible neurodegenerative disorders of amnesic nature. It affects over 5.4 million targets per annum in the only United States of America alone. What's worse? It is described as irreversible and progressive because of its gradual nature of deterioration of cognitive functions. From an episodic loss of memory, sufferers experience a persistent decline in procedural memory in which everyday tasks such as eating, drinking, washing oneself and relationships are completely forgotten. All these have negative impacts on suffers' lives, their well being in particular. Nothing is as mind disturbing as the fact that the disease is irreversible and cannot be cured. However, it can be prevented and managed when it occurs.
Alzheimer's is generally known as the disease of old age. It shows up, usually, after age 60. Genes, medical science claims, are mainly responsible for the occurrence of this disease, however, as helpless as the situation sounds, it can be prevented, made to appear relatively late in worse cases. So what can be done to attempt its prevention or health management?
There are foods that are healthy for brain health; they are referred to as superfoods because of how essential they are. They are particularly nourishing to the brain cells. What are some of these foods? Blueberries and walnuts! They prevent Alzheimer's disease. Blueberries are bursting with anti-oxidants, and walnuts have some amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. A regular consumption of blueberries and walnuts has been proven to be highly beneficial in reducing brain-related conditions, Alzheimer's disease in particular.
Getting enough sunshine, enhances the production of more vitamin D which is essential to protect you from a number of neuro-immune and neurodegenerative disorders.
Exercise is necessary for the overall well being of the body and brain. It keeps the brain healthy and active.
What are you doing to develop yourself and relate with others? Are you reading, writing, in an intellectual community forum, learning to play a sport, a musical instrument or a new language, or taking up some tasks that keep you thinking? It may even be seemingly unimportant activities such as playing chess, scrabble, a puzzle, and other games that demand some high-level cognitive functions. All these will help you keep Alzheimer's disease away. Get busy!
Smoking heavily over a period of time exposes one to the risk of having dementia of the Alzheimer's type. A tobacco-free individual is one with a better cardiovascular health which ensures sufficient blood supply to the brain. This blood supply to the brain ensures an adequate amount of oxygen and other significant nutrients. And there you go, a healthy brain, free from the Alzheimer's disease.
Ayurvedic herbs such as brahmi, jatamansi, shankhpushpi, guggulu, gotu kola, ashwagandha, and turmeric effectively combat ADHD, memory problems, and cholesterol. These herbs promote neuron growth, improve intelligence, and sharpen memory. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are effective in combating amnesia, dementia, and other brain conditions.
There are a number of Chinese regimens that have neuroprotective and antioxidant properties. One of them is Huperzine A, a Chinese medicine that is highly essential in improving memory and enhancing learning. Polygalaceae (the root of Polygala tenuifolia) is another essential Chinese herb that is superb for treating amnesia and forgetfulness. Another is gingko biloba which combats the causes of dementia due to its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.
Ketones, a powerful brain food, is present in coconut oil. Did you know that coconut oil contains healthy fats which are essential in rebuilding the lining of nerves and improving the brain communication? This excellently improves the brain function and has been proven effective for people suffering from dementia and related conditions.
The entire group of vitamin B is undeniably beneficial in preventing dementia; and for those whose genes make it impossible for them to avoid it, the vitamin B family delays dementia in such persons. Vitamin E is also brain-friendly — it prevents memory loss. These vitamins can either be taken via supplements or by consuming vitamin B, vitamin D, and vitamin E enriched diet.
Omega 3 fatty acids present in seafood fight dementia. You can be sure to prevent Alzheimer's disease by consuming adequate minerals.
A well functioning immune system ensures that microglial cells in the brain function smoothly. This, definitely, delays the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
Yoga and other exercises are essential to keep a healthy and well-functioning brain. These practices, along with the consumption of gluten and simple carb-free diet enhance the memory. What else? Other healthy practices such as getting sufficient and sound sleep are also essential, as stress is responsible for the deterioration of brain functions. And because yoga and meditation relieve the body of stress, they are reliable for preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Each day, thousands of American families are affected by the disease.
Every 3.2 seconds, a new case of dementia occurs somewhere in the world.
Alzheimer's is projected to cripple America's healthcare system.
People who have Alzheimer's disease need others to care for them, and many of those providing care are not paid for their time and services.
Every 65 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer's.
By mid-century, someone in America will develop the disease every 33 seconds.
Not less than 46.8 million people all over the world are believed to be living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. By 2030, there may be an increase to nearly 74.7 million. By 2050, rates could exceed 131.5 million.
Over 15 million Americans provide unpaid care for someone with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. These caregivers are usually immediate family members or friends and other relatives. Caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease has a negative impact on the employment, income, health, and financial security of many caregivers.
Alzheimer's is the only leading cause of death that is still on the rise.
Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death across all ages in the United States. For people who are 65 years old or above, it is the fifth-leading cause of death.
Alzheimer's disease is the only major cause of death that increased from 2009 to 2010, while other major causes of death declined.
If Alzheimer`s is a form of dementia, what then are others?
Dementia can be split into two groups, based on the part of the brain that is affected. Let`s take a look at this.
Cortical dementias happen as a result of problems in the cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain. People with these types of dementia usually have drastic memory loss and find it difficult to remember words or understand language. Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are forms of cortical dementia.
Subcortical dementias occur because of problems in the parts of the brain beneath the cortex. People who suffer subcortical dementias show changes in their thinking speed and ability to perform certain tasks. Ordinarily, people with subcortical dementia don't have forgetfulness and language problems.

Luna should be giving birth in the next 5 days or so. She is a first time mom here so I can't wait to see what she produces. She is a Netherland Dwarf and she was bred to my English Angora.
Choco-latte gave birth to 7 beautiful babies on Saturday.
Well, Autumn gave birth to 7 babies last night. This is her first litter here so I am excited to see what she brings to our lines here. Luna, my Netherland Dwarf, is preparing a nest as well. She spent half the night ripping her fur out. Choco-latte is also running around here gathering goods to build a nest with, although I don't expect any babies from her for a few more weeks. As of now, there are still 11 babies from the last 2 litters available. They will be 5 weeks old on Monday, May 21. I am letting them go to their new homes this weekend.
One of Pipsqueak's babies went to her new home today. That leaves only 11 babies left.
The Black Tort and the chocolate with the white spot on her head and nose have been sold/reserved. That leaves 12 bunnies available.
I have had several people come to reserve their bunny already. If you are interested in any of my available buns, I highly encourage you to either come and put a deposit or contact me for other arrangements.


THE chairman of the Chiltern Centre for disabled children may have to brush up on his supermarket slogans after an embarrassing blunder at the charity's annual meeting.
Paul Barrett urged shoppers at the Henley branch of Waitrose to support the centre using the supermarket's "community matters" scheme, which sees customers put a green token in to one of three pots corresponding to a local charity or community group.
At the end of the month, the pot with the most tokens will see that charity receive a donation of up to £1,000 from the company.
While asking locals to support the Chiltern Centre pot, Mr Barrett said: "Every little helps", before being reminded that this is the well-known slogan of supermarket rival Tesco.
On last check the Chiltern Centre pot seemed to have a healthy collection of tokens, so Mr Barrett may have gotten away with his slip of the tongue.

Avadina Hills by Anantara reveals design details
8 March 2021• Projects
Minor International has unveiled the ultra-luxury design of Avadina Hills by Anantara, its resort-branded residences in Phuket.
Located on the exclusive Millionaire's Mile overlooking Layan beach, the boutique development balances elegant Japanese symmetry with Phuket's lush tropical environs to offer an alluring indoor-outdoor lifestyle for owners and residents. Nestled on a verdant, secluded hillside overlooking Bang Tao Bay, Avadina Hills by Anantara features 11 ultra-luxury villas ranging from 2,642 to 3,373 square metres in built-up area.
The architecture and interiors are inspired by the Japanese heritage of co-developer Kajima, as well as a shared passion for the simplicity and natural beauty of island life. Symmetry and balance define the architecture, with each space offering effortless indoor-outdoor living.
Upon arrival, a manicured drive leads to a modern statement entrance and a lush garden. A grand staircase descends to a spacious terrace, revealing sweeping views of the Andaman Sea.
The ground floor is divided between a dining room with a ten-seater solid wood dining table and modern show kitchen; and a spacious lounge on the other side. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows open fully to reveal uninterrupted views and create a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Materials like granite floors and teak ceilings enhance each villa's integration with nature. The sizeable all-weather terrace features a 21-metre infinity pool, a covered sala and stunning ocean vistas. Both upper- and ground-floor master suites, as well as all guest suites, are elegantly finished, with a private terrace overlooking the sea.
In each villa, one or two unfitted lower floors provide a customisable expansion space, which can be tailored to suit individual needs, whether for additional guest suites, a private study, spa, cinema, gym or wine cellar.
Complementing the architecture, the interiors are a nod to luxury contemporary island living where style and functionality are harmoniously aligned. Each residence is fully furnished yet flexible, with clean lines, a vibrant colour palette and an array of natural materials including wood, bronze, bamboo and stone. Carefully selected furniture is in keeping with the aesthetic: symmetrical lines are punctuated by ocean-inspired colours and warm earth tones. True to Anantara's brand promise of indigenous discovery, artwork and decorative accessories vary by villa to reflect the region's culture and natural beauty while giving each residence a unique look.
Embraced by a rainforest canopy, each villa is set on a forested slope at varying heights. The landscape design showcases a balance of natural preservation, privacy and views. Lush greenery merges with the sea; the infinity-edged pool and granite tiles create a symphony of textures and colours; tropical plants and natural foliage grow side-by-side, blending each residence into the site's contours and respecting its botanical diversity. Each villa is separated by a private garden to allow residents seclusion and full enjoyment of outdoor living. As much as possible, existing trees have been preserved, creating a visual frame that is unique to each villa, while accenting the views over the Andaman Sea.
Avadina Hills by Anantara is the second branded residential project under Anantara, Minor International's luxury hospitality brand, in Phuket. Minor International's real estate portfolio currently comprises nine branded residential developments in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the UAE under the Anantara, Four Seasons and St. Regis brands.

Make the Most of your Microsoft Investment –Logitech Inc.
Up to this point I've resisted writing about last week's Skype outage, simply because I found it hard to see clear security implications. I could see no solid evidence that the outage was caused by malicious activity. It simply looked like a glitch in Skype's back-end machinery that was triggered by a botched Microsoft patch rollout.
Sure, people have been frustrated by the outage, especially in the blogosphere. But much of what I read looked more like groans of the inconvenienced than fears that bigger security issues were involved.
But in the final analysis, I think this incident does illustrate the kind of trouble we could see in the future at the hands of malicious people, so it's time to add my two cents to the bigger discussion.
Skype's immensely popular Internet phone service crashed on Aug. 16 and stayed that way for two or three days. The folks at Skype posted a message on the company's blog blaming the outage on a botched deployment of some Microsoft patches.
A lot of Skype users didn't buy that, of course, and Arak came back with a blog post clarifying the official Skype position.
The second Skype posting wasn't enough to satisfy tech blogger Ben Metcalfe, who wrote that the official explanation has too many holes for his liking.
1. Microsoft has released monthly security updates since January 2004.
2. There were three critical MS patches in July, and four critical in June.
3. Only four August critical patches included a mandatory reboot.
4. Critical patch MS07-044 for the code execution issue in Excel needs no reboot.
5. Critical patch MS07-050 for the VML issue needs a reboot only if files are in use.
6. SecurityLab.ru released a public Skype Network Remote DoS Exploit on Aug 17.
7. There was a new Skype for Windows version 3.5.0.214 out on Aug 17.
8. A lot of home users go to Microsoft Update on Tuesday, not Thursday.
Regardless of how this outage occurred, there's a bigger lesson to be had. We've written many stories in the last three years about the dangers of VoIP technology, and the lesson is usually that IT shops are rushing this technology into use without considering the security implications.
Former White House cybersecurity advisor Howard Schmidt expressed those concerns when I interviewed him for a podcast earlier this year, and SANS Institute Training and Certification Director Stephen Northcutt admits organizations like his must do more to train people in the art of VoIP security.
VoIP security was also a dominant issue at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The bottom line is that VoIP security has to be top of mind now in any corporate IT operation. The Skype outage may not have been the work of an attacker, but I'm sure the bad guys were inspired by the public outcry that ensued. That inspiration could lead to more sinister activity going forward.


I recently re-realized that there is a beautiful carousel in the Park and we took the opportunity to feel like little kids again! And although I look rather serious in this photo, trust me that there were plenty of other laughing my head off ones!
Then on the way home, we stumbled upon this AMAZING field of yellow flowers. It reminded me exactly why I love Golden Gate Park so much, there are unexpected and beautiful things around every corner!
Dress: (indefinitely) borrowed from sister. Boots: Sam Edelman (similar and fun pair here).
This is definitely one of those dresses I love enjoying on sunny weekends because it's so airy and fun. And should I need to dress it up, I can quickly put on a pair of heels to make it formal again.
I'm curious as to whether many of you non-Bay Area people have ever visited San Francisco before?!

A coupled global aerosol–carbon–climate model is applied to assess the impacts of aerosol physical climate change on the land ecosystem services gross primary productivity (GPP) and net primary productivity (NPP) in the 1996–2005 period. Aerosol impacts are quantified on an annual mean basis relative to the hypothetical aerosol-free world in 1996–2005, the global climate state in the absence of the historical rise in aerosol pollution. We examine the separate and combined roles of fast feedbacks associated with the land and slow feedbacks associated with the ocean. We consider all fossil fuel, biofuel and biomass burning aerosol emission sources as anthropogenic. The effective radiative forcing for aerosol–radiation interactions is −0.44 W m−2 and aerosol–cloud interactions is −1.64 W m−2. Aerosols cool and dry the global climate system by −0.8 °C and −0.08 mm per day relative to the aerosol-free world. Without aerosol pollution, human-induced global warming since the preindustrial would have already exceeded the 1.5 °C aspirational limit set in the Paris Agreement by the 1996–2005 decade. Aerosol climate impacts on the global average land ecosystem services are small due to large opposite sign effects in the tropical and boreal biomes. Aerosol slow feedbacks associated with the ocean strongly dominate impacts in the Amazon and North American Boreal. Aerosol cooling of the Amazon by −1.2 °C drives NPP increases of 8% or +0.76 ± 0.61 PgC per year, a 5–10 times larger impact than estimates of diffuse radiation fertilization by biomass burning aerosol in this region. The North American Boreal suffers GPP and NPP decreases of 35% due to aerosol-induced cooling and drying (−1.6 °C, −0.14 mm per day). Aerosol–land feedbacks play a larger role in the eastern US and Central Africa. Our study identifies an eco-climate teleconnection in the polluted earth system: the rise of the northern hemisphere mid-latitude reflective aerosol pollution layer causes long range cooling that protects Amazon NPP by 8% and suppresses boreal NPP by 35%.


DB2 pureXML stores XML in "true hierarchical format." Based on all the discussion of indexing, I'm guessing that the way it does this is somewhat similar to that in MarkLogic.
Unlike MarkLogic, DB2 pureXML gives you the choice of what tags to index on.
In a big difference from Marklogic, text search on DB2 pureXML involves two separate indexes – XML and text (the latter being of the usual inverted-list variety). You can text-search both contents and tags, with the usual CONTAINS semantics.
PureXML has a data store separate from the rest of DB2's, notwithstanding IBM's references to XML "columns." DB2's general datatype extensibility framework is not used; I don't wholly understand why.
I neglected to ask how well DB2 backup, management tools, and so on extend to DB2 pureXML.
You can talk to DB2 pureXML via two data manipulation languages: SQL/XML, and XQuery. Both are compiled down to the same run-time instructions. IBM said there's an abstraction layer sitting over both the relational store and the XML store that allows for this I don't totally understand what that means, since presumably the SQL/XML starts out by being sent to DB2's parser.
A big part of IBM's XML business strategy is to support various (typically vertical market) XML standards. IBM has implemented support for these standards and made it freely downloadable. What does "support" mean? It surely starts with a DTD (Document Type Definition), and apparently also includes mappings to generic web services interfaces. It turns out that there are a lot of them, so I'm listing some in a separate post.
When XML was going to be used anyway. One big example of this is the case of the standards-based industry data interchanges. Another example is when pureXML, albeit disk-based, acts as a kind of quasi-cache or mini-MDM hub (Master Data Management) for WebSphere-based enterprise application integration (EAI). IBM reports that DB2 pureXML has been sold as an intermediate EAI data store at least once each in banking, retailing, health care, and insurance.
When schema flexibility is of great importance.
Experience teaches me that schema flexibility is a subject that can attract considerable flames, in the general vein of "Omigod! The relational model is perfect because it's mathematically proven to ensure referential integrity!!" So I'll split out the main discussion of that into yet another separate post, and keep going.
Transactional. This comprises the transactional logging of information that just happens to be XML, such as in financial services.
Forms-oriented. This comprises, for example, the tax authority use case.
Service bus acceleration. That's a fancy phrase to cover both the standards-based interchanges and the other EAI-related uses.
Event-driven data warehousing. This one was kind of blurry to me. What I think it means is that if you have transactional data in XML, and you want to use it in near-real-time business intelligence, DB2 pureXML can help you with that.
#1, 3, and 4 seem to fit into my "When XML was going to be used anyway" category. Part of "Schema flexibility" matches #2; I'm not clear on where in IBM's four buckets the rest of schema flexibility goes.
Finally, I asked directly in what areas there were significant numbers of DB2 pureXML customers. IBM offered two examples. One was financial services in general — especially in North America, notwithstanding the importance of the UNIFI standard in Europe. The other was health care data interchange outside the United States — especially in China, where regional and national centers are being established to more closely oversee local hospitals.
IBM kindly gave me permission to make available the slide presentation from our August 29 briefing. The last page has a large number of links to further IBM pureXML resources.
Conor O'Mahony has a good blog.
As noted above, I am putting up separate posts on standards-based data interchange and schema flexibility.
The reason that IBM did not use DB2's general datatype extensibility framework is because we decided not to simply "extend" our existing infrastructure to support XML like many vendors did. Instead, we spent 5 years developing XML-specific infrastructure from the ground up.
IBM essentially has traditional relational infrastructure and XML infrastructure in the physical layer. It then has a unified runtime execution layer above this which, for the most part, "hides" the physical storage considerations. This unified execution runtime layer provides the data manipulation and retrieval languages. (I say "for the most part" because there are certain physical storage settings that you want to be able to configure). All the management tooling, including backup/restore, utilities, and high availability are supported for XML data.
DB2's parser handles both SQL (and its extensions for XML) as well as native XQuery, and translates them into a common set of instructions. Of course, this is different to some relational vendors who translate XQuery into SQL.
When one uses an object-relational/extensible DBMS's extensibility, one is indeed still banging data into rows somewhere. That's why Oracle and DB2 put text into BLOBs/CLOBs, for example.
I guess what I'm missing is this — where does DB2's datatype extensibility fail? What unacceptable overhead does it impose in the case of XML?
I've gotten the message that I used to overrate datatype extensibility like Oracle's, DB2's, and Informix/Illustra's. What I haven't figured out yet, however, is WHY I was wrong.
LOL, maybe you just weren't wrong…?


Episode 2: Help! I Need a Good Doctor!
So, I really liked the OB/GYN I had gone to. I felt cared for, and listened to, and the next day I even wrote her a thank you note. I felt like I'd found my medical home, female-wise at any rate. The biopsy came back about a week later and it was negative for cancer, always good news. My new doctor and I talked for about twenty minutes about my options -one of which included Uterine Artery Embolization. She gave me the name of a place near her office that does this type of work, and suggested I talk to an Interventional Radiologist before I make a final decision. And, whatever I do, if I could let her know she'd really appreciate it.
I made the call. I got transferred to three different people before the office manager came on the line to tell me that, no, not only do they not do UAEs, but they have NEVER done UAEs. So I call the doctor's office back, get the office manager, and she tells me that well, maybe this other place has one, and UCLA has one. But she's not giving me any kind of referral (the bane of having a PPO instead of an HMO. I guess the Motion Picture HMO spoiled me, sigh).
So I back away from the phone and think some more. People make mistakes, I'm aware of that. But this mistake is kind of a big one. And do I want a doctor that makes mistakes because they didn't do their homework? What if they make a mistake while in surgery? Or while prescribing hormones or something for me?
I'm not in any kind of an emergency situation, so time passes as I dither think about my options, and suddenly it's time to see my GI doc.
This is the same doctor that did my colonoscopy two years ago – and when he comes into the patient room, I remember that I really like him. He's got a big smile and a hearty handshake, and he listens to my entire tale before telling me not to worry. That the bleeding in my stool is most likely from the hemerroids (sp) caused by the fibroids (the trigger that started this whole drama). Unless things change down the road, he doesn't want to see me for another three years and I'm happy to oblige, lol. He also told me to take a fiber supplement -one dose a day for the rest of my life. He says its like a miracle drug for all Gastro-Intestinal docs, and he's been doing it for 20 years. So I'm now taking the generic equivalent of Benefiber each day.
So then, I started poking around on the internet. Found a highly respected doctor, fairly local (but then, anything within 50 miles is local in the Los Angeles area), with major expertise in removing fibroids without removing the uterus. Even big fibroids. Bingo! I checked him out thoroughly and made the call to get a consultation.
The pleasant person who answered the call barely heard me describe my symptoms before she told me, in a firm voice, that the doctor doesn't take any insurance and it's $250 to $450 to walk in his office door and talk to him. (After checking the website again, I see that you have to put up 20% of the cost of surgery prior to having it.) I put the phone down, once again confounded by doctors.
I wasted time did some more careful thinking about my options. I still hate the way I look and feel. More friends talked to me about how great they felt after their hysterectomy (after they healed, that is).
Finally I hit up the internet one more time, searched out several doctors, and found one closer than the other one. I filled out an online "consultation form"; and two days later, at ten o'clock on a Friday night, that surgeon emailed me back. He assured me that his office takes my insurance, and encouraged me to set up an appointment, which I did.
He drew pictures, gave me and my husband a straightforward view of how it all happens, as well as possible complications. He was warm, intelligent, caring, and spent quite a long time with us going over other options but in the end, I chose to have a TAH – Total Abdominal Hysterectomy – leaving in the ovaries.
This is a man I trust. This is a man who cares, who answers email from a stranger at ten pm on a Friday night, who spent time talking to my husband as well as to me.
On a high note, when I asked my nurse neighbors about this doctor, they both gave him a two-thumbs up (they work at my local hospital, and this doctor sometimes does surgeries there as well). Gee…I really should have asked them for doctor referrals earlier in my doctor search, but I didn't think of it. Who better than nurses to give referrals to doctors?
Surgery is scheduled for August 7, 2012. I want to be as healthy as possible going into surgery, so I'm walking, eating healthy, and giving myself ballet classes (well I was until I sprained my ankle); I'm taking iron supplements (patients tend to lose 2 points in iron during abdominal surgery – I'm at an 11, over 12 is normal, he wants me at a 13); I'm also taking calcium and fish oil, but I have to stop the fish oil ten days prior to surgery (it's a blood thinner, did you know?).
So that's the story. The takeaways? 1. ALWAYS see the proper doctor for the proper thing. 2. DO YOUR HOMEWORK when searching for doctors – ask friends, neighbors, nurses for referrals. 3. TAKE YOUR TIME if you can before deciding on any procedures. and 4. TAKE A FRIEND/LOVER with you to any important doctor appointments. They will often be thinking clearer than you and will both ask important questions, and remember the answers afterwards.
My next book, DEMON HUNT, comes out either July 15 or August 1st, so I have promo to do for that.
I'll also be hitting up RWA's Annual Conference in Anaheim at the end of July, then back to work for a week of getting Important Stuff Done; then I'll go out on disability and have surgery. During recovery, I'm going to be a writing fiend, as I won't really feel like moving much. Middle of September? Back to work. Middle of October? Start giving myself ballet classes again to get into shape. A busy summer/fall!
Thanks so much for stopping by! There's a Midsummer Blog Hop tomorrow, and on Friday I return with a Wine Blog – sorry about the absence of that feature! Cheers all, and remember to Drink Responsibly!

Sorry you got the run-around but glad you did find someone you can talk with and who comes highly recommended from friends. That's always a plus in my book. Sounds like you are in for a busy few months but I'm sure you'll feel a ton better after this is taken care of.
Thanks, Roben. I'm counting on feeling better, you know? lol!
Christine, I had this same surgery and was on my feet in days, sitting up the next morning. Just take a ton of short walks all day long. I really think you'll have a successful operation and a quick return to normality. Love ya!
Tanya, I'm using you as my role model! Tons of short walks. To the bathroom, to the wine bottle…lol!
Sarah, most doctors are wonderful. Well, most of my doctors have been wonderful. But like in any profession, there's a range of knowledge/experience/manner from doctor to doctor that must be taken into account.
And I'll bet you'll be more health-diligent in the future!
If you really like your gyno, I wouldn't hold that mistake against her too much. Between medical practices changing what they do, and insurance companies and practices ending their various contracts – now this one DOES take Aetna, but not Blue Cross, or vice versa – keeping up with who does what is a nightmare.
When I had my own colonscopy a few years back, I got the referral from my primary care, verified with the insurance co. that the doctor I was going to see was covered. Then it turned out that HE was covered, but the facility next door where he performed the procedure wasn't. Had to fight with 'em on that one, but they eventually covered it.
It sounds like you are on the right track, for you. Will look forward to lifting a glass to your speedy recovery.
Oh, Christine! I bet you feel so relieved to have made the best decision for yourself, and to have found a super doctor. I will be sending you loads of positive thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery!
So sorry you have had such a rough time. The stress alone would put me out of commission. Your strength and determination to find the best treatment amazes me. If I'm ever sick, I want you by my side because I know you would tell me to keep my chin up and to keep on going when I'd rather hide in a closet. Can't wait to see you at National's. BTW – How's the ankle??
ROFL Roz…luckily the ankle is MUCH better. I still need to be careful – no fancy kung-fu moves for me!
Sounds like a nightmare of a journey to get to the right answers. I'm so glad you finely found the right doctor who will give you the treatment you're comfortable with. That is oh-so important.
I will also be in Anaheim and hoping we get a chance to connect while we're there!
Connie, absolutely! I think we need a CMP author get-together at the bar, what do you think?
I'm so glad you found a doctor that gave you time, information, and made you feel good. Best of luck on your surgery, and I hoope you'll feel so much better!
Sorry that you'll have to go the abdominal route but glad that you're finally on track to getting it all taken care of. Boy your early 50's are starting to sound pretty much like my early 40's – two major surgeries in 18 months – but it really was so much better after it was all over.
Now you just have to stop falling down!
So you don't feel all alone there too, I took a major forward momentum fall at my niece's wedding earlier this month taking out my 80 year old mother too. Both of us pretty bruised and battered still but at least neither of us broke anything. Ain't getting old fun?
Aw, thanks hon! Yeah, I'm done with this part of my 50s. Done. Ready to move on and get healthy again. Maybe we can meet for coffee or something in late August?
Finding doctors can be so frustrating! You simply have to persist, and you did. I had a complete hysterectomy in 2010, chose to take out ovaries too, b/c there is ovarian cancer in the family, and I have been so happy with my decision. Except for a stubborn 15 pounds that's hanging on, but that's probably because I write more than I exercise. 🙂 Working on that now. Good luck!
Oh Diana, I hear you on that stubborn 15 pounds. Right now, I've convinced myself those pounds are all in my uterus, lol! I'm sure after surgery I'll be quite disappointed that I'm not 50 pounds lighter. Oh well…that's why I'm working slowly to get back in shape now. So it theoretically should be easier to recover.
Thanks, Brinda, you're a peach! Yeah, I was shocked – apparently some doctors are so "Big" that they take only the people who can afford them. Pffft. Whatever. Makes me grateful for those doctors that do take insurance!
I know it isn't easy to find the right doctor. Persistence is the key. Glad you've got it all set up now. Wishing you good health in the future and an easy recovery.

A perennial problem of gardeners everywhere, slugs and snails can wreak havoc with vegetables and leaves etc in gardens. Despite being very slow-moving creatures, they are of the 'slow but steady' nature and can travel a large enough area to get right round most gardens and allotments. Although basically harmless, many people find these pests singularly disgusting and I must declare I am one of those people too! Although slugs and snails hold no fear for me whatsoever, I find their slimy nature abhorrent and I hate the feel of them if I pick one up.
Creating a physical barrier that the slugs cannot traverse or really dislike traversing.
Using materials that act as a repellent – usually harmless but enough to discourage a slug from proceeding through the repellent.
Using materials that kill the slugs outright – many find this distasteful or unnecessary and only used as a last resort.
You may be surprised to learn that 95% of slugs in a garden will be below the surface -we only see 5% of the population at any one time. There are literally hundreds of slugs in a couple of cubic metres of soil! Not all slug species are detrimental to garden plants, instead eating mostly rotting vegetation and thereby actually performing a useful ecological function.
If You Have Slugs Inside the Home..
Then it's definitely time to act to get rid of them. Nobody would ever want to live with waking up to slugs or snails or their silvery trails all over the kitchen floor in the morning; God forbid you should stand on one in bare feet! Yuk! If you do ever get slugs inside, often they will be found in parts of the home that are darker, more damp and cooler. Prime locations will be on the floor beneath sinks or around dishwashers etc. If there is damp being caused be a leaking pipe or something else that is fixable, then stopping the leak and therefore the damp, may be sufficient to make the place less favourable to the slugs and they will go elsewhere.
As stated earlier, there are numerous DIY methods for slug and snail control but when they are in the home it is important to try and work out where exactly they are gaining entry and to concentrate efforts there.
Slugs can elongate their bodies to an astonishing degree and squeeze through gaps that might seem to small for them, so it is important to inspect suspected entry points thoroughly bearing in mind that a very small gap under a door or cracks in stone/brickwork can be enough for them to pass through. A very common point of entry are the exterior air vents that punctuate the perimeter's of houses and flats. I've found vents sometimes totally blocked up with various plaster or cement filler products – this should never be done! The vents are there for an important function; they allow the building to breathe and aerate. Blocking vents can lead to damp homes and damp can cause structural problems as well as respiratory problems because of molds etc that thrive in damp conditions.
I imagine people figured they would reduce heat loss/draughts by filling in vents. Also, vents can be where rodents gain entry too, so perhaps people who've suffered with rat or mice infestations felt they needed to block the vents to get rid of the rodents. In cases both of slugs and rodents, the vents should be proofed not blocked. This means in practice the fitting of some kind of screen that continues to allow air through, but does not allow the pests through! A fine grade of steel mesh, cut to the shape of the vent, fixed across the face of the vent, will create a solid long-term barrier. Depending on what building materials surround the vent, screws, wire, clips and glue can all be used to fix the mesh to the vent. It need not be Fort Knox, as a pest will be put off trying to enter there and will go elsewhere.
Creating a border right round the perimeter of the building is ideal. It acts as a wall the slugs won't want to cross. It's important to know the life-span of the repellent material. Some chemical or organic methods may deteriorate in a couple of weeks, other methods may last longer.
If you want to ensure that your slug problem is properly dealt with, contact a local professional pest control technician. They will have custom-made products that really work well, and after having inspected your building, they will be able to correctly target repellents, offer advice on other measures (such as leaking pipes or open vents) and often also offer the service of actually carrying out building proofing work. Take the disgust and effort out of slug control and get a professional to do it properly.
Most people will have heard of tried and tested methods of killing slugs and snails but I have decided to leave them out of this article, as many find these methods to potentially be very cruel and unnecessary. The effort involved in killing them is no less than the effort of repelling them and as long as people can successfully keep slugs away from the areas they wish, killing creatures when it is not absolutely necessary is a step to far for this author, especially when the pest is beneficial in the right environment. In pest control, certainly these days, killing pests is often a last resort and often totally unnecessary. All pest require food and water and shelter of some kind. Most of the time when there is a pest infestation, be it rodents, birds or insects, there are numerous measures that when taken, remove one or more of the requirements of the pest and the pest will no longer thrive there.

I am a freelance graphic/website designer with experience in 3d modeling as well. I love to illustrate different kind of styles, but mostly I adore designing with my own bright colors palette and funny graphics.
This is one of my Creation Kits where buyers could easily create their own monsters & characters with.


I created an (VM) DC with Server 2016 Technical preview 4, Also reproduced this error on my production (VM) DC server 2012 r2.
I created an test user on server 2016, after first login no problem with roaming profile, even when i am sign out and sign in. Still no problem.
When i restart the Windows 10 VM, i got this message after sign in.
Translation "There was a problem with your roaming profile you have been logged on with your previously saved local profile. Please see the event log for details or contact your administrators."
Got the same problem when i create a another test user on our production DC server 2012 R2, with new roaming profile location to another server.
DETAIL - the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. "
Anyone else with same problem?
Same result, This must be a problem in Windows 10 related to roaming profile v6.
Found a workaround, if i wait a couple of minutes before login, I dont see this error.
If i login directly after restart the roaming profile issue will occurs.
Network is connected correctly without exclamation mark if i will login directly.
Didn't test this on a physical PC, only on VM.
Somewhere between Win7 and Win10 the behaviour changed such that file locks, including those for a roaming profile user, were not closed immediately but kept open for a while in case they were needed again. If the machine is shutting down, the shutdown can pull the rug from under the network stack before the handles get closed properly, and the machine can shutdown leaving the ntuser.dat and other profile files open (these being the last files in use on the server on logoff).
If the user tries to log on before the server has timed these connections out and closed the files, they can get a file in use error and windows logs them on with a temporary profile instead.
Using SMB 2.1 or 3 on the server where the profiles are stored helps. It doesn't solve it completely, but the server will try to contact the original owner of the lock, and if there is no response it clears the lock and gives the new client access. The timeout on contacting the original owner is shorter than the login profile timeout, so the effect is slow login rather than a temporary profile.
Advise users to log off rather than shutdown or restart. In our testing, it's only 10 seconds or so that the machine needs to stay up for before the handles are closed, and that makes it much rarer.
Shorten the time before the server closes connections that are idle.
Downgrade either the clients, or the server where the profiles are stored, to only speak SMB1. This avoids the whole problem of file handles persisting, but has other downsides.
The other solution is to have a windows service that monitors whether a roaming user is logged on, and keeps that flag set for 30 seconds or so after they have logged off. It can then delay shutdown by 20 seconds or so if needed, but not if not. This means machines take longer to shutdown or restart if logged on to by a roaming user, but guarantees enough time for the file handles to be closed properly on logoff.
We recently solved our problem with those mentioned persisting file/directory locks which frequently corrupted our Windows 10 roaming profiles. In our case the "Arcserve Backup Agent for Open Files for Windows" on our W2012R2/W2016 file server however was responsible for the persisting file locks after a user logged off from a Windows 10 client. After removing this component no further file/directory locks on the file server have occured at user logoffs/client reboots.
Just stopping the service did not solve the problem?? Has anyone else tested this solution?
We had to remove this Arcserve component complete, just disabling did not solve it.
If I remember it right, we did not try it without rebooting.
Confirmed, after remove "Arcserve Backup Agent for Open Files for Windows" and reboot, problem is gone!


A 'Supreme' version of the Japanese bullet train has been revealed.
According to The Verge, a 'Supreme' version of Japan's 186 mph Shinkansen bullet train has been revealed just in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
New improved versions of the Shinkansen bullet train features a sharper nose, seat power sockets and illuminated luggage racks.
Seats will be upholstered with new fabric and will be able to recline further. First class seats will offer 15% more legroom.
The Central Japan Railway's N700S series trains will debut in 2020 on the Tokaido Shinkansen line, which runs between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka, identified by a gold 'S' that stands for Supreme. A total of 1323 passengers can be transported on board.
Speeds will match the previous train – 177 mph on the Tokaido Shinkansen and 186 mph on the Sanyo Shinkansen line.

'Colourful Language' with regards to swearing
Why is expletive laden, or coarse language often referred to as being colourful/colorful?
Oxford Dictionaries define it,
2.2 (of language) vulgar or rude.
'colorful words usually impolite in public meetings'
'And there's some very colorful language in some of those opinions.'
'This version has had some of the more colourful language removed.'

Interesting question. It might derive from the use of "blu" in the sense of lewd, coarse. See: slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2015/05/25/… – user067531 Nov 17 '17 at 8:23
It's a wryly humorous expression, suggesting a more tolerant attitude than describing it as 'obscene' or whatever. – Kate Bunting Nov 17 '17 at 8:27
Nigel J's answer covers most of the relevant points regarding this use of the word "colorful." I would only add that the definition in the OED that refers to this use is tucked into a larger definition referring to writing that is expressive and vivid.
fig. Of language or literary style: highly expressive, vivid; (euphem.) of the nature of or characterized by coarse slang or invective.
This use is attested in 1876.
She did what so many 'fervent souls' do—scribbled her heart out in a colorful, barbarous rhyme.
1876 - Mary Murdoch Mason · Mae Madden
So in the case of "colorful" being used euphemistically to refer to the obscene, it is the same kind of euphemism we would have if we said "That's some very expressive language," or "that's some very vivid language."
And it's true that vulgarity and profanity carry a message that is highly expressive and vivid; language that is "colorful" in this sense is marked by the strong feelings of whoever composed it.
John TerMaatJohn TerMaat
Mmm..I suspect there is more to "colorful" than just an euphemistic reference to a vivid or expressive language. Plus colorful carries a clear negative connotation in that respect. It has something to do with colors and the negative connotation that they have developed as in that case of blue...but we need more evidence. – user067531 Nov 17 '17 at 18:23
@RaceYouAnytime You digged deeper and got further. (+1). – Nigel J Nov 18 '17 at 0:56
I would have to agree with @user159691 in this case. This answer goes in the right direction, but i feel like it's just missing the link of how or why it came to be associated with being a euphemism for vulgar or rude language. – MagiTech Nov 20 '17 at 14:45
The earliest reference I can find is in the OED reference to 'colourful' :
1914 in Hist. N. Otago from 1853 (1978) 117 Shouting colourful epithets at them, and waving a Maori kit which contained her supper.
That quote would appear to bear the meaning of strong language, a 'colourful epithet'.
The NGram for 'colourful language' begins just after that 1914 quote, in about 1918.
'Colourful' bears a general meaning :
b. euphem. Disreputable; questionable; notorious.
so I assume that is the derivation of its application to language.
And, again, that traces back to the First World war period :
1921 K. Tappert Viewpoints in Biogr. 55 In spite of Nell Gwyn's rather colorful life, the English people love her memory.
'Colourful epithet' is BrE and 'colorful life' is AmE and all this appears to begin in the 1914/1920 period so maybe it is an expression of those times of American/British intermingling and postwar relaxation of society.
'Colourful' does not condemn the language being used, as Victorian ideals would have done so. It is a comment, not a criticism. I think it denotes the changes in society occurring during and after the First World War and involving the unprecedented social upheavals which happened at the time.
Nigel JNigel J
Good information, but it doesn't really answer the question as to how colorful came to mean "bad" with respect to language. – user067531 Nov 17 '17 at 11:39
@user159691 I beg to differ. I would value your own answer and I shall upvote your answer if you get closer than I have managed. – Nigel J Nov 17 '17 at 11:42

A Few Words
Top 5 Most Productive Countries for Chocolate
January 13, 2017 ChocolateLover Chocolate
When it comes to the production of chocolates, there are countries where the main production of the chocolate takes place, with 4 of those countries being Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and the United States. For the 5th country, we will discuss a part of the world where the most important raw material for producing chocolate is sourced from.
Belgium is highly reputed all over the world for the production of chocolates. It is a major center for the manufacturing of chocolates. Belgium alone has over 2000 shops where chocolates are sold as well as about 15 chocolate factories. Godiva, which is among the most reputable chocolate companies in the world, has its headquarters in Brussels. The government also made efforts to ensure that chocolate from Belgium is not made from fats of low quality and are pure.
Switzerland is also very popular for making of chocolates as well as the home of a lot of major manufacturers of chocolate. One of the major sources of income for Switzerland is the production of chocolate. Zurich has the reputation of being the part of Switzerland where the production of chocolate sprang. Some very popular chocolate brands in Switzerland include Sprungli, Lindt, Toblerone and Nestle. The product of chocolate in Switzerland started as early as the 1600s.
Germany is also a major country where a large percentage of chocolates in the world are produced. Cologne has the reputation of being Germany's chocolate capital. Some shops that sell chocolate in Germany often imports chocolate from Cologne to sell with the chocolates that are made in the United States. Amongst the most popular chocolate maker in Germany is Stollwerck. Stollwerck also have branches in Switzerland and Belgium. Some other manufacturers of chocolate in Germany include Leonidas Chocolate, Tortchen and La Maison du Chocolat.
When it comes to production of chocolates of very high quality, then the United States is arguably the best. Hershey Foods Corporation is a commonly known chocolate brand in the world and is the biggest North American chocolate company. The Corporation which was established in 1894 has its headquarters in Pennsylvania.
The major ingredient required for producing chocolate is the cocoa bean. Over 65 percent of the cocoa beans in the world are produced in West Africa, with almost half coming from Ivory Coast. All of these top countries including the United States of America that produce chocolate get the raw materials from West Africa. It is believed that about 50 million people in West Africa are involved in the planting and harvesting of cocoa for local usage and export. Since most of these West African countries do not produce chocolate, over 85 percent of the cocoa they produced are harvested.
If you love top quality chocolates, then you should look out for chocolates from the 4 countries listed above. If you also intend to start your own chocolate manufacturing plant, then you will need to consider sourcing your cocoa beans need from West Africa.

Peter the Great: His Life and Work
Author(s): Robert K. Massie
Against the monumental canvas of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe and Russia, unfolds the magnificent story of Peter the Great, crowned at the age of 10. A barbarous, volatile feudal tsar with a taste for torture; a progressive and enlightened reformer of government and science; a statesman of vision and colossal significance: Peter the Great embodied the greatest strengths and weaknesses of Russia while being at the very forefront of her development. Robert K. Massie delves deep into the life of this captivating historical figure, chronicling the pivotal events that shaped a boy into a legend - including his 'incognito" travels in Europe, his unquenchable curiosity about Western ways, his obsession with the sea and establishment of the stupendous Russian navy, his creation of an unbeatable army, and his relationships with those he loved most: Catherine, his loving mistress, wife, and successor; and Menshikov, the charming, unscrupulous prince who rose to power through Peter's friendship. Impetuous and stubborn, generous and cruel, a man of enormous energy and complexity, Peter the Great is brought fully to life.
Winner of Pulitzer Prize for Biography 1981.

A cyber-security framework for virtualised services
The growing adoption of virtualization technologies and micro-services architectures (e.g., for cloud computing and network function virtualization) is re-shaping the traditional security paradigms for running software appliances. As a matter of fact, such services are usually designed as "graphs" or "chains" of simple applications (often called micro-services), connected by virtual (network) links, and deployed over a virtualised set of computing, storage, and networking resources, indicated as the "execution environment". Although de-coupling software from the underlying infrastructure brings immediate benefits in terms of elasticity, portability, automation and resiliency, the intermediate hypervisor tier also raises new security concerns about the mutual trustworthiness between those two layers and the potential threats in the virtualization substrate.
Unlike the legacy approach, where many appliances are usually delivered with a predefined, verified, and static stack of software on well-known hardware, emerging software development paradigms are increasingly making use of third-party services available in public marketplaces, which are then deployed in public virtualization infrastructures. Virtualization is responsible to provide isolation between computing, networking, and storage resources of different tenants, but cloud users substantially rely on the third-party operation. Similar to well-established practice in physical installations, security appliances like Intrusion Prevention/Detection Systems, Firewalls, and Antivirus can be applied within each sandbox, by integrating them in service graph design, in order to inspect software, network traffic, user and application behaviour. This approach usually brings a large overhead on service graph execution, the need for more resources (CPU, memory), and a tight integration between service designers and security staff (which is not always simple to achieve in current development processes). Additionally, these components are built in the classic fashion, protecting the system only against outside attacks, while the most of the cloud attacks are now done through the compromising of the network functions themselves using tenant networks running in parallel with the compromised system.
The general approach of ASTRID is tight integration of security aspects in the orchestration process.
Starting from the descriptive and applicative semantics of a Security Model, orchestration is expected to deploy and manage the life-time of the service, by adapting the awareness layer of individual components and the whole service graph according to specific needs of detection algorithms. This means that monitoring operations, types and frequency of event reporting, level of logging is selectively and locally adjusted to retrieve the exact amount of knowledge, without overwhelming the whole system with unnecessary information. The purpose is to get more details for critical or vulnerable components when anomalies are detected that may indicate an attack, or when a warning is issued by cyber-security teams about new threats and vulnerabilities just discovered.
The distinctive aspect of the ASTRID approach is that no explicit additional instances of security appliances are added and deployed in the execution environment, which is the typical approach of some recent proposals in this field. The vision of ASTRID is a transition embedded service-centric security frameworks, which decouples monitoring/inspection capability in the virtual functions and their containers from algorithms for detection of threats, anomalies, vulnerabilities, attacks. A Security Model represents the abstraction between the two layers. It uses specific semantics to describe what security functions are implemented by programmable security hooks that are present in the virtualisation container (in the OS kernel, in system libraries, and in the virtual function code), e.g., logging, event reporting, filtering, deep packet inspection, system call interception. Through the Security Model, Orchestration knows what kinds of operations can be carried out on each component, collect data and measurements, and feed the detection logic that analyse and correlated information at graph level to detect threats.
The ASTRID concept brings far more dynamicity, scalability, robustness, and self-adaptability than any other approach proposed so far:
Programming of the data plane requires far less time than deploying, removing, or migrating security appliances within the service graph
Reduced overhead on graph execution and attack surface, since most of the detection logic typically integrated in security instances is shifted outside the service graph.
The intermediate orchestration layer enables also reaction and mitigation actions, hence shortening the time to respond to attacks. For instance, it can dynamically update or replace an application that has been found vulnerable to a specific threat with another one, which may perform the same job but it not vulnerable to that threat. Or, when an attack is detected and pinpointed, it can reinforce protection by instantiating traffic filtering rules in front of the victim service, which discards most of the unwanted traffic. Or, when an application has been compromised, it can either disconnect it (so that the attacker cannot go anywhere) or keep it isolated and use it as honeypot, but passing "fake" traffic to cheat the attacker and collect useful information about his behaviour.
Pulling security appliances out of service graph design makes them independent from the chaining and orchestration models, hence common solution may be developed for different domains (e.g., cloud and NFV).
The targeted set of actions provide the means to dynamically adapt the system based on the type of attack using the elasticity properties of the cloud infrastructure.
The capability to deploy in parallel transparent honeypots which enable the monitoring of attacks in a safe environment provides the means to dynamically adapt and improve the attack signatures which not requiring additional networks.
The centralization of log information and the possibility of duplication and inspection of the data traffic makes possible for the orchestration to execute complex forensics operations which are the only possible solution to determine vulnerabilities in a complex multi-tier environment such as the cloud.
ASTRID seeks novel cyber-security frameworks for
improving situational awareness of virtualised services, including both each single component (i.e., each specific micro-service or virtual function) as well as the service as a whole (i.e., the entire service graph), and
facilitating (possibly automating) the detection and reaction to sophisticated cyber-attacks. Specific challenge will be the ability to detect vulnerabilities, threats and attacks not only from the canonical input/output channel of the services, but also internally to the service.
Specific objectives to implement the above Concept include:
Objective I – Decouple the service business logic from the (necessary) security management. Security management of service graphs is a very challenging task, since the context continuously changes (e.g., scaling and life-cycle management). Integrating security appliances in service graph design is not the best solution, since it usually requires manual operations; instead, security should be described at a very "abstract" level, by defining policies and constraints that describe "what" is required rather than "how" to implement it. ASTRID shifts security appliances away from service graph design. In ASTRID, security properties of each graph component as well as the whole service are defined by proper models and policies, which are then used at deployment time to properly configure the execution environment. The developer specifies security requirements and policies for the protection of the graph, without the need for deep technical understanding of the underlying technology.
Objective II – To automate security management and response to threats, security incidents, attacks. Today, responses to attacks often come late because of the need for human intervention. Following the wave for more automation in the deployment phase, a new framework is required to deploy and configure security agents according to the defined models and policies, and to undertake mitigation actions according to specific security strategies. ASTRID will leverage service orchestration to automatically a) interpret security policies, b) configure the execution environment, c) collect data, measurements, and events both from single functions and whole service graphs; d) react to threats and attacks according to specific strategies.
Objective III – Reduce the run-time overhead of security processing. Most security appliances require monitoring and inspection operations (on network packets, software behaviour, system calls) that consume CPU cycles and may deteriorate the overall service performance, especially in virtualised environment where hardware acceleration is rarely available; in addition, security appliances are not totally immune to attacks, so they increase the attack surface. In this case, the objective is two-fold: a) increase the processing efficiency of (at least) the most frequently executed portion of monitoring and detection tasks, and b) to protect security appliances from attacks. ASTRID will split security appliances in two layers: the data plane and the detection logic. Instead of overloading the execution environment with complex and sophisticated threat detection capabilities, efficient processing capabilities are provided in the execution environment that create events and knowledge; algorithms for detection of threats and vulnerabilities are moved upwards and process such data in a coordinated way for the whole execution environment. The data plane is expected to carry out both packet inspection as well as software vulnerability assessment. It also provides logical isolation between the external environment and the detection logic; the latter is kept in a secure and controlled environment with proper computing power, hence reducing the attack surface. Finally, with respect to objective (b), this efficient data plane can be effectively used to filter malicious traffic directed to the security appliances themselves (e.g., in case of a DDoS), hence protecting them from attacks targeting security appliances.
Objective IV – To support legal and forensics investigation in virtualised environments. The growing number of virtual applications and services is also expected to be subject to illegal usage and cyber-crimes. Specific technical mechanisms are therefore required to facilitate forensics investigation for identification of crimes and criminals. – Means to achieve. ASTRID will support lawful investigation by providing the following technical features:
1) extraction of unencrypted traffic streams from the service graph;
2) real-time and offline access to events, measurements and other information collected throughout the service graph.

How would you send an HTML email from Gmail or Yahoo? Is it possible to embed HTML using Gmail or Yahoo?
Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and Outlook all allow you to send out HTML emails. They also provide some simple tools to allow you to add styles to your text – like italics, colors, bolding, etc.
Yes – you can easily embed your own HTML inside Gmail Yahoo Mail and Hotmail!
However, as you may have already noticed, you can not just write HTML tags into your emails and expect HTML to display. Luckily for you, there is an easy solution that allows you to embed HTML into your Gmail or Yahoo mail message – we broke it down in four easy steps below. But, a word of warning: you should note that this method may not work for you – but it's worth trying out since it's so simple.
So, how can I send out an HTML email in Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail?
1. Use an html editor (like DreamWeaver, TextWrangler, Coda, or whatever you may have) and create the email in the editor. Then save the file with a ".html" extension. Where you save the file does not matter at all, but it's probably easiest just to save the HTML file on your desktop so you can easily access it in step 2.
2. Open that html file in an internet browser – Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc. If you just click on the file it should just directly open up in a browser, since your computer is smart enough to know that a ".html" file should be opened in a browser. If the file does not open directly in a browser, simply open a browser window, and then in the browser menu go to "File->Open File", and choose the .html file.
3. In your browser menu, go to Edit, and then "Select All" or Ctrl+A ( or Command + A if you are on a Mac) to select everything that is displayed in the browser. This is the magic step that stores all the HTML onto your clipboard – so make sure you get this one right!
4. Paste (CTRL + V or Command +V) the html to the Gmail or Yahoo Mail message. Then you are done! This should work like a charm – and you should be able to see the HTML message directly in your message before you send it.
If you are using relative references to your CSS and image files then you will probably have to change those references to be absolute. What's the difference between relative and absolute references? Well, suppose you have an image that you want displayed in your HTML email, but it's currently stored on your desktop – so, for example, the reference to the image file looks something like: "img src="/Users/someUserName/Desktop/your-image.jpg". This is a relative reference. If you want to embed an image inside an HTML email, you will have to first store that image on a server, and then point to that image appropriately with an absolute reference – something like "http://www.someserver.com/images/your-image.jpg". More details on this below.
If your images and CSS files are on your desktop there is no way this would work – they have to be on a server because people viewing your email do not have access to your desktop, nor would you want them to!
So, the answer to this is quite simple – after you open up the contents of the HTML message in an internet browser, you simply select that entire page to copy the contents (using CTRL-C , CMD-C, or Select All) of the page and then finally just paste those contents into the Gmail or Yahoo message using CTRL-V or CMD-V.
How to embed HTML images and CSS into a email?
And then you would just put that tag wherever appropriate in your HTML code for your email message, and then you can follow the same steps given above to send out that HTML message with the images embedded.
The same rule applies for external CSS files. It's definitely easier to use the copy/paste method we described above if you just have your CSS inline – as in embedded inside the HTML email.

Film Notes
Les Oliviers de la justice is the only French film to have been shot during the Algerian War. It won the first ever Prix de la Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Festival in 1962. Unlike the other films of this period, it surprises on several counts: for having been made in the midst of the conflict, for the writer whose book inspired the film, and for its young American director and his intention in making the film. It was made by an Algeria-based company, Société Algérienne de Production des Studios Africa (SAPSA), run by Georges Derocles. An atypical person, Derocles also produced short films for Eric Rohmer and Albert Lamorisse. The film was shot in 1961 with support from CNC in very challenging and almost clandestine circumstances. The cast were non-professional actors and the entire crew was Algerian. The man who wrote the book of the same title was Jean Pélégri, a pied-noir of humble Spanish origin. He went on to become a professor of the arts in France, a well-known author of novels published by Gallimard, and an occasional actor in Robert Bresson's Pickpocket. For this film, which tells the story of his own family, he co-wrote the script, was lead production assistant and played the part of the father. His vision for Algeria was universal, and he was highly regarded by and close to many Algerian intellectuals. To approach such a sensitive subject, Derocles chose, on the advice of Jacques Dormeyer, an American director, James Blue, who graduated from the prestigious IDHEC in 1958, at the same time as Costa-Gavras. James Blue gave the film the tone and style of a documentary, the genre in which he would go on to become a prominent figure (his 1969 film A Few Notes on Our Food Problem was nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar). A highly socially engaged man, he left his mark on a generation of American documentary makers through his work and various university programmes, despite his premature death at 50 years of age. The film, seductive in its style, focuses on the character of the father, who was one of the first settlers to grow vines on the Mitidja Plain. Portrayed as a benefactor, he proudly states, "It was the Arabs who taught me what fairness is," and he places himself above the fighting that is tearing Algeria apart. The position defended by his son, "The country must be for everyone, or else there's no country," while arguable, is sincerely expressed. For its authenticity, and even its ambiguities, the film is a valuable testimony to the complexity of the Algerian situation in that period.
