Pearl Jam Debuts Aerosmith Cover & Brings Out Former Red Sox At Fenway Park Debut
8:19 pm PDT
Scott Bernstein
Seattle rockers Pearl Jam thrilled a capacity crowd at Boston's Fenway Park on Friday night with a show featuring a distinctly Beantown flavor. Not only did Pearl Jam share the stage with a pair of former Red Sox, they debuted a cover by Boston's own Aerosmith and busted out a different cover with a request passed on to the band by Boston sportswriter Peter Gammons.
Pearl Jam began their first-ever Fenway show with a heartfelt "Release." The band went on to mix material from throughout their career over the course of three-hour, 32-song performance that ended with a cover of The Who's "Baba O'Riley." Towards the middle of the show. Pearl Jam welcomed former Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo to play guitar and sing on "Black." Arroyo wasn't the only member of the 2004 World Championship team to appear as later in the night Eddie Vedder asked if there was a "uke" in the house which led to Kevin Youkillis (aka "Youk") making a brief appearance.
Friday's show featured a pair of huge bust outs and a cover debut. Towards the end of the main set Pearl Jam dusted off Bob Dylan's "Masters Of War" for the first time since July 1, 2008 – a span of 199 shows. The band opened their second encore with a debut cover of "Draw The Line," the title track from Boston natives Aerosmith's 1977 studio album. Yet the biggest surprise might be the evening's penultimate song as Vedder & Co. busted out "I've Got A Feeling" by The Beatles for the first time since September 29, 2004 – a span of 357 shows. The Beatles cover came in response to a request by Matthew Plummer for his late father passed on to the band by famed sportswriter/commentator Peter Gammons, who was brought out for a quick bow.
Pearl Jam returns to Fenway Park on Sunday night.

No Banana Imports From Israel
Vice-President of Iran Fruit Union refuted claims that Iran has imported banana from Israel and said that this claim is like one to say that Iran has exported pineapple to some countries.
TEHRAN (Iran News) –Vice-President of Iran Fruit Union refuted claims that Iran has imported banana from Israel and said that this claim is like one to say that Iran has exported pineapple to some countries.
Speaking to ILNA, Sadreddin Niavarani refuted the allegations that Iran has imported banana from Israel and said main investors of a company in the Philippines may be Israelis and if it is proved, Iranian traders should stop trade with that company immediately.
He said that Israel is not a banana producer and Iranian traders do not have license for trade with Israel even through intermediary. He added that such a claim of importing banana from Israel is baseless because Iran imports it from the Philippines and in case it is proved that the investors of the Filipino company are Zionists, Iranian traders will immediately stop trade with it. He noted that some American apparel brands after removal of sanctions could not enter Iran's market because their investors were Israelis.
Niavarani added that Iran is currently exporting over 250 tons of fruits daily to Qatar by air and sea and expressed hope the World Cup market would be a good consuming market for Iranian products and admitted that this market is temporary because Qatar's population is 3m and increase in the amount of fruit exports to Qatar is because of the visitors to this country during the World Cup as the population has reached 3m.
He also said that imposing tariffs for export of tomato and onion has halted export of these products.
He added that export to Russia's market is like the past and no pick-up is seen and China's doors have not opened yet for Iranian traders.
Meanwhile Secretary of Iran's Dried Fruit Exporters Association said that Iran's dried fruits exports has declined to below one billion dollars due to recent decisions in the country.
The annual dried fruits export of Iran was around $3b that it has unfortunately fallen under one billion dollars.
Zeinnoddin Hashemi said that the reason behind the decline in the export of dried fruits is uncompetitiveness of the final cost of Iran's products in the export markets.
He also blamed the decision for imposing 0.5% tariff for water which is used for the products and said that it has increased the final cost.
He went on to say that despite competitiveness advantages of Iran's dried fruits in exporting markets its share is declining in the world and countries like the U.S. and Turkey have expanded their markets and unfortunately they are replacing Iranian products.

The #WiFiCactus is a wireless monitoring tool that is capable of listening to 50+ channels of WiFi at the same time. This talk will discuss the events and data from the last year traveling with the #WiFiCactus including warwalking at DEF CON.
In this talk, the speaker will the show how a popular app with over 10 million downloads can steal mobile traffic. The concept of "Click Injection": a commonplace AdTech fraud technique will be introduced to the audience. Afterwards, the speaker will go through the process of reverse engineering an app that was suspected of conducting click injections.
We've set up an ELK cluster, we're adding algorithms, Threat Intelligence feeds and context. We use our extensive network to sample, label and classify 'bad' data and we're starting with supervised Machine Learning to detect advanced & complex threats.
Internet Balkanization: Why Are We Raising Borders Online?
We must decide now what kind of internet we want our kids to use – a free internet, or one in which everything you say or do is monitored?
You're right, this talk isn't really about you!
The importance of security and privacy, keeping the data safe in healthcare is huge. We also need to be aware, that the criminal can harm the patient in many different ways, for many different reasons, with the goal to harm them, but also doing it by accident, just simple because we did make everything digital, put and connect everything online, without thinking about the need to make it safe and secure.
We'll talk about hunting in network, as well as endpoint environments, and even who the right people on your team are to be your hunters. And finally, we'll discuss several examples of security failures and data exposure found during actual threat hunting engagements on the networks of Black Hat and the RSA Conference.
In this talk we'll cover what a Capture the Flag event is and why they can be so fun and educational to play. I'll tell you about my experience at the European Cyber Security Challenge 2018 and get into some demos on the tasks that we had to solve.
In the year 2000 several Microsoft sites have been hacked by a Dutch Hacker named Dimitri. Several subdomain servers, such as windowsupdate.microsoft.com, 128download.microsoft.com, events.microsoft.com and so on has been hacked. Not even once but twice in a short period of time. A secret meeting was planned by Microsoft with Dimitri. Why was it secretly? What actually happened behind the closed doors at MS? And why even after 18 years it is still a secret? This presentation includes some Mystery, Drama, Action & NSFW.
In this presentation we will share our experience in building application security process from the grounds up. Secure development lifecycle models are well publicized. They seem to be self-explanatory on what needs to be done: threat modeling, composition analysis, static code analysis etc.
Although it's an old technique to perform attack on embedded devices but its easy and proven attack and because of this some well-known researcher came with an idea called NSA playset which introduces the different kind of tools which researchers, security fellows can take advantage off and leverage their research/study/attack. In this talk, we are taking the reference of these ideas and implement a hardware backdoor by taking advantage of hardware hacking skills. Through this hardware backdoor, we can track devices, access root shell from anywhere and can stream fake videos/images on console like Hollywood style.
AutoHotkey is an open-source scripting language for Windows, that provides easy ways for users of most levels of computer skill to automate tasks in Windows applications—through keyboard shortcuts, fast macro-creation, and software automation. In this talk I will be showing ways that this tool can be used for malicious purposes, from droppers to keyloggers, and the OPSEC fails that their authors did.
Back to the future: how to respond to threats against ICS environments.
How can we investigate an incident from an ICS network? What tools should we use? What can we find in network packages for traffic between a PLC and a HMI? What…? We have a lot of questions.
Security pitfalls in script-able infrastructure pipelines.
The presentation will look at modern infrastructure from real companies and dissect their approaches to configurations a secure services.
We start with mostly manual collection, archival, meta-information extraction and cross-validation of more than 637 unique resources related to IoT malware families. These resources relate to 60 1 IoT malware families, and include 260 resources related to 48 unique vulnerabilities used in the disclosed or detected IoT malware attacks. We then use the extracted information to establish as accurately as possible the timeline of events related to each IoT malware family and relevant vulnerabilities, and to outline important insights and statistics. For example, our analysis shows that the mean and median CVSS scores of all analyzed vulnerabilities employed by the IoT malware families are quite modest yet: 6.9 and 7.1 for CVSSv2, and 7.5 and 7.5 for CVSSv3 respectively.
WiFi practical hacking "Show me the passwords!"
There will be no wasting time on purely theoretical approaches or WEP that nobody uses nowadays. In contrast to other talks, it will be focused purely on the practical side: what can actually be done with affordable equipment. The primary focus will be on obtaining clear text passwords to both home and corporate networks.
With over 1,000,000 websites on the Web, Drupal is one of the most popular Content Management Systems out there. This makes Drupal a juicy target for malicious actors. A recently discovered vulnerability in the Drupal Core Project effectively allows an attacker to gain remote code execution on the target server. How can this vulnerability be exploited? How can an attacker make use of such a tool? These are some questions that this talk will attempt to answer to.
APT attacks have traditionally been associated with nation-state players. But in the last few years, the tools and techniques used by few APT actors have been adopted by various cybercriminals groups. In this talk we will walk through an APT intrusion, exemplifying techniques used by threat actors to compromise enterprise networks and achieve their goals. We will also approach the defender side highlighting detection methods and countermeasures.
With the end of 2016 seeing the explosion of the Mirai malware with source-code included, 2017 saw more and more DDoS botnets based on the original or modified Mirai code. At the same time, another fad appeared: cryptomining on infected machines, with Monero mining becoming an important means for malware authors to make money with less overall risk involved. This presentation will focus on what we've seen in our honeypots in the past year – the threats involved, abused exploits and applications as well as other interesting data for the people involved in threat intelligence, operations and security roles.
Weaponizing Neural Networks. In your browser!
Our Proof-of-Concept (POC) proves that neural networks can be used for irreversibly hiding malicious code, thus making any static code-scanner blind to the data that is being delivered through the browser. Also, dynamic analysis of code can be misled by making the network respond to different seeds in different ways (i.e. generate music for one seed and malicious code for another).
A walk through multiple attack scenarios seen in our protected environments, hunting and dissecting different infection vectors with unique modus operandi for payload delivery and persistence followed by intel reporting and detection.
Marek Zmysłowski - Security Researcher at CYCURA INC.
This presentation will focus on methods that can be applied to optimize the fuzzing process and makes it more efficient. It includes tools and strategies like: Address Sanitizer, different distribution strategies, instrumentation and hardware advantages (depends on architecture). All those examples will be presented based on the current open-source leader, AFL.
Scientists are actively working on the creation of quantum computers. Quantum computers can easily solve the problem of factoring the large numbers. Because of this, quantum computers are able to break the crypto system RSA, which is used in many products. We propose to use as the hash function, the lattice-based hash function, and to use lattice based one-way function as an one-way function in hash-based digital signature schemes.
Questions remain over an enterprise cyber security posture and the current level of the threat landscape and the inherent risk profile of the organization. Building a next generation cyber security operations center (CSOC 2.0) is one of the ways in which organizations can build better cyber defense mechanism across the organization.
We will look into several web solutions that can be proven susceptible to such attacks, the resource required to execute an attack, likelihood of arousing suspicion and more. We will also demonstrate a real-time attack against a remotely hosted application that runs a well-known and widely used CMS. Our example represents an efficient method that improves the likelihood of exploiting a non-constant-time function in a PHP-based product.
In my Talk I will present latest attack scenarios against modern vessel and yachts.
If you want to understand how security products are designed, why some of those uninspired messages make it into product interfaces or you're simply curious of how these things work, then here's your product manager's guide through a cybersecurity company.
We have been exploring the security of mobile signaling for years. 2G, 3G and then 4G+, all the generations of protocols proved to be similarly vulnerable. However, the existence of vulnerability doesn't automatically mean it is being exploited in the wild. Having conducted more than 60 security assessments for the mobile operators signaling networks, based on the experience of security monitoring projects, we gathered more than enough info to share with the world. What are the hackers up to? What is the state of networks security? How and which methods allow hackers to bypass evolving security measures? I will explore the most interesting cases in technical detail.
We will charge you. How to [b]reach vendor's network using EV charging station.
This talk is focused on the research of one of the EV chargers intended for SOHO usage. It contains different wireless interfaces as well as mobile application for remote control. During our research, we have found multiple security issues that could provide remote adversary an ability to take control over charger and possibility to compromise vendor's backend infrastructure.
Hardware and software solutions for the collection of personal health information continue to evolve. The reliable gathering of personal health information, previously usually possible only in dedicated medical settings, has recently become possible through wearable specialized medical devices. Among other drawbacks, these devices usually do not store the data locally and offer, at best, limited basic data processing features and few advanced processing capabilities for the collected personal health data. In this presentation, we describe an integrated personal health information system that allows secure storage and processing of medical data in the cloud by using a comprehensive homomorphic encryption model to preserve data privacy.
During this talk we will be touching on some cases of disinformation and discuss their impact over our societies. The stakes now are higher than ever and everyone wants to be part of the game.
ATM machines are rapidly developing and are finding new applications from bill payments to online fund transfers. Everything is getting smart in the modern world and ATM are no exceptions in this regard. The natural choice of manufacturers for making ATM smart is by making their function connected to android based system. However, android based Applications are inherently vulnerable and can be exploited by external attackers or by internal malicious users.
What do you do when Burp is failing you, when even Google is failing you? This presentation describes the approach to a problem encountered during an application test. What can you do when the application sends encrypted requests? You find the encryption-key creation code, realize it's broken, and then proceed to build a Burp Extension that allows you to intercept, decrypt , modify, re-encrypt the requests.
This talk imparts knowledge on Windows required to understand privilege escalation attacks. It describes the most relevant privilege escalation methods and techniques and names suitable tools and commands. These methods and techniques have been categorized, included into an attack tree and were tested and verified in a realistic lab environment. Based upon these results, a systematic and practical approach for security experts on how to escalate privileges was developed.
Mobile, IoT, Clouds… It's time to hire your own risk manager!
This talk is about how to use different techniques (including forensics) to break into data of mobile devices to define and quantify the severity of issues found by these methods. Some examples will be shown on popular apps everyone uses daily, some cases of various apps to highlight the exciting problems.
CPU vulnerabilities - where are we now?
With version 4.0 of OSSTMM about to hit the metaphorical shelves, it is a good time to have a closer look at what the methodology can offer both when used as a whole and when only some parts are utilized during a security test. Which is what we'll do in this talk.
As a part of long-term research into the security of Czech and Slovak Internet (.CZ and .SK domains and/or IP addresses geolocated within CZ or SK), ALEF CSIRT conducted an analysis of data from several thousand freely accessible open directories. Many files from these directories turned out to be quite interesting as Jan will discuss during his talk.
This panel is moderated by Gerd Bommer, ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA.
This talk is based on the presenter's recent master's thesis and hence will deal with the application of machine learning to password list generation to create human-like password dictionaries using character-based Recurrent Neural Networks. Furthermore, it will show that an attacker can facilitate machine learning to generate tailored password lists for specific victims by training a model on password creation schemes of other people in combination with user data of the victim. Additionally, a machine learning classification method will be presented to identify human-generated passwords.
The digital world is changing everything. Billions of devices are connected by the Internet of Things. That holds great potential for everyone, but also great risk. The risk of exposure to cyber-attacks. The risk of losing control over the systems that run our infrastructures. Cybersecurity is and has to be more than a seat belt or an airbag for our data; it's a factor that's crucial to the success of the digital economy. People and organizations need to trust that their digital technologies are safe and secure; otherwise they won't embrace the digital transformation. That's why we are developing a Charter of Trust bearing the principles that are fundamental to a secure digital world.
Is Big Brother really watching while you master baits for your next fishing trip? Are you as outraged as everyone else about the Snowden revelations? Is privacy really a myth? In this session we'll learn exactly what data we should consider as already compromised, what and how to prioritise when it comes to our personal privacy and, of course, even more myths about privacy debunked for a more informed you in your day to day life. Make sure to bring your game for the end of the talk when, depending on how much time we have left, we'll try to have a quick debate on this.
One year after the ransomware attack from Astra Asigurari. Some interesting insights and lessons learned.
Malware is any software intentionally designed to abuse the capability of its system API to cause damage to a computer, server or computer network. In this talk, the speaker will demonstrate the tooling and methodology used to reverse malware and understand its limits. This is a beginner-friendly talk that requires basic programming knowledge.
How can you make use of Tor in your day to day life? And what dangers do you expose yourself to when browsing it? What kind of people are there? What are they doing in such a shady place? What are they trying to do to you? And the most important question of all, do they fry the onions or eat them raw? Let us hold hands together with a Chrome Headless based .onion crawler and scuba dive into the magical wonderland of the Darknet. We will find answers to all questions you have and don't have.
Phishing attempts are generally met with only a limited measure of success – phishing attempts might get blocked or users might not be tricked by the attempt. Threat actors generally reuse the same phishing page template, customized for multiple targets, which they try to deploy at scale to increase their chances of success. Given the high amount of similarity between phishing pages, we can use near-similarity measures to identify phishing pages. This is a quick overview of how such an approach would work and its success rate in identifying phishing pages.
Starting as a developer's best friend, the Android Debug Bridge has slowly turned into a security nightmare over the years. While having an open port available for debugging your application over the internet sounds great, forgetting to turn off that service in production environment can spell big trouble for you or even the consumers using the said products. The Android Debug Bridge protocol was initially designed for accessing various critical services of an Android device over USB. While time passed, it also got encapsulated over TCP/IP, opening up port 5555 for a remote debugger to attach itself. From a security standpoint however, no improvements have been made, and a remote attacker can freely connect and exploit a device over the air. This is why I started developing a low interaction honeypot to catch this kind of attacks following a surge in hits on that specific port in our sensors. Shortly after deployment on only one machine, I started getting hits right off the bat. In the presentation I'll be discussing the development procedure for the honeypot from the ground up as well as dissecting the ADB protocol in order to enable researchers to more easily implement their own honeypots.
This talk will present the basics of the MFA and deep-dive on how can this be bypassed in order to gain access to the user's account.
With the rising of Cloud, many enterprises are able to cut down their IT budget and gain flexibility by moving infrastructure, services and application development to the Cloud. But how safe are they? And at what scale do the economic losses of cyber attacks increase when having websites such as banking, online stores and social media platforms moved in the Cloud? How can companies protect themselves? With a focus on one of the most costly dangers in the Cloud, which is the Economical Denial of Sustainability attack, this presentation tries to answer all of the above questions and give an insight on how such security problems can be prevented and addressed.


A Last Will and Testament is a written document describing how you wish your estate to be handled upon your death. A Will should include instructions regarding whom you wish to designate as your Executor (a person legally authorized to manage your estate after your death), how you wish to dispose of your remains and who will be the guardian of any minor children (assuming no other parent is living or legally responsible for them). Most importantly, your Will can and should be used to specify to whom you wish to give your remaining assets (called named Beneficiaries). Your Last Will and Testament can also be used to provide specific instructions for a variety of other potential matters. In order to avoid possible disputes (as they can be costly legal actions) after your death, your Will needs to be written as clearly and with as much specificity as possible. Estates that consist of substantial real and personal property and where there are multiple beneficiaries, generally should be drafted by an attorney in order to assure that your wishes are followed and that expenses associated with the distribution of your estate are kept to a minimum. Note: a Last Will and Testament is only one of four essential estate related documents that every adult should have. To learn more click here.
What if I don't have a Last Will and Testament?
If you die without a valid (legally acceptable) Last Will and Testament, you will be considered to have died intestate. Generally, this means that your estate will be distributed in accordance with the intestacy laws of the state you reside in when you die. The distribution of assets under intestacy laws may not be in accordance with the way you would prefer to see your assets handled. In addition, any other decisions about how your remains will be handled, who will become guardians of minor children, etc. will be made either by a judge or by a person appointed by the court to make these decisions. Having a legally valid Last Will and Testament assures that all of these matters are handled in accordance with your wishes.
What is a legally valid will?
A Last Will and Testament will be considered valid when submitted to probate if it complies with the statutory or case law requirements of the state in which the Will was executed. In New York State, there are very strict requirements for Wills that were executed in New York. A legally valid Will must be in writing, signed by the testator (the person who's Will it is) and it must be witnessed by at least two adults. The witnesses must be told by the testator that the document is that person's Last Will and Testament (this is called "publishing" the Will) and either signed in their presence or told that the signature on the Will is that of the testator. Witnesses must sign the Will within 30 days of it being signed by the testator. A beneficiary of the Will should not be used as a witness; this may invalidate the gift to that person. In order to speed the probate process, an attorney will usually have each witness also execute an affidavit regarding their witnessing of the Will.
Can I write and execute my own will?
Generally, the answer is, yes, as long as the Will complies with all the statutory and case law requirements for a valid Will, as noted above. Some states accept what are known as holographic Wills. These are documents that were written and signed by the testator and provide some clear indication of their wishes upon their death, but,do not meet the requirements of having been witnessed, published and attested to by the person who has written the Will. In New York State holographic wills are not valid (except under very rare and limited circumstances); instead a person who died with only a holographic Will be treated as having died intestate. However, if a person executed a holographic Will in another state that does deem holographic Wills to be valid, New York will recognize that holographic Will. In general, an attorney will draft a legally valid Last Will and Testament for a reasonable fee, the size of which will be determined by the complexity of your estate. This will assure that your final wishes are followed by the courts and your estate is distributed as you desire. It can also assure you that your beneficiaries will experience a minimal amount of delay in receiving your gifts to them.
If the total value of your estate is substantial, your estate may be subject to payment of federal estate tax. There are strategies that you can employ to minimize the impact of estate taxes.

Because you shouldn't ask me for directions.
I've lived here for how long? Nearly a year and a half? Yes. And my pal, Erin? Nearly a year. You'd think we'd know how to get to Point A from Point B. But no, this is not the truth.
So we find a "side road" that headed in the particular direction we were interested in. That would be south. And also sort of away from the setting sun. Yes, that's how it went. So we're driving, or, she's driving, rather. I'm kind of just laughing because, really people, we have no idea where we're going and how. And why. And, wait a minute, the sun sets in the west, right?
So the road we're on ends. So we turn. Left. Or right. Or in whatever direction looks "least likely to end with our grizzly deaths in horror movie fashion out on the country roads at dusk." OK, so, left. And now it's dark. And we've lost sight of The Highway we were relying on to guide us in the right direction. And, shoot, the sun's gone.
We began judging our moves by the condition of the road.
"Well, this doesn't look very promising. The road doesn't have lines. Turn right."
"Oh! This looks good. Look! Houses! Go straight."
"Turn right, I see lights."
"There's another car ahead of us. He must know where he's going. This looks good. But turn left anyway."
"No, don't go left. The moon's right there."
(Because I'm also guided by the moon? Which I believe has no correlation whatsoever with direction).
And by now we're lost. Very lost. And passing names of unincorporated municipalities we've never heard of. We were definitely in Texas by now. I was convinced. And nothing surrounded us but country. And fields. And probably our looming death by Field Men With Chainsaws, because that sort of thing totally happens around here. And also in movies. That my parents watch.
But we're definitely laughing hysterically the whole time because if we didn't, we'd totally cry like a couple of girls. I mean, uh, we handled it with the bravery of navigators in a new world.
And then, suddenly, salvation. A highway! A semi-unfamiliar highway, but a highway nonetheless, and a sign stated, in more words or less, "Home - That Way," so we went south. And 15 miles later, there we were. Home territory. Also an hour later, for a trip which normally take about 21 minutes.
Today I looked at a map, found the names of the towns we traveled through, and somehow we ended up in the northwestern portion of the county, when I was convinced we were at least in the southeast corner.
Moral of the story is: Hey, we got home. We rule. And also, don't turn left if the moon is there.

Athletes' health not in danger amid pollution worries in China
Published Saturday, April 05, 2008
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said pollution in Beijing will not endanger the health of athletes, although their performance might suffer.
"The health of the athletes is absolutely not in any danger," Rogge said on Saturday. "It might be that some will have to have a slightly reduced performance, but nothing will harm the health of the athletes. The IOC will take care of that."
Speaking at a forum in Singapore, Rogge was asked to comment on the decision by Haile Gebrselassie, the world's greatest distance runner, not to run the men's marathon in Beijing because of worries over pollution.
"Haile Gerbrselassie is arguably the best long-distance runner of the present generation," Rogge said, adding however, that the runner is "slightly asthmatic."
Rogge was not ruling out the possibility that Gebrselassie could change his mind nearer to the date.
"He decided so far – I'm saying so far because we don't know how things will evolve – not to participate in the marathon," he said. "I would say, wait and see ... when he sees the data that we are providing for them."
Rogge had previously said outdoor events in August's games could be delayed if the air quality was too poor.
Pollution – in addition to the violence in Tibet and other human rights issues – had been a major concern for China and the IOC in the leadup to the August 8-24 Olympics. Some athletes are reportedly considering wearing masks to ward off the bad air in Beijing, while many will delay their arrival in China's capital until the last possible moment.
Rogge and IOC executive board member Sergei Bubka traveled to Singapore to observe preparations for the first Youth Olympic Games to be held there in 2010.
The Youth Games will feature about 3,200 athletes aged 14-18 competing in 26 sports.
Rogge said the Youth Games would encourage youngsters who were too attached to television sets and computers to be more active.
"We've seen a drop in physical fitness and a rise in obesity in most of the countries and this is one of the reasons ... why we created this Youth Olympic Games: to bring back young people to sport," he said.
Singapore, with a games budget of $75 million (Dh275 million), will use 24 venues, including one large cluster for 13 sports. Nineteen of the venues already exist, four would be built as temporary facilities and one is under construction for equestrian.
The Southeast Asian city-state of 4.5 million people beat out Moscow in an IOC vote announced in February. (AP)


We have been doing quite a lot of work recently on Chat Bots; in particular, we have been working with the Microsoft Bot Framework and LUIS.
Why? It is a common question when you mention working with the Microsoft tech stack as a lot of people are stuck in the last decade when it comes to their perceptions of Microsoft.
In recent years Microsoft has made a fundamental shift in their community culture, they have gone from the big evil corporation who hoarded all proprietary knowledge to a big evil corporation who is championing open source and collaboration.
This new approach from Microsoft is very evident in their Bot Framework. Microsoft has helped establish new online communities to support bot development and released a large number of sample bot applications to enable developers to get up and running quickly. It is not a selfless act on Microsoft's part; they want companies to invest in Microsoft technologies and host the solutions on Azure, but altruistic or not it has made Microsoft a very attractive starting point for Bot Development.
The Bot Framework, from Microsoft, comes with built-in support for hosting a Bot in web pages, Skype, Slack, Teams, Facebook and more. So rather than companies needing to invest in multiple Bots to support their various web presences they can focus their investment in a single Bot to rule them all. The framework also includes an emulator to make testing Bots easier and sample code for a lot of common functions.
LUIS, Language Understanding Intelligent Service, is another exciting release from Microsoft. LUIS adds conversational intelligence to Bots (and other applications).
When an end user then chats to the Bot it evaluates each statement against the utterances, provides a percentage match, and responds as programmed for each intent. This means that you do not have to list out every possible combination or phrase, LUIS evaluates the statement for you. The Bot then "learns" by the authors reviewing the chat records and letting LUIS know which comment evaluations were right and wrong.

Q: Cannot override CORS headers in Slim Framework I am using Slim v3 with the CORS middleware at https://github.com/tuupola/cors-middleware to handle CORS headers. Everything works, however I now need to be able to modify the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header based on who a user is logging in as. I have another middleware that executes after the CORS middleware to do user verification, and I was hoping that from within this middleware I could just add $response  = $response->withHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', $userdomain) and it would keep the rest of the CORS headers set by the previous middleware, but override that one. However, this doesn't seem to happen. No matter where this middleware executes, the CORS headers are always the ones defined by the CORS middleware.
The current setup looks like this:
$app->add(new \Internal\OAuth\Middleware($this->getDBs()));

$app->add(new \Tuupola\Middleware\Cors([
    "origin" => ['*'],
    "methods" => ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'OPTIONS', 'DELETE'],
    "headers.allow" => ['', 'Authorization', 'Content-Type', 'Content-Length', 'Origin', 'Accept'],
    "credentials" => true,
    "cache" => 100
]));

The \Internal\OAuth\Middleware __invoke looks like this:
public function __invoke($req, $res, $next) {
    //do authentication stuff
    $userdomain = 'http://blahblahblah';
    $res = $res->withHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', $userdomain);
    return $next($req, $res);
}

A: In the middleware you need to add a header AFTER the handler
<?php

namespase \Internal\OAuth;

class Middleware
{
    public function __invoke($req, $res, $next) {
        //do authentication stuff
        $userdomain = 'http://blahblahblah';
        $res = $next($req, $res);
        return $res->withHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', $userdomain);
    }
}

A: Try it:
index.php:
<?php

$app = new \Slim\App();

$app->add(new \Internal\OAuth\Middleware());

$app->get('/', function(\Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $req, \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface $res, $args) {
    $res->getBody()->write(json_encode(['url' => $req->getUri()->__toString(), 'args'=>$args]));
    return $res->withHeader('content-type', 'application/json');
});

$app->run();

src/Internal/OAuth/Middleware.php
<?php

namespace Internal\OAuth;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;

class Middleware
{

    /**
     * @param ServerRequestInterface $req
     * @param ResponseInterface $res
     * @param callable $next
     * @return ResponseInterface
     */
    public function __invoke($req, $res, $next) {
        //do authentication stuff
        $options = [
            "origin" => ['http://blahblahblah'],
            "methods" => ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'OPTIONS', 'DELETE'],
            "headers.allow" => ['', 'Authorization', 'Content-Type', 'Content-Length', 'Origin', 'Accept'],
            "credentials" => true,
            "cache" => 100
        ];
        $cors = new \Tuupola\Middleware\CorsMiddleware($options);
        $handler = new Handler($res, $next);
        $res = $cors->process($req, $handler);
        return $res;
    }
}

src/Internal/OAuth/Handler.php
<?php

namespace Internal\OAuth;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;

class Handler implements RequestHandlerInterface
{

    protected $callable;

    protected $response;

    public function __construct(ResponseInterface $response, callable $callable)
    {
        $this->callable = $callable;
        $this->response = $response;
    }

    public function handle(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface

Press Release: Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative [February 10, 2016]
Updates from the FALSC Interim Executive Director
Organizational Updates
FLVC is continuing to work on standing up the new Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative (FALSC), a process that will continue through discussions with the Members Council on Library Services (MCLS), FLVC/FALSC leadership, and the Executive Advisory Council (which is now meeting quarterly). Strategic planning for FALSC is underway, and the organization will begin the search for a permanent Executive Director soon. When referring to FALSC verbally, there are several options:
Use the entire name: Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative
Spell out the acronym: F-A-L-S-C
Pronounce the acronym: FALL-see
Dr. Pam Northrup, CEO of the Innovation Institute and FLVC, recently advised the MCLS that there may be an opportunity to reopen the conversation around organizational naming � for the Complete Florida Plus Program (CFPP), or FALSC, or both � in the next legislative session (spring 2017). Until that time, both these programs are officially named in statute, though we will continue using the name Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC), rather than CFPP, for the larger organization.
A formal organizational chart for FLVC and its component areas is nearing completion. We expect to share that with internal staff in early March. FALSC will share some services with other areas of FLVC, including Information Technology and Business Operations.
Governance and Advisory Processes
The FLVC Executive Advisory Council (EAC) held its quarterly meeting on January 21, 2016. MCLS Chair Anne Prestamo (FIU) attended that meeting as an official EAC representative (Chair Elect Ray Calvert (PHSC) is also a member of the EAC). In addition to organizational updates on FLVC and FALSC, updates from the two members councils, and discussions on the current legislative session, the group also reviewed the proposed Next-Gen ILS Planning and Implementation Framework at a high level. The EAC will have representation on the Next-Gen ILS Steering Committee. The group also discussed the "Online Learning Professional Development" initiative and the survey proposed by the Open Access Textbook and Educational Resources (OATER) Task Force.
The Members Council on Library Services (MCLS) held their quarterly meeting on February 9 at the College of Central Florida in Ocala. Full minutes of that meeting will be posted online once available; highlights are included below.
In the morning, Kate Nevins continued facilitating the discussion of actions items that arose from the "Engaging for the Future" discussions in October. In December, the MCLS determined two action items they would like to focus on immediately: 1) The FALSC/FLVC decision-making/recommendation process and levels of authority; and 2) E-Resources aspirational goals. In this latest discussion, the MCLS identified specific actions they would like to take to accomplish these tasks, including the setting up of two task forces who will come back to the larger MCLS with reports.
Dr. Pam Northrup updated the group on the current legislative session. While session is far from over, the one-time request for funds for the Next-Gen ILS implementation continues to be looked on favorably. The other request, for recurring funds for STEM e-resources, is looking less likely to be funded. The group also discussed the Legislative Budget Request (LBR) process for FY2017-18 requests, a process that has already started and which will culminate with requests being submitted for consideration in summer 2016.
After reviewing organizational and library project updates (reported elsewhere in this document), FALSC Interim Executive Director Lucy Harrison then presented a framework for strategic planning that had previously been discussed with FLVC leadership and the MCLS Executive Committee. A great deal of strategic planning work has already been done by the MCLS and others, including the sessions with Kate Nevins, the Strategic IT Roadmap, and the Next-Gen ILS Planning and Implementation Framework. Lucy Harrison suggested working with the MCLS Executive Committee and others to pull these pieces together into an action-oriented and measurable strategic plan, using the balanced scorecard approach. She also suggested a draft vision statement for FALSC, based on the feedback received at the sessions facilitated by Kate Nevins:
FALSC provides highly visible, innovative, and foundational statewide library and information services to ensure strong libraries and help students, faculty, and researchers succeed. We excel as a service organization by building relationships, implementing shared solutions, and demonstrating efficiencies through collaboration.
Harrison will work with the MCLS Executive Committee and FLVC leadership to finalize that vision statement and move forward with strategic planning for FALSC.
FALSC staff along with MCLS Chair Anne Prestamo then provided an update on the Next-Gen ILS negotiation and planning (see below).
Due to the short timeframe since the last MCLS meeting in December, there were no formal reports from the FALSC standing committees and task forces.
The next meeting of the MCLS is scheduled for June 14, 2016 at St. Petersburg College, Seminole Campus. The next meeting of the Executive Committee is scheduled for Wednesday, February 17, from 2:30 � 4:00 p.m. ET. Once approved, agendas, meeting packets, and minutes for all MCLS and Executive Committee meetings are available online.
The FALSC Regional User Meetings will be held in April and May 2016. The focus of the meetings this year will be on the implementation of Innovative Interfaces' Sierra and Encore/Duet software for all forty public higher education institutes in Florida. Registration and a draft agenda will be available in mid-March. See "Upcoming Events," below, for additional details.
Library Project Updates
Next-Gen ILS Task Force
The Next-Gen ILS Negotiation Team, which includes Members Council on Library Services (MCLS) representatives Anne Prestamo and Janice Henderson, began negotiations with Innovative Interfaces, Inc. shortly before the December break. We have had several negotiation meetings on issues including pricing, hosting, and disaster recovery options, implementation timing, data quality and cleanup, and product functionality. FALSC/FLVC technical staff have also had very specific and detailed conversations with Innovative technical staff around product architecture, data extraction and migration, and known technical concerns (e.g., time zones, audit trails). Conversations have also begun between UWF and Innovative legal counsel on contract matters. We hope to be in conceptual agreement with Innovative soon, with a contract signed by the end of February or shortly thereafter.
At their December 10 meeting, the MCLS provided some significant additional input into the Next-Gen ILS Planning and Implementation Framework, which outlines the expectations for how FALSC, the MCLS, the various workgroups, and local institutional staff will be working together to implement the new system. All suggestions were identified and considered by the MCLS Executive Committee at their December 16 meeting. At that meeting, the Executive Committee approved an updated version of the framework, although they recognized that it may need to be updated again once negotiations are complete. That updated document, with changes identified in red, was sent out to the full MCLS on January 22. Any additional suggestions should be submitted by Tuesday, February 16, and should include specific language and desired location within the document.
After the December 10 meeting, the Executive Committee also put out a call to the MCLS for volunteers for an Ad Hoc committee tasked with determining the process and criteria for the Next-Gen ILS "go live" recommendation. That task force was formally named at the February 9 MCLS meeting.
OCLC Access Fees
FALSC has reached a contractual agreement with OCLC to pay the Access Fees on behalf of all 28 colleges, effective January 1, 2016. FALSC/FLVC has been paying this fee for the universities for some time.
OCLC has already billed the colleges for January, but will be providing credits to individual institutions on the next bill. As a reminder, your institution will still be responsible for subscription fees for the specific services to which it subscribes (e.g., cataloging, interlibrary loan).
As part of this agreement, FALSC will also be upgrading its EZProxy license with OCLC which will allow us to move to the latest version and provide more robust access to e-resources for the institutions that use that service (all 28 colleges plus Florida Polytechnic University, FAMU, and New College of Florida). More information about the timing and details of that upgrade will be provided soon.
The FLVC Help Desk received 12,461 cases in 2015. More than 98.5% of cases were resolved as of February 1, 2016. The total number of cases is actually down slightly from 2014, due to the removal of the requirement for students to log in to the FLVC website, and improvements to the self-help available to staff on the FALSC website and elsewhere. Library cases make up about 43% of the total cases received.
Email remains the most popular way to contact the Help Desk, accounting for 7,257 (58%) of requests received, followed by phone at 2,640 (21%). However, the number of chat requests is increasing rapidly. FLVC launched chat service on June 18, 2014 with limited hours (35 hours a week) and received 81 cases by chat for the remainder of 2014. In October 2014, we expanded the hours of chat availability, and in May 2015, we expanded the hours again so that chat is available any time the Help Desk is staffed. In 2015, we received 1,272 requests by chat. About 10% of the cases we receive are through chat, and we expect that number to increase.
As a reminder, two new tools for institutional staff � Enhancements Queue and Cases at My Institution � were added to the FLVC Support Center in early December. These new tools are available from the FALSC website or directly from the Help Desk drop-down menu of the FLVC Support Center at https://support.flvc.org.
Discovery Interfaces
The User Interfaces Standing Committee (UISC) met on January 14 and discussed how to change the display in Mango for records with many ISBNs. A proposal was made to display only the first four or five numbers and add a "Show More" button to display the entire list. FALSC is investigating the development effort involved.
We have been working with St. Petersburg College and EBSCO to set up an extract of their Aleph holdings to include in their trial instance of EBSCO's Curriculum Builder. For now, we will be putting the other LTI Project (using code graciously shared by UCF) on hold, as it requires substantial development resources. Should FALSC not end up licensing the EBSCO Curriculum Builder product as part of the Next-Gen ILS, we will continue our investigation into other LTI tools.
The e-resources group licensing process for 2016 is almost complete. Access has been activated and final payments are wrapping up. E-Resources were identified as a high priority for the MCLS this year, and they will be working with FALSC and consultant Kate Nevins to establish long term goals for the program (e.g., developing new program approaches and language for legislative proposals, working on contingency plans). We are also planning to discuss the current e-resources group licensing process with CSUL, the MCLS, and the Collection Management and E-Resources Standing Committee, with the goal of improving that process.
We continue to work with several colleges during their transition from materials vendor Baker & Taylor to Yankee Book Peddler (or in one case, to Coutts). Several colleges receive MARC records from Baker & Taylor that FALSC batch loads into Aleph; others use EDI ordering/invoicing. Migration is complete for several colleges (including, most recently, Pensacola State College), but we continue to work with others (including Miami Dade College, Florida State College at Jacksonville, and College of Central Florida) to finesse the process.
FALSC will be setting up workflows for SUS lending libraries to start billing both SUS and FCS borrowing libraries for lost books that have been borrowed through UBorrow.
We will discuss the process and ask for input regarding policy and setup issues, first from the Resource Sharing Standing Committee (RSSC) on February 3, and then from the wider Access Services list. Implementation will begin soon afterward. [Note: After discussing this item with the RSSC, it became clear that there was not consensus within the SUS representatives, or between the SUS and FCS representatives, on this topic. Further discussion will need to take place.]
Centralized Data Loads, Extracts, and Reports
FALSC continued regular monthly loading of records into the FCS (FCC01), SUS (UXU01), and PDA01 bibliographic libraries, and the LCA10 authority library in Aleph. Patron data was also loaded regularly for the FCS and SUS libraries per their requested schedules. We also created ad hoc reports on 10-year circulation statistics, data clean-up reports for the FCS, and quarterly vendor statistics reports for FCS. The December SUS Aleph record counts are also complete, and we have completed four collection assessment reports for FGCU and a report of duplicate holdings/items for all of UF. We are currently working on a duplicate holdings/items report for the entire SUS which will be completed soon.
We are investigating an issue with an Aleph batch load peculiarity: if a field has multiple $5's, $5KEEPxx must occur first for the field protection to work. We have identified the records where $5KEEPxx is not the first $5 and have moved the $5KEEPxx to be the first $5. A new GenLoad process that will add the subfield $5's in the correct order is currently being tested.
FALSC staff member Jeannie Dixon is working with the colleges to ensure they have the necessary data to complete their IPEDS reporting. Congratulations to North Florida Community College, who was the first to complete and lock their Academic Library Survey.
Data loading projects of note include:
New PDA/DDA/xDA plans for PDA01: SUS shared Coutts.
E-Book and PDA monthly updates: Loaded Alexander Street Press, ebrary, Springer, EBSCO, Credo, SWETS, Safari.
New E-Book vendor: One-Click Digital for GCSC.
LCA10: For 2016, we have loaded records through week 4.
EJournal Serial Solutions: January is complete.
EJournal MARCit!: January is complete.
GPO Marcive SUS e-books: January is complete.
EEBO Record Reloads: Currently working with UCF, FSU, and USF to load the replacement records for Early English Books Online.
FSU Law Microform Holding Deletes: This effort is complete.
Automated Loading Processes: The loading of SUS Cassidy Law records is now fully automated and the records are loading in production.
We continue to consult with SUS libraries to develop and approve GenLoad profiles for library staff to use for ongoing data loads into UXU01. We are currently working on Swank Digital Campus Streaming Movies and Rittenhouse Purchased for FGCU; IEEE Xplore for USF; Hein Approved for FSU Law; and Gale Virtual Ref for UF.
Recently approved or revised profiles include Readex American Civil War, Readex American Slavery, and Women Writers Online for UCF.
FALSC also extracts data from Aleph on regular schedules for shipping to outside parties (e.g., institutional financial systems, third-party discovery systems). We continue to work on the yearly book chapters holdings update to be extracted and sent to RapidILL.
Bibliographic Database Quality
In December we reported that we had completed the first phase of the major database quality project that has been in progress for most of the past year, cleaning up a total of 482,503 records � over 3% of the records in the full bibliographic database for the universities. We have now begun Phase 2 of this effort (records with multiple holdings), although it should be noted that we did include multi-holding records for certain well-defined sets (such as gov docs) in Phase 1.
512 SUS bibliographic records with multiple 245 fields have been identified. These records are a mix of vendor-supplied records for very old titles that were microfilmed or digitized and government documents. The 245 fields in the original MARC records exceeded the Aleph field length limits and were split into multiple fields when the records were loaded. FLVC staff will shorten the multiple 245s to a single 245 and copy the original text of the 245s to note fields. UCF has provided guidelines for this effort.
We have provided a report to the colleges on pre-publication records in the system for which they have holdings attached (over 10,000 records). Instructions were also sent on how best to clean up these records. We appreciate the efforts of library staff in helping with this maintenance. A new report for this was run in January and the number is now under 5,000. FLVC staff are also working on this cleanup effort.
FALSC regularly performs additional manual and automated cleanup to remove duplicates and correct other issues. We recently ran a report on ISBN duplicates in the FCS database and compared it to the same report from 2007. In 2007, we found 4,034 ISBN duplicates out of 1,365,737 records. Running the same report in 2016, we found only 1,909 ISBN duplicates (fewer than half as many), despite the database almost doubling in size to 2,565,068 records. Staff at FALSC manually compare these duplicates and correct these and other duplicate records as necessary. We also recently completed the cleanup of 802 sets of Alexander Street Press e-book duplicates for SUS.
FALSC continues to work with the Digital Initiatives Standing Committee (DISC) and its Islandora SubGroup (ISG) to determine next areas of focus for FL-Islandora development (for example, they recently reviewed MODS forms changes to upgrade from v.3.4 to v.3.6), and with the newly-formed DISC PALMM Subcommittee to determine the future direction of the PALMM project. FALSC is also working with the DISC Finding Aids Working Group to create and distribute an MCLS-approved survey focusing on archiving finding aids (their creation, management, and availability to the public), to be used as input for FALSC's support of archival finding aids and services to archivists.
Broward College's Islandora site is now publicly available at http://broward.digital.flvc.org. We are also working with UWF to move many of their digital library materials to an FLVC-hosted Islandora site.
On January 29, FALSC provided FL-Islandora training through Collaborate to attendees from State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota, Hillsborough Community College, Gulf Coast State College, University of West Florida, and Florida Gulf Coast University.
We are preparing to upgrade the Islandora software to the latest version, release 7.x-1.6. Once that is complete, we plan to work with an outside vendor, discoverygarden, to perform some diagnostics on the Islandora servers.
We continue to work with institutions using Islandora to provide them with customized access to the data. For example, an "embargo_admin" role has been put into production for FSU which enables them to offer Islandora Scholar embargo management to a wider group of users. FGCU has also requested direct access to the Islandora Fedora repository so they can create exhibits using Omeka software and the Fedora Connector. We have also begun working with UF on an exploratory basis to test the import of newspaper data from Sobek to Islandora. One test serial title (13 issues) has been loaded into the Florida Digital Newspaper Library test site, using data downloaded from FDNL on Sobek. We hope to soon test the loading of additional newspaper issues exported from the FDA.
During the month of January, the Florida Digital Archive (FDA) ingested 1,574 GB of new data, consisting of 3,644 packages and 159,540 files. The FDA currently contains 213.89 TB of data, 501,598 total packages/AIPs, and 61,151,476 data files.
For the Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) hosting service, 149 UCF graduate theses and 41 UCF Honors theses were put into production.

Q: how to configure gitlab-ci runner to clone from correct http url I'm running both gitlab and runner in separate containers. Gitlab is accesssible on localhost port 80 and I can clone with
http://username:password@172.17.0.1/root/citest.git

172.17.0.1 being the ip of the docker0 interface on my box
However, when running any pipeline I'm getting the dreaded "You appear to have cloned an empty repository" issue. Investigation showed that the runner has the following remote:
[remote "origin"]
    url = http://gitlab-ci-token:jEZ_WtWKR4LaP63Qrk_E@b4b32c3cc3e7/root/citest.git

b4b32c3cc3e7 is the gitlab-ce container id
I guess this is because I'm running gitlab on a container and I haven't configured a specific domain name?
If my guess is correct, is there any environment variable I can set in my gitlabci.yml to adjust the location of the gitlab server?
Otherwise, is there any way where I can make the runner always know gitlab's ip which is changing?
The above is a bit specialized and maybe confusing so here's some background: I'm trying to make a devops lab for students to learn git, ci/cd and other devops-y practices on. I can only deploy this ad-hoc on my laptop on whatever ip I have at that time and ask them to connect to my box. Under these circumstances I don't see any way to set a domain or anything static in gitlab other than a container ip, right?

A: SO, instead of trying to persuade two containers to talk to each other I used docker compose, below is my docker-compose.yml
version: "2"
services:
  gitlab:
    image: 'gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest'
    restart: always
    environment:
      GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
        external_url "http://gitlab:80"
        gitlab_rails["gitlab_shell_ssh_port"] = 2224
        gitlab_rails["lfs_enabled"] = true
        gitlab_rails["time_zone"] = "CET"
        gitlab_rails["gitlab_email_enabled"] = false
    ports:
      - '22:22'
      - '80:80'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - 'gitlab_config:/etc/gitlab'
      - 'gitlab_logs:/var/log/gitlab'
      - 'gitlab_data:/var/opt/gitlab'

  gitlab-runner:
    image: 'gitlab/gitlab-runner:latest'
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - 'runner_config:/etc/gitlab-runner'
      - '/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock'
    depends_on:
      - gitlab
    links:
      - gitlab

volumes:
  gitlab_config:
  gitlab_logs:
  gitlab_data:
  runner_config:

This allows gitlab to be accessible on localhost but also the runner can see gitlab on http://gitlab


(LATIN AMERICA NEWS) Via Fox News Latino- Latin Americans see junk food as an "aspirational" product that helps them be more like people in rich countries, but the result is obesity and a higher incidence of chronic diseases, Latin American Health Coalition director Beatriz Champagne said.
"We aspire to eat the food consumed in the more developed countries," Champagne told Efe.
Champagne participated in a regional workshop on non-communicable diseases, or NCDs, in Panama.
For a long time, infectious diseases were the cause of most deaths in Latin America, "but in recent decades chronic diseases have become the main cause of mortality," with three out of four deaths in the region, she said.
Among the deadly NCDs are cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, caused mostly by unhealthy nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle, widespread consumption of tobacco products and alcohol, and the consumption of foods with low nutritional value.
Some 75 percent of deaths caused by NCDs, according to the World Health Organization, occur in developing countries.
In Latin America, roughly 200 million people suffer from NCDs and 37 percent of deaths from these ailments occur in people under the age of 70.
The incidence of NCDs in the region increased with the arrival of food transnationals "more interested in their profits than in people's health," Champagne said.
"The traditional diets in our countries are environmentally sustainable and healthier than what people eat now," she said, adding that Latin America had become a region that promotes obesity.
Some 75 percent of Latin Americans between the ages of 19 and 59 are overweight or obese, according to a recent report by a transnational alliance of lawmakers sponsored by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, or FAO.
To fight obesity, Champagne is promoting appropriate health policies and taxing junk food, as was done in Mexico, the only country in the world that currently imposes an excise tax on sugary drinks.

Finally! Welcome Results for Long-Term Back Pain Sufferer
Two decades ago, George Derleth, 77, of Saginaw, slipped and fell on a metal staircase at work. Since then, he's had a long, 20-year saga of low back pain, five failed back surgeries, and 20 years of physical therapy.
"I've gone everywhere trying to get help for my back and legs," he explains. "HealthSource is the place that I prefer, period!"

Aquatic Therapy Leads to Progress with No Pain
Shields resident Susan McInerney had already undergone successful outpatient rehabilitation at HealthSource after a total knee replacement. She was a BIG fan of the aquatic therapy pool since it allowed her to move and progress with little to no pain.
"I was at a different rehabilitation center for five months after my knee surgery. I couldn't even walk or bend it or do anything," Sue explains. "My doctor sent me to HealthSource. Once I got out here and got into the pool, my knee started to work because the water just gave me the ability to bend it."
So, when she broke her hip a short time later after tripping and falling at home, she knew she would head back to HealthSource for inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation.

When Sharon Faber of Zilwaukee looks down at her new, straighter, stronger legs, she hardly recognizes them.
It all began less than two years ago when she fractured her ankle and was referred to orthopedic surgeon Tarek Taha, MD. "When Dr. Taha was examining my ankle, he noticed my knees," Sharon explains. "I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and my knees were noticeably deformed in what is called 'wind swept' pattern – one leg is knock kneed and the other is bow legged."

Norman Stange, Saginaw
Outpatient Therapy Helped Stroke Patient Regain His Voice
Hearing her husband, Norman, singing in the shower is a source of pride for Mary Ann Stange. Three years ago, her husband of 41 years suffered a stroke. The two were attending a play in Bay City when suddenly Norm couldn't speak – not a single word.
Luckily, he was treated quickly with a clot-busting medication (Alteplase IV r-tPA ) and was only hospitalized for a short time. Norm's stroke left him unable to read, write, or speak. The couple was devastated. However, Norm was committed to gain his communication back and worked intensely in outpatient therapy at HealthSource Saginaw with speech-language pathologist Katie McDonald. Norm regained function and was nearly back to normal in six months.

A Silver Lining After Illness and Injury
Michael Gallagher of Saginaw is remarkably upbeat about — what he calls — his two "speed bumps" and the "souvenirs" they've left behind in his life. The first was a life-threatening stroke in 2009 that left him partially paralyzed on his left side. The second was a broken hip just a few years later — the result of tripping on stairs in his garage.
Both brought him to HealthSource Saginaw for acute inpatient rehabilitation, where Michael discovered top-notch, creative, compassionate care. Both introduced him to people he would not otherwise have met — professionals he cherishes as people and experts he credits with producing his outstanding recovery outcomes.

Worth the Drive From Frankenmuth
For Robert and Jill Loftus of Frankenmuth, the drive to HealthSource Saginaw in Saginaw Township for outpatient therapy is well worth the gas and wear and tear on their vehicle. Robert had a very successful stay here in acute inpatient rehabilitation after his second stroke. Outpatient therapy has helped him gain back even more use of his right side.
"We're driving a looong way," admits Jill, director of patient care at St. Mary's of Michigan. "It's because they know Bob. The therapists are kind, considerate, and really know their mojo. They evaluate, re-evaluate, and never accept the status quo. He just gets better and better with the goals they set for him. It's more than a facility…it's a comprehensive program. They REALLY know their rehab."

Big and Little Things Stand Out for Brain Surgery Patient
When Joni Buss of Birch Run had two of three brain tumors surgically removed, she suffered some unexpected, but not uncommon results. "I woke up from surgery and couldn't move one of my legs at all," she remembers. "The doctor explained that it might take time and therapy to regain use of my leg. He strongly recommended HealthSource for acute inpatient rehabilitation."
What Joni found at HealthSource were outstanding facilities and therapists. The big things? She was standing within two days of arriving and walking (and running a little) with a brace by the time she was discharged. With outpatient therapy, she made even more progress and only has minor foot and ankle issues. "It was unbelievable. Everything else came back," she says.
FIND OUT THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER TOO
The love and support of family and friends is a key part of the healing process.
For more than 80 years we've been a healthcare focal point in Saginaw and surrounding communities. HealthSource Saginaw has changed and transformed to meet the needs of those we serve – from tuberculosis patients in the 1930s…to those seeking long-term care or recovery from surgery, debilitating illness or injury, chemical dependency, or mental health issues today.
We are a rehabilitation/recovery hospital. There is no one like us in the region offering the scope of services from short-term care to a lifetime of care.

Welcome to Miston ...
Although we found mention of Miston during our research, we have little information about it.<1> Given the context of how Miston was mentioned, we believe that it was a community rather than a locale or some type of landmark. We have done a cursory search and if it was a community, we haven't been able to find any evidence that it still exists..
While we are confident that Miston was located in Itawamba County, we don't know its actual location within the county.
We've added Miston to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Miston - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Miston, please Contact Us.
Time Zone: The area where we believe that Miston might be (or was) located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time
We believe that Miston would be found within the (662) area code.
Adding Miston to Our Gazetteer ...
As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
That's the case with Miston: The earliest book where we found it mentioned was in the Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).
For more details about the above, see References and Mentions for Miston on our Genealogy Page.
Communities Also Named Miston ...
Using our Gazetteer, we have found another community named Miston - it's located in Tennessee.

<1> If we encounter the name of what might be a community, our methodology is to add that name to our Gazetteer. For example, we might find a sentence like "He went north past Miston and then turned west". While Miston could be some kind of landmark, we think that it's more likely to be a community. We've added Miston as a placeholder with the hope that we'll be able to add more information in the future.
Just as a reminder: Our definition of a community is rather broad and includes those places (or areas) where several families lived and had a name which identified that place. For example, you might hear somebody say that they are going over to Bird Creek to see Pete ... Bird Creek is just a gas station and a couple of homes at the crossroads. While it might not be on the map, everybody in the area knows it by that name.
Places of interest include buildings at a crossroad, several families clustered in a hollow or maybe the location of a way station. It also includes places like mines, lumber camps, ferry crossings, etc. The community might still exist, is now gone or only existed for just a short period of time.
Also keep in mind that Miston could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong county. Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community - we're working to straighten it all out.
