Center for Wireless ...
Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven (CWTe)
We are creating a coherent, integrated approach to wireless systems, from the propagation of radio waves up to and including optical and wireless access networks. Our goal is to push boundaries and explore new applications of wireless technology.

Multidisciplinary, application-oriented research into wireless technologies
The CWTe is a collaboration of five research groups of the Electrical Engineering department of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e): Electromagnetics (EM), Integrated Circuits (IC), Signal Processing Systems (SPS), Electronic Systems (ES) and Electro-optical Communication (ECO). We focus on four programs: Ultra-High Data-Rate Systems, Ultra-Low Power and Internet-of-Things Communication, Terahertz Technology, and Radio Astronomy.
Together, these programs cover a range of topics such as antenna design, wireless power transfer, data conversion and RF circuit design, signal processing, communications baseband algorithms, and optical and wireless access network design.
We continuously develop a vision for each of our programs, their applications and supporting technologies. Our horizon extends, at this moment, to 2028. It includes a regularly updated roadmap of the enabling technologies that will be needed. Based on this, we define the research direction and identify the areas where collaboration with other disciplines and partners will be required.
The Ultra-High Data-Rate Systems program covers network architectures and system design for high-speed, high-capacity wireless communications. We aim at solutions for pushing data rates toward terabits per second. The Ultra-Low Power and Internet-of-Things Communication program focuses on the spectrum and energy efficiency of the IoT, such as ultra-low-power circuitry and protocols. Our goal is to develop enabling techniques for massive and dependable energy-efficient communication networks. The Terahertz Technology program is working on the next step to realize miniaturized and affordable terahertz systems. It will be these systems that will bring the wealth of terahertz applications from the laboratory to the real world where companies, medical centers and consumers will profit from the special detection and imaging properties of this frequency range. Our Radio Astronomy program focuses on designing the next generation of radio telescopes. The universe has never been properly mapped at low frequencies (below 30 MHz), and this research contributes to a space-based radio telescope with the goal to look deeper into space.

CURRENT OPEN POSITION
Assistant Prof. Optical Domain Signal Processing in Nano-cell Wireless Networks (V36.3813)
Overview of all the vacancies within the Electrical Engineering department
All-in-one for wireless communication
The CWTe integrates various laboratories designed for research on wireless antennas covering an area of 700 square meters: from near-field scanning (the testing of antennas in a small space), to the testing of new chips on wafers. The facilities include a fully shielded metal room in which the most sensitive electronics can be measured. In a system integration lab, chips can be linked to other components. In particular, the combination of the various laboratories and the clustering of the associated expertise in one place make the CWTe unique in Europe.
The CWTe laboratories are fitted with a traditional anechoic chamber of 28m² that facilitates antenna measurements from 500MHz till 40GHz. Next to classical far-field measurements it also supports planar near-field measurements of large connectorised antenna systems up till 90GHz.

An overview of all our Research Retreats, CWTe bi-monthly colloquia, Other Colloquia and Symposia.
The synergy of fundamental science and industrial application could generate substantial gains for partners collaborating within the Center for Wireless Technology. Such a collaborative approach ensures that the scientific research keeps a focus on the various technological, economic and regulatory demands that influence the application framework. The outcome is a virtuous circle whereby science and application reinforce and enhance each other. There are three levels of CWTe participation.
This form of partnership involves a commitment to structural and shared funding in program(s) for a period of six years. Partners have the opportunity to exert their influence on the goals, development and structure of a particular program and to ensure that optimum support is provided to achieving the joint set of targets. There is an entry fee that provides free access to consultation on accumulated knowledge. This access is distributed according to the accumulated shares a partner holds.
This form of partnership concerns a commitment to individual projects and is by invitation only. Typically these projects are defined in cooperation with the project partner.
Research partner
A research partner has a similar role to that of internal CWTe groups in which roadmaps are aligned or shared. These are preferred partners in Dutch or European programs.
Joint control by program board
Each of the CWTe research programs has a program board. The program board is responsible for selecting the projects and project partners as well as drawing up a roadmap and program in which the project aims and procedures will be defined and detailed.

What's so great about this is that she "couldn't feel it" because it's a natural healer, unlike pharms where you have some nasty side effect to show it's "working".
Thanks for sharing this story. it's very inspiring! you truly have a kind heart.
Awww, Love that story, AMY!
Great Story. Loved it. I wish they would prescribe it to me here in the US, for fibro. No the insurance would rather give me Oxy, Dilaudid and all that other crap that makes me looney and sleepy all day then off to detox I go.
Wonderful story, beautiful. You did a great thing for "Gramcracker" introducing her to a medication unlike those she has had before. Cannabis truly is a natural miracle, put here for our use to help us. Stories like these will educate those who were previously taught "cannabis is bad, mmkay?". Thanks for posting this. & bigger thanks for putting yourself out there to help others. Two thumbs up.
I enjoyed reading this and truely agree that the benefits are outstanding! I have fibro, migraines, arthritis, and other medical problems and it helps so much more then narcotics prescribed. I wish they would do more studies and realize how cannibis would benefit people like me. You truely love this lady and have helped her lots. Thanks for putting your story out there for people to read. God bless you!!!
so many reasons why cannabis is good for seniors, our endocannabinoid system facilitates neurogenesis, the birth of neurons. Cannabis is neuroprotectant this means it is great for diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia.
And its anti-cancer! It should be available for anyone who needs it.
It's wonderful that you and Gram had the courage to explore this together for her well being! I am sharing this with my friends and family. Education is key and you've set a wonderful example, thanks!
So glad to hear it helped her. I know "Leigh" was concerned but I knew it would help her all along. Way't go Ameronda!! Luv ya!!
At the moment we have Private Cllubs with a medical area and we make oil and othe medical cannabis sustances like this.
U r a brave, intelligent, compassionate person. I admire and applaud u! I'd always heard about the "effects" that most ppl had after eating cooked cannabis food. I never got those effects. So, i just stopped bothering. I went too a cookout/dinner n there were krispy treats made with cannabis butter. I had been having a fibro flare that day, and i tried them. Again, i assumed it just didnt work for me....until i realized i had NO PAIN!!! I couldnt believe it! It actually had been working....just how i needed it too. We had a nice evening from then on and i finally felt normal for once! I wish people would just become more educated on the matter.
Great pic! 90 years young and looking fabulous. Where is the salad dressing recipe?
This is such an amazing story. My Mammy is almost 80, in between stages 3-4 of Alzheimer. I have been wanting to get her on some kind of natural medication, instead of the 20 pills she takes a day. Plus I have a friend who is in almost the same situation as myself, and her Gma started medicating over a year ago. Her mind has improved and she can remember things she hadn't thought of in years. I want this for my Mammy..... a way to know where she is and who she is with.
The taboos that follows this plant are outrageous. People need to start opening their eyes and seeing the natural is the way to go nowadays.

WHICH COUNTRY IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS?…. Via Laura Rozen, here's a blast from the fairly recent past: a November 2001 map from the State Department showing where al-Qaeda is active. I've cropped it down to the Middle East, and as you can see, virtually the entire area is awash in al-Qaeda activity.
With one prominent exception. Can you name the one major country in the entire Middle East that al-Qaeda was unable to operate in?

Q: How to view file actions (reads and writes) during a CI build on Github Actions? I am trying to track the file actions (reads and writes) (by using strace or inotifywait) performed by different steps of a job on a continuous integration workflow in Github Actions.
steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Maven resolve ranges
    run: ./mvnw versions:resolve-ranges -ntp -Dincludes='org.springframework:*,org.springframework.boot:*'

  - name: Cache Maven Repos
    uses: actions/cache@v2
    with:
      path: ~/.m2/repository
      key: ${{ runner.os }}-maven-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }}
      restore-keys: |
        ${{ runner.os }}-maven-

  - name: Set up JDK 8
    uses: actions/setup-java@v2
    with:
      distribution: 'temurin'
      java-version: 8

  - name: Build with Maven
    run: echo y | ./mvnw -B --no-transfer-progress clean install -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Drat.skip=true -Dcheckstyle.skip=true -Dspotless.apply.skip=true

  - name: Build examples with Maven
    run: echo y | ./mvnw -B -f examples/pom.xml clean package -DskipTests

As an illustration, in the example above, there are 6 steps, and I would like to keep track of file actions performed by each of them separately.
I believe I have two options;

*

*Tracking file actions in Github Servers

*Tracking file actions in my PC

In the first option, I probably have to write a plugin and add it to the workflow so that it can watch file actions on GitHub servers, and in the latter option, the challenge is simulating the workflow locally.
I found a tool (nektos/act) however, this tool simulates the workflow inside a docker container, so I am not sure if I can watch file actions inside a docker container.
Do you have any suggestions on which path I should follow?

IN-PERSON: Shawn Peters
Last year we welcomed Shawn Peters for his debut middle-grade series THE UNFORGETTABLE LOGAN FOSTER, and it's become a huge hit! We're so excited to welcome Shawn back to An Unlikely Story to launch the second book in the series, THE UNFORGETTABLE LOGAN FOSTER AND THE SHADOW OF DOUBT! There's no doubt this will be an epic event you won't want to miss! Shawn will talk all about everything Unforgettable Logan Foster, answer audience questions and sign books.
Tickets are $5 and can be used towards the purchase of either of Shawn's books at the event.
Logan Foster is not your average twelve-year-old! Not only is he a neurodivergent orphan with an eidetic memory, but his new foster parents also happen to be superheroes. In this second book in the series, Logan searches for the truth about how he became an orphan only to discover that the villain he's been running from may hold the key to unlocking his past.
After using his photographic memory to save the world, Logan Foster is finally settling into a new, more normal life with his superhero foster parents, Gil and Margie. But because of all the information still locked his brain, Logan is kept under tight observation by the Multinational Authority for Superhuman Control (MASC) in case Necros dares to return. But when Logan learns that Necros was there, at the airport, on the day Logan became an orphan, he has to wonder if MASC is hiding the truth about who his birth parent really is?
As superheroes mysteriously start going missing, it all points by back to one supervillain—and the posibility that Logan is more connected to her than he ever thought. Can Logan, along with his superstrong best friend Elena and their new friend Connie, uncover the truth, find the missing superheroes, and stop Necros from destroying the world before it's too late?
Packed with superheroes, supervillains, and epic showdowns between good and evil, super author Shawn Peters shows that sometimes it's not so easy to tell the differences between good guys and the bad ones.
Shawn Peters has spent more than two decades writing professionally for television and advertising. Married to a superhero public school teacher and a father of two kids, Shawn is a suburban-dad trope-fest. After years of coaching his kids' teams and playing old-man softball, he now spends his spare time jogging slowly, comparing IPAs with other dads, and making ultra-nerdy Dungeons and Dragons puns on Twitter under the handle @DnD_DadJokes.

In 'Pokémon Go' Craze, How Much Profit Does Nintendo Capture?
Questions linger on potential profit gains from smartphone game; Nintendo's shares soar
Nintendo's new smartphone game, Pokémon Go, has become an unexpected craze and it's translating in a spike of $9 billion in market value for the company. WSJ's Sarah Needleman discusses with Lee Hawkins. Photo: Nintendo

takashi.mochizuki@wsj.com
Updated July 13, 2016 9:26 am ET
TOKYO—Finding out where all the profits will go from the wildly popular "Pokémon Go" smartphone game is a search worthy of the game itself.
Nintendo Co. shares rose 13% to ¥22,840 ($222.16) in Tokyo trading Tuesday following a 25% surge on Monday, pushing the videogame maker's market capitalization above $30 billion.
The sudden change in Nintendo's fortunes rests on investors' anticipation for profits from "Pokémon Go," an application for smartphones in which players look for animated characters superimposed on real-life images on their phone screens. The app is free to download, and the revenue comes from purchases that players can make within the app, such as incense to lure the Pokémon creatures.
What isn't clear is how much of that revenue will flow to Nintendo's bottom line.
Niantic Inc., a closely held company in California that was spun out from Alphabet Inc.'s Google last year, is the developer and distributor of the game. The startup said in October 2015 that it had raised $20 million from Tokyo-based Pokémon Co., Google and Nintendo, with an additional $10 million investment possible if it achieved certain milestones. As is typical with startups, Niantic didn't disclose the precise ownership stakes held by its investors.


It's not rocket science. God did not create everything and then make it impossible to see that truth. It was never meant to be a giant cosmic question that only the smartest of the smartest would have a chance of understanding. We are not supposed to be waiting for the geniuses of our world to give us the answer to life's most important questions.
God did not hide the evidence of his existence. We are surrounded by it. It is everywhere. How sad mankind has become. We are drowning in a sea of evidence yet waiting for experts to tell us that; Yes, the water is wet.
We must work the problem for ourselves. 2+2=? There is nothing more to it. We don't need a calculator. We don't need high school algebra or college calculus. There are enough fingers on one of our hands to do the math. There is no reason to delay. Stop thinking about what other people say and think. We don't need their help. The answer comes to mind immediately. Let's speak it, right now. It couldn't be easier. We have to get past it because there are many great truths to explore but we can't move on if we can't admit the most basic truth of all: God Is.
You may ask; If this truth is so basic, why do so many millions or even billions of people say that God doesn't exist? If this supposed no-brainer truth is so obvious to everyone, why do so many say that our universe popped into existence out of nowhere and evolved into everything we know over billions of years? That is a good question. Why indeed?
People tend to believe or at least try to believe what they want to believe, often regardless of evidence to the contrary. Many of us would believe almost anything rather than admit there is a God. Believing in a God who made us and this universe we live in puts us squarely in this God's debt. It can be much easier to think that we belong to ourselves, that we are the master of our own domain. Because if there is a God, we owe everything to him, our past, present, and future. Essentially, believing in God means that we are not our own, that we must answer to him.
Knowing that we must answer to God for the lives he gave us to live can be terrifying or not depending on what we believe about this God's countenance towards us. But whether we believe God is mean and vengeful or loving and merciful, either way we are in his debt. I can't speak for anyone else but answering God's questions about the way I lived my life doesn't fill me with great anticipation.
If God made each one of us, then it stands to reason that he doesn't think that I am worth more than the guy I cut off in traffic yesterday, or the girl I yelled at that one time because she didn't get my coffee quick enough. It stands to reason that God expects me to treat others like I would want to be treated myself, and often, I haven't. I am pretty sure I am not alone.
Shame. That is what makes so many of us want to believe that there is no God we must answer to. It is easier to latch onto any idea that doesn't leave us in the debt of a God we don't know, easier than to face that we are not who we are created to be.
Stay tuned. Don't give up. A.J.


Sunday morning, right after the sun finally came up, I made it out to the Drive.
I was near the tail end of the dog walk for the day and I saw a massive pile of yellow flowers on the sidewalk. I found it amusing that in this little city, the rubbish on the sidewalk was flowers. Other cities it might not be so pleasant a pile but that is neither here nor there.
When I got to the trunk of the tree, my dog decided that she needed to sniff the thing. She did it for a very long time, so I looked up and got this view. Beautiful tree that had the sky almost completely blotted out with yellow blooms.
The blooms have all been fertilized on my citrus trees, the Mangos are starting to form on the tree near the house. This tree and the others like it have their time right now. For the meantime, I'll just enjoy them along the drive.

I am a courtesan of Cabernet, a mistress of Malbec, a harlot for Hermitage. WSET Advanced lady of the vine. Passionate about learning all I can from climate to cellar, with a special love for pairing gastronomic delights with sensual wines. Enjoy!
Six months ago I took the WSET Level II Intermediate course to further expand my knowledge of wines & spirits. As of last week, I hadn't received my certificate, but suspected I had passed the course. So I called up the course provider to see if they had the certificate, or knew whom I should contact to find out my course results. It turns out my certificate had been sitting there for months! Now the certificate is with me waiting to be hung on the wall, and I am so happy to see I did better than I thought I did: Pass with Distinction!
Two courses down, one more to go to reach my goal!

Since this is the second post about tips for new leaders, let's review the challenges. Achieving a new leadership position is both rewarding and challenging. It acknowledges that you are someone who can make a difference, lead others and get things done. On the other hand, it is perhaps another step toward more responsibility and provides greater visibility of your actions and style.
Whether you are new to a department, new to a company or just received a promotion, the challenges are very similar. It is important to establish your style, values and culture effectively and quickly. As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. So what are some techniques to quickly establish your leadership style and lead effectively?
In a previous post, I discussed techniques for gathering good information, building relationships and communicating.
From a foundation of reliable information, relationships at all levels and open communication, here are some tips to establish a culture of decisiveness, empowerment, action and accountability.
Here are some tips on how to set the tone for decisiveness, empowerment, action and accountability.
The job of a leader is to make decisions happen—not necessarily make all the decisions, but to ensure they happen. In fact, it is better for the strength of the organization if the leader does NOT make most of the decisions. When others are involved, empowered and delegated the task of making decisions, everyone learns, people are more engaged and the organization begins to have a culture of deciding instead of just identifying problems to discuss endlessly.
Look for Small Things: In various interactions within the organization, be alert for small items that are frustrations, inefficiencies or items holding people back. Ask "Who needs to be involved in changing the item?" Then delegate and empower the two or three people named to make the decision and take action. If the people involved cannot agree, then they can come back for guidance, but if they do agree, then it is done. Many times, there are small decisions that do not need senior management involvement. After all, those involved know more about it anyway. Delegating small decisions will set the tone for the organization, encourage others to decide and help establish an empowerment culture. Never underestimate the effect of taking action on small things.
Take Immediate Action on the Obvious: When you are the new leader, after many discussions you will find that there are some very well-known and recurring issues that have been around a long time. Many times everyone agrees about what needs to be done—so do it! If possible, delegate the responsibility. If delegation is not appropriate, then gather input from many, test your decision with them and decide. These items can be large or small, but deciding quickly will establish your style and send a message to the organization that decisions are encouraged.

Q: Compiling a file with two document classes Just out of curiosity: Is there a way to compile latex document with two document classes at once?
Suppose that I have a paper which start with line:
\documentclass[preprint,authoryear,12pt]{elsarticle}
But finally I would like to compile it with such line:
\documentclass[final,5p,times,twocolumn]{elsarticle}
Obviously I can replace these lines and compile file twice, but I wonder if there is any trick to avoid double compilation?

A: The easiest way is probably to create two dummy documents final.tex and draft.tex.
preprint.tex
\documentclass[preprint,authoryear,12pt]{elsarticle}
\input{main.tex}

final.tex
\documentclass[final,5p,times,twocolumn]{elsarticle}
\input{myfile.tex}

If you are using an IDE to compile make compiling the documents easier, there may be additional hoops to jump through (e.g., Kile: how to use shortcut to compile the root file directly?).

Pubs and restaurants could remain closed despite Britons getting coronavirus jab
Vaccine 'reduces' risk of spreading virus says expert
Today's Programme host Mishal Husain questioned whether the hospitality sector and others could open if they only admitted those that were vaccinated. The BBC host spoke to Professor of Paediatrics at Bristol University Adam Finn who argued the Government was unlikely to take this approach. He noted that they would attack this problem as a whole rather than grant special allowances to those that have had the coronavirus vaccination.
He explained this after Ms Husain played a clip of a restaurant owner calling for hospitality to open in the next month due to the increase in vaccinations.
The restaurant owner Andy Lennox said: "If you can get to a stage where somebody can say 'I have been vaccinated' and the Government concern of if you have been vaccinated you can't pass it on is found to be true, then why shouldn't hospitality be allowed to open?
"Basically in a months time, you could say anyone who is vaccinated can start rolling in.
"We are safe and very good at track and trace and if someone turned around to us and said 'I have got a system that can basically prove that this person has had a vaccine' then why couldn't hospitality open?
DON'T MISS: Boots opens vaccination hub today: Where is your nearest store?
"It would be safe and quick and potentially would save 100,000s of jobs"
The host asked the professor a hypothetical where it was found that if you had the vaccination you could not pass on the disease.
She asked: "What would be your view in opening sectors to people who can prove that they have had the jab?"
Professor Finn replied: "I think we will get some information on that at some point.
Jonathan Van-Tam says regular coronavirus jabs are likely
"But I think it is very unlikely that we will ever be able to say that had you had the vaccine it completely eliminates the risk of you transmitting the virus to someone else.
"I think it is much more probable that it reduces that risk, maybe very substantially.
"I think what we know about other vaccines and the little we know about these ones so far does not suggest that it is going to be a complete cast-iron guarantee.
"The way that one constructs these kinds of strategies is not thinking more about the individual but about the population at large."
Ms Husain added that the professor was predicting it would be unlikely for the Government to open the hospitality sectors for those that have been vaccinated.
She added that those who were vaccinated were not likely to receive greater freedoms during the pandemic.
Professor Finn replied: "I suppose what I am saying is that it can't be done on an individual basis.
"So, for example, person X has been immunised so they are not a risk so they can behave differently than person Y.
"It is more that by immunising the population at large then everyone can reduce their levels of distancing and isolation because the circulation of the virus, in general, has gone down to low levels.

Ohio Ku Klux Klan to be discussed at museum
Calendar, News
"Terrorizing Immigrants and Catholics: The Ohio Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s"2 p.m., Allen County Museum, 620 W. Market St., Lima. With Dr. William Trollinger.
LIMA — A talk titled "Terrorizing Immigrants and Catholics: The Ohio Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s" will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28, at the Allen County Museum, 620 W. Market St.
Speaker Dr. William Trollinger is in the history and religious studies departments at the University of Dayton.
Speaker: Dr. William Trollinger, University of Dayton
Place: Allen County Museum
Admission: Free and Open to the Public
In the aftermath of World War I, the U.S. underwent significant change. In 1920, the eighteenth and nineteenth amendments prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcohol, and gave women the right to vote. The diffusion of newer technologies, including the automobile and radio, allowed people and information to move faster. While some embraced change, others felt threatened and were unable to give up their wartime feelings of "hyper- nationalism" and mistrust.
Having virtually disappeared in the late nineteenth century, the Ku Klux Klan exploded onto the national scene in the early 1920s, with perhaps five million members at its peak. While the original Klan concentrated its animus against the newly freed slaves, this "second" KKK had an expanded list of social scapegoats that included immigrants, Jews, and Catholics. While the original Klan was based primarily in the South, the second Klan had its greatest numerical strength in the West and Midwest. In fact, Ohio may have had more KKK members than any other state in the Union, with an estimated 400,000 Klansmen and Klanswomen. In this presentation we will explore why the Klan was so strong in Ohio, what activities the Ohio Klan engaged in, and in what ways the folks targeted by the Klan fought back.
The Allen County Historical Society, in conjunction with the Ohio Humanities Council, is pleased to present Dr. William Trollinger, History and Religious Studies Departments at the University of Dayton. He is also director of UD's Core Integrated Studies Program, which features an innovative, five-semester interdisciplinary curriculum. Dr. Trollinger earned his Bachelors of Arts degree in English and History from Bethel College (MN) and his Master of Arts and Ph.D. in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research has focused on twentieth and twenty-first century American Protestantism, particularly fundamentalism, creationism, and Protestant print culture. His publications include God's Empire: William Bell Riley and Midwestern Fundamentalism (University of Wisconsin Press, 1990) and Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016), the latter which he co-authored with his wife, Susan Trollinger. He has also done a good deal of research on the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920s; one result of this work is "Hearing the Silence: The University of Dayton, the Ku Klux Klan, and Catholic Universities and Colleges" (American Catholic Studies, Spring 2013), for which he won the 2014 Catholic Press Award for Best Essay in a Scholarly Magazine. This program is free and open to the public.

In the Land of the Blind the One Eyed Man is King - or is he?
Written by Op-Ed Monty
Back in 1904, HG Wells wrote a short story about a man who stumbled into a forgotten kingdom where everyone was blind. He thought that would give him incredible power because he possessed something that they did not. The ability to see.
He soon learned that his gift of sight was seen by the villagers as an affliction of the brain that must be caused by two things on his head that he called eyes. They pitied him and, instead of being a gift, the eyes were perceived as a curse, an illness and a disturbance of his brain.
It did not take long before the man realised that, when surrounded by the blindness of ignorance, knowledge itself was an enemy to be ousted and eradicated.
How many of us today feel as though we have stumbled into a land of the blind and our ability to see is regarded as an evil affliction to be stamped and cut out?
HG Wells, author of such incredible works as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds and The Island of Dr Moreau, is described as a Socialist yet I often find myself wondering if he was more an ideologist than a Socialist? No matter what, his work was prophetic and he was a visionary.
His short story " In the Land of the Blind the One eyed Man is King " has been on my mind for some time now. Like George Orwell's " 1984 " and " Animal Farm " , CK Stead's " Smith's Dream " and the works of John Wyndham – " The Day of the Triffids " and The " Chrysalids " - all dealing with a future dwelling in the imaginings of people who lived 70 years or more ago.
Even CS Lewis had some words to say:
But, despite ( or in spite of ) the prophetic horror of the Big Brother Communist and or dictatorial regimes portrayed in these novels, HG Wells story stands out the most.
Because it speaks of the general populace who are blinded by acceptance of what they are taught and have become to believe as true.
THIS is the true worry: the fact that WE are now being seen as oddities in a world that WE see is insane.
I am, however, also moved by the writings of Rudyard Kipling. A man who was born in Bombay ( India ) on December 30th 1865. Kipling was a friend of Cecil Rhodes, of Lord Milner, and of Dr Jameson, on whose qualities the poem "If- " is said to have been based. Kipling foresaw the First World War and tried to alert the nation to the need for preparedness. He was involved in the work of the Imperial War Graves Commission, and King George V became a personal friend. His story is told in the movie " My Boy Jack"
In the New Yorker, Charles McGrath remarked
"Kipling has been variously labelled a colonialist, a jingoist, a racist, an anti-Semite, a misogynist, a right-wing imperialist warmonger; and—though some scholars have argued that his views were more complicated than he is given credit for—to some degree he really was all those things. That he was also a prodigiously gifted writer who created works of inarguable greatness hardly matters anymore, at least not in many classrooms, where Kipling remains politically toxic."
Kipling deserves his own article, one I shall write when time allows. But, for the moment, I wish to share with you his poem " The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon "
It made me wonder.
Are we getting close to being beyond the time of politeness? Are we becoming the Awakened Saxons - whether we be Australian, American, New Zealander, Canadian or other? Have we simply reached a point where the "Woke" has Awoken a slumbering Saxon?
Have we turned the cheek once too often? Have we grown tired of the blindfolded and masked?
Is it the case that the Land of the Blind is winning and we, the people blessed with sight and insight, are becoming the people perceived as insane?
Do we fear that they will cut out our metaphoric eyes if we are not careful and diligent?
Is it possible that, in the coming months, the Left will continue to seek us out and to blind us; to cut out our eyes and turn us into blind followers of a flawed system where the Media is censored; social media is censored and our views condemned, mocked and ridiculed....?

Home » BYOD » The XcodeGhost vulnerability shows that security needs to be baked into the development of apps
The XcodeGhost vulnerability shows that security needs to be baked into the development of apps
by Ben Rossi 9 October 2015
Both organisations and employees want to do more of their work via mobile apps. It's simply the direction the workforce is headed. The average employee has three different devices that he or she is working between; mobile apps make the working world a more convenient, productive and responsive place.
While organisations are quick to take advantage of the positive aspects of mobile, they're struggling to keep up with the amount of app development and app expertise that's needed to power an app workforce.
Gartner says that the demand for enterprise mobile apps will outstrip available development capacity five to one. The result? Enterprises either aren't properly equipped to be developing the apps that they're releasing, or they become heavily dependent on hiring outside resources to build and update these apps or employees are choosing their own apps.
> See also: The checklist for enterprise mobile apps that are flexible yet secure
This environment is troubling for a few reasons. First, app developers in general, not just enterprise app developers, don't prioritise security as they're building apps. While apps are rapidly developed and deployed for productivity, they often leave behind holes that can be exploited.
We've seen this in the consumer world, and we see it in enterprise as well. Second, the problem isn't just that these apps are floppy on security, it's also the fact that organisations are welcoming apps through the front door without adequate endpoint protection in place.
How your app developers value security
In March, Ponemon Institute and IBM released a study that examines how 400 large organisations develop mobile apps, and how secure they are. According to the report, 73% of respondents say they lack training or understanding of secure coding practices with mobile apps. Meanwhile, the 'rush to release' is felt by 77% of respondents.
When asked what was most important in app development, IT professionals reported user experience to be the top priority (44%), followed by ease of development (24%), performance (15% and security (11%), trailed only by scalability (6%).
It sets a bad precedent when security is not prioritised or baked into the design and development of apps.
Take the recently revealed XcodeGhost mobile threat. Developers unwittingly added malicious code to their applications after using a repackaged version of Apple's development environment Xcode.
The creators of this malicious version of Xcode distributed it through Chinese forums where downloading would be much faster than if developers were to download the legitimate tool from Apple's website. Putting convenience over security, the developers wound up downloading the malicious tool and creating a big security headache for themselves and others.
Following the money: where's the security?
At the highest level, businesses prioritise app development over app security from a resourcing and investment perspective.
Enterprises spend an average of £22 million on mobile app development per year, yet a meagre six percent of this, or £1.3 million, is earmarked for security purposes according to Ponemon for IDG.
Perhaps even more concerning, the study found that 50% of companies devote none of their mobile app development budget to security, while 40% said they weren't scanning their mobile apps for vulnerabilities.
This tells you that it's not just security at the app development stage that's de-prioritised, we also see a lack of investment with endpoint security of mobile apps. Businesses have started to enforce BYOD and mobile device management (MDM) policies that help prevent insecure apps being downloaded from untrusted sources or prevent unsecured networks.
But at the heart of it, these solutions don't tell you if an app is malicious. Whether you've sideloaded an app or downloaded one from the app store, in this environment where apps aren't developed with security as a priority, you need mobile threat protection to highlight what is risky and malicious.
App-centric workforce demands better security
Is there sufficient security baked into today's app-centric workplace? No. Does this bring risk to the enterprise? Yes.
Mobile security firm Lookout recently ran a survey with IDG, connecting with 100 IT leaders from global organisations, and found that a staggering 74% of respondents had already experienced a breach via mobile. Of those respondents, 38% reported that the breach was caused by apps with security vulnerabilities and 32% due to apps with malware.
Mobile threats and malware can enter an organisation in a variety of methods, whether or not a workforce app is developed with security best practices. But in this environment, where we know that the rush to release apps introduces increased risk, what should organisations be doing?
Enterprises must have visibility of devices connecting to their network and visibility of all installed apps in order to spot malicious capabilities or vulnerabilities tied to those mobile devices. This doesn't mean using MDM solutions in isolation, but also having a security layer complementing that.
> See also: What about the cloud apps? Why controlling them is the key to business-friendly BYOD
But it's not all doom and gloom here. We are seeing that organisations are starting to take action. The IT leaders surveyed in the IDG report recognise the risks and are making it a priority to invest in security solutions that protect mobile devices and in turn, the data they access and store via mobile apps.
They recognise that data shifting to mobile and mobile apps puts them at greater risk and are therefore prioritising mobile security investments.
We need parity between development and deployment on the one hand and security on the other. Hopefully this is the beginning of that equilibrium.

You will need to make several decisions about shipping your product.
First, you will need to determine your shipping address. For home based businesses, you can choose to use your home address or rent a mail box. You probably don't want customers showing up at your home. So in most cases it is probably better to rent a mail box.
You can rent a US Post Office box, a UPS mail box or a mail box offered by a third party. They come in a variety of sizes and prices. It is good to shop around as prices vary from one location to another even for a post office box.
I found that renting the US Post Office box is the least expensive option. In many locations in New Jersey, it costs $46 for the smallest size mail box for a period of 6 months. The UPS Store nearby had asked for $19.95 per month. When choosing the location of your mail box, it is better to have it closer to where you live.
In addition to the cost of the mail box, the other consideration is the actual cost of shipping. USPS offered lower and more simplified price structure with its flat rate delivery for priority mail across the US.
One other thing to remember is that UPS will not deliver to a PO box.
Overall shipping using USPS and renting a PO box offers a good alternative for home based businesses.

Billy Graham: Pastor to Presidents
By BGEA • February 2, 2018
Billy Graham has often said, "Whether the story of Christ is told in a huge stadium, across the desk of a powerful leader, or shared with a golfing companion, it satisfies a common hunger. All over the world, whenever I meet people face-to-face, I am made aware of this personal need among the famous and successful, as well as the lonely and obscure."
Every U.S. President since World War II has met with Billy Graham. Both Johnson and Nixon, the two who probably sought him the most, offered him high positions in government — which he quickly and politely refused.
Here are short snippets of their stories:
Harry S. Truman — In 1950 a congressman called Billy and asked, "Would you like to meet the President?" Without any briefing on protocol, he agreed and went in with three colleagues and spoke with President Truman, who told Billy he lived by the Sermon on the Mount. Before he left, the two prayed together. Years later, Truman warmly received Billy at his home in Independence, Missouri.
Dwight D. Eisenhower — "Eisenhower was the first President that really asked my counsel in depth when he was sending troops into Little Rock," said Mr. Graham. Just before Eisenhower died, Billy was invited to see him at Walter Reed Hospital. After talking again about assurance of salvation, the two men prayed. Eisenhower then said he was ready to die.
"Billy Graham is one of the best ambassadors our country has but he told me, 'I am an ambassador of heaven.'" — Dwight D. Eisenhower
John F. Kennedy — Four days before he was inaugurated as President, John Kennedy invited Mr. Graham to spend the day with him in Palm Beach. "We drove around in JFK's white Lincoln convertible," said Billy. "During our conversations, I became aware that he was concerned about the moral and spiritual condition of the nation." During Kennedy's funeral service in the Capitol rotunda, Billy stood about 30 feet from Mrs. Kennedy and the family, and thought about the brevity of life and how people must prepare to meet God.
Lyndon B. Johnson — There was a spiritual side to Lyndon Johnson that many people did not know. Billy was probably closer to Johnson than to any other President. He was invited to the family ranch several times and spent more than 20 nights at the White House during Johnson's administration. Every time Billy would say to him, "Let's have a prayer," the President would get on his knees to pray.
"My mind went back to those lonely occasions at the White House when your friendship helped to sustain a President in an hour of trial." — Lyndon Johnson in a letter to Billy Graham
Richard M. Nixon — President Nixon and Billy had been personal friends since 1950. Nixon was a private and complex person, but beneath the surface, Billy found him to be warm and compassionate, quite different from popular caricatures. He was rooted in the teachings and prayers of his Quaker faith. Often he asked Billy to pray with him and read the Bible when he would visit. In the last year of Nixon's presidency, Billy did not get to see him. Someone on the White House later relayed that Nixon said, "Don't let Billy Graham near me, I don't want him tarred with Watergate."
Gerald R. Ford — Answering critics of his relationship with Billy, Gerald Ford said, "I've heard the comments from some sources that Billy mixes politics with religion. I never felt that and I don't think that thousands and thousands of people who listen to him felt that. Billy dropped by the Oval Office on several occasions while I was President. They were get-togethers of old friends. They had no political or other significance."
Jimmy Carter — "Billy and Ruth Graham have been to visit us both in the governor's mansion in Georgia and in the White House," said Jimmy Carter. "His reputation is above reproach or suspicion." Back in 1966, Carter chaired a BGEA film crusade in Americus, Ga., and when he was governor, served as an honorary chairman of the Atlanta Crusade.
Ronald W. Reagan — Billy met Ronald Reagan a year after he married Nancy. The two remained close friends. "I remember when Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild, a union leader, and a very strong Democrat," Billy said. On March 30, 1981, after the assassination attempt on President Reagan's life, Billy flew immediately to Washington, D.C., to comfort and pray with Mrs. Reagan, and do anything he could for the President.
"It was through Billy Graham that I found myself praying even more than on a daily basis … and that in the position I held, that my prayers more and more were to give me the wisdom to make decisions that would serve God and be pleasing to Him." — Ronald Reagan
George H. W. Bush — Mr. Graham has said he found George H.W. Bush easy to talk to about spiritual issues, "easier than other Presidents I have met. He says straight out that he has received Christ as his Savior and that he is a born-again believer." Billy was with President and Barbara Bush at the White House in 1991, the night that the Gulf War began. "Billy Graham has been an inspiration in my life," said Bush. "It is my firm belief that no one can be President … without understanding the power of prayer, without faith. And Billy Graham helped me understand that."
William J. Clinton — President Bill Clinton once recalled, "When I was a small boy, about 12 years old, Billy Graham came to Little Rock, Arkansas, to preach a Crusade." Mr. Graham would not agree to segregate the audience racially, which made an impression on the young boy. When he was governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton joined Billy Graham at a Little Rock Crusade in 1989. Mr. Graham also visited Clinton in the Oval Office after he became President.
"Billy and Ruth Graham have practiced the ministry of … being friends with Presidents of both parties … always completely private, always completely genuine." — William J. Clinton
George W. Bush — In his 1999 campaign autobiography, "A Charge to Keep," George W. Bush said a turning point in his faith came during a private talk with Billy Graham along the coast of Maine in 1985. Graham's words planted the "mustard seed in my soul" that eventually led to a decision to "recommit my heart to Jesus Christ," he wrote.
Barack Obama — President Barack Obama visited Billy Graham at his Montreat, N.C. home at the end of his weekend mountain vacation in April 2010. He is the first sitting president to meet with Graham at his home, where the two of them had a private prayer time and some conversation. A White House spokesman said that the president was "extraordinarily gratified that he (Mr. Graham) took the time to meet with him." Mr. Graham said he was pleased to have had the president visit his home.
Donald J. Trump — Billy Graham met Donald Trump at the evangelist's 95th birthday celebration on November 7, 2013. Trump and his wife, Melania, joined hundreds of guests at the event in watching a showing of "The Cross," a short evangelistic film featuring a message of hope and redemption from Billy Graham, interwoven with life-changing testimonies.

Oakland Athletics Roundup: Updates on Coco Crisp, Ben Zobrist and More
The Oakland Athletics have had a busy week, including plenty of transactions and a series win against the Padres. Catch up with the weekend edition of the Swingin' A's roundup:
In our most popular article of the week, Andrew Dambrauskas looked at the A's pickup of Dayan Viciedo and analyzed the ramifications of that move for Coco Crisp.
Casey Witt talked about a few potential trades that could happen as the deadline approaches, and why the A's deserve more than the Nationals can give them for Ben Zobrist and Tyler Clippard.
Meanwhile, Andrew explained why the A's are better than their record, and dissected why Billy Butler is just not a good fit for Oakland.
Transactions and Trades:
On Friday, the Athletics designated Andy Parrino for assignment to make room on the roster for first baseman Ike Davis. Parrino had just eight plate appearances in 17 games, with a pair of walks and five strikeouts.
Davis, who had been on the disabled listed with a left quad strain since May 13, played five rehab games with Triple-A Nashville before returning to the majors. Davis had five hits in 21 at-bats, with a double and five RBIs.
Reliever Edward Mujica gave up a grand slam in his first appearance after returning from the DL on Friday. Previously, Mujica had pitched two games with the Stockton Ports on his rehab assignment, striking out four in two perfect innings of work. To make room for Mujica, reliever Arnold Leon was optioned to the Sounds again.

Last week, Oakland activated A.J. Griffin and optioned him to Nashville to begin his return to the major leagues. Griffin, who had been on the 60-day disabled list after having Tommy John surgery last season, has not pitched well so far. In two outings, he's allowed seven runs – including an astonishing five home runs in less than eight innings.
Double-A Midland will send eight future Athletics to the Texas League All-Star Game, including top prospect Matt Olson. Five of the players were originally voted in, while three others will serve as alternates for players who have already been called up and can no longer participate.
