Growing numbers of "electromagnetic hypersensitive" (EHS) people worldwide self-report severely disabling, multiorgan, non-specific symptoms when exposed to low-dose electromagnetic radiations, often associated with symptoms of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and/or other environmental "sensitivity-related illnesses" (SRI). This cluster of chronic inflammatory disorders still lacks validated pathogenetic mechanism, diagnostic biomarkers, and management guidelines. We hypothesized that SRI, not being merely psychogenic, may share organic determinants of impaired detoxification of common physic-chemical stressors. Based on our previous MCS studies, we tested a panel of 12 metabolic blood redox-related parameters and of selected drug-metabolizing-enzyme gene polymorphisms, on 153 EHS, 147 MCS, and 132 control Italians, confirming MCS altered (P < 0.05–0.0001) glutathione-(GSH), GSH-peroxidase/S-transferase, and catalase erythrocyte activities. We first described comparable—though milder—metabolic pro-oxidant/proinflammatory alterations in EHS with distinctively increased plasma coenzyme-Q10 oxidation ratio. Severe depletion of erythrocyte membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids with increased ω6/ω3 ratio was confirmed in MCS, but not in EHS. We also identified significantly (P = 0.003) altered distribution-versus-control of the CYP2C19∗1/∗2 SNP variants in EHS, and a 9.7-fold increased risk (OR: 95% C.I. = 1.3–74.5) of developing EHS for the haplotype (null)GSTT1 + (null)GSTM1 variants. Altogether, results on MCS and EHS strengthen our proposal to adopt this blood metabolic/genetic biomarkers' panel as suitable diagnostic tool for SRI.
Our findings will hopefully contribute, in combination with the so-far putative genetic-risk factors, a better molecular definition of environmental-borne sensitivity-related illnesses and a tool to discriminate single SRI comorbidities, based on sufficiently proven molecular evidences able to gain clinical consensus.

"Jenny was getting ill and so was I. I did some research and found how dangerous WiFi could be so I had it taken out of the house. Both Jenny and I were fine at home but Jenny continued to be ill at school in certain areas.
Well worth seeing is the TODAY TV program featuring Dr. Devra Davis on mobile phone and Wi-FI dangers (link below). Dr. Davis has been lecturing in Australia on this issue much to the chagrin of folks at ACEBR. They are the ones who consistently take the line that its all just a nocebo effect and all we need to do is to stop worrying.

The unprotected mold plate showed a dramatic increase in the number of biotoxins produced – more than 600 times! Dr. Klinghardt concludes that indoor mold contaminants as well as other biotoxins (such as those found in Lyme Disease), are highly sensitive to electromagnetic fields. EMFs therefore easily step up neurotoxin production and have a major impact on the immune system.
Several points I have made about APS's toxic "smart" meter boondoggle have been verified once again. Last week I received news from an alert Phoenix couple that APS was already replacing all the "smart" meters it had installed in their neighborhood only seven years previous.
Upon hearing this news I phoned APS and learned that APS has hired subcontractors from a company headquartered in Virginia called Apex Covantage to replace all of APS's Elster brand "smart" meters with Landis & Gyr ones. The explanation I was given for this so-called "upgrade" is that the 2G cellular system that the Elsters use will soon be obsolete. APS informed me that they intend to change out the "smart" meters in their entire service territory by December of next year.
With roughly 1.2 million customers, this so-called "upgrade" will be quite a payday for APS.
The so-called "upgrade" is really an upgrade to APS's rate base.
The rate base is the sum total of APS's expenditures on which by law APS gets a guaranteed rate of return. In other words, the more APS spends, the more money they make. The enormous and never ending costs of the "smart" grid are why customers always get a hefty rate increase whenever and wherever the "smart" grid is installed. Count on a sizable rate increase at APS's next rate case.
I have long made the point to the corrupt and incompetent Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC), who are supposed to be regulating APS, that APS has a perverse incentive to spend money, and that this perverse incentive was a motivating factor behind APS's "smart" grid boondoggle. I proved that the "smart" grid would never pencil out for ratepayers by providing the ACC with the statements of several state attorneys general who had done cost/benefit analyses, a cost/benefit by accounting firm Ernst & Young for Germany, and an evaluation by Massachusetts' largest utility. I also provided the ACC with plenty of examples of utilities that had received rate increases after installing the "smart" grid. The ACC cared not.
"Electro-Mechanical Meters typically lasted 30 years and more. Electronic AMI meters are typically envisioned to have a life span of fifteen years and given the pace of technology advances in metering are not expected to last much longer than this. This means entire systems are envisioned to be exchanged every fifteen years or so."
There's a big financial difference between meters that last "30 years and more" and meters – plus "entire systems" – that "are envisioned to be exchanged every fifteen years or so," especially when the meters that last half as long cost about 10 times more!
Even a 15 year lifespan is probably wishful thinking. APS has admitted to replacing 32,000 faulty "smart" meters from January 1st through August 31st in 2014 alone (see p. 4 here: http://images.edocket.azcc.gov/docketpdf/0000156835.pdf ).
The ACC has lost sight of the fact that APS has an incentive to spend money since they get a guaranteed return on their rate base. All of the above should have been considered before the first "smart" meter was installed.
As it turns out, APS's Elster "smart" meters did not even last 15 years. The ones just replaced in Phoenix lasted 7 years. APS's Elster "smart" meters installed in Sedona and the Verde Valley in 2014 will end up being replaced in 2016, a two year life. Be sure to thank the corrupt and incompetent ACC when your electric bill increases to pay for this foolish, colossal waste, waste that the ACC was warned about repeatedly but, negligently, only encouraged.
By the way, Gaines is not a "smart" meter critic. His company uses "smart" meters (not the Elster brand), and his company got a federal "stimulus" grant for them.
APS's new Landis & Gyr "smart" meters will be transmitting microwave radiation at roughly four times the strength of the Elsters, a 300% increase. So watch for more people getting sick, and watch for more interference with other wireless stuff. For example, our ceiling fans are already getting their speed and direction adjusted – thanks to our neighbor's APS "smart" meter – from a distance of more than 30 yards away. I wonder what else we'll have to look forward to when our neighbors get their "upgrade."
By the way, using a Gigahertz Solutions HF35C microwave analyzer, I have measured the microwave radiation of our neighbor's APS "smart" meter from inside our house. In our house it is three times the intensity of the microwave radiation that the huge cell towers one half mile away on Airport Mesa transmit into our house. So, utility claims of how weak "smart" meter microwave radiation is are just lies.
The explanation I was given by APS – the one about the 2G cellular network becoming obsolete – could be a reason for APS to replace its collector "smart" meters (what APS calls "Gatekeepers"), but not all its "smart" meters everywhere. According to previous statements by APS, there is roughly one Gatekeeper for every 500 regular, or "Node," "smart" meters. The Gatekeepers collect the data from the other 500 and send it to APS via the 2G network. Since Node meters don't use 2G to communicate, and since Landis & Gyr and Elster are compatible as far as communication goes, it would not be necessary for APS to replace any of its Elster Node "smart" meters, just the Gatekeepers. So, typically, APS's explanation is sorely lacking. Perhaps APS will not even be using any Gatekeepers or cellular system at all. Many other utilities use pole mounted routers and repeaters, and have no need for Gatekeepers or the cellular system.
One explanation for the "upgrade" not given by APS but obvious to me is that the new Landis & Gyr "smart" meters have an additional microwave radio transceiver, something the Elsters did not have. Zigbee microwave radio transceivers are in the new Landis & Gyr "smart" meters to communicate with your "smart" appliances in the so-called Home Area Network (HAN). Don't have any "smart" appliances? That doesn't matter; the Zigbee may still be calling for them 24/7/365.
"... the HAN radios in the smart meters periodically issue a very brief signal lasting approximately1.75 ms once every 15 seconds plus a group of four closely spaced signals once per minute for a total of eight pulse emissions per minute. These signals are presumably related to the HAN radio searching for IHDs [In Home Devices] in the vicinity that have been commissioned to wirelessly connect to the meter. This characteristic of the HAN radios ... means that one expects to observe periodic pulsed signals from the radio even if there is no IHD in range; in the case of multiple meters located together, as in a meter bank, more pulsed signals should be observed over time simply due to the greater number of meters, each sending out a periodic signal.
In other words, in addition to the four times more intense microwave transmissions of the new Landis & Gyr "smart" meters, another layer of microwave radiation may be added on top of that to pollute people's environments – at least 8 times per minute (11,520 times per day) – and much, much more for those living near banks of meters.
Looking for work? With just one to two weeks training, you can make $32.61/hr. as a "smart" meter installer for APS's subcontractor, Apex Covantage! See their online ad here: http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Apex-CoVantage/jobs/Meter-Installer-9c5a9473f0a1982e?sjdu=QwrRXKrqZ3CNX5W-O9jEvZCOgIjHMX8i3TwzvkIGNA2u-WecIicAgsSvG56GM9y_d777tpREBQkcpBfVoPu3KkXOq91dk4BBtkjBTUDq0Gw .
The use of subcontractors in other states to install "smart" meters has a sorry record of rushed and substandard work. As of this writing I have not been able to ascertain if Apex installers, in addition to their salary, are working on a daily quota or worse, an incentive plan whereby the more meters they install the more money they make. Such a system has seen widespread use in other states, and has resulted in shoddy, dangerous work.
Bottom line question: Do you trust someone inexperienced and with one to two weeks of training – and quite possibly in a rush – to thoroughly inspect your meter clips or meter box wiring before installing an APS "smart" meter? I know I don't.
The Phoenix couple who brought APS's statewide "smart" meter "upgrade" to my attention also caught the subcontractors in the act of replacing the meter of one of their neighbors (a recent cancer survivor) who had refused a "smart" meter and so did not have one, but who was not at home to protest the subcontractors' violation. Despite being told of their mistake by the Phoenix couple, the subcontractors refused to stop installation, neither did they leave a note or door-hanger informing the homeowner of the switch.
That scenario has been played out by APS repeatedly in the past. Even former ACC commissioner Brenda Burns had a "smart" meter installed at her home despite her notifying APS not to install one. I expect such incompetence to only increase with the employment of these subcontractors.
Warning: If you have refused a "smart" meter already, be sure to keep an eye on your existing meter. You may find Apex has come when you weren't home and changed yours. We are only at the beginning of this latest chapter in the Great APS Toxic "Smart" Meter Boondoggle and it's already happened.
Lastly, recall that people who refuse "smart" meters have been constantly framed as "cost causers" by both APS and the ACC. Over the years I have proved that's not in the least bit true, and that in actual fact people who refuse "smart" meters should be getting a refund for subsidizing "smart" meters and a "smart" grid they don't want and never asked for. Now, with the epic fail of APS's Elster "smart" meters, can there be any doubt about who the real "cost causers" are? They are APS and their enablers, the ACC.
P.S. – When ACC commissioner Doug Little was on his APS money-lined campaign trail, one of my contacts who heard Little at a campaign event told me that Little, in response to a question about "smart" meters, said removal of "smart" meters already installed would be too expensive to undertake. It should be quite obvious now that Little's statement was a lie.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland's Public Service Commission has ordered BGE to cut in half its monthly fee to customers who opt out of having smart meters installed in their homes or small businesses.
The monthly opt out rate will be reduced to $5.50, from $11, beginning in January, the commission said Tuesday in a news release.

Alicia Mitchell was 15 years old when her father sued Motorola Inc., alleging the company's cellphones caused his brain tumor. She'll turn 30 in February and the lawsuit is still winding its way through court.
Representatives for Motorola and the other defendants referred questions to the CTIA, the wireless industry trade group, which said in a statement that "peer-reviewed scientific evidence has overwhelmingly indicated that wireless devices do not pose a public health risk for adults or children."
So far, the cases have mostly been a battle over legal procedure, not science. Ms. Mitchell's father's lawsuit, Murray v. Motorola, faces another testTuesday when the sides argue over what legal standard should be applied when evaluating evidence brought by scientists.
The case is being closely watched, as it would have ramifications not only for what evidence could be admitted in other cellphone cases, but it could also set a new precedent in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Ms. Mitchell's father, Michael Murray, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1999, after spending several years working at Motorola as a handset technician. He and his wife sued Motorola in 2001. He died in 2003.
Jeffrey Morganroth, a lawyer representing the Murrays, has brought several other cases against Motorola and other defendants. A total of 13 cases have been consolidated into the Murray case, and the plaintiffs are seeking more than $1.9 billion in damages combined.
In filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, cellphone manufacturers and wireless carriers specifically acknowledge the risk posed by health-related lawsuits. "We may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits," Verizon wrote in its 2015 annual filing. "In addition, we may be required to pay significant awards or settlements."
Through the years, the Murray case has withstood several motions to dismiss and an effort to transfer it to federal court.In August 2014, Judge Frederick H. Weisberg of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia ruled that testimony from five scientists could be admitted to the trial.
The defendants appealed, arguing the court should have used a different legal standard, known as Daubert, when deciding whether to admit the testimony from scientists. Judge Weisberg relied on a evidentiary standard known as Frye. On Tuesday, a panel of judges at the District of Columbia Court of Appeals is expected to hear oral arguments on the matter. Under the Frye standard, the court may only look at the methodology researchers use to determine whether their testimony can be admitted. Under the Daubert standard, judges have more discretion to consider other factors.
"This is a marathon," said Mr. Morganroth, the lawyer for the Murrays. Eight of the plaintiffs in other cases have died while the lawsuits have been pending, he said. A decision in favor of Motorola and the other defendants, which are pushing for the Daubert standard, would send ripples beyond the Murray lawsuit. Seventeen of the other cellphone-health cases are stayed pending a ruling in this case.
Judge Weisberg wrote in his August 2014 decision that testimony from the scientists he found admissible under Frye would "almost certainly be excluded under Daubert."
"The consensus throughout the scientific community is that the present state of science does not permit any definitive answer to the question of whether cellphone, [radio-frequency] radiation causes cancer or any other adverse health effects," Judge Weisberg wrote in that decision.

Thousands of studies have been published in peerreviewed biomedical journals. And so many of these studies are finding biological effects of concern that immediate responsive action is warranted.
One afternoon in 1993, Mark Donohue laid down for a nap and woke up in crippling pain. His head throbbed, his heart raced, his fatigue was bone-crushing. He figured whatever was wrong with him would eventually pass.
What is troubling is that rather than a broad discussion about the potential new uses of technology along with the potential risks and pitfalls, the dialogue is one-sided and misleading.
The symptoms I experienced of nose bleeds, vertigo, dizziness, migraines, heart palpitations, involuntary muscle cramping disappeared the day they replaced the smart meter with a mechanical meter, manually read, per our demand. This was July 2012. It will be three years that the symptoms have not re-appeared.

Assigned to pay a handicapped adult allowance to an electrosensitive person in July 2015, the MDPH had appealed. It has just been rejected, confirming the "situation of disability".
By Handicap.fr / Emmanuelle Dal'Secco the Talk 27-10-2015 on this article!
In July 2015, the French courts had recognized the existence of a serious disability due to hypersensitivity to electromagnetic waves, which had forced Marine Richard, 39, to live in the mountains and to become desocialized (article link below below). A judgment of the Dispute at the Tribunal for inability in Toulouse had confirmed, after medical expertise in support, that the complainant was suffering from a syndrome whose "description of the clinical signs is irrefutable." She then obtained the payment of AAH (adult disability allowance) in the amount of 800.65 euros per month.
But the MDPH (Departmental Centre for the Disabled) appealed; it has just been rejected. The judgment stating the "syndrome of hypersensitivity to electromagnetic waves" and functional impairment of Marine Richard, estimated at 85%, is therefore definitively confirmed!
Patricia Burke noted, "Massachusetts has abundant scientific, medical, and intellectual resources to be able to determine whether chronic inescapable exposures to pulsed radio frequencies and power line technologies are causing biological harm, including the onset of disabling electromagnetic hypersensitivity.
Any and all plans to implement Wi-Fi or cell phone towers within the Sequim city limits are on hold.
The Sequim City Council approved a six-month moratorium on wireless communication support towers on Oct. 26 via a 5-1 vote with councilor Dennis Smith opposed and Ken Hays absent.
The moratorium went into immediate effect and includes all zones except public facility zones, according to Ordinance 2015-018.
In Green Bank, West Virginia, there are no cell phones or even Wi-Fi because the town is home to one of the most powerful telescopes in the world, which is incredibly sensitive to Wi-Fi signals. TODAY's Sheinelle Jones reports.

Company to Blanket City Streets With WiFi Connected "Smart Pavement"
So what happens when your entire city becomes one giant WiFi signal?
Telecom giant Virgin Media has been given the green light to begin doing just that. Coverage will be enabled by "discreet street furniture" and the "UK's first Smart Pavement."
There are online tutorials instructing people how to "hack" their own smart meter to lower their power, but that could also be used for more nefarious purposes. Tabuns said there are international examples: in Puerto Rico in 2010, hacked smart meters cost electricity companies $400 million in lost revenue. It might sound like Robin Hood, but Tabuns said we all end up paying in the long run. A BBC report found smart meters in Spain could both be hacked to cut power bills, but also to potentially disrupt the whole grid.
Why are the authorities ignoring the dangers? Sharon Noble, Director of Stop Smart Meters in British Columbia is interviewed.
Commissioner Lynn Stamiris, 1st Ward, is in favor of terminating the forgiveness program and hopes the new commissioners don't derail those efforts.
Bay City wants to put a device that emits a 'possible carcinogen' into every home. Perhaps they should change the name from 'The Forgiveness Program' to the 'Bay City Cancer Causing Program' or 'The Bay City Harm To Health Program'.
Are these civic leaders receiving bribes to do such a stupid thing, or are they just plain stupid? Why are they not reading the science which shows these devices are dangerous. Why are they not looking at the harm that has been found in other jurisdictions, where smart meters have been installed?
Smithville residents attending a recent citizen-led meeting at Central School were vocal in their desire to opt out of having a smart meter, which would monitor water and electrical use, installed at their home.
Those against the digital utility meters at the Nov. 5 forum were even more adamantly against the move after two speakers gave presentations on potential health hazards.
At a citizen-led forum last week, many raised concerns over higher rate charges during high-usage times, fire hazards, potential for cyber-attacks to the electric grid, personal information being stolen, remote disconnect and health concerns.

"There are so many little things you can do that make a difference and it doesn't mean that you can't have access to the internet," said conference organiser Skeena Rather.
She explained that there is evidence that the non-ionising radiation emitted by wifi affects our central nervous system, and could cause nausea, headaches and other systems.
We just caught Danish Cancer Society in a serious lie!
"It has long been speculated whether the radiation from mobile phones increases the risk of cancer, but there are currently no studies that show that this is the case.".
Wow! We contacted the TV-channel and they immediately removed the false statement and apologized in the article that the part about cellphones had not been factual. So now the TV-news editors have to come to terms with the factthat D.C.S has mislead them! We then called D.C.S and asked them to publicly inform that their quote was false, because people that read the original article got wrong impression that cellphones are cancer-risk free. Theycompletely refused to do so.
We then called Christoffer Johanssen, told him the quote and he responded by saying: "D.C.S is just an NGO with a political agenda". Yes, those were his real words. He's distancing himself from D.C.S!
(google-translate and see bottom of article for the editors note. Note that the top graphic still shows a cellphone but all mention of cellphones is removed from the article text).
The Editor note with google translation: "Because there are divergent studies about whether mobile phone radiation can cause cancer, the editors have removed this point, after the article was published."
A study (in Pediatrics) of 350 parents who visited the public hospital in Philadelphia at the end of 2014: 97% of them owned TV, most of them had also tablets (83%) and smartphones (77%). More than half had also game devices (56%), computers (58%) and access to the internet.
97% of the children to these parents were using cell phones, 44% of the children under the age of 1 year used cell phones daily in order to play, watch video games or use different applications, and the percents increased to 77% at the age of 2 years old.
28% of the 2 years old knew how to control the cell phones by themselves without help, and about 61% had to receive help once in a while. Half of the 4 year old did not need help at all in activating the cell phone. Parents reported that they enabled their children to use the cell phone to calm them down in public places. 28% of the parents reported that they used cell phone in order to put the child to sleep.
Children psychologist, Dr. Shai Chen: "There are thousands of Apps for children under 2 years old, promising to improve the development of the child and his coordination. It seems that the child enjoys, the parent many times receives some silence, and the child learns to use advanced technologies, and it seems that everyone is satisfied. But in recent years we know that the influence of smartphone use in young ages is tough and has long term effects. The smartphone use replaces the human contact. Children who use it for long term and continuously, have more problems in creating personal contacts and friendships. There are significant difficulties in personal communication, that causes to distress and it increases the will of the child to run away from the external world and focus on the smartphone".
"The continuous use of smartphone can cause harm to eyesight and orthopedic damage. Also the connection of the child is harmed, and instead of creating interaction and quality time with the parent, the child passes the time in front of the screen. Studies even showed that smartphone can encourage ADHD, and harm sleep quality because of the light emitted from the smartphone screen".
So when is it recommended to enable the child to use cell phone or a tablet? Dr. Chen Gal recommends avoiding exposing the child to these devices before the age of 3: "If anyway you expose him the it is needed to make sure it's maximum for an hour, to make sure that the smartphone use does not come at the expense of other activities of the child, not to enable the use of smartphone during meals or while all the family is together. "It is important that the parents understand that the use of smartphone can cause damage, and part of their responsibility as parents is to oversee and minimize exposure as much as possible, mainly in the first years".
Apr 26, 2015. Up to half of very young children use smartphones and tablets in some way before their first birthday, a new study finds.
"Although mobile devices are ubiquitous in young children's lives, we don't yet know the impact mobile devices can have on young children," Kabali said.
There is no way to assess and predict the potential damages of children brain, vision and hearing under exposure to RF radiation. The WHO precautionary principle and IARC classification must be applied in discussing the potential hazard of the use of today's and tomorrow's communication devices.
"We are breaking down their dam of denial." The most recent is that an egregious mast - a public eyesore and danger - has been ordered to be removed by the national planning body of Ireland, An Bord Pleanala. It sets a country-wide precedent.
An Irish politician, Catherine Murphy, attended Johansson's lecture. She, along with others, opposed renewal of the planning permission for this very large mast.
The community was leafleted several times.
It is important for residents and village passers-through because the mast must go before the introduction of 5G technology.
In addition to microwave radiation from masts and cell phones, a worrying issue has arisen which threatens the exchange of ideas and a free internet which ultimately affects freedom of speech and democracy itself. Legislation is being considered in Europe which would prevent passing along text and hyperlinks. Thus it would become unlawful to pass along information about the microwave threat to humanity. While this would definitely affect aggregate sites, the proposal threatens the very purpose of the internet. Please notify your MEP of the proposed legislation.
And again, thank you to Martin Weatherall for his work from Canada with the W.E.E.P. Initiative.

If you install this code as-is, it will not build the browser client. Some stuff will get installed, because it's in the web dir, but it won't function. The purpose of this bug is to see if the browser client can safely be installed w/o affecting existing code, so I won't go into detail about fetching dependencies and building the browser client here. I'll open a different LP for documenting and improving the build process.
For testing, the main things to look at are the bits of Evergreen proper that changed to support the browser client.
* I added a few permacrud sections to fm_IDL.xml. Changes are all used in the browser client, so they have received some amount of testing, but extra eyes won't hurt.
Regarding the merge, it's a giant pile (349) of practically non-documented commits. Fine-grained squashing would take too long, so we can either commit as-is, with a nice big merge commit message, or squash it all down to a handful of gigantor commits.
Based on conversations in IRC, I'm going to do some heavy squashing. Will report back soon.
It starts w/ a few misc. commits and ends with one giant scripts + templates commit.
Thanks for the squashing Bill. I'm retargeting this work to the newly created 2.7.0-beta2 milestone for further review after the websockets in OpenSRF work is tested.
Rebased to master and resolved a TPAC tempate conflict. Force-pushed to same squash branch.
Also pushed a patch to add a missing dependency to the staff JS Gruntfile.
I just went through a full install on a clean system of the OpenSRF websockets branch plus this branch and was able to get the browser client running without any problems.
Note to anyone doing a manual install of the browser client dependencies... install a v.0.10.* version of Node, not the most recent v.0.11.* series, which I presume is their unstable series (and fails to function for me).
I was told to object in public on IRC over merging this into master if I have objections. I figure that this is actually the better place to object.
On a general note, at this point I cannot merge this on my dev machine, no matter what I do about setting up websockets, and not have major issues with bookbags in particular in the staff client. Regardless of whether or not people want it merged for 2.7 beta 2, "breaks existing functionality" seems like a really good reason to not merge.
And that is without objections over needing a third/fourth apache port to be opened in firewalls (and some of those may be outgoing blocks from overly paranoid groups, not incoming, and thus are harder to get holes in) to get the apparently broken parts of the regular client working after the fact without sufficient documentation to say that it is, in fact, needed. At the very least the core Evergreen README file should get a mention of that, in addition to the general need for the websocket components of OpenSRF to be installed, if not more detailed instructions.
Hi Thomas, if this code breaks bookbag functionality, then that's definitely a showstopper. The first rule of this LP is do no harm... This is the first I've heard of that issue, though. Can you please elaborate?
I'm not quite following your last paragraph. Are you saying that websockets have to be configured just to use the XUL client? Or are you simply saying the browser client / websockets needs more documentation?
Well, I tested my server without turning on the websockets portion and bookbags work fine. The only issue is with adding to temporary lists, but this appears to be a pre-existing problem in 2.6 systems regardless of the new changes.
As for my issues that I had encountered with hold placements, it turns out that I was victim to pickup library issues due to unresolved complications from bug 1167541. Once someone reminded me of that, it turns out holds work just fine as well.
No seeing any serious blocker caused by this new code presently. We can work on refinements to the documentation and other installation details post-merge, pre-release, barring any further discoveries?
I've tested master+user/berick/web-staff-phase1-squash on top of OpenSRF 2.3.0, and did not find any regressions with placing a hold or with adding an item to a (permanent) bookbag from within the staff client. I did observe the infinite redirect issue attempting to add an item to a temporary list, but I see that in 2.6.2 as well.
Here's a branch that, while not changing behavior, removes some magic ("return last lvalue") in case the method becomes more complex in the future and breaks the contract with Perl that it currently depends on. It also improves readability and maintainability, IMO. It's the same as user/berick/web-staff-phase1-squash, but with one commit on top to use explicit "return"s.
I committed the bulk of this, but did not include Mike's last commit because I hadn't tested that far yet. Marking this bug as mostly fix committed, but we need to get some eyes on that final commit before we push it.
Pushed some grid fixes... This fixes the show/hide all column actions, noted in an email to -general. (We may ultimately remove the actions, but if they're there, they may as well work). Also fixes the grid CSV print action.
Picked that fix to master, thanks Bill.

Security situation in Kunduz
admin April 30, 2015	Editorial Leave a comment 110 Views
Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai slams Pakistani 'propaganda' on Afghanistan
Karzai condemns Imran Khan's 'divisive' remarks
Pakistan premier criticized for 'derisive comments' on Afghanistan
Security officials said Wednesday that 154 Taliban fighters have been killed in northern Kunduz province. As many as 134 others were injured. Security officials also said that among the dead at least 30 were foreigners. Now that NATO/ISAF have formally concluded their combat mission and they are staying around to train and develop Afghan security forces and police, it is now fully in the hands of the country's 352,000 soldiers and police. Logically with the end combat mission of the international coalition forces, prospect for peace talks with the insurgents must have become promising, but the stubborn and bloodthirsty Taliban are hell-bent on destroying every sign of development and change that took place in the last 14 years. Afghan security forces have made a lot of progress however they still need international support as they continue to develop. In Kunduz, Helmand and elsewhere Afghan security forces demonstrated worth commending defense capabilities however 2014 had been a deadly year for all defense forces—army, paramilitary and police, with around 5,000 death recorded so far. Most of those deaths, or around 3,200, have been policemen, according to ex-EUPOL chief. The European Union Police Mission (EUPOL) funds and trains a police force of 157,000. Earlier there were rumors that Kunduz will fall into the hands of the Taliban, but the fighting between security forces and militants, which has entered its 6th day is now near to end in Imam Sahib, Qala-e-Zal, Dasht-e-Arche, and Gor Tapa districts, which clearly shows the province has been brought under security control. Last year, the Taliban launched the deadliest coordinated attacks in Helmand. The attacks were so much deadliest that on one occasion, police chief of Sangin district, Ahmadullah Anwari said that sometimes up to 200 Taliban attack their checkpoints and if there were no army reinforcements, they would have lost the fight. He said that it shames him to say that they didn't have enough weapons and equipment, but this was a stark reality. The US, which provides the bulk of NATO troops in this war-ravaged country, has funneled some $61 billion into training of the 350,000-strong security force. For many the end of combat mission is a lynchpin of a plan to exit its longest war, but for some it is an attempt to transfer its war to the government of Afghanistan.
Whatever is the reason, but it's a stark fact that Taliban have stretched their presence, the methodology has not changed, indicating a lack of insurgent military capacity despite the rise in their attacks, however this phenomena has exposed another issue as well—defense forces are lacking weapons and equipment. Moreover, the Taliban's strategy is also a demonstration of complete insanity. They send gunmen and suicide bombers to blow up the front wall of a military compound, police stations, or markets where they achieve nothing. This is insanity and this is barbarism. For the US the war might be over, but for Afghans it has entered another phase.

The superb all year climate makes Tenerife a favourite year-round venue for amateur and professional sporting types.
There's a whole range of sports, from diving to sailing, fishing to windsurfing, available on the island.
Deep-sea fishing – barracuda, tuna, shark, and sailfish are just some of the specimens that fishermen can find when practising deep-sea fishing. The major part of the resorts organises fully equipped fishing trips and the principal charter marina at Tenerife is located at Los Cristianos or Puerto Colón, as well as in Playa de las Américas.
Diving – this is an irresistible activity if one attends to the diving possibilities that Tenerife's clear waters offer. Of course it can't be compared to the scenery divers find in exotic diving destinations, but be aware of some encounters with rays, groupers, barracudas, turtles, tropical fishes and occasionally some sharks. On Tenerife you can dive and swim with some dolphins or even feed the rays.
Sailing – if you have sailing in your blood look for the sports marinas (puerto deportivo), local sailing clubs and federations. You can rent yachts or catamarans for day excursions or longer trips.
Water-skiing – there are many locations offering water-skiing, jet-ski and also some parascending facilities. On Tenerife, the place to go for this is Playa de las Américas.
Windsurfing – this is, almost for sure, one of the most popular sports practised off almost on any reasonable beach. Doesn't matter where you are, you always seem to have enough breeze to head out with your board and sail.
Cycling – if you are trying to get away from the crowds and head for the hills, try the mountain bikes, available for rent in almost all resorts in Tenerife.
Hiking – away from the coast there are plenty surprising countryside landscapes to explore. If you are one of those who doesn't simply want to lounge around the beaches or hang out in bars, look for the 21 marked trails through the Parque Nacional de las Cañadas del Teide, or other areas as the Anaga mountain area in the north-east and around the Valle de la Orotava.
Golf – the demanding Golf courses have hosted international 'Open's. There are not many options available, but the ones you have are rated at a good quality level. In Tenerife you will find three golf courses. The Real Club de Golf de Tenerife is just south of La Laguna and the other two clubs are located on the south coast near El Médano.
Carting – in Tenerife you have two places where you can go carting, the carting Canarias and the carting Club Las Américas. Tracks are different in speed, size and facilities and all have carts that range from child-sized to adult-sized.
Tennis – this sport is played to a very high standard at club level. Most of the larger hotels have tennis courts that are hired out to the public. The Hotel de Las Palmeras is a place where tuition and floodlit courts are available.
Canarian Wrestling (Lucha Canaria) – this is a spectator sport practised throughout the islands and is a popular tourist attraction. The basic objective of this sport is to throw the opponent to the ground, in teams usually composed by 12 wrestlers.
Besides offering very attractive sports, Tenerife also counts with a very large sports infrastructure and, as a tourist you also can choose from an extensive array of sports activities.


Posted bymike December 19, 2011 November 29, 2013 Leave a comment on I doubled the sump space in my aquaponics rig today.
There is an outlet right behind the sumps that got wet and shorted out a year ago. I've basically had the basement electrical turned off for over a year because I've been to lazy to dig the outlet out and swap it. It really ought to be a GFCI, but I didn't think about going and getting one out of the garage until just now, and now I've buried it again. It would be a pain to re-set anyhow. I will make a plastic splash shield for it to keep it dry. I will install and GFCI 1 outlet 'upstream' so it's protected when I think about it again. No need juicing myself or Bella.
As long as the sump was drained and moved, I emptied clothes out of a matching tote and set up a pair of sumps to increase the water volume of this system by 33% or so.
Using a heat blanket to bend a piece of 1.25 inch PVC pipe for a siphon water bridge.
The water bridge is a simple siphon tube that keeps the water level the same between the two totes I am using for a sump. There is a pump in the right tote and water drains into both of them about evenly.
The siphon water bridge. I oversize all non-powered water lines so that they can keep up with those under power – pumps can move a lot of water in small lines. Gravity is much more leisurely.
There are now 3 siphons in this aquaponics setup. Water flows from the sumps up to the grow bed on top of the aquarium where a bell siphon drains the grow bed to the aquarium. The aquarium has a siphon to a overflow box that drains to a wicking grow bed. Then there is the leveling siphon between the two sumps.
I think this looks pretty cool. The two sumps with the plants growing out over them.
Clockwise from top left: Aloe, ficus, jade, some weird zig-zag plant, spider plant, geranium, spider fern, some hen&chicks or similar, and two barely hanging on African violets.

Take one creative couple (and one amazing beard), throw in an 1800's lighthouse overlooking Lake Superior, add a cookie cake, and you have everything you need to make up today's magical Michigan elopement.
After 7 months of dating, Destiny and Jess decided to make things official atop the Big Bay Point Lighthouse with just their officiant, their talented photographer Jesse David Green, and their witness – the owner of the inn – present, in what can only be described as one of the most romantic elopements we've ever seen.
Wedding Reception Location: Oh, we are having a party at our good friend's diner in Atlanta, Georgia. Homegrown is where Jess used to have breakfast every day before we moved and they are the best folks around.
We wanted to focus on one another and not worry about trying to please everybody. As selfish as it sounds, we wanted this event to be about us and what we wanted to get out of it.
Well Jess was already working in Michigan, and Destiny was still in Atlanta, Georgia so that presented some difficulty in planning. On top of that, finding a lighthouse that will let you in the top is tough, but finding a photographer and a minister locally (or willing to travel up to the only available lighthouse) made for a lot of phone calls. Big Bay is north of Marquette and was the closest courthouse to get our marriage license, but we ended up finding the marriage license laws and our awesome minister via my grandmother who once we put the word out started calling around. In fact, when we got out marriage license, Tanya at the Marquette courthouse said: "How is Lynda (grandma) doing?" and they had spoken six weeks prior.
Surprisingly, no. We told our families together at dinner a few weeks before and they were very supportive; surprisingly supportive.
Getting to yell that we were married from the top of the lighthouse. And Destiny got us a cookie cake as our wedding cake and we didn't have to share it with anybody, ha!
We were relaxed and did things on our own time. Nobody had a schedule for us to adhere to.
Make sure not to stress, and focus on creating the memories you want to keep with you FOREVER. And hire a good photographer to capture those memories, especially since you'll need to share the moment with your friends and family.

Software and Soft Skills: ITS Service Center Students Learn on the Job
Monday, January 6, 2020, By News Staff
Information Technology ServicesStudents
Student employees are an integral part of the operation of ITS. From left are Lisa Pugh, Malkiel Asher and Andrew Lee.
The ITS Service Center offers technology-related support to the Syracuse University community. But for the student employees who work there, the center provides an equally valuable service—the opportunity to hone their professional and interpersonal skills.
"I've learned such a wide variety of skills," says lead consultant Lisa Pugh, a senior information management and technology major. "Not just hard technical skills, but also professionalism and how to really deal with people from all different technology backgrounds."
Located at 1-227 CST in the Center for Science and Technology, the ITS Service Center provides assistance seven days a week to students, faculty and staff with their campus resources, including Blackboard, MySlice, NetID, SU Email and more. Students experiencing issues with their devices, such as computers or cell phones, can acquire help with data transfer or backup, virus removal and software installation along with several other technical support services. In addition to in-person support, the Service Center also is available seven days a week by phone (315.443.2677) or email (help@syr.edu).
Student employees are an integral part of the operation of ITS. Each semester, a team of students works together to help clients who visit the Service Center.
"Our goal is that all student employees working for the Service Center acquire a skillset that goes beyond troubleshooting," says ITS Service Center manager Dan Jeski. "We want them to gain real-world experience in the role information technology plays throughout large organizations in preparation for their future careers."
The issues Service Center students tackle can range from simple problems connecting to the Internet to more complex situations involving bulky, out-of-date computers or devices that mysteriously refuse to turn on. No matter the difficulty of the requests, each problem gives the student employees an opportunity to grow professionally and gain hands-on experience in the field of information technology.
Pugh began working at the Service Center in the first few weeks of her freshman year. When she applied for the position of student consultant, she had no idea what the job would entail. Over the past three years, she has gained experience in effectively communicating ideas and working with her fellow consultants to solve problems—skills that she has brought to internships throughout her time at Syracuse University.
Rare technical issues—which the student workers call "unicorns"—require an all-hands-on-deck approach. A recent case involved assembling an outdated computer, says Malkiel Asher, a junior computer engineering major. Because the device was so old, the consultants were excited by the challenge and gathered around the table to work on it until they were able to get the computer to turn on. Situations such as these have given Asher the opportunity to work with people from a wide range of different backgrounds and skill sets, he says.
Andrew Lee, a junior studying information management and technology, has worked as a Service Center consultant for the past two semesters. Although he has gained technical skills troubleshooting Apple and Windows devices through his position, Lee cites the experience he has gained in working with a team to solve problems as the most beneficial aspect of his work. The center's collaborative environment allows him to gain hands-on experience with IT-related problems, he says.
"I wanted a job that was very engaging and allowed me to learn more about my career," Lee says. "And this is pretty much it."
The story was written by Gillian Follett '22.

(Spain 2016)
Pedro Almodóvar has his own voice and his own vision, and he's stayed true to both from the beginnning of his career. He's an incredible story teller with no shortage of stories to tell; in fact, he once said that he "can make a thousand different movies about the same subject" (https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/p/pedroalmod587571.html). His frank treatment of sexuality is as bold as his visual style, and his characters are all memorable. His plots are intricate, loaded with twists and turns and weird things that throw in a wrench that takes the whole thing somewhere you never saw coming. He's a master of exaggeration—it works just as well in his comedy as it does in his melodrama.
Julieta, Almodóvar's current film—his twentieth feature—is no exception. Like most of his movies, particularly his post-millennial work, this one centers on women. Inspired by three short stories ("Chance", "Soon," and "Silence") from from Alice Munro's 2004 book Runaway, Julieta is, in simplest terms, the story of one woman's search for her estranged daughter. There's a lot more to it, of course, and Almodóvar slowly reveals it all, layer by layer.
Julieta (Emma Suárez) is a middle-aged woman who lives in Madrid with her boyfriend, Lorenzo (Darío Grandinetti). They're packing to move to Portugal. Julieta has a secret: she has a daughter, Antiá, who checked out of her life more than a decade ago. She happens to run into Beatriz (Michelle Jenner), an old friend of Antiá, on the street. Beatriz gives Julieta some small information about Antiá, prompting Julieta to drop all plans in the hope of her daughter returning. She begins writing a journal, which turns into a flashback that tells us what happened.
Some 30 years before, young Julieta (Adriana Ugarte) meets scruffy fisherman Xoan (Daniel Grao) on a train. He's married, but his wife is in a coma. He knocks up Julieta, who receives a letter from him and visits him at his home in a small Spanish fishing town. They decide to raise Antiá together there. When Antiá (Priscilla Delgado) is a teen and away at camp, Julieta and Xoan have a fight that leads to disaster. Julieta doesn't tell Antiá everything, and it comes back to bite her.
Nothing by Almodóvar ever sucks, but I've found his work to be up and down after All About My Mother. It's to be expected from an artist with a long career, Madonna being a good example. His last project, 2013's I'm So Excited, was fun but certainly not his most compelling. Julieta, however, is solid—I say it's his finest hour and a half since Volver. It's not a light film—it's an elegant, emotional slow burner that deals with regret, omission, and forgiveness. Ugarte and Grao are both hot, and they have a palpable chemistry. Casting Rossy De Palma as Xoan's longtime passive-aggressive housekeeper is a nice touch.

Among those attacking the FCC's all but foregone conclusion are Internet Protocol co-inventor Vint Cerf, World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
But this vote has nothing to do with public opinion or expert testimony or, heaven forfend, logic; it has to do with the major US telecoms, Verizon and ATT, seeking additional revenue growth as their once-dominant wireline business dies in the face of mobile tech.
It doesn't matter to the FCC that the vast majority of the 22 million public comments on its plan think it's a stupid idea. It doesn't matter than 800 startups have warned the FCC its attack on the rules undermines innovation, competition, and the health of the internet. And it doesn't matter that 190 academics, engineers, and tech-policy experts have told the agency that its repeal will dramatically harm the internet -- or that the FCC's justifications for the reversal make no technical or engineering sense.
By now the FCC has made it clear it has absolutely no intention of actually listening to the public or to experts when it comes to its plan to repeal popular net neutrality rules later this week.
It doesn't really matter to the FCC's myopic majority that the vast majority of the record 22 million public comments on its plan think it's a stupid idea. It apparently doesn't matter than over 800 startups have warned the FCC that its attack on the rules undermines innovation, competition, and the health of the internet. And it certainly doesn't appear to matter than over 190 academics, engineers, and tech-policy experts have told the agency that its repeal will dramatically harm the internet -- or that the FCC's justifications for the reversal make no technical or engineering sense.
If the current FCC was actually capable of hearing these dissenting expert voices, they'd probably find this new letter from 21 of them worth a look. You might recognize some of the authors. They include Internet Protocol co-inventor Vint Cerf, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, several designers of the Domain Name System (DNS), World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, public-key cryptography inventors Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, and more.
"It is important to understand that the FCC's proposed Order is based on a flawed and factually inaccurate understanding of Internet technology. These flaws and inaccuracies were documented in detail in a 43-page-long joint comment signed by over 200 of the most prominent Internet pioneers and engineers and submitted to the FCC on July 17, 2017.
Despite this comment, the FCC did not correct its misunderstandings, but instead premised the proposed Order on the very technical flaws the comment explained. The technically-incorrect proposed Order dismantles 15 years of targeted oversight from both Republican and Democratic FCC chairs, who understood the threats that Internet access providers could pose to open markets on the Internet."
Their previous, ignored warnings highlighted how the FCC's Notice for Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) includes incorrect assessments and conflation of the differences between ISPs and edge providers (Netflix, content companies), incorrect claims in the NPRM about how the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 functions, how firewalls work, and more. Instead of consulting people that actually know how the internet works in public hearings, the FCC blindly doubled down on flawed reasoning and technical inaccuracies. Why? Because ISP-driven ideological rhetoric, not facts, are driving the repeal.
"The experts' comment was not the only one the FCC ignored. Over 23 million comments have been submitted by a public that is clearly passionate about protecting the Internet. The FCC could not possibly have considered these adequately. Indeed, breaking with established practice, the FCC has not held a single open public meeting to hear from citizens and experts about the proposed Order.
Furthermore, the FCC's online comment system has been plagued by major problems that the FCC has not had time to investigate. These include bot-generated comments that impersonated Americans, including dead people, and an unexplained outage of the FCC's on-line comment system that occurred at the very moment TV host John Oliver was encouraging Americans to submit comments to the system."
And again, while the FCC may be eager to ignore objective experts and the will of the public as it rushes to give Verizon and AT&T a sloppy kiss, the fact they did so will be playing a starring role in the lawsuits filed against the agency in the new year. In court the FCC will have to prove that the broadband market changed dramatically enough in two years to warrant a wholesale reversal in net neutrality policy. But critics will have plenty of ammunition in their attempts to prove the FCC engaged in "arbitrary and capricious" policy based predominately on fluff and nonsense, not hard data or engineering expertise.
