Home » Topics » Cybersecurity » Internet protocol
by Pete Swabey 8 November 2011
William Gibson, the science fiction author who coined the term 'cyberspace' in his 1982 short story Burning Chrome, later dismissed the word as "essentially meaningless".
And yet, 20 years later that essentially meaningless word could be found emblazoned across the front of Westminster's Queen Elizabeth II conference centre, announcing an event that had attracted speakers including prime minister David Cameron and US vice president Joe Biden: the London Conference on Cyberspace, as organised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
The choice of title did not go unremarked. "No one says 'cyberspace!'" commented one young Twitter user. Others dismissed the event as just a conference about the Internet that had been given a archaic name by out-of-touch bureaucrats.
But 'cyberspace' does not just mean 'the Internet'. Technologically it may be meaningless, but the term has been adopted by the international community as a cipher for the diplomatic, legal, political and military sphere in which nation states and their respective approaches to information technology are forced to coexist.
The cyberspace defense complex The London Conference on Cyberspace was an opportunity for the UK's defense sector to showcase its cyber-savvy
The core of the London Conference on Cyberspace was a diplomatic meeting to discuss the rules of engagement in this theoretical space. There were many sessions on the conference programme about other topics, such as the social benefits of the Internet, and these could have taken place any time in the last 15 to 20 years. But according to sources privy to the organisation of the event, these were added late in the day.
Zahid Jamil, a legal advisor to the Commonwealth's Cyber Crime Initiative, said the choice the word 'cyberspace' reflected the objective of the conference. "Some people have criticised the name, but I think its very appropriate," he said. "We're talking about a space, just like the sea, and the air, and outer space, and the norms of behaviour for nation states within that space."
Former defence secretary Lord John Reid, made a similar remark. "Cyber' is not just a technology, it is a new environment; it is like the sea or the air, it runs through everything," he said in one session. "We know how difficult it was to assert legal agreement on the sea – it took two centuries, and then only because we had empires to enforce it."
In his role as chair of University College London's Institute for Security and Resilience Studies, Reid has called for the development of a 'cyber doctrine', "a flexible series of principles that could be adopted nationally … without the obligations of a legal framework."
This call for "norms of behaviour in cyberspace" echoed throughout the conference. Foreign secretary William Hague proposed a set of principles that he hoped would guide international consensus, including the need for governments to act in accordance with international law and need for cyberspace to remain open to the free flow of ideas, information and expression.
Joe Biden, filling in for secretary of state Hilary Clinton via video link, called on "countries everywhere to join in the bet we've made … that by building a global consensus around universal value and shared norms, we can together preserve the Internet as an open space for all."
From a Western point of view, the rhetoric sounds platitudinous, but these 'norms of behaviour' are not endorsed by everyone.
In September, and in clear anticipation of the London conference, China, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan submitted their own international code of conduct for information security to the United Nations. It contains much of the same sentiment about the importance of the Internet to modern society as was heard at the conference, but certain phrases reveal a different perspective.
For example, the code calls on states to "cooperate in … curbing dissemination of information which incites terrorism, secessionism, extremism or undermines other countries' political, economic and social stability, as well as their spiritual and cultural environment." In other words, it calls on UN countries to help one another censor dissent.
Striking a balance
Building consensus against this code of conduct was clearly one of the conference's main aims. As many commentators have observed, however, neither the US nor the UK have an unblemished record when it comes to Internet censorship.
Peter Sommer, a professor at the London School of Economics and one of the UK's leading academics on cyberspace, says that despite their overtures to the open Internet, politicians from both sides of the Atlantic are happy to discuss censorship when it is politically expedient.
"When something nasty happens on the Internet, there will be a story on Fox News or in the Daily Mail about how the government is being weak, and politicians will immediately start talking about warrantless wiretapping and cracking down," he explains. "They flip-flop between talking about the social and commercial benefits of the Internet and then saying its a nasty thing we need to control, with no mechanism for saying how you actually resolve that balance."
Sommer says the London conference failed to move the international community any closer to finding that balance. For example, there was very little discussion of the existing machinery for policing the web, such as the UN-backed Internet Governance Forum.
"If you think the IGF isn't working – and there are people who do think that – then we need a discussion of why it isn't working and how we are going to do to make it work or replace it," he says. "Instead, they announced that this was the start of a new process, as if these issues haven't been around for years."
This may reflect the siloed nature of government, Sommer suspects, and the fact that cyberspace has only recently emerged as a foreign policy issue. Hilary Clinton, who has made some powerful speeches in the last 18 months about the US' dedication to an open Internet, said as recently as 2009 that she "wouldn't know a Twitter from a tweeter, but apparently its very important".
But if the US and UK occasionally act in ways that do not match their rhetoric, it is simply realpolitik in action, argues Zahid Jamil.
"Every country has their position and their national interests, and expecting anyone not to protect their national interests would be unrealistic," he says. "What's more important is that there are countries that believe an open Internet, and that are prepared to engage in a discussion in a pro-active manner."
But did the conference succeed in moving the international community towards the consensus that the UK and US are pursuing? A comment made by Russia's representative Andrey Krutskikh, that "information security must not suppress freedom", is cause for optimism, says Jamil.
Professor Sommer is not as convinced. "I wonder about the sincerity of the remark."

The Good The Plantronics BackBeat Go 600 are lightweight, comfortable over-ear Bluetooth headphones that sound decent and work well for making calls. You can toggle between more neutral or bass-boosted sound modes. The Bad Bass lacks a little definition. The earcups can show scratches. The Bottom Line Don't expect a "wow" from the lightweight, comfortable Plantronics BackBeat 600, but they're as good or better than a lot of headphones in this price range.

INTERVIEW: Civil Twilight on their Sustainable Approach to Design
under Environment, Green Design Competitions, Green Talks, Interviews, New York City
by Diane Pham
Civil Twilight's lunar-resonant streetlighting is a project that won the top honor from Metropolis Magazine's Next Generation contest in 2007. But we were pleased (but not surprised) to discover that this project is just the tip of the iceberg; the Bay Area-based collective has a slew of other equally-engaging projects in the works (including the mycofarmhouse, in which mushrooms break down and recycle wood-frame buildings). They describe their design process as "brilliant simplicity, across scales and media." We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Read on for some more info about their winning streetlights, other projects, their approach to sustainability, and the trio of talent that is Civil Twilight.
On sustainability: "While we feel a sense of responsibility, we aren't motivated by a grudging sense of duty or ideology, but rather by a general sense of wonder in the world. We try to instill that sense of amazement through our projects—the idea that sustainable design could mean a moonlit walk in the park."
Emily: How did the lunar streetlight project come to be? What issues were you hoping to address? What design "problems" does the project propose to solve?
Anton Willis: The lunar-resonant streetlight project began as an offshoot of my architecture masters thesis at UC Berkeley. My thesis interest and research concerned lunar architecture—as an alternative to the countless solar-oriented buildings, ancient and contemporary. The project addresses a couple of issues: the energy wasted by unnecessary outdoor lighting, and the light pollution this creates. I grew up in a place with very pristine and
spectacular night skies, so I'm fairly attuned to light pollution—many people in urban areas never realize what they're missing.
Kate Lydon: Beyond saving energy, the lunar-resonant streetlights are about rekindling a connection to nature in dense urban environments. As a collective, we're interested in reintroducing a sense of wonder for the natural world–as a way to encourage respect for it. Our approach is resolutely interdisciplinary and our projects, which range from buildings to books, cross scales. Christina Seely, the third member of Civil Twilight, is also working on a parallel project, Lux, photographing the artificial glow produced by major cities, as seen on a NASA map of the world at night.
Emily: In terms of energy/technology, how do the lights work, how are they powered, how do you see them being integrated into existing urban contexts?
AW: We're developing ways to retrofit existing streetlight fixtures, by simply plugging in new electronics. Dimmable white LEDs replace the standard yellow sodium bulbs, an ultrasensitive photosensor replaces the current twilight-activated photocells, and a microprocessor dimming control connects the two. So when there is ambient moonlight, the light senses it directly and dims down. It reacts to both lunar phases and cloud-cover or other light-changing conditions.
KL: Our plan for implementation is two-tiered. We're interested in doing custom installations—in parks, at places with a didactic mission such as science museums, and as part of energy-conscious developments. The installations would be opportunities to promote nighttime activities at these sites, which might arrange programming, such as full moon walks, to coincide with the lunar cycle.
AW: In the longer term, we see cities retrofitting existing light grids incrementally. We imagine different planned lighting zones for cities—nighttime commercial areas might remain more brightly lit, while residential areas convert to lunar-resonance. We are also interested in packaging lunar-resonant technology with other green systems, such as integrated solar lights which could be net power generators rather than consumers—this would also bring in nice a solar/lunar duality.
Christina Seely, Anton Willis, and Kate Lydon with Horace Havemeyer and Susan Szenasy of Metropolis
Emily: What implications does the lunar-resonant lighting project have in terms of sustainability?
KL: The combined effect of converting to LEDs and lunar-resonance saves a huge amount of energy (our research indicates about 85%). And, of course, LEDs last much longer than sodium-vapor bulbs, and are dimmable. But we
don't think sustainability will ever reach its potential if it is only about invisible technical innovations.
AW: Beyond the specific energy savings, we would like to see the discussion about sustainability expand to a more experiential definition. This project is very much about changing people's perceptions and experiences of night, lighting, and natural cycles; making those kinds of connections should be a key part of sustainable design.
Civil Twilight's Mycofarmhouse project
Emily: What other types of work do you guys do and what are some of the underlying themes in your projects?
KL: We're interested in brilliant simplicity, across scales and media. In some ways, we see the lunar streetlights as 'undesign.' They could alter our perception of cities at night, enhance the experience of taking a moonlit urban stroll, connect people to the lunar cycle, and we hope encourage moon-based activities, all with components that plug into existing fixtures.
Like the streetlights, our other design work explores how the built environment engages natural phenomena, to both practical and poetic ends. We're working on a small mixed-use development designed around walking paths
and focused on innovative green materials. The mycofarmhouse uses mushrooms (a current obsession) to break down and recycle wood-frame buildings (and have them for dinner!).
Mycofarmhouse
Emily: What role and/or responsibility do you think you and other designers have in terms of sustainability and contributing to green ventures?
AW: While we feel a sense of responsibility, we aren't motivated by a grudging sense of duty or ideology, but rather by a general sense of wonder in the world. We try to instill that sense of amazement through our projects—the idea that sustainable design could mean a moonlit walk in the park.

more importantly, is there a working contact for them? I'd love a folding pattern for the kayak, but they don't seem to have a mail server ....
so... i'm a little curious as to how one safely harvests a crop in a building that's intentionally being consumed from within...

We were Bob and Kathy's neighbours for about two weeks, the last two before we left Brooklin.
Isla, Jenson and Lincoln made new friends in their grandchildren, Riley, Emma, McKenzie and PJ. They hunted grasshoppers together, rode bikes together and climbed the walnut tree together.
Isla and Jenson learned how to ride their bikes without training wheels on the hill behind their pool room. Lincoln learned how to balance himself and peddle with some confidence too.
When we lived at Bob and Kathy's house for those last few weeks, we bore witness to the most amazing love. They truly welcomed us into their everyday lives, into their family and showered blessings upon us.
Kathy is the ultimate caregiver and caretaker of their home, she's overflowing with grace and love amidst all of the chaos that surrounds her. While we were there, Kathy loved her grandchildren so much and so well that her love splashed onto Isla, Jenson and Lincoln and it made them feel like a part of the family. Kathy puts everyone in her house before herself, even us gypsies who were just passing through.
Bob is just as selfless as Kathy, giving his time and wisdom to us as we struggled through some hardships. He also enjoyed up some finer things with Luke, like cigars and delicious rum.
We splashed in their pool, ran around in their yard, even took over a small room in their home. I did my laundry in their basement and I did my dishes in their kitchen everyday–almost always with great conversations to accompany the chore.
Bob and Kathy took care of so many needs; physically, emotionally and spiritually. They ministered to our needs as they offered up their hospitality.
We will miss Bob and Kathy for their hospitality, wisdom, insight and for their maturity in their faith that we aspire to.

What is a learning campaign?
A learning campaign is a series of learning experiences that occur over time and across different mediums that are designed to create behaviour change. The term 'campaign' is more commonly used in advertising and marketing than it is in learning. An advertising campaign is normally a series of creative assets with the same message delivered across different mediums. There is a saying in advertising that people need to see something three times before they notice it. A strong feature of a learning campaign is repetition.
Why are learning campaigns needed?
Learning and behaviour change is hard. Anyone who works in training knows about the forgetting curve. A learning campaign mindset provides learning and development with a wider set of tools and tactics to create lasting behaviour change. One of the greatest problems L&D faces is simple 'quick' fixes, e.g. an awareness course with learning objectives that focus on knowledge. This is part of what I call the 'great confusion', with learning being about content and knowledge and not behavioural change. The 70:20:10 model is part of a mindset and move away from learning just being a single formal learning event that is about delivering content. Learning campaigns are a great match with the 70:20:10 model and working beyond courses.
What does a learning campaign approach look like?
A basic approach to a learning campaign would have at least these three steps.
This may involve email messages, posters and other methods to communicate to your learners that the learning experience is coming.
Often formal learning experiences are just one-off events or experiences, e.g. a single elearning module. If you were taking a learning campaign approach this would be broken down into small chunks of learning (e.g. microlearning) that learners would engage with over a period of time.
A learning campaign wouldn't stop at the formal learning event, there would be some follow up to embed practice. This might be as simple as automatic email messages, post-course reflections, workplace projects or tasks.
Learning campaigns expand beyond just the course. They are more immersive and expand into the physical workspace, e.g. through signage and posters. These act as nudges and reminders. Learning campaigns will also often have a brand and logo. While these approaches from marketing don't necessarily mean that behaviour change is going to happen, they do give a learning campaign more presence.
Learning is different to marketing. Marketing is driving towards a relatively simple outcome, e.g. a sale. Learning is more complex. In marketing, when the buying process is complex a buyer is 'handed over' to sales and a good sales person coaches and supports the buyer through change. With learning, behaviour change happens after someone has made the decision to change. They often need more support and nudges to activate the learning and make the behavioural change stick.

'I would never have taken a role where I wasn't sitting at the top table. I make sure I have influence in how a firm goes about things,' notes veteran litigator Margaret Cole, PwC's UK general counsel and chief risk officer.
Stephenson Harwood-trained Cole joined the accountancy giant in 2012 to head its legal division after leaving the Financial Services Authority (FSA), where she headed its enforcement and crime division. Frequently cited in the media for her robust management style, Cole was the force behind transforming the FSA's image from a low-key and disorganised regulator of the financial services industry to a tougher arbiter, tackling rogue behaviour by bringing far more prosecutions across the City.
Executing the FSA's reinvention – a politically-charged task that involved overhauling a sluggish governance structure – coupled with early exposure to high-stakes litigation in private practice, allowed Cole to evolve from a purely legal to an all-round business adviser. These days, she is considered not only a respected figurehead within the in-house community, but also a c-suite operator at PwC. A member of the executive board, her responsibilities include managing a legal team, overseeing the firm's reputation and regulation division, and issues relating to risk, quality and compliance.
There is plenty for Cole's 126-strong legal team to grapple with. In late 2015, PwC settled a £1.6bn professional negligence dispute for an undisclosed sum days before the case was set to be heard in the High Court. It had added Deloitte and KPMG to its defence, and the case would have clarified the law relating to claims against auditors. Also in 2015, PwC was hit with a €578m professional negligence claim brought by British American Tobacco (BAT), stemming from PwC's audit of Windward Prospects, in which BAT alleged PwC failed to fully account for the clean-up costs of a polluted river.
Court battles aside, the post-Brexit impact on London's status as a financial services hub has tested Cole's department in navigating the business through the uncertainty. For PwC and other financial institutions, the loss of passporting rights would be 'catastrophic', according to Cole.
Her other concern is the Senior Managers Regime, which requires firms to map out the roles of their senior managers and allocate responsibilities to them in order to make them individually accountable. It is arguable whether GCs, given their ascension up the corporate hierarchy in recent years, should also be held to account under the regime.
Women are made caricatures if they're strong or fierce. The terminology used for women is very different to that used for men.
Despite the irony of the City's former chief enforcer now coming under the regulator's spotlight in her role as GC, Cole is accustomed to handling high-stress situations.
Preston-born Cole is the daughter of parents who both left school at 15. Her father worked as a fitter in a textile factory and her mother worked a number of unskilled jobs. But they insisted on Cole pursuing an education, right from attending Shakespeare plays as a child up to securing a place at Cambridge to read law. Her City career began at Stephenson Harwood, where she was mentored by senior litigator John Fordham. Opponents included Keith Oliver, now head of international at Peters & Peters, Ashurst disputes veteran Edward Sparrow and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's joint managing partner Chris Pugh.
She was fortunate to cut her teeth on major insolvency litigation in her early career, taking on the Maxwell family in a group action to recover the companies' pension funds after the media tycoon Robert Maxwell died at sea. She secured a global settlement of £276m and was further involved in the landmark liquidation of the Bank of Credit & Commerce International (BCCI), which was forced to close by the Bank of England in 1991 triggering over 70,000 claims.
We don't want to waste time explaining to law firms how we work. Those we use take the trouble to find out themselves.
Under Cole's leadership, White & Case's City disputes offering evolved over the course of a decade from a four-person team to a 50-strong practice. But feeling she had 'done litigation for too long', Cole once again found herself in search of a wider challenge and applied for the enforcement officer role at the FSA, where she would report to then chief executive Hector Sants.
She says the push into enforcement was a huge departure for the FSA, which appointed headhunters in a very public search to fill the role. 'It's a very different job from being a practising lawyer. At the beginning, the public mood was interesting. The FSA was seen as a thought leader, but principally a regulator that did supervision but not a lot of enforcement. Up until then it had a small enforcement function – always a last resort.' Cole says she tried to make enforcement 'much more about what the FSA was prepared to do'.
Multiple prosecutions and convictions came during Cole's tenure. The rate of fines rose threefold – in her first year, civil fines totalled £17m and by 2011 rose to £66m, almost covering the body's £67m budget. Famous arrests in the Square Mile included former Cazenove partner Malcolm Calvert for insider trading.
An overhaul of the FSA's structure came about in 2012 when a Conservative-led government divided the body in two, forming the Prudential Regulatory Authority, a subsidiary of the Bank of England, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), intended to operate as a heavyweight watchdog.
Though instrumental in shaping her own hard-earned reputation, Cole found herself considering new options after unsuccessfully bidding for the FCA's top executive job against Martin Wheatley.
After Wheatley was chosen to lead the FCA through its new structure, Cole landed a new role at PwC and, having taken a pay cut at the FSA, soared back into the wealthy lawyer brigade. At the time, partners at the Big Four firm were earning around £700,000. But Cole has not forgotten her FSA background and has invested in strengthening PwC's functions in a bid to meet the expectations of increasingly robust regulators.
She concedes that the ultimate challenge facing large, established businesses in financial services will be to find new ways of being efficient but also doing things differently.

Hack Attack: Motivate yourself
Adam Pash
by Adam Pash
I'm proud to say that I'll be running the Chicago Marathon next October with a few friends... hopefully. Er - definitely. I think.
Running a marathon is tough. Unless you're blessed with an innate love of running long, grueling distances, it's not something that offers instant gratification.
But the same can be said for any tough-to-achieve goal. To overcome the obstacles that arise in the pursuit of any difficult task (marathons included), I've come up with a few suggestions that make achieving any goal easier and more enjoyable.
This is possibly the most important (if most obvious) step. You can't achieve any goals until you set them.
Knowing what goals to set can be difficult, but a simple first step is to tackle those things that nag at you everyday but have never been formalized. The goal doesn't have to directly address your need (some goals are too large to address this way), but should at least do so indirectly.
For example, I've got a nagging desire to stay in shape and improve my health. While running the Chicago Marathon isn't the only way to address this desire, it certainly is an effective step in the process.
Play the part
It's easy to say you're going to do something, but it's not easy to do it, especially if you've set a goal that lies outside the realm of your normal comfort zone. If you've never defined yourself as a marathon runner, for example, it's difficult to become one without feeling a little strange.
Rather than shying away from your new goal because you feel like an impostor, just try acting the part. You may feel some dissonance at first, but in time it will no longer be an act and will no longer feel unnatural. Once you incorporate your goal into your identity, it becomes a part of you and you'll find that it has become that much easier to do.
I plan on buying a new pair of running shoes and some good workout clothes to get into the part. Then it's a matter of letting the world know that, yes, I am a runner. Don't be embarrassed of your goal - after all, you've set it because it's something that you want, right?
Any loyal GTD convert knows that for any system to work well, it has to be easy to use. If you want to achieve your goal, make sure that you've set it up in such a way that working towards it is as simple (and fun) as possible.
Planning plays an important part in this. If you've planned out the steps necessary to complete your goal, it becomes easier to attack the goal in chunks rather than as a whole.
Starting in February, I've got a workout plan that will carry me all the way through to October. As a result, I don't really have to worry about running the race. All I really have to worry about is following my daily workout schedule - if I do that, the race will take care of itself.
It's great that you've set a goal, but goals can be so easy to ignore - especially if neglecting your goal has no immediate repercussions. Luckily, there are a number of ways that you can make a goal important enough to you that it doesn't slip through the cracks.
To motivate himself for the marathon, for example, my friend has made an agreement with his sister. He's writing her a check for a sizable sum, and if he doesn't complete the race, she's going to cash the check. Now he has a lot more at stake than health and fitness, which by itself is normally a relatively easy thing to ignore.

Despite what most people think, motivation is NOT a feeling, but something you do. Successful people don't wake up everyday thinking "wow, I'm so motivated! I can't wait to attack the day!". Instead, they just do it. Doing whatever is necessary to get the job done becomes a habit, and therefore motivation is just a prolonged effort to reach the goals that you originally set sight on...day in, day out. When starting something new, just about everyone comes out guns a blazing, but the real secret to long term success to just show up - and don't quit. I can't count how many times I've seen people come into the gym I train at, start spouting off how bad they want to improve, then suddenly disappear after only a few weeks. That's why its so important to first recognize WHY you want to achieve a certain goal, and then establish what NEEDS to be done day in, day out to reach that desired goal. And then just do it. There will be good days and bad days, but mostly a whole bunch of average days. Just make sure to PLAN AHEAD and realize that you're not going to "have it" everyday - the best learn to fake it when its not there.

Abstract: Exposure to pathogenic flaviviruses is necessary but inadequate for development of symptomatic disease, as majority of flaviviral infections are clinically silent. The host response during early infection is an important determinant of disease progression. However, how host responses determine whether an infection is clinically overt or asympatomatic has yet to be elucidated. To examine the events during pre-symptomatic stage of flavivirus infection, I analysed the systemic adverse events in human volunteers following yellow fever live-attenuated vaccination as a surrogate for symptomatic infection. Collectively, the data indicates that there was no association between YF vaccine viraemia and symptomatic infection. Instead, early up-regulation of genes involved in TOLL-receptor signalling and innate immune responses at day 1 post-vaccination, before detectable viraemia, were positively correlated with development of symptoms commonly reported in acute febrile illness, the onset of which was at day 6 post-vaccination. Furthermore, as the ratio of symptomatic and asymptomatic infection of dengue is influenced by whether the infection is primary or secondary, this thesis also examined how infection through antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) pathway shapes the early host responses to infection. Experimental findings in primary human monocytes showed that the route of entry also determines the early host transcriptional response, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Collectively, findings from this thesis suggest that early host responses, which is shaped at least in part by the route of virus entry and are expressed prior to detectable viraemia, determine whether a flaviviral infection is symptomatic or asymptomatic.


Mumbai: Designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil are set to bring down the curtains at Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Summer-Resort 2019.
This will be the couturiers' first stint at closing the fashion extravaganza.
Shantanu and Nikhil will showcase their latest collection, Recruit SS'19, which will bring alive the brand's beauty theme for this year – 'Matte Reinvent'.
The iconic theme is about being bold, intensely matte and yet comfortably glamorous, which aligns with the designer pair's philosophy.
Talking about their collaboration with Lakme, Shantanu and Nikhil said their latest clothing line carries forward "its India story with a strong sense of belief in what upholds for women of the future generations".
"Our design sensibilities are in line with Lakme's focus on their new Lakme Absolute Matte Ultimate Collection, unlike their previous grand finale shows, this time they're not only focusing on grandeur but also on the understated qualities of design and beauty and that is precisely what makes the S&N Couture Creations unique," the duo said in a statement.
With the underlying layers of progressivism and distinctiveness in terms of fashion, Shantanu and Nikhil believe in creating a new minimalistic culture of refined design depicting gender equality and cross-cultural expression.
This time, they attempt to take their craft forward through a black, gold and scarlet red colour scheme with silhouettes that have been reworked into exaggerated drapes with dramatic mesh overlays over their edgy take on traditional skirts, oversized capes accessorised with eclectic medallion adornments, silk tassels and intricate gold embroidery.
Talking about the association, Ashwath Swaminathan, Head of Innovations, Lakme said this season the brand aims to give an all-new meaning to matte.
"Every season Lakme has launched a new beauty trend that complements and celebrates Indian women. This season our aim is to give Matte an all new meaning with the beauty theme of Matte Reinvent.
"We are excited to bring it alive at Lakme Fashion Week Finale in collaboration with Shantanu and Nikhil. I look forward to an 'ultimate' finale with their creative interpretation of the theme," Swaminathan said.

You have your best dress or suit on, and you are ready to dance the night away, but instead of looking for your assigned dinner table at your cousin's wedding, you are looking for tables filled with cookies. To be more specific, you are looking for the tables piled high with thousands of beautiful handmade treats. When you find them, you know you are at a wedding in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
If you have ever been to a wedding in Pittsburgh, then chances are great that you know what a cookie table is. If not, then you have missed out on something special. Once you have experienced this sweet wedding tradition, you'll be looking for the cookie table no matter where the wedding takes place.
Laden with tray after tray of homemade cookies, these tables range from a small table with a few hundred cookies to elaborate spreads that span the wall of an entire hotel ballroom and hold thousands of cookies. Not only can guests sample all of the sweet treats at the wedding, convenient take-home containers are also provided so no one leaves empty-handed. And we are not talking about a few chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies either. People spend weeks making their special delights for the big day. From pecan tassies and dainty lady fingers to that special family cookie that has been made for generations, you name the cookie and it will probably be on the table.
Cookie tables, a long-held tradition at weddings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are a sight to behold and one that many wedding guests look forward to more than the wedding itself.
While no one is really quite sure when the cookie table tradition began, the general consensus it that immigrants started it out of necessity. Elaborate wedding cakes were expensive and many immigrants were unable to afford them. Cookies could be made for the wedding by grandmothers, mothers, and other family members at a relatively low cost that was spread out among many people. By bringing old-world cookies to weddings, the tradition was also a way for immigrants to honor their heritage in their new country.
Historically, cookie tables were found predominantly at Catholic and Eastern European family weddings. Today, the famous tables can be found at almost any Pittsburgh wedding. Other areas in Ohio, West Virginia, New Jersey, and New York all have their own version of this tradition.
Cookie tables are easy to set up, and most wedding venues in the Pittsburgh area are well prepared for the occasion. Even in other cities, where people from Pittsburgh have moved, tables can be set up.
Whether your wedding reception is at a hotel, or you are doing it yourself in a local church hall, there are a number of things to remember when planning and setting up a one of these treat buffets. The following tips can help you if you decide on including this sweet tradition at your wedding.
Recruit plenty of bakers. Baking hundreds of cookies takes many days. Set aside a couple of days for a baking party with friends and family.
Recruit bakers early. Make sure your bakers know when the cookies are needed, how many are needed and what kind they are baking.
Figure out how many cookies you want at your wedding.
Provide take-home containers for guests. They can be fancy embossed boxes or plain freezer bags. Whatever fits the wedding.
If necessary for allergy concerns, label the cookies.
Make sure there are enough tables for the cookies.
Discuss cookie presentation and table setup with staff.
Appoint a family member or a friend to oversee the table, refilling when necessary.
Have you ever been to a wedding with a Cookie Table?
Once word gets out that you are having a cookie table, friends and family will be more than willing to help out. Chances are that a few extra trays of cookies will show up on the day of the wedding. Make sure to include those special family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation as well.
For hotel and banquet hall weddings, be familiar with their outside food policy. Some locations do not accept food from outside sources. Luckily, most hotels in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area are familiar with the Cookie Table tradition and will accept trays of goodies a couple days in advance of the wedding.
Wherever you may live, if you are interested in something a little different at your wedding, consider having a cookie table. It's a fun and easy addition to the festivities and it is always a hit. Friends and relatives who bake will enjoy knowing that they made a contribution on your special day and who knows, you may just start a new tradition where you live!
A great addition to your treat table is this fancy nut horn. The recipe makes 70 - 80 cookies.
Place butter, sour cream, egg yolks and dissolved yeast into a large mixing bowl and mix until creamy. Add flour slowly while mixing and add until dough is soft and elastic. Roll dough out into balls about the size of ping pong balls. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Place dry ingredients into a bowl and slowly mix in the vanilla until mixture forms a paste.
Working with a few dough balls at a time, flatten balls into small circles and spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Roll them up, then roll in sugar and place them, seam side down, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Shape into crescents. Bake in a 350º oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
How many cookies should I provide for 200 guests?
I would plan for 4-6 cookies per guest. Of course, there are always going to be guests that take more and then some that don't take any at all. Folks will also eat the cookies while at the wedding, and then take some home too.
I love the idea of smiley cookies! I wonder if they could even match wedding colors? Thanks for reading.
She had a HUGE cookie table! I totally agree that they should be a requirement! I would rather have cookies than the cake! Thank you for the great article. Thanks for posting it!
Hi Cara - Cookie tables are the best! I think they should be a requirement for every wedding (just kidding). Sounds like your cousin had a table. Thanks for reading and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the article.
This is so true! My cousin that just recently got married had a huge cookie table! I love this page. this is awesome!
Thanks so much PaoloJpm - Glad you enjoyed the hub.
Hi ajwrites57 - Thanks for the great comments. It's been a little while for me to. Glad you enjoyed the hub!
Glimmer Twin Fan--the cookie table is soooo awesome! Haven't been to a wedding for awhile. Need to get an invite soon so I can get me some snowballs and nut horns 'n 'at! hafta go Dahntahn I guess! Thanks for s delicious hub! Shared!
I appreciate it Kathryn Stratford. Some folks just have cookies, but many have the cake too!
You're welcome. Check out some of my daughter's hubs: carnelian. She writes about her adventures there. I used to live there (6 yrs) while married to a 'Yooper' I hope you get back...it is a piece of heaven on earth.
Thanks so much Thelma. There are so many delicious german cookies, I bet this would be a great tradition there. I'm glad you enjoyed the hub.
I have never heard of this Cookie Table tradition, but I know that when it´s Christmas time in Germany, lots of mothers and grannys are baking cookies for relatives and friends. I have done that, too. Baking 200 pieces of different cookies just for my family and friends for this occasion as a gift or when visitors came.
Voted up and very informative. Thanks for sharing.
That is very funny. I think I like cookies better too! I do love the Upper Peninsula though. We have been there once and I was blown away by how beautiful it was. We really want to go back. Thanks Denise.
In the weddings in Upper Michigan there is often 'potluck' and the joke there is that you can't have a wedding without serving 'ham rolls' Slices of lunch (boiled) ham stuck between a buttered dinner roll.
Thanks so much Denise! I love that this idea could be used at any event! I appreciate the support.
What an awesome and interesting hub! I've never heard of this, nor have I been to a wedding that had this. I recently went to a baby shower, however, that had something similar-a cookie/chocolate covered pretzel table. They also chose cupcakes in lieu of a sheet cake. Rated up/I/U/A will Pinn.
I appreciate the visit DReilly. It's nice that the tradition is spreading around and nobody can resist all the goodies on a cookie table.
Thanks alexandriaruthk. You are right. Everybody loves cookies! I appreciate the comments.
My cousin had a cookie table at her wedding in Fort Wayne. The aunts had made an amazing variety of cookies. The family is from Pittsburgh. I didn't realize this was a Pittsburgh tradition. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! I learn something new. Who does not like a cookie? Nice insight into the wedding tradition in Pittsburgh too.
Thanks ElleBee! It is definitely good for folks on a budget. Most people are happy to bake a big plate of cookies for a special occasion like a wedding! I appreciate the comments.
I have never heard of this tradition but it looks like an awesome one! And i agree with cybershelley on loving the lights under the table skirt. This would be a great option for a DIY wedding as well, assuming you have enough friends and family to recruit as bakers this could be a good way to cut costs for a couple on a budget.
Thank you hannahclaire! I'm glad you enjoyed the hub.
Thanks so much for sharing CyberShelley! This is definitely a fun tradition that I hope other people try! Happy New Year!
A wonderful tradition that deserves to be spread. The lights under the table's skirts is awesome. As for the recipe, its definitely another one of your keepers. Sharing the fun!
I appreciate the comments vibesites! I'm glad you enjoyed the hub.
Thanks Sharyn. Ha - you are right, 2 lbs of better can't be wrong...Hopefully more people will do something like this at their wedding.
This sounds new to me but it's a great idea for a dinner setting, a table just for cookies. Awesome pics, the cookies really do look yummy. Voted up and interesting.
I never heard of this tradition but it is awesome! And that nut horn recipe, oh my, that is something that I would love. Heck, it starts with 2 lbs. of butter! Interesting and fun hub GTF!
I appreciate the comments pstraubie. I think it a great tradition for any wedding. Who does not like cookies?!
Thanks so much shiningirisheyes! I appreciate the comments and it definitely a tradition that everyone loves!
Fantastic tradition I would gladly be a part of! This is a great hub as well. From the stellar descriptions, the recipe, the ingredient caloric count to the delicious looking pictures, you covered it all!
Thanks so much Eddy! I appreciate the support. I have to make Christmas cookies all day, not nearly as fancy as these though!
So very interesting and here's to voting across/up and share. Enjoy your day.
Thanks teaches. Most people do head to this table first although sometimes they don't wheel it out until dessert time. It's also really hard not to keep going back, just to make sure that all the cookies have been checked out.
Thanks vespawoolf! The best part is definitely sampling the different cookies. I bet you would have some great ones at the table!
This is so awesome! If I ever get to go to a Pittsburgh wedding I will certainly head for this table first. What a wonderful idea and I'm sure that it is a tradition well kept by many couples.
I've never heard of this tradition, but I'm all for it! I definitely want to try it someday. I'm afraid I'd have to sample every cookie, though! What an elegant and fun idea. Thanks!
Hi ESPeck - I think that is an awesome idea for a wedding vow renewal! And depending on your plans it could be really formal or nice and laid back. Thanks for commenting!
What a cool idea! I've always liked the idea of the whole family contributing to events like weddings.
Maybe we'll go for something like this for our vow renewal!
I'm always fascinated at the different things people do at weddings. This is one of the sweetest! I appreciate the comments GiblinGirl!
Thanks ignugent! I love traditions too. They are so much fun, especially when I learn a new one.
I've never heard of this but it sounds awesome. I wish we had had something like that at my wedding - although our reception venue did provide a really nice spread for us.
The display looks so elegant. Thanks for sharing this wonderful ideas.
I admire the beauty of traditions.
Thank you PaisleeGal. As for other cakes, it depends on the wedding, many now incorporate a wedding cake and sometimes a grooms cake as well. Interesting about the kids's cookie table. I would think a lot of adults would go try to sneak a few cookies too. I appreciate the comments.
I've never heard of this tradition. But it sounds like a lot of fun and family involvement. Is there also a wedding & groom cake? I did go to a wedding once and the couple were both involved in children's ministries. They had a separate reception area for the kids and had mounds and mounds of cookies. Good hub .. voted up !
Thanks so much Stephanie. I agree with you that it is nice to include many friends and family. Went to a cookie exchange the other day so between writing this and exchanging cookies I am all cookied out for the time being.
I've never been to a wedding with a cookie table, but I LOVE the idea! What a great way for friends and relatives to contribute to the celebration, and I'm sure the guests just love taking some samples home. Your lead picture is lovely with the twinkling lights beneath the table skirts!
Well - if you have a cookie at your last family wedding fpherj, then I should probably be invited LOL since I reminded you of this tradition. Or at least you could send me a cookie! Glad you enjoyed the hub. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks mhatter. This would be a great tradition to start anywhere! I appreciate the comments.
Hi Bill - You just need to get more wedding invitations. This is definitely a fun tradition, albeit a little fattening! Thanks for commenting.
Thanks so much Jeannieinabottle! - Candy tables are awesome too. I am with you, anything sweet is great.
How YUMMY! I have been to a couple of weddings that had a cookie table......not quite as elaborate as the one pictured (That's quite a gorgeous table!!) but, just as delicious I'm sure. I don't think I ever ate as many cookies in one sitting in my life....But how can you help it? They're THERE and just calling out your name.
This is a lovely tradition, that I intend to keep in mind for what will be the LAST wedding in my family. We might as well do it up SUPER huge!
Hi Jackie - It is a good tradition. Too bad there are not more of them like this! I appreciate the comments.
What a delightful tradition. Thank you for enlightening me. I have never heard of this before.
I love the way you provide so much information with the Tips Table, and Cookie dough recipe! I'll be using that recipe for sure!
Voted up and awesome....pinned too!
This sounds like the greatest tradition ever! Now I want to go hang out in Pittsburgh. Recently, I went to a wedding that had a "Candy Bar." I was not familiar with this tradition either. The entire table was filled with bowls full of candy and bags so you could take as much as you wanted for later. I think a Cookie Table and a Candy Bar at a wedding would be the greatest event ever. Thanks for sharing! Voted up!
Mm, only now do I know of this! Love the notion and thanks for the recipe and great info and photos!
Thanks for the comments Carol! They definitely serve dinner too. The cookies are usually after the dinner, although, unless there is a big unveiling, people go up to take a look and maybe snag a cookie. They even serve wedding cake too (not always, but a lot of the time).
This is really fascinating and I have never heard of this. Do they serve regular food also or just millions of cookies. Great mouthwatering photos.
I really appreciate the support Lord. You definitely know your cookie tables if your ex is from this area. It's one of those great traditions that everyone loves and remembers. Thanks!
Hi Janine - Thanks so much for commenting. I'm glad I could bring back some memories! I love chocolate fountains. Greatest invention in a long time!
Thanks to Janine for bringing me uninvited to this party. My ex wife is from Washington PA and have seen these parties taking place in Slovakian social clubs and other Eastern churches neat Donora and Charleroi PA. Love the history intro and the recipe. Now I'm pretty much hungry! The lay out is perfectly done Glimmer Twin. Thanks and sharing as well!
Awesome Glimmer Twin Fan, we had the Venetian Hour at our wedding and we had tons of cookies and even a chocolate fountain, too. You truly just brought back some wonderful memories from that day for me. Thanks seriously for sharing!!


This is a college preparatory program designed for students who plan to further their knowledge in the health care field. All students will receive nursing assistant training.

Those who sucessfully complete the program are eligible to take the state nursing assistant exam and become certified nursing assistants. A course in anatomy and physiology is also provided. Students will study nutrition, CPR, first aid, growth & development and human behavior. A total of 4 credits are awarded which include 2 credits in Anatomy and Physiology.


The aim of the thesis was to study the effect of liquid-solid contact on the thermal cracking of heavy hydrocarbons carried out in Fluid Cokers. The research has been carried out using a Mechanically Fluidized Reactor (MFR) in which the operating conditions of the Fluid CokingTM reactions can be simulated and monitored. The first part of the research, aimed at investigating the effect of agitation on liquid-solid contact, which was carried out by changing the rotation speed of the agitator of the MFR for both non-reactive as well as for reactive systems. In both situations, it was observed that the liquid-solid contact improved as the agitator speed increased. Increasing the agitator speed greatly reduced the undesired coke product and increased the yield of valuable liquids.
The effect of liquid properties on liquid-solid contact, and how the liquid-solid contact affects heat and mass transfer in non-reacting and reacting systems was also studied. It was observed that liquid-solid contact improved when the liquid properties, such as wettability, surface tension and latent heat of vaporization were reduced, whereas phase separation of liquid feed degraded the liquid-solid contact for non-reactive as well as for reactive systems.
Finally, the effect of the solid bed material on the liquid-solid contact for non-reactive as well reactive systems was studied. It was observed that the contact angle between the bed particle and the feed droplet plays an important role in the selection of the bed material for reactor operation.

It's been 4 years since The Irradiates' last LP Revenge of the Plants and though we've had some Arno de Cea & the Clockwork Wizards albums to keep us happy in the meantime, it might be a little disheartening to see that this is a collection of rarities, unreleased tracks and live cuts if you were expecting an album.
Let me suggest that you skip the first track. It's a good song, but it's got a thin garage-surf sound that gets the wrong idea across.
After 4 years this New Orleans local surf punk band has put out their third release. Every Bills release has sounded better than the last, and this one lets you know it right from the first loud and heavy note of guitar. And they're proud of it; even though half of this album is vocal, the guitars are always just as loud.
After their promising 2016 EP "Here Come the Delstroyers" these Seattleites have thrown together a longplayer for us. And it's a lot of fun.
The Quaketones release The Quaketones!
The Quaketones caught me with my pants down. I had only heard about them a day before this poped up on bandcamp despite them being from New Orleans.
The Unnaturals have been showing New Orleanians what instrumental rock & roll is about since before I found my way to a local frequency, and we're lucky to have such a unique group stick around this long.
Mark Malibu and the Wasagas were a second wave surf group up in Toronto that have recently reformed. I won't pretend that I already knew that, but I believe this is their second LP and their first recordings since 1981!
This is the second longplayer from Tsunami Experiment and though it plays less long than their last one (8 tracks vs 15), I get a better sense of emotion here.
Argentina's Megatronadores impressed me with their first EP Wedwedn. It had a great wide open and free-floating feeling to it while still keeping a significant heft and drive. I had a feeling that with their follow-up they would only expand and try new things, and sure enough the result is a expansive, extremely creative work that makes for a wonderous listen even if its tether to surf is pretty thin.
For 25 years Spain's Los Coronas have been pumping out first-rate surf records. It's been 4 years since their last LP Adios Sancho and Señales de Humo (Smoke Signals for us english speakers) builds on that sound, but even after one listen I think it exceeds their last effort.
When I saw people talking about getting this album from The Southern Surf Stomp this past weekend, I was wondering how long it would be until I could get a copy. Not long it turns out!
Like their name itself, Los Seitans have a sound that's almost evil but ends up just having fun. They've got a trashy sound and a lot of horror themes, but keep finding their way back into something less dreary.
On their third release I think Los Ultraman finally found their groove. Their last two releases showed moments of interesting ideas that never quite found their way into something that worked for me. The opening track "Non DNA Man" immediately shows off where they've gone: a pastiche of familiar surf riffs with wild saxophone riffs slowly getting wilder and more effect-driven, eventually spiraling into some Sun Ra spaciness before kicking right back into gear.
I'm sure a lot of y'all have seen that viral video of a guy playing metal songs without distortion only to reveal surf songs underneath. I'm sure somebody thought what many have yelled "Play some Slayer". And here we are: Reign in Blood, done as a surf record, with a crudely drawn, crudely conceived band name "Surfyer". I love it.
First off, it's a good band name. A pretty normal sounding surf band name until you say it aloud and realize the pun.
Oh boy, this is a conundrum. Maybe you've heard of The Men in Gray Suits... but maybe you're thinking of Men in Grey Suits. Hashtag SurfRockProblems.
In a peculiar move, Las Olas double down on their bleak, dreary guitar work and add a helping of bongos. This LP, their second, expands their range of instruments and explores different rhythms, but the overall tone is a step towards horror surf -- maybe more Hitchcock than Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I found "Tormenta" and "El Fantasma" to be highlights, though "Plutons" wandering through Brazillian rhythms, jazzy moments and a touch of theremin make for an oddball number.

Charitable giving and tax reform
April 25, 2019 /0 Comments/in Blog /by lstaxservices_i8x1k2
I saw several predictions from various sources that charitable organizations would suffer greatly from the tax reform act. Because of the large increases to standard deductions in the tax reform act, far less taxpayers are itemizing deductions. Therefore the prediction was that since less people would get a tax benefit from charitable deductions that many would stop donating to charities.
I have always believed that people donated to charity because they cared about the particular cause they were supporting and not because of the tax deduction. According to a survey by the Blackbaud Institute, apparently I was right. Although far less taxpayers benefited from charitable deductions, overall charitable giving increased by roughly 1.5% according to their data.
Many people are very confused when it comes to tax law and believe that anything that lowers their tax liability must be a good thing. Let me briefly explain how a taxpayer benefits from a charitable contribution. Let's assume that Tommy Taxhater is single and makes over 500,000 in income and is in the top tax bracket of 37%. If he already has enough deductions to benefit from itemizing deductions, an additional 10,000 donation to a qualified charity would save him 3,700 in federal taxes. (10,000 x 37%) What a great deal. Tommy just paid 10,000 for a 3,700 dollar benefit. If Tommy is passionate about the charity and wants to give them 10,000 then he gets to support the charity of his choice and also as a bonus he gets a tax deduction, but donating solely for a tax deduction makes no sense.
If you happen to know anyone who still insists on doing things solely because they are tax deductible, I would be happy to direct them to a number of local charities that could make good use of however much they would like to donate.

These angular masks were created by the ALHAMBRA-survey Team. The corresponding ALHAMBRA data release (v1.0, Nov 2013) is described in Molino et al. (2014), and can be accessed at https://cloud.iaa.csic.es/alhambra/.
These masks take a conservative approach, with the aim of studying large-scale structure, they may not be optimal for other applications. Use your best judgement, and contact us if in doubt.
The masks were created using the Mangle software, Swanson et al. (2008), and are written in its polygon format. You will need to install this software in order to use them. Please, refer to Mangle's webpage to for help on using that software.
Each of the files correspond to a single ALHAMBRA frame (each ALHAMBRA field is composed of 4 or 8 frames, see Appendix A in Molino et al. 2014 for details). The names follow the same convention as in the data release.
Any overlap between frames has ben eliminated, so you can directly combine the masks from several frames (e.g. to create a complete field's mask) using the Mangle tools.
If you want to use the public ALHAMBRA data and these masks, the first step should be to select only the objects in the catalogues that fall inside the angular mask. You can use the included Python script alhambra_mask_selection.py to achieve this.
To run the script, you will need to have Python, NumPy and Mangle installed. The environment variable MANGLEBINDIR should point to Mangle's bin directory.
will create a new file alhambra.F02P01C02_masksel.cat containing only the objects in the catalogue that fall inside the angular mask (it will produce also a log file).
A few options regarding the names of input/output files, etc. can be changed directly at the beginning of the code.
You are free to use these angular masks for any purpose, under the condition that you cite both Molino et al. 2014 (where ALHAMBRA data is described) and Arnalte-Mur et al. 2014 (where the definition of these masks is described).

Schubert - Death and the Maiden
Composer Franz Schubert
Performer Chiaroscuro Quartet
Release date Oct 2018
One of the truly iconic works in the repertoire for string quartet, Franz Schubert's Death and the Maiden is named after the song which has lent its theme to the second movement. At the end of Matthias Claudius's poem, which Schubert had set as a 20-year-old in 1817, Death cradles the Maiden in his bony embrace. And her fear, in the first verse, of encountering his tomb-cold touch is mirrored by his desire for her in the second.&&& In Schubert's life time, death was a constant presence in everyday life and even a young person like himself would have encountered it at close quarters – in fact, his own mother had passed away when he was only 15.
When Schubert returns to the song in 1824 and starts work on the string quartet, death has nevertheless grown even more real: in the meantime he has become acquainted with pain and disease during the bouts of the syphilis that he knows will kill him. He turns the song into a set of variations, preceding it with a ferocious Allegro, and following it with a Scherzo and a Finale that have been described as 'the dance of the demon fiddler' and 'a dance with death'. The acclaimed Chiaroscuro Quartet performs the work on gut strings, which brings out the vulnerability and desperation even further. The players then let us down gently with the youthful String Quartet No. 9 in G minor, a work in which the minor key offers Schubert the opportunity to play with light and shadows, rather than full-scale drama.

World's first 'coronavirus drone delivery service' could bring food to those self-isolating
Charlotte Edwards, Digital Technology and Science Reporter
Apr 3 2020, 7:21 ET
Updated: Apr 3 2020, 8:02 ET
A WORLD first drone delivery service is launching next week.
The flying tech will be used to carry food and medicine to self-isolating people during the coronavirus pandemic.
The aim of the drones is to help people who can't go out for suppliesCredit: Manna
The project will launch in the village of Moneygall in Ireland.
The UK air traffic control service has also been in talks about bringing the drones to Britain but nothing has been confirmed yet.
The autonomous drone, which was made in Wales, will take off from a delivery station and will carry goods over a four-mile radius.
It can travel at up to 50 miles per hour and carry up to 9lb worth of goods.
Manna Aero is the Irish start-up company behind the projectCredit: Manna Aero
When it reaches its destination it will hover at around 30ft in the air and the recipient should receive a smartphone notification.
The drone then uses cameras to find a safe space to drop off the package.
This may be in a garden or driveway.
The 1.75 metres by 2.1 metres drone doesn't have to land to do this.
Manna Aero is the start-up behind the drone project.
It thinks each of its drones could make around 100 trips a day.
Manna Aero has signed a deal with an unnamed pharmaceutical company in order to launch the trial next Monday.
The service is free.
According to The Times, Bobby Healy, the chief executive of Manna, said: "This is targeted at the elderly and the vulnerable; people who have been told to stay inside their homes.
"What they need is critical food supplies and prescription medication and that's what we will deliver.
""We can carry anything between two and four kilos and can travel for a four miles radius so can easily cover any suburban or rural town with a strong delivery service."
The original plan was the launch the drone service as a partnership with delivery service Just Eat but this had to be suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Next weeks trial is thought to be the start of the world's first full-scale drone delivery service.
The UK Department for Transport revealed its own plans to test drone deliveries last month.
This test could deliver urgent medical supplies between hospitals in Southampton and Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
The UK's drone code – how should you fly?
Here's the official advice from the CAA...
Always keep your drone in sight. This means you can see and avoid other things while flying
Stay below 400 feet (120 metres) to comply with the drone code. This reduces the likelihood of a conflict with manned aircraft
Every time you fly your drone, you must follow the manufacturer's instructions. Keep your drone, and the people around you, safe
Keep the right distance from people and property. People and properties, 150 feet (50 metres) / Crowds and built-up areas, 500 feet (150 metres)
You are responsible for each flight. Legal responsibility lies with you. Failure to fly responsibly could result in criminal prosecution
Stay well away from aircraft, airports and airfields when flying any drone. It is illegal to fly them inside the airport's flight restriction zone without permission. If your drone endangers the safety of an aircraft, it is a criminal offence and you could go to prison for five years
