Simon Watkinson
Internationally renowned photographer Simon Watkinson has over 25 years of experience in professional Photography. Simon gained his Associateship qualification with BIPP in 2004.
Simon has always had a keen interest in photography and was given his first SLR camera as an eight year old. Photography is something that is in the family genes, as Simon's grandfather was a professional photographer, back as far as the turn of the 20th Century!
Simon's professional career as a photographer began in 1987 when he was appointed by British Food Manufacturing Industries Research Association (B.F.M.I.R.A.), where Simon undertook the photography of promotional material, product launches, and the photography (documenting) of scientific experiments. Simon was also involved in the whole process of developing the images. It was apparent already that Simon had such an in-depth knowledge of photography that already he was being called upon to train others within the company in photography and photographic technique.
Simon left this position to complete not one, but two worldwide tours, armed with a camera! After this Simon interspersed his career with employment in photographic labs and self-employment as a photographer, completing weddings, portraits and commercial work, whilst living in central London. However his love of the countryside drove him to live ever further North- until he finally settled at his current home in the Peak District National Park. It is here that he has become ever more involved in his passion of Landscape Photography and also set up the very first digital photography training centre (The Peak District Photography Centre) back in 2003.
Simon now specialises in Travel and Landscape Photography and attracts clients internationally both to his courses at home in the Peak District and around the World. Simon has Authored an App for iPad and iPhone as well as writing two eBooks titled Mastering your DSLR camera and Mastering DSLR Travel Photography, which are available on the iBook store.
During his career Simon has been commissioned to produce numerous images, which have been used in various publications such as books, journals, brochures, websites, cards and calendars. Simon is widely recognised as a photographer and also for his Digital Imaging expertise. He is an experienced tutor with a unique and entertaining style and has the ability to produce a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The Spout Farmhouse
'The Spout' is an 18th Century property set in the Peak District National Park, amongst some of the most stunning countryside that Britain has to offer. The land surrounding The Spout is of particular interest to botanists for the rare plants and flowers. Of particular interest around the property is the rapidly declining Marsh Lousewort or Red Rattle (Pedicularis palustris). In the early summer there are an abundance of orchids, which grow wild.
Numerous species of wildlife are in the immediate vicinity of The Spout. There are Hares, Curlew, Lapwing, Snipes and Barn Owls. There are also of course Blackbirds, Sparrows, Swallows, Pheasants, Herons and also bats- which can be seen darting past the house at dusk! The quarter mile stone track leading to The Spout can often be a real treat, with Hares and Pheasants most commonly seen at all times during the day and an abundance of Curlew during the Spring / Summer months. The wildlife and the variety of local landscapes on offer, from marsh to pasture, moorland to craggy cliff faces makes this area of the countryside a very interesting place to be and to photograph.
Tammy is the Business Manager for World In Focus.
Tammy was a full time professional model and it was quite by chance that Tammy came to be behind the camera. She first met Simon whilst working as a model on the Workshops that he ran (Peak District Photography Centre). It was from here that she learnt all about Photography and Studio Lighting- all whilst sat in on the courses. She got the opportunity back in 2006 to assist Simon in setting up the Photographic Studio after a horse riding accident left him needing help! From there she discovered a real interest in the Studio and after much tuition from Simon over the preceding years, got to the standard she is at today.
With her background in modelling, Tammy's main interest is shooting for model portfolios. Tammy gained her Licentiateship with the British Institute of Professional Photography in 2011, for her model testing work.
World In Focus is set only an hours drive away from several major cities, such as Manchester, Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham and Stoke On Trent. Set in the Peak District and close to the Staffordshire Moorlands the land surrounding World In Focus / The Spout Farmhouse offers huge contrast of scenery in very close proximity.
The diverse nature of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire landscape with its rugged hills and tranquil valleys, dry stone walls, picturesque villages and heather clad moorlands provides the perfect setting for photographers of all capabilities to relax in and enjoy their photographic interests. Simon has vast experience behind the camera in Landscape settings the world over and knows just the perfect location to take clients based on the weather, time of year, time of day etc…
We hope to meet you soon!

During July-December 2014, with the use of "public diplomacy", Russia actively offered itself to the US as a partner in order to resolve a number of international issues (Syria, ISIS, Ebola, etc.).
In August last year, the Boisto Plan was published. It was developed with the participation of the American diplomat Henry Kissinger and representatives of two relevant Russian universities (in particular, the Institute for US and Canadian Studies). In September, there was a PR-campaign conducted by major US and Russian media outlets. As its final chord, the head of analytical agency Stratfor George Friedman visited Moscow in December. He was invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, where the parameters of American-Russian cooperation on resolving global problems, especially the conflict in Syria, have been discussed.
The deterioration of the situation in Syria during July-December made the Kremlin's proposal more attractive for Washington. It seems that a turning point was in December 2014 after the publication of a RAND Corp. report, in which the US official foreign policy course's goal of overthrowing the Syrian president was called a mistake. According to the RAND Corp., weakening the Syrian regime will only complicate the much greater problem of ISIS expansion given that the US-supported Syrian opposition representatives and the Iraqi government failed to deal with the group themselves. Even airstrikes on terrorists' positions carried out by allies' air forces have not helped. In these circumstances, the Obama's administration decided to use the Kremlin's mediating services in order to try to reconcile the pro-American Syrian opposition with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which is openly supported by Putin. For this purpose, on January 26-28, three-day negotiations between the two opposing sides were held in Moscow. Also, contact between the US Secretary of State John Kerry and the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was significantly intensified.
For Ukraine, this cooperation has already resulted in the quite moderate and one-day-postponed US president's reaction to the terrorist act in Mariupol, as well as in the postponement of an emergency meeting of foreign ministers of EU member states from January 26 to 29 – that will be the day after the extremely important Moscow negotiations on Syria. Most likely, it would be undesirable to complicate these negotiations by discussing the continued controversies on the Ukrainian question.
The "Syrian shift" in US foreign policy may lead to a number of consequences for Ukraine. The further shift of the US administration's attention from Ukraine to ISIS is also possible. In this respect, the United States' cool attitude toward the Syrian opposition is extremely significant. It should be noted that Washington went against the Syrian opposition's interests in order to achieve a priority goal – the destruction of ISIS.
Shifting the burden of solving the Syrian problem to the shoulders of Moscow is a symptom of the growing soft isolationism of the Obama administration. The US president prefers to pay the lion's share of attention to the United States' internal problems (health care reform, racial integration, etc.) and in many cases limit its foreign policy priorities to maintaining the world order. Ukraine is thus viewed by Obama in that context. In practical terms, this means a visible moralistic rhetoric with a minimum of real actions.
If the Moscow negotiations turn out to be successful, one can predict the breakthrough of international isolation and a partial rehabilitation of Russia in the eyes of the international community. However, one should not expect a global agreement between the US and Russia on the Ukrainian issue, as in addition to a tactical agreement on Syria, there are deep contradictions between the two countries, i.e. regarding nuclear disarmament (test-launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile "Bulava", Russia's claims over the INF deployment in Europe etc.). It is unlikely that the US rhetoric on Ukraine will be rapidly changed, but gradually the Ukrainian issue will become less important. And the importance of Russian partnership to address critical international issues will remain. Therefore, it is necessary for Ukraine's diplomats to elaborate new parameters regarding the settlement of the conflict with the RF and not to rely only upon its American partners so as to not find out one day that the solution of the Ukrainian conflict has become a part of a broader package deal between both geopolitical players.

Exactly Exactly Exactly How Egg Farms Will Minimize Killing Scores Of Male Chicks
For an egg farm, male chicks are no more than a nuisance. They don't lay eggs, needless to say. And egg-laying types don't develop big enough to market for meat. A year, according to the farm animal advocates at the Humane League so according to the cold, hard economics of the factory farm, male chicks are ground up or gassed soon after they hatch—hundreds of millions.
That grisly training might end quickly. United Egg Producers, which represents the vast majority of the country's egg farms, recently announced it's going to stop culling chicks that are male 2020. It's going to rather explore high-tech techniques that will ID an egg as man or woman simply a day or two after it is set, also referred to as in ovo sexing. But no one comes with a commercial scale device that can sex an incredible number of eggs; the technology is still young.
The speed from which the united states industry has consented to end culling is unusual.
Another campaign, for cage-free eggs, happens to be a success—but it had been very very long, expensive, and clearly maybe perhaps not great PR for the egg industry. "We possessed a relationship that is tense United Egg Producers," claims Humane League professional manager David Coman-Hidy. Then when it found the dilemma of culling, the Humane League decided maybe it's more direct: It went right to United Egg Producers and asked to exert effort together. a couple of months later on, the collaborators arrived on the scene using their announcement to end culling of male chicks. (United Egg Producers just isn't providing interviews on this issue.)
One reasons why the egg industry could have been more prepared to play ball in this instance? Going cage-free massively complicates the logistics of an egg that is existing sexing eggs might streamline it. Sexing chicks calls for people, expertly trained people whom get each chick and fit out its feces until its genitalia become visible. The real difference is quite delicate. As well as the entire thing is interestingly labor-intensive.
If farms can determine a male egg simply a day or two after laying, they don't need certainly to pay to incubate dozens of male eggs for 21 times before they hatch. The eggs are fertilized, so they won't become within the supermarket. However they could be redirected somewhere else, like in making flu vaccines, designed to use up some 100 million fertilized eggs each year.
How exactly to Intercourse an Egg
That's all presuming farms can reliably sex eggs thousands at the same time. Two teams into the Netherlands and Germany have actually contending some ideas when it comes to way that is best to get it done.
A group has been studying chicken sex chromosomes for the past decade at the University of Leipzig in Germany. In wild buy ukrainian brides wild wild birds, the male chromosome is somewhat bigger than a feminine chromosome. So that the team works on the laser to cut a hole out lower than a quarter-inch wide when you look at the shell, shining infrared light onto the net of blood vessels inside. Centered on how a light scatters, they are able to find out whether or not the chick has male or female chromosomes. Shining and analyzing takes about 15 to 20 moments per egg. Maria Krautwald-Junghanns Elisabeth, who heads within the task, states she expects to show the technology towards the government that is german summer time 2017.
A Dutch startup called In Ovo has another idea that makes use of chemistry as opposed to light. A machine used in the vaccine-making process, actually—to extract a tiny bit of allantoic fluid in Ovo takes a small needle—from. "It's the waste case for the embryo. It appears to be a bit like urine.," says cofounder Wouter Bruins. They operate the test by way of a mass spectrometer, which vaporizes the egg fluid and actively seeks one molecule that is specific. Bruin wouldn't divulge which molecule its, but he stated their company's boffins can identify intercourse distinctions by nine with 95 percent accuracy 1 day . The mass spec test takes four moments per egg.
The very first batch of eggs they tested really just hatched around three weeks hence. The organization has partnered because of the four largest Dutch hatcheries in addition to Sanovo tech Group, which makes egg managing machines.
After the technology for detecting intercourse distinctions is reliable, integrating it to the egg farm will be pretty easy actually, says Bruins. "Hatcheries now are quite automated," he says. Devices already grab and sort away unfertilized eggs by shining light through them (It's called candling, a title that invokes the past of agriculture). Sexing the eggs is simply a matter of incorporating an ensure that you another round of sorting into the system. The original price of egg sexing devices might wipe away any cost savings, but it'll be worth every penny for an egg industry seeking to burnish its ethical reputation.
Like numerous things, the technology to intercourse eggs exist in a lab, nonetheless it requires a nudge to be commercially viable. It requires, you may state, a startup incubator. The United Egg Producers' commitment will definitely assist.
1 IMPROVE 6/21/16 11:40 ET: This tale happens to be updated with all the proper quantity of times before In Ovo can sex chicken eggs.

Crescent Bay Council Den Mothers participated in their own special training.
Beginning in the late 1940's, Los Angeles Area Council teamed up with the May Co. department store to sponsor the annual Den Mother's workshop. The one-day program included information on den organization and activities for Cub Scouts. May Co. Den mother workshops were conducted annually through 1963.
Two years later, Crescent Bay Council began organizing its own scaled back version of the Den Mother Workshops, which were organized on a District level.
Over lapping the Work Shops, the Council's training committee developed Cub leader programs in the early 1960's. This training was open to Den Mothers and other parents involved with Cub Packs.

Drops-Le Col s/b Tempur's Tom Varney: "we want to be the best team in the world"
The team manager on rider wellness, a successful season, and WorldTour ambitions
Words: Amy Jones
For Drops-Le Col s/b Tempur, the 2021 season has been one of their most successful in recent years. After becoming a UCI team in 2016 the British-based squad have built up a reputation for identifying talent and punching above their weight in big races, but it is the character of the team that makes them stand out.
Last time Rouleur caught up with Drops, they had just launched their rider wellness programme, a series of steps to improve the welfare of riders both mentally and physically. The programme included menstrual cycle tracking, sleep monitoring and nutritional support with help from former pro Dr Claire Rose. Six months on, how has the team found the programme in action?
"We've been discussing this the last few weeks," says Drops-Le Col general manager, Tom Varney. "We could have definitely learned more from it. But it's not for the want of trying, it's more down to budget and time."
Sign up to our women's newsletter
The time and resource constraints meant that the team had to prioritise riders with immediate needs. "There have been a couple of riders that have got their period back which has been really amazing and essentially one of the goals of the whole programme," Varney explains. "But we've definitely missed having more support from a nutrition point of view or maybe a psychological point of view. And that's something we're working on."
The first year of the programme, he concedes, "was more about starting the conversation. Some riders gravitated towards it more than others, some learned a lot, some didn't learn much, because they were already in sync with it." Drops Le Col general manager Tom Varney
Despite being a work in progress the team have seen improvements as a result of the programme. "Just general wellbeing and starting that conversation for riders to really think about it has been really beneficial," says Varney. "Whether it's sleep or nutrition, or menstrual cycles. It's looking at that time off the bike, what they are doing is definitely as, if not more, important than what they're doing on the bike." And there is more to come: "There's a few things we've got planned, performance testing, blood values, bone densities and that whole programme will expand a bit more."
While rider wellbeing is at the heart of the programme, the team have seen tangible performance improvements since implementing it: "In performance terms we've gone from 33rd in the world to 16th," says Varney. "So we're doing something right."
The diligence the team applies to rider wellbeing also extends to the technical and logistical elements of racing at the highest level. Before the inaugural Paris Roubaix in October the team had completed multiple course recons and worked with their sponsors to ensure that the riders would be armed with the best possible equipment. On the day, 25-year-old Marjolein Van 't Geloof rode to 13th place – an impressive result for a Continental rider. "She recced that [course] five times," says Varney. "Three times with ourselves and she went twice by herself. So for us it was no surprise she was going to do well."

The team's biggest breakthrough of 2021, however, has been Joscelin Lowden. The 34-year-old has been part of Drops since 2019 and the squad have nurtured her developing career after she started out late in the sport. From the 2021 season Lowden's results include, the overall at the 2.2 Tour de Feminin, 5th place at Brabantse Pijl, and, in October, she claimed the Hour Record.

Lowden's results were enough to catch the eye of multiple WorldTour teams, but it wasn't until one with a similar emphasis on rider wellbeing came along in the form of Uno-X that she put pen to paper. "I think she has benefited from the environment we have. But there's no doubt that she's one of the most hardworking and focused riders I've ever had the pleasure to deal with," says Varney. "It's a shame she's leaving... she is added to the list of riders that have gone through the programme into the World Tour and hopefully one day we'll go with them."

The team have long had ambitions to join the highest tier of the sport, but, says Varney: "We don't want to just go to the WorldTour, we want to do it the right way. We've not necessarily had a chance to do it at all. So we also need to be aware of that, but we want to sign big riders and be able to support them and have everything in place to be able to do that."
Varney explains that the team wanted to apply for a 2022 WorldTeam license but, in the end, couldn't gather enough resources to apply. He is pragmatic about spending another season at Continental level, however: "I think, one more year will do us the world of good, [to get] a bit more budget in the team," he says. "So this year we had a focus on staff and infrastructure, we moved to Belgium, again, everything's set up there to support a bigger programme. This next year, there's more of a focus on getting the processes right. So the same staff are all staying, three of them had WorldTour offers and they've stayed. Then it's increasing the infrastructure, having the staff more within the team so the processes are correct."

After spending years in women's cycling Varney has his own opinions on the way the sport is going. "I think over the next few years, we'll get more specialists in women's cycling," he says. "At the moment the best riders ride all the races, when on the men's side you wouldn't see Alaphilippe riding Roubaix, and seeing what's happened this year with Niewiadoma and Van Vleuten I'm kind of not surprised."
Like many, he supports the idea of a more structured development pathway and would like to see a ProContinental tier introduced "but races also need to be happy to be a second level race," he says. "So the whole thing needs a bit of thought from the UCI point of view. Not every race can be WorldTour, not every team can be WorldTour, not every rider can be WorldTour."
"I'm not sure it has enough riders for WorldTour, being perfectly honest, or that level rider. So I think there's a need to develop the right way," he adds.

Development has been a core facet of the Drops programme from the outset and in particular nurturing promising young British riders. For 2022, the team has signed two talented youngsters in the form of 18-year-old Flora Perkins and 19-year-old Eluned King. "I don't feel like we've had the best youngsters for a while or a couple of years, so to get that back was quite important [and] with Flora and El, that's happened," he says.
Naturally, Varney is hoping to better the team's successful 2021 as they prepare to make the jump to WorldTour the following season. "The team will be stronger on paper next year. And the way that we run the team and the way it's communicated to the riders that they're fine working for each other at different times, and they know they get it back. There's a really good atmosphere there," he says.
Whether the team reach WWT level in 2023 or beyond, Varney's ambitions are clear: "We want to be the best team in the world," he says. "It seems like such a big thing to say. But we're deadly serious when we say that."

UofTMed Alumni: Our Foray into Health Care Entrepreneurship, in AI and Radiology
We met in our radiology residency at U of T and bonded over our common interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
At the time, many people saw AI as a threat, fearing it would make radiologists obsolete. But we were convinced otherwise.
Both of us loved computer science and engineering (Mark had an engineering degree; Alex started programming as a kid). And we knew recent advances in technology could make a huge difference to medical imaging and diagnostics.
While radiology has advanced "hardware" like MRIs and CT scanners, its "software" side is less impressive. Our external tools to help analyze images consist of a ruler to measure the size of lesions on a scan, and a little circle that helps measure the brightest pixels on the screen.
We got started researching how AI technology could improve X-ray diagnostics and bone age analysis. We won awards — including by the Faculty of Medicine's Health Innovation Hub (H2i), and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) — and launched our start-up company, 16 Bit in 2016.
We just needed to access hundreds of thousands of radiology images to get up and running. That simple, right?

Discussion in 'Acronis True Image Product Line' started by mahkeymike, Sep 1, 2008.
I was wondering if ATI 11 supports making a "one click" restore disc for dual booting XP/OSX on a single drive.I believe XP was C: and OSX was F: and there was a few other partitions Boot Camp created.It took me ages to set this up, and im looking for a simple 1-3 click restore disc incase something goes wrong.Any help would be appreciated.
AFAIK, TI does not support MAC hardware even if it is running XP.
I dont see why not, Its the new Intel Mackbook pro's.All the hardware drivers for windows based OS's are included in the osx install discs.
Edit: Now that i think about it, Even if its possible, its gonna take probably 2 dual layer dvd's for both OS's, and im not even sure ATI 11 supports dual layer burning.
You may have the drivers but does TI have the hooks? Also, when TI restores the active partition it uses a memory-resident Linux version, not Windows, and its weakness is inadequate driver support even for some, usually newer, Windows PCs.
I remember somebody saying they did burn a dual-layer DVD but most of us consider an external USB drive the preferred option for speed and to eliminate DVD swapping on a restore. TI does not read one DVD totally then the next and so on. Some joke that you will wear out the DVD tray before you get a large archive restored.
I'd have thought the rescue CD might work, after all OSx is Linux based.
I would also think, that if TI is installed and loaded under the XP partition or VM then it might be able to do the MAC side using the sector by sector option, as that is what TI Home does for Linux partitions.
The Echo Server versions are different as they come with a Linux agent (just for info purposes that comment).
Here is one of the posts with an Acronis reply. Seems that you might be able to try some tricks but Acronis does not support it.
That thread doesnt really have any "tricks" to get this working, and damn that was back in april! Glad i looked into this before buying TI. No offence to acronis, but you guys should be jumping all over this.
I was referring to bodgy's ideas.
There is of course one way to really find out, download the trial version make a rescue CD on a rewritable CD and report back!
Though for people on restricted download bandwidth, downloading 132MB or so on the off chance it might work, is probably not much fun.

Kasteel De Borggraaf is een kasteel uit 1551 in Lottum in de Nederlandse provincie Limburg. Het is een landhuis met een voorplein en omringende voorgebouwen.

De westvleugel van het hoofdgebouw vertoont, in tegenstelling tot de andere zijden, geen levendige muurvlakken, waarin wel gele mergelbanden zijn verwerkt. De westvleugel onderscheidt zich verder van de rest van het vierkant als afzonderlijk bouwdeel door een onderkeldering (kruisribgewelf met zware zuilen). Een muuranker vermeldt 1555, toen Merten Van Broeckhuysen eigenaar was geworden. Deze heeft het gebouw verder uitgebreid. De voorhof rechts van de poort is duidelijk een 18e-eeuwse toevoeging (muuranker met als jaartal 1743) en het linkerdeel kwam pas in de 19e eeuw tot stand. In 1926 bouwde architect Kaiser uit Venlo nog een toren en een voorhuis tegen de noordelijke buitenmuur.

Het kasteel werd voor het eerst vermeld in 1501, toen het door erfenis in bezit kwam van Peter van Merwijck (zoon van Zeger en Agnes van Broeckhuysen), het werd toen een hof (boerderij) genoemd en geen huis of kasteel. Vermoedelijk was hij degene die het heeft omgevormd tot een representatief landhuis.

New York, 1962–1964: Underground and Experimental Cinema
By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 15/07/2022 - 02:52
Film at Lincoln Center announces New York, 1962–1964: Underground and Experimental Cinema spotlighting the rise of the New American Cinema, running from July 29–August 4.
1962 to 1964 was a pivotal moment in the evolution of American arts and culture, especially in New York City. These years, crucial to the development of Pop, Minimalism, and performance, saw the emergence of a new generation of radical artists, as well as venues that gave their iconoclastic work a home and a context. Movies, meanwhile, were undergoing a transformation of their own: the rise of a truly independent cinema, of works unencumbered by the medium's aesthetic conventions and commercial imperatives.

Discussion with filmmakers Donna Cameron, Jonas Mekas (founder of Anthology Film Archives and founding member of The Filmmakers' Coop), and film critic-programmer Cullen Gallagher.
This event is part of a monthly screening series with The Film-Makers' Cooperative, and focuses on the legacy of American filmmaker Shirley Clarke, thirteen years after her death.
- BRIDGES-GO-ROUND by Shirley Clarke (USA, 1958, 7 minutes, 16mm. Color, Music by Louis & Bebe Barron; Teo Macero)
American filmmaker Shirley Clarke, with whom Cameron worked one-on one from 1987-1990 on their collage portrait work Shirley Clarke in Our Time, created this masterpiece of experimental dance film using Manhattan's Bridges. In this film Manhattan Island becomes a maypole around which its bridges, detached from moorings, execute a bewitched and beguiling dance. The filmmaker has magically set them dancing to two different music tracks- an electronic score by the Barrons and a jazz score by Teo Macero. Each track affects the viewer's response to the imagery of the film differently.

In some cases, client's default, failing to respect repayments schedules as agreed upon in loan contracts letting the Bank with no other option than taking the case in the courts of law. The Bank also happens to be, as claimant or defendant, involved in other litigations related to civil liability and breach of contract. As the Rwandan legislation allows it, BRD Ltd does recourse to repossession process for loan repayment. Consequently, necessitating the services of legal professionals such as Law firm(s). It is against that background that the Bank wishes to hire a law firm (s) on the terms of reference set forth herein.

NSC : NoSuchCon Unsubscribe channel notifications I am interested in this company!
Je suis en veille... Keep me posted!
NoSuchCon presents new and exclusive contents regarding IT security. The conference is a crucible for different IT security experts coming in different flavours: professionals, enthousiasts, hackers ; renowned or more secretive. NoSuchCon conference allows to share best practices ; let new tendencies and exclusive research appear, anticipating the challenges to come.
NoSuchCon is a place for both well-known, top-guns of the cybercommunity, as well as young talented researchers at the dawn of their careers or others presenting their results anonymously. NoSuchCon pursues multiple goals but mostly wants to foster exchange, federating different communities such as students, key actors of the industry, private and public sectors. It also wants to make room for practical demonstrations as well as innovative theoretical findings.
Among the themes of interest will be: vulnerabilities assessments and analysis, SCADA architectures, reverse engineering, attacks on critical infrastructures, Cloud computing security, botnets, Threat Intelligence, etc.
The program committee comprizes some of the best hackers and security researchers worldwide, from both academics and industry, which is a key factor to guarantee quality content. It will be uniquely diverse in its international composition. Bridging over frontiers and sovereignty issues, ideological and economical differences, the program committee looks for people able to share their research findings and propose new concepts.
We met at the last NOSUCHCON hacker's conference.
"Sid" Blancher, the first president of NSA (No Such Association) who left us in November 2013.
The ISS community misses him very much.
Surely enough, he will be with the rest of us to make NSC 2014 an amazing experience.

LG strikes again! When thinking of Androids, most people automatically think of Google's Nexus or Samsung's S series (which I've heard is *ahem* on fire – too soon?), but the Android maker that won my heart is LG. Last summer I reviewed their G4 phone, which was the first Android I ever liked enough to use. Now I'm completely hooked on this series, so when LG asked me to upgrade to the G5, I couldn't resist. Here's my review!
5. The removable battery and SD card slot. I have a big peeve with phones that don't have a removable battery. Like its G4 predecessor, the G5 has a removable battery so you can pop it out if there's an issue or carry extras for a long trip without outlets. Unlike the G4, the G5's battery pops out of the bottom and has a special release button that needs to be pressed (the G4's battery was under the back cover, and more than once it fell right out when I dropped the phone).
4. Rear button control/fingerprint scanner and sleep screen controls. Two other features that have carried over from the G4 arethe on/off button located on the back of the phone and the sleep screen controls. In the G5 the rear button, which is designed to be optimized for both right- and left-handed users, is also a fingerprint scanner to unlock your phone with added security (biometrics are way more secure than a numerical PIN!). The sleep screen controls feature live-updating time and notifications at a glance even when the screen is off, and the ability to turn on and off the screen by double-tapping it.
2. The ultra-wide camera view. Apple's new iPhone 7 is not the first phone to boast two lenses, the LG G5 uses double lenses to implement an ultra-wide landscape view that widens the field of view significantly. Below you'll see a comparison of the regular and ultra-wide views of the same scene. The pictures are completely unedited.
1. The 12+ hour battery life. What a difference a good battery makes. The LG G5's battery lasts upwards of 12 hours with a regular day of use, which is absolutely incredible considering how much I use the phone. I get up around 6:30 AM and use my phone fairly consistently throughout the day, and by the time I go to bed at 11 PM the phone is around 15%.
All things considered, this phone has very few downsides. Functionally I have no complaints, the device runs very smoothly and has never given me any performance issues. The only downsides to this phone are that it is slippery to hold, which makes it easy to drop, and it's a bit too big to reach all corners of the screen with one hand (and I have long fingers).
The LG G5 is a great device with high computing power and some above-and-beyond camera features for visual creators and photography enthusiasts. If you're looking for an Android phone that you can take on your travels or use all day without worrying about battery life, the LG G5 is the phone for you.
This device was gifted to me for review. Curious about my gift and review policy? Check out my blogging philosophy.
Hey Sage! A couple questions – did you have an iPhone before? If so… do you miss iMessage, and do you feel like there are a wider variety of apps available for iPhone users? Those are the main two reasons I've stuck with Apple for my mobile device, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
Hey Karin! I did have an iPhone before, and I don't miss iMessage. I use Messenger as my primary messaging app, and on Android it has a really great interface that pops up as an overlay that doesn't interrupt other apps. As for app variety, both marketplaces are so saturated at this point that I've never been unable to find an app I wanted. Now that I've gone to LG I don't think I'll ever go back to iPhone! Android is so much more flexible and customizable.
