The problem of defining a proverb appears to be as old as man's interest in them. People who consciously used them or began to collect them in antiquity obviously needed to differentiate proverbs from other gnomic devices such as apothegms, maxims, aphorisms, quotations, etc. Not only did such great minds as Aristotle and Plato occupy themselves with the question of what constitutes a proverb, but early Greek paremiographers in particular wrestled with this seemingly insurmountable task as well. Jan Fredrik Kindstrand reviewed some of these early definition attempts in his fascinating paper on "The Greek Concept of Proverbs,"1 and Bartlett Jere Whiting had already in 1932 assembled dozens of definitions from ancient times to the modern age in his remarkable essay on "The Nature of the Proverb."2 The last fifty years since Whiting's detailed study have witnessed highly scholarly articles, monographs and even books which all seek to come to terms with a universal proverb definition. Scholars around the world continue to find their own so-called "working definitions," of which some of the most recent attempts in the English language are those by Shirley Arora, Nigel Barley, Otto Blehr, Margaret Bryant, David Cram, Alan Dundes, Galit Hasan-Rokem, George Milner, Peter Seitel, etc.3 And yet, despite their erudite and important new definitions based on structural, semiotic or linguistic insights, all must eventually agree with the contention of the old master proverb scholar Archer Taylor that "an incommunicable quality tells us this sentence is proverbial and that one is not."4 The newer definitions might in fact fit those sentences which we know already to be proverbial, but, again in the words of the insightful Taylor, "no definition will enable us to identify positively a sentence as proverbial."5 A definition cannot deal with such aspects as currency, tradition and familiarity which certainly are necessary ingredients for a true proverb.
But let us leave the world of the serious paremiologist for a moment and consider Taylor's "maxim" of the incommunicable quality that supposedly tells us what a proverb is. What do non-specialists of proverbs think about them and what are proverbs to them? How do they in fact identify a statement as a proverb and what are the characteristic elements that comprise a proverb in their minds? In other words, what is a proverb today to the general public? In order to answer this question let us look at a sample of 55 proverb definitions which I collected from students, friends and acquaintances in the past year or so. To my knowledge nobody has ever bothered to undertake such a survey, and even though my sample is a relatively small one, it should still be able to give us a basic idea of what people today think a proverb to be. To this I will add an analysis of a number of popular articles on proverbs in magazines and newspapers which have also not been considered by proverb scholars. These essayistic treatments that appeared from 1877 to 1984 in such publications as The New York Times, Saturday Review, Atlantic Monthly, Time, Newsday and others will certainly help to come to terms with a general definition of the proverb as the "folk," and not the scholar, sees it.

This lengthy discussion of the nature of the proverb by Pei reads almost as an attempt of summarizing the common understanding of proverbs. Many of the 55 definitions stated above are similar to Pei's points, and it is amazing to notice how congrous these definitions are to those defining attempts printed in magazines and newspapers. There certainly is much agreement in the non-scholarly world of what a proverb is even if scholars seem to be unable to agree on a reasonable definition at all.
Matti Kuusi once defined proverbs simply as "monumenta humana,"42 and this is exactly what they are to the general population. Our survey of 55 non-academic definitions has shown that proverbs are thought to express human wisdom and basic truths in a short sentence. Popular articles in magazines and newspapers tend to share this view of the proverb. Altogether proverbs are still seen as useful generalizations about life, even if at times their value of appropriateness in certain situations might be questioned. We can poke fun at proverbs, we can ridicule them or we can parody them, but eventually we are all governed by their insights to some degree. Proverbs and their wisdom confront us daily, and modern people seem to have a clear idea of what proverbs are, what they express and what they can do for us. Proverb scholars would do well to pay more attention to the present use of proverbs while obviously also continuing to tackle the frustrating question of whether a universal proverb definition can be found. But in their enduring search for such an erudite definition, they can take solace in the fact that the people using proverbs do know in their minds what makes a good proverb – an incommunicable quality tells them that a short and repeated statement of wisdom, truth and experience must be a proverb.

Are there long stay prices for STUDENTS staying for two years at Gothenburg University?
Hi there, So far we have not had anyone staying here for two straight years so this is not something we normally offer. If you are staying in Gothenburg for studying here for two years I also personally think that you will find some place more suited for your needs than a hostel.
If I book foe one person and one room get I have a room for my onw or have I share it with someone?
How do you guys(the Staff) whom is really Nice and friendly put up with allot of these cranky people? I mean you do your best to make iT a Nice place and iT is deffinitly but the people who come here!!! They seem to have a crudge to eachother and the atmosphere is really grimm! Noticed this in more hostels. Is iT like normal in swedish hostels? Respect to you Guys!!

The Animal Rescue Agency #1: Case File: Little Claws
by Eliot SchreferEliot Schrefer
Audio MP3 on CD
Buy Online, Pick up in Store This lively new series will appeal to fans of Elisabetta Dami's "Geronimo Stilton" and other anthropomorphic animal adventure stories.—Ashley Larsen, Pacifica Libraries, CA
The Animal Rescue Agency, helmed by fox Esquire and rooster Mr. Pepper, saves a stranded polar bear cub.
Mother polar bear Big Claws and her baby, Little Claws, emerge from hibernation only to have Little Claws fall into a trap that leaves him stranded on an ice floe. Big Claws' message for help sets Esquire and Mr. Pepper into action. They hop on a train to Anchorage, then dog-sled to Utqiagvik, Alaska, as the story plunges them into intrigue and action, working against an openly evil wild-animal trafficker. Although the action maintains a steady pace—with captures and escapes aplenty—certain plot elements fall apart under scrutiny. Instead, the focus is on the duo's dynamic, crotchety and full of good-natured insults. Esquire's dashing and flashy—down to her fashion statements—while business-minded Mr. Pepper tends toward the practical. Utqiagvik's description isn't exactly flattering, even given the vulpine perspective, and readers looking for Alaskan Native representation there will be disappointed. The villain is the only human character, described as "gray" but presenting White and looking like a fur hat–wearing Capt. Hook in the cartoon art. Backmatter includes information on how climate change threatens polar bears, along with Mr. Pepper's recipe for mushroom jerky (a favorite of Esquire's, who's sworn off eating animals). Esquire, unlike the other animals, is highly anthropomorphized in the art, mostly going about on two feet. Only she and Mr. Pepper wear clothing.
A well-meaning but only partially successful series opener. (Animal fantasy. 8-12.)

Q: ScriptEngine how to pass a String that represent JSON? I was trying to pass a String object that represents a JSON string from java to javascript function using ScriptEngine in jdk 1.6.
My code works in JSFIDDLE http://jsfiddle.net/hn4yk/13/ but when I try to load it with the ScriptEngine it doesn't work and throws an exception  sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot read property "resultList" from undefined (#1164)
I tested that the variable is passed correctly but the eval or the JSON.parse method doesn't work! I tried to put the library for JSON.parse and my function in the same file!
This is my java code:
public class InvokeScriptMethod {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        InputStream stream = new FileInputStream("C:/Subclipse/TestJavascriptServerSide/jsonInput.txt");
        StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
        IOUtils.copy(stream, writer, "UTF-8");
        String jsonString = writer.toString();

        InputStream javascriptStream = new FileInputStream("C:/Subclipse/TestJavascriptServerSide/Script");
        StringWriter writerScript = new StringWriter();
        IOUtils.copy(javascriptStream, writerScript, "UTF-8");
        String javascriptString = writerScript.toString();

        ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
        ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByExtension("js");

        engine.eval(javascriptString);

        Invocable inv = (Invocable) engine;

        String convertedJson = (String)inv.invokeFunction("convertJSON",jsonString);

        System.out.println("results"+convertedJson);

        // now should I convert it to a writer to reply in a webapplication as response.getWriter().print(convertedJson);
        // and I would like to don't lose the JSON formatting to see data with indentation
    }
}

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

A: The problem was on the jsonInput file I had to put all Json Stream in a single line and it works!

I'm a heavy user of RDP (Remote Desktop, a.k.a. Terminal Services). I don't remember how I ever got any work done before this technology existed. What follows are some miscellaneous tips.
To login to the console session on a Windows 2003 machine, start the Remote Desktop application from the command line with /console. You can also shadow a console session, so a person physically at the machine can interact with the session, too. See: How to Connect to and Shadow the Console Session with Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services. There is also an interesting but Rube Goldbergian trick I've never tried: How To Shadow a Remote Desktop Session in Windows XP Professional.
If you save connection settings in an .rdp file, you can add "connect to console:i:1" to make the console session preference permanent. This page extensively documents other .rdp file parameters.
When RDP misbehaves, qwinsta and rwinsta are available for remote management of sessions. Scott Forsyth has a nice write-up on how to use these tools: Managing Terminal Services Sessions Remotely.
When I connect to a Windows XP machine using RDP, the system replaces the "Turn Off Computer" button in the start menu with "Disconnect". If I want to remotely power down the machine or reboot, I turn to the command line utility TSSHUTDN.
To connect to a Windows machine from a *nix machine I've used rdesktop successfully.
When paranoid, I change the default listening port for RDP on some of my machines.
ALT + PAGE UP replaces ALT+TAB to "tab" through running applications in the RDP window.
CTRL + ALT + + (numeric keypad plus) takes a screen print of the remote desktop (just like using PrintScrn on a local computer).
CTRL + ALT + - (numeric keypad minus) takes a screen print of the active window inside the RDP window (just like using ALT+PrintScrn on the desktop).
You may also turn off or reboot a remote XP machine by right-clicking on the taskbar and launching Task Manager, then using TaskMan's Shut Down menu.
Very nice! I didn't know any of these shortcut keys.
However, I use task manager to shut down remote machines-- you'll notice it has the shutdown option in a RDP session.
With rdesktop there is a configuration tool called 'grdesktop'.. it looks like the configuration window in Windows.
CTRL + ALT + END will show your task manager.
CTL + ALT + END to bring up the windows security screen, get to the task manager or change your password.
You don't need a command line utility to shut down Windows XP.
You can actually shutdown the computer from using the Windows Security button it puts on the Start menu.
Thanks for the tips, guys. Obviously, I've been doing some things the hard way.
_cyclops_: thanks for finding that broken link. Late night posts always kill me.
I like to use Ctrl+Alt+Pause to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode. That way I don't have to remember additional shortcut's for things like bring up the windows menu your capturing a screen since the fullscren mode captures those.
I use Alt+Home then R quite a bit to pop up the Run dialog.
The common shortcut keys are always a few mouse clicks away. Good to keep in mind when you don't have them all memorized.
Just change to windowed mode, click on the system menu (top left), The bottom option is "Help" - Select "Remote Desktop Connection Help".
Expand "Concepts" and click on "Using Terminal Services shortcut keys".
If you download the server 2003 admin pack (free), you can create an MMC snapin for remote desktops. In a multi server environment it is invaluable. Basically looks like windows explorer, your list or remote desktops on the left, and you can just toggle between them.
Also it is configurable per connection whether you want to use a console connection or not.
Drop to a command prompt (Start-Run- type "cmd" and hit enter) then type "shutdown -r -f.
-f forces the issue. Otherwise the RDC client locks the workstation.
There are some other options too. Type "shutdown /?" to see them all.
I posted about this command a while back when I found out I didn't know how to send a ctrl-alt-del from the OS X RDC client. I believe it still works.
While using RD, sometimes, there is an interval between the instance I type and the letters appearing on the remote screen..about 2 - 3 seconds..sometimes even more as if the remote machine has hung.
My remote machine has 1GB ram and it is 2+ Ghz P4, my machine at home is 512mb,P4 and I am on broadband through a wireless router - so I am not sure why this happens, my co-workers are not having this issue.
Any idea why this happens? is it my machine at home? or could it be that my internet gets disconnected at regular intervals?
Mike - most often, it's the round-trip latency.
If possible, try using PING at the same time to work out where the problem might be, or get a Netmon/Ethereal capture and look for any delays relating to RDP - TCP port 3389.
I'm something of a Wireless Luddite, so I think it's most likely someone's using your home microwave at the time you have the problem - eliminate that first. If you can't live without a microwave, try cabling the PC to the broadband connection temporarily, see if it gets any better.
I've seen RDP get into a state where it wouldn't update unless something else changed (eg, type a word and nothing, but click elsewhere and whop! the word appeared) - one such cause was fixed in XPSP2.
Is there anybody who knows how to let remote desktop in xp listen only on specific ip address? In server2003 you can do it via tscc.msc, but there is none in xp.
I need to reboot my remote desktop machine from the command line on my own machine. How do I do that?
All of these alternate shutdown methods are handy, but might be hard to remember when it comes time to use them.
Did you also know you can get the shutdown/restart options by simply deselecting all windows (click a blank space on the taskbar or desktop) and pressing Alt-F4?
I want to remote desktop someones compter at skool so how do i do this whithout them knowing????plz help would be fun!
I was using RDP from a XP Pro to my work XP Pro computer. Explorer appended with a request to send the information to Microsoft which I declined. The work XP Pro computer killed explorer, the start bar, all icons; basically got the classic blue screen. Is there a way to get to command line or anything to force a reboot?
If the only port on the work machine you can get to is the RDP port, then I don't think there is anything you can do remotely. You can try the ts shut down utility described here to try and reach the machine to force a reboot.
We have noted that RDP performs slower than expected when we are view a 400K PDF - It's more of the scrolling (page down) that is the problem. It's over a slow link and it appears that the network trace is showing that the client side session is looking for a ACK after every 4 packets - it seems that the third packet has the "pish bit" enabled. This is causing a 100ms - 200ms delay after each packet exchange. Some thoughts are - (1) can this be tweaked, can RDP use UDP instead of TCP. Has anyone else had simular issues?
Thanks for all the tips these are great.
1) is it possible to make the remote desktop session viewable to the user of the host computer like laplink. Ie when one of my employees connects to my computer can I keep an eye on the session?
2) If it is not possible to make a viewable session is there any way that the person that connects to my computer can disconnect so that I know that they are off my computer currently Windows says that it is locked and that the other person is using my computer even though they are off.
When using the Remote Desktops MMC snap-in does anyone know the keyboard shortcuts to switch between consoles or between the active console and the Console Root tree view?
Hmmmm, i seem to hav locked miself out of mi RDP and forgot mi pass :/ any1 know how to retrieve if it possible?!
i'm using rdt to manage several remote systems, always in full screen mode.
does anybody know an easy way (e.g. keyboard shortcut) to switch between the different sessions quickly?
I have a situation where a number of XP clients RDP into a Server running 2008. One client is experiencing keyboard issues, where keystrokes intermittently switch to another mapping, for example the main keyboard character '1' displays the caret '^' on the terminal. Any troubleshooting hints?
plz send me networking base tips.

#887: Warning over so-called EMR protective devices
From George Carlo
Aggravated Symptom Relapses Reported after Use of
Widely-Available EMR Protection Products
Contact: Dr. George Carlo (drcarlo@safewireless.org); (202) 756-7744
Reasons for this Advisory:
Ӣ	An alarmingly high number of patients with electro-hypersensitivity and other related conditions are reporting serious symptom relapses after periods of time when symptoms were apparently mitigated by use of products that claim to be protective against electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) related disease.
"¢	The symptom relapses are reportedly more severe than the symptoms that defined the original illnesses "" suggesting that the patients are sicker after the use of the purported protective products than before the use.
"¢	We fear that consumers are being lured into a false sense of security by their use of widely-available products purporting to prevent disease "" causing consumers to unknowingly compound the effects dangerous exposures by increasing their use of wireless devices.
Ӣ	In the United States as well as globally, no steps have been taken by either the Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory authority to protect patients and consumers from this apparent danger.
Ӣ	Thus, out intent is to empower consumers to protect themselves in this regard.
Scientific Underpinning:
1101 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW – 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20004
202-756-7744 www.sppionline.org
Ӣ	Several patients with electro-hypersensitivity and other conditions associated in the scientific literature with EMR exposure are reporting symptom relapses that are believed to be more severe than the symptoms that led to their original diagnosis.
Ӣ	These patients, , being treated by clinicians in our contact network, also report having used products widely available on the open market that claim to mitigate, neutralize, counteract, eliminate, or otherwise protect against harmful effects of EMR, without the benefit of careful clinical supervision.
Ӣ	The average time of using these products before the symptom relapses occured is reported in the range of nine to 18 months.
Ӣ	There is biological plausibility supporting these reports of adverse reactions.
o	The mechanisms of harm now believed to be associated with EMR disease underscore the need to comprehensively and simultaneously address mitigation of exposure, amelioration of symptoms and repair of biological damage done by prolonged exposure to EMR
o	When symptoms are not addressed comprehensively "" for example, using symptom amelioration without simultaneous elimination of exposure "" cell membrane adverse reaction and damage continue to occur while the patient is assuming the cause of the problem has been eliminated. This lulls patients into a false sense of security, causing them to aggravate their exposures through increased use of their wireless devices. When the damage reaches a critically harmful level, even the symptom amelioration can no longer be sustained by the damaged cells.
o	Pregnant women are a special concern in view of recent data showing damage to the fetus in the form of both altered secondary sex ratio and latent appearance of adolescent behavioral problems. Low levels of EMR exposure have been reported in these studies "" suggesting impacts of even subtle amounts of extraneous energy on fetal development. This suggests that products that produce subtle energy as intervention would be biologically active as well, and especially dangerous to the developing fetus.
What Can Patients and Consumers Do to Protect Themselves?
1.	Be Empowered by the Knowledge That Product Testing Standards Exist For Your Benefit and Demand That Protection from Those Selling You Products.
o	Whether or not a product is regulated by a government agency, any company selling a product has a legal responsibility to warm consumers of potential dangers. Obtaining the necessary knowledge requires specifically focused scientific study addressing both the safety parameters of the product and the usefulness (efficacy) of its action in preventing or treating disease. This is a product liability requirement for all companies engaged in the sale of products that have biological, chemical or physical activity.
o	Note that if a product does not have biological, chemical or physical activity, it by definition can not have a beneficial effect in mitigating disease "" because mitigation requires biological, chemical or physical action. Thus, any product that claims to mitigate disease or symptoms is required by law to have supportive science.
o	There are international standards of care that define acceptable parameters for safety and efficacy studies. These guidelines can be obtained from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other similar agencies around the world.
o	The most relevant requirements of the FDA and similar agencies around the world with regard to product testing standards intended to protect consumers and standards to which consumers are legally entitled, include the following:
Ӣ	The FDA and similar agencies make decisions about approving products through review of scientific data, submitted by product companies, that attest to company claims of both the safety of the product (whether or not it produces adverse reactions such as those reported here), and the efficacy (usefulness) in preventing or treating symptoms and disease.
Ӣ	Safety Studies: Whenever a company makes a claim of efficacy, there is a presumption the product has biological, chemical or physical activity. As such, there is a presumption of potential harm or danger coming from the product if it is misused. The company must therefore address, through science, problems that could occur: if the product is administered in doses that are too high; if administered in an inappropriate manner; or if administered along with other interventions or drugs that may cause an adverse reaction because of combination effects.
"¢	Efficacy Studies: Specific applications of the product need to be addressed in the pre-market research. Only those uses supported by science can be legally promoted by the company. Other uses "" called off label uses "" carry stiff monetary and criminal penalties.
Ӣ	To ensure the integrity and honesty of the company-submitted science, the FDA requires that all studies follow internationally accepted standards of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and Good Clinical Practices (GCP). Studies that do not meet these requirements are not considered by the FDA in decision making because those studies are presumed to be suspect or flawed.
"¢	Even with these pre-market testing requirements in place, problems can be missed and mistakes can be made. Thus, the FDA also requires post-market surveillance where adverse reactions to products that have been previously approved are catalogued and reported "" first to the FDA and then to the public.
2.	Demand to See Proof of Safety and Efficacy Before Buying or Using Any Product that Claims Protection.
o	Consumers have a right to the highest standard of care from those who claim to have either preventive or therapeutic interventions for EMR hazards, irrespective of whether or not the FDA or another agency requires that specific studies be done prior to marketing and sale. An honest company acting in integrity will do the work required to protect those who use their products "" and then be proud to let consumers know the results of their work. Product inserts and package labeling should contain enough information to insure that consumer rights are not being violated.
o	Before buying or using any EMR intervention product, consumers should:
Ӣ	Require proof in product inserts or on packaging that studies of safety have been completed according to acceptable scientific protocols, including independent peer review as evidenced by either publication in peer reviewed journals or by disclosure of the names of the independent peer reviewers.
"¢	Require proof in product inserts or on packaging that those studies of safety address: dosing specific to the manner in which the intervention is used; contraindications "" especially with regard to young children and pregnant women; specific administration protocols for both symptomatic and non-symptomatic potential users; and proof that the studies have been corroborated by different laboratories or investigators.
"¢	Require proof in product inserts or on packaging that studies of efficacy have been completed according to acceptable scientific clinical protocols "" also including evidence of independent peer review and corroboration of findings. The studies should include clear written documentation of the mechanisms through which the products are supposed to work in preventing or treating conditions.
Ӣ	Require proof in product inserts or on packaging that a program of post-market monitoring of adverse reactions exists as well as procedures to notify and warn consumers of problems when necessary.
3.	If You are Symptomatic, Do Not Self Medicate or Take Advice on Your Condition from People Selling Products Who Are Not Clinically Qualified or Otherwise Professionally Knowledgeable of EMR Health Effects and Mitigation.
o	Any person with symptoms of electro-hypersensitivity, including multiple chemical sensitivities, Autism, ADHD, anxiety syndrome, Parkinson's, alcoholism, drug addiction and Alzheimer's should only use EMR intervention products with appropriate guidance from a qualified clinician.
o	The underlying pathologies in these conditions are similar and thus require careful monitoring whenever EMR targeted interventions are added. If this is not done, severe adverse reactions can occur "" sometimes as part of the normal healing process, and sometimes not. Only qualified professionals can identify which is which.

New iPhone Expected To Sell More Than 263 Million Units [Report]
By Killian Bell • 8:02 am, August 7, 2012
Apple's next iPhone will be huge.
Apple's iPhone is so successful that the company's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, recently revealed that "each new generation sold approximately equal to all previous generations combined." That's pretty staggering when you think about it, and according to analyst firm Asymco, it could mean that Apple's new iPhone will sell more than 263 million units.
Asymco came to this conclusion by calculating the sales totals of all five iPhones Apple has already released. But how accurate is Schiller's claim?
Well, according to Asymco, the iPhone 3G sold nearly four times the amount of the original iPhone, while the iPhone 3GS sold 1.6 times more units than the iPhone 3G. Then the iPhone 4 came along and sold more units than the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G, and the iPhone 3GS put together. Asymco notes that iPhone 4 sales are still rising, too.
The iPhone 4S, being an "incremental" upgrade, is only halfway towards selling matching the cumulative total sales of its four predecessors. And with a new iPhone right around the corner, there's a chance it might now make it. Asymco expects, however, that the iPhone 4S will get two thirds of the way by September, reaching its target of 162 million units.
But the new iPhone will blow every other iPhone out of the water. It's expected to be a major upgrade, bring a bigger display, a new dock connector, a new form factor, and more. And according to Schiller's numbers, it'll sell more than 263 million units.
Asymco isn't so sure the device will be quite that big, however. In the last half of 2012, Asymco predicts Apple will sell 165 million iPhone, 102 million of which will be the new iPhone. Its report reads:
Taking that forecast forward and assuming a 60 percent growth rate, I currently have abut 200 million iPhones over the next twelve months. If 85 percent of those are the next generation, that yields about 170 million iPhone 5s through mid 2013.
The firm believes that if the new iPhone continues to sell after a seventh-generation handset is released — like previous models have — then it could hit the 200 million mark.
There is also the question of whether the 'mix' will begin to favor the older generations more," the report continues. "If that's the case, we might see version '5' meet its target.

Open-label, randomised, parallel-group, multicentre study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of an AS03(B)/oil-in-water emulsion-adjuvanted (AS03(B)) split-virion versus non-adjuvanted whole-virion H1N1 influenza vaccine in UK children 6 months to 12 years of age.
Waddington C., Andrews N., Hoschler K., Walker W., Oeser C., Reiner A., John T., Wilkins S., Casey M., Eccleston P., Allen R., Okike I., Ladhani S., Sheasby E., Waight P., Collinson A., Heath P., Finn A., Faust S., Snape M., Miller E., Pollard A.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of an AS03(B)/oil-in-water emulsion-adjuvanted (AS03(B)) split-virion versus non-adjuvanted whole-virion H1N1 influenza vaccine in UK children aged 6 months to 12 years. DESIGN: Multicentre, randomised, head-to-head, open-label trial. SETTING: Five UK sites (Oxford, Bristol, Southampton, Exeter and London). PARTICIPANTS: Children aged 6 months to < 13 years, for whom a parent or guardian had provided written informed consent and who were able to comply with study procedures, were eligible for inclusion. INTERVENTIONS: A tocopherol/oil-in-water emulsion-adjuvanted (AS03(B)) egg culture-derived split-virion H1N1 vaccine and a non-adjuvanted cell culture-derived whole-virion vaccine, given as a two-dose schedule, 21 days apart, were compared. Participants were grouped into those aged 6 months to < 3 years (younger group) and 3 years to < 13 years of age (older group) and were randomised by study investigators (1 : 1 ratio) to receive one of the two vaccines. Vaccines were administered by intramuscular injection (deltoid or anterior-lateral thigh, depending on age and muscle bulk). Local reactions and systemic symptoms were collected for 1 week post immunisation, and serum was collected at baseline and after the second dose. To assess safety and tolerability, parents or guardians recorded the following information in diary cards from days 0-7 post vaccination: axillary temperature, injection site reactions, solicited and unsolicited systemic symptoms, and medications. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Comparison between vaccines of the percentage of participants demonstrating seroconversion by microneutralisation assay. RESULTS: Among 937 children receiving vaccine, per-protocol seroconversion rates were higher after the AS03(B)-adjuvanted vaccine than after the whole-virion vaccine (98.2% vs 80.1% in children < 3 years, 99.1% vs 95.9% among those aged 3-12 years), as were severe local reactions (3.6% vs 0.0% in those under 5 years, 7.8% vs 1.1% in those aged 5-12 years), irritability in children < 5 years (46.7% vs 32.0%), and muscle pain in older children (28.9% vs 13.2%). The second dose of the adjuvanted vaccine was more reactogenic than the first, especially for fever > 38.0°C in those under 5 years of age (8.9% vs 22.4%). CONCLUSION: The adjuvanted vaccine, although reactogenic, was more immunogenic, especially in younger children, indicating the potential for improved immunogenicity of influenza vaccines in this age group. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN89141709.

Q: EMV Secure Messaging I am working on a project which requires Secure Messaging of an EMV card to protect data sent to/received from EMV cards.
According to the EMV Book 3, section 6.3.2:

For my understanding, we can use 'Secure Messaging' on every command/response pair.
For example, we can use CLA='8C', INS='CA' for Secure Messaging Format 1, and CLA='84', INS='CA' for Secure Messaging Format 2
However, when I tried on two of my cards I got error 6E 00 -- Class not supported.
What's wrong with my understanding about the 'Secure Messaging'?

A: None of the current EMV protocols seem to support secure messaging. Consequently, your card/EMV applet won't support secure messaging either.
Also, I'm not quite sure what exactly you would want to use secure messaging for ... Excahnged information is already authenticated (under the assumption that you perform a transaction and that you do CDA/SDA/DDA). So you probably aim for encrypting the information exchanged between the terminal and the card (specifically things like the amount charged, static card data, etc.) However, I doubt that this would make much sense based on the design of the current EMV infrastructure:
Terminals are currently not assumed to be trusted (at least with regard to the EMV protocol exchange between the terminal and the card). Consequently, you won't be able to implement any form of mutual authentication between the terminal and the card. Only the terminal could authenticate the card, the card could authenticate information received from the issuer (e.g. issuer scripts), but the card could never authenticate the terminal. As a result, impersonation of the terminal side would be possible despite encryption. Hence, an attacker in the middle would still be able to read and decrypt messages.

From a comment by Michal Gluchowski:

Maybe to extend what Michael has said, where next generation EMV is planning to go is to introduce channel confidentiality to eliminate passive eavesdropping. It will, however be possible to impersonate terminals (only card certificates will be authenticated). Current EMV uses secure messaging only for issuer scripts as it requires symmetric secret key that is known to issuer only. From the transaction perspective all the data terminal exchanges are plaintext (and issuer scripts are simply passed through without terminal analyzing or modifying them).
