Q: Why does DHCP uses UDP port 67 and 68 for the communication between the client and server? I know that the DHCP is used to assign an IP address to the client and hence the only possible way to establish the connection is to listen on a specific port. But is there any specific reason behind choosing 67 and 68?

A: The answer is weirder than you think.
Have you ever wondered about the port numbers for early standard TCP services? 21 for FTP, 23 for TELNET, 25 for SMTP?  Why are they all odd?  How could ssh get 22 decades after telnet using 23?
Apparently the earliest iterations (before the seventies) of the TCP protocol was half-duplex, so bidirectional traffic needed two port numbers.  Odd port numbers were reserved for the server side, even numbers were reserved for the client side.
BOOTP (the ancestor of DHCP) was conceived in the same era, and used the same concept: odd number for the serverside listening, even number for the clientside listening.
So how did SSH get 22?  After decades of the de-facto standard of using odd numbers for server-side TCP services, it was still unusual to get an even numbered port for a service.  However, by 1995, when ssh was first introduced, there was no longer any technical reason to not assign an even number, and noone was even afraid to anymore.

A: DHCP is based on BOOTP which was created in 1985.
BOOTP uses TFTP as the file transfer protocol.
TFTP was created in 1981 and uses port 69, so it was a thing of using the nearest non-used ports (68 and 67).

A: DHCP is based on the earlier BOOTP protocol which uses well known port numbers for both server and client instead of an ephemeral port. The server and the client communicate via broadcast and the server broadcasts the offered IP address to the client on UDP port 68. The use of a well known port on the client's side is introduced to tackle the problem associated with this broadcast, which we will describe below.
Let's assume that host A is using the BOOTP client on ephemeral port 1883, and host B (which is on the same network) is using MQTT client on the same port. Now when the BOOTP server sends a broadcast reply message with the broadcast IP address 255.255.255.255 and destination port no. 1883, then host A will accept the correct message on its DHCP client on the application layer. But, the MQTT client which is running on the application layer of host B will get an incorrect message. The use of an well known port (in our case 68) prevents the use of the same two destination port numbers and hence it prohibits other protocols from using the same port which is already in use by another protocol. In simple words, it prevents an application from getting a message from a completely different protocol.
For more details I would recommend you to go through the RFC 2131.

Rich Licato, CISO at technology solutions company Airlines Reporting Corporation, has brought the company's IT-related governance, risk and compliance efforts to new levels over the past several years.
He implemented software to manage the GRC discipline, opting for the full suite of functions offered by software vendor Modulo to replace spreadsheets. And he created a risk analyst position dedicated to the GRC program.
Such investments are critical to keep pace with digital business, expanded compliance regulations and increased risk, Licato said.
"Everything you do around GRC is about visibility. It gives you visibility into your operations and risk and allows you to identify issues quicker and react faster," he said.
Organizations of all kinds have gotten the message that IT security is a priority. As a result, companies, nonprofits and government entities have been beefing up their defenses against cyberattacks and data breaches.
But that's only part of what's needed. Organizational leaders need to manage their efforts under the umbrella of an IT governance, risk and compliance process. Just as the GRC process works in other organizational areas like finance and legal, IT GRC pulls together the critical elements essential to understanding an organization's technology-related risks, the tolerance for those risks and how they are managed.
"This function is meant to be more strategic and forward-looking to help manage the IT risk within a company," said John Wheeler, research director at Gartner.
A well-formed discipline focuses in on three dimensions of risk management: the framework, metrics and the technology to enable a strong IT GRC program.
Financial services firms generally have the most established GRC functions, with the maturity driven by the large number of regulations in that industry, according to Wheeler and other consultants.
Companies in other industries are at varying levels of GRC program maturity, with many still operating in a siloed fashion. Experts say many companies still focus on complying with data security regulations or minimizing security vulnerabilities, but don't have an overarching understanding of how the pieces fit together for their organization's risk tolerance.
"A well-formed discipline focuses in on three dimensions of risk management: the framework, metrics and the technology to enable a strong IT GRC program," Wheeler said. "You have to make an investment in all three dimensions and it has to be an ongoing investment."
Organizations getting value from their GRC program have invested in several key elements, said Kennet Westby, president and co-founder of the cybersecurity advisory and assessment services firm Coalfire.
"It's having a process in place and developing a roadmap, and being able to validate that they're compliant with laws and their own policies," Westby said. It's the same approach boards and executives take to manage other areas of risk, he added.
Leading organizations all have GRC on the board's radar, and have assigned GRC reporting and ownership duties, he said. These organizations also understand their whole risk profile by having assessed their risks, the impacts of those risks, and their ability to manage those risks. They understand the correlation between those risks and their tolerance of them, and use that understanding to shape cybersecurity investments and priorities.
Kelly Bissell, global managing director at Accenture Security, said organizations must invest the time required to establish and maintain a GRC framework. They must also invest dollars for the applications specifically designed to support a robust GRC process by bringing the various elements together in one view to allow all stakeholders to see it in one software solution.
As companies mature this function, they also should be investing in processes that roll all their risk management functions together under the umbrella of enterprise governance, risk and compliance function, Bissell said.
The GRC program will increasingly prove its worth as companies embark on digital transformation initiatives because it allows businesses to see risks as they arise, Bissell said. Consider, for instance, a department that launches a mobile app for customers that may expand existing risks or even introduce new risks to the organization. A robust risk management process allows executives to react quickly to those risks, and accurately determine what steps are needed to mitigate them.
"If they have a good GRC function, they can more easily adapt to change," Bissell said.
Risk management software varies in cost, based on the size and complexity of the organization and its risk profile. Implementations for large, complex organizations cost in the millions but run most organizations between $100,000 and $250,000 in upfront costs, Wheeler said. Cloud options generally cost $50,000 to $100,000 for an annual subscription, he added.
But investments are hardly one and done, experts said. And beyond maintaining the software, companies also need to consider staffing as their GRC process evolves, Licato said.
"[Companies] initially think this work can be absorbed into the organization without any dedicated resources, but the process requires care and feeding, and a staff position ensures that the care and feeding of the process happens," he said.
Organizations also need to review and adjust their investments, including staff resources, as their business evolves and as new reporting and compliance requirements come into effect, Licato added.
"All those pieces drive how much I should be dedicating to this," he said. "That does end up driving my budget response. I can't just do it casually. I can't just try to absorb it. I have to dedicate my resources to it, whether it's more time or dollars for software."
What kind of GRC process investments has your company made recently?
From a side advertisement one could infer that GRC means Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance ... but not from the entire article. Like many other information share venues, maybe have a hyperlink or floating balloon to at least spell out acronyms, short definition for terms.

Formula One, NASCAR and NHRA Get the Green Flag to Join the Crowdfunding Race and Fund All Types of Racing-Related and Team Projects
First Gear Project's new auto racing crowdfunding site has built a community that encourages new innovations and fosters projects that can now be supported directly by the public, friends, family, and sponsors
Portland, Oregon – In motorsports, funding is often the critical bridge between opportunity and execution. First Gear Project, a crowdfunding platform dedicated to the automotive & motorsports industries, will help build that bridge by establishing a platform to connect opportunity and funding.
First Gear Project Crowdfunding Sites for NASCAR, Formula One, NHRA and Other MotorSports Racing Projects
The motor sports crowdfunding site, which recently expanded from a successful beta phase to being open to the public, has been built to facilitate programs across the spectrum of the industry, from karting to drag racing, from the development of new aftermarket products to the creation of inspiring documentaries. First Gear Project will build a community, encourage new innovations and foster projects as the open marketplace of motorsports ideas meets with the support of the public, friends, family, and sponsors to turn dreams into realties.
With a financial base built on upon the 20 year success of Vital Enterprises, an Oregon technology firm with revenues approaching $40 million, First Gear Project has been spearheaded by racing driver Guy Cosmo and his wife Louisa.
"The opportunity to partner Vital Enterprises' vast array of engineering capabilities with Guy Cosmo's racing and Motorsport industry experience was a great opportunity," said Ryan Hoppes, President, Vital Enterprises. "Being able to bring a new method of financing to influence further creativity, ability to self advocate, as well as provide personal connections between fan and driver within the Motorsport's realm will be exciting to witness. We are thrilled to be a part of this shift."
First Gear Project will give participants the opportunity to influence the future by making tangible contributions to a favorite driver or team, or convert a compelling new concept into a publicly available product with a built-in brand awareness and support system.
"This is a project of a lifetime for me, because being in the sport for so many years I've seen first hand how critical funding is," said Cosmo. "We have designed First Gear Project to not only be an opportunity for someone to transform their vision into a marketable reality but it is also a chance for backers to witness the impact of their support. It's a place for our whole community to actually participate by building programs or supporting them. We are trying to change the industry, and we and our investors believe that this is the best way to do exactly that."

In addition, Front Page PR offers crowdfunding training classes and consulting services to educate crowdfunding campaign managers on how to shoot more convincing pitch videos, how to use proven words/phrases to make crowdfunding profiles more persuasive and how to offer more attractive perks/rewards with better calls-to-action to improve conversion rates. The firm's principles are based on time tested and proven old-school rules on how to plan successful marketing campaigns.

Marketing consultants can teach crowdfunding campaign managers how to implement more effective marketing programs to give these underperforming sites a much better chance for success.
"Our firm offers crowdfunding campaign managers a menu of à la carte services, pre-packaged deals and/or post-paid commission options," said Robert Hoskins, Front Page PR's Director of Crowdfunding Campaigns. "One of our most popular options is a $2,500 down payment, plus a 5% post-paid commission based on the total funds raised."
Campaign managers benefit from the post-paid 5% option because it provides them a way to run a decent marketing campaign and gives them a much a better chance for success than running no marketing programs at all. Platforms benefit because running twenty marketing campaigns simultaneously can generate an extra $50,000 per month to market the crowdfunding site, which brings in new clients, shoppers and investors. It's a true win-win situation for everyone.

New York Fashion Designers Skip "Crowdfunding" and Take a Walk Down the "Crowd Commerce" Runway
Global "Crowd Commerce" Concept Bypasses Crowdfunding and Goes Straight to Crowd Sales Targeting Consumers and Designers to Determine What Products Are Produced – Cynthia Rowley, Whit, and Meskita Currently Signed On
New York, NY – In a creative twist on e-commerce, crowdfunding, and social media, Crowdemand is a new fashion technology platform that connects consumers directly to the designers they love on their desktop, tablet, and mobile device. However unlike traditional crowdfunding sites, there are no crowdfunding profiles, no pitch videos, only the the opportunity to make a crowd purchase.
Global "Crowd Commerce" Concept Bypasses Crowdfunding and Goes Straight to Crowd Sales Targeting Consumers And Designers
On Crowdemand established contemporary designers present pieces via the a new version of "crowd commerce" website, with consumers ultimately deciding which designs go into production. Crowdemand will feature select brands such as Cynthia Rowley for their launch, with the New York City based label Whit, and Brazilian designer Meskita to follow.
Designers showcase exclusive products on Crowdemand with price-points between $250 – $2,000. Each piece will fit into three categories: "Celebrity Spotting," where designers will recreate an item worn by a celebrity, "Backed by Popular Demand," where designers create popular pieces from past seasons, and "New Demands," which are new exclusives for the coming seasons. This business model is the only one of it's kind–currently designers, fashion e-commerce sites, and brick and mortar stores can only offer a selection of merchandise that has already been produced, and when the inventory runs out you're out of luck.
Each designer individually determines the minimum number of orders required for a design to go into production, and to maintain exclusivity, Crowdemand sets a maximum number of orders that can be placed. Crowdemand will also take photos and edit the images of each design, at no cost to the designer.
Next the users, or "crowders" can pre-purchase the designs during a determined two-week campaign period, spreading the word via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and other social media platforms, knowing that with the power of the crowd the design will get made. During the campaign process each design has a progress circle letting crowders and designers know how close they are to reaching their production goal.
Once enough crowders have pre-purchased the design, Crowdemand places an order with the designer, and products are shipped domestically and internationally within eight to sixteen weeks right to each crowder's door. All items in original condition can be returned within 30 days, and as a bonus, for the next two weeks users who sign up and share Crowdemand with their friends will be rewarded with a $25 credit for every friend that signs up.
"This retail model is the future; it bridges the gap between consumer and designer, bringing unparalleled benefits to both parties which are unavailable within traditional retail models," explains Liat Cohen, VP of Business Development at Crowdemand.
Both participating and future designers are excited to become a part of this unique platform because it solves a myriad of the industry's inventory and production cost issues. Fashion houses place orders based on projections, but Crowdemand offers designers the chance to assess demand and capture pre-orders before any pieces go into production, as well as the real-time insight of what their customers, not department store buyers, are interested in wearing.
Consumers are generally sold to, not listened to, and by engaging with Crowdemand they are heard loud and clear.
By leveraging their social networks and enlisting their followers to help get designs made, they are becoming an integral part of the production process. The ground-breaking sales method of Crowdemand allows designers and customers to do what they do best: designers can create without the stress of production projections, while customers join in the process of creating an exclusive product in their size without ever having to search through racks for the right item. The future of retail lies in this model of "crowd commerce," and Crowdemand is the first fashion e-commerce site to offer it.

Velocity Kick Rolls Out Powerful New Marketing, Social Media Tool for Crowdfunding Platforms
Entrepreneurs, startups, academics and non-profits can use this social media scoring tool/CRM software tools to streamline crowdfunding campaign outreach and improve efforts to collect the first 30% of fundraising
Velocity Kick is cool a new marketing service that every crowdfunding platform should take a look at. To date, the team has assimilated a lot of cool marketing tools and has built a pretty advanced back-end. They are now running their final fundraising campaign on the new Ramen crowdfunding platform to fund the development of its GUI front-end interface. The campaign profile has $75 perks for individual campaign managers as well as $2,000 perks for crowdfunding platforms that will deliver 12-months of service. But you better hurry, their perks are almost all gone!
Velocity Kick's tools significantly reduce the time spent organizing contacts and prioritizing messaging, making it easy to undertake crowdfunding efforts.
Velocity Kick is one of the first purpose-built integrated marketing solution for crowdfunding aimed at improving campaign results. With Velocity Kick, duplicated outreach is reduced and contact lists are sorted into groups, making unique, almost personalized message-targeting easy. Velocity Kick's first generation web app/service aggregates contacts from the address books and social networks of team members working on the same project and quickly merges and organizes them for use in campaigns. Velocity Kick is currently running a $15,000 campaign of its own on the LAUNCH Hackathon winning platform, Ramen.
Now only 15 days in, Velocity Kick has raised $10,837 or 72% of its $15,000 goal, placing it comparatively in the Top 10% of projects successfully raised at Kickstarter, the largest crowdfunding platform in the industry.
Since announcing its own campaign, the company has attracted partners with non-profit organizations, venture capitalists and creatives currently managing campaigns.
"We're already seeing money stream in from entrepreneurs who have run successful campaigns and their comments are all the same," said Josh Baylin, the founder of Velocity Kick. "They all wish they had these tools helping them reduce preparation time significantly."
Upon completion of its own campaign, Velocity Kick's planning tools and data-driven strategic outreach assistance will be only a few clicks away for campaign managers across the globe and across multiple platforms. Initially, Velocity Kick will be supporting campaign managers with targeted lists and data-driven campaign strategy insights.
"Our platform is going to be focused on improving the planning and campaign life-cycle of potential backers, news media and key influencers," said Baylin. "Already, we've got relationships in place with accelerators, crowdfunding platforms and campaign managers alike."
Right now Velocity Kick is focused on "rewards" campaigns, or those hosted by platforms like Kickstarter, Indiegogo or others. Ultimately, Velocity Kick believes campaign managers who are passionate about their projects and the vision should be focused on connecting with their core audiences. And so it's tool set is designed at improving how quickly campaign managers can find and reach that audience.
"Velocity Kick is crowdfunding made simple," said Andy Abramson, CEO of Comunicano, the Del Mar, CA based value-creation communications agency. "Being able to automate and properly manage the communications efforts more quickly, means funding gets done faster, leaving more time for developers and entrepreneurs to make a great product."
Velocity Kick will make its money charging users a fee for more advanced list building and reporting tools.

CrowdIt Unveils Crowdfunding Platform to Finance America's Dreams
CrowdIt, the crowdfunding site that helps American's finance the "American Dream," announced early crowdfunding projects submitted to its site are now available for public preview through its new "Project Carousel" at www.crowdit.com. CrowdIt will continue to populate the carousel with additional projects leading up to the official launch of funding activity on June 4.
CrowdIt acts as a "virtual incubator" and represents a new approach to crowdfunding by including peer-review feedback, mentoring and business networking as part of its offering. As part of its launch, CrowdIt will contribute $10,000 to the project that reaches the highest amount of funding by Aug. 18, 2013.
"CrowdIt has garnered the attention of entrepreneurs and startup communities that are looking for more than just funding support, and it shows in the type of projects being loaded into the site for launch on June 4," said Jason Graf, co-founder and CEO of CrowdIt. "Every day we see more exciting projects come in and we can't wait for the projects to go live so dreamers can move to the next step in their journey to success."
Examples of projects being submitted to CrowdIt include:

Imagine IPD – this clean energy startup has a mission to implement its technology to introduce a new and innovative clean energy alternative to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels and reduce carbon footprints.
Chic Furniture on a Budget – this Tampa Fla. startup helps those on a tight budget find, restore and furnish their home or apartment through well-proven techniques.
Simply Sinful Lingerie Parties – After more than 20 years in retail and direct sales, this Dreamer wants to incorporate a love for sales and creativity to offer unique and fun products to the world.
CrowdIt's vision is that crowdfunding needs to extend beyond the funding event – exemplified in its tagline, "Don't Just Dream It: CrowdIt!" Its website is architected to offer a new crowdfunding experience and to optimize the crowd in all facets of the site – from project evaluation and acceptance to peer review and networking.
The CrowdIt site includes:
Flexible Funding – CrowdIt offers Dreamers the flexibility to fund either "all" or "partial" projects based upon the unique needs of the campaign.
Networking – CrowdIt incorporates social networking into its site to encourage mentoring and business-to-business networking.
Peer Review – CrowdIt believes in the "power of the crowd" to provide feedback for project proposals, ideas and strategies presented by Dreamers.
Interactivity – CrowdIt is a highly social, interactive and collaborative community site that provides an engaging experience for all who visit and participate in it.
Crowd Power – unlike other crowdfunding sites, CrowdIt is designed to empower the community to drive decisions concerning project review and acceptance, feedback and advice, and input for future features to improve the site.
CrowdIt is now accepting crowdfunding projects and projects will go live on the site June 4, 2013. The company is contributing $10,000 to the project that reaches the highest amount of funding by Aug. 18, 2013, 75 days after the go-live date.
Based in America's heartland of Springfield, MO, CrowdIt is the crowdfunding site for believers of the New American Dream.

What's Cooking in Gail's Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: New Potato Salad! If I said it once, I've said it a hundred times: the French have it going on! The more I explore their recipes, the more I feel like a gourmet chef. You can, too. Trust me. When I tell you I'm going to have you make potato salad by skipping the mayo, just pretend you didn't hear me and forge ahead. The results are worth it. Don't make a big deal when you serve it as a side dish. You're husband will do that for you. Husband-tested, rave reviews!
Place quartered potatoes, skin on, in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Add sea salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15-20 minutes. For dressing, combine olive oil, garlic red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Whisk until blended. When potatoes are cooked, drain well. Transfer them to a bowl to cool. Pour the dressing over the potatoes. Add celery and chervil, gently folding to blend flavors. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Wow, this food is great, and I'm falling behind. I just had to jump back to catch Mediterranean Tomatoes. I think it's time to go shopping., and hit my garden.
Simple, healthy, tasty… what more do we need?
Hmm… better without it…. lol!!
I especially enjoyed the sentences, "Don't make a big deal when you serve it as a side dish. You're husband will do that for you." and plan to test it out with my husband who thinks potato salad is synonymous with mayo.
The simplicity of this lets the potatoes shine! The French certainly know it doesn't take a thousand ingredients to make great food.

This question will come before the Higher Education and Professional Practice Committee at its October meeting where it will be voted on and action taken. It will then come before the full Board at its October 2007 meeting for final action.
Petition for: Waiver of New York State requirements pertaining to acceptability of licensing examinations for licensure by endorsement.
Summary Statement: The petitioners listed below are all graduates of professionally accredited architecture programs who have applied for licensure in New York. All have achieved, at a minimum, a Bachelor of Architecture degree. All petitioners have substantial documented licensed experience in other states.
Prior to 1983, certain states did not require the Equivalency Examination (EE) or the Qualifying Test (QT) if a candidate had a degree from an accredited architecture program, and granted licensure upon passage of the Professional Examination (PE). Prior to 1975, most states recognized the Examination Syllabus (ES). The petitioners passed either the national Professional Examination (PE) given prior to 1983, or portions of the national Examination Syllabus (ES) given prior to 1975. Prior to 1983, New York State required passage of the Equivalency Examination (EE), or passage of the Qualifying Test (QT) in addition to passage of the national Professional Examination. Each of the petitioners satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial state of licensure by passing an acceptable licensing examination and attained licensure in that state.
Section 7304(4) of Education Law and Section 69.3 of the Commissioner's Regulations require for endorsement that "… an architect licensed in another state or jurisdiction as the result of successful completion of only the professional examination in use before 1983 may be granted licensure upon presentation of evidence of two years of work experience of a grade and character satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture and passage of a practical examination satisfactory to the State Board for Architecture …"
Each petitioner satisfied the examination requirement in his/her initial state of licensure and has extensive professional practice satisfactory to the State Board. Since the above information illustrates evidence of competence within the profession, and in lieu of the practical examination, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Architecture recommends that the examination requirement be considered satisfied and each applicant's licensure in another state be accepted for endorsement in New York State.
Harry T. Gordon
Pennsylvania, 2/1977; also licensed in Virginia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Florida, District of Colombia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Ohio.
Monte L. Hoover
Indiana, 2/1982; also licensed in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Marc Margulies
Massachusetts, 3/1982; also licensed in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey; and was licensed with good standing in Pennsylvania and Washington.
RECOMMENDATION: The Committee on the Professions, in concurrence with the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Architecture, recommends that each applicant's licensing examination requirement be considered satisfied for licensure through the endorsement route.

Statement of Problem: The applicant listed below has satisfied the education and examination requirements for licensure as a dentist in New York State. The only requirement for full licensure that cannot be satisfied at this time is United States citizenship or immigration status as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States.

However, the School has confirmed that she did complete the advanced respiratory therapy curriculum and was awarded a certificate of completion for that program.
Department staff and the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Respiratory Therapy have reviewed Ms. Dick's total education and recommend that the requirement of an Associate Degree in respiratory therapy be waived for her.

Petition for: Three-year limited license to practice veterinary medicine under Section 6704(6) of the Education Law.
Statement of Problem: The applicants listed below have met the education and examination requirements for licensure as veterinarians in New York State.

Temporary fix for AC 1.9 (sound, tyres v10, flames...) by AC Club.
Koenigsegg is creating six uniquely developed and designed production cars: the One:1 program. This is one of the most exclusive production car programs ever envisaged.
The hp to kg curb weight ratio is an astonishing 1:1. This is the dream equation previously thought impossible. On top of this, the One:1 is the first homologated production car in the world with one Megawatt of power, thereby making it the first series produced Megacar. These are the reasons for naming the car One:1.
Koenigsegg One:1 (Petrol) - identical to the previous version but with a reduced power output of 1160hp.
Koenigsegg One:1 (No Roof) - The petrol version minus its roof! As a result of removing the roof, weight is reduced slightly but drag is increased - ideal for cruising but not for lap times.
Koenigsegg One:1 (Upgraded Turbo) - with upgraded turbochargers from the factory, pushing power upto 1450hp.
Special thanks to: Nick Moxley, misterbeam, burrito, Avoletta and mclarenf1papa for their great help with improving the physics, the_meco for his assistance with the export of the model into AC and Modek for his assistance.
Hypercar Cup (most realistic) - As above, but with slightly increased (+6%) grip. These replicate the track-biased (but road legal) Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres the real One:1 is fitted with as standard.
Cut Slicks (Trofeo) - the same as the LaFerrari and P1's Hypercar Trofeo tyres. These are hand-cut slicks which are not road legal, so don't represent the real life tyre compounds available on these cars - remember that they will set far faster lap times than the real car could ever manage!

Home News Ethereum developers move merge hopes to August
Ethereum developers move merge hopes to August
There is a chance that the much-anticipated Ethereum (ETH) Merge could happen already this August, according to Ethereum core developer Preston Van Loon. He also suggested that effort is being made to complete The Merge before the next difficulty bomb goes off.
Asked a variation of the 'when Merge' question at the Permissionless conference, Van Loon told the panel, which included a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation Justin Drake, that:
"It's just the last few steps we have to take, and as far as we know, if everything goes according to plan, August – it just makes sense."
The Merge is Ethereum's long-awaited upgrade that will see the current Ethereum Mainnet merge with the beacon chain proof-of-stake (PoS) system. Just yesterday, Cryptonews.com reported that the Ropsten public testnet, which allows for blockchain development to be tested before deployment on the mainnet, is estimated to undergo The Merge on June 8. It is the latest in a line of tests done in preparation for the main Ethereum blockchain to switch to the PoS consensus.
According to a tweet by the event co-host, the Bankless podcast, Drake said that the "stars are aligned" for the Merge to happen in August, but also that:
There is a "strong desire to make this happen before difficulty bomb in August."
The difficulty bomb, also known as the Ice Age, is a feature that slows down the blocks, therefore the entire Ethereum network. While the switch to Ethereum 2.0 has been in the works for a long time, the developers came up with this difficulty bomb as a mechanism that artificially and gradually makes generating new blocks more difficult and mining unprofitable.
The Ice Age has already been moved multiple times, and the developers seem to want to avoid having to push it back again.
"If we don't have to move it, let's do it [the Merge] as soon as we can," Van Loon said.
The difficulty bomb is meant to deter the miners from staying on the current proof-of-work (PoW) chain following The Merge, as well as to encourage developers to work on the PoS switch.
Some of the earlier estimates for The Merge were May or June this year. Before the previous postponement of the difficulty bomb, Ethereum developer Tim Beiko said: "We think ~4 months is a generous timeframe from having the code done to seeing the merge on mainnet. We think there's a chance [that the code being done] can [happen] by February (obviously, still a lot of unknowns!), so we decided to set the [difficulty] bomb based on that."
Beiko added at the time that the bomb can be pushed back again if the developers are not ready for The Merge.
Still, the developers previously decided not to push off the June bomb for now. Beiko told Fortune earlier this month that developers could still delay the bomb in some four weeks' time if need be, and that the process isn't difficult – but that, for now, it would "create more work for developers, so given the huge desire from everyone to see the merge happen as soon as possible, if we can save a few weeks by not delaying the bomb, that might be worth it."

This excursion allows you to live an unforgettable experience visiting some of the best place of our land: Sorrento, Pompeii ruins and Positano.
With this shore excursion you will discover the beauties of Sorrento and Positano and know the history of the ancient Pompeii ruins.
Sorrento is a renowned holiday resort and lies in one of the most spectacular point in the gulf of Naples. Because of its mild climate and wonderful position, Sorrento had been a favorite resort since the Roman times. It is bordered by crystal clear waters and surrounded by enchanting gardens and citrus fruit groves, yet much of its beauty is to be found along the roads in the houses with their typical local architecture, and in the monuments which testify to its long history. In Sorrento you will discover a little cultural treasure through the historical remains visible at the famous museum Correale, and the famous Cloister of San Francesco, a quiet place with a little garden near the Villa Comunale from where you can admire the Gulf of Naples. In the center of the town is possible to buy some souvenir like limoncello bottles or inlaid wood objects famous in Sorrento for their quality and beauty.
Pompeii is one of the most famous archaeological sites of the Campania region and it is is also UNESCO heritage since 1997 for its historical importance. The breathtaking extent (over sixty hectares) of ruins which form this large urban centre, which has in some way survived time and the brutal violence of the volcano, was entirely surrounded by walls which wound for more than three kilometres around the city. At the entrance to the city, at the gates, the remains of hotels, inns and post stations, which welcomed visitors and merchants, are to be found and, further into the urban centre, shops of all kinds (from bakers to laundries, from cobblers to smiths, from greengrocers to pastry shops), in some cases still decorated by their painted signs, private houses, altars, small chapels, spas and baths (both private and public) and grandiose public buildings. The latter are gathered in three main centres: the Civil Forum with the temple of Jupiter, the Basilica, the covered market, the building of Eumachia, the Triangular Forum and the district of the theatres, with the ancient Doric temple and that of lsis, the gymnasium, the large and small theatres and finally the Amphitheatre area.
Positano is an ancient seaside town which lies on the southern side of the Lattari Mountains, sloping down gently towards the sea on terraces constructed along the rock spurs of M. Comune and M. Sant'Angelo a Tre Pizzi, right in the middle of the gulf between Punta Germano to west and Capo Sottile to east. Because of its outstanding panoramic position and mild climate, together with its picturesque architecture and the lush surrounding countryside, Positano has became one of the most popular resorts on the Amalfi Coast: white houses, the myriad colours of splendid gardens the historical beauties and the spectacular blue sea. In addition to the attractions offered by the town of Positano, some pleasant excursions can be made in its immediate neighbourhood. Starting from the Positano observation point behind Fornillo beach, visitors can follow the road that leads along a section of the coast intersected by spectacular cliffs, rising sheer out of the sea.

TOM STOPPARD Biography - Writers
Biography » writers » tom stoppard
Pseudonym William Boot (as a theatre critic)
Born July 3, 1937
Zl�n, Czechoslovakia
Occupation Playwright and screenwriter
Nationality British
Genres dramatic comedy
Subjects various, clever wordplay, quick-cut banter
Debut works Lord Malquist and Mr Moon (novel), Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are
Dead (play)
Sir Tom Stoppard, OM, CBE (born as Tom� Straussler on July 3, 1937) is a
British Academy Award winning screenwriter and Tony Award winning playwright.
Born in Zlín, Czechoslovakia, he is famous for plays such as The Coast of Utopia,
Arcadia, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Rock 'N' Roll, and also for co-writing
screenplays for Brazil and Shakespeare in Love.
Stoppard was born on July 3, 1937 in Zl�n, Czechoslovakia and moved to
Singapore[1] with other Jews on March 15, 1939, the day the Nazis invaded. In
1941, the family was evacuated to Darjeeling, India, to escape the Japanese
invasion of Singapore. His father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind as a
British army volunteer, and died in a Japanese prison camp after capture.
In India, Stoppard received an English education. In late 1945, his mother
Martha married a British army major named Kenneth Stoppard, who gave the boys
his English surname and moved the family with him to England after the war, in
1946. Stoppard attended the Dolphin School in Nottinghamshire, and later
completed his education at Pocklington School in Yorkshire.
Stoppard left school at seventeen and began work as a journalist for Western
Daily Press in Bristol. Thus, he never received a university education.[3] He
remained there from 1954 through 1958. In 1958, the Bristol Evening World
offered Stoppard the position of feature writer, humor columnist and secondary
drama critic, which took Stoppard into the world of theater. At the Bristol
Old Vic (at the time a well-regarded regional repertory company), Stoppard
formed friendships with director John Boorman and actor Peter O'Toole early in
their careers. In Bristol, he became known more for his strained attempts at
humor and unstylish clothes than for his writing.
By 1960, he had completed his first play A Walk on the Water, which was later
re-packaged as 1968's Enter a Free Man. Stoppard noted that the work owed much
to Robert Bolt's Flowering Cherry and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.
Within a week after sending A Walk on the Water to an agent, Stoppard received
his version of the "Hollywood-style telegrams that change struggling young
artists' lives." His first play was optioned, later staged in Hamburg, and
then broadcast on British Independent Television in 1963.
From September 1962 until April 1963, Stoppard worked in London as a drama
critic for Scene magazine, writing reviews and interviews both under his name
and the pseudonym William Boot (taken from Evelyn Waugh's Scoop). In 1964, a
Ford Foundation grant enabled Stoppard to spend 5 months writing in a Berlin
mansion, emerging with a one-act play titled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Meet
King Lear, which later evolved into his Tony-winning play Rosencrantz &
Guildenstern Are Dead. In the following years, Stoppard produced several
works for radio, television and the theater, including "M" is for Moon Among
Other Things (1964), A Separate Peace (1966) and If You're Glad I'll Be Frank (1966).
The 1967 London opening of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead at the Vic
Theatre made Stoppard an overnight success.
Over the next ten years, in addition to writing some of his own works, Stoppard
translated various plays into English, including works by Slawomir Mrozek,
Johann Nestroy, Arthur Schnitzler, and Vaclav Havel. It was at this time that
Stoppard became influenced by the works of Polish and Czech absurdists.
"Stoppardian" has become a term used to refer to works in which an author makes
use of witty statements to create comedy while addressing philosophical concepts.

Welcome to Prostate Cancer Group
If you have just learned about your cancer diagnosis or are struggling to cope with the treatments, you may be feeling many different emotions. Dealing with the feelings and changes cancer can bring can be difficult even when you are surrounded by loving and supportive people.
Talking to someone may be the first step in helping you cope with the uncertainties ahead.
Over the last 25 years, there has been extensive research on the positive effects of support groups as a method of coping with cancer, improving quality of life, and in some studies – even increasing survival. Research has shown that support groups help reduce the three most significant stressors association with cancer: unwanted aloneness, loss of control, and loss of hope. It has also shown that people who participate in support groups, whether face-to-face or online, report significant decreases in depression, increased zest for life, and a new attitude toward their illness.
ESCA CancerSupport knows how important finding a supportive community can be. With our CancerSupport Centre and online services, we help many people connect with each other and find hope. There are times when it is beneficial for an individual, couple or the whole family to sit down with one of our counsellors to talk about relationship or family issues related to the diagnosis and treatment.
Have you had a prostate cancer diagnosis or are you living with prostate cancer?
Come and join us and other men at our monthly virtual group.
This group offers professional and peer support and a confidential space for men to get together to share experiences, express concerns and ask questions.
The group is facilitated by Christian Holyoak, Psychologist and ESCA CancerSupport Counsellor.
For the time being we will meet virtually, via Zoom.

Delayed senescence in soybean: Terminology, research update, and survey results from growers. Plant Health Progress. 17:76-83.
Interpretive Summary: Terms used to describe symptoms associated with the delayed senescence of stems, leaves, pods, and seeds or various combinations of affected organs in field-grown soybean include delayed stem senescence, green bean syndrome, green plant malady, green stem, green stem disorder, green stem malady, green stem syndrome, greening effect, and stay green. In general, these terms often do not adequately describe the associated symptoms. As a result, scientific articles and agriculture press releases often use various terms inconsistently or interchangeably to describe delayed senescence in soybean. In this article, we review published reports on delayed senescence symptoms in soybean, summarize current research findings, provide examples of terms related to specific symptoms, and present an overview of the results of a multi-state survey directed to soybean growers to understand their concerns about delayed senescence. We propose to unify terms describing delayed senescence based on which plant parts that remain green. In general, more research, including the physiological and biochemical mechanisms, is needed to fully understand these various delayed maturity maladies to aid in development of soybean cultivars insensitive to delayed senescence. This information will be used by soybean researchers and extension personnel that are interested in soybean production.
Technical Abstract: The terms used to describe symptoms of delayed senescence in soybean often are used inconsistently or interchangeably and do not adequately distinguish the observed symptoms in the field. Various causes have been proposed to explain the development of delayed senescence symptoms. In this article, we review published reports on delayed senescence symptoms in soybean, summarize current research findings, provide examples of terms related to specific symptoms, and present an overview of the results of a multi-state survey directed to soybean growers to understand their concerns about delayed senescence. Some of these terms, such as green bean syndrome and green stem syndrome, can be induced by biotic factors while others, including green stem disorder and stay-green, may be related to background genetics of the soybean cultivar. Some delayed senescence terms involve the whole plant remaining green while other terms include just the stem and/or pods remaining green. In a survey of growers and crop advisors, 77% reported observing soybean plants or plant parts that remained green beyond when most plants in the field were fully mature with ripe seed. Most respondents attributed these symptoms to changes in breeding and choice of cultivars. We propose to unify terms describing delayed senescence based on which plant parts that remain green and the duration of these symptoms.


Immunization has been one of the most successful and safest public health measures available to populations worldwide, with an unparalleled record of disease reduction and prevention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and many other professional organizations recommend vaccinations from birth throughout the adult years to provide a lifetime of protection from vaccine-preventable diseases. IPHA concurs with these recommendations and believes in the effectiveness and safety of vaccines. All Iowans should receive recommended immunizations according to the schedule published by the CDC and ACIP.

Modern Union creates hip, stylish yoga bags with personality. Straps for yoga mats add versatility and make room for your yoga accessories.
Modern Union bags also started out of a need in the marketplace. About 18 months ago, I owned a yoga studio and was looking for a modern yoga bag to sell in the studio. Not one existed. I searched long and hard for fabric that met my idea of "modern", and the ball kept rolling from there. The bags also sell tremendously well as diaper bags. The best part of running my own business is the creative freedom I have. Of course, having children affects the way any business is run, especially if the owner is a stay at home mom. I am constantly working late nights and early mornings while they sleep. Those are my times to get the "business" taken care of. The rest of the day belongs to my kids and the joys of childhood.
Mom to six and a graphic designer, The Modern Hive is my place to share things I create or find helpful, beautiful, inspiring, & fun. I am a little bit country and a little bit city.
