The more things change, the more they stay the same – especially when it comes to initiatives that involve cultural change. Measurement is a perfect example – and I'm not talking purely about "software metrics," rather measurement in any industry.
When you take a business that has traditionally "flown by the seat of its pants" (in other words, it is a monopoly of sorts or it has made money in spite of itself) and start to keep track of what's going on, people have issues. The first step often is to simply measure anything that moves – data that are easy to capture – and then try to figure out some sort of conclusions or action plans. In IT (Information Technology) the landscape is littered with discarded data from failed measurement initiatives. Data in and of themselves are not bad, IF the data are used appropriately and in the right context.
I recently wrote the following article for Projects at Work based on concepts I first observed nearly 20 years ago, and they are as valid today as ever before.
As a consultant, I LOVE to work with companies who want to succeed with measurement. If you are tasked with starting metrics for your company, give me a call – maybe I can give you some ideas to save you time and money – and succeed with metrics!

Q: How would you manage this layout with a CMS These sort of layouts - horizontal aligned text and images lists, tend to be pretty popular on features pages of websites, ive designed one and coded it up, but its come across my mind that when the project is handed over a non technical person can easily edit the text, but then that will set the text / image alignment off.
To fix this they would also need to edit the css, but thats not suitable for most people.
Is there a better way to manage this ?
This is the html/css im using ive also made a jsfidlle if any one wants a play

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Sequi tempora eaque magni obcaecati quis at corrupti perferendis eum magnam ipsum maiores quod fugit dolorum odio temporibus voluptate asperiores atque esse.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Sequi tempora eaque magni obcaecati quis at corrupti perferendis eum magnam.

CSS
#wrapper {width:500px;}

p {width:280px;}
p.left {float:left; padding:30px 0 0 0;}
p.right {float:right; padding:45px 0 0 0;}

img {float:left;}

A: just manage your parent media markup with a css selector the 'non-technical' user will understand. Something like
<markup class=image-left'><markup></markup></markup>

then show the client to use '.image-left'  and/or '.image-right'
Or better, manage your whole layout from the start, making sure your 'image' will float left or right, depending on the row you are laying.
CSS
.markup:nth-child(even) {style it to float image left}
.markup:nth-child(even) img {float:left;margin:0 10px 10px 0}
.markup:nth-child(odd) {style it to float image right}
.markup:nth-child(odd) img {float:right;margin:0 0 10px 10px}

Q: Convert /bin/bash command to /bin/sh command I have the following command...
/bin/bash -c 'diff <(sort text2) <(sort text1)'

It sorts each file and pipes them into the diff function. This works well if /bin/bash exists. However, the system I'm on only has /bin/sh. I'm struggling to find the equivalent command for this.
If I run...
/bin/sh -c 'diff <(sort text2) <(sort text1)'

I will get...

/bin/sh: syntax error: unexpected "("

A: The POSIX shell equivalent of Bash:
bash -c 'diff <(sort text2) <(sort text1)'

is:
sh -c 'trap "rm -fr -- \"$t\"" EXIT ABRT INT;t=$(mktemp -d);mkfifo "$t/a" "$t/b";sort text1>"$t/a"&sort text2>"$t/b"&diff "$t/b" "$t/a"'

Or in a civilized way
#!/usr/bin/env sh

trap 'rm -fr -- "$tmpdir"' EXIT ABRT INT
tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)

FIFO_A="$tmpdir/fifoA"
FIFO_B="$tmpdir/fifoB"
mkfifo -- "$FIFO_A" "$FIFO_B"
sort text1 > "$FIFO_A" &
sort text2 > "$FIFO_B" &

A: Maybe just simple temp files?
sort text1 >a; sort text2 >b; diff b a; rm a b;


Poised to follow in the footsteps of the Internet, grid computing is on the verge of becoming more robust and accessible to the public in the near future. Focusing on this novel, yet already powerful, technology, Introduction to Grid Computing explores state-of-the-art grid projects, core grid technologies, and applications of the grid.
After comparing the grid with other distributed systems, the book covers two important aspects of a grid system: scheduling of jobs and resource discovery and monitoring in grid. It then discusses existing and emerging security technologies, such as WS-Security and OGSA security, as well as the functions of grid middleware at a conceptual level. The authors also describe famous grid projects, demonstrate the pricing of European options through the use of the Monte Carlo method on grids, and highlight different parallelization possibilities on the grid.
Taking a tutorial approach, this concise book provides a complete introduction to the components of the grid architecture and applications of grid computing. It expertly shows how grid computing can be used in various areas, from computational mechanics to risk management in financial institutions.


A Royal Enfield military motorcycle stars in an online comic book adventure.
There's a second installment of Royal Enfield's "graphic novel" (a virtual comic book) on the company's website.
The exciting story line highlights the Bullet's military origins with a patriotic story featuring a courageous young lieutenant in the Indian army. Of course, the company's motorcycle is the real star. It's a clever marketing device, aimed at young customers.
It also delights old comic fans such as myself. No one likes war, but this adventure story is a guilty pleasure for me.
"The concept and excellent action-comic artwork have enough drama to keep the reader interested though the story is still work-in-progress. It would be interesting to see how it culminates. This is a cool idea to keep users hooked."
Each installment ends with "Watch this space for more..." So, hopefully we will see future installments.

BRICS stands for rules based on multilateralism: S. African official (БРИКС выступает за правила, основанные на многосторонности: официальный представитель Южной Африки) / China, September, 2020
Keywords: quotation, expert_opinion, cooperation
Source: www.china.org.cn
JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- BRICS stands for rules based on multilateralism and governance, South Africa's International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor said here on Wednesday.
Pandor made the remarks while giving a lecture on the topic of "South Africa's place in the changing global order" at the Wits School of Governance on Wednesday evening.
She said BRICS is opposed to unilateralism, populism, regime change and protectionism but shares global governance.
"BRICS nations have shown unshakable confidence in and reinforce support for the rules-based international system and for multilateralism. We believe that BRICS is an important forum for global political, economic and financial partnership and for promotion for the world that is equitable, balanced and shaped on the important pillars of multilateralism and international law," said Pandor.
She said that BRICS represents potential powerful countries that could be a strong voice opposed to "unipolarity and unilateralism," adding that despite the drawback caused by COVID-19, they continue to work together as BRICS members.
"The BRICS parties have come together to act in concert against the pandemic and to provide support for each other during this difficult time. We are currently working on renewing BRICS economic partnership strategy in order to ensure that we secure greater cooperation in various economic sectors," Pandor said.
BRICS is an acronym for five major emerging countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, which together represent about 42 percent of the global population, 23 percent of global GDP, 30 percent of world territory and 18 percent of global trade. Enditem
BRICS NSAs Discuss Anti-Terror Plan (НГБ БРИКС обсуждают план борьбы с терроризмом) / India, September, 2020

The national security advisers of the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (Brics) grouping on Thursday discussed a draft anti-terrorism strategy that is expected to be approved at an upcoming summit.
The five NSAs, who joined a virtual meeting hosted by Russia, also discussed challenges and threats to global, regional and national security. Contrary to speculation, there were no bilateral discussions by the Indian and Chinese NSAs on the margins of the meeting against the backdrop of the border standoff.
"This was a virtual meeting and bilateral talks are not possible in this format," external affairs ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava told a weekly news briefing.
A statement issued by the Russian side after the meeting said the five countries had prepared a draft anti-terrorism strategy that will be submitted for approval during the upcoming Brics summit.
The draft strategy reflects fundamental aspects of the Brics states, such as respect for sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs, adherence to international law and recognition of the UN's central role in security matters, the statement said.
The NSAs also discussed biological security cooperation and information and communications technology security, and there was a proposal to continue work on a system for countering security threats in the sphere of information.
The participants expressed concern over the escalation of tensions around Iran, Venezuela and Syria, according to the Russian statement. It added that the Brics states are cooperating within the framework of building a multi-polar system based on justice and equality.
There was no official word from the Indian side on the outcomes of the meeting, which was chaired by Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of Russia's security council, and joined by Indian NSA Ajit Doval, Chinese NSA Yang Jiechi, Brazil's M Innosencio, and South Africa's minister of state security Ayanda Dlodlo.
The Russian side also criticised the deployment of weapons in space by the US and the use of outer space for military operations. It also proposed the creation of new mechanisms in the field of countering epidemiological threats and to conduct expert consultations on bio-safety in the Brics format. The five countries agreed to work on deepening coordination at key international organisations and forums, especially the UN.
Africa-BRICS Format Cooperation Has Great Potential - Russian Diplomat (Сотрудничество в формате Африка-БРИКС имеет большой потенциал - российский дипломат) / Pakistan, September, 2020
Keywords: quotation, cooperation
Russia is ready to cooperate with strategic partners in Africa, and Africa-BRICS format has great potential for that, Russian Ambassador-at-Large Oleg Ozerov, who serves as the head of the secretariat for the Russian-African partnership forum, told Sputnik.
"Competition is vital for people to run faster, work more effectively, decrease costs and boost productiveness. But that does not at all mean that we cannot and must not cooperate - especially with our strategic partners China and other states. We have a very good format and very good basis: it's the cooperation between the African continent and BRICS countries," the diplomat said.
Ozerov remarked that each BRICS country had its strength and the cooperation would prevail over the competition.
"Common projects exist and they are implemented - in particular, the New Development Bank, which is the bank of BRICS, opened its office in Johannesburg. Here you have the ground for the development of our partnership on the continent," Ozerov said.
BRICS should make greater contributions to safeguarding world peace and development: senior Chinese official (БРИКС должен вносить больший вклад в защиту мира и развития во всем мире: высокопоставленный китайский чиновник) / China, September, 2020

Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), on Thursday called for more collective efforts by five BRICS countries to further deepen strategic mutual trust, strengthen dialogue and cooperation with other emerging markets and developing countries, and make greater contributions to safeguarding world peace and development.
Yang, also director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, made the appeal at the 10th Meeting of the BRICS High Representatives for Security Issues via video link.
He pointed out that facing the challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, BRICS countries -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- have demonstrated their firm determination to unite and cooperate to tide over difficulties together.
BRICS countries need to consolidate the three pillar areas of cooperation, and translate important consensus of the leaders into real actions, Yang said.
In his remarks, Yang said the unilateralism, protectionism and bullying have seriously affected international relations and security order. BRICS countries should take the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations as an opportunity to firmly safeguard the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and jointly issue a strong BRICS voice of multilateralism.
BRICS countries should strengthen coordination on major international issues, oppose the Cold War thinking and ideological confrontation, and safeguard their common interests, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, Yang said, adding that BRICS countries should also strive to seek security through equality, development and cooperation, and jointly promote political settlement of hot issues.
In the meeting, all parties exchanged in-depth views on regional and international hot issues, bio-safety, anti-terrorism and cyber security. They agreed to continue supporting the World Health Organization in playing a leading role, and to strengthen BRICS countries' cooperation in bio-safety governance and vaccine research and development.
They also agreed to continue to work together to promote fruitful results at the BRICS Leaders Meeting later this year.

Harvey's discovery that blood circulates is a landmark in the history of medical knowledge. Harvey explains that the idea occurred to him because he considered the human body as a micro-unit of the universe. He saw the planets in the universe were in motion. Therefore, he assumed that the blood in the body too should be in motion. Sri Aurobindo says that during the Vedic period man lived in harmony with Nature. To him, the Spirit and Nature were one. Buddhism preached the renunciation of life and conquered the whole of India and later a greater part of Asia. India gave up Buddhism but its basic tenet of renunciation was from that time accepted by almost all schools of Indian yoga. Sri Aurobindo further says that Man must regain that unity, but at the level of Supermind. Harvey's view of life was a view of the whole. It led him to one significant discovery. We have now lost it.
Schumacher, a British economist, published a book in the 80's pronouncing the idea of 'Economics as if people mattered.' Economics, considered on its own as economics for economics' sake will lead one astray, away from the truth. The centre of economics is Money for the monetarists. It is man who created money. Money is there to serve man. Man should be the centre of economics, not money. Science is a mental tool Man has created so that it may serve him. Science is not the centre of life; nor can it ever become one. Man is the centre of life. It is a psychological superstition that Man becomes a slave of money or science which are his own creations. Science pursued for its own sake has led to several wonderful technologies. They have generated pollution, assuring that our future generations have no place to live in. The UN took initiative to have an International Commission to study pollution. As a result, now we realise that science is a part and society is a whole.
To pursue the part for its own sake is not the highest wisdom we have inherited either from Aristotle or from the Vedic seers. Harvey lived in the 17th century. He was a physician to James I and Charles I. Though he lived three hundred years ago, his sense of science was a sense of the whole. It is not only money and science that must serve man. Yoga seeks moksha, release of the Spirit. Sri Aurobindo calls it the last act of selfishness of the soul. Yoga is for the Man, or better still, for the Spirit. That Spirit should flower in life. So, He said 'All life is yoga'. His Integral yoga says the Spirit should evolve in Life and make earth heaven. It is an approach which considers Man as a whole, an integrated whole, a whole of which the Divine is the centre.

What are the HIPAA Breach Notification Requirements? As required by the HIPAA law itself, state laws that provide greater privacy protection (which may be those covering mental health, HIV infection, and AIDS information) continue to apply. If a positive case is identified in the workplace, the employer is encouraged to investigate the exposure of others in the workplace without disclosing the name of the individual or any personally identifiable information about the person. "If telehealth cannot be provided in a private setting, covered health care providers should continue to implement reasonable HIPAA safeguards to limit incidental uses or disclosures of protected health information," explained OCR. Notwithstanding the discussion above regarding employers, a self-insured employee health plan maintained by an employer is a Covered Entity under HIPAA (i.e. The HIPAA Privacy Rule permits disclosures of PHI to individuals involved in the care of a patient such as friends, family members, caregivers, and other individuals that have been identified by the patient. This guidance is intended to clarify guidance issued April 1, 2020 that may have caused confusion regarding the disclosure of COVID-19-positive persons to law enforcement and address questions that have been raised. There should be a distance of at least 6 feet between each user of the facility. The Notice of Enforcement Discretion applies to the HIPAA Privacy Rule Provisions 45 CFR 164.502(a)(3), 45 CFR 164.502(e)(2), 45 CFR 164.504(e)(1) and (5) but only for a good faith use or disclosure of PHI for public health activities by a business associate for public health activities consistent with 45 CFR 164.512(b), or health oversight activities consistent with 45 CFR 164.512(d). Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, business associates are only permitted to disclose PHI for public health and health oversight activities if it is specifically stated in their business associate agreements that they are allowed to do so. These solutions would not necessarily be HIPAA-compliant but can be used during the public health emergency until such point that OCR makes a public announcement that its Notice of Enforcement Discretion is no longer in effect. Employers have been encouraged by the CDC and EEOC to question their employees regarding travel, exposure, or symptoms related to COVID-19. Follow this and additional works at: ... Of note, there are exceptions already built into HIPAA that could justify release of a COVID-19 patient's recent whereabouts and activities. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, and declared the outbreak a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Swap Ebola for COVID-19, and the article provides useful guidance for covered entities and business associates subject to HIPAA and to employers, family and friends who are not. As a result: If the employer obtained the information through its status as a plan (i.e., as the payer for the employee's health care services), then such information is PHI and subject to HIPAA (see first bullet above for Covered Entities). Statement in compliance with Texas Rules of Professional Conduct. Further information on the provision of telehealth services during the COVID-19 public health emergency is available from OCR on this link. OCR released a bulletin about the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in February 2020 confirming how patient information may be shared under the HIPAA Privacy Rule during emergency situations, such as the outbreak of an infectious disease, a summary of which is detailed below. This includes disclosing positive test results for COVID-19 to state and local health departments, HHS, or the CDC as appropriate. The NLR does not wish, nor does it intend, to solicit the business of anyone or to refer anyone to an attorney or other professional. "Such reasonable precautions could include using lowered voices, not using speakerphone, or recommending that the patient move to a reasonable distance from others when discussing PHI.". In such cases, PHI may be shared without obtaining authorization from the patient.

With regard to the coronavirus, where so much remains unknown, "that leaves employers in a bit of a gray area," said Aaron Goldstein, a partner in the Seattle office of law firm Dorsey. Healthcare providers must take steps to ensure that telehealth services are conducted in a private setting. The Notice of Enforcement Discretion only applies to the above provisions of the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The Notice applies to all health care providers covered by HIPAA that provide telehealth services during the emergency. Unless otherwise noted, attorneys are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, nor can NLR attest to the accuracy of any notation of Legal Specialization or other Professional Credentials.

A while back I got a ZX Vega for the LOLs and trying to remember what the Spectrum was like. Of course, I didn't need to remember: I have quite a few in watertight boxes in the garage and, of course, I was a BBC Micro fan as a lad.
So, after a quick play and realising that 80s resolution on a 42" TV does not look good and that Spectrum artefact clash has always been horrible (thanks to the way that the Speccy did screen memory), I wondered how this thing worked.
Obviously, it's running a Spectrum emulator – my initial guess is that the creators of the Vega wouldn't have written their own – not when there's many open source and easily licensed emulators around.
As a quick finger-in-the-air estimation, I thought it would probably use some simple Linux like base OS, running a framebuffer menu over the top and probably spawning fuse. After all, that's how I would do it.
When reverse engineering stuff like this you can attack at multiple levels: looking at the software, looking at the hardware or attempting to reverse the firmware.
The first step when reversing stuff is to use some binary matching tools, these look for signatures in the data and attempt to work out what stuff is in there. The one of these that gives the best results, usually is binwalk.

579           0x243           Copyright string: "Copyright (C) 2015 Retro Computers Limited."
This is sort of helpful; but not really – a copyright string that I could've guessed and some references to compressed Spectrum games.

This is more useful: we have some comments, a version number (0.1.64.20150909) and what look like chunk headers (VEGA, SMEM, STMP). We'll come back to these later.
Now that's useful – that's the header for a FAT16 volume made by mkdosfs. As this is a filing system we should be able to rip it out and mount it through loopback.
In red I've highlighted the end of field markers and in blue the end of line.
So presumably the firmware would expand in size dependent on games.
Right, we've decoded the lion's share of the firmware, what about the rest?
The STMP is a big clue of where the file format comes from and we can find a binary definition at rockbox of all places! There's a copy of the tool, elf2sb that can be found on github. There's also documentation at nxp.com.
Using the rockbox link we can decode the STMP chunk, starting at 0x2f6; where the word block is used below, these refer to 16 bytes blocks.
0x0C 4 u32 0x00000001 Flags; bit 0 is bootable.
If you've kept track of the sizes you can see they're all roughly correct indicating that we're interpreting this correctly.
After this we have the DEK block – a block of Data Encryption Keys; each of the DEKs are encrypted with the KEK – the Key Encryption Key.
And that's our problem – we don't know the KEK. Bugger.
According to the Rockbox documentation it uses AES-128 in CBC mode to encrypt the DEK with a KEK passed on the command line.
We've hit a wall with the firmware here, unless we can brute force the key (128 bits – that's 3.4028236692093846346337460743177e+38 different combinations – that's not happening any times soon) or we can look into using side channel mechanisms (maybe more on that later).
It's time to look at the hardware.

'This is a public health emergency.' Latino leaders call for vaccinating densely populated parts of Rhode Island
Communities of color in Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, and other cities have been devastated by COVID-19, the leaders said in a letter sent to the governor
By Edward Fitzpatrick Globe Staff,Updated December 21, 2020, 6:00 a.m.

PROVIDENCE — Latino elected leaders in Rhode Island are calling for Governor Gina M. Raimondo to make densely populated areas of the state, in which most of the state's Latino and Black residents live, a priority for distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Secretary of State Nellie M. Gorbea, Providence Mayor Jorge O. Elorza, Providence City Council President Sabina Matos, Central Falls Mayor James A. Diossa, Central Falls Mayor-elect Maria Rivera, and 24 other state and local officials sent a letter to Raimondo on Friday, pointing out that the pandemic has been "especially devastating in high-density communities where most people of color live."
"This is a public health emergency," the letter says, underscoring the urgency in cities including Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, Johnston, Cranston, and North Providence. "To ignore these communities is to risk the rate of communal spread of the COVID-19 virus to continue in our state."
In a year-end interview on Friday, Raimondo told the Globe that making Central Falls a priority for the vaccine is a "good idea."
"That is something we are very open to, and we are figuring out how to do it right now," she said. "The challenge is a very limited supply" of the COVID-19 vaccine.
She noted the state will receive 3,900 fewer doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine than it had expected in the coming week — an unexplained 36 percent reduction. "It's incredibly frustrating," Raimondo said.
At a news conference Friday, Dr. Philip A. Chan, an infectious disease doctor with the state Department of Health, said the state will be making Central Falls a priority for the vaccine "because of the very high rate of COVID-19 in the community."
From the outset, Central Falls has been Rhode Island's coronavirus hot spot, with a cumulative COVID-19 rate of 15,664 per 100,000 – by far the highest in the state, according to the latest state Department of Health data. Health officials estimate that 50 percent of the 1.29-square-mile city's 19,383 residents will have been infected by the end of this year.
"We want to get this vaccine out to the communities who are most in need of it," Chan said.
But state officials have not yet addressed the idea of prioritizing high-density communities other than Central Falls. Providence is home to nearly 180,000 people and has the second-highest cumulative infection rate, at 10,490 per 100,000. Pawtucket, a city of some 72,000 people, has the third-highest rate at 8,863 per 100,000.
In their letter, the leaders noted that for months the virus has taken a disproportionate toll on Latino and Black Rhode Islanders. "Still, that only speaks to part of the story, especially when comparing age-adjusted rates of infection and hospitalization and deaths," they wrote.
On the whole, the Latino population is younger than the white population, and age-adjusted data show that the cumulative COVID-19 hospitalization rate is much higher among Latino residents:1,009 per 100,000, compared to 608 per 100,000 among Black residents and 150 per 100,000 among white residents.
Latino residents face 4.5 times the risk for contracting COVID-19, 6.7 times the risk of hospitalization, and 2.5 times the risk of death compared to the white population. African-American and Afro-Caribbean populations are at 2.4 times the risk of infection, 4.1 times the risk of hospitalization, and 2.1 times the risk of death.
"You have repeatedly stated that you will be following the data to design your public policy," the leaders told Raimondo. "Given the limited supply of vaccine, the data indicates that we must begin vaccinating those largely affected communities."
Many people who live in Central Falls and Providence work in hospitals, grocery stores, hotels, and other jobs that place them at higher risk of contracting the virus, the letter said. Also, those cities lack affordable housing and have lots of people living in close quarters, which increases the risk.
"If you want to be truly effective in stopping the rampant spread of this deadly virus, we must address the disparities facing our communities of color and those that live in high-density housing," they wrote.
The Latino leaders urged Raimondo and the state COVID-19 Vaccine Subcommittee to take "bold action in protecting the lives of the most vulnerable amongst us."
Also, the letter emphasized the need to educate the public and to dispel myths about the vaccine.
"Having been subject to other medical trials in our nation's history, it is to be expected that there will be initial resistance by communities of color," it states. "The state must immediately put into place a multi-lingual, multi-cultural communication plan that can communicate the safety and the effectiveness of the vaccine and dispel the myths and misinformation rampant in our communities."
Rivera, who will become mayor of Central Falls on Jan. 4, said she has asked Raimondo and the COVID-19 Vaccine Subcommittee to prioritize densely populated communities of color, such as Central Falls, by allocating 20,000 vaccines to those communities in January.
"As the only municipality in Rhode Island with a majority-minority, Central Falls has been absolutely devastated by COVID-19," Rivera said. "Our city is two-thirds Latinx, who are at higher risk of contracting the virus, being hospitalized, and even dying. With so many of our residents serving as frontline and essential workers who often return home to multi-family settings, we can't wait."
On Monday, the Rhode Island Legislative Black and Latino Caucus joined in calling for Raimondo and the COVID-19 Vaccine Subcommittee to prioritize access to the vaccine for communities of color and high-density populations.
"Whether we are speaking about the essential workers who have continued to serve the public, even at great risk to themselves or families, or individuals living in tight spaces where the opportunity to properly quarantine is impossible, we must protect these populations that are struggling immensely," said Representative Jean Philippe Barros, a Pawtucket Democrat who is the caucus chairman. "This will only be possible if the state's community of color and those living in the most-affected areas are prioritized to receive this game-changing vaccine as soon as possible."

Download tablatures with sheet music in Adobe Acrobat .pdf, Guitar Pro or Power Tab Editor file formats, so you can learn how to play in all the different styles! You can also find guitar and bass backing tracks.
Learn African Bass grooves and Guitar music! They are awesome!
Are you into soukous, sebene, makossa, sungura, maskandi or Mali music? Just keep coming back from time to time. You'll be able to find video lessons and essays for all kinds of different African music genres and styles and study them with ease. Whether it's West African music, salegy or Zulu, I'll attempt to keep creating clean guitar and bass videos that display the playing technique for all these styles.
Africa's music can still be considered a hidden treasure to the rest of the world. The old continent's culture has many secrets and gifts waiting to be discovered by the inquiring minds of us, curious people. You can now achieve these playing skills by paying attention to these lessons and by following the tablatures. There has been a great amount of creativity expressed on both the guitar and the bass by African musicians throughout the years. Knowing that, it's not surprising that so many of the now well known popular genres had their origins in Africa. A great segment of our well known music has been influenced and shaped by those African sounds. Having that in mind, it's not all that difficult to re-discover these sounds, absorb the melodies and attempt to master the material you've studied. Think of musical styles like the blues, R&B or jazz. But also, many different sorts of Latin American and Caribbean genres all have their roots in the music of Africa. On top of that, a big part of the polyrhythmic and polyphonic nature of both classical and pop music come from Africa as well. Yet the continent's music in its original, purer, subtler and probably less egotistical form remained virtually unknown to most of us. You can now study all these barely discovered genres and playing styles on both the bass guitar and the guitar.
Africa always had its traditional stringed instruments, like the kora, ngoni or akonting. Both the guitar and the bass guitar in their current form are relatively newer than the previously mentioned, ancient ones. Nonetheless, they quickly gained popularity in the African continent. Not only that, but the playing styles got majorly influenced by those of the older, more traditional ones as well. Clearly, Africa has embraced the guitar and its even newer cousin, the bass guitar. You, with a great set of ears and a natural affinity towards music might be able to recognize when you hear a guitar or bass being played one of the genuinely African ways. This site is for you to learn all kinds of African music, my friend.

Suspicious Deaths of Bankers Are Now Classified as "Trade Secrets" by Federal Regulator →
President Obama's Wall Street Problem
By Pam Martens: April 24, 2014
Candidate Obama Promised Change We Can Believe In
If one tallies up the members of President Obama's cabinet who played a role in crashing a bank before coming to help him govern the country or worked for a major law firm serving Wall Street before being hand-picked by the President to head up the bodies charged with investigating Wall Street, the Executive Branch begins to feel a lot like Wall Street West. That might explain why so many fellow Americans feel like Wall Street is running (and ruining and rigging) the country.
Is the President naïve or being maneuvered by the invisible hand? We were asking the same kind of question on May 6, 2008 during the President's first campaign for the Presidency:
"This presents three unique credibility problems for the yes-we-can-little-choo-choo-that-could campaign: (1) these are not just "lawyers/law firms;" the vast majority of these firms are also registered lobbyists at the Federal level; (2) Senator Obama has made it a core tenet of his campaign platform that the way he is going to bring the country hope and change is not taking money from federal lobbyists…"
When the President appeared on stages across the country and said he was not taking money from Federal lobbyists, he was making a less than forthright statement to the American people. In February 2008, as the President's campaign ramped up, 27 of his bundlers (people soliciting donations from others) were employed by law firms registered as Federal lobbyists, according to the nonprofit watchdog, Public Citizen. Many of these lawyers were equity owners in their law firms – meaning they stood to profit from the lobbying fees.
Last September, President Obama announced that he was nominating Leslie Caldwell to head the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. While Caldwell had previously worked for the U.S. Department of Justice for 17 years, for just shy of a decade she has more recently been a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, a law firm representing almost every major Wall Street bank as well as being a registered Federal lobbyist.
According to The Legal 500, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP's current or recent clients include JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, UBS, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Morgan Stanley. The Legal 500 web site also notes that Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP "provides key regulatory expertise thanks to its suite of over 35 lawyers with prior experience at the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the DOJ, a great asset to clients seeking SEC relief in matters such as exemptive orders and no-action letters."
Caldwell has yet to step into her new role because she has not been confirmed by the full Senate. Caldwell's predecessor in the post, Lanny Breuer, announced he was stepping down one day after the PBS program Frontline aired an investigation in January of 2013 titled The Untouchables. Breuer returned to his partnership at Covington & Burling where he now serves as Vice Chairman. Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, also came to his government post from Covington & Burling – a firm that also represents some of the biggest names on Wall Street.
During The Untouchables, producer Martin Smith shares this with viewers:
MARTIN SMITH: "We spoke to a couple of sources from within the Criminal Division, and they reported that when it came to Wall Street, there were no investigations going on. There were no subpoenas, no document reviews, no wiretaps."
Another partner from Covington & Burling played a key oversight role in the lead up to the Wall Street collapse in 2008. John Dugan, a former bank lobbyist, headed the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which regulates all national banks, from August 4, 2005 through August 14, 2010. According to Covington & Burling's web site, Dugan now chairs their Financial Institutions Group – that is, he's back to representing Wall Street.
Yesterday, it was announced that Marshall Miller, the head of the Criminal Division for the U.S. Attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York, had assumed the role last week as number two in the Department of Justice Criminal Division, ostensibly to serve under Caldwell if she gains full Senate confirmation. Unfortunately, Miller's background is heavy on terrorism and light on Wall Street prosecutions, which are typically handled out of the Southern District of New York.
According to Miller's bio at Fordham Law, where he has served as adjunct faculty, he was "lead prosecutor in United States v. Russell Defreitas, in which five defendants were convicted after two trials of plotting to bomb the fuel tanks and pipelines at John F. Kennedy International Airport, United States v. Sathajhan Sarachandran, in which four LTTE operatives were convicted of attempting to purchase approximately $1 million worth of anti-aircraft missiles, missile launchers and other high-powered weaponry, and United States v. Shahawar Matin Siraj, in which two defendants were convicted after trial of conspiring to detonate explosives in the Herald Square subway station in New York City."
Miller also served as the Eastern District's National Security and Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council Coordinator and supervised the prosecutions of Al Qaeda operatives Bryant Neal Vinas and Najibullah Zazi.
The FBI, an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, recently announced it was commencing an investigation to determine if the stock market is being rigged by high frequency traders. It has also been reported that the DOJ is investigating Wall Street's potential involvement in rigging the interest rate benchmark known as Libor; in rigging physical commodity markets and foreign currency exchange — activities which add up to billions a year in losses to U.S. investors and consumers.
We hope, but are highly doubtful, that before the next financial crash, someone within the Executive Branch will have the epiphany that it was not terrorists in caves in the Middle East who destroyed the U.S. economy and the jobs of millions of Americans but men in well-protected caverns on Wall Street — and make staffing decisions accordingly.

Since the beginning of Dr. Kazan's career in 2001, he has always believed the only way to real health, healing and wellness are through natural methods. With proper diet and exercise, the body systems can function correctly. Today we are faced with growing concerns about the quality of our environment. Our food sources, air and water qualities have become so tainted that sickness and disease have become the norm in our society. The recent Dark Act passed by your government now does not require food companies to label GMO products. In 2010 after searching for more than ten years for natural health remedies that would make people genuinely healthy, Dr. Kazan discovered Nutrition Response Testing.

Advanced High School-College Level. This piece is the opening tune on Maynard Ferguson's "These Cats can Swing." Up-Tempo Blues with an exciting head.

I am trying to get Dot1x working with the OfficeConnect 1920S Switch, which can only be configured by the Web page.
I was able to complete the RADIUS server settings, which are working with ProVision and Comware based HP switches correctly. I have tested and implemented the RADIUS settings on many switches up to this point.
The 1920S switch has Port Access Control - Admin Mode and Monitor Mode Enabled.
I have Force Authorized set on all, but one port at this point. This port is set to Auto.
I get to PAE State of Connecting and the device never gets and IP address or connected to the network.
I have tried doing it with Monitor Mode off and on and it will never work.
On the RADIUS server I can find the Event Logs showing it Authenticated properly and was allowed access..
On the Switch in the RADIUS Statistics it is showing that it received an Access Accept packet, but I am still not getting access.
After digging through the logs under Diagnostics I found the issue.
In the Microsoft RADIUS server policy settings on the RADIUS server, I removed the RADIUS attribute for "service-type", which was marked as "Framed". This is supposed to be set for RADIUS auth for 802.1X, but will cause the switch to fail.
After I removed the "service-type" attribute the system authenticating with Dot1X was able to get on the network.
Admittedly this is a bug in the software as all other HP switches are able to login with that attribute set. And based on the way the RADIUS server works it should be able to.

Sleek simplicity is the idea behind the newest chassis in the Urban series. Join us as we look at the new Urban T21 from Thermaltake.
While there are a ton of huge chassis designs that will offer you every feature under the sun, as well as digging as deep as those companies possibly can while offering such cases, there is a huge market looking for something on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. There are quite a few users out there looking to find chassis designs made more for the beginner with a bit of room for upgrades, or just want to be able to keep a full ATX system housed in as small of a chassis as physically possible. This is the angle that Thermaltake has taken in their latest addition to the Urban Series.
We have already seen the original design of the Urban series with the S71 we looked at back in July, and we found that design to be sleek, rounded, and had plenty of features to sway any buyer. On the basic level, this latest addition definitely takes on a similar aesthetic appeal that we found earlier in the Urban series, but the interior has been completely reworked with a completely different design this time around. The idea here is speed of the build and simplicity of design to make a compact yet affordable option to obtain, yet still get the externals that made the S71 a success.
This time around as we look at the Urban T21, keep an eye out for the internal changes, as well as a couple of external things that makes this chassis stand on its own four feet within the Urban series. While there is almost a nostalgic feeling to this interior design, Thermaltake took the steps needed to keep the build as tool-free as possible, making this new Urban T21 on of the fastest builds we have done, was super simple to make it all happen, and while compact, Thermaltake gives everything needed for users to appreciate this design.
If I have yet to gain or at least pique your interest, once you see more, you may very well be on board as well.
