OSHA Adopts Revised Enforcement Policy for Recording Cases of COVID-19
On April 13, 2020, we reported that the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued enforcement guidance for recording cases of COVID-19. Under OSHA's recordkeeping requirements, COVID-19 is a recordable illness, and employers are responsible for recording cases of COVID-19 if the case:
Is confirmed as a coronavirus illness;
Is work-related as defined by 29 CFR 1904.5; and
Involves one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7, such as medical treatment beyond first aid or days away from work.
OSHA's initial enforcement guidance advised that, until further notice, it would not enforce its recordkeeping requirements to require employers – other than those in the healthcare industry, emergency response organizations, and correctional institutions – to make work-relatedness determinations for COVID-19 illnesses.
However, yesterday (May 19, 2020), OSHA revised its policy. Under the new policy, OSHA will enforce the recordkeeping requirements of 29 CFR 1904 for employee COVID-19 illnesses for all employers. OSHA recognizes that it remains difficult to determine whether a COVID-19 illness is work-related, given the nature of the disease and community spread. OSHA, thus, emphasizes that employers must make "reasonable efforts" to determine whether a COVID-19 case is work-related. To determine an employer's "reasonable efforts," OSHA will consider (1) the reasonableness of the employer's investigation into work-relatedness; (2) the evidence available to the employer; and (3) the evidence that a COVID-19 illness was contracted at work.

In memoriam Jaakko Mäkelä
The founder, soul of our company Jaakko Mäkelä passed away on 18th November 2017, at the age of 67 years. Jaakko was born on 14 March 1950 in Kokkola. He completed his engineering degree in Jyväskylä in the 1970s. He started his family as a young man and had a wife and three sons. Jaakko was a dreamer, who determinately fulfilled his dreams bit by bit. He worked as a manager in numerous companies in our industry, still thriving today, before he found his place as an entrepreneur in Saarijärvi. Ever since he was a young man, Jaakko had had a dream of having a family, a house by a lake and his own business. Saarijärvi, a picturesque town in the middle of the Finnish lake district, offered all this.
Over time, the business grew, became international and was established as one of the leading businesses in the field. In 2005, Jaakko temporarily moved to Pärnu, Estonia to start a subsidiary for Finn-Rotor. He ended up staying in Pärnu for nearly ten years. Eventually, in 2013 Jaakko returned to his home in Saarijärvi for good. At that point, a serious illness and limitations of life had already cast a shadow on Jaakko's life.
Jaakko was always extremely interested in technology. No matter whether it was a new innovative product or extension of the production facilities, Jaakko always gave it a 100 per cent of his time and energy. He also involved himself with the practical matters, never hesitated to speak his mind and was known for his Ostrobothnian frankness. Jaakko was a true visionary and he understood the big picture and cause and effect relationships. He was a true cosmopolite and mastered the international trade and its customs and requirements. This was a major factor that led Jaakko and the company into international success.
Although Jaakko was known for his work and business, family and nature had a very important role in his life. The wellbeing of his children and grandchildren were always his top priority. He felt at home in the woods picking berries and in the deserts of Lapland, where he also took his sons for hiking ever since they were little boys. The wilderness cottage of Salonsaari by the Lake Pyhäjärvi was also an important place for Jaakko. From there, he applied for peace and inspiration as well carry out his passion for log house building. Finishing the cottage was not the main point, but the making of it.
Jaakko had a positive outlook on life and he was very active even despite the illness. He busied himself with hiking, berry picking and building his cabin whenever his health allowed him to do so. He found joy in every day. Things were always "actually quite ok".
There is a saying "Eagles don't fly in flocks". Jaakko never flew in flocks. He was an independent, strong-willed free spirit. With great respect and humbleness we continue our way to a successful future on the path he paved for us.

As described earlier, we have to use a great circle distance calculation here to allow for the curvature of the earth's surface. 0f kilometres" % distance Don't worry about the complex maths involved here; basically, we are converting the latitude and longitude values to radians, calculating the difference in latitude/ longitude values between the two points, and then passing the results through some trigonometric functions to obtain the great circle distance. The value of 6371 is the radius of the earth, in kilometers.
One of the options in this menu might be to calculate the distance between two points; when this option is selected, the web application would prompt the user to enter the two locations, attempt to geocode them by calling an appropriate web service (and display an error message if a location couldn't be geocoded), then calculate the distance between the two points using Proj, and finally display the results to the user. Alternatively, if you have a database containing useful geospatial data, you could let the user select the two locations from the database rather than typing in arbitrary location names or street addresses.
24 ] Chapter 2 For example, a civic location is simply a street address, which is another perfectly valid (though scientifically less precise) way of defining a location. Similarly, jurisdictional locations include information about which governmental boundary (such as an electoral ward, borough, or city) the location is within, as this information is important in some contexts. Distance The distance between two points on the earth's surface can be thought of in different ways. For example: • Angular distance: This is the angle between two rays going out from the centre of the earth through the two points: Angular distances are commonly used in seismology, and you may encounter them when working with geospatial data.

Q: Guava precondition checks, empty List I would like to know what is the best pattern for precondition checks on a list from which I will need to pick the first item.
In words, I suppose the list should not be null and its size should be > 1.
I find Guava's checkPositionIndex not helpful in this respect. On the contrary, I find it counter-intuitive, see the example below which bombs on an empty list because I use checkPositionIndex rather than checkArgument, as outlined after the guard which does not trigger.
It seems like checking position 0 is not sufficient to validate the argument even if I .get(0) from it?
import static com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkArgument;
import static com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkNotNull;
import static com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkPositionIndex;
import java.util.List;
import com.google.common.collect.Lists;
public class HowShouldIUseCheckPositionIndex {
  private static class ThingAMajig {
    private String description;
    private ThingAMajig(String description) {
      this.description = description;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return description;
    }
  }
  private static void goByFirstItemOfTheseAMajigs(List<ThingAMajig> things) {
    checkNotNull(things);
    // Check whether getting the first item is fine
    checkPositionIndex(0, things.size()); // Looks intuitive but...
    System.out.println(things.get(0)); // Finally, help the economy!
    checkArgument(things.size() > 0); // This would have worked :(
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<ThingAMajig> fullList =
        Lists.newArrayList(new ThingAMajig(
            "that thingy for the furnace I have been holding off buying"));
    List<ThingAMajig> emptyList = Lists.newLinkedList();
    goByFirstItemOfTheseAMajigs(fullList);
    // goByFirstItemOfTheseAMajigs(emptyList); // This *bombs*
  }
}

A: You don't need to do the check at all, in point of fact.
The list.get(0) call itself will already throw basically exactly the same error message.
But if you did want to do the check explicitly, yes, use checkElementIndex or checkArgument(!list.isEmpty()).

A: You should use checkElementIndex() instead.
checkPositionIndex() ensures that the given position is a valid position to insert new element to (i.e. you can do add(0, obj) on empty list), not a valid index to get an element from.

A: Use checkElementIndex
It states:
Ensures that index specifies a valid element in an array, list or string of size size. An element index may range from zero, inclusive, to size, exclusive

A: You can use the twitter-commons implementation of the checkNotBlank method. it validates that an Iterable is not null and not empty. here is the implementation:
/**
* Checks that an Iterable is both non-null and non-empty. This method does not check individual
* elements in the Iterable, it just checks that the Iterable has at least one element.
*
* @param argument the argument to validate
* @param message the message template for validation exception messages where %s serves as the
* sole argument placeholder
* @param args any arguments needed by the message template
* @return the argument if it is valid
* @throws NullPointerException if the argument is null
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if the argument has no iterable elements
*/
public static <S, T extends Iterable<S>> T checkNotBlank(T argument, String message,
      Object... args) {
  Preconditions.checkNotNull(argument, message, args);
  Preconditions.checkArgument(!Iterables.isEmpty(argument), message, args);
  return argument;
}

Very simple and works on all iterables.

A: You can use valid4j with hamcrest-matchers instead (found on Maven Central as org.valid4j:valid4j)
For preconditions and postconditions (basically assertions -> throwing AssertionError):
import static org.valid4j.Assertive.*;

require(list, hasSize(greaterThan(0)));

Or for input validation (throwing your custom recoverable exception):
import static org.valid4j.Validation.*;

validate(list, hasSize(greaterThan(0)), otherwiseThrowing(EmptyListException.class));

Meet capsaicin. Although it's found in tiny amounts in oregano, cinnamon, and even cilantro, it is popularly know for being the main active ingredient in peppers of the genus Capsicum (i.e. cayenne pepper). In fact, it is the ingredient that gives you that burning sensation when eating hot peppers. It's not just a culinary seasoning, though. Amongst many other roles, capsaicin is a digestive aid and a decongestant.
Who would'nt benefit from a digestive aid this holiday season? Capsaicin improves digestive health in many ways. It stimulates stomach activity and normal flow of digestive juices. Capsaicin also prevents excessive acid secretion and actually stimulates alkali secretion to help prevent or even heal gastric ulcers.
Capsaicin also makes the intestine more permeable to nutrients so that more nutrients are absorbed. Capsaicin can even modestly boost metabolism. Numerous research studies show that it's attractive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are well-established.
Capsaicin can also help you fight the cold weather this winter. It offers relief from sore throats, congestion, and colds. Your body may respond to a simple tea made from capsaicin. All you need is about half a teaspoon of powdered cayenne pepper, a cup of boiling water, and some determination to drink this tea about 3 times a day.
Let the tea cool and gargle it for sore throat relief.
Don't limit yourself to cayenne peppers, though. There are a vareity of nutrient-packed peppers you can include in your diet fresh or pickled for the winter. Their rich in vitamin C, potassium, and even B vitamins for normal energy production.
Try poblano, serrano, jalapeno, or habanero peppers in different recipes, such as guacamole.

Bute and Pascal will fight on January 18th. Can the winner earn a world title tilt later this year?
"I might retire Lucian Bute".
That is a strong proclamation ahead of the January 18th show-down between Jean Pascal and the afore mentioned Lucian Bute, but Pascal is extremely confident that this is his moment to propel himself right back into championship contention.
These two Canadian fighters are set to meet in a HBO televised bout from Montreal in just over a week, the biggest fight in their home country's history, and for one of them it may be the last time we see them in a boxing ring, it is a real sink or swim moment.
Bute, coming off the back of a ragged twelve round decision over previously unbeaten Denis Grachev, was quite simply destroyed by Carl Froch in their Super Middleweight clash back in May 2012 and ever since there has been serious questions about his punch resistance. Is a move to Light Heavyweight likely to help his suspect whiskers?
On the other hand there is Jean Pascal. There are no question marks about his ability to take a punch, see his fight with Carl Froch for proof, but more than once his stamina has been called in for discussion, if he is unable to bomb out Bute like Froch did then will he be able to handle the pace of a full twelve rounds?. Then there is the small detail of the shoulder injury that side-lined Pascal for an extended period of time, could that be a factor in a fight where he will be required to throw a lot of punches to pick up the victory?
Pascal's finest hour came when he ripped the WBC Light Heavyweight crown from Chad Dawson in 2010 but his two fight series with Bernard Hopkins (one drawn, one defeat) show that the Haitian-born fighter can be frustrated and he does have a tendency to just walk forward, taking unnecessary punches and punishment.
That flaw in Pascal's game could potentially present an opportunity for Bute, if he is on form, because the Canadian-Romanian does possess a sharp jab, neat boxing skills, and the power to make Pascal think twice should he take too many liberties. Bute is the taller man but there is not much difference in their reach, he has to win the battle of the jabs and survive the first five rounds to give himself any chance of victory. Dragging Pascal into the deep waters of the championship rounds could prove very effective.
But Pascal is powerhouse of a fighter and he will have studied the tapes of Bute's famous demise in Nottingham, he knows that the career Super-Middleweight can be bullied and harassed to the point where his guard lowers and he is open to devastating punches. If Pascal is on Bute for the get-go, not affording him any space, then the result could be very similar to Bute's defeat against Carl Froch and I would be surprised if he came back from another one-sided beating.
The inactivity of both fighters means that neither holds a particular advantage over the other, Pascal has fought just twice since losing to Hopkins in 2011, a ten round UD over Aleksy Kuziemski in 2012 and a fifth round knockout over George Blades in September last year, and Lucian Bute was last in action back in November 2012, an injury forced him to postpone this fight by a few months, so ring rust could lead to a very slow, ponderous, opening from both fighters. We boxing fans certainly hope that is not the case.
The prize for the winner? The Light Heavyweight division is filled full of talent but the main target for both of these fighters will be another all Canadian show-down with the man of the moment, WBC boss, Adonis Stevenson. Stevenson has a big fanbase in Canada, growing with each knockout, and HBO are high on him right now which means big money fights are a definite. Everyone wants to see Stevenson and WBO Champ, Sergey Kovalev clash in a mouth-watering, titanic tussle of the power-punchers but if that is not possible then surely the winner of Bute-Pascal will be a shoe-in. Stevenson is 36 years old and looking to make some big money before the end of his career, a fight with either of these two will guarantee him a lucrative purse in a fight that he would be confident of winning.
If Pascal wins then he may also look for revenge against Bernard Hopkins, granted it won't be a thrill-a-minute fight but it gives Pascal the chance to right the wrongs of three years ago whilst also getting a world belt for bargaining power. There is also WBA Champion, Beibut Shumenov who will be looking for more serious tests in 2014 to prove he belongs at the top of this weight division.
If Bute is victorious then it will be interesting to see whether he stays at 175 pounds, those who question his chin would advise he steers clear of Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev, or whether he moves back down to Super Middleweight to seek retribution against Froch or perhaps another beltholder, he already holds a win over WBC Champion, Sakio Bika, so that could be his next port of call.
It really is a cross-roads fight for both competitors and a really intriguing bout that could shape the championship landscape at 175 in the coming months. Hopefully the first of many big boxing events of 2014.
Fight prediction: Perhaps a slow first round but Pascal will come out swinging from round two onwards. Bute will try to box off the back foot and it may prove successful for a time, his power may even score him a knockdown, but I expect Pascal to catch up with him around the midway stage and the referee to call a halt to proceedings between rounds 6-7.
The co-feature fight promises fireworks in the Heavyweight division as the Irish-Cuban, undefeated, Mike "The Rebel" Perez will go up against hard-hitting Carlos Takam. This fight has "slobber knocker" written all over it but Perez' superior boxing skills show allow him to prove elusive when the time calls for it and pick his shots better. Takam can punch but he hasn't fought anyone on this level as of yet, it will be interesting to see whether he can rise to the occasion. I predict Perez to pick up a late stoppage and move himself into the WBC Championship mix later in 2014.
All in all it should be a great night of action in the Bell Centre, Montreal. Boxing is back with a bang in the new year.


LASIK eye surgery can sound complicated at first, and if you live in New York City, chances are you're a busy person and don't have time to learn the ins and outs on your own. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place to get all of the important information quickly and easily? Lucky for you, that's exactly what we aim to do here!
First, What Exactly Is LASIK Eye Surgery?
LASIK is a surgical procedure that aims to improve eyesight. Your LASIK surgeon achieves this by correcting your "refractive errors". When you have a refractive error, it means that your cornea is misshapen, causing light to focus improperly onto the retina. This, in turn, causes blurry vision.
Common refractive errors include nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Another refractive error, called presbyopia, occurs due to a loss of elasticity by the eye's lens and is related to age, and cannot be treated with LASIK.
The basic goal of LASIK is to reshape the cornea to correct your refractive error, thus allowing light to focus properly.
First, a circular corneal flap is carefully made on the surface of the eye, either using a highly specialized blade, or a laser called a "femtosecond laser". With the flap pulled back, an excimer laser is used to carefully reshape the cornea, either making it flatter or steeper depending on your needs. The flap is smoothed over and you are sent on your way after some rest. Bear in mind, you won't be able to drive yourself. Make sure to bring someone that can drive you home.
The entire procedure takes less than 30 minutes, including rest time, assuming you are having both eyes corrected. It is virtually pain-free due to anesthetic eye drops, though you may feel an uncomfortable pressure while the flap is being created.
The things you're responsible for can be divided into two categories: before the operation and after the operation.
You will go through a comprehensive eye examination to determine what exactly needs to be done in order to improve your vision.
You will be asked to refrain from wearing contacts for several weeks before the exam (depending on the softness of the contacts), as these can affect the shape of your cornea. You will also need to forgo any makeup, perfumes, lotions, or any other topical face applications. This will help prevent infection, as your eye will be very sensitive after surgery.
As mentioned above, you will need to arrange a ride home.
Expect your vision to be blurry immediately after surgery. For some people, vision is noticeably improved after surgery, but still blurry. This should improve rapidly. As the numbing eye drops wear off, you may feel some irritation and discomfort. We recommend taking a nap right after surgery and using lubricating eye drops as needed.
You will need to be very careful as to not hit, rub or otherwise touch your eyes during the healing process. This can significantly hinder the healing process, and make you more prone to complication and infection. Be sure to follow all aftercare instructions as laid out by your LASIK surgeon.
You will attend several post-op checkups to make sure that your recovery is progressing normally. If you ever experience any severe pain, long-lasting visual disturbances or anything else deemed out of the ordinary, contact your eye doctor right away.
Dr. Ken Moadel and his team of eye care specialists are devoted to giving you the sight you deserve. Set up a LASIK consultation at our NYC office today to get more details on the surgery that could improve your vision!

In the year 1906 Hermosa Beach's first election for city officers was held. In 1907 the city received its Charter from the state of California and it was also in this year that 44 Strand came to life. If these walls could speak they would tell the story of seven generations of family who have lived in this home. Its occupants served as city attorney, municipal judge and owner/director of the Sand Castle Pre-School. Though the city landscape around it has a vastly different look, this home still lies directly in front of the boundless Pacific Ocean. The opportunity for a new owner to carry on the legacy of 44 Strand is now available. Nestled between the Hermosa Beach Pier and the Redondo Beach Marina, with 45' of ocean frontage, its distinction and caliber can only be truly appreciated in person. Currently used as rental property, this South Hermosa Beach duplex (zoned R3) offers its new investor a lot & a half upon which to build your dream home, option to build two units or the opportunity to remodel the existing property and manage rentals along The Strand – where units command the highest rental rates in the South Bay.

World's Fastest Academic Supercomputer Unveiled in Texas
The Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University of Texas at Austin unveiled Frontera—the fastest supercomputer at any university and the fifth most powerful supercomputing system in the world.
Funded through a $60 million award from the National Science Foundation and officially launched Tuesday, the system will support U.S. and international research teams as they work to solve some of the world's most massive advanced computational challenges.
"The system itself is a remarkable system," John West, TACC's director of strategic initiatives and co-principal investigator on Frontera, told Nextgov. "It's an incredible opportunity for open science to have access to a resource at this scale so that investment by the National Science Foundation is going to be incredibly important for discovery and innovation going forward."
West, who previously led the Defense Department's high-performance computing modernization program and was once responsible for supercomputing research and development across the agency's enterprise, explained that NSF works with a variety of cyber-infrastructure providers across the country because running such state-of-the-art systems is incredibly resourced and facility intensive. It also requires a great deal of floor space and immense amounts of power and cooling.
TACC already has several large-scale computing systems—including the 19th fastest system in the world, Stampede2—that solve a variety of highly complex computational jobs. But Frontera— Spanish for "frontier" and an allusion to the title of a 1945 report to President Harry Truman that led to the creation of NSF—will power even more cutting-edge discoveries.
"Frontera is different," West said. "Its audience is really those scientists that need the most capable computational resources, so it will run less of a mix of jobs, focusing instead on scientists at the very tip of computational capability that we can provide today."
Through a solicitation first awarded in 2018, the system aims to act as a resource not just to UT students but to the entire open science community, meeting the needs of some of the most massive science and engineering computational experiments that need to be performed. West and his team at TACC have been constructing the system all year. The system will operate for at least five years and in that time it will likely be used by thousands of researchers across nearly all fields of science.
"The focus is on supporting the entire research enterprise so it is across all the scientific disciplines," West said. "And this is not just a UT resource, this is a resource for scientists all over the world to use."
Those who want to run research on the system—and who can prove that they require a computer at Frontera's scale to solve their problems—will be selected to use it through a competitive application process. The gigantic machines are fairly specialized to run and are highly complex in their analysis and applications, so TACC has specialists on hand to support researchers who will work directly with it. Faculty from the university's Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, with partners from other schools including the California Institute of Technology, Ohio State University, Princeton University, the University of Chicago, the University of Utah and others will lead Frontera's science applications and technology team.
"The idea here is not only provide the machine but provide the expertise that science needs to make use of the machine," he said.

IRS Warns of New Imposter Scam That Spreads Malware
Online bad actors are impersonating tax collectors to spread malware and potentially gain access to people's computers, according to the IRS.
Last week, agency officials warned taxpayers to watch out for a new phishing campaign involving fraudsters disguised as IRS agents. The agency does not send taxpayers emails out of the blue, they said, so all unsolicited messages should be viewed with suspicion.
As part of the scam, imposters send taxpayers emails claiming to contain information about their refunds, electronic returns or online accounts, according to agency officials. The emails include links to websites that closely resemble IRS.gov, as well as temporary passwords that supposedly allow recipients to access their relevant files.
When people access those files, however, they release malware that could allow fraudsters to gain control of users' computer or covertly download spyware that obtains sensitive passwords and accounts. The scam relies on dozens of spoofed web addresses, which makes difficult to shut down, officials said.
Officials noted the IRS doesn't request personal or financial information—including PINs, passwords or other account credentials—from taxpayers through email, text message or social media. The agency also doesn't contact people demanding immediate payment through gift cards, prepaid debit cards or wire transfers, they said, so taxpayers should be wary of any such attempts.
While the agency has made significant strides in reducing taxpayer identity theft in recent years, officials said phone and email scams by IRS imposters still pose a significant threat to taxpayers.
"This latest scheme is yet another reminder that tax scams are a year-round business for thieves," IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a statement. "We urge you to be on-guard at all times."

Essential Advice on Choosing a Top Notch Consultant
Too many small-business people aren't willing to ask for help when they need it. Entrepreneurs by nature tend to be independent risk-takers. They started the company and it is their baby. Obviously, they should know how to raise it.
These 6 Principles Helped Navy Federal Deliver Superior Customer Experience
Navy Federal Credit Union continually receives accolades for the top-notch customer experience it provides its more than 8 million members, most recently ranking as the top multi-channel bank or credit union in Forrester's Customer Experience Index.
But the credit union's customer experience strategy is not particularly complex, according to
Ryan Fairley, assistant vice president of Omni Channel Strategy and Innovation at Navy Federal. Speaking Aug. 15 at Nextgov's Digital Citizen Summit, Fairley said the credit union instead bases member-focused decisions on six customer experience principles.
Developed in-house and in concert with its chief executive officer, Fairley said the principles "really are our anchor point for everything we do."
Show me you know me. Fairley said there is no excuse nowadays for not knowing who customers are and differentiating services based on their unique needs. "Data is king," Fairley said. "We have a lot of data on members, and they expect that we will understand why they came here today and know what they need."
Keep it simple. There are so many tech platforms and shiny objects organizations and agencies can buy, but Fairley said simplicity is key. For example, Navy Federal revamped its mobile application two years ago—a major effort considering it handles 100 million logins per month. The credit union went through 17 rounds of focus group and iterative development before it finalized tweaks to the app, ensuring users—and not necessarily stakeholders—had their voices heard. Fairley said Navy Federal reorganized the 178 things users can do in the app based on their feedback, moving some up the hierarchy and some down. The end result? Fairley said some app features saw usage uptick rates of more than 400% in the new app.
Do it for me. The less users have to worry about, the better. Fairley said technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics give organizations opportunities to perform better services for customers. "This has become more of an aspirational experience principle," Fairley said. "There are more and more things we should be able to do for you."
Tell me what's next. When users come to the credit union with an issue, the last thing they want is more uncertainty or confusion, Fairley said. Whether users are engaging with people in person or an application, they need to know what's next. "Don't make me guess, don't make me come back, don't make me have a second contact," Fairley said. "The first contact resolution is important in telling users what's next"
Help me feel secure and in control. Navy Federal users check on their money an average of 27 times per month, and Fairley said it goes without saying that they should be able to do so safely and securely. But security isn't as much a given as it should be, and the recent Capital One breach is evidence of that. "We've seen headlines recently of things that can compromise people's sense of feeling in control," Fairley said.
Tech should be as friendly as people. Navy Federal has an 85-year history as a member services organization, and for the vast majority of those years, customers engaged the credit union in person. Technology has changed that. Now, 20 percent of its users interact with Navy Federal exclusively through digital channels, foregoing the human quotient in favor of technological ease of use. "How do we create the same connection to our brand if they only touch us through our technology?" Fairley said. "Anybody who has worked with our member service reps walk away feeling that much stronger of a connection to us. It's a real challenge we put on ourselves to think about making our technology as friendly as our people."

8 Cyber Security Best Practices For Your Small To Medium-Size Business
8 Cyber Security Best Practices for Business
It's easy to think that because you have a small business, cybercriminals will pass over attacking your company. The "not much to steal" mindset is common with small business owners in regards to cyber security, but it is also completely incorrect and out of sync with today's cyber security best practices.
In reality, the U.S. Congressional Small Business Committee found that 71 percent of cyber-attacks happened at businesses with less than 100 employees. Even more concerning, the 2016 State of SMB CyberSecurity Report by Ponemon and @Keeperfound that 50 percent of SMBs have had a security breach in the past year.
But why are small businesses attacked more often than larger businesses? Almost all cyber-attacks are to obtain personal data to use in credit card or identify theft. While larger enterprises typically have more data to steal, small businesses have less secure networks, making it easier to breach the network. CSO.com by IDG's article "Why criminals pick on small businesses" says that by using automated attacks, cybercriminals can breach thousands or more small businesses, making the size less of an issue than the network security.
The CSO.com article says that lack of time, budget and expertise for proper security is a top reason for the high rate of SMB attacks. Other reasons include not having an IT security specialist, not being aware of the risk, lack of employee training, not updating security programs, outsourcing security and failure to secure endpoints.
How can your business avoid being a victim of a cyber-attack? Here are 8 cyber security best practices for business you can begin to implement today.
1. Use a firewall
One of the first lines of defense in a cyber-attack is a firewall. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recommends that all SMBs set up a firewall to provide a barrier between your data and cybercriminals. In addition to the standard external firewall, many companies are starting to install internal firewalls to provide additional protection. It's also important that employees working from home install a firewall on their home network as well. Consider providing firewall software and support for home networks to ensure compliance.
2. Document your cybersecurity policies
While small businesses often operate by word of mouth and intuitional knowledge, cyber security is one area where it is essential to document your protocols. The Small Business Administration (SBA)'s Cybersecurity portal provides online training, checklists, and information specific to protect online businesses. The FCC's Cyberplanner 2.0provides a starting point for your security document. Consider also participating in the C3 Voluntary Program for Small Businesses, which contains a detailed toolkit for determining and documenting cyber security best practices and cyber security policies.
3. Plan for mobile devices
With 59 percent of businesses currently allowing BYOD, according to the Tech Pro Research 2016 BYOD, Wearables and IoT: Strategies Security and Satisfaction, it is essential that companies have a documented BYOD policy that focuses on security precautions. With the increasing popularity of wearables, such as smart watches and fitness trackers with wireless capability, it is essential to include these devices in a policy. Norton by Symantec also recommends that small businesses require employees to set up automatic security updates and require that the company's password policy apply to all mobile devices accessing the network.
4. Educate all employees
Employees often wear many hats at SMBs, making it essential that all employees accessing the network be trained on your company's network cyber security best practices and security policies.
Since the policies are evolving as cybercriminals become savvier, it's essential to have regular updates on new protocols. To hold employees accountable, have each employee sign a document stating that they have been informed of the policies and understand that actions may be taken if they do not follow security policies.
5, Enforce safe password practices
Yes, employees find changing passwords to be a pain. However, the Verizon 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 63 percent of data breaches happened due to lost, stolen or weak passwords. According to the Keeper Security and Ponemon Institute Report, 65 percent of SMBs with password policies do not enforce it. In today's BYOD world, it's essential that all employee devices accessing the company network be password protected.
In the Business Daily article "Cybersecurity: A Small Business Guide," Bill Carey, vice president of marketing and business development at Siber Systems, recommended that employees be required to use passwords with upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. He says that SMBs should require all passwords to be changed every 60 to 90 days.
6. Regularly back up all data
While it's important to prevent as many attacks as possible, it is still possible to be breached regardless of your precautions. The SBA recommends backing up word processing documents, electronic spreadsheets, databases, financial files, human resources files, and accounts receivable/payable files. Be sure to also back up all data stored on the cloud. Make sure that backups are stored in a separate location in case of fire or flood. To ensure that you will have the latest backup if you ever need it, check your backup regularly to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
7. Install anti-malware software
It's easy to assume that your employees know to never open phishing emails. However, the Verizon 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 30 percent of employees opened phishing emails, a 7 percent increase from 2015. Since phishing attacks involve installing malware on the employee's computer when the link is clicked, it's essential to have anti-malware software installed on all devices and the network. Since phishing attacks often target specific SMB employee roles, use the position-specific tactics outlined in the Entreprenuer.com article "5 Types of Employees Often Targeted by Phishing Attacks" as part of your training.
8. Use multifactor identification
Regardless of your preparation, an employee will likely make a security mistake that can compromise your data. In the PC Week article "10 Cyber Security Steps Your Small Business Should Take Right Now," Matt Littleton, East Regional Director of Cybersecurity and Azure Infrastructure Services at Microsoft, says using the multi-factor identification settings on most major network and email products is simple to do and provides an extra layer of protection. He recommends using employees' cell numbers as a second form, since it is unlikely a thief will have both the PIN and the password.
Security is a moving target. The cyber criminals get more advanced every day. In order to protect your data as much as possible, it's essential that each and every employee make cyber security a top priority. And most importantly, that you stay on top of the latest trends for attacks and newest prevention technology. Your business depends on it.

Pakistani immigrant accused of trying to join terrorists in Syria
By Richard A. Serrano
Nov. 12, 2013 9:14 PM PT
WASHINGTON — The undercover FBI informant warned Pakistani immigrant Basit Javed Sheikh that it was not too late to back out. "You don't have to do it," he told Sheikh in a private Facebook message Oct. 17.
But Sheikh, 29, a permanent U.S. resident living in central North Carolina, was adamant, according to a federal affidavit, telling the informant: "I'm serious" and "Akhi Wallahi!" — Arabic for "Brother, I swear to God!"
Now Sheikh is under arrest on allegations of attempting to reach Syria to provide material support to Al Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda-affiliated group in Iraq that the U.S. deems a terrorist organization.
He was detained Nov. 2 as he arrived at the Raleigh-Durham airport carrying a boarding pass and a one-way ticket. He checked his luggage, cleared two security checkpoints and was about to reach the gate when he was arrested.
A federal grand jury indicted him Nov. 4, and the charges were unsealed Tuesday. The resident of Cary, N.C., is the latest in a string of young men living in the U.S. who have been arrested for trying to join terrorist groups in Syria's civil war.
In August, Gufran Ahmed Kauser Mohammed, a naturalized U.S. citizen, and Mohamed Hussein Said, a Kenyan, were indicted in South Florida on allegations of conspiring to provide money and recruits for Al Nusra. In September, U.S. Army veteran Eric Harroun agreed to a secret plea deal in Virginia after returning from Syria, where he fought alongside Al Qaeda affiliates.
Sheikh's activities were unusually brazen — or foolish — because he communicated regularly for weeks through Facebook private messages with two FBI undercover operatives. His postings allegedly included links to a YouTube video of Muslims being invited to fight in Syria, and a photo of a woman in a burka aiming a rifle. "British women are joining the jihad in Syria," the caption read.
According to the indictment, Sheikh planned to fly to Lebanon and wanted assistance from the undercover agents in getting across the border into Syria. He tried to sell his car to raise money, the charges state, and had acquired heavy work boots and a sleeping bag. He was shopping for a backpack.
He allegedly told an informant that he wanted to "help the mujahedin" any way that he could. He faces up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The Al Nusra group has claimed responsibility for nearly 600 attacks in Syria, many of which have killed numerous civilians.
Sheikh's Facebook messages began in April, the affidavit says, and by September he was deeply involved with the two undercover agents. Asked how he wanted to help the terrorist group, Sheikh allegedly responded that he would provide logistics, assist in drawing media attention to the cause and "fight too, God willing." He allegedly said he would feel like a hypocrite if he did not join a jihad in Syria.
But he also expressed disappointment that he could not borrow funds from a sister, and worried that he would miss his parents.
To prove his resolve, he emailed a photograph of himself to one of the agents. When he did not hear back quickly enough, he complained, prompting the undercover agent to ask whether Sheikh was being overly anxious. "Heck yeah," Sheikh reportedly responded.

On 24 September 2014 Queenspark Books unveiled its 104th book at Brighton's Jubilee Library. A beautifully edited compendium of writing, memories, oral histories, design and photography, it chronicles the lives and experiences of Brighton & Hove's Transgender community.
Supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund, Brighton Trans*formed features, in their own words, the rich variety of Trans lives in Brighton & Hove today.
Brighton & Hove is a place where trans people are increasingly seen and heard, understood and respected, and Brighton Trans*formed shows how far we've come, and how far there is to go. Juliet Jacques.
Trans identities are often neglected, re-written or even erased from formal histories. Brighton Trans*formed preserves previously untold stories for future generations, and is a much needed exploration into the diversity of gender expression within the city.
From young to old, many people question their gender identity, but often have no role models to turn to. This book is important, because if for no other reason, it says, "we were here". Rory Finn.

Welcome Selena Kitt!
I'm thrilled to welcome today's guest of honour, erotic romance author Selena Kitt - no stranger to retold fairytales! Welcome Selena!
In Search of Happily Ever After by Selena Kitt
Why do fairy tales stand the test of time? There are hundreds—thousands, perhaps millions!—of stories that have been told and forgotten throughout the years. So why is it that stories like Little Red Riding Hood or The Three Little Pigs have survived, not just in our literature, but in our psyches? These are tales that have been immortalized, passed down like heirlooms to new generations, again and again. Disney, of course, is our modern vehicle, re-telling tales like SleepingBeauty or Cinderella in full color, animated form.
But fairy tales don't just appeal to children. In fact, there was a time when the intended audience for fairy tales was quite adult. Disney has cleaned up their versions for a younger audience, taking out the violence and the sex, but those themes have existed in our fairy tales for far longer than they've been sanitized. These are themes that go to the core of our being, that we wrestle with daily, that touch the deepest aspects of our lives. We keep our children "young" far longer today than we ever have before, attempting to shelter them from the harsh realities depicted so often in those long-ago fairy tales. We prefer our children to stay innocent because we adults know the extent to which our modern world can corrupt.
But fairy tales are coming finally into their own in today's world. Recent retellings—Alice in Wonderland, Beastly, Mirror-Mirror—have brought fairy tales to the forefront. Some have even turned fairy tales on their head, telling them from the villains' side, as in Wicked or the upcoming Malificent. Even television has gotten into the act with series like Once Upon a Time and Grimm. Fairy tales are morphing, changing before our very eyes, adapting to the modern world in which we live.
The time has come for the fairy tale, for their telling to circle back to their original audience—the time has come for the grown-up fairy tale.
The days of princesses waiting in their castles for their rescuing prince are over—but our search for our happily ever after is not. The basics never change, and the universal themes of fairy tales always come through. That's what appeals to me as a writer. Injustice, corruption, fear, hatred, greed—they never change. But goodness, kindness, generosity, ethics and love—those never change either. Fairy tales are stories of good vs. evil, indifference vs. love, and in the end, we are always searching for one to conquer the other. And we all know which should win out in the end. We all know, even if the world doesn't always give us what we want—fairy tales will.
In the modern versions of fairy tales I've attempted to re-tell so far—including Gretel, Red, Beauty, Goldilocks, Briar Rose, Rapunzel, Alice and Wendy—the focus in each is on our modern heroine, not a princess locked in a castle, not willing to passively wait for her rescue—but still longing, as always, for her happily ever after. Villains no longer come in the form of dragons or trolls. The enemies we fight in the modern world are less visible, but are just as difficult to vanquish—things like cancer and betrayal by the ones we love most. These are modern fairy tales that take place in the modern world, and they have modern characters, situations, and consequences, but they re-tell familiar tales with universal themes.
Today I am offering my latest re-told modern fairy tale to one lucky winner—Bluebeard—which is the first of a new volume in the Modern Wicked Fairy Tales series that will focus on the masculine rather that the feminine, and which will include Bluebeard, Pinocchio, Aladdin, Pied Piper, Rumpelstiltskin, Peter and the Wolf, The Frog Prince and Jack and the Beanstalk. Look for these new releases in 2013!
For now you can read ALL of the collected fairy tales (aside from Bluebeard) in Modern Wicked Fairy Tales: The Complete Collection. And if you are a lover of fairy tales and would like to read my modern take on Bluebeard, leave a comment below telling me what it is that appeals you about fairy tales. I will choose one lucky winner!
Just a word of warning: my stories bring back the sex—and in some instances, even the violence—to fairy tales. They are told in modern language, and they give us a view of the universal themes that existed then, and now. But of course, as in all fairy tales—things always come out all right in the end!

Excerpt from Bluebeard:
In this modern version of the fairy tale classic, who wouldn't want to marry a rock star? That's what Petra told herself when she agreed to fly from Minsk to Los Angeles—a mail-order bride to the lead singer of Bluebeard, one of the most popular American rock bands of the twentieth century. The question really was—why would a rock star want to marry her? Find out in this modern take on the Bluebeard fairy tale by Selena Kitt!
Warnings: This title contains elements of BDSM including domination, submission and spanking. It also makes mention of sex, drugs, rock and roll, masturbation, German philisophers, Hindu goddesses, and an incorrigible pug dog who likes to steal things, including your heart!
Cheryl, Manic Readers Reviews, 4/5 Stars!
"...[A] really spicy read. I have read several books by Ms. Kitt, and they are always good. Warning, if you wear eye glasses, you may want to keep a rag handy to wipe off the fog you will get from reading this book...[The characters] were smoking together. This book will have you looking at fairy tales in a whole new light."
Blue leaned in close, whispering into her ear. "Guess what?"
"What?" She looked up at him, inquisitive, his presence making her already racing heart skip beats, fighting the urge to put her arms around him.
"I gave Max and Mrs. Ribya the day off." Blue slipped his arms around her waist, lifting her, breathing in her scent.
She gasped, crying out in surprise at his touch. "You did? Why?"
"Because you've been a very, very bad girl." He nuzzled her neck, his hands moving lower, oh god, grabbing her ass, lifting her higher! "And you need to be punished."
"Blue!" She cried out as he squatted down, easily hefting her over his shoulder. She squealed all the way down the hall, wiggling on his arms. "What are you doing? Put me down? Milyi!"
The poor little pug was only one left in the house she could call for help!
"He's locked in your room, remember?" Blue smacked her ass—hard! "By the way, he dropped the key under the dining room table."
"How did you…?" But of course he knew. Her heart sank. The cameras. They were everywhere. And Max. Had he been watching? Oh god, he would have told Blue everything. "Please, put me down. Let me explain."
"Stop talking."
She cried out again. He was angry—an emotion she didn't often see in him. She could tell by the way he strode down the hall, her body bouncing as he carried her down the stairs. "I'm going to give you one more chance to do as I say."
One more chance. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes, praying he was taking her to his bedroom. Oh, god, his unlocked bedroom. He knew she'd been in there too. And were there cameras…? No!
"You're familiar with this room, aren't you?"
Her eyes flew open as she twisted, trying to see. He strode through the carved door, slamming it hard behind him. Was this it, then? Would she be one of those mail-order brides murdered by their American husbands?
"Blue, please," she begged. My god, he'd her carried across the whole house, down a flight of stairs, and he hadn't even broken a sweat!
Then he was opening the second the door, the one she hadn't unlocked. He didn't use a key. She saw it all upside down, making it even more surreal. There was a bed in the corner, similar to the one in his room, a four-poster. Over the bed there were decorations on the wall, things reminiscent of his concert days—floggers, crops, ball-gags, handcuffs.
Then he was sitting, putting her upright in front of him, pulling her into his lap. Her head swam and she clung to him, so surprised by his nearness, the way he grabbed her, touched her, after months of so much distance between them.
"Where are we?" she whispered, wanting to look around more, but unable to take her eyes off his. They were dark, animalistic—and angry. She wiggled in his lap and he grabbed her hips, growling low in his throat.
"Hold still," he hissed. "Don't make me tear this dress off you."
The blood drained from her face, heading straight between her thighs.

Selena, you've hit the nail on the head with your usual eloquence. The reason fairy tales stand the test of time has never been explained so well. I wrote my erotic versions of Alice in Wonderland and Red Riding Hood because of the powerful imagination behind those worlds. Your amazing works have been humbling, and I hope to one day come close to mastering the skill of storytelling as well as you have done.
~Liz Adams, the girl who's crossing her fingers to get Bluebeard
Ursula 15 November 2012 at 11:17
I think for me at the heart of it, its the HEA. Although I much prefer the more adult versions of them. I have been addicted to your versions of the adult fairy tales. I am looking forward to getting my hands on Bluebeard.

Fairy tale are fantasy, a way for people to leave their lives and reality behind for a little while and there's always a HEA, whereas in life, not so much. Bluebeard sounds fantastic.

Fairy tales? I always wished they were the dark, sensual kind, rather than the vanilla, Disney versions. I wanted to know what "happily ever after" meant that night!
Marie Treanor 15 November 2012 at 12:07
Good to hear all the things you like about fairytales!
Selena, great to have you here today! Sounds like you have lots more fairytales in the pipeline, which is good to know! Are you working on anything else just now, or have fairytales taken over the world? :)
Selena Kitt 15 November 2012 at 12:19
I've got several series rounding out this year, including a taboo one (tsk tsk), my Power Play series (Emily and the Priest; Kelsey and the Executive; Katie and the Dom are all out now) and a naughty Girls Only series. Fairy tales will be released in 2013, and I have a three-part sequel to Under Mr. Nolan's Bed (my most requested for a sequel) that I'm trying to decide whether or not to place with an agent or self-pub. We shall see! :)
Busy girl! Variety is the spice of life :). Good luck with them all!
mcv 15 November 2012 at 16:05
I loved fairy tales as a child and as an adult I adore the erotic versions! I can't wait to read your Bluebeard version. I don't believe I read it as a child and I really don't know much about the original story except that Bluebeard had many wives who he may have murdered.

I like the little twists in real fairy tales. I do not really like the Disney versikn of fairy tales. They are too perfectly 'happy'. Can't wait to read your new fairy tales! Thanks

"What is it that appeals to you about fairy tales?"
I think it's the way they strike at all the universal and primal needs and fears--the fear of death, the unknown, the stranger among us; the desire for love, family, a place in the community. Mix that with something as powerful as sex, and BOOM! :)
Tameka 15 November 2012 at 17:50
With fairytales I love how good triumphs over evil. Something bad always happens to the hero or heroine and they must overcome the obstacle to achieve there happy ending. I just love it. Lol

Many years ago, make that back in the early 1980s, I started taking my writing seriously after having a small article published in The Upper Room, a United Methodist devotional magazine. One of the early lessons I learned then was this: many folks either shrugged at my desire to become a writer, or thought I was lazy when I decided to launch out on my own and try my hand at it full-time. Fortunately, some of my early writing teachers had taught me to expect this reaction. Had it not been for their warnings, I might have become discouraged and quit. Writing, I discovered very quickly, is a lonely and hard business.
I think one reason why the average person doesn't understand the work involved is because when they see it in print, good writing looks easy. Oh, but quite the opposite is true. The easier a published work is to read, the harder its author worked. We writers can't write well if we don't work hard.
Don't let naysayers discourage you from your calling. Our God is good, and He will bring your literary dreams to pass if you continue to believe Him and persist toward your goal.


Pretty short and sweet in the title. Just looking for a clan or group to players to do battles with around the 5- 7 bracket and level up as I am far from league and war ready.
Bit about play and fluff.
This bit I bet few will read as I see a lot of copy and paste clan messages but hay.
I used to play carrier a lot ( Yes one of them players) but manly as a support/ spotting role rather then kill hogger.
I am UK based and time window (19:00 - 24:00 GMT) so players on them times would be great.
Have access to a Mic and am always up for talking to people I'm far from shy.
I have been in clans before for WOT and endless amount of other games through my gaming time and really don't want to go to a international clan ( multi game) where the player base flitters in and out of the game, or just to boost there numbers to look better. But I am open if you can show me otherwise.
Thanks and see you all ingame.
We are a casual clan and we don't ask for 100% commitment.
We understand that sometimes you just want to play alone - and that is fine, and that everyone has a different level of family/life/commitments.
There are usually clan members on at various points through the day, evening and at weekends.
If you would like to know more, just let me know.

Our Enhanced Bali is grown and imported fresh from the Kalimantan, and is carefully enhanced with 98.5% pure, full spectrum alkaloids. This is an enhanced version of the standard Bali kratom and according to research, the aroma is much stronger, acting like a cross between Borneo White Vein and Maeng Da, however it is not a mixture of the two.
excellent…. will be ordering more…. many thanks….. rgds, william k.
Excellent product! Loved it, looking forward to my next order.
This seems pretty good I was relaxed but not to the point of sleepy I still was able to function and get thing done through out my day. I'm curious if I should stay with this one or try a different strain.
Very potent at higher doses (≥5 g). Pleasant and long-lasting with a very smooth and relaxed finish.
Ordered for my brother and he is satisfied. Am ordering Maeng Da aroma to elevate his mood!
I enjoyed this kratom. Definitely a good experience.
Very nice product. Smooth. Pleasant.

We decided to shoot at El Matador State Beach in Malibu. We shot in the morning, a time of day that is usually not good to shoot on the beach due to the overhead sun, but we were lucky and had overcast skies with intermittent sunlight shining thru. I shot this all available light, only using a reflector to pop light in on some shots (thanks to a helpful makeup artist) and I think it really came out hot. There was definite chemistry and electricity between Joey & Lauren, and it's always fun shooting on the beach in California.

The ITV talent contest has had a new series every year since its initiation in 2004, which Steve Brookstein won.
Most years the programme begins in early September and concludes during the first week of December.
However, Celebrity X Factor is like no other and could start earlier or later, depending on the judging process.
Neither ITV or Simon Cowell, who created the show, have announced an exact premiere date for the revamped series.
It's more than likely that Celebrity X Factor will premiere sometime after Britain's Got Talent: The Champions, which kicks off at the end of August.

What changes are there in The X Factor 2019?
Much like Britain's Got Talent, The X Factor is having a huge overhaul, following years of plummeting ratings.
Simon revealed to The Sun's Bizarre Column there would be two series of the ITV competition this year – one starring celebrities and the other an "all star" line-up of former contestants.
He said: "I want to clear up any myths — because I've got some exciting news.
"I've had a meeting with ITV, I've told them what I think we'd like to do with X Factor because we've been waiting to have this opportunity."
The father-of-one added: "I think it's going to be huge, it's the best I've felt about this show in years."

Who will be judging and hosting The X Factor 2019?
Although the official line-up is yet to be revealed, the bookies have been taking bets on which celebs could be cast for this year's judging panel.
After Robbie Williams and Ayda Field, who sat on the judging panel in series 15, quit the bookmakers drew up a list of potential candidates.
Louise Redknapp, Sharon Osbourne, Nile Rodgers and a member of the Spice Girls are all favourites to take a seat on the judging panel.

A Paddy Power spokesman said: "Nile Rodgers found himself covering for Robbie in the past and could be given a permanent deal, and having a Spice Girl on the show will always be a coup in terms of their wealth of pop music experience and, of course, bringing the drama."
For the full list of the bookies early predictions, including Kanye West and Strictly's Darcey Bussell, see here.
In terms of host(s), Dermot O'Leary regularly fronts the ITV contest but given the change in format it is possible his role could go to someone else.
