Masculinity, education and health
Reading 12 min.
The aim of this article is to establish a mirror/dialogue between different perspectives in order to think and contribute to the transformation of the relationship between the construction of masculinity, risk, illness and health, seeking to point towards a salutogenic experience, that is, of care and the promotion of health. It seeks to spark a conversation between the social perspective, the cultural perspective and experience, between quantitative contributions and qualitative experiences. We based our analysis on different sources such as the report Masculinities and Health in the Region of the Americas [1]1 — Pan American Health Organization, Masculinities and Health in the Region of the Americas (Washington DC, 2019). and the Literature, Memory and Identity Workshops, as well as relevant literary sources.
Masculinities and health
Well into the 21st century, it has become increasingly evident that what we know as masculinity is not only quite diverse (leading us to speak of masculinities) but that, on the biological differentiation of the sexes, a series of notions is constructed in each society and time about what men are and should be, often opposed to what is expected of women. Many of these notions become mandates, such as being a provider, being competitive, having the "privilege" of using violence, being heterosexual, and denying human aspects of emotionality.
The list of references that demonstrate that many of these mandates pose a risk to the health of women, children, and men themselves keeps growing. Based on a study for the Pan American Health Organization [2]2 — Ibídem. we can conclude that, without a doubt, men continue to occupy a privileged place in most societies and contexts, but that this brings with it significant health costs (for women and men themselves), beginning with a life expectancy in the Americas of around 5 years less than women (similar to Europe). As the only statistical example, we share this analysis based on the mortality of men during their life cycle.
Men continue to occupy a privileged place in most societies and contexts, but that this brings with it significant health costs for women and men themselves
On an epidemiological level we can find clear references of the way in which hegemonic masculinity generates enormous costs to men's health. Analysis of the main causes of mortality of men during the course of their lives [3]3 — Ibídem. clearly show four sets of health problems: those that have to do with violent deaths (homicides, road and work accidents, drowning, and suicide as a marker of the lack of ability to ask for help in the face of subjective discomfort) [4]4 — Suggested reading in this regard is "El otro yo" [The Alter Ego], by Mario Benedetti, included in La muerte y otras sorpresas [Death and Other Surprises] (1968), which allows us to observe the difficult relationship men have with emotions that are considered non-masculine. , deaths associated with substance abuse (alcohol, other drugs, and half of cirrhosis cases), and HIV/AIDS, which continues to be related to the lack of care in the field of sexuality. This leads to one in five men not reaching the age of 50. Furthermore, we have the presence of men in the deaths of women by homicide and in a large proportion of fatal accidents. The fourth set of causes has to do with chronic degenerative diseases: diabetes, heart problems and strokes. Thus, health stands out as a critical area for analysing hegemonic or dominant masculinity, and for developing transformative solutions.
The construction of gender identity
In the field of health we also have different perspectives or paradigms: subdisciplines such as pathology give a detailed account of the biological damage caused by illness, while medicine focuses primarily on healing and preventing further damage to individual bodies. Public health is concerned with collective processes both in terms of curing and prevention, and collective health denounces the structural social and economic factors that underlie the illness and death of different social groups. But what disciplines bear witness to suffering? To the subjective experience of getting ill, dying or being healthy? Possibly psychology, in its most humanistic or psychoanalytical variants, as well as the sociology of emotion, among others. But there is also philosophy and art, which in the first or third person guide us to this fundamental experience. And it is from this perspective that we want to raise awareness about the health/illness/care process in men, by delving into literature—which excites us, makes us think and allows us to look at ourselves in the mirror of various characters and "experience ourselves" through the stories of others—and autobiographical writing.
Regarding the body, Virginia Woolf writes:
All day, all night the body intervenes; blunts or sharpens, colours or discolours, turns to wax in the warmth of June, hardens to tallow in the murk of February. The creature within can only gaze through the pane—smudged or rosy; it cannot separate off from the body like the sheath of a knife or the pod of a pea for a single instant; it must go through the whole unending procession of changes, heat and cold, comfort and discomfort, hunger and satisfaction, health and illness, until there comes the inevitable catastrophe; the body smashes itself to smithereens, and the soul (it is said) escapes. But of all this daily drama of the body there is no record.
Virginia Woolf, On Being Ill (London: Hogarth Press, 1930).
Woolf wrote this in 1925, soon after Thomas Mann published The Magic Mountain (1924). Much later, Solzhenitsyn adopted a similar perspective in Cancer Ward (1960).
In literature, there are a multiplicity of texts that describe the types of behaviours that affect people's physical, mental and social health and well-being
Regarding the power of writing, writer Juan José Millás, in his book El mundo [The World], mentions:
My father boasted about having been the first to manufacture an electric scalpel in Spain, although he probably stole the idea from a foreign publication. I remember seeing him bent over the table in the workshop, making cuts in a beef fillet, amazed by the precision and neatness of the cut. I will never forget the moment when he turned to me, feeling a little scared while watching him, to pronounce that foundational phrase: "Look, Juanjo, it cauterises the wound at the same time it produces it." When I write by hand, on a notebook, as I am doing now, I think I look a bit like my father in the act of testing the electric scalpel, seeing as writing opens and cauterizes wounds simultaneously.
Juan José Millás, El mundo (Ciudad de Mexico: Planeta, 2008).
Now, what differences have been found between women and men in relation to their health? How does the gender mandate affect men's health, specifically? In the first place, we find that possess a greater willingness to remember, write and share their experiences, which is the process we propose as a way to generate greater awareness of where and how gender identity manifests itself. This is demonstrated in the number of men who attend the workshops (40% compared to 60% women), and in the fact that only 20% of them stay until the end. Another fundamental difference is that the abilities to access emotions are more developed in women; they allow themselves to express them more openly. It is more difficult for men to break the resistance to access, delve into, write about and share their emotions, as well as to identify the ways in which the established power discourses shape them. Restraining emotions and feelings is normalised. However, the ability to express emotions becomes possible for almost all of the men who complete the workshop.
What can be observed regarding the behaviour manifested in men's writings that deal with the risk of suffering traumatic events due to the "mandates of patriarchal masculinity" is expressed, above all, in the exercising of physical violence as a way to "resolve" conflicts, as well as containing emotions that make them seem "weak" or "fragile", which in many cases can cause the development of insecurities, complexes, fears and anger. Also in the way they relate to their peers, competing and degrading each other with nicknames based on their physical appearance (corpulence), skin colour, economic, social and cultural stratum, and in a degrading, misogynistic and homophobic manner if they display "effeminate" behaviours. And, furthermore, in the internalisation of their relationships with figures of authority, structure and masculine role models, as occurs with uncles, grandfathers and fathers. In literature, there are a multiplicity of texts that describe the types of behaviours that affect people's physical, mental and social health and well-being. We focus on a few in order to identify them and reflect on how they are experienced, and how they affect people in different ways. We use stories and fragments of texts by authors such as Juan Villoro, Javier Marías, José Agustín, Javier Cercas and Enrique Serna, among other literary texts from the perspectives of both men and women, as an exercise in the appropriation of writing.
We shall cite an example that, although it contains colloquial language particular to Mexico, can be understood within the context and allows participants to observe and identify normalised violent behaviours. They are fragments from the final section of the story "Mañana lloraré" [I Will Cry Tomorrow] by Héctor Aguilar Camín (following a fight that two twins provoke to defend their sister's "shyness", which is also an act of violence against her and the bodies of women in a state of "defencelessness" and possession/objectification):
"What a way to beat each other up, boys!" said the police officer once inside and installed in Doña Raquel Casares' living room. "It reminds me of the good old days, beating people up all over town, La Romita, La Candelaria, Martínez de la Torre, Atencingo."
. . . Alatriste walked in front and stared incredulously at his own hands . . . He went up to the first floor and surveyed the mess in the hall again: Gamiochipi with his hands clenched over his head, Morales' disfigured face, Changoleón's choking, Geme Tico's sweating from the pain of the fracture that was beginning to liquefy the clumps of blood in his hair again, the horrifying left side of Geme Taco's face, El Cuero's broken nose, the purple line down Colington's face. And the agent giving a speech among them, exhuming their dead.
. . . He went into the bathroom and poured cold water on his hands for a long time, until they were numb. Something began to flip inside him. "I'm not going to cry," he repeated out loud. "At least I'm not going to cry today."
He stared at his feelingless hands, those unfamiliar and alien hands, numb from the water that ran transparent over them, then raised his eyes and looked in the mirror at the face of a guy he did not know either.
"What a joke," said the guy in the mirror, trying to crack a smile.
"What a joke," Alatriste replied, trying to crack his own.
But they both cried like pigs…

This way of "experiencing" masculinity is usually generated during primary socialisation and later during adolescence, when experiencing the body is central. Regarding the body in men, for example, Juan José Millás, in La vida a ratos, tells us:
The risk of suffering traumatic events due to the "mandates of patriarchal masculinity" is expressed, above all, in the exercising of physical violence as a way to "resolve" conflicts, as well as containing emotions that make them seem "weak" or "fragile"
Monday. The question is: do I have a body or am I my body? As a young man, you have a body which you drive wildly, as befits the derangement typical of those years. You make it go at a hundred and eighty miles an hour, push its revs beyond the limit, and it almost always responds.
During that period, the affinity between you and your body is not very high: the same as you have with a toy or a car. Your toy can break, your car can get old, but you're still there, going for it and smashing it like a man. It could be said that you don't believe in death. But as the years go by, mysteriously, one becomes one's body.
One day you get out of bed, walk towards the mirror, look at yourself, and the revelation suddenly hits you: I am my body, I am this, I am my container and content, all at the same time. If a text, literary or otherwise, could speak to itself, it would reach the same conclusion: my content is my form. Thus, it is said, after a certain age the body ceases to be the vehicle of the self to become the self of the vehicle. A frightening revelation.
Juan José Millás, La vida a ratos (Mexico City: Alfaguara, 2019).
Millás confirms what studies of masculinity teach us: men grow up with a perception of invulnerability, which puts them at risk when they feel vulnerable; to find oneself in a not very masculine place is synonymous with weakness, which makes it difficult to ask for help. This vulnerability can, but not always, be accepted as life progresses, even though the experience of being "patient" may continue to be difficult and contradictory, especially when a small or large quota of power is held. Let us look at Roman emperor Hadrian, masterfully interpreted by Marguerite Yourcenar:
I took off my cloak and tunic and lay down on a couch. I spare you details which would be as disagreeable to you as to me, the description of the body of a man who is growing old, and is about to die of a dropsical heart . . . It is difficult to remain an emperor in the presence of a physician, and difficult even to keep one's essential quality as man. The professional eye saw in me only a mass of humours, a sorry mixture of blood and lymph . . . But no one can go beyond prescribed limits: my swollen limbs no longer sustain me through the long Roman ceremonies; I fight for breath; and I am now sixty… I have nevertheless reached the age where life, for every man, is accepted defeat.
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian, translated by Grace Frick in collaboration with the author (London: Secker & Warburg, 1955).
Then the novel narrates parts of his life he has renounced: hunting, riding a horse, eating too much, the voluptuousness of love, and "of all the joys which are slowly abandoning me, sleep is one of the most precious, though one of the most common, too."
Men in the face of illness and mourning
The issue of care in both health and illness is an issue that has become feminised as a result of the sexual division of labour. This also occurs in the care of men, especially when they are children, adolescents or older adults. A young man is suddenly confronted with caring for his father. Mario Sánchez Carbajal realises this when referring to the umpteenth time his father, who could barely take care of himself and hardly allowed others to take care of him, was admitted to hospital. Together with his mother, they must find a way to reorganise their lives to support his father's hospital care… "and thus we would try to build our life around that of my father, around a wild and brittle sun; a glass sun that did not possess the words to name us, but that had us tethered, circling around it, like those wild horses that to be tamed are forced to run thousands of laps around a man who is not even half the animal's size." [5]5 — Sánchez Carbajal, Mario (2017). Bilis negra. Mexico City: INBA.
On the issue of care during illness, the experience of the pandemic has made gender inequality sharply visible and has contributed to reinforcing the problem in many ways, although when questioning it, certain segments of men have been able to assume it as a challenge to equality and care. Ivonne Laus clearly describes the effect of lockdown on the mental health of the segment of society that enjoys the luxury of being able to work from home by living in:
The women's movement against inequality, injustice and violence has also laid bare that the patriarchal mandate has to do with a hierarchical society in which violence and inequality have been normalised
This unbearable alterity that the world is today, I suffer silence in my mouth, at the corner of these renounced lips that do not wet anything, that do not pronounce anything, that do not spit, that do not drink from anyone's glass, at their tables, in their houses, in their streets. The abyss of the eyes, which slide unsuspectingly on the slope of the curve of disease. And, again, the murmur, that ringing in the ears, but grating, that deafens the afternoon, to the sound of the song of the deadly siren that sounds every day, unequivocally, at six o'clock.
Hands anaesthetised from not touching anything. Feet numb from feeling the weight of the walk between the bathroom, the bed, the kitchen, and the living room. The mind trapped within the 17 inches of the automatic brightness of the computer screen, a hermit-like life empowered to the extreme in defence of all humanity.
Ivonne Laus, In P. Collado; G. Nettel; Y. Weiss (coord.), Crónicas de la Pandemia (México: UNAM, 2020).
The pandemic confronted men with vulnerability and fear, with the need to take care of themselves to be able to take care of others, and with the challenge of managing both work and domestic malaises. It is not accidental that important leaders of various countries around the world refused to wear face masks to then fall ill with COVID. The pandemic also questions the idea of capitalist and neoliberal progress and its predatory relationship with nature—a patriarchal form of development. In the feminisation of care work, many women end up caring for both women and men throughout their whole lives, frequently functioning as "ambassadors" of male ailments in health services.
Concerning the care and knowledge of the different evolutionary stages of the body throughout life, the discourses of power and control that are internalised by men can generate a lower tolerance towards the bodily vulnerability that they, like any other living being, experience and, therefore, towards the vision of life as a process that includes death as a natural part of it. In this sense, there is a certain difficulty in identifying why the vision of hegemonic masculinity puts them at greater risk of rejecting a healthier quality of life, one that does not expose them to violent acts, and in the prevention and care of their health in the broadest sense, thus resulting in a quality of the process of life itself and, therefore, of death. Regarding the experience of mourning, it is important to allow oneself to feel the pain, sadness and fragility of the loss to elaborate the process of mourning (among other emotional manifestations). If these emotions and feelings are conceived as synonymous with weakness or being "feminine", they will generate a complicated or non-elaborate mourning process, which will end up affecting their own health and that of those close to them.
The women's movement in favour of profound changes in relation to gender inequality, injustice and violence has also laid bare the urgency of knowing and recognising that the patriarchal mandate has to do with a hierarchical society in which violence and inequality have been normalised, and that it also affects men (although not in the same way and proportion) [6]6 — We recognise that this text was developed in a very binary way, comparing men and women. Obviously, society is much more diverse and complex, and in this regard, literature will also be an extraordinary tool for raising awareness. . This movement encourages the creation of new ways of forming ourselves, of relating, of doing politics, of exercising justice, of creating collective networks with other types of values in one's own gaze, and of listening to oneself and others. This text seeks to help show the ways in which hegemonic masculinity also affects men, and that the privileges that are still prevalent greatly affect both women and men. Based on self-care as a political category, men can analyse and rebuild their identity, overcome mandates and stereotypes to expand this care to others, as well as to the planet. Along this path, we have wanted to emphasise the power of literature and autobiographical writing by means of a programme that can act as a mirror, a sensitisation and awareness mechanism, as well as a space that enables dialogue between genders and generations.

As virtual reality catches on, companies are getting more creative in making the VR experience more immersive. The other day we reported on a device called the Mask that can sense your facial expressions and translate them to a computer avatar in real time. This advancement could make social interactions within virtual worlds more realistic. Now a company called Contact CI is working on a glove that uses advanced haptic feedback to simulate the sensations of touching and picking up virtual objects.
Haptic feedback, or just haptics, is the application of tactile sensation to computer applications. For example, any device with a vibrate function could be programmed to signal a very short vibration whenever a key is pressed. Add to that an audible clicking sound effect, and you get a sensation when using the on-screen keyboard that feels more like a physical keyboard.
Digital Trends reports that Contact CI wants to take haptics to the next level with its Maestro glove. The Maestro is designed to work with a VR headset and uses motors to create resistance when the user is manipulating objects in the virtual world. So for example, you could pick up a sword in a game, and it would feel like you were gripping a handle rather than making a fist.
It achieves this through what Contact CI calls "synthetic tendons." These stop your fingers from moving through a virtual object just as if it were physical. At this point, it cannot simulate weight, however applying the same synthetic tendons to the arms could easily create the sensation of lifting something that has weight.
There are always some concerns to consider when sticking your hand into a mechanical device. Fortunately, Contact CI has incorporated safety into the design. To prevent a malfunction or malicious programming from injuring the user's fingers, the motors providing the force feedback are weak. In other words, if you were to pick up a virtual object, the synthetic tendons would cue your fingers to stop at the surface, but you could still easily overpower them and squeeze through the object to make a fist.
There is no word when the Maestro will be released to the public. However, the glove is currently in "early beta testing." If you are interested in being a beta tester, Contact CI is accepting applications.
The idea of actually being able to handle a sword in a VR version of Skyrim, or better yet, feel a gun and pull the virtual trigger in Call of Duty VR is intriguing. However, the last time a glove peripheral was tried it did not fair too well. Nintendo's Power Glove was a commercial failure. Although, in its defense, Nintendo did only make two games for it and both were flops. Maybe the Maestro will be different.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Mr Oscar Onyema, yesterday projected that uncertainty in crude prices and Nigeria's forthcoming general elections will define investors' sentiments in the first half of 2019.
In other words, there will be volatility in the market, a situation that is expected to improve by the second quarter. A quick implementation of the 2019 budget will also encourage companies to earn more, Onyema said.
The NSE CEO made these projections while speaking during the 2018 Market Recap and Outlook for 2019 which took place at the Stock Exchange House in Marina, Lagos.
He attributed the growth to macroeconomic stability and demonstrated effort by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to control inflation.
Speaking further, Mr Onyema recounted how the market started out 2018 on a positive note, only to become negatively influenced by the decline in oil prices, political risks and rising global yields.
He also stated that equity turnover remained relatively stable in 2018 despite the fact that four companies were delisted, only one listing, and a marginal 5.45% decline to N1.20 trillion.
On a positive note, market capitalisation increased by 11.75% to N11.17 trillion up from N9.10 trillion.
He also said the NSE will continue to collaborate with stakeholders in the public and private sector.
The Market Recap and Outlook event is an annual one which serves as a forum for the NSE boss to brief stockbrokers, financial analysts, business news reporters and other stakeholders in the market.


Changes in food composition of 12 species of fishes from the southeastern part of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Colombia were evaluated; a total of 2035 individuals were sampled. Significant changes in food composition with size, time and space were observed, mainly in Ariopsis sp., Cathorops mapale, Lycengraulis batesii, Astyanax magdalenae, and Aequidens pulcher. Regarding diet similarity between species, two main groups were observed. The first one was divided in three subgroups: one characterized by fish foraging on insects and zooplankton is composed by A. magdalenae and Roeboides dayi; the second one is composed by the generalists Ariopsis sp., L. batesii, and A. pulcher, and the third one by fish predators Caquetaia kraussii and C. mapale. The other group was characterized by fish feeding on phytoplankton and in a lower proportion on detritus and zooplankton (Oreochromis niloticus, Mugil incilis, M. liza, and M. curema) or on detritus (Cyphocharax magdalenae).

Dave Matthews Band Budweiser Stage, Toronto ON, July 10
Photo: Stephen McGill
Between a prominent song placement in Lady Bird and an art-damaged tribute album by Ryley Walker, Dave Matthews Band have undergone something of a reappraisal in the last couple years.
Despite the band's sudden cool-adjacent status, their latest Toronto show didn't offer even the faintest trace of hipster detachment or self-aware irony. The vibe was cargo shorts, vocal scatting and deeply earnest revelry.
With the sun setting over the Budweiser Stage, the seven-piece arrived unceremoniously, milling around with their instruments before easing into the "That Girl Is You" from last year's Come Tomorrow. It was an unassuming start that built to a giddy crescendo, complete with funky jamming and Matthews' falsetto howls.
This peculiar opener set the tone for a bizarrely paced performance; it was as if DMB had put their entire discography on shuffle, pulling out deep cuts without the slight regard for "playing the hits."
Sometimes, this approach yielded surprising treasures. A scorching version of "You Might Die Trying" blew its studio counterpart out of the water, with duelling horns and a technically masterful shred solo from guitarist Tim Reynolds, while "Do You Remember" was a sweetly nostalgic pop tune on a night dominated by jazz-rock jams. Early career highlight "Recently" was a joyful mix of sunny riffs and hiccup-y, yodelling declarations of love.
But the set list began to drag as the nearly three-hour performance wore on. The schmaltzy acoustic ballad "Sister" sucked the life out of the audience, and a woman sitting in front of me began watching Ellen videos during the ponderous "Seek Up." The night included just one song apiece from DMB's definitive mid-'90s albums Under the Table and Dreaming and Crash.
Yet even when the songs disappointed, the band performed them with gusto: ever-smiling drummer Carter Beauford doled out fist-bumps between tunes, keyboardist Buddy Strong duetted with the crowd on "Everyday" (which was mashed up with fan fave "#36"), and Matthews performed his signature bow-legged dance moves at every opportunity. The frontman didn't say much, but his mumbling thank-yous were greeted with enthusiasm from the faithful.
The evening's upbeat mood proved that, despite some lineup changes over the years — founding saxophonist Leroi Moore died in 2008, and violinist Boyd Tinsley was ejected in 2018 amidst sexual misconduct allegations — DMB's modus operandi has stayed much the same. They're still a party band, and the show had all of the elements you'd expect from a raging kegger: "Crush" was like a sloppy make-out with an ex; "Funny the Way It Is" offered the stoner philosophizing of the dude on a "we live in a society" rant; and "What Would You Say" was the drunken group sing-along.
The whole thing culminated in a garish, comically over-the-top cover of "All Along the Watchtower," which included some embarrassingly on-the-nose flourishes (like some "mwah-ha-ha" laughter after the line "life is but a joke"). There was even an interpolation of "Stairway to Heaven" for maximum tackiness. But hey, since when was a party ever supposed to be tasteful?

The northwestern sector of the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, has a layered structure,due to the presence of both meteoric ice and a marine ice layer resulting from sub-shelf freezing processes. Crystal orientation fabric and grain-size data are presented for ice cores obtained from two boreholes $70 km apart on approximately the same flowline. Multiple-maxima crystal orientation fabrics and large mean grain sizes in the meteoric ice are indicative of stress relaxation and subsequent grain growth in ice that has flowed into the Amery Ice Shelf. Strongly anisotropic single-maximum crystal orientation fabrics and rectangular textures near the base of the $200 m thick marine ice layer suggest accretion occurs by the accumulation of frazil ice platelets. Crystal orientation fabrics in older marine ice exhibit vertical large circle girdle patterns, influenced by the complex stress configurations that exist towards the margins of the ice shelf. Post-accumulation grain growth and fabric development in the marine ice layer are restricted by a high concentration of brine and insoluble particulate inclusions. Differences in the meteoric and marine ice crystallography are indicative of the contrasting rheological properties of these layers, which must be considered in relation to large-scale ice-shelf dynamics.

Terminology varies with country but investment funds are often referred to as investment pools, collective investment vehicles, collective investment schemes, managed funds, or simply funds. The regulatory term is undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities, or short collective investment undertaking (cf. Law ). An investment fund may be held by the public, such as a mutual fund, exchange-traded fund, or closed-end fund, or it may be sold only in a private placement, such as a hedge fund or private equity fund. The term also includes specialized vehicles such as collective and common trust funds, which are unique bank-managed funds structured primarily to commingle assets from qualifying pension plans or trusts.

Q: Probing a port for RDP I use an ssh tunnel to RDP into my home computer ("home").
Occasionally, the tunneling software running on home crashes and the RDP port stops getting tunneled. I've attempted to resolve this by scheduling a script on home to run every 15 minutes that runs "netstat -tln" on my router and restarts the tunneling software if the tunneled RDP port is no longer open.
Unfortunately, occasionally the crashes are such that the RDP port remains open and accepting connections, but doesn't tunnel any traffic. E.g. the port remains open according to netstat and if I attempt to telnet into the port, it connects and shows me a blank screen. If I attempt to RDP through the tunnel, the session connects but spins on "Configuring remote session".
Bottom line: I'd like my "watchdog" script to actually attempt to connect to the RDP port to determine if the tunnel is still good. How do you probe a port to test if it's an open RDP port?
I'm thinking the ideal test is actually probing the port for RDP, but I'm also open to other ideas.

A: I figured out an easy way to do it. When my script executes the netstat command on the router to verify that the RDP tunnel is open, I can also send an RDP connection request over the tunnel using netcat!
This is the command I used to send the connection request packet. I grabbed the packet itself from the example connection sequence in Microsoft's RDP specification.
echo -ne '\x03\x00\x00\x2c\x27\xe0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'\
'Cookie: mstshash=eltons\r\n'\
'\x01\x00\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' |
nc -w 5 localhost 6000 |
xxd -p |
xargs -0 printf 'RDP response: %s\n'

The tunnel is over port 6000. The netcat command has -w 5 so that the connection will be closed if a response is not received within 5 seconds. xxd converts it to a simple hex string and I prefix xxd's output with RDP response: so my script can easily scan for this line in the output.
If the RDP server is listening, I will receive output similar to this.
RDP response: 030000130ed000001234000209080000000000

The only other validation I do is look for the byte 02 at offset 11 to verify that it is an RDP packet that includes a TYPE_RDP_NEG_RSP (RDP negotiate response) structure.
Fixing the crashes would be the obvious solution, but I've had the tunneling software crash in several different ways and I'm not doing anything unusual with it. The software I'm using is BitVise SSH Client. I'm using the latest version and with some Googling I haven't found anyone else that has similar problems. It only crashes once every few days or weeks, but it's frustrating attempting to RDP into my computer to find out that it's not accepting connections and there's nothing I can do about it until I get home.


Why does Succubus need to be tiefling? I personally hate tieflings and their racial, and I would personally like this possible character to have it's own racial.
In the D&D (don't know about Pathfinder) devil/demon structure, a succubus is a Demon, and so is Chaotic. The Erynie is the Devilish (Lawful) counterpart.
If they mixed with humanoid races and beget children, it is logical, but not mandatory, that their progeny would be Tiefling. They could be regular Elves Humans, Orcs or whatever.
At least, that's my understanding of that whole cosmology.
Have to say it really doesn't fit the theme of this campaign. Id say you should ask for them to make wrath of the righteous. There is a companion there you may enjoy.
I mean...Meh? Personally I'd prefer to see a Tiefling with the Succubus bloodline. But maybe you can make the char. like how BG2: EE inserted a vampire into their game. Gave them an item that reduced their regularly OP stats.
But I won't say outright 'no' to any additional companions, so long as they're interesting.

Is there a "Hell no" option for this poll? I mean no problem with Pitborn Tiefling, but I don't think that you understand what you're asking for if you mean straight up Succubus. That's 10HD of monstrous levels, and they're attack-on-sight in 99% of Golarion.
Well, as Succubi can change shape as they wish, that shouldn't be a problem. And then they can always greater teleport anywhere they wished in case they couldn't convince their enemy with a Suggestion or a Charm Monster, helped with a Detect Thoughts to be more convincing... And they actually have 8 HD.
As for the overall power, there are various ways to limit their power through some story that would have left them in a weakened state and that's precisely why they would try and stay with a powerful adventurer like your character, to protect them while they gather their strength back and find a way to counter the weakening curse (or whatever) affecting them. You might not even know who they are at first, they could be merely a seductive companion at first, and they would only reveal themselves at a later point in the story, or only to evil characters. There are many ways to get this without unbalancing the game.
Of course, those who only want an overpowered companion would be disappointed. But those who might want a Succubus for story reasons might love something like that.
Personally, I don't really care about Succubi and I voted "out" as I don't think it fits the Kingmaker AP background as I understand it.
The primary joy of the succubus is in destroying innocence and love; offering a child, virgin, or a beloved family member to gain the interest of the succubus.
Hehehe... now that would be really something new.
A Succubus should behave and act as such. Meaning: Your baron and your barony are most likely not going to enjoy the continuous presence of a demon, not even on a evil play-through. Then I'd be ok with the possibility of a Succubus as companion.
Making it otherwise less powerful, less evil/ less demonic, is... how should I put it... Why add a Succubus in the fist place?
And therefor: Shu, shu of to the Abyss with it.

Midas Gold Makes Senior Technical Appointments for its Golden Meadows Project, Idaho
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Midas Gold Corp. (MAX:TSX) today announced that it has made a number of senior technical appointments to support its current and planned work program at its Golden Meadows Project in Idaho.
"The appointment of three very experienced and highly qualified senior technical personnel to the Golden Meadows Project team strengthens Midas Gold's ability to continue to advance its evaluation of this significant gold-silver-antimony deposit," said Stephen Quin, President and CEO of Midas Gold. "Midas Gold's capability to attract such senior personnel in a highly competitive market is a reflection of the quality of the Golden Meadows Project," he said. "With seven drills on site – four core, two reverse circulation and one sonic rig - we are and plan to continue to systematically conduct infill, step-out and exploration drilling across our expanded Golden Meadows Project while, in parallel, advancing updated mineral resource estimates and completion of an independent preliminary economic assessment on the project."
Technical Appointments
Midas Gold has added three senior, experienced technical personnel to its Golden Meadows Project staff.
John Meyer, P.Eng., has been appointed as Development Manager for the Golden Meadows Project, effective the start of 2012. Mr. Meyer was most recently the Project Manager for Kinross Gold's Fruta del Norte (FDN) gold project in Ecuador, where he managed the design and development of this high-grade refractory gold project. His responsibilities with FDN included management of the preliminary and final feasibility studies, drilling activities and site construction. Prior to Kinross Gold's acquisition of Aurelian Resources, Mr. Meyer was Director of Technical Services with Aurelian Resources, where he managed preparation of the FDN scoping study. Prior to Aurelian, Mr. Meyer held a corporate position as Manager of Geotechnical Engineering with Barrick Gold and, also with Barrick, Engineering Manager for aspects of the Pascua Lama project in Chile/Argentina. Prior to his role with Barrick, Mr. Meyer was an engineering design consultant and involved in projects for Syncrude Canada, Diavik Diamond Mines, Cominco Metals, Suncor Energy and Placer Dome Canada, among others.
Richard Moses, Professional Geologist, has been appointed Field Operations Manager for the Golden Meadow Project. Mr. Moses has extensive cold-weather drill definition experience, most recently as site manager for International Tower Hill's Livengood project, where he managed nine drills conducting mineral resource and hydrologic drilling. Prior to that, Mr. Moses was Exploration Manager for Altynalmas Gold's Bakyrchik gold project in Kazakhstan, where he supervised a 40,000m drill program designed to convert mineral resources to NI43-101 compliant estimates. Prior to Bakyrchik, Mr. Moses spent three years as site manager and geologist at Northern Dynasty's Pebble copper-gold project in Alaska, where he was involved in the discovery and definition of the Pebble East deposit, and spent four years with Placer Dome as project manager and geologist drilling off the Donlin Creek gold project in Alaska.
Midas has also retained Don Weaver as drilling program supervisor, to assist with managing the drilling program and oversee the logging of core and rock chips at Midas Gold's expanded facilities in Lake Fork, Idaho. Mr. Weaver was previously responsible for exploration and definition drilling at Sumitomo's Pogo gold mine in Alaska, including drill oversight, core logging and QA/QC and prior to that, was underground mine geologist for Teck at Pogo. Previously, Mr. Weaver worked on gold projects in the US owned by Anglo Gold, Kinross and Independence Mining, among others.

A well established belief both in the game-theoretic IO and in policy debates is that market concentration facilitates collusion. We show that this piece of conventional wisdom relies upon the assumption of profit-seeking behaviour, for it may be reversed when firms pursue other plausible goals. To illustrate our intuition, we investigate the incentives to tacit collusion in an industry formed by Labor-Managed (LM) enterprises. We characterize the perfect equilibrium of a supergame in which LM firms play an infinitely repeated Cournot game. We show that the critical threshold of the discount factor above which collusion is stable (i) is lower in the LM industry than in the capitalistic one; (ii) monotonically decreases with the number of firms.

Online form filling jobs without investment do, in fact, exist. The most common among these is data entry.
Data entry is actually a pretty broad term. These online jobs can cover a large variety of work that all use a common step; you fill in the information. Data entry can include placing ads, filling out form to be processed, or processing information into a different form. It's actually very simple. You take the information they give you and plug it into whichever form (that they also give you) they want you to use. Most of them are really that simple, but not all online form filling jobs without investment will be.
This will require some training. The training is usually provided by the company at no cost. The reason for the training is the sensitivity of the form. If you are filling out insurance forms, you will need to know the right codes for the form. Also, some forms are worded funny, so getting a breakdown of what they expect where on the form is a good idea. This is another example of online form filling jobs without investment, but it will require a little more from you to do it properly.

Compared to e-business, the event industry has been slightly hesitant when it comes to analyzing the customer journey at trade shows. How can event organizers optimize individual touch points with trade show visitors along the customer journey? How can they literally wow their attendees and engage them?
Even in the Digital Age of Business, live events like trade shows and conferences are more important than ever. Just think about the massive hype around Apple Events. Hardly any event creates such a high amount of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). People get crazy about the presentation of new iPhones and gadgets from Cupertino. The same applies to events from Samsung, Google or other technology giants.
The good news is: Live events are still extremely important. They generate awareness, engage and amaze people, and speak to their emotions.
However, organizers have realized that the idea of bringing exhibitors together at an event is no longer enough to be successful in the exhibition business.
Today, there are endless alternatives to present a company and a product. This has led to a rather fragmented concept of communication. The real value lies in the reach and the quality of contacts that an event offers.
Visitor marketing and the customer journey of a potential show visitor are key elements of a successful exhibition strategy.
Personas matter: Have you ever seen a pie chart attending your exhibition?
How well do you know your potential and actual visitors? How much do you know about their concerns and challenges, their reasons to attend an exhibition (and the reasons why they don't)? You might have a rough idea, based on your experience. But what about your service providers and partners that have a major impact on the customer experience throughout various touchpoints along the customer journey?
Personas can help. They put faces and names to your customers, and they tell you more about wishes, hopes, dreams, motivations and pain points. You will find great tips on how to create personas on the Event Marketing Blog. You certainly have more than one "typical" customer, but altogether there shouldn't be more than 5-6 personas representing 80-90% of your visitors.
Personas help you and your service providers to make sure all communication efforts are aligned with customer needs.
Journey Mapping: Where does the Customer Journey at exhibitions begin and what does it look like?
The next step is about analyzing individual touchpoints that your customers have with your exhibition. Where do they find them? And what experience do they have? You will soon realize the customer journey at exhibitions begins long before the event.
An example: You organize an exhibition for transportation and logistics. Your target group: Logistics specialists in e-commerce companies. The customer journey of this person begins way before the exhibition takes place – it almost certainly starts with a Google search. Are you present at this stage? Can you provide useful, good content? What happens afterward?
Besides the virtual touchpoints, there are important personal touchpoints in the real world. You may want to map all touchpoints with customers to a Journey or Experience Map. Ask yourself: Where and how do the customers experience the exhibition before, during and after an event?
No visitor in the world is interested in the size of the exhibition – what matters is the value of the event: Will the customers find solutions to their problems at the event? Will they be able to meet industry peers and learn about trends?
Exhibition organizers often waste too much time with discussions about space, square meters or exhibitor numbers. This is too abstract. People need stories - success stories or personal stories from speakers or industry experts; they need emotional stories that engage them. Anything but boring!
Which stories are you able to tell? Where do they fit into the customer journey? It doesn't matter if you tell the story on your website, on social media, in an e-mail, through printed ads, brochures or videos. Consistency counts. The way you present yourself and your stories need to be perfectly aligned.
Brian Solis is a business innovator and an expert for digital business. In his latest book "X – The Experience When Business Meets Design" he writes, "The future of business lies in experience architecture and you are the architect!"
Great experiences engage your customers and tie them to your exhibition. Bad experiences make them leave. Experience design is about creating lasting customer experiences with your exhibition (brand) that your customers are likely to share.
Ask yourself: Which touchpoints along the customer journey can be improved in terms of customer experience?
Customer experience is not "one big chunk of marketing," but includes a variety of small experiences and positive surprises. Some examples: Do your customers find you when they search topics that are related to your exhibition? How do you answer the phone when a customer calls? Is your website optimized for mobile? How do you welcome customers at the event? Do you offer smooth ticketing processes? What about directions and visitor orientation at your exhibition? How do you thank visitors for attending your event?
I once stayed at the Grand Hyatt in Shanghai and had a particularly memorable moment: The lady at the exit of the lobby said goodbye AND included my name when wishing me a nice day. Wow!
Why shouldn't event staff do the same? It is even easier for them at an exhibition because visitors wear a badge!
The strength of global brands like Disney, Nike, and Apple lies inconsistent and emotional experiences. They put a lot of thought into the way customers perceive their brand and how they can shape experiences.
Exhibition organizers, think about the customer journey and the experiences of your show visitors. It will pay off!
