DDoS by mobile phone: is it a goer?
At the Register , John Leyden predicted a new threats to mobile phones: SMS DDoS. This kind of threats will be significant, especially when SMS network is carried by public IP networks. Telco companies would better carry their IN and soft-switch network with different IP core than common Internet applications.
Mobile phone networks could be swamped by text messages to phones in a denial of service attack by hackers, academics warn. A paper by Enck, Traynor, McDaniel, and La Porta of Pennsylvania State University explains that if too many text messages are sent to phones in the the same cell of a mobile network at the same time the cell's control channel might be monopolised, preventing new calls from being initiated.
The academics suggest it might be possible to deny voice service to cities the size of Washington with "little more than a cable modem" by sending hundreds of SMS messages a second from a broadband connected PC.

We strive to impact policy by reducing barriers to the full access to learning, living, and working, and the pursuit of a complete and quality life.
The Thompson Policy Institute brings clarity to complex, emerging issues by examining all sides of the debate and presenting objective, research-based views.
The Thompson Policy Institute is dedicated to providing independent training on significant topics related to disability and facilitating action in areas that require community change.
The Thompson Policy Institute presents research that results in policy recommendations to decision makers at the local, state and eventually national levels. The next DisAbility Summit will be held in Spring of 2019.
Founded in 2015, Chapman University's Thompson Policy Institute (TPI) on Disability strives to impact policy by reducing barriers limiting access to learning, living and working, and the pursuit of a complete and quality life.
To accomplish this goal, the TPI assesses research and acts on the critical issues facing people with disabilities, as well as their families, support communities and the agencies that work on their behalf. TPI research outcomes are shared regularly throughout the year and summarized annually at the DisAbility Summit at Chapman University.
The work of the Thompson Policy Institute is to propose real-world solutions to these barriers and disseminate ideas, policies, and practices to those who have influence over the lives of people with disabilities. These "influencers" include individuals with disabilities, their families, policy-makers, care-givers, professionals, and even the general public who control the perception of disability and ability.
Please visit the 2019 DisAbility Summit page to learn more about the Thompson Policy Institute's DisAbility Summit.
If you would like to stay connected, please send us an email at tpi@chapman.edu to be added to our mailing list.

This year's DisAbility Summit will be held on Friday, April 19th, 2019.
Our work feeds decisions-makers at all levels. If a group makes decisions that will impact disability issues, they are stakeholders. These groups range from legislators to school-agency leaders to families and those with disabilities. Learn more about our stakeholders.

Off The Fence are delighted to launch their two mobile vans in Brighton & Hove to ensure the homeless community always have access to their most basic need – hygiene. The Hygiene Van will access more clients than our teams on foot, enable emergency care on the streets and provide signposting to local services relevant to those sleeping rough on the streets. The van will supply essentials such as sleeping bags, hot drinks, heavy duty clothing, hats, scarves, socks, gloves, underwear, toothpaste and brushes, soap, shaving cream and razors, antiperspirant, suntan cream, and feminine hygiene products.
The second van is a Mobile Laundry Van, which offers homeless individuals an opportunity to look and feel better, essentially enabling them to live healthier lives and prevent exclusion from the community. Laundry is limited to 1-2 pairs of pants, about 3 t-shirts, sweatshirts/jumpers and socks. Each client is given a mesh bag to place their belongings inside and may fill only halfway to allow proper movement inside the bags for washing and drying inside the machines. Spare clothes will be carried in the van.
Off The Fence is a Hove-based charity working with the homeless for the last 20 years. These vans will complement the existing work of Antifreeze which offers support to homeless individuals through a day centre and evening outreach service.
Visit the Off the Fence website where you can find out more about their work.
Great project! It will make such a difference.
Well done everyone. Wish I lived close enough to donate some clothing.

A monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov, the renowned Russian weapons engineer, has been unveiled in central Moscow. Kalashnikov is shown holding his iconic assault rifle, the AK-47, which is believed to be world's most-produced firearm.
The five-meter bronze figure standing on a four-meter pedestal was presented to the public in a ceremony on Tuesday.
Sculptor Savlat Scherbakov, who created the monument, said he wanted his work to represent a fight between good and evil, as befits a man whose life's work was an instrument of death.
The pedestal is engraved with an image of Archangel Michael, the general of the host of angels in a war against Satan and namesake of the late weapons designer.
"Archangel Michael's spear is a weapon meant to fight evil of the world," the sculptor explained.
There are an estimated 100 million AK-47 assault rifles currently in use, and the weapon has become so prominent in some conflict zones that it made its way to the state symbols of some African nations.
Kalashnikov, who died in 2013 at the age of 95, always insisted that he saw the weapons he designed as a means to defend his homeland, not as bringers of death.
He was a tank commander during World War II, beginning his career as a weapons designer after a shoulder injury during the Battle of Bryansk.
While in hospital in 1942, Kalashnikov overheard wounded soldiers complaining about Soviet rifles and decided to change his career path.
The first Kalashnikov rifle was produced in 1947, bringing its creator the Stalin Prize and the Order of the Red Star.
"I believe the difficult life of [Kalashnikov] is an example of dedication to one's job and homeland. It's an example for our youths to follow," said Sergey Chemezov, the head of Rostec, a state-owned umbrella corporation for defense producers.
It's not the first time the AK-47 has appeared on a monument, as Egypt erected a giant statute of the iconic rifle's barrel and bayonet at the Sinai Peninsula to commemorate soldiers who died in the Battle of Ismailia in 1973.

I'm not terribly sure what to make of the latest statements by FCC chair Tom Wheeler. His recent blog post tells us that he's decided not to follow up on reforming the rules that allow channel blackouts, yet he "summoned" DISH and Tribune to a meeting to review the blackout that's still ongoing there, and when that didn't work he promised to review things even further.
In the past, I've personally endorsed the idea of binding arbitration for channel retransmission disputes. (A reminder: my endorsement doesn't reflect the opinion of Solid Signal, a DISH and DIRECTV dealer, nor does it reflect the endorsement of any of the parent companies. The lawyers make me say that.) But all that language aside, it seems to me that at some point if two companies can't work something out, then it's in the public interest to find some way to end a channel blackout. Obviously in a case like that neither side "wins," but the subscribers get their stations back and there's something to be said for that.
So now Mr. Wheeler says that he won't change what are arguably broken rules, since they don't stop two parties from walking away from the table and depriving millions of people of channels they're paying for. When there's a channel blackout, your cable or satellite company doesn't reduce your bill proportionately because of the channels you don't get, so there's a certain element of unfairness there too, right? Who's to blame for that?
I'll tell you who's to blame for that – content providers. I understand that it's the cable and satellite companies who aren't changing your billing during a blackout period, but if they did it would probably be a gigantic mess, and the real culprits here are the content providers who pull their programming. That's what causes those blackouts. As far as I know, there has never been a case where a cable company blacked out programming without the content provider demanding it first.
The one thing that everyone seems to agree on here is that the current rules are a bit of a mess and the situation seems to get worse every year. DIRECTV just blacked out three stations in Boston and of course Tribune stations on DISH are blacked out all over the country. It's only July, but at some point you're going to see some impact here as we get closer and closer to fall TV rollouts. I predict that, as usual, these blackouts will be miraculously solved with just days to go before new programming hits, making the whole process seem kind of hypocritical.
So why won't the FCC do anything about it? The FCC is a product of politics, far more than most people realize. Mr. Wheeler and the rest of the commissioners are political appointees, whose power derives from the Executive Branch. No matter who you are favoring, or if you don't care for any of the candidates, the one thing that is certain is that come January 21 we'll have a new President. That President may choose to appoint a whole new chairperson to the FCC, and that means that anything Mr. Wheeler chooses to do today could change. It takes months or years for the FCC to do anything, we've see that; starting something today means it's virtually guaranteed to spill over into 2017.
Now, I'm not saying that the FCC should just check out and go to Maui until January, because there are obviously some other things to do, things that were started months ago that could actually be finished by the end of the year. I have to admit, though, I don't know what they are. I sort of imagine the FCC as a bunch of people sitting in a room arguing over what they want on their pizza for lunch, up until the time they need to go home, and they do it all over again the next day. That's probably not fair. I really don't know what the commissioners do but they must do something.
After all, the government wouldn't appoint a whole commission to just sit there, right?
My point here is that if Mr. Wheeler isn't going to act now to stop channel blackouts, perhaps his successor will, or perhaps he himself will during the next Presidential term. No matter what, I think it's hard to avoid thinking that some sort of reform is needed since greedy content providers aren't making things easy for anyone.

HES playground project awarded $25,750 grant
Posted by Hillsboro Community Foundation on October 14, 2015
The parent-led effort to renovate the playground at Hillsboro Elementary School took a big step forward last week with the announcement that Hillsboro Community Foundation will be awarding a grant of $25,750 toward the project.
The amount of the grant was a surprise for members of the HES site council committee that has set a goal of raising $150,000 to upgrade the playground surfaces and add new pieces of equipment.
Erin Beavers and members of the playground committee presented the project last Wednesday at a meeting of the HCF board.
"Dr. (Steve) Noble (USD 410 superintendent) had told us there was around $5,000 in the Kansas Health Foundation Fund," Beavers said. "He said if we would come and present that information, maybe we could get that for sure.
"We went in thinking around $5,000. It was well past our expectations."
Bryce Wichert, HCF board treasurer, said the committee presentation prompted them to go beyond the minimum.
"After hearing her presentation and seeing the efforts that they've already made toward this project, we as a board decided that making a grant to this project would give them a great boost toward their goal and a boost toward increasing the possible matching grant they potentially could receive from (the Kansas Department of Health and Environment).
"The funds are coming from two funds, $20,000 from the Marga Ebel Health Fund and $5,000 from the Kansas Health Foundation Fund for Hillsboro, for a total of $25,000," Wichert said.
"The HES playground needs significant improvement to provide our elementary children with a safe environment to play in," he added. "Both of these funds were established to meet physical health needs in our community."
Prior to last week, the playground committee had managed to raise a little over $8,000 by sponsoring a soup supper, a fall carnival and a farmers market meal.
The biggest part of the renovation project, estimated to cost around $80,000, is installing an all-weather play surface to replace the deteriorated dirt grounds that make the current playground unusable when it rains and generates dust when it's dry.
Beavers said the significance of the HCF grant award is more than its face value.
"KDHE does a recycle-tire grant," Beavers said. "If we're going to do rubber chips, or poured-in-place (with a concrete base), which is what we're looking at, they'll do a matching grant based on how much you've raised.
"People who get the grant have to show that they have done some significant fundraising on their own," she added. "So this was huge for us."
Beavers said the KDHE grant would double whatever the committee has raised through the end of the calendar year, so private gifts are welcomed.
HES Principal Evan Yoder said he hopes the grant will spur additional gifts and grants. He said the school board has made the project a priority but has not yet decided how much funding the district can designate toward the project.
"I think things will move quickly," he said. "Kids that are in the upper grades now will get to use a new playground before they're out of here–that's what I'm hoping and sensing now."

What Is Life Really Like For Women In Iceland?
With accessible education and sustainability, Iceland is seen as quite a progressive country. But what's life like for Icelandic women?
By Trace Dominguez
In Iceland, women make up nearly an equal amount of the labor force as men and they've actually ranked first on the Global Gender Gap index since 2009. Iceland's former prime minister was openly lesbian, and women have close to an equal representation in parliament as well.
In a country that scores highly for female political empowerment and educational attainment, what is life really like for women in Iceland? Watch today's Seeker Daily video to find out.

VIDEO — David Garofalo: Gold Price Rise Inevitable, Expect US$3,000 Sooner Than Later

"When it happens, it's going to happen quickly and violently, as it normally does in commodity cycles," said David Garofalo of Gold Royalty.
David Garofalo: Gold Price Rise Inevitable, Expect US$3,000 Sooner Than Lateryoutu.be
Gold put on a fairly flat performance in 2021, but David Garofalo, formerly of Goldcorp and now at the helm of Gold Royalty (NYSEAMERICAN:GROY), expects a major move from the metal in 2022.
"I see no reason why we wouldn't achieve that US$3,000 an ounce target," he told the Investing News Network in a recent interview. "When it happens, it's going to happen quickly and violently, as it normally does in commodity cycles. It's not a steady upward trajectory to those types of targets."
He believes the trigger for such an increase will be "a correction in the general equity markets," although there are other factors at play that he also thinks will provide tailwinds for the yellow metal.
Garofalo spoke about the threat of inflation, saying that headline inflation numbers drastically understate the real level of inflation — "it's certainly not 5, 6 percent as the headline numbers would indicate," he said, noting that people are currently experiencing double-digit inflation in their day-to-day lives.
"That's because of all the excess paper that's been introduced into the system. Gold is the one currency you can't print — it's very finite in quantity, (and) it's inevitable that gold will go up," he continued.
"I would argue that it hasn't gone up appreciably because cryptocurrencies have displaced it somewhat, particularly with the new generation of investors that have come into the space."
Garofalo believes that ultimately market participants will realize that gold is superior to cryptocurrencies, and that will spark a migration into gold. "The (cryptocurrency valuations) make no sense — investors are buying it with the expectation that it's a reserve currency, it's going to protect them against volatility in the general equity markets, but that is not a safeguard of assets when you have volatility of 40 to 50 percent in a day," he said.
In his opinion, royalty companies are the best way for investors to play gold since they provide leverage to the yellow metal's price, as well as insulation from the problems miners face, which now includes input cost inflation.
"I do believe gold is going to do exceedingly well as it did 10 years ago, when there was a lot of monetary stimulus introduced into the system," he said. "But again, because of the input cost inflation that we're already seeing in the mining space, I think you're going to see the royalty companies significantly outperform at this end of the cycle."
Watch the interview above for more from Garofalo on where gold is headed in 2022.

Controversy & Conversation, Difficult Dialogues
How to Change the World by Promoting Diversity in "Big Green Groups"
March 31, 2017 Clare Callahan	1 Comment
By Virginia Palacios
The 2015 documentary film How to Change the World, directed by Jerry Rothwell, asserts itself as a chronicle of the origins of the "modern" environmental movement through its telling the story of the founding of Greenpeace in 1971. But a story that is nearly 50 years old about an environmental movement that has gone through significant changes since then is hardly "modern." The environmental movement continues to change, and "big green groups" like Greenpeace and Environmental Defense Fund, where I work, need to change with it or they will become relics.

Of course, the next morning always comes and I find myself in my clinic again, the exam room speaking aloud in all of its blatant metaphors—the huge clock above where my patients sit implacably measuring lifetimes; the space itself narrow and compressed as a sonnet—and immediately I'm back to thinking about writing. Soon enough, my patients start to arrive, and the way they want me to understand what they are feeling only immerses me more deeply in language's compelling alchemy: "The pain is like a cold, bitter wind blowing through my womb," murmurs a young infertile woman from Guatemala with what I have diagnosed much less eloquently as chronic pelvic pain. "Please, doctor, can you heal me?"

Not long ago, I studied medicine.
It was terrible, what the body told.
I'd look inside another person's mouth,
And see the desolation of the world.
I'd see his genitals and think of sin.

Cozy Chicks: Do you DIY?
When did DIY become rocket science?
Honestly, all I want to do is paint some paneling. My friend Mary Jane Maffini and her daughter painted every piece of paneling in their summer cottage, and she sent me a picture of one of the bedrooms and it looks lovely, so I know it can be done.
In order to get the job done, I figured I should pick MJ's brain, which I've been doing for the past two years now. She told me the kind of primer and paint they used, and the final color. It's great. Except for one thing. They're in Canada and so are the brands of paint they used. I'm across the lake (diagonally) and I've ended up at Home Depot and Sherwin Williams.
I was all prepared to paint the room, even put painter's tape up last weekend (the green kind that lasts 21 days--just in case you get sidetracked in the middle of the job) and then I thought . . . hmm . . . maybe I should see what HGTV.com has to say about painting paneling. Holy smoke! I need to De-GLOSS the paneling first. So I jumped in the car to get some de-Gloss. Only they didn't carry it. Go to Sherwin Williams. So I went there. They were out! Come back in a few days after they restock. So the room has been in an absolute state of chaos for a week now, with the furniture all bunched into one corner.
They finally had the de-glosser in yesterday. But I got dire warnings with it. Make SURE you follow ALL the directions. Make SURE you paint during the VERY SHORT WINDOW OF TIME the de-glosser works. MAKE SURE your primer will stick to ANY surface because the de-glosser MAY NOT WORK ON YOUR PANELING NO MATTER WHAT HGTV SAYS.
Okay, so now I'm living in dire fear. What if it doesn't actually de-gloss? What if the primer won't stick? If it doesn't stick, neither will the paint. Will I be ripping down paneling and hiring someone to fix the drywall? And why did people ever put up paneling anyway?
Okay. I'm trying not to have a meltdown here ... especially since it's supposed to be at least 90 out with 90% humidity today.
Will someone PLEASE reassure me that DIY projects REALLY work and that my office will turn out beautifully -- because I'm about to spaz out.
Oye. I'd never heard of the de-glosser and several years ago my husband and I painted paneling in our sun room (now my office). The good news is that it turned out well--the bad news is that it took many, many, coats of paint. Maybe 4? Or 5? I can't remember. But kudos to you for the research. Wish we had done that!
Can't say I bothered with "de-glosser" when I painted over my paneling. It wasn't particularly glossy, though. It had a couple of nasty stains, so we used Kilz primer, which was probably over the top in retrospect, but it did work.
I no longer try to DIY--I live with what I have or hire someone! Meanwhile, since you are committed (no pun intended) to this project, I'll say a little DIY prayer for you.
Laura, I've got Kilz primer, too. But the woman at Sherwin Williams was really negative about the whole project, yet I know (thanks MJ) that it can look really nice when done.
Okay, took me a while to translate DIY to Do It Yourself. My boyfriend and I painted the outside doors and windowsils a few weeks ago, and it looks good. But inside paneling? No idea. Can't you just get advise in your local paintshop? Act a little bit helpless and I am sure some guy will tell you exactly what to do.
Kilz primer is the way to go. Girlfriend has old farmhouse that had been paneled and painted every one with Kilz and then paint. Looks great. Hang in there, something will strike a bell with you and when it does....just do it.
I use Kilz all the time and it works great. Just give the paneling a quick go over with a damp cloth to make sure any grease and such is off it.
I DIY all the time.
Also, most places like Lowes and home depot have books that will translate colors from one brand into another brand (the recipe, as it were), so be sure to ask. Sherwin doesn't do that, I don't think. And be sure to post pics when you are done!!
A de-glosser coats over a gloss finish such as would be used over a stain. You can get rid of a gloss coating much cheaper and easier than using the de-glosser. Sandpaper.
I used lok-tite as a primer and 2 coats of paint...it came out great!
Do not stress the thing about paint is it can always be changed!
Diane, one wall is done (I was too chicken to attempt the whole room in case the experiment was a dud), but it came out terrific! I'm really happy. Now to do the rest of the room. Next week, I'll attack the enclosed porch which is also paneled (in VERY DARK wood--at least my office had light yellow paneling). I can't wait to move the furniture back in and hang my pictures again.
Trust me, it will be gorgeous and I hope you will share pix!
I can't understand why a good primer (like Kilz) and paint wouldn't be just fine. I agree with Ev that to wipe down the panelling first is a good idea just like it's a good idea before painting drywall - to get off dust and dirt and grime, which paint doesn't stick to. Just common sense. We always go to Benjamin Moore now because our architect likes them. We totally renovated our house a couple years ago painting every wall, inside and out. It'll be fine. Let us know what colors you choose.

Vietnam economic slump yet to hit bottom: experts
By Minh Son &nbspJuly 1, 2020 | 12:55 am PT

Dampening economic figures in H1 might not be the worst figures for Vietnam this year as challenges remain in the last six months.
Vietnam's GDP growth in the first half fell to a decade-low of 1.81 percent, showing the economy has been severely hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
"The plummeting figures might not be the worst for this year. They could be worse in the third quarter without a breakthrough in economic activities," said Nguyen Khac Bao, head of the Finance Department at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City.
A rising number of large companies terminating employee contracts in June show they are scaling down operations in the second half of the year, he said.
Taiwanese footwear maker Pouyuen Vietnam, the largest employer in Ho Chi Minh City, has let 2,786 workers go after the Covid-19 pandemic hit new orders. Besides, Hue Phong Footwear Jsc has cut its workforce of 4,600 by half while Woodworth Wooden Industries Vietnam laid off 2,000 workers.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused 7.8 million workers to lose their jobs or have their working hours reduced, according to the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.
Bao said although companies are boosting domestic travel, the shortage of international tourists with deeper pockets will still be a major hinderance to a quick recovery of tourism and aviation in the second half.
This could be the worst year for Vietnam's economy since it opened its doors to other countries in 1986, he said, adding there are still too many uncertainties to forecast when the economy would recover.
Pham The Anh, chief economist at the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR), said major challenges remain in the last six months as the global market is still impacted by the pandemic.
Vietnam's trade turnover in the first six months fell 2.1 percent year-on-year to $238.4 billion, in which exports dropped 1.1 percent and imports by 3 percent. This ends over a decade of trade turnover growth.
Anh said as an economy fostering open trade, Vietnam could not remain immune to global downturns when its major trade partners, the U.S., the E.U. and China have all been severely hit by the pandemic.
He added although public investment is expected to help boost growth, disbursement of the state coffers in the first half only met 33 percent of this year's target.
The government has made efforts to revive the economy, but experts say policies need to be more relevant.
The National Assembly has approved a corporate income tax reduction of 6 percentage points, but Anh said if businesses are able to be profitable this year, they do not really need the tax break.
Workers, however, are most vulnerable during this time, but plans to provide financial support have not reached them due to red tape and municipal authorities avoiding responsibility in disbursing the money, he added.
The World Bank has earlier forecast Vietnam's GDP growth could fall to 1.5 percent this year, against 7.02 percent in 2019.
Last year, the economic expansion hit 7.02 percent, the second highest growth figure in the last decade, after a record 7.08 percent in 2018, according to government data.

Air strikes thought to be conducted by the Saudi-led coalition have hit a hospital's entrance, fishing port and fish market in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, killing scores.
A source at Hodeidah's health office told Middle East Eye that 55 people were killed in the strikes, with more than 100 wounded. Both figures are likely to rise as the situation becomes clearer.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Twitter it was sending medical equipment to al-Thawra Hospital to treat those in critical condition following the attack.
The hospital said in a tweet that a strike targeted its main gate, leaving dozens of casualties, while Houthi-run Saba news agency said 40 were killed in the hospital strike.
Staff working for Save the Children, which runs a diphtheria treatment centre in the hospital, described the situation aftert the strikes as "chaos".
Despite the Houthis' lack of an air force, the Saudi-led coalition laid the blame at the rebels' door, and insisted it was not behind the strike.
"The coalition did not carry out any operations in Hodeidah today," the coalition spokesman, Colonel Turki al-Malki, told Al-Arabiya television. "The Houthi militia are behind killing of civilians in Hodeidah on Thursday," he said.
Pro-Yemeni government activists and media accused the Houthis of targeting the civilians with ballistic missiles, but residents in the rebel-held city told MEE that they heard the buzzing of warplanes.
Meanwhile, the United Nations said it will invite the parties involved in Yemen's conflict for talks on 6 September.
UN Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths told the UN Security Council that "a political solution" to end the war in Yemen is "available" and urged world powers to support the new push for peace negotiations.
"These consultations will provide the opportunity for the parties, among other things, to discuss the framework for negotiations, relevant confidence-building measures and specific plans for moving the process forward," said Griffiths.
On Tuesday, the Houthis said they were unilaterally halting attacks in the Red Sea for two weeks to support peace efforts.
This came a few days after Saudi Arabia suspended oil exports through a strategic Red Sea channel, amid Houthi attacks on crude tankers on 25 July.
About 70 percent of Yemen's food imports flow through Hodeidah port; about 8.4 million Yemenis are said by aid workers to be on the verge of starvation.
On 13 June, Saudi Arabia and its allies in a pro-government coalition launched a major offensive to retake Hodeidah. Fighting around the port has raised UN fears of a new humanitarian catastrophe in a country already at the brink of famine and a deadly cholera epidemic.
On Friday, the UN's World Health Organisation said Yemen may be on the brink of a new cholera epidemic, with greater chance of a high death rate due to widespread malnutrition.
"We're calling on all parties to the conflict … for three full days of tranquility and to lay down arms to allow us to vaccinate the civilian population for cholera," WHO emergency response chief Peter Salama said.

We all know that we should be more active, but is it sitting down for too long that is causing us some serious health problems?
Research suggests that staying seated for too long is bad for your health, no matter how much exercise you do.
Sitting down for too long is thought to slow down your metabolism, which affects the body's ability to regulate blood sugar, blood pressure and break down body fat.
A large proportion of adults spend over seven hours a day sitting down or lying. This could include but isn't restricted to: watching television, using a computer, reading, doing work, travelling by car, bus or train.
49% increase in death from any cause.
How much sitting is too much?
There is a lot of advice out there about how long you should be sat down for each day, but to reduce our risk of health problems, we should be exercising regularly. It is recommended that we should exercise at least 150 minutes each week. The more time you spend sitting down, the more harmful it will be to your overall health.
There are however limiting factors with this research. Although we know that living a sedentary lifestyle can be dangerous, it doesn't necessarily take into account contributing factors like alcohol consumption, smoking and diet.
The NHS suggests that adults aged 19-64 are advised to try and sit down less throughout the day, including at work, whilst travelling and when at home.
Set yourself a reminder to get up every 30 minutes to an hour.
Try to swap some time in front of the television with more active tasks or hobbies.
If your job means that you sit down at a desk for long periods of time each day, then why not try some exercises. Try the leg raise: sit in your chair, extend one leg out in front and hold. Raise it as high as possible before holding. You should then repeat, alternating legs about 15 times.
Movement in general is important. The muscle activity needed for standing and other movements will trigger processes related to breaking down sugars and fats. If you sit for long periods of time then these processes stall, and health risks are likely to increase.
We're in control of how much time we spend sitting down. These stats speak for themselves. Why not take every opportunity you can to do that little bit more exercise in your day to day life. Don't take your car for short trips, take the stairs more or even reduce time watching the television. It could be a lifesaver!

Sabinsa Corporation Granted Fourth Patent on Bioperine®
May 10, 2000 PISCATAWAY, NJ – Sabinsa Corporation has been granted its fourth patent on* Bioperine®, a proprietary ingredient which has been clinically shown to increase the bio availability of nutritional supplements, thus making them more effective. US patent #6,054,585 was awarded April 25, 2000. The new patent awarded to Sabinsa is a process patent, explaining how the material is made and protecting Sabinsa's patent rights. Previous patents insured Sabinsa exclusive rights to offer piperine, the active compound in Bioperine® extracted from black pepper, regardless of its source, for use in nutritional compounds. Practically speaking, this means that no one can legally market or sell piperine for nutritional compounds except Sabinsa or its designated licensees. The only clinical studies done with piperine for nutritional purposes are with Bioperine®.
Please contact Sabinsa Corporation for more information in New Jersey at 732-777-1111 or in Utah at 801-465-8400.

Sabinsa Corporation Granted Third Patent on Bioperine®
Bioavailability Enhancing Phytonutrient
PISCATAWAY, NJ — Sabinsa Corporation has been granted a third patent on Bioperine®, the proprietary ingredient which has been clinically shown to increase the bio availibility of nutritional supplements, thus making them more effective.
This US patent, # 5,972,382, was granted October 26, 1999. Previous patents are US patent #5,536,506, granted July 16, 1996, and US patent # 5,744,161, granted April 28, 1998.
Piperine is the active compound extracted from black pepper which is responsible for Bioperine's bioavailability enhancing properties in nutritional compounds. The patents awarded to Sabinsa grant the company the exclusive right to offer piperine, regardless of its source, for use in nutritional compounds. Practically speaking, this means that no one can legally market or sell piperine for nutritional compounds except Sabinsa or its designated licensees.
The only clinical studies done with piperine for nutritional purposes are with Bioperine®. Bioperine® is the only piperine compound clinically tested for safety and efficacy. Recent studies include a March 1999 in the Nutrition Research Journal: Piperine Increases Serum Response Of Beta-Carotene During 14 Days of Oral Beta Carotene Supplementation. Another study confirmed for publication in early 2000 will appear in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry on CoQ10 and Bioperine®.
Bioperine® was designed to address the problem of limited nutrient bioavailability, which may be caused by a variety of conditions such as old age, limited diet choices or a compromised gastrointestinal tract. "The usual way these conditions are compensated for involved increased dosage. Bioperine® provides an alternative method for improving nutritional status by increasing the amount of nutrients absorbed by the body." There are a number of companies offering finished products that include Bioperine®. Sabinsa requires that a licensing agreement be executed with each marketing company prior to selling Bioperine®, and that the ingredient logo appear on the label to help consumers identify products containing Bioperine®.

Sabinsa Obtains emergency injunction against alchem International in Patent Infringement case at Supplyside East
Secaucus, NJ – For the first time, a foreign company engaging in alleged Intellectual Property (IP) theft at a dietary supplements industry trade show has been stopped in its tracks.
Sabinsa Corporation, known for vigorously protecting its IP, obtained an emergency injunction from the United States District Court against Alchem International, Ltd. when it was observed that the company was offering to sell products which infringed upon two of Sabinsa's patented ingredients, Forslean® and Bioperine® , at SupplySide East in Secaucus NJ.
According to Mark C. Sysler, Sabinsa's Sr. EVP for Marketing and Sales, defending a company's Intellectual Property against some foreign patent infringers is a struggle. These companies will attend or exhibit at a trade show, offer to sell ingredients that are protected by a US patent, and leave the country before action can be taken by the patent holder. They then follow up on those leads from overseas and it is difficult to pursue legal action against them.
In this case, Sysler went before US district Judge Pisano on Tuesday May 6, 2003, just after the trade show opened. The judge issued a temporary order restraining Alchem from:
"1. Infringing Sabinsa 's United States patent no. 5,804,596 either directly, contributorily or by inducement, by importing, using, making, selling or offering to sell any coleus forskohlii extract in a concentration of 3% or greater, specifically including any sale, advertising, promotion, display or mention of the products at the Supply Side East trade show presently taking place at the Meadowlands Exposition center in Secaucus New Jersey and
2. from infringing Sabinsa 's United States patent no. 5,972,382 either directly, contributorily or by inducement, by importing, using, making, selling or offering to sell any piperine extract from black pepper in any concentration, specifically including any sale, advertising, promotion, display or mention of the products at the Supply Side East trade show presently taking place at the Meadowlands Exposition center in Secaucus New Jersey."

L'IMPERO DEL SOLE
Enrico Gras, Mario Craveri
Auditorium - DAMSLab
Documents and documentaries
Gras and Craveri's L'impero del sole is a fairly successful film, which manages to alternate moments of pure poetry (digressions, one could say) with more lively and dramatic moments in which people's lives are narrated through carefully selected sequences. However, the real character of the Peruvian people remains a mystery … When L'impero del sole ends, we would like to see still more, given that the amazing bullfight with the condor at the very end fills us with joy and enthusiasm. We would like to know more about these people, indifferent to both struggle and joy, who react only to the exuberance of sex and excitation. But even so, the images in this film are wonderful. Craveri has given us a wealth of them: wide and incredibly airy images of woods, lands, deserts and seas; skies full of thousands and thousands of birds; tall and rocky mountains; and, in a bullring full of dust, sweat and passion, he has shown us the most tragic of struggles in which a condor slowly exhausts an infuriated bull. The condor represents the people of the Andes and the bull, Spanish domination. At the end of the fight, the condor returns to the skies, taking with it hopes and desires. The Sunday depicted by the film seems to be at an end; but by this point, we would like the week to begin anew.
Edoardo Bruno, "Filmcritica", n. 62-63, September-October 1956
In this film, compared to previous similar ones, we have tried to get closer to man, to go deeper into his folklore to capture its most intimate significance and human value. There is more of an investigation, more research. We didn't simply go into the street and limit ourselves to filming what we saw there. We saw things and then studied them, before deciding what to put into the film. You can capture scenes like this, in secret, but not entire sequences. There is always a minimum of performance, because it involves recreation, and therefore choice and synthesis, discarding that which does not interest us in order to make other things more evident. The things you see in the film are not invented. Nothing is invented. Interpreted, yes; presented from our point-of-view, but real.

Q: Etsy API pagination - Don't know how to access to other pages So, I had issue because I don't have OAuth 1, so to access to ETSY API I had to struggle.
finally I have this :
My function __construct() :
parent::__construct();
    $this->allowForUser();
    $this->etsyDb = new EtsyordersModel;

    $this->client = new Etsy([
        'identifier'            =>      getApp()->getConfig('identifier'),
        'secret'                =>      getApp()->getConfig('secret'),
        'scope'                 =>      'listings_r transactions_r',
        'callback_uri'          =>      'http://*****-*****.loc/etsyapp/next',
        'access_token'          =>      getApp()->getConfig('access_token'),
        'access_token_secret'   =>      getApp()->getConfig('access_token_secret'),
    ]);

And here is how I get the url to access my JSON with the result :
        $key = rawurlencode($oauthtoken) . "&" . rawurlencode($tokensecret);

        $method = "GET";
        $baseurl = "https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/shops/24749672/receipts/";
        $nonce = "1234";
        $timenow = time();
        $oauthversion = '1.0';

        $paramstring = "oauth_consumer_key=" . $oauthconsumerkey . "&oauth_nonce=" . $nonce . "&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1" . "&oauth_timestamp=" . $timenow . "&oauth_token=" . $clientsecret .  "&oauth_version=" . $oauthversion;

        //
        // Signature GET to retrieve signature OAuth
        $encodeurl = $method . "&" . rawurlencode($baseurl) . "&" . rawurlencode($paramstring);

        $signature = hash_hmac( 'sha1', $encodeurl, $key, TRUE );
        $signature = base64_encode( $signature );

        // url JSON shop ETSY
        $curlurl = $baseurl . "?" . $paramstring . "&oauth_signature=" . $signature;

        // get JSON content in $orders
        $orders = file_get_contents($curlurl);

And so I get my JSON :

I got 90++ items, but because of the pagination, it show me only 25 items.
I tried to add active?limit=100&offset=0 to my $baseurl (at the end of it, as parameter for signature calculation) but it say oauth_problem=signature_invalid&. I tried to put it on the $paramstring
instead, but same result.
How can I have all my result shown, or how can I access to page 2, 3, etc... of the pagination?
I am on PHP 7.4, XAMPP (one of the last version), I don't have OAuth 1 so I used a combination of package Y0lk\OAuth1 and thephpleague\oauth1-client.
Thank you for your time.

The conference, the annual gathering for Georgia's official theater organization, will draw about 2,000 participants to the University of North Georgia's (UNG) Gainesville Campus, Brenau University and Gainesville Square.
The Gainesville Theatre Alliance (GTA) will host the 51st annual Georgia Theatre Conference (GTC) in Gainesville Oct. 14-18.
The conference, the annual gathering for Georgia's official theater organization, will draw about 2,000 participants to the University of North Georgia's (UNG) Gainesville Campus, Brenau University and Gainesville Square. GTA is a nationally acclaimed collaboration of UNG, Brenau, theater professionals and the north Georgia community.
"This is the first time in 10 years that GTA has hosted the conference," said Jim Hammond, head of UNG's Department of Theater and artistic and managing director of GTA. "We're excited to be able to offer up this year's theme as 'Go Pro,' borrowing the popular camera name to help conference attendees know that studying theater does translate into jobs."
In addition to high school students and their teachers, conference-goers will include college-level theater students and professors, theater professionals and novice enthusiasts.
The workshop line-up will include several panels of Atlanta-area performance and technical artists discussing their career paths, and there will be "pop up" interviews on a few small stages, where individual artists will share their education and career paths and answer questions.
The featured keynotes are Broadway actors (and husband and wife) Ray and Jodi Benson, of Hall County. Ray toured with the Broadway national tour of "Oklahoma!" and performed the Gene Kelly role in Broadway's "Singin' in the Rain", and Jodi was nominated for a Tony Award for originating the leading role in "Crazy for You," and is known internationally as the beloved, original voice of Ariel, Walt Disney's "The Little Mermaid," and as the bubbly voice of Barbie in Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story 2" and "Toy Story 3."
The Bensons, who are devoted to education, will meet with Georgia drama teachers during the conference and teach a master class.
In addition to workshops, the conference also offers the opportunity for attendees to perform and audition for the chance to represent Georgia at next spring's Southeastern Theatre Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Established in 1965, the Georgia Theatre Conference mission is to encourage and coordinate a close relationship among the community, educational and professional theaters in Georgia; to aid in maintaining the highest possible quality of live theater; and to promote and facilitate education in varied phases of theater. Membership is open to all individuals and groups.
"This presents a great opportunity for local business, as well as for the UNG theater department, to showcase what makes our community so dynamic," Hammond said.

Dr. Tedd V. Ellerbrock of CDC received the SAMMIES' Career Achievement award
Service to America Medals Awarded to Three HHS Employees
One is a CDC doctor who has spent his career expanding and improving access to medicine to millions of people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS. Two are FDA employees who helped speed regulatory approval for a break-through medical device that helps people with type 1 diabetes manage their disease.
These three Health and Human Services employees were among 11 federal workers last week who were awarded the Partnership for Public Service's Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals exit disclaimer icon. The awards, also known as the SAMMIES, are named for the Partnership for Public Service's late founder who was inspired by President Kennedy's call to serve in 1963. The Partnership is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization whose goal is to help make the federal government more effective.
The three HHS honorees are:
Dr. Tedd V. Ellerbrock, Chief of the HIV Care and Treatment Branch at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, received the SAMMIES' Career Achievement award;
Courtney Lias, Director of the Food and Drug Administration's Division of Chemistry and Toxicology Devices, and Stayce Beck, Chief of the Diabetes Diagnostic Devices Branch, and the FDA Artificial Pancreas Team exit disclaimer icon received the Management Excellence award.
According to the Partnership, Ellerbrock was "one of the key players" behind the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), an initiative launched in 2003 by the administration of President George W. Bush. Ellerbrock was credited with scaling up the system to deliver medicine to developing countries, build international partnerships, and oversee evaluations in more than two dozen countries to identify problems and recommend solutions.
In a video for the Partnership, Ellerbrock spoke of how while he was with the Peace Corps in the Philippines, he had an epiphany about what he wanted for a career—he wanted to provide modern medicine to developing countries.
"You become a doctor to try to make a difference in peoples' lives, to save lives. This effort, thanks to the generosity of the U.S. government and its people … we are saving millions of lives," Ellerbrock said.
Dr. Shannon Hader, Director of the CDC's Division of Global HIV and Tuberculosis, said in a statement for the Partnership, "He did something that had never been done before. He figured out how to roll out safe and effective treatment programs in developing countries."
The Partnership said the FDA's Lias and Beck were honored for their work for individuals living with diabetes, by transforming "a slow and cumbersome process to review and approve breakthrough medical devices like the artificial pancreas," three years earlier than expected.
For the 1.2 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes who must constantly monitor their blood sugar level and determine the correct amount of insulin to take, this device could be life-changing, according to medical experts and patient advocates.
"This is an incredible milestone. To have a system automatically dose insulin is massive. And it opens the door to tons of possibilities," Aaron Kowalski, chief mission officer for JDRF, an advocacy group for people with type 1 diabetes, said in a statement to the Partnership.
Lias and Beck treated industry, doctors and hospitals and patient advocacy groups as partners, making sure everyone had a voice and that manufacturers had a clear understanding of what documentation would be needed, how the clinical trials should be designed and how patient testing of the device could be made safer.
"Prior to their intervention," the Partnership said, "clinical investigators had to go through multiple rounds of reviews before they could start a clinical trial on systems like the one [the artificial pancreas] that Medtronic developed. Lias created a special team and timeline to expedite the clinical trials. The FDA team also worked with Medtronic to speed up the process by reviewing the device component by component, rather than wait until the entire system was complete."
The Partnership notes that federal employees like Ellerbrock, Lias and Beck are responsible for many special accomplishments that are seldom recognized, let alone celebrated. Deserving of their honors, Ellerbrock, Lias and Beck also represent the excellence of their colleagues at HHS.
