In August, this far north, the nights are long and bright. Even at 8pm in the evening it was light enough for us to eat our entire meal outside. Warm enough? That was a different matter. However, I was not about to let my beautiful harbour-side view be spoiled by temperature.
Nokka is the kind of restaurant that introduces each dish and its various components to you. However, it still maintains the standard number of sizes and courses. No ten-course tiny-truffle nonsense to be found here.
I start with the reindeer tartar that comes with some deep-fried lichen. As Elina points out, there is something deliciously odd about eating an animal, and the animal's favourite food, at the same time.
Every item on the plate is carefully crafted and provides a unique and interesting flavour.
My main comes with pork served two ways and a selection of vegetable styles that adds variety. Elina starts with the bream mousse and then moves on to the beef which proves similarly pleasing.
We round the meal off with a carrot parfait and a raw chocolate cake. I am not always a fan of dark chocolate but this works superbly, especially when accompanied by the strawberry sorbet.
This is the best meal I have had in Finland. It is also by far the most expensive. Treat yourself, and sit outside.

Posted on May 27, 2018 by Tim Kuefler
A distinct sound. A fun time. Something for everyone. That's what this album offers.
Brent Cobb – Providence Canyon
******** 8/10
Brent Cobb is an American singer, songwriter and musician who plays country music tinged with Americana, southern rock and outlaw leanings. To-date, he has released three studio albums – No Place Left to Leave (2006) Shine on Rainy Day (2016) and Providence Canyon (2018). Now if you are wondering why the gap between his first album, and his second album, it's because No Place Left to Leave was recorded on the Beverly Martel label with his established producer cousin Dave Cobb.
During this space of time, Cobb moved to Nashville in 2008, landed a songwriting contract with Carnival Music Publishing, and began writing for prominent artists. Namely, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney and a whole host of others. When he released an EP in 2012, he was able to leverage it into performances opening for Blake Shelton, Sara Evans, and other well-known artists. And then Cobb landed a spot on Dave Cobb's compilation record Southern Family. When he finally got onto major label Low Country Sound, he was able to release a major studio record, earning himself a Grammy Nomination and deserved attention.
How's that for exposition?
Now let's consider his third record, Providence Canyon.
This album continues the trend of overt Americana notes, and has a distinct conversational tone, often focusing on where he's been, where he's going and what he loves about his hometown. Filled to the brim with details about old rifles, fallen friends, and monetizing the freedom of the road, Cobb is just as comfortable crooning about red clay walls (Providence Canyon) as he is reflecting on his time with Willie Nelson (Come Home Soon), and there is a spirituality contained in each track to boot.
Of course there are songs like Mornin's Gonna Come and Sucker For A Good Time that focus primarily on sleeping around and the consequences of it, like say the reality of running into the girls boyfriend the morning after. Another common theme to be sure, but his presentation has a great indie country flavour, and fits in perfectly with the overall tone of the album.
Another great track is his ode to Wayne Mills, and the first single of the album. King of Alabama is a particularly eclectic tribute to his late comrade and yet another reminder of where Cobb comes from. Which as mentioned features strongly throughout the whole record, but I think it's less of a thematic tool and more a demonstration of his character and what he cares about.
When we get into the final song, Ain't A Road Too Long, it's been quite a journey. But Cobb doesn't pull his punches here either. This is probably one of my favourite songs as it is an especially haunting exploration about what happens when you life a life on the road. The natural ups and downs, but more importantly, the way an escape form becomes a job.
These are gritty stories that manage to work well across Cobb's already established choice musical styles, and there is even some funk found in the middle of the album with .30-06. Yet another great track that talks about a wife's infidelity and a jealous threat using a classic hunting rifle as weapon of choice. That said, I'm also partial to High In The Country and Lorene as they call back to 1970s outlaw country.
Pros: It sets the bar even higher then his last album did, and save a couple weaker tracks, it is a really solid listening experience. King of Alabama and Ain't A Road Too Long are great 2018 summer songs.
Cons: For whatever reason, the backing vocals and the tone of both If I Don't See Ya and When The Dust Settles are a little mundane for me, and don't have any staying power.
Points of Interest: …
This is the kind of album that is immediately enjoyable, but also bears some weight as you spend more time with it, giving it a natural progression and lots of layers to unpeel. But that is the way that Brent Cobb writes, he's happy to share intricacies of his life, if it means a more intricate song can come out of the labour. Yes, these are well-worn themes, but what makes them inspired comes from the delivery method, Cobb focuses on things he cares about, and so that makes them interesting to the casual listener.
theories Summarized
Okay here are my final thoughts.
If a musician can open up for Chris Stapleton and still retain their stage presence, then that is an artist worth listening to. That, and super producer Dave Cobb is the voice behind both artists. Brent Cobb's Providence Canyon is an album of both internal and external geography, and it never sounds preachy on either front. A definite add to your collection.
And speaking of solo artists who just don't know how to quit what they know, Brendon and I have a Sound Culture video on Caribou's The Milk of Human Kindness. Dan Snaith is a mathematician, composer and musician that makes electronic music to melt your ears to.
And if you like either of these album reviews or both of them, please like and share the video, and of course, please subscribe to the blog and channel for more awesome theories on the arts! Tomorrow I have some thoughts on Batman Ninja.
Good Vibrations (Leon Bridges, Good Thing review)
As a collector of good music, it's incredibly satisfying when a bid continues to pay off. Despite all of the odds telling me that the music well can only dig so deep before coming up dry. Luckily for me, Leon Bridges planted more derricks and is establishing his reputation. It's a Good Thing.
Leon Bridges – Good Thing
released May 4, 2018
Todd Michael "Leon" Bridges is now 28 years old. I reviewed his 2015 album Coming Home, almost exactly two years ago. I love that kind of symmetry in life, it's poetic when things work out good, and it's a good thing. Good Thing is also the name of Bridges sophomore effort and like his previous work, it's full of soul, gospel, R&B and blues influences.
The major difference you'll hear between his two albums is the production value, but that doesn't mean that one is better then the other. Coming Home is something of a time capsule (read: recorded with vintage equipment), whereas Good Thing feels a lot more like Bridges falling in with the times, though the times are represented by several decades rather then just the sixties. That, and he is proving yet again he knows how to pull on our heart strings. But where Coming Home was cohesive and distinct, this record is more of an exploration, one that still flows in and out of tracks well.
Not everything on the album works perfectly, with a couple of tracks in the middle softening the ambience, but I bet if you listened to this half a dozen times you wouldn't know which ones I am referring to without some consideration. Proving yet again, that Mr. Bridges deserves his Mrs. and I am thankful that he included a closing track that gets the juices flowing.
The first four songs are particularly entertaining, and rightly so given that Bridges stays within his established zone for them, and Bet Ain't Worth the Hand, Bad Bad News, and Beyond are also singles that play more like A tracks then B ones. When we get to the end of the album, you have to wonder where the past 34 minutes went, but luckily enough, hitting repeat is a simple solution.
Shy could be an anthem for me, for you and for anyone that's ever felt a bit inhibited in life – a problem quickly solved with some liquid courage and a gentle guitar. It's a solid nod to the 1990s and the production chops of Danger Mouse.
Be still, my beating heart.
Now we get into the meat of the album, and this is where it gets gooey an a little soft. Forgive You and Lions are both free of the past, and they sound like something contemporaries Pharell, Bruno Mars and Sharon Jones would make, with smooth tempos and jazz samples. But then you get You Don't Know and If It Feels Good (Then It Must Be) and I have to wonder what happened, because those tracks sound a bit more like drafts then final cuts.
I personally think he needs to continue to explore the sounds of the 1950s and 60s, and draw in the new when possible, but this is a good start to something more mature.
Pros: As previously mentioned, Mrs. is the biggest surprise of the record, it's got depth, breadth and some sauce. But Georgia to Texas is solid runner up for my favourite song and a beautiful tribute to Leon's mother.
Cons: I already mentioned how If It Feels Good, and You Don't Know feel rather simplistic and raw in their presentation, and it doesn't matter how wrapped they are in 80's synth, catchy isn't necessarily good either. And man is You Don't Know a catchy song.
Points of Interest: Good Thing debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. It is the second album to be produced by Columbia records and Ricky Reed, who has worked with Meghan Trainor, had a major hand in the album.
Crooning is a difficult game, and while I can appreciate the fact that black artists who dabble in the past need to represent their forefathers with care, it's not exclusively their responsibility either, and Leon Bridges doesn't exactly need a reminder of what soul music means, he wouldn't be able to make it without some pain.
And that's a Good Thing. But in all seriousness, I think this a really solid album and have no hesitations in recommending you take a listen or five. It's a more adventurous outting to be sure, but Bridges has taken it upon himself to demonstrate that he understands the history of the music he references, and is layering more into the lyrics.
Love, religion, family, and personal battles all feature with great tenderness.
One sophomore album review not enough for you creative cuties? How about this recommendation of Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem? It's a really great record and features all of the absurdity and comedy you've come to love from the New York group, but with a maturity that was expressed on their self-titled effort. I think you'll like it too.
Gotta Have It! (Young Fathers, Cocoa Sugar review)
I'm reminded of this skit from Aziz Ansari in a film called Funny People. He heads on stage to a midsized bar crowd and announces that Cold Stone Creamery is an incredibly fucked up place. People picks sizes called, Like It, Love It, and Gotta Have It! It's like picking ice cream for recovering drug addicts.
But sometimes that's how we feel about things we really like, it's a sugar spike, and the crash is oh so worth it.
Young Fathers – Cocoa Sugar
Young Fathers are a Scottish band that simply cannot be classified. A three piece act, Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and Graham 'G' Hastings formed the group in 2008 after spending a ton of time together at clubs and challenging rap expectations. They love to explore social dynamics, as the title of the album would suggest. Many people have tried to fit them into multiple genres, but the truth is that they are willing to use lo-fi, soul, R&B, hip hop, dubstep, industrial, and pop to various effects in creating what has now become their unique brand of music. But Cocoa Sugar is a little more refined.
That, and they've switched to a higher fidelity sound. So that's cool and sweet.
I'll stop with the puns now.
Cocoa Sugar is their third studio album, and what's incredible about it, is that not only has their sound actually improved from sophomore album White Men Are Black Men Too, but it's also surpassed their genius debut Dead. I say this with both shock and awe – when many had thought that by revising their vision, it would dampen the music of Young Fathers, myself included.
But the sequencing is well considered, and overall the tracks gel incredibly well together. Now, unfortunately, some of the tracks do feel more like instrumental openers then anything (looking at you See How, Fee Fi, Wow and Wire), but that's a minor loss for an enigmatic and charming disc. This album is entirely more accessible they've done before, choosing to focus on symbolism about biblical themes and political ones, but the politics never feel overt nor obnoxiously stated.
As I mentioned the religious themes, I also want to add that there are some more universal tracks too. In My View is the catchiest and easily most relatable song on the album, telling the story of a miser who is grossly rich and regrets his quest for power. It may be the second single from the album, but it works just as well as the quasi gospel song, Lord, which was released in the fall of 2017.
There is freedom in Cocoa Sugar, much like previous Young Father projects, but what I loved the most about it, is that it gets better and better on repeated listens.
Pros: There is an incredible and powerful focus in the vocals, lyrics and melodic choices, and if you are into off-kilter music with gospel tinged tips then In My View, Lord, Border Girl, and Holy Ghost will give you some sweet affection.
Cons: Fee Fi is a little too repetitive and can become grating to listen to, which made me wish it wasn't included, but then there are also other songs with shorter track lengths that suffer, not because you strain while listening, but because the music builds up, starts to resonate, and then abruptly stops.
Points of Interest: In 2014, they won the Mercury Prize for their debut album Dead. Bankole and Hastings are Edinburgh born and raised, while Massaquoi was born in Liberia and moved to Edinburgh at age four.
Released on the Ninja Tune label back in March, Cocoa Sugar is one of the shorter albums I've listened to so far this year, and if it's not clear yet, let me be more plain. My major disappointment with it, is how short it feels, but when we get songs, they are amazing to behold.
It's artists like Young Fathers, and their contemporaries The Weeknd, 3T, Micachu, and Foreign Beggars that live on the fringes. Their music makes a difference and informs the choices of more popular music to try new things, to experiment in the lab and come up with something appealing to digest. It might not be for everyone, but if you have a sweet tooth, my theory is that Cocoa Sugar is a great treat.
And speaking of treats, have you heard the new MGMT? I already did a written review of it, but in case you mssed that, here is a video endorsement from Brendon and I. There's something incredibly appealing about dark pop right now, and these dudes are dialed into it.
And if you like either of these album reviews or both of them, please like and share the video, and of course, please subscribe to the blog and channel for more awesome theories on the arts.
Compatriot Music (Mary Gauthier, Rifles & Rosary Beads review)
Posted on April 25, 2018 by Tim Kuefler
An album that addresses the lives of active military members, veterans and their spouses? Sign me up. But don't be surprised if I'm choking back the tears…
Mary Gauthier – Rifles & Rosary Beads
********* 9/10
Mary Veronica Gauthier, better known by her stage name Mary Gauthier, is an American folk and country singer-songwriter.
She was adopted from the very young age of one, but struggled with the idea of being adopted as she grew up. She ran way from home at fifteen, lived on friends couches and in halfway houses, and used drugs for many years. She almost completed a philosophy degree at Louisiana State University, but dropped out her senior year. She then opened and ran a Cajun restaurant for eleven years, which coincided with the birth of her interest in music and success at sobriety after an arrest for drunk driving on her restaurant opening night in 1990.
Fast forward 28 years, 11 albums (8 studio albums) later and a lifetime of experience singing a combination of folk, Americana and country music and we land at Rifles & Rosary Beads. This is a collaborative album which was cowritten by Gauthier and members of the nonprofit, Songwriting with Soldiers, an organization that pairs veterans and active duty service members with professional musicians to tell their stories.
Sometimes healing and sweet, other times sour and full of pain, this album is super powerful and deserves top marks for telling meaningful stories in a poetic way. I'll admit I had not heard much of Gauthier's catalogue prior to sitting down with this concept album, but gosh this just incredible to listen to, and I'm a sucker for this kind of music to begin with. Add in a favorable mix of genres, and you have timotheories gold.
Starting off rather sober with the opening track, Soldiering On, this lyric I lifted from the song describes the tone well – what saves you in the battle, can kill you at home. Or better yet, how about this one from The War After the War – who's gonna care for the ones who care for the ones who went to war. Gauthier is already a strong writer, but these are real stories we are hearing, featuring the voices of both the military types and their spouses, and all get credit in the liner notes.
Brothers describes a viewpoint of military women looking for equality, whereas Bullet Holes in Sky offers mixed emotions about Veterans Day from a navy veteran. And we get the obvious question of circumstantial death in Still On The Ride because the loss of a friend in war is unshakeable and reverberates for a lifetime.
This is not easy listening, but that doesn't mean it isn't beautiful to behold and when layered with a great number of profound and heartfelt stories, Gauthier provides a chilling account of military service and how it impacts everyone in those peoples lives.
This is an important album and filled with love.
The two tracks which exemplify this notion of love best are It's Her Love and closing track Stronger Together. Both are titled appropriately, with the first demonstrating the healing power of a support system, and the second about the significance of unity, leaving us with the notion that while military life can and sometimes does break us down, it's through compassion and love that rebuilding happens.
Pros: The authenticity behind the lyrics, and the compassion in the delivery are what drive this album forward and take it from a 7 to a 9.
Cons: The fact that an album like this exists is an amazing thing, but where are the songs specifically calling out against sending people off to war with so much regularity?
Points of Interest: Mary Gauthier is also an accomplished author, having had short stories published in the book Amplified, and a couple of magazines. Her songs are taught in universities and she is currently writing a book titled The Art of Songwriting.
I've said this before, but I cannot stress enough the importance of listening to albums in full, and an album like Rifles & Rosary Beads demands attention, because these stories are what not only snapshots into individual lives, but excellent case studies for understanding the world around us better.
Prioritizing the needs of those without a voice is such a folk music thing to do, as folk music typically stems from an oral tradition, without a producers voice or even better in a public domain. Now, this music wasn't constructed in the back woods, but it absolutely is not commercial in nature or classic, and it's brilliant.
And on the subject of brilliance, Brendon and I have a review of the eponymous debut of alt rock group Weezer from 1994. This is a classic album, and one that also deserves some time and attention if you haven't listened to it recently, or ever.
The Most Critical Hour (Kacey Musgraves, Golden Hour review)
Did you know that the golden hour is the first hour after a traumatic injury, and the reason why it's called this, is that it's often the most critical for successful treatment in emergency situations.
Now, I don't think that's what Kacey Musgraves intended with her album title, but it still holds significance given that this album is worth a critical listen, whether you are a music critic or not. It's almost like a first look at the world after a life-changing event.
Kacey Musgraves – Golden Hour
Kacey Lee Musgraves, better known by her stage name, Kacey Musgraves, is an American country music singer and songwriter. Like many popular country artists today, Kacey is a seasoned professional who has been performing for the better part of twelve years – Golden Hour is her third studio album, following three years after Pageant Material, and her first with MCA Nashville.
She has been met with generally positive reviews on all three of her albums, but Golden Hour is the first album that has ranked at over 90% on review aggregator Metacritic. The consensus seems to be that it's a great record because her vocal range is quite high and very appealing, and not to mention the fact that while many of the songs are very saccharine, but most importantly there is a sincerity in the dream world she is constructing, and it deviates from typical country fare..
I think it's great that the Butterflies and Space Cowboy are the first singles. They represent all of the high notes this album wants to hit, and then the rest of the album goes on to prove it over and over again. If you listen to Mother and/or Rainbow you might just be moved to tears. Both of them are positive songs, one about the heritage of motherhood and the other speaking out to minority groups (read: LGBTQ youth).
This is not the type of content you see in mainstream country, it's atmospheric, and generally just lovely to listen to, but because it's not ham-fisted with it's content, it feels better to sing along to a song about a woman giving her lover the space to be independant, for the right or the wrong.
Pros: Space Cowboy, High Horse, Slow Burn and Wonder Woman all almost instantly appealed to me purely as melodies, and upon subsequent listens their lyrics have grown on me to the point that I'm reciting them back to myself. Her vocalist work is just so good.
Cons: While the content is interesting for a pop country album, it does soften the country sound purely to appeal to non-country fans. And it was even mentioned in all of the marketing of the album. And in the process… well, it doesn't blend in other genres so much as it dials back on the country tones. And the expected sassiness isn't really there, which might be difficult to accept for existing Kacey Musgrave fans.
Points of Interest: As I already mentioned, this album has widespread universal acclaim from most critics, having debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200. It's primarily about the "golden hour" of Musgraves life as she comes out of the glow of just recently getting married, with many things in her life coming together.
This is a nice album. I know that sounds like a safe statement to make, but not every major event in life needs to leave us scarred and broken. Introspection can be a positive experience too. Which is why the uplifting music with an appreciation for the real world, is what we are given, and why I gladly accept it. It's true that we might not have expected this from Musgraves, but I think the reason why I enjoyed it so much is that she clearly doesn't care.
Whether you believe the hype or not, this is a really entertaining and heartwarming album. If it can stand the test of time and enter the ranks of the timeless is yet to be seen, but I'm happy to say for today that Golden Hour has lots of power.
On the opposite side of the emotional spectrum, Brendon and I decided to do a video review on the chiptune original, Crystal Castles, by none other than Crystal Castles. Using a circuit bent Atari 5200, this music can be jostling, calming, exciting and generate a host of other feelings, but it manages to do this without much help from lyrics.
In fact, Alice Glass often feels like part of the instrumentation, and not a leading vocalist.
There you have it creative cuties. Two great albums, with two very different emotional cores, but I think you'll find that each have valuable tracks and are worth a spot on the shelf. And please give them repeated listens, because I have a theory that you'll feel the same as I did initially. That said, hit us up in the comments, like and share the video if you found it valuable, and of course, please subscribe to the blog and channel for more awesome theories on the arts.

Police Forces' Hypocrisy on Press Arrests at Climate Protests
This week, the police were probably the only ones doing more self-inflicted reputational damage than Gavin Williamson. Not only have they failed to stop M25 climate protests four days on the trot, and allowed eggs to be thrown at the king – the only people they have thrown into prison cells have been blameless journalists doing their job.
The media world were all horrified to hear the experience of LBC's Charlotte Lynch, who ended up in a cell for five hours for reporting – at distance – the Just Stop Oil protests. Earlier in the week, a photographer and a filmmaker were also held in custody for about 13 hours.
In the end, they were all released without charge.
This morning, the Police & Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, David Lloyd, finally apologised to Lynch – but ruined the PR by victim-blaming journalists: they shouldn't have been covering the protests in the first place.
"I do think that [LBC] too need to have a think about how we as a society, as a community, ensure that oxygen of publicity that Just Stop Oil is seeking is moderated, so that we don't end up with people doing this and really they're only doing it because they know it's going to be reported."
They're not: they're doing it because it ruins many thousands of peoples' day.
Blaming of the media by senior police representatives is at odds with the police's desire to get coverage of their own responses to the protests. Four days ago, the Met invited The Sun along to a showcase arrest of Extinction Rebellion founder Roger Hallam.
So much for journalists giving the groups unnecessary oxygen…

Extinction Rebellion Founder Says Government and Business Owners Should have a Bullet Put through their Head
Despite pointing out last week that Extinction Rebellion fit all the criterion to be classified as a terrorist organisation under the home office's own definition, the group has continued to receive glowing party political broadcasts from the media. Guido can now reveal more of the group's extremist beliefs however with this recording of Extinction Rebellion co-founder, Roger Hallam, preaching "you should put a bullet in [the] head" of those who are responsible for harming the environment. Adding, "or rather someone will".
According to the group's founder – and despite being an anarchist group without a formal leader remains at the top of their hierarchy – those who deserve a bullet in their head include those who: "run society, run big business, run governments, run the elites." That's right MPs – he means you.
Guido was also surprised to see a tweet from Extinction Rebellion last night promising "we are not a socialist movement. We do not trust any single ideology… A banner saying 'socialism or extinction' does not represent us". The same recording of Hallam however makes perfectly clear this is, unsurprisingly, false: "If we're going to have a possibility of living, we're looking at mass socialistic organisation." Socialism brought about by the barrel of a gun. History shows where this leads…

Extinction Rebellion co-founder, Roger Hallam, has launched a new campaign to get 1800 protest participators arrested. For once, Guido's ears perked up…
In his first Facebook post since leaving the comfort of Her Majesty's pleasure at Wormwood Scrubs – where he has resided for six weeks following Extinction Rebellion's Westminster 'shutdown' – Hallam writes "going to prison is not the end of the world". Although he does qualify that "Obviously going to prison is not for everyone"…
Roger explains that:
"… going to prison is a massive headache materially and politically for the authorities and once hundreds and then thousands of people do it in an organised and coordinated way, then in my scholarly opinion real policy changes are going to happen. It is the single biggest act of radical political and nonviolent effectiveness any social movement can decide upon.
I think on the last count something like 1800 people in Extinction Rebellion are up for it. So I will be spending a lot of my time helping to get actions organised which enable these people to walk their talk.
If you are reading this, then I am sure you know it's all systems go, the time is now, and all the rest of it on the Ecological Catastrophe. So get in touch with XR, book some time off, and make up your book list."
The call to arms sparked pretty negative reactions on his Facebook page – even from Extinction Rebellion supporters, who have finally decided – after taking a week off work to arrest broccoli and perform their A-level drama dance pieces at Trafalgar square – that there is such a thing as too much "privilege". Alice wrote, "Obviously spoken from place of privilege and/or mindless ignorance."
Mat ranted, "Making out like it was some lovely holiday u utter wanker Rodger.. people are locked up every day lives ruined familys torn apart an ur doing it for a giggle…. funny u were banged up the whole time "your minions" were out stoping trains aye"
Namm reminded Roger, "Please remember your race and gender privilege" and Jay put it most bluntly, "A post from a f*ckwit & a privileged white boy"
Hallam responded by asking the comments section to remain respectful. It's always been clear Extinction Rebellion have criminal in-tent…

I need mobile phone recommendations!
Discussion in 'Mobile Phones Forum' started by Willeh, Jan 20, 2008.
My mother is taking an exam next Tuesday and I was thinking it would be a good idea to buy her a present for both studying extremely hard and for passing. She needs a new mobile phone but the thing is, there are so many phones out that I can't seem to find the one that is perfectly priced and also perfectly fits her needs.
- Nice looking, slim, feminine phone.
- Good camera at least 3.2 mp if more.
She isn't high-tech at all therefore there isn't much need for things such as a GPS, an internet browser and etc.
Also I think the Sony Erricson walkman ranges also suit her needs but which one specifically?
The budget is around £100-£150 (ebay comes into the equation here), and I'm looking for a pay as you go phone. No one needs to find links or anything, I just need mobile models and the relevant comment e.g. suits the needs well or whatever.
Thanks for the reply. She had her eye on the limited gold edition of the W910i but was put off it when she saw that everyone carried a W910i, thus I should have added that she likes phones which are extremely good, but also unique whereby not many people have it.
Sadly that's going to be nigh-on impossible with a budget of £150, as that's the free-on-contract pricerange. The only phones in this range that you wont see around a lot, are the bad ones!
How about the Samsung F700? Only on Voda, but might be around SIM-Free on via eBay.
I've managed to find the 5610 new on ebay for £160 which is fine but a bit over the budget. I guess I'll go with the 5610 as it's the best phone for the price. I'm placing the order later today so if anyone else has any comments to add or say to change my mind then please post it!
Question Which mobile phone for kids?

Q: Graph theory: for a connected graph, show that the size of the minimum vertex cover τ(G) is at most [(|E(G)| + 1)]/2 I'm having real trouble with this practice question:
Show that
$$\tau(G) ≤ \frac{|E(G)| + 1}{2}$$
for every connected graph G.
What properties of a connected graph entail this inequality? Does it tell us something about the number of vertices?
So if a graph is connected, every vertex has at least an edge incident to it. So $|V(G)|$ is at most $|E(G)|+1$, because the connected graph with smallest $|E(G)|$ is a tree with two leaves and all other vertices of degree 2.  Is it that you only need half the vertices because an edge connects two vertices, and so since we have an upper bound for $|V(G)|$ we have an upper bound for $\tau(G)$? Am I going in the right direction?
Can anyone help? Thanks!

A: See theorem 2.4.17 in http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~kostochk/math581/Chapter2-4.pdf for a possible proof.

A: Your argument is fine, but will not give the result. I am afraid induction is needed.
(edit3) To adress the comments I will be more precise and explicit. Thanks. I formulate my observations avoiding $1\over 2$ as I am afraid of rounding errors.
Connected graph $G$ either is a tree, or is circular (i.e., it consists of a single cycle), or it contains a cycle with a vertex $v$ of degree at least three.
(i) In case $G$ is a tree alternatingly colour the vertices red and green. Pick the colour that occurs at most half the number of times as vertex-cover. If $G$ has $2t$ (resp. $2t-1$) edges and $2t+1$ (resp. $2t$) vertices we can pick $t$ vertices (both even and odd case), matching the bound in the question.
(ii) In case $G$ is a circle graph having $2t$ (resp. $2t-1$) edges and $2t$ (resp. $2t-1$) vertices we can pick $t$ vertices, again matching the bound.
(iii) Otherwise we can find a vertex $v$ on a cycle and with degree $k\ge 3$. Deleting $v$ and its incident edges will lead to a graph with $\ell$ components with $\ell < k$ (because of the cycle). Apply induction: for component $G_i$ we have $2\tau(G_i)\le |E_i|+1$.
Choose $v$ in the vertex-cover and the other vertices inductively.
$2\tau(G)
\le 2 + 2\tau(G_1) +\dots+ 2\tau(G_\ell)
\le 2 + |E_1| + \dots + |E_\ell| + \ell$.
The total number of edges sums to $|E|-k$, while $\ell -k \le -1$, so we obtain
$2+|E|-k + \ell \le |E| +1$.
That works, thanks again for the input.

Home USA Sport Tottenham Shoot Down The Gunners' Hopes Of A Title In Dramatic Match
Tottenham Shoot Down The Gunners' Hopes Of A Title In Dramatic Match
David Jester
Wed April 14, 2010
Chelsea picked up a tight win against Bolton yesterday to move further ahead at the top of the Premiership and cement their intent to win a Title that is within their grasp. But there are still a few games to play yet and today we had three more games with Arsenal still hoping to rain of Chelsea's parade and the battle for fourth still going strong.
Undoubtedly the biggest game of the night was the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal which kicked off at 20:00 down at White Hart Lane. Arsenal started the better side and Campbell, playing for Arsenal against one of his former clubs – who was over 30/1 to score at anytime in this game – very nearly made a handful of punters happy when he nearly bundled the ball across the line following a corner in the first minute; his moment of glory stopped by a block on the line.
Despite The Gunners looking comfortable, it was Tottenham who took the lead with just ten minutes gone. The ball was whipped in from a corner and was immediately punched clear by the rushing Almunia, it fell to the feet of young Premiership debutant Danny Rose, who struck an incredibly sweet volley and watched the ball fly into the top of the net. A moment that he will never forget and a truly stunning strike.
Arsenal were still the better side after the goal but created few chances and converted none. They went in 1-0 down at Halftime and when they came out in the second half Tottenham struck again to send them 2-0 down. Gareth Bale found himself in acres of space in the box after a great pass and some poor defending, and the young Welshman cooly slotted the ball into the net.
Arsenal looked rattled after that goal and Spurs looked the more likely to score, but eventually The Gunners settled down and began to string some decent attacks together, but they failed with their final third play. With just over twenty minutes to play Robin van Persie was subbed on for Arsenal after 5 months out through injury, and he began to work his magic in the final ten minutes. He struck a powerful free-kick which was saved well by Gomes before Campbell then popped up to hit the crossbar from a corner as Arsenal ran wild. They got what they wanted with just five minutes to go when a neat pass from Van Persie found Wallcott who slipped in Bendtner, leaving the Dane to scramble the ball over the line to make it 2-1 and give them a fighting chance.
Tottenham held on though and recorded a fantastic win against their rivals.
Also playing tonight was Aston Villa whose luck has been far from sweet recently. They are still on course for that fourth spot though, but they faced a tough test against Everton tonight.
Everton took the lead on twenty-three minutes when Cahill popped up to take advantage of some poor defending, heading the ball past a beaten Brad Friedel. Everton continued to look strong but Villa had chances of their own with Carew testing out the Toffee's defense. With an hour played in this game the exchanges were still in favor of Everton as the odds for a draw drifted out to 3/1, great odds if you took them and saw what came next.
Agbonlahor nicked a shock goal on seventy-two minutes to put the sides level but just three minutes later Everton were back in front again when the little Australian Cahill headed in from a corner; unmarked. It still wasn't over though and as Villa pressed hard in stoppage time a Young cross was met by the defending Jagielka who knocked the ball past his own 'keeper to gift Aston Villa a point from a 2-2 scoreline.
Wigan were also playing tonight when they hosted Portsmouth at the DW Stadium. The home side were 4/7 to win and everyone expected them to win well, but the game ended a drab 0-0 in the end as relegated Portsmouth collected more points down at the bottom of the table.

Q: mysql_query_rules defined in proxysql.cnf but not loaded My proxysql.cnf contains:
# ...
mysql_query_rules:

# ...

But when proxysql starts, the mysql_query_rules defintion is not loaded.
select * from mysql_query_rules;
Empty set (0.001 sec)

How to make proxysql loads the mysql_query_rules definition from the proxysql.cnf file at startup?

A: The rule_id field is mandatory.

   active = 1
   match_digest = "^SHOW.*"
   destination_hostgroup = 3

Deane G. Carter 1941-1958
Deane Carter contributed greatly to the development of the farm structures division in the agricultural engineering department during his seventeen years of service. Upon joining the staff in 1941, he helped develop the undergraduate professional curriculum and the graduate program. He was an effective and popular teacher and advisor for many students. He also skillfully helped to coordinate and develop all phases of the departmental program.
He served on many policy-making committees of the University, including the executive committee of the Small Homes Council. Before coming to Illinois, he was a staff member at Iowa State University, North Carolina State University, and the University of Arkansas, where he was head of the department for twenty years.
Carter wrote prolifically. He wrote two textbooks with Foster and Hinchcliff, fifteen experiment station bulletins, eighteen extension circulars, and thirty-nine papers. His subjects ranged from farm structures and housing to tractors and soil conservation. He also served as a national officer of Alpha Zeta for more than fifteen years. He held a number of sectional, regional, and national offices in ASAE and served on three Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD) accreditation committees.
In 1953, Carter visited India as a member of the College of Agriculture Foreign Program Committee. The assignment led to continuing international programs with the department in India. In 1956, he was named coordinator of international programs under the U of I Provost's Office. After retirement in 1958, he served as a member of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) survey team on engineering education in India and then joined the University of Nebraska contract team to spend two years as a visiting professor at Ataturk University at Erzurum, Turkey.


I was invited to a wine tasting which is something I haven't done in ages so jumped at the chance to see what was in store. The Southern Sun Hotel on Church Road holds this free event every penultimate Friday of the month. I have been there twice, and the setting has been different each time from a social wine tasting to full set up of brandy and chocolate pairing.
The event starts at about 7 pm and lasts an hour. When you walk in you are offered some bubbly and are asked if you would like to be entered in a draw to stand a chance to win some of the prizes which are part of the presentation.
The first time I went the theme was Sparkling Wines and Champagne, the night was a more casual feel of socialising and tasting none of that swirl your glass, take a sniff, sip, swish, and then spit. You were free to sip and walk around the room, get to know the people there which was rather interesting. I found out a that Scottish Whiskey is now being bottled in Simonga, Livingstone and sold on the Zambian market. They had to go to Scotland to get all the rights, seals and recipes sorted for it to be bottled here.
The second-time round was all about Brandy and chocolate pairing. I knew absolutely nothing except for the name had no clue about the brand KWV either, it was all very educational, and I was enlightened. Lourens Stander the Spirits Manager at KWV Brandy is very passionate and knowledgeable walking us through the 5 types there were laid out to taste from the 5, 10, 15 and 20-year olds, including all the flavours and scents that come through. Found that the 15 year old paired really well with the Lindt dark chocolate due to the intensity of it all.
Also learnt that traditionally you do not swirl your brandy glass like wine and taste it at room temperature because it is slightly warm with the holding of the glass cupped in your palm.
Both events were very well presented but I will stick to pouring the brandy over my Christmas pudding.
I could not refrain from commenting. Exceptionally well ᴡritten!


My first website ever was titled "The Realm of Arcanius." The name remains to this day — check out the title of this page. My brother was becoming interested in graphic design at the time (he was doing his senior project on computer aided graphic design, in fact) and he made me the logo, which really was the prettiest part of the site. And prettiness mattered, since I was locked in a battle for votes with my friend Dan�s "Lagomorph's Lair" and he always seemed to be winning. I had decidedly more content in the form of stories, poetry, pictures, photos, and jokes, for what that was worth. But he had style. I have similar problems today. I am able to update this site fairly regularly (although I admit the pictures are getting stale), but I still have trouble making my sites all that pretty. I can make what I think are good looking logos and designs using Photoshop and freehand, but putting them together to make a good website had never been my strong point. My most successful websites have always been very simple, come-for-the-content websites. Of course, Mr. Zimmermann is a professional web developer — so I shouldn't feel too bad that my site isn;t as good-looking as his.
So the story part of that (I know it wasn't too clear) was that I made a website when I was in the eighth grade and I lost a competition to my friend. And I;ve kept the name ever since. So now, I might as well talk about how I picked up the name "Arcanius" anyway. Actually, I think I already talked about this (if you go to the first posts in the archives). But here it is again for those of you too lazy to go back (I would be too, so don't feel bad). There was a game I played back in sixth grade called "Master of Magic." It was fun, and it had two worlds — one called "Arcanus" and the other called "Myrror." I took the former name, added the 'i' (because I'm cool like that) and adopted it as my online name.
And I might as well keep on going; it is good to remember. Well, the Lagomorph who always beat me in website design now attends the University of Washington — where I will probally be going by the end of the year. It is somewhat sad that we have drifted apart. We still get along, but we really don�t see each other much anymore — no real reason to, I guess. The same thing happened to Alex, another friend from high school, and countless others as well. But some people I have continued to hang out with regularly — Scott, Maneesh, Amy. The difference is that the ones I have drifted away from don't tend to find the time to do things with me, while the ones still in my life seem to always be willing to do things still. So it leads to a very simply but very important conclusion: continued close friendship takes continued inputs of time. There is simply no way around it. I will always be cordial with Alex and Dan, but already, I have nothing to talk to them about — they come online and I don't message them, because I don't have anything to say.
Now for an update on more current history: today. First, I did the Robotics thing, picking up a breakfast burrito as Casa D's Tacqueria on Bellevue Way on the way to Larry�s house. Once there, Bobby and I worked on the design of the arm (we think it is pretty much finished now), participated somewhat in the betterment of the ball scooper-upper, and generally had ourselves a good time, before returning to 8, the eight-restaurant cafeteria in the basement of McMahon Hall. We seem to be eating there a lot, but Bobby does have 900-some dollars he needs to burn through before the end of the term, and I'm willing to help him as long as its not taking anything away from him. While eating and finalizing details on the arm, we watched the UW men's basketball team put the spank on the Arizona State Sun Devils. Then we watched the Montlake parking area's black of asphalt turn into glowing red of brake lights as thousands of fans exited the arena only to sit in their cars waiting to get out. Once the traffic had subsided, I returned home before running out to apply for employment at the low-risk, low-stress local Blockbuster, and to grab a movie and some groceries. I highly recommend the movie "Antwone Fisher." I can't say I cried, but my eyes did get damp. Of course, I'm pretty emotionally detached, so that's a pretty good effect.
I'll work on new pictures, and probably fix the error in PHPix which has hackers still attempting to compromise my system. Of course, I'm not sure if the hackers were directly related to Wadi's crash, or if both events just happened to occur at the same time. In the meantime, I've thought of many ways that OS's could be made more secure by default: some of these ideas are already implemented by Immunix, Inc. (www.immunix.com / www.immunix.org), although they use older technology. I'm too cutting edge (not quite beta, but everything up until thing pretty much) to deal with gcc < 3.0 or Apache < 2.0. so while maybe its flawed in security, I get to learn and it�ll make me a better sysadmin in the meantime.
Arcanius, thanks for the kind words. It should be made clear, though, whatever your site lacks in design is made up for in content. Keep up the good work.

Q: Return spreadsheet values to javascript I'm quite annoyed by a problem with google script and javascript.
I have a problem to send datarange values from my google script to be treated by my javascript function.
Here is my code.
code.gs extract:
function getSheetData(ss,sh){
    // Create sheet object
    var ass = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ss);
    SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSpreadsheet(ass);
    var ash = SpreadsheetApp.openById(ss).getSheetByName(sh);
    ash = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
    var result = ash.getDataRange().getValues();
    Logger.log("getSheetData(ss,sh) result : "+result);
    // return result after JSON strinfigy
    return JSON.stringify(result);
}

JavaScript.html extract :
function readTb(fn) {
    var result = google.script.run.getSheetData(bdData, tbData);
    console.dir('readTb result : ' + result);
    fn(result);
}

function buildSelect(range) {
    console.log('Range = ');
    console.dir(range);
    if (range.length > 0) {
        buildOption('', 'Choose an order');
        for (i = 0; i < range.length; i++) {
            var row = range[i];
            buildOption(row[0], row[0] + " ~ " + row[2] + " ~ " + row[5]
                    + " ~ " + row[7]);
        }
    } else {
        buildOption('', 'No order to display');
    }
}

function buildOption(data) {
    console.log(data);
}

/**
 /* Retrieve orders and format to fill select numCommande input
 /*
 */

function listCommandesPesee() {
    console.log('Call for orders seeking');
    // Read DB and retrieve data
    // feed function variables with CONST
    bdData = BDDATA_OLD;
    tbData = TBCOMMANDES;
    // Call readTb to retrieve data, then buildSelect to format result
    var promise1 = new Promise(readTb);
    promise1.then(buildSelect);
    console.dir(promise1);
}

By now, Logger.log in GS IDE shows right data:

[16-07-27 08:01:22:040 PDT] résultat de getSheetData(ss,sh) : Ligne,ID,Produit,Date,Fournisseur,Numéro Camion,Silo,Cellule,Ilot,Poids coop,Poids net livré,N° analyse qualité,Cellule destination ,Transport
...

on page load, listCommandesPesee is called, which call readTb().
But even with json stringify, I still have an undefined value in var result (readTb function) and so range in buildSelect doesn't have any length property.
JSON.Stringify was working when I was testing and before I add promise and chain (I do think)
Because I'm stuck on this. I'll be grateful for any help.
Thanks

A: The return from the server, can not be received by the same function that is using google.script.run.
Currently:
function readTb(fn) {
    var result = google.script.run.getSheetData(bdData, tbData);
    console.dir('Résultat de lecture des données : ' + result);
    fn(result);
}

Should Be:
function readTb() {
  var result = google.script.run
    .withSuccessHandler(mySuccessFnc)
    .getSheetData(bdData, tbData);
}

function mySuccessFnc(resultReturned) {
    console.dir('Résultat de lecture des données : ' + resultReturned);
};

Album Review: Froot by Marina and the Diamonds
I have to say this album grabbed me from the moment I first put it on. And unlike The Balcony by Catfish and the Bottlemen, this album did get under my skin. Going to take a shower I wanted to throw it on. Wake up in the morning and a song from the album is stuck in my head. Found myself repeating a song multiple times. That's how you distinguish a 2 star album from a 3 star album.
What is it about this album? I like the sound quite a bit, really like Marina's voice, and lyrically it's interesting. Two songs in particular stand out for me as particularly interesting. The opening track "Happy" and the closing track "Immortal." "Happy" could find its way onto a Christian pop album because of it's lyric.
Couldn't relax, couldn't sit back
And let the sunlight in my lap
I sang a hymn to bring me peace
And then it came, a melody
It felt so sweet, it felt so strong
It made me feel like I belonged
And all the sadness inside me
Melted away like I was free
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy . . .
The album has songs about love and loss and other things, but even those have an interest take. But "Immortal" is a very interesting love song to me.
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
Anyhow I really enjoyed this album and will be said to take it off my queue. Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 3 out of 5 stars for Pretty Good.
In fact I'll give a bonus video for this album, since I talked about the song.

This is very great stuff. Love that lyric on "Happy." Also, I really appreciated your distinction on what separates 2-star from 3-star records--would appreciate more of that for each score.
"Happy" is beautiful. Excellent song.

The ACW plastics are definitely the newer style plastics, being far more evenly proportioned than the old plastics. I can't say how well they scale with the metals, but my assumption is that they'll be a little slighter.
As to the piping bag bandit, still on the lam as far as I know.
Groups always fight together. The only time you have to do any measurements or calculations is with multiple groups. In your situation, the entire group would turn and fight.
Yes, the first three decks. Rohan, Isengard, Gondor, Harad, Easterlings, and all generic fate cards except desperare, which didn't fit.

Topic: Some questions from first game.
Re: Some questions from first game.


Chinese people are famous for their hospitality and they are always excited to show foreigners about the Chinese culture. They're also curious about people from different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, if you're a foreigner living in China, don't feel surprised if your Chinese friends invite you to their places for a visit, even if you're not really familiar with them. Now, what should you pay attention to when it comes to visiting a Chinese family?
In China, before you go visit your friend, they may tell you not to bring anything and put an emphasis on the fact that the most important thing is "you". Well, you'd better not take it seriously, they're just being polite with you. In the Chinese culture, visiting a friend "with empty hands" is considered discourteous. However, there's no need to panic just because you don't know what to bring as a gift. A box of chocolate, or a small handicraft would be perfectly fine.
In China, it's very important for you to show up on time to show your appreciation and respect to the host. It'd be even better if you could arrive a bit earlier than agreed. Nevertheless, it's regarded indecent to arrive late without a proper reason. So, pay extra attention to punctuality.
Chinese people (and actually Asians in general) take off their shoes when entering their homes. When you arrive at a Chinese home, your host would probably tell you it's okay to wear your shoes, but if you take them off, you'd definitely earn some extra points. And usually your host would provide a pair of "home slippers" to wear indoor.
Although modesty is highly valued in the Chinese culture, Chinese people love to hear compliments. When you're paying a visit to your Chinese friend's house, you may flatter them with compliments about the decoration and furnishings, and your friend won't treat it as something superficial or insincere. If your friend happens to cook for all the guests, it's customary to express your gratitude to your friend for making the delicious food.
During your first visit to your Chinese friend's house, they might offer to show you around. It's regarded disrespectful to touch anything displayed on the shelves without asking for permission. In addition, you're not expected to look around yourself without telling your friend about it. Finally, bear in mind that you're not supposed to "comment" on anything when you're being shown around the house, however, "compliments" are always welcome.
Lastly, just enjoy yourself and the company of your friend and their family. It's an honour to be invited into someone's home, just like in any other culture. So have fun and enjoy your blooming friendship.
Our blog offers tips and advice on living and studying Mandarin in China, and explores the stark cultural differences between the East, the West — and everything else in between.
Why do Chinese People do that?

Public Health: Leisure World Community
Leisure World is a 610 acre gated community that admits individuals of age 55 and above as members. In that sense, it is both geographic and phenomenological. The community is largely cosmopolitan, with the racial distribution of residents being wide and comprising of Caucasian, African American, Asian, and Hispanic individuals. There is, however, a predominant Caucasian population.
With the only those above age 55 being qualified to join the community, the relevance of the present recreation centers cannot be overstated – i.e. an outdoor pool and tennis court. This is more so the case given the need for this age group to engage in regular physical exercises so as to further enhance their health and wellbeing. The common health concerns among the elderly residents of this community are diabetes, hypertension, pressure ulcers, and musculoskeletal maladies. Other commonplace health concerns faced by the older adults elsewhere and are common in this particular community are identified as being anxiety and loss of independence, depression, and anxiety.
The relaxing and welcoming nature of the community is an indication of a community at peace with itself, which could in essence be the perfect place for those in their prime to live or spend most of their time. The community also seems well maintained and decent. This could be discerned from the readily available public garbage cans and proper maintenance of the lawns. In basic terms, the observations from the Windshield survey are indicative of a community that puts great emphasis on both convenience and easy access. Leisure World comes across as being relatively safe, peaceful, and being a gated community, well maintained.
Comparable geographic communities include Leisure World's surrounding neighborhoods which comprises of Rockville, Olney, and Aspen Hill. Unlike Leisure World, which has a median age of 75.8 years, the median age of those residing in Rockville, Olney, and Aspen Hill is 37, 42.5, and 40 respectively. This demonstrates a significant median age difference. The national median age is 37.8. However, the racial distribution across the three comparable communities is rather similar, with the Caucasian racial category being predominant at 47% for Aspen Hill, 73% for Olney, and 64% for Rockville. Leisure World ranks lower on the median household income front. The community's median household income as of 2015 was captured as $53,175. Rockville, Olney, and Aspen Hill's median household incomes are $100,129, $133,121 and $83,115 respectively. The national median household income is $55,775, which is slightly higher than that of Leisure World.

Foodservice Fraud – A New Frontier for Thieves
Restaurants, retail, healthcare, education – no industry or company is immune to a potential data breach. Last weekit was reported that Harbortouch, a leading national supplier of point-of-sale (POS) systems, was the latest company to fall victim to a data breach. Harbortouch disclosed that a breach involving "a small number" of its restaurant and bar customers were impacted by "malicious software that allowed thieves to siphon customer card data from affected merchants."
This is certainly not the first time we have heard of vulnerabilities in POS systems and the impact on restaurants and their customers. In June 2014, it was confirmed that restaurant chain P.F. Chang's was the victim of a data breach. Malware was planted in the software by cyber thieves who then recorded card data as the cards were swiped through the terminals. The breach led to the theft of customer cardholder data at 33 of their locations over a span of 8 months, and that customer data from thousands of credit and debit cards previously used at P.F. Chang's restaurants went up for sale on an underground store best known for selling data from tens of millions of cards stolen in the Target breach.
The scope of the Harbortouch breach, although being reported as affecting a small percentage of merchants, should have the hairs on the arms of POS companies standing up, as malware is increasingly becoming more advanced and evasive. In Harbortouch's case, where 4,200 merchants nationwide were affected, the malware was designed to avoid detection by the antivirus program running on the POS system.
The Ponemon Institute lists variable costs for merchants in response to a breach that include forensic examinations, credit and identity monitoring, legal defense and more – all adding up to a cost of $201 per record. To break this cost down in terms of a small merchant, for example, who processes 6 thousand unique transactions per year equates to a risk cost of $1.2 million. For a larger merchant with multiple locations and 2.5 million unique transactions per year? A staggering $502 million in risk cost.
The large merchant breaches reported in the media have brought awareness to the fraud epidemic. What is scary is that this awareness also has created smarter thieves.
Over the past year, the Secret Service has responded to numerous hacks on businesses throughout the United States that have been impacted by "Backoff" malware. "Backoff" malware targets restaurants and businesses that use common remote desktop applications. Hackers use the malware to gain access into a system, stealing proprietary card holder data without being detected by common anti-malware programs.
Brian Krebs recently reported on a new type of malware dubbed as "PoSeidon." PoSeidon steals card payment data in the POS system, infecting the system to capture credit card information and exporting that data to servers for harvesting and resale. PoSeidon is also known for its resilience, as the malware has the ability to survive in the event of a system reboot.
PoSeidon "has been implicated in a number of recent breaches involving companies that provide POS services primarily to restaurants, bars, and hotels. The shift by the card thieves away from targeting major retailers like Target and Home Depot to attacking countless, smaller users of POS systems is giving financial institutions a run for their money as they struggle to figure out which merchants are responsible for card fraud."
We will continue to see new types of malware as thieves adapt and expand their target area. The good news is that there is a solution to protecting credit card data – PCI-Validated Point–to-Point Encryption (P2PE). Bluefin provides a suite of PCI-validated P2PE solutions through our PayConex payment gateway, stand-alone Decryptx product and through our QuickSwipe mobile solution – specifically aimed at the restaurant industry. Bluefin's PCI-validated P2PE solution suite encrypts all card data within a PCI-approved P2PE device so it is never present in the merchant system in clear-text. Decryption of the data is only done in hardware outside of the merchant's environment.
You can learn more about Bluefin's security solutions at this month's National Restaurant Show where Bluefin is exhibiting, booth #6350, or check out our security webinar with NRN, Why Holistic Payment Security is a Better Defense for Cardholder Data and Business Brands.
