For improving the daily standard of living a seat lift up chair can be of extreme help. A person can search for a chair that offers him the maximum level of comfort through its positioning mechanism. Likewise personalized options are available in conditions of colors and materials which in turn go in well with your interior decor. Try to get the chair through the best brands and manufacturing companies. Many times there are special offers or discounts which are going on and one can easily capitalize on such opportunities. Basically this kind of falls under any of the 3 categories, namely, two posture, three positions or the ones having infinite number of positions. The restriction with a dual position lift chair is that they cannot be inclined all the way again. They are however very affordable and useful for viewing television or perhaps for use on a casual most basic. The second category of chair brought up can lean all the way as well as they fall somewhere in between the first and the third categories of chairs. By making a person to lower fully they actually help in improvement of blood circulation.

Fruit salad of kiwi, strawberries, and orange chunks; some Biscoff cookies from my British friends; pita crackers; pine nut hummus; bell pepper strips; baby carrots; and black olives.
Biscoff cookies are sort of cinnamon-flavored. They're nice as a cookie but I think the spread is even better!

Love Oxted, the Oxted Business Improvement District, are encouraging families to visit Oxted over the Easter holidays to complete the free Easter trail and be in with a chance of winning a star prize.
Trail hunters can search for clues in the windows of shops and businesses on Station Road East and Station Road West find some yummy treats along the way at special 'Choc Hotspots'. Suitable for children aged up to 11, there are two trails to complete, which can be completed over several visits.
Trail booklets can be collected from shops and businesses in Oxted and, once completed, can be posted in one of the special post boxes in the library and sports centre to be in with a chance of winning a star prize.
Entry is free and will take place over the Easter Holidays from Saturday 6th to Saturday 20th April, excluding Sundays and Bank Holidays. So there's no rush to complete the trail as it runs over the Easter holidays.
The Easter Bunny will also be visiting Oxted on Saturday 6th April in the afternoon and Wednesday 10th April in the morning – and children are encouraged to pop along and say hi.


Computer vision solutions have majorly evolved independently of biological visual processing and perception concerns, much like the camera has evolved independently of the understanding of the eye biology and function. Despite many advances in computer vision and imaging techniques, the existing solutions are still in a preliminary stage when compared to the biological vision, as far as simultaneous reliability, efficiency, adaptability, robustness, autonomy, and accuracy are concerned in real world scenarios.
In Vision Computation Lab, we combine a number of versatile and powerful techniques to create a general program for determining how the biological vision processes visual information, and how to transform this knowledge to computer vision systems that prove flexible, robust, efficient and appropriate for real-time processing to meet human needs in real world settings. We also collaborate closely with experimental neuroscience labs at the University of Utah and at Stanford University to collect and study electrophysiological data from the brain and the retina.
Our two-way approach enables accelerating progress in both biological and artificial vision domains by advancing our understanding of the underlying neural computations, circuits, and mechanisms responsible for our natural visual processing and perception, and also advancing the state-of-the-art of computer vision solutions and imaging schemes, which are usually task-specific or highly task-general, by enabling concurrent autonomy, adaptability, efficiency, and robustness in complex visual tasks all implemented in a single computational framework.
Our lab seeks to understand the computational underpinning of the brain information processing through a combined experimental and theoretical approach that includes visual stimulation, multielectrode recording, intracellular recording, current stimulation, and computational modeling. These precise, simultaneous measurements produce large sets of data that will be used to create mathematical models for quantitatively characterizing the visual information conveyed by neuronal responses.
Our research exploits, extends, and develops computational and theoretical techniques from multiple disciplines, including statistical signal processing, statistical machine learning, dimensionality reduction, statistical inference, information theory, and dynamical systems to study the brain's visual functions.
By incorporating our knowledge about the computational properties of neural systems, we introduce novel approaches for computer vision solutions by enabling concurrent autonomy, adaptability, efficiency, and robustness in real world settings. The current focus of our lab is on investigating novel computational schemes and algorithms for visual motion processing using neuro-inspired computational models of the brain's motion processing from the retina to the cortex. This novel approach will enable a paradigm shift of intelligent motion computing in robotics and brain-machine interfaces toward autonomous, adaptive, and robust systems that can operate in real world settings.
More specifically, we develop computational model frameworks or related deep network architectures for solving motion detection, segmentation, and tracking in the presence of an observer motion. Despite many advances in motion analysis methods, techniques based on moving observations are still in a preliminary stage of development when compared to those using static observations, in terms of reliability, efficiency, robustness, and runtime in real world scenarios. On the other hand, our biological visual system is capable of performing similar motion detection and discrimination task reliably every moment that we are awake to compensate for constant eye or head movements. This project will develop a novel, smart motion computation system for mobile observers, such as moving cameras, based on recent findings about the retina's real-time motion computations and circuitry, and changes in visual processing during goal-directed visual attention; performance of the system will be tested in a variety of real-world scenarios.
The projects have been funded by National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Is there a difference between cancer free and remission?
Can you live 20 years after breast cancer?
Does cancer ever really go away?
What is the life expectancy after chemotherapy?

Can you live longer than 5 years with breast cancer?
At what point are you considered cancer free?
How Do You Know You're in Remission.
Tests look for cancer cells in your blood.
Scans like X-rays and MRIs show if your tumor is smaller or if it's gone after surgery and isn't growing back.
To qualify as remission, your tumor either doesn't grow back or stays the same size for a month after you finish treatments..
Remission allows for the possibility that some microscopic, undetectable cancer remains in the body, while cancer-free indicates exactly what it sounds like: the patient is entirely free of cancer.
Since the hazard rate associated with inflammatory breast cancer shows a sharp peak within the first 2 years and a rapid reduction in risk in subsequent years, it is highly likely that the great majority of patients alive 20 years after diagnosis are cured.
Takeaway. There is currently no cure for cancer. However, successful treatment can result in cancer going into remission, which means that all signs of it have gone. The early detection and treatment of cancer can significantly improve the chances of remission and a person's outlook.
Patients must have a life expectancy of 6 months or less and must forego curative treatment. Funding for chemotherapy and radiation is limited; thus, being enrolled in hospice can significantly limit very useful palliative treatment.
Deadliest Cancers: Lung, Breast, Colorectal, Pancreatic, Prostate.
The measure '10-year survival at diagnosis' is defined as the ratio of the proportion of people who are still alive at 10 years after diagnosis of their cancer (observed survival) divided by the proportion of people in the general population expected to survive the same time interval (expected survival) after matching …
Between 20 and 30 percent of women with early stage breast cancer go on to develop metastatic disease. While treatable, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) cannot be cured. The five-year survival rate for stage 4 breast cancer is 22 percent; median survival is three years. Annually, the disease takes 40,000 lives.
For the amalgamated 1,022 patients, median survival time was 2.3 years. Actuarial 5- and (partially fitted) 10-year survival rates for these patients with untreated breast cancer was 19.8% and 3.7%, respectively. Historical data of untreated breast cancer patients reveal a potential for long survival in some cases.
The percentage of people in a study or treatment group who are alive five years after they were diagnosed with or started treatment for a disease, such as cancer. The disease may or may not have come back.
The NCI reports that 90 percent of women with breast cancer survive 5 years after diagnosis. This survival rate includes all women with breast cancer, regardless of the stage. The 5-year survival rate for women diagnosed with localized breast cancer is about 99 percent.
If you remain in complete remission for five years or more, some doctors may say that you are cured, or cancer-free.

Welcome to the LINQPad forum!
This forum is for general LINQPad discussions (topics that are not a good fit for StackOverflow or UserVoice).
Great to see the LINQPad forum stand on its own now! Keep up the good work!
I've been using LinqPad for about a year. A couple of months ago I added Intellisense.
I just wanted to let you know that I think that LinqPad is a great product.
I have been using LINQPad every day for one week know. It is already one of those few tools I fire up in the morning and close it only when I leave the office in the evening.
LinqPad is the bomb. Not only in helping me learn, debug, and optimize my Linq but also as a c# scripting tool. Testing functions and writing quick utilities to fix things on my PC or in a database take so much less time then having to create a whole program to do the same because T-SQL isn't powerful enough. Such a time saver.
I am a huge fan of LINQPad, been so for years- however this is the first time I signed up for a forum account. The password requirments are a little too strong I think.
LinqPad is still something new for me. Even Linq is. But with this excelent tool i started to query the DB using Linq and the process of learning it is being very fun. Also, linqpad provides me a scratch board, easy to use and test some dirty code. Keep up the powerfull work.
I've been using LINQPad, including LINQPad Pro, for at least five years now. In my little corner of the coding world, it long ago supplanted an outstanding predecessor, Snippet Compiler, which was the "go-to" app for working out small (and sometimes not-so-small) pieces of .NET code in the years before .NET 3.5. As with its predecessor, I've spent many hours with LINQPad--perhaps even as much time as in Visual Studio!--working out problems, learning the .NET Framework (including LINQ, of course), learning APIs and libraries (especially thanks to LINQPad's outstanding support for NuGet) and writing utilities that are much easier to implement in C# or F# than in a scripting language.
In short, LINQPad provides almost everything you need for working out the building blocks of your code without burdening you with the ceremony of a full-blown IDE. It's where I go to think small now so that I can think big later.
I use LinqPad every single day at work. Need to generate a report? Need to modify a database? Need to upload a csv file? Need to test a small piece of code, to see if it does what is expected? Visual Studio is great for handling big projects, but is horrible to use when you need to try something, make something small, or do something you plan on only using once. With LinqPad, I can just open it up, and start programming, without worrying about cluttering up my projects folder. I also find that because my LinqPad scripts generally only do one task, it's very easy to copy, and reuse them for similar tasks.
LinqPad is a great tool. I allways use it when I develop in a big Visual Studio multi-project environment. You can make quick tests, try out new technics/technologies, for performance tests, and of course to show new opportunities to our collegues.
With Linq scripts yoy can focus on your idea, you can keep everything clear, without any disturbing complexities.

Replica ancient currach goes up in flames for new film project
Updated / Tuesday, 15 Dec 2020 19:35
The one-man Boyne currach was set ablaze in the shadow of Sceilg Mhichíl
By Seán Mac an tSíthigh
Iriseoir Fise
The careful construction of an ancient hide-covered boat - only to be destroyed to create art - is all part of a film entitled 'Crann'.
The evocative new work, which is inspired by a poem, will have its world premiere as part of the upcoming IMRAM Literary Festival.
The film, directed by Laura Hilliard, features a dramatic ceremonial scene where a one-man Boyne currach is set ablaze in the shadow of Sceilg Mhichíl.
The film is inspired by the poem 'Tree' written by English poet Richard Berengarten.
The work has been translated into Irish for the film by poet Gabriel Rosenstock and the words have been set to music by composer Nick Roth.
In what is described as a "dendro-chronographic film," the work explores a tree in all its aspects, including mythology, history and religion.
Mr Roth says the essence of the film and the music is the celebration and 'bringing out' of the poem.
"I spent six months writing the music. Berengarten's poem is actually a response to 'Fast Speaking Woman', another poem by Anne Waldman, but this is in the context of a tree rather than a woman.
"So it's very kaleidoscopic, with many different aspects. And the music does that as well, it's constantly changing, with both traditional and contemporary elements, along with sounds like wolf-howling and insect noises." he added.
The burning boat featured in the film is a traditional Boyne currach made by Kerry-based boatbuilder Holger Lonze.
"The Boyne Currach is a very simple yet beautiful boat. It's Ireland's only river currach, the rest are all sea currachs. It's a simple construction of hazel, cow-hide and twine.
The materials are organic and the currach's hazel structure is built from the ground up. She is the ideal craft for this kind of project," Mr Lonze said.
The boat was set on fire against the dramatic backdrop of the 6th century monastic outpost of Sceilg Mhichíl.
Olesya Zdorovetska, one of the vocalists featured in the film, said it was a very moving experience.
"These powerful landscapes and these things that we are creating are very rooted in Ireland's soul.
"There's something in this piece of art that is very connected to this place, with all the forces of nature and all the mythologies evoking images," she said.
To coincide with the celebration of the winter solstice, the world premiere of 'Crann' will be screened online next Monday, 21 December, at 8pm.

What-it-does: sunscreen
Titanium Dioxide is one of the two members of the elite sunscreen group called physical sunscreens (or inorganic sunscreens if you're a science geek and want to be precise).
Traditionally, UV-filters are categorized as either chemical or physical. The big difference is supposed to be that chemical agents absorb UV-light while physical agents reflect it like a bunch of mini umbrellas on top of the skin. While this categorization is easy and logical it turns out it's not true. A recent, 2016 study shows that inorganic sunscreens work mostly by absorption, just like chemical filters, and only a little bit by reflection (they do reflect the light in the visible spectrum, but mostly absorb in the UV spectrum).
Anyway, it doesn't matter if it reflects or absorbs, Titanium Dioxide is a pretty awesome sunscreen agent for two main reasons: it gives a nice broad spectrum coverage and it's highly stable. Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less good at 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Regular sized Titanium Dioxide also has a great safety profile, it's non-irritating and is pretty much free from any health concerns (like estrogenic effect worries with some chemical filters).
The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, "unspreadable" mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problem and the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improve both spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.
The main concern with nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbed into the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreens with nanoparticles do stay on the surface of the skin where they should be.
All in all, Titanium Dioxide is a famous sunscreen agent and for good reason, it gives broad spectrum UV protection (best at UVB and UVA II), it's highly stable, and it has a good safety profile. It's definitely one of the best UV-filter agents we have today, especially in the US where new-generation Tinosorb filters are not (yet) approved.
Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (2.25%) - goodie
Also-called: Tinosorb M, Bisoctrizole | What-it-does: sunscreen
The long name covers a nice sunscreen agent and quite a special one at that: It's a "hybrid" sunscreen meaning it's half-way between physical (the ones that, at least partly, reflect the sun) and chemical agents (that absorb the rays, which most sunscreens do). It is a new generation UV filter and, just like its sister, Trinosorb S, it is not available in the US.
It gives nice broad-spectrum coverage (280-400 nm) with peak protection at 305 nm and 360 nm and it is highly photostable. It can also help to stabilize other less stable sunscreens, like Octinoxate and is generally happy to work together with other UV-filters.
Its hybrid nature means that it is organic like the chemical agents, but it is neither water nor oil soluble and works as a suspension of micro fine particles. If the small particles scare you, we have good news: the safety profile of Tinosorb M is great. It is not absorbed into the skin and unlike some other chemical sunscreens, it does not show estrogenic activity.
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (1.6%) - goodie
Butylene glycol, or let's just call it BG, is a multi-tasking colorless, syrupy liquid. It's a great pick for creating a nice feeling product.
BG's main job is usually to be a solvent for the other ingredients. Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin (penetration enhancer), making the product spread nicely over the skin (slip agent), and attracting water (humectant) into the skin.
It's an ingredient whose safety hasn't been questioned so far by anyone (at least not that we know about). BG is approved by Ecocert and is also used enthusiastically in natural products. BTW, it's also a food additive.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
A super common emollient that makes your skin feel nice and smooth. It comes from coconut oil and glycerin, it's light-textured, clear, odorless and non-greasy. It's a nice ingredient that just feels good on the skin, and it's also easy to formulate with. No wonder it's popular.
What-it-does: viscosity controlling, absorbent/mattifier
A white powdery thing that's the major component of glass and sand. In cosmetics, it's often in products that are supposed to keep your skin matte as it has great oil-absorbing abilities. It's also used as a helper ingredient to thicken up products or suspend insoluble particles.
A common little helper ingredient that helps water and oil to mix together, aka emulsifier.
Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer
Also-called: Aristoflex AVC;Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer | What-it-does: viscosity controlling
A kind of polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) that helps to create beautiful gel-like textures. It's also a texturizer and thickener for oil-in-water emulsions. It gives products a good skin feel and does not make the formula tacky or sticky.
It works over a wide pH range and is used between 0.5-1.2%.
Avena Sativa Kernel Flour - goodie
What-it-does: soothing, antioxidant, emollient
A finely powdered form of Oat Extract that has the same skin soothing, skin protecting and antioxidant benefits we have written about at Avena Sativa Kernel Extract. It is loaded with skin-goodies such as anti-inflammatory agent beta-glucan, skin nourishing lipids, and moisturizing carbohydrates. A real goodie for dry, irritated, inflamed or eczema-prone skin.
What-it-does: surfactant/cleansing, emulsion stabilising
A vegetable origin (coconut or palm kernel oil and glucose) cleansing agent with great foaming abilities. It's also mild to the skin and readily biodegradable.
Caprylhydroxamic Acid
What-it-does: chelating
A chelating agent that helps to preserve cosmetic products by neutralizing the metal ions (especially iron) in the formula (that usually get into there from water). Its special thing is that it also acts as a biostatic and fungistatic agent and remains active even at high pH.
It is often coupled with antimicrobial glycols (such as propanediol) to create a "preservative free preservative system" for cosmetic products.
A type of silicone that's used mainly to stop the product from foaming when it's not needed. It's also often used to coat the sunscreen agent titanium dioxide for better spreading and easier formulation.
It's one of the most commonly used thickeners and emulsion stabilizers. If the product is too runny, a little xanthan gum will make it more gel-like. Used alone, it can make the formula sticky and it is a good team player so it is usually combined with other thickeners and so-called rheology modifiers (helper ingredients that adjust the flow and thus the feel of the formula). The typical use level of Xantha Gum is below 1%, it is usually in the 0.1-0.5% range.
Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules (polysaccharide) produced from individual sugar molecules (glucose and sucrose) via fermentation. It's approved by Ecocert and also used in the food industry (E415).
Also-called: Iron Oxide Yellow | What-it-does: colorant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
Yellow Iron Oxide is the super common inorganic (as in no carbon atom in the molecule) pigment that gives the yellow tones in your foundation. Blended with red and black iron oxides, it is essential in all "flesh-toned" makeup products.
Chemically speaking, it is hydrated iron III oxide and depending on the conditions of manufacture, it can range from a light lemon to an orange-yellow shade.
Also-called: Iron Oxide Red | What-it-does: colorant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
Red Iron Oxide is the super common pigment that gives the familiar, "rust" red color. It is also the one that gives the pink tones in your foundation. Chemically speaking, it is iron III oxide (Fe2O3).
Also-called: Iron Oxide Black | What-it-does: colorant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0
Black Iron Oxide is the super common inorganic (as in no carbon atom in the molecule) pigment that controls the darkness of your foundation or gives the blackness to your mascara. Blended with red and black iron oxides, it is essential in all "flesh-toned" makeup products.
Chemically speaking, it is a mixture of iron II and iron III oxide. Btw, this guy, unlike the yellow and red pigments, is magnetic.

Israel-United Arab Emirates Peace Accord Stuns Middle East
After rejecting all offers of peace and statehood for decades, the Palestinian Authority appears to be losing its grip on the regional peace process.
By Munr Kazmir | Kazmir.org
President Donald Trump meet with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, in the Oval Office of the White House, Monday, May 15, 2017, in Washington, D.C. (Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead)
Last week, U.S. President Donald J. Trump made the surprise announcement that his administration had successfully brokered a milestone agreement to normalize diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel.
The Israel–United Arab Emirates peace agreement, or the Abraham Accord, is a historic step, the first of its kind between Israel and a major Arab country since 1994.
"HUGE breakthrough today! Historic Peace Agreement between our two GREAT friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates!" Trump tweeted to announce the deal.
Since Israel was created as a Jewish state in 1945, it has been largely isolated from and had tense relations with many countries in the predominantly Muslim Middle East.
While Egypt and Jordan have already made peace with Israel, the deal between UAE and Israel is especially significant. UAE is the first Gulf state and only the third Arab country to have diplomatic ties to Israel.
President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed released a joint statement on August 13, after the three spoke and agreed to the, "full normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates."
According to the statement, the diplomatic breakthrough was, "at the request of President Trump."
For its part, Israel will, "suspend declaring sovereignty over areas outlined in the President's Vision for Peace and focus its efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the Arab and Muslim world."
"Our vision is one of peace, security, and prosperity — in this region, and in the world. Our goal is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God," said President Trump.
Israel and the UAE also said they will continue efforts to, "achieve a just, comprehensive and enduring resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
"Opening direct ties between two of the Middle East's most dynamic societies and advanced economies will transform the region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and forging closer people-to-people relations," the statement also read.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously pledged to annex parts of the West Bank. This new development, with the Trump administration acting as an intermediary, has put an indefinite pause on Israel's efforts to annex parts of the West Bank claimed by Palestinians.
Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed recognized the agreement to halt the annexation plan as a key factor behind normalization.
"During a call with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, an agreement was reached to stop further Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories. The UAE and Israel also agreed to cooperation and setting a roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship," Bin Zayed tweeted.
Israel and UAE delegations are expected to meet in the coming weeks to, "sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit."
Establishing normal diplomatic ties with Arab countries has long been a strategic goal for Israel.
Going forward, Israel and the UAE will cooperate in a myriad of fields including education, health care, energy, trade and security. The two countries will exchange ambassadors, establish embassies, and open direct flights, allowing pilgrims from throughout the Muslim world to visit holy sites in Israel.
In response, the Palestinian Authority has recalled its ambassador to the United Arab Emirates in protest over the "betrayal" of making a peace agreement with Israel. The Palestinians also announced an emergency Arab League meeting to address the peace deal.
"At the request of President Mahmud Abbas, the Palestinian foreign ministry has decided to immediately recall its ambassador to the United Arab Emirates," Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse.
Nabil Abu Rudeinah, spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, called the peace treaty, "a blow to the Arab Peace Initiative and the decisions of the Arab and Islamic summits, as well as an aggression against the Palestinian people," Newsweek reported.
"The Palestinian leadership rejects what the United Arab Emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinian cause," he said. Calling the peace accord "a de facto recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," he demanded the UAE withdraw from the agreement immediately.
"Neither the Emirates nor any other party has the right to speak on behalf of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian leadership shall allow nobody to interfere in the Palestinian affairs or decide on their behalf regarding their legitimate rights in their homeland," Rudeinah added.
Top White House adviser Jared Kushner said the Palestinian leadership's credibility has fallen to an "all time low."
"We're not going to chase the Palestinian leadership," Kushner said. "Their credibility is just really falling to an all time low and even people who want to help the Palestinians, those people are just saying that you can't help people who don't want to help themselves."
Over the past few decades, the Palestinian authority has rejected all offers of peace- even an offer by Israel during the Clinton administration, of full statehood, 92% of the West Bank, all of Gaza and a capital in Jerusalem. The Palestinians have rejected statehood four times.
After they rejected President Obama's attempts at peace deals in 2009 and 2014, the tide in the Middle East has been steadily turning against the Palestinian authority.
The rise and threat of ISIS, coupled with the regional expansion and nuclear aspirations of Iran, has made sympathy for the Palestinian cause the least of concerns for many Arab nations.
Middle Eastern countries are waking to the reality that poverty, extremism, and Iran- rather than Israel- are the real threats to their sovereignty.

Why Exercise Makes You Cough
Kirsten Curtis | 24 March 2015
Nothing can break your post-run euphoria quite like a coughing fit. But why are you hacking now when you breathed just fine during your workout?
Coughing during or after exercise is a common symptom of a condition called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), which occurs when the airways in your lungs narrow temporarily in response to any kind of physical activity that revs up your heart rate.
"This makes it more difficult for the air to get through into the lungs," says Jonathan Parsons, M.D., director of the Ohio State University Multidisciplinary Cough Program.
It's similar to what happens to your lungs during asthma. In fact, EIB used to be known as "exercise-induced asthma." But unlike asthma, where attacks can be triggered by a variety of things like smoke, pollen, mold, pet dander, or viruses, EIB is sparked only by exercise.
Most asthmatics have suffered EIB symptoms during some point in their lives, says Dr. Parsons. So if you have asthma, you may already know exercise can cause some distress.
But EIB can affect up to an estimated 15 percent of the general, asthma-free population. Here's how to spot the signs and treat the condition.
Symptoms of EIB are nonspecific, meaning they're similar to those caused by other conditions.
Common signs include shortness of breath, tightness in your chest, cough, wheezing, and difficulty getting air into your lungs. You might also feel like you have decreased endurance or abdominal discomfort.
The symptoms are often mild to moderate: You may just feel a slight wheeze or a bit of tightness in your chest—more of an annoyance than anything more serious.
But the attacks can also be severe, requiring you to stop what you're doing to catch your breath. In some cases, you may even need to go to the emergency room to get your breathing back under control.
When Do You Get It?
Usually it takes about 10 to 15 minutes of exercise to provoke an EIB episode, Dr. Parsons says.
Any exercise that speeds up your heart rate can trigger the condition, though it's much more common in endurance athletes, like runners and swimmers.
EIB pops up after short, intense bouts of exercise as well, like sprinting or even circuit training without rest periods.
The kind of air you breathe can play a role, too. EIB tends to flare more when the air lacks humidity, which is common on cold days. So that may be one reason why your outdoor runs have left you panting lately.
"Your lungs don't like dry air," says Dr. Parsons. "So the airways try to humidify it, and when they do, they become dehydrated. Dehydrated airways are irritable and much more likely to constrict or narrow."

Ian Haste, the YouTuber from the Chapman family, wants to get inside your shopping cart
The YouTube chef Ian Haste tells Nick Curtis why he'd like to change your weekly shop

Ian Haste: "If I can have a career writing cookbooks, I'll be more than happy"CHRIS MCANDREW FOR THE TIMES
It has always seemed strange to me that once some online influencers reach any sort of critical mass, they revert to traditional media and bring out a book. It happened with Joe Sugg, his sister, Zoella, and their "novels", and Deliciously Ella and her various recipe books. Now Ian Haste, whose YouTube cookery channel Haste's Kitchen has 91,000 subscribers and who has produced sponsored content for big supermarkets, has written a cookbook of his own.
The 42-year-old is married to YouTube royalty. His wife, Nic, originally a make-up artist, is part of the Norwich-based Chapman clan of mega-influencers: she, her three siblings and a few close associates run online channels covering make-up tutorials, personal training and men's style, that reach more than 21 million people…

Jay Schiavo, Director of Products and Markets at Entrust Datacard , presented on the changing world of SSL. He explained how the technology, the needs, and browser requirements and displays have all changed. He also touched on how customer expectations have transformed and with that how CAs have changed and transformed to meet these. He gave an overview of these changes, what it means to you, and what you should be doing to mitigate risk and securely deploy SSL.
Evan O'Regan, Director of Product management for Authentication at Entrust Datacard, delivered a session on how the world is in the midst of real changes that will fundamentally transform the way organizations handle authentication in consumer, enterprise and citizen applications; and outlined how identity-based security is needed to offer more security, simplicity and a new and better user experience. Leveraging his experience on authentication in the US, Canada and Europe Evan spoke on the move to mobile and truly secure identities.

Recent Cybersecurity Incidents on the Campaign Trail Highlight Risks for Ordinary Companies
By Christopher Ott on November 3, 2020
Posted in Security, United States
Although this is no ordinary campaign, recent news shows how politicians have many of the same worries as typical businesses. On Thursday, October 29, 2020, the Wisconsin Republican Party reported that it had been victimized by a Business Email Compromise (BEC). There are many ways in which a criminal may conduct a BEC scam but one of the most common occurs when hackers compromise a vendor's email accounts to hijack vendor payments. With this access, the hacker prepares elaborately fake invoices (or other supporting documents) mirroring the appearance, content, amount, and timing of typical documents from the vendor. The hacker then submits a request to change the usual payment procedures. The hackers' new payment plan always involves a well-known U.S. bank. When the victim business makes the next vendor payment, it goes quickly out of the U.S.-based bank and out of the country.
That is exactly what appears to have happened here when hackers stole $2.3 million from the Wisconsin Republican Party that was intended for use in the president's re-election campaign. The theft was accomplished by tampering with invoices submitted to the party from four vendors. The modified invoices directed the state GOP to send money to accounts controlled by the hackers after a successful phishing campaign. (Phishing should be the subject of a separate, longer discussion. For today's purposes, it is enough to know that "phishing" involves using emails to trick the recipient to hand over network control, credentials, and/or install malware that gives the hackers remote access to those systems.)
BEC cybercrime is big business.
While splashy malware attacks receive media attention, BEC fraud quietly cost businesses billions (with a "B"!) of dollars in recent reported losses every year.
Email remains a top attack vector for BEC attackers because, compared to hacking a company's network infrastructure, it provides an easier, demonstrably profitable path for criminals.
These are often single-use email accounts and the hackers establish or hijack tens of thousands of these accounts every year.
Similarly, the election infrastructure is also grappling with ransomware attacks. Ransomware is a type of malware that threatens to publish the victim's data or perpetually block access to it unless a ransom is paid. These attacks can be very disruptive. Imagine that you are running a hospital – which is the subject of another recent hacking campaign – and your health data is inaccessible: people could actually die. Ransomware costs are climbing rapidly. This is complicated by the fact that a company can also face fines for paying that ransomware.
We at Rothwell Figg often litigate and investigate the fallout from these BEC and ransomware events for clients. Although the consequences can be dire, there are real advantages to be had from smart and active cybersecurity legal response. Every organization could benefit from some work on their cyber hygiene and no organization is immune to these risks. The Wisconsin Republican Party and various election officials are learning their lessons in the public eye.
