DeJoy Says Postal Workers Could Abuse Election Overtime Order

Erik Larson Monday, 28 September 2020 11:36 AM EDT
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told a judge that a court order directing the U.S. Postal Service to reinstate overtime to ensure speedy delivery of mail-in ballots for the Nov. 3 election could be abused by workers.
In a filing over the weekend, lawyers for DeJoy, the USPS, and President Donald Trump asked U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero in Manhattan to amend his Sept. 21 injunction to give the agency more discretion in approving overtime. The order currently requires the USPS to automatically grant overtime for the 10 days surrounding the election.
The injunction was issued in a case brought by a group of voters and political candidates who accuse DeJoy and Trump of trying to hobble the agency with a roll-out of major operational changes that led to nationwide delays in delivery. Marrero's order was intended to help ensure the USPS can meet an expected record surge in mail-in ballots across the U.S. due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The USPS, DeJoy and Trump said in their Saturday filing that the court's order "could be construed in ways that require the approval of overtime unrelated to election mail, impose impracticable administrative and financial burdens on the Postal Service, and create confusion amongst its employees and managers."
In a response filed with the court on Sunday, the plaintiffs said DeJoy's claim about potential overtime waste relies "on a series of wild speculations," including "that significant numbers of the dedicated workers at the Postal Service will, essentially, engage in mass fraud." They called the concern "almost laughable given the ten-day limitation of the order."
The USPS is also seeking to amend an injunction against DeJoy's operational changes that was issued in a parallel case in Yakima, Washington. The agency wants the court order to acknowledge that high-speed mail sorting machines DeJoy ordered dismantled can't be reassembled because they were stripped for parts.

The German Ideology Never Took Place
TF Carver
The German Ideology as a 'book' dates only from the early 1920s and 1930s. The opening 'chapter' 'I. Feuerbach' was factitiously constructed to solve the problem posed by Marx's engimatic reference in 1859 to 'self-clarification'. This was in autobiographical passages detailing his 'outlook', termed by Engels the 'materialist interpretation of history'. Factual evidence presented here makes this framing untenable. 'The German ideology' manuscript materials of 1845-6 are best studied -- not as a 'smooth text' of the 'last hand' -- but as a 'variant-rich' text that allows access to a 'laboratory' where Marx and Engels were learning to think as they did

Q: Prisma data proxy npm script errors with 'DATABASE_URL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file After creating a Prisma data proxy by following this guide, I switched the DATABASE_URL to my proxy connection string in my .env
DATABASE_URL="prisma://..."

I would like to migrate changes to my database. However, after reading this from Prisma on how to migrate changes with their proxy, I refactored my .env vars to include another variable that will be used in an NPM script whenever I wish to migrate some changes (the script essentially swaps the proxy string with the cloud-hosted DB string)
Refactored .env

Goals – Jonez, Where We Going?
So for this month, I told myself I would be doing something different with my writing, instead of only writing when something happens, I promised myself I would write every single day for this month. I've been told that it takes 21 days to create or break a habit, so consider this my experiment. I wanted to keep it light, so I didn't place any specifics on what I could write about, the only requirement; I have to write, and publish whatever I wrote.
Seems simple enough as a challenge, right? Well let the writing begin.
FYI I am a tad bit late in writing this as work spilled over, I arrived home at 2:32am, and began writing this as soon as my laptop was ready.

The New Normal: Securely Accessing Corporate Resources Remotely
July 17, 2020 | Posted in: Microsoft 365, Office 365
Keith Braun
At Steeves and Associates, we understand that getting used to this new way of working, with a predominately remote workforce is impacting many businesses across the globe and it prompts questions such as:
How do you enable a remote workforce?
How can organizations safeguard identity and information access?
Organizations are challenged by having employees working on a mix of both company and employee-owned devices, accessing services remotely, so how can IT teams protect corporate information, and importantly identify people who hold the keys to corporate assets.
Read on to find out our recommendations on how to achieve this.
Throughout this blog, we are aiming to answer the following questions:
How can you configure multi-factor authentication (MFA) for users?
What other methods are available to ensure secured authenticated access?
What's required for providing secure offsite access to corporate resources?
What are my options if I don't have a scalable VPN access solution?
Check out our Remote Working On-Demand Webinar Series here >>
Quick Identity and Access Wins
Centralized Identities
You might be wondering what's the best strategy for connecting computers to your tenant, and the answer is: it depends!
Azure Active Directory (AD) Register is for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), aka personal devices, and the user will sign on to the device with their local work account.
Azure Active Directory (AD) Join, which is cloud-only and allows users to sign into their device with their company email address. This authenticates your Active Directory and even though this is a cloud-only option, you still have on-premises servers and the identity gets integrated with your resources through the synchronization of Azure AD Connect.
Azure Active Directory (AD) Hybrid Join, is connected to AD and the cloud, it can be managed by Configuration Manager or Co-managed with Microsoft Intune.
If you haven't already, you probably need to synchronize your on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory, as you need this to support Hybrid Identity. It's required for most identity, security, and management solutions including Intune, Co-management, and Configuration Manager. Devices that are hybrid AD joint, are owned by an organization and are signed in with the Azure AD account, belonging to that organization. They exist in the cloud and on-premises.
If you have on-premises servers, you'll have an Active Directory to manage your user security. You will want to synchronize those user identities to your Office 365 Tenant so that users only have one identity to remember. Also, administrators only have to deal with one synchronized identity.
Microsoft has developed a very nice program to do this and it's called Azure AD Connect. It has a wizard-driven install and when you install it, you will need to make some choices for synchronizing your directory. The default and recommended way to use this is a 'password hash synchronization' which supports single sign-on.
Note that there are other methods to synchronize, such as pass-through synchronization but if you need to get your tenant synced, then the default method is typically the way to go.
Watch Our On-Demand Webinar:
'Securely Accessing Corporate Resources Remotely'
Watch the webinar now to learn insights from our senior identity and access consultants on the optimal approach to securing access to your corporate resources.
If you haven't already implemented Centralized Identity in your Azure AD, installing Azure AD Connect and running your organization immediately has the opportunity to realize some significant security benefits.
Authentication is no longer dependent on the availability of your on-premises domain controller.
Users can be authenticated from any internet-connected device.
From a user perspective, the centralized identity is nearly invisible, and makes their lives easier.
Super Easy Win #1: Single Sign-On
It's worth setting up single sign-on with your software-as-a-service apps, users really love this! The same username and password are used to authenticate a myriad of resources such as:
Users will be able to access applications from the Office 365 portal or through the Azure AD 'my apps' access panel. Administrators can centralize user account management and automatically add or remove user access to applications based on group membership. There may be a few issues to work through like not all browsers behaving the same, but in general, this is a big win.
Super Easy Win #2: Self-Service Password Reset
Not only will it free up your administrator time, but users will be able to reset their passwords without waiting for IT. Consider doing this at the same time as you implement Multi-factor Authentication (MFA). Now, this is an Azure AD Premium service, but the cost benefits are easy to justify.
It will free up your helpdesk time
There are nice tutorials online
It's easy to do a staged rollout
Quickfire Benefits of Centralised Identities
You have one identity to manage
You can apply Conditional Access policies
There's one sign-in log to check
There are fewer support calls
For users:
It's a more convenient
There's only one ID to remember
Users sign in once

WATCH NOW >>
The modern security perimeter now extends beyond your organization's network to include user and device identity. You can utilize these identity signals as part of their access control decisions. Conditional Access is the tool used by Azure Active Directory to bring these identity signals together to make decisions and enforce organizational policies. Conditional Access is at the heart of the new identity-driven control plane. Conditional Access policies, at their simplest, are 'if/then' statements; if a user wants access to a resource they must complete an action.
There are a couple of ways to implement Conditional Access, one is called Security Defaults, and the other is through building your own Conditional Access policies.
What are Security Defaults?
These days, every Office 365 plan comes with the option to enable Security Defaults. This is a great win for smaller organizations as it's easy to set up. Basically, you just need to turn on one switch. Once this has been switched on, it will set up recommended preconfigured settings.
So, when you switch on Security Defaults this is what will happen:
It will require all IT admins to use MFA (Multi-factor Authentication)
It will require all users to register for MFA
Users will be challenged for MFA whenever necessary
It will disable legacy authentication, which you can't do with MFA
When you enable secure defaults, all users must now register for multi-factor authentication. So it's important to do a bit of planning and communicating. The cool thing is the process of signing in after enabling Security Defaults will actually walk the users through registering for multi-factor authentication using the Microsoft authenticator app.
Users will have 14 days to complete the process, so they will have plenty of time. The 14-day countdown is tied to each user, not when you enable secure defaults. The 14-day countdown begins the first time a user signs on after you enable Security Defaults.
If I Block Legacy Authentication Will It Break My Existing Applications?
Yes, it could break your existing applications because up until Outlook 2013 they didn't support legacy authentication. You've got to make sure you have Outlook 2013 or newer, and it's the same for iOS, you want that iOS to be version 13 or higher. For Android, and even for iOS, the recommended app for looking at your email is the Outlook Mobile App.
Is There A Way to Test Conditional Access Policies?
As an IT/ security administrator, the last thing you want to do is lock users out, so in the Conditional Access Portal there's something called the 'what-if tool' so you can build your Conditional Access policy and see what happens to a particular user and how it affects their access.
What Should Be Considered When Using Security Defaults?
The users will only be able to use the authenticator app for MFA
The authenticator app works Really well and it's easy to use but some organizations that will be an issue as they need to use other second-factor methods
If you have requirements for custom Conditional Access policies, you will have to leave secure defaults off and build your own set of Conditional Access policies.
Because Security Defaults will block authentication against the old protocols. You will need to do a little planning again, you wanna make sure your users are using current apps like Outlook from the Office 365 subscriptions.
In general, Security Defaults are a fantastic quick win for many organizations and, if you have a relatively new tenant that was created after October 22nd, 2019 your Security Default should already be enabled. If you're using the baseline security policies then these were replaced by Security Defaults back in February. If the Security Default sounds limiting or you see yourself growing out of them, you need to look at setting up Conditional Access policies.
For insights into the tools and technology that will enable your workforce to work remotely, securely – Watch Our 4-Part Webinar Series >>
Is It Possible To See The Effects Of A Conditional Access Policy By Having Aad Report Back Without Actually Blocking The Access?
In the Conditional Access policies, there are three options. You can turn it into a 'report-only' mode, where it doesn't block the user it just reports into the science console or you can put it 'on' or 'off'.
It's without a doubt, worth implementing MFA for all users, as it really does an incredible job at securing identities.
According to Dark Reading, "Access credentials in the form of email address and passwords are the two most compromised data types. 44% for email addresses and 40% for passwords."
With the above stats, you can see why just turning on MFA results in a huge quick win for your organization's security!
Conditional Access Policies:
When users start complaining about MFA or the thought of implementing MFA, we must reiterate that this is an industry norm now and that it's the recommended best practice. Using the authenticator app is quite easy, but it's important to let users know that once they're setup with MFA, we can turn off the policy that requires them to change their password every few months, which is such a huge win.
MFA Benefits for End-users:
Reduces the risk of being hacked
Reduces the number of logins required
Removes the requirement of changing their password every 120 days.
MFA Benefits for IT Administrators:
Secures access to resources
Reduces the risk of an attack on admin accounts
Multi-factor Authentication Prerequisites Before Implementation:
If you're a cloud-only environment, there are no prerequisites – you're ready to roll.
If you have a Hybrid Identity Scenario, you must have Azure AD Connect.
If you have on-premises legacy applications published for cloud access, you're going to have to install the Azure AD application proxy.
If you're using Azure MFA with RADIUS Authentication, you need the network policy server and you have to make sure your users are using a current version of Outlook.
Greater than Outlook 2013 and on the Apple devices, iOS has to be iOS 12 or later, as the legacy authentication protocols aren't supported by those older applications.
Multi-factor Authentication Quick Wins:
After you turn on MFA for all users, you will have reduced the chance of their identities being compromised.

Film Review: 'Alt-Right: Age of Rage' Chronicles Events Leading Up to Charlottesville
By Kam Williams | The Skanner News
The election of Donald Trump has ostensibly served to embolden Ku Klux Klansmen, neo-Nazis and the rest of the Alt-Right movement, and it also seems to have given these social outcasts hope of moving into the mainstream. In fact, the American Renaissance Conference, an annual gathering of white supremacists, was suddenly so popular that organizers had to shut down registration weeks before the event was staged last July.
It was clear to the participants that the new President had sent out a signal that it's perfectly fine to be a racist. And they showed up in droves, not bothering to hide their faces as they entered the venue, although there's footage of one snarling, "Don't record me, [N-word!]" at a black counter-demonstrator with a camera.
But from footage shot at that rally in Dickson, Tennessee, you could already see trouble was brewing. For, there's a chilling video clip of a neo-Nazi revving his engine as if he wanted to hit some protesters standing in the street. "You're not running anyone over!" a female marcher yelled at him. This was just a month before the Charlottesville rally where Heather Heyer was struck and killed by a car driven by one of these hate-filled creeps.
Directed by Adam Bhala Lough, Alt-Right: Age of Rage is an eye-opening documentary chronicling the recent rise of the white supremacist movement in the Age of Trump. This fascinating film features interviews with both neo-Nazis and the intrepid activists determined to expose them.
Specifically, the director opted to focus most closely on Richard Spencer, the advocate of black genocide who coined the term "Alt-Right," and Daryle Lamont Jenkins, an African-American veteran of the U.S. military who fervently believes that "evil flourishes when good people do nothing." For decades, Daryle has dedicated his life to monitoring people like Spencer, if only to inform their bosses and neighbors how they spend their free time.
You might be thinking, "Hey, why not just ignore these neo-Nazis, and maybe nobody will know about them in the absence of any media attention." That tactic might have worked prior to the Digital Age, when recruitment is rampant over the internet.
The picture culminates with the confrontation in Charlottesville where all hell broke loose when the police inexplicably allowed armed white supremacists chanting "Jews will not replace us!" and other vile slogans to surround anti-Fascists in an area of Emancipation Park set aside for a counter-demonstration. Overall, a sobering expose' proving the President wrong when he suggests that there are both good and bad Nazis.

'Success is my protest': These Oakridge hip hop stars are following their dreams
Andrea May Sahouri
When the kids of Oakridge Young Educated Artists take the stage, they own it. It's theirs.
I know this because I've seen them perform at Wooly's for the Black Futures fundraiser in March.
Their energy was magnetic as they bounced across the stage to hip hop beats. The OYEA kids rapped four original hip hop songs about their world and the world around them. They showed nothing but confidence at every verse.
"Oakridge, we get lit. Oakridge, we make hits," they rapped in unison. Emmett Phillips, their youth navigator at Oakridge, was their hype man.
"We Oakridge, oh yeah! We take risks, oh yeah! No fear."
OYEA is an after-school fine arts program in the Oakridge Neighborhood, a nonprofit housing community that is home to hundreds of refugees and immigrants in Des Moines. Under the OYEA umbrella, Oakridge kids can get involved in Be Real Studios, — which teaches them design, branding and entrepreneurship — performance arts, visual arts and more.
What started as an OYEA playwright and acting group — where the kids write, direct and perform their own plays — transformed into a hip hop group during the summer of 2020, Phillips, 28, said. The kids were asked by a local artist to write a song about how they felt about the George Floyd uprisings nationwide.
"We wanted justice," Abeny Kur, 11, said. So they recorded the song "Success Is My Protest" in an Oakridge closet. They've gained a following since then. With more performances on the way, the group has already performed at least 10 times in the Des Moines metro, including last year's Ankeny Juneteenth Celebration and the Des Moines Arts Festival.
And at Wooly's, they met their first fan in person.
"I felt like a superstar. We got to go into the VIP room, we got chicken wings," Asjed Bokhary, 11, said.
I caught up with the OYEA kids a few weeks after their Wooly's performance, and their energy was the same.
To warm up, they picked out a hip hop beat on YouTube and gathered in a circle. The kids hyped each other up as one by one, they'd go into the center of the circle to show off their dance moves.
Then they showed off their lyricism.
"Let's get lit. Let's go," Mariam Noah, 12, said before spitting a verse for me. Asjed followed with a verse, too.
I was so impressed. These kids have talent — talent that they are proud of.
Oakridge kids follow their dreams
OYEA is an opportunity for kids to shine. "It means we can follow our dreams," Abeny said.
Like Intcar Koudi, 13, who wants to be a singer. She provides the vocals on the hook of "Success Is My Protest."
At Wooly's, "I just went out there. I told myself I was going to do this for my grandma — she just passed away," Intcar said.
And like Mariam, who didn't even know she could rap until "Success Is My Protest."
"Since then, you've been rapping like crazy," Phillips told Mariam. She smiled before freestyling a verse on the spot.
But OYEA is more than the opportunities the program provides.
"It's friendship and love," Nani Mneur, 13, said.
"We are family — and when we see what they can do, they blow our minds," Phillips said.
"I love them. I'm very proud of them. I've cried several times watching footage of them. They are stunning. I can't tell them that, though — they'll make fun of me," Phillips said smiling, looking toward his OYEA family.

The day of Women's March Global's anniversary is coming up on 21 January. This year, our world looks a bit different, and many of us cannot march due to the pandemic. But after human rights authorities declared in 2020 that gender-based violence and inequities in the workplace are as bad as they were 25 years ago, we knew we had to organise for collective action. We are partnering with a number of organisations this year, to mobilise like we've never done before for women's human rights, in a digital event launching 21 January.

Why I March: Women's March Paris
Bodily autonomy is a crucial issue. Indeed, the right to control our own bodies is the place where most of our intersecting struggles meet. However, in the debate over bodily autonomy in France, certain voices are almost completely ignored: those of people of colour, Muslims, LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities, fat people, and sex workers… In this context, we also need to take a much harder look at how colonialism affects the right of certain bodies to exist in French society. This year, we wanted to hold a round table instead of a march so that we could sit down with local activists and engage in some in-depth discussions about the current situation in France and how we can concretely advance human rights. Indeed, after the round table, we will write an opinion piece to be submitted to one of the large newspapers in which we will summarize the major points of the conversation and the specific actions we now need to take.
Get To Know Our #MarchForOurHumanRights Partners
We have partnered with SheDecides, Amnesty International, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Planned Parenthood Global, Equality Now and Minority Veterans of America, Marie Stopes International & WOW — Women of the World Festival for the 2020 March for Our Human Rights. These international organisations are committed to advocating for the advancement of women's rights and provide invaluable resources and services to women in need across the world.
Why I March
It's the 8th of Jan 2020 and there's a distinct feeling that movement organisers are collectively tired. The past three years have been intense on so many levels. Throughout it all, we have stayed true to the purpose of grassroots organising and have continued to show up, speak out, unite, and put our bodies on the line for our collective liberation. The cost has been our mental and emotional fatigue, physical exhaustion, burn out……..
Glorious & Cash
Starting in October we teamed up with Les Glorieuses to talk about why money matters for gender equality. There is a desperate need for more transparency when it comes to these discussions and our goal is to provide a global perspective.

Jackie Kallen Net Worth
in Richest Athletes › Coaches
Jackie Kallen Net Worth:
Jackie Kallen New Worth: Jackie Kallen is a former boxing journalist and current boxing manager who has a net worth of $10 million. Jackie Kallen was born April 23, 1946 in Detroit, Michigan. She is one of boxing's first and most successful female managers. Known as The First Lady of Boxing," Jackie Kallen has been involved in the sport of boxing for almost 35 years.
She started as a boxing journalist, then became the publicist for the legendary Kronk Gym in Detroit, and eventually moved into management. Her success in this male-dominated business inspired the Meg Ryan film Against the Ropes."Having guided the careers of more than a half dozen champions, she was a regular on NBC's The Contender with Sylvester Stallone. She is the author of the self-help book Hit Me with Your Best Shot. Jackie Kallen was the only woman to own and operate a boxing gym when she opened Galaxy Boxing in Redford in the '90's. The gym served the Detroit area and was the launching pad for many boxers' careers. After moving to Los Angeles in 1997, Kallen got friendly with LA Sheriff Lee Baca and he appointed her as Youth Sports Director. With his support, she opened a boxing gym in South Central LA for the kids-at-risk in the community. Also a motivational speaker, Kallen has traveled the U.S. speaking to groups about empowerment, making it in the face of adversity, her years as an entertainment columnist, juggling family and career and the benefits of a positive attitude. Her autobiography, Between the Ropes was published in 2013. Kallen referred to fighter James Toney many times as someone she loved like a son, but there were rampant rumors that she and Toney did not get along well behind the scenes. The pair had an on and off friendship until their bond was finally broken in the late '90s. Kallen was diagnosed both with heart disease and cancer during that decade, but after three surgeries she recovered and is enjoying good health.
Kallen currently lives in the Detroit area and manages three professional boxers, including Bronco McKart, and a prospect from the Philippines.

It all started a couple of months ago. I submitted a presentation and my friend Philippe Fierens submitted a panel session together with Adam Bolinski (Ora600.pl) , but unfortunately, I'm joining #teamRejected Lots of cool and nice people had to join as well, so it's not too bad.
Then great news came and my boss asked if I was interested of visiting Oracle Openworld. I didn't have to think twice, so my answer was yes very quickly.
The trip starts early. Very early … on saturday at 04:30 in the morning we had the appointment at the company. There a little coach picked us up and after a 2hour drive, we arrived at schiphol.
A nice group of friendly and interesting people traveling together. This will be fun!
After a short check-in, bagage drop-off and all other security checks, we had breakfast and after that, off we go!
Personally, I'm very sceptic to this new "hype", but the only way to know if I'm right or wrong is to go with an open mind and experience it.
10:30h of flying later, we safely landed in San Francisco. Then the necessary checks, and we took a cab to the hotel. Checking in and then off we went to the Moscone center for the registration.
It IS impressive. People told me it's big and large, but if you stand there for yourself, you know they're right. This is going to be cool.
After registration we went for a walk. Doing something a little bit active in order not to suffer from the jetlag. Then I received a message from Philippe, he's already at Jillians, so we went to have some drinks together to catch up. Always nice to see friends again! And friends do have some good ideas, this night's dinner would be sushi. A very typical sushi bar but so good! If I could find it back, I would recommend it!
The next day, sunday, ok there are already some sessions, but for my first time in San Francisco I really wanted to see the bridge. So with the oracle belgium people we we went biking. After riding the Goldengate bridge and taking the Ferry back, it's time to follow some sessions.
I tried to create a varying schedule filled with attending some sessions and going to the demo-grounds. My personal feeling was that you really had to search well for technical sessions, whilst when walking a moment in the demo grounds, you could talk to lots of technical people and some of my questions I had were answered very quickly. So it became clear very quickly that this was the place to be.
Sunday evening, the glorious moment of every OOW – virgin. Larry's keynote. To be honest, he let me down. After hearing so much about the keynotes maybe my expectations were a bit high but, it is an impressive event. We closed the evening with some drinks and then … early to bed!
Monday a day full of sessions/demogrounds/… but most of all, trying to get to know as much as possible about the newly announced exadata, the Exadata SL6-2. A sparc based engineered system which I think Oracle is going to push pretty hard. Engineers I was talking to, said that this machine is to be used in the Oracle cloud. Still trying to figure out on how to check it easily to confirm this.
Wednesday, the last full day. I spent most of the time on the demo grounds this day. Taking a picture of the famous America's cup and an interesting session about the exadata technical deep dive and internals. Congratulations also to Oren Nakdimon (@dboriented on twitter), he had a nice presentation about upgrading his pl/sql code without any downtime on standard edition.
Last full day, apparently means also the appreciation event. It was announced to be Billy Joel, but he cancelled and was replaced by Gwen Stefani and Sting. Personally, I'm not really a Gwen Stefani fan … but Sting was really fantastic and he got the atmosphere going!
Thursday was a day of buying some presents for home and rushing to the airport.
A common topic through many presentations and talks at the geek theatre at the demo grounds is encryption. It's almost named in one sentence with cloud. Which they immediately turn directly to sparc. So my guess is sparc will be pushed more and more. Just because of the encryption on the chip and the software in silicon which can help you with the in-memory option of the oracle database. This screams for some tests.
In summary, my first Oracle Openworld experience was fantastic. I can advise everybody that you need to have experienced it at least once. Such nice friendly people, and lots of knowledge transfer. Thanks Exitas for letting me doing this!

Home - Dehumidifiers – Protect Your Vehicle From Damaging Damp!
Anyone who has to store their car, boat or caravan knows moisture in the air causes a lot of problems, particularly over the winter period. Damp gets into everything, causing mildew on convertible tops, mouldy upholstery, rotting sails and degrading rubber seals and tyres. Most storage places are susceptible to damp – barns, garages, storage facilities, boat chandlers, etc, so for many it's an on-going and unavoidable problem. Whilst car covers, caravan covers and boat tonneaus are very popular as indoor protection from dust, knocks and scrapes, they help alleviate the issues rather than tackling the root cause – the relative humidity.
The ideal solution is a dehumidifier to remove the excess moisture from the ambient environment. Meaco is a British designer and manufacturer of dehumidifiers (and air purifiers) and has become a market leader in humidity monitoring and control systems. As well as their own designs they are also the original importer and distributor for Mitsubishi dehumidifiers. Their most popular model in 2010 was the DD122FW Mk4 dehumidifier which won numerous awards including being voted "Best on Test" by Practical Boat Owner Magazine. This year the new and improved DD8L looks set to take the market by storm.
Like the DD122FW Mk4, the Meaco DD8L and the brand new DD8L Junior both work on desiccant technology, a far more efficient system than compressor units particularly at lower ambient air temperatures. And because the desiccant models blow out warm air they eliminate the need for any extra heating. Plus because the air is drier it takes less to warm it up – so it's a definite win-win situation!
The DD8L has some new and very useful features which the DD122FW MK4 didn't have – primarily the DD8L and the new DD8L Junior, rather than running continuously will cut out when optimum relative humidity level has been reached, waking up every 30 minutes to take a sample of the air and going back to sleep again should the humidity levels still be at acceptable levels. This intelligent system means the running costs (which were minimal anyway) will potentially be about 1/6th of the original models.
The difference between the DD8L and the DD8L Junior? Well, Meaco removed the ioniser and the silver nano antibacterial filter to make the Junior. The ioniser is designed to trap pollen and dust, whilst the silver nano filter kills any bacteria present. Whilst these features are desirable dehumidifiers in the home or on a live-aboard boat they aren't really necessary for vehicles in storage. By removing these two features Meaco were able to reduce the price, making the Junior a highly cost effective option for people looking to use their dehumidifier whilst their car, boat or caravan is tucked away for the winter months.
Dehumidifiers are also very useful in the home where every day activities such as cooking, washing, heating systems and laundry generate additional moisture. To assist with condensation in the home many of the Meaco dehumidifiers feature a "laundry drying" mode – reducing the moisture in the air allows laundry to dry faster. Keeping the relative humidity at optimum levels in the home also helps to control dust mites and asthma and allergy sufferers benefit enormously from the drier, purer air. Conservatory windows typically attract a lot of condensation and a dehumidifier will combat this issue too. You don't even have to place it in the conservatory – a dehumidifier strategically positioned at the mid point of the home will draw moisture from all over the house. And with the desiccant models being so quiet and having slim line profiles you'll hardly even notice it's there.

Tories increase poll lead over failing Labour despite media attacks
The Tories have increased their poll lead over Labour in two major new polls carried out since the mainstream media intensified their desperate attacks over so-called Tory "sleaze" – with left-wing news outlets focusing obsessively on wallpaper in Downing Street while ordinary Brits continue to praise the government's amazing world class vaccine roll-out.
The new data comes from Number Cruncher Politics UK, who polled over a thousand people on Wednesday and Thursday, and from YouGov, who saw Labour slip a point while the Tories held steady over the last week.
The Number Cruncher poll shows The Tories up a point while Labour's support falls by 3 points compared to their last survey in mid-March.
Continuing polling leads for Boris Johnson's government, as the country heads towards local elections in May, highlight the dwindling influence of the legacy media – who have attempted to drum up weak scandals over the last week as left-wing party boss Keir Starmer continues to flounder in the polls.
This site reported last week how the Prime Minister had hit back at loony left attacks on his government following the leak of private talks with top British businessman James Dyson, who contacted the PM to ensure his global workers wouldn't be hit with eye-watering financial penalties if they came to Britain temporarily to make ventilators for our NHS.
"If you think there's something dodgy about trying to secure more ventilators during a pandemic I think you're out of your mind," said Boris.
Interestingly the media seems to be less interested in significantly more damaging stories that are currently hitting Labour, including the party's suspension of seven councillors in Peterborough over antisemitism fears.
New data also reveals the Tories are closing the gap on Labour in Wales as they remain on track for their best ever performance since the introduction of the Welsh Assembly.
Figures from Savanta ComRes see the Tory vote surging by six points in constituency voting intentions and rising by five points in the list vote compared to their 2016 performance, with the newly established Abolish the Assembly Party also seeing four points of support in constituency voting and a whopping eight points in the list.


In Arcaro v. Testa, Ohio BTA Dkt. No. 2014-432 (10/22/2014), the Ohio BTA affirmed the Tax Commissioner's determination that denied the objections to a use tax assessment based on the taxpayer's untaxed purchase of a 2013 truck. The taxpayer argued the purchase was exempt from payment of use tax based on R.C. 5739.02(B)(32), which provides exemption from excise tax on motor vehicles primarily used for transporting personal property belonging to others by a person engaged in highway transportation for hire.
The Tax Commissioner found that at the time of the vehicle purchase, the taxpayer's U.S. D.O.T. code only allowed him to haul private property. The taxpayer did change the classification, which the Tax Commissioner took note of. The main issue, however, was that there was insufficient evidence that the taxpayer used the 2013 Ford truck primarily for an exempt purpose. Taxpayer presented letters from customers describing the nature of their business with taxpayer. Some of these statements showed that the taxpayer was involved in the transportation of waste, including construction debris, which is a taxable purpose. For the exemption under R.C. 5739.02(B)(32) to apply, it must be fully supported.
As a result, the BTA affirmed the Tax Commissioner's final determination, finding insufficient evidence in the record to establish that the truck was used for an exempt purpose.
If you have any questions regarding the application of the transportation for hire exemption to your situation, contact Steve Dimengo, Rich Fry, or Casey Davis.

Notice, that R1 shows as FULL state OSPF neighbor and R2's routing table has been populated again. Also, take a look at pic. 3. The last two line show that key 1 and MD5 method has been used.
In OSPF MD5 authentication method, you can change passwords by adding an extra key with the new password. If you do so, there is no interruption in the service (you will see it in the next lab).
While using OSPF MD5 authentication, both 'key number' and the 'password' between routers must be identical in order to establish FULL state between neighbors.
Experiment by changing the 'key number' on R2 (and leaving key=1 on R1). Use 'debug ip ospf adj' to see the result of that change. Then, configure the key=1 on R2 back again, but change the password instead. Observe the output of the debug. Find the differences between the two dubug output.
Enable OSPF area 0 between R1 and R2 on their FastEthernet interfaces (refer to pic.1).
Enable OSPF Simple Password authentication in area 0. Configure R1 to use this authentication methods in the 'router ospf' context. R2, R3, and R4 should have their authentication enabled on their respective interfaces. Use the password 'G33K' on all routers.
What is the purpose of authenticating routing packets?
What are the OSPF authentication methods?
What are the methods of implementing OSPF authentication?
All R1's neighbors are back.
The last line of Se0/0 says: Simple password authentication enabled.
All other routers show the same on their respective interfaces.
Simple password method is very insecure since the password is sent in a clear text format. MD5 uses hashing algorithm and allows easy password changes without any interruption (presented in later lab).
Both authentication methods can be enabled in router context or on an interface.
On R1, R3, and R4 disable pseudo-broadcast on Frame-Relay interfaces.
Reconfigure OSPF on R1, R3, and R4 to use OSPF point-to-multipoint non-broadcast mode. Ensure OSPF domain has full connectivity.
What happened when you have removed 'broadcast' keyword in Task 1 as far as OSPF communication?
What is/are the difference(s) between OSPF point-to-multipoint and point-to-multipoint non-broadcast?
Is the mode used in this lab Cisco proprietary or RFC standard?
If you cannot use pseudo-broadcast (for instance, this is an exam stipulation)on NBMA links (or there is no support for), you can use OSPF point-to-multipoint non-broadcast mode. This will behave just like OSPF point-to-multipoint (treats connections as point-to point, no DR/BDR election).
This mode of OSPF is Cisco proprietary. The timers are 30/120 seconds (hello, dead). Since this mode does not assume pseudo broadcast/multicast support, it requires the 'neighbor' statement in the configuration on R1 (the hub router). The spoke routers will respond using unicast upon receiving unicast hello. As for the next-hop address, this option also behaves like OSPF point-to-multipoint mode.
Reconfigure R3 and R4 Frame-Relay connection in such a way that there is NO spoke-to-spoke IP-to-DLCI mapping. On the spoke routers (R3, and R4) configure IP-to-DLCI mapping towards R1 (hub routers) and its own IP address.
You need to reconfigure OSPF on Frame-Relay connection between R1, R3 and R4. Ensure that the OSPF routing table on R3 and R4 shows R1 (172.16.0.1) as the next hop to networks learned from the other spoke over Frame-Relay connection. Ensure that multicast (224.0.0.5) is supported and there is no DR/BDR election there.
What is the mode of OSPF best to support the stipulations in Task 2?
What needs to be done in terms of Frame-Relay configuration to support it?
What are the principles of operation regarding the solution provided (DR/BDR election, timers, multicast support)?
Why did I use 'broadcast' keyword even though task 1 did not imply using it?
The reason is that task 2 will need the support of pseudo-broadcast/multicast (224.0.0.5 must be supported).
Why did I remove OSPF priority 0 from R3 and R4?
OSPF mode used in task 2 (Point-to-Multipoint) does NOT elect DR/BDR since it treats the connections like point-to-point. This configuration is not required anymore.
Since all serial0/0 interfaces in question have already been OSPF-enabled (ip ospf 1 area), all that is required is to remove 'neighbor' statement on R1 (unicast is no longer required in OSPF point-to-multipoint mode. Second thing to configure is to enable appropriate ospf mode.
Neighbor relationship between R1 and its spokes (R3, R4) shows state: FULL. Notice, there is no DR/BDR information (-) since this mode does not elect DR/BDR. Similar relationship should be present on the spokes with R1.
R1, R2, and R3 should show State POINT_TO_MULTIPOINT on their serial0/0 interfaces. Pay attention to the Hello and Dead timers (30/120) respectively.
OSPF Point-to-Multipoint (RFC-based, not Cisco proprietary) treats the neighbors just like point-to-point connection (except for timers since p2p uses 10/40). Much like point-to-point, OSPF expects multicast support (Frame-Relay pseudo 'broadcast' while configuring IP-to-DLCI mapping). Also, consider that 224.0.0.5 (in fact the whole range 224.0.0.1-224.0.0.255) is link-local multicast. This means that spoke-to-spoke 'hello' would never get across R1 since the packet uses TTL=1. The communication between spokes will need to cross R1, which gives its own IP address (here: 172.16.0.1) as the next hop while advertising prefixes advertised from one spoke towards another spoke.
The communication between R3 and R4 prefixes will work across R1 even though there is no IP-to-DLCI spoke-to-spoke mappings because the next hop is always hub router now.
Configure R3 to be the DR and R4 to be BDR in Vlan 100. Do not shut down any interface, reload any of the devices or clear OSPF process on any device to accomplish this.
What is the role of DR/BDR in the broadcast and NBMA networks?
What are the pre-requisites to make a router eligible to become DR/BDR?
What is the order of operations when it comes to DR/BDR election?
In the previous lab we have configured R1 to be elected the DR in the Frame-Relay hub-ans-spoke network. We made sure that neither of the spokes became the BDR. Can you explain why?
Before we start the configuration, let's see what the current state of things regarding DR/BDR in Vlan 100 is. Do not worry if your output is different. Take a look at pic. 2.
Here's an interesting question for you: based on what Pic.2 represents, would you be able to tell which device is the DR and which is the BDR in Vlan 100 (FastEthernet0/0 interface)?
Stop reading now, and give it a shot! If you can't answer the questions, read on!
The 5th line of the output says: State DR.
Now, recall that the purpose of DR/BDR roles in broadcast and NBMA network is to reduce the number of LSA exchanges. The exchanges must happen between all neighbors in FULL state. In the aforementioned networks, FULL adjacency is built only with DR/BDR, so DR becomes the only representative to send update on behalf of other routers. Both DR, and its sidekick, BDR must have layer 2 connectivity to all OSPF enabled routers in the same broadcast/NBMA network. If the routers are in the same Vlan this is not a problem. But consider Frame-Relay hub-and-spoke topology in which there is not layer 2 PVC provisioned between spokes. In such situation only the hub router can become DR (has layer 2 connectivity with all other routers) and spokes should never become BDR. We will take a closer look at this after we have solved the problem presented in the task 1.
In case of a tie (the same priority), prefer the highest OSPF router ID.
Now, let's configure the solution.
Now, in order to create re-election, as per the stipulation, I will make R6, R4 and SW1 temporarily ineligible of becoming DR/BDR by introducing OSPF priority 0 on their respective interfaces, and then after few seconds bringing the default priority of 1 on them.
Now, let's put thing back to where they should be.
Let's tinker with Frame-Relay network and the problem of just having DR (R1) with no BDR. Let's leave the election of DR/BDR without interfering (all routers have default OSPF priority 1). Shut the interfaces down and bring them back up.
After the interfaces have been brought up the DR is R4 (10.0.4.4) and BDR is R1 (10.0.1.1). In order to see this just give it a moment.
It is apparent that Stub Network 10.0.1.1/32 has been learned from R1 (Advertising Router: 10.0.1.1). It is easy to predict what is going to happen if I shut the interface serial0/1 on R3. It is going to remove 10.0.1.1/32 from its routing table since the next hop 172.16.13.1 (advertising router 10.0.1.1) is no longer available.
It will still be available on R4 though.
Even though R3 could have reached 10.0.1.1 through R1, it does NOT know the second path exists. The reason is, that current DR on Frame-Relay link is R4. This one cannot send LSA about 10.0.1.1/32 towards R3 since it has no layer 2 connectivity withR3!
If you make R1 DR on the Frame-Relay link, R3 can reach 10.0.1.1 through its serial0/0 link). In the picture below, R1 is DR again, the R3's serial0/1 interface is still down (no OSPF neighbor there), but the connectivity to 10.0.1.1 is restored.
This little study drill clear proves that in a hub-and-spoke topology, the DR should be the hub router. In order to avoid the situation that the spoke becomes the BDR, they should always be DROTHERs.

I'm at it again. The lazy blogging, the can't be bothered's, the lack of motivation. Been there done that, it comes around every now and then, inevitably. But this week I found my new years resolution list, scribbled hastily in the back of a notebook, all the plans I had for life in this limestone farmhouse, plans made when I had all the time in the world last year. Damn it it's October. This happens every year. Every. Freaking. Year.
In an effort to pull my finger out, to live and blog with a bit more purpose, I've signed on for the fabulous Holly Becker's 'With Intention and Style' course. I have previously attended Holly's classes, and they're beyond brilliant. So that's that.
My excuse for being a lazy, unmotivated and uninspired blogger? I've been busy. Isn't everyone? Yes. But all of a sudden I'm picking up work here in our new community. Real life, challenging, photography freelance work. I knew it would take about six months, and like clockwork almost to the day the phone began to rang, the emails came, I started shooting again. And it seems there is some sort of baby boom on the Limestone Coast, in the past month I have done three newborn sessions, and just today booked another two. Sweet, sweet, little babies. Sigh.
Ahhhhh nothing better than fresh baby. Nothing.
Oh BABIES! Cluck Cluck Cluck – Ba-Gawk!
What beautiful photos….you have a gift with the camera….
Yay for work but no time for other things. I'm feeling the same too about my plans for this year. it's been particularly trying this year with an unexpected change of jobs – but im slowing down and learning to live in the moment right now.
That is great news, all that work. I love these photos, just so natural, how a newborn should be looking. They breed them cute there.

Missouri S&T to see new advancements with approval of projects
by: Ashley Eddy
Posted: Dec 4, 2021 / 10:30 PM CST / Updated: Dec 6, 2021 / 07:45 AM CST
ROLLA, Mo. – New projects are ahead at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, as several projects have been approved to advance the campus.
University officials said steps are being taken towards the creation of the school's manufacturing technology and innovation campus.

"The most exciting part of our future plans, as I said starting with the Protoplex, is a whole new campus of innovation and manufacturing," said Missouri S&T Chancellor, Mohammad Dehghani.
Chancellor Dehghani said the Missouri Protoplex facility is a manufacturing research and development facility which will serve as the anchor building for the university's planned manufacturing technology and innovation campus.
"Over 90 percent of manufacturing companies in the state of Missouri employ fewer than 100 people," Dehghani said. "Therefore, they don't have their own bandwidth to have their own research and development arm. We are hoping to become that center, where they can come to and get answers to their research and development questions."
He said they hope to help these small to medium companies in their product design process." We like to refer to ourselves as tech-know," Dehghani said. "We have about 900 PhD students here on this campus that are working on problems that are critical to manufacturing industry."
On top of that, Dehghani said a front arrival gate will now be on the west side of the campus.
"The front end of the campus, decades ago, used to be towards downtown Rolla," Dehghani said. "The west side of the campus has been developed so everything has shifted in the city of Rolla to the west side of the city."
Director for Design Construction and Space Management, Fred Stone, said university officials have done a lot of reflection on what they would like to see for the campus.
"Sometimes traveling Highway 63 today, you wouldn't know that you're passing a science and technology university," Stone said. "Kind of opening a window of our campus onto Highway 63 so people can see into our campus and start to understand that we're here and sort of put us on the map."

WikiBranding: I met my "frenemy"
WPP's Martin Sorrell uses a great expression to describe companies with whom we both compete and collaborate -- the "frenemy."
I met one today. Spot Runner.
The collaborative opportunities within the frenemy relationship are using Spot Runner to support local dealers and franchisees with one-off tactical promotions, or perhaps for test marketing ideas before investing in a large-scale campaign.
SpotRunner is crap. They've got oodles and oodles of VC money to keep them afloat without earning a profit whatsoever. I would be curious to hear from the actual businesses who use SpotRunner TV ads. I think their testimonial are far and few between. Not many businesses profit from TV commercials -- at least not like it used to be in the pre-internet and pre-cable TV era. But there are a lot of businesses owners who will like to boost their ego by running a TV campaign and therefore there will be a supply of "first-timers" to try it out.
Not even SpotRunner can monetize how much incremental income a business has generated from a TV Ad campaign. The fact is that it is nearly impossible to track the sales that come from TV-only campaigns.
And besides, SpotRunner probably earns a small mark-up for reselling a TV station's ad time. If this is around 4%, they're only earning roughly $100 on a $2500 ad campaign. They'll need *a lot* of $2500 ad campaigns running simultaneously across many cable TV markets to earn enough Franklins to just cover their fixed expenses. I don't think it's going to fly. If/when it fails and SpotRunner misses the profitability that the VC investors are hoping it will earn, they will just liquidate and Google can snap them up cheap!
I think Spotrunner's out of the running. Lay offs, rumors of bad morale, executives leaving and generally higher commissions for air time may be holding them back. I don't think the disingenuous hype from bloggers that are also investors can keep a pump and dump ship afloat in this economy. Not everyone is going to drink the Spotrunner/WPP kool-aid when dollars are scarce. Cheap TV Spots does a much better production and does not charge additional commissions for air time. Against increasing awareness of this fact, Spotrunner cannot compete against CheapTVSpots or any other legitimate NY or L.A. agency.
Don't let this happen to your brand.
Google "google" for a smart innovation strategy.
