The effectiveness of Facebook advert over most digital advert channel is a stronghold for Facebook's dominance. In spite of insinuations of the waning down of Facebook reach and population, stats show otherwise. Stats indicate 70% of Facebook users log on daily while Instagram's 59%, Twitter 38%, Pinterest 27%, and LinkedIn 22%. The Stat places Facebook advert above all as the users are a huge marketing potential. The Facebook advert is direct, easy, result oriented and mirrors the offline advertisements to details.
Basic ad. components include the right targeting, a great image or video, and a compelling copy. Targeting is potential customers might sound difficult. It like picking five hundred blue balls from over a billion balls.
The best part of the Facebook advert is the ad target methods available. Targeting allows advertisers to streamline your Facebook advert to specific users. More like separating only the blue balls and getting the best of among the blues balls. Furthermore, Facebook helps to track and report a user's response to your Facebook advert.
Interests – Trim the audience by their interest and lifestyle.
Behaviors – Trim audience by behavior and previous response to ads.
Connections –Trim audience by existing connections.
Although more prominent than others, it appears on the Facebook Newsfeed. Users can see when they scroll through.
The right-hand post appears as a widget on the right side. It mostly used for re-targeting as it cant be scrolled past.
Images are very important in facebook adverts. Images have to be well edited and reflect a product or service in the best possible way. If you are investing in ads, you don't need to hurry these process to get a good result.
Pictures or video can persuade, excite, and entertain. stats show that users respond to a lot of connections of media files. It also helps to cuts out excess information and makes the reason for the advert obvious. It's an essential part of a successful ad.
Below is a list of guidelines for getting a good ad media.
Make a colorful and appealing picture/video.(employ a photo/video expert).
Make a clear voice over. (with a good voice).
Maximum of one minute or less.
File most load easily. (relatively small).
Although, the entirety of an advert is to drive call to action (response). But an interesting copy plays the role nicely.
Creating a copy on facebook advert certainly differs from other kinds of writings. Because you not trying to answer a question but you want to make them act. I usually tell people to write like salesmen talks, like it is a one on one conversation. The copy needs to be woo, persuaded potential customers to respond.
So you can narrow your ads to say women over 30, speak to them specifically.
Another idea that might get potential customers taking your turn is writing for them. The strength of facebook advert targeting ability else your ad is like a billboard.
It is important to have tons of visuals for content creating. Next is the tussle for the right image to go with the ad slogan and copy. At times selection might go bad and give a poor result.
Potential customers might wonder the reason for the ad if the copy does not tally up with the visual. As such might result in a negative response.
Getting a clear goal for the advert is key. Furthermore knowing when to defined the goal is important.
Avoid the temptation of crowing the advert with a copy. Sometimes the picture/video explains it all and copy is the little extra to drive it home. So make a short copy as much as you can.
Depending on the targeting facebook advert might be aimed at a range of potential customers With different educational level. As such try to be as simple as possible. No unnecessary vocabularies, simple language application and be clear.
The priority is creating a copy that is understandable for everyone. Stick to basics such as your service/product, the benefits, and the call to action.
Facebook Advert is simple and can be impactful. These guidelines are trusted and tested by experts.

Day 32 - Applying logistic regression
Today we look at practical aspects of using logistic regression for classification, and how it compares to the other classification methods in this course.
Unsolicited bulk email, aka spam, is an annoyance for many people. Suppose you wanted to make a classifier to detect spam and filter it out of your mail. How would you do it? There are four basic steps:
Collect a dataset of email labeled as "spam" and "not spam".
Define variables which can be used to discriminate the two classes. This is sometimes called feature extraction.
Divide the data into a training set and test set.
Train a classifier and evaluate it on the test set.
In this course, we have described three methods for classification:
We'll use the spam example to compare their properties.
George Forman, a researcher at Hewlett-Packard, has made a spam dataset. He took 4601 of his own email messages, labeled them, and extracted various features. The features include the frequency of various words (e.g. "money"), special characters (e.g. dollar signs), and the use of capital letters in the message. For each message, the following variables are recorded:
> colnames(x)
[1] "word.freq.make"
[2] "word.freq.address"
[3] "word.freq.all"
[4] "word.freq.3d"
[48] "word.freq.conference"
[49] "char.freq.semi"
[50] "char.freq.paren"
[51] "char.freq.bracket"
[52] "char.freq.bang"
[53] "char.freq.dollar"
[54] "char.freq.pound"
[55] "capital.run.length.average"
[56] "capital.run.length.longest"
[57] "capital.run.length.total"
[58] "spam"
The last variable is the class variable ("Yes" or "No"). These variables only describe the content of the message. In a real system, we would probably also want to compare the sender name to an address book.
We split into train and test:
x <- rsplit(x,0.5); names(x) <- c("train","test")
For a tree classifier, these are the commands we would use:
tr <- tree(spam~.,x$train)
plot(tr,type="u");text(tr,pretty=0)
The resulting tree depends strongly on the particular train/test split. Some variables which appear consistently are the frequency of dollar signs, exclamation points, and the word "hp", which is a good indicator of non-spam in this dataset. The tree is rather complicated, but only uses a few variables. Trees tend to use only a few variables, which is great for analysis but not so good for classification. For good classifications we should want to use as much information about the message as possible.
Logistic regression is quite different from trees in that it uses all of the variables. We can make a logistic regression classifier as follows:
fit <- glm(spam~.,x$train,family=binomial)
The error rate for both models can be computed using misclass:
> misclass(tr,x$test)
[1] 224
> misclass(fit,x$test)
For one particular train/test split, the tree has 224/2300 errors while logistic regression has 168/2300. This difference is statistically significant:
> chisq.test(array(c(224,2300,168,2300),c(2,2)))
X-squared = 7.0897, df = 1, p-value = 0.007753
Cross-validation on tree size does not change the error rate.
Misclassification rate is not an entirely appropriate measure for this problem, because the costs are not equal. I would say that C(y|n) (falsely classifying as spam) is greater than C(n|y). We can get a better idea of performance by making a confusion matrix:
> confusion(tr,x$test)
truth   No Yes
No  1330  82
Yes  142 746
> confusion(fit,x$test)
Logistic regression makes less errors of both type, so it is a better classifier for this data no matter what the cost structure.
Can a tree ever be better than logistic regression? Absolutely. Remember that logistic regression always uses a linear boundary between the classes. But trees are not so constrained: a big enough tree, with small enough cells, can represent any class boundary. The problem is having enough data to figure out what that boundary is. If the tree doesn't have enough data, it will use a boundary with lots of corners. Therefore logistic regression wins in the above example because the true boundary is close to linear and the training set isn't big enough for the tree to figure this out.
Histogram method
What about the histogram method that we introduced on day3? It can also be used to classify text documents. In fact, it has a lot in common with logistic regression. Both are linear classifiers, in the sense that they take a linear function of the predictors and compare it to zero. For logistic regression, we look at whether p(y=1|x) > 0.5, which is equivalent to a + b*x > 0. In the histogram method, we look at whether L(pop1) > L(pop2), where L(pop) = sum_w n_w log p(w | pop). But this is equivalent to sum_w n_w b_w > 0, where the word coefficient b_w = log p(w | pop1)/p(w | pop2).
Linear classifiers have been used since the early days of computing, since they are so easy to implement in hardware. In theory, you just need a few potentiometers to represent the coefficients. At the time, they were called neural networks, by analogy to how neurons in the brain combine messages from their neighbors (perhaps linearly) and then decide to "fire" or "not fire" (perhaps by thresholding at zero). Since then, a variety of spinoff methods have been developed, which were also called neural networks. Eventually it got to a point where every new classification algorithm was called a neural network. Consequently the term carries little information today.
So what's the difference between logistic regression and the histogram method? For one thing, the histogram method has a very specific idea of what the predictors are. It regards each document as a batch of independent observations; the predictors are relative frequencies within the batch. The predictors must refer to disjoint possibilities. For example, word.freq.make and capital.run.length.average are not disjoint, because "make" could be capitalized. To use the histogram method on the spam dataset, we have to restrict ourselves to the word variables.
Secondly, the histogram method chooses its coefficients differently than logistic regression. Logistic regression chooses coefficients which separate the training data as well as possible. The histogram method tries to model the two classes, based on an independence assumption. This constraint means that the histogram method can only achieve a subset of the possible linear classifiers. But as we saw above, constraints aren't necessarily bad.
To test this theory, a logistic regression classifier (fit) and a histogram classifier (fit2) were trained on the spam dataset using word variables only. Here are the results:
> misclass(fit2,x$test)
This is the same train/test split used above, so we see that restricting to word variables has worsened the logistic regression to 216/2300 errors. The histogram classifier, even though it is also a linear classifier, does significantly worse.
Here's what happens if we do the same thing, but with the training set reduced to 231 examples:
> misclass(fit,x$train)
> misclass(fit2,x$train)
[1] 34
Logistic regression does much better on the training set, as expected, but worse on the test set. How can this be? Logistic regression could easily have found the same linear classifier as the histogram method. But it chose another classifier which seemed better on the training set. The additional constraint imposed by the histogram method has helped it find a better classifier when the amount of data is small.
Numerous studies in machine learning have shown that this sort of behavior is typical: more constrained classifiers do better on small datasets. But does this mean that constraints are good? If so, which ones? Many machine learning researchers have pondered this question, and the answer remains controversial. Some say that any constraint can be used, and the game is simply to tune the amount of constraint to the amount of data. As a theory of learning, this seems too crude. Bayesian statistics provides a better explanation.
According to Bayesian statistics, most classifiers, including logistic regression and trees, are using the wrong criteria to learn from a training set. For example, let's look at the criterion used by logistic regression. This is the maximum-likelihood formula given on day31. Look at what happens when the classes are perfectly separable:
In such cases, it can be shown that maximum-likelihood will try to place the boundary as far away from the data as possible. Specifically, it will maximize the margin: the distance to the closest boundary point. A consequence is that the logistic regression coefficients are determined completely by the boundary points (three points, in this case).
Some people say this is a good thing, because it makes the estimates robust to noise in most of the dataset. On the other hand, it is bad, because it throws away information in the dataset and makes the estimate very sensitive to the position of the boundary points. Consider this example:
The maximum-margin solution is a vertical line, determined only by the two points at (0,0) and (1,0). (The line is not perfectly vertical in the figure because the optimization was stopped early. glm has problems with separated classes.) By moving those two points, we can swing the estimated boundary all the way from vertical to nearly horizontal:
A better option in these situations is to consider all of the possible classifiers, not just the one which has some special geometrical property. For the above example, the classifiers range from vertical (90 degrees) to horizontal (0 degrees). To hedge our bets among them, we should pick the average: 45 degrees. Note that this is similar to what we would get if we used bagging on logistic regression: by taking random subsets of the training data, the boundary would swing from 0 to 90 degrees, and when we voted them we would be classifying according to the 45 degree line. According to Bayesian statistics, you should always average when making predictions. So I am recommending a Bayesian approach to linear classification. For my PhD thesis, I developed a technique for efficiently computing the average linear classifier. It outperforms logistic regression on many real-world datasets, which adds support for the theory.
Another problem with maximum-likelihood logistic regression is that it will always choose a classifier which separates the data, if this is possible. Along with maximum-margin, this is what causes logistic regression to overfit. A proper criterion would allow logistic regression to make errors on the training set, even if it didn't have to. We can achieve this by enlarging the averaging process to include classifiers that make errors.
So what about constrained classifiers? By the above arguments, constrained classifiers succeed because their constraints bring them close to the average classifier, when the training set is small. Hence some constraints really are better than others.
Functions introduced in this lecture:
misclass
The paper "Discriminative vs Informative Learning" discusses the pros and cons of modeling the classes (as in the histogram method) versus separating them (as in logistic regression).

If you've been following along for a while, you know that one of our favorite things to do is go on adventures. There is nothing better than seeing the world through our boys' eyes.
One of our favorite places to adventure here in Southern California is Malibu. The beaches are gorgeous & the hikes are absolutely breathtaking. Point Dume is one of our favorite places to take the boys because It's a relatively easy hike (I would recommend some closed toe shoes though). It has some of the most incredible views of the coast & is perfect for kids because it's a reasonably quick trip to the top & not very steep. We try to get our boys outdoors as much as possible because let's be honest, most little boys would prefer to be outside all day long!
If you guys are ever in Southern California, I highly recommend hiking to the top of Point Dume. You won't be disappointed!!
Thanks to Kohl's and ShopStyle for sponsoring this post!

Book your Canary Islands vacation rentals from 47583 short-term rentals listings. Compare top rentals sites such as Booking.com, TripAdvisor, HomeAway and more on Likibu, the world's largest rentals Meta search.
The Canary Islands, also known as the Canaries, are a Spanish archipelago located just off the coast of Morocco. They are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, particularly for beach bums, as the sunny weather, subtropical climate, and diverse landscapes, including 257 kilometers of beaches make them an ideal vacation location. That said, with the enormous influx of tourists during the season, it can be tough to find cheap apartments or vacation rentals in the Canary Islands.
Tenerife is the most extensive of the Canary Islands and the most populated of the archipelago. It is home to one of the two capitals of the Canaries, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. One of Tenerife's biggest draws is Mount Teide. A World Heritage Site, this volcano is the third tallest in the world when measured from its base on the ocean floor. Visitors also love to come to Tenerife for the Parrot Park reserve, which boasts over 3,000 parrots. Another major draw to Tenerife is the active nightlife; try to pick your guesthouse or apartments in the Canary Islands on Tenerife if the club and bar scene is something that you think you would enjoy.
Gran Canaria is home to one of the most famous natural attractions in all of the Canaries: Maspolomas. These dunes located in the south of the island draw many visitors. You will also find the Roque Nublo and Pico de las Nieves mountains in the center of the island, both of which are worth a visit. Gran Canaria also boasts the second of the two capitals, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which is the most populous city of the Canaries. As Gran Canaria is considered to have both the best weather and best beaches of the Canaries, it's one of the most popular destinations in the archipelago for a beach holiday. Choose a villa with pool on Gran Canaria, and you'll be living the dream in the sunshine.
The Canaries are also home to several small islands and islets, including La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste, and Roque del Este. These islands make up a smaller sub-archipelago known as the Chinijo Archipelago. La Graciosa is the only one of these islands with inhabitants, and visiting these islands can be a peaceful treat for travelers who prefer a bit of solitude on their holiday. While you won't find quite as many choices for accommodations or vacation homes in the Canary Islands here, you will have the opportunity to explore its natural beauty, including four volcanoes, the highest of which is called Las Agujas. Most of the locals make their living with the fishing industry, so be sure to try out some of the local seafood while you're there.

A September mourning | Lexington Herald Leader
Crash of Flight 5191
A September mourning
LONDON - More than 1,000 people gathered here yesterday to pay their final respects to Jonathan and Scarlett Parsley Hooker, who seemed made for each other but who died in the crash of Comair Flight 5191 on Aug. 27, only hours after they were married.
About 200 others came together not far away in Somerset for services for Hollie Ann Gilbert, another victim of Flight 5191 "who wanted to make sure everybody had fun."
It was an emotional day all across this corner of southeastern Kentucky, and it was only the beginning.
Services are scheduled in London today for Michael Finley, another crash victim, who was Hollie Gilbert's friend and employer. In addition to Finley, Gilbert and the Hookers, Marcie Thomason, 25, a crash victim from Lexington, had ties here. Her grandparents, William and Grace Thomason, are from London. Her funeral is also today, in Lexington.
Finley's Fun Centers offer skating and games for kids, and Gilbert saw to it that no child who came in failed to have fun, friends said at her funeral yesterday.
Longtime friend Chris Margrof said that Gilbert "would reach in her pocket and pull out her own money and let that kid play another round or two of games."
Margrof recalled a "feisty" Gilbert, who put her all into everything she did, even if it was singing "an interesting rendition" of Garth Brooks' Friends in Low Places at a karaoke bar.
"Hollie would never, ever, ever win American Idol," Margrof said. "And if she were here right now, this is when I'd feel the sensation known as Hollie's elbow. She loved to cut up."
Most of all, friends remembered Gilbert as a woman bubbling with love for her teenage children, who were surrounded at the funeral yesterday by scores of broken-hearted friends.
"They're doing better than I am," Margrof said of Gilbert's children. "I've never seen strength like that in young people. It lets me know she did her job well as a mother.
"To me, she had become like a bonus sister," Margrof added. "I guess if I had to say it in just two words, 'Hollie loved.'"
After they were pronounced man and wife on Aug. 26, Jonathan and Scarlett Hooker rolled away in style, in a white horse-drawn coach from the Lexington Livery Co.
Yesterday, the same horse-drawn coach joined the hearse in the funeral procession that left the London Funeral Home, moving slowly with hundreds of mourners following on foot. Two blocks away, the procession filed into the A.R. Dyche Memorial Park.
There, Jonathan and Scarlett Hooker were laid to rest, together in death as they had been only briefly in life.

Lead investigator still chokes up when recalling Flight 5191
By Linda B. Blackford - lblackford@herald-leader.com
Even now, five years later, Deborah Hersman can't stop herself from choking up when she talks about the day Comair Flight 5191 crashed at Blue Grass Airport.
"The accident occurred at 6 o'clock in the morning, and there were hundreds of people who stopped what they were doing and started to help," she said with frequent pauses in a phone interview from Washington, D.C. this week. "It was people from Home Depot who came out and brought us rope and work gloves, the people who lined the streets when ... when the families were being brought in, and they held signs up ... it was just a special community."

What we do Practicing Citizenship
The EWC program Civic Education in the Russian Federal Regions has resulted in the establishment of two new University master programs.
–This is really exciting and shows what the EWC multiplier effect means in practice, Ana Perona-Fjeldstad, EWC Executive Director, said.
EWC's aim is that alumni from trainings share their knowledge with others, an aim that really has been over fulfilled in Yaroslav and Rostov. The regional coordinators Tatiana Akopova from Yaroslav and Galina Denisova from Rostov established the Master programs at the Yaroslav University and the Rostov South Federal University after receiving training in Civic Education. The regional coordinators, who are often linked to universities, receive training on how to follow up projects in schools that also take part in the program.
The inspiration to establish the new programs came after a seminar for the regional coordinators in February 2014 and training in the use of Council of Europe manuals like Compass in March the same year. Both Galina and Tatiana were motivated by the lack of expertise within the fields of children's rights and democratic governance among teachers in their regions. The target group of the Yaroslav program is teachers, while Rostov also has a particular focus on further education and professionalization of school ombudsmen.
Rostov South Federal University's established a Master in Social Projects in Education with two new courses on children's and human rights. The Yaroslav Master in Children Rights uses Council of Europe manuals like Compass and the Council of Europe has supplied 36 sets of all manuals for the University library.
The Yaroslav Master program in Children Rights also collaborates with the Free University in Berlin, a collaboration which resulted from a visit during an EWC training in Berlin in July this summer.


On our final day in Haiti, we visited a literacy class, conducted by microfinance clients for microfinance clients. Fonkoze's path-breaking adult education program, modeled on the work of Brazil's educator and visionary Paulo Freire, involves training clients to deliver four-month modules – on topics as diverse as basic literacy, children's rights, maternal and child health, and environmental stewardship – to their peers. This approach represents social self-empowerment that, when coupled with economic self-empowerment through savings and loans, can propel women faster than either can alone.
I'm back in Los Angeles. Back in my lovely home with its big backyard, and my two well- nourished cats, poring over the myriad choices that are available to me each day: What would I like to eat? Where would I like to go? Which dress shall I wear? Should I take the car, or walk? My dream job on "The Simpsons" notwithstanding, the fact that I have so many choices at my fingertips at any given time is what makes me wealthy. To me, choice is the brass ring in my life.
There was no hot water at the hotel this morning. Of course I was all soapy by the time I realized the freezing cold water really, truly wasn't going to get any warmer! Ooof!
Same as yesterday, I met Alex, Kate and Myriam on the upstairs porch of our hotel for breakfast: tea, (coffee for Kate), and slices of pale toast with butter. Myriam had bought some mangoes and pineapple, so the kitchen sliced those up for our breakfast, too. The fruit was out of this world! Alex kindly provided the tea. He travels with his own stash, like I do. Though I completely forgot this time, I was so preoccupied with remembering to bring things I never travel with like bug spray, malaria pills, and my own quick-dry bath towel.
We stood before a woman who was one of the poorest people in one of the poorest countries on earth. Her almost total lack of possessions told most of the story, and her vacant look and inability to answer very basic questions about her plans for the future told the rest. If I had not known of the successes of 96% of the first batch of CLM clients (some of whom I had met in March 2008, at which time they looked as hapless and hopeless as Adaline), I would have walked away depressed. In fact, I feel compelled to return to this place and see what Adaline looks like 18 months from now.
In the midst of the wreckage of this country, I continue to meet the most inspiring, charismatic people on both sides of the micro-finance fence. It makes it impossible to stay mired in despair, despite the never-ending sprawl of abject poverty here. In fact, I feel quite hopeful. Because even though you could liken the day-to-day progress that GF and Fonkoze are making to emptying the proverbial well one teacup a time. The well still gets emptied that way.
My report on our emotional visit with entering CLM clients will have to wait one more day. Now, for a bit of the lighter side of visiting microfinance organizations and borrowers.
During our first half-day in Haiti, my colleague Kate Druschel and I adopted the personas of worldly, well-travelled anti-poverty professionals when advising Yeardley – who was in deep learning mode. At one point over lunch we said, "Yeardley, you should probably avoid eating these things, even though Kate and I will probably eat them since we have built up immunity over the years." It sounded slightly pompous to me when I said, it, although it was probably true.
What a day. A huge day! I met up with Alex and Kate at the Miami airport this morning and we flew to Port-au-Prince. There, we were picked up by a driver from Fonkoze (the org that GF partners with in Haiti) and taken to the Hotel Montana where Anne Hastings, director extraordinaire of Fonkoze, met us for lunch. More on Anne in a minute.
The Port-au-Prince airport is small and painted that strange mint-green color inside that I've seen in other tropical countries. It's a color that clashes so vividly with the foliage. Odd.
Ooof! It's incredibly hot and humid here. Air conditioning is a luxury mostly reserved for hotel rooms and some businesses, it appears. But even then it's iffy since the state turns off the electricity for several hours each day. Can't keep up with demand, or can't afford it? Unclear. So everybody has batteries, like car batteries, to run generators to power their appliances. The offices of Fonkoze have a whole wall of batteries, (fifty I think Anne said) so they can keep their computers and lights running during business hours. Fonkoze is also behind high walls (painted deep orange and purple) and there's a man at the front gate with a rifle.

Martin Hellman, who along with Whitfield Diffie is a winner of this year's $1 million A.M. Turing Award. The two have been innovators for decades in the field of encryption.
Before the FBI's breakthrough, it appeared that Tuesday's court hearing would be the flash point of a dispute between Apple and the government over encryption, the technical process by which almost all online communication and commerce is secured.
But even though the particulars might change, people like Martin Hellman know that the current legal skirmishes over encryption are just the latest battles in a series of wars over encryption that go back decades, to the earliest days of the Internet.
In the 1970s at Stanford, Whitfield Diffie and Hellman gave birth to what's known as public-key, or asymmetric, cryptography. On March 1, the Association for Computing Machinery announced that Hellman and Diffie would receive this year's $1 million Turing Award for that achievement. The professional society will formally present the award to them in June.
He didn't have much of an army at first: just him and Diffie.
The two came up with a way for people who have never met to share messages by trading public keys — a sequence of numbers, really — while holding onto secret private keys.
In 1976, Diffie and Hellman published their seminal paper "New Directions in Cryptography." Years earlier, a British government cryptographer had come up with a similar method, but it was considered classified, and only the United Kingdom's intelligence agencies and the U.S.' National Security Agency knew about it.
"NSA regarded the technique as classified; now it was out in the open," wrote NSA historian Thomas Johnson in an internal study.
Against NSA opposition, Hellman and other academics won the right to publish research about encryption, and the NSA lost that oversight.
That was the first Crypto War, which "was really about the freedom to publish,"said Hellman.
In the '90s, he became active in what he calls the second Crypto War, which took place as the Internet was becoming more commercialized and the World Wide Web was starting to spread.
That dispute, largely between the federal government and Silicon Valley technology companies, intensified over arguments about restrictions on the export of hardware and software with encryption built in.
At one point, the government sought to put microchips called Clipper Chips in phones, computers and other devices to allow its agents, armed with court orders, to eavesdrop on conversations or intercept messages. That was one way to implement an idea called "key escrow," where a third party like the government could hold so-called master keys for later access.
By 1996, the Clipper Chip program had ended, and President Bill Clinton signed an executive order relaxing the government's export controls on encryption.
That ended the second Crypto War — or so many, including Hellman, thought.
But that conflict laid the seeds for today's third Crypto War, as revealed in some of the government documents released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The startling revelations about NSA efforts to weaken encryption and intercept messages in the Snowden documents led Apple, along with other big tech companies, to build stronger encryption features. Apple, in particular, started to market its embrace of encryption to users.
And then the FBI had wanted Apple to weaken that encryption, a request Apple views as unacceptable.
In February, a federal magistrate in Riverside ordered Apple to write specialized software that would be loaded only on an iPhone used by the San Bernardino shooter. Tuesday's hearing could still consider the validity of that order, but that's less likely because of Monday's developments.
Society has to look at the trade-offs involved, Hellman said.
The risks aren't just to people's privacy, Hellman argued. It would create problems for law enforcement, too.
Apple has made similar arguments, pointing out that any weaknesses introduced in the iPhone for this case could be duplicated by criminals.
"Once this precedent is established, how many other phones do you think the FBI and all the police departments across the country and all the countries around the world are going to ask for?" said Hellman.
Hellman says that the FBI's earlier request that Apple not just create a new version of its operating system but put a digital stamp of approval on it through a process called code signing is a defining aspect of this third phase of the Crypto Wars.
The risk is that each time Apple complies with one of those requests, the chances of the code-signing key being divulged increase, Hellman said.
If Apple ever loses control of that secret key, "it weakens encryption horribly," he said. Someone with the key could create a corrupted version of Apple's software, he said, and trick users into installing it on their phones.
Looking through the lens of the past, Hellman said he wishes he'd toned down his rhetoric — something he wishes today's combatants would do, too.
That was the brash rhetoric of a young crypto general. "I was 30 years old then, not 70," Hellman said.

June 22 2010-James Hurlock Wins New York State Bar Associations 2010 RootStimson Award
JAMES HURLOCK WINS NEW YORK STATE BAR ASSOCIATION'S 2010 ROOT/STIMSON AWARD
Hurlock recognized for visionary leadership in local and international organizations
ALBANY - James B. Hurlock, former chairman of White & Case LLP, is the recipient of the prestigious 2010 Root/Stimson Award from the New York State Bar Association. The annual award honors an attorney who has demonstrated an exemplary commitment to community service. State Bar President Stephen P. Younger (Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP) and Paul Michael Hassett of Buffalo (Brown & Kelly, LLP), Subcommittee Chair on the Root/Stimson Award for the Committee on Annual Award, presented the award to Hurlock at the June 19 House of Delegates Meeting in Cooperstown.
Hurlock, a resident of Greenwich, CT, received the award in recognition of his visionary leadership in several highly respected non-profit organizations. Hurlock serves as a trustee of the Corporation of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and the Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law, where he was once its chairman.
It is his impact in the world of international affairs that is particularly noteworthy. As chairman of the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) from 2001-2004, Hurlock was widely credited with IDLO's evolution into an institution with a significant voice in global affairs. Under Hurlock, the United Nations General Assembly in 2001 granted IDLO observer status giving it the influential right to speak at United Nations General Assembly meetings, participate in procedural votes, and sponsor and sign resolutions. Later, IDLO was given a permanent observer office at the UN.
"James Hurlock is a fine example of how lawyers use their skills and knowledge to better not only their local communities, but also the world around them. He has made a difference in the daily lives of New Yorkers while also being a dedicated leader on the world stage," said State Bar President Younger. "Through innovative leadership, he has helped non-profit organizations shape and advance their missions. He is wonderful role model for all of us - attorney and non-attorney alike - and a most deserving recipient of this prestigious award."
"From his legendary career at White & Case LLP to his extensive community service leadership, James Hurlock has exemplified excellence at every turn. His record of community service is as impressive as it is extensive," said Past President Hassett. "His devotion to helping others and his influence in international matters make him the right choice for this award named after two State Bar attorneys best known for their service in world affairs."
Hurlock is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School. He chaired White & Case from 1980 to 2000, overseeing the firm's worldwide operation during a period when its staff tripled. He was the interim CEO of Stolt Nielsen Transportation Group from 2003-2004 and is currently director and chairman of the Orient Express Hotels, Ltd.
The Root/Stimson Award, created in 1974, was named for distinguished lawyers Elihu Root and Henry Stimson to honor their commitment to public service. Root served in Theodore Roosevelt's administration as Secretary of State and was a 1912 Nobel Peace Prize laureate; Stimson served in Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration as Secretary of War during World War II.
Past award recipients include: Thomas S. Richards of Rochester (Mayor's Office, City of Rochester); Charles C. Russo of Hauppauge (Russo, Karl, Widmaier & Cordano, PLLC ); Stephen J. Dannhauser of New York City (Weil, Gotshal & Manges); and Arnold Gardner of Buffalo (Kavinoky Cook LLP).
Founded in 1876, the 77,000 member New York State Bar Association is the official statewide organization of lawyers in New York and the largest voluntary state bar association in the nation. The State Bar's programs and activities have continuously served the public and improved the justice system for more than 130 years.

Ep 109 Chikungunya: Not dengue (or is it?)
Somehow it's taken us until the penultimate episode to cover this season's first mosquito-borne virus. But we assure you, this episode is well-worth the wait. Although Chikungunya virus is often lumped in with dengue or Zika, the unique characteristics that distinguish Chikungunya virus from these other arboviruses are just as important to note as the similarities among them. In this episode, we explore these differences and similarities in the biology of Chikungunya virus before reassessing what we thought we knew about the history of this disease, a history that is presently under revision ..read more
Ep 107 Sepsis: It's a mess
Over the years of the podcast, we have often struggled with questions of why: why pathogens act the way they do, why certain people get sick while others don't, or why we know little about some diseases. This episode is no exception - sepsis certainly inspires many "whys". But for perhaps the first time on the pod, we find ourselves grappling not only with "why?" but also with "what?". What, indeed, is sepsis? Ask a dozen doctors and you may get a dozen different answers. Our first goal for this episode is to sift through the various definitions of sepsis and what we know about its pathology t ..read more
Ep 106 Turner Syndrome: Let's talk about X
Are you in the mood to chat chromosomes, specifically the X chromosome? If so, have we got the perfect episode for you! You may have come across the definition of Turner syndrome as a genetic condition resulting from the partial or complete loss of an X chromosome, but what does that actually mean? What is the X chromosome, what does it do, and why is it so important? We attempt to answer these questions with our exploration into the biology of Turner syndrome before setting our sights on the who's and when's of the X chromosome and Turner syndrome. Our path through the history of these bundle ..read more
Ep 105 Down in the Mumps
We've covered measles, we've taken on rubella, and now we're finishing up the classic MMR vaccine by exploring the other M: mumps. To some listeners, mumps may be a painful childhood memory while to others it's just a letter in a vaccine they were too young to remember getting. But by the end of this episode, we promise that you'll all be much more familiar with this strange little virus. How does the mumps virus make you sick and give you that classic swollen face look? What is so bad about the mumps that Maurice Hilleman decided to snag a sample from his sick daughter to make a vaccine? Wher ..read more
Ep 103 Leptospirosis: Don't blame the rats
The story of leptospirosis is chock full of variety. In terms of biology, any number of different Leptospira species and serovars can play a role in infection, and the resulting infection can run from asymptomatic to deadly. As for ecology, virtually any mammalian species can either act as an affected reservoir for the pathogens or fall victim to a deadly infection. The history of leptospirosis takes us across continents and through centuries, illustrating how changes in scientific thought and technology shaped our understanding of this and other zoonotic diseases. And the current status of th ..read more
Ep 102 Arsenic: Paris Green with Envy
"The king of poisons," "the poison of kings," "inheritance powder." As its various nicknames suggest, arsenic's notoriety largely stems from its use as a murder weapon. But as we explore in this episode, the world of arsenic is much, much bigger than just as a plot device in an Agatha Christie novel, and it remains one of the most important environmental contaminants today. But how exactly does arsenic affect your body? When did people first start to use arsenic and for what purposes? Where does it have the most impact currently? And, of course, why was it so popular as a murder weapon? Tune i ..read more

Laugh, cry, and cringe at some of the summer's most exciting titles.


I can't tell you how happy it makes me to announce that the Handbook of Nature Study website and the Outdoor Hour Challenge was voted a winner by thousands of homeschoolers in the Practice Homeschooling magazine Reader Awards!
I'm especially proud to have been given this award in the Elementary Science category.
It's been a lot of years in the making beginning when the Outdoor Hour Challenge started back in 2008 when a community of homeschool moms asked me to lead a weekly nature study activity. The things we have learned over the past decade as part of the Outdoor Hour Challenge has given us a love and appreciation for the living things all around us. I've watched families from around the world get started and then flourish with nature study using the weekly nature study ideas.
It makes my heart soar to know that homeschooling families feel my program has enriched their lives and given them a solid science curriculum to use as a means of learning about nature together.
Thank you to all of you who partook in voting and those that have supported this worldwide community of nature-loving families through comments, links, writing for the monthly newsletter, and participating in the OHC blog carnival. I have loved every minute of this adventure!
As a BIG thank you, I am going to be extending a discount code for you to use towards ANY level of membership here on the Handbook of Nature Study.
Use this code at checkout and you will receive $5 off your purchase of a membership.
If you choose an Ultimate Naturalist Library Membership, this will give you all current 21 ebooks, including the newly released, updated and revised Getting Started with the Outdoor Hour Challenge ebook. PLUS, you'll receive access to the printables library with dozens of notebooking pages and activities for you to print out. PLUS, it will include access to all 76 archived issues of the monthly newsletter.
Now is the time to join so you can start using the resources right away and then for the next year of your membership!
Thank you so much for your love and support of the Handbook of Nature Study!
Do you want to get started with nature study in your family? Why not give the Outdoor Hour Challenge a try in your family. I have never regretted the decision to make nature study a regular part of our homeschooling experience.
Thanks Sarah for all your support over the years. It has been a joy to know you.
Well done Barb! You so deserve this honour. Your wonderful weekly challenges were a mainstay throughout our homeschooling journey.
I loved seeing all that you and your girls did in your part of the world as part of the OHC. Thank you so much for everything you did to support the community with the blog carnivals and the newsletters.
Well done! We love doing nature study and I always look forward to your emails. My kids really enjoy the chance to look a little closer at our natural surroundings.

Together you must investigate, take notes and meet up with other Pokémon to unravel the city's greatest mysteries! The Detective Pikachu game will be available on 23rd March. Game in 2D.
Castle of Heart (7Levels, $14.99) – CASTLE OF HEART, available exclusively for Nintendo Switch™, is a classic action platformer at the genre's best… and most challenging, with plentiful of new twists on formula to experience. The players take control over a cursed knight, turned to stone by the evil sorcerer's spell, but ready to prove that love and courage can conquer even the darkest magic. Available 23 March.
Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut (Digerati, $14.99) - A killer puzzle game where you control Skullface, a psychotic slasher hell-bent on revenge. Slide this adorably demented murderer around hundreds of isometric puzzle levels to squash, flay, and decapitate hapless victims in this darkly comic homage to 80s horror movies.
SOL DIVIDE -SWORD OF DARKNESS - for Nintendo Switch (Zerodiv, $7.99) - Vorg heard a rumor that the army of Satan was searching for treasures called Seirei stones which led him to think that the time for revenge has come. In addition, he also knows that one of the Seirei stones was entrusted secretly to King Silverna from Vorg's homeland, the Kingdom of Miltia.
Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack Wave 2 – The Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack grants immediate access to Avatar items upon purchase and two waves of DLC as they are released. The Battle Pack contains two new Battle Pokémon and two new Support Pokémon Sets. With these Pokémon joining the fray, the battle is just getting started! Wave 1 released on 31 Jan, 2018, and contains Battle Pokémon Aegislash, a new Support Pokémon set featuring Mega Rayquaza and Mimikyu, and additional Avatar items. Wave 2 releases on 23 March, 2018.
I can recommend Slayaway Camp to anyone who likes sliding block puzzles and/or camp 80's horror. Don't let the generic Minecraft style block characters and ridiculous killings put you off, because the gameplay is solid, the puzzles are well designed with good pacing and a nice amount of content. I'm gonna double dip on this just so I can play it on the go.
$8 is a bit steep, but, man, do I love Moon Patrol. World Heroes 2 is also has a little place in my heart.

You've likely seen or heard this term used, but do you understand what it means? HEPA stands for "high-efficiency particulate air" or "high-efficiency particulate arrestance". HEPA filtration systems are created and certified to capture at least 99.97% of .3-micron (.000012" or 300x smaller than the diameter of human hair) particles from the air that heads through the system. Dust, pollen, mites and other contaminants can all be captured, greatly improving your home's indoor air quality.
MERV is a shortened version of "minimum efficiency reporting value" or put in easier terms, it tells you the effectiveness of your air filter. MERV ratings can range from 1-16 with the higher rating eliminating more contaminants and allergens without impacting the airflow of your home comfort system. We can work with you to determine a filter with a MERV rating that will work best for your home.
We breathe on average 11,000 liters of air a day. We want to help you realize the importance of indoor air quality and help be sure the air in your home is good for your health. If you have any questions or concerns surrounding your home comfort systems give us a call at 717-383-4479 to arrange an appointment with us.


hammock, suspended bed, usually of netting, canvas, or leather. The hammock and its name were introduced to Europeans by Christopher Columbus, who learned of them from Native Americans. While the plaited hammock seems to be native to the Western Hemisphere, blankets have served the same purpose among primitive tribes in other parts of the world. The hammock was formerly used to conserve space on naval vessels. It has served as a means of conveyance in tropical areas.


Great area for snowshoeing and back-country skiing. There is different option for the parking lot as there is different approach to the mountain. We parked where the heart is. It is about 4km North Mosquito Creek Campground (if you are coming from Calgary you will pass Mosquito Creek). The parking lot will be at your right about 29km after you enter the Icefields Parkway.
Unfortunately we didn't made it to the top that day, we decided to change our plans and make it to an other little summit as it was not safe enough and we were short in time. The route we did is linked on the Suunto logo. I still highly recommend this area as it's real winter wonderland!
Don't forget you are in Avalanches terrain, check out before you leave check the Avalanches conditions and the forecast. You need to bring with you all your avalanche gear and crampons could be helpful and a rope if you want to climb the real summit.
I recommend you to buy the book Snowshoeing in the Canadian rockies if you are thinking to do lots of winter adventure this winter. You can even find lots of information about the Cirque Peak area on the online version of the book.
Great views of Dolomite Peaks, pretty unique mountain in the Icefiels Parkway!


Saxophonist/clarinetist Scott Rosenberg once studied with Anthony Braxton at Wesleyan University, and while Braxton's influence has always been present in Rosenberg's music, the reedist has never really sounded like anyone but himself. On his brilliant 2001 release V: Solo Improvisations, Rosenberg's series of visceral, extended-technique-based improvisations actually sounded like their titles, like "WRRRRTKK" and "Xxhlllrlr." The album sounded nothing like Braxton's music, but Rosenberg's tendency to organize his music in terms of types of sounds was similar to Braxton's systems of language music, in which collections of numbered approaches and techniques became the phonemes of improvisation.
EL does showcase Rosenberg's interest in coaxing weird sounds from his instruments, but it also shows that Braxton's influence on him went well beyond what we heard on V. Rosenberg's compositions, particularly the opening "Tddk," sound like he's listened to plenty of Braxton's recent Ghost Trance Music -� they're quirky and angular, with streams of evenly-paced notes changing register abruptly, then splintering into weird tuplet rhythms. Rosenberg's use of Braxton's angularity is merely a beginning, however, not an end; Rosenberg's compositions contain more than their fair share of surprising twists, like the excellent rock-like finale of "Ellhg + Sttm [Krind]."
Still, most of Rosenberg's compositions � or, at least, the parts I think he through-composed � are melodic, based on notes and rhythms. The Skronktet's improvisations, though, tend to be skittish and textural, which is no surprise given what they've done before. Rosenberg's bandmates here (clarinetist Matt Ingalls, guitarist John Shiurba, bassist Morgan Guberman and percussionist Gino Robair) are some of the best improvisers in the Bay Area (which really is saying something � the flourishing improv scene there gets far less attention from the press and the public, even in improv terms, than it deserves). Shiurba and Robair, especially, are worthy of mention: Shiurba is unfortunately underutilized on EL, but he's comfortable with both scratchy, nervous improv and rock-like bombast, and he has a brilliant fried-amp guitar tone. Robair is a powerful drumset player with a knack for hitting the perfect odd auxiliary instrument at the right time.
All five players are strong, however, and it's a testament to their ability that the Skronktet is able to seamlessly transition among various styles � musically, it's a long way from many of Rosenberg's compositions to the noisy improv that often follows, but none of the changes seem forced. Finally, it's worth mentioning that EL sounds terrific: Dave Greenberg's recording is superb. For fans of the improv scenes in, say, New York or Chicago who are unfamiliar with what's happening on the West Coast, EL is an excellent introduction because it features a number of the Bay Area's best players playing well and imaginatively in several improv styles.

This obviously was not going to scale in my use case where I have good number of rules to be run and the number of sub-types are also more. I was wondering if there is a way to define the common list and then re-use it while defining the actual list of rules for a given type of invoice and then I came across Collection Merging concept in Spring where we can define a parent element and then have child elements inherit the properties from the parent element and override them (i.e. when there is a conflict, the child property definition takes precedence) and modified my configuration as follows and it works great!
