Citrix ShareFile Alternative
November 27, 2018 /in Comparisons /by Jackie Bruckman
MyWorkDrive ShareFile Alternative
Unlike ShareFile, MyWorkDrive integrates exclusively and natively into an existing Windows File Share infrastructure. MyWorkDrive is built from the ground up to integrate exclusively with Windows Active Directory and NTFS File Shares with no changes to work processes or traditional mapped drives clients. With MyWorkDrive, enterprises can simply and easily provide secure remote file access to their users in minutes without migrating data or compromising security.
No migration
Unlike ShareFile, MyWorkDrive works side by side with Windows File Shares in place – at no time are any files stored on the MyWorkDrive servers. Enterprises can deploy MyWorkDrive without fears files being stored in proprietary databases or cloud storage providers.
No databases
Unlike ShareFile, MyWorkDrive exclusively uses existing active directory users, group and NTFS permissions to provision users. No files are stored in any databases, nor are any additional administration of users, database backup software licenses or management needed when integrating MyWorkDrive.
Network Share file locking
With our native file locking integration, users can continue to use traditional mapped drive clients and files are properly locked alongside our Web, Mobile, or Desktop clients. With Sharefile, clients must be migrated to ShareFile only clients to properly lock and interact with network shares alongside other users.
Mobile Office Document Editing
Only MyWorkDrive has the ability to edit documents in native Office Apps for iOS mobile stored on Local File Shares.
Reduced Administration
Sharefile imports Active Directory users and groups into a database and requires manual management of license keys. With MyWorkDrive, Active Directory is native and licenses are automatically provisioned and deprovisioned as users drop off after 30 days.
Better Web Browser Client
With MyWorkDrive users view and edit files in our beautiful file explorer style interface, greatly reducing training and support costs.
MyWorkDrive exclusively uses built-in Windows NTFS and Access Based enumeration security for Windows shares that run under the user's login context, as such no login information or access to files are ever stored in a database or used by MyWorkDrive. ShareFile can connect to Windows File shares, but also hosts user password hashes in a database to provide the ability to search and access files on network shares.
Upgrade or new setup: Bottom line – it's expensive and it's complicated. There's a lot of overhead and it requires an army of engineers to support. There are other factors as well that contribute to making MyWorkDrive your easy file share remote access alternative. Some additional factors to consider and flush out before choosing what path to take when enabling secure file remote access and secure file sharing include:
Licensing: Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop run on Microsoft RDS, making it necessary for companies to buy and maintain licenses for both. Plus, all Citrix environments need some up-front investment in hardware. Citrix ShareFile requires licensing for both ShareFile and NetScaler
•Complexity: Citrix technology is not cloud-native, and its components are siloed, meaning that multiple consoles are necessary to manage the environment.
•Overhead: Not only do administrators have to manage and update the underlying infrastructure, they have to update every endpoint through the locally-installed Citrix Receiver client. RDP comes installed on every PC enabling automatic updates.
•Expertise: Citrix admins aren't cheap, and you need a significant squad to make the technology work.
•Performance: While we acknowledge the high quality of Citrix' HDX media suite, it isn't necessary for most desktop use cases today.
•End-user Training: Very expensive, time consuming and complex.
End of Life and support for XenApp 7.0 expired in June of 2018. XenApp 6.5 support was sunsetted in 2016 so if you are still on it then by this time you are indeed playing Russian roulette with your files from a data security and data leak prevention perspective.
Because Citrix VPN, Citrix ShareFile, and XenApp apps are no longer supported, many CIOs are facing a dilemma: migrate to another cloud storage file sync provider or embark on a completely new trajectory for all enterprise file share remote access and content collaboration requiring complex file migrations. But what cloud platform?
There are many providers billing themselves as a VPN alternative but they are still a public cloud storage and/or content collaboration platform requiring complex file migrations. You could have one of your requirements be that you want complete control over your workflow management and email client portal and yet you would still be relying on someone else's server or proprietary database to store your company files.
Citrix Sharefile as many know is a file sharing and managed file transfer (MFT) service that relies on the cloud. Or rather Citrix users rely on cloud computing technology. One of the pitfalls of Sharefile is that encrypted email is unavailable for lower tier subscribers and you can't restrict 'view only' mode. For certain industries this become problematic especially government, financial, and healthcare sectors.
Many firms also rely on Citrix remote desktop services but again, you have to maintain not only your VPN and firewall but a farm of virtual desktops as well which must all be secured and patched creating a huge support burden and expense on the IT budget line each year. You can also enable two-factor authentication with Citrix Sharefile or RDS for an added layer of security but still there remains an open pipe to your data that bad actors can exploit and compromise. You can also combine more layers with Cisco VPN but again, another point of failure for hackers hell bent on going after your network.
Sharefile announced EOL of their current version this past June of 2018, and the new version requires Server upgrades from 2008 to 2012 R2 or higher, anything remaining on old platforms will not be supported as of the end of this year 2018. Additionally, Citrix is requiring purchase of a NetScaler Load Balancer and 'tuning up' current licensing. This upgrade (which is really a migration) is very costly, and quite an endeavor and very complex. The actual 'How To Manual' is a 1000 page PDF!
IT Consultants are very happy to assist in the migration of old Citrix ShareFile and RDP products for enterprises with unlimited budgets – for hefty consulting fees. You will also need to factor in costs for hardware and software upgrades to run it all on. MyWorkDrive can provide a better, more secure remote file access set up across your Network Shares at a fraction of the cost per user without costly migrations of file share or new hardware. You also don't have to allocate precious resources, time, and money towards migration projects. What are the costs? For even the smallest installations consider some of these line items:
Citrix ShareFile Licenses & Support:
Citrix UPG XENAPP Ent from ADV 1U conc conn licenses
Citrix NetScaler gateway ENT VXP License & Maintenance
XENAPP Ent 1 conn user easy license
CSS Select XENAPP Ent X1 concur US support 1yr /yr/user
CSS Select NetScaler Gateway ENT VPX Maintenance 1yr
LIC/SA OLP Windows Server Standard 2016 2-core
LIC/SA OLP Windows RDS CAL 2016 NL User
Multiple Intel® Xeon™ Processor at 3.4GHz/2MB Cache, 800MH
Build W2012 R2 Server for Install and Config of Citrix
Install Storefront/Delivery Controller & XenApp Adv Server
Install and Configure New NetScaler Gateway Ent
Install all Applications and Programs
User Training, Data Migration…
Have your eyes glazed over yet? What really is the dilemma with using Citrix for remote desktop and secure file remote access?
According to the Parallels.com blog dating as far back as 2008- "This means customers will not receive any patches or support after the EOM and EOL period, respectively. As the flagship product of Citrix, Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) enjoys a larger customer base than other Citrix products. Because the majority of corporate environments are still working on Windows Server 2008 R2, the customer's only option is to upgrade both the underlying Microsoft operation systems and the Citrix product to the newer version. Alternatively, customers can continue with the unsupported 2008 R2 environment, which is far from ideal. Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly Citrix XenApp) is a customer-facing product that delivers services outside the network to a range of devices and users including home users, mobile users, and other computing devices. Without proper maintenance, a virtual environment cannot remain robust and reliable. Customers require full maintenance and support when it comes to delivery of their critical line-of-business applications."
Now that was from 2008. It's now over ten years later how many companies are still on EOL products? It's a scary answer to admit to. Decisions have to be made and if you want to set up a hybrid cloud type of environment or a complete private cloud environment then MyWorkDrive becomes the clear winner hands down. MyWorkDrive is easy to install, easy learning curve for users to adapt to, and fast to get up and running. Don't migrate, start to collaborate and instantly share files and allow editing online easily again without VPN, syncing, or complex Citrix migrations.
Sharefile Alternative
Administrator of organizations using Citrix ShareFile or RDP connection specifically to access files remotely, should strongly check out MyWorkDrive as a viable alternative. MyWorkDrive is known as a VPN alternative where you can cloudify the existing file shares located in your own data center, grant users remote access permissions and manage multiple devices easily utilizing existing NTFS permissions and an enterprise's current IT infrastructure with windows active directory.
MyWorkDrive allows secure file remote access without VPN, syncing, or migrating to the cloud or new systems. Your files, your data, and your data center become your own private cloud instantly allowing users to remotely edit and share files simply and securely side by side with your existing mapped drive users without migrating files or storing them in the cloud. With MyWorkDrive version 5.1 you can do it even faster and more securely with encrypted view, data leak prevention, duo authentication, and more. With MyWorkDrive support costs are dramatically lower than Citrix products. Support and training costs per user/year alone make the business case.

HIPAA Compliant File Sharing
August 14, 2018 /in Compliance /by Jackie Bruckman
The Healthcare industry is a valued target for cyber criminals because of the information gleaned which includes social security numbers, medical histories, insurance information, email address, and more. HIPAA and HITECH compliance standards ensure the privacy of personally identifiable information (PII).
Valuable targets include health insurers, healthcare providers, various entities who are service providers and insured individuals because on the black-market prices are higher for health records rather than just credit card numbers. Healthcare industry cyberattacks result in identity theft from files shares where more data can be stolen, your insurance information can be held hostage and major brute force attacks and phishing attacks are easy to carry out because with more information the attacks can seem more legitimate and easier to execute.
Similarly, when it comes to medical data correspondence it's easy to get unsuspecting people to open the correspondence or respond to a malicious solicitation unknowingly.
The Healthcare industry is focused on total digital transformation more than ever. Cybersecurity and data theft prevention of PII stored in file sharing systems must be at the forefront of an operational enterprise's business priorities and they must plan accordingly like any big business and not carry out initiatives like a minor service provider.
For most enterprises who provide medical benefits to employees, most of the interaction is with the actual broker and insurance provider or aggregator including major HMOs who have their own apps for health information file sharing which can be easily compromised.
Data Theft Prevention to comply with HIPAA and HITECH needs to start with deciding what files will be preserved and migrated to critical file servers. As with any digital transformation endeavor, the first stage is deciding what files to keep, how to categorize that information and finally to prioritize it all.
Consider this typical patient scenario: Unless you are able to visit your family doctor who has treated you since you were a child, you know you are only as relevant as the latest medical information uploaded and entered into your 'file' and even then there are always corrections needed. Your last doctor visit may have included checking in to the appropriate department and building by swiping your medical card which then brought up a plethora of information to the admin person running the front desk. Any balance still owed to the provider and any co-pay payment was promptly taken care of before waiting to see the doctor. At this point you are then inserting or swiping a credit or debit card in a payment terminal and entering a PIN number if necessary and approving the transaction. You are then shuttled to the appropriate exam room and then wait again for another person to enter, confirm your information on a portable wall mounted computer and then proceed to take your vitals and enter them into the digital chart open in front of them. Any medications are confirmed and re-ordered as necessary to be filled at the pharmacy of your choice and then you wait again for the actual doctor to follow through on the exam you made the appointment for.
Your chart and medical history and personal information is confirmed yet again and more info is entered about you including an email address where you can be corresponded with and contacted. If you have a medical provider HMO like Kaiser then you visit the pharmacy in the same building and swipe all your personal information yet again.
Additionally, you have made several points of contact and given them everything but a pint of blood or your first born. But wait! What if you did have a child at this hospital? They do have your first child's info and probably your blood type and then lab results on any of your blood taken. Maybe you had a certain genetic test ordered as well for cancer prevention. At this point, literally your entire life, your chromosomes, your blood, your prescriptions, everything that makes up YOU is stored in a computer or computers and your only protection or guarantee that all of this will remain private is how well this particular healthcare enterprise has put some kind of firewall between your critical information and any cybercriminal with a keyboard who makes their living on the black market of ransomware, brute force attacks, phishing, and exploiting any weakness possible. A stolen credit card number spending spree has nothing on a healthcare provider falling victim to a calculated file share cyberattack targeting Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Besides deciding on what data must be migrated and preserved then the issue becomes one of monitoring and controlling and being constantly vigilant. Data theft prevention and Disaster Recovery planning becomes a full-time job whether it's employing staff and/or engaging resources and providers to be at the ready for solutions to mitigate any known or unforeseen pending threat. Healthcare professionals, insurers, doctors, nurses, and medical staff are trained to be the epitome of trust however what happens to an institution or healthcare brand hit with a major attack like what happened to credit score companies like Experian? They will lose customers. In the United States, patients are customers and customers have choices of providers.
For affordable health care exchanges, a simple hack of the enrollment web site would render some State governments into a complete state of chaos and an already burdened system is not too big to fail and if enrollment drops off then costs soar. Emergency rooms become the main source of medical care and even then, there is no guarantee of adequate care. In other words, the Healthcare industry in this country is ripe for a major attack and it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
So, what to do? First off, don't panic and then you need to engage trusted partners to help you navigate the quagmire of data loss prevention, data theft, and data protection. There are laws already governing medical privacy including the well-known HIPAA that is the gold standard for all things concerning patient's privacy. HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Also known as the HIPAA Act for short. It's a US privacy law put in place to protect medical information including patients' records and allow for confidential communication between patients and medical professionals. The HIPAA Act has many components including portability of medical coverage in case of job status change and to prevent fraud and abuse and mandate a set of universal standards that the Department of Health and Human Services has jurisdiction over. The main component that is most well known in the data security business and enterprise employment rules and regulations is the right of patients' medical history and information – No matter what.
Being HIPAA compliant is understandably the number one goal and that compliance is regulated so it must be controlled and monitored constantly and checks and balances must be put in place and regularly used. There's no such thing as being mostly HIPAA or HITECH compliant. On the heels of regulation additional service providers have stepped up to fill the void of data security where the need of most healthcare institutions is treating patients – not data privacy file share protection. The healthcare industry is already rife with critical obstacles and now is exploding as everyone is trying to streamline and become totally digital and have information shared easily across multiple platforms or those multiple platforms being coalesced into a single storage provider. Healthcare related Start Ups are popping up everywhere and are ubiquitous and plentiful wherever Venture Capital investors and interested parties are gathering because of the urgent need for major disruption in the industry behemoth. Apps and online accounts are replacing advise nurses and mailed post card appointment reminders. Several app Start Ups in the Healthcare sector are seeking to be the go to woven fabric or data aggregator that joins the ecosystem of a patients' medical history and ongoing care across several providers and platforms.
But who stores these company files and keeps this data from getting into the wrong hands? Several cloud storage providers have made their services known by targeting this industry with very expensive advertising campaigns. Cloud storage and cloud-based file share servers are more popular than ever but just because technology has streamlined, organized, and centralized, does that mean that several industries must follow suit and hand over their critical digital assets for outside ownership and storage just because it's easier now?
Take a step back and picture the doctor's office of days of not so old. Rows and rows and rows of manila folders full of paper and test results and meticulous notes stacked from floor to ceiling and categorized by year and alphabetized by patients' last names. Imagine if a truck pulled up and took all those files and then drove thousands of miles away and loaded them all into a warehouse and then told you not to worry, that they have industrial locks on the doors and a climate-controlled environment and that there are guards on duty 24/7. The only way you can access the files are by opening a computer screen and typing some words or numbers into a search box and hope the right search result comes up with the best information. Now imagine that the power goes out, the warehouse has a disastrous fire, or armed thieves break in and run off with all the manila folders and sell them to the highest bidder who can never be traced, then what?
Healthcare service providers and insurers and medical institutions are in the business of providing the best care possible to customers who qualify based on cost and services provided. They are in the business of making people well and preventing disease and curing the sick and conducting research to combat the latest real-world viruses. They are not in the business of constantly upkeeping and transferring and sharing files across the country in the most secure way possible and having to worry about computer viruses – Until now. There is no excuse for any modern PPO, HMO, EPO, POS, or private practice specialist to not have a HIPAA & HITECH compliant file share theft prevention and disaster recovery system in place. That includes State and Federal governments who monitor and administer exchanges under the Affordable Care Act.
Major enterprises including HMOs and Government entities that administer healthcare exchanges are in desperate need of consolidating systems and having a data security tool that allows on premise users to access and share data remotely as needed with guaranteed secure access and mandated HIPAA and HITECH privacy precautions in place. If disaster strikes and a cloud storage provider is hacked, or data is breached somehow these users should be redirected to an on-premise server and/or standby server that has been backing up and storing data. With an encrypted secure tool, users could instantly access that data by using a secure web login, a local active directory mapped drive or a mobile app and instantly be still in business and have a patients' info at the ready while maintaining security. MyWorkDrive.com provides this extra layer of protection, privacy, and recovery. An army of IT staff does not have to be employed ongoing and deployed at every instance or issue of downtime or data loss. MyWorkDrive has recently been certified as a DUO Authentication partner, Skyhigh Cloud Trust Enterprise Cloud Ready and the US Federal Government FIPS encryption standards and now offers encrypted view and watermarking of all files preventing users from downloading, copying or printing files as an added layer of data theft prevention No files are ever stored, migrated or processed by MyWorkDrive – All files remain stored on the customers own secure file shares.
There are many choices for cloud storage and file sharing including huge providers like AWS and Google Drive and smaller players as well including Egnyte and Sharecloud. None of these providers can guarantee absolute total compliance and by their very nature of being cloud based and depending on shared cloud storage and mobile user management to secure files. If you are in the Healthcare provider business or a government institution mandating and monitoring the healthcare industry you need a data security tool that will do what no one else is able to do including OneDrive, Dropbox and Azure cloud. You need total control over data storage, access, ownership, privacy, management, and recovery. MyWorkDrive allows flexibility, lower cost of ownership, agility, more productivity, and guaranteed privacy so you can focus on the core competence of your practice. There is no need to compromise and go with a cloud-based file storage solution with MyWorkDrive. If you are going to go with a cloud-based solution then you need to take a long hard look at the best plan of action for disaster recovery, file security, ownership and control. Again, it's not a matter of if PII information is leaked, it's a matter of when. In healthcare, prevention is the mantra as it should be. Your patients' medical information and data privacy should be no exception.

RSA Conference 2018 Takeaway: Cloud Computing Is Not Secure
April 30, 2018 /in Cloud /by Dan Gordon
Data security and privacy compliance regulation was top priority at RSAC2018 because of the EU's GDPR deadline looming next month on May 25th. Last week, San Francisco's Moscone's Center was host to the security show of all shows, RSA2018, with over 500 vendors and 40,000 attendees from all over the world. One thing became very clear from all the exhibitors, keynotes, speakers, special programs, and podcasts – if you rely on the cloud, then protecting your data and securing it is critical for file sharing.
As the only file sharing/file remote access software solution vendor at the RSAC show, MyWorkDrive had amazing feedback and an overwhelmingly positive response exhibiting and providing demos of our latest version release at our booth. RSAC Broadcast Alley was host to MyWorkDrive's CMO, Jackie R. Bruckman, and MyWorkDrive's CEO, Dan Gordon, recorded live discussing all the ways MyWorkDrive can help Enterprise in all sectors stay secure and compliant.
MyWorkDrive met with decision makers and security professionals from all over the world and has been busy on-boarding new clients this week immediately following the show. MyWorkDrive had an overwhelmingly positive response demonstrating our secure file share remote access solution at RSAC2018 for enterprises. The overwhelming take away was that many Enterprises need MyWorkDrive to simplify their data security compliance for safe file sharing while making users more productive and reducing costs of support or migrations to new Enterprise File Sync and Share (EFSS) systems.
The Cloud is only someone else's server after all and it's time for many sectors to think outside the cloud. Windows file sharing with NTFS security is tried and true and may not be as glamorous, but we are empowering Enterprises across the globe to make the right decision about their most critical data while making users more productive and eliminating the security risks of cloud storage.

MyWorkDrive releases version 4.1!
April 3, 2018 /in News /by Dan Gordon
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 3rd, 2018 (San Francisco, CA)
MyWorkDrive– the San Francisco based Start Up redefining file sharing and instant content collaboration, releases its most robust version this week to happy Enterprise partners worldwide. HIPAA, FNRA, and GDPR compliance is a breeze whether you are accessing your company's digital assets from a mapped drive, web browser, or via an app in iOS. New enhanced features in version 4.1 include:
Ability to Open and Edit CSV Files Online & Network Shortcuts, New Upload/Download Timeouts, and New Security Controls.
MyWorkDrive was recently featured in the industry expert online journal, StorageSwiss touting MyWorkDrive's solution to the industry standard Enterprise File Sync and Share problems. Essentially MyWorkDrive cloudifies your own data center and allows remote users across your enterprise to access files instantly and easily and edit in real time by using a web browser login, a mapped drive, or an app for iOS on a phone or iPad.
The global Enterprise File Sharing and Synchronization (EFSS) market is currently valued at approximately 1.45 Billion USD and is projected to reach 8.59 Billion USD by 2025. EFSS providers are third-party cloud vendors who require an Enterprise to migrate all digital assets and files first and then sync before being able to share. This is costly, time consuming, and frustrating as company agility, productivity, and growth are key drivers in this inter connected global marketplace. Why migrate and be required to sync your files when your real priority is instant collaboration online?
"We are really happy with our improved security controls for all our Enterprise partners and their remote users using MyWorkDrive. We know instant collaboration performed securely is paramount as we continue to be a trusted partner in file share alternatives."
– Dan Gordon CEO & Co-Founder of MyWorkDrive.

Het Abu Dhabi Golfkampioenschap 2014 - officieel het Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship - was een golftoernooi in de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten, dat van 16 tot en met 19 januari 2014 werd gespeeld op de Abu Dhabi Golf Club in Abu Dhabi. Het toernooi maakte deel uit van de Europese PGA Tour 2014. Het totale prijzengeld was € 2.700.000.

Titelverdediger was Jamie Donaldson die vorig jaar het toernooi won met 14 slagen onder par.

Verslag
Justin Rose trok zich enkele dagen voor de aanvang van het toernooi terug wegens een schouderblessure.
Henrik Stenson, die eerder de Qatar Masters in 2006 en de Dubai Desert Classic in 2007 won, heeft zijn komst bevestigd. Voor hem is het bijna een thuiswedstrijd, aangezien hij van 2004 tot 2012 in Abu Dhabi woonde. Het baanrecord is 62 en staat op zijn naam.

De British Golf Association kondigde aan dat Jamie Spence, die tegenwoordig op de Senior Tour speelt, de leider wordt voor het Britse team (dames en heren) bij de Olympische Zomerspelen 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

Ronde 1
Tijdens de eerste ronde werden veel birdies gemaakt maar er viel geen enkele eagle en maar zes spelers speelden de ronde zonder een bogey te maken. Paul Casey maakte op hole 15 bijna een hole-in-one, de bal bleef net voor de hole liggen.
Alle spelers die in de top-10 staan, hebben een score van -5 of -4 en in totaal staan 51 spelers onder par. Daan Huizing en Thomas Pieters hadden een moeizame dag.

Ronde 2
De drie leiders maakten een zeer verschillende score voor ronde 2. Rafa CB scoorde 68 en bleef aan de top, Baldwin scoorde par en bleef nog net in de top-10 en Wattel scoorde 75 en zakte naar de 33ste plaats. Danny Willett maakte een schitterend toernooirecord en steeg naar de 3de plaats, Rory McIlroy en Tommy Fleetwood waren de enige andere spelers met een bogeyvrije ronde. Joost Luiten eindigde drie slagen achter de leiders.

Ronde 3
Craig Lee speelde opnieuw een ronde onder de 70 en bleef aan de leiding. Nummer 2 werd ineens Phil Mickelson na een ronde van 63.
Tommy Fleetwood, Joost Luiten en George Coetzee maakten ieder een ronde van 72 en zakten samen naar de 13de plaats.

Ronde 4
Met een birdie op de laatste hole won Pablo Larrazábal dit toernooi. Hij speelde met Phil Mickelson, die ook met een birdie eindigde. Joost Luiten eindigde met een goede ronde van 68 en klom naar de 6de plaats.
Door deze overwinning stijgt Larrazábal ongeveer 50 plaatsen op de wereldranglijst en op de Race To Dubai kwam hij op de 7de plaats, Luiten steeg door dit toernooi naar de 8ste plaats.

BlackBerry Passport buyback stores compete to offer you the best price.
The store checks out your BlackBerry Passport and sends your cash. You don't have to lift a finger!
The Blackberry Passport boasts a combination of IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with a capacitive touch 3-row QWERTY Blackberry keyboard. The display feature has a 1440 x 1440 pixel resolution which allows a multi-touch of up to 10 fingers. What's more, it is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
The Blackberry Passport runs Blackberry OS 10.3 which is upgradeable to 10.3.2. The smartphone packs a 32 GB internal storage space and 3 GB Ram. Also, the device features a 13 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera. It comes with a 3.5mm jack for headphones and allows accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass sensors.


T & R Boote (1842-1906) "Yosemite" platter. The registry diamond on the back of the platter indicates it was registered on January 13, 1883.
We went to Yosemite National Park, 11 of us, to celebrate my mother-in-law's 96th birthday. She is a native Californian, and first went to Yosemite in 1923, when she was one. She says her first hike was on her father's shoulders. Yosemite is one of her favorite places. She has hiked many of the trails over the last 90 plus years, and walked to the base of Yosemite Falls and in Yosemite Village, about four miles, a few days ago. (No wheel chair, no walker, no cane.) Maya, her great granddaughter, said that Grandma Mary was probably the oldest person in the Park. I thought so too.
What does my family celebration of a long and well-lived life have to do with transferware? The answer is a series of patterns made by T & R Boote titled "Yosemite." As with many Aesthetic patterns, there is rarely a connection between the title and the design.
T & R Boote "Yosemite" 14.5 inch vertical platter. Does this look like Yosemite National Park?
However, the pattern on the "Yosemite" platter below does resemble what you might have seen in Yosemite National Park in the 19th century, especially the giant sequoias, which are also known as giant redwoods. You can still see them today. By coincidence, there was an article in the New York Times recently about the Mariposa Grove of Giant Redwoods, which just reopened after three years of restoration. Read the article here.
"Yosemite" 21.5 inch platter. Notice the giant sequoias and the man riding his horse through one.
An old photo showing a carriage driven through a giant sequoia.
The giant trees aren't the only wonders that Yosemite has to offer. However, I don't want to tempt you to visit. There were so many people in Yosemite Valley in early June this year that it seemed like Midtown Manhattan during rush hour! I jest. Sort of.
David and Mary/Notice one of the beautiful water falls on the upper right.
It would be lovely to see Half Dome on a transferware platter.


The valedictorian of my high school was obese, he'd wear a t-shirt that was too small for him, and he was covered in boils. Inarticulate and temperamental, he'd yell at people in class.
He was very good at math, though.
He was also an Ontario Young Liberal who joined the provincial wing because he wanted Ontario to separate from Canada as he hated Quebec.
If you do send your kids to public school go to a graduation ceremony first. If the valedictorian is a pretty blonde girl or a black football player than it's probably a good school.
Just don't ask me why. That would cause me to think about graphs and charts and end up calling the school board Marxist.
(I was a student in the 1990s).


Based on the brands Instagram account and colors, I was able to select images and a story that matched their mission. The goal was to provide imagery that displayed a bold and realistic look at skin care for women of color. The main objective was to show the diverse skin tones within the community.
Using our Surrender template, we took the company's vision from idea to web. Keeping a lot of elements from the original template, we designed the site to be functional and informational, with a bunch of creativity in between.

Tap water drinkable only in Mumbai; Delhi, 13 state capitals fail test
| Updated: Sunday, November 17, 2019, 1:04 [IST]
New Delhi, Nov 16: Tap water in Mumbai is safe to drink, a study by the Union Consumer Affairs Ministry has found that the samples collected from the financial capital are compliant with the Indian standards for drinking water, according to a report.
Representational Image
Other metro cities; Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai, however, failed in almost 10 out of 11 quality parameters tested by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) which is under the aegis of the Consumer Affairs Ministry.
Similarly, samples drawn from 17 other state capitals were not as per the specification 'Indian Standard (IS)-10500:2012' for drinking water.
Releasing the second phase study, Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said, "Out of 20 state capitals, all the 10 samples of piped water drawn from Mumbai were found to comply with all 11 parameters, while other cities are failing in one or more."
Adorable picture of tiger drinking water from river with cubs is quickly going viral
The solution to this problem is to make compliance of quality standards for piped water mandatory across the country. The ministry has written to state governments in this regard, he told reporters.
Mumbai has the best tap water quality, Delhi worst among Indian metros
"Stringent actions cannot be taken as the quality standards for piped water at present are not mandatory. Once it becomes, we can take actions," Mr Paswan added.
In the first phase, the BIS had found all the 11 samples drawn from Delhi did not comply with the quality norm and the piped water was not safe for drinking purpose, he added.
Testing was conducted to check Organoleptic and physical parameters and know the chemical and toxic substances and bacteriological quality besides virological and biological parameters.
As per the latest study, one or more samples did not comply with the requirements of the IS in the cities of Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar, Ranchi, Raipur, Amravati and Shimla.
For instance, the sample in Hyderabad failed in one parameter 'phenolic compounds' and Bhubaneswar in 'Chloramines', while Chandigarh in two parameters 'Aluminium and Coliform'.
"None of the samples drawn from 13 of the state capitals -- Chandigarh, Guwahati, Bengaluru, Gandhinagar, Lucknow, Jammu, Jaipur, Dehradun, Chennai, Kolkata --complied with the requirements of the IS," he said.
In Chennai, all 10 samples failed in nine parameters like turbidity, odour, total hardness, chloride, fluoride, Ammonia, Boron and Coliform, while all nine samples in Kolkata failed in 10 quality parameters, the study showed.
In the third phase, BIS Director-General Pramod Kumar Tiwari said, samples from the capital cities of northeastern states and from 100 smart cities will be tested and their results are expected by January 15, 2020.
In the fourth phase, it is proposed to test samples from all the district headquarters of the country and the results are expected by August 15, 2020, he added.

Indian companies such as L&T and Shapoorji Pallonji are in Riyadh on a two-day trip to contribute to Vision 2030 projects [representational image].
The names have been revealed of the Indian construction and real estate companies currently in Saudi Arabia to explore Neom-related contracts. A spokesperson for India's Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) told Construction Week that high-profile Indian construction, real estate, and entertainment firms are in Riyadh for the two-day trip.
Officials from Larsen & Toubro's (L&T) India office are part of the delegation, which is aimed at collaborating with Saudi Arabia on megaprojects such as Neom, Red Sea Tourism, and Qiddiya. Also in attendance are officials from Shapoorji Pallonji, NMS Housing, and Carnival Group, a multiplex cinema chain that operates in India, Singapore, the UAE, and Bahrain. This July, Carnival Group acquired stake in Novo Cinemas, a popular cinema chain in the Emirates.
In addition to Neom, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea project, the Indian companies are also expected to seek work as partners on railway and aviation projects in Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah.
India's delegation in Saudi Arabia is led by Manoj Bharti, additional secretary at India's Ministry of External Affairs.
Saudi Arabia General Investment Authority (Sagia) is said to have issued more than 400 licenses to Indian firms recently, with the Asian country's investments in the kingdom totalling $1.5bn. In turn, Saudi – which is home to 3.2 million non-resident Indians (NRIs) – has invested up to $16bn in India, according to a statement by India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry. NRIs in Saudi Arabia send home remittances worth $10bn each year.
Backed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Indian companies are working to expand their networks in the global business community. Both L&T and Shapoorji Pallonji have a strong track record in the Middle East, with their regional portfolio including projects across the hydrocarbon, power generation, and civil engineering sectors.
L&T Saudi Arabia, L&T Oman, and Shapoorji Pallonji Mideast – the regional arm of the Mumbai-headquartered business – are all shortlisted for the upcoming Construction Week Awards 2018 in Dubai.

Otto Marloh (* 1. August 1893 in Hildesheim; † 20. März 1964 ebenda) war ein deutscher Offizier und Staatsbeamter. Allgemein bekannt wurde er als Angeklagter wegen Massenerschießung republikanischer Matrosen (1919) und wegen Beteiligung am Holocaust (1949).

Leben und Tätigkeit
Marloh, Sohn eines Hildesheimer Studienrats, entschied sich nach seinem Abitur 1912, Berufssoldat zu werden und trat als Fahnenjunker in das kaiserliche Heer ein. Von 1914 bis 1917 nahm er am Ersten Weltkrieg teil, in dem er mehrfach verwundet wurde. Nach dem Krieg schloss er sich dem Freikorps Reinhard an.
Während der Novemberrevolution im Berlin der ersten Nachkriegsmonate wurde Oberleutnant Marloh im Gefolge des Schießbefehls des Reichswehrministers Gustav Noske (SPD) vom 9. März 1919 von Oberst Wilhelm Reinhard damit beauftragt, einen Löhnungsappell der republikanischen, in Auflösung befindlichen Volksmarinedivision zu verhindern. Maßgabe dabei war, "in ausgiebigstem Maße von der Waffe Gebrauch zu machen". Daraufhin wählte Marloh nach Augenschein jeden zehnten der zusammengekommenen Soldaten zur Erschießung aus, von denen einer das Massaker überlebte. "Es wurde minutenlang auf sie gefeuert, und das Schreien und Jammern, das zu uns heraufdrang, war entsetzlich. Selbst einem Feldwebel der Regierungstruppen … traten die Tränen in die Augen. Er sagte, dass er an allen Frontteilen gekämpft und viel Fürchterliches erlebt habe, aber zu einer derartigen Henkersarbeit würde er sich nicht hergeben."

Marloh berief sich erfolgreich auf den Noske-Schießbefehl und wurde vom Vorwurf des Totschlags freigesprochen. Mord hatte das Gericht als Tatbestand im Vorfeld abgewiesen. Das Urteil zum "Matrosenmord in der Französischen Straße 32" wurde von den demokratischen Medien scharf kritisiert. In der Urteilsbegründung wurde festgestellt, dass die Erschießungen "objektiv unberechtigt" gewesen seien, die Opfer, die mit Waffen gekommen waren, gültige Waffenscheine besessen hätten, "keine Plünderer dabei" gewesen seien und die Lage Marlohs ihn nicht zum Waffengebrauch berechtigt habe. Das Gericht nahm ihm ab, dass er geglaubt habe, mit der Noske-Anweisung einen gültigen Dienstbefehl vor sich zu haben.

Zur Resonanz auf Prozess und Urteil gehörten bekannte Stimmen wie die von Kurt Tucholsky, George Grosz, Harry Graf Kessler oder Erich Mühsam (siehe unten).

1925 trat Marloh in den Stahlhelm ein. Seit 1930 gehörte er der NSDAP als Mitglied an. Zu einem zeitlich bisher nicht bestimmten Zeitpunkt schloss er sich auch der Sturmabteilung (SA), der Parteiarmee der NSDAP an, in der er mindestens von 1932 bis 1934 – als er den Posten eines Stabsführers für eine Formation in Unterholstein bekleidete – auch Funktionärsaufgaben übernahm.

Im Gefolge des Röhm-Putsches vom Sommer 1934, der auch Marlohs Komplize bei den konterrevolutionären Erschießungen von 1919, Eugen von Kessel, zum Opfer fiel, wurde auch Marloh im Ausland verschiedentlich irrtümlich als im Rahmen der Aktion ermordet gemeldet.

Tatsächlich blieb Marloh unbehelligt und wurde im Jahr 1934 zum Leiter des Zuchthauses in Celle ernannt, was er bis 1939 blieb. 1941 übernahm er die Leitung des Zuchthauses in Gollnow.

Von 1942 bis zum Zusammenbruch des Nationalsozialismus war er kommissarisch Landrat des Kreises Wittgenstein. In dieser Funktion bemühte er sich um die Deportation der als "Zigeuner" kategorisierten Bewohner des Kreises. Anfang März 1943 leitete er die Selektionskonferenz in der Kreisstadt Berleburg, mit der der letzte Schritt zur lokalen Deportation in das Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau vorbereitet wurde. Die Konferenz setzte sich dabei exzessiv über den zugrundeliegenden Auschwitz-Erlass hinweg. 134 Menschen, etwa die Hälfte Kinder, das jüngste drei Monate alt, wurden deportiert. Neun von ihnen überlebten.

In den letzten Kriegstagen erteilte Marloh den Befehl zur Tötung eines abgesprungenen US-Fliegers (der von dem damit Beauftragten nicht ausgeführt wurde), bevor er sich in einen sicheren und gut ausgestatteten Schlupfwinkel begab, um sich dort mit anderen führenden regionalen Nationalsozialisten von der Front überrollen zu lassen.

Nach dem Ende des NS-Regimes wurde Marloh von der Britischen Militärregierung als nationalsozialistisch belastet festgenommen und interniert. Überliefert ist, dass er während der Internierung ständig die Bemerkung im Mund führte: "Wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen, was sie auch immer mit uns tun!" 1949 wurde er im Zuge des Berleburger Zigeunerprozesses des Anklagepunktes, Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit begangen zu haben, für schuldig befunden und zu vier Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. Zu einer Strafverbüßung kam es aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht. Die Prozesskosten wurden Marloh wegen angeblicher Armut erlassen. Gegen die Verfahren gegen ihn und seine Mitangeklagten hatte es in der Region eine starke Bewegung gegeben, an deren Spitze sich die evangelisch-reformierte Kirchengemeinde gestellt hatte. Sie forderten Freisprüche, da sie die Angeklagten als unschuldig sahen. Etwaige Verurteilungen betrachteten diese Stimmen als Unrecht. Zu den Entlastungserklärungen, die Marloh in den Prozess einbrachte, gehörte ein Schreiben des völkisch-nationalsozialistischen bildenden Künstlers Erich Klahn, eines Celler Freundes. Er begründete seine Unterstützung für Marloh mit dessen "ausserordentlich lauterer Gesinnung und seiner hervorragenden männlichen Haltung". M. habe einen "unbestechlichen Charakter" und strebe "bewusst eine klare und kompromisslose Ordnung unter den Menschen, zwischen den Völkergemeinschaften und Staaten" an. Er habe "Vorbildliches für sein Vaterland geleistet" und sei "als Mensch unantastbar".

Marloh starb 1964 in seiner Geburtsstadt Hildesheim.

Zeitgenössische Stimmen zu dem Verfahren 1919

 George Grosz in Bildtiteln zu M.: "Was ein Hakenkreuzritter werden will, … übt sich bei Zeiten" (1919/20)

 Harry Graf Kessler: M. sei eine "mörderische Gliederpuppe" und "grauenhafte Karikatur des preußischen Militarismus", die Tat eine "widernatürliche Unmenschlichkeit, die nur den äußersten Abscheu wecken kann". (Tagebuch, 1919)

 Erich Mühsam: "Nachdem man die Mörder Liebknechts und Luxemburgs in einer Gerichtsfarce teils freigesprochen, teils scheinbestraft hat, nachdem Herr Vogel mit Hilfe seiner "Richter" nach Holland durchgebrannt ist, hat man nun auch noch den Hauptschuldigen bei der Ermordung der 32 Matrosen in der Französischen Straße, nachdem man ihn monatelang sich seiner Freiheit hatte erfreuen lassen, entkommen lassen." (Tagebücher, Zuchthaus Ebrach, 12. Juni 1919)

 "Die Opfer des weißen Schreckens haben sich im Laufe des Jahres noch ungeheuer vermehrt, ohne daß den Mördern irgendetwas Böses passiert wäre. Die Prozesse gegen Marloh und seine paar Mordkumpane, die man überhaupt vor Gericht stellte, um durch Freisprüche oder alberne Scheinurteile das Volk zu provozieren, sind in frischer Erinnerung." (Tagebücher, 14. Januar 1920)

 Kurt Tucholsky, Prozessbeobachter/Sitzungsteilnehmer: "unfassbare Rohheit" (siehe auch: "Weihnachten", , "Prozeß Marloh", )

We go the distance – going wherever our clients need us to tackle the toughest jobs that few others would, or could, deliver.
McMahon Services is a leading privately-owned environmental, infrastructure and building construction and services provider operating across New Zealand and Australia.
Established in 1990 by brothers David and Andrew McMahon, the business has grown from an Adelaide-based company into an award-winning contractor across the Australia Pacific Region.
With 14 offices and workshops across New Zealand and Australia, we employ over 700 staff delivering projects in capital cities, rural townships, isolated islands and in remote outback locations.
In 2018, McMahon Services opened our first New Zealand office
The opportunity to expand our growing operations in New Zealand began in 2017, when McMahon Services were approached to provide asbestos remediation solutions for contaminated historical vehicles, at Auckland's Museum of Technology and Transport (MOTAT).
The project gathered local interest and soon McMahon Services were approached by various consulting firms with an interest in servicing the growing remediation marketing utilising McMahon Services as an industry partner.
Our contributions to the local asbestos industry have already been recognised by New Zealand Demolition and Asbestos Association (NZDAA). During the 2018 Demolition and Asbestos Awards McMahon Services was presented with an award for the category 'Asbestos or Demolition Best Practice Project under $1 million', for the Auckland Museum of Technology and Transport (MOTAT) project.
New Zealand Service Offering
From our head office in Auckland, and support from our parent company McMahon Services Australia, we deliver projects anywhere throughout the North and South Islands.
We service local, national and international customers within the commercial, industrial, transport, utilities, resources, Defence and Government sectors. Our reputation is built on our track record of delivering high-risk projects in some of the most challenging conditions.

Our New Zealand Team
Our Auckland operations are managed by three veterans of the asbestos and roofing and cladding industries, and one new employee who has 25 years' experience in the commercial and residential property industries.
John Flavel is our New Zealand National Manager bringing over 30 years of experience in the construction, asbestos and waste remediation industries to the role. Since 1993 John has overseen the Asbestos Removal and Hazardous Waste Division of McMahon Services, delivering hazardous material abatement services for Federal and State Government and clients in the health, industrial, commercial, Defence and mining sectors, in all states and territories of Australia and on remote island nations across the Pacific Ocean.
Tony Woods, Construction Manager for McMahon Services' Asbestos and Hazardous Waste division has relocated on a temporary basis to Auckland to establish the office and take on a business development role locally. Tony brings his extensive Australian experience in asbestos removal and abatement works to the New Zealand market.
Supporting Tony is Robert Tester, with over 45 years of experience in the asbestos remediation, building and roofing industries. Transitioning from his role as Roofing and Cladding Manager in South Australia – where Robert has delivered more than a quarter of a million square meters of roofing — Robert has taken up an operational role across New Zealand.
Tim Boys, a New Zealand local, has more than 25 years' professional experience in the commercial and residential property industries. Tim is an experienced Senior Project Manager, with experience in the design and management of demolition and remediation projects. With proven success in meeting strategic deadlines, team leadership and motivation, operational planning, assessment and analysis reporting he brings a wealth of knowledge to the team.
Today we employ over 15 full time people in New Zealand, supported by over 80 specialist professionals from our Head Office.

Our work spans high-volume small-scale projects to complex multi-million-dollar projects sometimes managed over disperse geographical areas. We develop long-term collaborative relationships with clients, with more than half our work being for repeat clients across all industries.
Across all projects and service lines, all projects operate under a single McMahon Services management system.
This system is certified to the Federal Safety Commission Scheme, AS/NZS 4801:2001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System. This ensures a consistent and streamlined project management approach.

In case you are around 02138 and do not have lunch-plans on Monday, the Berkman Center is hosting an informal, brown-bag (i.e., B-Y-O this time, only because of my last-minute-ness on this score; apologies!) lunch with Kenn Cukier, a former fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and well-respected author and journalist, on the topic of software patents and the future of innovation on the Internet. As you may know, Mr. Cukier has written a piece in The Economist on this topic that ran in the Oct. 22 – 28 edition, in which he argues — more subtly than this, of course — that, despite growing pains, the changes in the patent regime in the past few decades are positive developments toward the creation of a more efficient market for ideas. The online version (reg. req'd.) of his story is here. There's also an interview with Kenn here. Kenn tells me he is ready for some resistance from our crowd (he is sure to get it).


You can use the Change Language block to change the language of the application. This also changes the language in which audio resources are played.
Typically, you use this block to switch languages once the caller's language preference is determined. This may be determined by prompting the caller to select his preferred language, using logic in the application (for example, a call that is routed to a regional contact center might use a default language setting for each region), or a RESTful API call into a customer preferences database that returns the preferred language.
You can use the Change Language block in any phase of the application.
If a Self Service shared module called from the Self Service phase of the application changes a language, that language stays in effect when the module returns to the calling flow.
You must upload audio resources for all languages used in the application before the application is run.
If you set the language of an application to a variable, you must ensure that the associated audio files have been uploaded before the application is run. Otherwise, if these audio files are missing, no audio is available to play during the call. Designer cannot detect this error when you click Publish to validate and save your application.
