A Chat with DC-Born Cartoonist Liza Donnelly
Liza Donnelly by Elena Rossini by Mike RhodeWe're going to wrap up this crummy, lousy, bad year with an interview with an excellent, world-class, funny cartoonist to put a hopeful spin on starting 2021. The Washington Post ran an excellent article by Liza Donnelly earlier this year in which she pointed out that she was born in DC. With this hook, she's agreed to answer our usual questions.What type of comic work or cartooning do you do?I do a variety of things, but I am perhaps most known...

Why A Charlie Brown Christmas Is So Enduring
"Charles Schulz had what Maurice Sendak had: respect for children. He understood the way they think and feel, not the way adults want them to think and feel. He understood that there's a point in children's growing up when Christmas doesn't work its magic as reliably as it once did. Schulz let them explore a taboo subject, Christmastime unhappiness, while still reassuring them that Christmas is a good and fun and wonderful thing." – The Atlantic

Fans are not happy the Peanuts holiday specials will not be broadcast on TV this year after Apple bought the rights to stream
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Photo by Walt Disney Television via Getty Images Photo Archives/Walt Disney Television via Getty Images Apple acquired the rights to air classic Peanuts holiday specials this year.

Fans are not happy after Apple bought the rights to stream Peanuts holiday specials meaning they won't broadcast on TV this year
'A Charlie Brown Christmas' is now an Apple TV+ exclusive
On first screening, the network assumed it had a disaster on its hands. It was a quiet cartoon — more of a meditation on seasonal depression than a proper holiday film. The pacing was slow, it was voiced by a cast of amateur children and the soundtrack amounted to little more than the jazz piano stylings of a mustachioed North Beach hipster nicknamed "Dr. Funk." Worst of all, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" actively railed against the commercialization of the season, primarily in the form of an exte...

39 reasons Orange County should rename John Wayne Airport
The long-simmering debate over whether John Wayne's name is appropriate for Orange County's airport has boiled up again. In an era when racial injustice is back in the spotlight, the county's Democratic Party — and others — now want the actor's name off the facility for offensive remarks made a half-century ago. It became John Wayne Airport in 1979 after the Newport Beach resident's death. Let me start by saying I think airports and the surrounding tourism industry are best served when a name te...

The Peanuts Gang Performs Pink Floyd's Classic Rock Opera in the Mashup "Charlie Brown vs. The Wall"
YouTuber Garren Lazar has hit upon a brilliant idea—take clips from Charles M. Schulz's universally beloved Peanuts cartoons and cut them together with universally beloved (more or less) popular anthems like "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Don't Stop Believing," "Freebird," and "Stayin' Alive." The huge emotions of these songs suit the oversized feelings of the comic's characters, who were, all of them, variations of Schulz himself. As Jeff Kinney writes in his introduction to Chip Kidd's book, On...

Peanuts Rock: Watch the Peanuts Gang Play Classic Rock Songs by Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey & More
In a very crowded field, Garren Lazar's comical take on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a stand-out. Comical in the literal sense. Lazar, aka Super G, struck a rich vein when he thought to mash the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" with footage culled from Charles Schulz's animated Peanuts specials. And over the last six years, he's mined a lot of gold, using Final Cut Pro to pair familiar clips of a drumming Pigpen, Snoopy slapping a double bass, and the iconic "Linus And Lucy" sc...

Enjoying the melancholy undercurrent of Charlie Brown television specials
Presently hovering between Halloween and Christmas, after watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and on the way to A Charlie Brown Christmas. I was seven years old when Charlie Brown's sad tree was first shown on TV in 1965 — the same year my parents divorced. Oddly, or perhaps not so oddly, my memory of that period has vanished. I do recall watching Abbott and Costello in Jack and the Beanstalk one evening, and then being told after it ended that they were getting divorced. No recollec...

Umberto Eco Explains Why We Make Lists
Creative Commons image by Rob Bogaerts, via the National Archives in Holland We hate lists, which have told us what to do since at least the days Leonardo da Vinci, and which now, as "listicles," constitute one of the lowest strata of internet content. But we also love lists: a great many of us click on those listicles, after all, and one might argue that the list, as a form, represents the beginning of written texts.

5 ways to celebrate Snoopy's birthday at Knott's
In 1950, the world met what was to become one of the most popular dogs ever, Snoopy. Cartoonist Charles Schulz loosely based the Peanuts character on Spike, a black and white pup that he'd had as a teen, and incorporated him into the gang's fun, along with sending the beagle on some of his own adventures. On Aug. 10, 1968, Schulz's comic strip depicted the Peanuts Gang giving Snoopy a surprise birthday party and, no surprise, 50 years later, many of us still have a case of puppy love and celebra...

I previously posted this in the DVWorkshop yahoogroup, but I'd like to get comments here too.
I have wanted to create a variant covering Southeast Asia for many years, given the extremely interesting and fleet-oriented geography, and the lack of historical variants covering the area, so I gave it a shot. It is called Spice Islands Diplomacy, and a map with unit locations (and rules, though really the only notable rule change is Chaos-style builds) is below for your review.
I also realized that this variant was drawn to just about the same scale as the usual map for my Maharajah's Diplomacy variant, and was set at just about the same time period. The two variants overlapped a bit on one edge, so I decided to combine them for a large scale variant stretching from Indonesia to the Indian Subcontinent and the northwestern reaches of the Indian Ocean. It worked well, and a map of East Indies Diplomacy with unit locations and rules for your review is below as well.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are very welcome.

Towards an Italian strategy for the Arctic
Italy in the Arctic: a centenary history
Italy in the Arctic: the political dimension
Environmental and human dimension
The scientific dimension
Economic dimension
The Italian Foreign Ministry, together with the Ministry of the Environment (MATTM) and the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE), as well as the scientific community and the private sector, has drafted a first version of Italy's Strategy for the Arctic.
This paper summarises the origins, evolution and objectives of Italy's presence in a region increasingly at the centre of the international community's attention.
Italy is preparing to celebrate the centenary of its presence in the Arctic, acknowledged in 2013 when it was admitted to attend the work of the Arctic Council as an Observer State. Our imprint, inaugurated by the expeditions of the Duke of the Abruzzi and Commander Nobile, has become progressively consolidated thanks to the quality and breadth of the activities of Italian centres of excellence and business.
Italy intends to analyse in depth all aspects of cooperation, both in multilateral contexts (in the Arctic Council and other fora) and at a bilateral level with individual Arctic countries. At a national level, the Italian government will continue to support national research centres working in the Arctic and is committed to increasing the sensitisation of civil society within the framework of total readiness to cooperate with citizens and organizations interested in acquiring greater knowledge and in-depth information about the Arctic.
All this will take place on the basis of the principles and objectives of the European Union's environmental policy, with particular reference to issues linked to sustainable development; hence compatibility and synergy between safeguarding the environment, economic development and the specific needs of indigenous populations. Italy's capacity to take on pioneering challenges and merge high technology with attention to defending cultural and environmental heritage, is the added value of the contribution Italy can provide to the Arctic region's sustainable development and economic growth.
Italy is profoundly committed to studying climate change through the work undertaken by its research groups in the Arctic. Over the coming years, the Italian scientific community will be committed to promoting Italy's participation in research in the Arctic as one of the country's scientific and technological "excellences". This will come about by increasing Italy's presence in the pan-Arctic observation system, consolidating internationalisation, participating in the strengthening of the European Arctic's infrastructure as promoted by the European Commission, by the Arctic nations as well as by other Mediterranean countries, promoting and strengthening cooperation between the various subjects interested at a national level, concentrating on innovation and technological experimentation – especially in the field of marine (USV, ROV) and satellite atmospheric observation (UAV, monitoring systems in extreme environments, monitoring systems for the air-sea-ice interface).
Italy is already able to answer the needs for infrastructures and services created to match the requirements of the region, through the technological excellence of its companies, especially as far as specialised services are concerned, such as satellite observation and offshore engineering as well as the energy, maritime and construction sectors. Italy has a long tradition in the research and development of offshore hydrocarbons. At the same time, Italy is characterised by the high value of its cultural and environmental heritage, which is unique in the world. Italian businesses are therefore especially sensitive to the environmental compatibility of extractive operations and have developed significant competence guaranteeing high levels of safety.
Italian institutions make available to the Arctic states all their acquired competences, cooperating within the Arctic Council's working groups so as to address and resolve criticalities linked to increased anthropic and industrial activity in the Arctic.

LOS ANGELES — The nation's high school students lie a lot, cheat a lot, and many show up for class drunk, according to preliminary results of a nationwide teen character study released Monday.
Seven in 10 students surveyed admitted cheating on a test at least once in the past year, and nearly half said they had done so more than once, according to the nonprofit Joseph & Edna Josephson Institute of Ethics.
"This data reveals a hole in the moral ozone," said Michael Josephson, founder and president of the Marina Del Rey-based organization.
On the other hand, the results were not significantly worse than on the last test in 1998 – the first time that has happened since the group began testing in 1992.
The "Report Card on the Ethics of American Youth" found that 92 percent of the 8,600 students surveyed lied to their parents in the past year. Seventy-eight percent said they had lied to a teacher, and more than one in four said they would lie to get a job.
Nearly one in six students said they had shown up for class drunk at least once in the past year. Sixty-eight percent admitted they hit someone because they were angry.
Nearly half said they could get a gun if they wanted to.
Josephson stopped short of assigning blame to a particular group, but he said parents, teachers and coaches need to pay special attention because they have the most significant interactions with youngsters.
The survey, conducted this year, involved students in grades nine through 12 in both public and private schools. Participating schools handed out surveys with 57 questions that students could submit anonymously.
71 percent of the participants admitted to cheating on a test at least once in the past year; 45 percent said they did so two or more times.
92 percent have lied to their parents in the past year; 79 percent said they did so two or more times.
78 percent lied to a teacher; 58 percent lied two or more times.
More than one in four students admitted they would lie to get a job.
Nearly one in six said they have been drunk at school; 9 percent admitted to showing up for class drunk more than once in the past year.
68 percent said they have hit someone because they were angry in the past 12 months; 46 percent said they did it on at least two separate occasions.
47 percent said they could get a gun if they wanted to.


Maybe you thought all there was to order from street-side vendors in Beijing were the oddities, like the scorpions and starfish at Wangfujing snack street. Thankfully, you would be wrong; there's a world of delicious street snacks to be found in Beijing (and other cities in China,) that you shouldn't wait to explore!
Summer interns, Hannah, Olivia, Shirley and Kamilla, give you the scoop on eight must-try street snacks in Beijing. These foods will always be one of our favorite memories, and something we will definitely miss after returning home. They're cheap, found in almost every corner of the city, and satisfy every kind of craving. Read on below and don't be surprised if your stomach starts growling.
Olivia: Lighter than normal yogurt, suannai is a great refreshing drink on a hot day.
Shirley: Sometimes I have a feeling I should try it, but then I think, hmm, better not.
Kamilla: I was hesitant to try at first, but it turned out to be a delicious and refreshing snack! Now I understand why I see them everywhere.
Traditionally, tanghulu is made by putting hawthorns on a stick and dipping them in sugar syrup. The sugary shell resembles ice, giving it's name "iced candied hawthorn." Small sour fruits, hawthorns bring a contrast to the sweet coating. Other fruits are often candied to make tanghulu, such as strawberries, mandarin oranges, and pineapples.
Hannah: I am personally not a fan of this hard, sugary mess, though apparently I am an anomaly. The candied part feels like shards of glass making it difficult for me to enjoy. I like foods that don't threaten me.
Olivia: Bingtanghulu are great but very sweet, make sure you are sharing a skewer with a friend or two to avoid a sugar rush.
Shirley: Last time I had tanghulu there was a candied cherry tomato on it…apparently tomatoes are fruits too. But despite the experimental nature of some tanghulu makers, these are actually quite good. They remind me of carnival food, super sweet and perfect to share.
Kamilla: Messy to eat but so worth it. Like candy apples but cuter.
These thin skewers of meat and sometimes veggies are probably the most widely available snack food in Beijing. Although it receives praise from 老外 (laowai, foreigners) for being an amazing midnight snack, many locals enjoy this food regularly. This snack is typically spiced with a combination of cumin, sesame, and pepper flakes and then cooked on make-shift grills on the side of the street or in small, hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
Hannah: Just like you smell freshly baked chocolate chip cookies a mile away, you can smell chuar a kilometer away. Ok maybe not a kilometer but definitely down the hutong. This is a food that smells just as good at is tastes, so that's a win-win.
Olivia: Chuanr are a great snack because you can choose exactly how much food you want to eat and know what you're ordering.
Shirley: You never really know what you're eating when it comes to chuanr…but for one kuai, who cares?
Kamilla: I am tempted every time I smell the combination of charcoal, cumin, pepper walking down the street.
Youtiao is a Chinese spin on doughnuts: this snack is a long, twisted fried dough that is usually enjoyed with a cup of hot soy milk. Unlike doughnuts though, sugar is an opt-in feature. Chinese McDonald's branches have adopted this as local food and sell it alongside breakfast sandwiches.
Hannah: Youtiao is a treat. Though it has zero nutritional benefit, that never stops me from ordering it, or it's brother Youbing, the flat version, or my favorite sibling of all, tangyoubing, the sugary flat version of the youtiao. Easily 5 out of 5 stars, and there's no chance you'll get a bad one. It's impossible.
Olivia: Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, youtiao are satisfying any morning.
Shirley: Not a huge fan of oily breakfasts…but it's probably good hangover food ;).
Baozi are stuffed steamed buns, a classic grab-and-go meal. They are a great filling snack, usually consisting of a meat in heavy white bread. Bamboo steamers full of baozi can be seen on the streets, piled high with buns made fresh to order.
Hannah: Baozi, like people, are diverse. The stuffing can cater to the omnivorous type like me! I can choose from chives and egg, to fennel and egg, to mushroom and carrot. Any xia'r you imagine, probably exists. And for the meat lovers, pork stuffings with different vegetables are the most popular. There's nothing like biting into a pipin' hot baozi any time, day or night.
Olivia: Baozi are so ubiquitous in Beijing that I never crave them because I see them everywhere. The meat filling, while delicious, is something I've smelled so often that I try to avoid it.
Shirley: Perfect to warm you up and fill you up during the colder months!
Kamilla: These fill you up fast! My favorite baozi are the ones filled with lamb and Chinese chives.
Jianbing has to be the ultimate Chinese breakfast. Bing booths are found on almost any street, most busy in the early mornings. It is made from a crepe base fried with an egg on a circular flat grill, and filled with scallions and flavorful sauces. The jianbing has also made it to San Francisco and Portland, and even this year's Met Gala.
Hannah: Safe to say I have this about 3-4 mornings a week for breakfast and I still crave it. It's hearty, though it slacks on the greens, there's some cilantro in there.
Olivia: Jianbing is my favorite street food! Warm, hearty, simple, and served in a large portion, it is filling without feeling too indulgent.
Shirley: I'm almost always in the mood for bing — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Check out its cousin, the shou zhua bing, too!
Also known as a Chinese Hamburger, Roujiamo is stewed meat stuffed in a pita bun. The flavors of your roujiamo will depend on the vendor, as each use their own spiced mix, drizzle and preparation styles. Most commonly the meat is stewed with spices such as chili, cumin, and mouth-numbing Sichuan pepper.
Hannah: Just stick with the American version.
Olivia: Roujiamo is a competitor to the hamburger, with pork instead of beef, it's the perfect solution to a craving for meat on the go.
Beibingyang is as ubiquitous in Beijing as Cola and Fanta. This orange soda drink differentiates itself from others with its "ultra-low" sugar content. The polar bear was put on hiatus after Beibingyang Co. started a joint venture with Pepsi in 1994, but in 2011 the brand made a comeback and can be found in almost any convenience store or restaurant.
Hannah: This toned down version of diabetes inducing Fanta has the perfect ratio of bubbles to gulp. While drinking an ice-cold Beibingyang in its slim, glass bottle, you can't help but feel 100% satisfied.
Olivia: Chinese food is best when spicy and oily, making refreshing drinks like beibingyang a necessity.
Shirley: Perfect for a hot, summer Beijing day!
Kamilla: After trying this, "low sugar content" are my favorite three words when it comes to soda.

Cameroon: Kamto announces nationwide protest to oust Biya on September 22
(c)copyright
The Cameroon Renaissance Movement has announced a nationwide protest on September 22 to call for the departure of Paul Biya at the helmn of the country.
The Head of State Paul Biya yesterday convened the electorates for the first ever Regional elections which will hold on December 6.
However, the leader of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement, Professor Maurice Kamto had warned any attempt to convene the electorate without revising the electoral code and solving the crisis in the North West and Sout;h West Regions will be met with fierce protests.
After the electorate was convened yesterday, Olivier Bibou Nissack, spokesperson of Maurice Kamto announced on Facebook that September 22 will be the date for a "Cameroon Revolution", stating "Paul Biya must go".
September 22 is a significant date in the recent history of Cameroon as three years ago, peaceful protests swept across the Anglophone Regions as the Head of State was addressing the UN General Assembly. A week later, separatists marched on the streets to declare the restoration of what they call Ambazonia and the protests soon turned violent as security forces stepped in to quench the protests. The crisis since then morphed to an armed conflict which has claimed over 2000 lives according to UN figures.

Max Factory is going to release the Mari Illustrious Makinami 1/6 PVC figure from the official Evangelion movie, Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) Advance. This figure is approximately 275mm in height and will be released in March 2011 around 7,800 yen.
Her pose is based off the front cover of a magazine which was illustrated by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. Max Factory did a great job converting it to a PVC figure, I do think she looks good in both sculpting & finishing. A definite must-have for any fans of Mari!


Even more so as the stereotype of a rainy climate, rough waters and windy coasts which often comes to mind when talking about Germany's largest island by area does not match reality.
Given, there may be bad weather days, but in fact, Ruegen is blessed by more than 1,800 hours of sunshine annually. Also because of this, the island at the Baltic Sea is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Germany. The notorious pirate Stoertebeker sailed the shores of Ruegen before he was beheaded on the island in the 14th century. There's still an annual theater festival on Ruegen replaying his story.
Two national parks are situated on the island: the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park and the Jasmund National Park with its famous chalk cliffs (Königsstuhl). The region offers a huge variety of beaches and shores, it is heaven for windsurfers and kitesurfers as well as for families: Take your loved ones for a walk through the beautiful nature of the national parks or have a relaxed day at the beach.
Binz in the south east of Ruegen, where the IRONMAN 70.3 is hosted, is the largest seaside resort on the island. Athletes can travel comfortably to their race destination by plane via airport Rostock, Hamburg or Berlin, go by train or car. There are regular ferry boat connections – from and to the German mainland just like to and from Sweden and Denmark.
The southern and eastern surroundings of this city are hilly – at least for North German conditions – reaching a height of about 100 meters above sea level. Binz is known for its historical resort architecture, it became a seaside resort as early as in the 1880s. The city is located close to the Jasmund National Park, which was awarded the status of a World Heritage site by the UNESCO in 2011.
Enjoy your race and some relaxing holidays with your loved ones in the island's breathtaking nature. Try some of the countless sports and spa activities on offer and refill your energy in one of the more than 70 restaurants in Binz before returning to your charming room in one of the over 30 hotels in walking distance to the finish line area.
1. In 2013 Ruegen had the most hours of sunshine in the whole of Germany.
2. Ruegen is famous for stone i.e. its chalk cliffs. The soil on the island is very fertile, however, the heartland is characterized by agriculture.
3. Ruegen has an area of all in all 926 km2. The maximum length (north to south) amounts to 51.4 kilometers.
4. In Latin Ruegen is also called Rugia or Rugia Island, it is Germany's biggest island by area.
5. The island is a popular holiday destination. It receives about one quarter of all overnight stays in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Peak season is between June and August.

Increasing dependency on technology for better lifestyle and comfort and growing number of tech savvy people, demands security in protecting personal and corporate data.
The Mobile Security market shows a promising picture for the future growth of mobile device security and data protection solutions. This market, in its early stage as compared to smartphones, tablets and laptop market, is contributing to a good fraction of revenue for the overall mobile device and information security industry. User-friendly and widespread available technology solutions is increasingly becoming popular amidst the mobile device end-users. In addition to the aforementioned advantages, technological advancements and increasing awareness amongst consumers could lead to a rapid growth of the mobile security market in the forecast period. Technological advancements in VPN network security enable the customer to connect remotely to their company's network in much secured way. Incorporating security solutions inside mobile device can dynamically upgrade the company's manufacturing process. Data prevention and security solutions are promoted through technical events such as OWASP AppSec, in which government, research and practitioners discuss and formulate application security measures and probable solutions.
Security and protection of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and the enterprise networks they connect to be largely associated with transactions, accesses and wireless computing. The Mobile Security market covers all the OS platforms and solutions used for providing security service within the mobile devices. The research conducted, provides a fair idea about the global mobile security market. Various products and services of security software are discussed in this report. Based on geography, the global Mobile Security market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East & Africa). Further, the report also highlights the altered strategies of key market players in order to improve their Mobile Security market share and sustain in the competitive market. Kaspersky Lab, Symantec, Microsoft, innoPath Software, Google, Intel (McAfee), MobileIron and IBM are some of the major companies profiled in the report that provide security solutions for individual and enterprise users across the mobile security software solutions industry.
On the basis of solutions, global mobile security market is segmented into authentication, mobile application management and mobile data protection. Mobile application management trend is likely to increase as more applications would be introduced in the market. Some of the prime reasons for the development of application security solutions would be the increasing dependency on applications and the frequency and length of usage.
On the basis of security types, the mobile security market is segmented into integrated-mail and Anti-Virus. In 2013, Antivirus security was leading the market. However, the scenario is less likely to change in 2020, as Email security solutions would occupy a remarkable of the global market share.

The company has also made Siri available on the iPAd and iPod devices which makes the device communicate in multiple languages. In 2013, Android was leading the market.
Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) adopt the BYOD policy which demands varied security software to protect corporate data. Different enterprises such as financial institutions, retail, education, manufacturing, automotive, healthcare and others uses mobile security solutions to protect their data. Financial institutions such as banking sector dominated the enterprise security usage followed by telecommunication and IT.
Geographically, the Mobile Security market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and LAMEA. The Asia-Pacific region has shown a prominent growth and is expected to grow further over the forecast period. In the years to come, Asia-Pacific would be a prominent market, owing to the rapidly growing population, increasing IT hubs. This would indirectly boost the market for mobile security market in the Asia-Pacific region.
Current payment systems do not contain specific recommendations about accepting payments with mobile devices. The proliferation of mobile devices and their adoption are advancing rapidly which facilitates the payment card industry (PCI) data security standard to improvise on the mobile payments. The councils and organizations are developing point-to-point encryption solutions to secure mobile payments. Commencing financial transactions without hampering sensitive data would lead to a wide adoption of the technology in future. Based these features, impact of safety and security in mobile payments is expected to gain a large market share in future.
As smartphones and tablets gain popularity in the mobile device market, the proliferation of BYOD continues to gain momentum. Employees become more productive when they are allowed to work outside office. BYOD acts as an alternative strategy that allows employees, business partners and other users to use a personal device that execute applications and access data. Companies are following this strategy to keep their work environment productive and utilize opportunities by providing the usage cost to employees. The impact would increase in the future as numerous companies follow this trend.
Increasing need of security has driven the development and implementation of mobile security solutions in protecting digital content. The digital content present in the mobile devices includes music, films and e-books which are downloaded by the users. Such applications not only require high level of security in protection against unauthorized access, but also require a high level of functionality to deliver quality features as expected by the end users. Content security solution providers are working with content copyright holders, technology providers and device manufactures for better understand level of security needed. Advancement in technology solutions to protect DRM, trusted playback, user authentication and trusted link protection would increase the adoption of the solution in future.
The unprecedented demand for smartphone and tablets creates ample business opportunities for mobile device manufacturers. There is an increased level of threat for mobile users in accessing the internet from open or public Wi-Fi hotspots. VPN's are established for office use that allow users to log into the work network from remote places and gain access to the services that are required for operations. Advancements in VPN also help to access websites that may not be available in the specified region. Additional features provided by the solution providers along with VPN protection is expected to gain a wide adoption in future.
With the constant rise in adoption of smartphone, tablets and other mobile devices, security issues are expected to become increasingly important and widespread in many embedded devices. Performance, price and reliability standards for the mobile need to be managed while conceptualizing these security solutions. The integrated solution is a combination of content from both security engineers and embedded system engineers which ultimately increases the complexity in the designed solution system. The battle to secure devices begins at the initial stage of device manufacturing. With an increasing adoption of security measures at initial development stage, the system designing complexity reduces to a great extent.
The overall familiarity and awareness for mobile security solutions in certain regions is low. Lack of awareness regarding technology can act as a threat for the mobile security solutions industry. The technological advancements in providing security solutions to individual users and enterprises would facilitate the Mobile Security market growth.

FIG. 31 SWOT ANALYSIS OF GOOGLE INC.
Antivirus protection has always been the priority for mobile devices. Since the usage of smartphones and tablets have increased globally, these devices often contain personal and business information which requires data protection as well. Mobile security software incorporates antispam, antimalware, antivirus and ant-phishing technologies along with PIN and firewall protection. Mobile security software providing companies offers products with outstanding features such as on-demand and scheduled scans, activity log, online management tools and parental-control monitoring which are mostly adopted by the enterprises.
The BYOD trend is causing new security concerns for data security and enterprise networks. Enterprises allows the employees to use their personal devices and access enterprise networks and data bypass security controls and demand higher security measures. The uncontrolled access opens doors for malicious activities, leakage of sensitive data and exposure to malware. The proliferation and ever increasing demand of smart devices and BYOD trend is increasing concerns for enterprise data security. Mobile application management and mobile data protection enables the IT (enterprises) to manage and block specific types of apps based on categories. The mobile device authentication is the most emerging security software and is adopted by individual users along with the enterprises. The security software providing companies are bringing innovative solutions that works effectively on almost all the operating systems. The open source software application would again drive the market for the mobile security software. Adoption rate of mobile security software in North American countries is higher than the developing countries. Eventually, the mobile security software market should also mark a notable presence in the Asia-Pacific market.

Q: New point of view: pip dealing with multiple Python versions, Canopy, Anaconda on Linux Using pip with different Python version is a common problem, as I see when I search the Internet. There are a lot of answers around, also in this forum. However nobody seems to encounter the same problem that I have:
I use Canopy python most and it was installed first. Later I installed Anaconda. Now when I try to install a program with pip it always install it in Canopy (or refuse to install it because it is already installed in Canopy.
for example:
$ pip install ipython
gives:
Requirement already satisfied...
but there are no ipython in my Anaconda-folder, it is in the /Enthought/Canopy_64bit/... folder
How can I overcome this problem?
Both versions are 2.7 and even if one is 2.7.11 and the other 2.7.12, it did not work to distinguish between the two by this.

A: Maybe you can try the following.
Find where both pip-s reside (whereis pip, I have it on ~/anaconda2/bin), then cd to the pip directory of the python version you want, and execute it from there.

A: I manage with the help of J. Corson comment:
When you want to use a particular Python installation, activate the desired environment. In my chase
source /home/per/anaconda_ete/bin/activate

then using pip made the installation in the anaconda python and I could install ipython and other stuff there... fine, thanks!

Police warn about tax scam calls
By Sean WetselaarStaff Reporter
Sun., Dec. 21, 2014timer2 min. read
It was an ordinary Monday morning for Lori Torrance when the phone rang at her Scarborough home at about 8:30 a.m.
An unknown woman identified herself as an employee of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). She claimed Torrance owed upwards of $20-30,000 due to "inconsistencies" in her previous years' tax returns. Torrance was told that if she did not address the issue, a warrant would be issued for her arrest.
A worried Torrance was transferred to a man who said he would "settle" her account for $1,720. After being transferred back to the first woman, Torrance was told she could pay only in cash and that an agent would visit her home.
At this point Torrance hung up. "I thought, 'I don't want to talk about this, this is just too outrageous,' " she said.
Torrance knew the call was a scam — especially after being told they would settle her account in cash. But the experience left her rattled. "The only thing that did worry me is they have my address," she said. "When they know where you live, that was alarming."
Toronto police Det.-Const. Jackie Trimble previously worked in the fraud unit and confirmed that what Torrance experienced is not consistent with CRA operations. "The Canadian Revenue Agency doesn't call on the phone. They don't ask you to forward money like that," she said. (In particular, threatening to have victims arrested is far removed from the way the CRA operates.)
It is difficult to say who was behind the call to Torrance, but police were involved in an investigation into a similar network last year. Police say that network largely targeted recent immigrants, who may have been more susceptible due to concerns that poor credit could affect their citizenship.
Police were never able to apprehend anyone involved in the initial wave of calls, and similar cases resurfaced during the summer, police say.
Trimble said police get reports of scamming here and there throughout the year, but become "swamped" around tax season. "A lot of people don't report it because they are ashamed."
Police advise anyone concerned about a potential scam, to call police anytime they feel unsure, and to seek further advice before sending money to anyone they don't know. The CRA itself is aware of such scams and has detailed information on its website about avoiding fraud.
Torrance now knows there is no risk of being arrested, but remains shaken by the incident. "I feel violated that somebody's calling me from — everybody's scared of Canada Revenue Agency," she said.
"But I think the big one is (they know) where I live. If they didn't know I wouldn't be kind of looking out the window all the time."

This document describes the Communications Plan for OGC Testbed 10. The plan includes a defined OGC approach as well as policies and procedures for effective communications among selected organizations, participants, sponsors, and the OGC Interoperability Program (IP) Staff.
Each organization, regardless of any teaming arrangement, shall provide a designated Point of Contact (POC) who will be available for scheduled communications about OGC Testbed 10status. That POC shall identify alternatives that will support the designated POC as needed. The designated and alternative POCs shall provide contact information including their e-mail addresses and phone numbers. All proposals shall include a statement or documentation of their understanding, acceptance, and handling of the communications plan.
OGC will designate technical Team Leaders for activities in each thread. The Team Leaders shall work with IP Initiative Management, responsible participants, and the sponsors to ensure that OGC Testbed 10 tasks/activities are properly assigned and executed. The team leader is accountable for activity and schedule control and team communication. They must also raise issues of concern rapidly and proactively on schedule slippage, resource issues to OGC's management assigned for OGC Testbed 10 Initiative.
The need for groups of participants to communicate/discuss and resolve ongoing definitional and development issues and related solutions.
) for non-technical communication, plus lists for each thread for technical discussions.
PLEASE NOTE: the email reflectors are not intended for exchanging files with others. The portal should be used for uploading of files, followed by notification to the rest of the team.
A procedure for arranging, announcing, and executing teleconferences.
The OGC IP staff will provide regular (monthly) progress reports on OGC Testbed 10 to the sponsors. To do this, participants must submit technical and business progress reports by the 10th of each month, as detailed in Annex A, section 5.3.1.
The purpose of the monthly business report is to provide the Initiative Manager, Financial Officer, and IP Executive Director with a quick indicator of the project health, from each Participant's perspective.
Each Thread Architect consolidates their thread's monthly technical reports to send to the Initiative Manager by the 15th of each month. The Initiative Manager then consolidates these into the progress reports submitted to the sponsors by the 20th of each month. The OGC IP staff and the sponsors also provide status reports about the program to the OGC Technical Committee and the OGC Planning Committee as feasible and appropriate. At those times the participants may present interface designs and other reports to the TC and PC.
OGC IP staff will review action item status on a weekly basis with Team Leads and participants that are responsible for the completion of those actions. Action item status reports will be posted to the OGC Testbed 10 web sites each week. Email will be used to notify Team Leads and responsible parties of pending actions for a given week.
This section outlines the Principles of Conduct that shall govern personal and public interactions in any OGC activity. The Principles recognize the diversity of OGC process participants, emphasize the value of mutual respect, and stress the broad applicability of our work. A separate section of the Policies and Procedures details consequences that may occur if the Principles of Conduct are violated.
The work of the OGC relies on cooperation among a broad cultural diversity of peoples, ideas, and communication styles. The Principles for Conduct guide our interactions as we work together to develop multiple, interoperable technologies for the Internet. All OGC process participants aim to abide by these Principles as we build consensus in person, at OGC meetings, in teleconferences, and in e-mail. If conflicts arise, they are resolved according to the procedures outlined in the OGC TC and IP Policies and Procedures.
1. OGC process participants extend respect and courtesy to their colleagues at all times.
OGC process participants come from diverse origins and backgrounds and are equipped with multiple capabilities and ideals. Participants in related tasks are often employed by competing organizations. Regardless of these individual differences, participants treat their colleagues with respect as persons--especially when it is difficult to agree with them. Seeing from another's point of view is often revealing, even when it fails to be compelling.
English is the de facto language of the OGC process, but it is not the native language of many OGC process participants. Native English speakers are requested to speak clearly and a bit slowly, and to limit the use of slang in order to facilitate the comprehension of all listeners.
2. OGC process participants develop and test ideas impartially, without finding fault with the colleague proposing the idea.
We dispute ideas by using reasoned argument, rather than through intimidation or ad homonym attack. Or, said in a somewhat more consensus-like way: "Less heat and more light."
3. OGC process participants think globally, devising solutions that meet the needs of diverse technical and operational environments.
The goal of the OGC is to maintain and enhance a working, viable, scalable, global set of interfaces and protocols that provide a framework for interoperability in the geospatial domain. Many of the problems we encounter are genuinely very difficult. OGC participants use their best engineering judgment to find the best solution for the whole domain of geospatial interoperability, not just the best solution for any particular network, technology, vendor, or user. We follow the intellectual property Principles outlined in http://www.opengeospatial.org/legal/.
4. Individuals who attend OGC facilitated meetings are prepared to contribute to the ongoing work of the membership and the organization.
OGC participants who attend OGC meetings read the relevant Pending Documents, RFCs, and e-mail archives beforehand, in order to familiarize themselves with the technology under discussion. This may represent a challenge for newcomers, as e-mail archives can be difficult to locate and search and it may not be easy to trace the history of longstanding Working Group, Revision Working Group, SIG, Standard Working Group, Domain Working Group or Initiative debates. With that in mind, newcomers who attend OGC meetings are encouraged to observe and absorb whatever material they can, but should not interfere with the ongoing process of the group. OGC meetings run on a very limited time schedule, and are not intended for the education of individuals. The work of the group will continue on the mailing list, and many questions would be better expressed on the list in the months that follow.
5. It is expected that many of the participants working on related tasks are from competing organizations. To preserve and sustain our productive environment in which ideas are discussed openly, and all participants' viewpoints are respected, it is imperative that participants refrain from using OGC resources (mail lists, portal, twiki, teleconferences, etc.) for commercial messages favoring any particular products, business models, or ideology.
OGC acknowledges the work done by the IETF on a code of conduct (specifically RFC 3184). These principles of conduct are modeled on their work.

French LiteratureInternational Literature
In this entrancing story of spiritual adventure, a Westerner in Peking seeks the mystery at the heart of the Forbidden City. He takes as a tutor in Chinese the young Belgian René Leys, who claims to be in the know about strange goings-on in the Imperial Palace: love affairs, family quarrels, conspiracies that threaten the very existence of the empire. But whether truth-teller or trickster, the elusive and ever-charming René presents his increasingly dazzled disciple with a visionary glimpse of "an essential palace built upon the most magnificent foundations."by Victor Segalen, translated from the French by J.A. Underwood
Segalen actively sought to invent new modes of writing, transgressing established boundaries and bringing the exigencies of style to bear on the complex reality he perceived by dint of his various guises as ethnographer, musicologist, doctor, archaeologist, sinologist and poet.... Staging a shadow-play between the real and the imaginary, Segalen's brilliant Rene Leys is at once an epistemological fiction, a roman-a-clef, a meta-fictional meditation and an exercise in auto-fiction.
— The Times Literary Supplement
Allegorical in nature, Rene Leys probes the frustrations of man's inability to grasp the unknown with all the energy of a thriller.
Victor Segalen belongs to that French-speaking tribe of modern literary nomads that includes Rimbaud, Pierre Loti, Blaise Cendrars, Henri Michaux, and Michel Leiris.... New York Review Books is to be commended for having saved [this book] from oblivion.... Rene Leys, whose journal entries run from February to November 1911, is very much a novel about this hiatus in Chinese history, an allegory of a timeless imperial tradition in its death throes and of a revolutionary modernity slouching to be born.

It is critical for any flex circuit design to be free of errors and violations in order to get the application to market as fast as possible without unnecessary delay. To help designers avoid common IPC PCB design standards violations in rigid-flex PCBs, this blog post will discuss three of the most common IPC Association Connecting Electronics Industries design violations.
In order to meet IPC design standard 2223C, the design must callout for a flex core that is adhesiveless. There are two types of materials that are used throughout the flex industry and they differ as to how the copper is attached to the core.
Older generation material known as "adhesive based" consists of a layer of adhesive which is used to bond the external copper with the flex core creating a sandwich effect. A two-layer construction would consist of copper, layer of adhesive, layer of polyimide, another layer of adhesive, and the last layer of copper. The newer generation material is referred to as being adhesiveless. With this material the copper is attached directly to the polyimide core, there is no adhesive. Visually it would appear as copper, polyimide, copper.
The reason why the new material meets the rigid flex PCB design standard versus the older material is because the adhesive has a very high coefficient of thermal expansion. If you take an adhesive based core and drill the vias through the rigid sections they also pass through the flex core. During the assembly process and operation of the finished part afterwards, the adhesive will expand and contract as the part heats up and cools down. This places a lot of stress on the plating of the vias to the point where the copper in the vias will start to work harden, becomes brittle, and it eventually cracks. The result of this causes an intermittent open. Sometimes the circuit will separate enough to create a complete open and at other times it could contract, creating a connection.
In the late 90's and early 00's, as designs became more complex, the industry as a whole began to recognize that there was an increase in intermittent cracked via opens. It was determined that the issue was a direct result of the adhesive in the older generation flex core. This ultimately led to the development of adhesiveless material which is proven to eliminate the issue.
Polyimide coverlays are laminated onto the surface of the flex layers to encapsulate the circuitry and serve the same purpose as solder masks do to rigid boards. The coverlay is laminated to the flex circuit with the same adhesive used in the older generation material.
There are some older construction methods where the coverlay is applied across the entire flex circuit layer which results in the coverlay being included within the rigid sections. This creates the identical issue of the high coefficient of thermal expansion leading to experiencing the encounter of cracking of vias.
The correct IPC approved method is to apply the coverlays selectively, (also referred to as a "Bikini build" construction) applying only to the exposed flexible areas of the design. This eliminates all adhesives from within the rigid area and prevents the formation of via or PTH plating cracks.
Issues arise when vias are located within a rigid section(s) closely adjacent to the line where the flex sections extend out from within the rigid areas.
The portion of the outline of the rigid section to where the flex section meets is known as the flex transition line. With the correct IPC Selective coverlay construction the coverlay does however have to engage into the rigid section by a small distance so that it can be trapped and it will have a full seal with no gaps or any discontinuities.
This distance is typically between .025" and .030". It will vary slightly due to manufacturing and material tolerances.
Vias have a keep out area in relation to the flex transition line. Designs should not have plated vias close to the transition line. Having a via or PTH too close could result in catching the coverlay and again creating a plating reliability issue. IPC recommends a minimum distance of between 0.050" and 0.100" where we suggest .050" from the edge of the plated through hole to the flex transition zone.
An accelerated reliability/performance assessment test was developed called the Interconnect Stress Test (IST) and incorporated into IPC TM-650 Test Methods. IST testing of a rigid flex circuit board design with any of the non-approved issues mentioned above will result in a failed test and is a strong indicator of both at assembly and long term reliability issues. Following IPC 2223C recommendations will ensure the highest degree of reliability.
The best opportunity for success is for both the manufacturer and customer to work together as early as possible in the design phase. At this stage we can assist in evaluating the mechanical configuration of the circuit board design, where the flex areas will be located, and the layer count(s) required. We can then provide a preliminary stack-up which will specifically identify to the customer the adhesiveless flex core, the selective flex only area coverlay, and graphically define restricted areas for via / PTH placement that are adjacent to the flex transition zone. Having done all this, the process is often streamlined without major complications. All flex and rigid-flex designs are carefully created to avoid violations that do not meet IPC PCB design standards.

Q: What is the difference between + and +=? available_items = {"health potion": 10, "cake of the cure": 5, "green elixir": 20, "strength sandwich": 25, "stamina grains": 15, "power stew": 30}
health_points = 20

health_points += available_items.pop("stamina grains", 0)

print(health_points += available_items.pop("stamina grains", 0))  # <-- this does not work, but works with +

In the example above, if I use +=, I cannot add a print() in front of it.
I get an error when I try to add a print() to it, but when I change it to +, it works with print().
Could someone explain it?

A: You can not print an operation to a screen. You can print results of operations. For example, if you want to print the result of this operation (health_points += available_items.pop("stamina grains", 0)) , you have to write print(health_points). Otherwise if you want to write operation as a string for user, you have to write it under quotation marks like that print("health_points += available_items.pop("stamina grains", 0)"), or like that print("health_points"+"=", (available_items.pop("stamina grains", 0)), sep='')

A: Unlike C or Java, in Python += is not an operator and can't be used within an expression.
So you can only use it by itself.

Cannes - Shannyn Sossamon has been signed to play iconic Irish architect Eileen Gray in the movie The Price of Desire by filmmaker Mary McGuckian (Man on the Train, The Bridge of San Luis Rey) from EG Film Productions Limited, LIghtstream Pictures and Saga Film. Hawaiian born Sossamon (A Knight's Tale and 40 Days and 40 Nights), will play opposite charming and exotic looking Swiss leading actor Vincent Perez as Le Corbusier, while Alanis Morissette, actress and multiple Grammy-winning singer/songwriter has been cast as Gray's lover French singer and actress Marisa Damia.
Sossamon's recently twitted "Happy about this surprising adventure," referring to her leading role in the movie. The story focuses on the relationship between Eileen Gray (Sossamon) and the famous Swiss/French architect Le Corbusier (Perez) and how their connection to each other as well as with the site on which she built the first modern villa E1027 in Roquebrune Cap Martin, influenced and inspired a century of modern architecture. According to Mary McGuckian, it is a single character narrative done from a female perspective as well as an art film that the recent Pompidou retrospective on her work makes it suitable. She added that anybody who has an interest in modern architecture and design or the impact of creative women in society would certainly be attracted to this film. It is shooting on location at the Villa E1027 and Vezelay in France as well as in studio in Belgium where many of the Parisian interiors will be recreated. Director Mary McGuckian explains her film process is guided by the spirit of Eileen Gray, simple, streamlined and elegant and her goal is to give something back to her. McGuckian added that the architect's right to be recognized as one of the most influential designers of the modern era may no longer be in dispute, but the insidious chauvinism to which her legacy was subjected in her lifetime is a salutary tale to all visual artists of the female gender.

A1.2.4.1	Carbon Cycle
Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the Universe. Most of Earth's carbon (about 65,500 billion metric tons) is stored in rocks. The rest is in the ocean, atmosphere, plants, soil, and fossil fuels.
The carbon cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms in existence rotate. It involves the earth's atmosphere, fossil fuels, the oceans, vegetation and the soils of the earth's terrestrial ecosystem.
Source: http://thoughtsonglobalwarming.blogspot.com/2007/02/factsheet.html
The carbon cycle is sometimes thought of as a series of carbon reservoirs, where carbon may move from one to another (figures are in billion tonnes of carbon):
Marine sediments and sedimentary rocks (66,000 000 – 100,000 000)
Deep oceans (40,000)
Surface oceans (1,000)
Vegetation (540-610)
Soils and organic matter (1,600)
Coal (3,000)
Oil, gas (300)
Atmosphere (750)
At a glance we can see that the amount of carbon stored in sedimentary rocks and the deep oceans is enormous and far greater than that stored in the atmosphere or in the earth's vegetation. These large reservoirs of carbon are stable and long-term.
In contrast, the atmospheric reservoir of carbon is less stable. Different processes (such as photosynthesis, respiration and the absorption and release of carbon by the oceans) operate to cycle carbon between the atmosphere, biosphere and oceans. Processes that release carbon into the atmosphere are called sources (e.g. respiration), while those that remove carbon from the atmosphere are called sinks (e.g., photosynthesis). This exchange of carbon between the different reservoirs is simply called 'the carbon cycle'.
Source: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov
Carbon flows between each reservoir in an exchange called the carbon cycle, which has slow and fast components. Any change in the cycle that shifts carbon out of one reservoir puts more carbon in the other reservoirs. Changes that put carbon gases into the atmosphere result in warmer temperatures on Earth.
During the carbon cycle plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it, combined with water from the soil, to make the substances they need for growth during photosynthesis. This process incorporates the carbon atoms from carbon dioxide into sugars. Animals then eat the plants and use the carbon to build their own tissues. The animals return the carbon dioxide into the air when they breathe and then when they die, carbon is returned to the soil during decomposition. The carbon atoms in the soil may then be used in a new plant.
Over the long term, the carbon cycle seems to maintain a balance that prevents all of Earth's carbon from entering the atmosphere (as is the case on Venus) or from being stored entirely in rocks. This balance helps keep Earth's temperature relatively stable, like a thermostat.
Carbon enters the atmosphere through:
Respiration when animals breathe out Carbon Dioxide.
Carbon is taken out of the atmosphere by:
Plants and algae through photosynthesis.
Two key processes involved in the carbon cycle are:
Photosynthesis.
Combustion.
