Well, we asked ourselves the same question before we visit Amsterdam. The first instinct is why not right? Everything seems to be included in the pass and it should be a no brainer to get the card. There are so many things to do in Amsterdam.
However, we asked ourselves again the same question after looking at the tag that comes along 1,2,3 & 4 days for €59, €74, €87 and €98 respectively. Since we will be in Amsterdam for 4 days 3 nights should we be getting the €84 pass?
So, What's included in the pass?
& What's not included in the pass?
In summary, I Amsterdam pass is worth the money if you are planning to visit at least 3 museums/gallery a day and interested to take the canal ride. Also, it is worth noting that some museums operates from 0900 - 1900. Queuing up to enter takes time and up 1- 2 hr.
If you are not a museum goer like us, you will be better off with transportation pass, individual museum tickets and most importantly – Flexibility to do whatever you want and not restricted by the "Pass".

Trading and Strategic Update
Source: CentralNic, March 7, 2017
CentralNic Group PLC (AIM: CNIC), the internet platform business which derives revenues from the global sale of domain names and associated services, provides the following Trading and Strategic Update. The 2016 trading performance in this statement is based on unaudited initial management estimates.
2016 Trading Update
In 2016 the Company continued to grow while increasing recurring revenues:
Group Revenue increased by more than 110% to £22.1 million (2015: £10.4 million)
Recurring/subscription revenues1 increased to circa 80% of overall revenues (2015: 67%)
Adjusted EBITDA2 increased by over 65% to £5.5 million (2015: £3.3 million)
Net Cash at the end of the year was £7.3 million
1 Recurring / subscription revenues include revenues from domain registration, domain renewals and other recurring revenues.
2 Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, acquisition and non-recurring fees and non-cash charges.
2017 Current Trading
The Board is confident in meeting market expectations for the 2017 year:
Trading at this early stage of the year is in line with plan, and business development initiatives are advancing
The Group has good exposure to the new TLDs – the fastest-growing category of domain names. The total number of domains using new TLDs rose from 11 million at the beginning of 2016 to over 27 million by the beginning of 2017. CentralNic is the number one new TLD service provider with market share by volume currently around 32% (2015: 20%)
Increased renewal revenues from new TLDs are expected in 2017, as the base of domains due to renew or expire has increased to almost 10 million domains in the wholesale business (2016: 3.3 million) and circa 1.3 million in the retail business (2016: 0.7 million)
The Chinese market accounts for circa 60% of all new Top-Level Domain sales globally. CentralNic is the leading non-domestic wholesale provider of new TLDs into China, and China's Ministry for Industry and Information Technology recently accredited .xyz, .site, .ink and .design, all wholesaled exclusively by CentralNic. The accreditation permits use of domains with these endings for websites and email addresses in China.
New TLD launches in 2017 include .fun, .realty, .observer, and .art. In addition to the .fun and .art contract wins last year, there is a further pipeline of new TLDs in the process of contracting to migrate to the CentralNic platform
Initial renewal rates for .xyz and other new TLDs launched over the last 2 years are encouraging
The Company has appointed the former Commercial Operations Director and former Marketing Director of Group NBT (Netnames) to lead revenue growth initiatives.
CentralNic has proven its ability to grow both revenues and Adjusted EBITDA from £3.1m and £1.0m respectively in 2013 to £22.1m and £5.5m in 2016, achieving circa 80% recurring / subscription revenues in 2016. CentralNic's strategy has focussed on increasing its scale and scope of operations and on acquisitions, which along with premium domain sales have underpinned its growth in total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and recurring revenues. The strategy includes:
Developing and operating scalable software platforms to serve global markets with domain names and related services
Identifying and exploiting relatively high growth areas of the domain industry, including taking a leading role in new Top-Level Domains, servicing country code domains and focussing on growth markets such as China
Winning and retaining well-resourced partners with complementary objectives
Executing acquisition transactions that meet clear strategic criteria including being earnings accretive in the short term with a strong recurring revenues base.
CentralNic's objective is join the ranks of world leaders in its industry (which include a number of multi-billion-dollar companies) as the new TLDs it distributes expand to challenge the incumbent domain name endings, and China and other emerging markets grow to rival the size of the North American and European markets.
CentralNic strives to achieve this goal through continuing to disrupt existing markets and by identifying and exploiting growth markets around the world.
Moreover there is consolidation in the domain services industry which present step-change acquisition opportunities for CentralNic to enter new markets and broaden its service offerings.
CentralNic CEO Ben Crawford said:
"Following the rapid scaling up of our operations in 2016, we have made a pleasing start to 2017. We have additional sales resources, new licences to help grow our business in China, new TLDs launching and opportunities to sell software licenses and enterprise services.
With support from our investors, we look forward to continuing the evolution of our business in 2017, scaling up to meet the demand for domain name services as it grows globally."

This online searchable Directory of Airplanes is a continuation and extention of a publication "The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Directory of Airplanes: their Designers and Manufacturers (ISBN: 1-85367-276-9). Edited by Dana Bell, the book is an attempt to create a single authoritative listing of aircraft names organized by designer or manufacturer. The Library of Congress has assigned the Directory the cataloging code, �smda� to be used in MARC records by catalogers.
This listing grew from a National Air and Space Museum (NASM) effort to process and describe the Aircraft Reference Files in the Museum's Archives Division. Although we recognize that the 34,000 aircraft and 6600 companies and designers featured here do not constitute a complete listing of aircraft types, we still hope that our efforts will prove useful to other museums and archives, historians, authors, publishers and enthusiasts.
This online version of the directory allows you to search airplane entries by model and manufacturer in their full or partial names. See and See also cross references are provided to assist users to find entries more easily. The retrieved models are grouped by its designer or manufacturers on display. Many model and manufacturer names contained history notes for additional information. Just click on Note icon to display them.
Please note that this Directory has focused only on human-carrying, heavier-than-air vehicles that are supported primarily by dynamic lift. This includes airplanes, gliders, hang gliders, helicopters, autogiros and ornithopters. Thus, the Directory does not include lighter-than-air aircraft (such as balloons and dirigibles), missiles, rockets, spacecraft, and any aircraft designed to fly as a drone, remotely piloted vehicle (RPV), or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

China says it will step up counterterrorism measures in response to last week's attacks in Paris. A statement from the country's Ministry of Public Security said the attacks could be part of a pattern that might be repeated elsewhere, and therefore "China must be on high alert to combat terrorism," state media reported.
China has already stepped up security precautions this year and drafted a tough new anti-terror law, following a series of attacks by Islamic separatists from northwest China's Xinjiang region. Thirty-one people were killed and more than 100 injured in a knife attack at a railway station in the southwestern city of Kunming in March 2014, while another 39 were killed at a market in Xinjiang's capital Urumqi in May last year. And this weekend China's police confirmed an attack on a coalmine in Xinjiang's Aksu region in September, in which 50 people are reported to have died, and another 50 were injured.
Xi said there is a particular need to "address both the symptoms and root causes" of such attacks and there should be "no double standards" in international efforts. Foreign Minister Wang Yi echoed these remarks, and specifically called for the international community to target what China says is the main Xinjiang terrorist group, the East Turkestan Independence Movement (ETIM). This is a key concern for Beijing, which says that ETIM is responsible for many recent attacks in China. However, though the organization was listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. in 2002, it is no longer included on the State Department's main list of Foreign Terror Organizations.
The location of the G-20 meeting also holds its ironies — since China this year accused Turkey of facilitating the movement of Xinjiang activists to join the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, in the Middle East, and of interfering in Chinese attempts to repatriate such people. There were also protests at the Chinese consulate and a Chinese restaurant in Istanbul over reports that China had banned many Muslims in Xinjiang from observing Ramadan — something Beijing denied.
Experts quoted by Chinese media said China was "facing the same threats from IS as France, and must prepare for similar terror attacks," and should "improve emergency mechanisms to prevent similar fatal attacks." Major cities have tightened security, with X-ray checks on luggage at rail and subway stations and airports — but experts said vigilance needed to be tightened in smaller cities too.

On the fantasy that you are in charge of your own survival
Linda Besner April 26, 2018 share
Image: By Jake Reid for Real Life.
The video has the feel of college roommates pulling a prank. "Holy cow that's cold!" Jessi Coombs says, as the water rises over her ankles. "It's coming in, it's right around my feet."
Coombs is sitting behind the wheel of a red four-door — it's just been dropped from a crane and is sinking rapidly into a quarry. "My heart is definitely beating," she tells the camera mounted on the dash. Water rushes into the car. It's preternaturally quiet. No screaming, no thrashing, just the occasional nervous laugh as the water bubbles up around Coombs' chest, still cinched by her seatbelt.
The disaster infotainment video genre swerves between public service, spectacle, and nightmare visualization aid
When the water reaches her chin, she takes a deep breath. Once the car fills entirely with frothing water — she's been waiting for the pressure inside and outside the car to equalize — we see her pushing at the door; a new camera angle shows us the submerged car from the outside, her small white palms pressing desperately against the window glass. The car door resists her for a heart-stopping moment, then gives way; Coombs swims out and breaks the surface to a surge of music invoking sunrise, dolphins, and the triumph of the human spirit.
Coombs is the co-host of a YouTube series called The List, an infotainment adventure show about cars, and this is episode 147: "How to Escape A Car Underwater." Sitting safely at my desk, watching my computer screen positioned between a thermos of tea, a rangy cyclamen, and a pile of mail, my body believed I was in the sinking car with Coombs — I gasped for air, realizing that I had been holding my breath. The disaster infotainment video genre walks a zigzag line, swerving between public service, spectacle, and nightmare visualization aid. It packages together the paranoid's obsessive catastrophization with the star-pupil's faith in the all-conquering power of doing as we're told.
The idea that tsunamis, shark attacks, explosions, parachute malfunctions, and plane crashes can all be outsmarted with a few simple tips fantasizes a world in which information — and the thinking human animal — can solve any problem. The fragility of our bodies can surely be overcome by the superior power of our minds. The series Epic How-To dramatizes how to fend off a lion attack, outwit a hitman, rise from a buried coffin, fight a bear, and survive a shipwreck — all in the most awesome-bro way possible. Bright Side, an aggregator specializing in optimism, offers an endearing cartoon on how to survive a free-falling elevator. In 1945, lift operator Betty Lou Oliver fell 79 stories down the Empire State building; she lived to foxtrot another day, and so can you!
The most escapist of these scenarios invite us to imagine ourselves as action heroes, inhabiting a dream in which physical pain can't intrude
Most of us will never need to best a lion in hand-to-hand combat. The most escapist of these scenarios invite us to imagine ourselves as action heroes, inhabiting a dream in which physical pain can't intrude. Danger is entertainment, and getting into a fight with a bear is like an extreme snowboarding trick. The amorality of nature — the fact that fire will burn us and water drown us without stopping to ask our names or consider how much talent or love we have to give — doesn't compute. We tend to believe the world was created for our self-actualization. So how can individual merit fail to save us?
A nation premised on a myth of bootstrap meritocracy can't help but fall back on a misplaced faith in individual responsibility in the face of collective catastrophe caused by systemic failure. In 1951, the U.S. Civil Defense agency, in cooperation with public schools in New York, produced a film about a cartoon turtle named Bert. A female doo-wop group sings the watchwords the film is named for: Duck and Cover. Remember, a smooth baritone chides, the bomb might explode when there are no grownups around — you'll have to take care of yourself. A teacher points to the blackboard, on which she's written out the two types of nuclear attacks: "with warning," and "without warning." Rows of students nod intelligently. Communism will be no match for the all-American child.
Today's decentralized equivalent is the spool of online disaster infotainment videos by news outlets and security experts, all with variations on the same title: "How to Survive a Mass Shooting." The difference is that the disaster has happened, is happening, will happen. The advice and the drills are not theoretical, and there is very little consolation on offer. Run, hide, barricade the door. If the worst comes, attack the shooter with shoes, pencils, and your bare hands. Or meet this eminently avoidable catastrophe with your ace card: Pretend you are already dead.
Ultimately, series like The List are guilty of creating a risk all their own: death by misinformation. A 2017 article in the journal Cogent Engineering explains, "In most vehicle submersion scenarios, the only way to survive is to exit through the side windows, which need to be opened or broken within about one minute of the vehicle impacting the water." Anyone who waits calmly the two to four minutes it will take for the water to rise over their head will almost certainly die. The study's authors, a joint engineering and kinesiology team, are working on a mechanism that could save lives: an automatically triggered window-opening system. "If occupants do not know, or forget, what to do, the open window could hopefully prompt them to exit safely through that window," the study concludes. Our best hope of surviving disaster may be in designing solutions that don't depend on human presence of mind.

Bread is biblically the first food that has been fed to humankind. Within this present creation, bread part of every meal or snack interval. It leaves the consumer a gut filled with carbs and protein that provide power to our body. For bread produces a wonderful breakfast jointly with butter, milk and eggs, the pursuit for longer bread types is endless. More variations are introduced jointly with Panera bread recipes without any exclusion.
Families love savoring some bits of bread especially for breakfast. Toasted with butter, jam, mayonnaise or peanut butter, any plain bread might incorporate tastiness when served fresh from the oven. When bread is topped with vegetables and meat, it becomes tastier and meatier. One of those fascinating Panera bread recipes are that the Overnight Brunch Casserole Panera Bread.
In Panera bread recipes like Overnight Brunch Casserole, you might need eight pieces of one-inch five smashed eggs, two cups, and two tablespoons of softened butter, 1 and 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tsp of dry mustard, three green onions should be chopped, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. You will also demand a collection of one pound of bacon, ham or sausage that is either cooked or crumbled. One-third cup of chopped broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, lettuce or peppers can add a twist in your bread.
To get your Panera bread recipes have the taste you can't resist, you need to follow recipe procedures. To start with, you need to put butter out of you skillet, then add the bread cubes indoors. This is will most likely be followed closely by integrating grated meat and chopped vegetables, then them. Conquer your own eggs, half and half, and then add dry mustard and salt. You can now throw over your bread mixture and cover it completely. When covering the skilletyou need to use a plastic wrap. Afterwards, it is possible to save the bread mixture at a really low temperature immediately. When cleaning your sourdough, you need to place your oven to 350 degrees and leave them for 45 minutes. When you discover them turning brown on top, then your Overnight Brunch Casserole is prepared to be served.

Google recently bought Writely. I checked it out and its a rather good idea! Basically its your ordinary word processor program but available in your browser. The good thing is that it uses minimal resources from your computer and don't use up all your disk space just for the program. You can also save your documents on the net so you can easy access them from any computer. And as the website says: Can I ... upload from Word? YES! Can I ... save to my desktop? YES! Can I ... publish on the web? YES! Can I ... post on my blog? YES! Unfortunately Google have betafied it for the time being meaning that they dont allow any more users to register for the moment. Wonder if Microsoft and Word will get some tuff competition her?


The Mesothelioma Victims Center's top priority is seeing to it that navy or commercial shipyard workers with mesothelioma receives the very best financial compensation and to get it done we provide instant access to the nation's most capable lawyers.
The types of shipyard or maritime workers with mesothelioma the group is trying to identify and help include welders, machinists, mechanics, laborers, electricians, steamfitters, plumbers, insulators, and carpenters. Mesothelioma typically takes three to five decades to develop and the average age of a person with mesothelioma in the United States is about 72 years old. The shipyard worker the group is trying to assist was probably initially exposed to asbestos in the 1960s, 1970s or the 1980s.
Additionally, there are commercial shipyards in Western Washington, Oregon, California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Minnesota and Mississippi.
If the Mesothelioma Victims Center had one vital tip for a navy or commercial shipyard worker with confirmed mesothelioma it would be: "You will want to call us anytime at 800-714-0303 to ensure you have the chance to talk with one of the nation's leading mesothelioma lawyers. These extremely qualified mesothelioma legal experts can be game changers when it comes to financial compensation.
For a Department of Labor website regarding shipyard workers please review their website on this topic: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/shipyard/standard/index_se.html.
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. High-risk work groups for exposure to asbestos include Veterans of the US Navy, power plant workers, shipyard workers, oil refinery workers, steel mill workers, miners, pulp or paper mill workers, printers, factory workers, railroad workers, plumbers, millwrights, boiler technicians, electricians, auto mechanics, machinists, welders, pipefitters, insulators, firemen and construction workers. In most instances a person who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma was exposed to asbestos in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, or 1980's.

Re: If I had a Free Two Months...

in reply to If I had a Free Two Months...
I'd try to organize something like Community Wizard, financial watchdog software for the government sector, that Hamilton Technology had going on in the late 1990s before the department of justice confiscated it and destroyed the backup tapes.
"Fitts recalls how, back in days after she cleaned up Irangate, BCCI and HUD fraud scandals, the one thing that gave her the most hope for cleaning up government was emerging technology, particularly the Internet. Prior to the mid-1990's, being a government watchdog was impossibly difficult, so... Hamilton Securities, created a computer program called Community Wizard which gave the user powerful capabilities of assessing and vetting all kinds of financial data on government and corporate business, all in an easily understood format....
Community Wizard was a data wonk's dream, until 1997 when Department of Justice agents destroyed Fitts' office and computer files and left her with nothing. However, Fitts knows Community Wizard can be recreated and, like the proverbial phoenix, the Solari Network will rise in its place."
Grow the economy, save the world, and put some bounds on the financial fraud epidemic the United States is having.
UPDATE: For starters, this might be an enhancement to an existing wiki system, to incorporate markup that would allow spreadsheet formula-like functionality -- collaborative accounting with version controlling. I know, I know. Yeah right. Oh yeah? Why not.
For seconds, I might try refactoring sql-ledger with the strictures and a sane html templating system, and use this as a basis for another way to foster distributed accounting and try to steer some direction towards open source accounting systems, which currently are quite disappointing unfortunately. See (OT) Perl Open Source accounting packages? where lemming observed, pretty much, Accounting packages can be thought of as source control with money.
For thirds, I would tie the above in with cyclos, in my opinion the best, but still not entirely satisfactory (need to do more research on this) open source community currency tool. (Note: Cyclos is in java, not perl, IIRC.) And into the mix, nbarter, an idea I'm toying with for multidirectional barter, kind of like friendster with a virtual currency function.
Toward a new community wizard
Regarding problems with cyclos, my last notes from beyond money has something about "What needs to be done: Rewrite Strohalm's Cyclos open source software so that it matches the GSX specifications, specifically fixing major security holes, enabling intersystem trading and allowing businesses with multiple offices Price Dual card readers and related equipment." I am not sure if this has been "fixed," but this is the last thing I was looking into.
UPDATE 2: Twiki, done in perl, already has spreadsheet-like functionality, I discovered after checking around. Now, is it robust enough to do this kind of thing? I'm playing around with it to try and find out.
UPDATE 3: I was just kicked off the solari forum, for reasons I won't go into here; long story. The above "towards a new community wizard" link, which is really where it all started, now shows "guest" for all my posts, which were previously marked tphyahoo. Ouch
I still think the path I outlined is a good one, and continue to look into it, although it appears doing this as a joint venture with solari folks is now an avenue I will have to abandon. Despite being kicked off the forum, and uneasiness with some aspects of the "solari universe" I encourage everyone interested in this sort of thing to learn about what catherine fitts and the others associated with the project are doing.

Office and SharePoint Get New App Model
Microsoft has a new app model for SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013 that's designed to minimize the problems of third-party apps. Much like browser add-ins can destabilize the browser, apps that run against Office and SharePoint can disrupt performance.
The new model addresses that with a sandbox kind of approach. It's not a sandbox, per se, but when installed on a server the apps run separately. They can also be separated on the cloud.
Despite the distance, they appear to be running closely together.
IT and end users also get more insight into app quality through the "Office Store." Here users rate what they use -- so if it stinks, you'll get a heads up. The Office Store also gives IT control. It's not really a store so much as a controlled warehouse where you can check out apps. This means IT, through Active Directory, can block off the Store so users can't download willy-nilly.

Google Slights XP Users
IE 8 is not exactly a legacy browser. It is what I used alongside Firefox until very recently. And if you are on XP, which is a supported OS until 2014, IE is the most modern Microsoft browser allowed.
So why is Google ditching support for the browser in November after IE 10 and Windows 8 ship? That is what Google is doing by refusing to support Google Apps for Business on IE 8 starting in two months. The fact that Google can pre-announce such a move tells me there is no technical reason not to support IE 8. The browser hasn't changed. It does pretty much what every other browser does.
This is all about maneuvering. To me it's a way to get XP users over to Chrome, or at the least off of IE and onto Firefox.
Looks like Google snuck a few peeks at the old Microsoft playbook.

Doug's Mailbag: Public Disclosure of Flaws
Are security firms doing us a favor by letting us know about vulnerabilities? Or does the practice only give uninformed hackers another tool to attack us? Here's what some readers have to say:
I completely agree with you here. Rapid7 is acting in the best interests of the hackers by publicizing this before a fix is in place. Working in IT for the last 20 years has taught me that no matter how tight your security is, there is always a hole. I used to ask pupils at a school I worked at to actively try and hack the network (Novell Netware and Windows 95) in return for letting me know where the holes were. This earned such enterprising individuals extra credit and a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Not to mention my gratitude. If they had let all the other kids know before giving me chance to plug any gaping holes, there would have been chaos.
Rapid7 is an idiot, in my opinion
.-Roy
Well Barney, I must agree with you. TOTALLY irresponsible to broadcast specifics of a flaw to everyone on the face of the planet. It just enables the hackers that didn't already know about it to go about exploiting the vulnerability before the fix is available.
It would be like the news media reporting on how many U.S. troops are being deployed to which country and how many U.S. ships are being deployed to which body of water and...oh wait, that's being done too.
In a day and age when the media cares more about a 'hot' story than they do about national security why should we expect them to sit on IE flaws?
Geesh, what a wonderful world we live in, eh?
The reasons are quite simple why these are publically disclosed.
One, it gets your firms name out there. Two, it puts pressure on software designers to hurry and create a patch. And three, as a security firm it generates more income as new clients will want testing done to see if they are affected.
Who would pay top dollar for testing on an issue that already has a patch successfully deployed? Also who better to test for a flaw than the ones who reported it in the first place?
It's morally bad. But from a business mentality, what's bad for you is always good for the corporations. If you want a business to survive in times like these you MUST be ruthless and throw morals to the side. Your competition will not give you any slack. So why should you give them any?
All in all I don't blame them for doing it. I just don't agree with the ethics behind it.

Exchange 2013 Discussion Points
Microsoft recently tried to stoke the fires for Exchange 2013 by talking up some key new features and product strategy. If you are an old-school IT pro, you're probably most interested in the built-in malware protection. This is nice, but this is not the same as a dedicated security tool. My guess is we are talking real baseline protection without aggressive updates of virus signatures and such.
Classic IT thinkers may also appreciate support for 8-terabyte disks. Heck, with that kind of storage I could turn my spam filter off and just let it fly.
More modern items include better discovery for those that need to care about compliance, including the ability to reach out to Lync and SharePoint.
If you are a fan of server roles, there are only two you can invoke: mailbox and client access.
Much of what's new points to the future. The Outlook client is more touch-friendly with the addition of thumb controls. Outlook is also more social with deep Facebook and LinkedIn hooks, and can bring in newsfeeds and weather (you didn't want to concentrate when composing e-mails, did you?)
What do you want to see in the next rev of Exchange? Shoot me a line at dbarney@redmondmag.com.
Redmond Tax Dodge
Months ago Google was roundly beaten for avoiding massive amounts of U.S. taxes. The trick, as I recall, is to claim your investment and expenses in America and book your profits overseas.
Under this approach Google pays something less than 2.5 percent, a fair bit less than the 35 percent U.S. corporate tax rate. It's all perfectly legal, and the short-term PR black eye is a small price to pay for savings billions every year. And some of that money goes back into the economy in the form of lobbyist fees and campaign donations!
Microsoft, as a shareholder-owned company, likewise does all it can to maximize profits. And this means the company parks 89 percent of its cash overseas.
However, unlike Google, Microsoft seems to pay its fair share, and last year paid a rate of 24 percent.
Tax thoughts welcome at dbarney@redmondmag.com.
Loving Lync?
In April of last year I published a story about Microsoft Unified Communications.
This was soon after Lync came out. I was expecting hear good things, but not much more. Let's face it, UC has less sex appeal than Chris Christie and Harry Reid put together.
Boy was I wrong. Microsoft UC can be a game changer. Sure, you can save gobs of money through VoIP and downsizing legacy telecom infrastructure, but Lync lets you do new things and at the same time do old things in new ways. It's really about integration with common productivity apps and adding things like IM, presence, and Web and video conferencing.
I reckon it's time to give it a fresh look once again and I'm looking for your help. Are you using Microsoft UC or tools from another vendor? If so, shoot me an e-mail at dbarney@redmondmag.com and I'll be in touch.
Microsoft Gets Overtly Political
Microsoft has a small bit of egg on its face after an employee who mans the company Twitter stream posted a message critical of Ann Coulter, arguing that Robert Reich's granddaughter is smarter than the blonde Cornell grad. The two were to speak on a panel together, prompting this message (because it was written in Twitter speak I had to read it twice to understand it): "@RBReich your granddaughter's level of discourse and policy > those of Ann Coulter."
I guess this is the Internet equivalent of hitting "send all."

Windows Server 2012 Wows IT
IT is wowed by things that would bore an ordinary user. Most folks wouldn't know what to do with a server set up with server roles, and the common heart surely wouldn't race at the mention of storage deduplication. But IT folks aren't ordinary folks. Instead of flashy this and fancy that, you tend to care about features that get things done. And here Windows 2012 delivers.
Now the Enterprise Strategy Group agrees, or at least its survey does. In it 90 percent say they will roll out the Windows Server 2012 within two years.
While there are a lot of PowerShell and other IT goodies, it is large categories of function that are driving upgrades. More than half are hopped up about virtualization, and almost half can't wait to get their hands on its news private cloud capabilities, the survey finds.
What is your view of Windows Server 2012? My inbox awaits at dbarney@redmondmag.com.
Microsoft Fixes IE Problem Pronto
Recently we talked about an IE elevation of privilege flaw that was publicized by a "security" company before the flaw was fixed. I put security in quote markets because I can't for the life of me see how security is enhanced when hackers are told how to attack our machines, and without giving the vendor a chance to glue up a patch.
Many of you agreed, as seen here.
Microsoft fortunately was able to fix this flaw fast and rushed out an out-of-band patch today. I guess this "security" firm can pat itself on the back for making Microsoft hop to, but this disclosure still left all IE users vulnerable for about a week. Your moms must be proud.
Trust me, this next observation has zero political content. I was looking at the "security" company's management roster to see if I knew anyone, then clicked on the Board of Directors. Two of the members are from Bain Capital. Just an observation. My guess is that Rapid7 investors might not be fans of publicizing open holes, especially given the reaction I see from IT pros (and more especially in an election year).
On another note with no political ax to grind, did you hear that Mitt Romney tried to hire Steve Ballmer when Steve was fresh out of Harvard? It's true.
What should real security companies do when they find a flaw? Wise and cogent answers welcome if you've got 'em at dbarney@redmondmag.com.
Sophos Flags Itself
Sophos users thought they were protected for another cycle after updating their antivirus cycle. So why, they wondered, were security warnings going off like in the end of a James Bond movie?
It seems that Sophos suddenly thought its own software was malware.
For one machine, this is a nuisance. When you are an admin and you are getting alerts from hundreds of presumably infected computers, that's a nightmare.
Sophos is bending over backwards to apologize and has already updated the update to stop the false alarms.
I put this in the honest mistake category. Am I in too good a mood, or does Sophos really deserve a pass on this one? You tell me at dbarney@redmondmag.com.
IE Flaw Found and Exploited
A newly found IE zero-day flaw has been found, publicized and is now being exploited. And this is not the kind of story I like to report.
In walking through this news, I'm hoping you'll help me understand the logic and report back to me and the tens of thousands of Redmond Report readers by writing to dbarney@redmondmag.com.
On Monday Rapid7, a security firm, wasted no time in telling the world that IE 9 and a number of earlier versions had a flaw that impacted XP, Vista and Win 7. The attacks trick a user into clicking on a malicious Web site, giving the attacker access to elevated privileges.
Of course now hackers are exploiting the flaw which Microsoft, given the short notice, hasn't had time to fix.
Why on earth do security firms publicize flaws before they are fixed? To me this is totally irresponsible.
Tell me where I'm wrong or more likely right at dbarney@redmondmag.com. In the meantime, if I get hacked this way, I'll blame Rapid7.

Windows Phone 8 So Very Close
The iPhone 5 is close to shipping, driving Apple stock to an all-time high -- and I think it's an unsustainable high (although the P/E ratio of around 16 isn't as out of line as I thought it would be).
With far less fanfare, Windows Phone 8 is also imminent, having gained release-to-manufacturing status. I guess it takes about six weeks for OEMs to turn these things around. The launch date is now expected to be Oct 29, with shipments soon after.
I still hear good things about the phone, but I think the real movement will come from enterprise customers who may see tight integration with corporate apps, and some aggressive moves by OEMs such as Nokia making us offers we can't refuse.
Do you see a Win 8 phone in your future, perhaps tying it into Lync? Mail me at dbarney@redmondmag.com.

\section{Theory}

The general workflow is illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:method}.
For the adsorbed phase,
one first computes the absolute chemical potential at a certain low loading, using a combination of thermodynamic integration and free energy perturbation (TIFEP),
and then determines the chemical potentials at other concentrations using the S0 method.
For the pure phase, the same approach applies,
although sometimes one can compute $\mu(c)$ directly starting from the dilute limit using the S0 method or TI.
In what follows we describe each step of the workflow.

\begin{comment}
\begin{itemize}
    \item Chemical potential for pure fluid at different concentrations, computed using S0
    \item Chemical potential for adsorbed fluid computed using S0
    \item adsorption energy at different loading computed using a combination of TI and FEP, by reversibly switching from a non-interacting ghost molecule and the rest to a fully-interacting system.
\end{itemize}
\end{comment}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{fig1.png}
\caption{
The thermodynamic framework for computing the absolute chemical potential of adsorbed or confined fluid.
The TIFEP method for calculating the excess chemical potential at concentration $c_0$ is shown by the
purple and blue arrows:
first use FEP to add $\epsilon$ fraction of a molecule,
and then reversibly switching this fraction of a molecule to a fully-interacting one in TI.
Black arrow indicates using S0 method to compute the chemical potential at different concentrations $c$.
}
\label{fig:method}
\end{figure}

\paragraph{\textbf{Absolute chemical potential}}
The absolute chemical potential, $\mu$, is defined as the free energy difference between a particle that is fully-interacting with its surroundings and an isolated particle.
The $\mu$ at a certain particle concentration, $c$, can be split into an ideal and an excess part:
\begin{equation}
    \mu = \mu_{id}(c) + \mu_{ex},
\end{equation}
where the ideal part can be analytically expressed as $\mu_{id}(c) =\mu_0 + k_{\rm B} T \ln(c/c_0)$ for large systems.
To determine $\mu_{ex}$,
one can use the conventional particle insertion method for certain cases,
but the TIFEP approach (the purple and the blue arrows in Fig.~\ref{fig:method}) is more robust and statistically efficient.
The TI is performed along a reversible path between the physical system and a reference system over a switching parameter $\lambda$~\cite{frenkel1984new,cheng2018computing}.
The parameterized Hamiltonian is
\begin{equation}
    \mathcal{H}(\lambda)=(1-\lambda)\mathcal{H}_{no-inter}+\lambda \mathcal{H}
\end{equation}
where $\mathcal{H}$ is the actual Hamiltonian, and $\mathcal{H}_{no-inter}$ is for the reference system with no interaction between one ghost molecule and the rest of the system.
In $\mathcal{H}_{no-inter}$, the intramolecular energy and forces of the ghost molecule, and all the interactions between the rest of the system stay the same as $\mathcal{H}$.
The excess free energy of the extra molecule can then be evaluated using
\begin{equation}
  \mu^{ex}=\int_0^1 d \lambda
  \avg{U-U_{no-inter}}_{\lambda},
  \label{eq:ti-l}
\end{equation}
where $\avg{\ldots}_{\lambda}$ denotes the ensemble average over NVT or NPT simulations using the Hamiltonian $H(\lambda)$.
However, the integrand in Eqn.~\eqref{eq:ti-l} is divergent at $\lambda=0$,
because when the ghost molecule and the rest of the system are not interacting at all, the atoms can overlap and cause extremely large energy differences $U-U_{no-inter}$.
This problematic bit is indicated by the blue dashed arrow in Fig.~\ref{fig:method}.
To circumvent this issue, one can perform free energy perturbation (FEP) at the end point (purple arrow in Fig.~\ref{fig:method}), i.e.
\begin{equation}
    \Delta \mu_\epsilon^{ex} =
    - k_B T\ln\avg{
    \exp\left[-\dfrac{\epsilon(U-U_{no-inter})}{k_B T}\right]}_{\lambda=0},
    \label{eq:gcut}
\end{equation}
where $\epsilon$ is a small number, which we typically set to about 0.05 though it can be flexible.
In principle, one can also evaluate $\Delta \mu_\epsilon^{ex}$ with $H(\epsilon)$ using a backward FEP,
but this is less statistically efficient
because in the exponential average of the backward FEP low-occurrence outliers will yield extremely large contributions~\cite{cheng2014direct}.
The excess chemical potential is thus
\begin{equation}
  \mu^{ex}=\Delta \mu_\epsilon^{ex} + \int_\epsilon^1 d \lambda
  \avg{U-U_{no-inter}}_{\lambda}.
  \label{eq:tifep}
\end{equation}

\paragraph{\textbf{Concentration-dependent $\mu$ }}

One can use the S0 method to compute the concentration dependency in $\mu$,
as schematically shown by the black arrow in Fig.~\ref{fig:method}.
To extend the S0 method in Ref.~\cite{Cheng2022computing} to a fluid that is adsorbed or confined in a porous medium that is without frozen long-range disorder,
there are two views:
The first view is to regard the fluid and the medium as two components,
and the latter component is an immobile single molecule with zero associated density fluctuations.
The second view is to only analyze the density fluctuations of the fluid, while treating the medium as a background that only provides an external potential energy field.
The two views result in the same thermodynamic relations,
and here we focus on the second one and introduce the single-component formulation of the S0 method.

For a single-component system, or a single-component system adsorbed in a homogeneous material without arrested defects,
the particle number fluctuations in the grand-canonical ensemble (constant-$\mu$VT) are related to the chemical potential by
\begin{equation}
        \dfrac{\avg{(N-\avg{N})^2}_{\mu VT}}{\avg{N}_{\mu V T}} =
        \dfrac{k_{\rm B} T}{\avg{N}} \left( \dfrac{\partial \avg{N}}{\partial \mu}\right)_{V,T}.
        \label{eq:fluc-1}
\end{equation}
The structure factor is related to the particle number fluctuations via
\begin{equation}
    S^0 \equiv \lim_{\ensuremath{\textbf{k}} \rightarrow 0} S(\ensuremath{\textbf{k}}) =
    \dfrac{\avg{(N-\avg{N})^2}_{\mu VT}}{\avg{N}_{\mu V T}},
    \label{eq:fluc-s}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
        S(\ensuremath{\textbf{k}}) = \dfrac{1}{N}\avg{\widetilde{\rho}(\ensuremath{\textbf{k}},t)\widetilde{\rho}(-\ensuremath{\textbf{k}},t)},
\end{equation}
with
\begin{equation}
\widetilde{\rho}(\ensuremath{\textbf{k}},t) =
\int_V d\ensuremath{\textbf{r}} \rho(\ensuremath{\textbf{r}},t) \exp(i \ensuremath{\textbf{k}} \cdot \ensuremath{\textbf{r}})
= \sum_{i=1}^{N} \exp(i \ensuremath{\textbf{k}} \cdot \ensuremath{\textbf{r}}_{i}(t)).
\label{eq:rhokt}
\end{equation}
In practice, one can compute $S(\ensuremath{\textbf{k}})$ at small $\ensuremath{\textbf{k}}$ from NVT or NPT MD simulations, and extrapolate to the $\ensuremath{\textbf{k}} \rightarrow 0$ case to get $S^0$~\cite{Cheng2022computing}.

Taking the molar concentration as $c=N/V = \avg{N}_{\mu V T}/V$,
and
combining Eqn.~\eqref{eq:fluc-1} with Eqn.~\eqref{eq:fluc-s}, one gets
\begin{equation}
    \left(\frac {\partial \mu}{\partial c}\right)_{T}
    =\dfrac{k_BT}{c S^0}.
    \label{eq:mu-s}
\end{equation}
Importantly, Eqn.~\eqref{eq:mu-s} works across phase transitions and the coexistence region for large systems:
if the overall $c$ of the system is in between the molar concentrations of two coexisting phases,
both phases will appear simultaneously with macroscopic phase boundaries,
which will cause $S^0$ to diverge so $\frac {\partial \mu}{\partial c}$ under coexistence will be correctly predicted to vanish.

As the key equation of the method, one can obtain $\mu(c)$ using numerical integration with respect to $c$:
\begin{equation}
    \mu(c) = \mu(c_0) + k_{\rm B} T \ln(\dfrac{c}{c^0})
    + k_{\rm B} T \int_{\ln c^0 }^{\ln c} d \ln(c)
   \left[ \dfrac{1}{S^0} -1 \right].
    \label{eq:S-integral}
\end{equation}
Notice that a change of the variable $y=\ln(c)$ is done to
reduce the numerical errors in the integration.

Eqn.~\eqref{eq:S-integral} and Eqn.~\eqref{eq:tifep} can then be combined to obtain the chemical potentials of the adsorbed or pure fluids.
Moreover, for a pure fluid,
 $S^0$ also determines the pressure via
\begin{equation}
    \left(\frac {\partial P}{\partial c}\right)_{T}
    = \dfrac{k_BT}{S^0},
    \label{eq:P-S0}
\end{equation}
which becomes the ideal gas law $P=ck_B T$ when $S^0=1$.
Eqn.~\eqref{eq:P-S0} can be useful when the equation of state (EOS) is difficult to compute directly.
Furthermore, from $\dfrac{\partial\mu}{\partial c} \dfrac{\partial c}{\partial P}$ it is easy to verify that
\begin{equation}
    \left(\frac {\partial \mu}{\partial P}\right)_{T}
    = \dfrac{1}{c},
    \label{eq:ti-P}
\end{equation}
which is a useful relationship for computing the $\mu$ of pure liquids using thermodynamic integration along isotherm.
However, unlike the S0 route, Eqn.~\eqref{eq:ti-P} is not applicable to systems with ill-defined pressures, or across phase transitions.

\section{Results}

We first validate our method on argon adsorption in MOF-5 at 370~K,
since a number of free energy methods, such as TI, FEP and coexistence simulations, work for this monoatomic gas at high $T$ and allow a benchmark.
Indeed, as detailed in the SI, all methods including S0-TIFEP give consistent results.
We then showcase our method on
the two systems shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:systems}:
carbon dioxide in MOF-5,
and water in single-walled CNTs.

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=0.49\textwidth]{fig2.pdf}
\caption{
Systems of study:
carbon dioxide in MOF-5 (\figLabelCapt{a}),
and
water in a single-walled CNT (\figLabelCapt{b}).
}
\label{fig:systems}
\end{figure}

\paragraph{\textbf{Carbon dioxide in MOF-5}}

The archetypical MOF-5 (or IRMOF-1)~\cite{yaghi1999MOF5} is formed by a Zn$_4$O inorganic building unit, connected by the ditopic terephthalate linker in an octahedral fashion.
Its interaction with gas has been intensively studied both experimentally and theoretically~\cite{RevMOFAds_Zhou2009,RevMOFads_Snurr2012,RevMOFAds_Yaghi2013,zhou2012introduction,sumida2012carbon}, particularly for the adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO$_2$)~\cite{Walton2007}.

We simulated CO$_2$ in MOF-5 and gas-phase CO$_2$ at 218~K and 300~K using the fully flexible, first-principles-derived forcefield MOF-FF~\cite{PSSB2013MOFFF,Keupp2021FD}. Details on the forcefield parametrization and benchmarks can be found in the SI.
We first computed the absolute $\mu$ for infinitely-dilute CO$_2$ in MOF-5 using the TIFEP method,
by switching from a fully-interacting MOF-5 and one CO$_2$ molecule system to a reference state that has the MOF-5 and a non-interacting ghost CO$_2$ molecule,
using a $1\times1\times1$ MOF-5 cell.
We ran independent simulations on a dense grid of $\lambda$, with $\epsilon=0.01$.
Crucially, a combination of a stochastic velocity rescaling thermostat~\cite{Bussi2007} and a weak local Langevin thermostat was used,
to ensure sufficient equilibration of the ghost molecule.

We then computed the concentration dependence of the
chemical potentials for CO$_2$ in MOF-5 as well as for the gas phase CO$_2$ using the S0 method.
We performed LAMMPS~\cite{Plimpton1995} NPT simulations at 1~bar for a $6\times6\times6$ supercell of
 MOF-5 loaded with different amounts of CO$_2$, and NVT simulations of the pure carbon dioxide gas with a similar cell size at a range of $c$.
We used a timestep of 1 fs, since the resulting S0 is consistent with the ones at a smaller time step of 0.1 fs.

    \label{fig:mof5-co2}
\end{figure}

To determine the EOS for the gas CO$_2$,
we used
Eqn.~\eqref{eq:P-S0} employing S0,
which is efficient and insensitive to the timestep,
as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:mof5-co2}a.
Alternatively, one can take the average $P$ in the NVT simulations,
but for CO$_2$ this has caveats:
the intramolecular bonds are quite stiff and a tiny time step is needed to properly integrate the equation of motion, because the coupling between the van der Waals interactions and the bonds is so weak that it is difficult to equilibrate the latter properly.
One thus has to use a small timestep of 0.1~fs, and again use a combination of a stochastic velocity rescaling thermostat~\cite{Bussi2007} and a weak local Langevin thermostat.
Overall, the EOS of gas CO$_2$ at low concentrations is rather close to the ideal gas state.

The chemical potentials for the pure and the adsorbed carbon dioxide are plotted in Fig.~\ref{fig:mof5-co2}b.
For the pure gas, the S0 results (blue dashed curve) agree well with the TI along isotherm (Eqn.~\eqref{eq:ti-P}).
For CO$_2$ in MOF-5, we performed additional independent TIFEP calculations at higher concentrations (hollow symbols),
which agree well with the values obtained using S0 together with TIFEP at the dilute concentration (red dashed curves).

To compute the absolute adsorption
isotherm, one relates the concentrations of bulk and adsorbed carbon dioxide that correspond to the same absolute $\mu$
and plots the adsorbed concentration against the pressure of the bulk phase.
In Fig.~\ref{fig:mof5-co2}c the equilibrium concentrations of CO$_2$ adsorbed in MOF-5 at 218~K and 300~K are plotted as a function of the pressure of the gas reservoir.
MOF-5 can adsorb a large amount of carbon dioxide.
 %
As the pressure increases, the material becomes saturated and the capability of carbon dioxide adsorption decreases. For both temperatures we observe an inflection and a type V isotherm,
which is more pronounced at the lower temperature.
The same type V was observed previously experimentally and in grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations~\cite{Walton2007}.
A type V isotherm is usually considered to be quite rare in microporous adsorption.
Our simulated isotherms well-capture
the overall shape of the
experimental curves at both temperatures,
although the simulated curve at 300~K is slightly higher which may be attributed to the defect-free MOF-5 in simulations or the forcefield assumed.
Differences between our results and the previous GCMC isotherms~\cite{Walton2007} may be due to the different forcefields since they used a rigid MOF-5 with the TraPPE potential for CO$_2$~\cite{TraPPE_CO2}.

\paragraph{\textbf{Water in CNTs}}

Carbon nanotubes have unique physical and chemical properties,
and in particular, their capacity to store or convey water~\cite{alexiadis2008molecular}.
We performed simulations for (8:8) and (12:12) single-walled CNT and water using a simple mW model~\cite{molinero2009water} at 273~K and 500~K,
with the parameterization same as the graphitic and water system in Ref.~\cite{davies2021routes}.
Note that the forcefields for CNT-water are a controversial topic~\cite{alexiadis2008molecular,werder2003water}, and we do not intend to provide a definitive picture for this complex system, but only to demonstrate our methodology.

The TIFEP part was computed from small systems, and the S0 was performed on large systems, as described in the SI.
For water in CNT, $S^0$ was evaluated from $S(\ensuremath{\textbf{k}})$ with $\ensuremath{\textbf{k}}$ parallel to the direction of the CNT.
Here, the $c$ was defined by the total number of water molecules and the entire volume enclosed by the radius of the CNT.
One can define $c$ differently to consider the volume occupied by the carbon atoms at the wall,
but this will only introduce a constant scaling factor, $\alpha c$, with $\alpha$ close to 1.
Eqn.~\eqref{eq:mu-s} indicates that the scaling $\alpha$ does not affect the values of $\mu$.

\end{figure}

For pure water with $\rho$ less than about 1~g/mL, CNT(12:12)-water with $\rho$ less than about 0.6~g/mL, and CNT(8:8)-water with $\rho$ less than about 0.6~g/mL, the systems show liquid-vapor coexistence.
At these conditions, the presence of the interfaces has an influence on the pressure via the Laplace equation~\cite{marchio2018pressure}, making the actual pressure difficult to compute.
Moreover, pressure is not well-defined for nanoconfined fluids as sizes and stress tensors along the small dimensions are ambiguous~\cite{varnik2000molecular,Shi2023}.
These make it problematic to obtain $\mu$ using TI along isotherms (Eqn.~\eqref{eq:ti-P}).
In contrast, the S0 method has no problem handling coexistence: $S^0$ approaches infinity, giving zero $\frac {\partial P}{\partial c}$ and zero $\frac {\partial \mu}{\partial c}$ for coexistence systems.
The nanoconfinement is taken into account by only analyzing $S^0$ along the unconfined dimension.

The chemical potentials for bulk and confined water are plotted in Fig.~\ref{fig:cnt12-water}a.
The values obtained using S0 together with TIFEP at a low concentration (dashed curves) agree well
with independent TIFEP at higher concentrations (hollow symbols).
For systems in the liquid-vapor coexistence region, $\mu$ is constant,
showing the capability of the S0 method to cross phase boundaries.
At low concentrations, bulk water has lower $\mu$ than confined water,
but the confined water has a slower chemical potential increase and becomes more thermodynamically favorable at higher densities.
Bulk water exhibits a solid-liquid phase transition at about 1.2 g/ML at 273~K and 1.5 g/mL at 500~K in the MD simulations,
while such transitions are absent in the CNT-water.

The adsorption
isotherm is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:cnt12-water}b,
with the pressure of the bulk water plotted on the x-axis.
Note that the absorption isotherm here is based on the thermodynamic equilibrium argument,
which avoids the adsorption-desorption hysteresis loops in the direct simulations~\cite{Striolo2005}.
CNT~(8:8) has little water adsorption at zero pressure, followed by a steep increase of water intake around 0.5~GPa at both 273~K and 500~K.
Such adsorption behavior exhibits
the typical features of the type V adsorption isotherms,
and is in agreement with previous simulation results~\cite{Striolo2005}.
CNT~(12:12) follows a similar trend at 273~K, but with a lower threshold pressure of 0.25~GPa.
At high P of more than 10 GPa, the CNT~(8:8) is most efficient in adsorbing water.

\section{Conclusions}
Here we introduce a thermodynamic framework that treats the confined and adsorbed fluids on the same footing.
The framework computes the absolute chemical potentials, and determines the pressure in an efficient and unambiguous way.
We envisage
this S0-TIFEP method will be applied to many technologically important systems for which the chemical potentials of confined or adsorbed fluids can be useful:
Understanding the thermodynamics is key to explore the exotic phases of matter under confinement~\cite{kapil2022first,algara2015square};
The chemical potentials of molecules adsorbed in porous materials are crucial for the performance of fuel cells~\cite{wang2020porous},
gas storage and separation~\cite{gelb1999phase},
reactivity of fluids adsorbed in porous catalysts~\cite{slater2015function},
oil recovery systems~\cite{adebajo2003porous},
and environmental pollution management~\cite{liu2022metal}.

Harrison's insecurities catch up with him when finds another man, albeit alone, in his girlfriend's bed. Refusing to hear her explanation, he leaves her. His secretary then meddles in his affairs, effectively driving Maggie away with a vengeance. Upon discovering that woman's perfidy, Harrison tries to remedy the situation, and then finds out Maggie is pregnant! Determined to win her back, Harrison does his best to provide and care for her from a distance while trying to insinuate himself back into her life.
Hurt and bewildered, Maggie couldn't believe Harrison would stoop so low, but the evidence seems irrefutable. And now she's worried Harrison wants her only because she carries his child.
It's up to Maggie to teach Harrison his real worth.
Caleb Younger is certain he will never actually love any woman, having been badly burned in the past because of so-called love. He believes he's fond of Briana Jeffries, has intense sexual feelings for her, and wants her in his life, but doesn't love her.
Humiliated, when he says as much while amongst their friends, Briana finally accepts she's been fooling herself—Caleb will never love her. She leaves him to get on with her life.
His life now empty, Caleb faces the truth. He loves Briana more than anything, and resorts to everything to get her back. But Briana's friend doesn't want Briana hurt again and conspires to keep the two apart. A series of events and coincidences play out, giving Caleb the opportunity to beg Briana to take him back.
Harrison increased his grip on the steering wheel of his SUV to a stranglehold. It was the only thing keeping him from jumping out and grabbing Maggie, throwing her in the back seat, and driving off with her. Sanity prevailed, but it was a close call. He marveled again at how a slip of a woman had infiltrated his psyche and undermined his self-control, not to mention teaching him so much on the subject of himself. Before he'd gone and royally screwed things up.
She stood outside the doors of the office building with two of her friends. Even at a distance, he saw her energy and light while she conversed animatedly with Veronica and Joyce, although he'd noticed shadows beneath her eyes and a certain gauntness hollowing her cheeks whenever he'd been able to get closer to her.
Her blonde hair streamed around her shoulders in the gusty wind, and her dress was pulled tightly against her long, slender frame, molding her high breasts and the slight, swelling roundness of her belly. His baby was growing there.
Harrison was missing out on every wondrous day of that burgeoning life and the woman he desired and loved more than anything else in the world. Missing out because of his stupid masculine pride and ego.
He closed his eyes against the pain in his heart and the clenching of his gut. He didn't know what else he might do to make amends for his atrocious behavior, to regain Maggie's trust. Nothing. He had to accept that. He would do his best to care for her, provide for her and his child, but from a distance. He was his father's son, after all, and she deserved better, as did their child. He'd proven he had nothing to offer outside of the basics and the superficial because blood would tell. As would nature over nurture.
Tossing several items of clothing into her suitcase, Briana Jeffries then found a plastic makeup bag to stick a few toiletries in. It had taken a long time to accept the obvious but she'd finally accepted the fact Caleb wasn't going to miraculously profess his love for her. Tonight had been the kicker.
She ignored the ache in her chest and concentrated on packing the things she needed, not that there were a lot. No way was she going to think about what was true. Except she couldn't turn a blind eye. She loved Caleb and he didn't love her. There. She said it again and that made it true.
Swiping impatiently at the tears suddenly streaking her face, she zipped the bag closed, taking a final look around the bedroom she shared with the love of her life for nearly three years. Too bad she hadn't been the love of his. It was time to move on. Christina would be outside by now.
Hurrying down the stairs of the place she'd hoped would be her forever home, she steadfastly ignored all the little things she'd done to make it so, especially the plethora of pictures. The reflection of beautiful places and events, smiling, happy faces, pictures of her and Caleb, mocked her despite her best efforts not to look. Caleb must be blind not to see what they had between them, captured for the world to see, but apparently, it was her love that was blind. After throwing open the front door she hauled her case outside, barely avoiding the rebound of the heavy wooden panel as it slammed shut behind her, her keys now locked within. Final. No going back.

Phase 3 clinical trials have been announced for two drugs, Lonafarnib and Myrcludex (Bulevirtide) for the treatment of hepatitis B and delta coinfection.
Phase 3 studies compare new possible treatments to the current standard treatment, to see if it is more effective and/or safer than the current standard of care. Phase 3 studies are randomized control trials, which means that patients will be assigned to one of several different treatment groups. These studies usually evaluate the new treatment over a long period of time but special designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), such as Fast Track, Orphan Drug, Breakthrough Therapy Designations and PRIME eligibility status will speed up this process and bring these drugs to approval more quickly. Because the only currently approved treatment for hepatitis delta is pegylated interferon, which is often less than 30% effective, there is an unmet need for faster development of more treatment options.
Phase 3 clinical trials for Lonafarnib are currently recruiting hepatitis B and delta coinfected patients in the United States. Ninety-two international trial site locations have also been announced and will take place in Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Republic of Moldova, New Zealand, Pakistan, Romania, Span, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and Vietnam. This clinical trial, run by Eiger Biopharmaceuticals, will test the new drug Lonafarnib in combination with other treatments. For more information about the study, visit www.D-LIVRstudy.com or clinicaltrials.gov.
Bulevirtide, made by MYR-GmbH Pharmaceuticals, has also announced that its phase 3 clinical trials will be opening in 2019. Trial site locations have not been announced yet. For more information about this study, visit clinicaltrials.gov. Click here for more information on locating additional clinical trials. If you are considering joining a clinical trial, discussing it with your liver specialist can be helpful in determining if joining a trial may be right for you.
It is very important for hepatitis B and delta patients to be managed by a doctor, preferably a liver specialist, who is familiar with managing hepatitis B and delta coinfection. For assistance in locating a specialist near you, please visit our Physician Directory page. For additional questions, please visit www.hepdconnect.org or email connect@hepdconnect.org.
Genetic conditions can be an unfortunate part of life, but with information and support, some can be managed. By sharing your family health history and learning about genetic disorders that run in the family, measures can be taken to prevent damage and help your loved ones stay healthy!
called iron overload. Iron overload can cause complications in the liver, heart, and pancreas2. According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), hereditary hemochromatosis has several names that all refer to the same disorder: bronze diabetes, classic hemochromatosis, hemochromatosis type I, hemosiderosis, HFE-related hemochromatosis, HH, and primary hemochromatosis. The two non-hereditary forms of hemochromatosis are secondary hemochromatosis and neonatal hemochromatosis. Both are considered to be rare. Although the hereditary form is common, the exact number of patients worldwide is unknown. Globally, it is estimated that 1 in 227 individuals of Northern European descent is living with hemochromatosis. In the U.S, an estimated 1 million individuals are impacted as well 2.
Not everyone who has the mutant gene develops hemochromatosis. These individuals are known as "carriers"; they can pass the gene on without suffering from the symptoms. Symptoms include joint pain, fatigue, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and a bronze or grey skin color. For most patients, symptoms do not appear until middle age (40-60) because it takes time for the iron to build up in the body. Males tend to be affected more often than women and experience symptoms at a younger age as well 3,2. Some carriers for the mutant gene may develop a more severe version of the disorder called juvenile hemochromatosis. With juvenile hemochromatosis, patients experience an excessive amount of iron overload that can lead to liver and heart damage between the ages of 15 and 30.
While the body needs a certain amount of iron to function, iron overload can be dangerous. Hemochromatosis can lead to two major liver issues: hepatomegaly and cirrhosis. Hepatomegaly is the enlargement of the liver and cirrhosis is the scarring of the liver. Both issues can impair the liver's ability to function and filter out toxins that enter the body. They can also increase a person's risk of developing liver cancer. Recently, two major studies by the University of Exeter and the U.K. University of Connecticut, and the U.S. National Institute on Aging have found that a person living with hemochromatosis has four times the risk of developing a liver disease than a person who is living with the disorder.
Hepatitis B patients do not have an increased risk of developing hemochromatosis4. However, if you have any of the above risk factors, it is important to get tested. Hemochromatosis can easily be identified by a comprehensive look at a person's family health history, a physical exam, and a simple blood sample. Your doctor will then use the blood sample to run a series of tests that may include transferrin saturation (TS), serum ferritin, or liver function tests. In certain cases, the doctor may also perform genetic testing to see if the mutant HFE gene is present.
Treatment for hemochromatosis is available! Based up tests results, family history, medical history, and the appearance of symptoms, the doctor may suggest a few different treatment methods. In therapeutic phlebotomy – the most common treatment method – a patient undergoes regular blood draw to lower the amount of iron in the body. This method is effective, affordable, and typically lasts for an extended period of time. Through iron chelation therapy, patients can either receive an injection or orally consume a medication that will lower the amount of iron in your blood. Finally, some doctors may suggest changes to your diet, such as eating less vitamin C, avoiding alcohol and shellfish, and not taking iron supplements. Dietary changes are mainly used to prevent liver damage.

Where Can I Order Hepatitis D Testing?
The first step in diagnosing a hepatitis D infection is the HDV antibody total (anti-HDV) test. Patients who have recovered from or are currently infected with hepatitis D will be positive for the anti-HDV and will present high titers in later stages of acute infection and persist in cases of chronic infection. If the HDV antibody total test is positive, it should be followed by the HDV RNA (PCR) test to confirm an active infection. If this test is negative, a current infection is unlikely.
Testing hepatitis B patients for hepatitis D is important because when people with hepatitis B are exposed to the hepatitis D virus, 90% will develop a chronic hepatitis D infection1. Coinfection will alter treatment and management plans, because antivirals effective on hepatitis B do not control hepatitis D2. While the standard treatment of interferon is less than 30% effective in controlling coinfection, there are new drugs in development. With two of these drugs set to enter phase 3 clinical trials in 2019, it is more important than ever to identify coinfected patients and connect patients into clinical trials.
Until recently, only the anti-HDV test was widely available in the United States. In February 2019, Quest Diagnostics began offering HDV RNA testing, making it easier for patients and their physicians to access this more detailed level of testing. A complete list of labs offering hepatitis D testing is below.
Disclaimer: This may not be a comprehensive list of all available labs offering hepatitis D testing.
Please note, if you are a patient in the U.S. and wish to be tested for hepatitis D, these tests must be ordered through a clinician.
It is very important for hepatitis B and D patients to be managed by a liver specialist who is familiar with managing coinfected patients.

#ModaLisboa – One To Watch from the Sangue Novo section at the fashion fest in Portugal. Young designer Rita Sá unveiled her new collection last week in Lisbon. "If you have a glass ceiling, don´t throw rocks in the air" is the motto for the collection "Telhados de Vidro", which describes the game played by those who desperately try to be something they are not; masked hypocrites who feel the need of ostentation in a "make-believe" world. Attacking others for problems that they also have, the individuals who make the collection choose to believe that it is better to be a false somebody than a real nobody. All photos by Ugo Camera.
Forming a grading concept from the first to the last look, the collection presents its first individual who seems to be impervious to anything around him and not afraid of showing he is vulnerable or weak. The second individual is clearly uncomfortable with this idea and tries his best to show his superiority, even if it means trying to be someone who is not.
From this point on, every individual tries to impose his superiority upon his predecessor, trying hard to hide all his/her weaknesses in an illusion game where nothing is what it seems to be, manipulating the truth and revealing only what is pleasant to the eye.
However, what is shown has no real utility and therefore is essentially futile. As we continue, there seems to be a lot of difficulties in controlling the flamboyance created within these individuals and as a result, instead of matching the silhouettes continuous growth, they drop suddenly. New volumes are now supported by small details that still prevail and the vulnerabilities that were hidden until now are completely exposed. The blue colour in the collection references the use of plastic bags, creating the idea of something that is disposable.


Alzheimer's Support founded Movement for the Mind in 2011 and we now have five groups up and running in Wiltshire. The popular meetings combine gentle exercise, known to be enormously beneficial for people living with dementia, with reminiscence and plenty of social interaction. The groups are designed for people living with dementia and family carers to enjoy together.
Volunteers are essential to the smooth running of the groups. You'll be part of a small team who will get the room ready and clear away, take part alongside group members in a range of gentle exercises or dance, offer a friendly welcome, serve refreshments or chat to members during social time. A member of Alzheimer's Support staff is present at all groups, as well as the professional facilitator who leads the sessions.

U10 Boys Report from Lee
Mixed fortune in cold Leeds
The team got off to a bad start before even the first whistle was blown, Connor Lees attempted to make it to the match despite feeling unwell overnight but had to turn back after taking a turn for the worse and so we were down to 6.
The matches started earlier for Aiden , Joshua and Alex who help Chapeltown who were also short on players and they got off to winning ways after Aiden scored the only goal of the match.
Rotherham then got their matches under way against Thirsk A who were the strongest team in the league and they held their own well. Finishing off with a 1-1 draw, the goal coming from the usual source of Aiden. With a stand in player courtesy of Slazengers, the team came together well and, for the main part, they held their shape well.
Joseph was playing in his first tournament at Weetwood and settled into the team and showed good composure on the pitch and will fit nicely into the team.
Max and Joshua were quickly back into the action and this time playing against each other, Max for Slazengers and Joshua was in the net for Bradford, match finishing 2-1 in the favour of Bradford.
Rotherham were next up against Chapeltown and seemed to dominate possession but failed to capitalise on the chances they had. Joseph came as close as he ever will to scoring without getting a goal, a well taken shot at goal was saved by the keeper but the ball rolled slowly goal bound eventually stopping on the line. Chapeltown looked at the ball unsure if it was a goal or not before eventually clearing the line and the match finished 0-0.
Bradford was the next opposition for Rotherham and the team finished on the wrong end of a 1-0 result. The team had their chances, Aiden and Alex had a number of chances in the D but were unable to get the shot away, in part due to the good defensive work of Bradford . The match was theirs for the taking but they failed to play as a team, and some, made too many individual runs and paid the ultimate price when Bradford scored what proved to be the decisive goal.
Slazengers were the next opposition for the boys and they showed more of the potential they have. They began to move the ball around and work as a team and the rewards came through another Ward goal and they took the game 1-0. Archie had a great game running up and down the wing and was getting himself into great positions, always making himself available for the ball from our 16s making distribution from the back easy. Special thanks goes to Mason from Chapeltown who stood in for 3 matches and played brilliantly for us in the defence .
Our final match was against Ben Rhydding B and by now the cold weather had taken most of our subs home but thankfully Alex from Bradford stood in and helped us out. The match was hard fought and we showed the potential we have when we play as a team and there were some lovely 1-2s between Alex and Aiden and the boys gave Rhydding a game.
Unfortuately an excellent goal from Rhydding separated the two teams, and it was a gaol that Joshua could do nothing about. Max, who had played very well in defence all tournament, took a stick in the eye towards the end halting play and despite hard work by all the boys couldn't get back on level terms and it finished 1-0.
Joshua had another fantastic tournament in the net and made a number of crucial saves which is reflected in the fact that only 3 goals were scored past him. He showed great composure and his kicking was first rate, on a number of occasions this was able to turn a defensive move into one of attack for Rotherham .
Despite some games where the team work didn't come together as well as it can, they never stopped battling and they can all take great credit in the way they tackled back all day, and for some they played a number of games that day, but they remained committed to end.
The day finished in relegation for us but if they kick on from where the finished and work together as a team, passing and moving, then they will undoubtedly bounce straight back up.

Shelley High School is an institution for public education in the town of Shelley, Idaho. It is the city's only high school, and is nicknamed "the spud cellar" because of its unique mascot and resemblance to a potato cellar. The mascot, King Russet, is a Russet Burbank potato (the variety most commonly grown in the area) with a scepter and crown. The approximately 600 students, called Russets, receive two weeks of break in late September because some of them work in the local potato harvest.

The school has done well academically. For example, the 10th grade student body surpassed the state averages on the 2011 Idaho Standards Achievement Test in language, reading, and math. The class sizes (about 20 students per teacher) are a little above the state average of 18.

Shelley Senior High School has many sports teams including Basketball, Softball, Baseball, Football, Wrestling, Track, Golf, Cheer, and Soccer. Despite its small size, the high school has won several state football championships in its division, including the 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2013 championships. The school also has many clubs including FFA, Key Club, Drama, BPA, Speech & Debate, Art Club, and Aca Deca.

A notable graduate from this school was Curt Brinkman, a world record setting paraplegic athlete who in 1980 became the first person to win the Boston Marathon in a wheelchair, and went on to win five gold medals in the Paralympic Games. The park across the street from the high school is named in his honor.

Notable alumni

 Curt Brinkman, Paralympic athlete

Cadence® custom simulation technology delivers all the tools required for designing and verifying your analog/mixed-signal blocks. Simulating blocks has evolved since the days of op-amps and comparators. Consider a typical block such as a fractional-N PLL that has more devices than some traditional analog chips. For block-level design, the steady-state analysis provided by the Spectre® platform can be invaluable for evaluating the noise and transfer functions of blocks like dynamic comparators, time-to-digital converters, et cetera. Block-level verification includes long transient simulations to calibrate blocks, for example, VCO calibration. For blocks, transistor-level simulation is used for verification and it may require transient noise analysis to simulate the key parameters like phase noise. The Spectre Accelerated Parallel Simulator (APS) provides designers the fast, accurate, high-capacity transient analysis required for block-level simulation.
Leveraging custom design abstraction capabilities, Cadence chip-level simulation looks at all the blocks abstracted into a variety of languages combined with transistor-level blocks that converge on a whole design understanding. Cadence chip-level simulation solutions provide the large capacity and high performance required to ensure that a full chip is working as intended, regardless of how the blocks perform in aggregate.
Today's system-on-chip (SoC) designs integrate complex analog and digital blocks, requiring thorough testing and analysis of how analog and digital circuits interact and the influence they have on each other. Cadence mixed-signal simulation solution combines the industry-leading digital and analog circuit simulators: Xcelium® and Spectre, to provide designers and verification engineers superior performance and accuracy required for today's designs.
With the Spectre platform, you have tools with a common infrastructure, advanced simulation database, versatile front-end parser, and a robust device library. Through integration with our Virtuoso®, Allegro®, and Innovus® solutions, the Spectre tools deliver comprehensive design and verification.
