And now we have the first two steps, so we have our template file, and we're registering that template file in our hook_theme function. The last part is actually using the template. So, the way we do this, is by passing it as a theme parameter into a render array, and that would either be returned as part of something that is expected from an API, or we could pass it directly to Drupal render, to render it right there.
In our case we are dealing with a block, and if we look at the build method here, what we are doing at the bottom is generating a render array, and returning that. So we can just plug into here, and define the theme here. Ok, I'm going to close this out down here.
So, we can use this theme by changing this from, mark up to theme, and then the value here to trails list. Ok, and this is the name that we established, in our trails. module file, right here as the unique identifier.

Home/Libya/WHO alarmed over rapidly escalating rates of COVID-19 in Libya
WHO alarmed over rapidly escalating rates of COVID-19 in Libya
The World Health Organizations (WHO) says it is alarmed over the rapidly escalating rates of COVID-19 in Libya.
Over the past 2 weeks, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Libya has more than doubled. Given the acute shortages of tests and laboratory capacity, the real number of cases is likely to be much higher.
Community transmission has been reported in some of the country's main cities, including Tripoli and Sebha. Compounding the situation, Libya's health care system has been badly disrupted by years of conflict.
Approximately 50% of primary health care facilities are closed. In those that remain open, health care staff are working long hours to care for COVID-19 and other patients, including providing children with immunization services, which have been adversely affected by the ongoing conflict and aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first half of August 2020, at least 8 health care staff in the south of the country tested positive for COVID-19.
"We are alarmed at the rapid spread of the virus in the country," said Elizabeth Hoff, WHO Representative in Libya. "While the number of new cases has increased dramatically, contact tracing remains difficult. The stigma associated with COVID-19 is so great that infected people are reluctant to come forward for health care and unwilling to disclose the names of others with whom they have been in close contact. We are in a vicious cycle. The virus is spreading because infected people and their contacts are lost, preventing follow up. The ever greater numbers of infected patients are placing a huge strain on the health system, which is already unable to cope with normal workloads."
WHO said it is supporting the efforts of Libyan authorities to increase the number of COVID-19 tests. Testing is essential to detect the virus and treat those infected. It can also help protect vulnerable close contacts, such as elderly family members or those with pre-existing conditions, and prevent them getting infected.
The WHO country office in Libya is working closely with UNICEF to destigmatize COVID-19 and explain that the virus can affect anyone, anywhere. WHO and UNICEF are developing messages to describe the simple, effective measures that people can take to protect themselves against the disease.
Africa was left out of Biden's first press conference of 2022
President Biden holds first formal press conference of 2022 but no African reporter credentialed to attend
"Understandably, there is always a lot of uncertainty around new viruses", said Ms Hoff. "However, COVID-19 is a manageable disease, not a death sentence. The world is going to have to learn to live with this virus for some time. WHO is providing close technical guidance and advice to the Libyan authorities in their efforts to test, track and treat COVID-19 and halt its further spread."
WHO has requested US$ 22.3 million to respond to COVID-19 in Libya. Thus far, it has received just over US$ 2.3 million in signed contributions.

Q: Circular flow diagram with labels The code snippet is from Zarko's code from this question. I am additionally looking for labelled arrows, however the labels appear exactly on arrow, is there a way to make them outside the circle?

Characterized by their unique creamy white color, belugas have an extensive vocal repertoire and have long been called the "sea canary" by seamen who heard their myriad sounds. Communicative and emotive calls can be divided into whistles and pulsed calls. As many as 50 call types have been recognized.
Much smaller than many of their cousins, beluga whales average only 12 feet in length and weigh about 3,000 pounds. They have relatively small heads, tails and flippers, and lack dorsal fins. Their prominent dorsal ridge can be used to break through thin sea ice.
Calves are born a grayish color that quickly turns much darker. The melanin in their skin gradually reduces over time, causing them to become paler with age, finally reaching their familiar creamy-white color upon sexual maturity.
Belugas thrive in cold waters thanks to an insulating layer of blubber that can be as thick as 6 inches. Their prominent dorsal ridge can be used to break through thin sea ice. Swimming at a steady speed of approximately 2 miles per hour, belugas cover thousands of miles every few months.
Belugas include in their diet a wide variety of bottom-dwelling and open sea prey . In some areas, belugas feed near the coast on seasonally abundant coastal fishlike salmon, herring, capelin, and smelt. Their unique, flexible neck allows a much wider range of motion for foraging the ocean floor than other cetaceans.
Although belugas are sometimes seen singly, they more commonly occur in groups known as pods. Pods typically number 2-10 whales, but sometimes aggregate to form herds of several hundred to more than 1,000 whales.
With the exception of the tight pairing of adult females and their newborns, stable associations are fairly rare in belugas. Group structure generally appears fluid as individuals readily form and dissolve brief associations with other whales.
Females become sexually mature at age 5 and males at age 8. Females bear a single calf between late spring and early summer after a 14-14.5 month gestation period. Mothers nurse their young for up to 2 years.
By 1999, the beluga whales of Alaska's Cook Inlet had declined to only 350 animals. Victims of over hunting, they stand little chance of recovery without complete protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Increasing levels of human activity in the beluga's environment carry the risk of disturbance, pollution, and habitat destruction. There also is concern over the environmental and health risks associated with the development of drilling for oil and gas, or mining, in the Arctic.

Climate change: Can sending fewer emails really save the planet?on November 19, 2020 at 12:31 pm
November 19, 2020 - by - Leave a Comment
Are you the type of person who always says thank-you? Well, if it's by email, you should stop, according to UK officials looking at ways to save the environment.
The Financial Times reports that we may all soon be encouraged to send one fewer email a day, cutting out "useless" one-line messages – such as "thanks".
Doing so "would save a lot of carbon", one official involved in next year's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow said.
But would it really make a huge difference?
Most people tend to think of the internet as a cloud that exists outside their computing hardware. But the reality is when you send an email – or anything else – it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics.
Your wi-fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange – the green box on the street corner – and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centres operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.
But a single email's effect on such massive infrastructure is tiny.
The Financial Times report says the officials promoting this idea referred to a press release from renewable electricity firm Ovo Energy from one year ago.
It claimed that if every British person sent one fewer thank-you email a day, it would save 16,433 tonnes of carbon a year, equivalent to tens of thousands of flights to Europe.
The problem, however, is that even if the sums involved roughly worked out, it would still be a splash in the pond.
The UK's annual greenhouse gas emissions were 435.2 million tonnes in 2019 – so the amount in question here is about 0.0037% of the national picture. And that's if every single British person reduced their email output.
Mike Berners-Lee, a respected professor on the topic whose research was used in the Ovo Energy work, told the Financial Times it was based on "back-of-the-envelope" maths from 2010 – and while useful to start conversations, there were bigger questions.
On top of that, the estimate of how much carbon an email generates "takes into account absolutely everything involved", according to Chris Preist, professor of sustainability and computer systems at the University of Bristol.
It tries to include the energy used by servers, your home wi-fi, your laptop – even a very small share of the carbon emitted to construct the data centre buildings.
"The reality is that a lot of the system will still have impact, whether or not the email is sent," Prof Preist explains.
"Your laptop will still be on, your wi-fi will still be on, your home internet connection will still be on, the wider network will still use roughly the same amount of energy even with a reduction in volume.
"There will be a small saving in the data centre hosting the email, particularly if it allows them to use a few less servers. But the carbon saved will be far far less than 1g per email."
Rather than worrying about relatively low-impact emails, some researchers suggest we should turn our attention to services such as game and video-streaming and cloud storage which have a much larger effect.
But the topic is immensely complicated, and there is a debate about how estimates should be calculated – and who should be responsible for it.
Big tech firms such as Google, for example, are already proudly carbon-neutral: they pay subsidies for environmental projects to offset the carbon they burn providing your emails – and other services like YouTube.
"What really makes a difference is buying less kit, and keeping it for longer," Prof Preist explains. "But even this is small fry compared with your travel, heating your home, and what you eat."
He said consumers should focus their "eco-guilt" on things that make a difference – and not sweat the small stuff.
"That is the job of the companies providing the services, who should be designing their systems to deliver services in as energy and resource efficient way as possible."
His advice on email etiquette and thank-you messages?
"Send an email if you feel that the other person will value it, and don't if they won't," he said.
"The biggest 'waste' both from an environmental and personal point of view will be the use of time by both of you."

Detroit City bound | sweet juniper!
We've placed a bid on a house that's perfect for us in downtown Detroit. Wood smartly put the kibosh on my dreams of the Frank Lloyd Wright fixer-upper, and for not much more than the cost of a down payment on a house in San Francisco we hope to soon own our first home in a city that most people don't even like to drive through. I can't say that I blame them. Detroiters are notorious for not heeding traffic signals; you can't assume because your light is green that some guy won't blast through the intersection at 40 mph. When people out here in San Francisco ask me what Detroit is like, I say that while I've never lived there, it feels like it's somewhere between Mad Max and The Road Warrior: chaotic and menacing, but not quite post-apocalyptic.
But I have also been telling people how excited I am to live there, and that I think Detroit is incredibly beautiful.
We have been getting "the face" for awhile now when I say such things; you know, the one where they look like they're smelling a particularly turgid dog fart. It usually accompanies the words: "You're going to raise your daughter there?" The speaker's eyes then dart from side to side, anxious, as though the men in the white lab coats are about to get out of their white vans and rush us with straitjackets to take us to the loony bin. "Have you ever actually been to Detroit?" we've been asked four times.
(1) Parent A makes an intentional values-based decision to do something (i.e. formula feed, co-sleep, cry-it-out, let her baby watch television, leash or spank her kids, or feed them junk food).
(2) Parent B makes an intentional values-based choice not to do the same thing, often creating a false sense of both insecurity and superiority in Parent B, who feels that it takes so much more effort and sacrifice to make the value-based choice she has made for her child.
(3) Parent B resents (and judges) Parent A for making the "easy" choice.
(4) Parent A feels the blatant judgment from Parent B, often creating a sense of guilt or insecurity for making the choice she has made. Parent A now resents (and judges) Parent B.
In any interaction, multiple values-based conflicts may exist at once, creating a tangled web of judgment and insecurity. Nearly every values-based parenting choice exists on a continuum between two dichotomous poles. Any time a parent takes a strong position or makes a particularly "polar" values-based decision (i.e. "No TV! Only wooden toys!" or "TV teaches my babies to read! They learn so much more from their leapfrog toys than they do from wooden blocks!") the judgment just becomes intrinsic to the choice. You really can't win, unless you learn to just accept that judgment and insecurity are a part of this process, and ultimately if you have a strong sense of personal values you just make decisions according to those values and try not to ignite the insecurities in the other side. Easier said than done.
We're learning that one of the most contentious of these values-based choices is the decision about where to raise your children. Despite having known quite a few awesome, successful people who grew up in the city of Detroit, we keep hearing from ordinarily politically-correct liberal people that we simply cannot raise our baby in Detroit. Some list proxy excuses like bad schools, personal safety, and corrupt city government and nonexistent city services to try to convince us that it's the wrong decision. The bottom line is that Detroit is black and for many people that's enough. Does all this judgment add to any insecurity we have about our decision to live in the city? A little, and I've written about it honestly before. Is that insecurity going to stop us? Hell no.
But what it is really threatening to do is make me really resent the people who imply we are making the wrong decision, that we are making the wrong choice and jeopardizing the safety and future of our little girl. I recognize that it's all just part of the chiasma: some judge us as crazy or simply bad parents; others resent us because they assume we think we're better than them. It's the latter that I am most concerned about, probably because our general views are less divergent. I think our decision to live in the city is viewed by those sensitive about living in the suburbs as a rejection of their decision (or sacrifice). In other words, we are choosing to live in a place they perceive as too dangerous to live not because we like danger but because we would never live in a place as lame as the suburbs. And that part is true. Wood and I would never live in the suburbs. But I'm not going to turn this into a "why Dutch doesn't want to live in the suburbs" post. That must be such a tired subject among actual metro Detroiters. I'm just not going to argue about how statistically it's more dangerous to commute for 90 minutes a day on congested highways than it is to live among black people.
When Wood and I were 19 we drove to Canada with Wood's college republican friend and a group of her high school friends who all grew up in Farmington Hills, an affluent exurb of Detroit. In Canada, the drinking age was 19. To get there, though, we had to drive through downtown Detroit. It was late, but some concert must have just ended at Joe Louis Arena and we got stuck in highway gridlock not far from the Detroit/Windsor tunnel. Everyone in all the other cars was black. The tension in our car was palpable. The Farmington girls were terrified. They started talking about the people in the other cars as "they" and "them" and one even went so far as to call them "animals." I couldn't hold it in anymore and I got into a shouting match with her. It was a certain kind of ugliness you don't get to see too much, given how privileged people are taught to be so careful with their words. For the rest of the evening I had a headache and I didn't want to go into any of lame clubs these girls were dancing in, nor did I have any desire to drink. Wood sat with me out in the empty streets of Windsor, her new boyfriend driven to contemplative silence.
It's infinitely tricky to explain why you see beauty in a place where so many others see only ugliness, without also explaining that you see ugliness in the places they find beautiful.
God knows not everyone from the suburbs is like those girls from Farmington Hills. I know plenty of people who grew up in the suburbs who are now living in the city that their parents' generation abandoned. I also know plenty of people who grew up in the suburbs, raise their kids in a streetcar suburb, and are completely awesome. I love how beauty can flourish amid all different kinds of ugliness, how it can overcome its context, whether it be urban blight or suburban sprawl. You are ultimately unique from the circumstances that shape you. You don't have to think the way everyone around you thinks. You are not condemned to be a bad parent just because you had bad parents. You can make values-based decisions and stick by them no matter how many people tell you that you are wrong.
From this bully pulpit I will share some of the beauty I find in a city that so many have told us contains only ugliness. I may share ugliness, too. Like everywhere and everyone, I'm sure it has plenty of both.


…got this pear from my patient, an elderly Bosnian lady. She assured me that I can safely eat it, because "it's halal". I have a deep respect for people who are committed to a certain way of life because of their faith. Maybe because the only thing concerning religion I really believe in is that it does not matter at all.

Q: How to process multiple space separated words in .htaccess? I have the following code in .htaccess and it works for pages which have a name of just one word. But it fails for page names consisting of more than one word.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]

I use the ending slash to indicate that the url needs to be rewritten, to avoid messing up real filenames.
The problem might have to do with the fact that spaces are url encode to %20.
Any suggestion on how to alter the regex or .htaccess in general?

A: The RewriteRule documentation includes a list of flags that you can set.  It's always worth reading in cases like this.
It seems that you may need the B flag:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?page=$1 [B,L]

The B flag tells Apache to escape nonalphanumeric characters in substituted backreferences, which apparently is what you want.
Also, adding the RewriteConds as above provides a safer way to avoid rewriting the URLs of real file names (such as images) that are being requested, as Michael says.

We truly believe that Tokyo is the greatest art city on the planet, and we want to share this passion with you on our Tokyo Art Tours.
As the capital since the 1600s, Tokyo has been a focal point of the Japanese Art scene for centuries. As well as the domesitc art on display, its place as a wealthy, developed, Asian capital has allowed the various museums and galleries to amass a huge collection from all over the continent, and indeed the world. The Tokyo public is prepared to come out in droves for major Western art exhibitions. There is a cornucopia of private galleries showcasing the best of Japanese and International contemporary art, and they are helped in this mission by the generous exhibition space offered by retail outlets.
Maction Planet's Tokyo Art Tours are very popular with our guests. However, you do not need to do a specialist art tour to enjoy the street art, statues and exhibitions in Tokyo. Art plays a part in all of our tours through iconic and backstreets Tokyo as it is such an important part of the fabric of the World's Greatest Metropolis.
Mac, our Founder and Lead Guide, has travelled to over 100 countries and is a huge art buff. He has visited almost all of the world's major art galleries and can place what you are seeing in a global context. He is a member of many of Tokyo's galleries and museums. He frequently writes about Tokyo's art scene on the Maction Planet Blog and for Tokyo Art Beat, one of Tokyo's largest art websites.
Whether you want to customise your Tokyo experience around a major exhibition, or check out some smaller galleries and gain some insights into their ethos and modus operandi, we can help.

Types of Network Security Explained

Home / Data Protection / Types of Network Security Explained
There is a wide variety of network security hardware, software, and methods that can be combined to protect sensitive data against external attacks and insider threats.
This article outlines network security core principles and the most popular technologies used by cybersecurity professionals to reduce network vulnerabilities.
What is Network Security?
Network security is any practice or tool designed and implemented to secure a network and its data. It includes software, hardware, and cloud solutions. Effective network security tools stop a wide range of cyberattacks, and prevent attacks spreading throughout the network in case of a data breach.
In today's cyber environment, every organization must implement network security processes and solutions to maintain the uptime of their online resources. All network security solutions are implemented in accordance with the core principles of network security.
Understanding the Principles of Network Security
The CIA Triad
The CIA triad consists of three core principles that work together to ensure network security. Any network security solution can be categorized as supporting one of the following principles:
Confidentiality: Data is kept protected against threats and unauthorized access.
Integrity: Data is kept accurate and trustworthy by preventing accidental or intentional alterations or deletion.
Availability: Data is kept accessible to those who are authorized to have access.
Network Security Components
To deter cyberattacks and hacking attempts, a total of three types of network security components can be called upon – hardware, software, and cloud security components.
Hardware components include servers and devices that perform an array of security operations within a network. Hardware components can be set up in two ways:
Out of the path of network traffic ("out-of-line"): Operating as a separate entity from network traffic, out-of-line security appliances are tasked with monitoring traffic and raising alerts when they detect malicious data.
In the path of network traffic ("in-line"): A more popular option of the two, in-line hardware appliances are tasked with directly blocking data packets the moment they run into potential threats.
Security software components are installed on devices across the network, providing added detection capabilities and threat remediation. The far most common form of software network security components are antivirus applications.
Finally, cloud services entail offloading the security infrastructure onto a cloud provider. The protection strategy is similar to in-line hardware appliances as all the network traffic goes through the cloud provider. While there, the traffic gets scanned for potential threats before either being blocked or allowed into the network.
Sound networks usually rely on a combination of several security components working at once. This kind of a multi-layered defense system ensures that even if a threat manages to slip through the cracks of one component, another layer of protection will keep it from gaining access to the network.
Layered security is a network security practice that combines multiple security controls to protect networks against threats. By using a layered security approach, a network has the greatest amount of coverage possible to address the wide variety of security threats that could infiltrate the network. A layered security approach also provides added opportunities for threat detection and response in the event that a threat bypasses one of the security layers.
For example, in an effort to secure a house against outside intruders a homeowner may use a fence, locks on the doors, security cameras, and a guard dog. Each added layer of security increases the overall effectiveness of the defense strategy while simultaneously adding unique threat detection and prevention capabilities that complement and supplement the other security measures.
The Zero-Trust Framework
Zero-trust is a cybersecurity framework that emphasizes that organizations should not automatically allow traffic throughout the network, even if it comes from an internal source. This differs from the castle-and-moat framework, where network security is achieved by creating a hardened perimeter of security that is focused on addressing external threats.
The core concept of zero-trust is that traffic cannot be trusted until it is properly verified as being legitimate. This protects networks against insider threats and compromised credentials within the internal perimeter that would normally provide threat actors with minimal resistance as they spread throughout the network.
Verification is achieved through a variety of methods and technologies, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), identity and access management (IAM), and data analytics. In a segmented network, the verification systems that are in place continue to verify traffic as it passes along each of the segments to ensure that the user activity is legitimate throughout the entire session.
Types of Network Security, Tools, & Methods
Access Control & Authentication
Access control and authentication measures protect networks and data by validating user credentials and ensuring that those users are only permitted to access the data that is necessary for their role. Tools that aid access control and authentication include privileged access management (PAM), Identity as a Service (IaaS) providers, and network access control (NAC) solutions.
Access control and authentication solutions are also used to verify that valid users are accessing the network from secured endpoints. To verify, it performs a 'health check' that ensures the latest security updates and prerequisite software are installed on the endpoint device.
Anti-Virus & Anti-Malware
Anti-virus and anti-malware protect networks from malicious software that is used by threat actors to create a backdoor that they can use to further infiltrate the network. It's important to note that while there are similarities between anti-virus and anti-malware programs, they are not exactly the same.
Anti-Virus: Prevention-based, protects networks by proactively stopping endpoint devices from becoming infected.
Anti-Malware: Treatment-based, protects networks by detecting and destroying malicious programs that have infiltrated the network.
As the nature of malicious software is continually evolving, implementing both network security options in conjunction is the best method for ensuring network security.
Application security ensures that the software used throughout the network is secure. Application security is ensured by limiting the amount of software that is used, ensuring that software is kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and that applications developed for use in the network are appropriately hardened against potential exploits.
Behavioral Analytics
Behavioral analytics is an advanced threat detection method that compares historical network activity data to current events in an effort to detect anomalous behavior. An example of this would be if a user typically uses a given endpoint device to access a specific database somewhere between 3-4 times per day on average, an instance where that user instead uses a new endpoint device to access a different database several times would be flagged for review.
DDoS Prevention
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks attempt to crash the network by overloading it with a large influx of incoming connection requests. DDoS prevention solutions analyze incoming requests to identify and filter out illegitimate traffic in an effort to maintain the network's accessibility for legitimate connections.
DDoS attacks are either carried out through a distributed network of attackers that execute scripts to send a large volume of incoming requests to the network or through a widespread series of devices that have been compromised and converted into an orchestrated system known as a botnet.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Data loss prevention (DLP) tools protect the data inside a network by preventing users from sharing sensitive or valuable information outside of the network and ensuring that data is not lost or misused. This can be accomplished by analyzing files that are sent via email, file transfers, and instant messages for data that is considered to be sensitive, such as personally identifiable information (PII).
Email security measures protect networks from phishing attacks that attempt to trick users into clicking links to malicious websites or downloading seemingly innocent attachments that introduce malware into the network. Email security tools proactively fight phishing by identifying suspicious emails and filtering them out before they reach the user's inbox.
According to the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), 94% of malware was discovered to have been delivered via email and 32% of data breaches involved phishing attacks. Email security tools complement anti-phishing training by reducing the volume of malicious emails that pass through the network and into the inboxes of users.
Endpoint security protects networks by ensuring that the devices that will be connected to the network are secured against potential threats. Endpoint security is achieved alongside network security by combining several other network security tools such as network access control, application security, and network monitoring.
An endpoint device is any piece of hardware that is connected to a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), such as workstations, laptops, smartphones, printers, and mobile kiosks.
Firewalls are hardware appliances and software programs that act as a barrier between incoming traffic and the network. The firewall compares data packets that are sent over the network to predefined policies and rules that indicate whether or not the data should be permitted into the network.
Learn more about the different types of firewalls that exist.
The basic types are hardware and software firewall solutions.
Mobile device security centers around limiting the access that mobile devices have to the network and ensuring that the security vulnerabilities of mobile devices that are permitted on the network are monitored and managed.
Mobile device security measures include mobile device management (MDM) solutions that allow administrators to segment sensitive data on mobile devices, enforce data encryption, determine the applications that are permitted to be installed, locate lost or stolen devices, and remotely wipe sensitive data.
Network Monitoring & Detection Systems
Network monitoring & detection systems include a wide variety of applications that are designed to monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic and respond to anomalous or malicious network activity.
Examples of network monitoring & detection systems:
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) scan network traffic for suspicious activity such as policy violations in an effort to automatically block intrusion attempts.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) work similarly to IPS, with an emphasis on monitoring network packets and flagging suspicious activity for review.
Security Information And Event Management (SIEM) provide a detailed overview of network events using a combination of host-based and network-based intrusion detection methods. SIEM systems provide administrators with valuable log data for investigating security incidents and flagging suspicious behavior.
Network segmentation is a common network security practice for reducing the ease of which network security threats can spread. Network segmentation involves classifying a larger network into multiple subnetworks, with each subnetwork being managed with its own unique access controls. Each subnetwork acts as its own unique network to improve monitoring capabilities, boost network performance, and enhance security.
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
Virtual private networks provide secure remote access from a given endpoint into a network. A VPN encrypts all network traffic that goes through it to prevent the unauthorized analysis of data sent to and from the network. It is often used by off-site workers that need a secure connection to their company's network, allowing them to access data and applications that are necessary for their role.

Web security protects networks by proactively protecting endpoint devices against web-based threats. Web security technologies such as a web filter will use a database of known malicious or vulnerable websites to maintain a blacklist, block commonly exploited network ports, and prevent users from engaging in high-risk activities on the internet.
Web filtering solutions can be configured to only allow pre-authorized domains that are on the web filter's whitelist. When a whitelist is used the web filter will block access to all websites that are not on the whitelist.
Web security products may also include capabilities for analyzing connection requests to a website and determining if the website meets the minimum security requirements of the network before allowing users to access it.
Wireless security measures protect the network against vulnerabilities that are unique to wireless connections. Wi-Fi networks openly broadcast connections to nearby devices, creating added opportunities for nearby threat actors to attempt to access the network. Wireless security is enhanced through methods such as encrypting data passed over wireless networks, filtering MAC addresses to restrict access, and privatizing the network SSID to avoid broadcasting the name of the network.
To truly protect a network, multiple specialized hardware and software need to be installed and managed. By implementing a layered network security approach with tools that support the principles of the CIA triad, a network can be secured against a wide array of vulnerabilities.

Thodari review: A meandering trip to hilarity
With a unwieldy screenplay and convoluted treatment, Thodari follows a tedious train journey — from Delhi to Chennai — that seems unending
Published: 24th September 2016 08:11 AM | Last Updated: 24th September 2016 08:11 AM | A+A A-
By Malini Mannath
Film: Thodari;
Director: Prabhu Solomon;
Cast: Dhanush, Keerthi Suresh, Ganesh Venkatram, Harish Uthaman, Radharavi,Thambi Ramaiah
He is a maker who seems to have a penchant for journeys. While in the delightful Myna (2010), the hero is taken on a trip through the woods and hilly terrain, in Kumki (2012) it was a mahout and his elephant's journey to a village, and in his last release Kayal (2014), the hero and his friend are crisscrossing across India on a vacation.
In Thodari, it's a train journey from Delhi to Chennai, which seems to take longer than the actual number of days it takes to complete the trip, if one takes into account the few times the train had halted due to various reasons.
As the film opens at the Delhi Railway station we are introduced to its hero Poochy, a pantry worker. With Karunakaran and Ashwin playing his co-workers and Ramaiah as their often bullied and naive supervisor, one can visualise how the ambiance of the pantry would be. And as the narration progresses, we are introduced to more and more characters.
Like Saroja — the simple touch-up girl to a Malayalam actress who was travelling with her mother, a disgruntled minister Rangaraj with his two security officers (one of them is the aggressive Nandakumar), and Sultan the cop who handles the crisis at ground level at a much later stage. It's love at first sight for Poochi as he sets eyes on Saroja. This is promptly followed by a dream song on top of the moving train — nothing like the visually vibrant Chayya Chayya from Dil Se (1998).
The director tries to cramp the screenplay with too many elements. It includes a romance brewing in the train, robbers looting it, a lead player being mistaken for a terrorist, the Poochi- Nandakumar physical confrontations, an engine driver on his last day at work, his inebriated assistant with his own personal problem and finally, the train speeding out of control and at some point, there's even on fire.
The characters and events could have been coordinated and linked in a better way. And through all this, it is the resilience of our hero and his girl which pulls the Thodari and its passengers out of certain catastrophe.
The first part focuses mainly on the antics of the pantry workers and Poochi's attraction towards Saroja. Amusing is Poochi's cheeky remarks targeted at Ramaiah, the sarcasm escaping the latter. It is to Dhanush's credit that he lends a consistency to his performance even when the character is made to go through situations that are ridiculous and lack conviction.
Touching is Keerthi's take on her role as the innocent Saroja, though it does make her seem a tad too naive and gullible for comfort! An aspiring singer who doesn't realise that she has a very bad voice, Saroja falls for Poochi's claim of knowing lyricist Vairamuthu and draws closer to him. Karunakaran's Vairamuthu-act is splendid.
Radharavi brings the right touch to his character of the disgruntled minister, cynical and amused at the turn of events which had brought him center-stage. Harish Uthaman cuts a handsome figure as Nandakumar, though the latter's antics seemed contrived and mindless. Ganesh Venkatram's cop seems an extension of his role in Unnaipol Oruvan (2009).
The sets and graphics, and the real shots of the train do not work…it's patchy at best. It barely gives you the feeling of following a train journey.
In a commercial entertainer, you can, to a large extent, come to terms with the glaring loopholes in the script — like when a TV channel constantly reports wrong news, not one among the supposedly 700-odd passengers (now that number was a surprise) seemed concerned enough to correct the number through social media. And then there's a scene with the commandos, where the chopper is firing away at the miscreants in the train — it's laughable really! The scene towards the climax is unintentionally hilarious.
With its rather meandering unwieldy screenplay and convoluted treatment, it's probably the weakest of Solomon's scripts. And at a whole 168 minutes of running time, it's a tedious journey that seemed unending.

Recovery Champion: Hope Holland
After decades of trauma and family turmoil, Hope Holland likes to hike and contemplate at Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga.
"You can be here and not feel homeless," she said on a recent visit to the center's immaculate gardens and hills above the Silicon Valley. "You feel like you actually live here for a moment."
Now 44, the native of California's north coast was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder in her early 20s. She was open to treatment but rejected medication after witnessing her mother's struggle with mental illness.
"No one wants to take meds for the rest of their life," she said, adding that she's also physically sensitive to medications. With strong, hiker's legs and medium brown hair braided tightly, Holland glided from one Montalvo trail to the other, never missing a step on the paths or detail in her story.
Holland ran away to a friend's house at age 12, where she actually began to live a somewhat normal life. She sang in the high school jazz choir, ran cross-country, played basketball, and became an honors student and vice-president of her class. But the torments that drove her from home were never far away. She said the organized crime gang that killed her uncle was threatening the family, too.
"I was having nervous breakdowns," she said. Holland moved to live with a friend in Cupertino, but that was no easy escape. "I felt so out of place. I couldn't handle it."
The smart and talented young woman dropped out of school, bounced in and out of therapy, and started a long, bumpy journey marked by college successes and the breakdowns that would force her to start over again and again. She was homeless and incarcerated at times, but also held good high-tech jobs.
Over the course of her life, Holland attempted suicide five times. Starting in 2001, Momentum for Health laid the foundation for her recovery and gave her direction. She said she began to embrace her illness and make it work for her, not against her.
Along the way she had two boys, Jacob and Jonathan. Adding unimaginable anguish to her struggle, Jonathan's father kidnapped the boy when he was only 3, leaving Hope to raise Jacob on her own. Holland took a few years to focus on her recovery, but ended up finding Jonathan 15 years later through a photo he had posted on Facebook three years prior. The Spanish-speaking young man now lives with her in Campbell.
Little by little, Holland, who is partly fluent in the language, is telling him her story and showing him how far she's come.
While Jonathan was growing up in Mexico and Hope was raising Jacob, Holland became a certified drug and alcohol abuse counselor. She served on a blue ribbon commission that looked into the beating death of Michael Tyree, an inmate with a mental illness, in the Santa Clara County Jail in 2015.
"I like what you do," Jonathan told her in English during the hike, adding in Spanish later that he admires his mother's long struggle to find and overcome her illness. "She is strong and determined."
Holland also worked on the Mental Health Services Act, a 2004 ballot initiative approved by California voters. The measure taxes the wealthy to expand and improve prevention and treatment, mainly through county mental health programs.
"Most people wouldn't have hope if they were in my position," Holland said. "But I feel as though hope was innately born in me."

Farms of the future
Agriculture / Company News / Industry News
Virtual fences, drones as pest control, precision agriculture and a twist on Tinder – for bulls. Emma Mulholland discovers the breakthrough technologies that are here now and on the horizon, designed to boost safety, sustainability and profitability in the farming sector.
Are stockyards and sale days – even the humble barbed-wire fence – set to go the way of the drover? Australia's agricultural landscape is fast changing but if there is one certainty, it's that an explosion of easy-to-use, farmer-friendly agtech has forever altered the way farmers operate. Forget merely waiting for rain – today's growers are monitoring soil moisture and leaf wetness, creating prescription maps for fertiliser application and predicting yields months ahead of harvest.
Automation and data collection are delivering real productivity gains and local entrepreneurs are leading the charge. Among them is Ros Harvey, founder of Sensing+ for Agriculture, an artificial-intelligence platform that tracks a property's microclimates, helping farmers know when to plant, protect and harvest. She says local producers are hungry for new technology. "Growing is a risky business. If you get 30 seasons in your life, you want to make sure you get a return for every one of them."
Here, we take a look at the cutting-edge tools taking the guesswork and back-of-the-envelope calculations out of the growing game.
Site-specific satellite imagery is key in precision agriculture.
Precision agriculture – the practice of identifying and responding to variations in a crop – is generating big buzz right now. For farmers who want to dip their toes in, there's DecipherAg, a software program developed by Wesfarmers. It combines biomass imagery from multiple satellites to help producers monitor crop growth, arrange soil sampling, create prescription maps for fertiliser application and compare trends over several seasons. "We're hoping to broaden the appeal of precision agriculture so we've concentrated on what's really important to growers," says spokesman Frank D'Emden. "That's things like viewing up-to-date imagery, overlaying it with their paddock boundaries and soil analysis results and having a clean interface that's easy to understand."
Mending fences
"Farmers can move the 'fence' daily for cell grazing or to protect a riparian zone – you literally just draw the boundary on your computer."
Barbed-wire and electric fences could become a thing of the past, thanks to Melbourne-based company Agersens' "virtual fence" device. Developed with the CSIRO, the eShepherd collars train cattle to stay behind an invisible fence by emitting a noise when they approach the boundary; if they continue, the neckband gives off an electric pulse. "Farmers can move the 'fence' daily for cell grazing or to protect a riparian zone – you literally just draw the boundary on your computer," says Agersens' Sally Haynes.
"Because we train the cattle using sounds, as well as animal behaviour and welfare learning principles, they aren't afraid of approaching the fence. They might get lots of audios but they just know they need to turn around." The collars produce a less intense shock than an electric fence and there's no risk of cattle or native animals getting tangled in wire.
App, set, match
Buying bulls is about to get easier with the launch of DeSireBull. This time next year beef producers will be able to use a smartphone app to select the best bull for their breeding needs. A bit like Tinder? Not quite, says project leader Matias Suarez. "Other countries have tools like Tinder but they're pretty simple: if you like the look of the bull, you swipe right. We want producers to make decisions based on science and data."
Developed by NSW's Department of Primary Industries, the platform rates bulls according to Breedplan, a genetic evaluation system used around the world. "Breedplan is useful but it was developed with the stud breeder in mind," says Suarez. "We're trying to provide commercial producers with a tool that speaks their language – the information is pretty much the same but the algorithms do the thinking on their behalf."
Milking the system
Data collection has done great things for the dairy industry; in fact, with better management and genetics, farmers are getting double the milk yield per cow than they were 40 years ago. And for an industry facing tough times, every drop counts. Sunshine Coast dairy farmer Ray De Vere has boosted his bottom line by kitting out his Jersey and Brown Swiss cows with Allflex fertility monitoring collars.
Used on dairy and beef cattle, the collars track animals' movements and a computer program notifies farmers of breeding windows. If there's a problem – say a cow is sick or the milkers spook – he is notified by text message. By knowing the optimum time to breed his cows, De Vere has been able to reduce his average days in milk, leaving him $65,000 better off. "I can get results that are 96 per cent accurate," he says. "That's gone from being about 40 to 50 per cent when we were visually monitoring the cows."

It started with you first.
The relationship between independent advisors and their broker-dealers is often lacking, and advisors can feel isolated and left to fend for themselves. We created Client One to provide independent advisors access to industry-leading resources because you deserve to truly know the people you work alongside.
Client One was built from the ground up and has put in countless hours overseeing each advisor's transition, ensuring quality service. Our experienced team will help you through the transition as you make the move to Client One.
Knowing the intricacies of the industry from an advisor's point of view can be invaluable. Not only do we see and understand the hurdles of running a practice and balancing life, we've walked in your shoes. We're committed to delivering you valuable resources you can pass along to your clients. We focus our resources on you because we see it from your point of view.
With Client One, we care about you and your success matters.
Here's why I moved to Client One.
For the past few decades, I've been working for privately owned broker-dealers in the Kansas City area. What I loved best about the brokerage, was the family-feel. I wasn't certain I could find another relationship-driven broker-dealer when that brokerage merged with a corporate-driven broker. The small broker-dealer industry continues to diminish, from either M&As or simply unable to compete with the giants in the industry. The relationship-driven broker-dealers are ever decreasing due to rising competition and threats to margins or due to regulations.
I joined Client One because we are part of an industry-leading diversified financial services organization and are committed to remaining a family-oriented broker-dealer. Like where I came from, advisors meet our teams with hugs, not handshakes.
Witnessing these types of relationships, is why my decision to move to Client One was solidified.
You're not a number, don't be treated like one.
You're unique, so are your practice's needs.
You deserve a partner who's committed to helping you grow.
Meet a team whose actions speak louder than words.
If you're looking for the personal broker-dealer relationships of the past, I'm here to tell you they still exist. If you're considering making the move, get to know what a truly independent broker-dealer can do for you.
The inception of Client One, was with you in mind first, and foremost.
Give our team a call and let's see if we're a fit 913.814.6097.

As Hollywood and the rest of the world mourn the passing of movie icon Burt Reynolds at the age of 82, I was immediately reminded that he filmed a movie here back in 1978. The movie was called "Hooper", and many Tuscaloosans remember it well.
Of course, people know Burt best in movies such as, "Smokey And The Bandit", "The Longest Yard", "The Cannonball Run", "Deliverance", and "Boogie Nights", not to mention his numerous television appearances. However, to longtime residents of Tuscaloosa, "Hooper" will always hold a space in their hearts.
And THANK YOU Mr. Reynolds for entertaining us for all these years. R.I.P. Good Sir.

Lake Champlain
Lake Champlain is a natural body of water in New York and Vermont, along with a portion in the province of Quebec, Canada. It is connected by Canals with the Hudson River.
Discovered by Samuel Champlain in 1609, the lake was a natural conduit for military forces headed both north and south. During the French and Indian Wars, the French and Canadian forces first gained a victory at Fort Ticonderoga in 1758, but were defeated by the British the following year.
During the American Revolution, the lake was used by continental forces under Benedict Arnold, who won a major victory at Valcour Island in 1776. It was taken by the British in 1777 and remained under British control for the remainder of the conflict.
The last military activity on the lake was during the War of 1812, when Commodore Thomas Macdonough`s total destruction of the British fleet in Plattsburgh Bay in 1814 was the decisive battle of the second war with England.

My Mum's cousin has cancer. Cancer is a big scary word, especially when it's inoperable and there's only one ending, so the question always becomes how long. My Mum's cousin has always seemed like an Aunty to me. She lives in Blackpool, about 60 miles away, but her family came from St Helens. That's a mining and glass-making town, not well known for being very with it. In the Cotswolds and with a few more older buildings, you'd call it a quaint market town, but St Helens suffered from some of the worst Modern Ideas of the 60s so it's a bit of a dump really. Shame, as it does have a good history to it and lovely people who live there.
Aunty D always visited us twice a year, taking the train and calling into St Helens Cemetery to visit her Mum and Dad's grave before catching the bus out to Rainhill and having pie, chips and mushy peas as her lunch and setting off again to the station. She always brought us some little things, like Easter eggs or chocolates, crackers, a small decoration or something that she had seen and thought we would like. My Nana loved her, and we all do, even though she is a strange, small, bird-like woman. She has lived alone for many years and, even now, protects her privacy. She has told us that she will tell us when she's ready for us to visit, but she's fine at the moment.
Why am I telling you this on Recipe Tuesday? Well, because links get made in people's minds and they're difficult to break. I always associate Aunty D with Paddington. I think we visited Blackpool one summer day and I (aged 7) bought a small Paddington which I played with in her house. She likes bears, and has her own Edward Bear who is re-christened Noel every November in preparation for Christmas. She loves Christmas as well, and eccentricities are beautiful to me, so we always get on.
Paddington leads me on to Marmalade and the recipe today. I don't wear a hat and can't make proper marmalade sandwiches, but I do love marmalade, so today's offering is a loaf of orange sweetness, not a drizzle cake, but a proper tea loaf style that you can slice and toast and put butter on. You won't need marmalade, because the orange is in there already. You will need a good strong cup of tea. And a friend, because Paddington will tell you, food tastes better with friends.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°, gas mark 4.
Line a 2lb loaf tin with a traditional loaf tin liner.
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and sugar, then rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is coarsely crumbled.
Add the grated orange rinds, the mixed spice and dried fruit. Stir all these together and add the milk a little at a time, followed by the vinegar. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed, then stir in the marmalade – and you should have a good dropping consistency (so that if you tap a spoonful of the mixture on the side of the bowl, it drops off easily – you can adjust this with a touch more milk if necessary).
Store in its liner in an airtight tin.
This cake improves with keeping! If it lasts that long….
A picture of my book, 50 Ways to Hygge the British Way and a reminder that you can get it from Amazon on Kindle or in paperback. And if you've got it already and like it, please do leave a review. Every star counts!
Thank you for sharing this recipe, it sounds perfect for having with a cuppa.
I hope things are as well as they can be for your Auntie too right now.
