Gene found responsible for smoking habit
August 11, 2008 by Editor Health News
Anyone who has ever tried smoking probably remembers that first cigarette vividly. For some, it brought a wave of nausea or a nasty coughing fit. For others, those first puffs also came with a rush of pleasure or "buzz."
Now, a new study links those first experiences with smoking, and the likelihood that a person is currently a smoker, to a particular genetic variation. The finding may help explain the path that leads from that first cigarette to lifelong smoking.
The new finding also adds to growing suspicion surrounding the role of a particular nicotine-receptor gene in smoking-related behaviors and in lung cancer. Other researchers have already linked variations in the same genetic region to smokers' level of dependence on nicotine, to the number of cigarettes smoked per day and to a far higher risk of lung cancer – the ultimate outcome of a lifetime of smoking.
In a paper published online today in the journal Addiction, a multi-university collaborative team of researchers specializing in statistical genetics, gene analysis, and trait analysis reports an association between a variant in the CHRNA5 nicotine receptor gene, initial smoking experiences, and current smoking patterns.
The genetic and smoking data come from 435 volunteers. Those who never smoked had tried at least one cigarette but no more than 100 cigarettes in their lives, and never formed a smoking habit. The regular smokers had smoked at least five cigarettes a day for at least the past five years.
The regular smokers in the study were far more likely than the never-smokers to have the less common rs16969968 form of the CHRNA5 gene, in which just one base-pair in the gene sequence was different from the more common form. This kind of genetic variation is called a single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP.
Smokers were also eight times as likely to report that their first cigarettes gave them a pleasurable buzz.
"It appears that for people who have a certain genetic makeup, the initial physical reaction to smoking can play a significant role in determining what happens next," says senior author and project leader, Ovide Pomerleau, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School and founder of the U-M Nicotine Research Laboratory.
"If cigarette smoking is sustained, nicotine addiction can occur in a few days to a few months," he adds. "The finding of a genetic association with pleasurable early smoking experiences may help explain how people get addicted – and, of course, once addicted, many will keep smoking for the rest of their lives."
The researchers point out that the genetic variant explains only a portion of human smoking behavior, and that a more complete explanation of why people smoke and why they can't quit will require much more information about how genes interact with social influences and other environmental factors.
Pomerleau predicts that the ability to link behavioral patterns in smoking to individual genotypes will need extensive information concerning behavior, genes, and the environmental context – as well as bioinformatic tools to bring it all together. "Understanding the genetics of complex disorders such as nicotine addiction will require much more research on key traits," he says.
The team notes that the CHRNA5 relationships appear to be strong and that practical applications from this research include new genetic tests for smoking risk and the development of medications that target smoking-risk genes.
Pomerleau states that the new paper builds on findings reported last year by fellow author Laura Bierut, in which a whole-genome study found that the same single nucleotide polymorphism, rs16969968, of the CHRNA5 gene was associated with smokers' level of nicotine dependence.
He also notes that, this year, three papers published independently of one another demonstrated that variations in the same gene, and related genes, greatly increase the risk of lung cancer.
Taking into account its links to increased liking of initial smoking, stronger likelihood of getting addicted to nicotine, and greater probability of developing lung cancer, this genetic variant may well constitute a "triple whammy" for smoking-related disease, he says.
A mechanism for explaining increased disease risk, proposed by one of the cancer genetics researchers, is the possibility that certain chemicals, for instance N-nitrosonornicotine in tobacco smoke, act on nicotine receptors in the lung to produce cancer-causing changes ? a process known as tumorigenesis.
The new findings linking first smoking experiences, smoking habits, and genetic variation build on previous research by Ovide Pomerleau and Cynthia Pomerleau, Ph.D., at U-M. In studies conducted over a 10-year span, they documented a link between nicotine-dependent smoking and positive first smoking experiences.

Avonwick is a village in the county of Devon, England. It is within the parish of North Huish which had a population of 360 in the 2001 census. The River Avon runs through the village – its name derives from 'avon' meaning river, and 'wick' an old word for village, but it was not so named until the 1870s, previously being known as Newhouse.
Avonwick has rapidly grown in size over the last few years with two developments. The village contains one of only a few proprietary chapels remaining in the country, a restaurant, a pub, one of the oldest lawn tennis clubs in the world, a garage and a small shop.
Avonwick railway station opened in 1893 about half a mile outside the village, but closed in 1963.

Lockdown effect on home Wi-Fi: "Every day is Christmas Day," says ASSIA
March 30, 2020 | BREAKING NEWS | by Claus Hetting, Wi-Fi NOW CEO & Chairman
Tuncay Cil, ASSIA.
Guest blog by Tuncay Cil, Chief Strategy Officer, ASSIA
With most of the US and Europe now working, attending classes, and socialising from home, residential Wi-Fi networks are being tested to their limits and new usage patterns are emerging. Tuncay Cil, Chief Strategy Officer of ASSIA – an AI-driven network management software company in Silicon Valley – provides perspective on the impact of new stay-at-home policies on home Internet and Wi-Fi usage.
Remember on Christmas Day when you're at home and you turn on Skype or Zoom or FaceTime or something else to video-chat with your relatives perhaps for hours on end? Now everyday is exactly like that in terms of home Wi-Fi traffic volume and usage patterns.
The new normal: Holiday-level Wi-Fi upload
ASSIA is currently managing Internet and home network connectivity for over 125 million homes worldwide. The effect on Wi-Fi of the near-global lockdown and working from home trend is clear: We are seeing much higher volumes of data traffic on Wi-Fi networks, much higher levels of interference on the 5 GHz band, and also many more complaints about the quality of uplink connections. Everyday use of residential Internet and Wi-Fi during times of stay-at-home working looks more like our usage patterns and volumes during holidays.
In the last ten days we have been contacted by multiple carriers and service providers to help troubleshoot connectivity issues brought about by the change in usage patterns for home Wi-Fi. The results of our investigations (with a sample size in the tens of millions) point to a uniformly steep rise in upload traffic – even across different geographies and network types – with the upload to download traffic ratio (see graphic at the top) up more than 60%. This represents a two-fold increase over the average usage pattern from before lockdown policies were introduced.
Above: 80% increase in PC/Phone upload traffic since beginning of March. Graphic courtesy ASSIA.
With webcams, laptops, and PCs running video streams all the time home, Wi-Fi networks are uploading data like never before and a lot of teleconferencing, online education, and even telemedicine applications are not working properly due to network problems. Our indicators point to a major shift in usage behaviour: The total Wi-Fi upload traffic – mostly generated by gaming consoles, laptops and PCs – has increased by 80% since enforced stay-at-home policies (lockdown) began for most countries in early March (see graphic above).
Our data shows that the traditional weekday-weekend and time-of-day usage patterns have shifted. With video conferencing happening from home during the week, what used to be weekend traffic profiles are now taking place all through the week. We are also observing a 4-hour earlier start to peak upload traffic patterns during the day.

Network interference jumps
Add to this that radio network interference worsening as Wi-Fi becomes the dominant connection to the Internet. Recently FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has proposed that the US release the full 6 GHz band to unlicensed use – including Wi-Fi of course – based on the idea that existing Wi-Fi spectrum may soon be insufficient to support Wi-Fi traffic growth.
ASSIA's findings on increased interference constitutes strong evidence in support the proposed new spectrum policies of the FCC and Chairman Pai: Interference on the 2.4 GHz band was already high before the March lockdown but has since jumped another 10%. Even more remarkable is that interference on the 5 GHz band is up 30% since the start of the lockdown.
Network demand could lead to 'premium home services'
Many home Wi-Fi service providers have been in need of effective home Wi-Fi management even before the lockdown. This need has now been greatly amplified and has changed in nature due to the increase in connectivity challenges for teleconferencing type applications, which are critical to the continuation of our productive lives during the lockdown. Carriers design and provision networks based on assumptions about usage and the mix of upstream and downstream traffic. We are now seeing shifts in traffic profiles that mandate a fundamental change in those assumptions.
But the behaviour stressing networks in the short term will also drive demand for improved access technologies in the medium term. We could soon see the emergence of a new class of service, such as for example a premium residential service. Such services might be similar to what is today offered as enterprise-grade connectivity and would be targeted to serve work-from-home devices. The ability to identify, monitor, and prioritise such devices will become increasingly important from now on.
About ASSIA:
ASSIA's technology and services are now used by more than 38 broadband service providers across 5 continents including by household brands such as AT&T, DT, Telefonica, Liberty Latin America, CenturyLink, Sky, TalkTalk and many more cable and telco ISP's. More than 125 million households connect to ASSIA-managed Wi-Fi networks every day. Learn more about ASSIA and meet Tuncay Cil and the ASSIA team in person at Wi-Fi World Congress USA this August 31 – September 3 – see more here for program & tickets.

If you have just moved out from using Infusionsoft, then there is some stuff you would like to know before digging in your ActiveCampaign account.
Remember that if you have not migrated your contacts from Infusionsoft into ActiveCampaign that will be the first step before doing anything else. You can find all the information to migrate them here.
There is a place too for those Infusionsoft's former users that worked with its CRM. In ActiveCampaign that CRM can be found in the section named 'Deals'. A 'deal' is each one of the entries you can create in your CRM. You can open a 'deal' for each one of your contacts – and also leave contacts without 'deals' if you don't need that for them.
The 'deals' in ActiveCampaign's CRM are organised in pipelines and stages. A deal will only be able to be in a stage per pipeline, but it can be in several pipelines at the same time. You can think in a 'pipeline' like in the 'conversion funnel' that a 'deal' would have to go through in order to be converted in a client or customer.
In the same way as you could integrate your Infusionsoft account with 3rd party tools and services, you will be able to integrate ActiveCampaign with more than 200 apps. You will find your access to the integrations with other applications through the Apps section (top navigation bar). From there, among other shortcuts, you will find a search box where you can type the tool you are looking for.
Zapier is the service we use to provide these integration, so if you are already familiar with the tool, you know how it works. If that's not the case, this video explain how that works. Basically you can setup actions like "Every time something happens in this app > Do this in ActiveCampaign". For instance: Every time there is new purchase done by Contact A in PayPal > Create a Contact A in ActiveCampaign and send him a series of emails.
If you have been using Infusion's storefront feature to sell your stuff online, in ActiveCampaign you will have to integrate your ecommerce platform (Prestashop, Magento, WooCommerce) or your payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal) directly.
'Broadcast' is now a term from your past. The terms that we use in ActiveCampaign to refer to emails either can be campaigns or automations, basically those in which you can automate a series of emails or other actions.
Using the email marketing feature in ActiveCampaign you can send regular campaigns (one-time emails) to a group of contacts or lists, auto-responders that are triggered after someone is added into a list, split campaigns (campaigns that have several variations of the same email), etc. On the other hand, in ActiveCampaign, you can send emails through automations. In an automation, you set conditions that determine if a contact should receive an email or not, starting points that trigger other actions, apply tags, etc. You can think in an 'automation' as a 'campaign sequence' in Infusionsoft.

US-backed SDF militants steal 140,000 barrels per day of Syrian oil in Hasakah:
Roger:
US-backed SDF militants steal 140,000 barrels per day of Syrian oil in Hasakah: Report
Militants of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is supported by the United States, steal 140,000 barrels of crude oil on a daily basis from oil fields in Syria's northeastern province of Hasakah, a report says.
Ghassan Halim Khalil, governor of Hasakah, announced the grim news in an interview with the Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper on Saturday, adding that Syrian oil is being plundered by the SDF militants in various ways, all with the participation and support of American forces deployed to the region.
He stressed that precise intelligence collected and received show that US-backed militants use tanker trucks from Taramish area in the vicinity of Tigris and in al-Malikiyah to smuggle the Syrian oil to neighboring Iraq.
Khalil further noted that many tanker trucks pass through the illegal al-Mahmoudiyah crossing into Iraq every day, adding that the SDF militants also regularly send mounts of stolen oil to their controlled areas in Syria.
The Syrian governor also revealed that the US forces have ordered the SDF militants not to allow the Damascus-controlled areas receive oil.
Khalil added that while the Syrian people are suffering from the cold weather and hunger, these US-supported militants plunder Syria's national oil resources.
The US looting of Syrian oil was first confirmed during a Senate hearing exchange between South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and then US secretary of state Mike Pompeo last July.
During his testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Pompeo confirmed for the first time that an American oil company would begin work in northeastern Syria, which is controlled by the SDF, which is an alliance of Kurdish militants operating against Damascus and currently controls areas in northern and eastern Syria.
The Syrian government at the time denounced in the strongest terms the agreement inked to plunder the country's natural resources, including Syrian oil and gas, under the sponsorship and support of the administration of former US president Donald Trump.
Since late October 2019, the US has been redeploying soldiers to the SDF-controlled oil fields in eastern Syria, in a reversal of Trump's earlier order to withdraw all troops from the war-torn country.
The Pentagon claims that the move aims to "protect" the fields and facilities from possible attacks by the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, while Trump famously said that the US seeks economic interests in controlling the oil fields.
A US-led military coalition has been pounding what it claimed was positions of Daesh inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate. The strikes have on many occasions resulted in civilian casualties and failed to fulfill their declared aim of countering terrorism.

Q: Use lapply on condition in R it's easier to explain what I want to do if you look at the code first but essentially I think I want to use lapply on a condition but I wasn't able to do it.
library("tidyverse")
names <- rep(c("City A", "City B"), each = 11)
year <- rep(c(2010:2020), times = 2)
col_1 <- c(1, 17, 34, 788, 3, 4, 78, 98, 650, 45, 20,
           23, 45, 56, 877, 54, 12, 109, 167, 12, 19, 908)
col_2 <- c(3, 4, 23, 433, 2, 45, 34, 123, 98, 76, 342,
           760, 123, 145, 892, 23, 5, 90, 40, 12, 67, 98)

df <- as.data.frame(cbind(names, year, col_1, col_2))

df <- df %>%
  mutate(col_1 = as.numeric(col_1),
         col_2 = as.numeric(col_2))

I want every numeric column in the year 2018 and later to be rounded with round_any to a value which is a multiple of three (plyr::round_any, 3)
What I tried is this:
df_2018 <- df %>%
  filter(year >= 2018)

df <- df %>%
  filter(!(year >= 2018))

df_2018[, c(3:4)] <- lapply(df_2018[, c(3:4)], plyr::round_any, 3)

df <- rbind(df, df_2018)

In reality, there's about 50 numeric columns and tons of rows. What I tried works in theory but I would like to achieve it with less code and cleaner.
I am new to using lapply and I failed trying to combine it with an ifelse because I don't want it to change my year column.
Thank you for everyone who takes the time out of their day to look at this :)

A: Using dplyr::across and if_else you could do:
library(dplyr)

df |>
  mutate(across(-c(names, year), ~ if_else(year >= 2018, plyr::round_any(.x, 3), .x)))
#>     names year col_1 col_2
#> 1  City A 2010     1     3
#> 2  City A 2011    17     4
#> 3  City A 2012    34    23
#> 4  City A 2013   788   433
#> 5  City A 2014     3     2
#> 6  City A 2015     4    45
#> 7  City A 2016    78    34
#> 8  City A 2017    98   123
#> 9  City A 2018   651    99
#> 10 City A 2019    45    75
#> 11 City A 2020    21   342
#> 12 City B 2010    23   760
#> 13 City B 2011    45   123
#> 14 City B 2012    56   145
#> 15 City B 2013   877   892
#> 16 City B 2014    54    23
#> 17 City B 2015    12     5
#> 18 City B 2016   109    90
#> 19 City B 2017   167    40
#> 20 City B 2018    12    12
#> 21 City B 2019    18    66
#> 22 City B 2020   909    99

A: Using data.table:
cols <- grep("^col_[0-9]+$", names(df), value = TRUE)
setDT(df)[year >= 2018, (cols) := round(.SD / 3) * 3, .SDcols = cols]

Hugely popular area for cycling in Tuscany, perfect place to base yourself for fantastic cycling holidays with many recognised routes on the doorstep with panoramic hill scenery and beautifully sedate river valley runs.
Cycling in Italy is a national pastime, you can often come across large groups of cyclists taking up the whole road in their full cycling gear, or be sitting in a local bar and be invaded by cyclists who have stopped for a quick espresso. put simply it is a serious sport with a huge following.
The area around the house is a very popular route for the sport although it can involve some punishing hill climbs to attain the best views there are still plenty of less steep routes away from the main roads.
If you enjoy mountain biking access to the woods and hills in the area with its many white roads is a perfect place to enjoy the sport.
At the house we can offer great facilities for storage with acess to tools for maintenance and somewhere to carry out any repairs you may have to do, of course with the sport being so popular there are plenty of places to shop for parts and acessories for your bikes too!

[Video 454] Ben Christensen: Don't Build a Distributed Monolith
Is your Web application is getting a bit big and bulky on a single server? You might be thinking of moving to a more distributed, microservice-based architecture. And in many cases, that's a great way to go about things. But microservices aren't a panacea, having their own issues and pain points. What are the trade-offs associated with a microservice-based architecture? How do you define the dependencies (code and API) between the different services? And how can you avoid a "distributed monolith" — a situation in which you have many microservices that are dependent on one another? In this talk, Ben Christensen describes the different ways to think about such microservice- systems, and how to avoid some of the more common pitfalls.

[Video 446] Steve McConnell: Measuring Software Productivity
People in the software industry are constantly talking about productivity. We use languages that will make our developers more productive. We use techniques, such as agile, which are supposed to deliver more value in less time. Some companies rank and pay developers based on their productivity — or outsource overseas because those developers are seen as more productive. But just what does "productive" mean, and how do we measure it? In this Webinar (without video, but with slides), Steve McConnell discusses this issue, and what it means for the software industry.

[Video 445] Barak Michener: Scaling Open Source Projects from 0 – 1000 Commits
A very large number of us use open-source software every day. Many also participate in open-source projects. But if you maintain an active open-source project, then you're dealing with other people's code on a very regular basis. How do you handle this? How do you manage a large number of commits, or pull requests, or bugs, or feature suggestions? When should you define, or enforce, code standards? And what sorts of documentation standards shoudl you put in place? In this talk, Barak Michener shares his experience running a number of open-source repositories and projects. If you are thinking of managing a new open-source project, or becoming an active participant on an existing project, then this talk will help you to consider how to scale your software — not in terms of efficiency, but rather in terms of people, community, and contributors.

[Video 432] Mary Shaw: Progress Toward an Engineering Discipline of Software
We often talk about "software engineering," rather than just "programming" — but that implies that we are acting and working as engineers. The thing is, what does it mean to be an engineer, and to have that kind of discipline? And do we, in the software world, really use engineering in our work? In this talk, Mary Shaw describes what it means to be an engineer, comparing software with such disciplines as civil engineering. She then raises many questions about what we're doing, and how we're doing it — and how we can do it even better in the future.

[Video 419] Jeremy Clark: Learn the Lingo — Design Patterns
Do you use design patterns in your code? Probably — but that doesn't matter, because the term "design patterns" probably sets you on edge so much that you haven't stopped to consider whether you're using them, and what advantages they might give you. It turns out that design patterns make it easy for you to communicate with other developers, to reason about the way in which you're architecting your code, and to take advantage of the thought that many others have put into certain ways of developing software. In this talk, Jeremy Clark describes the reasons for learning design patterns, and then describes several of the most common ones that you're likely using already, even without knowing it.

[Video 418] Dave Thomas: Agile is Dead
For years, we have been hearing that "agile development" will save the software industry. And now, you can't get away from it; every company claims to be agile, with Post-It notes, stand-ups, and tons of training for Scrum masters and the like. But the term "agile" has become a meaningless buzzword, used by companies to describe whatever management wants to do, with a few notes stuck on walls. So says Dave Thomas, one of the original authors of the Agile Manifesto. If that's the case, then what's next, and how should we develop software? In this talk, Dave describes what he means, and how developers should think about projects, communication, and scheduling over the next few decades.

[Video 417] Rob Pike: Go Proverbs
The Go language has become extremely popular in the last few years. This highly parallel, open-source language sponsored by Google is a systems language, meaning that it's meant to be used for high-performance operations where C and C++ currently rule. As Go has matured, developers have found that certain practices make it easier to write and maintain their programs. In this talk, Rob Pike proposes a number of "Go Proverbs," which should help to instruct, direct, and influence developers as they go about designing and implementing their software in Go.

[Video 393] Glen Maddern: The Rise of Modular Style
Every modern programming language has a facility for creating modules, or external libraries. Modules allow you to break a program apart, making it easier for multiple people to collaborate, and for programmers to concentrate on smaller, more easily solved problems abstracting away larger and other issues. Even JavaScript, which has famously failed to include modules for many years, now has such a facility. But CSS, which allows us to describe the design of Web sites, is not modular, which means that definitions are repeated, spread across files, and are generally less organized and abstract than they could be. In this talk, Glen Maddern describes work he has done toward creating CSS modules, including how they work and can benefit developers and designers.

[Video 391] James Lewis: Building Systems that are #neverdone
It used to be so easy to set up an application: You set up a server, write some software, and then update the software over time. But as systems get bigger and more complex, it becomes much harder to write, test, and deploy large, monolithic systems. Over time, we have moved toward microservices, which have their own challenges. In this talk, James Lewis describes our migration toward microservices, and what that means for designing, testing, deploying, and just thinking about such applications. What has changed, what has become easier, and what has become harder?
APIs, Best practices, Clojure, Open source
[Video 390] Philipp Meier: I did the API wrong — Tales of a Library Maintainer
If you create a piece of software, you need to worry about the users. But if you create an API, then your users are people you've never met, who will be using your software on a regular basis — and who will create applications and services based on the API you created. This means that if you make mistakes when creating the API, you'll be forced to live with those mistakes, and support them, for some time. How can you create, and then maintain, an API with a minimum of of fuss, and in a way that you can fix mistakes? In this talk, Philipp Meier describes the mistakes that he has made when writing APIs in Clojure. His lessons are appropriate not only for Clojure developers, but for people using other languages, too.

Q: Training an object detection model on custom data images missing labels for other objects in the dataset. Is it possible? I am working on creating an object detection model that should be able to look at an image (and later watch a video) and label particular objects inside the image. However, in one dataset of "gun", "officer"s and "gun" are the two objects labelled, and if things like batons or riot shields happen to be inside the image they aren't labelled. There is however separate datasets for "riot shield" and "baton"s, because these are objects I want to detect. Equally, these two datasets happen to sometimes have guns inside them that aren't labelled etc etc because they were collected only to recognize those individual objects.
Here is my question:
If I train the model on these datasets, and it is training on the "gun" dataset for example, and see's unlabelled riot shields, will those unlabelled objects in those images conflict with the labelled images when it trains on "riot shield"s and ruin the detection? If so, is there a way to isolate it's training so it doesn't make assumptions about other objects that are unlabelled in images?

A: It's a problem if an object shows up unlabled in a picture. The network is being given conflicting messages about what is and isn't a certain object. AFAIK there's no real way to isolate training. However, you can train on the gun dataset first and then have it run through and label all the guns in the other datasets. The same idea should work for each object you want to detect in other datasets.

Fortinet Receives Recommendation and Increased Rating from NSS Labs for Exceptional Endpoint Protection and Performance
Sunnyvale, Calif. - 10 ноября 2015 года
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) – the global leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, today announced the results of NSS Labs' Enterprise Endpoint Protection (EPP) Comparative Report testing the performance of Fortinet's FortiClient endpoint protection solution, demonstrating a 99.8 percent block rate from the very first minute. Improving upon FortiClient's previous score achieved in April 2015. The increased block rate performance validates Fortinet's continued efforts to meet today's rapidly evolving threat landscape with the most advanced security services, as well as its confidence in continually putting its products to the test with independent third parties.
"It is imperative for enterprises to deploy security products that protect sensitive data whether it is moving across the perimeter or internally within the data center - and host-based products have never been more important in achieving this goal," said Mike Spanbauer, vice president of Research at NSS Labs.
Top-rated Threat Prevention
NSS Labs evaluated EPP products in their ability to protect against exploits and socially engineered malware (SEM) through 24/7 continuous testing over a 24-day period. EPP products must provide robust defenses against SEM and the exploitation of software vulnerabilities, the most common and effective cyber-attacks enterprises face today.
Endpoint devices are often used outside of an organization's network, leaving them vulnerable to hackers who use spear-phishing, social engineering, drive-by downloads or methods like plugging in a corrupt USB drive to gain entry into the network. The evolving methods used by hackers have proven to be highly effective in successfully compromising enterprise data.
Trusted by over 2 million users across the globe, Fortinet's FortiClient endpoint protection helps block a hacker's malicious attempts with advanced virus, spyware, heuristic and reputation-based detection engines that prevent current and emerging threats on a device, website or a physically connected peripheral such as a USB drive. These advanced protection measures had a direct influence on the updated "Recommended" rating from NSS Labs.
Top-rated Advanced Threat Protection
FortiClient's endpoint security solutions extend the power of Fortinet's Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) to end-user devices. FortiClient seamlessly integrates with FortiSandbox to rapidly submit suspicious objects for deeper analysis providing comprehensive protection that detect advanced threats specifically engineered to bypass established defenses. This integration allows for the automatic hand-off of questionable objects for additional inspection, enabling discovery and protection against new malware and zero-day threats, while automatically quarantining malicious files or even the entire device if necessary.
Following on the heels of the recent NSS Labs Recommendation of FortiSandbox, this continued validation of FortiClient Endpoint Protection reinforces Fortinet's position as offering the only ATP solution that is NSS Labs Recommended from Edge to Endpoint.

I love sharing the fun, adventurous experiences we have here, like going to Innsbruck and sledding down a mountain. I share all of this in part to document the experience, and in part to encourage others to do this kind of thing — to travel with your children, to push the envelope of what you think is possible, to explore the world. But, it isn't all sweetness and light, and I want to share that part, too. I was so euphoric from our trip to Innsbruck when I wrote about it the other day that I didn't include the other side of the trip, and I think it's only fair to capture that part, too. Travel with kids is challenging. There are going to be moments where you think, "Why did we do this again? Wasn't this supposed to be fun?" But those moments will pass, and it is fun, and you'll be glad you did it (I am).
It wasn't easy to manage the kids in the hotel room. It wasn't super large, and of course, nothing is child proof. The kids tried to run and around and play as much as possible in the tight quarters, and we were terrified they were going to crack their heads on the sharp table corners, or pinch fingers in a drawer, or break the tv. At one point, Liam did manage to bonk his head on the radiator control knob. (He's ok. It happens.) As opposed to being at home, where we've created an environment where they can have a relative amount of freedom (Liam is in a phase of climbing on tables and then standing up and dancing around, which Benjamin likes to imitate, so they don't get a lot of freedom these days), being in a hotel (or even in someone else's home) requires constant vigilance, which is tiring, especially after a long trip, or a long day of sightseeing.
Then, since the bedtime routine has been discarded temporarily and their sleeping locale is completely new, no one got a lot of sleep the first night. Both boys were up, at various stages, for hours. We all got to bed very early (since we were staying in one room, we all went to bed when the boys did) but it was a rough night. The second and third nights were better, but sleep disruption is pretty much guaranteed when you travel with your kids (and we didn't even have a time zone change to contend with).
There are always public meltdowns and fussiness to contend with. Travel necessitates deviation from the norm. We were definitely off of our regular family schedule. We didn't go back to the hotel for an enforced nap time, and meals happened whenever they could, and were made of what was available (and, unluckily, Liam slept through breakfast and lunch on two consecutive days — poor guy). We mitigated this a little by stocking our room, and our backpack, with snacks and milk (we didn't have a fridge, but since the outside temperature was around freezing, we used our balcony as a fridge) but still, there were moments during our trip that each of the kids were unhappy — very loudly (and, actually, that very nearly goes for Dan & I, too — everyone gets tired and irritable when the schedule is off).
And then, this week, both boys are sick. Benjamin woke up on the second morning with a cough and a stuffy nose, which has gotten worse, and which Liam has picked up (I'm always asking them to share). Our week has yet to get back to "normal" — B hasn't been at school yet this week . . . maybe tomorrow.
But, it's all ok. We had a wonderful time. We will travel again — soon. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing new places, sharing new experiences and having new adventures with my kids. These little things, though I want to acknowledge them, don't come close to overwhelming the positive parts of our trip. We planned for what we could foresee, we adjusted where we needed to, and we were patient with the kids (and with ourselves). We kept our "to do" list short and flexible, and we opted for convenience and simplicity at times (McDonald's for breakfast). We had a great trip, challenges and all, and I absolutely can't wait for our next adventure.

I love this long copy ad from the Ogilvy & Mather archive. It's endowed with more attitude per paragraph than I've seen in years.
Clearly, this ad is from another time.
While dated, the agency self-promo ad contains plenty of sage advice and a call to action. The ad concludes by asking those in need of a new agency to call the agency Chairman in London. Or else.


You wanna' maybe walk me thru why we sit here and let them run roughshod over the top of us — and several, future generations of Americans, too?
Can you draw me a picture of what possesses us to remain silent, having observed Wall Street pillage and plunder, making themselves fabulously wealthy in the process, setting off an unfathomable string of "unintended consequences", noting that "unintended" is a substitute for "who gives a fig"?
Not the least of which is a credit crisis which has wreaked havoc around the globe. And which has managed to unmask glaring chinks in our financial foundation, up to and including the current crisis in Detroit, the student who can't get money for school, the extreme financial duress of the states which, in turn, is giving rise to draconian measures, the world shipping industry at a standstill, the masses who have and who will lose jobs and the 96-year old widow who cannot transfer to assisted living as there is currently no market for her home.
We know which group and what m.o. is the root cause of all the misery. Why on earth would we allow the same group of maladjusted moon-calves to mete out the same m.o. as remedy? It is beyond imagination.
Do we have any idea what it means when the FED — which creates those Federal Reserve Notes which serve as our legal tender — refuses to reveal what is supporting them?
Clearly, it means that they are not proud of the collateral that they have accepted as replacement for the once-pristine backing of US Treasury bills and notes. Thus, it is reasonable to surmise that they have abused rules and regulations by accepting schlock in exchange for money, which transaction is the ultimate responsibility of John Q. Public. That alone, ladies and germs, should be enough to get your BP up.
Know this: We are easy prey and are being dispossessed by the minute. Think about that, will you? By what measure of audacity did they embark on the grand theft of the United States? By what measure of complacency do we allow them to continue to ransack our personal finances?
Perhaps the answer to her questions is that we are sheep, and unable to bear the burdens of citzenship. Time wears away the surface of things, showing the true metal underneath.
One Response to "This crisis will prove that Americans are not sheep (unless we are)"
and us poor sheep have to rely on geniuses like Joan and Fabius to pierce the higher veils for usotherwise how would we ever master hidden complexities such as the apparent fact that there are 200 senators–not 100, liked i learned in first grade.

Q: For an embeddable widget font sizes is it possible to "mock" a root and stick with rem, or just use either px or em? Note: This is not a typical "em vs rem vs px" debate, as there's a rather important caveat.
I am making an embeddable widget that runs via a script tag and one root div being placed on the target page. I'm used to used rem for all of my sizes and using the 62.5% trick, but this is not a viable option for me because the root of my widget may have one size, but the root of the client's site could have another. This would mean all my elements with rem dimensions go wild.
Is there a way to indicate that my root is the one to follow? Or is there some other way of determining my own root font-size independent of the target site?
I've also considered using just em, and doing something like this:
#my-root * {
  font-size: 62.5%
}

The idea being that I could then still use a decimal-based sizing system, although this would obviously become complicated as soon as I try to use a larger/smaller font size.
Is it best just to forego all of that and jsut use px? What are the best practices for third-party javascript widgets?

stop loss size and market noise?
Discussion in 'Beginners Bootcamp' started by borisofoz, Nov 4, 2010.
I'm new and have a few questions if you have the time.
I've opened a practice account and I'm using signals.
They are swing trading signals and you enter a trade with a stop loss of generally 50 to 100 pips.
What I'm having trouble with is that the signals are shooting for 100 pip plus profit movements. .....and most signals have ended at a loss or break even if lucky. However why I am posting is that for at least half of these trades... I have watched the pip profit go up to say 50 pips at least. Just to watch it go back to break even and the deal is closed.
so during this 50 pip profit mark I get a signal to update my stop loss to say entry price. 50 pips behind the current price.
so at this point in time we could close for 50 but we need to keep this 50 pip margin for market noise? price action? are these correct terms?
its tempting to close, but I'm following the signals=discipline.
just asking what size stop loss do others use?
I guess its necessary to keep it at some size to allow the price to oscillate up and down, and hopefully this will give it enough room too move in the average direction we need for profit without hitting the stop loss?
how many pips stop loss do you use?
any help, advice, correction or explanation will be much appreciated.
I think there couldn't be the fixed answer... because the stop loss size depends on many factors, such like what strategy do you use, what market conditions are there at the moment and many other factors.
I fully agree with JohnSkr. SL needed will vary with a pile of factors. If you trade a system with a fixed SL, that SL needs to be very carefully tailored to the pair and the system needs to be set up to only trade under the market conditions it was designed for.
One option to consider. If trades often fall back to entry after going up 50 pips, look and see if you would come out ahead in the long run by closing 1/2 of the position at 50 pips and setting your SL to break even. This cuts your potential profit in half, but also secures 1/2 of the potential profit for trades where the price does reverse back to entry.
o.k that makes sense, that there's different conditions etc.

Single session cellulite treatment shows some efficacy
By Whitney J. Palmer
A single treatment for cellulite, which affects 85 percent of women, can reduce the appearance of fat on patients' buttocks and thighs for five years, according to results of a multi-year effectiveness study.

Presented at the 2018 American Society for Dermatologic Surgery annual meeting, data from Merz, a medical aesthetics company, demonstrated one session with Cellfina, a minimally-invasive procedure designed to reduce cellulite visibility, provides long-lasting improvement for five years, longer than previously believed. Existing data showed the effects remained for three years.
"With this new five-year data, patients and physicians should feel confident that Cellfina is the right step toward proven, noticeable, and lasting results in the improvement appearance of cellulite," said Michael Kaminer, M.D., a cosmetic surgeon and Cellfina group study member. "Creams and other cellulite treatment lead to limited patient satisfaction, while Cellfina patients experience enduring results. The study results confirm what we regularly see in practice."
Cellfina uses tissue stabilized-guided subcision (TS-GS) to stretch and stabilize tissue while simultaneously providing integrated anesthesia delivery and precise depth control of minimally-invasive tissue release. The procedure allows for cellulite dimple release by treating the structural cause - tethered fibrous septae bands. These bands pull the skin down, creating the tell-tale puckering.
To test efficacy and safety, Merz conducted a prospective, multi-centered study with 55 enrolled female subjects who had moderate-to-severe cellulite on their buttocks and thighs. Each received a single treatment and served as their own control. Of that group, 37 participated in all five years, including follow-up assessments at three days, 14 days, one month, three months, six months, one year, two years, three years, and five years.
Independent physician evaluators reviewed the results by analyzing before-and-after professional photos. They applied a 5-point scale to determine efficacy. At five years, the reviewers rated 100 percent of subjects as having noticeable improvement. The average reduction in cellulite was 1.8 points (p<0.0001).
More specifically, based on a 0-5 scale of cellulite severity, patients saw an average 2.1 point improvement at three months, two point improvement from one to three years, and a 1.8 point improvement after five years. Additionally, 93 percent of patients saw more than one point cellulite severity improvement, as did 94 percent at one year, 89 percent at two years, 91 percent at three years, and 87 percent at five years.
Patients also reported high satisfaction rates at five years, the researchers revealed - 78.4 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with their results.

The book on the left is the first issue dust jacket. The book on the right is the second issue dust jacket. Note that the reviews are different.
We are investigating a possible variant of the first edition. The books in this photo are both first editions. But the one on the left has a black and white end band, and the one on the right has a red and white end band. So far we have observed only red and white end band on later printings, and nearly all black and white end bands on first printings. These limited observations suggest that the bands started out as black and white, and were switched to red and white late in the first printing.
Autograph: Signature of Junot Diaz.
I have two copies of the first printing of this book. Both have all of the first printing identification points, but one of them has been printed upside down. What I mean is the text was binded to the boards in such a way that when you're reading the inside of the book, the author's name on the frontboard and the spine text are both printed upside down. I've come across one other instance of this (a book for sale on Abebooks: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=junot+diaz&kn=upside+down&sts=t&tn=oscar+wao&x=0&y=0) and now I'm trying to determine if this flaw increases or decreases the value of the book. I understand "value" is a relative term--one person's treasure is another person's junk--but nevertheless, in terms of book collecting, does someone know what kind of effect flaws such as these have on a book's value? Also, has anyone else come across an upside down copy of Oscar Wao? I'll post this question in the general discussion area as well.

I have to say, the contents of this speech and the reactions in the comments are frightening.
"You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did."
She should have continued: "And here I am to lead those marauding bands."
I thought the same thing when I heard that sentance, my thought was that the maurading band would be the government.
Harvard professor uses the "social contract" anti-concept. Nothing new here, move along.
As a quick rebuttal for this sort of argument ("you need to give something back"), I start the conversation with the question, "Okay. How much then?"
That starts to glue the concept of trade back together: as in, "yes, I agree that people should pay for what they voluntarily make use of, but no, what you are talking about isn't the same thing".
Proceed then to explain why stealing--even if its in the form of "giving" something to an unwilling participant and then charging them some made-up price for it--is wrong. On a practical level, you need to discover the price of the things people pay for, and it's always exciting to talk somebody in circles when they attempt to find a mechanism of price discovery that isn't market-based (the Soviets actually used the USAs prices to do this, for instance).
Anyhow, that's how I'd go about it.
That's really great that you've gotten rich by taking hunks of other peoples' money, Miss Warren. God bless! But part of property rights is, you take those hunks of money and give them back to their rightful owners.
I wrote a piece on Warren's argument. You can read it here.

The Flame of Ulric – Game 1 (Dragon Rampant and Open Combat Mini-Campaign)
Published on 7th April 2021 7th April 2021 by owen
Middenheim, the City of the White Wolf, home to the Cult of Ulric and the greatest city-state of the north has suffered terribly in recent years. Harvests have been meagre and the insatiable attentions of Chaos have been a constant threat, culminating in an unsuccessful 15-day siege by the fiendish Warlord Archaon. Travel in and out of Middenheim has since been hampered by marauding bands of Beastmen and this fortified city still seems to be besieged.
Ar-Ulric recognises the importance of hope in these desperate times and has decreed that a lesser observed stricture of the Cult, that of keeping the sacred flames of Ulric always burning in his holy places, is to receive renewed attention. With that in mind, despite pursuing fleeing forces, he has ordered small groups of his Templars, the Knights of the White Wolf, to travel to all of the temples in Middenland and surrounding provinces bringing the Flame of Ulric with them. Graf Boris Todbringer fully supports this mission and has dispatched contingents of Middenheim troops to aid in this missionary work.
Gunther Reizberg, a venerable warrior priest of Ulric, leads a small force northwards through the Drakwald and into Nordland. The forest is a dangerous place, especially so where it becomes known as Laurelorn, the home of the Eonir, a reclusive community of Elves who abhor outsiders. Gunther's destination is the long abandoned Shrine of the Ranging Wolf located deep in the realm of the Elves…
Stiúbhart and I play a 30 points game of Dragon Rampant using Scenario B, which represents the Middenheim and Ulric force bringing the flame of Ulric to an abandoned Shrine on the edge of the Laurelorn. The Elves are usually tolerant of travellers making their way along the road from Middenheim to Kislev, but a large force of humans with obvious military and occupation intentions will not be tolerated. The Wood Elves force is made up of tree spirits, led by a Treeman called CrannMór.
The game opens with both forces making cautious approaches towards each other. Each force is trying to maintain cohesion, i.e. not letting any elements stray too far ahead.
They close to very close range before the tree spirits are the first to blink!
The opening combats seen the White Wolves badly mauled and forced to retreat. Crann Mór also seizes the flame, but this initial success is short lived.
The General mounted on the Griffon retrieves the flame and Gunther steadies himself to face down six Wild Riders. Between the General and the Swordsmen, they destroy the Treeman. The combined fusillade of the Pistoliers and Handgunners fell some charging Dryads, causing the rest to rout.
Gunther charges the Wild Riders, forcing them to retreat and then rout. The remaining Dryads are severely mauled by the General and Griffon leading to the tree spirit forces fading back into the forest of Laurelorn.
Gunther steadied his mount. The fighting was over, but the animal was still agitated. His battle brothers lay around him, the White Wolves having been destroyed by the sudden aggression from the living forest. He would pray for them later, but for now he needed to ensure the safekeeping of the flame. The troops who had marched with him were still in good order and were beginning to secure the immediate area. They were near the Shrine of the Ranging Wolf now, but their trials were just beginning. Gunther knew the forest would not leave them be. He hoped that Ulric would grace them with his protection, but he didn't expect He would. Ulric's followers needed to look to themselves and their own strength of arms. This is something else to pray for later. If they could not hold back the forest and its myriad denizens he feared this mission into the realm of the Eonir could be short-lived… literally.
Big thanks to Stiúbhart for joining on Zoom to play this game. We plan to play an Open Combat scenario next to represent some close in fighting around the shrine.

Shamelessly Suggesting Visiting Valhalla
Watched a delightful little flick this week. See You In Valhalla is the latest from brothers Jarret and Brent Tarnol. Brent writes. Jarret directs. They both produce. Their star and fellow producer is Modern Family's Sarah Hyland.
Sarah Hyland and Steve Howey in See You in Valhalla. |Image: Arc Entertainment
This is a nice turn for Hyland. Johana is a meatier, more fully realized part than the airheaded — but adorable — Hayley Dunphy on Modern Family. Also, for her freshman turn as a producer, Hyland made some smart choices. Her co-stars have some chops, too, especially Bret Harrison, who plays one of her brothers.
Johana's family is reunited when one of her brothers commits suicide. It's a comedy. About a funeral.
And this would be a run-of-the-mill slightly macabre comedy if it wasn't for Steve Howey. Now, I am a straight-up, unabashed fan of Showtime's Shameless and Howey has been a rockstar as bartender Kev Ball for all five seasons, but I'm telling you, nothing has prepared you for him in this film.
Howey has mastered the art of playing very broad and very specific at the same time. He is completely over-the-top, but at the same time, he's not showy. Consequently, he steals absolutely every scene he's in as Johana's brother's Hawaiian (or maybe Hawaiian-adjacent?) boyfriend Makewi. Pretty as you please, he effortlessly walks away with this movie and leaves you utterly convulsed. He is brilliantly funny and completely worth the price of admission.
As my viewing companion noted when the credits rolled, "He needs to be in every movie ever made from now on." I agree.
P.S. to Fellow Shameless Junkies. Magnus, the brother that dies in this movie, is only seen in flashbacks. Alert viewers will recognize him as Jake McDorman, who, as Mike Pratt, the scion of Worldwide Cup in Seasons 3 and 4, tantalized Fiona with the prospect of a "non-Gallagher" life only to be in inadvertent catalyst for her downfall.

Polaris Bags Top Spot At The Ultimate Desert Challenge 2019
February 5, 2019 | Karan Tripathi
Added in: Motorsport
The Polaris RZR claimed the top spot on the podium at the finale of the Ultimate Desert Challenge (UDC) 2019. In an adrenaline rushing chase, Kabir Waraich along with co-driver Amber Udasi grabbed the pole position with an overall tally of 1090 points during the fifth edition of UDC 2019. Kabir and Amber achieved this feat by defeating thirty-five teams from all across the country. In a close contest, Gurmeet Virdi ensured a one-two finish, driving a Polaris RZR 1000, with 1050 points. During the event, the Polaris RZR was the only vehicle to have 1000+ points in X Cross UDC.
Starting from the Event HQ on February 1st, the UDC 'Offroad' held 3 special stages in Shivbari area on Day 1. On Day 2, four special stages were held in the dunes of Udat village, 1 special stage was held in Nal village, and a night stage was held in Raisar village. Day 3 saw two Special Stages held at Mehrasar village after which the competition moved to the 'X-cross' that witnessed competitors rallying through 8 back-to-back laps of 21 km each.
After a close battle, driving a Polaris RZR Turbo Dynamix, Gaurav Chiripalalong with co-driver Karan Arya emerged as the winners of X-Cross 2019, leading the nearest rival by 18 minutes and 25 seconds. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director and Country Head, Polaris India Pvt.Ltd., said, "Ultimate Desert Challenge is an ultimate combination of Off-Roading, All-Terrain Driving and navigational challenges. I am proud to say that Polaris RZR proved its mettle and this victory is yet another testimony of the tough and rugged DNA imbibed in Polaris vehicles. Congrats to Kabir, Gurmeet and Gaurav for their great performance and winning the UDC".
Mr Dubey added, "The drivers have given a power-packed performance to compete in the most challenging terrain. I would like to congratulate Kabir Waraich on securing pole position at the UltimateDesert Challenge 2019 with RZR racing. The win involved a review of the high output RZR on the parameters of agility, speed, acceleration, manoeuvrability and finally the expertise of the drivers. The other winner, Gaurav Chiripal also displayed power-packed performance and completed this rally by becoming the winner of XCross 2019."
