COLCHESTER has lost the race to become the nation's next city.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced this morning that Essex county town Chelmsford, St Asaph in Wales and Perth in Sctoland had won the competition, launched as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Community group Destination Colchester, backed by Colchester Council, submitted a bid styling the town as Britain's First City - harking back to its status as the Roman capital of Britain.
But the bid did not have universal support - with many living in towns and villages in Colchester borough voicing opposition.
Fellow Essex town Southend also missed out on the accolade.
Does Colchester deserve to be a city? Is Colchester better off staying a town? Post your thoughts below.

Bo Levi Mitchell status 'day-to-day, if not week-to-week'

#Stamps QB, Bo Levi Mitchell (knee) is present at practice Monday… he's done a couple of drills but has skipped the drills involving lateral movement, twists and turns pic.twitter.com/otVg5QofsZ
— Jermain Franklin (@TSNJFranklin) July 16, 2018
With just over five minutes to go in the second quarter against Ottawa in Week 5, Mitchell was hit on the knee by Redblacks defensive lineman Danny Mason, who was flagged 15 yards for roughing the passer. Mitchell was down for several seconds and got up limping but stayed in the game three more plays, long enough to complete the drive which ended in a Calgary field goal. The 28-year-old franchise pivot didn't feel the hit was dirty.
Mitchell went to the locker room before the next Calgary possession and was replaced by back up Nick Arbuckle and didn't return to the game. The 2016 CFL MOP was 16-of-21 for 166 yards and one touchdown when he left for the locker room.
Arbuckle finished the game for the Stampeders, Calgary won 27-3, going 8-of-14 for 84 yards and one TD. Mitchell did return to the sidelines in the second half and watched while still in uniform. Mitchell said there was no structural damage the day after the game.
"It's going to be day-to-day, if not week-to-week," head coach Dave Dickenson said.

Directed by Christopher Columbus, known as a competent children's film helmer, the first movie sets the stage for our odd relationship with the franchise: It provides our mind's eye with all the visuals for when we next sit down to read one of the books, even though we generally think of "Harry Potter" as books. And when we research something on the Harry Potter Wiki, we see film images. In many cases, the mind's eye of the set designers, casting directors, costume designers and special effects crew is the same as ours, as readers.
They bring J.K. Rowling's descriptions to life, with moving staircases, the grand hall, the Quidditch match, the three-headed dog, Wizard Chess and more. The actors look like their characters. On my Blu-ray disc, the 17-year-old special effects hold up well – a bit dated here and there (like McGonigal's transformation from cat to human), but nothing that takes you out of the movie.
Rowling's story came into the world as books, of course, but not just any format of books: True chapter books, with each chapter playing like a short story that could stand alone but also adds a building block to the narrative. Translated to a visual medium, it is tailor-made for a season of television, with each chapter a half-hour episode. However, that's not how the entertainment market worked then or now.
The "Potter" films are thinner versions of the story; it's unavoidable. Although less active agents of their narrative than in later books, Harry and friends do seem to be on a grand journey of discovery in the first book. In the film, stuff just happens to them, and their friendships don't coalesce as firmly as in the book.
While some of this is inevitable, writer Steve Kloves and the editors at times make the film uninviting to people who haven't read the books (I saw the first four movies before reading the books, and remember feeling like an outsider). This stands out in a few instances.
We cut from Mr. Dursley being bombarded by letters to a shack on a stormy island. In the book, Rowling tells us the Dursleys are trying to escape the letters, but that's not easily intuited from the visual transition.
In the book, Dumbledore helps Harry in the final battle. In the movie, we (and Harry) don't see that. So when he doles out points to the trio for their bravery in that final battle, we wonder how he knew about it. Does he have magic powers of perception or something?
In the book, Dumbledore says before the great feast that he'd like to say a few words: "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" In the film, he goes right into a dire warning about the dangerous parts of the castle and grounds. We miss the humorous side of Dumbledore.
Snape (Alan Rickman). Everyone else wonderfully translates their characters from page to screen, but Rickman elevates Snape beyond Rowling's prose. In a story without a traditional film structure, Rickman's softly sinister portrayal — with long pauses even amid a single sentence — is almost enough to give the proceedings a desperately needed focal point.
The Quidditch match. The way the athletes zip and zoom at and away from the camera is thrilling, and the "ding" when a quaffle goes through a hoop is a nice cinematic touch. And unlike the podrace in "Star Wars: Episode I," it's not just a narrative break for a sporting event: Snape is (seemingly) trying to knock Harry off his broom, giving Hermione something to do beyond cheering.
As Hagrid, Robbie Coltrane nails the comedic timing in the running "I shouldn't have told you that" gag.
Professor Quirrell unwrapping his head scarves to reveal Voldemort's face residing in the back of his head is a moment even horror movies would be proud of.
As this is the first entry, I can't compare it to other entries yet. But suffice it to say it's a mixed bag: Very impressive when viewed as bits and pieces, but undeniably stiff as an overall work of adventure cinema – not embarrassing, but also not worthy of what Rowling put on the page. At this point, the bar demands to be raised.


For months now a grassroots pro-EU campaign has been building across the UK, Europe and beyond.
There is a need for an movement based around and working for the people which goes beyond party politics, the issue is too important for that.
Not the sort of "people's movement" politicians talk about when trying to curry favour with us and secure our votes but something which will enable groups of people with similar interests to work with others and put pressure on those politicians.
A movement that is truly driven from the "grassroots" just as originally meant at the beginning of the 1900's and has the weight required to not just influence our political representatives but to compel them to listen and represent our views.
But "grassroots" organisations often dry up and die because they don't have the resources required to sustain the effort.
By sharing the information, the resources and minimising the duplication of effort they can not only survive but grow and achieve the sort of impact they deserve.
The network is strictly apolitical, not affiliated to any political party or governmental organisation but will seek support from and work with political parties and groupings that share the network's aims.

Wildwood Office Park
Cousins Properties was selected in 1982 by IBM to develop a 188,000 square foot worldwide training center as the first major facility at the mixed-use Wildwood Office Park in metro Atlanta. The fast-track schedule dictated design, construction, tenant fit-up and move-in within 13 months. The turn-key project also required that roads and infrastructure be completed within this timeframe. Cousins took care to pay special attention to environmental factors in the project's development, since Wildwood Office Park was bordered by the preserved Chattahoochee River Recreation Area, inclusive of more than 1,700 acres sold to the federal government by Cousins in the 1970s.
Cousins has a successful track record of selecting development sites in areas poised for growth, and the 290 acres of Wildwood Office Park fronting the Chattahoochee River were no exception. During the project's pre-development phase, Cousins established several features that distinguished the project from competitors:
Environmentally-friendly land development: The project location and site arrangements were made in concert with land features. Parking decks were benched into hillsides to minimize visual impact and excavation, and building sites were shifted to preserve trees. As a result, the project received an Environmental Improvement Grand Award from The Associated Landscape Contractors of America.
Commitment to quality: Cousins established a quality-driven protocol for design and construction practices - many of which have been adopted as industry standards.
Cousins delivered the complex project on-time and on-budget, and as a result IBM approached the company about becoming a joint venture partner to continue development of Wildwood - a relationship that began in 1985 and has not only continued, but also expanded to other locations beyond Georgia. Additionally, Cousins' expertise and successful partnership with IBM attracted Coca-Cola Enterprises, General Electric, Georgia Pacific and other regional, national and international companies as tenants at Wildwood Office Park.
Although Wildwood's major focus was as an office park, it was originally envisioned as a mixed-use development. The partnership carefully sold land tracts and outparcels to developers for a Hilton Garden Hotel, retail and restaurants, and a 53-acre residential development inclusive of single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums. In addition, Cousins developed the gated luxury residential community River's Call, featuring million-dollar classic country homes unmatched in the metro area.
Together, Cousins and IBM grew Wildwood from a concept to 300 acres of one of Atlanta's first true live, work, play developments - before the concept was mainstream. In 2004, Cousins completed the largest project sale in Atlanta history at $420 million for six Wildwood Office Park office buildings and eight ground leases, at which time the property was 96 percent leased. The sale supported Cousins' stance that focusing on high quality assets in prime locations is a strategy that continues to deliver exceptional value for its shareholders.

You've been asked to attend a regularly scheduled "report card" conference with your child's teacher, or maybe you've received a special note from your child's teacher asking to see you. In either case, you might be a little nervous.
Relax. Teachers don't want to put parents on the spot. They just like to meet with parents to discuss how to help their students do their best in school.
All children learn in different ways. They have their own individual personalities, and their own listening and work habits. To help students learn new knowledge and skills, teachers must know as much as they can about each child, including their likes and dislikes. No one knows more about these things than you, the parent. No one has more influence over their children than parents.
Teachers need your help to do a first-class job. Working together, you and the teache, in partnership, can help your child excel and have a successful school year.
It's a good idea to ask your most important questions first, just in case time runs out before you and the teacher have a chance to discuss them all. Be sure to ask the teacher for specific suggestions on ways to help your child do better. This is the most important part of the meeting. The feedback provided by the teacher should become part of your action plan. If the teacher says something you don't quite understand, don't be shy. Ask for a detailed explanation. It's a good idea to end the conference by summing up decisions you've made together. If needed, ask to meet again.
What kinds of tests are used? What do the tests indicate about my child's progress? How does my child handle taking tests?
Start immediately with the action plan that you and the teacher worked out together. Discuss the plan with your child. Make sure he or she knows that you and the teacher care and are working together to help them succeed.
To see if the action plan is working, watch your child's behavior and check your child's classwork and homework, daily.
Stay in touch with the teacher to discuss the progress your child is making. Meeting and regular communication with your child's teachers should help build a strong parent-teacher partnership. This is the kind of strong connection that is needed for you and your child's teachers to reach the shared goal of helping your student get the best education possible.

Insights: Alerts In re Cuozzo Speed Technologies, LLC (Fed. Cir., 2014-1301, 2/4/2015)
Written by Paul C. Haughey, Michael S. Pavento, Jennifer L. Blackburn and Troy Petersen
In a 2-1 opinion, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and found Cuozzo's claims obvious in the first appeal from a final written decision in an inter partes review. In doing so, the Federal Circuit found that it did not have the authority to review the PTAB's decision to institute the IPR, even after the PTAB's final written decision. The Federal Circuit also upheld the PTAB's "broadest reasonable interpretation" standard of claim construction, which can make it easier to invalidate a patent in an IPR than in federal district court.
Cuozzo's patent is directed to a speedometer "integrally attached" to a speed limit indicator that uses GPS data to show the pertinent speed limit. Garmin petitioned the PTAB for an IPR of Cuozzo's patent. The petition included various proposed grounds of unpatentability based on several prior art references. The PTAB instituted the IPR for independent claim 10 and its dependent claims 14 and 17, relying on a proposed ground of unpatentability that Garmin had asserted only for claim 17. The PTAB concluded in its final written decision that all three claims were unpatentable for obviousness over two combinations of references disclosing various speedometers and indicators of speeds that violate the pertinent speed limit. In doing so, the PTAB construed the claims using the "broadest reasonable interpretation" standard required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b) and long acknowledged to govern United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) proceedings. The PTAB also denied Cuozzo's motion to amend because (1) Cuozzo failed to establish that the proposed new claims were supported by the patent's written description, and (2) Cuozzo's amendment impermissibly enlarged the scope of the claims.
On appeal, Cuozzo argued that the PTAB improperly instituted the IPR on claims 10 and 14 because the PTAB relied on prior art that Garmin did not identify in its petition as grounds for the IPR as to those two claims (though the prior art in question was identified with respect to claim 17). The Federal Circuit found that 35 U.S.C. § 314(d), which provides that "[t]he determination by the Director whether to institute an inter partes review under this section shall be final and nonappealable," prohibits review of the decision to institute an IPR, even after a final decision. The Federal Circuit reasoned that, on its face, the provision is not directed to precluding review only before a final decision; it is written to exclude all review of the decision whether to institute review. The Federal Circuit also found it irrelevant that the petition was defective (i.e., that it did not allege the same ground of unpatentability for the dependent claims as alleged for the independent claim) because a proper petition could have been drafted. Specifically, the Court determined that there was no bar to finding claims 10 and 14 unpatentable based on the references presented for claim 17. The Federal Circuit did acknowledge that mandamus may be available to challenge the decision to grant a petition to institute IPR after the PTAB's final decision in situations where the USPTO has clearly and indisputably exceeded its authority. However, the Federal Circuit held that this was not the case here.
The Federal Circuit found that while the America Invents Acts is silent on its face about whether the broadest reasonable interpretation standard is appropriate in IPRs, the statute conveys rulemaking authority to the USPTO, and the USPTO had properly adopted broadest reasonable interpretation by regulation. Additionally, the Federal Circuit found that the broadest reasonable interpretation standard has been applied by the USPTO and its predecessor for more than 100 years in various types of USPTO proceedings. In the Court's view, there is no indication that the AIA was designed to change the claim construction standard that the USPTO has been applying. Therefore, the Federal Circuit found that "[i]t can therefore be inferred that Congress impliedly adopted the existing rule of adopting the broadest reasonable construction." In dismissing the argument about the difficulty in amending the claims, the Federal Circuit stated that "[a]lthough the opportunity to amend is cabined in the IPR setting, it is thus nonetheless available. The fact that the patent owner may be limited to a single amendment, may not broaden the claims, and must address the ground of unpatentability is not a material difference."
Next, the Federal Circuit reviewed the PTAB's claim construction according to the Supreme Court's decision in Teva Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 831, 841 (2015). The Federal Circuit found that the PTAB correctly construed the term "integrally attached." Claim 10 recites both "a colored display" and "a speedometer integrally attached to said colored display." The PTAB therefore required that the speedometer and the colored display be "discrete parts physically joined together as a unit without each part losing its own separate identity" in order to give meaning to the term "integrally attached" in the claim. Under the PTAB's construction, the claims were obvious in view of the prior art, because at least one embodiment was obvious.
Last, the Federal Circuit found that the PTAB properly denied Cuozzo's motion to amend. The test for improper broadening of claim scope in an IPR is that a claim "is broader in scope than the original claims if it contains within its scope any conceivable apparatus or process which would not have infringed the original patent." Because proposed claim 21 would encompass an embodiment not encompassed by claim 10, it is broadening, and the motion to amend was properly denied.
Judge Newman dissented, finding that the majority's rulings were contrary to the legislative purpose of the AIA, which is for IPRs to act as a surrogate for district court litigation. Judge Newman wrote that the heavy legislative emphasis on the differences between reexamination and the new procedures under the AIA indicated that IPR is meant to be adjudicative. Therefore, the PTAB must apply the same procedural and substantive law as the district courts, and not the "broadest reasonable interpretation," which is a tool of examination. Judge Newman also found that the "purpose of the 'nonappealable' provision apparently is to bar interlocutory proceedings and harassing filings by those seeking to immobilize the patent or exhaust the patentee," and not to impede all judicial review.

John Krasinski Admits He Went Through an "Existential Crisis" After Daughter Hazel's Birth
Jan 25, 2016 3:34 pm·
It seems becoming a first-time dad wasn't easy for John Krasinski!
In a new interview, the 36-year-old actor confessed he went through an "existential crisis" when he and his wife, Emily Blunt, welcomed their daughter, Hazel, in February 2014.
John, Emily and Hazel in January 2015.
"I went through some really serious stuff. There is a mirror that is held up to me now. You have someone watching you. You have to lead by example. [I'm focusing on being] a better person every single day," The Office star told People.

"I got to understand my parents better. I got to understand my wife better," John said of becoming a father. "I got to understand how lucky I am to be in the fox hole with someone I can rely on 150 percent."
John and Emily in January 2013.
John also credits his 23-month-old child with positively affecting his acting career. "I had my daughter in February and then we shot [my new movie The Hollars] that April," he said. "Those [few] months changed my life. They are the reason the movie is what it is."
John and Emily, 32, first became an item in November 2008 and married in July 2010. The Devil Wears Prada actress previously dated singer Michael Bublé from 2005 until 2008.

Hindu Unity in Kerala not far off: Hindu Aikya Vedi meet
The 10th Kerala state conference of Hindu Aikya Vedi (Hindu Joint Council) which began at Thiruvananthpuram on April 4 noted that vote bank politics practiced by political parties in the state has resulted in a peculiar situation in which organized religions are cornering all benefits from government.
Officials and politicians are afraid to speak for the welfare of Hindu community. Those who speak for Hindus are being branded as fascists and communalists and this discourages many from speaking for the cause of Hindus in public, noted different speakers.
Swami Viviktananda Saraswathi, Kerala state head of Chinmaya Mission noted that like the British who ruled India by the policy of divide and rule, present day politicians are ruling the country dividing Hindu society and making them fight each other. But the day when all castes among Hindus unite is not far off and signs of Hindu unity are evident. This is a welcome sign and a warning to those who thrive by exploiting Hindus, noted Swami.
Swami pointed out that Hindus had been open minded and had accepted noble ideas from all streams of thought. While Hindus tried to enrich their religion through knowledge, others tried to increase the number of followers, he noted. Pointing out the dangers in the current lopsided demographic change in Kerala, Swami said at the current rate it is likely that Hindus might become a minority in Kerala.
He said he was happy to see leaders of different Hindu castes at Hindu Aikya Vedi meet. Leaders of different forward castes, backward communites and scheduled castes and tribes in Kerala were present at the meeting. The meeting will conclude with a rally and public meeting on April 6.

It is more than just the hot nail polish colors and the trendy runway hues for the season out there that you need to keep track of, there is a lot more going on with nail trends than you may think.
One of the hot new nail trends to emerge is something called the Ombre Nail Trend or Ombre Nails or whatever it is that the fashionistas are calling. The Ombre Manicure is something that you either love or hate and is apparently one of the hot trends for this Summer/Spring season of 2011.
The style is popularized by TV personality, author and fashion designer Lauren Conrad and it involves doing your nails in different colors.
Not only does each nail have a different color, but the color also goes from light to dark, a gradation of color if you like.
Now admittedly fashion house of Chanel is arguably one of the biggest trendsetters in the world, so when their models turned up on the runway in a nail paint shade called Mimosa Yellow, people sat up and took notice.
So if yellow is the color of nails this season, we wonder how many of us would prefer to be untrendy?
Another hot new designer nail trend is Crackle finish nail art, as sported by rockstar Katy Perry and tennis player Serena Williams.
This is apparently the must have nail look that gives that 'shattering' impression – a crackled or marbled effect of a contrasting color over a different color below – now if we were being unkind we could just say that this looks like really badly chipped nail polish but the trendy teen crowd is all gaga about this new look.
The gel nail polish or the Shellac Manicure is just a very good idea because it is just a lot longer lasting than your regular nail polish. So if you have the kind of hard working hands that slave over a hot stove or tap away incessantly at a computer keyboard, then this may be just the thing for you.
The gel content in the nail paint is what gives it its longer lasting hue without chipping. After application, when exposed to UV light, it dries immediately, and offers a high gloss finish for a longer duration. Bright summer color options means that you can have fresh looking and impeccable nails for longer.

Telesynergy Research Motherboards Driver Download For Windows 10
Four drivers from ASUS and GIGABYTE come with several vulnerabilities that can be leveraged by an attacker to gain higher permissions on the system and to execute arbitrary code.

Telesynergy Research Motherboards Driver Download For Windows 10 Laptop
Nearly every hardware manufacturer in the world has a website with detailed support information including driver downloads, manuals, troubleshooting information, etc. To continue with the example from above, we were able to research that information online to reach the NVIDIA GeForce Drivers page to download the driver we needed. Welcome to Lenovo Technical Support Drivers, Updates, How-To Guides, Technical Help and more Lenovo is replacing distrusted GeoTrust certificates with new DigiCert certificates. GeoTrust will not be trusted by major browsers as early as October. Download new and previously released drivers including support software, bios, utilities, firmware and patches for Intel products.
In total, there are seven vulnerabilities affecting five software products, and researchers wrote exploit code for each of them. Many of them might still be unaddressed.
Two of the vulnerable drivers are installed by the Aura Sync software (v1.07.22 and earlier) from ASUS and the flaws they carry can be exploited for local code execution.
The drivers from GIGABYTE are distributed with motherboards and graphics cards of the same brand as well as from the company's subsidiary, AORUS.
The vulnerabilities lead to privilege escalation via software like the GIGABYTE App Center (v1.05.21 and below), AORUS Graphics Engine (v1.33 and below), the XTREME Engine utility (v1.25 and earlier), and OC Guru II (v2.08).
Three bugs found in ASUS' GLCKIo and Asusgio drivers
Aura Sync is a utility that enables the user to synchronize the lighting via RGB strips used with compatible products such as motherboards, graphics cards, and peripherals (keyboards, mice) for a personalized gaming experience.
When added to the system, Aura Sync also installs the GLCKIo and Asusgio drivers, which are vulnerable to CVE-2018-18537, CVE-2018-18536, CVE-2018-18535 security bugs that allow code execution.
Diego Juarez, exploit writer at SecureAuth discovered and studies these flaws; the security company disclosed them responsibly but after releasing two new versions for Aura Sync, ASUS still left two of the vulnerabilities unaddressed, the researchers say in an advisory published today.
CVE-2018-18537 can be exploited in the GLCKIo driver by writing an arbitrary 'double word' [DWORD] to an arbitrary address. To demonstrate the flaw, the researchers created a proof-of-concept (PoC) that ends with triggering a system crash.
The second glitch, CVE-2018-18536, is in both the GLCKIo and Asusgion drivers and consists in exposing a way that permits reading and writing data from and to IO ports.
'This could be leveraged in a number of ways to ultimately run code with elevated privileges,' says SecureAuth
They showed the possible effects of the bug with a PoC that rebooted the computer, although it could be used for more damaging results.
CVE-2018-18535 was discovered in Asusgio and it also exposes a read/write method, this time for model-specific registers (MSRs). It could be leveraged to run arbitrary code with the highest privileges (ring-0, reserved for the operating system kernel).
MSRs are control registers particular to the CPU architecture that provide access to CPU features for debugging, or performance monitoring, or program execution tracing. They can be accessed via privileged instructions 'rdmsr' and 'wrmsr' that can be executed only by code with ring-0 privilege level.
A PoC from the researchers shows that CVE-2018-18535 in the Asusgio driver allows insecure access to MSRs by leaking a kernel function pointer that bypasses the kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR). The result is an instant BSOD (blue screen of death).
Broken communication
According to the disclosure timeline published by SecureAuth, the communication with ASUS began in November 2017. ASUS acknowledged a draft report with the vulnerabilities on February 2, 2018, and 19 days later said it would update the Aura Sync utility in April.
On March 26, ASUS informed SecureAuth that the vulnerabilities were addressed; that was the last reply from ASUS, SecureAuth says.
The security company asked for clarifications when it noticed that an update for Aura Sync in April still included the security faults. A subsequent release for the software became available, spotted in May, and SecureAuth determined that it fixed only one of the three problems.
GIGABYTE drivers allow interaction with non-privileged processes
Juarez also analyzed GPCIDrv and GDrv drivers from GIGABYTE and found that they can receive system calls from non-privileged user processes, even those running at a low integrity level, considered by Windows to run code that is not trusted.
The first vulnerability he uncovered, now tracked as CVE-2018-19320, offers an attacker the possibility to take full control of the system.
To highlight this, Juarez created a PoC for GDrv where non-privileged read/write access is granted to arbitrary virtual memory. Since it is for demo purposes, all his code does is trigger a system crash.
The second bug, identified as CVE-2018-19322, exposes a way to use non-privileged access to read and write data from and to input/output ports.
It affects both drivers from GIGABYTE and enables an attacker to increase their privileges on the system. Juarez' exploit code only reboots the computer, but it could be altered for a more dangerous outcome.
A way to access MSR registers from a non-privileged level is also exposed by GDrv, allowing the possibility to execute arbitrary code with ring-0 permissions.
Identified as CVE-2018-19323, the flaw has been demonstrated with an exploit code that causes a BSOD. The exploit achieves by leaking a kernel function pointer and bypassing the KASLR protection.
Both GPCIDrv and GDrv are vulnerable to CVE-2018-19321 according to the research from SecureAuth. It is a memory corruption glitch that could put an attacker in full control of the affected system.
The PoC provided to BleepingComputer is harmless as all it does is crash the computer but it has the potential to create more trouble than this.
According to the disclosure timeline in the advisory from SecureAuth, the company tried to contact GIGABYTE about the issues starting April 24, 2018, and received a reply six days later.
After several email exchanges that led to no positive result, Gigabyte responded that its products were not affected by the disclosed vulnerabilities.
GIGABYTE communication also unfruitful
The disclosure timeline in SecureAuth's advisory indicates that GIGABYTE did not address any of the issues mentioned above, despite receiving a technical description and the demo exploit code.
In May 2018, 'Gigabyte Technical support team answered that Gigabyte is a hardware company and they are not specialized in software. They requested for technical details and tutorials to verify the vulnerabilities,' SecureAuth discloses.
The last answer received from the hardware company dismissed the vulnerabilities completely, as 'Gigabyte responded that, according to its PM and engineers, its products are not affected by the reported vulnerabilities,' SecureAuth says.
It is challenging to give a single precise definition for the term driver. In the most fundamental sense, a driver is a software component that lets the operating system and a device communicate with each other. For example, suppose an application needs to read some data from a device. The application calls a function implemented by the operating system, and the operating system calls a function implemented by the driver. The driver, which was written by the same company that designed and manufactured the device, knows how to communicate with the device hardware to get the data. After the driver gets the data from the device, it returns the data to the operating system, which returns it to the application.
Expanding the definition
Our explanation so far is oversimplified in several ways:
Not all drivers have to be written by the company that designed the device. In many cases, a device is designed according to a published hardware standard. This means that the driver can be written by Microsoft, and the device designer does not have to provide a driver.
Not all drivers communicate directly with a device. For a given I/O request (like reading data from a device), there are often several drivers, layered in a stack, that participate in the request. The conventional way to visualize the stack is with the first participant at the top and the last participant at the bottom, as shown in this diagram. Some of the drivers in the stack might participate by transforming the request from one format to another. These drivers do not communicate directly with the device; they just manipulate the request and pass the request along to drivers that are lower in the stack.
The one driver in the stack that communicates directly with the device is called the function driver; the drivers that perform auxiliary processing are called filter drivers.
Some filter drivers observe and record information about I/O requests but do not actively participate in them. For example, certain filter drivers act as verifiers to make sure the other drivers in the stack are handling the I/O request correctly.
We could expand our definition of driver by saying that a driver is any software component that observes or participates in the communication between the operating system and a device.
Our expanded definition is reasonably accurate but is still incomplete because some drivers are not associated with any hardware device at all. For example, suppose you need to write a tool that has access to core operating system data structures, which can be accessed only by code running in kernel mode. You can do that by splitting the tool into two components. The first component runs in user mode and presents the user interface. The second component runs in kernel mode and has access to the core operating system data. The component that runs in user mode is called an application, and the component that runs in kernel mode is called a software driver. A software driver is not associated with a hardware device. For more information about processor modes, see User Mode and Kernel Mode.
This diagram illustrates a user-mode application communicating with a kernel-mode software driver.
Software drivers always run in kernel mode. The main reason for writing a software driver is to gain access to protected data that is available only in kernel mode. But device drivers do not always need access to kernel-mode data and resources. So some device drivers run in user mode.
There is a category of driver we have not mentioned yet, the bus driver. To understand bus drivers, you need to understand device nodes and the device tree. For information about device trees, device nodes, and bus drivers, see Device Nodes and Device Stacks.
Our explanation so far over simplifies the definition of function driver. We said that the function driver for a device is the one driver in the stack that communicates directly with the device. This is true for a device that connects directly to the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The function driver for a PCI device obtains addresses that are mapped to port and memory resources on the device. The function driver communicates directly with the device by writing to those addresses. However in many cases, a device does not connect directly to the PCI bus. Instead the device connects to a host bus adapter that is connected to the PCI bus. For example, a USB toaster connects to a host bus adapter (called a USB host controller), which is connected to the PCI bus. The USB toaster has a function driver, and the USB host controller also has a function driver. The function driver for the toaster communicates indirectly with the toaster by sending a request to the function driver for the USB host controller. The function driver for the USB host controller then communicates directly with the USB host controller hardware, which communicates with the toaster.

This post is sponsored by Marks and Spencer. I only work with brands I truly enjoy, so thank you for helping me to support them.
We've got almost a month left of summer, and if you're like me you probably need some new summer clothes. I've found some great picks at Marks and Spencer! If you've never shopped at M&S, let me share with you some of my favorite new arrivals they have, perfect for your vacation fashion!
This yellow dress and these pom sandals are by far my favorite part of my summer vacation fashion wardrobe! The sandals go with so many of my outfits as they have yellow, red, pink, and blue in them. And this dress! Not only is it a great staple piece for summer vacation fashion, but you can transition it to fall. Yellow is going to remain an on-trend color, and this little number with a leather jacket would be so cute!
Marks and Spencer has several other new arrivals that I adore! These nautical sandals with this striped bag would be perfect for the beach. I'm also crushing on this combo: red maxi dress and braided sandals. What are some of your favorites for this summer vacation fashion?
I am not usually a fan of yellow but I really like that dress. The color is so bright and cheerful for summer!
Your outfit look gorgeous! These Pom sandals looks so nice and comfortable. I like the design its very nice and unique and it goes well with the yellow dress.
That yellow looks great on you! I wish I could rock yellow but it's not for me. Give me that in a purple or pink and we are talking!
I love the yellow dress! It looks so comfortable while being fashionable all at the same time. The hat is a fabulous acessory to it!
I LOVE the color of this dress. So pretty. And that hat is amazing too. I feel like I need those shoes as well. I'm all about flats.
That dress looks phenomenal on you! Normally I avoid yellow as I have blonde hair but now after seeing how good it looks on you, I want to give it a go! And the sandals are just gorgeous.
All of these looks are great on you! the pom sandal is styled so differently!
So much for the fashion rule of "Don't wear yellow as a blonde." You sure that one wrong! Love those little sandals as well, the pom poms are so cute.
I absolutely love your style! One of my hardest things when wearing dresses is finding perfect shoes to match, I love the sandals you picked to go with the dress.
Such a matching outfit that goes well with your complexion. You look so cute and pretty.
Seriously, I am in love with this dress too. Perfect fit, shapes the body well and the material looks premium.
That's a beautiful dress and you look amazing in it. I like the whole look of earings with the dress as well. It's just a really good look for you.
You pull that off so well! I really love the yellow, you don't see it enough.
M&S has always been on my radar and I love them to bits as well! I especially love the hat and the yellow dress is beautiful on you!
That yellow dress is so beautiful, just my fave colour. I love M&S for great quality.
yellow is one of my favorite colors. This dress is so cute!
Marks & Spencer I have not heard of before but will have to check them out for sure. They have some amazing items for summer. I love this yellow dress and these pom sandals. Thanks for sharing these awesome summer items.


"What happens when you invite a bunch of shallow reality tv show stars to a geek wedding complete with Gollum from the Lord of the Rings? If you're one of the girls on tv, you'll be disgusted. If you're a geek who likes off-beat weddings though, you'll enjoy the pure hilarity of their responses."


Spring is in the air & the beautiful flowers are starting to bloom everywhere, which makes it even more amazing when flowers are implemented into our everyday lives. If I could have fresh flowers everyday I would…but I'd go broke refreshing them in every room… every day…. not to mention, I absolutely hate seeing them wilt. So for me, I spend a lot of time searching for the "Perfect Flower" and then I take a lots of pictures. I also change my wall art according to season in my office to keep it fresh. Thankfully, I live near Longwood Gardens which is always in bloom and always has something unique on display, so I have an endless supply of beautiful botanicals to work with year round.
Most people do not realize the benefits we get from having these interesting little plants in our home. We see floral arrangements and floral wall art in the spas and massage parlors we visit. Most people think that the floral art was chosen to match the delicate décor that is supposed to project serenity. In part that is true, these locations should have a sense of relaxation and peace. However, there is so much more that we get from them or from viewing them than we think.
According to science, the hippies from the 60's had it right with their peaceful protests, "flower power" and free love. Scientists are now finding that there are a number of mental health benefits, besides temporary relaxation, when patients view flowers and plants. For example, patients in the hospital needed less postoperative pain medication when their rooms were decorated with bright flowers, floral wall art and lush greenery. Also, patients had lower systolic blood pressure and pulse rates during their stays.
To me, that tidbit of information is fascinating and intrigued me enough to dig a little more to see if there were other benefits. Why? Because our living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms are not hospital rooms (I hope not anyway). If the presence of flowers, floral art and plants do so many wonderful things for hospital patients in recovery, what benefits do they offer for healthy people?
We all have times that we feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and tired; studies have also shown that flowers, floral / botanical art, and plants also help reduce all of those feelings. Which in turn also helps us sleep better and improves our overall state of mind. In fact, studies have shown that simply viewing roses for a few seconds can be an instant stress reliever… even while at work. Seeing the colors, the lines, the symmetry and patterns trigger "feel good" nerves in our brains to release Juju happy juices through our bodies…thus resulting in the release of tension.
So if you're like me and can't afford to have fresh cut flowers daily in every room, the next best thing is artwork. (Hey, at least we don't need to water the art 😊). Here are 29 example of stunning floral wall art. Let us know which pieces speak to you the most.
Not all the work shown below is mine. So, if you would like more information on any of the wall art shown in this article, click on the image or the link in the caption directly below the image.
Framed wall art is classy. You can never go wrong with a beautifully framed and matted wall art print to pull attention to the stunning details of the artwork inside the frame. The frame really keeps your eyes focused inside the mat board and on the piece. If you like to change up your artwork frequently, framed prints are the way to go. You just simply replace the image inside for a whole new focal point.
Canvas prints stand out and last! Canvas wall art prints are stretched on gallery wrapped canvas; they often come ready-to-hang and do not need frames or glass for protection. The benefits to canvas wall art prints is their durability and because of the material, their ability to maintain vibrant colors over decades. If you want to cherish your artwork for years to come canvas is the way to go. (The examples below are all ready-to-hang).
Metal wall art prints and posters are becoming very popular lately because of the vivid coloring and astounding longevity. These prints are not only good for indoor areas but they can also decorate outdoor living spaces too. It's still best to keep them out of direct sun but if you have a shaded area or a seasonal room these prints are a perfect fit.
Printing on wood is also an up-and-coming trend in the world of art. It not only offers you a beautiful piece of artwork to look at, such as the example below, but it also offers you a creative way to display them. You can display the wood panels as shown below or get creative and scatter them or adjust the positions to utilize more space.
Focal wall murals or accent wall murals are an extremely powerful way to add floral / botanical art to your living or work space…without a mess! Most wall murals use to be hand painted, you had to deal with the paint fumes, hours…weeks..or even months to complete, and they were difficult to remove but now, that has all changed. The examples below are super easy to apply and remove which makes them perfect for temporary locations such as apartments, dorms, kids room…but still durable enough to be added to a location permanently….and no nasty odors.
Flowers in art are going to be eternally beautiful. No matter what part of your home or work space you add them to it will be an undoubted improve to the look and feel of the space almost instantly…as a result an improvement in your own mental state. Choose what's in season or what you find beautiful…either way, you can't go wrong.

For me, spring always feels like it's time to reorganize, redesign, or redecorate my home and work spaces. I guess because mother nature has purged herself and is now showing signs of colorful life again…or maybe I'm just weird…(let me know if you feel the same during spring).
Anyway, this year we decided to take on redecorating our living room and dining room, it's been a few years since we updated the rooms so I think its time to brighten them up and add fresh new art prints. (When I say "we" it means "I" decided and hubby goes along with it lol) So, while I'm going this "spring nesting" phase (his words), I've put my wall art & fine art prints, as well as the printable art & digital backgrounds for you devices, on sale for all of those that are going through a spring rejuvenation spell like me 😉.

HRC to open 3 offices to Fight Dan Patrick's Bathroom Bill
The Texas Transgender community welcomes HRC with open arms in our fight to retain our humanity
Added by Texas Tribune on January 28, 2017.

Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to open Texas offices to fight "bathroom bill"
by Alexa Ura,The Texas Tribune
With Texas Republicans working to pass their own version of a "bathroom bill," one of the nation's most prominent LGBT civil rights organizations is opening offices in Texas to fight it. The Human Rights Campaign is setting up three field offices in Austin, Houston and Dallas for the legislative session and have set their eyes on defeating Senate Bill 6 and other anti-LGBT legislation that's been proposed by Texas lawmakers. This is the first time the organization will have full-time staff in the state, and they will be working with organizers on the ground in Austin, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.
"This is a significant investment that we'll be making here in the state," the organization's president Chad Griffin told The Texas Tribune. "There's an estimated nearly 800,000 LGBTQ eligible voters in this state … and they are ready to be organized and activated."
The move comes amid a growing fight over SB 6, which would require transgender people to use bathrooms in public schools, government buildings and public universities based on "biological sex" and would pre-empt local nondiscrimination ordinances that allow transgender Texans to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity.
The measure, one of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's legislative priorities, faces fierce opposition from the state's major business group, tourism bureaus across the state and LGBT rights advocates who have decried the proposal as discriminatory against transgender people and bad for business.
The Human Rights Campaign fought against a similar measure passed in North Carolina last year, which was estimated to have cost the state millions in canceled events and business expansions.
Patrick's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Though there is virtually no evidence that transgender-inclusive policies have led to an increase in sexual predation in bathrooms, Patrick has maintained that SB 6 is aimed at preventing men from entering the women's restroom under the pretense of being a transgender person and is not discriminatory.
"Does anyone in here who has grandchildren, have a granddaughter who's 8 or 9, want them to walk into a bathroom with a man?" Patrick said at a recent Tribune event.
As part of the Human Rights Campaign's ramped-up efforts in the state, Griffin said they're planning to mobilize constituents around the bathroom legislation "to ensure that the voices of fair-minded Texans are heard throughout this legislative session."
"In addition to listening to the business community, Dan Patrick should take the time to get to know transgender Texans and their families," Griffin said. "What he'll find is that they're just like everyone else — they're his neighbors, they're his fellow congregants at church — and when he gets to know our community it's going to make it harder and harder for him to hold these hateful views against us."
Despite a Republican-controlled Legislature, the measure is expected to face an uphill battle at the Capitol. In announcing the bill this month alongside its primary author, Republican state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst of Brenham, Patrick admitted himself that he was in for a "tough fight" in the Texas Legislature. But since then, 10 additional Republicans in the Senate have signed onto the bill as co-authors.
Still, the measure hasn't been endorsed by a majority of Republicans outside the Senate. House Speaker Joe Straus has made clear that legislation regulating bathrooms is not the "most urgent concern of mine," and he's said lawmakers should be "very careful" about doing anything that would negatively impact the state's economic competitiveness.
Gov. Greg Abbott for his part has remained neutral on the legislation even as pressure builds on him to weigh in on the proposal.
Read related Tribune coverage:
The so-called bathroom bill has drawn national attention to the Texas Legislature. But what would the proposed bill actually do? We've annotated the text to explain in plain English how the bill would impact communities across Texas.
Following North Carolina's lead, Texas Republicans have unveiled Senate Bill 6, which would require transgender people to use bathrooms in public schools, government buildings and public universities based on "biological sex."
For Benjamin Elder, a transgender 10-year-old from Friendswood, the bathroom fight in Austin is just silly.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is calling for "a healthy relationship" between political parties in the country, especially the NPP and the National Democratic Congress, which have governed the country since the fourth republic.
Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Obiri Boahen, who made the call for truce Saturday, explained the duopoly that has characterised the country's politics will continue for a very long time hence the need build bridges between the two parties.
"It is extremely important that a healthy relationship is maintained between the two of us [NPP and NDC] for the welfare of this country," he said at the ongoing National Delegates Congress of the NDC in Accra.
While he acknowledging the cooperation between the two parties over the years, he said "it will be hypocritical to fail to acknowledge the rising incidence of acrimony, mudslinging, politics insults and character assassination which is slowly creeping into our body politics".
He observed the country's media space has been inundated with the use of intemperate language, propaganda, insults and pure lies, which he noted, poisons the political atmosphere.
Such situation, he said, gives a cause for concern because it "tends to run down the otherwise enviable reputation Ghana has carved for herself as a beacon of hope and bastion democracy on the continent of of Africa and beyond.
"We cannot continue down this road and scare the good people of Ghana away from the opportunity to serve our country in dignity," he stated, and urged politicians to live by example by respecting the values and virtues of society.
He advised that "tolerance, decency, and discipline must guide the way we interact with each other".
