During the 1999-2000 influenza season, the level and timing of flu activity appears within range of the previous 5 years.
Andrea Winquist, M.D.
In most areas of the country flu activity now appears to be decreasing. The 1999-2000 flu season peaked during late December and early January. The predominant viruses isolated this season were well-matched to this season's vaccine. These viruses, influenza A (H3N2), are antigenically similar to the viruses that have predominated since the 1997-98 influenza season. During the 1999-2000 season, flu activity, as detected by three of four influenza surveillance systems, have been within the range seen during the previous 5 years. The findings of pneumonia and influenza mortality surveillance from the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System (the fourth influenza surveillance system) are difficult to compare with previous years because of significant changes in the system this year.
Note: This article ONLY is not embargoed
As recommended by CDC, New York City and New York State Departments of Health collected hibernating Culex mosquitoes this winter.
CDC's Fort Collins, Colorado, laboratory tested the collections from New York to determine if West Nile virus might persist throughout the winter and possibly initiate a transmission cycle this spring. Not unexpectedly, 3 of the 69 pools containing adult Culex pipiens mosquitoes, collected in New York City in January and February, had low but detectable levels of West Nile viral RNA. The positive mosquito pools were collected from Fort Totten. The public health significance of the identification of West Nile viral RNA in overwintering mosquitoes is unclear, and whether West Nile virus will persist in the New York area also is uncertain. However, CDC recommends continued vigilance in surveillance to detect mosquitoes, birds, or people infected with the West Nile virus. CDC further recommends eliminating breeding areas and early application of larvicides to Culex larval habitats to reduce the potential for the West Nile virus transmission cycle to recur.
A review by CDC and outside experts has identified shortcomings in a previous report of acute pulmonary hemorrhage/hemosiderosis in infants living in Cleveland.
In December 1994 and January 1997, articles in the MMWR described infants from Cleveland with pulmonary hemosiderosis due to exposure to the molds Stachybotrys chartarum (commonly called, Stachybotrys atra). However, a review by CDC and other experts has determined that the association between the mold and illness in the infants was not proven. Serious shortcomings in the collection, analysis, and reporting of the data in the previous studies resulted in inflated measures of association, and restricted interpretation of the reports. Copies of the report of the working group are available online at http://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/

At the 1990 Northern Lights Festival Boréal, Keelaghan and guitarist Oscar Lopez participated in a collaborative workshop exploring the fusion of Celtic and Latin music. The duo would later collaborate on two albums, Compadres and ¿Buddy Where You Been?, further exploring that theme.
In 1994, he won the Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year - Solo for My Skies.
In 2003, Keelaghan won first prize (Folk Category) of the 8th Annual USA Songwriting Competition.
Frequent guest musicians on his albums include Stephen Fearing and Hugh McMillan of Spirit of the West. His latest CD, House of Cards (2009), produced by Keelaghan, is a collection of ten new original songs, some co-written with Karine Polwart, David Francey and others. The cd has been receiving critical praise both in Canada and abroad.

Q: Errors Running WebGoat 7 on Tomcat I am trying to run WebGoat on a standalone Tomcat7 server. I placed the "webgoat-container-7.0.1.war" in the Tomcat directory and renamed the file "WebGoat.war".

Am I missing a dependency somewhere? What can I do to troubleshoot?

A: I struggled with this for a while myself. It's possible that you are missing permissions to write the user database file. If your log entries show something like this:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/lib/tomcat7/UserDatabase.mv.db (Permission denied)

Then it would be a matter of granting your tomcat user permissions to the folder listed.

(1 = best, 7 = worst)
In April, a minor member of the governing coalition withdrew its support for Prime Minister Barak Tame Sope. After several attempts by the parliamentary speaker to block a no-confidence motion, the acting chief justice ordered parliament to resolve the impasse, and Sope was ousted in a vote shortly thereafter. Opposition leader Edward Natapei was then voted in as the new prime minister. The new government initiated an inquiry into Sope's dealings with a controversial Indian businessman who was given letters of credit worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and in November, Sope was charged with two counts of forgery.
Located in the southwestern Pacific, this predominantly Melanesian archipelago, formerly the New Hebrides, was an Anglo-French condominium until it became independent in 1980. The condominium agreement divided the islands into English- and French-speaking communities, creating rifts that continue today. In 1999, Prime Minister Donald Kalpokas called on all government ministries to use both English and French, the country's two official languages, in their work.
Politics in the islands are also divided between the English- and French-speaking communities, and factional rivalries contribute to frequent changes of government. The first postindependence government, led by Prime Minister Father Walter Lini's anglophone Vanua'aku Pati (VP) party, largely excluded francophones from key posts. In 1991, a divided VP ousted Lini, who left to form the National United Party (NUP).This split the anglophone vote and allowed the francophone Union of Moderate Parties (UMP) to win a plurality in the December 1991 elections and form a government under Maxime Carlot. Numerous coalition governments have held power in the past five years. In November 1999, Sope, of the Melanesian Progressive Party was chosen prime minister after winning 28 votes in the 52-seat parliament. The new government promised to reduce the power of department heads, to review the recruitment of foreign advisers, and to reconsider the value-added tax.
In 1999, the government introduced the Comprehensive Reform Program after the exposure of alleged corruption and abuses by senior government officials, including reports that several high-ranking politicians were involved in selling passports to foreign nationals. Underwritten by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Comprehensive Reform Program includes an overhaul of state administration and increased private sector development. The government would also reduce the country's public service sector by about ten percent and enact a strict leadership code of conduct. In August, the ADB announced a program to assist Vanuatu's legal sector in order to increase the efficiency of the State Law Office.
To reduce reliance on overseas aid, the country has also been working to develop alternative income sources. The sale of fishing licenses to foreign fishing companies is now an important source of income for the government. Vanuatu was accused by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development of involvement in money laundering activities in its bid to set up an offshore banking industry. It joined seven other Pacific Islands to sign the "Pacific Islands Prudential Regulation and Supervision Initiative" to end illicit financial operations in the region. In late October, Vanuatu completed negotiations to join the World Trade Organization.
Political Rights and Civil Liberties:
Citizens of Vanuatu can change their government democratically. The constitution vests executive power in a prime minister. The unicameral, 52-member parliament is directly elected for a four-year term. A largely ceremonial president is elected for a five-year term by an electoral college consisting of the 49 members of parliament and the 6 provincial council presidents. The 1998 national elections, in which 216 candidates contested 52 seats, were regarded as generally free and fair.
Although the judicial system is generally independent, the government has, at times, attempted to pressure the largely expatriate judiciary in politically sensitive cases. During a four-week nationwide state of emergency in 1998, the police arrested more than 500 suspected rioters in January 1998, and there were credible reports that police assaulted or otherwise poorly treated prisoners. Eighteen police and military officers were charged with intentional assault, but were cleared in 1999 because of a lack of evidence. In 1999, the Ombudsman's Office reported that the country's jails fail to meet the minimum international standards and the constitutional rights of inmates are often violated. In May, an Australian tourist serving a six-month sentence went on a hunger strike to protest prison conditions in Port Vila.
In this multiparty state, there is considerable freedom for the media. There are independent newspapers as well as political party newsletters. In April 1999, the Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation decided to allow pay-television to commence service. In June 2000, the enactment of the Freedom Telecommunications Law ended the monopoly of Telecommunications Vanuatu Limited, and a new bilingual paper, Port Vila Presse, was launched in November. Nonetheless, the government owns most of the country's media outlets, including a television station serving the capital, two radio stations, and the Vanuatu Weekly newspaper. In January 2001, following the publication of a series of reports on government dealings with overseas businessmen, the prime minister attempted to deport the U.K.-born editor of the Trading Post newspaper, Marc Neil-Jones. However, the deportation order was cancelled by the supreme court.
Religious freedom is respected in this predominantly Christian country. Freedom of assembly and association is upheld. There are five active, independent trade unions operating under the umbrella of the Vanuatu Council of Trade Unions, although more than 80 percent of the population relies on subsistence agriculture and fishing. Unions can exercise their right to organize and bargain collectively.
The country's small ethnic-minority communities are discriminated against in land ownership. Women have limited opportunities in education and politics, and recent high-profile court cases involving violence against women strengthened the call for more public education on the issue and for an increase in the number of women in the judicial system. Women's groups also demanded stricter sentences for sex offenders.

Star Filter Plug-in 2.0 for After Effects
Welcome to the world of stars! This plug-in for Adobe After Effects simulates star lens filters (also known as cross screen filters) - it adds star streaks to lights and highlights. It can create a star filter effect with 4 to 16 pointed stars. You can adjust parameters such as angle and size, while seeing the results updated in real time. Optical realism was a primary concern and is achieved with advanced image processing algorithms. You can also observe the rainbow patterns, which are typically visible when using such lens filters, and you can change its parameters for artistic purposes. Because highlights in videos are often clamped, we added a highlight boost feature to extend the dynamic range of such footage. The plug-in also features non-regular star shapes, supports for 16 and 32 bits per channel (float) precision.
Requirements: Adobe After Effects CS5 or newer
Now compatible with El Capitan and CC 2015.
You can download the demo version for Windows here and for Mac here.
The demo version will watermark the image.
Instructions can be found here.
You can purchase the plug-in by following one of the links below:
Windows version €49
Mac version €49
Changes in version 2.0:
- Added the ability to change the color of the star streaks using a color picker.
- Effect can now be applied to text layers.
- Added the ability to set the alpha channel to opaque in order to work correctly with several blending modes.
- The star streaks will now expand beyond the extents of a layer.
- Star size is now proportional to the width of the video.
- Changed the maximum effect blend factor to 500%. This makes sense when using the cutoff feature, which has the side effect of dimming down the star streaks.
- Potentially improved performance on multi-core CPU-s.
- Fixed a problem with the blending formula in 16 bit mode.
- Tweaked default settings.

Blogger for hunters loses Outdoor Life career over "inappropriate" opinion
A sportswriter Jim Zumbo seems to have lost his television program and published columns with Outdoor Life for an opinion that he expressed on the Outdoor Life blog. True, this was done "at work" but it is a good example of where published personal opinions, even those that seem legitimate to a resonable person, can deep-six a career.
The news story is Blaine Harden in the Feb. 24, 2007 Washington Post, "...Remark puts Outdoorsman's Career in Jeopardy," at this link (may require charge or Post online subscription). The remark might have been construed as placing average hunters in a very negative light.
Zumbo suggested that outdoor hunters did not need to use assault weapons for legitimate hunting. The so-called "gun lobby" seems very intolerant of any lack of "solidarity" in its ranks over this issue. Hunters often have more money for campaign contributions to support their interests, but may offend others who are more passionate about the issue.
The news story suggests that lobbying groups are very sensitive to remarks that can drive away potential campaign contributions that would support their causes, or that would cause political fragmentation within their own ranks. This sort of problem could occur with any issue, including eldercare, health care, immigration, or even "gay rights."
That is why people, when they go to work for organizations that represent a particular point of view, should tread very carefully, and consider their real career aims. One wonders if this sort of concern underlies some of the reporter employer "spying" on Myspace and social networking profiles and blogs.
Digital Vigilantes
NBC4, a television station in Washington DC, tonight had a brief report on "Digital Vigilantes," who post pictures, video clips and accounts of misbehavior that they see in public, such as traffic offenses, bad parking, rude behavior, etc. Some of the sites mentioned were Platewire.com and Baddriving.com. Platewire encourages people to join and make their own postings.
I don't see anything wrong with posting bad driving or bad behavior in public places, including license plates. Tracking down people and posting home addresses (reported to be done sometimes) could raise legal invasion of privacy issues.
I often take pictures at political demonstrations and post them. Although I try not to focus much on individual faces, sometimes they show up. If you show up at a demonstration about anything, you could show up in the media. This used to be a problem for GLBT people going to parades.
I don't take pictures while driving (obviously, like cell phone use, a safety problem), although a companion could. I don't personally engage in digital vigilantism, but up to a point it seems legitimate.
The NBC4 report suggested that this is a legal gray area. The report says that digital vigilantes could harm people's "reputations" online, but as indicated before there are companies emerging that offer to clean up digital dirt. See this archive, look for Nov. 30.
For a related story on a local television (WJLA) demo of the ease of locating personal information about others, see this blogger entry.
Feb. 18 1973, a day of famy
Sunday, February 18, 1973, the first day of Pisces, was one of those clear, bitter days in the Northeast when the pollution has been blown away. "The days lengthen but the cold strengthens." The sun was getting higher in the sky, but I think this was the coldest day of a mild winter in northern New Jersey.
The main bus route from Caldwell, NJ went down Bloomfield Ave. descended the Second Wachtung Mountain into Verona (with its pond and pedal boats) and then up over theFirst Wachtung Mountain to descend into lower middle class Bloomfield, which echoed the days of my young adult activism with the Peoples Party of New Jersey (aka Dr. Spock). The bus would eventually wind up in the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 41st Street in NYC.
Today, however, I threaded a different route. I would cross the George Washington Bridge into upper Manhattan, for a "gay talk group" in an apartment building around 96th St and Broadway on the Upper West Side. I didn't know very much yet about the two or three Greenwich Village (s), and I was yet to discover the Ninth Street Center, then in the East Village, and learn all about psychological surplus and psychological polarities. So would an important episode in my life begin, when I would move into the Cast Iron Building in NYC (shown) 19 months later in September 1974, right after Nixon's Watergate resignation and just before Gerry Ford's pardon. Those were the days, my friend, and I miss them. From 1974-1977 I would work as a "mainframe" computer programmer analyst on the general ledger system for NBC in the Rockefeller Center. All very convenient.
The talk group brought together six men, most of them middle aged and tightly bound up in winter sweaters, although there was me, balding at age 29, and a kid named Stuart, who actually tried to talk me into visiting the Everard Baths the following Tuesday night. I didn't go. Instead, I was to go on a "business trip" for my job with Sperry Univac, a short jaunt to Princeton, NJ, for training on Univac 1110 internals. (A computer that is no longer sold, although there are a few installations left.) During the talk group, I asked what kind of men they liked, and most of them surprised me (pleasntly) by saying "older."
This was my "Second Coming," as I document here in my first book, 34 years ago today, the same day of the week on the Perpetual Calendar. The following weekend, I would celebrate with a self-date, skiing at Killington, VT (only stopping briefly at my Espy Road garden apartment -- in those days I left the apartment alone a lot without a thought about security), the only place in the country where you could ski as a beginner "graduated length method" from the summit of a major (4000 ft) Northeastern peak. Only gradually would I assimilate into my new life.
These were the days of Middle Earth, long before AIDS, the don't ask don't tell policy, the gay marriage debate, and for that matter 9/11 and Gitmo. Those were indeed the days. Though they were circumscribed by the closet, le placard. The leader of the group, a bulimic guy named Eric, said that you had to be careful about what the doorman of your apartment building notices. But this was 1973.
Personal website statistics tell me what visitors are considered about
Both of my two main personal sites (doaskdotell.com and billboushka.com) come with Urchin statistics packages that run once a day and tell me the number of page requests and hits on each file, the number of page requests from each major search engine or other domain or link, and even what countries. The reports also tell me the search arguments used by visitors to find the material.
I haven't yet figured out how to get the search arguments from Blogger (maybe somebody knows and can comment). But the Urchin stats on my main domains tell me a lot. I can tell that many visitors are concerned about potential issues that are relatively little covered in mainstream media, such as filial responsibility, certain forms of Internet censorship, potential uncertainties in tax laws or social security benefits laws, various issues with civil unions and domestic partnerships, the possibility of mandatory national service, and, of course, the granddaddy, "don't ask don't tell" for gays in the military and especially what might happen with it if there were a return to the draft. And, yes, on the movie reviews, I can tell that some visitors do have certain body image concerns.
I cannot identify specific visitors, although from server logs I can identify IP addresses for specific searches and, when the addresses are associated with specific companies or government agencies, track them down with a reverse WHOIS search (I cannot identify roving IP's such as AOL or other similar IP customers. Also, fixed IP addresses for high-speed or wireless connections from providers like Comcast or Verizon cannot be easily tracked to individual customers -- that may be reassuring.) In at least once case in 2005, this possibility gave important information about a serious workplace issue in a public school system. It would be possible to determine if someone accessed the site from work (in a situation where an employer forbids outside personal Internet surfing, which is common).
But domain reports are very useful to me in telling me what visitors want, and maybe even what they would pay for. When I learn that visitors have become concerned over some subtle question, I research it and usually modify one of the files on my sites with the information that I found, or, often, develop an appropriate blog posting. Therefore, if you, as a visitor, visit one of my sites with an unusual question, it is likely that you may find some kind of an answer in a few days if I can find something out.
Of course, I always welcome constructive comments or emails (with legitimate questions or reactions.)
Gospel and Biblical levels of individuality
I often hear that the early Christians practiced a very communal and "socialistic" lifestyle, sharing property. And the overwhelming emphasis on the Gospels of Jesus is on charity and sharing with the poor and on a non-judgmental view of the accomplishments or station in life of others. It seems as if the social injustice of different economic and political classes in Roman society in the Holy Lands was taken as a given, and did not need to be questioned.
Today, modern liberalism takes a different view. Class social injustices are to be rectified, and then it becomes much more plausible to view individuals as responsible for their own station in life. But both liberals and conservatives, for different reasons, want to put the brakes on carrying this kind of objectivism in "measuring people" too far. The blood family, or the community or union or other social unit demanding loyalty becomes a moral intermediary.
Today individualism faces challenges from all of those "inconvenient truths" like global warming and pandemics, which could force individuals to place much more personal value on familial or communal relationships in the future than in the past. The path to liberty is not always a straight line. It can backslide, too.
Winning converts, winning arguments, and "fishers of men"
Shortly after my move to Minnesota, and in early 1998, after some time promoting my first book, I was quite active with the Libertarian Party of Minnesota. A strategic debate came up, about winning "converts" as opposed to winning "arguments." Here is a link for one of my pieces.
You hear the same dichotomy in churches. Jesus wanted his followers to go out and recruit people. He talked about "fishers of men", and we can debate whether that refers to casting a net, or to snaring someone on a hook with bait. An interesting parallel comes with Mormon missionaries: young men are expected to go out for two years at their own expense and proselytize their faith – win "converts."
You hear discussions in mental health circles about the relative effectiveness of interacting with "people as people" (associated with extroversion) and "with ideas" (associated with introverts). Many more people like to manipulate others for social position and power than work with the ideas and content, but content-oriented people (and artists) are very adamant about left alone to develop their work. (Look at a review of Laney's "The Introvert Advantage," here (Jan. 22).
I spent thirty plus years in information technology as an individual contributor. I was responsible for making content operational and reliable in a production environment. I made no claims to "power." But after a forced buyout and retirement, I found out what much of the real job market is like, especially for baby boomer "retirees". A lot of people "recruit converts" for a living. I have a background in life insurance and annuities, so a logical expectation is for me to go out and "sell" it. "We give you the words," one recruiter said. It's easier to hire people on commission, of course, because you don't have to budget a fixed salary.
A lot of people make a living my schmoozing and manipulating others. At the extreme, it's just hucksterism. Or it can be management and leadership. I won't pass categorical judgment. For myself, I can only sell something that I had something to do with developing.
One thing about the blogs, websites and databases is to accumulate a mass political and social arguments, and a mass of factual histories (with bibliographic references), organized in a way that visitors can see how all the pieces fit. In a way, it's an expansion of a political book series from Michigan called "Opposing Viewpoints." It's important for everyone to be able to see all the sides to an issue rather than succumb to the agenda of a particular salesman. However, a marketing person could be credible when he shows leadership in his own life and can constructively solve other people's problems and meet their needs in his own personal life.
You run into this kind of problem in the school systems, too. With more mature students who know that it is in their self-interest to do their academic work, there is no real need to manipulate them. Yet educational philosophy is built around the idea of "manipulating" less mature minds so that they learn and find learning rewarding. Less mature students, especially, need confidence in their teachers as role models and as people, regardless of what the content is. Likewise, in business, families often feel that they need confidence in agents or people who service them as "people." That is a problem for me, having spent 30 years living in urban ghettos, somewhat distant from mainstream concerns over family and child rearing, and not having proving myself up to that kind of task in my own life even as the tables turn in this post 9/11 world, One problem, becoming apparent as the global community becomes "reconciled" (as Clive Barker described it in his novel Imajica -- review here -- look on March 28) is that one has to "compete" as a "man" and prevail in order to provide leadership for others. I am very much a prodigal.
If I do become involved in winning converts to someone else's cause (where that someone else "gives me the words") then that cause helps identify who I am and in some sense circumscribes what I may do with my life later.
So, we need to categorize "the Truth", too.
Anything is fair game
Back in junior English (11th grade), when we studied American literature, the teacher annouced, "Anything we cover in class is fair game for tests." That phrase "fair game" sticks in my mind, beyond the idea that it could show up in a multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank item. (I remember the pop card quizzes, and her imploring, "Learn your facts about your authors!" There was a scene like this with an English teacher in the 1957 "American International" (of course!) horror classic "Blood of Dracula".)
In 11th Grade Virginia and U.S. History (the Virginia came first), the teacher was adamant about making the tests all essay, and marking points off for "leaving out" any single point in explaining why something happened.
The "nature of the beast" with political issues is that they are all interconnected, and any one issue has a bearing on many others in subtle ways.
So any subject matter is "fair game" on my blogs and websites. The way a particular subject matter get handled is another matter. But some people have an idea that one is incriminating or embarassing oneself by even dignifying certain disturbing topics. If one is well-adjusted to the competitive demands of the world, why are some of these things even issues?
What one actually says about oneself, either directly or indirectly through a narrative (or say using oneself as a protagonist in a play) is another matter. That gets into the "dreamcatching" idea discussed in earlier postings, and often done on social networking sites (and present a problem for employers when they find it).
More on bloggers and campaigns:
It's interesting to note the media stories this week about some of John Edwards 's (D-NC) paid bloggers being criticized for going over the top with "offensive" language about the president. How can you have integrity if someone else pays you for what to say and you pretend in public that this is your own? (Yet that is ultimately some of what the dispute about blogging and campaign finance reform amounts to.)

DTV conversion mandatory Feb 17, 2009
Just recently, the media has started talking about the mandatory conversion of all broadcast television to DTV (Digital TV) by Fen 17, 2009 (a Tuesday, one day after President's Day).
Retailers are putting together websites to explain all of the consumer options. Best Buy and .CNET have a complicated information center, and Circuit City has a fact sheet that seems simpler to follow. Here is the link to the FAQ fact sheet.
It would appear that television manufactured since about 1998 would have the necessary tuners to work if connected to a cable service. They might not show high definition unless specifically manyfactured as such. The price range of teleivisons offered today is from about $300 on the low end to thousands on the upper end. Most HDTV's have 16:9 aspect ratios to accomodate common motion pictures. (That is 1.78:1 and the standard wide screen is 1.85:1, with Cinemascope usually 2.3:1 (sometimes there are other variations with high definition video). There is considerable complexity with the issue of digital recording, and most boxes from cable companies will probably change. There is also considerable controversy about copy protection (the DMCA) as noted in the last blog; it may be counter-productive except with the most popular, mass-market music and movies (people who like independent and educational films -- sometimes artists or content creators themselves -- are much less likely to disrepect copyrights anyway).
Added to all of this is the controversy about DVD formats, which now appears to be heading toward new machines that can play all formats.
I would sit on this for a while as the details sort out. In another year or so, the picture should be much clearer as to how it will all work. And hopefully (save a bird flu pandemic in Asia) prices will come down.
Steven Jobs suggests giving up on anti-piracy copy protection software
An article in The New York Times today, on p C1, by John Markoff, "Apple Chief Urges Shift on Piracy" reports that Steven P. Jobs, CEO of Apple, is now suggesting that companies sell music without intrinsic copy protection.
In 2006, The Cato Institute had sponsored a forum on whether enforcement of copyrights really helps content creators and publishers, and sometimes it doesn't. There is a link where I summarized this, and I have a blog entry dated Sept 30 on Tim Lee's paper on the DMCA and copyright. On the other hand, the National Writers Union has always vigorously pursued copyright protection for writers, especially electronic reproduction rights.
Jobs's comments reflect a criticism, that all of the copy protection technology is causing devices to be incompatible with many media, and that includes issues for the iPod. There is also a concern that scaling down copy protection for music would put similar pressures on movies and video, where piracy is perceived as a big problem. It would not eliminate the safe harbor take-down provisions of the DMCA.
MySpace and similar sites help solve crimes
A story by Martin Kasindorf in USA Today, Feb 5, 2007, p A3, "Websites host wealth of crime-solving clues" indicates a constructive use of social networking sites. Crime victims and sometimes companies post video of crimes in progress on MySpace profiles or similar sites. A number of students rioting at the University of Massachusetts were arrested based on cell phone videos posted by other students. Police have been tracking social networking sites, YouTube, and sometimes other personal sites for several years. On occasion, persons post valuable tips on these sites or send them to site owners.
Hidden U5 form can blackball financial professionals
A story "Some Brokers Can't Flee Past" on page C1 of the February 2, 2007 The Wall Street Journal, by Joanna Slater, discusses the U5 form that must be filed to the NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers) wherever a trader, broker, or investment banker leaves a securities firm. Supposedly this information is supposed to be confidential, but some of it has apparently wound up in public sources, potentially even the Web. That possibility brings up a topic previously discussed on this blog, about companies that offer to protect "online reputations" of individuals.
Unlike the conventional employment market where employers are reluctant to say anything substantial on reference requests, securities employers use the U5 form to determine if the professional has been involved in misconduct. There are substantial legal impediments to challenging a false U5 form, which apparently resides in a doctrine called "absolute privilege." It is much more difficult to correct than an erroneous credit report. Therefore, a U5 report could blackball a person from working in the industry.
I once started the interview process to become a life insurance agent (in 2005) and I may have seen questions about this form on the application form.

The necessity of strong but easy-to-use trolleys exist across various industrial units and warehouses. The best arrangement is to have trolleys that allows easy transfer of things and requires less space for storage. A nest-able trolley with top shelf can be used for a variety of purposes, such as for movement of stock or for carrying goods from one place of the unit to another.
The nest-able trolley comes with a retractable wide top shelf that can be used as and when required. The retractable shelf can be removed while transferring goods with large size or height. The trolley has a tubular steel body and a wire formed platform base that provide strength and durability to the structure. The trolley requires very small space for storage. It has a carrying capacity of 320kg weight. The swivel castors provide for easy movement of the unit. The low platform base of the trolley makes it efficient for easy uploading and unloading of stock and packages.
The flexibility of the nest-able stock/cash and carry trolley makes it ideal for use across several environments, such as in industries, hospitals, airports, retail spaces, warehouses and storerooms.
NPT5590 - Great product and the customers absolutely love them. Extremely well made for the price and we have 40 of these in our company now and I'm sure we will purchase more.

» T5x models - differences T58A (rev), T56A, T57W?
T5x models - differences T58A (rev), T56A, T57W?
I'm a little bit overwhelmed by the number of different models available in the T5-series.
1) What's the difference between T58A and its hardware revision 2? Some retailers offer both.
2) What's the main difference (regarding features) between T56A and T57W?
- The T56A seems like a stripped-down version of the T58A, without video (also no incoming SIP-video calls?) and door phone features.
- The T57W seems very similar. Lower screen resolution, and seemingly Linux-based instead of Android.

Though to find this out as a customer, you have to compare the datasheets point for point, don't you?

Yes, a reasonable researcher would do that.
I pointed out the obvious.
jolouis
Yealink doesn't really breakdown/explain their naming concepts, but having dealt with them for many years I can give you a bit of brief history to help clarify things a bit:
First phones were TXX series... so T18P, T20P, T22P, T26P, T28P etc. Higher numbers meant more buttons/bigger phone/more features. (if I remember rightly the T18P didn't even have a screen on it). Here, the P actually designated POE support. So they had T22 and T22P versions, one which only worked with power adapter and one which could be power adapter or POE. Eventually as costs of POE circuity dropped the non-poe models went away leaving only the T2xP models.
Then over time they evolved some of the most popular T phones to include gigabit switches. These became the T3x series and were suffixed by "G" to indicate "gigabit"... so T38G, etc
The T3x were a stop gap measure as they still had the same form factors as the T2x. To keep up with the times, Yealink introduced the more "modern" T4X designs. Since they also originally had 10/100 and Gigabit variants, those models became T4XP or T4XG depending on the switch built into them. In reality the P variant really only hit low end units, and before long the G version was the defacto.
When the time came to give the T4XGs an internal upgrade to get faster processors/more modern hardware etc, Apply had just pulled their famous "iPhone S!" marketing scheme and I suspect Yealink switched from T4XG to T4XS as a blatant copy of the strategy. (i.e. it's the same phone but faster inside, so let's add an S to say "Super!").
The T4XS became the primary line. At the same time though Yealink had been getting into the video conferencing business, and I expect as some compliment/evolution of that they decided it was time for a new high end phone series (The T4xS were cool but they didn't have that "new" feel anymore). This is where I expect the T5x series originally came from.
The T5X line has become a random mash of oddity over time though. It was originally pushed out as T52, T56A, T58A, T58V. The T52 was entry level and still based on Linux firmware, but the others were Android. Like the T4x phones, the 58 had a touch screen and fancier interface, while the 56 was a little more basic. As you suggested, the A probably was originally meant to indicate "Android", with the camera option making the T58 into a "video" phone. Notice if you look on Yealink's support site though, despite reseller info the official models are:
T58A, and T58A with camera option. So the V notation isn't officially documented.
Since the T5X was Yealink's latest "cutting edge" they began rolling out other models into that series to fit requirements outside of just Android. Built-in wifi was one such requirement that I expect they had not originally anticipated but due to requests from customers began to build out. This is where the "W" suffix began appearing. So as part of the "W" roll out (which was somewhere between 1-2 years after the initial T5X) you ended up with:
T53W, T54W, T57W
For T53W they were aiming for a lower more basic/common use phone that would fit the same form factor/look consistent with the rest of the T5X series. So just like the T41 that's now at the bottom end of the T4X series, you get the original version (T53W) and the "stripped down bare bones" version T53.
As a side note, there's also a T55 which is MS Teams only for some reason...
Probably way more than you care about but you asked ;o) As a clarification I am not a Yealink employee and never have been, so this is all merely based on my observations and assumptions over the last 10 years of selling their products.
Great, thank you, Jolouis!
That little walk through history was indeed very informative - and entertaining, by the way. :-)
Though Yealink is definitely not the only company (think of Samsung with their S, A, M, J, etc. smartphone series!) missing this, I'm happy about every vendor's website giving some rough directions before forcing you to dive into the details.

'Flower Power': What to check out at the 2019 Philadelphia Flower Show
The Philadelphia Flower Show is back and this time, it's bringing the 60's.
"Flower Power," honoring the 'flower child' of the late 1960s, is the theme for this year's show from the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society.

But before stepping into the pass, upon entering the main entrance, onlookers are greeted with this year's biggest attraction, the Florists' Transworld Delivery (FTD) World Cup. This is the world's most prestigious competition in the floral industry. Only held every 4 to 6 years, this is the first competition to take place in the United States since 1985. The competition at this year's show includes 23 floral designers from 23 different countries.

A judge takes notes while examining an arrangement from Natalia Zhizhko representing Russia in the FTD World Cup, a prestigious floral design competition.
Judging begins on March 1 and will conclude on Sunday, March 3. Ten semi-finalists will be announced in a private reception on Saturday night and the five finalists will be announced on Sunday. Following another round of judging, the world cup champion will be announced. A total of five mystery challenges will be given to the contestants as they compete for the top prize.
Woodstock…A Renewal of Vows
A large display near the entrance to the 2019 Philadelphia Flower Show celebrates the music and style of the 1960's.
Designed by Robertson's Flower and Events (Glenside, Pa.), "Woodstock…A Renewal of Vows" takes you back to the year 1969. Off to the right of the entrance, this massive design takes you through a Woodstock scene of peace, love, and harmony. It tells the story of a wedding vow renewal, fifty years after Woodstock.
It's all in the details at this exhibit, onlookers can spot a small joint next to a lava lamp – and with the event playing a late 1960s soundtrack – it definitely doesn't get more '1969' than that. This design brings the 'flower power' theme to life the most.
Wheel Hunter Hayes Landscape Design
Hunter Hayes Landscape Design (Ardmore, Pa.) designed "The Power Plant," which restored pieces of an abandoned mill and water wheel to create the ultimate environmental friendly design. It features aquatic plants in a naturalized pond, lush with life, and the working water wheel brings this soothing exhibit full circle.
A scene entitled Kaleidoscope by Waldor Orchids from Linwood, NJ at the 2019 Philadelphia Flower Show.
Waldor Orchids (Linwood, NJ) designed "Kaleidoscope" to represent "the diversity of the human race." Through the use of tropical plants and a variety of orchids, this exhibit calls upon you to challenge and see your viewpoint from a different perspective. The mirrors within the display shine a light on how we influence each other.
Happy Together: People & Flowers
The show covers 10 acres of the PA Convention Center in Center City Philadelphia.
Schaffer Designs' (Philadelphia, Pa.) exhibit shows the connection between flowers and humans. In six different colors, the neon lit floral arrangements speak of six different themes: remember, happy, grow, relax, create, and connect.
"Remember" takes us through warmth and comfort of our childhood with pink. "Happy" is all about "joy and positivity," marked with yellow to resemble the sunshine. "Grow" is about becoming a better version of ourselves, balanced with the color green. "Relax" represents tranquility in blue, a call to the sky and ocean. "Connect" represents "how we work together through giving and sharing" with the color of courage, red.

MORE DETAILSCLOSE
Race whisperers play a dangerous game: Sears
By Robin V. Sears
One eternal verity when democratic politicians play dangerous games with race, ethnicity, language or culture, is that they always lie about it.
That Ronald Reagan opened his bid for the GOP nomination challenge in Mississippi, only a few miles from where three white civil rights workers had been murdered a decade earlier by local racists, had "nothing to do with race or civil rights," his spinners earnestly claimed at the time. MacKenzie King's appalling report into the Vancouver race riots, which claimed that Asians had a predisposition to drug use, was defended as not being racist, but "scientific." And on, and on.
So, when Quebec ministers peer earnestly into the camera and deny vehemently that their latest Islamophobic dog whistles have anything to do with protecting their right flank from the usual vulgar identitarian challenge from the PQ, turn them off.
That we "simply misunderstand" their intent is laughable. That's why a veiled woman is now a threat to public safety on a Montreal bus! (But in the latest back pedalling, only if she has a transit pass does she need to show her face. What?!) Please, don't be so insulting to your citizens' intelligence, folks. They know exactly what game is being played here — its trite, shopworn, dirty and sadly, often politically effective still.
One of Canada's greats on the subject of social inclusion is the Quebec philosopher Charles Taylor. With his colleague, Gerald Bouchard, he pulled Quebec's fat out of the fire when this stunt was tried a decade ago. After a long commission of inquiry in their report, they attempted to defend a removal of all display of religious symbols in public places or by public servants, while appealing for greater social tolerance. This year he admitted their attempt at accommodation had the opposite effect intended — it gave greater licence to Islamophobes and to stigmatization.
In an opinion piece in Montreal's LaPresse, following the Quebec mosque attack in February, Taylor said he regretted their efforts at "reasonable accommodation." It had merely encouraged, "a minority of citizens already harboring hostility to immigrants in general or to Muslims, but who did not dare to act on it beforehand. The [religious symbols] debate had the effect of reducing or eliminating their inhibitions."
Throughout his career — in his magisterial study on how Western civilization gave up religious prejudice in favour of the values of liberal democracy — "The Secular Age"— and in dozens of speeches and lectures — Taylor has hammered relentlessly at two truths. One: we all have an ability to be tempted to the dark side, to drift toward exclusion, prejudice and fear. And we all have the same ability to take a stand for tolerance and openness and acceptance of difference.
The second truth is: which path a society chooses is always a product of leadership. It is therefore the obligation and duty of civil society, political and business leaders to model and to champion the values they want to bequeath to their children as inviolable. No passing partisan angst, no commercial temptation, is a defence for putting the pillars of our hard-fought diverse and harmonious society at risk.
But it is the hypocrisy of the political class that would be laughable if it were not so wicked. To defend an attack on the religious and cultural values of some of your most vulnerable citizens claiming that you are defending "laïcité" — democratic secular values — is simply beneath contempt.
Those who play these dangerous games always deceive themselves about their ability to limit the slide into division they trigger. Race and religious attacks have doubled and tripled in the United States and Europe in recent years, after flirtations with similar Islamophobic campaigns. Are Quebecers and/or Canadians really immune to sliding into the same dirty ditch? Give your head a shake.
Do I flinch at Christian evangelists dangling enormous gold crosses, or wince at the wigs required of Orthodox Jewish women, or the display of ostentatious robes of Catholic prelates? Of course. Do I struggle with the deeper meaning of some Muslim communities' requirement that their women are completely disguised in public? Yes.
Does that give me — or worse, the state — the right to forbid such public displays of private faith. NO!
Do not think you have found any decency or redemption in claiming a public safety rationale for your prejudice? Hinting that the veil may disguise terrorist intention. Eliding, even by innuendo, Islamic terrorism and a veiled Muslim woman is too vulgar to merit comment.
And when the next mosque or synagogue is attacked, look in the mirror to see the true perpetrator.

If you know anything about my T.V. intake you know that Fixer Upper is one of the only shows I keep up with. It's not a plot line show, but it's important to me none the less. As that Instagram famous mug said: Joanna Gaines is my spirit animal.
Honestly I love their family just because of the type of life they live. They are successful, but they value family, work ethic, and faith. They're scandal free and just generally good people. I think they're a beautiful family to have in the spotlight during this Kardashian era world we live in. I would say I'm not taking a dig at the Kardashians, but let's be real, I am. I think most our role models and celebs don't deserve the roles we give them in our daily lives. Are some actresses talented? For sure! should they all be looked up to? No. No. And again, no.
That's one of the reasons I bought this book, to see if the one "celebrity" person I really did admire was, well, as good as I thought? I wanted to see if they were really deserved my hashtag #goals on their instagram posts.
This book pointed out somethings I was already aware of. I could never marry a man like Chip, for starters, he's a wonderful man but he's immature in a lot of ways. No surprise there. But it let me into their success story, it opened me up to their short comings, and it was refreshingly honest. It felt real and raw, but above all else hopeful and grateful. It was such a positive book, even when it talked about the bad stuff. I know some of that comes from retrospect, but some of that just comes from what type of personality you have. Some of the bad stuff I've been through I'm not very positive about even now that I know why it was necessary. It's just a hard thing to do.
This book didn't read like some of the celebrity books I have read because the Gaines aren't the most typical celebrities and it didn't read like a business book because it had too many personal details. It was a perfectly balanced memoir.
If you're a big Fixer Upper fan you've probably already read this book, it's been out a bit, but if you haven't I think it's well worth your time! I gave it four out of five stars.

Welcome to Kazakhstan, a huge and unique country in the heart of Eurasia. The team of "Triumph SAT group travel" company invites you to the country of peace and reconciliation, where antiquity coexists with modernity, and Eastern traditions with Western modernism. Modern Kazakhstan attracts a variety of excursions and programs: the famous high – altitude skating rink Medeu, the world's first cosmodrome "Baikonur", the Charyn canyon – fellow American Grand canyon, the ancient cities of Taraz, Shymkent and Turkestan, one of the young capitals of the world Astana, felt yurts, healing kumys, endless steppes.
Kazakhstan will be remembered for its bright and unique culture of nomads. We offer a large number of travel routes across the territory of our country by providing various types of tourism.
Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world (2.7 million square meters). The country is located in the center of Eurasia and is bordered by Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and China. Travelers can discover the untouched nature of Kazakhstan: deserts, ancient cities, beautiful, almost Alpine landscapes.
The flora and fauna of Kazakhstan is extremely rich. There are about six thousand species of plants, about 500 species of birds, 178 species of animals, and in rivers and lakes about 100 species of fish.
The climate is sharply continental.
Political structure: the head of state is the President. The Supreme authority is the Parliament consisting of two chambers of the Senate and the Majilis.
Population: Kazakhstan is a multinational state. The population is about 17 million.
Language: the official language of Kazakhstan is Kazakh, which belongs to the Turkic languages. Russian is also used as the official language.
Religion: Kazakhstan is a secular state, so religious freedoms for all. Islam and Christianity are the dominant religions.
Capital: Astana is a dynamically developing administrative, business and cultural spiritual center of the country. It is located on the banks of the Ishim river, in the Northern part of Kazakhstan, in Akmola region.
Although separated from the region as a city with a special status. Founded in 1830 as a settlement of Akmola (Kazakh: Amali), he served as a defensive fortification for the Siberian Cossacks. Today Astana is quite a large city with an area of more than 200 sq.km. in 1999 Astana received the title of the world City by UNESCO decision. After the acquisition of the capital's status and the organization of the special economic zone "Astana — new city", the city implements many modern architectural and urban development projects.

Transforming Communities
Surprising Paint Stories
Renewing schools across the UK
Let's Colour Projects in the UK in 2012 renewed over 100 grey community spaces through paint donations from Dulux. Through this program we added colour to the lives of over 190,000 people in the country, and the program continues.
United Kingdom, Nationwide
Liters of paint
In 2013 Dulux focused their efforts on 4 project categories: Schools, Community Centres, Sports Clubs and Charities. Each category received a plethora of applications and 30 projects were completed for each category, adding colour to the lives of over 300,000 people across the country, and we show no sign of slowing down!
Up there with those who engage most with the transformational power of colour, children are near the top of this list. 30 schools were chosen this year out of over 100 applicants to bring colour to their hallways, display proud murals and invigorate their learning environments as part of the Let's Colour Project UK.

The South Downs Way gives you a taste of the extensive history and the geology of the South of England. Winchester, Hampshire on the edge of the South Downs National Park is your starting point. Once the county seat of the Wessex Kings, Winchester is home to many medieval sites, and may be worth an extra night to give you a chance to explore this historic city before setting off on your adventure. Once out on the path you have the chance to experience the wide skies and beautiful landscape, with a mixture of rolling hills, woodland and open patchwork fields knowing that this is a land well-trodden from the Bronze Age to the present day. Evidence of habitation abound, with barrows, Iron Age forts, the Roman trackways, Saxon and Norman churches and castles, windmills intermingle with ancient beacon points as you make your way through the pretty Downs villages of Cocking, Amberley and Alfriston on your way to the seaside town of Eastbourne.

1 Ishmael: So what are we meant to do to fix history? The Reichstag Fire is supposed to happen. I learnt about it in history class.
2 Loren: Are you sure? If it didn't happen, President Hindenburg might not have granted Hitler absolute power. World War II might never have happened.
4 Ishmael: I'm pretty sure World War II happened.
Clearly Ishmael had good history teachers.

The word UNTIL always has some reference to the future. It may be likened to a "day star", or a "dawn", the beginning of something new. That which is past has been the time for preparations, but now everything is ready, and the word goes forth for change.
Peter admonishes us. "You do well to take heed". The Bible is full of prophecy. I've read that some 30% of all Scripture is prophetic. That may well be so, and the majority of it still awaits fulfilment. How important it is for us to read, study, and pray about the prophetic word, that we may be ready for what God has in store.
Peter then tells us that our hearts are like a dark place, a place that needs constant illumination, prophetic illumination, whereby we may be built up, prepared, and made ready for when the Master calls.
Because the day WILL dawn, and the day star WILL arise. God's Kingdom WILL begin. He who is the "bright and morning star" (Rev.22:16) WILL return for His little flock, and we must be ready for His coming.
