LifeCell was invited by AABB, the most credible stem cell regulatory body, to present its innovative and promising model of Community Stem Cell Banking at the International Symposium, San Diego, USA. In 15 years, LifeCell is the only second stem cell bank to present its innovation at such a prestigious global platform.
The International Cord Blood Symposium (ICBS) is a global arena that brings all the umbilical cord blood-related fields of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, banking and potential in regenerative medicine together in one interactive three-day conference. World-renowned experts in the field of cord blood will be present there with their new innovations on advancements in the industry. Mr. Vinesh Mandot, Technical Lead at LifeCell, would be presenting this innovative model in a session chaired by Dr. Frances Verter, The Director of Parent's Guide to Cord Blood Foundation at the international symposium.
, India's first & the largest stem cell bank, a pioneer in stem cell industry has been adding new innovations to its services. One of its freshest initiatives is "Community Stem Cell Banking" that allows access to the donor stem cells within the community, thereby extending the protection of stem cells to all conditions treatable by stem cells. In addition to the child, its siblings, parents and grandparents too can access the community pool of preserved stem cells for treatments when required thereby extending the protection of stem cells to the entire family. Also, there is no limit on number of withdrawals of stem cell units from the community providing a comprehensive protection.
Community stem cell banking will be the future of umbilical cord stem cell banking especially in a country like India where the inventory of donor stem cells or bone marrow registries of Indian ethnicity is very low at less than 1% of global inventory and hence the availability of matching donor stem cells is very low. LifeCell with this new concept aims to create a huge inventory of donor stem cells within the next few years, which could even exceed the global standards and this will pave way for the highest probability of finding a matching stem cell unit. It is notable to also mention that this initiative of LifeCell was featured in "Parent's Guide to Cord Blood Foundation" in their website https://parentsguidecordblood.org/en when this concept was launched in India.

CyberTech TLV 2019 startup competition!
"NeuraLegion, the most innovative and promising Israeli start-up in Cyber Security for 2019."
In a nutshell, NexPloit uses a recorded interaction as a baseline from which to learn your application's entry points and what kind of data they expect. After the initial discovery stage, the NexPloit Cloud and NexPloit agent work together to continuously generate new malicious scenarios, using Evolutionary ML algorithms and reinforcement learning. These scenarios are tested on the target until a vulnerability has been discovered.
NexPloit is a powerful and flexible AST solution, it can easily be used in a way that fits your security needs. NexPloit can be activated via an intuitive web interface, or via API hooks, providing you with seamless integration into SDLC (CI/CD) workflows enabling fast DAST/IAST security testing at the speed of DevOps.
NexPloit can be used as a Dynamic Application Security Testing solution directly from the cloud, a new scan can be initiated in minutes, with no required integration! NexPloit will act on your application using Evolutionary Strategies to generate malicious attack scenarios, finding and immediately reporting which of these scenarios you are exposed to, with no false positives.
NexPloit is a pure Interactive Application Security Testing solution, meaning it was designed and built as an IAST solution from the start. When performing a dynamic scan, NexPloit communicates in perfect harmony with the local agent on the target system, utilizing Machine Learning to discover vulnerabilities that can only be discovered from the inside by hackers or security experts. On top of that, using an agent will provide you access to SAST features such as instrumentation, pinpointing the location in your code the discovered vulnerabilities could be traced to.
Even without a GUI, your product's API security still needs to be tested for vulnerabilities. NexPloit has a unique API testing solution that can be used both in DAST or IAST mode, with simple configuration, providing you with false-positive free vulnerabilities.
NexPloit can be used to perform Application-level Penetration Testing. A single scan can replace dozens of hours of security experts and penetration testers, getting high quality results in a fraction of the time, and cost. Unlike a human tester, who's findings depend on personal expertise, NexPloit's findings are consistent and exhaustive, providing you with the best possible information for your risk analysis. NexPloit will generate a report immediately as it finds vulnerabilities, minimizing the time for both assessment and remediation.
Using NexPloit, your developers are going to get hands-on security education, on your own product during the development stage, making your product more secure by design. NexPloit is intuitive and easy to use, and every detected vulnerability is displayed with all the relevant information a developer might need to remediate it, including highlighting the exact location in the code. The combination of simple usage and concise reporting empowers any developer to detect and fix the vulnerabilities, without the need of security experts in the middle, as well as learn from the process, becoming a better security-minded developer.
A Machine Learning powered Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) solution. Automating a cyber-security specialist's critical thinking process to scan any target and find real vulnerabilities, including logical-flow problems, with no false positives.
Install the agent on your test environment, record a session of how you would normally work with your product and upload it.
Initiate a new scan from our dashboard, selecting the recorded session and agent.
along with simple explanations of the discovered vulnerabilities and remedy suggestions.

NexPloit is a SaaS based product that requires minimal integration, with an intuitive and easy-to-use User Interface, and flexible subscription models. Join us and become a Partner today!
Become part of the NeuraLegion family! Please fill out the form with your contact information.
NeuraLegion began when Bar Hofesh and Art Linkov, decided to combine their experience in the cyber security world with biologically inspired machine learning algorithms.
To date, security testing automation is focussed on keeping up with known issues, and any finding of new issues is via a heuristics-based approach. The main problem is, that finding non-trivial security issues automatically, is much more complicated when looking at logic-based problems rather than specific endpoint malfunctions. Therefore, any new non-trivial problems were found manually, leading to an ever-growing lag between the ability to go over all new code and finding such issues.
This realization drove us to create NexPloit, the world's first AI based IAST tool. Combining our Cyber-Security experience with our Machine-Learning skills, we created a system that mirrors a human's critical thinking process when looking for vulnerabilities. Amazingly, NexPloit's logic-based engine can be applied to many different scenarios, making it suitable for numerous use-cases such as: Software and web applications, Blockchain exchanges and applications, FinTech, Smart industries, Automotive, Healthcare, IoT and more.

I love Mumford & Sons; their folky sound is so unique and refreshing in today's saturated pop market.
That said, I also felt that I had to feature this stunning track today in honour of Marcus Mumford's incredible performance of it, to open last night's One Love Manchester benefit concert, in aid of the horrendous attack in Manchester.
Although you probably saw his solo performance last night, I found this remarkable live performance with the full band, in a Melbourne side alley – it captures their harmonies to perfection.
What are your thoughts of this beautifully melodic track? Did this strike a chord with you at last night's 'One Love Manchester' concert? Got a #MellowMonday track to recommend us? Please leave your thoughts or song suggestions in a comment or via social media.
Lana Del Rey has just released her first new music since 2015's Honeymoon album and people are going crazy for her new single, 'Love'. I've actually not been a huge fan of Lana, until now – this track is just too good to ignore!
It's an incredible song with its epic soundtrack feel; subtle sweeping strings, pounding drums, a beautiful melody and of course Lana's haunting vocals. It's a truly brilliant piece of art.
The artwork for the single resembles an old movie poster; it's the perfect depiction for the song. The music video has emerged and is a masterpiece in it's own right; check it out below!
Courage My Love are a pop-punk trio from Ontario, Canada which consists of twin sisters, Mercedes (lead vocals and guitar) and Phoenix Arn-Horn (drums, keyboard and backing vocals) and bassist, Brandon Lockwood.
The band are currently gearing up to release their second full-length album, Synesthesia, and 'Stereo' is one of the singles to be taken from the record.
The song is heavily influenced by electro-pop with a slight pop-punk edge to it. The use of synths is superb throughout the track and its got a very full-on, all-consuming sound to its choruses.
The music video is interesting too – it's very retro and has visual effects which are reminiscent of the VHS era with glitchy lines running through it, stacks of TVs with white noise on them and old-fashioned telephones. Check it out below!
What are your thoughts of this Canadian trio? Has this single got you interested in hearing more of the album? Please leave your thoughts in a comment below or hit us up via our social media accounts and remember the hash tag #WildCardWednesday if you want to tell us your own choice for the day.
I cannot believe that this song is 20 years old in November this year! That's insane as I remember listening to this as a child, so clearly. It's such a huge song and I love how it contrasts so brilliantly from the calm, quiet aspects to the massive, in-your-face jazz sections. Bjork's vocal performance on this track is just perfection!
This is probably bad of me not to know, but I only just found out that this in fact a cover of a cover. A singer called Betty Hutton released it in 1951, however her release was in fact an English translation cover of 'Und Jetzt ist es Still' by Horst Winter, released in 1948.
The video for the song is so well matched too, it see Bjork singing in slow-motion throughout the verses, around a car repair store and through a town, but during the choruses, bursts into a fully choreographed extravaganza. It's just like a musical…it's excellent.


Pilot spacecraft from one-person planet-jumpers to galactic dreadnoughts. Pilots gain 1d6 Hit Points per level.
Pilots get a fixed attack bonus per level, much like Rogues; instead of Mighty Deeds of Arms, they get a Hotshot Die. Their Hotshot die applies to any checks they make that involve piloting a ship of any kind. Similar to the Warrior's Mighty Deed of Arms, the Pilot can describe some hotshot piloting deed (e.g. pull a loop to get behind a pursuer, side-slip down a canyon, suddenly change course to trick an incoming torpedo into detonating against an asteroid, etc.) getting a successful mighty deed on a 3+ on the die, with higher results indicating more and more spectacular deeds. In addition, when a Pilot spends a point of Luck on a piloting task, they roll their Hotshot die to see how many points to add; for non-piloting tasks 1 point of Luck = 1 point more on the die roll. Pilots regain a number of points of Luck equal to their level each day, regardless of what it was spent on. The Pilot can spend Luck to increase the Hotshot Die roll, but 1 point of Luck can only increase the roll by 1 or allow a re-roll of the Hotshot Die.
Shows the progression of critical die and table to roll on when the Pilot scores a critical hit. Pilots only score criticals on a natural 20.
Pilots gain their class level as a bonus to initiative rolls when piloting.
Pilots are trained with pistols, ships guns. In low-tech campaigns they may also be trained in crossbows, short-swords, and daggers.
Note: this post originally appeared in my related blog, Elves and Espers. I'm reusing the material from there as appropriate for my new campaign.

ATHENA brake discs are made of cast iron with a high carbon content. They are ideal for use on roads, for any vehicle as, compared with OEM parts, they increase and ensure constant performance.
Each braking surface requires a specific design for the drilling, done using CNC machining software, to prevent the holes from interfering with the internal cooling fins. The holes allow elimination of fade gas and abrasion dust caused by braking, while the grooves keep the brake pads always clean and fresh, thus improving braking reliability.
ATHENA MLS gaskets are designed to suit the requirements of today's competition engines offering enhanced sealing compared to the OEM product. The gaskets are assembled from 2-5 layers of high quality stainless and spring steels. For specific high horsepower applications, engine performance can be significantly improved by using Athena Cooper Ring gaskets, that are supplied with INOX steel rings. This technology outperforms conventional fire ring solutions.
ZRP connecting rods are forged from high tensile 4340 steel. They are designed for high performance and extreme durability. ZRP connecting rods are available in H-beam and L-beam shape and some models come in a light weight version. For superior tolerances ZRP connecting rods undergo CNC machining.
JE designs are specifically engineered for extreme applications up to - and including - professional competition. In this environment, the highest compression ratios, highest boost or heavy nitrous usage necessitate the higher tensile strength 2618 aluminum alloy.
The piston heads do not require any deburring or preparation and feature smooth flowing radii for excellent backfiring. Pin fitting, wire locks and rings included.
ATHENA is an International group with three divisions and ten branches both in Italy and around the world. Athena Industries: applications and supplies for the automotive industry, earth movement and agricultural machinery, food industry, adaptors, compressors, heat/cold machinery. Athena Parts: motorbike, scooter, maxi scooter, off road and automotive mechanics and electronics. Athena Evolution: distribution in Italy of brands such as GoPro, Red Bull Eyewear, Ogio, Recon and Xsories.

Q: How to insert long time in milliseconds to Date in Oracle using JDBC I have a long type which stores the milliseconds since epoch and I want to insert that into oracle Date using jdbc prepared statements. I tried the following -
String query =  "insert into tempp values(? , ?)";
ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);

String longString1 = "1521142078000";
String longString2 = "1521566664738";

long longType1 = new Long(longString1).longValue();
long longType2 = new Long(longString2).longValue();

java.util.Date d1 = new java.util.Date(longType1);
java.util.Date d2 = new java.util.Date(longType2);

ps.setDate(1, new java.sql.Date(longType1));
ps.setDate(2, new java.sql.Date(longType2));

The problem is that in Oracle it is saved without the time part and only the date-
Date1                      Date2
--------------------------------------
15-MAR-18 00:00:00       20-MAR-18 00:00:00

Is there a way we can also preserve the time in Oracle. If I use the following I can see that the time part is preserved. But then that is current timestamp and I wanted the date/time corresponding to the time represented by the long milliseconds since epoch.
String query =  "insert into tempp values(sysdate , sysdate)";

A: I am thinking you want a date in oracle, not a timestamp?

Q: Identifying failed hard drive in RAID I have a server which is running customized version of Debian. It is attached a sun storage raid. It has very limited tools and installing new tools is not allowed. :(
This message I see in dmesg:
end_request: critical target error, dev sda, sector 556782970
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled sense code
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda]  Result: hostbyte=0x10 driverbyte=0x08
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda]  Sense Key : 0x4 [current]
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda]  ASC=0x44 ASCQ=0x0

end_request: critical target error, dev sda, sector 556782970

So it seems there is badblock in sector 556782970, but I don't know which hard drive it belongs to so that I can get it replaced.

*

*arcconf getlogs command does not reveal any issues with drives.

*I did arcconf task start 1 logicaldrive 0 verify_fix but this didn't help.

*I did an e2fsck check. It attempts to fix some inodes but above issue remained. (I assume since its physical issue).

A: Based on the end_request: critical target error, dev sda, sector 556782970 line, I assume that /dev/sda is the trouble child.  You can find the serial number of that device using:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep "sda$"

A: While there might be an answer that gets you the info in the OS, odds are the controller firmware can tell you if you access it during boot.
Another thing I noticed in your cut and paste is that your battery says "failed".  I wonder if the stripes are reporting failure because the Write Cache battery is toast? Though it reporting and actual bad inode would probably mean you have two problems.
Though my experience with Adaptec Controllers typically when the battery dies, it disables write caching as a preemptive measure.

A: If you actually use arcconf you can see physical drive status like this:
arcconf getconfig 1 PD

Look for drives with Failed state to identify drives that have been marked as failed. For your reference the output would look something like this:

The toolbox tribe
Five times the usual game speed means beginning the game in the highest possible gear. Who else to highlight but a tribe that has always been about shifting velocity?
Our crafty Gauls have more tricks up their sleeves than just traps and walls. With time being of absolute essence, a tribe requiring less time commitment could very well be strong in the long run. And when the time is right, you turn on the offensive.
Right from the start, the Phalanx of the Gauls can fend off any invader, being strong against infantry and even stronger against enemy cavalry. But the Gauls truly shine when it comes to their cavalry, who now ride five times faster. With an army of Druidriders, you can support your alliance within a heartbeat. And when it comes to raiding, the fastest unit in the game – the Theutates Thunder – now runs at lightning speed.

OBP Pro-Spec rectangular 2 litre baffled oil catch tank, supplied fully polished. Baffled to help prevent oil vapour condense and from slopping around and out of the tank. All tig welded aluminium construction with 13mm inlet, outlet and breather tubes, sight tube to show the current level of fluid and a useful drain bung on the bottom for easier emptying. Most motorsport vehicles are required to have a catch tank in place, with performance gains to be achieved by not recirculating oil vapour into the engine. The oil catch tank does exactly what it says it does, it still allows the engine to vent the hot oily vapour, but it catches it inside the tank, and then vents the clean air to the atmosphere. Undrilled mounting tab plate to the rear of the tank for easy installation and barbed male tubes for push on hoses.

GATEFOLDE's Video For "slit scan" is a Stop Motion Model of the Ravages of Late Capitalism on the Collective Human Psyche
Don't be thrown by the title of the video "meet jeff," it's a video for the song "slit scan" from the forthcoming GATEFOLDE album O due out January 22, 2022. "Jeff" is songwriter M. Fanuzzi's name for the dystopia of late capitalism. The video is a depiction of three figures mutated and mutilated by the current state of the world as are many of us to varying degrees even if "only" psychologically. The song employs analog synth and other electronic instruments to convey the background sound of post-industrial white noise that represents the elements of our current civilization that seem impossible to escape including the constant demand of late capitalism of our participation in it whether by increasingly drawing our time and energy into it directly or indirectly with marketing/advertising which has permeated nearly all realms of life and, perhaps just as if not more insidiously, social media which has become the vehicle for keeping in touch with friends and family in aggregate and putting a barrier between people through the illusion of connection. The music of the song goes from a fairly playful and chill electronic free jazz with saxophones into something more chaotic and disorienting to parallel the disruption in our lives and alienation from self. The DIY stop motion animation/claymation visuals while perfect for expressing these ideas also contains an element of nostalgia and humanity because it is inherently imperfect and wouldn't be effective if rendered in a more finely digital form. In casting this symbolic drama of the dysfunction of the modern era, the video and the song is a reminder of how even connecting to the uncomfortable aspects of our existence is proof of our humanity and that everyone knows deep down that late capitalism is a failure that serves no one's interests and is inherently destructive to the environment and basic human institutions and relationships that we value whether we consciously take them into account in the abstraction of our economic lives separate from context and consequences beyond those slender considerations that define the modern capitalist system. Maybe the GATEFOLDE video and song is a minor act of resistance by holding up a creative mirror to the system that is eroding and destroying our lives but it is one that rewards indulging. Watch the video for "slit scan" on YouTube and follow GATEFOLDE at the links below where a cassette of the album O is available to order on Bandcamp on January 22, 2002 in a limited edition of 100.

Delorca and Turner of Wheels Bring Us on a Journey Through the World's Pain on Our Way to Better Places on "Misery Tourist (Part One)"
Delorca and Turner of Wheels linked up their computers during this ongoing pandemic to collaborate remotely on an extended piece of music called "Misery Tourist." The ebbs and flows of textures, melodies, moods and concepts take on a cinematic quality and convey a narrative about grief and empathy and the importance of creative work and experiences in times of crisis. The first part of "Misery Tourist" draws us in with sounds that take on the shapes of physical objects in our imagination, of streams running over rocks, wind in trees, clouds streaming overhead. When the vocals come in like a spirit its reminiscent of Everything But the Girl but commenting on a desolate world wracked by conflict, suffering, deprivation and neglect. One might say it's about the pandemic but any honest person sensitive to the reality of the world knows how the pandemic highlighted already stressed and strained human social structures and relationships and the widespread destructive impact of human civilization as we've known it on the environment. The soaring vocals feel like they've taken on this pain and channeled it into a coherent expression that gives this gentle and fluid composition a cathartic aspect without downplaying our collective erosion of life nurturing existence unbolstered by a non-existent wise stewardship by most political entities on the planet. And yet it's not a downer. It is merely melancholy and because of its natural and subtle forward momentum simulating life and the course of history outside of human impact there is a built in sense of hope for an unraveling of the deadlock somehow in ways we can't predict. The title seems to imply that to address our maladies we must first look upon them honestly and dare not to be completely overwhelmed by the extent of the destruction but rather see it as an opportunity to act boldly and not get stuck in the stasis of the status quo that made it all possible and inevitable. Listen to "Misery Tourist (Part One)" on Bandcamp and connect with the artists at the links below.

Slim Noir's Jazz Lounge-Inflected "Traffic" is the Story of a Man Trying to Woo a Jaded Heart
Slim Noir, photo courtesy the artist
Slim Noir uses a cool jazz, downtempo beat to give his song "Traffic" a mood like a late 1950s Hitchcock adventure thriller, lush tones and an air of romance. The lyrics are like a call and response style beginning with a cocky male using his verbal creativity, wit and bravado to let a woman know how and why he admires her including how she's wild, dangerous and glamorous and for her part the woman responds to this attention with an all but dismissive casualness mentioning the matters that have her attention and focus and it's not her would be suitor. Not discouraged by this response the guy acknowledges how she had to have heard it all, the litany of flattery from trifling wannabes but to give him a chance. And yet he never sounds pathetic and the song ends with this discussion unresolved. It's a slice of life and like a bit of cinema reminiscent of some late 90s Tricky capturing a moment in time rather than trying to solve or resolve the disconnect because in those moments of hopefulness of romance is where people are often at their best.

Binker & Moses Process Maximalist Free Jazz Into Minimalist New Dub Ambient on "Accelerometer Overdose"
Binker & Moses, band photo from Bandcamp
"Accelerometer Overdose" finds London-based jazz duo Binker & Moses not only laying out some kosmische free jazz instrumental interplay but the processing of the performances throughout sends you even further out. Loops of sax and some processing on drum signal and low end brought back in as processed samples both makes you wonder where you are in the music but also engaged to want to follow where it goes before it fades into space. The process transforms maximalism into minimalism, tangible concrete and organic musical forms into an electronic ghost of those living on like a crumbling fractal hologram and giving the meaning of the music a different dimension of meaning than when it first starts out as though saying that the illusion of perfection, of virtuoso performance can be cooler when it is built to break down in ways not entirely under anyone's control into the chaos of infinite decay. It is the free jazz equivalent of when Mission of Burma would perform live and Martin Swope would take part of the live show into a tape machine and feed it back through the P.A. and warped dub style including an echo of the final notes into analog signal slow burnout taking the audience out of regular time. Listen to "Accelerometer Overdose" on YouTube and connect with Binker & Moses at the links provided. Look for the new album Feeding The Machine due February 25, 2022 via Gearbox Records.

Last Name X Utilizes Hip-hop Beats and Sublime Ambient Dream Pop Soundscaping To Untangle Psychic Trauma on "Fade to White"
When "Fade To White" by Last Name X begins it brings such a blissed out yet melancholic mood with a guitar loop that propels the song forward and processed vocals in angelic vocoder tones deliver lines like notes written on tissue paper sent aloft in a breeze. It is this part of the song at the first and last third of the song that expresses a sense of the higher self sensitive to frustrations, struggles and pain that intermingle and help to keep us trapped in a bad place. The middle part of the song with the more human sounding rap gives us some context with words that spell out where things are wrong in a relationship that has fractured and the anger and hurt lingers as a raw feeling. But when the vocoder-processed singing returns the uplifting atmosphere returns to help dissolve and resolve that psychic wound to perhaps enable some healing and moving on through acknowledging the harm and bad blood without a typically dismissive urging someone to move on with a bravado that doesn't address the knot of darkness that can get stuck in your head for years or a lifetime. The mix of ambient, dream pop and hip-hop on the track makes its impact especially effective tonally but also in the fact of it also not being stuck in a narrow musical identity of its own. Listen to "Fade to White" on Spotify.

Ugly Twin's Dramatic Atmospherics of "Crabs Are Crustaceans" Take Life's Vulnerable and Private Moments and Makes Them Mythic
Ugly Twin, photo courtesy the artists
The ebb and flow of Ugly Twin's "Crabs Are Crustaceans" are like the tides themselves with slow swells and surges that are also irresistible like the moods that sometimes crash into your psyche when you're in a period of peak sensitivity. The melodic bass line leads us in with sustained guitar drone and introspective vocals with the wall of sound giving way to more textured guitar riffs that take us to the edge of a fall off into vistas of distorted waves of feeling and then back to a reflective mood. The dynamic is reminiscent of some of the more soundscapey emo bands of the 90s and early 2000s like Juno and Sunny Day Real Estate and the way they could sound so huge and dramatic and vulnerable all at once. The tactile imagery in the title of the song of having a hard shell and soft insides adds another layer of resonance for the song that seems very relatable in a society where one is expected to always put up a tough front and often internalize it even if it isn't really who you are. Watch the video for "Crabs Are Crustaceans" on YouTube and listen to the track and more by Ugly Twin on Spotify.

Lazy Queen's "Bed/Head" is a Tenderly Cathartic Pop-Punk Anthem About Weathering Emotional Trauma
Lazy Queen trick us for the first few moments of "Bed/Head" into thinking we're going to hear an odd yet endearing synth pop song. The strange and beautiful video treatment by Johan Lundsten solidifies this impression even as the song ramps up into an energetic rock song about mental health issues, the downfalls of self-medication and self-isolation while dealing with anxiety and emotional trauma from a break-up or everyday life which these days can certainly provide enough psychological turmoil and insecurity about a broad spectrum of concerns. These days we might call these fuzzy guitar riffs and strong vocal harmonies indie rock but fans of the better pop punk of the late 90s will find much to like about Lazy Queen's anthemic choruses and poignant lyrics. What sets this band and this song separate from that older world of music is that words aren't about some girl who wronged some guy or those kinds of relationship dramas. The lyrics for this song are written from a more general human perspective and the music video depicts romantic escapades between characters whose gender might not be so easy to identify definitively nor does it matter, the situation they're in is what's relatable and beset by masked antagonists who try to thwart their being together as symbols of the stumbling blocks in life and in one's own head toward happiness and even self-acceptance.

Sam Rosenzweig Edges Closer to Reconciling a Conflicted Psychology on "Conqueror"
Sam Rosenzweig, photo courtesy the artist
Sam Rosenzweig's "Conqueror" casts a great internal struggle in terms of a conflict between the self one most closely, consciously identifies and an aspect of one's psychology that often seems at odds with who we think we are and want to be. Bringing together hazy, distorted synths with acoustic guitars, the songwriter is able to create a highly expressive palette of sounds to give emotional resonant nuance to the almost mythical narrative. Rosenzweig depicts undertones of the reconciliation of internal tensions, impulses and instincts in terms of how the titular conqueror gives him "a light [he] could not see" as in illuminating and providing comprehension of things that he otherwise might never consider. The line "Throw me to the desert, take away the key, I'll wait until the rocks here begin to speak to me" indicates a willingness to be transformed by this conflict as part of a struggle to becoming a more fully realized human through actual growth and psychological expansion even if it seems like a mysterious process whose outcome your current mindset can't completely process in this moment. Rosenzweig in effect personalizes this core dynamic of the human mind with accessible lyrics that convey the message in vivid images. Though more a dark Americana song with synths that has more in common with Smog and Talk Talk than some other music that might fall under that broad category, fans of Rome and Angels of Light will appreciate Rosenzweig's sensitive yet steady and intense vocal delivery and the blend of deeply introspective mood and gritty textures.

Ben McElroy's "Bed Down In The Murk" is a Neo-Classical Ambient Manifestation of the Benefits of Slowing the Mind to Open the Spirit
Ben McElroy uses a slowly shimmering and roiling drone to ease us into "Bed Down In The Murk." The word usage in the title suggests a foggy, dark place of ambient menace. But the song and its impressionistic violin phrases echoing into a an indeterminate distance like a lonely player inspired by a hazy sunset. Thus the word "murk" takes on another implied meaning, not gloomy but of a mist that obscures the everyday world within which in your private physical and by extension psychological place the imagination can wander and the mind open to the unexpected or at least to uncoil from having to focus on so many of the mundane things we've created to prevent ourselves on a collective level from putting our energies toward creating a civilization where the focus is on doing great things with compassion and creativity rather than on being merely "productive" in the demented sense that is the focus now. This song sounds like it's informed by these subconscious, low key, rebellious impulses that exist in all people and upon which McElroy is drawing the energies to inform the gentle pacing and flow of "Bed Down In The Murk" and following our better instincts. Listen to the song on YouTube and connect with McElroy at the links below. Look out for the full length album How I Learnt to Disengage From the Pack out January 28 on The Slow Music Movement.

Fragile Gods Seek Relief From the Deep Anxieties of the Modern Era on "Medicine"
Fragile Gods channel a touch of early 80s New Wave synth pop on the single "Medicine." It gives the song an uplift and nostalgic glow even as the lyrics are made up of a series of thoughts that point to a deep sense of personal dysfunction. The lyric "Everything is fine until it isn't" seems like something everyone that has had to live through the last twenty years at a minimum can relate to directly as diminishing expectations and the unacknowledged glass ceilings have been pushing downward and one finds ways to rationalize your way through this increasing sense of anxiety either through believing that you can grind away and enter the economic upper 1% only to find out that that group of people is being crushed under too by their own 1%. When the male and female vocalists sing about trying to find something, in this case medication because other methods might take too long to help in the moment, to make themselves feel better when the economic system is essentially collapsing under its own weight and ecological disaster is being completely unaddressed by the world at large ready to make all existing economic systems and arrangements completely irrelevant not in our children's or grandchildren's lifetime but within the next two decades it seems irrational to think it's realistic to want anything other than a little comfort in the last days of the world as we know it. But in the tradition of other synth pop bands like OMD, Human League and New Order, Fragile Gods use a subversion of melodic pop playfulness to deliver content with a touch of uncomfortably honest irony to not act as soporific but as balm on the nerves to get through to maybe a time when we can do something real about what's ailing us because nihilistic cynicism and despair aren't going to be adequate to the situation.

Lt. Gen. (ret) Ronald Lee Burgess, Jr., who served as the 17th Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, was one of the keynote speakers at Cyber Security Summit 2016 in Minneapolis. As head of the Agency and a former Acting Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Burgess served as a key player in the national security arena, called upon by the President, the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Congressional leaders for his opinions, advice and expertise. He is currently Senior Counsel for National Security Programs, Cyber Programs and Military Affairs at Auburn University.
Addressing the Summit audience on cyber threats and solutions, Gen. Burgess noted that he has worked in security roles for more than 40 years. His presentation, titled "The Cyber Threat and Way Ahead," touched on America's security status in the world today, leaks and threats from others and the urgency to act to head off attacks. His far-ranging accounts of numerous events lent unusually revealing insights into security, including national security.
"Weaponized ones and zeroes are now referred to as cyber bombs, and they can be," he said. "The good news is it's a changing world out there. That's also the bad news."
He recounted how, years ago, one of the earliest social media sites, MySpace.com, was compromised and millions of subscribers lost personal information. That history is a case study in what happens when data stewardship fails. The site now is tiny in comparison to what it once was. Apparently, it also represents a lesson not learned by most Internet users.
Risky Shortcuts
"Fifty to 75 percent of Internet users use one password or derivatives of that password," he noted. "We are lazy."
The security veteran keeps his "eight pages of passwords" locked in a safe on a secure thumb drive.
"It's hard, but welcome to the 21st Century," he said.
Attacks happen and reward bad actors. One incident that originated from Bangladesh launched 35 requests for payment to the Federal Reserve Bank, Burgess recounted. Thirty weren't paid – five were.
Crime is a service industry, he said. Just as the drug cartels have done by franchising and outsourcing, so too are operations in cyber space highly organized.
Likewise, ransomware is becoming more prevalent as a device in cybercrime. He cited war games that considered a scenario in which people with pacemakers are held hostage by treacherous assailant-hackers demanding payment in exchange for removing blocking software interrupting the device's functionality. The doctor can't send the signal to reset the pacemaker's normal performance unless the patient pays $2,000 in ransom.
General Burgess mentioned a startling statistic about the unseen world of the Internet. A mere seven percent of the Internet is used daily by regular users. The other 93 percent, called the Dark Internet, is a realm not easily accessible to mainstream users.
The Internet of Things is ratcheting up security concerns as users engage with multiple digital communication devices. Adopting more devices introduces added risks for hacking. "Drones and robots will be used in defense by 2020," he noted. "The world has changed – are we ready for it?"
"This revolution has just started and will affect our lives in every way," Burgess told the audience.
Evaluating Our Losses to Theft
Burgess said the military is ready because "we train incessantly – and the Chinese do, too."
In a war game scenario pitting China against Taiwan, it was discovered that "critical nodes defending Taiwan" included two American military bases, which would become targets in the event of a real attack. The threat extended to a third U.S. base because of its role as a military transport center.
Could China really take out these targets? Burgess asked. "I don't know if they can actually do it, but they talked about it."
The four most hacked targets last year were information systems, electrical grids, lasers and aeronautics, he said.
"The Air Force F-35 tactical fighter is the best fifth-generation fighter," he said. "The Chinese and Russians have similar fifth-generation fighters – they stole it from us."
Piracy of valuable assets is a major issue. In 2010, the estimated amount of intellectual property leaving the U.S. could have been as high as $250 trillion, Burgess said, a loss greatly eclipsing the value of the annual U.S. Gross Domestic Product.
The Most Likely Source of Risk
At the end of the day, it's about doing a risk assessment, he said. The insider threat is real. Trust, but verify. People are people.
"Murphy's Law is alive and well out there. There's no real gold standard in cyber security – we don't know what we don't know."
While serving at the Defense Intelligence Agency, Burgess said he instructed his people not to download anything on their personal devices. Although he knew and trusted his people, knowing human nature lead him to find out how well his instructions had been followed. He ended up confiscating 63 iPods that were discovered to contain downloaded data.
"The weakest link is generally the individual, he said.
In summary, he said, "The threat is clear … it will continue to evolve over time. It will move in real time."
Protecting our critical infrastructure is critical, especially the power grid: "A scenario like power grid failure is not out of bounds."
He said our tech advantage is narrowing. He also noted that his career security training equals some 5½ years. Most civilians have only on year of specialized training.
Cyber security "is a team sport" that requires serious commitment to ongoing training.
"You can't keep up by doing it on the fly," Gen. Burgess said.

Why being short is a deal breaker
IT'S the sort of news shorter men don't want to hear, but apparently women will swipe left on Tinder if your height doesn't measure up.
Lollie Barr
Sunday StyleJuly 31, 20161:00am
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban - no heightism here.Source:Getty Images
KATE: Yep, let's meet. You sound awesome :) BTW, how tall are you?
Steve: 5ft 9 in socks, taller in heels! ;-) You?
Kate: Sorry, I only like tall guys :(
When it comes to height, the dating game can be as brutal as a footy grand final. If the guy doesn't measure up to a woman's expectations, he'll get cut before he even gets a chance to make a play for her affection.
It appears that, subconsciously, many women still subscribe to the patriarchal image of what coupledom should look like: a strapping hunk of spunk dwarfing his short, slight sheila. But if you think the language is outdated, maybe so is the picture.
Why do women often make height such a non-negotiable deal breaker? A study by the University of North Texas found women looked to date men who were taller than them for "protection and femininity reasons", despite advances in equality. While just 13 per cent of men specified wanting to date women shorter than them, almost half of the women said they were only looking to date taller men.
When ascertaining the height of their perfect match, many women use the formula: h + = . For those not versed in made-up mathematical formulas, that's your height plus the height of your highest heels – and perhaps add a little more for good measure.
Internet dating perpetuates the notion. On dating sites such as OKC, Match and RSVP, you can filter out men by height criteria. Tinder doesn't oblige you to reveal vital statistics, however that doesn't stop guys referencing their dimensions. Whether it's humble bragging, "6ft 4in – only writing that because it appears important to you ladies," or issuing a short-dude disclaimer, "5ft 6in – just putting it out there. Swipe left if that's a problem."
British singer Rod Stewart is 1.78m but loves even taller women, such as wife Penny Lancaster.Source:AP
Women, meanwhile, openly declare their heightism in the vein of, "I'm only attracted to tall men. Don't bother if you're under 6ft," or, "Not into short guys. Sorry." Diana, 38, is 5ft 4in (1.62m), but has a 6ft (1.82m) rule. "I can't help who I'm attracted to," she says. "It's just my thing."
Similarly, Mary, 33, at 5ft 8in (1.72m), wears her highest heels on a date as a height litmus test, to catch out liars. "Guys delude themselves and add a couple of extra inches. It's so annoying when you like them but they're too short," she says.
What if you fell in love with a dude who's shorter, I ask? "It won't happen. I'd rather be single," she replies. "I've spent too much money on my heel collection to wear flats for life."
Harsh. But on the dating playing field, the tallest thrive. However, if a guy openly stated he only dated women who can rock a size 8 mini, we'd be morally outraged. But it seems far more acceptable for women to discriminate and even disparage guys that literally don't measure up. (Would you like a side order of hypocrite with that physical double standard, ladies?)
Then women moan that there just aren't any decent men out there. Not surprising, if they're rejecting a great swath of the male population by setting unrealistic height restrictions.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average height for a man is 175.6cm (5ft 9in). By setting the bar any higher, we've just rejected Jared Leto, Zayn Malik, Justin Bieber (probably a good thing) and Robert Downey Jr even before he's ordered a latte on the first date.
Steve, 33, isn't a celebrity – he's a media planner from Melbourne. An avid Tinder user, he's also the lucky recipient of the message at the start of this article. "Invariably, the height conversation comes up before the hook-up. I've been rejected countless times on height alone. Women just want tall."
Maybe Katie Holmes just wanted to trade "up"?Source:Supplied
Obviously, physical attraction is an essential component to falling in love, but to disregard someone you find attractive because of their height is limiting yourself. "The question is, how many people are you screening out with your prejudices?" asks Emma Marlin, a psychotherapist. "The first step in challenging our own subconscious attraction biases is to notice them, and then challenge your beliefs.
"We're told we can't help who we're attracted to, but I disagree," she adds. "It's much healthier, and you have more chance of finding love, if you think about the qualities you want to find, rather than the physicality.
"For example, I want someone kind, who doesn't play games, isn't into drama, has a good relationship with alcohol, who loves their family and loves themselves, but in a healthy way. Then you can experiment by doing something different. Go on a date with someone who ticks all of your boxes but doesn't match up to your height restrictions. You may be pleasantly surprised. If your values align, your attraction may, too."
Marion, 40, took that advice and is now happily married to Arthur, who's a good inch and a half (4cm) shorter. "I did a deal with my therapist that I'd date guys I'd previously ruled out," she says.
"When I got chatting with Arthur online, we just clicked, so we went on a date. I fell in love with the person, not the height. At first, it was challenging, even uncomfortable, dealing with my own prejudice and society's. Now I take great pleasure in people noticing us as a couple. It's like I'm defying convention. There's something liberating in that."

What Can You Do if You Get Bit by a Snapping Turtle?
A pet snapping turtle usually will not bite unless it is scared by rough handling or injured in some way. Careful handling is the key to preventing bites. If you are bitten, a turtle can be removed by being calm and placing the turtle in water until he lets go.
If a turtle has bitten you, do not attempt to pull or pry the turtle's mouth off of you. This will worsen the damage to your skin and will frighten the turtle or cause him pain. Submerge the turtle into water. Once submerged, hold still and he will let go.
Once he has released his grip, move away from him quickly and give him time to calm down if possible. If you need to remove him from the water, be sure to grasp the back of his shell and hold him away from your body. Be careful not to drop him and cause injury.
Under no circumstances should a snapping turtle that has bitten you be killed. Upon death, a turtle's jaw clamps down with even more pressure, which will cause you more injury. And a dead turtle cannot release his grip.
Since turtles are known to carry salmonella, any bite that breaks the skin needs to be treated by a medical professional. Antibiotics may be needed, as well as thorough cleaning of the wound. If the skin is not broken, wash the bitten area with warm water and plenty of soap.

Student Learning Opportunities at UGA
By: Breanna Kendrick
UGArden is a program at the University of Georgia that began in 2011. The purpose of the program is to grow medicinal herbs for use in products.
Noelle Fuller, UGArden manager, began her involvement with the program as an undergraduate student and then as an intern. After her internship, she did her master's degree research on medicinal herbs at the UGArden.
"Production has tripled since I've started," says Fuller. "We grow over 50 different medicinal herbs that we dry and then put into a variety of products. We're most known for our tea blends, but we also produce and sell lip balms, herbal soap, infused oils and salves."
The missions of UGArden are to have a sustainable business, support someone to manage the business, and provide educational outreach. "We're trying to provide opportunities for students to have hands-on learning in all different aspects of the business," says Fuller. "We have an herb internship program where students can get class credit. The students learn about every aspect of herb production: planting, harvesting, sowing seeds, weeding, drying herbs and processing herbs."
There are also opportunities for students to get involved in other aspects of the business, including entrepreneurship, branding, promotions, marketing, technology, record keeping and website development.
Fuller says the hands-on learning gives students valuable experience, making the information they learn more practical. "When you are learning in a classroom, it's very different from seeing what it's like in the real world," she explains. "For example, we did a collaboration with the New Media Institute … They helped us create a website, a record keeping app, and helped us with a logo."
According to Fuller, the UGArden business model provides students with volunteer opportunities, collaboration opportunities and experience in real-world situations. "Adding these projects to their resumes will hopefully help them in their career search," she says. "I also think it benefits us greatly because we get students that have different perspectives than we do. I think it's a really cool model for the university, and I'm really excited to be a part of it."
