With the attacks on mobile devices rising, enterprises must cautiously estimate the potential risks and advantages of resorting to a mobile platform. Each mobile operating system is set up for a selected group of audience, i.e. corporate users or consumers. The platforms designed for consumers are operational and security trade-offs to attain usability and simplicity, whilst the ones designed for corporate users offer lesser risk to an enterprise's environment when incorporated owing to the inherent security controls embedded in the systems.
The highly expanding mobile device market and their open programming platforms provide corporations with essential scopes to communicate with the consumers and clients. These features assist creative innovations that are not possible through the conventional PC application. However, the size and computing power restrictions have compelled organizations to redesign their internet presence and offer mobile users with a browsing experience like that of a PC. As the developers continue to redesign the websites and come up with mobile applications, they are required to consider the probable mobile security risks, data thefts and mitigate them.
Mobile Application Security - Investigates and remedies vulnerabilities in the mobile application by penetration testing, reverse engineering secure code review and security testing.
Mobile Application Store Security - Evaluates internal Apps, external Apps, malicious patterns verifications, secure code review, device OS and dependant Telco's component's security assessment.
Mobile Payment and Banking Security - Used for evaluation of mobile payment and banking applications, reverse engineering, secure code review, payment gateways and application API/interfaces' security assessment.
USSD/DSTK Application Security - Evaluates USSD Gateways, USSD/DSTK Applications, USSD Application Server Frameworks, USSD log analysis, secure code review, USSD based payment application's PCI-DSS and payment forum's compliance pre-audit.
Enterprise Mobile Data Management Services - Assists end users in enterprise data fragmentation i.e. access control for business application usage and crucial business data, data storage encryption, mobile content management and verification of fragmented data.
Today mobile security service providers with their design methodology for mobile applications and expertise in cryptography not only allow the end users to secure data storage and implement protocols but also minimize the software re-engineering and compliance expenses.
Today financial software services have become an integral aspect of any business functioning on small, medium or large scale companies. Regardless of the business size, such software solutions are able to extend the much needed solutions for the employers that allow them to carry forward their business seamlessly.

Apart from assisting enterprises to cater to complex finance and accounting tasks within few minutes, financial software services also help the proprietor to have their work simplified and focused. Advanced financial and accounting software solution also offer a comprehensive set of solutions such as cash flow and VAT returns, management of budgets, consumers and suppliers, control and stock management, sales and order processing and foreign trading apart from managing the regular accounting tasks.
Financial software service providers with their in-depth knowledge of corporate, retail, and investment banking, works on all stages of the product engineering lifecycle to build front office solutions that enhance the consumer experience, middle office solutions that manage high volumes of complex data, and back office solutions that optimize business processes.
When it comes to B2B lead generation, most brands today are finding out new ways to scale personal attention. The great promise offered by marketing automation solutions today has enabled brands to trigger messages depending on a visitor's plan of action on the website. Ideally, done by sending messages when they are most significant, than spam. The promise of marketing automation software has contributed to it by offering the quickest growth of any CRM-related segment in the past five years according to a Forrester Research. However, despite its rapid growth marketing automation is still on its way to achieve higher prominence.
Back in the year 2011, in a Genius survey, more than 50 percent of the respondents revealed that they had not realized their investment in marketing automation. Going by its name, it still stays a robotic function, only reflecting a fraction of the consumer's interest and preferences. However, if marketing automation software or tools are to be productive use, then they need to offer value to consumers, fulfill their needs and support marketing strategies.
It has been observed that marketing automation does not add to the email list. Every year there is a natural decay that takes place in marketing email lists it minimizes the efficiency of the email marketing as an influence. In B2B marketing on an average after a year, listen have only shown to retain 75 percent of their members owing to the turnover at companies and other factors. Marketing lists have a tendency to expire at a rate of 25 percent a year. Furthermore, any email tool that is dependent too heavily on the list quality is restricted by its own overturn.
Also marketing automation does not take priority inbox or any other filters into consideration. The email recipients have more tools than before in order to filter out unwanted communications. The auto-filters and priority inboxes sift out the marketing emails and then push them out of immediate preview. Therefore, the deliverability statistics might not change, but the emails indeed get skipped.
Today companies specializing in lead generation solution offer enterprises with a powerful and simple to use marketing automation platform to manage the leads database. When you want to consolidate all the leads from various sources the solution makes it easy for you to view all types of leads coming in to the website, marketing campaign from email campaigns, fills, social media and even the offline leads in a single dashboard.
Furthermore, the marketing automation platform offers actionable intelligence with which users can have access to the entire lead data, from company details to the decision maker contact data. Simultaneously, the company level intelligence and buying intent makes it even easier to act upon the sales leads. Advanced marketing automation solutions offer seamless integration with the sales CRM system resulting in a streamlined transition of leads from marketing to sales.

We're in DITA – now what?
Every year my talented friends at Scriptorium roll out a list of trends in content strategy and technical communication. This year's list is thought-provoking as always: it contains some trends that are spot-on and some that I wasn't expecting.
And one that's flat-out brilliant: We're in DITA – now what?
During the webinar in which Scriptorium unveiled its trends for 2016, Gretyl Kinsey described a "second wave" of DITA adoption: a technical writing team has decided to switch to DITA — either for the right reasons (as part of a carefully planned strategy) or for the wrong reasons (DITA sounded cool and trendy, or they had some extra money in the budget).
Having gone through the process of converting its content. the team is now finding that DITA isn't a panacea. The 400-horsepower DITA muscle car is parked in the driveway. Now what do we do with it?
This is when some teams throw up their hands, or when buyer's remorse sets in. The team, especially if they didn't have sound reasons for switching to DITA in the first place, might want to return to its old tool set. Or, realizing that they've sunk a lot of treasure and talent into the DITA implementation, they're inclined to limp along — driving the car but never getting out of second gear.
Even when the team made the switch for the right reasons, they might feel overwhelmed. All of the reasons for switching, like cost savings through reuse and greater efficiency in translation, didn't just magically fall into place. A lot of work is still needed. In this situation, again, some teams content themselves with driving the car to the grocery store and back, never taking it out on the freeway.

In a couple of weeks we'll have reached the midpoint of a decade. Five years ago we turned our calendars to 2010, and five years from now we'll stand at the threshold of 2020.
It's fun to look back five years (which is, of course, an eternity in Internet time) and see what people were predicting for the new decade. What changes, and what new opportunities, would the 2010s bring for technical communicators?
Oops. While STC did launch a certification program a couple of years ago, they put it on ice when demand didn't match expectations. Now nobody is talking about certification, as far as I can tell.
So what knucklehead made that prediction? That would be me.

What Will You Be Doing in 10 Years?
We've all heard about how much the technical communication profession is changing. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what it means to you, personally.
Take my 5- to 10-minute survey and share your confidential answers to any or all of the following questions.
What will you be doing 10 years from now?
What are you doing today to prepare?
The survey is anonymous, so you won't be found out if you tell me that you hope to take over your boss's job. Or that you dream of hacking into poorly-designed websites to insert Tech Comm-themed banners.
I'll post the results on this blog in a couple of weeks.
If you're in need of inspiration, here are some resources that might help.
Hot lead to hot technology: Whither technical communication?
This entry was posted in Media and technology, Technical communication and tagged future, techical writing, Technical communication, trends on June 30, 2014 by Larry Kunz.
This month I was called in to assist on a technical-writing project that uses old technology. Really old technology. Which got me to thinking: the variety of output formats for our content, the number of tools for developing that content, and the range of skills needed to master all of the above, have never been greater. What does that mean for the people in our profession?
I began working in technical communication around the time that disco died (thank heaven) and Jimmy Carter was wearing cardigan sweaters. Everything we produced took the form of printed documents. At IBM we used a relatively new markup language called SCRIPT/VS, with which we could control indentation and vertical spacing. The U.S. Government, then as now one of the most prolific publishers on the planet, had embraced MilSpecs (military specifications).
Most technical communicators at that time were still in the "hot lead" world, composing on a typewriter (usually) and than handing their content over to be typeset and printed on a literal printing press.
I've drawn a pyramid to represent the output formats and tools we worked with then. There weren't very many of them, and the distance from the bottom of the pyramid to the top — in terms of training and skill set — was pretty small.
By the time I'd settled into mid-career, desktop publishing was all the rage. Microsoft Word (introduced in the mid '80s) was already a staple of most Tech Comm departments. The World Wide Web, as it was then known, introduced many technical communicators to a new kind of writing: semantic-based tagging, in the form of HTML. We were excited to see our content displayed on computer screens and not just on printed pages.
The old formats and tools were still in place — although "hot lead" was fast fading from the scene. But the pyramid had become more crowded. The distance had increased from the top, where the cool kids got to play, to the bottom.
Nearly 20 years later, the pyramid has grown again. Many Tech Comm projects are still done in Word — probably more than with any other single tool. MilSpecs are still in common use. Hard-copy (or at least PDF) still predominates.
I used to tell my students they could do practically any job if they knew an authoring tool (besides Word), a help-authoring tool, and a graphics tool. But today's jobs increasingly require new skills like structured authoring and mobile-app development.
But we're also creating content that's integrated with the technology, and content that displays on tablets and smartphones, using new tools that are both text-based and graphical. Today, there's a sizable leap from the skills needed to work with the old technology to those needed to work with the new.
In the not-so-distant future, I see us making use of even more new formats and tools. Augmented reality. Wearable technology. Things we don't yet have a name for. Yet the demand for Word, for PDF, for the older technologies, won't go away. The pyramid continues to go higher.
So what will our profession look like?
Are we evolving to a place where everyone is a specialist and no one is a generalist? After all, while anyone can master a few technologies, it's impossible to be proficient in them all.
In light of #1, how will we buck the trend toward recruiters who seek candidates based on the tools they know?
What's the best way to train people who are entering the profession? People who are already in the profession and who want to burnish their skills?
I very much want to hear what you think. So please drop me a line (or several lines) in the comments area.

Recording Academy®'s District Advocate Day Unites Its Members to Press Congress for Continued Pandemic Relief for Music Creators
NEARLY 2,000 ACADEMY MEMBERS MOBILIZE FOLLOWING "SUMMER OF ADVOCACY" AS PART OF NATION'S LARGEST GRASSROOTS MUSIC ADVOCACY MOVEMENT
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (AUGUST 12, 2020) — Today, the Recording Academy®, which represents the interests of all music creators, will unite thousands of its members across the country with their senators and congressional representatives as a part of the Academy's 7th annual District Advocate Day — the largest nationwide day of advocacy for music and its makers.
The initiative represents the culmination of the Recording Academy's "Summer of Advocacy," and will consist of a series of virtual meetings between members and their elected officials to discuss legislative proposals that will help music creators and music businesses survive the pandemic.
"District Advocate Day has always been an important initiative for music advocacy and it's especially true now," said Harvey Mason jr., Chair and Interim President/CEO of the Recording Academy. "Creators are among the hardest hit and first out of work, yet music is what brings the world together in hard times — and for many, it brings hope. Today, we raise our voices to remind legislators of the vital role music plays during this pandemic and, equally as imperative, the creators behind it who are struggling and desperately needing a helping hand from this country's leaders."
During the Academy's "Summer of Advocacy," members played a vital role in securing important provisions in the CARES Act that provided critical support for the music community dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. To continue amplifying the voices of creators and small businesses, the Academy worked to endorse and develop additional legislation to deliver aid to creators. Today, members of the Academy will address the proposed legislation and other issues with their legislators virtually, including the HITS Act, Mixed Earner Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Act, RESTART Act, and the need for Congress to provide relief for minority-owned small businesses, such as studios, venues and labels.
District Advocate Day participants include four-time GRAMMY® winner Yolanda Adams; six-time GRAMMY nominee Brandy Clark; seven-time GRAMMY winner José Feliciano; 11-time GRAMMY winner John Legend; eight-time GRAMMY winner Ziggy Marley; two-time GRAMMY nominee Victoria Monét; three-time GRAMMY nominee Offset; and nearly 2,000 other music professionals.
District Advocate Day, along with the Recording Academy's annual GRAMMYs on the Hill® in April, are the Recording Academy's premiere advocacy events, and are credited by bipartisan legislators with helping to pass the Music Modernization Act into law — the largest update to music legislation in the past 40 years.

Jeezy Returns With 'Pressure' Album, Shares Release Date and Cover
Jeezy returns. Today (Nov. 30), the veteran Atlanta rapper revealed the title, release date and cover for his new album. The project, titled simply Pressure, will be released on Def Jam on Dec. 15.
The rhymer's announcement comes as a bit of a surprise, but it's one he's actually been teasing for a little while now. For the last several weeks, the Snowman's been using the hashtag #TrustYaProcess on his social media accounts. It appears to be a very slight flip of the Philadelphia 76ers motto of #TrustTheProcess, with Jeezy's version calling people to "trust in oneself to overcome life's most difficult challenges." Dope.
To announce Pressure, Jeezy, who signed with United Talent Agency last summer, uploaded an extra-cinematic trailer to his Instagram account. In it, Jeezy pulls up in his flossy white Ferrari before stepping onto the snow-covered road. At that exact moment, a triumphant new track, presumably from his Pressure album, begins playing, and we know the Snowman has arrived.
"PRESSURE. 12/15. #TrustYaProcess," he captions the appropriately epic trailer. You can pre-order Pressure through Jeezy's official online store and cop official #TrustYaProcess gear from the same place.
Peep Jeezy's Trap or Die 3 follow-up trailer and the full cover for Pressure below the trailer.

Samuel Smith appears on the 1800 census of Buncombe County with the following family unit: one male 26-45, one female 16-26, and 2 males 0-10, with no slaves. Samuel Smith was born 29 Aug 1765 in a public inn, in Albermarle Co, VA as his father was moving his family from Cecil Co, MD to Guilford Co, NC. He died 27 May 1856 in Rusk Co, TX, aged 90 years, 8 months and 29 days. Samuel Smith's parents were Joseph Smith, born 1 Apr 1730 in Cecil Co, MD; and Rebecca Death/D'Ath, born 29 Aug 1739 also in Cecil Co. MD.
Joseph and Rebecca Smith were members of the Nottingham Presbyterian Church of Rising Sun, MD. This church was located nearly on the boundary line between MD and PA. In the mid-1700's a fierce boundary quarrel arose between MD and PA in which several people were killed. In order to get away from this trouble, the members of the Nottingham Church elected to send representatives to western NC to negotiate for a large block of land to which in the period 1755-1765, most of the church members moved. It was to join their kinsmen and fellow church members in Guilford Co, NC, that Joseph Smith was taking his family when they had to stop at the inn in Albermarle Co, VA, for the birth of Samuel.
In the fall of 1775, Joseph Smith settled his family at the "Hawfields," on the Haw River in western NC. The family lived there until about 1781 when they moved to Pleasant Gardens about six miles NE of Davidson's Fort, now known as Old Fort. It was while living here in 1782 or 1783 that young Sam then only about 17, or 18, volunteered for a very dangerous task.
On 28 Feb 1796, Samuel Smith and Mary Jarrett were married in the home of an old friend of the family, William Welch, in Asheville, NC. Samuel and Mary settled on a farm in the Sulphur Springs neighborhood about 6 miles southwest of the present city of Asheville. They lived there until 1820, and all of their ten children were born there.
Mary Jarrett was the daughter of Daniel Jarrett and his wife Mary Catherine Moyers. Daniel Jarrett was born 18 Dec 1747 in Bucks Co, PA (now Lehigh Co). He was the youngest of the 13 children of John Jarrett, Sr, and wife Mary Lukens. Mary Catherine Moyers was born 9 Feb 1753 in what is now Lehigh Co, PA, dau of Adam Meyer/Moyers and his wife, Anna Catharina Schneider, who married 18 Oct 1748 at Williams Township Lutheran Church.
In 1820, when the western tip of NC was opened for settlement, Samuel Smith bought at public outcry in Waynesville what was known as the Tessentee Towns, later known as Smith's Bridge, as Samuel and his sons built a bridge across the Little Tennessee River. This bridge was maintained and kept in use up to the middle 1900's, when a new bridge was built.
As the children grew to adulthood, they began to scatter. Bennett Smith, the fifth son, decided in the early 1830's to go with Robert W. Smith, a close friend, but no relation, down into Georgia and work in the gold mines to earn money to go to Texas and buy land. At the end of 1835, they decided they had enough money and Robert came on to Texas in time to be in the Battle of San Jacinto; but Bennett had to go back to NC to help his father out in a land deal. Bennett didn't get to Texas until 1839. He joined Bob Smith at this home in Nacogdoches and there at a party given in his honor by Bob, he met Maryann Susan Vannoy, and on 21 Feb 1843, they were married in Bob Smith's home.
In 1847, Bennett Smith sent for his father and mother to come to Texas to live with him. Samuel Smith was 82 and his wife Mary was 72 when they made the long trip from Asheville, NC to Rusk Co, Texas by wagon train. Samuel Smith died 27 May 1856 and is buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery in the Old London community in Rusk Co, Texas. His wife Mary died 8 April 1862, and is also buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
Samuel Smith, son of Joseph Smith and Rebecca Death/D'Ath Smith, was born 29 Aug 1765 Albermarle Co, VA, and died 27 May 1856, Rusk Co, TX. He married 28 Feb 1796 in Asheville, NC, Mary Jarrett, dau of Daniel Jarrett and Mary Catherine Moyers/Meyers. Mary Jarret was born 23 June 1775 Cabarrus Co, NC, and died 8 Apr 1862 Rusk Co, TX.

Today I received from you a letter dated March 30th asking about the Smith Family here.
My Father, Rev. C.D. Smith, D.D., was reared near here until manhood. He died January 30, 1894, almost 82 years old. My father was a Methodist Minister and joined the Holston Conference about the year 1836. He was active in this Conference, preaching as Pastor and Presiding Elder until in early 1850 to 54 in Southwest Va. and East Tenn. He married Miss Margaret Bearden near Knoxville, Tenn. After Father was no longer active in the Ministry which he gave up because of throat trouble he lived in Knoxville until the year 1854 and then came back to Macon County, N.C.
He became interested in minerals. Having lost one eye he was not drafted in the Civil War. He represented North Carolina in the Cessession Convention, though personally opposed going into war. At one time he was Assistant State Geologist. At the age of eighty he was riding horseback across the Nantahala Mountains from Clay County to Macon County and attempting to dismount the horse he was riding he stepped on a running surface root which was very wet it having just rained. This threw his whole weight on his hip breaking his bone near the joint. Of course this made him unable to arise and he lay on the cold wet ground from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until a footman passed the next (Sunday) morning. It was 2 a.m. Monday before a Doctor was notified and arrived to give aid. Father was very active for his age and but for this accident no doubt would have lived into the nineties.
I, myself, am an old man being eighty-three past, since November 7th, last fall. I owned and operated a Drug Store here from 1887 until 1928 and since that time have been Prescription Clerk in the store I sold and am now on duty there. I have been a registered druggist since September 1, 1887. I feel that my days of activity are about at an end since standing on my feet about ten hours a day is now affecting my feet and legs. Perhaps this is enough for personal mention except to say I am married and have two daughters both of whom are married. My oldest daughter lives in Richmond, Va. and has three children, two girls and a boy. The oldest is 14 and the youngest is 6 years of age, all being about four years apart. My youngest daughter lives in Montgomery, Ala. and has no children. Her husband is Educational Director of the State Board of Health. The other son-in-law is a driggist and represents E.R. Squibb and Sons Drug Manufacturers.
I have one brother living, the youngest child. Cornaro who lives in Dallas, Texas. I do not hear from him very often. Rebecca Smith, is the daughter of my older brother who is dead. Rebecca is his only child was married but separated from her husband. She is probably living in Philadelphia, Pa. since she was working with the Immigration Bureau in Washington. That Department has recently moved to Philadelphia for housing room. I have not yet learned her address. She lived with me after the death of her father until she married. Her Father died when she was 14 years old. She is a lovable woman but rather sad from past experiences.
Yours of date 26 Nov is present and contents noticed and I do feel gratefull to hear from our old Father and Mother and still (marvel?) to hear of their good health and enjoyment of their proper minds for I have great horror for descaeptitude (?) and in particularly for an affliction of lapse of mind in old age.
I regret to hear of your misfortune in losing your Negroes, but all this is nothing when we are blessed with good health it gives us _______ to strive for more and for comforts.
Brother C.D. and his family has been here with us on their way to Franklin. He is mining for Copper near Franklin on the old George Patton Lands and I hope may succeed for he is perfectly taken up with the mining business, he has studied the science has an apperatus for testing minerals–but I regard it as a very uncertain business at best altho there are inducements in the hole country to stimulate a man into it. Our friend V.T. Jarrett is in the business at Duck Town and in Georgia and I suppose has been successful and has probably already maid a fortune. About Duck Town it is nothing to sell an interest in a single mine for $100,000 and in many instances still more.
To show you that we are prospering I will mention that we had a daughter born on 22 Dec–a fine healthy looking child and call it Jane Hardy. Sarah is quite well–this is 4 daughters and 3 sons living enough I think.
I have nothing else to write and I believe all of our relates and friends in this country are alive. Uncle Noah and family and Aunt Joanna are all well. I will mention for Father and Mother that J.M. Smith lost his wife last summer also Col James McKee has been dead several years and Col Lowery married the widow–and of course many of their old acquaintances are dead throughout this country. One thing more occurs to me that is Old Uncle Daniel Jarrett moved back to Buncombe this winter and they are quite destitute. Show this to Saul to Sam G and James H. and tell them to write to me and I will answer them also to sister Altha Moss. I will write her soon in answer to her last to me–Sarah James sends in love to you all and particularly to Father and Mother.

Death Cab for Cutie, live at the Tivoli in Brisbane
4 Comments on Death Cab for Cutie, live at the Tivoli in Brisbane
Unfortunately, and in keeping with the general lack of time around these parts lately, this post might need to be a bit short. But on Friday night, I saw one of my top 5 shows that I've ever seen at the Tivoli… Death Cab for Cutie. And what a set it was.
An Horse kicked off the night…
The night was started off by Brisbane band, An Horse, who I'm surprised that I hadn't heard before. Suffice to say, this duo (Kate Cooper and Damon Cox) opened up the night in cracking form, and the crowd was very receptive to them. Although their music often comes across as a sheer wall of sound, after a while the intricacies of their tunes begins to dawn on you. And, just a personal observation here, but Damon was possibly one of the tightest drummers I've ever seen perform at The Tivoli. No shit.
Anyway, the main takeaway from these guys show? If you get a chance to see them play live, grab it with both hands. It was impressive to say the least.
I've included one of their tunes below, as a taster… their cracking tune, "Warm Hands", which drew some major applause from the audience. You can tell from this track why these guys have opened for such bands as Tegan and Sara, and… of course… Death Cab.
Listen: An Horse – Warm Hands
Death Cab came onto the stage to thunderous applause…
When Death Cab for Cutie came on the stage, at around 9.30pm, the atmosphere was electric. The Tiv was pumping, and, on a side note, was containing easily the most amount of "OC fanbois and girls" that I've ever seen in one single point. The place was a literal sea of Seths and Summers.
Finally, the lights dimmed, and Gibbard et al entered the stage… and launched into, what else… but Bixby Canyon Bridge. From the first note, you could tell that the show was going to be special. Chris Walla was simply incendiary from the get-go, and Ben was bubbling with energy. Thanks to Gary taking along his new camera, we actually have quite a bit of footage from the night, and I've included the "Bixby Canyon Bridge" performance below.

Despite some early teething problems with the sound levels (as can be seen at times in the above video), Death Cab were the ever-consummate professionals, giving everything in their performance… and soon the problems were sorted out.
Death Cab wowing the crowd at the Tiv…
I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that – although this tour was ostensibly in support of their "Narrow Stairs " release – the set list that night consisted of songs from a number of their past releases, and wasn't too heavily focused on their latest album. I have to admit, I blissed out a bit at one point (as I am wont to do at gigs), so instead of a breakdown of each song's performance, here's the band's set-list from the night (with the track's album included in parenthesis):
Death Cab for Cutie, live at the Tivoli in Brisbane, 22 August 2008 Setlist
1. Bixby Canyon Bridge (Narrow Stairs )
2. The New Year (Transatlanticism )
3. Why You'd Want to Live Here (The Photo Album )
4. Crooked Teeth (Plans )
5. Long Division (Narrow Stairs)
6. Grapevine Fires (Narrow Stairs)
7. A Movie Script Ending (The Photo Album)
8. Company Calls (We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes )
9. Title Track (We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes)
10. Soul Meets Body (Plans)
11. I Will Follow You Into the Dark (Plans)
12. I Will Possess Your Heart (Narrow Stairs)
13. Cath… (Narrow Stairs)
14. No Sunlight (Narrow Stairs)
15. Sound Of Settling (Transatlanticism)
16. Marching Bands of Manhattan (Plans)
17. Your Bruise (Something About Airplanes )
18. Title and Registration (Transatlanticism)
19. 405 (We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes version)
20. Your Heart is an Empty Room (Plans)
21. Transatlanticism (Transatlanticism)
Highlights of the night, for me? Well, apart from the cop-out answer of "Everything!", I'd have to say that I went into the night hoping to hear 3 songs; "Cath…", "I Will Follow You Into The Dark", and "405"… and each of those songs were simply amazing. Particularly the tender "I Will Follow You Into The Dark", which was dedicated to opening band "An Horse", and had the entire crowd singing along with each and every syllable.

Following that? The closing number of "Transatlanticism". To be honest, it's never been one of my favourite tunes, but the performance that night was simply electric. The energy and passion of the band was, quite simply, astounding. When Ben started plaintively crying "I need you so much closer!", there truly was a feeling that something special was happening there that night… and we were carried away in a wave of emotion, riding Death Cab's anger, pain, love and passion all in one movement. It's a song that I'll remember for a while, of that I have no doubt. Here it is, below.

Anyway… sorry there isn't more detail in this post, but the problem with seeing a show on Friday, and then not posting until Monday due to being away from the computer is that you forget the small details. All that is left is that overwhelming, all-consuming feeling that you witnessed something special that night, and that – no matter how hard you try – you won't be able to communicate just how it felt to someone else, unless they'd been there.
Yeah. That pretty much sums it up quite nicely, actually.

Yeah… it's a pity I didn't zoom in at that point, the drum set was definitely being attacked!
@Cass:
No problem :)
@Peter
No problem Peter… thanks for stopping by! And yeah… Transatlanticism definitely was a major ride.


A healthy breakfast for the family.
Chop Cabbage finely, one can also grate it…but I prefer chopping. Boil the chopped cabbage in sufficient water with a pinch of salt and turmeric.
Sift wheat flour, garam masala, chilli powder, cumin seeds and one teaspoon of salt.
Make a paste of ginger, coriander leaves and green chilli.
Add the boiled cabbage and the ginger paste to the flour and mix it together to get soft dough. Keep it aside for 15 to 20 mins.
Knead the dough and divide into equal sized balls, and roll out paratha's. Let the paratha's be thin and not too thick. This makes people eat more.
Heat the tawa, place the paratha and spread some oil/ butter/ ghee…Flip and spread some oil/ butter/ ghee. Cook till both sides are well.
You can serve it with tomato chutney, curd, pickle or sauce.
The parathas turned out to be so soft and yummy…I had it for breakfast and lunch also.People having kids at home should try this out for sure…a healthy one.
In a small kadai, heat 1 teaspoon oil. Add cumin seeds, the ginger paste.
Fry for some time, then add the grated carrot, turmeric, salt and. Keep it on low flame for 5-10 mins.
Sift wheat flour, garam masala, chilli powder and one teaspoon of salt.
Add the carrot mix to the flour and knead a soft dough and keep aside for 10-15 mins.
Once they splutter add ginger, chilli & chopped onions. Fry till golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes and sauté till cooked.
Add the cooked macaroni/pasta. Add tomato sauce if desired.
Yummy Pasta with the Indian tadka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make a paste of ginger & coriander leaves.
Marinate Mushrooms and Paneer with ginger paste and keep aside.
In the meanwhile, heat oil in a pan, add the chopped capsicum and fry until the raw smell leaves.
Put in the chopped onions and fry till golden brown.
Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté till cooked.
Now add the marinated mushrooms and paneer. Cook for 10-15 mins.
Take the Pizza base/ bread, spread 2 teaspoon of butter and tomato sauce.
Spread the vegetable topping prepared. Grate 1 cube of cheese on top.
Heat a tawa. Spread some butter. Keep the pizza and add some more butter on the sides.
Keep a plate on top of the tawa and let the pizza cook for 10 mins on medium flame.
Remove the pizza and cut it with pizza cutter/ knife.
Grate some more cheese…and have it with sauce….
A great healthy dish for your kids.

Another public fund to skim off of.
Franks is a disgrace and a public danger given his erratic behavior of a sexual sort.
Why was he banned from the state capitol's precincts without police escorts?
Family farm?
He's a real Fiddler on the Roof type all right.

Perhaps the position of dog catcher would be more suitable
as well as more appropriate for the likes of Mr. Franks.

You know how farms work.
Isn't it about time you were weaned?
Or is that the only office where you're allowed in?

How to solve the clock puzzle in The Medium
By Harry Shepherd published 29 January 21
Turn back time (and back again) to search the hidden room.
(Image credit: Bloober Team)
If you're stuck on The Medium's clock puzzle, you're not the only one. There's me, for one; I struggled with this particular head-scratcher longer than I care to admit. But I got there in the end, so I'm here to help you, too, as you try to search the hidden room in The Medium.
Just after you meet the hair-raising little girl called Sadness on the second floor (in the nightmarish spirit world), your next objective is to investigate Thomas' office. However, as you may have found in The Medium's tie clip mini puzzle at the beginning of the game, the solution can be a little unclear.
In this guide, I'll show you how to access the secret room connected to Thomas' office in The Medium, helping you find the key to the time-hopping grandfather clock, the right points in time to visit, and the hidden switch.
The Medium: Thomas' office and how to get the clock key
Start the puzzle by heading behind the desk at the centre of the room. When you press X (Bloober Team recommends you play on a controller) to take a closer look of the ravaged workspace, look down to the floor: Here you'll find a flashlight and a 'Small Key'.
With the key acquired, approach the tall grandfather clock against the wall farthest from you, next to some battered bookshelves. Look up and to the left of the clock face to use the key and access the clock's mysterious powers.
The Medium clock puzzle: How to search the hidden room
As you hit X again to interact with the clock, you're screen will be split: One with the clock face to the left, and the other with a view of the office in the spirit world. At this point it is the farthest forward in time you can be (ten o'clock). All you can do is move time with left joystick backwards from here, and you'll notice Thomas' office in the spirit world change as you do so. In other words, the rash of pustules are replaced with gross skin. Ew.
At certain points as you rewind time, an ethereal form of Thomas appears—a sort of spiritual snapshot. Each time you see a new form, exit the clock screen with B and interact with Thomas for some new information. The times of each form of spectral Thomas are as follows:
9:30: Thomas stands over his desk.
8:45: Thomas looks out the window with one hand over his mouth.
7:15: Thomas walks away from the secret room.
4:50: Thomas reaches towards the entrance of the hidden room.
4:00: Thomas stands behind his desk. A spirit well appears.
Once you get to four o'clock, you can go no earlier. You'll notice, however, that as your scrubbing through time, a door in the far corner reveals itself—this is the secret room. Here are the times that this happens:
To proceed you need to scroll to the earliest possible point, back out with B, and approach the desk with the spirit well blooming, and absorb it as spirit world Marianne (A). Next, go back forward to one of the times above that the secret door is open. Only spirit Marianne can enter this space, so you'll need to initiate an 'out-of-body experience' (hold B) to get in. Just make sure you don't spend too long in this form, as it can kill you if you don't return to your body in time.
Inside the room, there's a fuse box against the far wall, just like the one that you needed to power up the lift earlier in the game. Unleash the spirit energy you collected earlier (hold right trigger) and you'll see sparks running along the wall towards the hidden room's entrance. Leave your sprit form after that.
Back in the real world, the entrance to the hidden room you passed through in the spirit world is blocked by a wooden unit full of photo frames and trinkets. There's no prompt for this, but you need to inspect it and use Marianne's Insight ability (hold left bumper) to see the outline of an obscured switch. Hit both Xs that appear near the now-revealed switch and the secret room fully reveals itself.
And there you have it, you've solved The Medium's clock puzzle and accessed Thomas' secret room. But the question remains: Are you prepared for what you'll find inside?

The Bio-resources Innovations Network for Eastern Africa Development (BioInnovate) Programme is a regional initiative established in 2010 with support from Sida to support bioscience research and innovation activities in eastern Africa.
It addresses regional priorities in science, technology and innovation aligned with the AU-NEPAD's Science Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA), the science agenda for Africa (S3A) and the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). The Programme envisions a region with an ecosystem that supports bio-innovation as a driver for sustainable growth.
The absence of proper technology and business incubation mechanisms, as well as enabling policy that would move bioscience innovations along the innovation chain and to the marketplace, has been a big hindrance in integrating bioresources into key sectors like agriculture, environment, and industry in eastern Africa. Conscious of the limited capability of the research organisations and academia in the region to move research output from the experimental set up to the marketplace, BioInnovate has applied an innovation systems approach to catalyse the translation of research outputs to innovations in a sustainable manner for impact.
poverty alleviation and inclusive growth.
malt drink, instant flour, complementary composite flour, and snack products from sorghum were developed and pilot tested for market and economic feasibility. A model seed system involving research institutions, micro-propagating private sector players and NGOs that rapidly multiplies quality sweet potato plantlets was also tested in Uganda and Kenya. In addition, seven (7) industrially preferred canning-bean varieties were released and are being taken up by the private sector in the region. These bean varieties show strong promise of impacting farmer livelihoods, creating business opportunities for traders and removing bottlenecks that the processing industry faces in accessing good quality canning beans. Furthermore, innovative solutions for biopesticides and bioenhancers for maize, tomato and eggplant were developed.
The Programme also developed innovative approaches adaptable to the local environment for wastewater treatment that not only focus on meeting environmental standards but also resource recovery. The innovations entail treating the wastewater through a two-step process involving biodigestion followed by a polishing step using a constructed wetland that purifies the water further to meet national discharge standards. The innovative systems installed at the three industrial sites in Tanzania, Uganda, and Ethiopia resulted in 99% removal of pollutants, thus meeting effluent discharge standards and at the same time capturing methane as biogas, which is combusted to recover energy. The process also generates nutrient-rich sludge that can be used for crop cultivation and nutrients for hydroponic systems. Furthermore, new ways of using sisal and coffee wastes as substrates for mushroom growing and recovering biogas from the used substrate were piloted in Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia.
In Phase I vital policy support information and tools were generated to facilitate uptake and adoption of the technologies that the BioInnovate consortia in the region developed. Capacity building activities resulted in the training of 7 PhDs and 38 MScs through the Programme's consortium based projects. BioInnovate Phase I demonstrated and shared experiences on the deployment of a regional competitive multicountry, multidisciplinary and multistakeholder biosciences innovation funding mechanism aimed at catalysing the translation of research outputs into scalable and impactful innovations, through the creation and strengthening of innovation platforms. It reveals lessons on what has worked and can be considered good practice and what did not work, to guide future Programme design and implementation.
BioInnovate Phase II builds on the achievements of Phase I, and addresses recommendations of the BioInnovate Mid-Term and Final Reviews. The main difference between BioInnovate Phase I and BioInnovate Phase II is that the programme will develop more capacity and devote more resources towards assisting innovation projects move further along the innovation chain into the market. In Phase II, the BioInnovate Programme will develop robust mechanisms for supporting innovation for inclusive growth. In so doing, it will cultivate relationships with key partners who can deliver innovations to end-users and generate investment from the private sector and social investors. BioInnovate Phase II will also develop selective partnerships with key actors playing a critical role in bridging the gap between innovative research and sustainable end-user impact. BioInnovate Phase II intends to take advantage of the experiences from Phase I to develop the best bioscience innovation platform in Africa. Phase II will build on the earlier Sida investment in this area, to create a stronger innovation-driven, user-oriented platform that promotes inclusive and sustainable growth in the region.
The thematic focus areas for BioInnovate Phase II build on and strengthen some of the focus areas in Phase I, but with a more targeted approach towards opportunities that have the capability of delivering value to smallholder farmers and agribusinesses within the next five years. The focus areas for BioInnovate II are: (1) value addition to agro-produce and creation of agribusiness opportunities for smallholder farmers; (2) value addition to agrowaste/biowaste, in support of climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability; and (3) development of policies, capacity and tools to deliver developed bioscience innovations to resource-poor farming and agroprocessing systems.
The primary goal of Bio-Innovate Phase II is to improve livelihoods of smallholder farmers and profitability of agroprocessing enterprises in eastern Africa, while ensuring environmental sustainability. The intended outcome of BioInnovate Phase II is enhanced capacity of Eastern African universities, research organisations and firms, to translate modern biosciences into innovations targeting smallholder farmers and agroprocessing enterprises in the region.
a. Generate biosciences innovations that address the needs of smallholder farmers and agro-processors in the region.
affiliated organisations. Students at MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral levels will participate in the research teams, not only to provide research support but also to be trained in relevant skills to promote bioscience innovation that benefits smallholder farmers and agroprocessing actors. Furthermore, scientists will be trained, through targeted short-term courses, in new techniques and processes of value addition, entrepreneurship, business development and related topics.
BioInnovate Phase II will support the identification, analysis and evaluation of policies, regulations and incentives relevant to the needs of project teams within the BioInnovate Programme. The Programme will also support a range of targeted activities geared towards implementation of policies within participating partner organisations or relevant government agencies that address the needs of BioInnovate scientists along with smallholder farmers and agroprocessors. Part of the policy analysis and evaluation will include techno-economic assessment and market feasibility studies for the technologies or products developed by the Programme.
BioInnovate Phase II will specifically support the transition of the Programme into an independent legal entity for bioscience innovations promotion in eastern Africa. This regional entity will ensure continuity of the network of bioscientists and innovators created during Bio-EARN and BioInnovate Phases I & II. The entity will also create new networks that will ensure continued translation of modern biosciences into useful products and services for the benefit of smallholder farmers and agroprocessing actors in eastern Africa. The process of establishing the entity will include consultations with, and buy-in from, key regional stakeholders (such as the national councils and commissions for science and technology, universities, the private sector, public research organisations and other regional scientific organisations). It will also involve preparing the entity's charter and documents necessary to get it registered within the region.
building activities related to value addition, policy analysis, and product incubation. Capacity building activities may include short-term training as well as graduate training.To assist projects to effectively move forward along the innovation chain, a Stage-Gate process will be applied as a crucial and effective instrument to manage all projects, thus enabling progression of successful projects and adjustment or termination of non-performing ones. Stop-Go decisions will be made in a timely manner and will be based on clear criteria. The Stage-Gate process breaks each project into discrete and identifiable stages, where each Stage is designed to gather information needed to move the project forward to the next gate or decision point. The Stage-Gate process is also a suitable mechanism to handle and effectively phase out inefficient or less successful projects.
Programme management will be strengthened with increased competence in entrepreneurship, business, and marketing skills. Phase II Programme management will consist of a Programme Advisory Committee, a Programme Management Office and Consortium Project Leaders in the implementing organisations in the region. The Programme is based at the world headquarters of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe) in Nairobi, Kenya, to strengthen regional ownership.
BioInnovate Phase II is funded by Sida to the tune of SEK 100.7 million for five years. BioInnovate welcomes complementary funding from partners, recognising the increased costs that are likely to be incurred, as projects move further along the innovation chain. Already, there is a positive indication that some of the national councils and commissions for science and technology in the region will show commitment to provide both in-kind and direct financial support as matching funds in the process of implementing country-specific BioInnovate-supported innovative projects. Additionally, private sector actors involved in implementing the Phase II innovative projects are also expected to contribute 25% of the total project budget as complementary matching funds. Moreover, concerted efforts will be made to mobilise resources from other potential donors and impact investors, as well as social and private sector investors.


GULFPORT, Miss. -- More than 200 South Mississippi children with developmental delays will no longer get the therapy they need.
Studies have shown that every dollar spent on early intervention saves $3 in the long run. But state budget cuts have slashed funding in half for a coast program that works with children from birth until they turn three.
What happens to these babies now is what has a lot of parents and therapists very concerned.
Gracie Herrington of Lucedale was born severely pre-mature with Chronic Lung Disease and Down Syndrome. Her parents were braced for the worst.
"The doctors told them she probably would not survive," said Judy Rowe, one of the founders of Coastal Plains' Bright Beginnings program.
But the four pound baby girl proved them all wrong, and with the help of several early intervention therapists, the now 2 year old Gracie is thriving.
"She has improved so much she's learning to walk, she's starting to run and go up and down steps," Rowe said.
But because of state budget cuts, more than 200 developmentally delayed children like Gracie will no longer get the physical, occupational or speech therapy they need.
"For the last two weeks of December, we halted all services," Rowe said sadly.
Coastal Plains Executive Director Elisabeth Pell said the whole situation is heartbreaking.
"I've had several parents break down and cry because they were so upset," Pell said.
As the Coastal Plains program director, Pell has had to break the news to not only parents of disabled children, but to the therapists she's had to lay off.
"We got a grant for $250,000. Half of it was given to us up front, the other half was supposed to be given to us after the first of the year," Pell said.
But now with the sudden lack of funding, children without insurance will no longer get the treatment they need, unless the community comes to their rescue to keep this vital program going.
"We need fund raising help," Pell said. "We need people to step forward to say, 'What can I do for your program?'"

Programmable parameters include pre-cooling time, grinding time, cooling time between grinding periods, the number of grinding periods, and the frequency of grinding impacts.
The Cole & Mason Keswick Salt and Pepper Mill Gift Set is a miniature version of the original Keswick Mills that were sold separately. This mill set is perfect for everyday use as well as food preparation and is a wonderful housewarming gift.
Retsch's MM400 mixer mill offers the possibility of producing sample series and influence ambient conditions, for example, by pre-cooling the grinding jars in liquid nitrogen. Finally, in 2010, SPEX SamplePrep LLC introduced the 6970 Enclosed Freezer/Mill®, which was based on the 6870 model.
A larger grinding chamber works with a burr grinding disc that rotates quickly to break down those beans into the right type of powder or grinds, and this disc also reduces the risk of the grinder overheating.
Roller Mill Machinery can be used for grinding of wheat, maize, barley, malt, millet, sorghum and any other grinding applications. Horizontal configuration with direct pickup with feed roll engaged and disengaged.
The Aerofall mill is sometimes used for pre-grinding large wet feeds. It is a short, large-diameter semi-autogenous mill, typically containing 15% by volume of very large (130 mm) grinding balls. Feed can be up to 250 mm, and the larger chunks produce much of the grinding action.
A Tube Mill was originally a relatively long mill with media consisting of small pebbles, used for fine grinding. Later, mills that combined these two functions were called Combination Mills . However, since 1930, all mills have been combination mills, and are now called ball mills or tube mills, the terms being more-or-less interchangeable.
Cole & Mason Derwent Gourmet Precision Mills are made with elegant timeless top of the line quality. Gourmet precision mills are easy to fill; simply pull off top.
The angle of the grinding plate, or blade, can make a big difference in the effectiveness of the mill. Plates with a steeper angle often stir food around the mill without pressing it through the sieve.

Raymond George Carter (14 April 1933 – 13 November 2012) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Warwickshire between 1951 and 1961. He was born in Small Heath, Birmingham, but no place of death is recorded on the main cricket websites.

Carter was a tail-end right-handed batsman and a right-arm bowler who began as a fast-medium opening bowler but who later developed a second style, bowling off-breaks. As a multi-purpose bowler, he had two good seasons with the Warwickshire first eleven in 1957 and 1958.

Carter first appeared in first-class cricket in non-County Championship matches in Warwickshire's Championship-winning season of 1951 and playing as a fast-medium opening bowler; he took four for 64 in the first innings of his first game, against Scotland. From 1952, he was on National Service and when he returned to Warwickshire in 1955, he faced competition for a fast-bowling place from other young bowlers, including Roly Thompson, Jack Bannister and Keith Dollery. He remained an irregular first-team player until the 1957 season, when his versatility won him a fairly regular place in the team, playing 23 matches, the most he managed in any single season. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack's obituary of Carter in its 2013 edition testified to the usefulness of his different bowling styles: he "took five for 56 against Nottinghamshire with his quicker stuff, then seven for 57 with off-cutters a fortnight later to set up victory over Gloucestershire at Bristol". In 1957, he took 70 wickets at the somewhat high (for the time) average of 29.15; in the wet summer of 1958, he did even better from 21 matches, taking 81 wickets at 20.01. The 1958 figures included his single most successful match, the game against Somerset in which he took six for 54 in the first innings and eight for 82 in the second; the second-innings analysis was the best of his career and the 14 wickets for 136 in the match were the only time in his first-class career that he took 10 wickets or more in a game. He was awarded his county cap for his bowling in 1958.

From 1959, however, Carter was beset by both injury and loss of form: his wickets were few in number and expensive in both the 1959 and 1961 seasons, and he was injured for much of the 1960 season with a chronic back condition. In the less than exacting context of a game against Cambridge University in 1961, he batted at No 11 and scored 37 in a last-wicket partnership with Gordon Marshall, and this was his highest first-class score. But it was the penultimate match of his first-class career and he left the Warwickshire staff at the end of the season.

2022 U.S. Midterms: The American Agenda
On November 8th, Americans will once again head to the polls to determine the makeup of the Congress.
With majorities of both the House and Senate at stake, the U.S. midterms represent a hugely consequential election, deciding the ability of both parties to drive their legislative priorities for the next two years and of the administration to push forward the President's agenda.
The election also offers a measurement of former President Trump's influence over the Republican party, with several Trump-aligned candidates up in critical states like Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Ahead of the 2022 midterms, H+K's U.S. Public Affairs team hosted a global virtual panel to explore some of the issues and their consequences for America's domestic and global political future.
The impressive panel line-up made for an informative discussion about the substantive issues heading into this election and how the outcome could shape the American agenda going forward.
