75 Open Source Apps To Replace Popular Security Software
By Cynthia Harvey
Hackers seem to be successfully attacking almost everyone these days. Already this year, the news has included high-profile cyberattacks targeting Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Chase, Evernote, The Federal Reserve, Twitter, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Reuters, The New York Times and other companies.
While no security software can provide complete protection from every cyberattack, the open source community has developed a variety of tools that home users, small businesses and enterprises can use to improve their security profile. Many of these open source projects are of a very high quality—in fact, many have won awards and some have been incorporated into commercial applications.
Below and on the following pages, we've collected some of the best of these open source security applications and listed them with similar commercial software to provide a general idea of their capabilities. We update this list about once a year. For 2013, we extended it significantly, as well as updating information on tools we've already covered and eliminating some of the tools that are no longer regularly patched.
As always, if you know of additional open source security tools that you think should be on our list, please note them in the comments section below.

Pupils taste working life in Trial by Buffet
CHILDREN from Weaverham High School sampled life as a chef when they took part in a pilot programme to publicise Young Apprenticeships.
Leanne Moss and James Orchard, both 14, were part of two teams of budding Jamie Olivers and Nigella Lawsons taking part in a Trial By Buffet.
The event, supported by the Learning and Skills Council, was held to highlight the opportunities open to teenagers making their subject choices at school.
Through the Young Apprentice-ship programme students can now opt for practical and work-based courses in different work fields. The event was to highlight the opportunities of working in the hospitality industry across Cheshire, which has a major shortage of qualified staff.
Young Apprenticeships are designed to bridge the gap between schools, colleges and employers. Apprenticeships are also available in engineering; other work sectors are also being examined.
The students, selected from high schools across Cheshire, were split into two teams and battled against each other in a culinary competition to produce a sumptuous buffet under guidance of industry chefs.
The mouth-watering spread was then served to teachers and parents at a celebration where Neil Smith from the Cheshire and Warrington Learning Skills Council awarded prizes to the 'Best Star in the Kitchen' for each team and 'Best Team Display'.
He said: 'The taster will allow young people to make an informed decision about their curriculum options for the next two years, and hopefully they will embark on the Young Apprentice-ship programme and gain an industrially relevant qualification, experience and skills to stand them in good stead, whatever they choose to do in the future.'

RSAMMD ACQUISITIONS LLC AND PROTEXT MOBILITY, INC. (TXTM) PROVIDE SHAREHOLDERS UPDATE AND NEAR TERM ROAD MAP
Johannesburg, South Africa, August 01, 2022 – McapMediaWire – Republic of South Africa Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Acquisitions LLC ("RSAMMDA.LLC") and Protext Mobility, Inc (OTC PINK: TXTM) are pleased to provide the following business update.
Dylon Du Plooy, Protext CEO, commented "#TXTMTribe, we want to thank you all for coming together in unity to push the movement forward, your dedication has not gone unnoticed, We thank you for the harmony we have seen across the platforms and look forward to taking this journey together, let's change the world.
We have some exciting news regarding the next generation live plant extraction technology. As previously reported in 2020, under special permission from the State (who took possession of the Kettles in 2018) we were able to ship one of the Kettle units to New Castle Permitted Farms for conducting initial testing to validate whether we could produce a full profile, non-psychoactive extract using live Genus Cannabis Sativa Plants. While the testing was successful, additional testing on Genus Cannabis Sativa was not possible due to the off-season and lack of biomass and the extraction equipment had to be returned to the State after the day of testing. We have always envisioned commercializing this extraction technology for our own purposes, as well as, for potential global licensing. However, we needed to get the Kettle equipment back for additional testing.
We are pleased to report that through the human capital and the credibility of our Government Relationships, our permits and licenses being in place at New Castle Farms, allowing for the transportation of the Kettle and our conducting R & D for Genus Cannabis Sativa, as well as for the integration of this equipment, technology and processes for commercialization, we have been granted the use of the kettle without any time constraints.
How did this happen? It's been a series of lengthy negotiations and proposals submitted to the State. Over the past few months prior to merger, we have been in negotiations with the State to regain possession of the Kettle Extraction Equipment to continue with the final phase of testing before moving into the closed loop system and onto Commercialization. As part of the process, we have had to allow the State Senior Representative permission to come to the farm and conduct inspections at Leeds BOERDERY, Controlled by Dr. Jamaloodeen, for the purpose of the kettle finding its new home. Subsequently, the inspection and one on one meetings with State inspectors were such a success that permission was granted by unanimous decision and further to that the State has enthusiastically entered into and requested amongst other things a discussion to be part of our Pilot being at the forefront of Genus Cannabis Sativa in the world.
When we talk about the value of the merger and the human capital that came with it, there are certain business developments that would simply not be possible without existing infrastructure in place controlled by current management. As an example, the kettle falls under cannabis paraphernalia and requires both a permit and cross county insurance to qualify Genus Cannabis Sativa for in-transit insurance policy… notwithstanding crossing of provinces (Equivalent of states in USA), Guess who has been the first and only one ever to be issued this in in-transit insurance to date (Dr J – Tata) who has benevolently allowed the TXTM Tribe use of the same, due to the shift in energy over the past week promoting the TXTM Tribe Random Acts Of Kindness are infections, so much so, that he has included the use of the truck, diesel, driver, tolls and insurance to relocate the kettle to Newcastle.
Getting back to the Technology, if we look at the progress that was achieved in a single afternoon at the farm the last time the kettle visited, how much more productive will we be now that it's found its final Home in Dr Hurley's Laboratory. Currently Dr H is extracting at least 2.5 times higher Cannabinoid recover retention rate than most others globally and at a significantly higher overall potency per liter and at a significantly lower cost. Now factor in what the impact of potentially being 10-15 times more bio-available as previously proven with using the same extraction equipment for Phytofare green tea capsules under scientific clinical studies conducted at Preclinical Drug Development Platform (PCDDP) With greater bioavailability comes significantly less dosage, of full extract cannabis oil usage, to produce the same result notwithstanding our significantly lower overall cost of production and operating cost which equates to exponential Profits for $TXTM and conceivably year on year disproportionately high increases in EBIDA.
Rogers primary objective was to produce the slow release, long acting, and therefore effective caps and herewith capsules currently being manufactured at Dr H's lab with full global distribution and existing customer base, it was previously overlooked that the same formulations can be used in other products of which the TruLeaf Line is already established globally as one client only, to make it tangible.
To get from the point of the kettle arriving at the farm to the point we have just discussed requires permits , biomass , customer base globally, distribution channels, export permits, import permits into international jurisdictions, expertise, credibility, cash flow, resources and like Roger mentioned machinery, technology and the experts to lead the same and "just like that" by a simple merger in good faith with blessed intentions all of the previously mentioned and necessary enablement became available to TXTM as Our Devotion towards the random acts of kindness.
To put this in context these were just "some of the hurdles" Roger could not get over, so the future for TXTM and the Subsequent Healing that will result globally is more eminent and the time line shortened significantly.
$TXTM is now significantly closer than it ever has been to commercialization in its history.
Dr. Jamaloodeen commented: " And now, with the acquisition complete Protext has management in place with the knowledge, Government relationships and other, compliance, resources, facilities, biomass, human capital and infrastructure that is invaluable. The Permits we are in possession of allow for Genus Cannabis Sativa import, export, grow & cultivation, research, testing, developing end product for global distribution, all of which are anticipated to be utilized by Protext with the end goal to commercialize the live plant extraction technology and bring superior end products to the global market. Having technology that's been proven to increase bioavailability by 10-15x greater is Significant and puts us Miles ahead of all competitors. Additional testing is anticipated to be conducted over the next few weeks as we are excited to announce the kettle equipment has arrived back at the farm and Now rests safely in the Laboratory it's new Home. The testing will focus on maximizing yield as well as testing various strains of Genus Cannabis Sativa. We will also begin conducting the R&D using the New Age Extraction Technology for other Indigenous Plant Flora with medicinal properties.
I feel that the Significance of the Extraction Technology with its 10-15X Bioavailability has been over looked and that is due to the complexity of the science and lack of understanding by the shareholders but in layman's, terms we stand to produce Natural Plant Base Medicine with 10-15 Times more Bioavailability than current products on the market.
As we are focused on the reduction of opioids in the pharmaceutical industry we look towards the indigenous plant flora for their healing properties and turn back towards natural plant based medicine from whence it came.
Dr.J continued, "As we previously stated, but worth repeating, we entered into this transaction with Protext as we believe there to be numerous synergies by allowing access to certain assets of our established business' with Protext as well as commercialize the Protext proprietary live plant extraction technology and processes into our existing Genus Cannabis Sativa infrastructure. Prior to the merger, Protext had collaborated with RSAMMD and Leeds Boerdery, whereby the companies utilized Protext's proprietary live plant extraction technology along with Kettle extraction equipment to conduct a series of live cannabis extraction testing at New Castle Farm under permits for Genus Cannabis Sativa, with the goal to produce an emulsion rich with cannabinoid but with little to no conversion of THC-A to psychoactive THC. We undertook a series of tests to prove out that the Kettle system and extraction technologies did what they were supposed to do. As part of our previous investigations, various tests were completed using live cannabis flower and leaf, rendered into liquid emulsions supplied by the farm in New Castle. Prior to now, it was hypothecated that processing live Genus Cannabis Sativa under lower temperatures would yield a rich nano-emulsion of phytocannabinoids while retaining the non-psychoactive precursor acid form (THC-A). Our investigations have conclusively demonstrated that full-spectrum cannabinoids can be extracted using the proprietary Kettle system, with minimal metabolic conversion, paving the way for advancement of medical research using non-psychoactive cannabis. What has also intrigued us are the findings from prior research and clinical trials that have shown that the Kettle system, when applied to other medicinal plants, can create an extract that is significantly more bioavailable (10-15x) than a standard extract. This means that our cannabis extract should be more potent while providing a dose that could potentially last up to 24 hours in the bloodstream, which is in-line with prior clinical results using other medicinal plants. Medically, this opens the door to a line of natural pharmaceuticals derived from cannabis but at a fraction of the price and with potentially superior outcomes. From a business perspective, an increase of bioavailability in that magnitude can be a game changer for cultivators as it essentially could increase the net yield by a factor of 10-15x per plant, per acre, per farm."
"All of this work was made possible through existing permits and Infrastructure to conduct research and testing of Genus cannabis sativa at the New Castle Farm, managed and controlled by Dr.J. We are enthusiastic about commercializing the proprietary extraction technology. By devising a way to extract the phytocannabinoids without metabolic conversion of THC-A, we can retain the entourage effect and the full medical potential of Genus Cannabis Sativa, but without the psychoactive property delivered by THC. We believe what we have now shown is a scientifically important milestone and a technology breakthrough that has global significance and we look forward to taking this to commercialization which may include global licensing opportunities to other grow and extraction facilities around the world, This is the turning point of $TXTM in it's history thus far " concluded Protext CEO, Mr. Du Plooy. #LetsGoTXTM

Who Was Henry Koerner?
Five facts you should know about the artist
By Zoe Fortin
Henry Koerner lived a life marked by war and loss but also tremendous success and acclaim. Under the Overpass, Rose Arbor, The Sea and The Showboat are four of Koerner's masterpieces we have had the privilege to place into great collections. Here, they serve as starting points to explore the artist's incredible life and work.
1. Henry Koerner suffered great loss in his life
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. Under the Overpass, 1949. Oil on masonite. 30 x 38 inches. Signed on the reverse. Collection of the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York.
Born in Vienna, Henry Koerner fled his native Austria in 1938 when Hitler annexed the country and found his way to Brooklyn, New York, after going through Italy. When in 1946, he returned to Vienna for the first time, the artist discovered his entire family had died; in an email dated April 29, 2011, his son Joseph Leo Koerner noted: "I do not know if he actually knew this, but they were in fact transported from Vienna, via Minsk, to a death camp called Maly Trostinec, in Belarus. I found the train schedule of that train, from Vienna all the way there, and the names of my grandparents.[1]" Henry Koerner's losses may have inspired Under the Overpass, in which a train can be seen on a bridge, under which a woman, possibly the artist's mother, is depicted crying.
2. He started his career designing war posters and sketching during the Nuremberg trials
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. Someone Talked!. c. 1943. Photolithograph. 32 ¾ x 23 ½ inches. Collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
Henry Koerner at the exhibition "National War Poster Competition." November 25, 1942–January 3, 1943. Photographic Archive. The Museum of Modern Art Archives, New York. IN207.6. Photograph by Phil Caputo.
After settling in New York, Henry Koerner, who was trained as a graphic artist in Vienna, worked at a studio designing book covers for detective stories. Koerner found initial success as a poster artist, winning several prizes. Someone Talked!, for example, reflects his knowledge of mystery novels and won an award from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
Following this prize, the Graphics Division of the Office of War Information hired Henry Koerner, where he met painter Ben Shahn. A U.S. citizen, Koerner was later drafted and assigned to the Graphics Division of the Office of Strategic Services where he continued to make posters until 1945, when he was sent to Germany to document the Nuremberg trials.
3. Henry Koerner was a master of Magic Realism
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. The Showboat, 1948. Tempera on masonite, 481⁄2 x 26 inches. Private collection.
Hieronymus Bosch, Dutch, c. 1450 –1516. Ship of Fools, c. 1490. 22.8 × 13.0 inches. Musée du Louvre.
Alfred H. Barr, Jr., MoMA's first director, initially described Magic Realism on the occasion of "American Realists and Magic Realists," an exhibition organized at the museum in 1943 which included Charles Sheeler, Jared French and John Atherton, among others. Barr noted the "term sometimes applied to the work of painters who by means of an exact realistic technique try to make plausible and convincing their improbable, dreamlike or fantastic visions[2]."
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. The Sea, 1949. Oil on masonite. 30 x 38 inches. Signed and dated lower left. Work retains original artist-selected Heydenryk frame. Museum collection.
Sandro Botticelli, Italian, c. 1445 – 1510. The Birth of Venus, c 1484. 5′ 8" x 9′ 2". Uffizi, Florence.
While Henry Koerner's work was not included in the show, he is considered a master of Magic Realism and his son Joseph noted in an email to Annabel Patterson that Koerner thought "he was the greatest painter of his time, not only technically but spiritually, as he [he claimed] had resolved the relation between Realism and Abstraction that had vexed painting since Cézanne.[3]" Koerner often cited Coney Island as well the Prater, an amusement park located near his childhood home where fantasy and performance reigned, as great sources of inspiration. These influences can be seen in The Showboat, which can also be linked to Ship of Fools by Hieronymus Bosch. The Sea also evokes Coney Island's influence while recalling Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and Giotto's staging of figures.
4. He created over twenty covers for TIME
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. Senator John Kennedy, 1957. TIME cover. December 2, 1957 © 1957 Time Inc.
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. Julie Harris as Joan of Arc, 1957. TIME cover. November 28, 1955 © 1955 Time Inc.
Henry Koerner's first cover for TIME featured Julie Harris as Joan of Arc and was published in 1955. Over the following years, Koerner depicted celebrities such as Maria Callas, Henry Moore, David Rockefeller and Barbara Streisand, his last cover for the magazine highlighting Senator Edward Brooke, in 1967. While the influence of Magic Realism is still very much present, the portraits executed for TIME show a different style for Koerner, who noted in 1951: "Instead of painting just people I made them real portraits. I tried very hard for likeness.[4]" Speaking about the process his father followed to create these covers, Joseph Leo Koerner noted in an email: "He always did the whole portrait from life: over many sittings, though without a preparatory sketch. He had to work fast. He painted an underpainting in oil paint thinned with turpentine, let that dry, and painted the rest in 2 or 3 more sittings. All this took several days. Some sitters were rude.[5]"
5. Henry Koerner was extremely successful during his life
Henry Koerner, American, 1915–1991. Rose Arbor, 1947. Oil on masonite. 28 x 35 inches. Private collection.
Shortly after learning about the tragic fate of his family, Henry Koerner had his first solo exhibition, which included My Parents, an homage to his deceased family. Held in Berlin in 1947, the show received immediate acclaim for his work. LIFE Magazine, in its edition from May 10, 1948, noted the exhibition "created a sensation in Germany,[6]" adding that "no new artist in years has been accorded the sudden, unanimous praise received by Koerner.[7]" Concurrently, Midtown Galleries began to represent him and hosted Henry Koerner's first solo American exhibition in early 1948, in which The Showboat was included. With critical acclaim also came museum recognition: the Whitney Museum of American Art purchased Vanity Fair while MoMA purchased Rose Arbor, as noted in the press release for "American Paintings from the Museum Collection," an exhibition held in 1948-49.

Changing your user agent in Firefox takes a few simple steps.
While Firefox has a standard settings interface for changing common settings, the interface for changing advanced settings such as the user agent in Firefox is done via the browser itself. Please open a blank window or tab.
The "about:config" system will give you access to change special settings which might make your Firefox unusable or behave strangely. Firefox will give you a warning about this to make you aware of it.
The warning will say "This might void your warranty". Don't worry, you don't actually have a warranty from Mozilla and you are not voiding anything, this is a confusing and silly attempt at being funny by the Firefox developers.
As long as you follow the instructions here, you should be fine.
Firefox's settings are stored as a series of Preference Names and Values. The initial display of "about:config" will show you the hundreds of settings which Firefox is using. You can scroll through them to have a look if you're curious. Just be careful to not change anything unintentionally!
The setting to change your user agent doesn't exist in a default installation of Firefox; you need to create it yourself.
To do that, you can Right-Click any where on the list of preferences and go to the "New" item which will be in the menu that appears. The "New" menu item then expands to show you three options: "String", "Integer" and "Boolean".
Create a new "String" preference by clicking on it.
Firefox will ask you for the new Preference name: enter general.useragent.override and Press "OK"
Once you've entered your desired user agent string, press "OK" again. Firefox will now use that user agent when you make requests.
You can test out your new user agent by visiting our homepage and setting what we detect it as!
Now that you have selected your default browser for macOS, you can close the Preferences window (by clicking the red dot in the top-left corner) and resume your web browsing.
Firefox will continue to use the user agent you've set until you delete the preference you've created.
To do that, search for the general.useragent.override preference in the "about:config" window; if you've still got the preference in your system, it will appear, displaying what you've changed it to. If it doesn't appear then Firefox presumably isn't overriding your user agent any more. Double check what Firefox is sending as your user agent. Maybe the setting has already been reset?
Once you have found the preference that is overriding your user agent, get rid of it by Right-Clicking on it and selecting "Reset".
The preference item will still stay there but it will no longer be bolded, the value column will be emptied. Your user agent is now reset back to it's default firefox user agent. The next time you start Firefox it will disappear completely.
You have now changed (or reset!) your user agent string in Firefox. We hope this guide was useful.
If you need to parse user agents in your system, please check out our User Agent Parsing API. It will make your life much easier!

The Stuff I Need app gets support for multiple lists in version 2.0 of the app which in now available for download through BlackBerry World. The app also includes other improvements such as the use of more explicit keyboard shortcuts, but the ability to have multiple lists is the biggest change.
Lists can be switched by pulling down on the tab at the top of the screen. This will expose a spinner that shows all of your current lists. New lists can be added by using the "+" button on the right side of the tab. Long pressing on the list name, will allow you to rename a list. Any lists with zero items will be automatically deleted once you exit the app. By default you are limited to just two lists, but you can get unlimited lists with a $1.99 in-app purchase.


Shulkin further indicated he has no plans to resign, according to Government Executive.
It was unclear what specific actions, if any, might come of Shulkin's warnings, with Shulkin noting that he had no interest in wasting time "looking for subversion or doing investigations" but that he would address "people who are pursuing different agendas" within the agency.
Shulkin has stated that he has willingly complied with his agency's investigation into his travel, including reimbursing the government for the cost of his and his wife's tickets to the Wimbledon tennis tournament, stating that his political adversaries were using the story to undermine his efforts within the agency.

A half tide dock is a partially tidal dock. Typically the dock is entered at high tide. As the tide ebbs a sill or weir prevents the level dropping below a certain point, meaning that the ships in the dock remain afloat, although they still rise and fall with the tides above this. Half tide docks are particularly useful in areas with a large tidal range.

The sill of a half tide dock must be set sufficiently far below the daily high tide mark to allow ships to pass over it. Obviously this was easier to achieve with small ships of shallow draught, or in areas with a large tidal range. Inside the dock, the depth of water beneath the sill's level depends only on the depth to which the dock was excavated, although this obviously increases construction costs.

The importance of the sill, and the tide's height above it, is reflected by these dock sills becoming an important local datum level and for tide tables being calculated for heights above it (i.e. clear draught in and out of the dock). This importance has often continued for many years after the original sill had been replaced, as at Sharpness on the Severn Estuary, or where the dock had disappeared entirely, such as Old Dock Sill in Liverpool.

The Kingdom of Bohemia (Czech: České království; German: Königreich Böhmen; Latin: Regnum Bohemiae) was a country located in the region of Bohemia in Central Europe, most of whose territory is currently located in the modern-day Czech Republic. The King was Elector of the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806, whereupon it became part of the Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867. Following the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, both Kingdom and Empire were dissolved and Bohemia became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic.
During the reign of the last Přemyslids and the succeeding House of Luxembourg the Bohemian kingdom was the most powerful state of the Holy Roman Empire. King Ottokar II of Bohemia ruled area through Austria to Adriatic Sea. King Wenceslaus II was crowned King of Poland in 1300, his son Wenceslaus III King of Hungary one year later. That time the Kingdom of Bohemia streched from Hungary till Baltic sea. Though both crowns were lost after Wenceslaus' III assassination in 1306, the rise of Bohemia continued, when in 1346 the heir to the Bohemian throne, Charles of Luxembourg was elected King of the Romans and crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1355. The issue of the 1356 Golden Bull together with the following acquisition of the Brandenburg Electorate gave the Bohemian Kingdom two votes in the electoral college. Charles made Prague the Imperial residence and his son King Sigismund again acquired the Hungarian crown by marriage with queen regnant Mary of Hungary in 1385. His successors - Ladislaus the Posthumous from Habsburg dynasty, George of Podiebrad and the rulers of the Jagiellon dynasty - strengthening the status of Bohemia as an autonomous part of the Empire. In turn King Vladislav Jagiellon was disqualified by the prince-electors from taking part in the 1486 election of Maximilian I of Habsburg in 1486. The estrangement from the Empire continued after Vladislav had succeeded Matthias Corvinus of Hungary in 1490 and both the Bohemian and the Hungarian kingdom were held in personal union. Not considered an Imperial State, the Lands of the Bohemian Crown were not part of the Imperial Circles established by the 1500 Imperial Reform.
The Brandenburg Electorate, acquired by Charles IV from Duke Otto V of Wittelsbach in 1373. Charles' son Sigismund lost Brandenburg in 1415 to Frederick I, Elector of Brandenburg.
After the early death of King Louis II Jagiellon at the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the Bohemian kingdom was inherited by his brother-in-law, the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand I of Habsburg, younger brother of Emperor Charles V, whom he succeeded in 1558. The subsequent incorporation of Bohemia into the Habsburg Monarchy against the resistance of the local Protestant nobility sparked off the 1618 Defenestration of Prague and the Thirty Years' War. Their defeat at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620 put an end to the Bohemian autonomy movement.
With the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Bohemian kingdom was incorporated into the Austrian Empire and the royal title retained by the Emperor of Austria. In the course of the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise the provinces of Bohemia, Moravia and Austrian Silesia became k. k. crown lands of Cisleithania. The current Czech Republic consisting of Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia still uses some symbols of the Kingdom of Bohemia: a two-tailed lion in its coat-of-arms, red-white strips in the state flag and the royal castle as the president's office.

US stock exchanges seek new listings as Chinese companies retreat - Financial Times
Stock Exchange Jan 10, 2022

We'll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest IPOs news every morning.
US stock exchanges are pursuing listings from companies in south-east Asia and India to counteract a sudden slowdown in business from China.
Asian companies based outside China have been largely absent from the US stock market. But they are getting a closer look as Sino-US tensions cause new Chinese listings to dry up and threaten revenue for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq stock market.
"We think the entire region is ripe for IPO activity," said Bob McCooey, Nasdaq's Asia-Pacific chair.
"The pipeline has grown from a handful of companies, if you asked me a year ago, into a few dozen today," McCooey told the Financial Times. Over time the region could become as big a source of business as China was until recently, he said.
The outlook for US initial public offerings from Chinese companies has soured in the past few months amid mutual recriminations over the sharing of sensitive data and a crackdown on large private companies by Beijing.
Insurance group FWD this week became the latest group to pull plans for a US flotation after warning about the risk of intervention from both Chinese and US regulators. Earlier this month Chinese ride-hailing group Didi Chuxing said it would delist from the NYSE just five months after completing one of the year's largest IPOs.
Bringing in listings from other Asian countries would be a big change from recent trends. Chinese companies made more US IPOs in 2021 alone than companies from the rest of the Asia-Pacific region had done over the past decade, according to Refinitiv data.
Alex Ibrahim, NYSE's head of international capital markets, said exchange officials had been "spending a lot of time focused on south-east Asia, more so than in previous years, and I think this will continue".
Indonesia and India are seen as the biggest areas of opportunity because of their large populations and growth potential, although executives are also expecting an uptick in listings from countries including Vietnam and Malaysia.
The recent listing of Singapore-based tech group Grab, which completed the largest-ever merger with a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) at the start of December, has also helped draw renewed attention to the Asia-Pacific region outside of China.
Like China, India enforces restrictions that complicate local companies' plans to list abroad. Just one India-based company, renewable energy operator Azure Power, has completed an IPO in the US over the past 10 years, according to Refinitiv.
Ibrahim acknowledged that there were some "regulatory constraints", but said companies could be "creative" in finding ways to complete dual listings or reincorporating outside of India to list in the US.
Delhi-based software company Coforge, which is already listed in India, has filed for a public offering in New York expected to take place early next year. Bangalore-based online education start-up Byju's is also in talks to combine with a US-listed Spac.
Jeff Bunzel, head of equity capital markets at Deutsche Bank, said: "We don't anticipate much 'China into US' activity from an IPO point of view . . . [but] there is definitely an increase in the activity and outlook for India and south-east Asia into the US."
Replacing the loss of Chinese listings, however, will be difficult. There are 80 so-called 'unicorns' — private companies worth more than $1bn — in the Asia-Pacific region outside China, according to CB Insights, But none has the scale of giants such as Alibaba, the Chinese ecommerce company that was worth $128bn when it went public in 2014.
Nor are US exchanges guaranteed to win all the biggest candidates. The $20bn Indonesian delivery group JT, for example, is reportedly gearing up to list in Hong Kong.

If you're in class III FDA or in class III CE mark or in Class C IEC 62304, you have to do it thoroughly if a flaw in a development tool represents an unacceptable risk!
If you're in class II FDA or in class IIa or IIb CE mark or in class B IEC 62304, you may do it but it's far from being mandatory!
If you're in class I FDA or in Class I (even class IIa) CE mark or in class A IEC 62304, do it if you have spare time!
In other words, thorough development tool validation, and especially compiler validation, are only relevant for very, very, very, critical software.
Edit June 2016: following the risk-based approach found in ISO 13485:2016, this rationale remains relevant.
Perhaps it makes sense for a small subset of embedded sw used in class III MD, like pacemakers. Likewise it makes senses in automotive or airborne systems where sw failure equals dozens of casualties.
The main rationale not to validate development tools is to consider them as low-risk software. Hence if there is a bug in one of these tools, then the software built will be buggey and odds are pretty good that this bug will be discovered during software tests (be it unit, integration, or functional).
My IDE has a bug in the code editor and doesn't save source files in specific conditions. I'm going to see it quickly! Or I'm going to see it in the code of a colleague during a code review.
My source control tool has a bug in the graphical merge function. I'm going to see it quickly as well!
My compiler doesn't cast the right way a floating point value to an integer value, under certain circumstances. I'm not going to see it quickly. But I'm probably going to see it during tests, with inconsistent computed values.
All in all, tests in the software development process are here to find problems created in early stages of the process. Most of these problems are created by humans (we can't think of everything), and some are created by the tools we use (the guys who created the tools couldn't think of everything).
What is shown above is assessing the risks of the software development process.
In class I, there is no use to validate thoroughly development tools hence the hazardous situations created by these tools have low severity (the final software is class A of IEC 62304) or have low probability (bugs created by these tools are fixed during code reviews or tests).
In class II or III, it's useful to validate these tools hence the hazardous situations created by these tools (namely bug in built software) have high severity, or high probability (think of the 100% probability in software hazards).
If you have to validate these tools, you may take examples from this guidance: AAMI TIR 36 Validation of software for regulated processes. It has pretty good examples (excepted compilers, see below).
You may also get your inspiration from GAMP5 about computerized systems (pull out your credit card if you want to read it!).
If you don't want to buy any of these documents, there are plenty of examples available on the internet. You just have to seek for IQ/OQ/PQ plans and reports.
Performance Qualification (PQ), i.e. using the development tools in real conditions for a period of time to ensure that the tool and its vendor behave according to expected performances.
If you are in a case where there's no urge to validate software development tools, then just write a document with the rationales that led you to choose these tools.
Deciding whether it's necessary to install a new version of the development tool.
There are dozens of articles or memos or documents about validation of tools used in production processes.
The validation method described above is a bit peculiar because it deals with tools used in software development processes (for software design), not production processes (for production of physical goods or for delivery of standardized services).
Thus it is acceptable only for development processes. For production processes, like automated machines or test benches, this validation plan is too simple.
However,if you want to validate a compiler, this validation plan is a bit incomplete.
Validating a compiler once and for all is a titanic task! We'll see it in the next article.

Everyday New York City's first responders answer to thousands of calls for help around the city. From caring for the sick and elderly, to preventing crime, and fighting the cities worst fires. Our heroes work day in and day out, never holding a normal sleep schedule and putting strains on their bodies and minds that most people could not comprehend. Putting this strain on their bodies often increases a first responders risk in injury, illness and disease. It's time to start helping those who help us, and Chris Torres from Brooklyn NY knows just the way to do it.
After being an athlete for most of his life and studying biology and education in college, Chris made the decision to take the FDNY test in 2012. He immediately began prepping himself and his body for the academy knowing the physical challenges that lie ahead of him. After joining his first Crossfit gym he began studying and eventually becoming a physical trainer and instilling his passion for fitness and training into others. After passing FDNY Probie School, Chris was assigned to Engine 242 in Brooklyn where he was introduced to other civil servants, including the emergency medical technicians, paramedics and police officers who he often responded to calls with. Torres realized just how important physical fitness and health was to all of our first responders.
This past month, Torres launched N.Y.C. I Got Your Six, a fitness academy tailored to the physical and mental stressors these careers have. "What's the point in giving 25+ years of your life and beating your body if you can't enjoy it when you retire?" According to the CDC, physical overexertion is the cause for most injuries to fire fighters and first responders. Physical fitness is something we all, as first responders can focus on and Chris is making sure of that.
I decided to check out his opening class, which was located at Crossfit STEED in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The workout was modeled after a typical Crossfit WOD that included functional fitness, functional strength training and metabolic conditioning. As someone who doesn't generally work out as often as I should I found that Chris was able to tailor each part of the class to individual needs. I wasn't able to do a traditional pull-up, but was shown an alternative which worked out the same muscle groups as well as building a foundation to eventually be able to do a traditional pull-up. That's what this is all about, building your strengths and learning how to use your body to avoid injury when on the job.
Walking into the gym we were immediately met with the white board, which displayed the workouts we'd be doing that evening. As Chris went through each stage he explained and demonstrated each workout so that we all knew what we would be doing to avoid any injury and to keep us all in pace. Throughout the workout, he and some of the other experienced athletes would help those, like myself who were not as experienced. Everyone was willing to help, coach, and cheer each other on to finish each round.
"It takes someone who deals with the grind on a daily basis to understand what someone needs" Chris expresses after his first class. Being able to have a personal trainer who understands exactly what your body is going to go through is the ultimate benefit. "The guys who run this gym are very, very good at what they do," Torres says about the owners and trainers at Crossfit STEED. "The owners were unbelievably receptive to start the program and interested in the operation of the program. A large amount of the current members are already civil service, so now we have a home centered around them". Torres uses his certifications in Crossfit Level 1 and 2, Crossfit Anatomy, Crossfit Weightlifting 1 and NASM to create his own workouts that will most benefit our first responders.
As Torres says "It's time for … A CHANGE OF MINDSET". Traditional workouts and gym routines are not enough to keep our first responders healthy and injury free. They need to do more to prep for these academies and the job that lies ahead. You can find more information on N.Y.C.

The Argie 10 is a large open 3:1 sailing dinghy, which is large enough to be used a camp-cruiser. It is a bit large for car-topping, so should have a trailer. It is large enough to sail with 3 or 4 people, so is good for teaching sailing at clubs, scout camps etc. Construction is stitch and glue plywood. Hull weight 130lb.
