Fortnight ago a bald little Japanese general nicknamed The Razor became Premier of Japan. Hideki Tojo's* sparse mustache looks as if it might blow off in a stiff breeze and his tortoise-shell spectacles have a slightly cockeyed, precarious perch on his nose. Nevertheless the world press shuddered with apprehension that The Razor might be the raging snickersnee that the Japanese Army had been crying for, that Japan's months of indecision would now be resolved by mad swipes at Siberia, at Singapore, or at both.

Kinkei (: 金鶏山; Kinkeisan nebo Kinkeizan) je kopec v jihozápadní části prefektury Iwate v Japonsku. Leží na území města Hiraizumi v okrese Nišiiwai.

Kinkei je posvátnou horou (kopcem), která ovlivnila prostorové uspořádání města Hiraizumi. Leží přibližně v polovině cesty mezi chrámy Čúsondži a Mócúdži. Podle legendy nechal kopec navršit během jediné noci Fudžiwara no Hidehira z třetí generace severní větve rodu Fudžiwara na západ od chrámu Murjókóin, který postavil jako kopii chrámu Bjódóin v Udži. Jméno kopce pak prý je odvozeno z faktu, že na vrcholu byl zahrabán pár zlatých (金, kin) slepic (鶏, kei). Výška kopce je 98,6 metru.

V roce 1930 zde došlo k nelegálním vykopávkám ve snaze najít legendární zlaté slepice. Místo nich ale byly objeveny keramické a hliněné nádoby a měděné válce se sútrami. 22. února 2005 byl kopec Kinkei prohlášen za národní památku.

Hora kinkei je jednou z památek v katastru města Hiraizumi, které byly v roce 2011 zapsány na Seznam světového dědictví UNESCO pod společným označením Hiraizumi - chrámy, zahrady a vykopávky reprezentující buddhistickou Čistou zemi.

Seal & Design specializes in fabrication of silicone sponge material.
Most commercially available silicone sponge products are made from gum based polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS). The silicone elastomer is expanded at the time it is heat cured; the expansion process creates the closed cell sponge structure. The main difference between a "sponge" and a "foam" is that a sponge is closed cell while a foam is open cell.
Advantages of silicone sponge are a wide operating temperature, good water sealing properties, compression set resistance, and UV and ozone resistance. Silicone sponge rugged and is a good choice for applications in outdoor environments.
Seal & Design fabricates silicone sponges to meet customer specs. We can also provide the silicone sponge products with adhesive backings for easy end application. Check out our silicone sponge offerings below.

The Service Center Add-On module provides functionality to create multiple Service Centers within a Service Manager database in order to cater for external branch or internal division or department requirements.
Branches or departments can have their own document numbering system for all document types including jobs, quotes, invoices, etc., and employees can be limited to certain branches so they only have access to that branch's details. Sage 300 security is active on these functions and separate Day Ends can be run by Service Center.
Users at one branch for example may be unaware of the other branch's activities yet all accounting is consolidated in one database.
Service Centers can be used internally for divisional or departmental purposes as stated, and include the ability to override GL Segment Codes as applicable in order to accommodate this function.


Methods and systems that provide privacy of signatures on envelopes containing ballots are provided. The envelope for returning ballots includes a removable signature stub positioned on top of a signature area. The voter signs the back of the envelope on the signature stub, thereby imprinting a signature on the signature area by transferring a material from the signature stub to the signature area, and removes the signature stub. The signature is then covered by a label that conceals the signature under normal lighting conditions. To read the signature, light having a predetermined wavelength is directed onto the label, thereby rendering the label transparent and the signature visible.
The invention disclosed herein relates generally to voting systems, and more particularly to a method and system for protecting privacy of signatures on ballots sent through the mail.
In democratic countries, governmental officials are chosen by the citizens in an election. Conducting an election and voting for candidates for public office in the United States can be performed in several different ways. One such way utilizes mechanical voting machines at predetermined polling places. When potential voters enter the predetermined polling place, voting personnel verify that each voter is properly registered in that voting district and that they have not already voted in that election. Thus, for a voter to cast his vote, he must go to the polling place at which he is registered, based on the voter's residence. Another method for conducting an election and voting utilizes paper ballots that are mailed to the voter. The voter marks the ballot and returns the ballot through the mail. Mailed ballots have been historically reserved for absentee voting. In the usual absentee voting process, the voter marks the ballot to cast his/her vote and then inserts the ballot in a return envelope which is typically pre-addressed to the voter registrar office in the corresponding county, town or locality in which the voter is registered. The voter typically appends his/her signature on the back of the envelope adjacent to his/her human or machine readable identification.
One general problem with vote by mail envelopes is the voter's signature is in the open and exposed for all to see throughout the process for determining whether or not the vote is authentic. This leads to potential privacy issues and concerns, e.g., fraudulent usage of a voter's signature. Some jurisdictions have required that such signatures be hidden from plain sight while the envelope is en route from the voter to the registrar's office. This will protect against easy imaging of the signature, such as, for example, with a hand scanner or digital camera, for later impersonation or other fraudulent purposes, e.g., identity theft. To comply with such requirements, envelopes have been proposed that hide the signature with a flap which is removed when the envelope is received at the registrar's office. These solutions, however, require some mechanical manipulation of the envelopes, which is both expensive and increases the risk of accidental tears of the envelope, potentially leading to damage to the ballots contained in the envelopes, exposing the marked ballot before the conclusion of the authentication process (which in some states require the ballot to be counted, regardless of the outcome of the authentication process), or the ability to link the voter with his/her ballot, thereby removing the secret ballot.
Voting by mail is becoming more prevalent, apart from the usual absentee voting, and in some jurisdictions, entire elections are being conducted exclusively by mail. As voting by mail becomes more prevalent, the privacy concerns discussed above are also more prevalent. Thus, there exists a need for efficient methods and systems that can protect the privacy of signatures on ballots sent through the mail while also reducing the risk of damage to the ballots when the signatures are revealed.
The present invention alleviates the problems associated with the prior art and provides methods and systems that protect the privacy of signatures for ballots sent through the mail while also reducing the risk of damage to the ballots when the signatures are revealed.
In accordance with the present invention, the envelope for returning ballots by mail includes a signature area. A removable signature stub is positioned on top of the signature area. The side of the signature stub facing the signature area is covered with a material that absorbs light having a predetermined wavelength or wavelengths, W, that is outside of, but preferably very close to, the visible spectrum of light, e.g., infrared or ultraviolet light. The material will transfer to and adhere to the signature area when pressure is applied to the side of the signature stub that does not face the signature area. The signature stub may be, for example, carbon paper with the carbon side facing the signature area. The voter signs the signature stub, thereby imprinting a signature on the signature area by transferring the material from the signature stub to the signature area, and moves the signature stub away from the signature area.
A label, which may include an image of an indicium that evidences payment of postage for the envelope, is then provided over the voter's signature. The label is formed from a transparent substrate in which dyes of various colors make up the image on the label. The dyes utilized absorb wavelengths from the human visible spectrum, but are transparent of, i.e., transmit, light of wavelength W. Since the label will absorb light under normal lighting conditions, i.e., white light or ambient light, the image on the label will be visible under such lighting conditions and conceal the voter's signature beneath the label. Upon receipt at the registrar's office (or other official vote tallying location), light having the predetermined wavelengths can be directed onto the label, thereby rendering the image on the label transparent. The light will be absorbed where the signature was imprinted on the signature area and reflected elsewhere back through the label, resulting in the voter's signature being visible. The voter's signature can then be read for comparison with official records to perform the required signature verification to determine validity and authenticity of the ballot. Thus, while the envelope is en route from the voter to the registrar's office, the voter's signature will be concealed from plain view. Viewing of the signature does not require any mechanical manipulation of the envelope or flaps on the envelope, thereby reducing the risk of causing damage to the ballot contained therein.
FIG. 12 illustrates in flow diagram form the preparation and processing of an envelope for mailing a ballot according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In describing the present invention, reference is made to the drawings, wherein there is seen in FIG. 1 an envelope 10 for returning ballots by mail according to an embodiment of the present invention in an open position. While the present description is directed to an envelope for returning ballots by mail, it should be understood that the invention is not so limited and the envelope 10 could be used to hold any type of communication or material. Envelope 10 includes a body portion 12 and a flap portion 14 (shown in phantom behind the body portion 12) connected to a back side of the body portion 12. When the flap portion 14 is in an open position, contents, such as, for example, a ballot, can be inserted into a pocket formed by the body portion 12. The flap portion 14 can then be moved to a closed position (as illustrated in FIG. 1), and sealed utilizing a glue or sealing strip (not shown) which when activated will adhere the flap portion 14 to the body portion 12, thereby covering the pocket and preventing the contents therein from falling out.
A front side of the body portion 12 is provided with a signature area 20 intended for the voter's signature. An area for information that identifies the voter 22 may also be provided adjacent to the signature area 20. Such information can include, for example, the voter's name and address, and is preferably provided in some machine readable form such as a barcode. The identification information is preferably printed on the body portion 12 of the envelope 10, or alternatively on an adhesive label that the voter applies to the body portion 12 adjacent to the signature area 20 in the identification area 22, using an ink that is absorptive of light having one or more wavelengths W, such as, without limitation, one or more wavelengths that fall within the infrared (IR), e.g., wavelength of greater than approximately 750 nm, and/or ultraviolet (UV), e.g., wavelength of less than approximately 400 nm, spectra. The background for the identification information is preferably reflective of light having the predetermined wavelengths W. Alternatively, the voter identification information could be printed elsewhere on the body portion 12.
FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view along line A-A′ in FIG. 1 of the signature area 20. Signature area 20 preferably includes a signature pad 30 that is formed from a material that is reflective to light having the predetermined wavelengths W. The signature pad 30 may be a separate material provided on a label or the like that is applied to the body portion 12, or alternatively may be formed from a material deposited directly to the body portion 12 using a suitable process, such as, for example, ink jet printing or the like. For example, for predetermined wavelengths W in the ultraviolet range, the signature pad 30 could be formed of standard optical brightener dyes deposited on the body portion 12 of the envelope 10. For predetermined wavelengths W in the infrared range, the signature pad 30 could be formed from a laser dye such as IR-125 (Indocyanine Green), IR-132 or IR-140. The use of the signature pad 30 will aid in the reading of a signature as described below. It should be noted, however, that the signature pad 30 is not required if the body portion 12 of the envelope 10 is sufficiently reflective to light having wavelengths W.
FIG. 3 illustrates the cross-sectional view of the signature area 20 illustrated in FIG. 3 during the signing process. When a signature tool 38, such as, for example a pen, pencil, stylus or other instrument, is used to sign on top of the stub 32, pressure is applied to the stub 32. The pressure is transferred through the stub 32 and material 34 to the signature pad 30, which may or may not cause small indents 40 in the signature pad 30. Regardless of whether or not indents 40 are made in the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12), the pressure from the signature tool 38 will cause the material 34 to transfer from the stub 32 to the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12). FIG. 4 illustrates the envelope 12 after the voter has provided his or her signature 50 in the signature area 20. Optionally, the envelope 10 could be pre-printed with an identification number on the signature stub 32 such that the identification number appears on the top surface of the signature stub 32 (illustrated by reference numeral 42 in FIG. 3) and is also transferred, via the material 34, to the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12). The identification numbers can be used by voters to determine if their vote was accepted or rejected for tallying as will be described below.
FIG. 5 illustrates the signature stub 32 being removed from the body portion 12 of envelope 10 after the voter has provided his or her signature in the signature area 20, and FIG. 6 illustrates the envelope 10 after the signature stub 32 has been removed. FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the envelope 10 illustrated in FIG. 6 along the line B-B′. As shown in FIG. 7, the material 34 has been transferred to the signature pad 30 in the areas, denoted by reference numeral 44, where the signature tool 38 exerted pressure to the stub 32 and where the identification number, if provided, was pre-printed. The use of the signature stub 32 and material 34 provides suitable control over the deposition on the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12) when the envelope 10 is signed. It is preferable that the material with which the signature is captured on the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12) be absorptive of light having wavelengths W to ensure sufficient contrast between the signature and the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12). For example, if the signature was signed with an ink that is partially reflective of light having wavelengths W, it will be difficult (if not impossible) to read the signature when illuminated by light of wavelengths W, since both the signature and the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12) will reflect the light. Using the signature stub 32 with the material 34 will ensure that regardless of the signature tool 38 used to sign the envelope 10, the substance deposited on the signature pad 30 (or body portion 12) will be controlled and be absorptive of light having the predetermined wavelengths W.
Referring again to FIG. 6, the signature pad 30 (now visible as the signature stub 32 has been removed) can optionally include instructions for the voter indicating that the voter is to apply a label over the signature. The instructions, if provided, are preferably printed with a material that is transmissive to light having wavelengths W, but will contrast with the signature pad 30 under normal illumination. In this manner, the instructions can be read under normal white light but will be invisible when illuminated with light of wavelengths W. The label, described in more detail below, applied by the voter will conceal the voter's signature under normal white or ambient light conditions while allowing the signature to be viewed when the illuminated by light of the wavelengths W. FIG. 8 illustrates a cross section of a label 60 according to an embodiment of the invention. The label 60 includes a substrate 62 having a first surface 64 and a second surface 66. The substrate 62 is preferably made from a material that is transmissive to the one or more wavelengths W. The first surface 64 of the substrate 62 is the surface (side) of the substrate 62 that faces away from the envelope 10 while the second surface 66 of the substrate 62 is the surface (side) of the substrate 62 that faces towards the envelope 10 when the label 60 is affixed to the envelope 10. An adhesive 68 that is used to secure the label 60 to the body portion 12 of the envelope 10 may be disposed on the second surface 66 of the substrate 62. Optionally, a protective covering (not shown), which can be separated from the adhesive 68 thereby exposing the adhesive 68, may be disposed over the adhesive 68.
Printed on the first surface 64 of the substrate 62 is an image 70 that is used to conceal the voter's signature 50 as illustrated in FIG. 9. The image can include, for example, an indicium that evidences payment of postage for the envelope 10, or any other type of image desired. The image 70 may be printed onto substrate 62 using techniques that are commonly known in the art. For example, an ink jet printer may be used to print the image 70 onto the substrate 62. Alternatively, dye sublimation or thermal transfer may also be used to create the image 70 on the substrate 62. The image 70 is printed onto the first surface 64 of the substrate 62 using a dye or dyes that absorb or reflect wavelengths in the human visible light spectrum, e.g., in the range of approximately 400 to 700 nm, and are transmissive to light of wavelengths W. Accordingly, the image 70 would be clearly visible (to a human) when exposed to ambient or white light (light in the human visible light spectrum) and would thus conceal the voter's signature 50 as illustrated in FIG. 9. However, when illuminated by light of wavelengths W, the image 70 that is printed on the first surface 64 of the substrate 62 would appear substantially transparent. FIG. 10 depicts the envelope 10 when exposed to light of wavelengths W. Therefore, the voter's signature 50, formed of material that absorbs light of wavelengths W, can be viewed and/or read through the image 70 on label 60.
FIG. 11 illustrates in block diagram form an automated system 80 for viewing the signature concealed using the envelope 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. System 80 includes a control unit 82, such as, for example, a general or special purpose microprocessor or the like, that controls operation of the system 80. Control unit 82 is connected to a database 88, which is used to store voter information, including, for example, name, address, and a reference signature for use in verifying ballots received by mail as described below. A transport 90, such as, for example, rollers and/or belts, is used to transport a series of envelopes 10 (only one shown in FIG. 11) through the system 80. A light source 92 is located adjacent to the transport to illuminate envelope 10 with light having the predetermined wavelengths W. A reading device 94, such as, for example, a scanner, camera, or the like is positioned adjacent to the light source 92 such that images of the envelopes 10 can be read while illuminated by the light source 92. Optionally, the light source 92 and reading device 94 can be located in some type of enclosure to limit the amount of outside light (white light) that will illuminate the envelope 10 during the reading process. Alternatively, the reading device 94 could utilize a lens that will capture only light having the wavelength W, thereby removing any interference from outside white light. A diverter 96 is located downstream from the reading device 94 and is coupled to the control unit 82. Based on command signals from the control unit 82, the diverter 96 will divert each envelope to a reject path 98 or an accept ballot path 100 as described below. The control unit 82 of the system 80 could optionally be coupled to a server 84. Server 84 can be coupled to a network 86, such as, for example, the Internet, through which information can be provided from the server 84 to remote locations.
FIG. 12 illustrates in flow diagram form the preparation and processing of an envelope 10 for mailing a ballot. In step 200, a voter completes a ballot and inserts it into the pocket of envelope 10. In step 202, the voter signs the envelope 10 in the signature area 20, resulting in an envelope as illustrated in FIG. 4. In step 204, the voter removes the signature stub 32 from the signature area 20 (as illustrated in FIG. 5), resulting in the envelope 10 as illustrated in FIG. 6. In step 206, the voter covers the signature area 20 with a label 60 as described with respect to FIG. 8, thereby covering the voter's signature 50 (and possibly other information included in the identification area 22), and mails the envelope 10 to the registrar's office. The label 60 will conceal the voter's signature in the signature area 20 under normal, e.g., white light or ambient, illumination, as described above with respect to FIG. 9. Thus, the privacy of the voter's signature is maintained during transit of the envelope 10 from the voter to the registrar's office.
Optionally, if identification numbers were read from the envelopes 10 during processing, then in step 218 the server 84 can publish the reject and accepted lists, via the network 86, such that a voter can determine if his or her vote was accepted or rejected. Using the identification number printed on the signature stub 32 that was removed by the voter, as described with respect to step 204 before mailing the envelope 10, the voter can access the lists published by the server 84 and determine upon which list the identification number for his or her respective envelope 10 is located. Thus, each voter can easily confirm if his or her ballot was accepted or rejected during processing of the envelope 10.
It should be noted that the location and orientation of the signature area 20 need not be as shown and the signature area 20 can be located and oriented in any position on the envelope. For example, the signature area 20 could be located along the bottom edge of the envelope, or oriented vertically along a side edge of the envelope.
Thus, according to the present invention, methods and systems that protect the privacy of signatures on ballots sent through the mail are provided. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, deletions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as limited by the foregoing description but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
wherein the image will conceal the signature when illuminated by light in the human visible spectrum, and the image will be transparent such that the signature will be visible to a reading device when illuminated by light outside of the human visible spectrum.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the image includes an indicium that evidences payment of postage for the envelope.

Yik Wai Chee
Crowdsukan, Malaysia
I graduated with Bachelors of Law (LL.B Hons.) majoring in Cyber Law and Sport Law from Multimedia University, Melaka, Malaysia. I was an exchange student studying Nordic Innovation and Business Promenade in Turku University of Applied Sciences, Finland. I was also the first Malaysian academic fellow of Hansen Summer Institute of University of San Diego, California where I was intensely trained on leadership and international cooperation for a month. I am currently one of the three Malaysian representatives at UNESCO Youth and Sport Task Force developing digital, innovative and sustainable sport solutions to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Fellow Report:
Individual Report on EuroSSIG 2021
1) The Journey to Meissen
Due to COVID-19 pandemic complications, it has been extremely challenging for me to make this trip possible. Thankfully with the support of EuroSSIG, I managed to get the invitation letter much earlier than anticipated to obtain the required exit permit and also to apply for a European Medicine Agency-approved vaccination appointment to make it to Meissen.
Throughout this process, communications with EuroSSIG have been rather clear and we managed to agree on a flexible travel support arrangement to make my Meissen visit from Malaysia a reality.
Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by EuroSSIG working very hard to make this event possible with the best possible COVID-19 mitigation measures in a fantastic historical location such as Meissen.
2) Fantastic EUROSSIG 2021 fellowship Cohort
It has been an extremely mesmerising experience for me to meet young professionals and future internet governance leaders from prominent organisations, foreign governments, civil society leaders and academics.
The diversity among the cohort, particularly from outside Europe despite this supposedly Europe-oriented event leaves a deep impression on me. This is especially so when to the best of my knowledge, many other regional internet governance schools have been rather exclusive in their regional participation criteria.
I strongly believe this approach adopted by EuroSSIG in trying to bring people from different corners of the world together for a meaningful platform to discuss internet governance is something extremely valuable. It is the only correct pathway that multilevel stakeholder discussion tries to be as inclusive as possible which is extremely important in bridging differences and understandings among parties with different vested interests and cultural understandings.
As a representative from Malaysia, it has been a great honour for me to make connections with everyone from faculty members to the fellows in advancing my worldview not just in internet governance but also around different cultural complications in understanding why we perceive things differently.
Meeting the former General Manager of the organisation who runs .au, parliament member from the Gambia, Dutch and German government officials, to name a few, has been fascinating to me in terms of understanding what the policymakers from different jurisdictions think about the internet world.
In addition, meeting human rights activists from law schools and civil society organisations has been a valuable experience for me to understand the holistic perspectives on why they do not desire certain changes of our internet world.
I expected EuroSSIG to be more European-focused, but the diversity of the cohort has really proven my initial expectations inaccurate and of course, I'm pleasantly surprised by the dynamic cohort group which shapes the programme in the best possible way.
3) Hybrid model of EUROSSIG was a major success
As a small medium enterprise (SME) entrepreneur who works on certain aspects of digitalisation, I have learned a lot about how the big decisions behind digitalisation of our world have been made from a policy making to a commercial level. SMEs often lack voices and representations to voice out our opinions in important discussions to build common understanding on the future of internet development. For this particular reason, I have enjoyed EuroSSIG even more as it opens doors for me to listen to lectures and sharing's from some of the world's most prominent experts in the biggest global companies such as Verisign and Facebook to better understand their corporate perspectives in developing the world of internet.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, this would not be possible had EuroSSIG not adopted a hybrid model which makes active participation from these representatives possible through the internet. The many lectures and sharing done through webinars have been successful, smooth and the Q&A sessions provide a fantastic opportunity to stay engaged.
This hybrid model has opened doors to make this event more inclusive with more voices being heard and therefore, it is absolutely a right decision from EuroSSIG. I'm quite confident that like myself, other participants have equally enjoyed this model of participation very much and gained great values from it.
4) Good debates on some issues
There were some amazing debates done especially as regards to the role of government in developing our internet as well as the right to privacy involving certain governmental and private sector abuses.
Coming from a country where the government has been extremely proactive in providing extremely strong leadership in the internet development, these debates have been interesting considering that depending on where one is from, we may have different level of trusts and experiences with our respective governments and companies in developing the internet.
This level of debate also extends to the right to privacy of individual issues. In particular, the European perspectives on GDPR has been fascinating for me to understand. Some meaningful debates have taken place over the more restrictive approaches of data use adopted by the EU and whether it has been an overall good or bad trajectory, especially since Europe has been very much lagging behind the USA and China in producing the world's most influential IT companies.
5) Geopolitical context of internet governance was spot on
The emphasis by the EuroSSIG founder, Wolfgang Kleinwaechter, that the internet governance of the present and future will always be tied with geopolitics between the USA and China has been spot on. As someone from Malaysia where we have strong influences from both countries and their tech companies, I could not have felt this geopolitical conflict impact much more. Discussions on controversial decisions such as the Great Firewall internet censorship adopted by certain countries for 'cyber sovereignty' has been rather interesting. The exclusion of Huawei to participate in 5G development in certain parts of the world for geopolitical reasons have also sparked some interesting discussions and reinforces the fact that geopolitics has played a major role in such decisions, even if it may be at odds with technical facts sometimes.
6) Favourite lecture(s):
The domain name registration and the legal conflicts arising out of it have been among the lectures which has left the deepest impression on me. The lecture offers fascinating insights on how domain name has been used for commercial purposes especially for prominent brands and locations to install a strong sense of brand identity. This is very valuable for someone from the private sector like me to understand and potentially tap into these underlying opportunities in the future. Getting to know such processes and bureaucratic hurdles better prepares us technically to tap into this interesting opportunity that most people from outside the internet sector would not have, otherwise, been exposed to.
The discussion of cybersecurity from a human rights perspective especially as regards to tightening internet regulations in the hopes of controlling illegal cyber activities have been equally fascinating to me. It is nice to hear a strong opinion from the civil society representatives on the balance needed to require stronger government interventions that may encroach on our individual civil liberties in that regard.
7) Incredible social activities
The social activities available have proven to be very successful in fostering great bonding within strict COVID-19 mitigation protocols. The Meissen city tour gave me an insight into how this old town came to prominence with its rich cultural heritages. The bonfire evening in which we all shared our songs and music from our home countries to get to know each other's cultural heritage was very enjoyable and the perfect ice-breaking event. The vineyard visit tasting the finest wine that the Saxony region has to offer is certainly a great bonding session among the fellows and faculty members. In a town like Meissen where it is less happening compared to bigger cities, the most suitable social activities which mostly involve food and drinks in a comfortable environment means each one of us has more than enough time to get to know each other reasonably well on a personal level. This strengthens our personal relationships and helps us brainstorm plans to improve internet governance of the future with little distractions. Any important negotiation would probably not go wrong if organised in Meissen for the same reason, it is extremely hard to leave this town without having an outcome of any kind.

Nintendo NX officially revealed as Nintendo Switch, new Trailer of the Hybrid device released
By Rajesh V	 On Oct 20, 2016
Finally! This is what we can say discovering the new Nintendo console, the Switch! A year and a half after its official announcement, the project was kept warm until today October 20, 2016.
Nintendo finally ended nearly 20 months of waiting and wild rumors. In a short video of 3 minutes and 37 seconds, the Kyoto giant has unveiled its future console, the Nintendo Switch, previously codenamed NX.
In exactly three minutes, the Japanese manufacturer Nintendo unveiled the Switch, a console that has the distinction of being used both in the lounge and nomadic manner. You can also see several games in the trailer, showcasing Zelda, of course, but also a new Mario, Splatoon, eSports, playing multiplayer (on the same console or online), Skyrim HD, etc.
With Nintendo Switch, players can play in single-player and multiplayer sitting comfortably on their couch at home, but will also have the chance to play the same titles anywhere, anytime and with anyone willing. The portability of a handheld console is combined with the power of a home console for unprecedented freedom.
At home, Nintendo Switch connects to the TV via the foundation for Nintendo Switch, which allows you to have fun with friends and family in the comfort of your living room. By taking out Nintendo Switch from the base, the console will immediately go into portable mode and allows, thanks to the its bright, high-definition screen, to bring the exact same gaming experience, whether you are at the park, on the train, in a friend's car or home.
A joystick, similar to that of the first Xbox, is also visible, while the console and its base features a non-black glossy finishing.
The release of Nintendo Switch is scheduled for March 2017.
Earlier before this news, new gameplay videos of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have been unveiled.

PORT VENDRES Walk 7: "Vall de Pintes" or "The Mackintosh's Enchanted Valley"
Kate 15/01/2018 0 Comments
Something to say? Please leave a comment. We'd love to hear from you.
WALK THE REGION WITH TED AND KATE HISCOCK
Walk 7: "Vall de Pintes" or "The Mackintosh's Enchanted Valley"
(9km 5.5m ) approx. 2.4 hours
This extraordinary walk at first seems lacking potential until it is actually completed, when a feeling of hope for our environment rises after witnessing the existence of untouched wild life. An alternative name for this walk (which seems nowadays dominated by excessive fast travel of the N114 rushing to its temporary conclusion at the 'roundabout to nowhere' above Port Vendres) was coined "The Enchanted Valley" by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret who considered this valley as their favourite walk in the late 1920s when they lived in Port Vendres.
Start at the Place de l'Obelisque and cross to rue de Pams and then take the first ramp of steps on the right up to the second street turning left on to Rue Louis Blanc to the Place Belieu, then follow the street Rue Pasteur down the hill and up the other side to the cross roads where you take a left into Rue Camille Pelletan. This soon opens on to the square where, save for the ubiquitous motor car, life continues as it did 100 years ago, where petanque dominates watched by old and young as the chink of metal boules scatter grit and opponents' balls to the cheers of supporters.
Move away from this parochial French obsession by taking the first road on the right rue, Parquebots, where in 100 metres an ancient relic of a cobbled path leads to the left and up to a sharp bend in the road. Immediately in front, a survivor of the Belle Epoch majestically stands high above with its architectural ornaments surprisingly intact considering the grim times it must have witnessed during 1944 when all around was blitzed as the retreating German army covered its tracks.
Turning left out of the cobbled path, the narrow road bends and drops down past a hotel trying to make a living on the right and the sleepy railway station which serves commuters at the ends of the day.
Continue straight ahead into the Rue Val de Pintes, where the rural aspects of this walk really begin.
Depending on the time of year and recent rainfall, a dry ditch is to the right and it is difficult to imagine in times of serious inundation, how and where the flood waters rush to beneath the hotel that sits upon the tunnel.
Follow this road past the recreation park on the left and then where a fork in the road appears, proceed left under the railway and as the land begins to rise a choice of track once more appears. Take the left one.
To the left at this point, a barrage across the ditch at certain times of the year holds a full reservoir of water, but in summer it is a verdant ecological site teaming with life dependant on its boggy terrain.
For the next ¾ km the track steadily rises and the full impact of nature's realm becomes apparent as every conceivable moth and butterfly species from blue to swallow tail flit freely in abundance. Not only Lepidoptera but grass hoppers, mantis, damsel and dragonflies of all colours dart from side to side of this neglected and tranquil track whose only traffic apart from this insect world seems to be occasional vignerons' wagons bearing tons of grapes during the vendange. The verges are rich with wild flowers and herbs of all varieties whilst greenfinches and warblers sing in the pine trees to complement this haven of unspoilt Cote Vermeille hinterland.
As the track rises it parallels the main N114 running almost inaudibly on a raised bank some meters above until a hairpin bend in our track tears off to the left and rapidly climbs to immediately beneath the main road. Pass through a corrugated tunnel, take a sharp right turn on the other side and once again walk parallel to the main road, but this time the road gradually rises higher than the speeding traffic.
As this track rises, the climb becomes quite steep and the road quality rather dubious, but follow it until it passes across the mouth of the tunnel of Raixat and where the tarmac is completely replaced by chippings, ravines and stones, take the left track and climb steadily, winding steeply with a cork oak wood on the left.
The map shows this to be a "Road not regularly maintained" which is no over-statement and is certainly not the route one should take the Rolls-Royce for a Sunday outing, but have courage; it does get better – for a short while before deteriorating again!
As the steep incline levels at the top of the Coll d'en Raixat, walk a few metres to the right, to the road junction and fabulous views can be seen over Collioure and the Plain of Roussillon to the North and back down the Val de Pintes. Close in front to the North East, Fort Dugommier rises high with Fort St Elme beyond whilst the two tours of Massane and Madeloc, crown the ridges high above to the North West and South West respectfully.
Turn back to where the already walked track joins a rocky track and then walk straight along this right fork that follows the contours around the mountain in a slight but easy rise, passing a memorial to a brave young fireman who lost his life at this spot whilst fighting mountain fires in 1976.
Soon after this shrine the track turns to the right and at about 250m from sea level suddenly Tour de Madeloc looms high on the skyline as a menacing reminder of historic need for beacons and look-outs. Beneath the tour sits one of the many garrison posts, whilst further round to the south the vast sienna coloured Batterie de la Galline stands out on a ridge. These fortifications were built predominantly by the genius military engineer Vauban during stressful relationships between the French and Spanish which were further complicated by nationalistic uprisings by Catalans. The whole scene would be an appropriate backcloth setting for a 19th century opera. It is difficult to imagine more beautiful panoramic views than these and as we walked this way during a bright and hot September afternoon, not a car passed us and our most persistent companion was a brightly coloured red-brown kestrel that hovered close-by as if not to miss the opportunity of the potential for a good feed should one of us not make it!
Very shortly the track drops down to the D86a where the route turns left on to tarmac again and gently rises between cork oaks and newly planted olive trees for a short distance, where an alternative way looms.
It is possible to take a foot path that drops to a few metres lower than the road but continues parallel to it, but its track is rough and exposed and at times of strong wind, it is suggested the higher metalled D86a is safer as it winds along the southern edge of the Val de Pintes.
After about 2km, the road reaches a sharp turn to the left at the head of a V shaped valley "Coll de Perdiguer" and at this point the Randonnée is signed off to the right, but our path follows a small and insignificant rough footpath to the left in the sharp bend of the road. Follow this narrow path down, and soon it turns into a charming unspoilt ancient track between vines on the left and garrigue to the right and is edged with numerous species of wild flowers.
At the bottom of the hill, the path takes a sudden turn to the right and joins a modern but quiet road that rises to the new housing development to the right. Take this incline to the first corner where the path takes off to the left and drops down to the busy N114 where a right turn takes the walk to the road junction by Le Cedre Hotel and then a left winds down into Port Vendres along the harbour and back to Place de l'Obelisque.

See below for more pictures!
Here is a picture of the setup before the kids got started. I brought 30 pounds of bricks including some less common colors like green, orange, lime, and brown.
Finally, here are some of the completed picture frames. I didn't take pictures of all of them because it took me a couple minutes per frame to put the plastic film, picture, and cardboard backing together (taping each in place).
As you can see from the pictures above, doing this activity two days before Father's Day provided a theme for most of the kids. A few of the others frames done by younger kids were more abstract.
Overall the project was a success. Several of the parents told me how much they enjoyed the activity and the kids were all very proud of their creations.

Q: DreamFactory remote SQL Service: Failed to launch service "servicename" :CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection I have installed Bitnami DreamFactory WAMP Stack on windows
server 2008 R2. I am unable to connect to a MS SQL DB through a service
in Dream Factory. The error message I get is "Failed to launch service
"servicename": CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection"
I have tried everything that is mentioned over here: http://community.dreamfactory.com/t/connecting-to-ms-sql-server/163
Eagerly awaiting help.

A: Native ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server must be installed for the PHP extensions to connect MS SQL DB.

A: I recommend referring to the DreamFactory documentation for all drivers and modules necessary in Windows for SQL Server connections. Depending on your environment, you may need to install more than just the ODBC Driver 11. Bitnami cannot package and distribute the Microsoft drivers.

Chef Anne Burrell on how she fell in love with true Italian flavors.
After culinary school, I lived and worked in Italy for a year. When I first got there, I realized that what I had thought of as Italian food, like chicken Parmesan, sort of doesn't exist in Italy and that is a good thing. Once I really started to understand the Italian kitchen, I LOVED it even more than I thought was possible!
The beauty of Italian flavor is that it is all about locality, seasonality and tradition. All three of these are tied very closely to one another. The people of each region truly believe that what they make there—with their area's ingredients—is the best. Everywhere you go, there is ALWAYS some amazing, delicious, something to be found!
Cuisine in Italy is very regionalized. In places far from the water, the locals don't eat fish. Food doesn't travel. When artichokes are at their peak, Italian cooks go crazy with artichokes, and then you don't see artichokes again until the next artichoke season.
All through the year, there are recipes that highlight in-season freshness. Selecting the very best possible ingredients and showcasing them is what's important. Respect the ingredients; don't overpower them.
In Italy, cooking is also about tradition. Italians know what their mothers did, and what her mother did, and all up the line. That is what they love. It's also what I just LOVE!
Italian cooking is more than feeding your body—it's feeding your soul as well. It means enjoying picking vegetables from the garden or going to the farmer's market, and enjoying preparing the food too. It means treasuring the time that you're at the table and the people that you're with. It's a lifestyle, not just a dinner.

McConnell: Kavanaugh win 'a shot of adrenaline' for GOP midterm chances
by Alexander Bolton - 10/06/18 1:53 PM ET
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is hailing Saturday's expected confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court as a major boost to Senate Republican candidates in next month's midterm elections.
McConnell told The Hill he spoke with his top political advisers on Friday, who said the bitter fight over Kavanaugh, and what he has called a "shameless smear campaign" by Democrats, has revved up the GOP base in red states.
"I talked to a couple of my political advisers yesterday and this has been a shot in the arm for us going into the fall election because it underscores the importance of the Senate and our role in personnel, and of course the most important personnel decisions we make are the courts, and particularly the Supreme Court," McConnell said in an interview Saturday.{mosads}
"Our base is on fire," he said, while predicting that expected votes against Kavanaugh by Democratic Sens. Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.) and Jon Tester (Mont.) will come back to bite them next month when they are up for reelection in states won by President Trump in 2016.
"I'm doubly upbeat after this Supreme Court fight, which has been like a shot of adrenaline in our campaigns," he said.
"Only one of the red-state Democrats voted in a way that helped them politically and that was [Joe] Manchin," he said, referring to the West Virginia senator. "This is going to be a big issue over the next four weeks."
McConnell signaled he's feeling good about how the Supreme Court fight has left his party entering the final stretch of the fall campaign, but he declined to say whether it would clinch a Senate GOP majority in 2019 and 2020.
"I never say that," he said, when asked if he was confident that his majority is safe.
"You're familiar with the places that are a dog fight: Arizona, Nevada, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia and Florida," he said, ticking off what he views as the most competitive Senate races. "They're all like a knife in an alley."
A recent poll by Public Opinion Strategies, a GOP survey firm, showed that voters in West Virginia favored the Senate confirming Kavanaugh by a margin of 58 percent to 28 percent. The same firm found that voters in North Dakota favored Kavanaugh 56 percent to 26 percent.

Dr. Lee & the youngest member of the OBD Family, her daughter.
At the tender age of 15, Dr. Lee knew she was destined to work in the healthcare field. It wasn't until she shadowed her hygienist Godmother who encouraged her to take her dreams all the way did she know she would be a dentist. By the time she was 18 and a dental assistant for a local doctor, general dentistry was the obvious choice.
"I have been going to Dr Griggs for 23 years. Every visit has been nothing but a positive one. The last one was life changing for me. I had a 3D X-ray in addition to my 6 month cleaning and check up. Dr. Lee came in to discuss the X-ray with me and told me that I had a narrow airway and after asking me about my sleep patterns advised that I do a sleep study. I followed up with my primary physician who sent me for a sleep study. Well, it turns out I have moderate/severe sleep apnea and stop breathing 24 times an hour. I now sleep with a CPAP machine and I feel so much better. I wake up well rested and without a headache and am no longer tired during the day. If left untreated I understand that my heart and lungs and overall health could be in jeopardy. Thank you Dr. Lee for making me aware of the dangers of sleep apnea." – Leslie T.
Being a dentist means a lifetime of continued education. Dr. Lee continues to take professional development courses in order to stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in her field, including a two-year dental implant course at NYU and intent to attend the Dawson Institute for her Invisalign Certification.
Dr. Lee followed her dreams of becoming a dentist to help you achieve the smile of your dreams! Call Old Bridge Dental® today!

"American Values" To Screen William Friedkin's "The People Vs Paul Crump"
Anastasia Lennon
alennon@hamptons.com
Oscar-winning director, William Friedkin.
On Sunday, March 11, the Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center continues its American Values Series with a film screening and discussion with Oscar-winning director, William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection). The film, The People vs Paul Crump, is Friedkin's first (1962) and covers the story of Chicagoan and prisoner Paul Crump who was serving a death sentence for the murder of a security guard during an attempted robbery in 1953.
The film falls into the category of "true crime documentary" as it depicts reenactments of the crime and includes Crump's recounting of events and his subsequent confession to police. The People vs Paul Crump was originally made to air on a television station, but after the final product was viewed, the station decided it would be too controversial to air.
Despite this rejection, Friedkin persisted and succeeded in having Otto Kerner, the governor of Chicago at the time, view it. His film arguably left a mark on Kerner who, after viewing it, commuted Crump's sentence from death to life in prison. Crump eventually died in prison in 2002, after having served 39 years. Much like contemporary true crime documentaries, this earlier work will have the audience considering the guilt or innocence of the criminal, as well as the motivations and opinions of Friedkin not only then, but now.
The thought-provoking nature of such a work captures the essence of this American Values Series, which was created to spark discourse about what it means to be American and what American values "look like in action." The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center believes this rarely viewed film is relevant given the Black Lives Matter Movement that was conceived in 2013.
"We always envisioned our American Values series as a program that would include a wide range of films and reflect how cinema can entertain, inspire and promote exciting discussion," explained Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, head of the Sag Harbor Cinema Programming Committee. "The People vs. Paul Crump, William Friedkin's groundbreaking and rarely seen debut, is another example of such range. We are thrilled and very grateful that a director of Mr. Friedkin's stature has agreed to join us from his home in California in support of the campaign for the Sag Harbor Cinema".
The conversation with Friedkin will take place via Skype, following the screening of his 60-minute, TV movie at the Pierson High School auditorium. The free screening is at 2 p.m. and is the second to last of this series. The final event will be a screening of Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing on Sunday, March 18 and discussion with film programmer Ashley Clark.
Pierson High School is located at 200 Jermain Avenue in Sag Harbor. For more information about Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center or to register for events such as this one, please visit www.sagharborcinema.org.

Ramon and I headed back to the 356 a couple hours later, this time sans tour guide and WITH mp3 player. I still say its the single biggest improvement to my diving experience since I began, and it's good to have Tom around to share the enthusiasm (otherwise I'd be the only one).
The curse seems to have subsided a bit lately, though that could just be a result of my running out of electronics to break! Pray for my iPod, who is with us still. I also have this small gash on my left hand middle finger, next to the nail, that seems unable to heal thanks to its five-times-a-day saltwater dunking. I keep it clean and it doesn't look poorly… but whenever I put on or take off my gear it hurts like hell.
It's a little depressing to know that we just have a couple more days left to the trip. Despite my technological hiccups, I'll try to post some more pictures from the past few days later tonight.

The big premier of Game of Thrones is set to start on Sunday, April 24th.
At the end of the last season, there were many characters in danger, some could possibly be dead. Without answers, the internet has run wild with discussions of what could happen to each of the characters. Is Jon Snow dead? Maybe, we will have to find out. But there is one important question that many people haven't been asking...If the Game of Thrones characters were real, where would they live?
With full knowledge that fans are dying to know, we trudged on through ice and fire (sorry, couldn't help ourselves) to find the answer. The result was the following 5 houses, all fit for your favorite characters.
As far as modern-day castles go, this one in Oak Brook, Illinois is one of the best. Fit for a king and queen, it comes with 5 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, and 12,000 square feet. With turrets at the top, you can always defend yourself from attacks on the property. For all this, you only need to pay a measly 4.2 million, a pittance for a member of a royal family. Speaking of a royal family, its local schools make it an excellent fit for a prince and princess. Seriously, if Joffrey would have had a better education, maybe he would stay out of trouble and not be such a punchable character.
Meant to look like a dragon emerging from a hill, this home would be a perfect fit for Daenerys Targaryen. Built into the mountain like a cave, the outer shell of this home is covered in scales and overlooks the ocean from Spain's southern coast. Not only is this home incredibly stylish and modern, but it's position would make it nearly impenetrable to attacks - the type of thing you worry about when you live in the Game of Thrones world.
For those who would prefer winter weren't coming, this castle may be a better choice than our Chicagoland selection. Located in Ono, FL this home covers 12,000 square feet on a Florida swamp. The builder, Howard Solomon, still lives in the castle with 4 generations of his family. Howard had already built the home when he saw an ad stating that the local newspaper was trying to sell used metal printing sheets. He purchased enough to cover his home, which is what gives it the bright silver covering. Not only that, but he has built all of the stained glass windows that are now in the property.
Still not enough of a castle for royalty? Well that's not all. When Solomon built his home up on dry ground, he dug out a moat, which now houses a replica of a 16th Century Portuguese ship that is approximately 60-feet long. Unfortunately for those longing to live in the castle, it is not for sale, but you can tour it for a price.
So maybe some days you wish you were a Game of Thrones character and other days you wish you could live like a Star Wars character. Well this castle in a tree can make you feel a little like medieval royalty and a little like a Wookie (yes, that is the nerdiest sentence we will ever write).
Located in Hertfordshire, England, this tree house castle was built by Blue Forest tree house design and construction. Up among the leaves are two different lofts, one for children and one for adults. While it isn't necessarily meant to be used as a full-time residence, the "adult" portion of the treehouse does contain a kitchen and a bathroom, which allows for extended periods of entertainment.
The extra wow factor is added with two features. The first is a secret trapdoor in the children's tree house, which leads to a game room. The second feature is an 80-yard zip line that allows for an easy escape from the crow's nest, and if you make enemies like a game of thrones character it just might come in handy.
So maybe we don't assume that our favorite Game of Thrones characters would want to live exactly like they want to in their show. Who knows, maybe they would see some modern architecture and think, "I must conquer and pillage this fine home." Enter a modern day King - King James. Lebron James has had several homes in his time as an NBA player, all of which were amazing.
For example, take a look at his home in Los Angeles, California. James recently purchased the home for almost $21 million dollars and the house covers over 9,000 square feet. With six bedrooms, the home offers enough space for a royal family and several servants. The one downside to this home is the low fence in the front yard, which would invite conquerers from neighboring lands to come overthrow the king or queen lucky enough to live in this glorious mansion.


Using the advanced military hardware found on the star-ship Endeavor, Jason Reeves and his paramilitary organization called Protectors, continue with operations against the world's criminals. Then, during one such operation, one of their number is abducted and tortured for information.
A rescue mission is put together and the operative eventually released, but not before the location of the Protectors' secret base in Kansas is divulged, forcing the organization to quickly evacuate.
"The Midas Conspiracy" is the second novel in the "Protectors Adventure" series.
