Look, we love jailbreaking and rooting as much as anyone; and, we know that when a new product comes out, the mod community is going to go after it and see if it can't be broken. It's all part of the game. The trouble is that another big part of the game is that Apple will continuously close any holes that allow for jailbreaking its products. So, the fact that iOS 7 has already been jailbroken isn't necessarily the best news, luckily the jailbreaker seems to know that.
The thing is that while it's good news for the few adventurous souls who have loaded up their devices with the iOS 7 beta who want to get some jailbreak apps, surfacing holes in iOS 7 this early on just means that jailbreaking could be even more difficult by the time we hit the full release. If the rumors are true, Apple is planning a new iOS 7 beta every two weeks, so holes could be patched very quickly, and we'll just go back and forth. On the other hand, if the exploits aren't exposed until iOS 7 is in full release, and there are more people who need/want the jailbreak, Apple's patch release cycle gets much slower.
Luckily, Ryan Petrich seems to understand that, so as yet, he has just posted pictures proving that iOS 7 can be jailbroken, but has not yet detailed the exploits used, or even released a jailbreaking tool yet. We'll have to wait and see how this unfolds, because if Petrich releases too soon, we could see some crazy back-and-forth between Apple and the mod community with iOS 7.
Near impossible? Every 8 out of 10 iPhone users i know jailbroke their iPhone in order to install cracked apps and avoiding paying for stuff. They dont mind voided warranty. If you cant do it yourself, any phone shops with such services will gladly do it for you with a small fee. Cheapskate Malaysian mentality.
It will happen sooner or later. If the user base is big, people will attempt it. Even windows phone will also be the same one day - widespread jailbreaking.
PS... How did your family members get the new iPhone 5s already when it isnt even out yet?
He means 3 of his family members just got iPhone 5s, not iPhone 5S.
Hmmmmm... Maybe smurf forgot the apostrophe, lets hope so, If not I'm going to get in line tonight.
Well said quakan. Why is it so hard for Troll, and others to just let people buy and enjoy what they want? I like iOS and I like android, therefore I own and ip5, and a note 2. This year I'll buy the ip5S, and note 3, and Craigslist the other two. Is that a crime, I ask?
Dude how many other companies phones had cracked screens last year. You make it sound as if only iPhones had them, and I'm not sticking up for apple. Mine has a cracked screen, after dropping about 15ft. Why do you not talk about the cracked screen on Nokia, Samsung, Moto, BB, HTC, and every other company. C'mon troll...really?
Jailbreak doesn't void your warranty.
It does. Unless you restored phone to factory settings before handing it to Apple or the customer service..
iOS 7 is still in the beginning stage and is extremely unstable, but I am hyped for the final version. Can't wait for jailbreak developers to unleash their creativity, my iPad is getting boring and needs a change.
They can keep patching the holes all they want, but the Apple community will continue to find new ways to exploit future releases. It's no different that what the Android community does.
He didn't release how he did it though. So apple doesn't know where the hole is, or what to patch. He just wanted some fame to show he found a way. Now, if he releases it, that would be a dumb move.
It will make apple more vigilant on the bug front though. Now there likely going to shut down any bug they find, in hopes of breaking the jail break.


Three men in balaclavas robbed a supermarket last night (Wednesday).
The men forced their way into Sainsbury's in Everard Close, St Albans, at about 11.30pm via the staff entrance.
One of the men made verbal threats to staff before smashing a freezer door with what is believed to be a metal bar.
Meanwhile, two men forced open several tills and stole cash.
The three men then left the store and crossed over the train tracks before getting into a vehicle which was parked by the garages behind Leyland Avenue.
Investigations are continuing and anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101.


Studying the ways people talk to themselves in their own minds is incredibly tricky because as soon as you ask them about it, you're likely interfering with the process you want to investigate. As William James said, some forms of introspective analysis are like "… trying to turn up the gas quickly enough to see how the darkness looks."
For many years Russell Hurlbert and his colleagues have used a technique that they believe offers the best way to study what they call "pristine" inner speaking, unaltered by outside interference. They provide participants with a beeper that goes off randomly several times a day, and ask them to record in precise terms their mental activity that was happening just before the beeps. Early in the process, this "descriptive experience sampling" (DES) approach also involves cooperative interviews between the participants and a trained researcher, so that the participant can learn to identify true instances of inner speaking from other mental phenomena.
Now Hurlbert's team has documented some of what they've learned so far about the ways that we talk to ourselves in our own minds. Our inner voices usually sound to us like our external spoken voice - instances of inner speaking occurring in another person's voice are very rare. Just like our spoken voice, the voice of inner speaking can also express degrees of volume and emotion.
Inner speaking is perceived as wilful - something done, rather than experienced passively. There is huge variation in the frequency with which people speak to themselves in their mind. In one study with 30 participants that involved ten beeps a day for three days, some reported no instances of inner speaking at all, while others reported inner speaking for 75 per cent of the beeps. On average inner speaking was reported at 23 per cent of beeps, although note that doesn't mean people are speaking to themselves 23 per cent of the entire time.
Also notable is some people's descriptions of inner speaking occurring while they are speaking aloud - with the two voices saying different things. There are also reports of inner speaking that has no meaning, and inner speaking that is at a much faster rate than would be physically possible for aloud speaking.
Inner speaking is also different from "unsymbolised thinking" according to the researchers. Unsymbolised thinking is a "thoughty experience" about a distinct concept or issue but does not involve words, pictures or symbols. Inner speaking also is not "sensory awareness" - when we're focused on a specific sensory aspect of the outside world or our bodies.
Hurlbert's group believe their approach has advantages over the questionnaire methods used by other researchers, which obviously rely on people remembering their past mental lives, and are often vague in what they mean by inner speaking. And Hurlbert's group think their method is more trustworthy than simple armchair introspection, because if you sit back and deliberately attempt to analyse your own inner speaking you will immediately interfere with the natural course of your mental activities.

Facebook is Cited in One of Five English Divorces
Society » Sex, relationship
But is it really the culprit? Experts discuss the issue
Rafael Martins, especially for iG Sao Paulo | 23/01/2010 08:00
A British survey revealed that Facebook is responsible for 20% of divorces in the country. The survey took into account five thousand petitions for separation and found 989 instances that cited the network of relationships.
But is the Internet a tool that facilitates betrayals? According to psychologist Carmen Magalhães, specializing in relationships, it can distort reality. "Everything can be planned and calculated on the Internet. The shy becomes spirited and outgoing. Pictures shown are the best, with angles that people want to show," he says. "It's easier to wear a mask and seductive escape from reality. The man loves the game of conquest and has a tool that facilitates their escapades without interfering in their day to day, as he can talk of work," he added.
The fact that your boyfriend or husband spends hours on the Internet does not mean he is cheating and it is not indicated to scour all the sites he's visited. Carmen says that if a person suddenly changes behavior, it may be a sign that something is wrong. "Aggressiveness, excuses that do not exist and distance may reveal missing dialogue between the couple. But do not encourage anyone to search social networking sites in search of some trace. If there is love and trust, it is best left for a discussion. It may be that the process is reversed if both realize what has going missing," he suggests.
Luciana Ruffo, who is a psychologist at the Center for Research in Psychology and Computer Science of PUC-SP (NPPI), says that, in fact, people do not cheat because of the internet. It only facilitates the process. "People use these channels as evidence of a betrayal, but I do not think it is the cause, 20% is a very high number to blame on the network," he said.
According to her, if a person has a predisposition to betray, they do not need any social networking site for that. "What happens is that these sites make it easier to find like-minded people and therefore may accelerate the process. If there is no intention or predisposition, it will not be used as a tool for this. The Internet increases the possibility, but does not create it. It does not make you betray. You cannot blame a tool for human behavior. The Internet is a reflection of what we do in real life," he adds.
Sites like Facebook cause many fights between couples. The explanation for this, says Luciana, is that people have fantasies that are unique. "When you're with someone, you have the illusion that there is no space for the partner to think of others. Social networking sites show people that they are not unique." And that does not mean talking to someone means a betrayal. "When read by someone who does not know the context, a message may seem simple proof of treachery and generate a fight or even a separation," he says.
"I think that when there is a case of real suspicion, the woman can use the Net to see if she can find out what goes on, but not to check up on her boyfriend or husband all the time," says Luciana.
Real x virtual
The psychiatrist and psychotherapist Luiz SCOCCO, specializing in sexual disorders, says that in his office there has been increased cases of patients reporting virtual betrayal. But he believes that they differ little from real situations. "Imagine you're at a party with your boyfriend, you go to the bathroom and as soon as you are gone he is talking to a girl. It's something like that. That contact can evolve into a telephone exchange, a conversation, a meeting ". Luiz says the virtual world facilitates rapprochement between people but, ultimately, a betrayal is a betrayal. "You should act as with any treachery, that is, talk a lot, try to consider the problems of the couple, and the connection and to separate, if necessary," he says.
Luiz says that the Internet has given rise to new formats for compulsions and bad habits and that people should, first of all, take care of their physical and mental health, filling their lives with productive activities. "When your life is devoid of quality, then it is just filled with things like this, that is, shallow virtual relationships," he says.
According to the psychologist, if the relationship is worn the Internet is way too easy. "If your relationship is bad, virtual distraction will not help to advance it. It is best to try to work at what is still within the relationship itself. The problem of betrayal has always existed, the Internet only made things easier. These are issues that existed long before the computer, "he says.

Ancient Law is a book by Henry James Sumner Maine. It was first published in octavo in 1861. The book went through twelve editions during the lifetime of the author. The twelfth edition was published in 1888. A new edition, with notes by Frederick Pollock, was published in octavo in 1906.
Lectures delivered by Maine for the Inns of Court were the groundwork for Ancient Law. Its object, as stated in the preface, was "to indicate some of the earliest ideas of mankind, as they are reflected in ancient law, and to point out the relation of those ideas to modern thought.

WORK AND ENERGY NCERT 9 SAMPLE PAPER
Q 1. What kind of energy is possessed by the following?
(a) A stone kept on the roof top.
(b) Water stored in the reservoir of a dam.
(c) A stretched rubber band.
(a) Potential energy
(b) Potential energy
(c) Potential energy
Q 2. Explain how wind mills are used to generate electricity?
In a wind mill, kinetic energy of wind is used to move the blades of fan which in turn move the coil of generator thereby converting kinetic energy to electrical energy. Thus, in the above example there is only transformation of energy from one form to another such that the total energy of the system remains conserved.
Q 3. Explain the principle behind the wind up toys.
Wind up toys have a spring inside it which gets wound up with the help of winding keys. So when we wind-up the spring of a toy car by using a winding key, then some work is done by us. As a result, the spring gets coiled up more tightly. The work done in winding the spring gets stored in the wound up spring in the form of elastic potential energy
(i.e potential energy due to change in shape). When we release the winding key the spring tries to attain its original shape. During this process, the potential energy stored in it gets converted to kinetic energy. This turns the wheels of the toy car.
Q 4. Write the form of energy possessed by the body in the following situations:
(a) a coconut falling from tree
(b) an object raised to a certain height
(c) blowing wind
(d) a child driving a bicycle on road
(a) Kinetic Energy and potential energy
(c) Kinetic Energy
(d) Kinetic Energy
Q 5. An engine pumps 40 kg of water per second. If water comes out with a velocity of 3m/s, what is the power of the engine?
Q 6. A porter lifts a luggage of 15 kg from the ground and puts it on the head 1.7 m above the ground. Find the work done by the porter on the luggage. Take g = 10 m/s2.
Work done by the porter on the luggage = Potential energy of the luggage W = m x g x h = 15 x 10 x 1.7 = 255 J
Q 7. An electric bulb is rated 15 watts. What does it mean? What is the energy consumed in joules if it is used for 10 minutes?
If power of an electric bulb is 15 W, it consumes 15 joules of energy per second. Energy consumed by the bulb in 10 minutes = 15W x 600s = 9000 joules
Q 8. A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. If the energy of the ball reduces by 40% after striking the ground, how much high can the ball bounce back? (g = 10ms-2)
The potential energy at height of 10 m = mgh = m x 10 x 10 = (100m) J On striking the ground, the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = (100m) J Energy is reduced by 40%, so the remaining energy = 60% x 100m = (60m) J The height upto which the ball can bounce back is given by h', such that mgh' = 60m m x 10 x h' = 60 x m h' = 60/10 = 6 m
Q 9. A man whose mass is 70 kg climbs from top of a hill station 'A' to another hill station 'B'. The height of hill station A is 1200 m above the sea level and that of B is 1800 m above the sea level. Calculate the work done in going from A to B (g=10m/s2)
PE at A = mgh1 = 70 x 10 x 1200 = 84×104 J PE at B = mgh2 = 70 x 10 x 1800 = 126×104 J Work done = 126×104 – 84×104 = 42×104 J
Q 10. Is it possible that an object is in the state of accelerated motion due to an external force acting on it but no work is being done by the force? Explain with an example.
Yes, it is possible. A body in uniform circular motion is an example of accelerated motion. Consider the motion of the Earth around the Sun. The Earth is constantly moving in a circular path in a direction perpendicular to the gravitational pull of the Sun. So, the work done by the gravitational force is zero. Thus, the work done can be zero for an accelerated body.
Q 11. Give examples of atmospheric phenomena that have large kinetic energy?
Hurricanes, tornadoes and jet stream are some of the atmospheric phenomena having large kinetic energy on account of their high speeds.
Q 12. (a) "An arrow and the stretched string on the bow is said to possess energy". Comment.
(b) A bag of wheat weighs 50 kg. Calculate the height to which it should be raised so that its potential energy is 5000J.
(a) (i) The stretched string possesses potential energy. When the bow string is released, arrow flies off the bow. The potential energy stored in the bow is used in the form of kinetic energy of the arrow.
(b) P.E = mgh 5000 = 50 x 10 x h h = 5000/500 = 10 m
Q 13. When is work said to be done against the force of gravity? State and define SI unit of work.
When the body is raised to a height, the work is said to be done against the force of gravity. S.I. Unit of work is joule. One joule of work is said to be done when 1N force moves a body through a distance of 1m.
Q 14. What is the work done by frictional force on an object when dragged along a rough surface?
Frictional force is always opposing the relative motion of the body. When a body is dragged along a rough surface, the frictional force will be acting in the direction opposite to the displacement. The angle between the frictional force and the displacement of the body will be 180o. Thus, the work done by the frictional force will be negative.
Q 15. If the velocity of an object is doubled, what is the change in its kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity. Hence, kinetic energy will become 4 times when velocity is doubled.
Q 16. When an object moves on a circular path, what is the work done?
Work done is zero, because displacement (along tangent) is always perpendicular to the direction of force (along centre).
Q 17. State the energy transformation in the following :
(i) heat engine
(ii) electric motor
(i) In a heat engine heat energy gets converted into mechanical energy
(ii) In an electric motor electrical energy gets converted into mechanical energy
Q 18. What kind of energy does a flying bird or a flying airplane has during their course of action?
A flying bird or a flying airplane has kinetic energy as well as potential energy during their course of action. The flying bird and airplane have kinetic energy because they are moving. They have potential energy at any point of time in their flight due to their height above ground at that particular point of time. Thus, a body can have both potential and kinetic energy at the same time.
Q 19. When we burst a cracker, is it correct to say that the chemical energy of crackers get used up or are destroyed as we are left with just ashes after bursting cracker?
Its wrong to say that energy gets used up or destroyed. According to law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed it just converts from one form to other. On bursting a cracker the chemical energy of crackers transform into heat and light energy.
Q 20. Given below are a few situations. Study them and state in which of the cases, work is said to be done. Give reason for your answer.
(i) A person pushing a huge rock but the rock does not move. (ii) A bullock pulling a cart upto 1 km on road.
(iii) A girl pulling a trolley for about 2 m distance.
(iv) A person standing with a heavy bag on his head.
(i) No work is done, as there is zero displacement
(ii) Yes, the work is said to be done as the cart moves through a distance.
(iii) Yes, the work is said to be done as the trolley moves through a distance.
(iv) No work is done, as there is no displacement of the person or the bag.
Q 21. Two masses m and 2m are dropped from heights h and 2h. On reaching ground, which will have a greater kinetic energy and why?
Body with mass 2m will have a greater kinetic energy, because it has greater height and mass, and hence greater potential energy. This potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the mass falls down. Hence, mass 2m has greater kinetic energy.
Q 22. A mass m is dropped from a height h. At half way to the ground, what is the energy?
At maximum height h, potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is zero. PE = mgh Now, according to conservation of energy, the energy at all the points is same along the line of motion. Thus, at midway also, the total energy is mgh.
Q 23. Which formula do we use to calculate the work done when a body is moved against gravity ?
When the work is done against gravity, then the amount of work done is equal to the weight of the body times the vertical distance through which it is lifted. Work done = Weight of body x vertical distance against gravity W = mg x h= mgh Where, W – Work m – Mass g – acceleration due to gravity h – vertical distance
Q 24. An object of mass 20 kg is dropped from a height 'h' metres as shown in the tables below. (g = 10 m/s2) Table A Height from which an object is dropped 'h' (m) Velocity of an object falling from the height 'v2' (m/s2) 10 0 2 80 Table B Height from which an object is dropped 'h' (m) Velocity of an object falling from the height 'v2' (m/s2) 10 0 2 40 Which of the above tables has wrong data in terms of the law of conservation of energy of an object falling from height 'h' metres?
Table A: Height from which an object is dropped 'h' (m) Velocity of an object falling from the height 'v2' (m/s2) Potential energy mgh (J) Kinetic energy ½mv2 (J) TE = PE + KE 10 0 20 × 10 ×10 = 2000 ½ × 20 × 0 = 0 2000 2 80 20 × 10 ×2 = 400 ½ × 20 × 80 = 800 1200 Table B: Height from which an object is dropped 'h' (m) Velocity of an object falling from the height 'v2' (m/s2) Potential energy mgh (J) Kinetic energy ½mv2 (J) TE = PE + KE 10 0 20 × 10 × 10 = 2000 ½ × 20 × 0 = 0 2000 2 40 20 × 10 × 2 = 400 ½ × 20 × 40 = 400 800 According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object should remain the same at every point during its fall.
Q 25. Define the SI unit of Work.
The SI unit of work is Joule (J) Work = Force x Distance 1 Joule = 1 newton x 1 metre Therefore, we define 1 Joule as the amount of work done when a force of one newton moves a body through a distance of 1 metre in the direction of force applied.
Q 26. A microwave uses 450 KJ of electric energy in 5 minutes. Calculate its power rating.
Electric energy consumed, E = 450 KJ = 450 x 1000 J = 450000 J Time taken, t = 5 minutes = 5 x 60 sec = 300 sec Power, P = E/t = 450000/300 = 1500 watts
Q 27. Two bodies of same mass start from rest and move with velocities of v and 2v respectively. Find the ratio of their kinetic energies.
For body1: K.E.1 = ½ mv2 For body 2: K.E.2 = ½ m(2v)2 K.E.2 = 4 (½ mv2) Thus, we have K.E.1: K.E.2 = 1:4
Q 28. State the factors on which work done depends.
Work done by a force depends on: 1. Magnitude of the force applied. 2. The distance through which the body moves in the direction of force.
Q 29. Derive an expression for the work done when a force is acting on an object in the direction of its displacement. A pair of bullocks exerts a force of 150 N on a plough. The field being ploughed is 15 m long. How much work is done in ploughing the length of the field?
When a force F displaces a body through a distance s in the direction of the applied force, then the work done W on the body is given by the expression:Work done = Force × DisplacementW = F × s Work done by the bullocks is given by the expression:Work done = Force × DisplacementW = F × sWhere,Applied force, F = 150 NDisplacement, s = 15 mW = 150 × 15 = 2250 J Hence, 2250 J of work is done in ploughing the length of the field.
Q 30. Home electricity bills come in units called Kilowatt-hour. How many joules is equal to 1 kilowatt hour. Why kilowatt hours are used instead of joules in the bill?
1 Kilowatt hour = 36, 00,000 joules = 3.6 x 106 J One kilowatt hour is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an electrical appliance having a power rating of 1 kilowatt is used for 1 hour. Kilowatt hour is used for measuring electricity consumed, as joule represents a very small quantity of energy and therefore it is inconvenient to use joules where large quantities of energy is involved.

I like rural settings. I like small towns. With my work I travel a ton and my favorite places to stay are usually in small towns. I love how no matter where you are, you feel almost like you are coming home because the people are just so friendly. Afton Wyoming is one of those towns. It is definitely not huge, and I have a feeling it is what Jackson Hole was 25 years ago before the big money came to town. Don't get me wrong, I like all the trappings of a city. But you would have a tough time beating a small town for the way people open their arms to you.
I just loved that picture and had to post it up here somehow.
So look for some great pictures up here on Monday. I want to get another installment of the Flexibility Series put up, but I am literally on the road for the next 10 days. I guess I could take pictures of myself stretching, but I am not sure you people would want to see that. I will review the ride to let you locals know if it is worth the trip and how well supported it really is. I have a feeling this is going to be a blast.
PS. My Dad wrote me an email today suggesting I keep my heart rate in check on climbs. I love how I am almost 40 and he still worries about me. Thanks Dad.
PPS. If you want to know what I use for nutrition on rides like this, remember I have transitioned to all liquid nutrition. Here is my formula for the Infinit that I use.
Have a GREAT time, and no matter their age (my dad is 90), they always worry about their babies.
Take a ton of pics!!!


The top requests from hiring managers this year has been for developers which is indeed great news for software engineers and professionals!
The recruiting environment for software development professionals including the .NET professionals has been quite good according to the jobs site Dice. IT teams are in great demand since they play pivotal roles in supporting companies' goals. Investment in technology has increased too which refers to the increasing demand on software professionals.
Hiring managers have searched for .NET developers and professionals along with SharePoint developers in the last quarter. The need of .Net developers has increased since last year as companies are willing to increase their IT spending to reach their goals.
New York showed tremendous need of technology jobs including jobs for software professionals and topped the list of top cities for getting technology jobs. The demand has risen nearly five percent compared to last year in the city. The Washington DC/Baltimore metro were a close second while Silicon Valley, Chicago and Los Angeles were part of the top five according to the recent Dice report.
There is a great deal of analysis going on the relative shortage of .NET Developers and Java developers in the US. According to a report released last September, the shortage of .NET developers has affected companies in all US states. The problem with the shrinking number of .NET developers is partly attributed to the fact that most professionals are concerned whether they will be able to move out to different platforms in the near future after they specialize in .NET application development. It is not easy for .NET engineers to branch out to multiple platforms, according to analysts. Additionally, software development professionals are concerned about the money gap since .NET developers are getting paid less that their Java counterparts on an average.
Matching up with IT professionals in the US, UK and Ireland also displayed a strong demand of IT professionals in their cities. The need for software professionals is particularly high in Ireland in different domains including .Net, Java and C++. Specialists of any of these languages are always in demand in these places.
Most financial services and insurance companies are opting to hire software professionals and also willing to increase their IT spending for the year to accommodate them, according to recent surveys.
Those candidates who are specialized in software development in one of the languages are in demand for their skill sets such as Java, .NET and C++ and most of them even command a hike of more than 5-10% when they are changing jobs in Ireland.
Project managers for .NET development are also in demand albeit in contract roles. There is a high preference amongst companies to hire project managers particularly this year. Recent surveys indicate that .Net developers in UK earn salaries of between €47,000 and €66,000 annually this year which is a slight difference from the previous year where the upper limit was about €60,000.
General software developers are also in high demand although the salary range is a bit on the lower side compared to specialists. The future is expected to be bright for the .NET developers throughout 2012 and continued business is expected to pour in for the professionals.

The measurement of electrical activity at the scalp using EEG can provide great insight into cognition and information processing. For example, event-related potentials (ERPs) are positive or negative deflections that correspond to a stimulus or event. These ERPs can reflect error processing and attentional processes associated with a stimulus. Specifically, error-related negativity and feedback-related negativity (ERN, FRN), are related to performance/conflict monitoring. Furthermore, the P300 ERP reflects attentional processes in response to target stimuli. Previous research examining the P300 component on a complex learning task has demonstrated increased P300 amplitude in response to violations of participants' expectations about task events. The current study extends this research by examining ERN and FRN amplitudes on trials with incorrect behavioral responses throughout the same learning task. Pilot data has been collected from four participants. Participants wore an electrode cap with 32 electrodes to record EEG data while completing a paired associate task. Pilot data has demonstrated an increased ERN amplitude 50ms after error commission on incorrect trials. The ERN and FRN amplitudes were greater for incorrect trials than for correct trials. Larger P300 amplitudes were also observed for the incorrect trials than for the correct trials. This extension upon previous findings provides further insight into the role of performance monitoring and error processing in learning.

January job ads boast biggest rise in a decade: ANZ
Updated February 5, 2018 — 12.38pm first published at 12.37pm
Job advertisements in newspapers and on the internet surged by the most in a decade in January, pointing to still-healthy demand for labour despite months of rapid employment growth.
A monthly survey by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group out on Monday showed total job advertisements jumped 6.2 per cent in January from December, when they fell 2.7 per cent. That was the largest monthly rise since February 2010.
The average total number of ads per week was 177,961, up 13.8 per cent compared to a year ago and the highest since 2011. Credit:Virginia Star
The average total number of ads per week was 177,961, up 13.8 per cent compared to a year ago and the highest since 2011.
"It is encouraging to see a strong recovery in job ads last month after a slight retreat in December," said David Plank, ANZ's head of Australian economics.
"The bounce in January is in line with ongoing strength in business conditions, capacity utilisation and other surveys of employment conditions."
Jobs growth surged past all expectations last year, according to the official measure of employment, nudging the jobless rate down to 5.4 per cent.
Yet wage growth stayed unusually tepid at just 2.0 per cent, dragging on household incomes and consumer spending power.
With inflation also contained, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is considered certain to keep interest rates at an historic low of 1.5 per cent at its first policy meeting of the year on Tuesday.

Kostel svatého Petra a Pavla je jednolodní pozdně barokní farní kostel v Želechovicích nad Dřevnicí. Je chráněn jako kulturní památka.

Historie
Stojí na místě středověkého kostela, o čemž svědčí některé dochované stavební prvky. V 16. století byla fara obsazena nekatolíky a kolem roku 1620 zanikla. V následujících letech patřila farnost střídavě k Vizovicím a ke Zlínu. V roce 1737 byl kostel renovován. Od roku 1756 zde působila expozitura a v roce 1785 byla ustavena lokálie, která byla teprve v roce 1843 povýšena na faru.

Individual variation in cloned calves
Cells recovered from early embryos, up to the morula stage, work efficiently as donor cells for cloning. Cloning from embryonic cells was conducted successfully for more than a decade before the birth of the first mammal produced via nuclear transfer using adult somatic cells ("Dolly," a sheep reported by the Roslin Institute, Scotland, in 1997). Cloning using differentiated somatic cells as nuclear donors is termed somatic cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT.
The most common tissue used for cloning from adult animals is subcutaneous connective tissue. The tissue is minced and cultured in vitro. Outgrowing fibroblasts are harvested and replated (passaged) in new dishes to continue proliferation until millions of cells have been produced. These are then typically cryopreserved for future use.
Mature oocytes from the same or closely related species (essentially subspecies) are required for the nuclear transfer. The genetic value of the oocytes is not important, although their mitochondrial makeup may be, because the resulting clone will carry the mitochondria of the host oocyte (see below). Oocytes are typically recovered from slaughterhouse material and then matured in vitro, although in some species, meiotically mature oocytes (from preovulatory follicles or from the oviduct after ovulation) are collected.
Nuclear transfer is typically performed using a microscope with micromanipulators. The chromosomes of the oocyte are removed, creating an enucleated oocyte, or ooplast. The somatic cell used for cloning must be synchronized to be early in the cell cycle (before DNA synthesis). The somatic cell is combined with the ooplast, either by membrane fusion using an electric pulse or by direct injection of the donor cell into the ooplast via micromanipulation.
The recombined oocyte, now containing the nucleus of the donor cell, is treated to mimic the activation signal of fertilization, which stimulates it to develop into an embryo. After activation, the developing embryo may be transferred surgically to the oviduct of a recipient female or may be cultured in vitro to a stage at which it can be transferred to the uterus transcervically (nonsurgically), as for standard embryo transfer.
Health and Phenotype of Cloned Domestic Animals
Several factors influence the health and phenotype of the cloned individual, including epigenetic effects, mitochondrial DNA, uterine and postnatal environment, mutations, and individual variation.
Epigenetic Effects
After nuclear transfer, the ooplast must reprogram the DNA from the somatic cell so that it functions like that of a zygote. This is controlled largely by methylation and demethylation of bases in the DNA and by modification of the histones, the proteins around which the DNA is wrapped. Controlling the transcription of DNA in this manner, without altering the structure of the DNA itself, is termed epigenetic control. The oocyte must reprogram the DNA of the donor cell initially at the time of cloning, and then maintain the normal patterns of epigenetic modification through the different stages of development.
The amount and accuracy of reprogramming of the donor DNA is probably the major reason for success or failure of fetal development in cloning. Minor deficiencies in conferring normal epigenetic status may not affect the general health of the cloned individual but may still cause it to vary in phenotype from the donor animal. A visible example of this was seen in the first cloned cat, CC. CC expressed only brown coat color, whereas her genetic donor expressed both orange and brown (eg, calico). Because the X chromosome carries the gene for coat color in cats, this indicates that in CC, X chromosome inactivation was not random; rather, the same X chromosome was inactivated in all cells, presumably because of failure to reactivate the inactive X at the time of cloning.
One of the major tissues affected by failure of normal epigenetic reprogramming after SCNT is the placenta. Much of the pregnancy loss associated with transfer of SCNT-derived embryos is attributed to abnormal placental function.
Epigenetic effects may also influence the phenotype of the nuclear transfer-derived animal after birth; eg, an animal with growth factor genes transcribed at high levels may grow larger than its cloned sibling with less active genes, even though the actual number and makeup of the genes are the same. However, it has been shown in all species studied that major epigenetic anomalies present in cloned animals are not passed on to the offspring of the clones, because the epigenetic status of cells is reset during sperm and oocyte development.
The nuclear transfer embryo will have the nuclear DNA of the genetic donor but will have the mitochondrial DNA of the ooplast used. A small number of mitochondria from the donor cell may also be present, but typically proportionately few. The impact of the source of mitochondria, or a mixture of mitochondria, on the traits of the progeny is currently unclear. Because mitochondria are the source of energy for the cell, differences in mitochondria could potentially have an effect on production, stamina, or other physical or behavioral traits. In addition, miscommunication between the transferred nuclear DNA and the mitochondria may effect placental development.
The heterogeneous mitochondria present in a female produced by nuclear transfer will be passed down to the female's offspring, because they will be present in her oocytes. Offspring may inherit a different proportion of donor and host ooplast mitochondria than are present in the cloned female due to the bottleneck in numbers of mitochondria present at some stages of oocyte development. For male clones, although sperm from a male produced by nuclear transfer will carry the heterogeneous mitochondria, these mitochondria will be eliminated after the sperm fertilize an egg, so the male clone's mitochondria are not found in the offspring. Thus, a male clone can be considered to produce progeny that are genetically identical to those that the original donor animal would have produced.
Uterine size and health; milk production of the dam; nutritional, exercise, and training programs; and handling to which the neonate is exposed may all influence the animal as an adult. All of these factors affect conventionally produced offspring as well, but their effects are visible in clones because there is an expected phenotype (that of the donor animal). For example, the cloned cat, CC, was outgoing and gregarious, whereas her genetic donor was reserved. However, the genetic donor was a research cat, raised in a cage and unused to attention, whereas CC was raised with an overabundance of attention and stimulation.
Genetic mutations are potentially more likely in cloned animals, because cultured cells are used as the DNA source. The donor cells are grown and passaged in vitro, and this is associated with an increasing number of chromosomal abnormalities with increasing passages. However, cells with chromosomal abnormalities are unlikely to produce viable embryos.
Individual Variation
Cell differentiation occurs in cascades, as differentiation of one cell type affects the status of the cells around it. During development, cell multiplication and apoptosis occur in response to many environmental and internal stimuli. Thus, random individual variations will occur in the makeup of tissues, even in individuals of the same genetic background. A visual example of this is in the markings of cloned animals; individuals cloned from the same cell line tend to have white in similar places, but the markings can vary dramatically in size and shape.

The "Entourage" alum Jeremy Piven passes a lie detector test. Thus he is one step ahead to the three women who accused him of sexual assault.
Jeremy Piven has proved that he didn't grope Tiffany Bacon, Arianne Bellamar, and Amy Meador bypassing all the additional tests with no any signs of deception on the Polygraph, according to The Blast.
According to the report obtained by The Blast, Jeremy Piven was asked to answer the following questions:
"Did you ever 'corner' Ms. Bellamar in your trailer so that you could 'grab' her breasts and/or buttocks?"
"Did you ever 'grab' and/or fondle Ms. Arieanne Bellamar's breasts?"
"Did Ms. Bellamar ever enter your trailer on the set of Entourage?"
As for Jeremy Piven, he responded "no" to every question. There was no sign of deception while answering these questions during the Polygraphic test.
Piven too has denied all the sexual allegations by saying:
I unequivocally deny the appalling allegations being peddled about me. It did not happen. It takes a great deal of courage for victims to come forward with their histories, and my hope is that the allegations about me that didn't happen, do not detract from stories that should be heard
Jeremy Piven young age photo
Born in the year 1965 in Manhattan, New York City, Jeremy Piven is an American actor and producer. He was born to the parents Byrne Piven and Joyce Hiller Piven. His parents were both drama teachers and actors. As a teenager, Jeremy attended Harand Theater Camp in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. He graduated from Illinois based "Evanston Township High School."
According to the Wiki, Jeremy Piven's parents were Jewish, so he considers his ethnicity as Jewish. His parents founded Piven Theatre Workshop where he had done training and is an alumnus of the theatre. Jeremy lost his father in 2002, and now he has only a mother in the name of parents. He loves his mother too much. He shared a picture of him with his mother, Joyce on Instagram last weekend.

Jeremy Piven celebrates his birthday on the 26th of July. His last birthday was his first day on the set of his new upcoming TV series "Wisdom of the Crowd." Following the latest birthday, Jeremy Piven's age is 52.
Jeremy has another name 'Ladies' Man.' He has dated many beautiful ladies till dates. Jeremy Piven's dating history consists of many famous faces. But no one could become Jeremy Piven's wife. Hence, he has not married any of his girlfriends yet. So what do you think about Jeremy Piven's married life?
Jeremy Piven's age is 52 as of now so many questions arise regarding his marriage. Why is he not married? Is Jeremy Piven gay?
To suspect Jeremy Piven as a gay is common but in reality, he is not a gay. Back in January 2015, Jeremy shared his thought about getting married and to have a wife to start a family. He stated to Daily Mirror:
I would love to have a big family. I'm from a family of four that felt right – a boy and a girl. There are a lot of people who work all the time who have families. Things like work are just excuses. I need to get on it – to step up my game
It seems like Jeremy is looking for a perfect partner with whom he can spend his married life happily. So who will be Jeremy Piven's wife? It will be interesting to know about Jeremy Piven married life and his wife in the future.
But is there someone at present who can be Jeremy Piven's wife? Is Jeremy Piven dating someone? Let's know:
There is one girl who is recently in a relationship with Jeremy. So who is Jeremy Piven's girlfriend at present?
Well, Jeremy Piven's girlfriend is a Welsh model Danielle Page. They met each other at a Los Angeles Party and started dating since then. A source told Dailymail:
When they met he was flirting straight away. He kept asking her to go running or do yoga. It heated up pretty quickly. She likes him – but it's early days
Jeremy Piven's girlfriend Danielle Page
The couple has a common interest in yoga. So they grew much closer to each other. However, neither of the couples has commented on their dating affair. Whether they are still dating or have already split, no one knows.
If Jeremy is still dating Danielle, then will he marry her? Can Danielle be Jeremy Piven's wife? It's the future talk. But if they have already split and Jeremy is looking for a new dating partner, then good luck to him!
Jeremy Piven enjoyed dating many famous faces. Many people refer to him as the Casanova of Hollywood. His past dating history comprises of many beautiful ladies. Before Danielle Page, Jeremy Piven's girlfriend was Kate Nardi. He was dating her in 2013.
Jeremy Piven's ex-girlfriend, Kate Nardi. They were dating back in 2013
Not only Kate but Jeremy has a long list of girlfriends till now. Alexandra Burke- X-Factor winner, Sophie Turner- cast member of Game of Thrones, Rachel Hunter- Australian model, January Jones, were all Jeremy Piven's girlfriend at past. Among such girlfriends, Erica Lancellotti is the one with whom Jeremy stayed in a long-term relationship. The couple had split in 2012.
As an American actor and producer, Jeremy Piven's net worth must be high. He has appeared in more than 50 movies since 1990. With almost 27 years of career in acting, Jeremy Piven has accumulated a vast amount of money responsible for his immense net worth. As of 2017, Jeremy Piven's net worth is around $20 million. People who always desire to know Jeremy Piven's net worth, are most often confused, as his net worth changes accordingly. So if you are interested in Jeremy Piven's net worth, stay updated!

Ed Reed, Tony Gonzalez Look Set to Headline the 2019 Pro-Football Hall Of Fame Class
Football Sports
by Akarsh Shekhar August 3, 2018 0556
Since 1963, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has enshrined the most influential and exceptional figures from the world of Professional Football (talking about American Football here) in Canton, Ohio, United States of America. The enshrinees include players, coaches, front office personnel and franchise owners who have made contributions to the sport while being a part of the National Football League (NFL). Every year, four to eight members are inducted into the Hall of Fame. The official mission of the Hall of Fame is to "Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE."
There are two reasons for the Hall of Fame's existence in Canton. First of all, the NFL was founded in Canton during the year 1920 (called the American Professional Football Association then). Second, the now defunct Canton Bulldogs were a successful NFL team during the league's nascent stages. The building's foundations were laid on August 11th, 1962. It was a modest two room building covering just 19,000 square feet of interior space. In April, 1970, work started to expand the building to cover 34,000 square feet. An additional room was added and the expansion was completed in May, 1971 at the cost of $620,000.
The building was further expanded in November, 1978 at the cost of $1.2 million. The gift shop, research library and the theatre were increased in size. The Hall was 50,500 square feet in size now. The next expansion was completed in October, 1995. The size of the Hall swelled up to 82,037 square feet. This expansion featured the addition of the GameDay Stadium, which shows movies and clips produced by NFL Films on a 20 foot by 42 foot Cinemascope screen. This expansion cost $9.2 million.
The latest expansion, carried out in 2013, pushed the size of the Hall to 118,000 square feet. To coincide with the 100th Anniversary of the NFL, the $800 million Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village, is scheduled for completion in 2020.
As of today, the Pro Football Hall Of Fame has 318 members with the Chicago Bears having the most number of representatives at 34 enshrinees. As Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher lead the class of 2018 into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, let's take a look at the players who will almost certainly be enshrined into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
Tony Gonzalez
Kevin Mawae
Isaac Bruce
Tony Boselli
Ty Law
Steve Hutchinson
Whenever a conversation for the 'Greatest Tight Ends in NFL History' comes up, Tony Gonzalez' name always hovers near the top. The 14 time Pro-Bowler (tied with Peyton Manning, Bruce Matthews and Merlin Olsen for the most in NFL history) has the most receptions (1,325) and receiving yards (15,127) at his position. His receptions overall are second only to Jerry Rice in NFL history. The five time first team All-Pro was also an absolute iron man, only missing 2 games during his illustrious 17 year career. His induction into the Hall of Fame is all but certain.
During the 2000s, Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu terrorized the offensive systems of teams throughout the NFL. Ed Reed was perhaps the most dangerous player on interception returns in league history (Reed holds the record for the two longest interceptions returned for a touchdown at 106 and 107 yards). The Baltimore Ravens safety joined forces with linebacker Ray Lewis to form the core of the most formidable defence in NFL history. Reed ended his career with a record 1,590 interception return yards to go along with 13 career touchdowns (seven coming off interceptions). The Super Bowl XLVII champion prominently features in any 'Greatest Safety in NFL History' conversation and should deservedly get enshrined in 2019, which will be his first year of eligibility.
Champ Bailey was drafted into the NFL by the Washington Redskins. The cornerback out of Georgia joined a team which featured future Hall of Fame Cornerbacks Darrell Green (widely considered to be the fastest player in NFL history) and Deion 'Prime Time' Sanders. No player could've possibly had better legends to learn the tricks of the trade from than Bailey. He quickly went on to succeed Sanders as the best cornerback in the NFL. The 12 time Pro-Bowler was also selected as a member of the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. The world will be shocked if Bailey doesn't get inducted into the Hall of Fame next year.
Throughout his 16 year NFL career, Mawae was one of the league's best centers. The eight time Pro-Bowler made three All-Pro teams and the NFL 2000s All Decade Team.
The St. Louis Rams' 'Greatest Show on Turf' was one of the most exciting offensive systems in NFL History. Night after night, they torched the opposition's defence up. Three members of that vaunted offence, Marshall Faulk, Orlando Pace and Kurt Warner are already in the Hall of Fame. It's about time that Bruce, a four time Pro Bowler, who is also fifth in the NFL's all time receiving yards list, joins his partners in crime.
This five time Pro-Bowler and three time All Pro Offensive Tackle was the first ever draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Injuries shortened his career but he was dominant while he played.
Usually, when people talk about the success of the New England Patriots, they only mention quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick. However, Ty Law was a crucial member of the first three Super Bowl winning Patriots teams. The five time Pro-Bowler made two All-Pro teams and has 53 career interceptions, same as Deion Sanders.
The nine time Pro Bowler made six All Pro teams at the guard position and has been a finalist for the Hall of Fame induction 3 times already. It's about time he was inducted.
Along with Alan Faneca, Hutchinson was considered the best guard in the NFL during the 2000s. The seven time Pro-Bowler made the All-Pro team five times. He was also a finalist for induction in 2018.
He ranks 13th in all time career rushing yards (12,246), ahead of Hall of Famers like Franco Harris, Thurman Thomas and Marcus Allen. He also led the league in rushing yards during the 1999 and 2000 seasons.
Alongwith Hall of Famers Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks, Lynch formed one of the most formidable defensive units in NFL History. The nine time pro-bowler was instrumental in the rise of the Tampa Buccaneers from the laughing stock of the league to Super Bowl XXXVII champions. He has been a Hall of Fame finalist five time already. Sixth time maybe a charm for him.

There is no Death yea?
The pieces are moving into position! But with that said, a very clear, explicit statement must be made regarding Council stuff going forward.
This is not and will not become a job for any of the players I've spoken with who have agreed to do Council things. One of the contributing factors to my stepping away from being an active player was that I had stopped RPing for myself and was largely only RPing for other people. Now, I -- and the others -- are happy to do that, that's what the Council is here for! But only some of the time. Or, in painfully blunt terms, when we feel like it.
I want to make Council stuff fun for people, and a way to move plots and advance our collective RP and provide structure and framework and all that good stuff. But that includes making it fun for our Councilors. Already, before any kind of official Council is even yet in place, I have been harassed about Council stuff that is not the reason I am currently online and in-game. I appreciate that people are passionate and enthusiastic and that's awesome! But I and the others need to be able to play our characters (or sometimes just the game) without feeling like chopped liver. That means we will not always be on Council characters. That means we will be doing other things sometimes, and not bothering with this or that bit of Counciling.
So, essentially, the rule is thus: Unless a player is specifically on a Council character and specifically RPing that character in that context, do not harass that player about Council stuff. For example, Iaera milling around a Jedi Night and talking to people would be a fine time to discuss Council stuff IC, or maybe OOC if I am not actively busy talking to someone else. If I am on Iaera but currently in Kuat Mesas, maybe not the best time. If I am on Sibyl-ko RPing an adventure hosted by one of our other fine community members, maybe not the best time.
I can't speak for the others, but if you have Council Stuff you would like to discuss with me in an OOC capacity, you may PM me at any time and I will get back to you when I can!
In short, think of the Council as having office hours: Do not call them at 3 AM, do not stalk them to their cars, do not bother them while they're beating the high score on Dig Dug. And we will all be happier and saner for it!
If I am on Iaera but currently in Kuat Mesas, maybe not the best time.
Here I thought Iaera just didn't want to talk to Jaade.
Wanted to plug the Council thread, and also the Jedi Field Reports thread I started for more newsy stuff not necc needing Council action.
On the topic of Jedi/Republic relations, my brief 2 cents- respect if majority of Custodum has moved that way, which makes sense if back on Coruscant. Though I'd gently caution equating "Orthodox" to "Unanimous" or assuming "Old Republic" relations are exactly the same as Prequel era.
For one thing, the Prequel Jedi had been HIGHLY subjected as an agency under the Republic Judicial office (because too many haughty Jedi Nobles running around in Dark Ages between now and then). I understand now as more the Old Republic standard of a sovereign monastic order that stands on its own, albeit with oaths and pledges to serve the Republic. Hence being able to do things like decide neutrality in extreme cases, as during the Mandolorian Wars, or withdraw to Tython to recover as we did during Cold War.
I'm not suggesting major changes, just make sure we're Servants of the Republic, but not Slaves/Subjects of the Senate (a big part of the Prequel dynamic was the Jedi were tricked into that by the Sith). I also think its totally fair to assume that coming out of Zakuul, there is internal disagreement/subfactions of even Orthodox/Loyalist Jedi and that the Custodum would be healthier to have some realistic diversity of opinion, without necc changing overall direction of Guild. In some ways a reversal of the militant Republic Old Revanite/Neutral Council Majority split from the Mandolorian War, with the majority at this point fighting FOR the Republic and the minority more cautious given recent political betrayals. (though both sides perhaps leery of any Sixth Line zealot remnants, a thread I plan to play with too).
For Maerin's part, I intend to continue to play her as a Master protecting the Custodum's Rear Guard on the Rim, maintaining the droids and Adega Base as asked by Master Telline, and keeping parts of the Jedi Underground hidey holes on the Rim ready if needed again. She'd likely welcome help from folks leery of the Core world politics, but not looking to undermine the work on Coruscant. Likely involved in some upcoming Hutt Space intrigues too, which she's keeping an eye on though less formally as before. Not sure how many Masters needed for the Council proper, though happy to offer her as a long-distance Council member or informal contact for more remote missions or isolated Enclaves needing support.
As an aside too, if anyone is interested in more Tython focused stuff, we did a joint Wraiths-Custodum plot to flesh some of that out too. Still keeping vague since don't know what happened there post-Zakuul with leadership. But ways the Jedi explored/scouted some of the former worlds of the system to be more independent during the rough years of isolation. Would be fun to occasionally visit there for a diplomatic or aid mission, as the Custodum sent formal starfighter/defense supplies to them during the Coalition period and one of my characters, Tela was one of the folks who endured a few lonely years as a Padawan there.

text: Entering The X Factor as five individual contestants dreaming of pop stardom in 2010, it was guest judge Nicole Scherzinger's master plan to unite the lads into all conquering boy band One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell, the group finished third in the competition behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle after performing a duet of She's The One with Robbie Williams in the live final. The lads were part of the show's charity record Heroes, which reached Number 1 in the UK, before signing to Cowell's Syco Music and heading out on The X Factor tour. Every inch the doe-eyed, heartthrob boy band, their debut single sent the nation's teen and pre-teens all a flutter, reaching Number 1 and becoming the fastest selling track of the year with 153,965 copies sold in the first week. Its follow-up Gotta Be You also fared well, reaching Number 3 before the lads worked with acclaimed producers Steve Mac, Matt Squire and Rami Yacoub on debut album Up All Night (2011). The boys won a BRIT in 2012 for their single What Makes You Beautiful.

Chattanooga's EPB takes quantum leap with test of new cybersecurity system (via Qpute.com)
The Chattanooga utility that started the first Gig internet service in the Western Hemisphere using its fiber optic network is now using that same fiber backbone to pioneer a new method of cybersecurity that could literally be a quantum leap ahead of any other utility in North America.
EPB on Thursday hosted top researchers in quantum physics from both the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in a test of a new type of cybersecurity control network regarded as far safer and less vulnerable to cyberattacks than any existing controls. The new CEDS (Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems) system uses quantum technology to encrypt messages sent along EPB's smart grid and was tested along a 21-kilometer route on Thursday.
"This is probably the most advanced quantum network in the country, especially considering that this is in a real utility environment," said Nicholas Peters, group leader for the Quantum Science Research Group at ORNL who first came to EPB four years ago as part of EPB's Engineer Scholars program. "If something is secure without regard to computing (like with quantum technology) you don't have to worry about advances in computer power breaking your algorithm and compromising security."
Cybersecurity is a top priority of the U.S. Department of Energy, which is funding the research to help guard against hackers threatening to mess with America's power grid. In 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy created the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response with a $28 million annual budget to research technologies that help prevent, detect and mitigate cyberattacks, with an emphasis on communication and cloud-based operations.

At the Tennessee Valley Authority, a team of 60 cybersecurity experts in downtown Chattanooga monitor more than 1 billion potential cyberthreats every day.
The power grid uses encrypted messages to dispatch and control the flow of electricity, but more sophisticated computers and hackers are increasingly able to break the mathematical codes behind such encryption, DOE officials said. The quantum technology uses the laws of physics to encode messages in ways that can immediately detect any hack.
On Thursday, researchers brought to EPB's distribution facility a variety of lasers, electronics and detectors to direct infrared light down some of EPB's unused optical fiber to show how three different quantum encryption systems could be used on an electric grid infrastructure. During the test, the researchers sent and received a series of numbers known as a key using the quantum key distribution, or QKD, protocol, which virtually guarantees that nobody can tamper or alter the messages.
The sender beams single infrared photons oriented in different directions—polarizations—and a receiver measures those orientations. In quantum mechanics, if you measure a photon's polarization, you instantly alter it from one state to another and any hack attempt is immediately known.
"We're sending single photons, or particles of light, on which we encode quantum information," said Dr. Raymond Newell, a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. "By measuring and extracting that information, we're able to generate secure data, like passwords for the system. They are not based upon mathematical complexity like most encryptions but rather the underlying laws of physics."
The ORNL researchers were attracted to EPB both because of its citywide fiber optic network and the utility's willingness to share in research efforts, including its Engineers Scholars program.

"It's amazing that EPB lets us come here and disrupt their lives doing these demonstration projects," Peters said.
Steve Morrison, director information security for EPB, said the city-owned utility has been working with DOE on quantum security for more than three years as part of its research efforts to be a leader in the industry.
"We have a real field test bed for these new technologies because of our smart grid," Morrison said. "We've learned a lot from these tests nd we continue to refine these technologies in ways that will help us have a safer, more reliable grid and really continue to position Chattanooga to be a leader."
The quantum approach still has technical problems on a real grid operating with transformers, switches and thousands of miles of wires. Photons can now only be sent about 100 miles or so on fiber-optic cable before their quantum properties change, so long-distance transmission connections still face some challenges.
But Duncan Earl, a former ORNL researcher who is now president and chief technical officer for Qubitekk in San Diego, which built much of the equipment tested Thursday, said quantum technology ultimately offers the opportunity for far safer and faster computing and encryption.
"We were able to secure better funding is San Diego, but it is nice to bring this technology back home and EPB is an incredible, progressive utility to work with on these projects," Earl said. "I can't even imagine working with any other utility."
