In 1895, in the year that Claude Hicks was born, on March 15th, in County Tipperary, Ireland, Michael Cleary killed his wife of 8 years, Bridget, and burned her body. His defense was that his "wife" was a changeling that was left in his real wife's place when she was abducted by fairies. He was nonetheless convicted and imprisoned for manslaughter. He spent 15 years in prison.
In 1918, at the age of 23 years old, Claude was alive when on November 1, an elevated train on the Brooklyn line of the subway - driven by an inexperienced operator because of a strike - tried to navigate a turn at 30mph. The limit on the curve was 6 mph. The 2nd and 3rd cars of the 5 car wooden train were badly damaged and at least 93 people were killed, making it the deadliest crash in New York subway history.
In 1927, at the age of 32 years old, Claude was alive when aviator and media darling Charles Lindbergh, age 25, made the first successful solo TransAtlantic flight. "Lucky Lindy" took off from Long Island in New York and flew to Paris, covering 3,600 statute miles and flying for 33 1⁄2-hours. His plane "The Spirit of St. Louis" was a fabric-covered, single-seat, single-engine "Ryan NYP" high-wing monoplane designed by both Lindbergh and the manufacturer's chief engineer.
In 1935, by the time he was 40 years old, on August 14, the Social Security Act was signed into law. The purpose was to "provide federal assistance to those unable to work". The law established the Social Security Administration whose primary focus was to "provide aid for the elderly, the unemployed, and children". The Act survived many Supreme Court challenges and the Administration continues until today.
In 1968, in the year of Claude Hicks's passing, on June 5th, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles by Sirhan after celebrating his win in the California presidential primary. He died the next day at Good Samaritan Hospital.

Kadamba Simmons (7 May 1974 – 13/14 June 1998) was a British actress and model.

Career
Simmons appeared in advertisements for many products including Martini and Pantene shampoo. She had small roles in several films.

Filmography
The Good Sex Guide (1994)
Grim (1995) — Katie
Mary Reilly (1996) — Farraday Girl
Breeders (1997) — Space Girl
Cash in Hand (1998) — Shirley
It's Different for Girls (1998)
Merlin: The Return (2000) — as a memorial mention in the credits only
The Wonderland Experience (2002) — Jodie

Murder
By 1997, Simmons was tired of her hard partying lifestyle. She saw her previous life as shallow and unfulfilling. According to her family, she stopped going to nightclubs, began reading literature and watching classic films. In 1998, she went to India with her sister, Kumari, to find herself. While in Goa, she met 22-year-old Yaniv Malka, a near-penniless former Israeli soldier and she became infatuated with him. They moved in together a day after meeting. When Kumari returned to London, Malka and Simmons moved to Berlin where they worked on a fruit juice stall. However, the reality of life in the German capital, so different from the idyllic time on Goa, soon lost its lustre. In June 1998, Simmons returned to London alone. Malka rang her and threatened to kill himself unless she agreed to see him. On the night before they met, she told her father, John, "He's a loser. I don't want to end up with a loser. He cannot look after himself - how can he look after me?"

On 13 June 1998, Malka arrived in London and Simmons spent the day with him. They went to a flat in Islington, north London, borrowed from a friend. The next day, Simmons's naked body was discovered hanging in the shower. She had been strangled and then hanged by a leather strap in the bathroom. The rest of the flat was awash with blood. Later that day, police spent 90 minutes persuading Malka not to jump from the fifth floor ledge of a student hall of residence at University College, London. Taken into custody, he claimed her death was part of a joint suicide pact. He said that they had sex and then she begged him to strangle her. On 29 March 1999, Malka was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Kadamba Simmons. He remained impassive as the judge passed sentence. Judge Elgan Edwards told Malka, "Kadamba Simmons had her whole life ahead of her. It was a life of great promise. You deprived her of that life. You caused suffering to her and great suffering to her family and friends." In February 2000, three Appeal Court judges unanimously rejected his claims that he had not received a fair trial.

Either way you're paying for somebody to review the plans and quantify what is necessary to construct the undertaking. Proposals should be targeted to a particular client. Customizing a tailored proposal simply suggests that you compose each proposal to tackle a particular client's wants and thus persuade that specific client to award you the contract or provide you with the funding you seek. Thus, to promote an enterprise it's critical to create result-oriented proposals. Based on the demands of your client, the intricacy of the undertaking, and your kind of business, your proposal might be short and easy, or long and complex. Therefore, to sum up, a contractor proposal can fluctuate widely in content based on the nature of your organization and the project you propose to undertake. In a kit you will also find many sample contractor business proposals that will provide you great suggestions and help you quickly produce your own successful proposal.
Much like any task you perform for your client, you will want to ask some critical questions prior to getting started. My client may be a physician or a medical group director. Clients are a lot more likely to accept a proposal tailored only for them. If you don't know a lot regarding the clients or the undertaking, then you should do your homework before you commence writing.
In the Cover Letter (which is generally printed on your organization letterhead), explain who you are and include all of your relevant contact details. A building maintenance company might want to go over access, security, and equipment issues in addition to describing the services offered. Today, your company could possibly be passing up new trends, technology and methods your rivals are using. There are lots of, a number of other techniques to begin a business enterprise. Without a valuable idea it will not expand and so there is no need for an alliance. Your particular company will ascertain the specialized topics and pages you must have in your proposal. There are several different medical-related businesses!
Your template should begin with the fundamentals, the identity of the business you are evaluating, their mission statement and basic nature of their company. To accelerate the proposal writing procedure, you may choose to use pre-designed templates and get ideas from sample proposals. Excellent templates are easy and simple to comprehend which is natural since the notion is to make in simple terms the standing of the business you're evaluating. Layout is attractive in a manner that reflects the organization or project.
The Title Page is only a label page for your precise proposal. Once you have all of the information back on the pages, concentrate on ensuring your proposal is visually appealing. You'll use lots of precisely the same pages in all your proposals since you're describing your organization and your services, but every proposal will be a bit different from the next, since it will be tailored to a certain client and project. You should have familiar with the information which is contained on each individual sheet. For a contractor company, you will also have to incorporate some comprehensive information regarding your services and history that's pertinent to the customer's specific project. The info about your goods and services will interest all of your potential customers.
Since you may see, the contents of a government contract proposal will be different. Each firm's proposal contents have to be a little different. When it is not possible to accomplish this, I'm content with merely 1 branch to look after.

Damian Lillard's Advice For Young Athletes
Most kids can only dream of playing basketball with their favorite player. Our young athlete cover star, Luke Calvin, got to do just that when he hit the court with Damian Lillard in Oakland for our photoshoot. Luke also got to hang out with Damian for a while, asking for advice and soaking up everything he could from one of the game's best point guards.
Luke: Why do you love basketball?
Damian: I love the game of basketball, because it gives me the opportunity to free myself from any problems, anything that's going on in my life outside of the basketball court. When I get out there, the game is the only thing I'm thinking about. It's something I love. It's something I'm passionate about. There's nothing better. I've felt that way since I was a kid. Why do you love the game?
Luke: Because I get to express myself and I can be creative. And it's really fun. How would you describe your game?
Damian: I think the best way to describe my game is fearless. Every game, I'm attacking whoever I'm playing against. I'm going after them. What are your basketball goals?
Luke: I want to be in the NBA and I want to be a 20-time MVP.
Damian: If you're a 20-time MVP, you're going to be the best that ever played. You're trying to be the G.O.A.T. Dream big!
Luke: So what advice do you have for someone who wants to become a pro?
Damian: It's really hard to make it the league, let alone be a 20-time MVP. So, I would say you've got to work extremely hard, and all of the intangibles are really important. Your character, your work ethic, how coachable you are, how much your teammates like you. Make those things your strong points. You have to be great at those things in order to be great on the basketball court.
Luke: What advice do you have for someone who wants to be a leader?
Damian: Put the team before yourself. A true leader has his teammates' best interests in mind. You have to put that in front of what you want for yourself. When you do that, that's how you get guys to follow you – play harder for you. The more you're willing to put the team in front of yourself, the further you'll go.
Luke: What's your favorite basketball shoe?
Damian: My favorite basketball shoe is the Dame 4, because it's mine. What about you?
Luke: These. (points to his Dame 4s)
Damian: The Dame 4s! That's what I'm talking about. What players do you look up to the most?
Luke: You, Michael Jordan, and Kevin Durant.
Damian: That's a good group. So you know I'm a rapper. What should my next song be about?
Luke: Me.
Damian: (laughs) Call it Luke Nasty.
Luke: What's one challenge you have for me?
Damian: I would challenge you to work hard every day. It's easy for people to work hard on Monday and Tuesday, but it's hard to do it every single day. That's what separates average players and the best players. Work harder than everybody else and do the things that other people won't do. Hold yourself more accountable. Do you have any challenges for me?
Luke: I challenge you to get 110 points in a game.
Damian: I almost had 60 last year. I'll see what I can do, man.

Children are now born into a world where typing takes precedence over cursive writing. Unwittingly the centre of this shift is gestural. At some point perhaps it will be artists who refuse to type. In 1922 Captain Cyril Turner of the RAF dropped oil on his aeroplane's exhaust pipe and wrote letters in the sky over Times Square in New York City at approximately 10,000 feet. In the late 1960's artists James Turrell, Sam Francis and Marinus Boezem started to employ skywriting as a medium. As seen in the work of Georgia O'Keefe, Lee Krasner and Joan Mitchell, 20th Century art is characterised most strongly by approaches to the painted gesture. But now in a time where gesture is no longer a daily activity (entering PIN codes in place of signing one's name for example) perhaps the value of this activity is increased. In this century already so dominated by the use of a keyboard to communicate with others, the advocacy in art for the hand remains staunch. Yet the parameters for this type of movement are in a new set of circumstances.
The freedoms of the air are a set of commercial aviation rights granting privilege for countries to enter and land in another's airspace. The sky, a place once of gods, and now freight, is tenuously shared. When we look up we do so as Romantic painters did, as terrified passengers now may, or as children who see figures emerge from brushstrokes. Everyone can see the sky at once but the cloud has been arrested both as a metaphor for data and environmental change. Artists, tourists, delegates and expensive abstract paintings are flown in jets to various locations across the earth in search of admirers. Their messages are written in opportunity, beginning to disperse as vapour before completion. Form is witnessed in the moment of its passing, but in memory it may remain. To fix the movement of bodies on jets or on the dance floor, as in nature morte, is to freeze the reflection. In strokes that are imperfect, those who seek to counter these gaps do so in holding on to something otherwise changed.

Extension of 5 bedroom Arts and Crafts house to create large family room on the ground floor and a master bedroom, with en-suite and walk in wardrobe on the first floor.
This Arts & Crafts detached house is located in conservation area, so the architectural design had to comply with strict planning requirements. Carefully designed detailing (such as use of reclaimed bricks and roof tiles) maintained the character and charm of the building, blending the new extension with the existing building.
Internally, the ground floor was designed as a multi-functional area for relaxing with family and meeting friends. The centrally located fire-bowl provides the main focal point for the room. This sits atop a granite worktop which spans the entire room with custom storage units under. The opposite wall is flanked by a bespoke library to add balance. The first floor houses a luxurious master bedroom with spacious walk-in wardrobe and we-appointed en-suite.
Additional Features: Bespoke Italian cabinetry used throughout with high quality natural finishes such as wood, stone, off-white tones to achieve warm atmosphere.


Most of the time, a car accident victim with trauma to the face will undergo hours of surgery in the operating room, as doctors work to rebuild the damaged area based on their best analysis of how the face might have looked before — usually using a CT scan.
This usually involves bending, cutting and drilling stock titanium bars, plates and mesh under small flaps of skin in an active wound.
In Tennessee, Dr. Jeffrey Brooks, who has more than 20 years of experience and multiple roles at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), has been leading the way with this progressive approach.
Today, he explained, a trauma patient will still have their injury scanned after a comprehensive exam. But now, Brooks and his team will plan the reconstruction digitally and 3D print a life-sized biomodel on an EnvisionTEC Vector 3SP. The machine creates a replica of the patient's bony structure with accuracy to 100 microns.
The EnvisionTEC Vector 3SP also plays a critical role that other printers cannot. Dr. Brooks explained that the fast turnaround time needed in emergency cases wouldn't be possible with the kind of FDM filament 3D printers he started with years ago.

The Yorkshire Dales
ACCOMMODATION | WELCOME
All Creatures Great and Small was a franchised series of popular books by the Yorkshire vet turned author James Herriot.
These stories formed the basis of a popular BBC TV drama series (pictured above) starring Christopher Timothy, Peter Davison, Carol Drinkwater and Robert Hardy which originally aired in the UK from 1978 to 1990. The dales village of Askrigg in Wensleydale. was used as the fictional "Darrowby" of the books, which opening shots for the titles filmed at Langthwaite in Arkengarthdale.
There were also film versions of the books titled "All Creatures Great and Small " starring Simon Ward and "It Shouldn't happen to a Vet " starring John Alderton in 1975 and 1976 respectively.
In 2020 a new TV series (pictured above) was made for UK Channel 5, this time starring Nicholas Ralph, Callum Woodhouse, Rachel Shenton and Samuel West with the village of Grassington being used as Darrowby. The production also featured the late Dame Diana Rigg in what was to be one of her last TV appearances. Her cameo role as Mrs Pumphrey saw her entrusting her pampered pooch "Tricky Woo" to the Herriot veterinary practice, who prescribed a healthier diet for the overweight Pekingese!

Ensco has suffered this year in light of the drop in global offshore drilling activity. Nevertheless, the company has navigated the soft patch well, and is anticipating a turnaround.
Investing in oil drillers is an uncertain proposition right now. Even though demand for energy across the world remains robust, particularly in the emerging markets, there is a near-term rough patch currently hitting the industry. That's because the major oil companies are cutting capital expenditures right now, in light of disappointing returns on new projects. Instead of investing in new rigs, most of the integrated super-majors are choosing to return excess cash to shareholders.
That has resulted in a supply glut, and a slowdown for many oil drillers such as Ensco PLC (NYSE:ESV). Not surprisingly, the stock has followed suit. Shares of Ensco have declined 11% just since the start of the year.
However, it's worth noting that Ensco's underlying fundamentals haven't deteriorated nearly as much as the bearish sentiment would suggest. Nevertheless, here's why Ensco shares are down this year.
Ensco, like many others in the oil drilling industry, is seeing weak demand for some of its rigs. This is causing higher idle times and lower utilization, which is weighing on profitability. For example, last quarter Ensco incurred a huge charge against earnings per share because of this. Specifically, Ensco took a $1.5 billion non-cash impairment charge for eight of its floaters, four of which will now be held for sale.
Ensco's desire to unload its older, underperforming rigs is a continuation of the fleet upgrading strategy that the company has embarked on over the past year. Earlier this year, Ensco offloaded three jack-up rigs that were built in the 1980's. Ensco collected a total of $97 million in proceeds, which will help supplement future investment in its fleet. These moves make sense, since it's wise for oil drillers to sell old rigs while they can still generate a profit.
While the fleet upgrading comes at a cost to earnings now, it's necessary for future growth. The strength of Ensco's fleet is what's keeping the company afloat during the rough patch. Last quarter, revenue and earnings from continuing operations both grew 6%. Going forward, management expects 2% revenue growth on a quarter-over-quarter basis.
Until the market improves, Ensco management is confident in the company's financial standing. At the end of last quarter, Ensco held an $11 billion revenue backlog excluding bonus opportunities. Its balance sheet is strong too, with a long-term debt to equity ratio of 40%.
And, investors are treated to a 6% dividend yield that is well-supported with cash flow. Ensco paid $351 million in dividends over the first half of the year, and generated $357 million in free cash flow. This represents a free cash flow payout ratio of about 98%, or essentially all of the company's free cash flow. While this is still tight and doesn't provide much breathing room, Ensco still brought in more cash flow than it distributed to investors so far this year. Plus, management reiterated its commitment to the $3 per share annualized dividend after providing earnings last quarter.
If this is indeed near the low point of the lull in offshore drilling activity, it's a good sign that Ensco has still put up solid results. Future growth is likely going to be a result of positive developments in new areas. For example, last quarter Ensco signed a 5-year contract with Total for the ENSCO DS-8, which the company states will add $1.2 billion to its backlog.
Ensco, like other oil drillers, is seeing some softness in utilization and day-rates, as a result of weakening industry dynamics. Members of Big Oil are cutting back on new orders for rigs, based on poor returns from recent new projects. This has caused Ensco's share price to suffer since the start of the year. Nevertheless, it's worth remembering that oil prices are near $95 per barrel, and are still supportive of drilling activity.
Before the industry fundamentals recover, investors are still receiving a 6% dividend, which provides solid consolation until the oil drilling sector gets back to growth.

Incorporated, under the singular vision of Mr. Jabir A Cader, a businessman and a visionary, The Alhambra Hotel was opened to the public on the 27th of March 1969. "The Holiday Inn" brand while flourishing held promise to many franchise operations that looked to manage their own hotels rather than offer them up to management.
The Holiday Inn was the second international brand to be introduced to Sri Lanka and was established on the 21st of March 1974. After the passing away of Mr. Cader on the 27th of June 2002, his legacy was carried forward by his children in the form of the Holiday Inn brand that lasted for a successful 35 years.
In 2009, the management of Alhambra Hotels decided to rebrand in conjunction with Wyndham Hotels and in the wake of this new vision, Ramada Colombo was established.

Louisville Native Returns Home to Join U.S. Attorney's Office's Fight Against Violent Crime
Louisville Native Returns Home to Join U.S. Attorney's Office's Fight Against Violent Crime & Drug Trafficking
(STL.News) – United States Attorney Russell Coleman is today announcing his appointment of Frank Dahl as a federal prosecutor in the Louisville, Kentucky-based U.S. Attorney's Office which serves the 53 counties and nearly 2.5 million people of the Western District of Kentucky.
"As we begin Police Week, I can think of few more tangible ways to honor our law enforcement partners than to add a respected and experienced prosecutor of Frank Dahl's caliber to our fight against violent crime and drug trafficking here in Louisville and across the Commonwealth," said U.S. Attorney Russell Coleman. "Frank is well-respected by law men and women from his many years with one of our most important partners, the Jefferson Commonwealth's Attorney's Office. His service as 'a fed' here will only enhance our relationship with that premier office."
"As much as I was sorry to see Frank leave our office in 2018, I am just as happy to see that he has returned to Kentucky," said Jefferson Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Wine. "He has a keen mind and a great grasp of the law which will benefit the US Attorney's Office as well as ours. I look forward to Frank working with our prosecutors as we continue to collaborate with the US Attorney's Office for the [Western District] of Kentucky."
Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Dahl is a Louisville native and a graduate of the University of Louisville and UofL's Brandeis School of Law. While in law school, he worked as a law clerk for the Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office and subsequently served as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney in the office after his graduation. During his 12-year tenure as a state prosecutor in Louisville, Dahl rose quickly through the ranks and became the narcotics section chief. He tried numerous cases involving violent crime, drug trafficking, homicide, and firearms offenses.
In 2018, Dahl began work as an AUSA in Evansville Indiana, working for the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. During his time with that office, he earned a reputation as a prolific case developer and handled a variety of cases involving drug trafficking organizations, violent crime, firearms offenses, and drug overdoses. During his time in Evansville, Dahl worked with both federal and state law enforcement agencies located in Kentucky in support of his work in Indiana.

Macro Photography can be an art in and of itself. Some of the best photos I've seen have been macro photos. Taking macro photos can be challenging if you've never attempted it before. Many times the beginner gets frustrated when they are unable to get their subject fully in focus. Other times the beginner can't seem to take a macro photo that isn't blurry. Then there's the frustration with taking a macro photo that isn't lit properly. Macro photography differs from regular photography in that the subject is usually smaller and requires a lens that is capable of close-up or macro photography, usually at a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio.

St Albans residents kept in dark over new primary school
RESIDENTS living close to the proposed site of the new primary school in St Albans say they are offended by the lack of information that has been made available by Herts County Council.
Kate Morris, who recently retired as a district councillor and is now able to speak freely about the proposal for the school on Hatfield Road, says she and her neighbours on St Peter's Street are very supportive of the school which would be located in the current School of Law.
But there is a shared anger among them about the threadbare information which has been made public and that what has been released seems to be aimed solely at prospective parents.
She said: "The suggestion that it's of no interest to anyone who doesn't have young children is offensive and the county council have really shot themselves in the foot because they could have gathered quite a support team from the people living here but we've not heard a thing."
Kate is also concerned about proposals to destroy the Pemberton building which sits unnoticed behind the Law School's functional fa�ade. In a picture (above) taken from the top of St Peter's Church tower the building, built around 1880, can be clearly seen nestled behind the more modern School of Law on the left, which the former Marshalswick South ward councillor described as a "carbuncle".
Kate added: "It's such a shame to propose keeping that at the expense of the old school. A number of us in the adjacent listed buildings did put this across to the school place planners, architects and head teacher designate at the open evening.
"As I suspected, they had given no thought to the heritage aspects of the proposal, but were concerned only with the need for hard play space for the prospective two-form entry school – ultimately 400 children crammed into what has for the last 50 years been a car park."
Reiterating the residents' support for the school, Kate underlined the need for consultation and said it was not their intention to see the site sit vacant after the Law School move out in July but that it would take a lot of "good will" to get there.
A locally listed building in the conservation area, the former board school is considered by many in the vicinity to be an important part of the city centre's character.
A spokesperson for the county council said: "There is clear demand from parents for additional primary school places in the centre of St Albans and the county council welcomes and supports proposals for a new free school at the Hatfield Road site.
"We have exchanged contracts with the University of Hertfordshire and will take ownership once the School of Law vacates the site in July.
"We will seek the relevant consent for changes to the site at the relevant time. The free school's plan for the site does involve the demolition of the Pemberton building, which is not a listed building but it is in a conservation area.
"The public will be consulted by the planning authority once the appropriate applications have been made.
"The proposers of the free school are required to consult with the public about the need for a new school and the opening evening last Tuesday was the first stage of this process."

In this video, you will learn to discuss the various types of security services and the technical implementation of security policies. Look at some security services in terms of security or just jump into the definition of security services. By the way, this security services and this attack classifications come from a great textbook called Network Security Essentials, Application and Standards written by William Stallings. Considered to be one of the classic books in security repertoires. So certainly would think that a sufficiently advanced security professional would have this textbook on their shelf. So when we talk about security services right? So a service is a processing or communication service that's provided by a system. This would be the enterprise, the IT infrastructure. It's designed to give a specific kind of protection to a system resource. Security services are technical implementation of security policies. We've talked about access control in an earlier module, with that and the security services that implement the security policies are implemented by the security mechanisms. So in this context, the security mechanisms are the security enforcement points that we talked about in Module 1. The security service, enhancing the security of data processing systems and information transfers of an organization. So there's some nuances here right? So we're going to improve using security services. The business process of the enterprise, and we're going to protect the movement of information of an organization. So that means internal movement, database to server means external movement for example to a business partner. Purpose of security infrastructure is to provide defensive mechanisms against a security attack. So obviously security services are designed to enhance our ability to counter the security attacks that are presented against the enterprise. Security services can engage and it's a one-to-many relationship between a service and a security enforcement point. This makes sense that an implementation of a technical policy can engage more than one element of a security enforcement. So often replicates capabilities in the real world. So we think about how information moves securely. We've got signatures and dates, protection from disclosure, that's why we put things in an envelope. We make sure they're not going to be destructed or destroyed or modified. We can provide authenticity through notorization or witnesses signatures plus the non-repudiation part of that can be accomplished from notorization or licensing. Takes a look at a couple of definitions and these pull out one from ITU, the International Telecommunications Union. That's the United Nations governing body for standards worldwide. X.800. A service provided by a protocol layer of communicating open systems which ensures that adequate security of the systems or of data transfers. So this means we think about the OSI protocol stack, runs from applications to presentation sessions through network transfer protocols down to the physical part of that. That these layers, right, communicate with similar layers that's the communicating to open systems right, in another enterprise or another part of the enterprise and protects the information of both the receiver, the transmitter, and the communication transcripts inside that. Now, legalese right, this request for comment 2828 another standard document that's maintained by the ITU or processing or communication service provided by assistant to give a specific kind of protection to system resources, more clear to be sure. So once again the 2828 a little more clear, right. Talks about implementing the services that are implemented by security enforcement point those of a specific kinds of protections and the implementation of the security policies. So let's dive into some definitions of some specific security services that's found in the X.800 document. Now remember, we had talked about this a little bit earlier that X.800 is an artifact of the ITU, the International telecommunications Union. Which is not a worker's right, it is an associations chartered and staffed by the United Nations to provide international standards for computer and network communications, fairly solid document. So Stallings talks about five security service categories, and the 14th specific services that are in there. So highlighted with these six elements right here. There's classic security services which we'll traditionally discussed. You notice that these things are written at a very high level, I'd like to think about them written at the level of the US constitution subject to legal interpretation. So the top one right, is authentications is concerned with ensuring that a communication is authentic. In fact, it's correct from Alice to Bob and that it is measurable, right? There's some version of this called peer entity authentication which provides corroboration of the identity rather of appear in an association. So that means Bob and Alice can authenticate each other. So Alice sends a message to Bob, and along with that goes, "Hi Bob, I'm Alice," and Bob can read the message and say, "Yes, in fact you are Alice," that is pure entity authentication. Data origin right, is a collaboration of the source of the data. So that Bob can actually look at the message and say, "Yeah, so Alice actually sent that." So we can authenticate Alice and authenticate that the message had come from Alice. You can see those two powerful points of the authentication side. So access control moving down the list right, is the ability to limit and control access to host systems and applications via communication. So this means in our contacts right, computer networks not front doors to houses in such, that the correct individuals or are identified. They are authenticated right, their identification assertions are validated and then they're authorized. So the three steps for access control, "Hi I'm John." Yes, you are John, identification. Authentication is the affirmation of identification and then the authorization is, and you are approved John to do the following three things. So that is a role-based access control model. There's volumes of content that's on the Internet and within IBM about how to implement an arm back or role-based access control system. So the third element, data confidentiality ensures that the messages are received as sent with no duplication, insertion, modification, reordering, replay or loss. So the loss part of that right, is that the message is not destroyed. Reordering right, so then if the messages are describing a sequence of events that they are common in the correct sequence. There'd be a lot of disruption if those in fact are changed and that modification side that the payload of the message is changed. This is the example of let's not meet at 1.00 PM for lunch but let's meet at 11.30. Insertion. No new modifications and duplication that we're not sending duplicate messages to confuse Alice or Bob. So the non-repudiation phase of this right, is that both Alice and Bob in a message transaction can't deny that the transaction occurred. We've talked about this a little earlier about message transmission. Alice sends Bob a message. Alice can prove that Alice sent the message and Bob received it. Bob can prove that Alice sent the message and he received it. So there's no ambiguity error of not being able to authenticate a transaction. It's extremely important within financial services or for banking and for insurance that we need to be able to remove any capability of saying I didn't do that right? So identification, authentication, confidentiality all of that simply with that. We talked about availability a little bit earlier on this, that the resources accessible and usable. So we talked about the availability right, that the capability or the service capability being provided by the enterprise is available that it's there. That it responds in a timely manner. Because if you can think that if you put a response in and you've got a response back the next day, that's not timely at all. So that is part of the availability part of that.

To reduce this threat, start with strong authentication for the use of any privileged capabilities. Implement multiparty controls over these capabilities. Improve accountability by ensuring privilege is available to only one user at a time, only when needed. Keep a record of all grants and uses of privilege.
Q: You clearly have strong opinions about how to secure our computer systems and networks. You place a great deal of weight on past security practices. Are these not obsolete? Don't we need the results of modern security research more than ever?
A: I plead guilty to having strong opinions and I beg for tolerance. I would like to defend my respect for past practices. Believe it or not, designers of operating systems have made security and protection a high priority since the 1960s. Their research and experience with real systems proves that many of the methods they discovered work. It astounds me that we would downplay those older successes in favor of unproven research.
What has changed over those years is not the need for security, but the risks and costs of insecurity. It should be clear to a casual reader of the news, let alone those with access to intelligence sources, that what we are doing is not working. It is both costly and dangerous.
While these recommendations may represent a change in the way we are doing things, we know they work. There is little new in them. Most of these ideas are as old as computing and some we inherited from more primitive information technology. Most of the resistance to using these practices comes from loss of convenience. Good security is not convenient. But it is absolutely necessary for the security of our assets and the reliability of the many critical systems on which we all depend. We need not suffer from the scourge of systems that so easily succumb to invaders.

It is ironic that one can get a so-called "computer science" degree without even being aware of alternatives to the von Neumann architecture.
Q: There have been many attempts at intrusion detection in operating systems. Is it possible to identify that someone appearing to be an authorized user is actually someone else?
A: There are recognizable differences in the behavior of authorized users and impersonators. The simple measure of identifying repeated failed attempts to do something can reveal intruders. More complex measures exploiting advances in artificial intelligence can detect more subtle differences. We must tune these measures to balance false positives against the failure to detect. We must also ensure the alarms and alerts get to the responsible managers, usually the manager of the user and the owner of the asset, who are in a position to recognize the need for, and have the authority and resources, to take any indicated corrective action.
Q: When OSs started to span networks,
traffic analysis of packets became an
ingredient of a signature of computer
use. Is this a valuable approach today?
A: It's tough but not hopeless. While we may never be sure that all nodes in the public networks properly identify themselves, cryptography can improve the trust that we have as to the source of traffic. While we may never solve the problem of compromised systems being used as " cutouts" to hide the identity and location of the sources of attack traffic, by storing more meta data about the sources and destination of traffic, we can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of forensics.
Q: Another common attack method is phishing: email or voicemail messages that appear legitimate and entice you into revealing your personal information. Are there any practical ways to defend against phishing.
A: Courtney's Third Law taught us "there are management solutions to technical problems but there are no technical solutions to management problems." Substitute "human" for "management" and the statement remains true.
Masquerading and fraud attacks appeal to the Seven Deadly Sins and to gullibility, fear, curiosity, and even the mere desire to be helpful. Fraud and deceit—what the roque hackers call "social engineering"—are as old as language. They have exploited every communication medium ever used.
However, in the modern world, these appeals are mostly used to get us to compromise our credentials or the integrity of our systems. We can caution and train our users but experience suggests the best of these efforts will not be sufficient. We must also use the measures recommended here to limit the consequences of the inevitable errors.
Q: What about insider attacks?
A: Threats have both source and rate. Insiders have a low rate but high consequences. Outsiders may damage the brand but insiders may bring down the business.
There are risks with privileged users and escalation of privileges. Edward Snowden was able to expand his privileges in an organization with " security" in its name. He did this over an extended period of time without being detected.
Pervasively we have too many over privileged users, with too little accountability. Indeed privileged users are among the most likely to share IDs and passwords. There is no accountability if something goes wrong. Often the privileges are so great and accountability so poor that the privileges, once granted, cannot be reliably withdrawn.
Outsiders may
damage the brand but
insiders may bring
down the business.

Q: Task not serializable at Spark I have a transformation as like that:
JavaRDD<Tuple2<String, Long>> mappedRdd = myRDD.values().map(
    new Function<Pageview, Tuple2<String, Long>>() {
      @Override
      public Tuple2<String, Long> call(Pageview pageview) throws Exception {
        String key = pageview.getUrl().toString();
        Long value = getDay(pageview.getTimestamp());
        return new Tuple2<>(key, value);
      }
    });

Pageview is a type of: Pageview.java
and I register that class into Spark as like that:
Class[] c = new Class[1];
c[0] = Pageview.class;
sparkConf.registerKryoClasses(c);

When I debug the code I see that JavaSerializer.scala is called even there is a class named KryoSerializer.
PS 1: I don't wanna use Java Serializer but implementing Serializer at Pageview does not solve the problem.
PS 2: This does not throw away the problem:
...
//String key = pageview.getUrl().toString();
//Long value = getDay(pageview.getTimestamp());
String key = "Dummy";
Long value = 1L;
return new Tuple2<>(key, value);
...

A: I've run into this issue multiple times with Java code. Although I was using Java serialization, I would make the class that contains that code Serializable or if you don't want to do that I would make the Function a static member of the class.
Here is a code snippet of a solution.
public class Test {
   private static Function s = new Function<Pageview, Tuple2<String, Long>>() {

     @Override
     public Tuple2<String, Long> call(Pageview pageview) throws Exception {
       String key = pageview.getUrl().toString();
       Long value = getDay(pageview.getTimestamp());
       return new Tuple2<>(key, value);
      }
  };
}

Third India NZ Test on as scheduled MPCA secretary
INDORE: Amidst uncertainty over the third Test between India and New Zealand, Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) secretary Milind Kanmadikar on Wednesday said the match is on as they are yet to receive any official word from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The third and final Test is scheduled to be hosted at the Holkar stadium here from October 8 and the hosts MPCA has decided to go ahead with their preparations.
"The match is on. We have made all the arrangements for it. The national cricket board has not given any direction for the cancellation of the match," Kanmadikar told IANS.
Earlier, the BCCI had threatened to call off the ongoing series after claiming that their bank accounts were frozen by the Supreme Court-appointed R.M. Lodha panel.

New York Mayor Rules Out Cancelling Caribbean J'ouvert
in Arts & Entertainment September 7, 2016	0
By Nelson A. King
CMC New York Correspondent
NEW YORK CITY, New York September 7, 2016 (CMC) – New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio, has ruled out cancelling J'ouvert activities in the Caribbean community here, saying that it is an event that's "important to the community".
But, he said, one day after the grand West Indian American Day Carnival on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn ended, that the city would consider changing the hours of the pre-dawn event.
"I think it was very clear, yesterday, that we were not including the option of ending something which has gone on for decades and decades," de Blasio told reporters at a news conference with police officials. "We have to find a way to make it safer."
Police said four people were shot, two of them fatally, during J'ouvert.
The two killed were Trinidadian Tyreke Borel, 17, who was shot in the chest, and Tiarah Poyau, 22, who was shot in the face.
"All the right things were done in advance, including targeting gangs and getting additional guns off the street, but we have more to do," de Blasio said, noting "even with the right steps being taken, there's more we have to do.
"We have to find new ways and additional ways to address this situation."
De Blasio noted that the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Puerto Rican Day Parade in Manhattan and the West Indian American Day Carnival Parade in Brooklyn have all managed to clamp down on violence at their respective events.
"And each one of them was brought under control. We'll do the same here with J'ouvert."
Last year, Carey W. Gabay, the Jamaica-born legal aide to New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, was fatally shot when the police said he was caught in crossfire between rival gangs during J'ouvert.
On Tuesday, Walter T. Mosley, a New York State Assemblyman in Brooklyn, called for suspension of J'ouvert in the Caribbean community in Brooklyn.
"This celebration of cultural heritage, on a day fought so hard for by our brothers and sisters in the labour movement, has unfortunately become synonymous with gun violence," he wrote on his Facebook page.
"And until we, as a community, can collectively come together to address the root cause of these violent acts I cannot lend my support to it going forward."
But Grenadian-American New York City Councilman, Jumaane D. Williams, who represents the 45th Council District in Brooklyn, dismissed calls for the end to J'ouvert.
"I don't want people to have the false impression that you got rid of J'ouvert, and now there's no more gun violence in the city of New York," he said.
Williams blamed "chronic violence, the chronic problem in our community" for Monday's J'ouvert shootings.
"I'm sure people are not paying attention on days when there's no J'ouvert. The problem is not the celebration. Let's deal with that and let Black people have a right to celebrate."
Meantime, police said they have arrested Reginald Moise, 20, in the killing of Poyau. A fifth man charged in Gabay's murder has been extradited to Brooklyn.

The rather unclear DAC definition of concessionality has created intense debate among DAC members and beyond. The 10% discount rate is not grounded on a sound definition, and the concessionality in character criterion, namely that interest rates on loans should be "below the prevailing market rate", is also unclear. We advocate here for assessing concessionality through risk-adjusted discount rates. Such rates could easily be computed through risk and cost-of-funding proxies. For the sake of simplicity and clarity, as well as practicability considerations, we propose here to set only three distinct discount rates, relying on market and academic data on risk spreads. With such discount rates, one would be able to assess the concessionality of long-term financial instruments such as loans and guarantees. Every instrument found to be priced below private sector terms, proxied by risk-adjusted discount rates, should be considered as concessional. The corresponding grant element would then reflect the donor effort. In doing so, the DAC would restore incentives to operate more with least developed countries (LDCs) and other lower income countries (LICs), and contribute to address the massive long-term capital shortfalls these economies are facing. Based on empirical data, we found that only 10% of committed long-term concessional finance since 2006 was in favor of LDCs and LICs, while upper middle-income countries (UMICs) received nearly 30% of total committed amount. However, loans towards LDCs and LICs are found to be highly-concessional, with an average grant element of nearly 80%, interest rate of less than 1% for average maturities beyond 30 years. Risk-adjusted discount rates and appropriate safeguards (IMF/WB debt sustainability framework as well as concessionality thresholds) would change donor incentives, while better reflecting the operational framework and cost incurred to a greater exposure to LDCs and LICs (use of public money for provisioning uncovered risks, unhedged exposures, regulatory requirements and more broadly "advisory work" to secure enabling conditions for development results).

I tried using the adapter from the Toshiba Hard drive on another hard drive seagate 2tb and a samsung 500gb and neither showed up on the computer it made the sound that it was connected and it even showed in the device manager that they were connected but it never showed on the computer. Does the hard drive have to be a specific rpm? and another thing the driver for the seagate is not working right but with the toshiba adapter it showed that it was working properly.
My DWC120 2TB died after one weeks usage, the supplier admitted that it was a troubled design with lots of returns.
I had important stuff on it though and so I asked Toshiba if there were any possibility to open it up in an orderly way, save the data, put it together again and return it on that three year guarantee, but as written before, this is a closed for good item. So I used a Japanese handsaw and cut it open just 6-7 mm up from the bottom where the socket ends, and it went very well : nothing save the case walls with their clips and also the devilish clips on the hard drives cradle inside were cut. The bottom came of clean as the hard drive and electronics were attached to the top part of the case. I guess it could be put together again nicely, especially if you sandpaper the top and bottom really smooth and flat, but as my usb interface was fried, I put it in another usb case instead.
Robert, was the drives spinning? Are they brand new unformatted drives? If they show up in device manager, but not in Windows Explorer, then I suspect they are just not formatted. The final indicator is Disk Management. If they are working, they will show up in Disk Management for you to initialize and format.
Raven, if you do decide to put the case back together, maybe you and device some external fasteners so that you can split the case again in the future.
Hello. I have the same Toshiba Canvio USB3 unit.
I have a problem: if I connect the drive to the PC and then I turn on the PC, the drive partition cannot be see by the OS.
If I unplug / replug it everything works fine.
I use it on a Linux PC server with USB2.0 interface: I have used many external usb drives but I never experienced this problem.
Tried OLD 2.6 / 3.8 / 3.10 kernels, no luck. Is a fault of the interface?
What do you think? Do you have experienced this issue?
Thanks for this info - I recently has a 3TB Canvio fail, and extracted the DT01ABA300 disc (or "Hitachi HDS5C3030BLE630" in the SMART data) which is still working. The USB interface must have failed.
To get at the old backups on it, I directly connected it as a SATA disc on a Linux system, and figured out how to successfully mount it as an NTFS filesystem, and read the data. As the way to do this is a bit subtle, thought it worth recording here.
Connected directly, the drive offers 512 byte sectors to Linux, rather than the remapped 4k sectors via the USB interface. Because of this, the MBR no longer correctly describes the location and size of the NTFS filesystem, so NTFS cannot be mounted in a straightforward way. The MBR says the NTFS filesystem starts at sector 256, and with the USB 4k sectors, that is 1MiB into the disc. However with the directly connected 512 byte sectors Linux understands this to start at 128KiB (256 * 512), so the filesystem makes no sense.
I will use this to copy the data to a new disc. I can see no reason why read-write access would not work (leave out -r option on both commands), but I am playing safe and only reading it.
Hope this is of use to anyone similarly recovering data.
Rwendland, thank you for those instructions. That's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm not needing them yet, since the drive was just bought, but I wanted to make sure that there will be a possibility to salvage the data if the enclosure fails at some point.
Excerpt: Couldn't you use Windows Disk Management to re-partition the drive? Like delete its existing partitions and then creating a new partition? It sounds like you took the drive out of the enclosure. In some cases, the USB adapter remaps the sectors. There is a thread talking about it here: Toshiba Ca . . .
