Lords: 2 March 2020
European Arrest Warrant, Europol and Eurojust
Volume 802: debated on Monday 2 March 2020
Private Notice Question
Lord Paddick
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the impact of the UK withdrawing from participation in the European Arrest Warrant, membership of Europol and membership of Eurojust.
The Minister of State, Home Office
(Baroness Williams of Trafford) (Con)
My Lords, the UK stands ready to discuss an agreement on law enforcement and judicial co-operation in criminal matters. An agreement in this area should support data exchange for law enforcement, operational co-operation between law enforcement authorities and judicial co-operation in criminal matters. This agreement should equip operational partners on both sides with capabilities that help protect citizens and bring criminals to justice, promoting the security of all our citizens.
My Lords, the Minister has not even attempted to answer the Question. Not being a member of Europol or Eurojust relegates the UK to observer status, rather than driving and directing pan-European law enforcement operations and intelligence sharing. The Government say that they want a similar agreement to that reached by Norway and Iceland to replace the European arrest warrant, but that agreement took 13 years to negotiate and implement and does not allow extradition of an EU member state's own nationals. Is it not inevitable that the UK will be less safe and less secure if we withdraw from these arrangements?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The first thing to say is that the Norway-Iceland agreement might have taken 13 years but the initial agreement took very little time at all; it was the commencement that seemed to take so long. It did not take very long to get agreement on this. The agreement we are negotiating should provide for co-operation between the UK and Europol and Eurojust to facilitate multilateral law enforcement and criminal justice co-operation. The agreement with Europol should go beyond existing precedent, given the scale and nature of co-operation between the UK and Europol. For example, the UK was the highest contributor of data to Europol for strategic, thematic and operational analysis in 2018.
(Lab Co-op)
My Lords, will the Minister set out for the House who she believes are the beneficiaries of this decision other than criminals seeking to evade justice? How will she ensure that fugitives in Europe will not just laugh at us for failing to bring them to justice?
My Lords, the beneficiaries of this should be the people of the UK. It seeks to replicate many of the operational capabilities in the European arrest warrant, while containing safeguards.
Lord Robathan
My Lords, is it not the case that not all European arrest warrants are the same? A European arrest warrant from France or Germany, with whom we share the same respect for the rule of law, is one thing, but a European arrest warrant from one or two other countries—here I particularly mention Romania—is not the same because often political interference has taken place in the judicial system.
My noble friend makes a very good point about political interference. In fact, that is one of the safeguards within what we are seeking. He is right to make the point that not all EU states are the same.
Lord Morris of Aberavon
My Lords, will the situation after withdrawal be as effective as it is at present?
I would hope it will be enhanced.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
My Lords, this seems the most bizarre decision. Perhaps the Minister can tell me whether it is that the Prime Minister's hard-right colleagues in the Cabinet do not like anything with the word "Euro" in it.
Not that I have heard. The agreement we are negotiating should provide for co-operation. But we will have left the EU.
Lord Cormack
My noble friend talks about political interference. This, to many of us, smacks of political interference: fixing something that is not broken. Time and again in the last two or three years, Ministers on the Front Bench have indicated the value of these arrangements. Why are we walking away from them?
My Lords, there are areas in which we will attempt to have very similar arrangements to those we have now with the EU. As I said, this will be very similar operationally to the EAW, but with enhanced safeguards.
Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames
My Lords, further to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Cormack, how is it that we have come to this pass when, time and again, before our departure from the EU, we were promised from those on the Front Bench that we would work towards replicating the arrangements for the European arrest warrant, Europol and Eurojust? We now appear to be negotiating something inferior and different.
My Lords, I would not say it is inferior, but I agree that it is different. The Norway-Iceland arrangements seem to work perfectly well with those enhanced safeguards.
Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall
My Lords, back when we were discussing the European withdrawal agreement six months ago, it was frequently said that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. Can the noble Baroness confirm that the same rules apply as we go forward towards the new agreement that we are now negotiating? If we do not manage to agree everything, what position will we be left in with respect to these aspects of criminal justice?
We obviously want an agreement across all areas of law enforcement co-operation—I cannot hypothecate what the noble Baroness says—because we want to keep our citizens safe.
Lord Watts
My Lords, how will the Government extradite criminals from Germany given that, constitutionally, they are not allowed to do so unless it is within the European Union?
My Lords, arrangements will have to be in place that allow the system or the arrangements to take part in that country.
Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top
My Lords, I wonder whether the Minister remembers what the head of the Police Service of Northern Ireland said about the loss of the European arrest warrant. It was one of his highest concerns about Brexit. How much was he consulted in this decision and how much has the relationship between the north of Ireland and Ireland been considered in this decision?
As the noble Baroness will know, and as I have said on several occasions, we have engaged with the devolved authorities on all things, particularly in the area of law enforcement.
Lord Dubs
My Lords, is it not the case that the European arrest warrant has one enormous advantage among many in that countries that do not normally extradite their people, do so under the EAW? What assurance have we that, in future, this will hold good? Many signals have come from European countries saying that they will not do so in the future. Does that not make us as a country weaker and more vulnerable to criminality?
I think it would mean that those states will try in their own countries—I have talked about the enhanced safeguards—but I do not think that will make this country less safe.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock
My Lords, is this one of the areas in which the Permanent Secretary advised the Secretary of State of the dangers of going ahead, and which the Secretary of State paid no attention to and shouted?
My Lords, one thing I cannot comment on is private conversations between Secretaries of State and their officials—
I cannot. The noble Lord will know that.
Lord Campbell of Pittenweem
Given the continued controversy with regard to the treaty on extradition between the United Kingdom and the United States, and that the bars in each country are different—"reasonable suspicion" in Britain and "probable cause" in the United States—which of these standards will Her Majesty's Government insist upon when they enter any new extradition treaties?
The noble Lord asks a question which I do not think I can answer in terms of the level, but I can get back to him. I would be making it up if I were to give an answer.
The Earl of Erroll
My Lords, one of the problems of the European arrest warrant was that, if there was a crime in the country that was trying to extradite but not in the country that the person was being demanded from, we used to have difficulty. I seem to remember there being an issue over xenophobia in one of the European countries and there was also a problem with plane spotters who took photographs of airplanes. Presumably, these issues will disappear under the new negotiations.
This will come under what we call "dual criminality". If the issue at hand was not a crime in this country, it would not be applicable. We would add some of those more difficult cases where the crime was not a crime in our country.

Eddie Neff needs space. Not the type that country stars croon about, but physical distance from her emotionally distant father and the tatters of a broken relationship. So when the opportunity to relocate her life and interior design business arises, the answer comes easily. Adjusting to life with Claire, her gregarious new roommate, is more than simply testing comfort limits. With just one meeting, Eddie finds herself unable to resist the draw of Harris Grant, Claire's brooding and overprotective older brother. Harris doesn't fit her idea of a safe relationship. He pushes Eddie to face her deepest insecurities and fears of abandonment. And Harris holds on to his own painful loss, unable to overcome personal demons. Eddie and Harris must learn to conquer their internal struggles. But as they navigate their new love, outside forces fight to drive them apart. Author note: In Pursuit is the first book in a two book series. Intended for 18+ readers.

2016/24 Claimant required to show the 'reason why' the underlying reason behind a practice was indirectly discriminatory (UK)
Keywords Race discrimination, Discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief, Indirect discrimination, Underlying reason for PCP
Authors Anna Bond
Anna Bond
Anna Bond is an associate at Lewis Silkin LLP: www.lewissilkin.com.
The Court of Appeal ('CoA') has held that there was no indirect discrimination where the underlying reason behind a 'provision, criterion or practice' ('PCP') operated by an employer was not discriminatory. The claim of indirect discrimination was brought by Mr Naeem, who is employed by the Prison Service as a full-time imam at HMP Bullingdon. Until 2002, the Prison Service employed only Christian chaplains full-time due to a lack of demand for chaplains of other faiths (who were employed on a sessional basis only). From 2002, it started to hire full-time Muslim as well as Christian chaplains due to an increase in the number of Muslim prisoners.
The prison system's pay scale rewards length of service and pay rises are linked to both performance and length of full-time service. Mr Naeem argued that this had a disproportionate negative effect on Muslims, as they could not have been employed for as long as Christians. The CoA rejected this claim, based on the fact that the underlying reason for the difference was the lack of demand for Muslim chaplains before 2002, and that this was not discriminatory.
This case follows the 2015 CoA case of Essop v Home Office [2015] EWCA Civ 609, which was the first case to add in this extra layer to the indirect discrimination test. According to these cases, a claimant must now show not only that a particular practice particularly disadvantaged them, but also why this is the case. In both cases, appeals have been made to the Supreme Court and these are expected to be heard together later this year.

Male twisted-wing parasite of the species Xenos vesparum
© Dr. Hans Pohl, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena
Enigma of Twisted-Wing Parasites resolved
Scientists prove that these parasitic insects are related to beetles
Scientists have long been mystified by the insect group called twisted-wing parasite. It includes over 500 species and although it has been known for almost 200 years, till now it could not be linked to any super-ordinate group of insects. A team of scientists that worked under the direction of Prof. Bernhard Misof and Dr. Oliver Niehuis from the Koenig Museum in Bonn, and the team of Prof. Erich Bornberg-Bauer from the Institute of Evolution and Biodiversity of Münster University have, for the first time ever, sequenced the entire genetic code – the genome – of a twisted-wing parasite, thus enabling the scientists to classify these insects as a sister group of the beetle. The findings of their research have been published in the online edition of the journal "Current Biology".
"Entomologists are somewhat accustomed to the peculiar appearance and behaviour of their research subjects. Twisted-wing parasites, however, have particularly unusual characteristics. Therefore, some researchers have jokingly referred to them as 'insects from outer space' because they were not able to assign them to a concrete position in the evolutionary tree," Erich Bornberg-Bauer explains. The twisted-wing parasites – scientifically known as Strepsiptera – are usually no larger than a few millimetres. While the adult male has wings, the female has not. These insects spend at least part of their lives as parasites in the bodies of other insects, such as wasps or silverfish. The females of most sub-species even spend their whole life in the bodies of their hosts. Adult males only live a few hours which they exclusively dedicate to finding a female to mate.
Up until now scientists could not agree on whether the Strepsiptera are closely related to beetles or to flies – or neither of these groups. Strepsiptera undergo a gradual development from larva to adult insect. After a number of larval stages they pupate. The adult insect then emerges from the chrysalis. This so-called holometabolous development can also be found for example in butterflies, beetles and flies. Twisted-wing parasites, however, display a few additional features of another type of development – the hemimetabolous development in which no pupal stage exists. This is why some scientists believed Strepsiptera to be the missing link between these two groups of insects.
By comparing the Strepsiptera genome with eleven already known insect genomes together with newly analysed genetic material of the beetle, the research team has now disclosed that the Strepsiptera are a sister group of the beetle – both groups share one common ancestor. This shows that Strepsiptera are not the missing link between hemimetabolous and holometabolous insects. The characteristics of Strepsiptera and the holometabolous insects rather developed independently from each other. The Strepsiptera have reactivated a developmental cycle that also takes effect in hemimetabolous insects. According to the scientists, the holometabolous developmental cycle is therefore not necessarily as rigid as was once assumed. Bernard Misof stresses that, with this discovery, one of the last enigmas of the genealogical tree of the insects – the largest and most diverse group of animals – has been resolved.

Revelation Announces Q4 Road Shows; and OpenInsight 9.1
Revelation Software is planning several road shows for the last quarter of 2009 and is soliciting input from users about where to host the events. Possible cities include: Boston, Mass.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Chicago, Ill.; Houston, Tex.; London, United Kingdom; Nashville, Tenn.; Seattle, Wash.; Sydney, Australia; Tampa, Fla.; Westwood, N.J.; and Vancouver, Canada. Votes for cities can be cast at the Revelation website. City selections will be announced this month.
And, in product news, Revelation will be releasing OpenInsight 9.1 on Sept. 1. It was released in beta as 9.0.1 earlier this year. However, Robert Catalano, director of sales at Revelation, tells DBTA that because so many changes were included in the product, Revelation has decided to rename it 9.1 in recognition of the fact that it is much more than a point release with just bug fixes.
Among new capabilities offered in OpenInsight 9.1 are the ability to send a fax from OpenInsight using the standard Windows Fax Server (included in XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008)-the new function is RTI_SENDFAX; the ability to send an email using SSL-the new function is RTI_CDOMAIL; and the ability to create macros for use with the CTO_CHILD_FORM and CTO_STANDALONE_FORM-ten macros can be defined for each user within an application.
For more details on new functionality in 9.1, go here.

Millward
ЗНАЧЕНИЕ: This interesting surname is of English origin. It is recorded in various spellings including Milward, Millward, Millard, Millyard and Mellard, and is an occupational name for someone in charge of a mill. The derivation is from the pre 7th Century 'mylen' meaning a mill, and 'weard', the keeper of. In Southern England and the West Midlands Millard this was the normal medieval term for a miller. The surname dates back to the late 13th Century, (see below). Further recordings include Cecilia le Mulvard in the register of Early London Personal Names in 1286 and Richard Meleward in the Subsidy Tax Rolls of Sussex in 1296. Early church recordings include William Milward who married Elizabeth Peters on April 28th 1572, at St. Lawrence Poutney, and Richard Millward, who married Margerie Heames on March 24th 1600 at St. Martin Orgar, bothin the city of London. Edward Milward (1712 - 1757) was an important physician who wrote a treatise on gangrene. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John le Milleward. This was dated 1279, in the Hundred Rolls of Huntingdonshire, during the reign of King Edward 1st known as 'The Hammer of the Scots', 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was sometimes known as the Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

4 Ways to Build Sunscreen Into Your Beauty Routine
Start by finding your dream SPF, commit to some easy application and skin-check habits, then enjoy the sun safely—at long last.
By Parents Editors
There are now sunscreen picks for every skin tone, type, and preference. Photo: Anna Wolf
It happens all the time: You pack the bags, fill the sippy cups, smear the kids with sunscreen, and then think, "Meh. I'll do myself later." Let's make this the year that finally changes. Start by finding your dream SPF, commit to some easy application and skin-check habits, then enjoy the sun safely—at long last.
Step One: Put Your Sunscreen Routine on Automatic
Imagine there was a miracle product proven to prevent wrinkles, brown spots, and sagging over time. Surprise: There is. All you have to do is find a brand (or two) you like and use it on the daily.
Jeffrey Westbrook
First, try a Tinder approach.
"You can't swipe right on just any sunscreen," says Mona Gohara, M.D., a dermatologist in Hamden, Connecticut. "Be realistic about what you'll actually wear and what could be a long-lasting relationship." To wit: If you traditionally hate blending on a mineral sunscreen, pick a chemical-based one instead. (A) Elta MD Skincare UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 has a mix of chemical and physical ingredients and really does go on clear. If you wear makeup, consider a tinted C moisturizer with SPF, such as (B) First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30. If you love a little face powder, think about a powder SPF. Find what works so you'll stick with it.
Tinted SPF is an a.m. routine in one step. Jeffrey Westbrook
Keep it at the ready.
"I have sunscreen lotions and sticks in every bag, as well as in the bathroom, the kitchen, the backyard, and by the front and back doors," says Rosemarie Ingleton, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. "When SPF is right in front of me, I'm less likely to forget to put it on." If it's easiest to have one formula for the whole family, go for it. Try (C) Aveeno Kids Continuous Protection Sunscreen Lotion With Broad Spectrum SPF 50.
Apply sunscreen naked.
On days that entail a hike, the pool, or other outdoor adventures, put your sunscreen on before getting dressed. Doing so guarantees you're covered before the morning rush. "Clothing and bathing suits tend to shift around, and you don't want to get burned on those unexpectedly uncovered areas," says Amy Wechsler, M.D., a dermatologist and psychiatrist in New York City. You can skip body lotion and instead try: (D) Coppertone Glow Spray SPF 30, which contains a hint of shimmer, or quick-to-absorb (E) La Roche-Posay Anthelios 30 Cooling Water-Lotion SPF 30. "Put it everywhere, including ears, feet, hairline, and the back of your neck," Dr. Wechsler says.
Dress in sunblock.
Look for UV-protective clothing, swimsuits, and exercise gear with builtin UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) of 50+ because it blocks 98 percent of UVA and UVB rays. Check out (F) Mott50 Coco Crew Neck Rash Guard. "When I'm wearing a UPF cover-up or shirt, I don't need to wear sunscreen underneath it. How easy is that?" Dr. Wechsler says. The caveat: UPF usually lasts one summer because the UPF in the fibers wears off over time in the wash. You can add Rit Sun Guard Laundry Aid UV Protectant to a load of laundry to turn any clothing item into UPF 30.
UPF can be cool. Courtesy of Mott50
Layer different formulas throughout the day.
"I never leave the house without sunscreen on, and that's not just about skin cancer; it's about keeping my skin looking youthful," says Dr. Gohara. She uses (G) Melē Dew the Most Sheer Moisturizer SPF 30, which she says blends easily into her medium-brown skin. "I apply it to my face and neck in the morning, and then I touch up during the day with an SPF powder." We like the translucent (H) Tarte Sea Set & Protect Mineral Sunscreen Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 30. For full-on outdoor days, Dr. Gohara reapplies with an SPF stick and spray because they're thorough and so easy to use on the go.

Look for the zinc
Zinc oxide has had a bad rep for resembling white paste on skin, but new formulas are easier to blend. Here, three reasons to use the mineral.
Zinc oxide–based and fragrance-free. Jeffrey Westbrook
It's Great for Sensitive Skin: Zinc oxide has skin-soothing properties and won't cause an allergic reaction. Because mineral formulas can feel thick, it may come as a surprise that zinc oxide won't cause breakouts. "In fact, zinc oxide–based sunscreen is what I recommend to my patients with acne," says Dr. Wechsler, who suggests checking the label for the percent of zinc oxide. "The higher the better, and the minimum is 10 percent," she says. Try Olay Regenerist Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30, which has 17.5 percent.
It Works Right Away: Because zinc oxide is a mineral that sits on skin like armor to filter UV rays, it protects the second you put it on (chemical sunscreens need at least 20 minutes to absorb).
It Might Be Safer for the Seas: Some researchers believe that oxybenzone and octinoxate may damage coral reefs and marine life, and some places have banned the sale of sunscreens with those ingredients. Physical SPFs, like Australian Gold Botanical Mineral Lotion SPF 30, are "reef friendly."
Step Two: Bust Your SPF Excuses
Adults may be even better than kids at coming up with reasons not to apply. We all know (and have probably used) greatest hits such as "It's cloudy" or "I'm in the car." Derms have heard them all, and they have comebacks for any justification you can dish out.
I WFH and am never outside …
"You don't need to be on the beach to get sun exposure or sun damage," says Ellen Marmur, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City and mom of four. "UVA rays come through windows, so you need to protect your skin while in a car, a plane, or a home office." Supergoop! Daily Dose Vitamin C + SPF 40 Serum contains chemical sunscreen and an antioxidant to protect and brighten in one step. Blue light from digital devices could be problematic too (see "Remember Your Screen 'Screen," right).
I'm just running one errand …
"We all make these little deals with ourselves," Dr. Wechsler says. "We associate applying sunscreen with being outside all day on vacation, but even five minutes of unprotected sun exposure is harmful." And besides, quick errands can turn into long ones. A sunscreen that doesn't feel thick or greasy, like Banana Boat Light as Air Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+, is hassle-free.
Sunscreen absorbs into the bloodstream …
"Mineral sunscreens do not absorb into the skin, which is why I love them," Dr. Wechsler says. Some chemical sunscreen ingredients do, but scientists haven't found evidence that they're harmful. Bottom line: If you're worried, wear UPF clothing and mineral sunscreen.
But I need vitamin D …
"It's true that making vitamin D is one of the skin's big jobs, and the vitamin is important for the immune system and the absorption of calcium," Dr. Marmur says. "But just five to 15 minutes of incidental light is enough to get your body to synthesize vitamin D through the skin. Realistically, unless you slather on SPF like cake frosting from your scalp to your fingertips, you'll probably still make enough. You can also get it from fortified food and supplements."
This is Venus Williams's brand. Jeffrey Westbrook
My dark skin protects me …
"People of color have a built-in SPF of about 13.4 compared with fair skin's 3.4," Dr. Gohara says. "But all skin tones can get skin cancer, and those with more melanin can be more prone to hyperpigmentation. Sunscreen is the best way to prevent both. A recent study showed that BIPOC women who wore sunscreen every day had improved skin texture and tone." Adds Dr. Ingleton, who has dark skin herself, "My patients with darker complexions ask how mine looks so youthful. I tell them that I've been wearing sunscreen daily for the past 30 years." We like EleVen by Venus Unrivaled Sun Serum SPF 35, which blends into all skin tones.
Step Three: Remember Your Screen 'Screen
Just when you think you've got this UV thing figured out, here comes another wavelength to protect against. High-energy visible (HEV) light, aka blue light, is a short-wavelength light emitted by the sun, lightbulbs, and digital devices like (gulp) our laptops and phones. Blue light has been shown to contribute to skin issues like hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, but unlike UVA/UVB light, it is not associated with skin cancers. FYI, not all sunscreens are blue-light-protective, Dr. Gohara says. "Chemical ones absorb UVA and UVB but not HEV rays. Mineral sunscreens, however, do have the ability to protect from all wavelengths of light. And research is showing that the ingredient iron oxide boosts their effectiveness." Dr. Loretta Urban Antioxidant Sunscreen SPF 40 and Colorescience Face Shield Glow SPF 50 check all the boxes.

Step Four: Get Serious About Skin Checks
"I believe you should live your life and not be afraid of the sun," says Dr. Marmur, a skin-cancer survivor. "I've had multiple surgeries for basal cell carcinoma, but I still run on the beach, climb mountains, and go outside with my family every chance I get—I just take a few seconds to put sunscreen on first."
Melanoma is the most common cancer in people between the ages of 25 and 29 and also the most serious. But here's the good news: According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, daily use of sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher reduces the risk of developing melanoma by 50 percent. While a yearly exam from your dermatologist is highly recommended, giving your own bod a regular once-over could be even more important. "Most skin cancers are found by the patient, and about half of melanomas are self-detected," Dr. Marmur says. "Skin cancers that are caught early are 92 to 100 percent curable, so time is of the essence." Don't think of a self-exam as a big thing. "It's really about getting to know the landscape and texture of your skin and noticing if there's a change," Dr. Gohara says. "When taking a shower or putting on lotion, be aware of anything that wasn't there before or feels different." This includes a spot or sore that won't heal or a mole that's changed color, size, or shape.

6 New-Mom Beauty Mistakes You Might Be Making


Last weekend's Maker Faire wasn't only about the latest and greatest. Some of the groups there brought up the latest and greatest from earlier eras. InfoAge is a historical science and technology learning center based out of the former Camp Evans in Wall, New Jersey, and they really know how to put on a show using old technology.
I made it to two booths at Maker Faire claimed by members or associates of InfoAge. First up is the booth from MARCH, the Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists. They've got a PDP-8, a PDP-11/20, a few VAXxen, IBM mainframes, entire kilobytes of core memory, and enough C64s, TRS-80s, Commodore PETs, teletypes, and punch cards to get to the moon several times over.
The feature of MARCH's booth was a nearly 100% accurate Apple I reproduction. Yes, the same computer built by hand by [the Steves] who later went on to found Apple Computers. In the video (above, and after the break), a MARCH member demonstrates booting BASIC from a cassette interface with the help of an iPod and typing in a simple program.
Next up are the guys from the radio technology museum at InfoAge. They decided to celebrate the 100th anniversary of [Edwin Armstrong]'s invention of the regenerative radio receiver.
The regenerative radio receiver is an extremely simple device; it can be built out of baling wire and some variants use only one tube. In the video, [Al] shows off his recreation of a regenerative receiver with fancy olde tymie components that include a variable capacitor and a B cell battery (it's a recreation using a bunch of 9 Volts, but yes, B batteries do exist).
It goes without saying that InfoAge is really cool, and certainly worth the visit if you're ever in the area. Bonus: it's only 20 miles away from where [Penzias] and [Wilson] earned their Nobel Prize for discovering the Big Bang.
Thank you Hackaday for featuring InfoAge exhibits! In addition to the vintage computer and antique radio groups, InfoAge also hosts a hackerspace; shipwreck museum; amateur radio club; electronics warfare exhibit; military communications displays; Apollo Guidance Computer; and (coming soon) military vehicles and model trains.
Do you have a DSKY unit?
Nope, we only have the computer itself.
Thanks for posting this.. Infoage is one of those little known but great places to check out..
This guy kind of reminds me of young Steve Jobs both visually and audibly.
Andrew, I think you mean Woz, Jobs was the skinny guy who recently passed away.
Note: a "B" cell and a "B battery" are different things. The "B cell" was developed for an early flashlight (torch to the British). The "B battery" is what is described on the Wiki link.
Send an email to dwobser [at] gmail. He leads the hackerspace.
Thanks Evan :-) I wasn't able to respond from work.
Man, I want that PDP-8 so bad….
You can't have it, but you may visit it almost any Sunday, and by appointment at other times. Email me for details: evan[at]infoage[dot]org.


Reciprocal discipline has been ordered in Pennsylvania based on an attorney's recent Alaska disbarment.
On December 30, 2010, Pohland and a friend entered a store with shopping carts and reusable shopping bags. The women obtained a wire cutter from the hardware section of the store and used the wire cutter to cut security tags off of shoes. The women put the shoes into the reusable shopping bags and returned the empty shoe boxes to the shelves. They added items from throughout the store to the bags. They concealed a total of $1,020.08 of merchandise in the reusable bags and combined the bags into one cart. Pohland's friend pushed the cart out of the store without paying for the merchandise. Pohland accompanied her.
Store policy is to stop and arrest the person pushing the cart. Pohland's friend was detained. Pohland was allowed to leave the premises before police arrived.
Surveillance video documented the actions of the two women. Persons watching the video during a monthly meeting between Loss Prevention employees of the store and Anchorage Police Department detectives were able to identify Pohland as a good friend of and current tenant living in an apartment at the house of the woman who had been detained.
At the time of the shoplifting incident, Pohland was an attorney at the Alaska Department of Law and her friend was working for the Alaska State Employees Association (ASEA).
On September 9, 2011, Pohland pleaded guilty to concealment of merchandise in violation of AS 11.46.220(a) and AS 11.46.220(c)(2)(A), a misdemeanor shoplifting offense.
The court sentenced Pohland to 90 days in jail with 90 days suspended. She was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and placed on a three-year probation.
There were other violations involving misuse of her official position as a state government attorney.
As an assistant attorney general Pohland provided legal advice and counsel to the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. In June 2010, the staff of the Alaska Labor Relations Agency (ALRA) met with Pohland to discuss their concerns about potentially forged interest cards used to support a demand for an election to organize several hundred employees of the University of Alaska. The staff discussed their suspicions that Pohland's friend was involved in the submission of forged interest cards.
Pohland provided legal advice to ALRA staff on multiple occasions between June 9 and June 24, 2010. At trial, two assistant attorneys general and the former assistant commissioner for the Department of Labor and Workforce Development testified that Pohland consulted with them about the forged interest cards and how to handle the issue. At the time she provided legal advice to the ALRA staff, Pohland engaged in regular text messages with her friend about the petition prepared by the ASEA.
In August 2010, a former employee of the ASEA notified Alaska State Troopers to report her concerns about the allegedly forged interest cards. Following a criminal investigation, the State charged Pohland and her friend with criminal misconduct. On February 25, 2013, Pohland's friend was convicted of forgery in the second degree, a class C felony.
On October 21, 2015, following trial, a jury convicted Pohland of official misconduct, a class A misdemeanor. She was sentenced to 120 days in jail with 120 days suspended. She was fined $5,000 with the fine to be offset by restitution due to ALRA on August 21, 2018. Pohland was placed on probation for three years.
During investigation of Pohland for official misconduct, evidence was discovered that Pohland and her friend engaged in multiple shoplifting thefts and that the single act of theft when she was caught was not an isolated act as Pohland represented to the court.
ADN.com reported on the official misconduct charges.
A former assistant attorney general and her union organizer friend are facing criminal charges in an alleged 2010 scam to inflate the number of state employees interested in joining a union.
It's not the first time the pair have been named together in a charging document.
Last January, Anchorage police charged former state labor lawyer Erin Pohland, 32, and ex-union organizer Skye Rubadeau McRoberts, 31, with stealing more than $1,000 in shoes from a Fred Meyer store. Both later pleaded guilty.
The current charges accuse McRoberts of felony forgery and business record falsification and Pohland with misdemeanor official misconduct, all related to an effort by the state's largest union to organize University of Alaska employees.
KTVA Alaska reported on the disposition of these charges.
Judge Jo-Ann Chung sentenced Pohland to a $5,000 fine and a suspended jail sentence. Although she faced up to a year in jail, Chung said jail time was not warranted even though Pohland was convicted of a "serious charge," the DOL statement says. Pohland was also placed on informal probation for three years.

Q: Is there a word or phrase for someone who asks for help, but wants you to do everything? Maybe my definition of help is skewed, but to me it means cooperation to meet a goal, or some element of teamwork.
But is there a word or phrase for the action of (or the person) asking for help, but in reality wanting you to do the whole thing for them?

A: You could call him a moocher.

Moocher (noun): one who exploits the generosity of others : a person who mooches off others.
[Merriam-Webster]

(Shiftless or indolent could also be used.)

Hike Route - Little Si trail - out and back
This somewhat easy 4.4 mile hike attracts all types of hikers and even rock climbers. There is a good sized parking lot -- plus an overflow lot, consequently the trail is very well used. At 7am on a Sunday, there were about four cars there -- upon returning at 9:30am, the parking lot was FULL. So be prepared to arrive very early on weekends to avoid the crowds.
From Little Si Hike - May 2009
The Trailhead is right in the parking lot, next to two restrooms. The trail has a pretty good incline start and continues uphill almost non-stop for the first 1/4 of the hike.
As this book points out, the Little Si hike is very good "sampler" of Cascade hiking -- with loose rock, well built trails, solid rock ledges, old and second growth forests and some breathtaking views.
The start of the hike has a loose rock trail surface along a pretty big rock outcropping. It keeps you on your toes as you begin the climb up the mountain. The trail is wide enough to handle two way traffic is most places, but sometimes its only wide enough for one person.
At about 0.2 miles, you reach a clearing with a great view Rattlesnake ledge and Mount Washington. Its a great preview to get you excited about reaching the summit of this hike.
At 0.3 miles there is the only marked trail junction along the route is the Boulder Garden Loop Trail.
From this point the trail opens up a bit, with lots of green trees and birds chirping away. Its very peaceful part of the trail, if you happen to be alone.
Soon you will reach a newly renovated section of the trail that crosses a small but fast running stream. The stream goes through a metal pipe, so you walk on a path above it and dont get wet.
At 0.8 miles you pass a rock climbing section, the trail gets a bit lost along most rock covered hill. But dont worry, you cant really get lost, as it all ends up going up to the trail.
Right before reaching the summit, the trail gets very rocky again, but its manageable.
The summit (elev. 1,576 ft) is much like Rattlesnake ledge, with a solid rock surface over looking the surrounding area. There are great views of the North Bend, Rattlesnake Mountain, Mount Washington and of course Mount Si --- looming above.
It was a fantastic clear and sunny day, with no wind -- so there were views all around.
Similar to the Rattlesnake ledge hike, some of the BEST views are actually not at the popular summit. There is a very small ledge right before you get to the top of Little Si, off to the left. It provides for some fantastic views looking somewhat North.
This is one of the Top Hikes to do in Seattle and is really worth it on a clear day. However, if you want to avoid the crowds, be sure to do it super early. Its a fairly easy hike, with some moderate uphills mixed in.

Area - Mount Si Natural Resources Conservation Area (Near North Bend, Washington)
Trails - Little Si Trail
Map - DNR Mount Si Map, Green Trails Mount Si Map 206S
Elevation - Gain of 1,200 feet
Length - 4.4 miles out and back - about 2.5 hours with limited stops
Trail - Rocky and Dirt trail, with a rock covered summit. Mostly in the shade, except the first 1/2 mile and the summit.
View - Yes - one view near trailhead, then full views at the summit
Getting There - Take I-90 East to Exit 32 (436th Street) and turn left. Upon reaching North Bend Way, turn left -- then right on Mount Si road. After about a mile, the main trailhead is located on the left. Note: this is the new trailhead location as of about 2003.
Fee- None, free parking lot
Other Trails - A couple, including the Boulder Garden Loop Trail


Leveraging email marketing can add a significant boost to your revenue without the need to attract new customers, especially if you are running an ecommerce store. As a smart business owner like you already knows, it costs a lot less to retain an existing customer than to attracting and converting a new customer.
Tasked by Anchor Rubber Stamp, a notary supplies store, to improve their online presence, our team of Certified Inbound Marketing Consultants put together a holistic marketing strategy to increase revenue through various digital channels.
While the full plan involved blogging, SEO, social media, and subscriber nurturing campaigns, those are all longer plays for hitting sales goals and we wanted to increase orders more quickly.
With an existing email database of customers, we knew that implementing a Re-activation & Engagement email campaign was low hanging fruit to drive more sales.
Since the list itself had never been used, sending out a sales email was not going to have as great an impact as a full nurturing campaign. We worked on creating a map of content that our target audience would be interested in and created a sequence of emails to re-introduce the brand, build credibility, and then send relevant offers.
Over the first 3 months of execution, the email marketing campaigns have increased revenue 6.67% (per month) for Anchor Rubber Stamp's online sales.
Want To Increase Your Revenue With Digital Marketing?
When you work with Tresnic Media, we research and analyze all online opportunities for your business to improve, build a customized digital marketing plan for your business and handle ongoing implementation to help you achieve your business goals.


People are at the heart of every business and managing employees effectively is a key aspect of an efficient and motivated workforce. If an employee behaves in a way contrary to the culture of the business or in breach of its policies and this affects other employees or causes reputational or other damage to the business, it may be necessary to take affirmative action.
We advise on all aspects of the investigatory and disciplinary process to ensure that a fair procedure is followed and the outcome of the disciplinary process is satisfactory.

The State: Uppers and Downers
Traffic Gallery, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
9 February - 5 March 2011
'THE STATE: UPPERS & DOWNERS', featuring works by 23 different artists from The Farook Collection.
The show resumes a conversation initiated by Rami Farook, Emarati Director and Curator of Traffic, about the state of the world today, continuing to observe, document and share. While 'THE STATE' – the inaugural exhibition held at Traffic, dealt with the socio-political state post September 11th, 'THE STATE: UPPERS & DOWNERS' comments on the current global condition, but from an economic perspective, where the city of Dubai is a focal point.
The financial crisis from 2007 to the present is considered by many economists to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Like other world-class capitals, Dubai has felt the crunch of the economic downturn and saw its six-year development boom come to a grinding halt.
Award-winning journalist Jim Krane boldly summarizes Dubai prior to the crash, "…It is capitalism on cocaine, Las Vegas without the gambling. Until its construction boom came to an end in 2009, it was the fastest-growing city in the world. With shimmering skyscrapers hiding gritty 24-hour construction at ground level, its economy outpaced China's while luring more tourists than all of India…(Dubai) has become an icon of the future, a rising force in the Middle East that impacts on us all."

May 24, 2013 (Ramona)--The County Department of Animal Services (DAS) is investigating the death of a horse and is caring for another ten horses seized from an owner in Ramona late yesterday afternoon.
DAS was called to Ramona Monday after a group of horses was found loose on Highway 78 Monday. CHP and CALFIRE returned them to a nearby property, and DAS began monitoring a herd of 30 horses at the location, noting that the animals lacked food and water. CALFIRE supplied some water, but the conditions prompted DAS to post a notice advising the horses' owner the animals were subject to seizure.
Concerned neighbors also provided some feed to the horses, but based on the conditions officers found during a check yesterday, DAS seized all of the animals on the property.
After seizing the horses, the owner confirmed that another one of her horses had recently died. DAS is investigating the circumstances of that death.
Seven mares and two foals are now being stabled at the DAS shelter in Bonita. One stallion is under the care of the DAS shelter in Carlsbad. The horses' hooves need to be trimmed but from outward appearances, the horses need minor care and none is in a life-threatening condition. A veterinarian checked on the horses upon their arrival yesterday and the results are still pending. The animals will remain under DAS care until further notice.

Die Verkehrswissenschaftliche Lehrmittelgesellschaft (VWL) war ursprünglich ein Verlag, der 1924 in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft gegründet wurde. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde er von der Deutschen Bundesbahn (DB) übernommen und ging mit der Bahnreform 1994 an die Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG) über. Als DB Media & Buch GmbH erbringt sie für die DB AG Dienstleistungen im Medienbereich.

Reichsbahnzeit
Im Einvernehmen mit der Hauptverwaltung der Deutschen Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft gab er zum Teil amtliche Werke, aber auch Lehrmittel für die Aus- und Weiterbildung von Eisenbahnern heraus. Dazu zählten: Allgemeine Schriften über die Reichsbahn, Schriften zu Sozialwesen, Betrieb, Verkehr, Bau- und Maschinentechnik, Eisenbahnrecht, Finanzwesen, Einheitskurzschrift und Lehrstoffhefte, aber auch Unterhaltungsliteratur. Bereits anlässlich des fünfjährigen Bestehens des Verlages 1929 hatte er 150 Werke (einschließlich Neuauflagen) herausgegeben.

Der Verlag hatte seinen Sitz bis 1937 in Berlin, anschließend in Leipzig.

Deutsche Bundesbahn
Nach dem Krieg wurde die Verkehrswissenschaftliche Lehrmittelgesellschaft in Westdeutschland von der Deutschen Bundesbahn übernommen und mit neuem Sitz in Frankfurt am Main und später in Kassel fortgeführt.

Deutsche Bahn AG
Mit der Bahnreform ging die VWL an die Deutsche Bahn AG über und firmiert seitdem als DB Media & Buch GmbH. Für die DB AG übernimmt sie unter anderem die Herausgabe von Publikationen, die Mediaplanung, betrieb bis 2018 einen Onlineshop für Fachbücher und war bis 2019 für den Einkauf von Medialeistungen zuständig.

2015 wurde der damalige Geschäftsführer suspendiert, nachdem es zu Unregelmäßigkeiten bei der Vergabe von Leistungen im Bereich der Internetwerbung gekommen war. Seit 2019 findet vor dem Landgericht Kassel ein entsprechender Strafprozess gegen ihn und weitere Mitangeklagte statt, nach Presseberichten wird ihnen ein Millionenbetrug zu Lasten der DB AG vorgeworfen.

Brain cancer is a life threatening ailment of the brain wherein carcinogenic cells (malignant) develop within the brain tissue. In effect, the cancer cells develop to take the shape of a mass of cancer tissue, also known as a tumour, which obstructs the functioning of the brain, for instance, in controlling the muscles, memory, sensation as well as other usual activities of the body. The tumours that are made of carcinogenic cells are known as malignant tumours, while those that are mostly made up of non-cancerous cells are known as benign tumours. It is worth mentioning here that cancerous cells that have their origin in the brain tissue are known as primary brain tumour, while tumours that extend from other parts of the body to the brain are known as metastatic brain tumours.
Grade I: In this stage, the tissue comprises non-cancerous cells (benign). These cells almost resemble the standard brain cells and they multiply quite leisurely.
Grade II: In this stage, the tissue turns malignant, denoting that it comprises cancerous cells. In this case too, the cells appear less similar to the normal brain cells compared to those in Grade I tumour.
Grade III: In this stage, the malignant tissue comprises cells that are very dissimilar in appearance compared to the normal brain cells. These anomalous cells have a rapid growth and appear noticeably anomalous (also known as anaplastic).
Grade IV: In this stage, the malignant tissue comprises cells that have a very anomalous appearance and they are also inclined to multiply very rapidly.
The most widespread basic brain tumours generally derive their name from the type of brain tissue they develop from. These primary brain tumours include meningiomas, gliomas, vestibular schwannomas, pituitary adenomas and primitive neuroectodermal tumours (also known as medulloblastomas). The primary brain tumours called gliomas are again categorized into several sub-types including astrocytomas, ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas and choroid plexus papillomas. Together with their name, the different grades of tumour provide the physicians with an enhanced perception regarding the gravity of the brain cancer. For instance, while a grade III or anaplastic glioma is known to be a very belligerent form of brain cancer, an acoustic neuroma is actually a grade I benign brain tumour. Nevertheless, it may be noted that people enduring benign tumours may also experience immense troubles when they develop sufficiently big to bring about an augmented intracranial pressure or hinder flow of cerebrospinal fluid or the vascular arrangements.
While there are very few visible symptoms of brain cancer in the initial stages, the most familiar indications of this deadly disease may include headaches, debility, problems in walking and fits. People enduring the early stages of brain cancer may also experience queasiness, vomiting, blurred vision or some kind of alteration in their cerebral ability, attentiveness, memory, talking or even behaviour. However, even people who are not suffering from brain cancer may experience any of the symptoms mentioned here. Besides, no one is able to envisage from any of these symptoms, either individually or a number of them together, that an individual is suffering from brain cancer. It is also worth mentioning here that cancer may develop in any part of the brain - for instance, frontal, occipital, temporal lobes or parietal, brainstem or the meningeal membranes. There are some types of brain cancer, although very few in number, that usually produce a small number of or no symptoms at all - for instance, pituitary gland tumours and meningeal tumours.
Thus far, scientists are yet to find out the precise reason for the development of brain cancer. Sometimes, other forms of cancers, such as breast cancer; leukemia or lymphoma (cancers related to the blood cells) and/ or lung cancer may also spread (technically known as metastasizing) to the brain resulting in metastatic brain cancer. These types of brain cancer cells have the aptitude to subsequently develop in a particular area or several different areas within the brain.
While the exact cause of brain cancer is yet to be ascertained, scientists have identified certain risk factors that may result in the development of brain cancer. These risk factors include exposure of the patient to vinyl chloride (a chemical substance utilized to manufacture plastic), radiation to the head on any previous occasion, and immunosuppression - for instance taking medications to restrain the immune system, HIV/ AIDS.
By and large, using herbs is a very safe means to fortify as well as harmonize the various systems of our body. Like in the instance of any other type of treatment, it is essential for you to consult your physician or healthcare provider before you begin treatment with any herbal medicine.
There are specific herbs that help to perk up the functioning of the brain. For instance, ginkgo biloba helps to augment the cerebral capabilities in patients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease. However, German scientists who undertook a study of the effect of ginkgo and published their findings in the medical journal BMC Geriatrics in March 2010 came to the conclusion that the effects of the herb were discreet. On the other hand, the Natural Standard, a shared research platform where contemporaries appraise the testimony for alternative therapies, assumes that there is proof supporting the use of ginkgo for people in the initial stage of dementia or Alzheimer's. However, it also says that it is yet to be ascertained if ginkgo has the aptitude to augment the memory in people who are in their best health. In addition, it has been found that ginkgo biloba has the potential to interact with a number of drugs, including aspirin, and, hence, it should always be used under the supervision of a physician or qualified healthcare provider.
Traditionally, it is believed that in addition to assisting in easing stress, Panax ginseng - also known as Asian, Korean or red ginseng, enhances the memory as well as thinking skills. Citing preliminary research, the University of Maryland Medical Center hints that ginseng may possibly facilitate memory as well as learning in ailing elderly people and also those who are in the pink of their health. At the same time, it says that there is a need for further studies on this subject. It has been found that ginseng has the potential to interact with an assortment of drugs and, therefore, it is advisable that you take this herb only under the direct guidance of qualified medical professionals.
Since long, practitioners of the stream of ancient Indian herbal medicine called Ayurveda have been recommending the use of Bacopa monniera, generally known as brahmi, to enhance the functioning of the brain. The findings of a double-blind, placebo-controlled research which were published in the August 2002 edition of Neuropsychopharmacology, claimed that Australian scientists detected that when the subjects who took brahmi were tested, they were found to be considerably better and were able to retain new information much better. However, the use of the supplement did not exhibit any influence on additional tests undertaken to find the herb's effect on learning and cognition. Like most other herbs, even brahmi has the aptitude to interact with a number of convention drugs and, therefore, it should always be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional or physician.
Folklore as well as aromatherapists suggests that In case your attention is not fixed and your concentration is turned down, you will benefit immensely by chewing peppermint gum, consuming candy prepared from peppermint and inhaling peppermint oil. It is worth mentioning here that there is some scientific data that corroborates the use of peppermint to perk up your alertness and memory.
The essential trace mineral selenium is a potent antioxidant which is beneficial for people enduring brain tumours. It may be noted that several oncologists are of the view that using any dietary supplement that is graded as an antioxidant may possibly obstruct the competence of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to eliminate the cancer cells. While this hypothesis appears to be reasonable, there is very little published scientific evidence that corroborates this view. In fact, selenium possesses the aptitude to slow down the propagation as well as aggression of carcinogenic cells. At the same time, this trace mineral helps to encourage apoptosis (programmed cell death) in a range of brain tumour cells, counting the malignant cell lines.
In addition to selenium, vitamin E is also a very potent antioxidant and is especially effective in treating brain cancer. The findings of a study undertaken in 2005 says that the use of alpha-tocopherol-succinate augments the chemotherapy cure of glioblastoma cells, which are generally resistant to drugs, thereby, enhancing the efficiency of chemotherapy.
Use of dietary supplements may also help us in dealing with nutritional deficiencies. For this you may need work together with herbalists and nutritionists to chalk out a complete program for cancer care. However, you ought to bear in mind that your need to tell your physician regarding all nutritional treatments and herbal medications that you are already using. This is important because there are many nutritional supplements that may get in the way of cancer treatments and every time there is plenty of new information available on this topic. Some of the supplements that you may use to address nutritional deficiencies are discussed briefly below.
You may find using omega-3 fatty acids like fish oil, useful in lessening the inflammation associated with brain cancer and also in boosting the immune system. For utmost benefits, take this supplement in dosage of one to two capsules or one tablespoonful of the oil once or twice every day. It may be mentioned that cold water fish, for instance halibut and salmon, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. However, it is important to talk to your physician or healthcare provider prior to taking supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids because they have the potential to enhance the blood thinning consequences of specific medications, for instance, aspirin and Coumadin.
Using probiotic supplements, especially those that contain Lactobacillus acidophilus in dosage of 5 to 10 billion CFUs (colony forming units) every day helps in sustaining the health of the gastrointestinal as well as immune system. To obtain the best results of using probiotic supplements, it is essential that you store them in a refrigerator. However, before you start taking the probiotic supplements, it is important to consult your physician to determine whether they are suitable for you.
It is advisable that you take melatonin in dosage of 2 mg to 6 mg before retiring for the day, as it will help to enhance the health of the immune system and also promote sound sleep. People suffering from brain cancer may require a higher dosage of this nutritional supplement. Nevertheless, remember to talk to your physician or healthcare provider before you start taking melatonin, as it has the aptitude to interact with a range of medications that may include blood thinning medicines, antidepressants, psychiatric drugs, blood pressure medications, sedatives and many more.
People suffering from brain cancer may find aromatherapy beneficial for their condition. You may blend the essential oils of lavender (botanical name, Lavendula angustifolia), chamomile (botanical name, Matricaria recutita) and bergamot (botanical name, Citrus bergamia) for use in aromatherapy. Add some drops of this combination of essential oils in a warm bath. Alternately, you may also add four to six drops of these essential oils to one tablespoon of vegetable oil and use it for massage.
In addition to using the conventional medicines and aromatherapy, specific homeopathic remedies may also be effective in easing the symptoms of this condition. For instance, a knowledgeable homeopathic physician may recommend a treatment schedule to support the general health while one is enduring brain cancer and this regimen would be individualized for your case only. In addition, using homeopathic remedies may assist in lessening the symptoms of the condition and, at the same time, make the general constitution of the patient stronger, lessen the consequences of strain throughout the period one is suffering from cancer and may possibly also reduce the side effects of undergoing chemotherapy. It may be noted here that Radium Bromatum is especially taken for treating poisoning caused by radiation therapy, mainly after arthritic complaints.
Besides the homeopathic remedy mentioned above, there are several others that are useful in treating the symptoms of brain cancer. These homeopathic remedies include Calcaria carb., Kali brom., Plumbum met., Belladonna, Cicuta virosa, Argentum nitricum and several additional remedies.
In addition to the different treatment modes discussed above, people suffering from brain cancer may also do a few more things to ease their symptoms. Acupuncture is one such treatment approach that may benefit people enduring this deadly condition. Although acupuncture is not employed for treating cancer directly, there are evidences that hint at the fact that this mode of treatment may prove to be an important remedy for symptoms related to cancer, especially vomiting and nausea, which frequently occurs while the patient undergoes chemotherapy. Several studies also suggest that acupuncture may possibly assist in lessening the pain and ease shortness of breath. In addition, acupressure, a therapeutic approach wherein pressure is applied at specific points in the body instead of using needles at the acupuncture points, may also assist in easing breathlessness. The best part of acupuncture is that the patient himself/ herself may use this method to cure themselves.
A number of acupuncture professionals like to work with the patients only after the conventional medical treatment for cancer has been completed. On the other hand, there are others who will offer herbal therapy or acupuncture even during the period the patient is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In general, most acupuncture professionals treat cancer patients depending on a personalized evaluation of the surplus and dearth of qi to be found in different meridians. In several incidences of symptoms associated with cancer, deficiency of qi is generally identified in the meridians located in the kidney or the spleen.
When we talk about an all-inclusive regimen for brain cancer, we actually denote a variety of harmonizing as well as alternative remedies. Several physicians, who are naturally oriented, are of the view that herbs as well as nutrients may possibly provide us protection from the side effects of the conventional medical treatments, and also improve chemotherapy, while supporting all other anti-cancer actions. There are other physicians, who are worried that specific natural remedies are likely to get in the way of the conventional therapies for cancer. Hence, it is essential that the patients not only educate themselves, but also tell their physicians or healthcare providers regarding all the treatments - including conventional, natural and alternative, that they are already using.
It is worth mentioning here that undertaking mind-body therapies, for instance, relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga as well as qi gong, may help in lessening the consequences of strain and, simultaneously, improve the quality of your life as well as your reaction to the treatment. It is advisable that you talk to your physician or the medical team treating you regarding the most excellent means to include these therapies into your general treatment plan for brain cancer. At the same time, ensure that you tell your physician and/ or healthcare providers if you are already using any herbal medicine or dietary supplements for your condition.
In addition, you may also incorporate some nutritional methods that will facilitate you in getting relief from the symptoms related to cancer. A few such nutritional tips are listed below for your perusal and necessary actions.
Consume lesser quantities of red meats, while increasing the intake of cold water fish, lean meats, beans or tofu (for example, soy, provided you do not have allergic reactions from it) for protein. Ensure that you use protein obtained from quality sources, for instance, eggs, meat, whey as well as vegetable protein shakes, which all would form a balanced program intended to increase muscle mass and also put off wasting - an adverse effect of different cancer therapies.
You should also make an endeavour to keep away from supposed food allergens like wheat (gluten), dairy (including milk, ice cream and cheese), corn, soy, all preservatives as well as chemicals used as food additives. It is possible that your physician or healthcare provider would want you to undergo a test to detect the foods which cause allergic reactions in you.
At the same time, you should use wholesome oil for all culinary purposes, for instance any good vegetable oil or olive oil. It is also important that you lessen or completely get rid of trans fatty acids, present in commercially available baked items like cakes, cookies, onion rings, crackers, French fries, processed foods, donuts and margarine. Also keep away from all products containing caffeine and stop using any stimulants, such as tobacco and alcohol.
Exercise is important for people suffering from brain cancer and they should preferably work-out five days every week. However, they need to consult their physician prior to starting an exercise regimen.

2Some of the ISPs purchased by Verio
Global web hosting provider headquartered in the U.S.

Verio is a global web hosting provider headquartered in the United States. Incorporated in 1996 in Denver, Colorado, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) Communications, which acquired the company in 2000. Verio was formed from a consolidation of over 200 smaller Internet service providers (ISPs)[1] and web hosting services.
Verio was founded by Darin Brannan and Justin Jaschke, and several senior management team members subsequently joined from OneComm/Nextel. The company idea, including the initial business plan and pitch deck, began in the halls of Norwest Venture Partners after several months of market diligence and target acquisition discussions. Venture Capitalists Mr. George J. Still, Jr. and Darin Brannan from Norwest Venture Partners ultimately teamed with Mr. Steven C. Halstedt from the Centennial Funds and Steve Schovee from Telecom Partners to syndicate and launch the business in 1996.
In order to validate the strategy and raise capital, Brett Sharenow and Lynn Morris from Morris Associates were hired to create the first detailed engineering-driven financial model consisting of ISPs, core network infrastructure, and server farms, allowing Verio to raise substantial funds ($1.1 billion) from principal founders, several top tier VC's, NTT and institutional investors with which to purchase target acquisitions and build out centralized back office, support, national sales and infrastructure.
By the year 2000, Verio had purchased 55 ISP/Hosting companies, most in the U.S. but some in Europe. During this time Verio went public on the NASDAQ, trading under the symbol VRIO, with a market value exceeding $1 billion. Shortly after the IPO, in early 2000, Verio was sold to NTT at a per-share price of $73, a total cost slightly exceeding $5 billion. Because NTT was a 53% Japanese government-owned company, foreigners were not allowed to own NTT stock, according to Japanese law at the time,[2] and therefore the buy-out was a 100% cash deal, making it one of the highest grossing deals of the dotcom era. The United States Congress held hearings over the transaction to ensure it did not violate national security concerns. The Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation expressed concern that the Japanese government, which owned 53 percent of NTT at the time, could gain access to classified information should the U.S. government use Verio's network to tap Internet communications during an investigation. To placate these concerns, NTT agreed to form a separate division within the company staffed only by U.S. citizens to handle any work in support of government investigations. As a result, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States recommended that President Clinton allow the $5.5 billion purchase to proceed. The deal also prompted scrutiny of Japan's openness to foreign telecom competitors.
Shortly after the announced deal, the NASDAQ stock market crashed in the spring of 2000 in the dot-com bubble burst. The agreed price of $73 remained and NTT and Verio completed the transaction by the fall of 2000.
Verio continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications.
At the end of 2005, the backbone and some dedicated hosting centers moved to NTT America, with the web hosting business staying with Verio. At the same time, the European arm, Verio Europe, was moved in its entirety to NTT Europe. In October 2006, Verio Europe was renamed NTT Europe Online.
In late May 2015, Verio Shared SMB hosting division, as a business unit of NTT America, Inc. ("NTT America"), was sold to The Endurance International Group, Inc. Endurance will continue to provide web hosting, email and domain name services under the Verio name. [3] [4]
Some of the ISPs purchased by Verio[edit]
Verio was initially built on a business model known as a "rollup", composed entirely of smaller companies operating under the Verio brand name. By the year 2000, Verio had purchased more than 50 small ISPs and hosting companies,[5] most in the US but also in Europe, ranging in price from under US$1 million to over US$100 million per ISP. These companies were often mature and well-known brand names in their local markets — more well known than Verio — and often continued to operate with a great deal of local autonomy even after purchase by Verio. Some of the companies purchased by Verio were leading pioneers in the internet industry (Digital Nation, NorthWestNet), representing the first wave of commercial ISP access and hosting in regional markets around the US and Europe.

Q: how to call a text file data in email body by using python script I am new in Python. I have the below script to send email from isilon cluster.
#!/usr/bin/env python

#
# Helper script to send mail using the Isilon libraries
#

import sys
from optparse import OptionParser
import socket
from isi.app.lib.emailer import Emailer, EmailAttachmentFromFile

# Emailer.send_email(to_addresses(list), message(string), from_address=None(string),  subject=None(string),
#                    attachments=None(list), headers=None(list), charset="us-ascii"(string))

def main():
    usage = '%prog: [-f sender] -t recipient [ -t recipient ... ] [-s subject] [-b body] [-a attachment]'
    argparser = OptionParser(usage = usage, description = 'Send email from a cluser node')
    argparser.add_option('-f', '--from', '--sender', dest='sender',
    help="email sender (From:)")
    argparser.add_option('-t', '--to', '--recipients', dest='recipients',
    action = 'append', help="email recipient (To:)")
    argparser.add_option('-s', '--subject', dest='subject',
    help="email subject (Subject:)")
    argparser.add_option('-b', '--body', dest='body',
    help="email body (default stdin)")
    argparser.add_option('-a', '--attachment', '--file', dest='attfiles',
    action = 'append', help="attachment filename")
    (options, args) = argparser.parse_args()
    if options.sender is None:
        fqdn = socket.getfqdn()
        sender = "root@%s" % fqdn
    else:
       sender = options.sender
    if options.recipients is None:
        argparser.error("Unable to send mail without at least one recipient");
        sys.exit(1);
    else:
        recipients = options.recipients
    if options.subject is None:
        subject = 'No subject specified'
    else:
        subject = options.subject
    if options.body is None:
        lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
        body = ''.join(lines)
    else:
        body = options.body
    if options.attfiles is None:
        atts = None
    else:
        atts = []
    for attfile in options.attfiles:
        att = EmailAttachmentFromFile(attfile)
        atts.append(att)
    try:
        Emailer.send_email(recipients, body, sender, subject, attachments = atts)
    except:
        print "Error sending email."
        sys.exit(1)

    sys.exit(0)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

By using the below command i can able to send the email. Test email is successful.
python sendml.py -f xxxx@xxxx.xx -t xxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx -s "test0" -b "test1"

But now i have to display a content of file in email body. Not as an attachment, the content should be displayed in email body.

A: It's very simple and tricky ;) just do this:
python sendml.py -f xxxx@xxxx.xx -t xxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx -s "test0" -b "`cat body.txt`"

When somebody else pays part of your advertising bill, that's a great thing, right?
For some, it's a trap that paints them into a corner, dilutes their own unique message, character and culture and creates the illusion of "getting the word out" more effectively than it actually does. And now more than ever, that matters. A lot.
It used to be that small-to-midsize businesses had to struggle and scrap for more "awareness" and "impressions." But those old ideas have had their day. That approach, and why it's no longer the most effective route, can be summed up in one simple word: noise.
Not so long ago, he or she who made the most noise won. It presented a false idea of legitimacy and credibility when we could dominate our local airwaves, even if the message was largely inauthentic and gimmicky. That game has changed. People don't have to listen to the noise anymore. They have too much choice. And if what we're doing is making noise and trying to "out-impression" everyone else, we're working a lot harder – and spending a lot more – than we have to.
It's connection that matters now, and when we hand the reigns of our message over to someone – or something – else without ever taking the time to tell our own story in our own way and build lasting relationships, we're spinning our wheels. We may complete some transactions, but that won't sustain and scale itself like connection will.
In a lot of cases, co-op makes connection a challenge. For many private businesses, it's an easy marketing trap. But it shouldn't be a trap. It should be fuel. Whether it propels you or pulls you back depends entirely on how you use it.
Like awareness and impressions, it used to be that being attached to a big brand lent an immediate air of legitimacy to a local business. That may still be the case to some extent. But it's changing. Consumers no longer have to put up with shoddy service, ineffective products or broken promises. There are simply too many other choices available that are easily accessible and affordable.
So you sell Ford or Chevrolet or Toyota, or Pandora or John Deere or Yamaha (or whatever the case may be). So what? I can get that stuff anywhere now. Click-click-done. Why would I buy from you?
If this sounds harsh, either get over it or get left behind. There are going to be more choices coming, not less. If you're putting your message almost entirely in the hands of your manufacturer, in my opinion, you're selling yourself short and watering the seeds of redundancy.
– A quick overview of co-op (or "co op") , what it is, to whom it applies and why the principles are worth considering, even if you don't currently represent a specific product or manufacturer.
– The danger of too much co-op messaging = industry jargon that means little (or nothing) to anyone but you and the manufacturer you represent.
– The "Magic Weapon" that almost no one in co-op categories are using effectively yet!
– Use the available space around the co-op specifications to let people know what the products do and, more importantly, why it might matter to them.
– Create some non-co-oped space to tell your own story in an interesting and engaging way.
– Consider what happens when the product you represent changes? What if it goes south, even for a short period of time? If you've put all your eggs in the product brand basket, why would people continue to come to you? I've shared a real example of this, in the episode, of a local business that almost went under while their manufacturer took its sweet time catching back up to an industry that had surpassed it with more appealing products and pricing. During that time, this business survived – barely – on service.
– Try this exercise: Want to see if your message is infected with co-oped industry jargon? Swap out the product names with the name of a Star Wars robot and see how it reads. I'm serious. Because, to people who do not know your brand in-and-out, your product names mean little (or nothing) to them. You may as well call your "IS300" or "Canyonero" an R2D2 or C3P0.
Remember: what something's called doesn't matter to people as much as what it does. And more specifically, what it does for them, and why they might care.


It included the former British Empire, which the U.S. was intending to largely take over, maybe Britain would be a junior partner. And as much of Europe, the commercial and industrial center of Europe, as much of that as possible. Certainly Western Europe, its industrial, technological, commercial center.
The war was very beneficial to the U.S. economy. Its industrial production virtually quadrupled, wartime spending ended the Depression, which had not been ended before — enormous stimulus to the economy. The technology that was developed just laid the basis for post-war growth. In that context 'Grand Area' planning of the kind I described was by no means unrealistic.
