I am starting to get a grasp on the Japanese media scene: Whenever there's a slow news day, you simply publish a new article on "the big one (tm)", and watch the page impressions roll in.
The Big One is the Japanese media's answer to the the Paris Hilton crotch shot or Kardashian wedding.

Keeping Tokai II nuclear plant closed would be a good start.

Where's the "news" here? Nothing new, same old rehashed stories we've been hearing for ages.
Looks like some reporter had nothing better to write about or needed to make their monthly story quota.
Blair Herron
But if we die immediately, we won't need anything right?
Some posters here think if a big earthquake hits Tokyo, you will die. You might. If 6400 out of 35 million die, that means 1 out of 5468 will die. You have more chance to survive than you die. Better be prepared than doing nothing.
The hazard maps have been revised recently in Kanagawa and Saitama. Hopefully in Tokyo, too. You should know where to evacuate according to the map.
But still, don't put all your faith in hazard maps, according to Kamaishi JH.

How many people were home during 3/11?
There have been condominium apartment buildings designated as an emergency shelters. Be aware of those buildings if possible.
http://japanpropertycentral.com/2012/01/shinagawa-apartment-building-to-become-an-emergency-evacuation-shelter/
There are underground warehouse stocked with emergency supplies in Tokyo sidewalk. Items include 5,000 blankets, 8,000 rugs, 4,000 candles, 300 cooking pots, 200 t-shirts, and emergency medical supplies.

In Tokyo, the most damage will be done by fire. You should have at least one fire extinguisher at home. It cost 3,000~5,000yen .

The most important thing is "calm down".
I predict there will be a 100% chance of an earthquake, sometime between now and the year 5000 AD. So where do I apply to get a government grant to study these figures?
I don't care how many "scientists" would claim that a big earthquake measuring X.X magnitude would hit Y city within the next Z years.
Reason is, they call themselves "scientists", but like to disclose information which are trivial, useless, and based on 100% guesswork.
ExportExpert
Just be prepared, water, tinned food, some means of making fire and boiling water, some rice, thermal blankets, sleeping bags, maybe a tent, batteries, torch, wind up radio, toilet paper etc.
You could be left to survive on what you have and your wits for upto a week or more in all seriousness, if you survive the BIG ONE. If you dont survive then you have nothing at all to worry about.
Carry on your life as you normally would but just be aware that shock and awe could strike at any moment, so enjoy what you are doing now, untill it comes down to survival.
Other option is to leave now.
If your number is up then it's up simple.
LoveNot
Ok, now we are warned. Is there anything we can do with this information? It is useless.
Love, do you have your emergency kit set up? Water, blankets, a rainsuit, a tent, a portable gas stove with gas canisters, flashlites with extra batteries, milk, toilet/tissue paper, etc?

On the other hand, it might be better not to be prepared.
When the big one hits, I'm sure Japanese people would take pity on me and give me a mikan or something and then, later, I would be able to treasure the memories of beautiful acts of kindness in the midst of tragedy.
Vernie Jefferies
There is a 50% chance that I don't care what the experts say. Same prediction every year. Yaaaaaaawn.
the biggest life threatening thing with long term effects are the nuclear plants. We already know that if the big one strikes, people will die. What we do not know is if all tehe 54 nuclear reactors are set ablaze as a result of the earthquake, shall we still have a country called Japan on the map? Have you ever pictured a scenario where all japanese will be nuclear emigrants seeking for asylum all over the earth? With poor planning, this is coming. It is surprizing that the debate is limited on shifting people within Japan. The debate should go further to debate a worse scenario where all the nuclear reactors spew waste and radiation uncontrollably....
plasticmonkey
Quake prediction is heavily funded by the government, so these cats at Todai's ERI are always coming up with these probabilities about the Tokai 'big one' or they lose their funding. Their predictions are based on highly questionable theories about slippage and buildup, and have never been remotely verified. ALL of the lethal quakes in Japan since this prediction business started in earnest have occurred in areas deemed low risk. Tohoku was a 0.1% probability, for example.
Geller is right in criticizing the government's (and their pet researchers') over concentration on a big one hitting Tokyo. Earthquakes are not like the seasons. They do not happen in cycles. While most seismologists in other countries have serious apprehensions about earthquake prediction, the government-sponsored ones in Japan continue to pursue it zealously. And with no verification that it is doable.
Large earthquakes can happen any time, and it is better to be prepared. But putting probabilities on predicting when and where are silly.
TheBigPicture
Since it will kill thousands, I wonder if the scientists are planning to move out of Tokyo themselves.
yildiray
The numbers seem to make this comparatively good news...unless one or both sets of data are wrong?
It's all guess work... they haven't got a clue!
I agree. We've known for a long time now that Tokyo has a good chance of being hit by a very big earthquake. Before 3/11 the story was always that devastating earthquakes have hit Tokyo every 60 years on average so we've been overdue since the 80s. Nothing new here!
Then again, Tokyo might not get hit with "the big one" for another 500 years.
"If there is a devastating quake the richest will leave and buy America"
Then again, if there is a devastating quake, the richest might not survive it.
Serrano, most people have prepared their emergency kits. But did you read the article? It says:
if an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 occurred in the northern part of Tokyo Bay on a weekday evening, around 6,400 people would die, with 160,000 injured.
we will need the emergency kit in case we survive the earthquake. But if we die immediately, we won't need anything right? Even if we prepare blankets and water, it won't help us.
mekki
There may or may not be a big one in Tokyo soon but as long as you continue to predict there will be one long enough you will get it right! Or you get retired which ever comes first!
Fadamor
"The government's estimate that the risk in (this area) is greater than elsewhere is based on a flawed methodology and is completely meaningless," Geller, a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of Tokyo, told AFP.
A. Tokyo sits at the juncture of four fault lines.
B. The physical effects of last year's 9.0 quake DID cause liquification at Disney - Tokyo, so an 8.0 centered on Tokyo can be expected to do the same.
C. The population is 48.8 million (city and metro combined). More than any other location in the country.
D. If another big quake hits while Japan is still trying to recover from the Tohoku quake, the government will be unable to respond in any meaningful way as their resources are tied up in the Tohoku recovery.
So yes, an earthquake in the Tokyo area IS a higher risk than one out in the countryside. It's not "completely meaningless". The problem with geologists is they tend to view risk only in the sense of the chance of something happening, not how many people it happens to.
I think the big one will hit Tokyo this year... I'm sure of it.
Just be prepared, you never know and neither does anyone else, I would prefer to be as prepared as reasonably possible than to not be prepared.
If you are ready with some form of supplies and nothing happens what is the total damage? Maybe 10,000yen or so depending on the extent of what you prepare.
If you do nothing the damage could be emmense as you struggle for survival, imagine 35 million other people all want that bottle of water, that rice ball and that crap paper, what ya gonna do then?
Admittedly you may not be near your earthquake kit when the big one strikes, but then you could well be.
If everyone is prepared then you are never going to be far away from an earthquake kit whether it's yours or someone else's, then it doesnt matter where you are when the big one goes OFF !
If you dont have the mettle to deal with what could happen then you may need to wrap yourself up in cotton wool and consider a trip to Narita.
Qaueckernaeck
Choiwaruoyaji we already wellnigh pity thee.
Spanki
well, duh... what im saying is why bother even lining the reinforced concrete walls?
This could be the most terrifying news article I've ever read in my life. It's amazing that the capital hasn't already been moved elsewhere. Even more amazing that the government is even considering restarting nuclear facilities.
After Tohoku and Fuku. Par for the course!
Japan will survive anything. If there is a devastating quake, the richest will leave and buy America.
bello420
My Japanese co-worker was telling me that if Tokyo has abig earthquake, that Japan would simplystop functioning. All the cell phones would stop working because hte phone companies' headquarters are in Tokyo... and pretty much everything else. I definitely support the second capital as Osaka... a capital running in parallel but at a lower functional operating mode until needed. It makes sense to me.
Jason Gatewood
Just like in Los Angeles, there's always a "big one" round the corner... If the ground shaking every 12 hours didn't tell you that, then don't blame me when it hits and you need water, some rations, and a warm tent to sleep in... I'm prepared, are you?
I am fully prepared with a kit with everything including small change, bills etc. But the problem I foresee, is that if I cannot get here to use the stored goods, then what is the use?
How many people were home during 3/11? Not many from what I saw walking with huge crowds for hours on end.
Hmmm, a 50/50 chance? Is that like heads or tails? Reports like this pop up every few months. I guess one day they will be justified, maybe. However, I don't remember any of these so-called 'geniuses' predicting the March 11 quake. Or, the Kobe quake, for that matter.
If or when the 'big one' does come there is very little you can do about it. Just hope you survive, I suppose. Having a survival kit will only help if you are at home. The March 11 quake showed how inadequate the safety procedures in place actually are. The wheels fell off Tokyo pretty damn quickly and took over a fortnight to recover. As dark as it may sound, kiss your kids every day cos it might just very well be the last time you see them or they see you. Have a nice evening everyone. :P
Sensationalism. It could hit tomorrow, or it could hit in 1000 years. Nobody knows. We don´t know, and those researchers don´t know. Of course, the city has to do everything possible to be prepared. But there is no news value in announcements like this.
The University of Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute says the city, built at the intersection of four tectonic plates, has a 50% chance of suffering a major quake—anything above a magnitude 7.0—in the next four years.
Sigh. Here we go again. AFP is echoing last week's CNN which is echoing the Yomiuri Shimbun of 1/23, which was based on cherry-picked data. This figure is simply not true, even the Todai researchers are scurrying to deny they said it. There will be a big quake, definitely, someday, but nobody knows when.
vinnyfav
Shady numbers aside, the main points of the article remain valid. Japan and Tokyo has to seriously consider the impact of a large scale earthquake hitting the capital in the current status quo, and act now to implement precautions to mitigate the damage. At the same time, the lesson of Fukushima should be at nowhere else except the forefront in consideration of the other nuclear reactors that the country runs on. The last thing anyone needs is scare mongering, but failing to consider the risks and impacts properly will create a repeat of last year's crisis.
mtwildman
A very frightening prediction.
Before I was born I was dead for millions of years and it wasn't so bad, notwithstanding I try to keep a hard hat & survival kit at an arm's length at home and work.
As far as I know, no earthquake has ever really been predicted accurately, scientifically, up front; this whole prediction seems based on pachinko-logic to me; like putting your stack on red when playing roulette. Gotta be right some time, eh?
The Truth Matters
I was told when I first arrived to Japan, with great fanfair, that I was living on borrowed time as the Kanto Plain was already overdue for the big one.
That was in 1991.
My Japanese co-worker was telling me that if Tokyo has abig earthquake, that Japan would simplystop functioning. All the cell phones would stop working because hte phone companies' headquarters are in Tokyo... and pretty much everything else.
While an acquaintance of mine said that if a devastating earthquake in Tokai, Japan's economy would literally stop because most of the car manufacturers' main offices and plants are right here. And we all know that cars are Japan's number 1 product and export.
Not that I'm saying Tokyo's a less important area, but that people have different perspectives of the same scenario. One or both may be true ... or false. Same with earthquake predictions. Some scientists even have a very large time frame of 10-50 or even 200-500 years! Who can dispute their claims?
As for the emergency seat of government if Tokyo does get devastated, it doesn't matter if it's in Osaka, Kyoto, Sapporo, Okinawa or even in Niigata.
Guillaume Varès
With modern technology, it is possible to delocalize government functions anywhere (cloud-based databases, video conferences, etc.). There is no need anymore for such a concentration of power you can observe in Kasumigaseki. In addition to create backup centers in case of emergency, it would also be good to downsize and rationalize the plethoric Japanese administration (no paper policy, online database integration, management reorganization).
Liberty Joe Lowe
This is a useless scaremongering news report for sure Regarding earthquake predicions it appears to me that scientisits are still a long way from predicing quakes as the Tohoku quake was a big shock to them. Unlike what they predicted It might be a shock to them also that no major quakes will happen in Tokyo during everyones life time existing today. We should be prepared always for quakes, survival kits, fire extinguishers etc but get on with day to day life in Tokyo and enjoy
About 5 years ago my crazy ex said that the next big earthquake in Japan would not be in Tokyo but up north. Thats the only thing I can remember that witch ever being right about...
1 thing I dont quite get, which I realised during the march 2011 quake, is why do a lot of office tower block owners insist on plaster board lining their emergency stair wells? Surely the point of an emergency stair well is to provide a quick and safe way out of the building, which if its filled with fallen plaster board it is not!
Faderkinta
If they were really worried they wouldn't shove every headquarters down that way. If this truely was a big concern wouldn't they have diversified the headquarters. Surely, with the internet, face to face meetings need not be so often. Except no one really listen to these things. They are akin to finding out that your favorite food might be carcinogenic. Way too many warning to ever really be taken seriously. Do use the Listerine.
@avimazalto "I AM BEGGING FOR ATTENTION" - I knew I should stop reading right there.
You guys made a mistake. It is a 70% chance. Saw the research myself.
MasterBape
I think it's important to keep publishing these articles. Japanese people are very complacent. The numbers are the same as the last report, but at least they have printed where the quake is expected, Sagami Bay. I did read that the Tohoku quake was 99% expected in the next 30 years(prior to 3/11). But they predicted it wouldn't be as strong as it was and that the Tokai quake was more of a concern. Both Tohoku and Tokai have unleasehed major quakes in the past. Reports were out on 1st September last year and will continue. Expect more when BBC covers the 1-year anniversary.

When I first came to live here in Japan in 1973, Japanese earthquake experts were clearly stating that massive earthquakes struck Tokyo on a cycle of around 50 years, so we were immediately due for a completely destructive follow up of the 1923 giant Kanto earthquake. Well, 39 years later, I'm still waiting. I am, however, slightly questioning that, apart from the "expert's" inability to forecast earthquakes, whether or not the architects and construction companies have learned nothing. We are now 90 years on from the Kanto Dai-jishin, and even if a similar quake hits again, there should be less wholesale destruction. Despite all the rationalization I have just given, however, the main point is that we have no idea of the geological rhythms of our archipelago -- 50 years, could be a pattern or a mere blip on a scale of billions of years. In other words, we have no idea, so why worry? The "experts" in this case, probably no nothing more than the astrologers or other nuts. Of course there is a 50% chance that a massive earthquake COULD hit Tokyo in the next four years — but this also means that there is also a damn good chance that such an earthquake WILL NOT DO SO in the next 4, 40, 400 or even 4000 years. At my age, I'll settle for the next 40.
Greater Tokyo, home to 35 million tightly packed people, has seen a three-fold increase in tectonic activity since the magnitude 9.0 undersea quake that unleashed a killer tsunami last March.
The earth under Tokyo has been slipping three-times as much as before the Tohoku earthquake. Seems to me that's also three-times the rate at which the pressure is building up at a sticky point. Ergo, from whatever chance there was for a "big one" under Tokyo before, now it's three-times more likely. It still could be decades (or centuries) down the road, but all this additional activity isn't DELAYING the next "big one", that's for sure.
Gurukun
Pretty scary stuff. Isn't Mt. Fuji expected to blow soon too?
Gudni Gudnason
No matter what is the truth, there is history of earthquakes in Tokyo area and its likely to hit again for sure. This does not mean that we run, in fact me and my wife are ready. Our household has food, water, propane, electric generator, ham radio, gasoline etc for several months for our household of 6 people, JUST IN CASE! If nothing happens: good, if it does, we are ready! We are not going to make Tokyo a place of fear for us to live, its our home! PEACE
supermonk7
I'd be more concerned with Fujiyama. That thing is dormant, hasn't erupted since Edo, and is due any year now. That thing blows and you can kiss a million people goodbye.

I AM BEGGING FOR ATTENTION. I am a Israeli guy who contacted Japanese scientist Mr. Hayakawa who is in charge of earthquake reserchs in Japan about the recent invention by Israeli scientists. a machine can predict exact pin point of the earthquakes location, magnitude, date and time 3 days a head of earthquake, this machine can also predict the tsunamis location, height and date that will strike the land. however the heavy burocracy in japan dont allow them to purchase such machines from overseas,( I guess they have their pride about being no 1 on earthquake researchs) so anybody who is reading this comment, we can prevent this disaster and save millions of lives, trillions of dollars of damage, and basicly Japanese economy therefore we can save Japan, all I need is a help from somebody who is well connected with government. we have the prototype of the machine settled in Moldova it is 100% accured we can prove that it works, anybody who can contact me from my mail add: avi_mazalto@yahoo.com thank you.
Does it really matter?
You can get hit by a buss crossing the road and dying? Or a similar random incident.
All this worrying about the "worst case scenario" only ages you prematurely and reduces your life-span as would excessive drinking/smoking/etc.
But in your comment, there's no earthquake that would set all the current reactors into meltdowns.
Yes you may be right if you are focused on earthquake alone and if they happen in one place at a time. Even then, if all the 6 reactors at Daiichi had a melt-down, the debate would be different. However, when you take risk analysis of nuclear plants there is more to it. Is it for instace far-fetched to imagine that a terrorist attack can cause damage to several nuclear plants even if distributed in various regions? The sept 11 american scenario is for you!! Who ever imagined that such targets could be struck within such short time? It is not only earthquakes, man! The damn nuclear plants business is quite risky....
garomakaikishi
it will strike this year im sure of it. as per nakajima sans psychic
Ivan Coughanoffalot
I'll probably be marooned on the far side of town if this kicks off in daylight, but my wife and daughter will be in a rock solid building with ten days' worth of supplies in it.
But one can't help but wonder about this downgrading of the numbers. Six weeks ago we were a 30:70 shot, but now it's evens. Yet the article seems to want us to be scared.
Ah well, I suppose if enough people are scared enough to make suitable preparations now, before scrambling for toilet paper five hours too late, this kind of reminder serves its purpose.
a 50% chance of suffering a major quake—anything above a magnitude 7.0—in the next four years.
So this is better than the 70% chance we were given a couple of months ago, then?

Q: Transferring files from unix server to shared folder in cloud through network? I am presently Transferring files from unix server to a shared folder in cloud manually by copying files from unix server and then loading in to cloud shared  folder.I would like to automate this by running a shell script in unix server.Unable to implement with Ftp,scp and ssh protocols as the destination is a shared folder.
Presently I am logging in to unix server through my windows desktop using putty. Now I am connecting to cloud shared folder through mapping network drive (I have cloud path) then copying in to drive where my system is adding as intermediate one. Now I want to make this movement directly with a worksheduler where the script runs in the unix by which the files must be moved to cloud.

A: rsync path/*.txt server2:/path
The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the differences between two sets of files across the network link.
Also for copying from the local machine to a remote machine using a remote shell program as the transport (such as rsh or ssh). This is invoked when the destination path contains a single : separator.

Pop quiz! Name the Fort Worth public schools in the top three photos.
School 1.
Stumped? You should be. These are the original buildings of schools that have expanded over the decades until these original buildings have been surrounded. Some history:
School 1 is Richard J. Wilson Elementary. In 1914, when the South Fort Worth school district built South Fort Worth School. Fort Worth annexed the area of South Fort Worth school district in 1922, and the school eventually became Richard J. Wilson Elementary.
Over the years Fort Worth ISD added the wings and the other buildings until today the original building (outlined in yellow in the aerial photo) is almost surrounded, only the top of the second story visible at ground level from certain angles.
School 2 is Hubbard Heights Elementary School on West Spurgeon Street.
The original (1922) six-classroom building of Hubbard (outlined in yellow in the aerial photo) still stands, now surrounded by additions and almost hidden from ground level. I climbed a Dumpster to peek over an addition to see the roof of the original building.
School 3 is R. L. Paschal High School on Forest Park Boulevard.
Originally the school was to be named "Southwest Junior High School," and, as this 1935 clip shows, the school we know as "Rosemont Junior High" was to be named "McLean Junior High." But instead the school on Forest Park Boulevard, built concurrently with Rosemont, opened in 1936 as "W. P. McLean Junior High School." Then, in 1954, the McLean school moved to a new building on Stadium Drive, and the building on Forest Park Boulevard became Paschal High School in 1955 when Paschal moved from what is now the Green B. Trimble Tech building on Cannon Street. With me so far? It's complicated.
Now the old McLean Junior High building is surrounded by newer buildings of Paschal High. The arrow in the aerial photo points to the gable of the front of the original building (School 3), which now forms a wall of a courtyard behind the entrance of Paschal on Forest Park Boulevard.

I absolutely love this site. My grandfather attended South Ft. Worth Elementary in the early 1920's and I as well as my mom attended R.L.Pascal High School.
Thanks, Christina. I still remember when I discovered that there even WAS a South Fort Worth school district, much less that its school is now enclosed by newer buildings.

Mike, hometownbyhandlebar has just become my favorite site. I always lookforward to sharing you latest post on FB with my wife. We are both native Fort Worthers but have learned so much about our home town from you.

TBS Orders Two More Seasons Of 'Full Frontal'
2.8 Avg User Rating
Air Dates
Feb 08, 2016 - Present
Comedy / Talk
Host - Samantha Bee
*Commissions are earned for purchases made through Cast links.
The comedic late-night series is picked up through 2020.
TBS announced today that Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has been renewed for two additional seasons. This means that the weekly news comedy program will be on the air to cover not only this year's midterm elections, but the 2020 election season as well.
The two-year pickup is really a no-brainer for the network considering the country's continued heightened interest in the political landscape. Considering the show's launch in 2016 came at a perfect time to see it reach the level of success it has, it only makes sense to keep it on the air through to what will surely be an intensely-followed run up to the next presidential election.
Longtime Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee hosts the show, using her unique comedic voice to give a nuanced view of current political and cultural issues. Over its first two seasons Full Frontal has become the fastest-growing late-night show on TV, with each episode averaging 4 million total viewers across the network's linear, video-on-demand, and digital platforms.
'Full Frontal' Renewed For Season 6
TBS Renews 'Full Frontal'

this show is soooo good.
The fac that "my 600-lb life" gets higher ratings merely proves a lot about hte average person and really not related to samantha beees show. You may not like samantha bee, but my 600lb life? wtf? a house flipping show contributes more to society in that it doesn't have a negative effect like my 600lb life, lol.
monkeys watch reality shows.
Honey Openwider
My 600 pound life gets better ratings than this show and they renew it. This sums up what is so wrong with TV. Anyone want a TV show on cable? Bad mouth President Trump
TonyD.
Because there aren't enough uninformed 'comedians' recycling 'jokes'. She should go get a job at cnn
01/12/18 at 10:53am
I used to be okay with Samatha Bee and John Oliver before the elections, but since then all they seem to be able to do is attack Trump. Its like dealing with a toddler who keeps telling you the same joke over and over... sorry, but i wont be watching anymore...
Gurnett
Samantha Bee is fantastic. She is smart and brave. I don't always agree with her opinions, but I'm certainly OK with her expressing them. She covers stories that aren't covered anywhere else on TV.
Trump Fan 22
This poor excuse of an American needs to go back to waiting tables a the strip club. Get off of my TV you big dope!!!
I use to like this show and then it went to sh**. I quit watching it and was surprised to see it renewed. Still won't be watching it so it won't matter to me if it get renewed another few seasons.
Is this, uh, is this necessary?
This is sad for tbs, usually I enjoy the shows on their network but this one comes off as contentious & condescending. Most importantly it is supposed to be a comedy but is not funny, very one dimensional. Also before the lunatics start calling me names, I did not vote for Trump! I simply am sick of the conformity in Hollywood & especially the lack of originality..

I always so excited about photos from the banquet after the competition. Really want to see everyone in such informal atmosphere and well dressed! Here're some photos that I've found.
Team Canada! Kaitlyn and Andrew are so gorgeous! I also like Patrick's shirt!
Javier Fernandez, Ashley Wagner and Adam Rippon. Ashley looks damn hot!


We entrertained Woodbridge School at home, in tough wet and cold conditions. Ipswich started strongly, creating a one goal lead after George Morris finished at the near post on the end of a Jacob Kite cross. Woodbridge pegged us back quickly before the break with a great strike. We defended strongly all game however, and our efforts were rewarded after Chris Britnell played through Seb Carreiro-Smith, who danced sprightly past two defenders before tidily finishing six minutes from time. Despite a spirited response from Woodbridge in the dying minutes we deservedly held out to secure our second win in a row in this transitional season. Defensively Miles Salt and Adam Fairhead were impressive throughout however a man of the man performance, from Chris Britnell which enabled us, to secure a great victory, with a determined central midfield display. We look forward with great expectation, to our next fixture, away at Greshams.

Reel Big Fish music lyrics
Reel Big Fish ("RBF") is a ska punk band from Huntington Beach, California, United States who broke into the mainstream in the mid to late 1990s, formed in 1992. Their debut album, "Everything Sucks" (1995), was an underground hit and led to a deal with MOJO RECORDS (see also Mojo), an indie label. "Turn The Radio Off" (1996) established the band in the underground music scene, and they began touring throughout the USA. After the single "Sell Out" began breaking into the mainstream, including MTV, the album made an appearance on the charts. The ska revival was short-lived, however, and "Why Do They Rock So Hard?" (1998) did not lead the group to the mainstream. Reel Big Fis...

The European Qualifications framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF) has recommended that organisations working at EU level should use the reference levels and principles of the EQF in order to design coordinated training and qualification standards. EQF has indicated that such harmonization should take place through the development of sectorial qualification frameworks (SQFs) such as Coast Guard Functions cooperation. This will increase the employability, mobility and lifelong learning of personnel related to Coast Guard Functions.
The idea to develop a Coast Guard Functions Sectorial Qualifications Framework (CGFSQF) was launched within the European Coast Guard Functions Forum. Development of the CGFSQF is a multi-year process where the end goal of the CGFSQF is to function as a set of common standards for CGF education to assure quality of training and teaching and to be applied on a voluntary basis.
Development of the CGFSQF is very much supported by the ECGF Training Network, it being mentioned in the Network's Statement of Intent document as one of the Network's main areas of activities.
A dedicated SQF working group was appointed to develop the framework under the leadership of the Italian Coast Guard. The SQF wortking group comprised of experts from the Italian Coast Guard, Spanish Maritime Safety and Rescue Agency, Finnish Border Guard, Hellenic Coast Guard, Spanish Customs, Portuguese National Republican Guard and the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency. The French Customs participated in the work during the 2nd project phase.
The work was also supported by project observers Frontex, EMSA and EFCA. Additionally, the Italian Coast Guard procured CIMEA, Information Centre on Academic Mobility and Equivalence as external expert to support in the development work.
The experts tell about their experience and thoughts of the CGFSQF in the video below.


Sometimes referred to as ponds, water gardens are a mirror of nature that can be naturalistic and free from in shape or contemporary and formal with clean lines and right angles. A complete ecosystem, we use a combination of wetland (bog) filters, mechanical filters, skimmers, aquatic plants & fish, and biological filters in the correct proportion.
Water is becoming a necessity in any well-designed landscape. Our team of trained professionals can turn everyday items into custom fountains for both indoor and outdoor use. Or if you have a favorite piece of art that you would love to see enhanced by moving water, we can make it happen, too.
These peaceful features allow you to enjoy all the benefits, beauty, and sound of a waterfall, but without a pond at the bottom. In addition to a virtually maintenance free backyard water feature, pondless waterfalls are also great for high traffic areas such as schools, corporate entrances, restaurants, and golf courses.

Can we go 'cashless', how?
In simple terms, transaction of amount from person to person or between organisations without any cash or bill but through credit cards, cheques, bank transactions, apps, wallets or any other electronic system is known as cashless-transaction.
The Central government has a dream to free-up India from cash transaction. Dhase village of Thane district of Maharashtra already following the cashless transaction system with the help of Bank of Baroda and a SHG. Even in South India Ibrahimpur village of Telangana state is known for cashless transaction. Recently you might have read news about a paper seller in Kadur who is following cashless transaction to support the government. But the government believes that all 5 lakh villages of the country can do it.
There are challenges. If you want to pay a bill through online transaction, few officials tell that it becomes difficult for them to pay receipt. Few even put board that they don't entertain debit cards or swiping machine is not working. However, now atmosphere is changing.
Problem of theft, robbery, fake note, losing the cash, cheating are less.
We can maintain accuracy in the transaction as amount will be paid from the bank.
All legal hurdles which appear in business can be avoided.
Everyone can inculcate commitment towards sincere business.
Payment through cheque: This is very simple and already being followed by the people. We have to write the concerned person's name and amount in the cheque with a signature. When amount is big, usually this old method is followed.
Demand draft: This is also one of the old methods which still in use for cash transfer, usually when amount is big. One can take demand draft from the account and transfer it to any corner of the country.
Online transaction: RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) and NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) systems help for online cash transfer. With the help of internet banking, we can handle our bank accounts online. This is a simple and safe way for fund transfer and we can get reply from the banks within seconds. By giving cheques or slips in banks, one can perform RTGS or NEFT.
Debit cards/ Credit cards: Banks provide cards for transactions which can be used in ATMs also can be used for cashless transactions.
Debit cards: Debit cards can be used to utilize the money which is in our account.
Credit cards: With credit card, we can spend more money than in our account (according to the limitations of banks) and later we can credit the amount to the banks. Both cards are used with the help of swiping machine, which would ask PIN or finger print.
Mobile wallet/mobile app: With the help of few interface applications, cashless transactions can be done using smart phone and internet facility. There is no need of credit card or debit card internet banking password. If you transfer money to mobile wallet using IMPS, later you can pay from there.
E-wallet: Through few interface applications in the internet facility, you can transfer money. Here mainly your credit card or debit card link should be registered under e-wallet. One who gives the service should also use e-wallet for business. Here transfer of money is very easy.
Few examples for e-wallets/ mobile wallets: PayTm, Momoe, PayUMoney Mobikwik, Citrus, State Bank Buddy, Citi Master Pass, HDFC Chillr, Lime, Free charge, Airtel Money, Vodafone-m-pesa, Oxigen Wallet, Venmo, Paypal, Google Wallet, Facebook Messenger etc.
United Payment Interface (UPI) App: Smart phones are enough for financial transactions. Here we can enter the information of person to transfer money. There is a need of current account for the purpose.
Eg: BHIM App, Axis Pay UPI App, Union Bank UPI App, PNB UPI etc.
Aadhar Enabled Payment System (AEPS): This works as a micro ATM. Here cash transfer can be done with the help of a smart phone and thumb impression scanning. For this, every Aadhar number should be submitted to the bank.
Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD): With this bank transaction can be done without the help of smart phone and internet connection. This is of mobile banking service and banking transaction can be done by dialing *99# from any mobile, in any bank.
All above systems are simple, however people can opt any one according to their need or facilities available. Internet facility available in the aria, knowledge about e-wallet, mobile- wallet, mobile banking, importance given by the government departments to online transactions, involvement of private vendors, protection for the data, methods to solve problems are also considered. Along with fear, there is lack of awareness about cashless transaction among rural people.
Organising awareness programmes through self-help groups. Street plays can be used.
Government departments should cancel the cash payment step-by-step. Few payments must be done online.
In city municipal council, town municipal council and gram panchayat limits vendors should be motivated to use swipe machines. Machine should made mandatory while giving the license itself.
Improving the knowledge about technology among general public. Training should be given on the use of simple mobile apps through Financial Literacy Centres.
Lead banks and local self-help groups should motivate people to open bank accounts and get cards.
For mobile banking, good internet facility is must. So effort should be put on increasing the capacity of internet in rural areas.
Most of all, we should open heartedly welcome the positive steps taken by the Central government to curb corruption and circulation of black money. Let's join hands with the government for the development of the nation. Let's make our coming generation proud by switching over to cashless transaction.

If you know me well, you would have probably noticed that I've always loved styling my outfits with jackets. My love for jackets just never seems to fade, and is still growing ever so strongly. I am particularly obsessed with oversized jackets because they simply make you look effortlessly cool. On the other hand, bomber jackets have been my absolute favourite statement piece since last year, denim jackets and biker jackets will always be staples in my wardrobe, and not forgetting souvenir jackets - the trend that I just can't stay away from this year.
Basically, I just have a thing for jackets.
And Wardrobemess, being the early Santa, sent me some new jackets last week! They recently reeled in a new collection of jackets: ranging from the very popular bomber jackets to denim and leather jackets. I had a pretty hard time choosing my favourite designs - everything just looks so appealing to me. I can't decide my favourite, so what about you helping me to pick one? Comment away!
The denim jacket and also the black one is very nice.. I love it!!

This book focuses on a diverse selection of people who have crossed the border between North and South Korea and also assesses the citizenship they acquire based on emotional affiliation rather than constitutional delineation. It details how these individuals use their physical bodies and emotions as "optimal frontiers," and shows how they resist the state's right to draw geopolitical borders and define their national identities. It highlights the fact that, although the Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ) is one of the most heavily guarded places on earth, it also provides passage for thousands of defectors, spies, political emissaries, war prisoners, activists, tourists and others testing the limits of Korean division. The book draws on sources that range from North Korean documentary films, museum exhibitions, and theatre productions. It also uses protester perspectives and interviews with South Korean officials and activists. In this way, it recasts the history of Korean division and draws a nuanced portrait of the region's Cold War legacies. The book ultimately helps readers conceive of the DMZ as a dynamic summation of personalized experiences rather than as a fixed site of historical significance.Less

Writing a VFD? VCPR definition requires vets to have 'sufficient knowledge' of herd
Swine veterinarians issuing a veterinary feed directive (VFD) are expected to comply with the federal definition of a veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR) or their state definition if it contains the key elements of the federal definition.
One key element of the federal VCPR definition requires veterinarians to have have "sufficient knowledge" of animals to provide at least a general or preliminary diagnosis of their medical condition. FDA expands upon that definition in its updated VFD rule.1
A VCPR relationship exists, the agency says, only when the veterinarian has recently seen and is personally acquainted with the keeping and care of the animals by examining them or by making medically appropriate and timely visits to the premises where the animals are kept.
Most swine veterinarians have ongoing relationships with their clients and the animals being treated, FDA says. They are also familiar with the individual animal-production operations and have made previous visits to the producers' facilities. The VCPR also allows veterinarians to provide education to producers about medications, including storage, use and withdrawal times, FDA says.
"FDA expects that a veterinarian will only authorize use of a VFD feed in animals for which he or she has such knowledge and familiarity," according to the final VFD rule.
Most states incorporate the knowledge or acquaintance criterion in their VCPR definitions, the agency says. They also provide detail that's similar to the federal definition. Some states are even more detailed and specify the time period in which the animal must have been seen by the veterinarian, FDA says.
A few states don't have knowledge or acquaintance criterion but instead require the veterinarian to examine the animals or a representative segment of the herd. Thus, in most states, the VCPR requirements regarding responsibility are the same or similar to the current federal definition.
If swine veterinarians are not sure which VCPR definition to follow, they should check the FDA's reference list to see which applies.

The country's outlook is positive, but policymakers have to do more to withstand risks from global financial systems, and stay vigilant.
The global recovery has been fueling inflation across the world. This has led to rising speculations about whether industrial nations will reverse their monetary policy stance. Over the past decade, the central banks of the United States, European Union, and Japan, among others, have embarked on ultralow interest rates and have been rapidly expanding their balance sheets, more so after the pandemic, to inject liquidity and stimulate their economies. Consequently, global liquidity is at an all-time high (figure 1). Low bond yields have compelled global investors to turn toward emerging nations with stronger economic prospects, including India.
The reversal of easy monetary policies is inevitable; if not this year, industrial nations will reduce the stimulus and raise policy rates in the coming years. Emerging markets with high debt could witness a reversal of capital flows as investors seek safer havens during market volatility. As echoed by International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief economist, the pandemic has led to a sharp increase in public and private sector debt, which can create financial risks and have macroprudential implications.
Back in the summer of 2013, markets in emerging economies went on a rollercoaster ride as investors worldwide started selling risky assets from emerging markets, including India. What led to a "sky is falling" reaction among investors was an indication by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) of a possible reduction in its monetary policy stimulus.1

The question then is, will history repeat itself or is India fundamentally strong enough to deal with the uncertainty associated with the Fed's actual tapering that starts later in November?
What we know from past experiences is that the extent of vulnerability varies across emerging economies depending on investors' risk perception. That, in turn, is influenced by nations' relative economic performances and fundamentals. During 2013, the economies that belonged to the weaker end of the performance spectrum, including India, were punished the most by investors.2
However, the situation is much different today. A comparison of economic parameters suggests that India's fundamentals are now relatively strong.
How India ranks vis-à-vis its peers
At a time when pandemic uncertainties linger, it won't be a surprise if investors get ahead of themselves, anticipating with confidence that the taper of bond-buying programs will result in higher borrowing costs, impacting asset valuations. A possible consequence could be that investors worldwide start pulling money back to the United States by selling risky assets, mostly from the emerging markets, in favor of US securities and cash. Emerging markets that have grown accustomed to unprecedented flows of short-term capital from abroad will have to be prepared for the potential impact of liquidity shortages and uncertainties once the central banks decide to turn the liquidity tap off.
The impact across emerging nations will, however, differ based on the strength of their underlying economic fundamentals. We analyzed the movements in key economic parameters of emerging economies during the most vulnerable periods in 2020 when the world was reeling under the first few waves of the pandemic, as well as any ensuing recovery to date.
Figure 2 shows that while local currencies in all these economies depreciated against the US dollar in 2020, most economies have gained some of the lost ground since then, with India's currency being among the better-performing ones. Extreme currency volatilities compelled the policy authorities of these economies to urgently intervene to correct the course of depreciation. China and Vietnam are exceptions—their currencies appreciated against the US dollar in 2020.
Even though high demand for US treasuries drove down bond rates at the peak of the crisis in 2020, only a few economies witnessed a sharp widening of the interest rate spread with respect to the 10-year benchmark rate of the United States, suggesting rising risks associated with holding sovereign assets of those few nations (figure 3a). As a result, not all economies saw a rapid sovereign sell-off.3 India was the only nation whose yield spread (vis-à-vis the United States) did not deteriorate after February 2020. India is also the only nation that has seen its 10-year sovereign yield decline since January 2020, despite pandemic-related uncertainties (figure 3b).
The trajectory of the yield suggests that risks associated with sovereign borrowings have declined and India's creditworthiness has improved despite the deep economic recession and uncertainties. This may be an outcome of a relatively stronger economic outlook and stable domestic currency, all of which have improved investor confidence for India.
Capital markets across the world were badly hit post the onset of the pandemic, although the steepest decline was in February 2020, except in Turkey. Fierce asset sell-off and a sudden outflow of portfolio investment led to a sharp fall in equity prices. The markets have stabilized since, but the improvement has varied significantly across nations. Many emerging nations have not been able to reverse the stock market trends yet.
The capital markets of two nations have stood out in reversing the trend and are growing aggressively—India and Vietnam. This probably indicates that a portion of capital withdrawn from all other nations flowed into these two economies as global corporations explored alternate investment destinations to diversify the supply chain.
Robust foreign investment inflows resulted in strong growth in the Indian capital market as investors' risk perception of India as an alternate investment destination improved. India was among the very few nations that witnessed strong foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2020 and the momentum has continued in 2021. Recent reforms and policies to further liberalize FDI in a few sectors such as insurance, agriculture, telecommunications services, and defense have attracted global investors. Schemes such as the production-linked incentive (PLI) and labor reforms have increased foreign interest in several investable. Besides, the national monetization pipeline of brownfield assets is likely to generate investment interests and attract foreign capital.
One of the key concerns for policymakers in emerging economies is the probable impact of capital outflows on the current account balances of the nations. This is because foreign inflows—both direct and portfolio—aid in bridging the deficit gap, if any, and capital outflows can put the external balance at risk. While the pandemic has led to a significant improvement in the current account balance of almost all emerging countries, India's improvement since 2013 is noticeable. Even though improving economic activity and higher commodity prices will result in a rising deficit, it will likely remain range-bound, given the strong growth in the country's exports. Besides, India's foreign exchange reserves have increased 2.3 times since 2013, and the country's import cover of more than 18 months provides a cushion against unforeseen external shocks.4
In other words, India's current account position will not be challenged in case there is an outflow of capital because of the global liquidity squeeze.
The improved economic fundamentals are a reflection of India's underlying structural changes addressed since 2013. India is one of the few economies that has improved its global competitiveness index significantly. Over the last two decades, India has successfully moved away from agriculture and leapfrogged into the services sector, which now contributes close to 55% of its GDP. That said, the recent emphasis on manufacturing and reforms are enabling the business environment and the ecosystem to boost the sector's contribution to income and employment.5
India's prospects and risks
Can India maintain its solid economic fundamentals vis-à-vis its peers in the medium term as the world emerges out of the pandemic's shadow? This question is important because, barring any surprise, advanced economies have tailored their communication about closing the liquidity tap gradually over the next few years. This will, inevitably, lead to capital outflows and India will need stronger economic parameters to withstand the impending pressure.
The most important criteria for risk assessment of an economy as an investment destination are its growth outlook and stability. Economies with high growth and low inflation are usually deemed as low-risk and high-return investment destinations. Strong growth increases the probability of higher returns on investment, while low inflation prevents erosion of the value of their investment returns in the long run.
India is projected to be one of the world's fastest-growing economies and is well-positioned relative to its peers based on their real economic growth in 2022. However, growth is likely to be lopsided as the contact-intensive services sector will bounce back with a lag. Inflation has been a persistent concern in India throughout the pandemic and is likely to remain so owing to a strong recovery, continued supply disruptions and constraints, and high commodity prices. Besides, it will face stiff competition for foreign capital resources from its Asian peers, where high growth is expected to be associated with low inflation (figure 8).
The other challenge is the high fiscal deficit incurred by the Indian government during the pandemic and its impact on the rising debt (figure 9). The pressure on the fiscal side in the absence of counterbalancing measures may impact sovereign ratings, and lead to higher yields and borrowing costs. Rising debt servicing costs could be a potential problem for the government and financial sector. Thankfully, India is well-positioned with respect to reserves as well as the share of external debt and debt denominated in dollars is low, which bolsters the country's standing.
India is better placed to handle outflows
As the US Fed begins to taper the pace of its asset purchases, it has hinted it will be patient in reversing its monetary policy, and so would be the European Central Bank (ECB).6 However, it will be naïve to believe that risks in the global financial system won't impact India in case there is a surprise. What we know is that the Fed's "taper tantrum" episode in 2013 has played an important role in correcting the very economic fundamentals that had whirled the economy into a rollercoaster ride.
The influx of foreign capital and its impact on assets pricing has been recognized by policymakers, and they are vigilant. The Reserve Bank of India is more prudent and will be proactive to respond to capital outflows. However, the government will have to put the pedal to the metal on reforms and asset monetization to ensure a stronger rebound.

Multidrug resistance pumps (MDR pumps) also known Multidrug efflux pumps are a type of efflux pump and P-glycoprotein. MDR pumps in the cell membrane extrudes many foreign substances out of the cells and some pumps can have a broad specificity.  MDR pumps exist in animals, fungi, and bacteria and likely evolved as a defense mechanism against harmful substances. There are seven families of MDRs and are grouped by homology, energy source, and overall structure.

There are five major classes of efflux pumps in bacteria: the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily, the resistance nodulation division (RND) superfamily, the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), the small multidrug resistance (SMR) superfamily, and the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family. There are also two minor classes: the proteobacterial antimicrobial compound efflux (PACE) family, and the p-aminobenzoyl-glutamate transporter (AbgT) family. The ABC superfamily uses ATP as an energy source for export while the rest of the efflux pumps use proton motive force. Between them, the efflux pump classes cover a wide range of substrate specificities and are involved in numerous cellular processes including cell-to-cell communication, biofilm formation, virulence, and impart cellular protection through extrusion of toxic metabolic byproducts, toxic compounds, and clinical antibiotics.

Extrusion of compounds by efflux pumps is energy dependent. ABC transporters use ATP hydrolysis for efflux. The rest of the characterized pumps use proton motive force. The increased use in antibiotics has resulted in a concomitant increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria. Pathogenic bacterial and fungal species have developed MDR pumps which efflux out many antibiotics and antifugals, increasing the concentration needed for their effect. In bacteria, overexpression of some efflux pumps can result in decreased susceptibility to multiple antibiotics.

Because of their importance in drug evasion such as in antibiotic resistance, there is a growing about of research on Efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs). Many promising EPIs come from plant secondary metabolites and small molecule compounds.

AJ Baker, Epta driving CO2 innovations in warm Australia
By Devin Yoshimoto, Apr 18, 2017, 11:28 • 3 minute reading
Counting on a successful history of cooperation, AJ Baker and EPTA are looking for further expansion of CO2 in Australia with Epta's new Full Transcritical Efficiency designed for warm climates.
Epta launched the FTE concept at EuroShop 2017
Amid plans to phase down HFCs in Australia, AJ Baker & Sons and Italy's Epta Group are together increasing the installation of natural refrigerant-based systems in the sunny country, with over 300 cascade CO2 installations, six CO2 liquid recirculation plants, and most recently, 10 transcritical CO2 installations up and running. Next will be the official launch of Epta's latest innovation designed for warm climates, the Full Transcritical Efficiency (FTE) concept.
Steve Laing, national commercial manager at Epta Australia, and Mike Baker, managing director of Australia-based AJ Baker & Sons, told Accelerate Australia & NZ how their history of close collaboration has led to world-class innovation and how their results are having an effect on the entire natural refrigerant industry.
None of this was built overnight. The foundations of their success, says Laing, are a combination of time and communications. "The relationship between Epta and AJ Baker has evolved over the course of 20+ years of close collaboration," Baker said.
"The success is built around transparency, with a strong communication channel – particularly with CO2 technology, which is constantly evolving. We have to rapidly leverage from one another's experience," Epta's Laing explained.
Baker says that AJ Baker & Sons – which is based in Perth and has branches in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Bunbury – is able to leverage the know-how Epta brings from Europe to provide their customers with the best possible solutions and to give their business a competitive advantage.
Climate: Presenting challenges and opportunities
The Australian climate presents many challenges, but also many opportunities. Baker reveals how AJ Baker addressed these obstacles via several different methods.
"Our ten transcritical CO2 installations, which we've been able to in most of the [main] cities in Australia, have allowed us to look at different climatic conditions, different store sizes and different measures of gas cooler outlet temperature control, which is one of the most important things with transcritical CO2 in high ambient temperatures," Baker said.
Laing reveals that the varied climate in Australia has proved to be a great test basin for adapting CO2 technology to different conditions.
"System designs across the country have varying configurations to adapt to local conditions. We have sites with high-pressure sub-coolers, adiabatic assistance, and pre-coolers," he said.
Baker adds: "We are also installing parallel compression systems with 60 bar liquid as part of our ongoing system engineering."
"We need to cater for ambient conditions from 0°C to 47°C air on to gas coolers so we are always testing new technologies that have the potential to add to the overall system performance," he said.
This culture of constant testing and innovation led to one of Epta's most recent innovation – the Full Transcritical Efficiency (FTE) concept – which debuted at EuroShop 2017.
The company currently has 13 systems operating to this blueprint in Europe and Australia, yet much of the testing was done in Australia.
With Australia having higher ambient [temperature] conditions, this created an opportunity to conduct a field trial with AJ Baker to test Epta's new FTE (Full Transcritical Efficiency)."
– Steve Laing, Epta Australia
"With Australia having the higher ambient conditions, this created an opportunity to conduct a field trial with AJ Baker to test Epta's new FTE – commissioned north of Perth in October 2016 – which was released at EuroShop," said Laing.
"We're lucky enough to be one of the pioneers in Australia with the guys in Europe. We had one on trial since September last year," said Baker.
"With the newly launched FTE system and the trials conducted over the previous 18 months, we are now able to prove to retailers that we can maintain efficiency in high ambients with transcritical CO2 in a simplified format," added Laing.
"Epta & AJ Baker will continue to drive the technology in collaboration, further strengthening their partnership and ultimately supporting the retailer's investments," he said.

Q: Websphere Application Server - HTTPClient - SSL Peer unathenticated I'm consuming a REST Service on WAS using Apache HTTPClient.
This is HTTPS (PKI) and Target security is trusted in WAS Trust store and
SSL certificate and key management > Manage endpoint security configurations > OutBound > http >SSLConfiguration is pointed to correct SSLConfigraiton (using the trust store where target cert is trusted ).
But, when I invoke target service using HTTP Client, I 'm getting peer not authenticated.
When I go through various forms, I see suggestions like point loading SSLContext in code.,
But isn't every HTTP out bound from my JVM ( WAS Server ) should be validated at my trust store (which is set at WAS SSL Certificate and Key Management )
Am'I missing something else?
Please suggest.

A: I had this issiue too
I solved it with the default SSLSocketFactory. This allows your HttpClient to use the Truststore from your Websphrere. This code is for HttpClient version 4.2 with the newer Versions you could do this directly with the Builder class i think.
    // register default SSLSocketFactory to use SSL Certificates from Websphere
    javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory wasSslFactory = (javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory) javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
    org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory socketFactory = new org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory(wasSslFactory, org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory.ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER);
    Scheme scheme = new Scheme("https", 443, socketFactory);
    httpClient.getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(scheme);

A: For authenticating SSL connections, WAS presents an SSL certificate which is a self-signed certificate by default. In such a case, you need to import the root certificate from WAS to the trust store that is being used by the HTTPClient program.
You can refer to this link from the IBM Knowledge Center for more information on SSL implemented by WebSphere.
To answer your second question, outbound connections are validated using the WAS trust store. In your case, you are using HTTPClient to trigger a service on WAS. This would be defined as an inbound connection from the WAS perspective.

NOW: RECLAMATION • PUBLIC FORUM • BRICK CLEANING • LOOK AFTER A BRICK • NEXT SESSIONS: 1-29 November 2014.
Hopefully I'll be able to replace them by Wed. If planning on coming from 5th Nov onwards, please phone/e-mail to confirm.
If you're planning on coming, let me know for numbers – I've currently got tools for 15 people to be working at a time. Though only workspace for 5 (due to theft of timber from the site). If anyone has a table they can lend to the project, please get in touch!
Tools, safetywear and basic refreshment provided. Warm work clothes + sturdy shoes/boots recommended. Free parking on-site.
If you're not used to outdoor manual labour, it's recommended to do 2 hours max.
Additional hours can be arranged – e.g. Sundays, though aiming to give local residents Sundays off from brick banging.
Over the summer, Jen will be preparing the bricks and the site. All welcome to come and 'look after a brick' — and contribute towards working out the shape and future of The Wall – where it will be positioned, how it will look – leading up to the final Reconstruction event (date tbd).
18 Aug 2014: Jamie Robinson (KHOM) with brick number 1. Photo: Pam Van-Damned Visuals.
The Wall began as an idea – in short, to move a wall.
The following link to Islington Mill's JULY 2013 programme describes the work as it was intended when going to print. Due to the logistics of the site, the phases of dismantling and community involvement have evolved to become a more gradual process to take place in stages over the next year. Between The Wall's future dismantling and reconstruction, The Wall will exist through a series of community-driven events. Their shape and form will evolve through what is hoped to be a growing network of local support – culminating in the Reconstruction 'Rave' in spring 2015.
This website is being developed to enable these events, for local groups and individuals whose interests are sympathetic to those raised by The Wall – e.g. art, regeneration, collective empowerment, DIY, music, social space, local heritage and future. To keep informed, get in touch via the contact details on the left.

Pacman the Game That Saved Atari The Story of an Iconic Video Game
If you're a fan of classic video games, Pac-Man needs no introduction. But if you're curious about the story behind this iconic game, you might be surprised to learn how it came about and why it was so popular. Read on to learn about the game that saved Atari and became an international sensation!
Pacman The Game That Saved Atari: The Story of an Iconic Video Game
Pac-Man was one of the first games to use a maze-like board, and it ushered in a new era of gaming. The original title for Pac-Man was actually Puck-Man, which is where the iconic yellow disc shape comes from. The game was originally released in Japan as an arcade game, but it wasn't until later that it made its way onto home consoles like Nintendo and Atari.
The game was so popular that people began referring to their own mazes as "Pac-Mazes," and even today people call any maze with multiple paths "a Pac."
Smash the ghosts, eat all the dots, and get a high score! For more than 30 years, video game players have sung this mantra as they've played Pac-Man. It's a game that has been equally popular with the young and old, male and female.
Pac-Man is a video game featuring a yellow character named Pac-Man. The object of the game is to eat all the dots in the maze and avoid the ghosts that chase you. This may sound simple, but it's actually quite challenging! When you play with a friend, it becomes even more fun because you can race each other to see who can get the highest score first.
How Did Pac-Man Start?
Pac-Man is a classic arcade game that was first released in 1980, and it was designed by Toru Iwatani. The name "Pac-Man" was derived from the Japanese phrase paku-paku, which means "to open and close one's mouth."
Originally, Pac-Man was going to be called Puck Man but due to copyright issues with Namco's video game Galaxian, Atari changed the name of their game to avoid legal problems. Pac-Man was first released in Japan on May 22nd 1980 as an arcade machine; however it wasn't until 1981 when it made its way over here to America where it became a household name thanks to Atari's marketing efforts and clever viral marketing campaigns such as giving away T-shirts if you could collect all 3 bonus fruits at once (which is still possible today).
We think of it as a classic now, but when Namco first released Pac-Man in 1980, people weren't so sure about it. An arcade game that revolved around eating as many tiny dots as possible? Not very exciting from the outside looking in.
Pac-Man was released in 1980 and became a huge success. It was a video game that revolved around eating dots, but the game wasn't very exciting from the outside looking in.
From its humble origins as an experiment by Namco engineer Toru Iwatani to help save his company from bankruptcy, Pac-Man went on to become one of the most famous video games ever made, inspiring dozens of sequels, spinoffs and remakes over the past 35 years.
But gamers quickly fell in love with the appealing gameplay and adorable graphics. The best part was that players didn't have to master complicated controls to have fun with it. All they had to do was move their little yellow man around the maze.
The simplistic nature of Pac-Man has made it so popular over the years, but there are many other reasons why this game became one of the most iconic games ever made:
So, how did this simple game rise to become one of the most iconic titles in history? Pretty much everyone has heard about Pac-Man, but most people don't know the full story. So with that in mind, we've put together this guide on what makes Pac-Man such an icon and why it continues to be so popular today.

The International Affairs Committee of the Association of Irish Riding Clubs (AIRC) has confirmed the team to represent the Association at the British Riding Clubs (BRC) NAF National Championships in September.
Killossery Riding Club, will for the first time, travel to the Lincolnshire Show grounds for the NAF Senior Open Team and Individual Championship on Saturday 2nd September where they will compete against the best riding clubs in Britain.
The team includes Lisa Kennedy (Dunsoughly Nelson), Brian Cassidy (Looks Easy), Jacqui Boland (Maverick Na Ri) and Aoife Maguire (Mane Attraction).
Last year, Carne Riding Club finished in fifth place overall while Ann Lambert took a podium finish on Killinick Bouncer in third place. The Association has previously won the BRC team championship when Greenhills Riding Club won the title in 2010.
The Chef d'Equipe has also been confirmed as Susan Cusack, who is a former secretary of the Dublin based club.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for them to gain international experience and I wish them a safe and enjoyable trip," he added.
The British Riding Clubs NAF National Championships take place on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd September at the Lincolnshire Showgrounds in Lincoln, England.
Tara Hills Sally Cunningham won the Connolly's Red Mills Open & Advanced Open Championship after a eight-way jump-off.
