From deciding what to do with the baby in your body, to electing to follow certain religious beliefs, people have many rights as American citizens. Several cases have been ruled over when it comes to human rights, such as the Roe vs Wade case, which covers a woman 's rights to an abortion, and the Cantwell vs Connecticut case that covers a person 's religious right to free exercise. Now the country is torn again in a human rights issue. Should it be mandatory for parents to give their children all of the vaccines that are available for children by the government? There are two sides to this argument, that both stage excellent positions. On one side, there are the people who believe that it is not only a violation of rights to make them vaccinate their child, but it is also interfering with the overall health and well being of the child by injecting them with potentially harmful chemicals. Other people, however, believe that the population as a whole would be safer from disease if everyone were required to be vaccinated. In their belief, the vaccinations are incredibly safe and effective, and could save the lives of thousands of children. Both parents, those who believe in vaccinations and those who do not, want what is going to be best for their child. Both want to be informed and have the knowledge to be able to raise the healthiest child that they can.

BMD-4M and BTR-MDM airborne armoured vehicles enter officially in service with Russian army TASS 13004163
Posted On Saturday, 30 April 2016 17:17
Defence & Security News - Russia
BMD-4M and BTR-MDM airborne armoured vehicles enter officially in service with Russian army.
Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has officially brought into service BMD-4M Sadovnitsa (Gardener) airborne infantry fighting vehicle (AIFV) and BTR-MDM Rakushka (Shell) armoured personnel carrier (APC) developed by the Tractor Plants concern, according to a Russian military source.

"Both vehicles have successfully passed trials, shooting their cuffs. Russian Government issued the related ordinance in mid-April," the source said.
BMD-4M Sadovnitsa is the latest development of BMD-4 Bakhcha (Melon Field) AIFV. BMD-4M features new hull, engine, chassis, applique armour plates and other components. The vehicle is equipped with Bakhcha-U manned combat turret. Bakhcha-U has received 100mm 2A70 gun-launcher, 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon and 7.62mm PKT/PKTM coaxial machinegun.
BTR-MDM Rakushka air-droppable APC based on BMD-4 is intended for replacement of ageing BTR-D carriers with Russian Airborne Forces (Russian acronym: VDV). The vehicle features 12.7mm 6P49 Kord heavy machinegun as the main weapon.
Earlier, the Vice-President and a part-owner of the Tractor Plants concern, Albert Bakov said that the company would be able to launch the production of approximately 200 BMD-4M and BTR-MDM vehicle on an annual basis in late 2016. Russian MoD is planning to get up to 250 BMD-4M/BTR-MDM vehicles within three years under the continuing contract.

Raffi Khatchadourian is an American journalist writing on the staff of New Yorker. He has also written for Village Voice, The Nation, New York Times, Salon, Smithsonian, Baltimore Sun, San Francisco Chronicle, Conde Naste Traveler, and The Russia Journal. He was born on Long Island, in New York. His work can't really be pigeon-holed; he writes like he is a classic freelancer.
04-27-17 – Since Khatchadourian pivots on his subjects so quickly, it can be difficult to assess him in synthesis. Logically, this is the better way to do things. Developing a beat brings you closer to your subjects. It makes you privy to certain things, for good or bad. The composition of your perception evolves from outsider to insider. You may foster stories in ways outsiders couldn't, but it may come at a cost. The subject could be using you, if money or power are involved.
By most accounts, Khatchadourian is an extremely curious person, which would account for the subject changes…the way I would want to do it. His trajectory has gone from major governmentally important pieces to less important technology pieces. It seems a little odd, but there is no certain reason to be skeptical about him generating propaganda.

I spent this past weekend April 28th & 29th attending the two day Tap New York Beer & Food Festival, helping to volunteer, serve for & represent Roc Brewing Co. It was a unique and incredible experience, and I got to taste some of the best beers being produced in the region. The event housed a formidable 51 breweries, thousands of attendees, and included in the ticket price a great variety of food. If you haven't been to Tap New York before, I highly recommend making the trek out to Hunter Mountain Ski Resort next year to experience it. And I'm going to give you the low-down on how to get the most out of your trip!
Wherever you live in NY, it's likely you're quite a drive away from the town of Hunter, so I really recommend you find a hotel or condo rental to stay at for at least one night. There's lots of places within walking (or stumbling) distance, so you can stay safe. One of the best parts about this festival is that it, more than some other beer festivals in NY, has a lot of the brewers in attendance excited to talk to you and show off their beer. My recommendation? Talk to them! Don't just go from booth to booth trying to drink as much beer as you can (you'll have plenty to try anyway)–talk to the brewers and have them tell you about their beer, the label art, whatever interests you. You'll get some great stories, and it only helps you to appreciate their beer more. Furthermore, this is such a popular festival that brewers often produce a special beer to release just for this event, or for a limited time during this season – if you see anything labeled "barrel aged," "cask conditioned," or "barlywine," try it. You'll most likely be impressed.
Now for the highlights – the brewers that in my opinion had consistently great beers across the board, and some really special ones as well. Next year I'm sure they'll be around, so you should seek them out among the masses when your taste buds are still fresh! You know I'm obviously partial to Roc Brewing Co., so I'll spend more time on the others.
Barrier Brewing Co. – winner of the F.X. Matt Memorial Cup at last year's event, which recognizes the "Best Craft Beer Brewery in New York State," had a great selection. I especially liked their Frau Blücher Rauch Bier, and the Vermillion Saison Rouge.
Brewery Ommegang - need I say more?
Captain Lawrence Brewing – their Kolsch was especially good–and that is saying a lot being that the Kolsch style can be very difficult to do right. They had 4 other beer styles as well for a good variety.
Chatham Brewing LLC – one of this year's overall award winners, and well deserved. Everything I tried from them I wanted to have a second glass of. My favorites were the Belgian Tripel and the Bourbon Barrel Aged 8 Barrel Ale.
Chelsea Brewing Co. – I enjoyed their Wit's End Belgian Wheat.
Custom Brewcrafters – I've been a fan of their MacBubba Scotch Ale & Caged Alpha Monkey IPA for a while, but their Krysztoff Baltic Porter I had at this event was a winner too.
Horseheads Brewing Co. – took bronze this year for Best Craft Beer in NY State. Their hefeweizen, Chocolate Porter, and IPA were all great, and their representatives were especially friendly.
Olde Saratoga Brewing Co. – their Eye of the Hawk Imperial Stout – Barrel Aged was THE BEST BEER I tasted at the festival. I went back both days numerous time to enjoy a taste.
Southern Tier Brewing Co. – love these guys, and they had a special Bourbon Barrel Aged Backburner Barleywine that was off the hook.
Spider Bite Beer Co. – this year's recipient of the 2012 F.X. Matt Memorial Cup, their beer names were as good as the taste: Boris the Spider Russian Imperial Stout, Robert's Spider Scottish Style Wee Heavy, First Bite Pale Ale, and Ariagne French Saison.
Three Heads Brewing – all good beers, especially the Loopy Oatmeal Red Ale.
Perhaps you think this is a long list and I'm being too nice. However, remember there were 51 brewers at this festival (from what I hear there's more every year), and that's what made this event so great. Other events may have just a handful of standout beers or brewers, whereas this had more than I could try in one day (luckily, I got to be there for two)! So next year, don't miss this event. There's something for everyone (even if you tend not to like the beers I like, haha) and you can pick the brains of many of the brewers while you're at it.

Mercury (Hobart) - Property
House of the week.......................................................6, 7
Commercial............................................................ 47, 48
Open homes................................................................. 46
JARRAD BEVAN
NEW home buying intentions data from a big four bank has put a spotlight on Hobart's cheapest options when buying or renting.
And it shows an uptick in investors who have goals to buy in the near term.
National Australia Bank Q2 research found areas popular with first-home buyers — Sorell, Howrah, Moonah and Kingston — each show houses are currently more affordable to buy than rent.
Glenorchy units also provide a cheaper opportunity to service a mortgage rather than pay rent.
Given the relative affordability of housing in Hobart, more housing opportunities present themselves compared to other markets across Australia, the report said.
Per realestate.com.au data the cost to rent in these hotspot suburbs was in the $470 to $520 per week range.
The asking annual median rent in the suburb Sorell is $470, Howrah $500, Moonah $493 and Kingston $520.
A unit in Glenorchy has a median rent of $380 per week.
The report noted areas outside of the city where mortgage payments were less than rents including Queenstown, Ulverstone, Wynyard, Launceston and Devonport among others.
NAB home ownership executive Andy Kerr said first-home buyers have claimed a significant share of the market over the past 12 months.
He said record low interest rates and first-home buyer incentives like the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme have driven strong demand.
"We have seen through the pandemic, particularly with first time buyers, that flexible and hybrid working is providing more options than they have historically had," he said. "Our research shows prospective buyers shift in where they want to buy and demand from first-home buyers has been the strongest we've seen in a generation."
Locally, the most recent Real Estate Institute of Tasmania report showed first-home buyer numbers were stable at 14.5 per cent of all sales – 430 properties over the past quarter.
Nationally, NAB found that the number of Australians who think now is a good time to buy dipped from 40 per cent to 29 per cent from Q1 to Q2.
In Tasmania, 25 per cent say now is a good time to buy down from 36 per cent in the previous quarter. There was a similar dip for those considering an investment property, from 40 per cent back to 26 per cent.
But when asked, "do you intend to buy in the next 12 months?" 8 per cent of Tasmanian investors said yes, up from 3 per cent in the previous quarter.
Mr Kerr said while house prices are rising, there's still plenty of opportunities for Australians to buy their dream home rather than rent it.
"The simple reason for this is the record low rates on offer, with many mortgage rates still coming with a 2 in front of them," he said.


Oldfield Thomas described in 1924 a new species of Peruvian titi monkey, Callicebus oenanthe. His description was based on a specimen collected near Moyobamba, northern Peru. He described the species as being "pale grey, much less rufous than other Peruvian forms. General colour above grizzled buffy greyish, not strongly rufous, paler than in any species except C. pallescens. Bases of the hairs blackish brown, then dull buffy, the ends tipped or ringed with dark brown. Hinder back and thighs warmer buffy, this colour extending down the hinder side of the legs. Under surface dull ochraceous rufous throughout, on body and inner side of limbs. A supraorbital band whitish. Crown pale buffy brownish. Hairs on ears grizzled greyish, like back. Hands and forearms pale brownish, nearly matching the crown; fingers dull whitish. Hind feet dull brownish ochraceous, the digits lighter. Tail grizzled brownish above and below, the end very slightly lighter".
This species, also known as the Rio Mayo titi monkey or Andean titi monkey, has a restricted distribution range and is endemic to Peru. Until 2007, very little was known about the species, but this has changed since the start of a conservation programme initiated by Proyecto Mono Tocón.

Stage and TV star Richard Shelton returns to UCB ahead of Frank Sinatra show in Birmingham
A former UCB student is appearing on stage in the city this week in a critically-acclaimed show about Frank Sinatra.
Multi-award nominated actor Richard Shelton stars as the legendary singer in Sinatra: RAW, which is currently on a four-night run at Birmingham's Old Joint Stock Theatre.
It's a homecoming of sorts for former Emmerdale star Richard, who now lives in Los Angeles, but originally grew up in Wolverhampton before coming to UCB as a 16-year-old in the 1970s and graduating in 1981.
And, ahead of his show on Wednesday night, Richard decided to take a trip down memory lane with a tour of the Summer Row campus.
"I just remember having lots of fun and being very, very happy," he said of his time at UCB. "I'm very fond of those days."
Richard originally began pursuing a career working in hotels, studying an OND in Hotel and Catering Management before moving onto a further course accredited by the HCIMA – now the Institute of Hospitality, through which many of UCB's current courses are still accredited.
After completing a nine-month placement on his course at London's luxury Grosvenor House Hotel, he spent several years in the industry working in the capital as well as the Middle East, and taking on a director role with InterContinental Hotels.
But, even while still at UCB, Richard was also exploring a further interest in acting alongside his studies, appearing in a production of Cabaret at The Crescent Theatre.
He went on to star as the murderous Dr Adam Forsythe in ITV's Emmerdale for two years, while he is known to TV audiences in the US for his roles in Jane the Virgin and House of Lies, as well as appearing in a string of other film, TV and stage roles.
Despite his change of career, Richard said he will never forget the confidence and life skills he developed through his placement and studies at UCB – experiences which have continued to help him flourish as an actor.
"It was a very well-rounded experience," he said. "It's not just what you learn in the classroom. It's what you learn interacting with other people.
"I was at Cambrian Hall and I'm still friends with people from my college days. It was a very cool, progressive atmosphere."
Richard also highlighted the importance of UCB's long-standing focus on helping students gain real-world experience in industry through work placements.
"When I went out into industry, I was confident with the background I'd been given," he said. "I'm a big believer in practical application. You can't learn everything from college – you have to go out into the world.
"In those days, I had to work nine months of my course on industrial release. The college got me my placement, and that really was the start of my global hotel career.
"When I graduated, I was way ahead of the game, because I had practical experience. That's as relevant today as it was for me then."

"Low Reproducibility of Randomized Clinical Trials Methodology Related " by Sean P. Riley, Brian T. Swanson et al.
Objectives: The reporting of sampling methods in Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) allows for research quality assessment, determination of sampling bias, and assures the presence of details necessary for reproducibility in future trials. The purpose of this study was to: (1) determine if sampling methodology was reproducible in RCTs related to musculoskeletal physical therapy (MSKPT) interventions to treat non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) and (2) establish if there was a relationship between sample reproducibility and established measures of research quality.
Methods: Data were collected through a systematic review by a professional librarian. The identified RCTs were assessed for methodological quality by two blinded individual reviewers. Data analysis was performed by a third, blinded researcher; additional comparisons were made based on Journal Impact Factor and PEDro score.
Results: Ninety-nine published peer-reviewed RCTs were identified that met inclusion criteria. Only 29% of the articles were judged to be reproducible based on the reported sampling methodology. There were meaningful correlations between two out of ten of the sampling reporting criteria and the judgement made if the sample was reported in significant detail to allow for replication. There was no relationship between sampling reporting criteria, Journal Impact Factors (JIFs), and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scores.
Discussion: The reporting of sampling methodology needs to be considered to ensure reproducibility and avoid sampling bias. Despite the proliferation of measures of research quality, the overall reporting quality of RCTs continues to be inadequate to allow widespread reproducibility of trials.

$93m Investment in Connecticut Port to Support Wind Power
A public-private partnership will improve the infrastructure for East Coast wind
A large investment in the essential marine infrastructure for the port of New London in the State of Connecticut was just unveiled. This will revitalise the State Pier in a harbour development plan and put in place facilities to to establish the region as a central hub in New England for the developing offshore wind industry.
The port is near New York, North of Long Island and adjacent to Block Island and some of the upcoming offshore wind designated areas for new projects. The $93 million (€83 million, £71 million) is made up of around half state investment, and half private funds. Construction is estimated to be completed by March 2022.
The Connecticut Port Authority, the state's quasi-public agency responsible for marketing and coordinating the development of the state's ports and maritime industry, and terminal operator Gateway, are partnering with Bay State Wind, a joint venture between Ørsted and Eversource, on a new deal that will redevelop State Pier into a world-class, state-of-the-art port facility through combined public-private investment of $93 million to upgrade its infrastructure and heavy-lift capability. These upgrades will allow State Pier to meet the facility requirements of the offshore wind industry and will benefit the port's long-term growth by increasing its capability to accommodate heavy-lift cargo for years to come.
"Connecticut's maritime economy has significant potential to drive economic growth and create jobs across the state, and redeveloping State Pier is a central component to that growth," Governor Ned Lamont said. "This new public-private partnership reaffirms the unwavering commitment of the state to increase procurement of offshore wind and make the economic expansion of our maritime economy a reality. We look forward to working with our new partners to position Connecticut as a leader in the offshore wind industry and expand economic opportunity throughout the region."
The State Pier harbour development plan calls for a two-phased effort at the pier. Firstly, a three-year development project will upgrade the facility infrastructure to meet the heavy-lift requirements of Ørsted and Eversource's offshore wind components. Secondly, following the successful completion of the project, Ørsted and Eversource will enter into a ten-year lease agreement granting their joint venture the use of State Pier for wind turbine generator assembly and staging.
This need for infrastructure has been highlighted in previous blogs. This is a welcome development and shows that at state and local level, authorities are well aware of the obligation to install or upgrade effective infrastructure to support the land and sea operations of the new US offshore wind industry.
"The Connecticut Port Authority was established to grow the state's economy and create jobs by investing in the maritime industry," Scott Bates, chairman of the Connecticut Port Authority, said. "For over a year, we have been working towards a vision where increased port activity drives economic growth and creates jobs throughout the state. This Harbour Development Plan brings that vision to life. In the short-term, our local workforce will upgrade State Pier into a world-class port facility, and our regional manufacturing workforce will build components for our new partners in the offshore wind industry. Longer-term, the increased capacity of State Pier will continue to expand the flow of cargo into New London, which will extend our state's economic reach even farther, benefiting workers throughout Connecticut."
This deal aligns with the Lamont administration's plans to expand the use of carbon-free energy sources.
"We've worked closely with the Connecticut Port Authority, Ørsted, and Eversource to help realize the collective vision of bringing the offshore wind industry to New London," Philippe De Montigny and Matthew Satnick, co-CEOs of Enstructure, Gateway's financial partner, said in a joint statement. "We believe our partnership will yield strong long-term growth for the City of New London and the State of Connecticut. As the port operator for both New Haven and New London, we will also ensure that our maritime terminal operations continue to deliver best-in-class service for our conventional cargo customers."
"Today's announcement lays the foundation for Connecticut to play a leading role in the United States' fast-growing offshore wind industry and supports our transition from older, dirtier fuel sources to clean, affordable, carbon-free energy," Lee Olivier, Eversource Executive Vice President for Enterprise Energy Strategy and Business Development, said. "Our collaboration with the State of Connecticut, the Connecticut Port Authority, the City of New London and Gateway Terminal brings together the resources and expertise needed to redevelop the New London State Pier into a state-of-the-art offshore wind facility to help Connecticut reach its critical greenhouse gas reduction goals."
"With this public-private partnership comes the significant opportunity for job creation, local investment, and economic benefits for south-eastern Connecticut and the wider region," Thomas Brostrøm, Ørsted President of North America and Ørsted U.S. Offshore Wind CEO, said. "We look forward to continue working with the state, the City of New London and our partners the Connecticut Port Authority and Gateway Terminal, as we drive towards a green economy, bring more sources of clean energy to Connecticut, and ultimately lower carbon emissions for our planet."
"South-eastern Connecticut has long been a centre of our region's maritime economy, and today's announcement represents a commitment to realize the potential of the New London State Pier – and the jobs and growth that will go along with it," Congressman Joe Courtney said. "The positive and long lasting effects of an investment like this – which will create new jobs and increase activity at the port – will be felt across our entire state for years to come. Not only does this investment prepare the State Pier up for future success by upgrading its infrastructure and heavy-lift capabilities, it also creates jobs in the immediate future, and keeps our state on track towards expanding the use of renewable energy."
"As New London has grown, we have formed amazing partnerships with the State of Connecticut, Gateway New London LLC, the Connecticut Port Authority and now the Ørsted and Eversource joint venture," Mayor Michael Passero said. "Today our city is emerging as an epicentre of innovation as new businesses and supply chains have invested in our community in preparation for this new industry coming to New London. I'm thrilled about today's announcement of the community host agreement with Ørsted and Eversource. It's proof that they will be great partners with the city as they join our business community. Most important of all, this is a big win for New London's taxpayers as we bring in new revenue, new jobs, and new opportunities to the city today and into the future."
Harbour Development Plan Highlights
With this plan, the Connecticut Port Authority is responsible for oversight and execution of the development project. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2020 following bid solicitation and permitting. It is expected to be finished in March 2022.
Upon project completion, Ørsted/Eversource will enter into a ten-year lease agreement with an option to extend for seven years.
A total of $93 million in capital expenditure commitments from multiple sources will go towards the development of State Pier:
Ørsted/Eversource commits $35 million in new capital expenditures for State Pier infrastructure improvements, including $2.5 million to the CPA to offset operational costs during the three-year development project.
The State of Connecticut will commit to $35.5 million for State Pier infrastructure improvements, including $25.5 million from the Connecticut Port Authority, as previously announced, and $10 million in new funding from the Department of Economic and Community Development through the Manufacturing Assistance Act.
$22.5 million was previously committed for State Pier infrastructure improvements, and Ørsted/Eversource will honour that commitment.
The Connecticut Port Authority will receive annual fixed fee payments of $3 million and will be eligible for a one-time completion bonus for on-time completion of the development project in March 2022.
Gateway will serve as the terminal operator and will still be responsible for the following fees as outlined in the original operator agreement with the Connecticut Port Authority:
A variable fee of 7 percent of its annual revenue (the minimum annual guarantee is not in effect during the terms of this agreement).
50 percent of dockage and wharfage fees.
This agreement is contingent upon receipt of all federal and state permits to support the facility development project.
This is a welcome development and will ensure that facilities and support systems are in place to ensure that the growing US Offshore Wind industry is not held back through lack of essential harbour facilities.

2021 Conference Programme Published on 18 Mar 2019 by Vanessa Galvez
2017 Online registration Published on 3 Jan 2019 by Ghislain VACHEROT


COLVILLE, Wash. - Northeastern Washington is getting $968,000 in federal funds for forest restoration work, as part of a larger effort announced on Thursday by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
Twenty-three projects nationwide will focus on improving forest health and hiring local workers to do it. Washington's winning project is on the Colville National Forest and nearby lands.
Getting the news was a big relief, says Mitch Friedman, executive director of Conservation Northwest, part of the Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition, because the competition for this funding is tough.
"Together over the last eight years, our group has fostered more than two dozen successful, on-the-ground, quality forest restoration projects. That's what put us in good position to compete for this million-dollar grant."
The project is part of a multi-year plan that's expected to support more than 500 jobs in Ferry and Stephens counties. Friedman says this year's funding already has been appropriated by Congress, but it will take a little longer for the work to get under way.
"We do have to create the projects that allow the guys in yellow hats to get busy. So, I'd say by this fall, we should be putting that money to work on the ground."
Friedman says the priorities are decommissioning many miles of old logging roads and thinning small-diameter trees from overcrowded stands which have become fire hazards.
Vilsack announced a total of more than $44 million in accelerated forest-restoration funding in 13 states.
More information on the group is online at newforestrycoalition.org.

Along with our sterile packaging manufacturers and industry partners we have together helped medical device companies around the world prove functional equivalence of Legacy and Transition Tyvek® in their applications. We especially appreciate the many companies who have worked to ensure success of this important project around the globe.
We have determined that retaining flexibility to supply both Transition and Legacy Tyvek® 1059B and 1073B styles into the medical market is necessary in 2017 and 2018. Most 1073B and 1059B Tyvek® purchased outside of North America from DuPont is supplied as Transition Tyvek®. In North America, we will continue to fill orders to converters with a combination of Transition and Legacy Tyvek® to ensure the market volume needs.
While most device companies have tested and/or accepted the use of Transition Tyvek® and confirmed that it is interchangeable with Legacy Tyvek®, some have not. If you have qualified new devices or validated new processes or equipment only using Transition Tyvek® and would like to be able to accept Legacy Tyvek®, please review your change control procedures and evaluate the impact of this change on packaging and sterilization according to the Quality System Regulation and ISO 13485. For additional information or to consult with our technical and regulatory team, please contact your DuPont representative.
We will conduct a further webinar providing the most up to date information from our MPTP project including a review of the latest Technical Reference Guide and an update on the status of Legacy Tyvek® to the medical device industry in July. We recommend that you direct all inquiries related to supply strategies to your sterile packaging manufacturer who each have their own inventory management system.
Thank you for your continued support of our MPTP program. Our goal is to ensure supply to best meet the needs of the medical device industry.

Free Essay Sample «Computer and Network Security»
Technology essay
Computer and Network Security
Modernity and technological advancements have popularized the use of computers. More people are embracing the use of devices that process data of different kinds to give meaningful results. Computers make work easy. Once they are given instructions, they process them. Computer network has made things even better since it enables computers to exchange information. For instance, the Internet enables computers to pass data through the network link that is provided. The ever-growing interaction that is facilitated through computer network has made it necessary for the network administrators to monitor and thus prevent an unauthorized access to computer network. Access to data and information in a network is only allowed to the authorized users. I am interested in the topic on "Computer and network security" because I would like to pursue a degree in Ethical hacking and computer security. I am interested in this area to provide solutions and it can only be possible once I obtain the necessary skills.
The use of computers has widely spread throughout the countries. Although the world is vast, people can access information from different parts of the world. However, as information and other data are exchanged amongst computers some people misuse the information or data. Other people also make modifications on the content that is exchanged for the personal benefit. Therefore, there are policies and provisions that network administrators have to adopt to ensure that the content in the Internet is protected from unauthorized users, some of whom might have bad intentions and cannot be trusted (Pfleeger & Pfleeger 2006). Network security ensures that the network is secured. Therefore, it protects the operations that go on in various computer networks. Such protection is necessary in communication and carrying out daily transactions.
The use of a unique name as identification and a corresponding password is the most common method used in protectin computer networks. The unique name is used as the user name. The user name and the password are used to gain an access to computer networks that do not allow free access. Such type of authentication is referred to as one-factor authentication. The two-factor authentication requires from the user to use a specific possession such as a cell phone or security token. The three-factor authentication, on the other hand, requires the user to use his/her body parts for scanning fingerprint or retina. Once authentication has been confirmed as valid, a network user is allowed to use the services being provided. Network security also ensures that there is privacy as people communicate over the Internet. Honeypots may also be used in network security. Usually, the honeypots are designed to appear as part of a specific network because they contain valuable information. However, they are traps to detect or divert the attention of attackers. If a network is large and diverse, more than one honeypot may be used since they are likely to attract a higher number of attackers.
How to Improve Network Security
Computer networks always face the threat of attacks by unauthorized people. Therefore, network administrators constantly work out the ways to improve network security. A combination of different strategies can be used for protection. The first step one should take is to encrypt information and pages that need to be kept private. However, concealing these pages is not enough; network administrators need to ensure that these requirements are kept as stringent as possible. In addition to encrypting pages and information, one should continuously carry out auditing and mapping of the network. To do this, one has to be conversant with basics such as firewall configurations, Ethernet cabling, routers and wireless access points. It will enable an individual to monitor the network's connectivity path. Knowledge on these basics would enable a network administrator to identify areas that are exposed to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, a network administrator will be in a position to increase security andd thus the network performance and reliability.
Network security can also be improved by ensuring that the network is kept up-to-date. Network administrators have to check software continuously and firmware updates on the entire network infrastructure. By doing so, network administrators would be in a position to make changes on configuration settings that are insecure and passwords that have defaults. Network administrators also have to collect information about hackers. It will enable the network administrators to know what hackers are up to and what they are capable of doing. The network administrators can respond to the possibilities of attacks by making software updates regularly. In addition to that, policies on network security should be put in writing so that all users of the networks can follow them to the latter (Quinn 2012). It will help reduce cases of complacency, which may expose the networks to attacks. This coupled with physical security can go a long in improving network security since cases, such as wireless access to the networks, are reduced.
One of the main tasks of network administrators is to ensure network security. However, no network can be monitored perfectly to ensure that it is safe from viruses, attacks or identity and data theft. As time passes, more technological advancements are made. Network attackers are also not left behind as they continue sharpening their hacking skills. Since network administrators are yet to find ways of ensuring that network attackers are contained, they can employ the aforementioned strategies to make it difficult for unauthorized users and attackers to gain access to the networks. The aforementioned ways of improving network security serve as preventive measures. When these preventive measures are complemented with close monitoring of these networks, many gains can be registered as far as the issue of preventing network attacks is concerned. It should be noted that the world of computers is ever evolving. Therefore, network administrators have to improve their network security.

Editing AKI (Estonia) - 2.1.-1/21/129 (section)
== English Summary == === Facts === The data subject found out that the controller had included his information regarding the generation of a debt of €2,706.41 in a transfer and listing with ASNEF (a credit default register). The data subject then requested information regarding the generation of the debt and communication of the payment request. The controller did not respond, and the data subject filed a complaint with the Data Protection Inspectorate (''Andmekaitse Inspektsioon - AKI).'' The AKI sent an enquiry to the controller with the following questions: # What was the legal basis for the processing? # Was a transfer made to ASNEF? If so, when and under what legal basis? # Were there documents relating to the data subject's debt, and if so, have these been received by the controller? # Was the insolvency file's accuracy verified before transfer? # Was the data subject informed of the transfer, and if so, how? # Why hadn't the controller replied to the data subject's access request? The controller responded to the AKI, claiming that the legal basis for this processing was [[Article 6 GDPR#1b|Article 6(1)(b) GDPR]] (neccessary for the performance of a contract). The controller's contract with the data subject stipulated that the controller had the right to make such a transfer following overdue payment or default. The controller claimed the purpose of this provision was to allow the data subject the opportunity to monitor his debts and to give others the opportunity to process the subject's data on the basis of legitimate interest to assess his creditworthiness. The controller also claimed the data subject had known of this right to transfer since it was included in the contract. === Holding === The AKI disagreed with the controller about the legal basis for the transfer because it was not necessary for the completion of the contract. Instead, the AKI held that the correct basis was legitimate interest (subject to a legitimate interests test). The AKI found that the controller did not comply with [https://gdpr-info.eu/art-12-gdpr/ Article 12(3) GDPR] as it did not reply to the data subject's request within one month or provide reasons for its failure to reply. The AKI reminded the defendant of its obligation under [[Article 13 GDPR]] and [[Article 14 GDPR]] to inform the data subject in a concise, clear, comprehensible, and easily accessible form using clear and simple language. It noted this information should also be provided in such form if requested in accordance with Articles [[Article 15 GDPR|15]] to [[Article 22 GDPR|22]] and [[Article 34 GDPR|34]] GDPR.
What is the number of the Directive that was replaced by GDPR (format: yy/zz)?

Q: Posting credentials to web API using Fiddler (not Basic Auth) I've created my first ASP.Net Web API which receives posted credentials and returns a ClaimsPrincipal:
Credentials.vb
Public Class Credentials
    Public Property UserName as String
    Public Property Password as String
End Class

MyController.vb
    <Route("v1/login")>
    <OverrideAuthorization>
    <HttpPost>

        Dim cp As ClaimsPrincipal = DataBaseLogin.GetDataBasePrincipal(c.UserName, c.Password)
        ' removed for brevity ...
        Return Ok(cp)
    End Function

In Fiddler I am trying to construct a POST to this method:
POST http://localhost:58442/v1/login HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:58442
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 35

{"Username":"foo","Password":"bar"}

The method is hit (breakpoint trigger break) and variable c is typed as Credential but the values of c.UserName and c.Password in the method are both Nothing.
Update
Solved it.  Content-type must be application/json and not application/x-www-form-urlencoded

A: Basically, because of the simple types (string parameters), Web API is expecting these parameters from the URI and for that reason you are getting 404.
Change the action method some thing like this (sorry about C#).
public class MyController : ApiController

    public string Password { get; set; }
}

Also, include Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded in the request. That should work. BTW, you can use [FromBody] against the string parameter but then you cannot use two, since body can be used only once. In case you have one parameter, you can use that instead of a complex type (class).

Queens Park Rangers get ready for Bristol City's Tammy Abrahams
Comments Off on Queens Park Rangers get ready for Bristol City's Tammy Abrahams
Championship: QPR v Bristol City
By William Wells
The struggling R's host a Bristol City side who boast in-form goal scorer Tammy Abrahams. The Englishman has 11 goals in 15 appearances.
Rangers haven't won at Loftus Road since the opening fixture against Leeds and their poor form includes a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Newcastle. They currently sit 14th in the league nine places behind Bristol.
Defender Grant Hall has a thigh injury and is doubtful for the clash against Bristol, QPR are undefeated in the last 12 meetings between the two (W7, D5).
City could be facing former loanee Steven Caulker who made 29 appearances for the Robins in the 2010/11 season.
Swedish centre-back Joel Ekstrand has also been unwell however he is expected to train with the squad ahead of the match and may feature.
Speaking to the BBC Radio Bristol after their latest result a 2-1 loss to Cardiff, City manager Lee Johnson said: "We've still had a decent start and we have to learn our lessons from this one." Bristol will no doubt be looking to bounce back and retain their spot in the play-off places.
The most recent fixture between these two finished in a 1-0 win for QPR. Karl Henry's stunning strike earning all three points on the final match day of last season.
After his appointment in December, R's boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink now has a full season with his squad to try to turn QPR's fortunes around with the glitz and glam of the Premier League a distant memory.

This sample demonstrates using `DeviceUpdateClient` class in this library to retrieve device update metadata. `DeviceUpdateClient` is used to manage updates, devices and deployments in Device Update for IoT Hub - each method call sends a request to the service's REST API.  To get started, you'll need Device Update for IoT Hub AccountId (hostname) and InstanceId which you can access in Azure Porta. See the [README](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/main/sdk/deviceupdate/Azure.IoT.DeviceUpdate/README.md) for links and instructions.

 ## Create a DeviceUpdateClient

To interact with Device Update for IoT Hub, you need to instantiate a `DeviceUpdateClient`. You use an endpoint URL, instance identity and a [`TokenCredential`](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/main/sdk/identity/Azure.Identity/README.md#credentials).

For the sample below, use proper `account-id` and `instance-id`. You can find the right value in Azure Portal.

```C# Snippet:AzDeviceUpdateSample2_CreateDeviceUpdateClient
Uri endpoint = new Uri("https://<account-id>.api.adu.microsoft.com");
string instanceId = "<instance-id>"
TokenCredential credentials = new DefaultAzureCredential();
DeviceUpdateClient client = new DeviceUpdateClient(endpoint, instanceId, credentials);
```

## Get update metadata

First, let's try to retrieve update metadata.

```C# Snippet:AzDeviceUpdateSample2_GetUpdateAsync
string provider = "<update-provider>";
string name = "<update-name>";
string version = "<update-version>";
Response response = await client.GetUpdateAsync(provider, name, version);
JsonDocument update = JsonDocument.Parse(response.Content.ToMemory());
Console.WriteLine("Update:");
Console.WriteLine($"  Provider: {update.RootElement.GetProperty("updateId").GetProperty("provider").GetString()}");
Console.WriteLine($"  Name: {update.RootElement.GetProperty("updateId").GetProperty("name").GetString()}");
Console.WriteLine($"  Version: {update.RootElement.GetProperty("updateId").GetProperty("version").GetString()}");
Console.WriteLine("Metadata:");
Console.WriteLine(update.RootElement.ToString());
```

## Enumerate update files identities

Now that we have update metadata, let's try to retrieve payload file identities that correspond to this update.

```C# Snippet:AzDeviceUpdateSample2_EnumerateUpdateFileIdentitiesAsync
AsyncPageable<BinaryData> fileIds = client.GetFilesAsync(provider, name, version);
List<string> files = new List<string>();
await foreach (var fileId in fileIds)
{
    JsonDocument doc = JsonDocument.Parse(fileId.ToMemory());
    files.Add(doc.RootElement.GetString());
}
```

## Enumerate update files

In this step, we will retrieve full file metadata for each file associated with the update.

```C# Snippet:AzDeviceUpdateSample2_EnumerateUpdateFilesAsync
foreach (var file in files)
{
    Console.WriteLine("\nFile:");
    Console.WriteLine($"  FileId: {file}");
    Response fileResponse = await client.GetFileAsync(provider, name, version, file);
    JsonDocument fileDoc = JsonDocument.Parse(fileResponse.Content.ToMemory());
    Console.WriteLine("Metadata:");
    Console.WriteLine(fileDoc.RootElement.ToString());
}
```

A.J. Edwards is the director of the new film The Better Angels, which highlights the formative years of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. In this Big Think interview, Edwards shares thoughts about his visual aesthetic and explains the decision to shoot the film in black and white
The Better Angels was conceived in black and white from the very beginning. It was just the way that I felt Lincoln existed. Lincoln lives in black and white and I didn't want to see him in color. The reason why we thought it was appropriate wasn't purely for aesthetic reasons but also to remove the romance of frontier life, you know, what we imagine with the coonskin caps and the muskets, the Lincoln log cabin. It could lean towards Disneyland or something like that. And so we were after austerity and starkness like you would have in a Bresson picture or a Carl Dreyer picture. And because especially and the frontier life plus Lincoln on top of that, there's a lot of sentimentality that you could lead into or, you know, just the tropes of just the Americana patriotic story. So yeah, we wanted a bit more integrity to the film than the cliché's that could have happened.
We wanted the film to be a sensory experience. It wasn't just to be a Wikipedia article about the facts and information of Lincoln's life. We wanted people to walk beside him, labor with him, cry and laugh with him and black and white abstracts everything to turn it into icons. With color the image is much busier. There's much more to take in. There's more specificity to it. Black and white immediately abstracts things and makes symbols out of it so that man or woman suddenly isn't as specific. They suddenly can turn more almost into the image on the bathroom sign, you know, it's man and woman as a whole. It gives you a generality in the best way. In addition to the abstraction black and white provides the production design. You know it helped them immensely because, especially with the limited budget we were dealing with. Immediately when you see black and white you feel like you've been transported into the past. And so, you know, 20 percent of the art department's team was accomplished purely by muting the color. Not to say that their job was then easy after that but it definitely gave them a leg up I feel and they would agree.
You know, the first thing if you say you're going to shoot black and white is everybody is worried for you. Black and white has a stigma that's attached to it. People view it as a disadvantage in that you're limiting your audience, your financial prospects and categorizing your picture as something that it may not be. You know if you shoot black and white people immediately think art or they immediately think serious. And so if someone is to consider black and white for their project I guess I would say the heads up that I would offer is that they need to be prepared to fight for it and lobby for that. Unless they're just surrounded by a fantastic group that's immediately encouraging and doesn't feel that there's any risk. Schindler's list I think made like 400 million dollars or something. And so if the story's there, the performances are there it will connect people. And connections are not in color or in black and white. They're invisible but just as real.

The i18n plugin is used to automatically redirect your website visitors from specific countries or with a specific browser language setting to a corresponding internationalized version of the URL. For example, a common practice is to have alternate translated versions of webpages with a langage code prefix, i.e. the Spanish version of /about/ would be located at /es/about/ and the French version at /fr/about/. The i18n plugin can be configured to redirect based on either the Accept-Language header or the country of the visitor based on a geo-ip lookup.
In case you aren't familiar, the term i18n is shorthand for "internationalization".
The url prefixes such as es/, fr/, etc. are called "locales". While they commonly are based on ISO 639-1 two letter codes, you can use any strings you like.
The plugin assumes that the build process that generates your static site duplicates the site content in sub-folders corresponding to your locale names, in this case de, fr, and es. The pages not nested beneath one of the locale folders represents the defaultLocale.
This plugin works extremely well in conjunction with the i18n capabilities of popular static site generators. All of the following emit a static site in the structure described above.
Check the documentation for your static generator of choice. Chances are it either supports i18n output natively, or there exists a plugin that enables it. Checkout our demo site which uses jekyll-polyglot.
# located in Mexico, Costa Rica, or Spain.
defaultLocaleThe name of your site's default locale. This locale is not represented in the url path.
localesDictionary of your alternative locales. The keys represent the locale prefixes that appear in your site's locale specific urls, i.e. the es equivalent of https://yoursite.com/about would behttps://yoursite.com/es/about.
locale.languagesThe list of languages that should redirect to the locale URL. Each language must be a two letter ISO 639-1 code. Typically you will only have a single language specified, but there may be cases where you want two closely related languages to share the same content. If the Accept-Language header corresponds to _any_ of the specified languages, they will be redirected to the corresponding locale URL.
The list of countries that should redirect to the locale URL. Each value must be an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. The country is based on a conversion of the incoming request IP address. If the request country matches any value in the list, the request is redirected to the locale specific URL.
When a request arrives, the browser language from the Accept-Language and the country identified by the IP address are extracted.
Look for the first locale with a match in either the languages or countries list.
If a match is found, determine if the locale in the request is different than the locale matching the request. If so, 302 redirect to the corresponding locale URL.
US es Redirect to https://site.com/es/ The language es matches one of the languages for the es locale.
ES en Redirect to https://site.com/es/ The country MX (Mexico) matches one of the countries for the es locale even though the language is en.
DE en Render the default homepage The de locale is only configured to redirect based on the language, not the country. So even though this visitor is in Germany, they get the default version.
Although the examples on this page use English (en) as the default, that's definitely not required. Your default locale could just as well be Chinese, Swedish, Russian, or Portugese.
You can tack on a special querystring parameter ?__locale=es. This will cause the server to set a cookie called aerobatic-locale with the specified locale then redirect to the appropriate locale-specific URL. For example a request to https://site.com/about?__locale=es will redirect to https://site.com/es/about. Subsequent requests will continue to honor the value in the cookie rather than inspect the Accept-Language header and the origin country.
It might not be practical or desirable to provide a translated version of every single page on your site. If a locale specific URL is requested and a webpage does not exist the user is redirected to the default locale. For example https://site.com/fr/english-only-page will redirect to https://site.com/english-only-page. In this case a 301 permanant redirect is used.
Note that the static site generator may create a duplicate copy of the page in the default language at the locale specific path. This is how jekyll-polyglot works (see fallback language support). In this case just make sure that the <link rel="canonical"> points to the default locale URL to avoid duplicate content issues for SEO.
In order to test that the i18n plugin is behaving as expected, it is useful to be able to simulate HTTP requests with different languages and from different countries. Changing your browser language is straightforward using Postman or a browser extension such as Quick Language Switcher.
Simulating a different country is tricker since it entails proxying your request through an IP address in that country. To make this easier we provide a special querystring parameter __country that you can append to a URL that will override the IP based country logic. For example to simulate a request from China, just request http://yoursite.com?__country=ch.
Unlike the ?__locale querystring which you can use in your site's locale selector, the ?__country querystring is only intended for your personal testing.
