Managed Motorway Cameras have been recently introduced on the M25 in Essex.
They are a fixed camera, generally located on the side of a motorway gantry, fitted with variable electronic speed limit signs.
A 36 month 'baseline' period (referred to below) is used when selecting camera locations in order to ensure any collision patterns are well established and not random spikes in road traffic injuries that will return to normal of their own accord (an example of 'regression to mean' described above).
These are the familiar "Gatso" type speed cameras usually seen on urban roads.
If question 1 will be exempted due to cost implications, please limit the section between the M25 and Colchester.
It should be noted that these criteria are for guidance only, and ultimately the highway authority will make a decision on a site-by-site basis, judging each proposed scheme on its merits.These camera installations are single stand-alone units that are located on one or more approaches at a traffic signal controlled junction; there are currently 26 installations in the SERP's area.The camera housings are painted yellow for added conspicuity and have been installed at locations where there has been a history of personal injury collisions involving at least 1 driver or rider that has disobeyed a red traffic signal.All cameras used for enforcement purposes are Home Office Type Approved, which guarantees the integrity of the equipment and ensures the monitored results are accurate, when the cameras are used in line with the manufacturer's instructions.
Many challenges to their accuracy have been raised over the years, but the level of testing required under the Home Office Type Approval process, and the practice of having all cameras annually calibrated, ensure their accuracy is maintained.The speed camera data that can be downloaded here gives comparisons of collision data before and after the installation of the speed camera.

1908 Peoria Central Basketball Team
A true pioneer for high school basketball in Illinois was the outstanding 1907-08 Peoria High School team which won the first state tournament ever held in Illinois.
The first state high school basketball tournament was an eight-team invitational affair at the Oak Park YMCA. Peoria High, coached by Les Straesser, a 1906 graduate of the school who also at the time was farming west of Peoria, had compiled a 14-1 regular season record.
Included in the 14 wins was a 105-23 thumping of Streator at the old Peoria YMCA on Jefferson Street. Peoria led 65-5 at halftime and Wilbur "Bill" Forrest scored 32 field goals. The team's only loss was 43-23 at the hands of Spalding. At the first state tournament, Peoria turned back Wheaton, 41-26, then disposed of Hinsdale, 32-25, and won the state title by pounding Rock Island, 48-29.

Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child is another new title by DC's Vertigo imprint and looks to blend True Blood, Dylan Dog, and a post-Katrina world into a hard hitting, sophisticated comic.
DOMINIQUE LAVEAU: VOODOO CHILD is the story of a half-breed, outcast and heir to the Voodoo Queenship of New Orleans, if she can live long enough to claim her birthright. New Orleans is the most haunted city in America: a town of centuries-old ghosts and newly drowned spirits; where vampires, voodoo spirits and loups-garous make their home. Ruling over this all are the powerful Voodoo Queens, whose influence stretches into politics, business and crime as they maintain a delicate balance between the mortal and supernatural worlds. But in the aftermath of Katrina, all that has changed, for someone or something has murdered the Voodoo Queen and most of her court. The number one suspect is Dominique Laveau, a grad student at Tulane who is about to discover that her entire life has been a lie. Now Dominique must forge alliances with those out to kill her while seeking to uncover the truth behind the royal murders, as she is ultimately forced to deal with a destiny she could never have imagined. Voodoo Child is a new monthly series written by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, former editor-in-chief of The Source magazine, award-winning author, journalist and TV producer, with art by Milestone Media co-founder Denys Cowan (THE QUESTION) and covers by Rafael Grampá.
The idea behind Voodoo Child is sound and fairly intriguing, however, the setup is not very coherent, resulting in a shaky foundation for the very first issue. Selwyn Seyfu Hinds' dialogue is fluid, but the plot is rough and has a tendency to jump around from locale to locale and from character to character. This storytelling method results in an issue overloaded with too much information and not enough transition, which could potentially leave audiences confused and in the dark about the title's intentions and goals.
The main character, Dominique Laveau, hits the first couple pages running from a werewolf as it chases her through the streets of New Orleans only a scant four-months after Hurricane Katrina battered the jewel of Louisiana. As she passes bodies she has glimpses of other unseen horrors; eventually she runs into a clearing and fends off the creatures with some mystical powers of her own. The story then jumps around between Dominique's travels throughout the city and visions of otherworldly events that seem to be tied to her newly found power—the very same power that fended off the werewolf (Like I mentioned, the idea is there, but the execution is poor).
Don't forget to pick up any and all of Vertigo's titles and Merlyn's on Main in downtown Spokane, WA.


One blood donation can help save up to three lives. That means a lot to patients in need, but it took on a new meaning recently. Many of you may know that both Bob and Kathy Joyce are currently battling cancer, and both have received numerous blood transfusions.
Throughout this ordeal, so many people ask what they can do to help, and now there is finally something they can actually contribute. Simply, donate blood to save lives. As winter intensifies, the American Red Cross faces critical low levels of blood for area hospitals and blood banks. Please consider joining our virtual drive to help combat these shortages. Make and keep an appointment to donate blood.


CRICO and the Harvard medical community have been using simulation training to help reduce preventable medical harm since 2000, when CRICO introduced its first incentivized simulation program for anesthesiologists. Those who completed crisis response simulation training at the Cambridge, Massachusetts–based Center for Medical Simulation, received a premium rebate. Since then, the program has expanded to include OB, ED, and OR team training.
We spoke with the medical director of the Shipley Medical Simulation Center, Mark Hershey, MD, who is also an anesthesiologist and co-director of the ICU at NWH. He told us that what is really exciting about the program is that they can see—and measure—the results. For the great strides the Shipley Simulation Center is making in patient safety, we featured it in our 2015 printed calender (seen below).

All cat collars in my shop are of excellent quality. I use fabric and interfacing which is then wrapped around the webbing. All cat collars come with breakaway collar hardware for your kitty's protection. A silver or gold bell comes standard with each cat collar. Non breakaway hardware can be used if requested.
All cat collars can be made in asizes including XXS, XS, and S with option band width sizes of 3/8"W. ALL 3/8"W BUCKLES COME IN MULTI COLOR SELECTIONS. ALL Cats receive collar breakaway hardware unless otherwise requested.
Please measure your cat's neck prior to ordering to insure a correct fit. Please either use a soft measuring tape or a string when measuring. If using a string, place string around the neck where collar normally sits placing two fingers underneath as this allows extra space so the collar will not fit too snugly. When measuring with a measuring tape, follow the same procedure..
XXS- Fits neck sizes 5"-9"
XS.- Fits neck sizes 7"-11"
S - Fits neck sizes 10"- 15"
NOTE; As there are fabric variations throughout the pattern designs, your selection may not be completely identical to the image. Please note if you would like your selection identical to the image.
Each collar can be machine washed on cold water delicate, however, I recommend hand washing or placing the collar in a small bag in the washer to prevent breakage of the hardware.

we want to deploy McAfee Endpoint Security, Threat Prevention and Web Control on 200 notebooks.
We have an epo Server, but we want to build one pakage so the people can download the pakage from a ftp server (usb drive) or whatever, just double click the pakage and then the client installs itselfs with all policys and connection settings to the epo server.
I only found the pakage builder for the agent.
I dont want that my 200 notebooks download 250mb each from the epo server. And the notebooks dont have always a connection to the server via vpn.
I use MID to build a package, then use 7-zip and SFX Maker to create a "one-click" executable for VSE 88. You could do something similar for SA 35, FW and the Agent. All the packages are extracted to the correct location and executed locally from there, and the original package is deleted. Don't know what you would do for an ENS deployment.
1.) Do all those users have local admin right so that they can install the agent?
2.) Does it have to be an external (on Internet) download source/server?
3.) Can it be a download source/server on the corp network?
2. would be nice, so they dont need to download it through our company connection (50mb/s for all clients together).
For security reasons I would suggest to make it a corp network download and that will also be much easier to do.
2.) Click on "New System"
3.) Select "Create and download agent installation package" and click "OK"
4.) Right click the "Agent Package" link and click "Copy shortcut"
When the user enters the link or click it, they get the option to run or save it.
If you want to make it out of on a external repository/ftp or HTTP, you can just upload the file to where you want to store it.
maybe i didnt understand it right.
I thought if i deploy the agent package, then the client will connect to my internal server and then download the client software from the server (Endpoint Security, Threat Prevention and Web Control).
So they each would download ~250mb from the internal server.
so you have to generate the framepgk.exe as explained above, it is install specific. it is what allows your clients to connect back to be managed. It is the first thing to install.
If all devices are "stand alones", then yes download mcafee ENS and package it for them to install.. The agent will go to epo to grab the policies and tasks.
The agents now support peer to peer, so if you have sites wth multiple devices you can use peer to peer for file distribution.
Yes, it is right as Andre explained.
When you export the Framepgk from your ePO, that package will contain all the neccessary settings for your clients to connect to your ePO server.
Ýour original question was how to manually deploy the agent. When the agent is installed, the client have to be connected to the corp network to be able to get the rest of the products deployed to it.
The rest of the products eg. VirusScan HIPS, etc has there own package sizes ofc.
What I understand from your sentence saying: "I only found the pakage builder for the agent." is that you want a package to deploy McAfee Endpoint Security, Threat Prevention and Web Control. Am I right? If yes, as far as I know the products need to be deployed from ePO server. As  explains the clients connection to ePO is necessary.
About your sentence saying: "I dont want that my 200 notebooks download 250mb each from the epo server.", whether a package or a deployment, in both ways the client has to download some amount. And about "And the notebooks dont have always a connection to the server via vpn.", you should not worry, you just need to build the necessary Client Tasks on ePO and clients receive the products in their first connection, that is the beauty of ePO.
The ENS manual or ePO install is all documented in the ENS install guide. It is definitely a product you can package to include in an image or as a distribution for manual install.
if the device is managed by ePO, the products will be configured by ePO. As  says, " that is the beauty of ePO."

WhatsApp launches disappearing photos and video for all your sensitive (and sexy) messages
Useful for thirst traps!
By Rachel Thompson August 4, 2021
If one thing is clear from the surge of horny-on-main-ness during Twitter Fleets' last hurrah, it's that people love a disappearing thirst trap.
Joining the party, WhatsApp will now let you send private and disappearing photos and videos. So whether it's a steamy sext, something cute you'd like to delete later, or even sensitive content like passwords or financial details sent to someone you trust, WhatsApp is rolling out "View Once" photos and videos that will disappear from the chat after they've been opened.
Users need to have the latest version of WhatsApp on iOS or Android to use the View Once feature.
In 2020, WhatsApp added a new privacy feature that allowed people to change their settings so that messages would be automatically deleted after seven days. This new View Once feature allows you to send a pic or video that will disappear instantly, much like sending someone a Snap.
As the new feature's name suggests, photos and videos sent using the View Once method will disappear once they've been opened. Media won't be saved in the recipient's camera roll or their WhatsApp photos.
You'll only be able to see if a recipient has opened a View Once photo or video if you have read receipts switched on — it will be marked as "opened." And if you've received a View Once message, you'll have 14 days in which to open it before the media will expire from the chat.
In order for the messages to disappear after opening, you'll need to select "View Once media" each time you want to send a message like this.
It is possible for someone to screenshot the View Once content, and of course, it's also possible for someone to capture the message using another device before it disappears. For these reasons, WhatsApp urges caution when it comes to sending messages of this nature. "Only send photos or videos with View Once media enabled to trusted individuals," reads a blog on the new feature.
As with everything sent in WhatsApp, View Once messages are protected by end-to-end encryption so WhatsApp cannot see them, although it does share your metadata with Facebook.

Rebel with a Dream
By adminon July 28, 2003 - Read 3735 times
"Tuesday. I'm going to jump on Tuesday. If the weather holds, that is." Like a teenager, Arthur Stapler's voice cracks with excitement. "It's been a bad spring and early summer here," he chats on, "lots of rain and clouds. I would have done it sooner, but they had a record or something they wanted to get. So Tuesday I will do this. If the weather plays nice."

Arthur, known as "Rebel" for reasons which are perfectly clear once you know him, has Multiple Sclerosis . MS is a neurological auto-immune disease which attacks the brain, and disrupts the timely and smooth flow of the nerve ends by destroying the myelin sheath. Diagnosed on his 21st birthday, Rebel completed college, pledged a frat house (ask him about his egg story someday!), married, divorced, married again, and has had 2 separate careers, both as a VP of an automobile dealership and in textiles. Now, Rebel's MS has progressed to the point where he is completely reliant on a powered wheelchair. He still has, however, limited use of his right hand. He's used that hand to reach out and grab his dream of bodyflight. He's going skydiving.
"Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to fly. So I went hunting for a picture of skydiving to put onto my computer, to look at sometimes. Did a google search. Up popped Dropzone.com, and I was sucked in. Like a tornado, but good." He laughs. "All I originally wanted was a picture, and look what happened."
Rebel researched dropzones, settling on CrossKeys in Williamstown, NJ. He called them, and talked to them about the possibility of him making a tandem skydive. Without announcing it to family or friends, he arranged possible dates and times, and coordinated with a few conspiring aides to assist him in finding the sky.
As the day neared, he sent out invitations to family and friends. He was getting excited, he said, glued to the weather stations and planning. If it wasn't going to be Tuesday, it was going to be shortly thereafter. He was going to fly.
His sister Marci said she thought he was crazy at first, and then, "why not? Why not?? I had no real questions about it, I didn't really think about it, I figured the details will come as we go. At first, I didn't even realize it was going to be tandem. I just knew if he wanted it, it was going to happen. That's Arthur. And that's wonderful."
It was clear on Tuesday. Beautiful, blue, midsummer day. Rebel didn't tell anyone at his assisted care facility where he was going (they thought he was at the doctors). Rebel packed up and went out of state to CrossKeys. And pulling up at the dropzone was, he said, "interesting." Having never been to a dropzone, he was immediately aware of "the vibe", that feeling of barely suppressed excitement, of manageable exuberance.
Amy, his little sister, was there. "My brother became my hero a few years ago, and continues to be so. This is just typical of him. He decides to do something, and then just goes and does it. He sees everything as a surmountable challenge for him. There's nothing he can't do when he decides to do it."
Connecting with Tandem Instructor Range Luda, who has lots of experience in bringing physically challenged folk into the sky, Rebel knew he was going with a master. Nothing to stop him now, nothing at all. It was happening. And he felt great. Getting him into the jumpsuit was accomplished, and then Rebel says "I didn't know what to expect next. And man, I was surprised."
A specially designed harness was brought out. It strapped the legs together, and immobilized the arms across chest, along with attachment points for the tandem master.
"Well, now I know what bondage is. I was looking for ladies in high heels and leather, but they didn't show." He laughed. "I'm kinda glad they didn't, either." Trussed like the family Thanksgiving turkey, Arthur was on his way. Back into the wheelchair, and down the dropzone into the loading area. There sat the 208, waiting. Inviting him into the sky. Motors thrumming, loaded, ready to go. He was going to skydive. First out means last in, and so he got a door seat for his first jump. He recalls wondering if they would shut the door, but distinctly remembers not being nervous. Feeling the anticipation, sure, but not nervous. During the climb to altitude, sitting on the floor with his tandem master behind him, he feels the bindings regularly tighten on the harness, hears slight snicks as the attachments are fastened. He is attached, and ready to go.
"Here I am, in a plane, going 2 1/2 miles into the sky, with a bunch of people I have never met, doing something most people never do, and I wasn't nervous. Not one bead of sweat appeared, not one flutter in my stomach. Everyone on that plane was laughing, cheering. I didn't know what to think, what to expect. I was there, though, and that was what mattered. I was going to skydive." Rebel's voice takes on a hint of concern, however.
"After awhile, people got quiet, and then started moving around. I thought 'What? Did the engine die or something?' And then a red light went on. They opened the door. I could see the sky. It was huge. And then the light went green. Goggles were put onto my face. We scooched over to the door so my legs dangled over the edge. And then Range asked me if I was ready to skydive. I nodded."
With a rocking motion, they slipped from the edge of the door, and out into the blue. Out into the world they flew, no thought, no fear.
"We dropped out, and I looked down, and God's honest truth, I only realized I wasn't in the plane was when I saw Erik (the videographer) in front of me." Wonder creeps into his voice. It lowers almost to a whisper.
"I'm there. In the sky." Awed. Amazed.
And then he recalls thinking "What was everyone telling me about breathing for? I don't have any problem."
"I remember feeling weightless," he says, "when I'm sitting in my chair, I'm 134 dead weight. When I was there, I was gliding. I felt weightless. I felt so comfortable, so intense. So peaceful."
Merging into the sky, Rebel was free. As they soared and flew through the day, the videographer with them, Rebel knew of the overwhelming bigness of the sky in a way not known to most.
"It was so huge, so beautiful, so peaceful", he recalls. "I was outside of the plane - I was in the sky, I was immersed, inside something, blended into something. I knew Range was there, I knew Erik was there, but I was alone. And I was free."
Rebel does not remember the canopy opening very clearly. "Poof, soft, and then we could talk. All I could say was 'I want to go again' ". As they danced through the sky under a Strong tandem, Rebel was absorbing everything. "I remember thinking this is what the birds see. I see it like the birds do now. I've looked out of a plane window before, and that is nothing compared to what I saw. Nothing."
"I had no concept of time. Forever and too short. I felt just wonderful. It was like a 7 minute orgasm," he laughs, "but free, weightless." Range took him through several spirals, and sliced through the day dancing especially for Rebel. And as they descended, Rebel was grinning.
On final approach, Rebel saw his family and friends coming out towards his landing spot. And the landing was absolutely perfect. "It was like a kid playing jacks - soft, mellow, easy."
It was over. Rebel recalls "it was like when you go on a rollercoaster, and can sit in the seat and just hand the guy another ticket to go 'round again. I was looking for the ticket guy, but he wasn't there."
He received the log entry, his certificate, and bumperstickers. After getting out of his harness and jumpsuit, everyone went over and watched the video on the big screen. "They were giving me hugs," Rebel chuckles. "The President didn't get these hugs. The guy who jumped with the dog didn't get it. I got a lot of love from everyone." Jumpers on his load, other jumpers and dz'ers who were just there, all came over and high-fived him, shook his hand, or hugged him. He was surrounded with the vibe of skydivers; he was now, too, a skydiver. He doesn't know all these people, he says, but he doesn't have to. He felt the love.
"I am carrying his pictures around," says his father Michael. "I'm like a Pop with Little League. Everyone has to see them. They show a man who is happy with his life right now, and has something to live for. Arthur is a risk taker but this is a different kind of risk. Not many people...would think of skydiving, but Arthur? Well, that's him. I am very proud."
Amy, his little sister, said she was never nervous. "Arthur is my big brother. He does what he says he will. If it takes a bit longer, fine, whatever."
Arthur's voice has a quietness, an almost factual insistence, a sureness to it. "What I did today was something which proved that people with disability or illness, whatever physical challenge, can do anything they really want to do. If they want to sit around and be pissed off, cry 'why me', so be it. I am not going to do that; I have never have done it. I have skied on quad skis, I have biked on a tricycle, I am maybe going to get to drive a race car. Now I fly, too. And I am going to do it again."
His voice intensifies, if that's possible. "I have learned to make things accessible. I learned how to find answers. If I can't do it now, I'll figure a way to do it later...I learned to realize I could do a lot of things. This was something huge, something important, this skydive. And I did it."
"Look, I think of "MS" as two letters. Mighty Special. I can offer people a lot of things. There is someone beyond the wheelchair, beyond the person who can't get up. I can offer many things. I can listen, I can give, I gotta lot of love inside me. MS is only 2 letters. There are 24 other letters left. And I'm busy using those, too."
Arthur is still processing the jump, days later. I speak with him, and hear the ecstasy in his voice.
"Hey. Tell me again. Why do you want to jump out of a plane?"
"Because I can."
Yes, Rebel, you can.
