Every chance I get my soil is amended with compost and organic nutrients that will feed my plants. This is easily accomplished in vegetable gardens and perennial gardens each spring. In the perennial garden I can only incorporate large amounts when moving plants. Top dressing with compost later in the season replenishes some of the nutrients that have been used up. But roses and annual flowers in particular tend to be ravenous for certain nutrients and need supplemental fertilizing. And certain nutrients are difficult for some plants to access without the aide of specific elements. It is important to know what your plants really need before randomly applying general purpose fertilizer, over fertilizing can be more damaging to some plants than not feeding them at all. Soil test kits are inexpensive and easy to use, and will give you a good idea of what is already in your soil.
Organic fertilizers contain only natural ingredients. The materials release slowly into the soil as they are broken down by microorganisms as well as condition the soil. Organic fertilizers feed the soil, so your soil can feed the plants most efficiently. Nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium (NPK) ratios will generally be low, reflecting only nutrients made immediately available to plants. The ingredients are naturally slowly released into the soil, so the ratio somewhat reflects a constant availability over a long period. Many of the organic fertilizers are mixed for specific purposes such as feeding tomatoes, heavy bloomers, or roses. These blends contain the basic organic material and nutrients that you soil will need for the specific application. Organic fertilizers are available as dry granular or liquid.
Fertilizer made from chemicals are generally water soluble, so they can be applied to the soil surface, allowing rain to wash it into the soil or dissolved in water to be applied to the foliage or soil. Chemical fertilizers contain mineral salts to aid the roots in soaking up the fertilizer. But these salts are not particularly good for plants, and they do nothing for the soil other acidify it. The salts will also repel earthworms, which are very important to keeping soil healthy. Gardens that are consistently treated with chemical fertilizers experience decline in soil structure and living organisms. Water retention diminishes as the soil declines, and you will need more and more fertilizer all the time. We each need to make choices as gardeners about our willingness to use chemicals. If you feed your soil by adding natural amendments and compost as much as possible, chemical fertilizers can be used in moderation to supplement heavy feeders.
All basic fertilizers will contain Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium or N-P-K. The ratio of these ingredients are expressed as 10-10-10 for example. There are other trace elements added, often added unnecessarily or sometimes they are added to create a blend for a specific need.
Nitrogen aids the plant with foliage growth which is normally desirable in spring. Nitrogen is depleted from soil very quickly so a slow release granular may be preferred, or natural organic materials that produce nitrogen and decompose slowly. High nitrogen fertilizers are ideal for lawns since the grass is consistently growing new green leaves. Bloodmeal is one example of a natural organic material that releases nitrogen rather quickly to the soil.
Phosphorus encourages root growth, seed development and fruit ripening. Since blooms are technically fruit, blooming is encouraged with phosphorus. Phosphorous is essential to young developing plants. Compost is an excellent natural source of phosphorus that releases slowly in the soil.
Potassium, often referred to as potash, aides in the overall health and vigor of plants and the development of leaves and fruit (don't forget, flowers are fruit). Potassium will also aid in disease resistance.
There are often a combination of trace elements and minerals in most fertilizers, whether synthetic or organic. They have specific purposes and may, or may not, be appropriate for the plants you are feeding. For example a fertilizer formulated specifically for tomatoes will contain calcium which minimizes blossom end rot and neutralizes toxic materials. Magnesium, sulpher and iron are good amendments for plants that require acid soil such as azalea, rhododendron, camelia and blueberries. Magnesium is a component of chlorophyll.
Specially blended fertilizers are still quite "general purpose". The may be higher in one nutrient, lower in another, to very generally suit the needs of a type of plant or flower. But we all know that individual varieties within a species may prefer entirely different nutrients and feeding schedules. So special blend fertilizers are ok in a pinch, but it is very important to know your plant and your soil!
Rose fertilizer is formulated to benefit the blooming of most rose varieties. Generally roses prefer a slow release, high nitrogen fertilizer. BUT, not all roses like so much fertilizer. Rugosa roses prefer one feeding in spring of slow release, not too high nitrogen.
Flower fertilizer may be granular or water soluble and is generally quite high in phosphorous to aid in bloom production. This type works well for most annuals, but many perennials do well when starved of nitrogen and phosphorous.
Vegetable fertilizers generally will be granular and slow release, and are most effective when mixed into the soil or watered deeply into the soil. An application following directions is meant to last two or three months in the soil. Once again, every vegetable does not use the same nutrients, but a general purpose vegetable fertilizer is uniquely blended to put a wide variety into the soil. Your vegetables will generally use what they need. The vegetable garden is one place to remember that food is produced with the nutrients in the soil. Are you sure you want to eat tomatoes grown from chemicals? The next two articles discuss composting and organic soil amendments.
Houseplant fertilizer considers that container bound plants often need more nutrients than they can get from the small amount of potting soil in the container. Follow directions on the package, it is easy to over fertilize with a heavy dose. Frequent feeding is often best.
All purpose fertilizer is formulated to feed flowers, trees, shrubs, houseplants and vegetables. Better than nothing, but hardly plant specific. If the all purpose fertilizer you choose is organic, then at least the nutrients are broken down slowly and made available to your plants if and when they need them. A synthetic, or chemical fertilizer is taken up very quickly. This can burn the foliage and damage plants. Don't get me wrong, I always have some balanced all purpose (5-5-5 if I can find it) on hand for a quick boost for plants, especially annuals or container plants. But generally spring would be the best time to use synthetic fertilizers when the soil is too cold for microbial activity. Until the soil gets warm, the organic nutrients you added last fall are not released for the plants. But don't worry too much about that, most plants don't really begin growing until the soil is warm anyway.
Most plants prefer a neutral pH between about 6.0 and 7.0. In a neutral range, nutrients are most easily absorbed by plants. Minor adjustments to pH are possible with specific amendments, but keep in mind that soil will generally revert rather quickly to its' natural state. If you plants are growing well, they are probably well suited to your soil type and pH. The article on soil amendments gives more information about organic materials to help adjust pH.
So test your soil, then provide the nutrients your soil needs for the plants you grow. Investigate organic fertilizers, and read the next couple of articles about composting and soil amendments.
Know your soil and know your plants! Happy growing!

Israel hints at war with Egypt over bridge to Saudi Arabia
February 17, 2014 at 1:50 am | Published in: Middle East, News
Media reports claim that Israel and Jordan are against the project to build a bridge between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Israel is taking the issue so seriously that it has hinted that it may be "a direct cause of war" if it goes ahead.
The project was instigated by ousted president Hosni Mubarak years ago only to be shelved. It has been revived post-revolution.
Israel insists that a bridge over the islands of Tiran and Sanafir located at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba would pose a "strategic threat to Israel" as it puts the freedom of navigation to and from the Israeli port of Eilat "at risk". Any closure of the gulf or threat thereto would, Israel has declared repeatedly, be "a direct cause of war".
Hebrew Radio pointed out that the Camp David agreement between Israel and Egypt emphasises the right of freedom of navigation through the Strait of Tiran. "Article V says that 'the Parties consider the Strait of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba to be international waterways open to all nations for unimpeded and non-suspendable [sic] freedom of navigation and overflight. The Parties will respect each other's right to navigation and overflight for access to either country through the Strait of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba'."
The 50-kilometre causeway and bridge between Egypt and Saudi Arabia will link Sharm el-Sheikh to Ras Hamid, near Tabuk. It is believed that the project will ease the travel to Hajj for tens of thousands of pilgrims every year.
Although Cairo and Riyadh claim that work on the project will commence later this year, according to the Israelis, "the project is still being studied by the two countries".
While the economic and political benefits of such a link are acknowledged, concerns have been expressed about the possible effects on the marine environment and coral reefs in the Red Sea. Such damage could have a knock-on effect on tourism, something that is vital for the Egyptian economy.

Home Technology GPS Deception
GPS Deception
Prof. Dr. Fuat İnce
Major news networks were reporting on September 17th, 2016 that US warplanes had bombed Syrian government positions at the Syrian city of Deir al-Zour. After many hours of silence, Pentagon sources said that it was by mistake, a navigation error.
In previous months Russian planes had bombed Syrian government and Kurdish YPG positions, both their allies, also by mistake.
When Turkish planes shot down a Russian plane on November 24th, 2015, it was because the Russian planes had violated Turkish airspace. But Russian authorities claimed that [according to their records] there was no such violation.
What was the real reason behind those navigation errors?
For a number of years now, modern warplanes have been primarily using signals from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) satellites in navigating their route in the skies and to the coordinates of known targets.
There are now two active GNSSs in the World. The more widely known is the GPS (Global Positioning System) of the USA, and the other is the Glonass system of Russia. In addition, the European GNSS system Galileo, will be starting partial service in 2017 with full service coming in 2019. China's GNSS system Beidou, is expected to be in operation sometime early in the 2020s. India is also believed to be developing a GNSS system.
Both GPS and Glonass are military systems, planned, built and operated by the armed forces of their respective countries. However, they have also been opened to civilian use. Especially GPS is used by millions of people all over the world in their vehicles or pockets with a good deal of confidence.
The Chinese system is also owned by the military. It is not certain yet whether it will be open to civilian use. On the other hand, the European Galileo is completely owned and operated by a civilian authority under EU supervision.
US and Russian military have great confidence in their GNSS systems, so all their navigation, geographic and target information, operational plans and actual operations are dependent on these systems.
But then can these systems be defeated in any way?
This question can be answered at several levels. The first course of action that comes to mind is jamming, which is the suppression of GNSS signals by stronger ones rendering all affected GNSS receivers useless.
GNSS operators can use a different method to prevent the use of their systems by hostile forces. They can add "noise" or a random component to their signals to introduce errors in the receivers. The usual position error of a few meters can then grow to several hundred meters or more. The US once had such a system called selective availability (SA) which was available for use in times of crisis. But it was canceled in 2000 and the US government declared that it has no intention to revive it again.
This method affects all receivers in a large geographic region. A much more desirable method would be highly selective targeting of only one or a few receivers at a certain time at a certain place. If such selective deception could be achieved, a designated ship or aircraft could be fooled to steer itself into wrong coordinates, navigate into enemy territory or bomb friendly positions.
If we return to the first question posed above, about the source of all the navigation errors of US and Russian planes over Syria, several possibilities exist. First is human or equipment errors while transferring target information from reconnaissance sources such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to the bombing jets.
Another error source could be equipment failure or loss of calibration. This is unlikely in this digital age without being apparent or unchecked. That leaves only one option which is selective electronic deception of designated aircraft. This method, while theoretically possible is not trivial by any means.
An article on GPS Hacking appeared in the August 2016 issue of the journal The Institute, which is published by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) the largest professional association in the World. According to the article a postdoc electronics engineer at Cornell University, mentioned the ideas of a project to his professor, for GPS deception.
Before it was started, FBI was informed. With their approval and under the supervision of FBI and other security authorities, a device was developed and successfully tested over a two year period. The test mentioned in the article involved a ship in the Mediterranian which was spoofed into steering off course, naturally with the prior information and acceptance of the captain.
The article states that the US government is working on a method to detect such spoofing and take appropriate mitigation measures. It is also mentioned that the first such commercial GPS receiver is now available from a Swiss company.
It is now apparent, as the article states, how the Iranians captured an American UAV forcing it to land undamaged on an Iranian airstrip, and also how US ships in the Persian Gulf steered into Iranian waters in at least two occasions by mistake. It is believed that US, Russia, Iran and China now have the capability to spoof GNSS signals.
We should not be surprised if we hear about new navigational errors in Syria, Iraq or another place in the World.

Algenol to distribute algae-derived ethanol commercially
Volkswagen introduces new MQB-based Tiguan at Frankfurt; plug-in hybrid concept
DOT to award $42M to New York, Wyoming and Tampa to pilot connected vehicle technologies
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) will award up to $42 million to New York City, Wyoming, and Tampa, FL will receive up to $42 million to pilot next-generation technology in infrastructure and in vehicles to share and communicate anonymous information with each other and their surroundings in real time, reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, and cutting the unimpaired vehicle crash rate by 80%.
As part of the Department of Transportation (USDOT) national Connected Vehicle Pilot deployment program, the locations were selected in a competitive process to go beyond traditional vehicle technologies to help drivers better use the roadways to get to work and appointments, relieve the stress caused by bottlenecks, and communicate with pedestrians on cell phones of approaching vehicles. (Earlier post.) There will be more information about future pilot deployments in the coming months.
Today's announcement is a big step forward for the future of how we move in this country, from our rural communities to our biggest cities. It has been a core mission of the Department to support promising new technologies, and through these types of smart investments we are opening the door to a safer and cleaner network and expanding how future generations travel.
—Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx
New York City will received up to $20 million to install Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) technology in up to 10,000 city-owned vehicles including cars, buses, and limousines that frequently travel in Midtown Manhattan, as well as Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) technology throughout Midtown. This includes upgrading traffic signals with V2I technology along avenues between 14th Street and 66th Street in Manhattan and throughout Brooklyn. Additionally, roadside units will be equipped with connected vehicle technology along the FDR Drive between 50th Street and 90th Street.
US DOT made an additional commitment to empowering cities to solve congestion and safety issues with connected vehicle technology by awarding $17 million to solve peak rush hour congestion in downtown Tampa and to protect the city's pedestrians by equipping their smartphones with the same connected technology being put into the vehicles. Tampa also committed to measuring the environmental benefits of using this technology.
In Wyoming, the focus is on the efficient and safe movement of freight through the I-80 east-west corridor, which is critical to commercial heavy-duty vehicles moving across the northern portion of our country. Approximately 11,000 to 16,000 vehicles travel this corridor every day, and by using V2V and V2I, Wyoming DOT will both collect information and disseminate it to vehicles not equipped with the new technologies.
These connected vehicles will yield unprecedented levels of anonymous data that will be the basis for a multitude of innovative applications that will lead to smart vehicles, smart infrastructure, and ultimately smart cities. Research has found that the technology could reduce unimpaired vehicle crashes by 80%, while also reducing the 4.8 billion hours that Americans spend in traffic annually.
In 2012, the USDOT tested and proved connected vehicles' life-saving potential in the largest real-world pilot of the technology to date, with more than 2,700 equipped vehicles operating on the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Participating vehicles used V2V safety technology to help everyday drivers avoid crashes as they traveled along their normal routines. Safety apps warned drivers of alerts such as braking vehicles ahead, vehicles in their blind spots, or impending red-light violations. USDOT's efforts showed that connected vehicle technology works in the real world and in a variety of vehicle types including cars, trucks, transit vehicles, motorcycles, and even bicycles.
With the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment Program, the US DOT is now focusing on accelerating the deployment of the technology in more regions throughout the nation. The US DOT's goals for the program are straightforward: advance deployment, measure impact, and uncover and address the technical and non-technical barriers to deployment in a hands-on way.
In addition, the Department announced in May steps to accelerate road safety innovation, including accelerating its timetable on a proposed rulemaking that will require the installation of V2V communications equipment in all new vehicles. The proposal is expected by the end of 2015.

#1 with a different supporting cast down the stretch, but the result looked familiar.James, Clevelands only starter on the floor i Antworten
CLEVELAND -- LeBron James played with a different supporting cast down the stretch, but the result looked familiar.James, Clevelands only starter on the floor in the fourth quarter, scored 11 of his 19 points in the final period and the Cavaliers rallied for a 100-93 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.Channing Frye scored a season-high 20 points and played the entire fourth quarter, along with James, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson and Jordan McRae.Our second guys did a great job, James said. It was good we were able to close the game out. We got stops and we made shots.Kyrie Irving scored 19 points and Kevin Love added 17, but coach Tyronn Lue stuck with the group that helped Cleveland take control of the game. J.R. Smith, who starts at shooting guard, was sidelined with a sore right ankle.They were playing great, Lue said. Kevin and Kyrie said, `Let it roll. They understood and we got the win.The Cavaliers set an NBA record by hitting at least 10 3-pointers in each of the first nine games of the season.James scored eight points on 4-of-15 shooting through three quarters before taking over in the fourth, when he also had five assists.Kemba Walker scored 21 points for the Hornets, who have lost two straight after starting the season 6-1.Charlotte led 72-71 after three quarters, but Fryes 3-pointer off James assist put the Cavaliers ahead 77-74.James blocked a shot by Frank Kaminsky that led to Jeffersons basket and scored in the lane, putting Cleveland ahead 81-76. He also hit a 3-pointer and found Frye for another 3 that stretched the lead to 89-80 midway through the quarter.Charlotte cut the margin to 94-90, but James hit a 3-pointer and a free throw as Cleveland put away the game.Frye was 7 of 15 from the field, including 6 of 12 on 3-pointers.Theyre so good and they made the plays they needed to win, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. Theyre a great team.Charlotte forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 11 points after missing Fridays game against Toronto with a sore back.TIP-INSHornets: C Spencer Hawes missed a breakaway dunk as time ran down in the second. ... G Jeremy Lamb (strained left hamstring) is participating in non-contact drills and could play Friday when Charlotte hosts Atlanta.

Irving was replaced after picking up his second foul midway through the first quarter ... Cleveland made 12 of 22 shots in the first quarter.TOUGH ONE TO TAKEWalker sat in front of his locker for more than 20 minutes after the game.I think we just let the game get away from us, he said. They made some great plays and just found guys when they needed to. We had a few mental mistakes that didnt help, as well.ITS OK WITH USIrving and Love jumped off the bench several times in the fourth quarter and didnt have a problem with not returning to the game.Its about the growth of the team, Irving said. The reliance isnt on the normal guys every night. Its an exciting time.Love scored 15 points in the first quarter.Everybody was making plays in different ways, he said. LeBron always is, but especially with that unit he was the quarterback out there.Irving averages a team-high 23.9 points while Love scores 20.6 a game, the third-highest total. James is second with a 22.9 average.UP NEXTHornets: Visit Minnesota on Tuesday. Charlotte has won five straight over the Timberwolves, including two on the road.Cavaliers: Host Toronto on Tuesday.

Helmet-mounted displays are priceless on the battlefield. And expensive: The proto-Google Glass headset, for instance, is absolutely useful for the average soldier, but way too pricey to be practical. That's why folks at DARPA are freaking out about the heads up display that researchers hacked together for a few hundred quid.
Let's get one thing straight: This is hardly the new F-35 helmet—that insanely overpriced fighter jet's Gen III Helmet Mounted-Display System (HMDS) that shows the pilot all of the essential information needed to slam through the sound barrier and launch missiles at enemy aircraft.
It's also so advanced, it effectively turns the entire plane into glass by using a series of infrared cameras mounted on the hull to enable the pilot to "look through" the airframe.
The whole set up also costs about $400,000/£268,000. That's what makes DARPA's garage-built version so interesting.
A team of young engineers built the whole setup at a cost that's likely less than the price of the chin strap cost on the F-35 HMDS. I tried a hacked-together prototype of the device at a recent DARPA demo day in rural Virginia. It doesn't exactly look like a Star Wars prop, but that's part of the point. It's built to be useful, and it is. Based on what I learned about the simple feature set, it actually sounds like it could save soldiers lives.
The new helmet-mounted display system is designed for infantry soldiers, not fighter pilots. However, the objective to optimise attention remains the same. If you're leading a patrol into enemy territory, there are a million things to worry about. You're the one tasked with finding the safest, most efficient path to your destination. You're the soldier who needs to identify any insurgents who may happen to cross your path. You're the first line of defence if you walk into a fire fight.
The DARPA device focuses on these key use cases. All three of the programmed features I saw at the demo day focus on navigation and threat detection. The entire system is built within DARPA's TransApp ecosystem, the same ambitious software initiative that powers thousands of soldiers' smartphones on the battlefield.
One view through the helmet-mounted display is a simple satellite view of the terrain, the mission plan, and the soldier's position. Another related view, shown in simplified form below, provides data more directly related to the soldiers. Note the marker for a known IED. These features are all based on the Maps app developed by TransApp as a way not only for soldiers to replace the World War II era methods of charting out points on paper with protractors. It's honestly not much different than the navigation features on Google Glass. The display also detects the soldier's head movements so that it always shows the relevant orientation.
The third view is perhaps the most interesting, as it plugs into the military's larger database of known insurgents and civilians. (One other application of this information is an app called WhoDat which is kind of like a collection of Topp Trumps cards made up of locals, their affiliations, and their level of hostility.) This view will enable the soldier to flip through profile pictures of known locals, helping to identify who's a threat and who's not.
While it's easy to draw comparisons between this cheap and easy helmet-mounted display and the not-so-cheap and not-so-easy Google Glass technology, the design is much more utilitarian. The display can flip up and down so that the soldier wearing it can enjoy an unobstructed view whenever he or she wants. As such, the display itself is opaque and lacks the augmented-reality effect of some heads up displays.
All that said! This very high tech and ultra useful device costs about the same as a good smartphone—not the price of a fancy house. That means that more soldiers could take advantage use of the potentially lifesaving technology which, let's be honest, is inevitably more important than making killing easier.


THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE, WHAT IS IT?

afterclickPgButtons: function (whichButton, $frmgr, justSelectedRowid) {
    $(this).jqGrid("setSelection", justSelectedRowid);

In its 2017 Report on the "Annual Report on human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union's policy on the matter" the European Parliament (EP) calls for an EU policy on caste discrimination and urges the EU and its Member States to, "intensify efforts and support related initiatives at UN and delegation level by implementing and monitoring the 2030 SDGs, monitoring the new UN Guidance Tool on descent-based discrimination and supporting states' implementation of recommendations by UN human rights mechanisms on the topic of caste discrimination".
In addition to the continued concern and demands for more EU action, the European Parliament report also urges the EU and its member states to monitor the new UN Guidance Tool on Descent-Based Discrimination released in 2017.
IDSN welcomes the report by the European Parliament and looks forward to seeing more concerted action taken in 2018 to develop, monitor and implement EU and UN instruments directly addressing caste-based discrimination. We are encouraged by the European Parliament's call for increasing efforts to address caste discrimination at the EU and UN level.

The latest chapter in the ongoing story of Kanye West's career in the world of fashion is here, with the Paris unveiling of the second A.P.C. Kanye capsule collection, this one slated for the fall season of 2014.
Like the previous A.P.C. Kanye outing, the fall 2014 capsule collection adheres to Kanye's idiosyncratic style, even as it continues to push the envelope in terms of what is acceptable (and not acceptable) in the arena of fashion. It's a superficially simple collection of styles, but with highlights like a camouflage t-shirt and red face mask (what is it with Kanye and masks?) that could only come from the mind of Kanye West.
To take a look at the A.P.C. Kanye fall 2014 capsule collection designed by Kanye West, click through the gallery at the top of the page. And watch out for more information regarding the collection's general release as we get closer to the fall 2014 season.

Whoa! PGD is getting racy! Seriously, I was thinking about this week's eco style post and realized that underwear isn't something we often think about, but when you do, you realize that you are wearing chemically laden clothing against the most sensitive parts of your body, day in, day out. The last time I replenished my supply I was really surprised at the lack of choice...what about cotton, hemp, bamboo? Why must we settle for poly blends? So, as much for myself as anything, I set about finding an eco solution to share with you. Here are my favourites! Pact, featured above and below, are an interesting outfit out of the states. If comfort is where you're at, this is the choice for you. With a decent selection, the site is very upfront about the process behind their undies (be sure to check out the ingredients!), and they have 3 styles to choose from. The best part? Each version of their skivvies goes towards a cause - the company will donate 10% on your behalf. The ones featured above, Oceana, are dedicated to ocean conservation, while the ones below, GreenBelt, are dedicated to the green belt movement in Kenya started by Wangari Maathai (an extremely motivation woman and Nobel Peace Prize winner).
If you're in the market for something a little sexier, check out Eco Boudoir. Most notable? The company, based out of the UK, produces great looking collections, and they are very involved in educating consumers about cotton production, and specifically the kind of nasties you might we sporting each and every day.

Washington, DCTwo large-scale data breach settlements have been announced, one involving Home Depot lawsuits and the other involving claims made by the Federal Trade Commission against Wyndham Hotels. Both involved situations in which hackers illegally obtained the payment information of customers, with plaintiffs alleging serious failures on the part of the defendants. In recent years, lawsuits have been filed against numerous companies alleging those companies failed to adequately protect personal information.
Recently, Target agreed to pay $39 million to financial institutions including MasterCard and banks, linked to a data breach in which hackers obtained access to 40 million credit and debit card numbers. According to reports, Target allegedly knew about the data breach for 12 days but failed to take appropriate action on it. According to EndGadget (12/2/15), Target has already agreed to pay $67 million to Visa and $10 million to individual consumers who were affected by the breach.
Lawsuits were filed by individuals against Target in 2013, alleging consumer information was stolen between November 27 and December 15, 2013. Plaintiffs claimed Target was negligent in failing to implement and maintain reasonable security measures to protect customer information. In 2015, a settlement was announced, with customers who have documentation of their losses being eligible for up to $10,000 in damages. Customers who cannot document their losses will be paid out of the remainder of a fund.
Meanwhile, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts has agreed to settle claims from the FTC that the company "unfairly exposed the payment card information of hundreds of thousands of consumers to hackers in three separate data breaches," according to a news release from the FTC. The settlement does not require Wyndham to admit liability, nor will Wyndham have to pay damages to the FTC.
Rather, the settlement requires the company to "establish a comprehensive information security program designed to protect cardholder data - including payment card numbers, names and expiration dates." Wyndham will also be required to conduct yearly security audits.
According to the FTC's initial complaint, Wyndham failed to take security measures, including firewalls and network segmentation, and complex user IDs. More than 500,000 payment card accounts were reported compromised in the data breaches.
Consumers whose personal information is compromised due to inadequate security measures on the part of businesses or other organizations may be able to file a lawsuit to recover money lost to fraud or damages linked to identity theft.
Am I entitled to a law suit for the breach?

Apple Inc. (AAPL) Earnings Preview: How Many iPhones Shipped?
Apple is among the list of technology companies scheduled to release their next earnings reports after closing bell tonight, following Microsoft's disappointing report last night. Analysts have been lining up their preview reports ahead of tonight's print. Unsurprisingly, they're expecting a lot from the consumer tech giant.
Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt released the results of their most recent survey on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) earnings. The company guided for between $63.5 billion and $66.5 billion, but analysts are expecting more.
Fortune polled 20 professional analysts and 15 amateurs and found that the average estimate for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) first fiscal quarter is sales of $68.3 billion, a 21% year over year increase.
In a report dated Jan. 26, BGC analyst Colin Gillis updated his projections for Apple's December quarter, which is expected to set a new record thanks to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Even though Apple is expected to report such strong results, however, he cautions that the company's shares have declined with the last couple of earnings beats.
In the December 2013 quarter, Apple also reported record results, and its shares fell 8%. The year before that, the company also saw a new record, and shares fell by more than 12%. Gillis points out that currently, shares of Apple are within 6% of their $119 per share high (adjusted), which they hit on Nov. 26, 2014.
Gillis believes the smartphone market is essentially turning into the phone market as more and more consumers switch from feature phones to smartphones. He has pointed out in the past that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is still very dependent on the iPhone, with potentially as much as 65% of its revenue coming from the iPhone in the December quarter.
He estimates that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) sold 66.5 million iPhone units during the quarter with an average selling price of $685. He thinks in order to push shares materially higher, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) must have sold at least 70 million iPhones during the quarter. The BGC analyst has a Hold rating and $103 per share price target on Apple.
In their report also dated Jan. 26, JPMorgan analysts Rod Hall, Ashwin Kesireddy and Rajopal Raghunathan agreed with Gillis and most of the rest of Wall Street in saying the iPhone will drive Apple's results. They believe the company shipped 64.8 million iPhone units but say there could be some upside to that estimate because supply may have caught up with demand toward the end of the quarter. For the current quarter, they estimate shipments of 52.9 million iPhones.
The JPMorgan team also expects Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to report strong iPad shipments of 23.95 million in the December quarter. For the current quarter, they're estimating shipments of 16.5 million iPads.
The analysts expect to see Apple's total revenue come in at $51.9 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $53.7 billion. They're expecting a GAAP gross margin of 37.8%, slightly behind consensus at 38.5%, and GAAP earnings per share of $1.86, compared to the consensus of $1.99 per share.
JPMorgan has an Overweight rating on Apple.
As of this writing, shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) were down 1.46% to $111.45 per share ahead of tonight's earnings report.

Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, 104,350 new cases of skin cancer (excluding basal and squamous cell) will be diagnosed in the United States this year. These cancers can usually be cured. In addition, 96,480 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed in the U.S in 2019. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70. More than 5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed annually and many could be prevented by protecting skin from excessive sun exposure.
Basal cell carcinoma: The most common form of skin cancer, and is very curable. This cancer begins in the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Basal cell cancer rarely spreads to other parts of the body. Radiation therapy is very effective for treating basal cell cancers that have not spread elsewhere. Other common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and cryosurgery.
Squamous cell carcinoma: The second most common type of skin cancer. This cancer also begins in the epidermis. Radiation therapy can be used to treat squamous cell cancers that start on the skin and sometimes nearby lymph nodes with or without surgery. Other common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and cryotherapy.
Melanoma: The most serious skin cancer; it begins in skin cells called melanocytes that produce skin color (melanin). Radiation therapy is used mostly for melanomas that started in another part of the body (metastases). It is used to treat areas where doctors think the disease may spread, such as the lymph nodes. Melanoma is usually treated first with surgery and may be followed by chemotherapy, radiation therapy and biologic therapy.
Merkel cell carcinoma: A rare skin cancer that develops between the dermis and epidermis. This cancer often requires treatment with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.

Britain's Nuclear Weapons: Money for Nothing
Brian Cloughley
© Photo: REUTERS/POOL New
On 19 October the BBC reported that "A Royal Navy officer has been sent home from the U.S. after reporting to take charge of a submarine's Trident nuclear missiles while unfit for duty. Lt Cdr Len Louw is under investigation at Faslane naval base in Scotland amid reports he had been drinking. Colleagues raised concerns when the weapons engineering officer arrived for work on HMS Vigilant last month."
It must be made clear that there was no possibility this officer or any other single person could in some way commit the submarine to despatch of its weapons. It simply could not happen. But the squalid little incident did draw attention to the fact that a British nuclear submarine was in the United States for some reason and although the UK's over-staffed and infamously incompetent Ministry of Defence condescendingly announced that "the Royal Navy does not comment on matters related to submarine operations" it was apparent that the boat was in port at the U.S. submarine base in Kings Bay, Georgia, probably to update and recalibrate technical devices and to load a number of Trident II D5 nuclear missiles.
The UK keeps insisting it has an independent nuclear weapons capability, so it has to be asked why the Royal Navy needs to send submarines to the U.S. to pick up missiles. But as with so many defence matters the government tries to keep the British public in the dark as much as possible. According to the U.S. Naval Institute, "Vigilant is one of four U.K. Vanguard-class boomers that the Royal Navy maintains as part of the British nuclear deterrent force. While the MoD maintains its own nuclear warheads, British and U.S. submarines share a common stockpile of Trident II D5 missiles stored at Kings Bay."
It can also be asked why the United Kingdom government thinks the country needs nuclear weapons at all.
London's reluctance to provide information to the public about nuclear weapons is likely based on the government's desire to disguise the vast expenditure involved. When it is demanded by law that information be provided, it is released on a carefully timed basis. The public relations operators have it all planned, and choose a day when more exciting news can be either expected or manipulated, rather like the FBI's notification of the preposterous allegations that "Iran and Russia Seek to Influence Election in Final Days" that — surprise, surprise! — were headlines on the same day that former President Obama gave a speech in support of presidential candidate Joe Biden.
But the Brits didn't succeed in one particular case concerning vast expenditure on systems to replace the existing Trident nuclear missiles on its four submarines. It had been stated in the annual update to Parliament by the Ministry of Defence in December last year that "Work also continues to develop the evidence to support a government decision when replacing the warhead" and there matters rested — until in February Admiral Charles Richard, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, "told the Senate defence committee that there was a requirement for a new warhead, which would be called the W93 or Mk7. Richard said 'This effort will also support a parallel replacement warhead programme in the United Kingdom'."
The disclosure forced the underhand of the UK government, and on February 25 Defence News reported Defence Secretary Ben Wallace as stating that "To ensure the Government maintains an effective deterrent throughout the commission of the Dreadnought Class ballistic missile submarine we are replacing our existing nuclear warhead to respond to future threats and the security environment" which is a weasel-worded admission that did not mention the colossal sums of money involved.
(But then, Ben Wallace is no stranger to large sums of money, and during the 2009 revelations by the UK's Daily Telegraph concerning fiddling and greed on the part of politicians it was revealed that in 2008 he had the fourth highest expenses of any Member of Parliament, claiming £175,523 (on top of his £63,000 salary), including £29,000 a year to employ his wife as a part-time research assistant.)
The cost of replacing Trident missiles by the "life extension programme" of the warheads is not known, as the only estimate available, given in a 2006 government paper on 'The Future of the United Kingdom's Nuclear Deterrent', is £250 million which is obviously a small fraction of the true amount.
Not only is the UK committing massive sums to replace the weapons systems of existing nuclear submarines, it has embarked on an enormous programme to build four new ones to replace the Vanguard class vessels. A House of Commons research briefing of June 2020 (produced by the House Library whose researchers are not influenced by sleazy political fandangos) states that the programme involves "design, development and manufacture of four new Dreadnought class ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) that will maintain the UK's nuclear posture of Continuous at Sea Deterrence" and that "the cost of the programme has been estimated at £31 billion, including defence inflation over the life of the programme."
The United Kingdom is in a parlous economic state. The International Monetary Fund assesses that the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic will hit Britain's economy much harder than much of the rest of the world, and while nobody can forecast what will befall the UK if it abandons trade negotiations with the European Union, it is certain that there can be no economic benefit from its current policies.
The last thing the UK needs to do is to commit billions of pounds to nuclear weapons. (Although its Members of Parliament do count the pennies on occasions. They've just been told they are to get a pay increase of over 3,000 pounds a year, and on October 21 voted overwhelmingly to reject a plan for poor children to receive midday school meals during school holidays in this period of extreme financial insecurity. They're all heart.)
At the moment, UK nuclear policy is that "we are committed to maintaining the minimum amount of destructive power needed to deter any aggressor" and as noted by Scientists for Global Responsibility, "The UK's nuclear warheads are carried on Trident missiles – leased from the USA – in nuclear-powered submarines. Currently, eight missiles can be fired, carrying 40 x 100kT warheads, with a few hours' notice from a submerged submarine. The UK's total nuclear weapons arsenal consists of 195 warheads."
There is no doubt that 195 warheads would destroy enormous areas, but there is no point in going into detail, because if the submarines fired off any nuclear weapons at Russia (the only conceivable target), retaliation would ensure that the UK would cease to exist.
Just who does London imagine is being deterred by its expensive nuclear missiles? America is the only western country that would commit to firing nuclear weapons, and there is no possibility that Washington would consult London about its decision. Once Washington went to nuclear war, all that the UK could do would be to pop off its missiles to pile destruction on destruction. That's not deterrence, and Britain would be well advised to refrain from spending countless billions on a new set of nuclear toys and commit its resources to betterment of its citizens.

This launch has just been a mess. We already know about the errors the Play Store was giving everyone. Then the devices selling out in about 20 minutes in each region of the world. And today some started shipping out. Now some people are getting emails that their Nexus 4 is being back ordered up to 3 weeks before they will receive it. Now what's even more puzzling, is Google doesn't seem to be shipping the devices from the first orders, they are shipping random ones. Folks that ordered (in the US) at 8:34am PST are getting back order emails, while people that ordered later are getting shipment confirmation. Is it just me or does this look like the Nexus 7 launch all over again?
Thank you for your recent purchase on Google Play. Due to overwhelming demand, your Nexus 4 is on backorder and is expected to ship within three weeks. We'll send you a notification when your order has shipped and will credit the shipping charges.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you again for your order.
So for those that ordered, have you received this email yet? If so, we apologize.

Sepsis - What's new in 2019?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Sepsis-3 guidelines have implications in a deeper understanding of the biopathology of the disease. Further, the review focuses on timely topics and new literature on fluid resuscitation, the value of steroids in sepsis, and new therapeutic options such as angiotensin II, vitamin C, and thiamine as well as the emerging role of procalcitonin (PCT) in managing antibiotics.
RECENT FINDINGS: Traditional therapies such as type of crystalloid fluid administration and steroid therapy for sepsis are currently under re-evaluation. Angiotensin II is investigated for reversing vasodilatory shock. The role of capillary endothelium leak and cellular metabolism can be affected by vitamin C and thiamine levels. Biomarker level trends, specifically PCT, can aid clinical suspicion of infection.
SUMMARY: Sepsis-3 shifts the focus from a noninfectious inflammatory process and an emphasis on a dysregulated host response to infection. Hyperchloremic crystalloid resuscitation is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Steroid administration can reverse shock physiology; however, mortality benefits remain uncertain. Angiotensin II, vitamin C, and thiamine are novel treatment options that need further validation. PCT assays can help discern between infectious and noninfectious inflammation.
Anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy in a tertiary referral center: a 16-year retrospective, matched case-control, cohort study.
INTRODUCTION: This retrospective, matched case-control cohort study describes the incidence, indications, anesthesia techniques and outcomes of pregnancies complicated by surgery in a single tertiary-referral hospital.
METHODS: Retrospective review of the hospital records of 171 patients who had non-obstetric surgery in the current pregnancy, between 2001 and 2016. Pregnancy outcomes of these women were firstly compared with all contemporary non-exposed patients (n=35 411), and secondly with 684 non-exposed control patients, matched for age, time of delivery and parity.
RESULTS: The incidence of non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy was 0.48%, mostly performed during the second trimester (44%) and under general anesthesia (81%). Intra-abdominal surgery (44%) was the most commonly performed procedure, predominantly using laparoscopy (79%). Women undergoing surgery delivered earlier and more frequently preterm (25% vs. 17%, P=0.018); and birth weight was significantly lower [median (95% CI) 3.16 (3.06 to 3.26) vs. 3.27 (3.22 to 3.32) kg, P=0.044]. When surgery was performed under general anesthesia, low birth weight was more frequent (22% vs. 6%, P=0.046). Overall pregnancy outcomes were neither influenced by trimester nor location (intra- vs. extra-abdominal) of surgery. However, preterm birth rate secondary to surgery was higher for interventions during the third trimester, compared with other trimesters (10% vs. 0, P <0.001).
CONCLUSION: Pregnant women who underwent surgery delivered preterm more frequently and their babies had lower birth weights. Laparoscopic surgery did not increase the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. General anesthesia was associated with low birth weight. Whether these associations suggest causation or reflect the severity of the underlying condition remains speculative.

Detection of Brain Activation in Unresponsive Patients with Acute Brain Injury.
BACKGROUND: Brain activation in response to spoken motor commands can be detected by electroencephalography (EEG) in clinically unresponsive patients. The prevalence and prognostic importance of a dissociation between commanded motor behavior and brain activation in the first few days after brain injury are not well understood.
METHODS: We studied a prospective, consecutive series of patients in a single intensive care unit who had acute brain injury from a variety of causes and who were unresponsive to spoken commands, including some patients with the ability to localize painful stimuli or to fixate on or track visual stimuli. Machine learning was applied to EEG recordings to detect brain activation in response to commands that patients move their hands. The functional outcome at 12 months was determined with the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E; levels range from 1 to 8, with higher levels indicating better outcomes).
RESULTS: A total of 16 of 104 unresponsive patients (15%) had brain activation detected by EEG at a median of 4 days after injury. The condition in 8 of these 16 patients (50%) and in 23 of 88 patients (26%) without brain activation improved such that they were able to follow commands before discharge. At 12 months, 7 of 16 patients (44%) with brain activation and 12 of 84 patients (14%) without brain activation had a GOS-E level of 4 or higher, denoting the ability to function independently for 8 hours (odds ratio, 4.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.2 to 17.1).
CONCLUSIONS: A dissociation between the absence of behavioral responses to motor commands and the evidence of brain activation in response to these commands in EEG recordings was found in 15% of patients in a consecutive series of patients with acute brain injury.

Pain management after laparoscopic hysterectomy: systematic review of literature and PROSPECT recommendations.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic hysterectomy is increasingly performed because it is associated with less postoperative pain and earlier recovery as compared with open abdominal hysterectomy. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the available literature regarding the management of pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy.
STRATEGY AND SELECTION CRITERIA:
Randomized controlled trials evaluating postoperative pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy published between January 1996 and May 2018 were retrieved, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, from the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials. Efficacy and adverse effects of analgesic techniques were assessed.
Of the 281 studies initially identified, 56 were included. Of these, 31 assessed analgesic or anesthetic interventions and 25 assessed surgical interventions. Acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and dexamethasone reduced opioid consumption. Limited evidence hindered recommendations on alpha-2-agonists. Inconsistent evidence was found in the studies investigating pregabalin and transversus abdominis plane block, and no evidence was found for intraperitoneal local anesthetics, port site infiltration, or single-port laparoscopy. Measures to lower peritoneal insufflation pressure or humidify or heat insufflated gas seem to reduce the incidence of shoulder pain, but not abdominal pain.
The baseline analgesic regimen for laparoscopic hysterectomy should include acetaminophen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, dexamethasone, and opioids as rescue analgesics.
The DIFFMASK score for predicting difficult facemask ventilation: a cohort study of 46,804 patients.
Facemask ventilation is an essential part of airway management. Correctly predicting difficulties in facemask ventilation may reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality among patients at risk. We aimed to develop and evaluate a weighted risk score for predicting difficult facemask ventilation during anaesthesia. We analysed a cohort of 46,804 adult patients who were assessed pre-operatively airway for 13 predictors of difficult airway management and subsequently underwent facemask ventilation during general anaesthesia. We developed the Difficult Facemask (DIFFMASK) score in two consecutive steps: first, a multivariate regression analysis was performed; and second, the regression coefficients of the adjusted regression model were converted into a clinically applicable weighted point score. The predictive accuracy of the DIFFMASK score was evaluated by assessment of receiver operating characteristic curves. The prevalence of difficult facemask ventilation was 1.06% (95%CI 0.97-1.16). Following conversion of regression coefficients into 0, 1, 2 or 3 points, the cumulated DIFFMASK score ranged from 0 to 18 points and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.82. The Youden index indicated a sum score ≥ 5 as an optimal cut-off value for prediction of difficult facemask ventilation giving a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 59%. The DIFFMASK score indicated that a score of 6-10 points represents a population of patients who may require heightened attention when facemask ventilation is planned, compared with those patients who are obviously at a high- or low risk of difficulties. The DIFFMASK score may be useful in a clinical context but external, prospective validation is needed.
Interscalene versus supraclavicular plexus block for the prevention of postoperative pain after shoulder surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: Interscalene brachial plexus blockade is the most common regional anaesthesia technique for alleviating pain after shoulder surgery, but complications occur, including ipsilateral hemidiaphragmatic paresis, Horner's syndrome and hoarseness. The supraclavicular approach might be an effective alternative with fewer adverse effects.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in postoperative pain scores and morphine equivalents between interscalene and supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks. Secondary endpoints were serious adverse events.
DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive literature search of Embase, CENTRAL, MEDLINE and Web of Science was performed from the earliest record to December 2018. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Prospective randomised controlled trials that compare interscalene and supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks in patients undergoing shoulder surgery were eligible for inclusion. Only studies that reported their methods transparently and comprehensibly were included. Conference abstracts or meeting abstracts were not excluded a priori. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane methodology.
RESULTS: Twelve studies were eligible for meta-analysis. The supraclavicular approach showed overall comparable 24-h pain scores (mean difference -0.34; 95% CI -0.75 to 0.07, P = 0.11) and comparable morphine equivalent consumption (mean difference 1.84 mg per 24 h; 95% CI -0.00 to 3.69, P = 0.05). Secondary endpoint analysis revealed a significantly lower rate of hemidiaphragmatic paresis (risk ratio 0.56; 95% CI 0.39 to 0.82, P = 0.003) and Horner's syndrome (risk ratio 0.29; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.44, P < 0.00001) for the supraclavicular approach. There was no significant difference in hoarseness (risk ratio 0.73; 95% CI 0.48 to 1.13, P = 0.16).
CONCLUSION: After 24 postoperative hours, pain scores and consumption of morphine equivalents were comparable. Adverse effects were less common with the supraclavicular approach. The supraclavicular approach might be an efficient alternative to the interscalene approach for shoulder surgery. However, the available evidence is inadequate and prevents a firm conclusion.
