New rapid prototyping facility set to transform engineering at Southampton
Published: 16 August 2012Origin: Engineering
The installation of a new rapid prototyping facility at the University of Southampton is set to transform Engineering design and teaching activities and better equip students for employability in a changing world.
Rapid prototyping, or 3D printing, is regarded as the third industrial revolution in manufacturing. It has been widely accepted as a modern product design, which provides greater design freedom, faster design process, more efficient materials usage and tool-less manufacturing.
3D printing works by converting 3D CAD engineering drawings into solid objects from nylon powder using laser melting. The object is built, layer by layer, with each layer the thickness of a human hair. It allows designers and engineers to create complex and lightweight parts rapidly.
Researchers in Engineering and the Environment at the University of Southampton have embraced the techniques and have already produced a number of world firsts, including the world's first 3D printed plane and the first fully rapid prototyped air vehicle, the ASTRA (Atmospheric Science through Robotic Aircraft) Atom, to enable low cost observations of the physical parameters of the atmosphere.
The installation of the new £300k state-of-the-art facility, which includes access to expert design staff, a powder-based 3D Systems ZPrinter Z650 machine, a plastic photopolymer-based ZBuilder Ultra along with associated consumables (both supplied by Emco Education Ltd), and two BFB3000 rapid prototyping colour printers housed in a newly refurbished lab, is funded by Engineering and the Environment at the University and Southampton's Student Centredness Fund. The facility will significantly enhance undergraduate engineering degree programmes at all levels and will also further link to wider education and outreach activities across the University.
Using this new facility, students will able to use their theoretical and practical knowledge to create designs, have them printed off within a few hours and walk out of the lab physically holding what they have designed.
Professor Simon Cox, Associate Dean, Enterprise in the University's Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, comments: "The ability to take designs from a CAD workstation to fully functional prototypes is truly inspirational and exciting for students across all of our engineering disciplines and brings together the excellence and passion of University staff to create a distinctive Southampton engineering experience."
Andy Ure, second year MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics student, says:"Having access to the world-class 3D printing facilities has allowed me to develop my design skills in a way that was not possible before. Instead of having my final designs simply shown on a screen, the new printer makes it possible for me to bring them to life. Furthermore, having this opportunity has helped me better understand a quickly developing field that will become essential in the future industrial environment."

Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold Reigers, auch Reygers (* 2. Februar 1818 in Bocholt; † 1. März 1906 ebenda), war ein deutscher Jurist, Richter und Abgeordneter in der Preußischen Nationalversammlung sowie Lokal- und Regionalhistoriker für den Raum Bocholt und das Westmünsterland.

Leben
Reigers wurde als ältestes von neun Kindern des Kanzleirats Johann Baptist Anton Reigers (1787–1869) und dessen Ehefrau Elisabeth Charlotte, geborene von Donop, in Bocholt geboren. Er besuchte das Königlich Preußische Gymnasium in Coesfeld und studierte von 1836 bis 1839 Rechtswissenschaften in Bonn und Heidelberg, wo er 1846 die letzte juristische Prüfung ablegte. Anschließend beschritt er eine Richterlaufbahn in der Justiz Preußens, die ihn zunächst bis 1851 an Gerichte in Vreden und Stralsund führte. Als er Oberlandesgerichts-Assessor in Vreden war und sich 1848 die Märzrevolution ereignete, kandidierte er für den Wahlkreis Ahaus und wurde Mitglied der Preußischen Nationalversammlung. Am 15. Februar 1855 heiratete er in Brilon Therese Carpe, die 1856 die Tochter Maria gebar, welche im gleichen Jahr verstarb. Viele Jahre war er als Kreisgerichtsrat in Borken tätig, wo er sich 1875 pensionieren ließ.

In seine Vaterstadt Bocholt zurückgekehrt wandte er sich der Geschichte von Stadt und Region Bocholt zu, die er vor allem durch Studium von Unterlagen des städtischen Archivs erforschte.

Something has gone seriously wrong with Mars Probe 7. With no contact from the astronauts since the rocket started its return journey from Mars, Space Control is now extremely worried about the fate of the crew. To find out what has happened to the astronauts, the Doctor must head into space without the TARDIS.


I am known in the industry for my knowledge of airline operations, what airlines want, what is practical etc.
I would like an image that has the name incorporated. I deal with clients from all over the world - governments, airlines and the UN. It needs to have a strong aviation connection.

Long-term care changes backed despite protests
Todd Richmond
MADISON — Republicans who control the Legislature's budget committee on Wednesday adopted most of Gov. Scott Walker's plan to expand the Family Care program and incorporate elements of the IRIS program into it, pushing aside pleas from minority Democrats and advocates for the disabled to leave both programs alone.
The Republican lawmakers tweaked Walker's plan in places, adding language that guarantees enrollees would still have a say in developing their care plans and would keep receiving state stipends to cover services they need just as IRIS provides.
Advocates for the disabled still balked at the move. They predicted the changes would disrupt the lives of thousands of people who rely on IRIS. Committee Democrats, wearing "Save IRIS" buttons, argued during a hearing that the plan would make people's lives harder.
"Let's just drop it," said Sen. Jon Erpenbach, D-Middleton. "The uncertainties are mind-boggling. We shouldn't even be walking down this road right now."
Republicans dismissed the Democrats' concerns as hyperbole and scare tactics, insisting their plan protects self-directed services for the disabled and would lead to better integrated care.
"Let the circus of political opportunism continue," said Rep. Dale Kooyenga, R-Brookfield. "We're looking to make these programs sustainable. That's where the intent lies."
The committee voted 12-4 to insert the Republican revisions into the budget after 3½ hours of debate. All four Democrats on the panel voted against the changes.
Family Care, a Medicaid program, provides managed long-term care for the elderly and disabled to help keep them in their homes and out of nursing facilities. About 38,000 people were enrolled as of March, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Right now nine regional managed-care organizations provide Family Care services.
IRIS, which stands for Include, Respect, I-Self-Direct, provides people who qualify for Family Care with an alternative to managed care. Enrollees work with a consultant to develop a care plan addressing daily needs such as bathing, dressing and cooking and receive a monthly stipend to cover services they may need. About 11,500 people were enrolled in IRIS as of December. The program's costs have grown from $113.9 million in 2011 to $255.7 million last year.
Both Family Care and IRIS are available in 57 of Wisconsin's 72 counties. They're scheduled to expand to seven more counties this calendar year.
Walker's budget calls for seeking a federal waiver to allow the state Department of Health Services to contract with statewide managed care organizations to provide Family Care services, in effect expanding the program statewide. DHS would also include a request to end state oversight of the organizations. The spending plan would cut $14 million from the program to reflect anticipated increases in county contributions as the expansion takes hold. The budget would eliminate IRIS but allow Family Care enrollees to self-direct services.
Opponents have argued the changes would allow huge for-profit managed care organizations into Wisconsin's market, reducing options for enrollees and reducing the quality of care.
Walker's administration insists the move would create better-coordinated, more efficient care. But Rep. John Nygren, R-Marinette, and Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, told reporters earlier this month that they want "a better product" than what Walker proposed.
The plan their fellow Republicans unveiled Wednesday retains Walker's core proposal to seek federal permission to expand Family Care statewide no earlier than Jan. 1, 2017. It fleshes out how enrollees could still self-direct care and receive monthly stipends similar to IRIS but under the guidance of new entities called integrated health agencies. The agencies would help enrollees develop individual plans and manage how they spend their stipends. Providers could be audited. DHS officials would have to consult with stakeholders and the public prior to developing the final waiver request.
The plan also retains the $14 million cut but doesn't specify how state officials should reach that goal.
Lynn Breedlove, co-chair of the Wisconsin Long-Term Care Coalition, said he thinks the plan would still allow for-profit insurance companies to swoop into the state.
"This new plan is just the governor's proposal in sheep's clothing," Breedlove said in a news release. "Thousands of people expressed opposition to dismantling the current system, but the Legislature is doing it anyway. This violates the trust between the Legislature and the public."

The BMW -Toyota partnership is starting to take shape with increased news in relation to what's yours for the taking from this particular marriage. Rumors include circulated since the two automakers declared the partnership back January 2013, plenty of which have dedicated to the revival of the Toyota Supra along with the development of the next generation BMW Z4. But the Automobile is reporting how the next BMW Z4 won't are the fruit of the Bavarian automaker's collaboration having its Japanese equal. Instead, it will be a Z4 replacement which is to be called this Z5.
As such, the Z5 is expected to come having its own identity independent of the Z4, including the latest sports car or truck architecture much like what Toyota will use on this revived Supra athletics coupe. BMW is usually even aimed towards the Z5 to help weigh all around 3, 3 hundred pounds, right round the same weight as the Z4.
The next few years is shaping nearly be a great eventful time period for BMW's Z Series. News of the Z5's entrance is pretty huge. But it's also definately not the simply relevant improvement surrounding this company's roadster spouse and children. Back inside May, Auto and Drivers also described on BMW's strategies to introduction the Z2, a smaller take within the Z4 that could share it is platform while using the new Small lineup.
But where the Z5 is anxious, Automobile's document points to a model that could build within the Z4's personality and get to an even more luxurious level.
It really does come like a surprise how the Z5 won't become as powerful as the Z4. The document indicated how the former will be given a 2. 0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that could have several different end result numbers: 190 power, 245 power, and 270 power. By comparability, the 2014 Z4 comes with a 2. 0-liter four-cylinder as well as a 3. 0-liter inline-six. Output figures also change from 240 power to 335 power.
The Z5 is also being tipped to transport either some sort of six-speed information or a great eight-speed automatic transmission and a clutch.

Disgusting Malay 1MDB Saga Continues: SECRET Auditor General's report
Posted on July 8, 2016 by zaidpub
Sarawak Report has now gained extensive access to the Auditor General's report into 1MDB, along with key accompanying documents from the enquiry.
This report was originally commissioned to shed light on the disappearance of billions of dollars, but was later declared an 'Official Secret' by Najib Razak.
In charge – Najib Razak
Our review has made it abundantly clear why Najib decided that the findings could not be released, since he wishes to remain Prime Minister – after all he is also the Finance Minister and sole shareholder responsible for decision-making at 1MDB and the conclusions are damning.
What the Auditor General encountered, according to the documents, was chaos and confusion in an organisation where senior executives were unable to provide convincing or consistent explanations for vast payments made to a bogus subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's sovereign fund Aabar and to a separate false subsidiary of an earlier venture partner, PetroSaudi.
A grand total of US$7 billion is calculated as having gone missing and conflicting and unbelievable explanations were given about why the payments were made.
The AG lamented that the justifications provided for retrospective Board ratifications of those payments (which had already been made months earlier by management without prior permission) changed from one year to the next: furthermore, multi-billion dollar payments were made for the same advertised purpose two times over.
The AG even complained that management would provide one story to his enquiry on one occasion and then completely re-write their own version of events the next time they met.
There was never sufficient proof according to his data, to back up the stories being told. In particular, bank statements were not provided to substantiate many of the simply enormous sums that 1MDB management alleged were being invested in various funds or in 'refundable deposits' or 'terminations of options' with the bogus Aabar Investments PJS Limited, based in the British Virgin Islands.
Arul Kanda – last minute new versions of the truth!
On one case the AG was plainly so incensed by the variable and inconsitent claims by 1MDB management (headed by CEO Arul Kanda), that he described their final version of events as "suspicious" and "unsubstantiated" and therefore refused to accept the documents 1MDB had provided as reliable evidence.
This matter related to a purported US$1.392 billion, that had supposedly been redeemed from 1MDB's Cayman Island fund, and was originally recorded as having been spent on the termination of options owed to Aabar ($993 million), plus the repayment of loans.
That is what the Board was informed in December 2014 and what was recorded in the Annual Report (even though the AG records there was insufficient proof this was how the money was spent).
The AG – unimpressed
Then as late as February 2016, to the AG's disbelief, he was presented with a series of papers ratified by the Board on November 26th 2015 which a year on provided an entirely separate story for how the money was used.
Based on an alleged agreement signed by management in October 6th 2014 (after most of the money had already been paid), the Board on November 26th 2015 retrospectively ratified a series of payments to Aabar Ltd totalling US$1.15 billion saying they had been for the 'extension of guarantees' for loans (see our previous story).
The AG complained that there had been no mention of this belated new explanation when he had previously met with 1MDB in December, although it had all been supposedly signed off the previous month:
a. Although this resolution was approved on Nov 26, 2015 it was only presented to the JAN [AG enquiry] on Feb 2016. This important information was not raised during (JAN's) discussions with 1MDB's management held on Dec 16, 2015. This raises doubts on the veracity of the information and documents which were presented.
b. This also showed that the 1MDB management had made payments without prior knowledge or approval from the Board. The information is also in conflict with information that was given by the 1MDB management during the Board meeting on Dec 20, 2014 – that USD1.392 billion from the redeeming of SPC funds had been used to pay for Aabar's Termination of Options amounting to USD993 million and the USD399 million used for interest payments for the USD Note(s). However, JAN was unable to verify both payments. [Addendum Document to AG's Report]
It gets worse, thundered the AG in his addendum to his report, explaining why he had rejected the belated material from his enquiry, on the grounds that it was simply too suspicous:
Although the agreement was signed on Oct 6, 2014, the document was only presented to JAN on Feb 2016 and this important information was not acknowledged or raised during meetings with 1MDB's management on Dec 16, 2015. This raises doubts on the veracity of the information and documents that were presented.
4. Remittance Slip regarding payments to Aabar and Aabar Ltd
There are 9 remittance slips regarding payments to Aabar (1) and to Aabar Limited (8) which were presented to JAN on Feb 2016. This important information was not acknowledged or raised during meetings with 1MDB's management on Dec 16, 2015. The veracity of the format of documents was suspicious as it does not include written instructions to the bank nor bank statements as supporting documents.[Addendum Document to AG's Report]
Double payment meant 1MDB bought out Aabar's 'options' for more than its guaranteed power plants were even worth!
The AG continues by saying that according to the original data provided by 1MDB the 'options to Aabar' were terminated twice over with near identical payments totalling over US$1.8 billion – more than the total value of the 49% of the company Aabar was supposed to be guaranteeing.
Indeed it seems clear that the decision to alter the reason given for these payments was only taken after this outrageous double payment had been spotted and reported upon in the press over a year later. The AG wasn't buying it:
5. Funds from the Duetsche Bank loan (USD250 mil and USD975 mil), a total of USD855 mil was used for Aabar's termination of option from May to Sept 2014. According to the Board's minutes on Dec 20, 2014, a total of USD993 mil was also paid between Sept and Dec 2014. This means that the total amount paid for the termination of option was USD1.848 billion. The total termination of options payment amounting to USD855 million was only changed to Top Up Collateral (Security Deposit) a year later through the Ratification of IPO Variation Payment Made to IPIC on Nov 26, 2015. This demonstrated that the original intention of 1MDB was to pay a total of USD1.848 billion to Aabar Ltd, in contrast with the total stated in the Agreement Relating to Option Agreement (Settlement Agreement) amounting to USD300 mil (refer to Chapter 5, para 7.3.3.4. Pg 189). [Addendum Document to AG's Report]
Apart from this, the USD1.848 billion amount exceeded the 49% equity value in 1MDB Energy Sdn Bhd (1MESB), which amounts to RM1.225 billion, and RM862.40 million in 1MDB Energy Langat Sdn Bhd (1MELSB) which amounts to RM2.09 billion in total (refer to Chap 5, para 7.3.2. Pg 182).
Slack?
That a government fund could be run in such a negligent fashion, with such an apparent slip-shod attitude towards the dispensing of billions of dollars of public money, would under normal circumstances defy belief.
Ex-CEO Shahrol Halmi – protected by his dear friends Najib and Rosmah
Scanning through the AG's forensic analysis, readers are consequently led to one glaring conclusion, which is that no one, from 1MDB's management to the Board, considered it to be their job to worry about the genuine custody and investment of all this cash. In other words, the fund was plainly a front behind which money was being siphoned out by the man in charge (the sole shareholder/Finance Minister/Prime Minister).
No one could conclude otherwise from the narrative and criticism laid out in the AG's 300 page plus report and analysis, as we shall show over coming articles.
No wonder the Prime Minister, who had a year before assured Malaysians that their concerns would be put to rest about the loss-making fund through this audit, has decided to make it a secret instead.
Changing Options
This was how the Auditor General in the main body of his report referred to how the Board was informed about the supposed second payment of options to Aabar, made from money lent by Deutsche Bank, based on a promise that there was a collateral cash holding of a billion dollars in BSI Bank Singapore (untrue).
"8.9 The Board of Directors [of 1MDB] were informed on Dec 20, 2014 that Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore had agreed that the USD993 million be used to pay for Aabar's termination of options from redeeming the SPC funds amounting to USD1.392 billion. Tthe balance of USD399 million were to be used to pay interest off loans in USD Notes.
8.10 However, details about the payment of USD993 million to Aabar for the termination of options and the interest payments on the USD Notes amounting to USD399 could not be verified by JAN. The Board of Directors had also sought details on the payments on Dec 20, 2014, but checks by JAN have established that the matter was not raised again during subsequent Board of Directors meetings. During their meeting on Feb 23, 2015, the Board of Directors had raised the issue of payments for Aabar's termination of options, and that they were informed only after the payment was made. This showed that the payment for Aabar's termination of options was made without the Board of Director's approval."
In other words, neither the Auditor nor the Board of Directors were ever able to get any proof out of 1MDB management that the money had existed in the first place or had been utilised in the manner being claimed! A pattern of activity, whereby the Board failed to be consulted by management and was just expected to sign off vast payments retrospectively, is confirmed time and again in this report.
Bogus Guarantees
The AG also deals with the whole frustrating story of the supposed 'security deposits for guarantees', which we now also know were in fact never part of the formal agreements with Aabar/IPIC when the Abu Dhabi fund agreed to guarantee the US$3.5 billion raised in two 'power purchase' loans in May and October 2012.
He confirms that nevertheless a total of US$1.367 billion was paid in the name of such guarantees to the bogus Aabar Limited in BVI:
Chap 5 – Energy Sector.
Item 7 "Funding for 1MDB Group's Energy Sector"
7.3.2.2. Collaboration Agreement for Credit Enhancement
7.3.2.2. (f) Checks by JAN [AG Department] found that the security deposit amounting to USD1.367 billion (RM4.468 billion) was paid by 1MEL (1MDB Energy Ltd) and 1MELL (1MDB Energy [Langat] Ltd) to Aabar Ltd and was recorded as a security deposit in the financial statements of 1MEHL (1MDB Energy Holdings Ltd) for the year ending May 31 2013 and 2014. However, the security deposit payments were made without the approval of the Board of Directors. The responsibility of payment for the security deposit for the issuance of the first USD Notes was transferred to 1MEHL because 1MEHL had acquired 1MEL from 1MDB. This is based on the Assumption for Obligations Agreement dated Nov 1, 2012 between 1MEHL and 1MEL. Details are as follows:
Table 5.27 – Security Deposit Payments to Aabar Ltd [pg 184]
Date Payee Total USD mil Total RM mil
22/05/2012 1MEL 576.94 1,885.73
19/10/2012 1MELL 790.35 2,583.63
TOTAL 1,367.29 4,468.99
Source: Agreement and Deloitte papers
Note: BNM exchange rates = May 2012 (RM3.18) and Oct 2012 (RM3.06)
Total of US$7 billion missing!
The above dodgy payment, it should be noted, joins a number of others which the AG said 1MDB failed to substantiate with any concrete evidence such as bank statements.
Accompanying the report is a chart produced by the AG's department detailing the unsatisfactory and unproven payments identified by his enquiry, with total up to the US$7 billion, which the AG concludes has effectively gone missing from 1MDB:
INVESTMENTS WHICH COULD NOT BE VERIFIED
Date Total (USD mil) Reference
[in AG's Report] Remarks

Chap 6, 2.2., pg 261 1,565.99 Investment in investment fund manage by BSI Lugano Switzerland
TOTAL 2,505.86 [GRAND TOTAL $6.87 bn]
The culpability and deliberate deceit behind all this mismanagement is summed up by the Auditor in his addendum document about the bogus 'Top-Up Security Deposit'. His final paragraph states that the then CEO and present Board Member Shahrol Halmi, knew perfectly well there were no payments owing to Aabar for its guarantees on the loan. This was because the AG had a copy of the original agreement signed between Halmi and IPIC/Aabar in May 2012. IPIC was happy to rely on the promise of a Malaysian Ministry of Finance obligation to 1MDB (ie the taxpayer was liable).
IPIC and 1MDB had signed another agreement known as Interguarantor Agreement on May 21, 2012. This agreement was signed by Shahrol Azral on behalf of 1MDB and Khadem Al-Qubaisy for IPIC. Checks by JAN showed that the agreement did not state a need for 1MDB or its subsidiaries to issue USD Notes to implement the "option and credit enhancement" to Aabar Ltd in return for a guarantee from IPIC. (emphasis theirs).
According to the main condition of this agreement, 1MDB must continue to be wholly owned by MKD (Finance Ministry Inc). 1MDB also needs to receive sufficient support and funds from MKD to repay IPIC, should 1MDB fail to repay all the cost, expenditure and all obligations regarding this note [USD Notes?]. Although a guarantee was given by IPIC, 1MDB still bears all the risks should there be any failure to pay for all the cost regarding the servicing of the USD Note.
Following the AG's report and parallel Public Accounts Committee report the Inspector General of Police publicly notified that he would be investigating this former CEO and Board Member of 1MDB over suspected criminal behaviour.
Secret no longer.
However, a month later and no such moves have been made, although numerous critics of 1MDB (all vindicated) have been harassed, persecuted and charged on apparently trumped up charges.
Halmi, on the other hand, has let it be known that he considers himself protected by the power of the Prime Minister/Finance Minister and the kind and gracious support which he is receiving from his wife, Rosmah Mansor.
SR wishes readers a Happy Eid with hopes for better things to come.
More on the details of the AG report later this week.

Exclusive: Mirai Attack Was Costly For Dyn, Data Suggests
New Hampshire based Dyn suffered a big hit following the Mirai botnet attacks, with around 8% of domains that relied on its managed DNS service dropping the service.
In-brief: More than 14,000 Internet domains stopped using managed DNS services from Dyn, the New Hampshire based company, following an October botnet attack on the company, data from Bitsight suggests.
The Mirai botnet attacks that took managed Domain Name System services from New Hampshire based Dyn offline in October caused short-lived pain for Internet users trying to reach popular web sites like PayPal, Twitter, Reddit, Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify.
The attacks may have had more lasting implications for Dyn – and other Internet companies like it- as new data suggests that around 8% of the web domains relying on Dyn's managed DNS service dropped the service in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Approximately 14,500 web domains that used Dyn's managed Domain Name System services prior to the Mirai attack stopped using them immediately following the attack, according to data compiled by the firm BitSight – a big blow to the company that was on the receiving end of the global Internet of Things botnet attack.
"The data show that Dyn lost a pretty big chunk of their customer base because they were affected by (Mirai)," said Dan Dahlberg, a Research Scientist at BitSight Technologies in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dahlberg was speaking at an event in Cambridge on January 24.
[Use this form to obtain a link to Dahlberg's presentation on Dyn.]
Dyn, which is based in Manchester New Hampshire, provides a managed Domain Name System (DNS) service to a wide range of firms. DNS is a foundational Internet technology that translates human readable domains (like "securityledger.com") into numeric IP addresses that computers use to send data back and forth.

Dyn was recently acquired by Oracle Corporation.
Dyn was one of a handful of organizations that were the victim of a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks starting on October 21st. The attacks were launched by a global population of Internet of Things devices like IP enabled cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs) that had been infected with malicious software known as "Mirai."
To determine the impact of the Mirai attack on the firm, BitSight, which provides security rating services for companies, analyzed a set of 178,000 domains that were hosted on Dyn's managed DNS infrastructure before ad immediately after the October 21st attacks. Around 145,000 of those exclusively used Dyn as their managed DNS provider. While around 33,000 used Dyn as one of their authoritative DNS providers.
Following the attack, 139,000 of the 145,000 domains continued to use Dyn exclusively, a loss of 6,000 domains or around 4% of the total. Among those domains that used Dyn along with other managed DNS providers, 25,000 continued to use Dyn after the attack, a loss of 8,000 domains or 24%. The absolute numbers are a sample based on observed domains using Dyn prior to the attack occurring, BitSight said.
Contacted by Security Ledger, Dyn declined to comment on the BitSight figures.
Dahlberg said that the impact of the attacks was felt mostly in industries like entertainment and media, followed by technology. Though companies across the economy relied on Dyn's managed DNS services, including firms in the aerospace sector, tourism and hospitality and more.
The impact of the botnet attack would have hit companies that exclusively used Dyn's services the most severely, preventing Internet users who were trying to reach those web sites, hosted web applications and other services from doing so. But the public facing outages may have only been a small part of the total impact, Dahlberg said. Companies using DYN for API (application program interface) or software updates would have been affected in many ways – not just web site availability, he said.
It is unclear whether some of the 14,500 domains that dropped Dyn's services in the immediate aftermath of the botnet attack may have returned to Dyn.
Dahlberg cautioned, also, that the numbers of domains hosted on Dyn's infrastructure may be more than the number of customers, as many own more than one domain that used Dyn's services.
Further, Dyn (no Oracle) offered a number of DNS-related products, including a recursive DNS service. The DDoS attack only affected customers who were using their Managed DNS product, Dahlberg said.
The observations by Bitsight are interesting because it is typically difficult to judge the bottom line impact of incidents like denial of service attacks on businesses. Denial of service attacks are common and can be used for everything from extortion to retribution – as was the case in the attacks on security reporter Brian Krebs' website krebsonsecurity.com.
And successful attacks like those on Dyn sow fear within the business community said Bruce Gregory*, the CEO of Corsa Technologies, a Ottawa based company that is launching a new hardware appliance to help companies fend off denial of service attacks.
"What we don't know is how much (cybercriminals) need to use the attack to extract what they want from the people they're attacking," he said. "We're not seeing who is getting threatened with an attack like 'we'll take you down if you don't pay us two Bitcoin' and who understand that the attack is credible."

Since the publication of the Francis report, the Secretary of State has asked asked David Dalton and Professor Norman Williams to conduct a review focussed primarily on the duty of candour threshold for health provision.
Below is a letter from Anna Bradley, Chair of Healthwatch England, to Professor Williams and Mr Dalton on Healthwatch England's perspective on the important commission they have been given by the Secretary of State to review the scope or the proposed extension to the Duty of Candour.
As you will know, Healthwatch England is the consumer champion in health and social care. We welcomed the Government's proposed expansions to the duty of candour which was announced on 19th November 2013. As I told the Minister of State for Care and Support, Rt. Hon. Norman Lamb MP, in my advice to him on 8th November 2013, the introduction of an organisational duty will be an important step in protecting people from harm and increasing openness and transparency in treatment and care.
Having seen an early set of draft regulations and having regard to the CQC's current reporting requirements on patient safety issues, we are concerned that the threshold at which a duty of candour would be set and urge you to recommend candour in all incidents of moderate harm and worse. We also ask you to recommend a statutory duty of candour applying both to individuals and organisations, which we believe would be the clearest and best articulation of the principle.
The right to honest information about one's treatment should not be limited to those who have suffered severe or fatal injury. Any level of harm can have profound ramifications for the person who suffers it, as well as for that person's family. Additionally, we have seen repeated examples of minor harm escalating into serious harm, because the person was unaware of the condition and thus could not take corrective actions.
Applying the duty to only the most serious of cases would mean significant incidents could still be covered up resulting in the tragic failings documented in the reports of Sir Robert Francis QC, Sir Bruce Keogh, Professor Don Berwick, Rt. Hon. Anne Clwyd MP and Professor Tricia Hart.
We also continue to believe that a statutory duty of candour is necessary, as anything weaker than this (i.e. the contractual duty or the professional codes of candour and openness) will not act as a sufficient deterrent to, and safeguard from, poor practice.
Many alarming incidents relating to candour have come to light after the implementation of the professional and contractual duties, and we have serious concerns about the potential for differential application of the duty across the professional regulators under the proposed new regime.
We believe that a universal statement on candour would be a far more powerful tool for creating the cultural intervention needed to promote greater openness and transparency in health and social care. We also believe that efforts to improve training to protect and support staff in applying the duty will be crucial in making sure that the duty is realised in practice, and serves as a powerful force for protecting patients' rights.
If you would like to discuss this further or require any more detail do not hesitate to contact me.
Our Chair, Anna Bradley, has also written to the Secretary of State, Norman Lamb MP clarifying our position on the duty of candour.
In addition, our Chief Executive, Katherine Rake, has written to David Dalton and Professor Norman Williams to share Healthwatch England's views before the review on the proposed extension of the duty of candour.

KARAGOSIAN'S CORNER
Digitization: much more than a mere replacement technology for film projection
Film technology was over 100 years old when the motion picture industry began its shift to digital projection. In March 2015, as this piece is written, the conversion of cinemas worldwide is nearly complete.
More than a mere replacement technology for film projection, digital projection introduces new complexities as well as new efficiencies in cinema operations. But this new shift in technology also thrusts the cinema into the age of digital media, where no cinema has gone before.
Just as consumers are continually bombarded by new "must have" technologies, exhibitors also face pitches from manufacturers to upgrade and improve their cinemas.
More than ever, exhibitors need ongoing educational forums to best filter the value of new innovations as they consider new investments.

WOMEN IN DIGITAL CINEMA
Isabelle Fauchet
Founder and CEO of Live Digital Cinema
I was born in France and at the age of 13 decided that I would move to the UK as soon as possible. I did so at 21 after graduating in International Trade in Paris. Initially, I studied at Guildhall University in London and got a degree in Film, Business and German. Whilst I am still a French national although I have been living in the UK for 24 years and my kids are British, my family is multi-cultural and multi-ethnic (I have Japanese, West Indian, French, Dutch, and Danish and Native Indian roots). I think this played a big part in my moving to the UK (I come from a long line of migrants!) and to work in the development, production and distribution of TV documentaries internationally as those encompass stories from around the world.
My career now spans some 23 years in the digital world. Some early highlights of my career include setting up the Documentary Development Funding Department for the European Commission MEDIA Programme II in the mid-90's and distributing and raising finance for documentaries for a number of UK and French based producers.
I also filmed and produced two documentaries, one of which, shown on French TV, was on my Japanese great-grandfather, a child acrobat performing in the Vaudeville circuit in the United States in the late 19th century. It's in the course of making this film (a labour of love over 10 years) that I discovered that many of my forbearers (including my grandfather) had been film projectionists in the early days of cinema. I even found a 3-minute film shot by Thomas Edison in 1901 at the Pan-American exhibition in Buffalo, NY, called "The Japanese Village" which features my great-grandfather, then 21, performing with his two brothers. This was truly a jaw-dropping moment in my life. It is one of the earliest films of cinema and part of the American heritage held at the Library of Congress and readily available to view on YouTube.
In my early 20s, I also had a strong desire to become an opera singer. However, having built a career in the media, I felt it would be hard to switch over. This is perhaps what led me to get my first job in the media selling ballet and opera programmes to airlines. Little did I know that 20 years later, in 2009, I would be heading the Cinema Department at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. I found myself now working in film distribution and had to familiarise myself quickly with the specifications of this changing industry.
It was both a fantastically exciting and challenging time as the digital roll-out in cinemas across the world was still underway and few cinemas were showing what we call alternative content or event cinema at the time. The Met had only just started the live transmissions of its operas and I was to develop with a small team the full international cinema network for the ROH. Whilst it took a lot of convincing at the beginning, cinemas saw over time an incredible surge in the audiences for this particular content and in the years that ensued the number of cinemas showing this type of content grew exponentially.
Having established a full network of 1,000 cinemas in some 45 countries at the ROH in under 5 years, I left the ROH in late 2013 to set up a consultancy, www.livedigitalcinema.com, working specifically on cinema events. My main client is the distribution company More2Screen. Because of my experience with early cinema events, I was asked to join the board of directors of the Event Cinema Association when it was created in 2012. I am thoroughly dedicated to this area and feel that the possibilities of new cinema formats are endless. However, what makes me happiest of all is to know that through live screenings in cinemas that only this digital technology can provide, people are now able to experience and enjoy the same event simultaneously around the world.
ALL DIFFERENT ALL DIGITAL
This column hosts portraits of cinemas in Europe and the rest of the world which are quite different from one another but have in common the fact that they have all adopted digital projection.
Světozor Kino

Wenceslas Square is the live and pulsing heart of Prague and - in the words of Italian singer-songwriter Giorgio Gaber: "so full of window displays, shops, posters that get bigger and bigger," that it may seem quite unlike Prague to the visitor in search of the Renaissance or signs of the troubled XXth century.
But only two steps away from the Square, at the Kino Světozor, our traveller seeking destinations off the beaten track will be able to find a place where history communicates with the present. Founded in 1918, soon transformed into a cabaret, returned to its original use in 1957, it became internationally famous in 1968 when, for a year and a half, it was home to the Kino Automat, i.e. the experiment in interactive cinema exhibited in the Czech Pavilion, at the International and Universal Exhibition in Montreal, Expo 67.
Today the Světozor has evolved from the panoramic cinema it was in the '50s, to a city art-house miniplex that concentrates on the quality of its programming, avantgarde technology and customer services.
Indeed, since its reopening in 2004, the cinema has enjoyed the support of a loyal audience, which has gradually made it into the most widely attended non-multiplex cinema in the country. Besides screening quality, contemporary, art-house films, in its two digitally-equipped auditoriums, Světozor also hosts a wide range of festivals and offers live broadcasts of the worlds' finest theatre and opera performances. An important part of Světozor's identity is its film-shop "Terry Posters", named after its godfather, Terry Gilliam. "Terry Posters" is not only the name of a shop offering all kinds of goods related to quality films (posters, books, dvds, clothes etc.), but also a giant archive of the unique history of Czechoslovakian art-film posters from the years 1960-1989, comprising over 90,000 posters of 15,000 kinds. The Světozor offers its audiences a variety of initiatives plus a bar and café with Wi-Fi Internet and their own brew of beer with the same name - the lager Světozor, brewed in the town of Nová Paka.
The Světozor is part of Aeropolis, a small but dynamic art-house cinema chain, which has also started up its own version of Secret Cinema. But we shall deal with this in our next issue.
NOT ONE LESS
The process of digitalization in cinemas, albeit with considerable differences from territory to territory, is reaching its final phase and the so-called "switch-off" for traditional film is almost complete. But which cinemas have not yet converted to the new technology? And why? This column has been opened to find answers to these questions, presenting portraits of cinemas in Europe that have not yet digitalized or that are still looking for a way to deal with the shift.

The Eden Cinema tries again
The curtain rises once again for the Eden Cinema in Arezzo, which closed in May 2014, due to the lack of a digital projector and the impossibility of obtaining films for the previous generation of film projectors. The great event took place on 17 December 2014, surprising the Arezzo's inhabitants, who had already lost the municipal Petrarca Theatre over 10 years previously and had got used to the ineffective promises of politicians as to its re-opening.
Instead, the Eden, the Arena Eden, has managed it, thanks to private funding. The owner of the theatres contributed with half the sum necessary for buying two new projectors. The other half was provided by a courageous, local, cultural association, "Officine della Cultura", which succeeded in obtaining the funding allotted by the European Union for assisting digitisation in cinemas. The same association that also achieved to reopen the "Verdi" theatre of Monte San Savino.
The cost of the projector for the larger auditorium in the Eden, seating 166, was 55 thousand euros, whilst an outlay of 33 thousand euros ensured that the small auditorium, too, was fitted with modern equipment. The projectors are all supplied by Barco.
The second baptism of the only cinema in town was well publicized by fans of the Eden's Facebook page, to the extent that the news was sent to me by a friend from Atlanta in the USA, galvanized by the fact that when she comes back to Arezzo next summer, she will be able to spend a few pleasant evenings at the open-air cinema.
And this is how I, too, found myself at the packed re-opening party, culminating in the screening of "Modern Times", newly renovated and digitalized by the Cineteca di Bologna.
For now the ticket prices at the Eden have increased slightly and some evenings a film can be seen for only 5.50 euros, although the programming has become far more interesting, given the greater opportunity for choosing the films on the market.
To keep the multi-screen cinema open for more evenings a week and encourage the public to start going out to the cinema again, they have come up with the nice idea of the Wednesday film series, which offers films that could not be shown during the months when the Eden was closed, and is entitled "We apologize for the delay".
And more could be done to gain new audience, if the programming rules dictated by the distributors were not so inflexible, with constrictions that almost succeed in eliminating the advantage obtained thanks to the use of digital, i.e. the facility and speed of distribution. "At times, being obliged to keep a film running for two weeks is an enormous disadvantage in terms of audiences," confesses an employee, "we know that there are films that will not draw enough spectators to fill two weeks of programming, or a total of 20 screenings. More flexibility on the part of the distributors would help us to keep small theatres open, thanks to the wider range of titles that would be available. It would be nice to have the chance, as happens abroad, of choosing a children's film in the afternoon and one for adults in the early or late evening, or simply the possibility of changing the programme after only a few days of screening."
Constrictions such as these prevent theatres from looking to the future with greater optimism, so the Eden is certainly not planning to splash out on 3D or satellite connections: "At present we are improvising." explains the head of programming, "We are very happy to have opened again and if the public responds, we shall make further plans."
An article about the Cinema Eden's goodbye screening on 4 May 2014 was published in the DGT Online Informer no. 106.

Half of me was stitched together by the open mountain air, the flowing and fearless ocean, and the free spirit of adventure. Half of my heart will always beat to the rhythm of cultures colliding. My thoughts will always meander along winding paths between the polar points of norms. A rush of adrenaline, a thrill of adventure, a change of view; these traits engraved on my spirit, an ever hungry search. California raised me, and loves me still.
The smell of rain soothes the troubles of my mind. My eyes caress the green lush land, the stunning beauty of the bayous, and the gentility of grazing cattle. Food that promises to satisfy flesh, warms and feeds the soul. The midnight stars shine like visible Gods in the sky, as peace and tranquility sing their polite song. My Louisiana, where half of my existence and all of my plans, serenely dwell.
Half of me born of the former. Half of me formed by the later. All of me proud of the pieces.


August 31, 2012: Two prisoners were executed by hanging on August 28 at a prison in the capital of the newly-independent nation of South Sudan, the United Nations (UN) reported, adding that they may have been convicted without having proper legal assistance.
Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said during a news conference in Geneva that two men were hanged in the Central Prison in Juba. "One of the issues there is that they did not have proper legal assistance," Colville said, without giving other details.
The executions in South Sudan follow a sudden wave of executions in other countries in recent days. Nine death row inmates were executed by firing squad in Gambia late last week after they were previously convicted of murder or treason, or both. Iraq then executed 21 prisoners convicted of terrorism-related offenses between 27 and 29 August 2012.
Colville voiced his concern about the executions in South Sudan as well as the executions in Iraq and Gambia. "We urge all States, who have not yet done so, to introduce - or reintroduce - an official moratorium on the use of the death penalty aiming to abolish it," he said, noting that 150 states have already abolished the death penalty or introduced a moratorium.
South Sudan became independent in July 2011 when it officially seceded from Sudan as a culmination of a six-year peace process which began in January 2005 with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM).
The executions on August 28 are believed to be the country's first this year.

Rudolf Baranik est un artiste, éducateur et écrivain né en 1920 en Lituanie et mort en 1998.

Biographie
Né en Lituanie, il émigre aux États-Unis en 1938. Bien connu dans le monde de l'art pour son plaidoyer politique, il est l'un des premiers artistes à organiser des manifestations contre la guerre au Vietnam. Certaines de ses œuvres les plus connues sont les Napalm Elegies, une série de 30 peintures anti-guerre créées entre 1967 et 1974. Son art s'inspire de son sens des inégalités flagrantes à travers le monde. Il dirige pratiquement tous les mouvements politiques progressistes du monde de l'art à New York des années 1960 au milieu des années 1990. Parmi les expositions et les récompenses importantes, il a reçu la bourse Guggenheim de 1981 en beaux-arts, 1982 Art Couples 1: May Stevens et Rudolf Baranik, PS 1, New York, NY et 1966 Peace Tower. Les œuvres de Baranik figurent dans de nombreuses collections, notamment le Museum of Modern Art de New York, le Whitney Museum of American Art et le Hirshhorn Museum.

Baranik est mort à Eldorado, au Nouveau-Mexique, en 1998.

Les peintures de Rudolf Baranik sont de plus en plus considérés comme parmi les œuvres les plus importantes de l'École de New York des années 1960 et 1970, en particulier ses dernières peintures considérées par le critique d'art américain, Donald Kuspit, « le vrai point culminant de cinquante ans de peinture abstraite occidentale ».

Arthritis is something that we all deal with at least once in our lives. Some people deal with it in their entire bodies, whereas others only deal with it in a spot or two.
Arthritis is, in short, a disorder that makes it difficult for your joints to move.
Sometimes, it happens because the cartilage in your joints is starting to disappear because of an injury or just because of age, in other cases, it just happens as a part of the natural aging process.
No matter what the reason, arthritis makes it hard for you to get from point A to point B – in the worst cases, you get swelling in your joints, which can be frustrating and uncomfortable for many people who end up dealing with the disease.
Arthritis can happen at any age, and for any reason – your doctor can give you the best idea as to whether or not it is the problem that you're dealing with or if your symptoms are related to another issue that your body may be fighting off or dealing with at the same time.
Why Go Natural To Help Arthritis Pain?
There are so many different remedies out there related to arthritis pain that it may seem odd that we suggest for you to try and deal with it in a natural manner.
The truth of the matter is, no matter what sort of pain or disorder that you're fending off, it is important that you can consider going natural with at least part of the treatment plan that you put together for symptom relief and healing.
Here are some of the main reasons why you may want to go natural to deal with your arthritis pain.
– It is a lot healthier for you to consider a natural path for pain relief, because it means that you aren't putting excess chemicals in your body that could end up causing the body harm as you grow older.
– The chances for addiction with pain medication are exceptionally high, and because of that, it's a lot safer for you to go with a natural path for your pain relief, instead of going with the medication trends that may be used for the same issue.
– Natural remedies are natural – they come from the world, and they are supposed to be going into our bodies, so you can feel a lot more comfortable with the results that you get when use them. They're also easy to find, so you don't have to go to a million different stores to find what you're looking for.
– Some studies prove that many of these natural remedies are remarkably helpful, especially when it comes to long term relief. Why not use a more effective form of therapy – it may seem like it costs more upfront, but in the long run, it could save you a lot of money when it comes to your future medical costs.
Have you been convinced that natural remedies are the way to go when it comes to arthritis relief?
If so, then we've got a wide collection of various natural remedies that you can try in order to get relief from your symptoms and, in some cases, even encourage the healing that your body needs in order to be able to work for its fullest potential.
As with any remedy, some of these may work for you, and some of them may not – just try the ones that you think will work and see what ones may give you what you're looking for.
There are numerous natural supplements available that claim to have the capacity to diminish joint pain that is associated with arthritis and other similar problems.
Some of the supplements and foods that are touted for arthritis pain are the ones that we will talk about here.
Continuously converse with your specialist before attempting to add supplements in order to prevent issues related to reactions that may occur between what you're taking.
They can also give you recommendations for alternatives if you're concerned about how your body may react when it comes to such issues.
Everybody needs omega-3 unsaturated fats in their diet for ideal wellbeing. Many people talk about taking omega-3 fats or fish oil supplements in order to help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and various other mental health issues.
But, that's not the only sort of thing that Omega-3 fatty acids can help with; these fats might likewise help with your joint inflammation.
Fish oil supplements, which are high in omega-3s, may assist decrease with the pain and stiffness that comes as a result of arthritis.
Many people go for fish oil first, because the supplements are relatively inexpensive and are easy to take.
Another unsaturated fat that can help is gamma-linolenic corrosive, or GLA. It's found in the seeds of specific plants like night primrose, borage, hemp, and dark currants. You can likewise purchase the seeds' oils as a supplement.
This will help to loosen up your joints without the need for any other sort of medication in the process.
Look around in your local health store to find the right supplement for your specific needs and, in any case, make sure to check with your specialist before taking them.
Turmeric, the yellow spice that you find regularly in Indian dishes, contains a synthetic called curcumin that may have the capacity to lessen arthritis pain.
The mystery is its mitigating properties. The NIH reports that turmeric given to lab rats lessened irritation in their joints.
Research on people is rare, yet it can't hurt to add this delectable zest to your meals. It's incredibly delicious and can also help with your allergies and other sinus problems, so even if it doesn't help with your arthritis, it can help with any other number of issues that you may be fighting off.
Boswellia, better known as frankincense is applauded by alternative medicine professionals for its calming capacities. It is takenfrom the gum of boswellia trees, which are found in India.
In short, the boswellia gum will help to stop what are called leukotrienes, substances that can assault the healthiest of joints in immune system mishaps, for example, rheumatoid joint pain.
A number of agencies state that there is promising confirmation of boswellia helping with arthritis pain, however, they all mention that there is an absence of human trials.
Boswellia is accessible in a tablet structure, and also in topical creams, and both of them are said to make some sort of a difference when it comes to relieving pain.
Cat's Claw is another calming herb that may lessen swelling in joint pain. This herb is from a tropical vine, and its utilization goes back to Inca civic establishments.
Generally, Cat's Claw is utilized to help boost your immune system. As of late, the immunity boosts of the herb have been used to try and help with joint pain.
The drawback is that Cat's Claw might overstimulate the immunity, possibly exacerbating the pain in the joints that is usually experienced by those with arthritis.
Studies have demonstrated that feline's paw can help with osteoarthritis torment and rheumatoid swelling.
Be that as it may, there's no evidence that this herb can avert further joint injury, and there still are some studies out there that have to be published and explored before we can make a full analysis of what is going on and whether or not it should be included in treatment – talk to your doctor for more information, if you want to consider this option as part of your treatment plan.
Another herb that a lot of people consider as part of their arthritis treatment is the well-known eucalyptus (yes, the plant that koalas like to munch on in Australia).
Like aloe vera (which is a distant cousin of the plant), eucalyptus is broadly accessible in western markets. It is utilized as a part of oral prescriptions, and topical oil concentrates are utilized for a mixture of conditions.
Topical types of eucalyptus leaves are utilized to treat the pain that is so frequently associated with arthritis. These plant leaves contain tannins, which may be useful in lessening swelling and the subsequent torment that joint pain causes.
A few clients follow up with warmth cushions to augment the impacts of eucalyptus on swollen joints, so you may want to think about combining eucalyptus therapy with heat if you want to get the best results from it.
You may have ginger in your cupboard or spice cabinet for cooking, however this herb is additionally a staple in numerous alternative medicine cupboards.
The same chemicals that give ginger its solid flavor are additionally the same ones that have pain and swelling mitigating properties.
While the studies that have been done in order to prove the usefulness of ginger when it comes to arthritis pain are limited, the ones that have been done show promise and it is likely that ginger will be included in the medicine cabinets of many who try alternative medicines and home remedies to deal with their arthritis pain.
These definitely are not the only supplements and foods that you can consider when it comes to fighting off arthritis pain, but they're a great place to start.
You can learn a lot from your doctor and other specialists that dabble in the world of herbs and supplements, so talk to your doctor and see what they recommend when it comes to how you should find the right natural techniques and treatments for you.
Your weight can have a major effect on the measure of torment you encounter from joint inflammation.
Additional weight puts more weight on your joints—particularly your knees, hips, and feet.
That means that, the more weight that you have, the more pressure that you're going to feel, and the worse the arthritis is going to end up being as you grow older.
If you have ever had an injury, excess weight is also going to make those worse – many times, people end up needing surgery in order to recover from such things.
Losing weight so as to lessen the weight on your joints will enhance your versatility, reduce the amount of pain that you feel, and make it less likely that there is going to be future harm to your joints.
Your diet should change to help with your body's overall health, and you will find that your joints work a lot better when all is said and done.
Use our foods and supplements list above to make appropriate adjustments and see what you can add in order to encourage optimal health for your joints and your bones.
Losing weight will, of course, include exercising on a regular basis so that you can actually see progress in your weight loss goals.
However, losing weight isn't the only way that exercise can help benefit you when you're fighting off the pain that is often associated with arthritis.
Standard exercise, even if you are just walking for 15 minutes to a half an hour a day, can help to keep up the flexibility in your joints.
However, you want to be careful if you walk – certain surfaces can end up causing you more pain and pressure.
With that, you definitely do not want to run – that will cause a lot of pressure, especially in your knees, which will just make everything worse.
Rather, attempt low-effect activities like water aerobics or swimming to flex your joints without including further stress in your routine.
Talk to your doctor or physical therapist to see what they recommend when it comes to exercise routines for your arthritis.
Just plain old hot and cold therapy can improve things significantly in the matter of joint pain. Long, warm baths or showers—particularly in the morning—help ease the stiffness and pain in your joints.
Utilize an electric blanket or some other type of electric heat source during the evening to keep your joints loose.
You could also consider using warm, wet washcloths in order to help loosen up your joints even more than you would have otherwise.
Warm and cold therapies, especially when you switch between the two, are known to make a huge difference in the pain and flexibility.
Another important therapy that you may want to consider is massage therapy. It can play a huge role in helping your muscles to stay loose and your joints to relieve their stiffness.
Some studies indicate that general massage of ligaments and joints can assist with the reduction of pain and stiffness, and enhance how much you're able to move your joints around.
You can work with your doctor or physical therapist to learn about self-massage, or you can call and make an appointment with a professional massage therapist.
If you go with a professional, make your appointments at least once every other week – your doctor or your massage therapist can recommend how often based on your case and your pain level.
When looking for a massage therapist, you want to look for someone that specializes in therapeutic massage, and if you can, find someone who knows how to work with people who are fighting off arthritis pain.
If you aren't sure where to look, ask your medical professional for asuggestion as to who they recommend that can help you with your particular issue.
That way, you know that you are going to get the correct treatment and you don't have to worry about the potential that is associated with possible injury with someone who is not knowledgeable about the issues that you're dealing with.
Arthritis can be a very stressful and irritating disorder to try and deal with, and sometimes, modern medicine just isn't going to do the trick.
So, if you have found that modern medicine just isn't working, or you want to try to go all natural before you jump in and try a medicinal treatment plan, then these are definitely things that you're going to want to go ahead and try first.
Before you change any treatment, make sure that you talk to your doctor to learn more about the disorder and to see what they recommend when it comes to taking care of your particular problem.
They can give you the guidance that you need in order to ensure that your health is as it should be, and they can give you other recommendations that you can try while trying to relieve your pain.
Either way, your doctor is an invaluable source and you want to make sure that they are working with you, no matter what treatment plan that you have decided to put together or pursue on your own.

Q: Comparing two dictionaries Key values and return a new dictionary with the differences What I want to do is to compare two dictionaries:
predict = {'eggs': [1,2],'ham': [1,2,3], 'sausage': [1,2,3]}
actual = {'eggs': [2], 'ham': [1,2]}

and return a new dictionary of the difference:
difference = {'eggs': [1],'ham': [3], 'sausage': [1,2,3]}

What would be an efficient way (for large amount of data) to do this? Thanks.

A: This should do it:
difference = {}
for key, value in predict.items():
    difference[key] = [el for el in predict[key] if (key not in actual) or (el not in actual[key])]

print(difference)

edit:
code was update to handle missing categories in the actual list

A: You can combine set.difference() and dict comprehension:
>>> predict = {'eggs': [1,2],'ham': [1,2,3]}
>>> actual = {'eggs': [2], 'ham': [1,2]}
>>> difference = {k: list(set(v).difference(actual[k])) if k in actual else v for k, v in predict.items()}
{'eggs': [1], 'ham': [3]}

Explanation:

*

*You iterate over predict key-value pairs

*The new difference dictionary will have the same keys as predict and actual

*But its values will be the set difference of the current lists

*set(v).difference(actual[k]) - As the keys are the same, you can access actual[k] and find its difference with the current one (which is v)

*Finally, you cast your result set with the difference to a list to have an output as requested.

Eva Germaine Rimington Taylor (Highgate, 1879 - Wokingham, 5 de julio de 1966), abreviada frecuentemente como E. G. R. Taylor, fue una geógrafa e historiadora británica.

Huérfana de madre a los tres años, estudió en las escuelas femeninas North London Collegiate School y en la Camden School.  Se graduó en química en la universidad de Londres y durante unos años impartió clases de su especialidad.  Poco después se matriculó en la universidad de Oxford en la rama de geografía, trabajando durante unos años como ayudante del director de la escuela de geografía de Oxford Andrew John Herbertson.  En 1920 ofició como lectora a tiempo parcial en el East London College y al año siguiente en el Birbeck College, donde desarrollaría toda su posterior carrera profesional.

En 1930 fue designada para ser catedrático de universidad de geografía, siendo la primera mujer en ocupar este puesto en la historia del Reino Unido (aunque anteriormente había habido otras catedráticas en diferentes ramas del saber). En 1944 se retiró de la docencia, aunque mantuvo su actividad literaria; invidente desde 1964 por causa de una enfermedad, continuó sus trabajos con la ayuda de la también geógrafa Eila Muriel Joice Campbell hasta su muerte, ocurrida a los 87 años.

Obras publicadas
Entre sus trabajos, todos ellos escritos en inglés, además de algunos estudios demográficos y colaboraciones habituales con la Hakluyt Society, destacan los siguientes, referentes a temas de geografía e historia:

 Tudor Geography, 1485–1583 (1930);
 Late Tudor and Early Stuart Geography, 1583–1650 (1934);
 The Mathematical Practitioners of Tudor and Stuart England (1954);
 The Haven-Finding Art: a History of Navigation from Odysseus to Captain Cook (1956);
 The Mathematical Practitioners of Hanoverian England (1966).

Q: Sending data between classes in Cocoa Objective C I've started programming for iPhones about a month ago now, and have found the site very useful. So I though someone out there could help me.
I think I understand the basics of how @property and @synthesise work and using setters and getters, but I have a problem.
Say I have 3 classes: Functions, Class1 and Class2.
Functions is a class that holds all the data and Class1 and Class2 reads that data from it and writes new data (amends the data) to it. However both Class1 and Class2 will make there own instance of Functions as it is basically just a blueprint for the data.
So if Class1 writes or 'sets' some data (lets say) 5 to Functions and Class2 'gets' it, Class2 will get back 0 as Class1 only wrote 5 to its instance of Functions, that Class2 can't see.
I suppose first off, is that right? Second, how do I do it so Class1 and Class2 can see the same data to get and set.
Thanks for the help. I realise this might include a topic I haven't learned yet, but if so I'd love to know what it is, so I can lern it.

A: You have a number of options that all stem back to ensuring Class1 and Class2 use the same instance of the "shared object".

*

*Expressly pass the same instance to Class1 and Class2 from the outside, rather than allowing Class1 and Class2 to create an instance themselves; or

*Provide a singleton initializer to the Functions class, then make sure Class1 and Class2 use this; or

*Use a design pattern known as the registry pattern, and ensure Class1 and Class2 get their instance of the functions class from the registry; or

*Use dependency injection (complex).

Scenario (1) is the simplest to comprehend since it goes exactly like this:
Functions *funcs = [[Functions alloc] init];

Class1 *obj1 = [[Class1 alloc] initWithFunctions:funcs];
Class2 *obj2 = [[Class2 alloc] initWithFunctions:funcs];
/* or alternatively use setters after initialization */

Scenario (2) is the next simplest and is very common.  Cocoa provides singleton initializers to many of it's classes.  Whenever you see +shared... as a prefix for an initializer it's probably returning a singleton.
@implementation Functions

+(id)sharedFunctions {
  static Functions *sharedFunctions = nil;

  @synchronized(self) {
    if (sharedFunctions == nil) {
      sharedFunctions = [[self alloc] init];
    }

    return sharedFunctions;
  }
}

@end

The static variable is initialized only once, which means you can lazily load an instance of the object into it using a check for it's initial value (which only occurs once).  Every subsequent call to the method returns the same instance.
Functions *f1 = [Functions sharedFunctions];
Functions *f2 = [Functions sharedFunctions];

/* f1 == f2; */ // always

Option (3) isn't seen very much in objective-C compared to in other languages and it achieves much the same goals as the singleton.  The idea is that you have a dictionary of objects that can be looked up by key.  Everything that needs access to items in the registry just asks the registry for its own instance.  Typically the registry itself would be a singleton.
Option (4), dependency injection, is actually a very elegant solution with a number of benefits at the cost of additional complexity.  The benefits come from the fact that you've ensured the dependencies are always loosely coupled (which makes swapping out implementations, and unit testing the dependencies independently much simpler).  The complexity comes from the non-standard mechanisms for retrieving instances of what you need.
Dependency injection revolves around the idea that no object instantiates its own dependencies.  Instead of relies on something else to provide those dependencies.  That "something else" being known as a dependency-injection container.  A dependency injection container is effectively a layer on top of the registry pattern, since the container will either hold pre-built instances of the dependencies, or it will know how to instantiate new instances.
In the simplest case, dependency injection is exactly what I demonstrated in option (1).  You don't even need a dependency-injection container to achieve this.
Shifting up a level of complexity, dependency injection brings in the concept of a DI container, which encapsulates a number of existing design patterns (the registry, as seen in option (3), the singleton (likely, but not strictly) and the factory (to know how to make new instances of objects it manages).
Demonstrating a full-implementation of a DI container would probably be beyond the scope of this question, but from a public interface point of view, one implementation might look like this:
DIContainer *container = [DIContainer sharedContainer];

[container registerClass:[ClassA class]];
[container registerClass:[ClassB class]];
[container registerDependentProperty:@selector(setClassA:)
                      withInstanceOf:[ClassA class]
                            forClass:[ClassB class]];

ClassB *obj = [container makeInstanceOfClass:[ClassB class]];
NSLog(@"ClassB's -classA type = %@", [[obj classA] class]);

I just typed that off the top of my head in the middle of this post, so don't assume it is 100% accurate, but you get the concept.  The container has been instructed that when it initializes instances of ClassB, it must then invoke -setClassA:, using an instance of ClassA, which it also initializes according to the rules defined in the container (in this case there are no dependencies of ClassA so it just returns a plain instance.
If you take nothing more away from this answer, just remember options (1) and (2) ;)

A: You need to read the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide. The section relevant to your question is called Communicating with Objects.

A: This is really more a question about object oriented programming in general, but the solution applies to Objective-C as well.  What you want to do is create one instance of Functions.  That instance should be shared between the instances of Class1 and Class2.
Functions *f = [[Functions alloc] init];
Class1 *c1 = [[Class1 alloc] init];
Class2 *c2 = [[Class2 alloc] init];
// set the value of a instance variable of f to the value of aValue from c1
[f setSomeValue:[c1 aValue]];
// now change it to c2's aValue
[f setSomeValue:[c2 aValue]];

A: There are a lot of on-line references out there but I found this book to be a great asset. Programming in Objective-C 2.0 (2nd Ed.) by Stephen G. Kochan. It is a great starting place.
